Hi!

I just came back from 10 days in DR and their exchange rate is very fair! I took some pesos but regretted it... it's better to bring US cash for sure. THeir exchange rate in Puerto Plata as of yesterday was 29 pesos - 1$ US. They also advertised 21 pesos - 1$ CAN although I wouldn't recommend Canadian dollars.... US currency goes a long way there and most are very fair. The only place to be careful of is in the resort/hotel. The resort I was in was only giving 19 pesos to the US dollar because it was a private exchange bureau.... be warey of those.

Cheers!
