Credit cards are widely accepted at the resort, but it’s handy to have a small amount of U.S. cash or Dominican pesos for tips and small purchases.

Travel insurance is recommended but not required.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Late April is warm and sunny in Punta Cana—typically mid-80s during the day and mid-70s at night. A light sweater for evenings and a hat for daytime sun are good ideas.
