Visited Dominican Republic for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $61/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
