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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?
