    Curfew Tightened Considerably

    Guys, please let's be clear, PHARMACIES ARE NOT CLOSING. The only mention is that pharmacy delivery people can be in the street until 11pm. But the pharmacies are opening as normal. My other point is make no mistake this will have a devastating effect on the AI's as well. They have...

    New entry procedures

    No, it is definitely running in Punta Cana as well. The lady I helped arrived there.

    New entry procedures

    Printed copy, much easier. Just print it out and put it with your passport, less to worry about.

    New entry procedures

    Honestly it's much easier with the form. I did it online and didn't have any problems at all (using Chrome on Mac) and the lady said it was much much better - she didn't have to wait anywhere, and didn't need the hassle of filling out forms on an airplane.

    New entry procedures

    The PDF which it produces is what you print. You don't need to scale it, just print the PDF. Obviously they have set the size of the print on the PDF as the size they want to scan. Even if you had the PDF on your phone, I would always print a copy just in case - phones may be stolen or...

    Save the dogs

    They definitely have one in the Zona Colonial. I remember years ago there were packs of dogs, and these days you never see a stray, evidently any strays are taken away and put down humanely.

    You print it out and show them the piece of paper. Simple

    New entry procedures

    Agreed. I found it very easy to do online and my friend said it was wonderful not to have forms to fill in on the plane and to breeze through the airport.

    New entry procedures

    It asks you how many people are travelling in your party and there are certain parts of the form you fill in per person and certain parts per party. It's basically the paper forms online and it prints a barcode at the end.

    Police to get 30% wage increase in January 2021

    If you look at countries that drove corruption out they always started with these steps. First arrest and imprison some politicians then give the police and military a liveable wage. Then start arresting corrupt police. Abinader has the right ideas

    Government has savings of RD$16.2 billion

    RD$ 199 on entertainment and events still seems pretty high in a pandemic when nobody is supposed to be socialising or attending events. I reckon he will be able to get some of these numbers lower. When you see how much Danilo was spending you begin to realise just how corrupt they were.

    All flights from UK about to be banned

    Spain is also shut to UK residents as is the US so I don't think there are any transit options available.

    All flights from UK about to be banned

    https://dominicantoday.com/dr/tourism/2020/12/21/dominican-tourism-minister-asks-to-suspend-uk-flights/ I have no idea what happens to the planeloads of tourists who are already here.

    Experience of an AI resort

    Oh I hadn't realised about the loans. That explains a lot. I must admit that I would always prefer a load of drunk Dominicans to a load of drunk Americans, or Russians, or Brits, so it was quite pleasant. But I can't quite see how Royalton gets back to being a 4 star hotel now that it's...

    Experience of an AI resort

    The hotel between Hard Rock and Royalton looked huge and looked completely closed.

    Experience of an AI resort

    I think we did. I wouldn't expect more for US$66 per head. But if you went expecting a chocolate on your pillow you would be disappointed. They didn't have any shower gel or shampoo in the bathrooms for example just a cheap bar of soap.

    Experience of an AI resort

    We just stayed at the Royalton Splash resort and thought I would give some feedback. The guest profile was about 90% Dominicans so just a small handful of foreigners. They had a big conference on with 250 delegates so it was busy. I got the impression that everyone had paid a very low...

    Getting stuck in the DR

    A friend arrived on the British Airways flight on Thursday to Punta Cana and said there was no Covid testing at all. So I agree
