BOYS!!! Can't we all just get along?! You certainly don't want to change ALL of yer USDs anywhere, given the change in values. But, the airport is a great seed money start for those who don't bring back pesos. And I usually bring back about 100usd in pesos so i have whoring money no matter how late i arrive next trip.

About airport Exchange rate...

I tried to buy myself some presents at the airport (and for the quitie I met there) but had a lot of pesos and no dollars (I'm from Europe).

1) All prices in tax-free are in dollars, you can pay in euro's at a 1:1 rate (shaving 10-15% off the euro rate)

2) You can pay in pesos after haggling but at 45:1, at that time the peso was 28:1 so almost doubling their prices.

I just looked at the receipt laughed and told them to charge it to my CC

And waking up in DR to see the beautiful chicas everyday.

[BrooklynBeas]

when i got there last saturday i got 33.20 in the park in La Vega.... i got 32.5 at Tutti Frutti who is now my friend in DR... mention Benito and Jose from NY and you will get the best rate.,... at the same time they were getting 32 on the streets of Sosua...

[JD]

That's not true.
Why do I get a better exchange rate @ Ban Reservas in SDQ then?
I guess I got "clipped" with an extra 1.5 RD Pesos/Dollar.
You are fine buying $100 worth of Pesos @ any airport.

Lechero,

I agree with you 100%. On one trip I changed $US200 at the airport.

Later that same day in the capital the rate was 1.5 RD pesos lower per

dollar. If I am not bringing pesos back with me I'll change 100 or 200 at

the airport for pocket money.

Happy Hunting,

JD
