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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
