W<\/span>e know what kind of traveler you are.\u00a0You bring the same appetite to\u00a0street food as you\u2019d bring to an upscale restaurant. You\u2019d rather find your way to the beach (or museum, shop, restaurant, etc.)<\/em>\u00a0yourself<\/span> than go with a tour. You\u2019ll take a local\u2019s advice over a guidebook<\/a>\u2019s every time. Bottom line: You embrace local flavor. You want to travel like a local. And you\u2019ve picked the right place.<\/p>\n

The Dominican Republic<\/strong> offers some of the friendliest people, best food, most beautiful beaches, widest\u00a0choice of accommodations and the diverse range of activities in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

When to go?<\/span>\u00a0There are no bad times. June through December, roughly, is hurricane season, and some resorts close in October. But assuming no hurricanes, temperatures are steady, rooms are discounted and crowds are smaller.<\/p>\n

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

S<\/span>anto Domingo on the southern coast will likely see frequent, brief rain that may continue into October. And days can get breezy. But temperatures are balmy. May and June<\/a> will see partly cloudy days with an occasional afternoon shower.<\/p>\n

Mid-December through February<\/strong> and the week before Easter constitute the high season, meaning higher prices and bigger beach crowds.<\/p>\n

Note that water sports are prohibited throughout the country during the week before Easter. You\u2019ll find accommodations in virtually every price range and category, from all-inclusive resorts and\u00a0the Dominican Republic villas<\/a> to hostels\u00a0and budget hotels.<\/p>\n

In the budget range<\/span>, you can get by on about US$60 per person per day, including a hotel room or hostel for one person, meals, and transportation via local motorcycle taxis (motoconchos)<\/em> and minibusses (guaguas)<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>

In the mid-range,<\/span>\u00a0figure an average daily cost of US$110-$150, including first class bus transportation between cities and entertainment including guided tours. The local currency<\/a> is the Dominican Republic peso, so don\u2019t forget your currency conversion calculator. And don\u2019t be alarmed at the 28% service charge typically tacked onto your restaurant bill; it includes a 10% tip (though you can add more).<\/em><\/p>\n

By the same token, hotels build in a service charge, although a couple of U.S. dollars per night for housekeeping will always be appreciated. Most resorts have beaches. But in a country noted for its beaches, you can do a lot better with a bit of traveling. The calmest waters are those on the south side.<\/p>\n

Specifically, Boca Chica is a gorgeous, white sand beach just a few miles east of Santo Domingo.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n
