Visited Dominican Republic for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $68/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.
Is Dominican Republic worth visiting?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $140/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
