Hi I am going to Santo Domingo next month staying at the Melia Santo domingo Hotel. Ive been told by many people leave all valuables at home. I know there is theft everyone you go but please tell me how true is this????? Should I leave my good jewelry, sneakers etc... home? I know this sounds crazy but I trust this forum. Also I heard that when I go I should plan on having sex can you give me info on this, I control myself right???? I know the Dominican men love the gringas haha!
