Visited Dominican Republic for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $105/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

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

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

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $79/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
