Visas

You may need a tourist visa depending on your origin to travel to the Dominican Republic. For stays of less than 30 days, citizens of certain countries don’t need a visa or tourist card. However, many residents of countries such as the USA, UK and Australia require a tourist card.

Learn Spanish

Spanish is the Dominican Republic’s native language. Knowing a few words of Spanish can make it easier to navigate. People who work with tourists at many of the most popular tourist destinations in the world are familiar with English and can communicate easily.

You shouldn’t expect everyone to understand you. However, learning basic phrases like “Hola” and “Muchas Gracias” can help improve your vacation.

Official Currency

The Dominican Republic accepts US dollars, but you will often get better deals if you use the local currency (Dominican Pesos). Don’t worry if you have another currency. There are ATMs and currency exchange offices in every resort.

Explore the Local Beaches

The Dominican Republic’s tropical landscapes are the first thing that you see when you look at any photograph. Beautiful beaches are a part of this island so take your time and explore them all.

Playa de Arena Gorda and Ubero Alto as well as Cabo Engano, Cabo Engano, Cabo Cortecito and Cabo Engano are all part of the Punta Cana beaches. They are known for their stunning landscapes with lots of white sand and transparent turquoise water, as well their large palm trees. It is a great place to relax and spend amazing days.

Use sunscreen

The Dominican Republic is known for its hot weather year-round. You don’t want to ruin your vacation with too much sun. To get a beautiful tan, but not burnt, it is important to follow the proper precautions.

Use a sunscreen with high SPF and apply it multiple times. When you are out in the sun, make sure to wear a hat and sunglasses.

Enjoy the Food

We want to see everything new when we travel. We recommend that you explore the Dominican Republic’s cuisine and have a taste. You cannot miss the fried bananas, yuca, tropical fruit, seafood, and many other products.

It is important to not overdo it. Also, keep in mind that your body may not be used to certain foods so it is best to eat them slowly. Enjoy them!

Keep hydrated

It is easy to get dehydrated in the Dominican Republic’s hot and humid climate. You should also be cautious about drinking alcohol as it can dehydrate you.

Important to note that water from the tap must be bottled. This is because it can only be used for brushing or cleaning your teeth.

Buy Local Souvenirs

You can find a wide range of souvenirs from the Dominican Republic that you can take home to remember your trip. Learn about products from your country that are difficult to find and how you can get them.

We recommend Dominican coffee, Mamajuana, and Rum. This delicious combination of honey, rum, and wine has been soaked, drained in tree bark, or wine that has been soaked and filtered in tree bark. They will make great memories and we are certain you will love them.

Visit Pearl Beach Club

Enjoy the best of Punta Cana’s exclusive beach club with its fun activities, delicious cocktails, and mouth-watering Mediterranean cuisine in its restaurant. Enjoy the facilities such as the Balinese beds that surround the infinity pool and the large beach with its palm trees.

Relax and chill out

Nothing is ever rushed in the Caribbean. Everything is peaceful and tranquil. Relax and go with the flow.

The resorts at Bayahibe and Punta Cana are great places to unwind and recharge. Make sure to get to know each one and pick your favourite so your first visit to the Dominican Republic will be unforgettable.
