Returned from 7 days in Dominican Republic. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.

Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $68/night. Good location, basic amenities.

Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were great value.

Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 9 encounters total.

Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Eating out was very affordable.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 7.5/10. Solid choice, will be back.

Happy to answer any questions.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

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

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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

This matches my experience. Dominican Republic is great value for money.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
