Planning a trip to the Dominican Republic? ✈️ Before you book that flight or pack your bags, there are some very important things you should know — and most people don’t find out until they’re already here 😅
In this video, we break down 10 essential things to know before visiting the DR, especially if it’s your first time or you’re used to resort-style vacations. From airports and paperwork to money, safety, SIM cards, and everyday life — this is the stuff that actually matters.
Whether you’re coming for a resort vacation, a longer stay, or you’re curious about what the real Dominican Republic is like, this guide will help you arrive prepared (and relaxed).
In this video, we cover:
1️⃣ Airports: Where You Fly Matters
2️⃣ E-Ticket + Proof of Exit
3️⃣ Travel Insurance Is Not Optional
4️⃣ SIM Cards & eSIMs
5️⃣ Cash vs Credit Cards
6️⃣ Transportation: How You Actually Get Around
7️⃣ Safety: What to Worry About (and What Not To)
8️⃣ Language & Communication Basics
9️⃣ Power, Water & Everyday Differences
🔟 Expectations vs Reality (Resort vs Real DR)
This video is based on our real experience living and traveling in the Dominican Republic, not just quick vacations.
