Is it true that the Dominican Republic is a great cheap place for a single man?

if you mean for prostitutes, they are fairly overt in the tourist towns lke SosÃºa and many small hotels are inexpensive.

I'm going to assume you mean to vacation? Yes it can be..depending on what your interests are and where you will stay etc.. can't really give you any more information unless you specify what you're asking :) If you mean to live..then I'll have a completely different response.

Very very good. I am not a single man I am a single female BUT the place is fantastic.

The Dominican Republic is the cheapest place to go in the Caribbean and once there everything is cheap (some haggling will have to be done though).

Different places in DR (like everywhere in the world) are better for different things.

Puerto Plata is huge with plenty of shops, bars, excursions and some of the best beaches/resorts in the DR. Its a great place.

Boca chica is very quiet, ok for bars and nightlife but nothing great and seems to be ALOT of prostitution going on here.

Sosua is very nice, small but nice. Some good night life but nowhere near as wild as Puerto Plata. It is great though however for water sports and stuff.

message me if u want to know the best places for you specifically (i'll need to know what ur looking for etc though). I have been to the DR LOTS of times.

The answer to your question is 100% YES. It is a great place and I have lived here for 10 years. You also don't need to put 17,000 dollars
in a bank account to get resident status. That just isn't true. Most of the people I have met here couldn't come up with that much money if their life depended upon it.

Go to Sosua, look at Casa Cayena, Hotel Europa or if there are two of you check out EL Neptuno Condos. El Neptuno has the best location and it is a great place to stay. High season is only 600 a week for a 2bed/2bath Lux condo which is only 300 bux a person if there are two of you.

Have fun!

If you mean going there to LIVE there.. then you DO KNOW that you have to POST A CASH BOND OF $17,000 in any D.R. bank in order to get resident alien status....you DO KNOW THAT... right?

If you are wondering if the DR is the Thailand of the Caribbean, then yes. It also has a high HIV rate like Thailand.

But it's cheap for regular tourism as well. I lived there for nine months and it is a great place in many ways and only about a five hour flight from Newark. Some guys would come down for the weekend from NYC. I recommend the North Coast since the other tourist areas are over They are coming along fast and there are ATMs and internet cafes everywhere. You do have to be a bit careful and use common sense esp in the discos with pick pockets but that applies to any tourist area in the world pretty much.

Google Sosua to find out more. Most hotels are under $50/night and a budget of $100/day will cover hotel, food and beer easily.

The summer is dead for tourism and the high season is from about November until May.
