Hi Guys,
We will be arriving in Las Terrenas on February 8th. We are Canadian and was wondering what is the best way to purchase items in Las Terrenas and the surrounding areas? Would it be best to convert our Canadian cash to $US before leaving Canada? Should be bring all our cash with us or leave it in the bank and withdraw it there and if so, at what bank/teller machine would be best to do this?
Best way to manage credit cards?
Do they accept Dominican Dollars in local grocery stores and shops/restaurants, or $US. Cash or debit? For every $1,000 of US cash we purchase here it's $1,400 Canadian, so the exchange rate is significant for us.
What is the tipping policy like on the island. We were there in 2011, but wouldn't mind a refresher as things change!
Thanks very much!
Tappers
