Let me understand this because I must be missing something. You are staying at an all inclusive for two weeks but you don't have enough clothes with you. You will need to do a wash? By the time you bring laundry to an outside laundry mat and pick it up the cost will not be that much cheaper to not just do it at the hotel. Because of the cost of electricity in washing and drying laundry is expensive in the DR. Bite the bullet and do it through the AI.

I second LTSteve. Do it at the resort. What you'll save doing it outside the resort you'll spend on time and transportation. Or do some hand washing in your room worse-case.

Your maid will gladly wash your clothes by hand in your bathroom, and hang them up there to dry.
PS., I tip the maid everyday, instead of waiting until I leave.
Maids change, and you may tip a new one who has done nothing special for you.
Everyday get the next day's work even better!!!!

AND, what do you plan on wearing???
The DR is VERY INFORMAL at the beach, especially in an All DELUSIVE resort!!!
Swim suit, shorts and a ?T? will do just fine!!!!

Like others have indicated - ask the maid to wash for you and give her a tip. She will be most likely happy to do so and you will not have to take time out of your vacation to chase laundry at a local laundry, where you might have to come by several times in order to retrieve all your items.

If I use said service I usually have a few T's, some shirts and undies. DR$ 500 should take care of that easily.

If necessary just repeat the process.
