Cayo Arena Apartments which ADMAT Occupied

With a team of around 15 people, eight of which are not local, accommodation is a logistical challenge. Monte Cristi is a local town with no tourism infrastructure, and limited suitable accommodation. The local power has a habit of going off most of the time and therefore accommodation with generators is a must. Eventually a local apartment complex hotel was found as suitable and the team moved in.. The view was excellent overlooking Monte Cristi Bay
