Currency exchange and San Juan
Hello!
Tell me, please, is it possible at the airport, upon arrival, to exchange dollars for local currency? Is it worth it at all? If not at the airport, then where?
And another question: in 2010, the San Juan shopping center was opened not far from the hotel. Has anyone visited it? Can you get there on foot?

At the airport, do not try to change, sooooo unfavorable exchange rate. It is better to change already in Bavaro in banks or exchange offices. In exchangers, the rate is 1 USD = 38 pesos, in banks a little lower, at the airport - very low
Yes, there is nothing to do there, all these clothes are in Russia. Can't walk, only taxi

Thanks :)
Are there money changers on site or how do I get to them?
I don’t need clothes, I would like some souvenir magnets-plates, coffee and rum. And then I read that the hotel is all expensive.

And why do you then exchange, if you only want to buy souvenirs? Can you buy with dollars?
аватар engels777
Yes, dollars should not be exchanged at all - you can buy everything for them there! And souvenirs --- there are shops on Bavaro beach.

That is, in cafes, shops / shops, everywhere you can pay with dollars? And at a rate lower than in exchangers?
аватар engels777
There, without a course --- they immediately give out the price in dollars and the price tags immediately in dollars and local currency. It is more profitable, for anyone, to pay in dollars immediately than to exchange them.

Coffee, rum (not very expensive and very good rum of various types, the cheapest in my opinion is $ 6 a liter and quite decent) and other souvenirs at real prices are sold in COLUMB stores. If you go on an excursion to Santo Domingo, then you will be brought there.

Coffee and rum need to be bought in supermarkets, cheaper, not in souvenir shops
аватар Kelly2011
During an excursion to Saona Island, are they brought to any shops where you can buy coffee, rum, souvenirs at reasonable prices?
If you take a taxi to the nearest supermarket, won't buying souvenirs cost more than they cost at the hotel?
аватар Perevozchik
Of course, a taxi will be more expensive. I always take my tourists to supermarkets after excursions, and not to souvenir shops.
