I was in Las Terrenas (Samaná a couple of weeks ago relaxing. I stayed in the hotel "Las Cayenas". Very recommendable, good service and just the type of hotel you need there (just breakfast). I was with my new Nikon camera and was able to snap a couple of pictures so you all guys can envy me

Enjoy!

How was the construction boom over there? and the roadways? I heard that there is a lot of construction going on by French, Germans, and now Italians. Did you see many foreigners over there?

There's a lot of construction going on, that trend is in the entire DR. I also saw many many foreigners, a tad more than the last time I went there, which was 2 years ago.

About the roads, they're a mess. It would be better if there just wasn't any asphalt. In general, since there is quite a lot of construction going on, there's quite a lot of thrash and debris all over the place. The good thing about Las Terrenas is that you have so many miles of beach, that once you get out of the town all that negative points dissapear.

It's still one of the best places in the DR to go if you want to relax and enjoy the beach without the crowd.
