I am looking for local information on the safety situation for americans in the dominican republic. I have heard that you need guards at your house and it is not safe to walk around by yourself. I would like to visit and possibly for a month because of the cheap prices but want to feel safe. How does it compare to say, Mexico? Is their much trouble with Haiti citizens? I don't know much about the island and any problems with it's neighbor. As an example, say I went out for a walk to the store at midnight or a drive around the island with my girlfriend, would I likely have trouble. It's just the security guards that have me a little spooked. I walk around in Mexico just about anywhere and never had a problem. Any information will be greatly appreciated. I want to rent a villa for a month in December, january, or February if anyone knows of a nice place close to the beach for $2500 or less for a 2 bedroom for a month please email me at Pilot921@cs.com.
Thank you all in advance for the help!
