I recently visited DR and was positively intrigued by the lifestyle and the people there, and am considering coming back to experience it for a longer period of time. Can anyone suggest what type of housing/ lodging is available in Punta Cana if i were to go for about a month or so? Also, many people say that the cities in DR are dangerous....how true is this?

Hi Tdot! Well, try to look at the Dominican Republic classifieds > accommodation section. You can also place an ad...

Good luck

Spending a month in the PC area will NOT give you an idea of life here or anything that resembles life in the DR.  You will get to experience lots of touists and lots of skanki panki but not true life here.  If you are serious about an experience and in investigating live here I would reccomend a month in either Santo Domingo, Santiago or best yet a month on the north coast in the Sosua/Cabarete area or even futher to the east in the Cabrera area.
Parts of the cities like anywhere else in the world can be very dangerous and parts are just fine.  Use your head and normal precautions that you would use anywhere and you should do fine.
