The cost of living in the Dominican Republic
The cost of living in the Dominican Republic
With the arrival of spring, almost every second person begins to dream of beautiful warm seas and distant countries, such as the Maldives, Canary Islands or the Dominican Republic. The latter remains a blue dream for many, although the cost of living in the Dominican Republic is not so high. And the price of the voucher, in addition to the hotel room, also includes air travel, which makes rest inaccessible for many.
Living in paradise
Rest in the Dominican Republic is perceived by many as a paradise life, as it is warm all year round, a lot of light and sun, white sand beaches and azure waves.
Tourists arriving on vacation can choose one of the following accommodation options:
- traditional hotels with a different number of stars on the facade;
- beach cottages for a family or a friendly company;
- exotic bungalows.
The latter allow you to experience all the delights of native life, although they are large enough for 10-15 rooms. Single bungalows are extremely rare.
Life in Santa Domingo
The capital of the Dominican Republic, a bustling and vibrant city, does not actually belong to the resort area, so you should not expect big discounts in hotels here. The average price for a single room in a 5 * hotel is 130-150 dollars, which looks ridiculous in comparison with many similar hotels in Europe.
Hotels in 4 * cost about $ 20 less per night for a single tourist, although you can find a super offer for the cost (up to $ 80). At the same time, some 3 * hotels of the famous Hilton chain may invoice $ 120.
Relax in style «Bounty»
Many people still remember the advertisement of this chocolate bar; the action in the video takes place against the background of bright exotic landscapes, very reminiscent of the Dominican ones. Punta Cana - one of the main resorts of the Dominican Republic - can be proud of just such pictures, in which the main colors will be the gold of the beaches and the azure of the ocean.
It is almost impossible to determine the cost of living at this resort, since tour operators indicate prices for hotels that work according to the system «all inclusive». A suite with a king-size bed at the Hard Rock Hotel (5 *) will cost almost $ 500. Newlyweds will be able to spend an unforgettable honeymoon here, aged couples will return their former romance to the relationship..
At the same resort, you can find more affordable rooms, where everything will be included in the price of the rest. 4 * hotels offer single rooms for $ 120-150, and apartments can be found at a ridiculous price of $ 50 per night.
