Santo Domingo Trip to Santo Domingo

We lived in Santo Domingo from 1964 to 1968 and are going back to visit.

We will be going to a resort at Boca Chica and plan to rent a car.

Is it best to take cash or traveler's checks? Are U.S. credit cards accepted in most places? Is the water safe to drink?

Any advice on do and don't would be appreciated.

Welcome back to my hometown :)

First of all, tap water is NOT drinkable so buy bottled water instead. Then most places accept international credit cards so that shouldn't be a problem. I have absolutely no experience with traveler's checks so I'm going to say bring cash. Or maybe you can bring some ATM card and transfer money to it when need arises? Read my tips about exchanging money on my Santo Domingo page and enjoy your trip.
