Excellent value for a capital city

"We're not the 'sit on a beach all day' types. In Santo Domingo, we have incredible culture, amazing food, and the best doctors. We can explore a 500-year-old street in the morning and see a symphony at night. We wouldn't trade it for anything."

— Robert & Maria G., Residents from the USA
