Yes, US dollars (USD) are widely accepted in the Dominican Republic, particularly in tourist areas, including resorts, hotels, and many restaurants.

There are currency exchange sites at the airport, and you can also exchange currency in the U.S. airport before you depart. Some areas accept credit cards - you should check with your credit card company before you leave to find out about travel "alerts" and/or international exchange fees.
Question
Do they speak English in the Dominican Republic?
Answer
The official language in the DR is Spanish. In larger cities, you'll find many who also speak English. If you do not speak or understand Spanish, you can download translation apps in advance to help with any language barriers.
