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
Boca Chica — still the best area in Dominican Republic?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

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