Default Where in Puerto Plata is "RUSA"?

I am looking to exchange USD to Dominican Pesos when I arrive in POP this week. From using the search function on this site, I understand "RUSA" is a place where one can get a good rate. Just wondering if someone can tell me where exactly RUSA is and do the cab drivers know? Also in RUSA a cambio or an "exchange house" of some sort. Thanks

It's on 12 de Julio immediately opposite Fine Gift Centre in the centre of town - yes, it's a money exchange office. The cab drivers will know Fine Gift Centre for sure. RUSA is one block past Post Office on 12 de Julio i.e. just past intersection of 12 de Julio with Separacion.

They have another smaller office on 27 de Febrero.

Lambada, they closed the one on 27 Febrero.

They now have a small one across from the Brugal Factory (where the tours are) just on the east side of the factory.

They also have a big one on Manola T. Justo at the new gas station plaza Sunexo. (hope I spelled that right)

Their exchange rate on US and Canadian money is always excellent.
