Ah, the Dominican Republic. This wonderful island filled with bustling cities, laid back beach towns, and of course, beaches. Remember, every trip is unique — depending on what you have planned for your trip to the Dominican Republic, you will have different needs. In the capital, people dress pretty modestly. However, women tend to wear tight fitting, bright colored clothes.
Go crazy! You may be planning to do some outdoor excursions, in which case, sturdier shoes may be needed. In addition, as a last resort, you may be able to purchase medications without a prescription at a pharmacy. This should be done ONLY if you know exactly what you need. There you have it! Have I been forgetting some important item?

At one point during my year spent living in Santo Domingo, these bags contained all my possessions in the country this grew each month with the purchase of kitchen items and more!
A lot for a short visit but a good amount for a full year. You will know if it has been added if you see propino incluido or simply servis on the check. Foreign currencies: up to the amounts imported and declared, with a max. Usually, the best compromise is to put the cash in your carry-on, secure it with a TSA-approved lock, and never let it out of your direct line of sight.
While tipping is a discretionary and optional gesture, at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and others, it is certainly encouraged. Include the cost of tips in your travel budget, and just consider them part of your trip. Generally speaking, USD is preferred, so just bring a stack of ones with you for meals, drinks, and housekeeping. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel.

Also good for any vacation workouts you might do. Here are some basic tanks that I recommend. These are for walking around the Colonial Zone or any other city or rural area you may be exploring. Also good for going out for dinners, etc. Two T-shirts — You should always bring short sleeve shirts, even for a hot beach destination that you plan to wear tanks and swimsuits a lot.
Here is a cute knotted option that is more interesting than a basic tee. Your shoulders will get the brunt of the sun, so sometimes you may need to cover up and give them a break. One lightweight hoodie — Pack one very lightweight hooded sweatshirt or sweater. This is great to cover up if you are in air-conditioned restaurants or hotel rooms. One pair of shorts for the beach — Try to make this pair of shorts be double-duty.
Pack a pair that is both appropriate for the beach and for working out. Non-denim is ideal. One pair of shorts for exploring — This should be your denim pair of shorts, or a pair that you would prefer to wear off the beach. I packed denim for around town and cave explorations. Long flowy palazzo style pants — I love this style of long, loose flowy palazzo pants. If you follow me on Instagram , you have probably seen that I wear these types of pants all the time — but they are particularly excellent for beachy and hot, humid destinations.
Two bathing suits — If you plan to spend multiple days at the beach, I highly recommend bringing two swimsuits. That way you can alternate every other day, letting the wet pair have a full day to dry out. Two pairs of leggings — The most comfortable, versatile bottom for any destination. You probably already own these, but Several pairs of basic leggings. These can also double as workout wear.
