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
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
