Does anyone know what's being built east of Cabarete

[aegap]

It looks like the development of Cabarete is entering a new, very promesing and exciting phase.

Excellent promotional video and a virtual tour video that reminds me of a Pixar production.

Forget the North Coast, it seems to raise the bar higher than anything West of Punta Cana.

Their "Destination Video" looks better than anything the Deparmtent of Tourism has ever put out, and it doesn't even include images of Punta Cana!

They also have a very well done Cabarete Info page and Image Gallery of Greater Cabarete

I really like the following renderings, ..

If you have to ask, and I did, the pre-construction prices are:

$1.2 to $3.7 million US for 2 to 4 bedroom units.

It appears that Palmera has raised the bar so high that it is no longer on this planet. Perhaps the Russians will take advantage of this situation since I understand it is relatively close to their new brothel of $2K US per night imported hookers. (Like shipping crude oil to Saudi Arabia.)

The one big development on the bad road to La Boca is a Canadian one. It is an Italian from Hamilton who is doing the funding and work. I suggested he might repair the road before the project opens. Have some photos of La Boca on my web site MervsDRinsider.com Enjoy

Regarding the $1.2 to $3.7 million US for 2 to 4 bedroom units: The penthouse units are not yet priced at Palmera. Care to guess? Maybe $5 or 6 Million US?

Nice web site!... but I stopped reading it when I read this in the Cabarete section: " I loved the IRISH pub and restaurant called O'Shea's , look for it."...
Jose O'Shea's is one of the worst thing that happened to the nice environment in Cabarete and a complete Rip Off. Huge tourist-trap but unfortunately it seems to do good - I mean Irish pub on the beach, before it was a cool CARRIBBEAN place there. I loose faith in the human intelligence, when people travel down to Carribbean to drink Guinness.... It is like going to US to visit Mc Donalds.

O'Shea's a great place to party...When you are in Cabarete for 6 months out of the year, it is nice to have different styles of entertainment and foods. That is the beauty of Cabarete, the different types of restaurants; Italian, German, French, Irish, etc..., amongst the typical Dominican ones, and the different types of bars. You have a choice and you enjoy the change.
All these have not altered the feeling that you have while enjoying a nice evening on the tropical beach. This diversity is what attracts tourists and investors to our little paradise...
