Good advice. Decent Dominican women WILL never touch an unknown man in public and especially at night.

cut up some newspaper to the size of dollar bills, put a real dollar bill on top, fold pile in half exposing only the dollar bill to the outside, put about 5 rubber bands tightly around the pile, stuff "throwdown money" in easy to reach pocket. if confronted by a mugger, quickly grab the "throwdown money", let the mugger briefly see the wad as you throw it 20 feet away, run like hell for the nearest business, group of people, house with lights on. muggers want money, they will go for the money,,,,,,,,,you want an escape, take it.................................by the time the mugger gets the rubber bands off you should be having a good laugh............

Not having sex with underaged people is a safety tip.
Not making fun of Chinese people is another one.
I am serious about these two so do not delete my post.

Are you talking about an all inclusive resort?

You are correct that a lot of the English speaking expat DR1 members are on the North coast, and we couldn't know as much about La Romana as someone who lives there, but there are common factors, when it comes to security.
I believe there was a recent thread that talks about that.
If I can find it, I'll post it here.

Robbery in Costa Azul...
This is a different world than where most expats come from.
People who want to and do move here, who subscribe to the mentality that the government should take care of everything for them, including personal security, should go back to where they came from, as they will always be crime targets.
This country offers wonderful possibilities for a happy fulfilling life for individualistic type people, who welcome the opportunity to make their own decisions in life, who welcome taking care of themselves, rather than the robot-like life style (you're just a number) of the industrialized nations.
The DR is not for everybody, but those who do fit in, find a paradise that is virtually unparalleled.
