The high season has started in the Paradise Republic and with this publication we will try to briefly answer the most common questions about the Dominican Republic.

Dominican Republic: photoshop or reality?

Even 4 years ago, when I put photos of paradise beaches on the screensaver of my laptop and phone, I treated them as nothing more than beautiful pictures. And when I first flew to the Dominican Republic, I fell in love with it at first sight. And only here I realized that water in nature really comes in such an unusually bright color. And there are places in the world that don’t need Instagram filters.

Therefore, to answer the most important question for tourists: is it true? Dominican Republic so fabulously beautiful? I can confidently answer – it’s true! Moreover, this country is divided into several resorts, the nature of each of which is strikingly different from each other.

The Dominican Republic is the comfort and beauty of the beaches of the Maldives, the lush tropics of Bali, the soaring rocks of Thailand, the whirlpool nightlife Las Vegas... This pink flamingos, giant starfish, beaches from Bounty advertising and that same heavenly pleasure that every tourist dreams of.

Weather in the Dominican Republic

Local residents, who are mostly Catholic believers, say: when God created the Earth, he created the Dominican Republic for himself.

The season in this country lasts all year round. The air temperature in summer is on average +28+30 C, in winter +26+30 C. At night the temperature does not drop below 22 C.

And the water temperature is either equal to the air temperature (in summer) or just a couple of degrees lower (in winter).

However, the best vacation is considered to be in Dominican Republic from mid-autumn to April. These months are called high season. And all because in other popular resorts, such as Cote d'Azur France, Spain, Türkiye, Bulgaria - for traditional beach holiday It's getting cool.

Therefore, the country harmoniously combines unique natural and historical attractions - the Columbus Palace and Lighthouse, impregnable fortresses of its time, the first cathedrals and temples...

The famous seeker of the fountain of youth, Juan Ponce de Leon, lived in the Dominican Republic and even ruled one of the provinces. And this is a real person, not a fictional character.

But still, the majority of tourists come precisely for beautiful nature and there are more than enough amazing objects here!

There are many “record holders” in the paradise republic. For example, here is located highest point Antilles island, mountain – Peak Duarte, height 3098 m.

And also the highest waterfall in the Caribbean - 210 meters.

The famous mountain with a winged swing at the top is.

Are you planning a holiday in the Dominican Republic? Our guide will help you prepare for your trip and have the most comfortable holiday possible! So, TOP-60 tips for tourists!

Planning a trip

It’s better to plan your trip in advance: firstly early booking- it's always beneficial. Secondly, you will have more time to study all the nuances and choose the right resort and hotel
If you are traveling for less than a month, it is more profitable to take a trip from a tour operator, which includes flights, hotel and insurance. If you plan to stay in the Dominican Republic for longer long term- you can look for housing to rent for several months and then buy air tickets separately.
The best time to visit the Dominican Republic is from October to May. During the winter months the island is not as humid and hot as in the summer. But prices for tours are also more expensive, especially during the New Year holidays. In the summer, you can also have a great vacation in the Dominican Republic, and at good prices.
If you are attracted by the Atlantic coast, choose the resorts of Punta Cana, Bavaro, Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete. If you want to relax on the Caribbean Sea, the resorts of Boca Chica, Juan Dolio or La Romana are suitable for you.
Most Dominican hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis and have excellent service. But before making a choice, we advise you to study reviews on different sites about food, entertainment and the beach.
Russians do not need a visa to enter the Dominican Republic. Today you can stay in the country visa-free for 3 months. But these rules change all the time, so check the latest information before traveling with the Dominican Consulate in Moscow.

What to take with you to the Dominican Republic?

The national currency in the Dominican Republic is the Dominican Peso. However, dollars are also in use throughout the country. It is best to exchange dollars in advance, before your trip. Do not change money at the airport under any circumstances - the rates there are the most unfavorable. It is much more profitable to do this at a local bank or exchange office. Don’t take euros and rubles - you won’t need them here, and exchanging them will be difficult and unprofitable.
Take the necessary medications with you: antiseptics, antivirals, something for colds and stomach upsets, painkillers. Bug spray and sunburn treatment will also come in handy.
Do not take electrical appliances such as a hair dryer or razor with you. In the Dominican Republic, the voltage in sockets is not 220, but only 110 volts, so be prepared for the fact that your gadgets will charge more slowly than usual, and some devices will not work correctly at all.
In most cases, in Dominican Republic you will find the American type of outlets. You can purchase the adapter on the spot, so you don’t have to buy it in advance.
In the Dominican Republic they speak Spanish, but they hardly speak English. Therefore, before your trip, it would be a good idea to learn a few common phrases in Spanish, and also take a dictionary with you (preferably as an application on your phone, so as not to take up space in your luggage).

Flight

Moscow time is 7 hours ahead of Dominican time. It is better to prepare your body in advance for changing time zones. To do this, try to get up and go to bed a little later than usual a few days before your trip.
If you are flying in the cold season, take light clothing in your hand luggage so that you don’t have to sweat in warm sweaters upon arrival and find yourself in the humid tropical heat.
Take movies, books, and guidebooks with you on the plane to pass the time on the road - a direct flight from Moscow lasts 12 hours.
If you are flying with small children, do not forget about entertainment for them. We advise you to choose night flights - most likely the child will oversleep most ways.
Drink on the plane more water and avoid alcohol and energy drinks - to keep your body fresh and rested.
You will also need a pen on board the plane to fill out the migration card. It is usually given out by flight attendants so that you don’t waste time filling it out at the airport, and they are happy to answer questions.
No tourist fees are charged either upon arrival at the Dominican Republic airport or upon departure back.
To save time and not have to go around all the hotels on a group transfer, you can take a taxi at the airport or order an individual transfer on our website.

On a rest

Most likely, you will not need the local currency (pesos) - dollars are accepted almost everywhere. But in stores they can give you change in national currency. Also, stock up on pesos if you drive around the country - roads in the Dominican Republic are toll roads and payment is accepted in pesos.
Most hotels in the Dominican Republic provide safes. We advise you not to neglect this.
Visiting a la carte restaurants located on hotel premises is most often included in the all-inclusive system, but access to the restaurant is only possible by appointment.
As for tips, 10% of the bill is welcome in restaurants, and 1-2 dollars for maids and porters.
Some hotels ask you to adhere to a dress code in restaurants: keep in mind that you may simply not be allowed to dinner if you wear swimsuits and shorts.
When going to a local restaurant, be careful: sometimes an 18% tax is added to the check amount, so it’s better to ask in advance whether the tax is included or not.
Not all hotels have accessible and free internet. To stay in touch, we recommend buying a SIM card from one of the local operators - Orange or Claro, which provide Internet access on good terms.

Drink only bottled water. Tap water is not suitable for drinking. Always carry a bottle of water with you - in hot climates this will help keep you cool and avoid dehydration.
Wash your hands thoroughly before eating. It is better to wash vegetables and fruits with soap.
Be sure to use sunscreen, even if there are clouds in the sky - the Dominican sun is very active. We recommend purchasing products with a protection factor of at least 30 SPF, and for the face and sensitive skin, 80 or even 100 SPF is better.
Domestic fumigators will not save you from local mosquitoes - it is better to take products in the form of a spray or lotion.
Don’t be afraid to go outside the hotel, even if the hotel tells you that it is very dangerous: take this information critically.
Follow basic safety rules: do not carry large sums of money with you, do not wear jewelry, hide expensive equipment from view. Well, tourist areas in dark time It’s better not to leave for 24 hours, especially alone.
In order not to attract the attention of thieves, it is better not to show off the hotel bracelet that is put on your hand upon check-in. when going for a walk, wear a light jacket that disguises the bracelet: this way there is less chance that you will be mistaken for a tourist.
Be wary of compatriots who ask you to send something to Russia - they often send drugs under the guise of a parcel, taking advantage of the gullibility of tourists. In the event of exposure at the airport, all criminal liability falls on the unsuspecting carrier.
At the market, fruit stalls - you can safely bargain. But in shops and supermarkets there are fixed prices.

Excursions, travel in the Dominican Republic

Do not rush to buy excursions immediately upon arrival - hotel prices are often greatly inflated. Study all offers, prices and make a choice.
