Visited Dominican Republic for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $131/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
