We’re back in Las Terrenas after two years. This is one of our favourite places in the Dominican Republic. In this video we’re discussing what you can expect in Las Terrenas if you’re visiting in 2024.
We start by showing you where to stay in Las Terrenas. We give a full tour of this penthouse condo in Playa Bonita Residences (Los Cocos). This condo has 3 full bedrooms and an amazing rooftop terrace. The complex also has a restaurant, multiple pools and a beachfront.

We walk around Playa Bonita and head to a place called Beluga for lunch.

Later we drive into the main town of Las Terrenas where we walk the Malecon and visit the beach for a drink. Unfortunately this area of Las Terrenas (the beachfront restaurants right in town) was fully destroyed by a fire in January 2024 (after we filmed).

Well welcome back to Las Terrenas everyoneĀ  it’s been a long time since we’ve been hereĀ Ā  almost 2 years almost 2 years and you guys haveĀ  been asking us when are we coming back we’re soĀ Ā  excited to finally be here so for the first partĀ  of our stay we’re actually over in Playa BonitaĀ Ā 

We visited this area before but we’ve neverĀ  actually stayed in the area before so we’reĀ Ā  excited to get the feel for it and like stay aĀ  little bit longer rather than just a few hoursĀ Ā  at a time and we’re staying at this beautifulĀ  residence I can’t wait to show you inside thisĀ Ā 

Place is unbelievable check out the groundsĀ  right away you’re going to see this gorgeousĀ Ā  looking pool here’s the thing the weather’s notĀ  even that great today and it still looks amazingĀ Ā  here it still looks it feels it’s nice and warm soĀ  we’re not complaining just in case it’s your firstĀ Ā 

Time to the channel my name is Trevor and thisĀ  is Anna we’re the delightful Travelers welcomeĀ Ā  aboard we actually live in cabarete so not tooĀ  far from here but we’re big fans of las terrenasĀ Ā 

If you guys followed along uh the last time weĀ  were here you know we gushed over this place LosĀ Ā  Tanis is very special and we hope in the upcomingĀ  videos you’re going to see why again we’re just soĀ Ā 

Happy to be back this is one of the most beautifulĀ  places in all of the Dominican Republic hey helloĀ Ā  we got a visitor already it was funny we ate atĀ  the there’s actually a restaurant that we’ll showĀ Ā 

You later last night and there was this oneĀ  cat maybe it was this cat that kept runningĀ Ā  around in kept missing it so I think you thoughtĀ  I was insane when I said there’s cats here we’reĀ Ā 

Absolutely huge fans of the grounds here take aĀ  look at how green everything is and of course whenĀ Ā  you match it up against the beautiful pool andĀ  the Beautiful white buildings yeah it’s safe toĀ Ā 

Say we’re big fans yeah can I move in officiallyĀ  like live here this is one of those places youĀ Ā  walk into and you’re just like in love with itĀ  it’s really really comfortable it’s bright it’sĀ Ā 

Gorgeous it is called PAB Bonita residences andĀ  this complex here is Las Cocos yeah and uh not toĀ Ā  leave out this area back here like this is rightĀ  off the pool so you have this little kind of likeĀ Ā 

There’s a bar little dining area do do you feelĀ  a little bit like you’re on a resort it totallyĀ Ā  feels like a resort and I think you’re going toĀ  agree with us as we start to explore more cuzĀ Ā 

This is a huge complex and they’re continuing toĀ  develop it I think there’s like different stagesĀ Ā  happening but down by the beach yes we’re near theĀ  beach there’s like some really cool stuff welcomeĀ Ā  inside of this pent house yes I said pent hourseĀ  this has some amazing features can’t wait to showĀ Ā 

You around we’re going to start with the kitchenĀ  which has everything that you need including likeĀ Ā  this great big stove you could literally cookĀ  anything here and also you may have rememberedĀ Ā  in a couple videos we’ve done a few tours of someĀ  condos we’ve been staying at and I keep saying IĀ Ā 

Wish the place had an island well this place doesĀ  there’s some good prep space here for sure it’sĀ Ā  got of a washer and dryer in here so that’s veryĀ  convenient full fridge got everything you needĀ Ā 

Once we start to walk from the kitchen you enterĀ  into the main living space and I absolutely loveĀ Ā  the colors in here just take a look behind me youĀ  have this massive TV to my left and over this sideĀ Ā 

You have what Anna says is the most comfortableĀ  couch that she’s been sitting on while up thereĀ Ā  last night when we got here watched some NetflixĀ  and like it’s it’s super wide and comfy I thinkĀ Ā 

It actually turns into a sofa bed but can weĀ  buy that at home we have this big table hereĀ Ā  that of course we have turned into an editingĀ  SL workstation but also works as a dining roomĀ Ā 

Table and this is maybe the best part is whereĀ  all this amazing light is coming from you haveĀ Ā  these huge windows that are also doors so youĀ  can slide them open look out at the pool it’sĀ Ā 

Really really nice and get some fresh air let’sĀ  talk about internet for a second we’re just doingĀ Ā  a speed test and we’re getting almost 100 downĀ  and 42 up you guys might remember from the lastĀ Ā 

Time we were here one of our biggest complaintsĀ  was that we had a really hard time finding goodĀ Ā  internet and lanus no idea why cuz it obviouslyĀ  does exist this is definitely the best internetĀ Ā 

We’ve had anywhere I think we probably stayed atĀ  like 5 six seven places so far and maybe two hadĀ Ā  good internet so this is definitely a perk allĀ  right onward we go go with the tour here there’sĀ Ā 

Actually three bedrooms in this place so I’m goingĀ  to show you the first two that are on this levelĀ Ā  this is one of them you can see the nice colorsĀ  there’s actually two different uh beds so if youĀ Ā 

Have kids yeah this room is going to do the trickĀ  there’s actually AC in every single room if youĀ Ā  happen to be wondering here’s one of the uh one ofĀ  the bathrooms I’ll try to squeeze you guys in itĀ Ā 

Is quite big it’s just hard to do with the cameraĀ  but you can see it’s got everything in need vanityĀ Ā  toilet walk-in shower if I go this way we go intoĀ  another room right now this is where we’re set upĀ Ā 

Uh so yeah this room also has some of those sameĀ  colors queen siiz bed and lots of light coming inĀ Ā  here that’s one of our favorite perks and justĀ  off this room is another bathroom so I’ll walkĀ Ā 

You guys in here you have the vanity and ofĀ  course you have a toilet and another walk-inĀ Ā  shower so lots and lots of space all right let’sĀ  take you guys uh upstairs that’s right there’s anĀ Ā 

Upstairs or do we just call it a Pento it is likeĀ  the Peno of the Peno well this room is beautifulĀ Ā  maybe we should have taken this one but it’d beĀ  perfect if you had a couple a couple of couplesĀ Ā 

Coming and you each get kind of a main room uhĀ  you do have another TV up here you also have aĀ Ā  mini fridge they put a mini fridge up here cuz youĀ  know it’s a long walk downstairs so that’s veryĀ Ā 

Very convenient and then you have a clean siizĀ  bed over here where you can just lounge and enjoyĀ Ā  the view which we’ll show you shortly and then ofĀ  course there is another bathroom yeah I love thatĀ Ā 

There’s bathroom in every single room and all themĀ  have they do all them have showers yeah all rightĀ Ā  so here’s uh one of the biggest perks of this roomĀ  and the whole condo is you have this outdoor spaceĀ Ā 

And it is massive take a look at how big thisĀ  patio is this is a giant living space it’s likeĀ Ā  a whole other room you have a gorgeous couch backĀ  there another table I can’t get over this there’sĀ Ā 

Another table there’s actually a barbecue upĀ  here so you can have like a full dinner upĀ Ā  here and there’s a sink over on the other side soĀ  you could potentially like cook up here that’s soĀ Ā 

Cool and of course you see the pool from up hereĀ  it’s got these gorgeous patio lights I love itĀ Ā  if you know anything about Los Tanis it is knownĀ  for not just its beautiful absolutely beautifulĀ Ā  beaches and scenery it’s actually known for someĀ  amazing accommodations just like this and this whyĀ Ā 

We wanted to show you this place today yeah andĀ  literally the probably the number one thing peopleĀ Ā  contact us about is to get recommendations forĀ  places to stay so we’ve showed Lots in previousĀ Ā  videos this one of course we are putting a linkĀ  in the description below if you want to book thisĀ Ā 

Uh yourself just right below in the descriptionĀ  you’ll find it if you guys do want to book we’llĀ Ā  put the link down there but this isn’t it thisĀ  place that we’re in right now there’s more toĀ Ā

Talked about uh this place feeling a little like aĀ  resort and this is part of the reason why huh yeahĀ Ā  there’s actually a restaurant as you walk towardsĀ  the beach we’re almost at the beach there’s a fullĀ Ā 

Restaurant there’s a pool have everything hereĀ  yeah we’re going to take you guys in and showĀ Ā  you now but this specifically looks like a LobbyĀ  or reception area for totally does so yeah theyĀ Ā  really tried to make this like Resort living orĀ  vacation living the lobby is gorgeous outsideĀ Ā 

There is a bar and right now I’m at the main poolĀ  and we found out yesterday that this is like theĀ Ā  shared pool area just look at the size of thisĀ  thing yeah so if you didn’t like the other poolĀ Ā 

Or you want to come down here you have options youĀ  have cool options you can come to the restaurantĀ Ā  you can actually order delivery as well from theĀ  restaurant if you wanted to stay at your own unitĀ Ā 

It’s pretty cool yeah that’s that’s the biggestĀ  perk the unit we’re staying in like all of thisĀ Ā  comes included not the food cost money in theĀ  restaurant itself but you can come down and useĀ Ā  these chairs use this amazing pool behind us andĀ  this way is the absolutely gorgeous play BonitaĀ Ā 

Beach and you have access to that right fromĀ  this complex we mentioned the weather earlierĀ Ā  in the video uh it’s not the best day to kind ofĀ  show this place off it’s a little gray we promiseĀ Ā 

When it’s a beautiful day it’s even more BonitaĀ  we’re on play a Bonita after I know it is BonitaĀ Ā  here it’s not a lie does this not look like we’reĀ  standing in a golf course we’re not I promise weĀ Ā 

Don’t have any irons in her hand she doesn’t haveĀ  a putter we’re actually walking down to the beachĀ Ā  here and uh just kind of show you guys what it’sĀ  like so believe it or not these beach chairs areĀ Ā 

Actually part of the complex as well so if youĀ  have a choice of pools or you can come down toĀ Ā  the beach and Lounge here also see some likeĀ  kayaks thf boards back there as well yeah theyĀ Ā 

Must be for rental now one of the things there’sĀ  no one out there today but surfing is a prettyĀ Ā  big deal here in P Bonita so panita is actuallyĀ  one of our favorite beaches in Las varanas whichĀ Ā 

Says a lot because the beaches here are amazingĀ  some of the best in the country but the thingĀ Ā  about this beach is that this end is very veryĀ  wavy and therefore there’s lots of Surfing butĀ Ā 

When you get down to pun banita which is about aĀ  10-minute walk in the other direction gets reallyĀ Ā  really calm so you kind of have a choice yeah IĀ  actually think today is a little bit uh rough outĀ Ā 

There a little bit too wishy-washy that’s whyĀ  we’re not see any Surfers yeah well this wholeĀ Ā  complex just feels absolutely uh massive you canĀ  see the buildings behind me here as I’m walkingĀ Ā  and we’ve been now walking for well at leastĀ  a couple minutes and it’s and it’s back hereĀ Ā 

On the beach I mean the Sand’s still beautifulĀ  even in the weather it is you can definitely goĀ Ā  for a nice walk on this beach today even when it’sĀ  not gorgeous Oak yeah the thing is once you startĀ Ā 

Going this way and I’ll show you guys where we’reĀ  walking it’s gorgeous up this side of Playita theĀ Ā  water really starts to get like calm and it’s likeĀ  more of a lagoon now if you want to see what thisĀ Ā 

Place looks like when it’s like turquoise and blueĀ  sky make sure to go to that video I’ll link to itĀ Ā  maybe so you can see it because it’s absolutelyĀ  stunning so other than it being a little calmerĀ Ā 

Down here you actually get to see this there’sĀ  like a river running into the ocean now when it’sĀ Ā  sunny out I know we keep talking about that theĀ  river color would be a different color than theĀ Ā  turquoise water here right now it kind of looksĀ  like it meshes together there’s also someone outĀ Ā 

There swimming I just noticed that now someone’sĀ  out there some brave soul it’s a little calmer onĀ Ā  the Cove here but yeah this is the kind of thingĀ  this is why you come to Lost Tanis if you everĀ Ā 

Wonder what it’s like well this is it as you startĀ  walking along FIA Bene here you’re going to comeĀ Ā  across a lot of private properties nice gorgeousĀ  Villas also quite a few restaurants yeah like lookĀ Ā 

At this restaurant behind you no one’s add it atĀ  the moment it’s so quiet today yeah and if youĀ Ā  guys are wondering the beach is kind of rightĀ  here so there’s this kind of like path I guessĀ Ā 

A groom path which is one of the perks about whenĀ  really nice another cool spot here we got a littleĀ Ā  uh tiki bar right on the beach that’s pry prettyĀ  cool I know this has a very interesting vibe toĀ Ā 

It a lot different than the main Town iita kindĀ  of like the Chic BG Vibe thing going on it is IĀ Ā  mean look for starters you have surfboards hereĀ  just stating the surf School big old swing andĀ Ā 

If I zoom in this way you’re going to see kindĀ  of like a little school bus kind of food area ahĀ Ā  you guys it’s official I just missed this place soĀ  much we’ve been talking about Las Terrenas now forĀ Ā 

A while absolutely missed it this be a good spotĀ  to get a massage though they’re getting massagesĀ Ā  on the beach I know this is a perfect day tooĀ  for a massage sometimes it’s going to soundĀ Ā 

Really really spoiled but you’re like on the beachĀ  enjoying the day and it’s like maybe I don’t wantĀ Ā  to take the time away from my beach time to get aĀ  massage but today I see so you’re saying if it wasĀ Ā 

Sunny out maybe they wouldn’t be be there yeah orĀ  I wouldn’t be there well I’ll tell you what we’reĀ Ā  doing it wrong either way we’re the ones walkingĀ  around and filming and working today we should beĀ Ā 

Right there there was two tables I don’t knowĀ  if you noticed I did I did all right it’s timeĀ Ā  to get something something to eat and we have comeĀ  over to a very cute place called Beluga one thingĀ Ā 

You need to know about lost duris is that you areĀ  not going to go hungry there are so many amazingĀ Ā  restaurants here we’re actually really excited toĀ  be back to try some of our old favorites and findĀ Ā 

Some new places as well we’ve actually never eatenĀ  here before and of course over here in FIA BonitaĀ Ā  it’s no different there are loads of restaurantsĀ  to choose from so you don’t need to worry aboutĀ Ā 

Staying over in this area and not being able toĀ  find some place to eat there’s lots of placesĀ Ā  here along the beach what uh what do you got toĀ  drink over there I got myself a frozen lemonadeĀ Ā 

Yeah that looks pretty good mhm get a reportĀ  nice and tart but it’s nice and cold very goodĀ Ā  yeah I also went for one of these uh lemonadesĀ  but it’s not the Frozen version I guess it’sĀ Ā 

Just the stir version the regular version so theĀ  food has arrived and I think maybe our eyes areĀ Ā  a little bit bigger than our stomachs but we willĀ  see we only went for appetizers so we thought itĀ Ā 

Wouldn’t be that big but anyway we will see howĀ  we do it all looks really good so we went forĀ Ā  some chicken croates over here we have some cheeseĀ  and vegetable empanadas and then over here it saidĀ Ā 

Chicken Taquito but they look more like chickenĀ  or no sorry beef not chicken tacos I just cut openĀ Ā  this empanada and it looks a little bit differentĀ  than I expected it to it’s almost like a freshĀ Ā 

Cheese on the inside like a feta or somethingĀ  similar I’m going to try it with o the sauce first it’s a little bit like crunchy on theĀ  outside and soft on the middle just the wayĀ Ā 

An empanada should be the cheese is really goodĀ  it’s nice and simple the whole thing I’d say isĀ Ā  relatively simple and I do want to try itĀ  actually with the sauce just to see whatĀ Ā  that’s like yeah it’s all about that sauceĀ  it really adds another dimension to it it’sĀ Ā 

Almost like a tartar sauce nice and tangy allĀ  right let’s cut into one of these um CroquettesĀ Ā  this is a poo croquet maybe you can see the uhĀ  inside there I love the texture of croquet it’sĀ Ā 

One of my favorite things to eat down here inĀ  the Dr now for this one I’m going to try it inĀ Ā  this sauce down here uh this is like got kindĀ  of a red well I guess almost like an orangeĀ Ā 

Sauce I just smothered it oh my god listen toĀ  the rain coming in behind me we we so made itĀ Ā  in here just in time yeah this is right upĀ  my alley croats are amazing and so much funĀ Ā 

To eat there’s like a crispy uh coating like aĀ  crispy I don’t want to call it a skin but like aĀ Ā  batter on there of course the chicken itself inĀ  the croquet and so delicious and then this kindĀ Ā 

Of mayoi ketchup I think is the best h words IĀ  can come up with there’s nothing super specialĀ Ā  about it but because it’s kind of like basicĀ  ingredients it just works last but not leastĀ Ā 

Let’s try this Taco look at the cheese on the topĀ  it’s like melted into it almost like they put itĀ Ā  over a fire or something and it kind of singedĀ  to the top of it which makes it really really

Enticing yeah fresh ingredients nice soft shellĀ  the meat is really good and I love the cheese onĀ Ā  the top add a little crunch from the veggiesĀ  the only thing I would add to this maybe aĀ Ā 

Little hot sauce well into town we go we justĀ  hopped in the car and right now we’re drivingĀ Ā  driving through the streets of the main part ofĀ  Los tanus uh gets a little loud around here atĀ Ā 

Times doesn’t it it does and there can be a lotĀ  of traffic it wasn’t too bad today but one thingĀ Ā  to know about the layout of the land here is thatĀ  really to get into town there’s one Road in andĀ Ā 

Run Road out so it can get pretty congested youĀ  need to be a little bit Brave in order to driveĀ Ā  especially during High season you know it’s notĀ  High season yet but it can get pretty crazy ifĀ Ā  I’m being honest completely honest and you’reĀ  watching this video and you’re trying to findĀ Ā 

Like any flaws in Los tanas it’s the traffic theĀ  traffic most people that live here would agreeĀ Ā  the traffic can be a huge huge challenge but oneĀ  thing to know if you’re going to be driving in theĀ Ā 

Dominican Republic at all it’s definitely not forĀ  the faint of heart you need to be brave you needĀ Ā  to be aggressive you need to basically have yourĀ  head twirling around at all times basically andĀ Ā  looking both ways the Moto conchos like tendĀ  to go around you you need to be looking overĀ Ā 

Them and other cars that might be passing youĀ  or driving on the wrong side of the road justĀ Ā  need to be very aware while you’re driving butĀ  one thing we do like about driving here in LasĀ Ā 

Varanas is the options so you can go by a fourĀ  four-wheeler and like the what are those thingsĀ Ā  called the buggies I guess buggies I guess orĀ  like an at or UTV UTV yeah they’re really funĀ Ā  and also people drive around a golf cart so IĀ  love that there different options just allowedĀ Ā 

To do it actually there’s a golf cart comingĀ  now what’s funny about this is also scootersĀ Ā  too so you can see what’s happening but it justĀ  downpour so right now the road’s kind of quietĀ Ā  but people are coming back out on the bikes yeahĀ  we’re catching rainbows now that’s the kind of dayĀ Ā 

It’s been in the Las tanas this weather is stillĀ  doesn’t make any sense to us it’s pouring rainĀ Ā  then the Sun comes out uh it’s been a weird weekĀ  for all of you guys that were here during kind ofĀ Ā 

Like mid to late December you probably know whatĀ  I’m saying but yeah it’s been a little wishy-washyĀ Ā  it’s hard to do anything cuz you think oh it’sĀ  nice out and then you run outside and then itĀ Ā 

Starts pouring on you so it’ses it hard to planĀ  anything and we like to show off the beaches tooĀ Ā  back to what to expect though the thing is thisĀ  isn’t normal usually like last time we were hereĀ Ā 

About 2 years ago we got one week like this whereĀ  it’s mostly gray usually the weather does thatĀ Ā  typical Caribbean thing where it might rain for 15Ā  minutes and then the sun’s out that includes hereĀ Ā 

That’s what Las Tanis is usually like yeah but byĀ  the time you guys are watching this hopefully IĀ Ā  mean it’s going to be high season by the time thisĀ  comes out and hopefully that means the weather isĀ Ā 

Going to be gorgeous tell us when you’re watchingĀ  if the weather is good that day well the plan wasĀ Ā  to go to uh happy hour at one of these places onĀ  the beach how cool are these our feet are in theĀ Ā 

Sand there’s not a ton of them it’s not quite likeĀ  cabarete where we live but uh we still love it theĀ Ā  thing is we tried to get like a a Presidente lightĀ  that’s our beer of choice when we’re here it’sĀ Ā 

A Dominican beer and they didn’t have any so weĀ  went back to the good old we call them DominicanĀ Ā  Coronas even even though they’re not DominicanĀ  at all but happy hour is definitely something weĀ Ā  can touch on what like what to expect yeah there’sĀ  definitely not many happy hours here at least notĀ Ā 

That we’ve discovered there’s a place called etnoĀ  that’s right in town that has a good happy hourĀ Ā  other than that we haven’t really found anythingĀ  just a few uh now if anyone lives here or hasĀ Ā 

Been here leave uh some comments below because weĀ  can’t we can’t find the good places for happy hourĀ Ā  we’re we’re spoiled by cabarete where we live CUĀ  every place on the beach has happy hour like everyĀ Ā 

Single day yeah so everything here costs doubleĀ  if you’re coming over for a happy hour but that’sĀ Ā  what you’re into maybe you don’t drink alcoholĀ  at all and it’s not something you’re interestedĀ Ā  in but I know a lot of you watching are going toĀ  be very curious about that so we haven’t foundĀ Ā 

A ton of them but hey it’s just still awesome theĀ  prices aren’t too bad I’m sure didn’t look at theĀ Ā  price for this but I’m sure it’s not going to beĀ  it’s probably about 300 pesos if I had to guessĀ Ā 

Probably so you know five six bucks on the beachĀ  hey I’ll take it the other thing we should talkĀ Ā  about though is the big one mosquitoes I knowĀ  everybody always asks us how are the mosquitoesĀ Ā 

So so far we’ve been here a couple of days andĀ  I haven’t had too many bites but this morning IĀ Ā  made the mistake of saying I haven’t had too manyĀ  bites and I got a few got a few so um I rememberĀ Ā 

When we posted a video we compared like L pamisĀ  versus gracias so that’ll happen sometimes too umĀ Ā  sometimes there are kids that come up and tryĀ  to sell you things but back to the mosquitoesĀ Ā  what’s that raceless they’re yeah yeah they lookĀ  really nice and as you can see you just say noĀ Ā 

Graas but back to the mosquitoes uh when we made aĀ  video on cabarete versus here just to compare theĀ Ā  differences that little segment on mosquitoes wasĀ  one of the most viewed of the whole entire videoĀ Ā  so clearly you guys care about this in generalĀ  there seems to be more mosquitoes and lrus atĀ Ā 

Least to our part of the Dr but there’s a lot notĀ  here I mean it in general yeah I’ve actually beenĀ Ā  surprised this time that there haven’t been tooĀ  many because it’s been raining so much but maybeĀ Ā 

It’s like after it stops raining is when they’llĀ  come out yeah they probably will now if you’reĀ Ā  wondering what to use for like spray or somethingĀ  I I’ll tell you the only thing that works for usĀ Ā 

Is this kind of this is not sponsored by off inĀ  deepwoods at all but honestly this is like ourĀ Ā  cologne or her perfume we wear it daily yeah and IĀ  know probably some people will leave some commentsĀ Ā 

Saying that DEET is really bad for you which itĀ  is but so was dangay the last thing you might beĀ Ā  wondering about is is it busy here and for anyoneĀ  that’s been here before you’re probably lookingĀ Ā 

At this video going like there’s not many peopleĀ  around at all and so far we found that’s the caseĀ Ā  in cabarete now everyone says High season startsĀ  around the middle of December and it’s past thatĀ Ā  now uh I would say technically we’re into HighĀ  season but I don’t think High season mid DecemberĀ Ā 

Is just like a blank it’s just a date to me itĀ  seems right around Christmas is when things getĀ Ā  going and I know some people says like mid AprilĀ  that’s when it’s over but I feel like it’s likeĀ Ā 

The end of March but it’s drastically differentĀ  huh yeah so last time we were here was like theĀ Ā  very very I guess end of the pandemic a lot ofĀ  people were coming to the Dominican RepublicĀ Ā 

At the time because it was easy to get into andĀ  people were starting to travel again uh and weĀ Ā  were here between like January and March I thinkĀ  something that we spent quite a quite a bit ofĀ Ā 

Time here and it was really really busy maybe it’sĀ  going to be the same way this year we ran into aĀ Ā  few few of you guys on the beach that watch ourĀ  channel uh thank you for saying hi and to almostĀ Ā 

Everyone we just said like this is the emptiestĀ  we’ve ever seen L tanus it’s uh it’s pretty wildĀ Ā  but I know we’ll get busier in High season likeĀ  we said the traffic is a little much and justĀ Ā 

Expect more people also if you’re thinking aboutĀ  renting a place don’t leave it last minute thingsĀ Ā  always book up yeah so true so true even now it’sĀ  like we’re coming back we expect more videos hereĀ Ā 

In a few months and it’s already hard to findĀ  a place yeah we’re having a hard time but uh weĀ Ā  hope you enjoyed the video today about kind ofĀ  what to expect if you’re going to travel hereĀ Ā 

We tried to think of everything that we thinkĀ  of when we’re traveling uh if there’s you haveĀ Ā  any additional questions leave a comment belowĀ  for some reason if you don’t know who we areĀ Ā  it’s Trevor and Anna delightful Travelers hitĀ  subscribe and all that stuff to follow along onĀ Ā 

The adventures if you’re not new thanks for comingĀ  back again also if you do have more questions ourĀ Ā  plan is to do one more video while we’re here inĀ  laranas if the weather cooperates we don’t wantĀ Ā 

To go film a video in pouring pouring rain but ifĀ  we can get out into weather like this that’d beĀ Ā  totally okay we’ll see so we’ll sit here uh on aĀ  little well non-happy hour spot finish uper beerĀ Ā 

Hope it doesn’t rain and maybe see you in theĀ  next video back here in Las Terrenas hopefullyĀ Ā  all right guys that’s it from Las TerrenasĀ  wishing you delightful travels see you soon

  1. Hey Trevor, l do drink beers in the DR often and l found that Bohemia beer is actually a better beer than Corona and Presidente. This is why tons of Canadians drink Bohemia in the DR so much.

  2. Great video guys! We are heading to Cabarete in a few weeks so quite excited. Las Terrenas next year we hope. Safe travels guys. Cheers!!

  3. Just a question? My hubby and I are really interested in visiting this area mostly due to your videos.. what airport do you fly into? And what transportation do you use to get from airport to destination. When we go we usually go all inclusive and transport is always included but we think we would like to venture out of the norm.

  4. Canadians here currently wintering in Texas, South Padre Island but considering a winter in DR. We've been but only to a couple all inclusive in Punta Cana. Love the beaches and the people so strongly considering for Winter 2025, thanks for the wonderful videos

  5. Thanks guys for showing us that beautiful place, I have been to Portillo but not las Terrenas, another choice next time I visit.

  6. Hey anna and Trevor, you guys passed through my hometown on the way there its called el ranchito in the la vega providence. I wish I was there to invite you to my house but I came back to USA a week ago sorry. I hope you having a good time in Las terrenas thanks for your videos.

  7. I hope this time you take my advice ā€”
    1- cap el limon at Moron beach šŸļø limon town ā€” at the gate say – restaurantā€” to
    Get access in ā€”

    2- el Porto restaurant las terrenas ā¤a nice drive to ( el calbito restaurant would be nice ā€”

  8. Hi guys. I was there just last Sunday and love it more; seeing so many people from all over the world living nice and quiet with the locals is priceless, cosmopolitan. I love Las Terrenas!

  9. I spend my winter in Las Terrenas. Definitely lots of rain throughout November and December. Weather is better now in January. Love it here and wish I had seen you around town

  10. Typical, Iā€™ve just left Las Terrenas after about 10 days here. Fabulous beach and waters. My only problem was that everywhere was so loud, the Dominicans love to have sound blasting out everywhere taking the baffles out of their exhausts. Overall loved the place. Shame I missed you guys šŸ˜˜

  12. Hey Guys! You manage to stay at my favorite property in Playa Bonita (Las Terrenas even) Actually, I stayed in one of those same penthouse. Too bad you went with such as bad weather. In better times, that beach is a beautiful lagoon. Amazing! ā¤

  13. I notice you driving with one hand at 12 o'clock and would recommend to not do that but with both hands on your wheel as I've observed so many people get into accidents due this driving style! Driving in the RD is like here in the Philippines, there are rules, but people either don't know or ignore them!

  14. Iā€™m living in LT for the winter. I saw you guys on the Maricon in December. Thereā€™s happy hours down towards Punto Popi. Weather has been great in January. And no sargassum. Enjoy!

  15. It was so fun to run into both of you that day! We love LT so much that we are heading back to the same resort in a few weeks! Hopefully it stopped raining by now LOL

  16. About two weeks ago I booked an apartment in that same residence (Los Cocos) for the summer. I absolutely loved Playa Bonita in the 90s, there was only one hotel (Atlantis). It was my favorite beach back then. Havenā€˜t returned to LT in more than 24 years ā€¦ really looking forward. ā¤

  17. Hello, love love your videos but I have a question and maybe you already have answers it before but just wondering. How do you pay for hotels, excursions, food? Do you use ATMs, take your cash or do wire transfers?
    Just wondering what to do when we go out there.

  18. Great video! We are staying at the Residences in March and so looking forward to it! In fact we almost booked the very apartment you're in!
    Great info given…we were there over new years week (stayed at La Madrugada).
    Looking forward to a week directly in the beach.
    In a future video it would be helpful to show grocery shopping if you can! Our trip to Sirena market on Dec 30 was certainly interesting to say the least (traffic!!!). People always want to know prices for things.
    Thanks again and maybe we will see you on the beach in March!

  19. Love the vibeā€¦but that busy traffic would amp up my anxiety šŸ˜…. Thanks for the helpful tips when visiting this ā€˜secret paradiseā€™ šŸ˜Š!

  20. I love Las Terrenas.
    I recommend you visit El Salto Del LimĆ³n half hour from Las terrenas, also beautifull Playa Coson where you can taste a delicious fresh fish šŸŸ make a la leƱa in the fomuos Restaurant Luis.

  21. Wow nice video guys. Is it easy to travel by public transport from Las Terrenas to Cabarete?
