It's beautiful. They have different parts you can go. Where are you planning to go?
Right now, Punta Cana is a popular destination. it's absolutely beautiful there.
Puerto Plata resorts are beautiful too, which is in the north side of the country. I've been there a few times.
They also have resorts in La Romana which is on the east side of the country. Beautiful there too.
You should definitely stay in all-inclusive and the food is usually is pretty good. People are warm and friendly.

I've been there, but not in "good" spots. I was in Santa Domigo, but that was about 11 years ago. Like all cities it has good and bad places.
My sister went a few years ago, and as long as you stay around the resorts it's ok. She went on an excursion a little ways away from the mant part, and she was quite upset about all the poverty down there.

We went to the Club Med in Dominican Republic about 4 or 5 years ago and it was beautiful... there wasn't much outside of the resort though.

I third the vote for Secrets resorts! You should check out Travel. There have been a lot of threads about DR.

Re: Has anyone been to Domincian Republic?

DH and I stayed in La Romana,- which is right next to Casa de Campo where all the rich and movie stars own homes, Punta Cana is way too much like Cancun. We wanted a more romantic type vacation. we stayed at the wyndham dominicas palace. it was BEAUTIFUL- all inclusive and the beach was private and HUGE!
