    Went to Puerto plata about 2 years ago ....I’ve been going back and forth every 6-8 weeks ...... ...bought a truck about a year ago..... no more taxis....so cheap to stay there once you give up the resorts.....Airbnb is usually $20-30 a night....women are beautiful , food is fresh... plenty to see and do

    Another last one of the official babyboomer year speaking: I lived the first couple of months of my staying in the DR in the countryside of La Vega, the two following years in Puerto Plata, after that one year in Samana, despues six months in Puerto Plata again and ever since over 21 years in Jarabacoa-best place in the world. I believe that the quality of expats got better over the years but back in the 90s you had many, many expat criminals on the run from their home countries in the northern areas who tried to make their living by their shady deals. I believe in this sense it got much better over the years and these characters died out slowly. Anyway if I take a beach vacation I always prefer the North Coast-might be Cabrera, Sosua, Rio San Juan, Samana or else...

    • @EducatedTraveler
      @EducatedTraveler  5 років тому +1

      Hello Gabe! I believe the answer very much depends on which expat you ask. Single folks might prefer DR, where I.e. retired couples might prefer some of the more tranquil towns of Panama. Most who talk about Panama city, don't seem eager to return. DR is definitely quite affordable, yet for most retired folks, it takes some serious readjusting to get used to the hustlers and bad service, as here it's so much about who you know. If you're keen on some relocation consultancy, then simply send me an e-mail to info@educatedtraveler.info
