Travelling to DR for a 7 day solo trip ... Booked 2 restorts ( 4 days + 3 days ) in Punta Cana. Any tips to make my trip amazing and safe ? TC - 0 ( between jobs )
Definitely wear a condom. Don’t wear anything expensive and try not to stand out. Don’t pay the first price they give you.

Lol, Punta cana is basically the all inclusive resorts, how would you not be safe? It most def not a party place though, more so a relax place
Didn’t you read the news last years 8+ Americans died in their high fly resort rooms in Punta Cana ( Hard Rock, Excellence , Dreams etc ) Not party place ? good then cause that’s what I intend ... not into parties anyways ( anymore ) ... just wanna relax and explore ...
If you're a female, don't be too friendly with the staff, they often mistake friendliness as an invitation to flirt and ask your number, then it's hard to get rid of them. Unpopular opinion: stay on the safe side and avoid things like ziplining, parasailing, etc. They don't have the same safely standards as in the US, and accidents that happen don't get talked about to avoid killing the tourist industry. Always bring your travel health insurance. If you get hurt, know that the tourist hospital will probably be a terrifying 1-hr drive away. If you get in a cab, make sure the cab was called from your hotel. You'd get a code you can then verify with the driver that it's the right cab. If you're really fucked and need expensive transportation, call your health insurance 24/7 line. They will pay for the transport they schedule for you, but sometimes won't pay for one you've selected.
Thank you love ! ... I was planing to do some day excursions I saw at Viator, are those safe ?
I'm not saying don't do them, just saying use your judgement
Avoid the free cheap rum on the Catamarans.
Actually I had it and was good lol
I booked a Peru Trip through viator.. 5 day hiking... one of the most memorable trip I ever took. I was solo (male).. so more power to you... enjoy.. in case it helps 1. The guide advised me to join a group of cheapo version a group of Europeans were undertaking.. rather than sticking to my fancy ass trip.. I did take his advice, it was more fun. 2. After the trip, I booked a separate mountain biking guided tour before heading back to USA. That was rather risky thing I did, alone, and learned my lesson (being chased by 4 wild dogs, on a remote mountain, in the middle of nowhere). I doubt that you are seeking that level of adventure, but for any mildly risky stuff, have at least one friend with you to watch your back.
You’re better off taking a cruise to China.
So, what did you finalize?
Also, any recommendations for websites etc. To book trips to south America /Dominican republic. If it's all inclusive price, even better.
Watch out for methanol. Have fun! 😉
Lol hopefully the top dollar I paid for the all inclusive resorts should get me too shelve alcohol 🍷
