Hello all,
I am interested in travelling with 5 of my mates to the DR in June this.
I would just like to know how safe it would be for 5 blokes to stay in Santo Domingo, enjoy the nightlife, drink beer , meet women etc. Would it be safe going out for drinks at night time. I really would like to stay out of the resorts and get to know the real country but I am wary. I have been to Cuba twice and loved it but Cuba is known to be very safe and that is exactly how I found it. I have also heard that Jamaica is very dangerous outside the resorts, especially around kingston. Where does DR and Santo Domingo in particular lie in between these extremes.
Does anyone know of any hotels near the beach that would also be near SD?

Any help or advice you can give me will be much appreciated

Safety factor here in DR is much closer to Cuba than Jamaica. Don't even speak about drugs, much less use them. If you carry yourselves as true British gentlemen, you will have no problems. If all of you get really drunk together & become loud & obnoxious, chances are a fleet footed ladrone could well be waiting round the next corner. If you don't know what a ladrone is, now is a good opportunity to start with the dictionary.
