According to Magaly Toribio, the Vice Minister of International Promotion in the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism, the country anticipates a solid 2010 with more than a million visitors expected to visit. And with this steady flow of people going to the island, many select the growing and beautiful coastal town of Juan Dolio as their destination of choice. Quickly becoming one of the hottest spots on the island, for those who want a piece of the paradise for their second home are encouraged to invest there now before it's too late.

Quickly rising up in the Juan Dolio skyline is the stunning Art Deco beachfront condominium Las Olas, which is being developed by one of the country's leading real estate companies Group Metro. The development, which recently received a capital injection of US$35 million, has been extremely successful and is already 70% sold. With construction nearing its halfway point, residents are gearing up to move in by summer 2011.

One resident eagerly awaiting his new home at Las Olas is Franklin Perdomo. "My wife and I can't wait to move in," he states. Describing some of his motivations as to why they purchased an apartment there, he explains "Las Olas features a very attractive condo design which allows you to walk out of the building straight onto the beach. It also offers first class amenities and recreational facilities for the owners."

The beautiful property is a sixteen level condominium that features 227 apartments showcasing open spaces and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Residents are granted exclusive memberships to the nearby Metro Country Club, which features an expansive Clubhouse, the Las Marlins 18-hole golf course, mini golf, tennis courts, swimming pools, restaurants, preferential access to the in-resort Embassy Suites Hotel, and much more.

"Las Olas owners enjoy all privileges and discounts as other Metro Golf and Country Club owners including special green fee rates, access to the Beach Club located right next to Las Olas, and other discounts at restaurants, among others. And it's only 40 minutes away from the City!" adds Perdomo.
