What do people like (and dislike) about Las Terrenas?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Las Terrenas, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Las Terrenas, often like the beautiful beaches, warm weather, and laid-back atmosphere. They appreciate the affordable cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The friendly and welcoming local community is another aspect that expats and digital nomads enjoy, as it makes it easier to integrate and make new friends. The vibrant culture and delicious local cuisine are also popular among expats and digital nomads, who enjoy exploring the various restaurants and food options available in the town. The availability of outdoor activities, such as surfing, hiking, and snorkeling, is another attractive feature for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. However, there are also some aspects that expats and digital nomads may dislike about living in Las Terrenas. One common complaint is the unreliable infrastructure, particularly when it comes to internet connectivity and power outages. This can be frustrating for digital nomads who rely on a stable internet connection for their work. Another issue is the limited availability of high-quality healthcare facilities in the area. While there are local clinics and pharmacies, more serious medical issues may require a trip to the capital, Santo Domingo, which is several hours away. Some expats and digital nomads may also find the language barrier to be a challenge, as not everyone in the local community speaks English. This can make it difficult to communicate and navigate daily life, especially for those who do not speak Spanish. Lastly, while the laid-back atmosphere is a draw for many, some expats and digital nomads may find the slower pace of life and lack of organization frustrating at times. This can be particularly challenging for those who are used to a more structured and efficient way of life in their home country," said a member in Las Terrenas, the Dominican Republic.
