Atm/Cash
These are definitely the most frequently asked questions.
Q. How much cash should I bring?
A. It is up to you. It depends on how much you want to spend.
Most places do accept Visa/MC/Amex. Since you are traveling outside your home
country, it is recommended to use a credit card rather than a debit card to protect your bank accounts.
Q. Should I do money exchange in the airport?
A. The airport charges a large fee for this. It is up to you. We can assist you with this once you arrive.
Q. Should I use the ATM at the mini market?
A. We would recommend that you stop at a Bank ATM.
Q. How much should I tip at restaurants?
A. Once again, this is up to you. Most restaurants add a 10% "Propina" or "LEY" these are tips. You can match that tip to make your server very happy.
Q. Is there an App for my phone that will help me with the money conversion?
A. Yes, our favoritve App is CurrencyPLUS. It is a free app. Choose DOP for Dominican Pesos.
