Dominican Republic best water experience? Going to the DR with my girlfriends in March and staying in Las Terrenas after a few days visiting a small town off the beaten path.

Dominican Republic travel scam? Am staying at a villa in Punta Cana and our travel host messaged us to say that we damaged the golf carts that came with our rental.

I overstayed my visa in the Dominican Republic. Will this impact future travel to the rest of the world? I’m a US citizen by birth, my parents are from the Dominican Republic, as such a have birthright to Dominican citizenship.
