All-Inclusive vs. Independent — Know the Difference

For a more authentic Dominican Republic experience, base yourself in the smaller town of El Cortecito or Bávaro village, rent a motorbike or buggy, and take day trips to Saona Island and Altos de Chavón rather than booking the ‘luxury AI’ packages that can be replicated more cheaply with separate hotel + food booking.
