The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern half of Hispaniola and offers palm-lined beaches, lush mountain interior, colonial architecture in Santo Domingo and an established all-inclusive resort culture along its north and east coasts.
There, the main plug types A and B are used and the standard supply is 110 V at 60 Hz. In most cases you will not need a travel adapter if your plugs match the local socket type. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip The Dominican Republic uses type A and B flat-pin sockets. Power outages are common outside the major resort zones. Most all-inclusive hotels have reliable generator backup, but in local guesthouses and smaller towns it is worth keeping devices charged whenever power is available.
