Hi, I am returning to the DR next week (June 4-10) and haven't been in a while. I lived in Santo Domingo from '97-'99 and was wondering if some of the prices had gone up since that time. I know the peso has inflated quite a bit, so I'm sure things are a bit more "expensive", but I just don't want to be ripped off.
Just to give me an idea, please let me know how much are:
-rides in publicos
-colmado goods like: pan de agua, a refresco, fundita de agua
-a decent bandera meal of arroz, habichuelas, and carne
I can't wait to get back. I'll be spending a few nights in the city and a few on the beach in Punta Cana. I love the DR!
Thanks for any other advice you can offer as well.
Mike
p.s. Are the recent rains and flooding anything I need to be concerned about or prepare for?
