Has anyone been to Dominican Republic recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene

I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.

Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.

Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
