Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April. Pack lightweight clothing, swimwear, sun protection, and insect repellent. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when away from the beach. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Keep valuables secure and avoid isolated areas after dark. US dollars are widely accepted but having some Dominican pesos is useful. Credit cards are accepted in many places but cash is preferred for smaller vendors.
