As a dominican born and raised in the island I strongly agree 100% with everything he said!

Tip from a Dominican: if you wanna see the real country, rent a car and go to the south (it’s not as touristy, so you will likely won’t find a lot of people speaking English and you’ll need to carry more cash on you). It’s beautiful, lots of virgin beaches, it’s safer, people are really nice and warm. Also, besides Punta Cana, Las Terrenas is and very underrated.

When in DR or Colombia or other parts of Latin America don't wear jewelry, use an outiside ATM or walk down the street whil texting. Your cellphone. When on public transportation be careful of pick pockets for your cell phone or wallet.

It's been a decade since I visited the D.R. and did notice a bit of uptick in crime from the 90's. That is really no different than in North America during the same period. I did take a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood one time and a kind old Dominican woman warned us to be careful and pointed us in the right direction. Looking forward to returning soon as I always enjoyed my time there, great culture and wonderful people for the most part!

When they say don’t drink the tap water that is a serious don’t. I was sick for a week when I went to DR for the first time. Please the most important warning!!

I was there twice this year already. So wonderful and safe. We walked on several empty beaches at night and were safe. My only issue was with dishonest uber drivers, particularly in Punta Cana. I was scammed in different ways by them multiple times, unfortunately. Other than that, I loved the Dominican Republic! Very safe.

When it comes to Spanish, I actually intentionally travel to places that speak the language I'm learning and want to improve. Since I've been learning English, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese (my mother tongue is Czech), I almost never travel to countries that don't have at least one of these four languages as their official language. Especially Latin America is my absolute favourite. I'm gonna be spending a month in Dominican Republic and a month in Panama this year. It's simply awsome to be able to travel and work on my Spanish all at once.

I had family living in the DR in the 80s so we'd visit often and one thing I remember about driving in the DR was the copious usage of horns. Not so much turn signals, but horns everywhere. All the time. It was definitely an experience! I don't know how my uncle drove around so easily and casually, but then again he grew up there so it was ingrained. Love the country and the people and would love to go back one day.

Bienvenidos to the Dominican Republic Wolters Family! Had we Dominicans known in advance that you were visiting, we would’ve rolled out the special welcome mat for you!

We hope you enjoyed your stay! And I hope they played some good merengue music when you arrived at the airport. I know I would have stopped to dance!
