What to Expect Travelling to Las Terrenas in 2022 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic Travel + Crazy Beach Villa
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video we're talking about what to expect if you're visiting Las Terrenas, Samana, The Dominican Republic in 2022.
We go through a whole bunch of topics, from empty beaches, to how to get here (airports), to restaurant service and language.
We start the video in Playa Coson, a beach we'd never visited before. We explore the empty beach where we hardly see any other people. We also stop for lunch at a place Called Restaurant Luis for an awesome Dominican meal.
Later we head back to the villa that we're staying in Las Terrenas. The area is well known for having amazing villas but this is the first one we've stayed at.
Book the Villa here: / casa-del-mar-en-playa-...

The villa is just a one minute walk to an amazing beach, has 3+ Bedrooms and comes with a cook/cleaner!

It's official ... we love Las Terrenas! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching everyone! Hit that like button and Subscribe for more 👍 You can watch our full Dominican Republic Series here 👉 bit.ly/2ZYgPEG Stay Delightful! ✌- Anna & Trevor
Anna & Trevor I have been following you for some time now , love your videos. Would like to know if there is a safe it the places you rent from. Thinking of retiring in Las terrrenas or cabaret thx katie.
@@katiefirth8066 Hey there.... all of the places we stay are are very safe!
As Venezuelan/Canadian, we love it too, been in Dominican 8 times , last time in Las terrenas/samana, nature wise is amazing, feels like home, weather, food and specially the people
Hey I’m god after you meet me while in Dominican Republic all you have to do is get ready to smoke a blunt with me hint 🔯🔯✝️🇺🇸🇩🇴🕎🚬🪐 🇩🇴🇩🇴
I am looking at our first all inclusive in mexico and you are making me think maybe we need DR. It's stunning.
You honestly can't go wrong with either country. Just make sure you find a day to go off the resort 😀 - Trevor
Maybe a possibility, there is a cheap and cheerful AI in Cabarete called Viva Wyndham Tangerine. Food is ok but best thing is its proximity to all the great beach restaurants in town. We eat off resort all the time! And because the resort is less expensive than most in Mexico, we have the budget to eat out and do excursions in the area. Lots to see! We love Cabarete.
@@deelee4317 🇩🇴♥️
I'm watching some of your older videos and it makes me miss my home of 7 years in Puerto Plata. Sigh... By the way, the combo meal rice and beans and chicken and salad is called La Bandera, which means flag. That meal is basically the staple of the country :)
We've eating that staple dish in one of our food videos here in the DR. Check it out! - Trevor
Hi Anna & Trevor. My wife and I have been to Las Terrenas twice and we absolutely love it. Beaches are breathtaking, people are amazing and the weather spectacular. We have found our sanctuary. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for watching Nicolas 🤗 - Anna
Me again! Watching your video in NS when you stayed in the Yurt and were rum tasting. It reminded me to suggest to you to ask for a Santo Libre. It's basically a version of the rum & Coke (Cuba Libre), but instead of Coke, they put Sprite or Ginger Ale! Super delish and refreshing!
Thanks for the tip! 🤗 - Anna
You guys don’t cease to amaze me, so happy that you are discovering all the wonders of my paradise Island and most importantly you are sharing all that wonder with all of us who are not there to enjoy as well. Just know that soon is Easter time and the beaches will probably fill up. Maybe that would be a good time for you guys to go to Jarabacoa and discover the mountains 😃… sending you guys lots of love, blessings and abundance to you always. 🙏🏼🍀💕☮️
Yup, they are gonna hate Las Terrenas on Easter xdd
We heard that Easter can get a little crazy yeah 😅 We don't know our exact plans for those days yet but we'll have to figure something out soon. So appreciate you watching 🤗 - Anna
@@yquejeto1323 We already left LT 🤗
@@DelightfulTravellers woooo , where are u guys going Now ?
That was a quick decision 😳 😅
@@marcelaguzman6625 haha stay tuned 😉
Thanks to you we are now coming to Dominican and trying something besides in All inclusive very excited 😊
Woohoo... we so luv hearing that. Where will you go? - Anna
We are thinking of punta Cana Do you know of any good beach front condos that you may recommend
My beautiful country❤️😍💕💙
We love it here! - Anna
Wow what a gorgeous traditional home in DR you guys got. You always make me hungry for my Dominican 🇩🇴 food while watching from Canada 🇨🇦 😋. I know want to visit that house in Las Terrenas. Loved it. 😍
Definitely stay at the house here if you can. It's so worth it! - Trevor
Can't stop watching your videos... you guys make me so proud of my beautiful DR!! Have you guys ever wondered of writing a book about DR or Cabarette or Las Terrenas? You guys already have enough material....just saying... Continue enjoying, love watching you guys. You guys are such ambassadors!! thought this was an old video but realized it was just posted.... Keep up the great work.
That’s a great idea but we could never find the time to write a book! We’re so busy with videos as it is 😀 - Trevor
After our house is completed, we plan on visiting 👍
My husband just brought up the idea of moving to DR. I told him absolutely NOT! But after watching y’all’s videos it’s looking more and more appealing 😂
man when i heard the crickets that took me back to when i was little and used to visit my grandparents in samana 😭
Such a great evening sound isn't it? 🤗 - Anna
Most mandates have been removed in Ontario, Canada by this point and hospitalizations seem to slightly be creeping up but the number of ICU patients is slowly declining - we’ll see what happens 🤞🏽. There have been some really good questions in addition to helpful information that I wouldn’t have thought of about what to expect when visiting Las Terrenas. Another great video!
It's nice to see things slowly going back to normal. Finally... fingers crossed indeed! - Anna
Thank you, Anna and Trevor. Great villa, the architect interpreted masterly the vernacular countryside homes of DR; the version of Its humble beginnings is disappearing. Now, without any doubt the protagonist is nature, the beach, the mouth of the river, the foliage, a tableau of nature. Blessings.
We're glad you enjoyed the video Louis 😀 - Trevor
Really need to be kinder to yourselves. Slumming it in all of these shacks and shanties. 😉😝 I want the place @1:59! 😍 Thanks for another great video. I hit Santo Domingo on Thursday and then Cabarete a few days after that. Looking forward to a bright and upbeat April! 🌅
Those houses were soooo nice. We also want one haha - Trevor
I've been Las Terrenas twice, my favorite place for vacation, thank you guys for your videos, I don't miss any of them, I'm your #1 fan, your faithful follower, I hope when I come back to have the opportunity to meet you in person, you're wonderful ☺️
Thank you Marcos 😀 🤙 - Trevor
Almost 100k. So happy for you guys!
So close now... still hard to believe 🥳 - Anna
That looks like paradise 😀☀️🌊Next time I come to Dominican Republic I would love to try this place.. let’s dream..😃👍🙋🏻♀️💜
Put it high on your list Dany! 😀 - Trevor
Could you kindly explain for the viewers the route taken to allow for a long term stay in regards to visas etc? Your information would really help others to become explorers like yourself. Keep up the fab videos.
lovely, nice vlog, thanks for the tour :-)
Hi guys, nice video. Love Coson beach and one of my favorite Luis’s restaurant, even thought the wait for the food, love it because is secluded, nothing around it just coconuts tree and the beach, I’m glad that you are enjoying your stay in Las Terrenas, my wife and I will be there in a couple of months as well as in Cabarete. Thank you again for all the beautiful things and videos from DR. ❤️
Cheers Francisco... we appreciate you watching and leaving a comment 👍 - Trevor

🤗
Almost 💯K Subs let’s go Hi Anna and Trevor Howdy 🤠 thanks for sharing your videos 👍👍👍🙏✌️🙌👋👈
so so close now Pia! - Trevor
I love watching your guys videos. We are seriously looking at going there next winter, travelling from Halifax. We think we will stay at least one, possibly two months.
Two months here in Las Terrenas is pure paradise. That's the perfect amount of time 😀 - Trevor
That Villa is fantastic and the landscaping in incredible. And the location is wonderful.
It's a pretty great villa right Megan? We still can't get over it 😀 - Trevor
Sitting watching this at YHZ waiting to board flight to DR! Thanks for all the great info. LT looks like a must for a future visit. Nice spectacles!
Nice! What part of the DR are you visiting? 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellersJust boarded bus at Punta Cana airport headed to resort! First trip since Covid!! Woot woot!
Hey guys, that Villa is beautiful! The beach and waves are my thing. You both look so good. But of course, look where you are. :)
Thank you so much Arlene 🤗 We hope you're doing great - Trevor
The villa looks absolutely delightful you delightful people 🥰 Roll on 100k. Almost there and very well deserved.
Thanks so much Sue 😊 - Anna
WOW! You guys have stayed at some amazing places, but I think this might be my favorite so far! Personal Chef YES!!! Funny; as a child/teenager, for many years we vacationed in Longboat Key Fla at The Casa DelMar! Great video guys!!! ~Cara 😊
Yeah that was a first for us and not going to lie... we felt super spoiled 🙈 - Trevor
Another excellent place you are staying at with the beautiful beach. Sad to hear that your guests didn't arrive, hopefully you will have some more visitors latter perhaps.
Thanks Rosie 🤗 It's too bad about our guests but there will always be another time - Anna
I congratulate you for your excelents videos , and your contribution to foment that persons know and visit the differents and beatiful places of Dominican Republic. ¡¡¡YOU ARE FANTASTIC PERSONS..THANKS!!!!
🥰 Awe thank you Ruben. We so appreciate your comment - Anna
randomly found this place on reddit, and its next on my travel list
Huge snowstorm here today and I must admit I'm a little jealous of your spectacular location. FANTASTIC video, thank you Anna & Trevor. xoxo
Hopefully that snow melts quickly for you 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers
I hope so too! Hard to believe the glorious Spring weather we had, buds on the trees and now this snow today and tomorrow. (Yuck!)
Thank you for this video! I will be there with my husband (who's Dominican) at the end of April 2022 :)
Have fun!
Almost 100k!
😬
Such a beautiful place. Love beach restaurants. Don’t think you will have the urge to return home any time soon. Thanks for sharing.😎
No plans yet to return home Eleanor 🤗 It's way too much fun here - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Agreed, plus it’s still too darn cold here.
“Pointing, smiling, & apps”
-Trevor
Lol. You just described my last two weeks there! 😂
Haha that’s been the last 6 months for us 😂- Anna
Such a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing this video. Btw, have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.
Great video as always guys…. You still missing CAYO LEVANTADO IN SAMANA and JUAN DOLIO and BAYAHIBE in the east coast. Many blessings.
Some of those are on the list... we decided to skip Cayo Levantado though. Maybe next time - Anna
Fantastic villa!!
🤗
We loved it! - Anna
FYI- it will get CRAAAZY for Easter. The crowds will be wild and loud. Starting Apr 13 to Apr 17.
haha yes we hear that. We'll have to find a place to hide out 🙈 - Anna
said it before, so nice to see you guys enjoying the area and your travels; brings a big smile to my face!! just booked my tickets to Greece for September; taking my youngest son with me...very excited! can't wait to see more!!
Nice! Which part of Greece are you going to Taki? 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers my son has never been, so we will spend a few days in Athens, then take some day trips; not sure yet; and of course go see the family! May go to Thessaloniki for a couple days...
@@taki2003 we so hope to get back to Greece this year 🤞
@@DelightfulTravellers well let me know if you get there around the 2nd or 3rd week of September!
Hi Anna and Trevor! We're home in the states now. So depressed to be home. Was great to talk to you both!!
Was great to talk with you as well Helen - Anna
Good morning Anna & Trevor, with so many stunning beaches in LT, how does one ever choose a favourite?! Having said that... Playa Coson looks absolutely AMAZING!!! The villa is wonderful too, great place for large groups, and oh so close to the beach. Q & A: As tourists we're told not to drink the water in DR, so do restaurants use bottled water for drinks/cooking/ice cubes? We've only ever stayed in All Inclusives while in the DR but that's changing in 2023. My husband Craig and I love beach bars/restaurants and are wondering during your experience if you guys have had any issues? Thanks again for such great content guys, always looking forward to the next video. Have an awesome day! 🌞🏖🌴🍹
Thanks Val.. we don't get to go back in the kitchens so we can't quite say how they cook with water. At any good restaurant though you will be fine... don't worry about that. We just don't drink the tap water nor do we use it for brushing our teeth. It feels like the norm for us now 🤗 - Anna
We loved Playa Coson. So quiet.
It felt like our own private 'huge' beach 😉
Perfect glasses
😎
Make a video of my place in Las terrenas, u guys are amazing. I have a condo apt in monserrate 2
Very good video. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you are in Las Terrenas in a few weeks. Easter weekend is called "semana santa" and las terrenas turns into a super packed spring break environment. The whole island goes on vacation for 4 days and it seems like everyone goes there. If you are still in Las terrenas during that weekend I think you'll be very surprised by what you see. Keep the videos coming. Congrats on getting to 100k
Thank you for the tip Julio 😀 We won't be there then but that sounds like A LOT of people - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers I personally like Las Terrenas with less people the way it is now that you are there. It's really crazy for a few days, not my cup of tea.
Great video
I hope TH-cam sends you all the money and the algorithm works in your favor
🤗
As usual, a deeeeeelightful tour of those amazingly gorgeous beaches and that very nice villa! (Love the rivers at the beach!) I was wondering -- since you two like your tiny homes and spaces so much, do places like this villa seem too much for you or do you settle right in? I know you said you were expecting additional people for this particularly spectacular vacation space so this place might not have even been in the cards otherwise.
We so would have liked if our friends made it of course but having this whole place to ourselves was great as well. We settled in nicely 🥰 - Anna
LOL Yeah, I guess I could tell you seemed comfy in all that space -- and with the cooking persona! It all looked splendid!
Another great video. We fly in to Samana with Air Transat direct from Toronto, but it is a seasonal flight. Once per week right now. Last flight back to toronto this year is April 30.
Great information I will be coming from Toronto also but probably not untill November what transportation did you use to get from the airport to las Terranes thank you
@@johna5428 we are going to Cabarete after LT and flying home from Puerto Plata. We are using a company based out of Cabarete for all our transfers. He arranged the LT portion for us. EduarTaxi Cabarete.
Noted! When do those flights from TO start? Do you know - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers they usually run from beginning of November until end of April. Transat flies out of Montreal as well.
A and I forgot to congratulate you on that tasty meal boiled potatoes with stewed chicken 🍗🍲🥔
By the way you are just 300 subscribers away from 💯K … yay 🎉🥳🎊
Eek! So close 😬 - Trevor
Good morning from Toronto
Hello TO! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers we will be in Puerto Plata on Thursday!! Thanks for all your videos, they made up or mind to go to the Dominican Republic.
Another great presentation. Looks like a beautiful place. Just read that very negative comment about your alleged rudeness. Couldn’t believe it. Like someone else commented, they must have confused you with someone else. Don’t let it get you down..
that is just a 5 min. walk up the beach from the Bahia El Portillo, we stayed there in 2018 and 2019
Is paradise until Easter when all beach coast become mayhem. Don’t be surprise on that week
You're not the first person to tell us that haha.. sounds like we're staying in on Easter 🙈 - Anna
If you want to escape the crowds, think heading to a big city like Santo Domingo or Santiago during Easter week. It will most likely be much quieter than anywhere along the coast.
Beautiful please.Dominican food is the best is always fresh
Thanks for watching! - Anna
We Usually eat Dinner around 5:30 6 Pm everyday Monday through Sunday
Hi again, Another great video
I would like to know the price of that villa for a week stay.
The link is in the description of the video 👍 - Trevor
Gorgeous 😍 😍 😍 😍
😍
What is the bug situation right now at las Terrenas and that villa? I don't do well with mosquitos.
Did you go to playa (frontón) las galeras ????
Also playa hermitaño las terrenas ? Boat is needed to get there ..
I am coming Wednesday to las torrenas. Will you still be there. Can u recommend who I could rent a condo or villa from ? I was doing to do an all inclusive but I want to do different know. I am a fellow 🇨🇦. Ontario. Will you still be there ?
Sorry typo going to do all inclusive lol…. But now I would like to tend a condo as I am looking to possibly buy.
We won't be there but we put the links to the places we stay in the description area of every video - Anna
My husband and I are thinking of retiring in the Las Terrenas area. We will be in Samana in May to check things out. Any advice you can think of? Anything you think we must see for the 2 weeks we are there
Thank you
Hi Angela... all of our recommendations are in our videos 🤗 Have so much fun in LT - Anna
Restrictions have been lifted in Halifax, Nova. Scotia as of March 21, 2022. 😻🇨🇦
Got to luv that! 😀 - Trevor
I'm happy about howvu feel in ly country. Your husban is dominican?.
Usually eat at 7 here. Question: Is that porch screened in or are there just no bugs this time of year?
No the porch isn't and there's quite a few bugs around. But that's all of the DR really - Anna
99.9k 🤯
How much is rent there approximately fir 1 bedroom
I noticed you haven’t brought up security. Can you speak on that. Every country has issues but it be nice to know what places to avoid.
Do you mean safety or security guards? There is security in most complexes and we have had absolutely zero issues in terms of safety in the country here - Trevor
Have you guys come across any issues bringing the drone around? any licensing/paperwork issues to be aware of?
Zero issues 👍
How much did the meal cost?
Cool place . the stabilisation on your camera is very bad when you walk , the image is very wobbly . maybe shot it off or use a gimbal if you can . but grate job
Glad you like the video Martin 😀 You might be the first person of many many comments to say that about the camera though. We're not fans of gimbals at all - Trevor
How many times will you talk about Las Terranes?
When do you guys expect to start travelling again?
We are travelling around the DR - Trevor
Hello from Vancouver Island! So Spoiled! 👍 👍 Almost $400/night. Are the bugs pesky everywhere and are you concerned about malaria? Hubby and I usually eat dinner between 5:30-6 . Take care!
The bugs can be bad yes but not concerned about Malaria at all. Why you eating so early though?!? 😉 - Trevor
Hubby is starving after his work day. 😝 Do you eat this late as well when you are back home in Halifax?
🇩🇴🙏🏻
👍🙂🙋👏
💟👍👍👍
😀
Please go back to DR
