I'm from the UK! It's very likely I will be making my first trip to The Dominican Republic next year. I plan to meet somebody out there, who'll take me around the island. I just wanted to know:
- When's the best time to travel, (weather/special events e.g public holidays) etc?
- Can US dollars be used freely in all shops, or will I need to consider changing money into RD$? (DOP)
- Roughly how much would I need for a 10-day trip (starting in Punta Cana > La Romana > Santo Domingo > Boca Chica > Samaná)
- Better still, are credit cards widely accepted or not?
- Roughly how much is a taxi from Santo Domingo to Samaná?
I know I might sound green but this seems like a good place to ask all the mundane questions :laugh:
Thank you all in advance!
