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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
