I hope they don’t spoil Bayahibe, which us my favourite place on the south coast. I particularly like the “Park with Water Eyes” whatever that is!

Spoiler alert, the day will arrive where you will not be able to move about freely in the narrow streets of Bayahibe because of heavy traffic and tourist congestion. The access road to the pueblo from the coral highway will have to be widened.
