Supermarket is like 5 minues by scooter. In our apartment there is furnished kitchen. Small shops available as well. It is very usual here to order the delivery.
There are restaurants as well. We are in tourist center that's why you have to expect touristic prices. But still there are some cheaper dominican buffets and fast foods. Specially fried chicken Dominicans like. Their traditional food you can try in shopping center Jan Juan. Family (4 members) spends weekly 200USD if they eat at home. Prices are: bread 2USD, milk 1l 1USD, chicken 4USD, small water 0,2USD.
There is warm the whole year in the Dominican Republic. You can not make mistake with choice of your vacation. In May-June and October-November it is rainy season but it means that suddenly rain comes and after half an hour it is sunny again. In July, August and September hurricane can appear. It means that everybody knows about it, prepare, stay at home and then they enjoy the rest of holidays. Hurricanes are not very strong and very often they avoid the country. In summer it is more humid and it looks warmer.
Air temperature is 29-32°C.
Sea temperaure is 26-28°C.
If you ask about rules when driving...rules don't exist. The only rule is don't stop, don't be polite and only come in to trafic. Driving licence take with you.
Cash or credit/debit cards? In supermarkets, restaurants you can pay by card. In smaller shops, souvenir shops it is better to have cash money. Don't let anybody to leave with your card! Specialy at petrol staion. In Punta Cana you can pay with USD or Dominican pesos. 1USD - 50 pesos. You can change money in close pharmacy at petrol station.With ATM you can have troubles...Dominicans twice a mont get salary and after that ATM are empty!
There is several beaches around. "Our" beach is Bibijagua. There you have sun bes for free. Close beaches are: Cortecito, Los Corales. Macao Beach is about 20 minutes far, Bayahibe beach is about 1 hour away. Thanks to scooter which we provide (or rented car), you can visit all of them.
People ask about safety in Punta Cana. Our answer is: Don't worry. If you don't go at night somewhere to dark small street, no reason to be scared. It is not true that there are many thieves waiting for you. If you provocate with golden jewelery, too expensive things, something can happen, but it is rare. Punta Cana is one of the safest places in the Dominican Republic, because it is touristic place and goverment wants more tourists to come. Police and security is everywhere. Our area is very safe. Only with entry pass someone can enter our district.
Money or card? At supermarkets, most of restaurants you can pay by card. At souvenir shops they normally accept cash. We don't recommend to use ATM. When you pay by card, never ever let anybody to leave with your card!
