Travel Info Good to Know...

Currency Exchange
The Dominican Republic uses the Dominican peso (RD$) as currency. Paper money comes in denominations of RD$10, RD$20, RD$50, RD$100, RD$500 and RD$1,000. The value of the peso has fallen slightly every year since 2006 relative to the U.S. dollar, with the current rate of exchange around RD$45 for US$1.

Weather
The best time to visit is November-March, when days are in the 80s F/28-32 C and nights in the 60s F/15-22 C.
The rainy season is May-October, although it generally isn't bad enough to rule out a visit unless a hurricane is predicted. (Hurricanes are possible June-November.)
