I have been to DR a few times back in the day and my first trip to DR was to Boca Chica. This gentleman El Check-In is 100 percent correct in what he says. I can't speak for others but I ask the price of things here in the states. And I have the money to buy anything that I want. If I won the Lottery Jackpot of Millions I would STILL ask the price of things. Don't allow yourself to be played, everywhere in the world is not the west.

Hey, this is a great video-really informative and accurate! Your experience with the restaurant feels very real, and it happens often. My family went through a similar situation. Unless you have a family member in the Dominican Republic police force, they don’t care when you get scammed. Even with my uncle being a colonel, they tried to scam us. The bill was only adjusted after he made a call. It’s definitely a setup, so I’d recommend sticking to chain restaurants in Boca Chica. Your description of the beach and how it's divided is spot on. Not all small businesses are scams, though-mainly the restaurants. In my experience, the street vendors are more honest and offer fresh, delicious fried fish, and they always take cash. It’s best to pay in cash, go to places where they write the bill instead of printing it, and always ask for the price upfront, even at those places
