Cost of Living in Dominican Republic



            

The Peso floats freely against the U.S. dollar which means that the official exchange rates can change rather drastically from day to day.
Nearly all hotels in the Dominican Republic list their rates in U.S. dollars, while most restaurants and shops deal with both U.S. and Dominican Republic Currencies.
