Hello, I am from British Columbia Canada. I am travelling to Cabarete in 4 days. This is my first trip to DR.
I am travelling with 2 friends. We have in the past year visited Mexico DF and spent a week in Havana. We booked at the Villa Taina in Cabarete.
We are cigar smokers and wonder if we can get real Cuban cigars in the DR? Anyone had any experience with this? We will of course sample some DR cigars but are considering picking up a box of Cohibas in Vancouver just in case?
Should we take USD$ to Cabarete? Will Canadian money be difficult to deal with?
How much English should we expect? I am a novice with Spanish but my friends are illiterate
Anything to watch out for? Ive heard pickpockets are common etc.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
