What do I need to know before retiring in Cabarete?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cabarete, they said...
"Before retiring in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, expats should know that the cost of living is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it can vary depending on lifestyle choices. They should be aware that the official language is Spanish, so learning the language or having a basic understanding can be beneficial. Healthcare in the Dominican Republic is not as advanced as in some Western countries, so expats may want to consider health insurance that covers medical evacuation. The Dominican Republic has a tropical climate, with warm temperatures year-round, but it is also prone to hurricanes. Expats should also know that the Dominican Republic has a different culture and customs, so it's important to be respectful and open to learning about the local way of life. Safety can be a concern in certain areas, so it's important to research and choose a safe neighborhood. The country has a residency program for retirees with a stable income, but the process can be bureaucratic and time-consuming. The Dominican Republic's infrastructure, including roads and internet service, may not be as reliable as in some Western countries. Finally, expats should be aware that while Cabarete is known for its beautiful beaches and water sports, it also has a vibrant nightlife, which may not be suitable for all retirees," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Cabarete, the Dominican Republic.
