You’re considering staying on the resort your entire time there? You should check out the country a bit dude even if it isn’t to just chase pussy, there’s some nice spots in the DR.
Yea i will definitely play it by ear. I wonder if you can bring a local girl back to the resort though? Not sure how that part might work...
Normally difficult. DR is a well oiled corruption machine, the security and reception staff will want their palms greased if you're going to bring anyone into the hotel, some flat out wont let you but most it's just them getting their bonus.
Scout the hotel, it might be a goldmine or it might be empty, it's an absolute crapshoot and just a lucky dip, sometimes there will be a group of hot girls or two and sometimes it will just be couples. If your hotel delivers, the pool, beach, activities and club (if it has one) will do the trick.
There is a Coco Bongo in PC now, it's a fun night anyway, but basically it will be full of tourists every night so it's a good place to hit for a night out. It's a rip-off on the alcohol but it is what it is. There are also a couple of other clubs, Imagine is a cool cave club, especially on the weekends but I didn't go there on my most recent trip so might not be anymore, someone who has been recently can probably update.
Otherwise day trips are also a great way, don't book them through the hotel but walk out on the beach and find some of the tour guys to do it, probably be cheaper, but more importantly will be people that aren't from your hotel that are on the boat. Saona Island is a great one, when I hit it last time was full of hot women, expect lots of Russians though, as with all of PC, this is a positive for the aesthetics and targets but if you can't handle Russians it can cause issues obviously.
Beach is always fair game as well, depending on the resort there will probably be several neighbouring resorts and you can normally walk the length of the beach.
Finally there are a few shopping malls and the like, they're nothing special and pretty pricey for shopping but there will be some talent lurking if you're lucky, in particular the staff working there can be a good source of locals who speak English as a bonus (if this is an issue for you).
Also highly recommend getting out of the resort at least a little, ton of fun stuff to do, if you golf then Punta Espada, Punta Cana and Corales are all ridiculously good courses (expensive as well!), ton of adventure sports on offer as well.
