1. No one has been sick in my colmado. We give everyone serviettes to wipe the rats pee off the beer bottles and tins!!! We have no rats in the colmado but who knows about the suppliers!
2. There have been cases of Dengue in Juan Dolio in the last few months. Ask the owner of Meridiana - he was in hospital for 2 weeks.
3. Juan Dolio did not 'die' with the all inclusives. It 'died' when they knocked down the hotels and started the construction, as there were no tourists as there were no hotels in Villas del Mar.
4. The construction companies should take responsibility as they are building. Provide accommodation for their workers so they do not build shacks on land which is not theirs next to villas here, polluting the water supply with their ablutions, and polluting the air with their cooking.
5. Do not say you will not fix the road until all the construction is finished. I doubt the Metro management drive scooters or bikes and fall down holes, nor do they walk at night in an unlit Boulevard and trip over. Think of the few tourists there are who cannot walk down a Boulevard full of holes. Fine, you are going to make a fortune from these apartments, but those of us who actually live here, and not in Metro Country Club have to REALLY live here and put up with the mess you make day and night.
6. Juan Dolio does still have bars (2 in Villas del Mar compared to 5 a year ago), shops and restaurants (but less than a year ago).
I know it may be great in 5 years, but now it is not, and don't try to convince people that it is. The owners of new apartments that I know are Dominican who don't go out, or US who have bought for investment. If you want a great beach (at the moment) and a quiet holiday then come here, but if you are looking for activity outside the resort then don't bother for a few years!!!
