50+ Scams to Avoid in Dominican Republic Vacation and DR Living tips
In this documentary, I interview a number of Tourists and Expats in the Sosua Cabarete area of the Dominican Republic in regards to what scams they wish to warn others about.
To be a victim of a scam completely sours the visitor's view about his/her vacation in DR or expat life, in an otherwise beautiful country with the culture and many good people. With modern communication, the bad experiences get spread quickly around the planet, something every country should take seriously if they wish to grow a healthy economy.
So by ensuring that all scammers are out-smartened by the visitors, then the money will hopefully stay or go to where it should.
In this video, you'll learn tips about avoiding becoming a scam victim to Dom Rep Immigration, police, beach hustlers, beggars, companions, tour guides to realtors, constructors, lawyers, hospitals, accidents, credit cards, taxi transportation and more...
Have a smart, safe, and fun vacation! Brgds Mr.T

STORYTIME: Scammed by a prostitute in Dominican Republic! It was a set up! | Solo female traveler
(The guy who I hung out with was not the same guy who sold me the excursion ticket FYI)... What happens in Dominican Republic stays in Dominican Republic! No! I'm telling! They was plottin, schemin and scammin! Lol. So let me tell yall what happened! Smh
(I had no idea the woman was a prostitute. I never heard from or saw the guy again who I purchased the excursion from who linked the woman and I up. A different man who hosted the excursion showed up at my hotel later that evening to hang out... This is just an experience that I decided to share and doesn't represent the country as a whole, just as if one person of a particular race does something deemed negative, it does not represent every person of that race. )
Someone commented for me to stay out of DR and that they run from American women who look and act like me. That sounds racist if you ask me. Anyways, I didn't do anything wrong and I normally don't hang out with people at all, especially if I do not know them. This was a rare occasion for me and a lesson learned. If he thinks that I'm the type to get over on people, wrong. I am a very independent woman and take care of my own. I didn't ask to be treated to anything at the club, but once I felt that something was expected of me and I felt uncomfortable, I had to leave. ???? I don't represent anyone else in America, but if you want to stereotype, that's your ignorance.
10 Things Not to Do in Dominican Republic
Get more Tips here!
We've already told you about some awesome things to do in the Dominican Republic, but what about the things NOT to do there? To stop you receiving Chiclets from a Colmado, or making off with a Sanky Panky you’ll want to hear our list of 10 things not to do in the Dominican Republic!
1) Don't Forget to Relax
The Dominican Republic has an easy-going rhythm of life accentuated by the sea. This is the perfect place to kick back and relax. So if you have a hectic day-to-day life and you want to hit pause for awhile, you’ve come to the right place. Or you could just soldier on with your daily slog and stay at home. Sure.
2) Don't Trust a Sanky Panky
You'll find them on the beach or at resorts. These hunky, adorable men may look just perfect. But beware! They'll try to conquer your heart, just to get a marriage visa to your native country, marry you, then abandon you. So, be wary of these Sanky Pankys.
3) Don't Expect to Ride Alone
You can always fit one more person into a bus or public taxi. So if you and your 3 friends are happily travelling to your destination in a taxi cab, don’t be surprised if the driver suddenly stops to pick up another person! Sharing a ride is a very normal thing here.
4) Don't Forget About Music
The African and African-Cuban influence is deeply present in the local dance cultrure, with merengue being the dominant beat, typically played by a three-person band. There are festivals throughout the year, and international merengue celebrations that attract music lovers from all over the world.
5) Don't Forget to Bring Change
A colmado is primarily a local convenience store. However, they don't usually have too much change. So if you buy something with a big note, and they don't have enough money to give you your change, they'll try to pay you nine chiclets or anything of a similar price. So unless you want to fill your wallet with chewing gum sweets, bring some loose change!
6) Don't be Precise!
Here, if you say chin once, that means a little bit, but if you say chin-chin then it means a tiny bit. Unless you say un poquito which is kind of a bit. So forget trying to be accurate!
7) Don't Forget to Haggle!
In Dominican Republic, they love bargaining. They expect you to negotiate down to the last cent. But be wise, don't wear expensive jewelry if you want to get a cheap offer, and if you see something you like don’t rush in and try to purchase it straight away. Look round and compare.
8) Don't Forget the Golden Rule!
We don’t get tired of repeating that when travelling, you don’t always know where your food has come from. So always remember these three rules: Cook it, Peel it, or Forget it! And you'll enjoy a trip with no unfortunate mishaps...
9) Don't Forget to Try Alcanfor
While the rest of us might use camphor to keep our clothes moth free, Dominicans go one step further. Alcanfor is a plant that they use for medicinal purposes to treat arthritis, asthma, back-ache, bronchitis, flatulence, headache and many other conditions. Some even pop some in the pot when cooking sweet dishes.
10) Don't Stop Being Cautious
Due to political unrest, unstable economy and high unemployment, there is an important level of crime lurking in the Dominican society. You should take great care with your valuables at all times. Tourists are often conned into various compromising situations.
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

The COST OF LIVING in Santo Domingo and Boca Chica Beach, Dominican Republic
What is the cost of living in the Santo Domingo and Boca Chica Beach, Dominican Republic? What can $20 dollars get you in the Dominican Republic? The cost of living is on the rise, but it's still cheaper than living in the United States.
The Dominican Republic is known for its white-sand beaches and warm Caribbean waters. While visiting Santo Domingo the capital of Dominican Republic I set out to explore and to find out how far would $20 USD take me while touring the island. The Dominican Republic has always been a hotspot for tourists from all around the world, because of the cost of living and the friendliness of the Dominican people.

What's the cost of living in the Dominican Republic? There are a number of things you have to account for, including the electricity bill. Our cheapest bill was around $6 USD! I'll let you see how much Gary and I paid for our light bill with a company called Ede Este, which is related to CDEEE, EdeSur, and EdeNorte (from our understanding). You can search online to get a better understanding of these companies.

Safety tips for visiting the Dominican Republic.
10 Awesome Things To Do in the Dominican Republic
Get more Tips here!
The Dominican Republic can be a gorgeous getaway for travelers of every stripe. Of course, as with any foreign travel, it’s important to do your homework before you get on the plane. Here’s how to make the most of it.
1. Check Out Historical Santo Domingo
You should think about taking a day to explore Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the Americas. Several day-long tours will take you to all the most exciting sites in this historical city. There’s plenty to experience in Santo Domingo.
2. Don’t Drink the Water
Play it safe. The drinking water in the Dominican Republic is mostly unclean, so you should avoid drinking any water that doesn’t come directly from a sealed bottle. Stay hydrated, but spring for the bottled stuff.
3. Take it Easy on the Coconut
If you want to avoid hugging the toilet for one of your days, you might want to take it easy on the coconut-themed drinks. While delicious, coconuts also act as a laxative. Exercise a little bit of caution.
4. Visit Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve
Several hotels in the area offer free access to the reserve, which means you can enjoy some of the most pristine natural offerings the Dominican Republic has to offer.
5. Stroll Through the National Botanical Garden
It’s easy to lose yourself among this gorgeously curated selection of greenery that’s filled with carefully chosen plants and birds. Learn about the botany of the Dominican Republic, even as you enjoy the aesthetic beauty that abounds.
6. Visit the Alcazar de Colon at Night
This imposing Spanish castle was built by the son of Christopher Columbus in 1510. It’s especially breathtaking at night. And thanks to the abundance of se-curity personnel around the palace, you don’t need to be concerned about safety when the sun goes down.
7. Take a Dip at Hoyo Azul
This Punta Cana destination will surprise you at every turn. Hoyo Azul is a la-goon plopped at the bottom of a 65-meter-high cliff. Swimming is open to visi-tors, so be sure to spend a little time dipping your toe in Hoyo Azul’s turquois water.
8. Take a Tour With Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures
Whether you check out a sunset or you merely hit the water for a maritime ex-cursion, this company is renowned for its service from tourists of all shapes and sizes. Whether you take a larger 20-person trip or you opt for something semi-private, you won’t be disappointed.
9. Think Twice About Water Sports
The Dominican Republic doesn’t have the same exacting standards of safety as the United States. So travel insurance is never a wrong decision. You can still find some great options in the DR to get your watersports fix, just make sure to double check before you sign up.
10. Go to the Hard Rock Casino
You can get a respite from the sun at the Hard Rock Casino in Punta Cana. The 45,000-square-foot casino is a little slice of Vegas smack dab in the middle of paradise. The staff is friendly, the tables are immaculate, and there’s plenty of fun to be had. There’s no Hard Rock Cafe, though …
The Sea is Dangerous, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, January 2018
Never turn you back on the sea The ocean can be dangerous so just a word to the wise. While there is virtually no tide as one gets close to the Equator, an errant wave can come out of nowhere.
