We're taking our first trip to DR in a few weeks. Can someone tell me if the electrical in the rooms are 110v or 220v?

220v or 110v in rooms
110 is the standard, although some hotel rooms may also have a 220 socket to accommodate Europeans.
Although the standard is 110 a lot of the plugs will not take our polarized plugs( the ones that have one wider prong). they only take the older type .I found this out to my regret on my last visit in Sept. to the Riu Resorts in Punta Cana. Even of you don't need the voltage convertor you just might need the adaptor plug that is usually labelled for S.America and Caribbean. Hope this helps.

Definitely bring the 110 three prong to two prong adaptor. I hate having to break off the ground prong. http://www.medretreat.com/templates/UserFiles/Images/ThreeProngAdapter.bmp
you are both right,
the converter from 3 to 2 should be brought, but can also be purchased in the shops at the resorts just in case. many resorts use what you call the 'older version' where you would need to take off the ground plung.
have fun
