Data beyond the resort wifi
In the Dominican Republic the plan uses the Altice 4G network. In Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and Samana the connection usually works well. In the mountains, the countryside and on remote beaches coverage varies. At excursion spots such as Saona Island, and on boats, there may be no signal.
At all-inclusive hotels wifi is usually available, but it can be slow and limited to the lobby or certain areas. Your own data helps with arranging taxis, excursions and restaurants, and tour operators often get in touch on WhatsApp. Availability of taxis and ride apps varies by area, so arrange your airport transfer in advance and save the hotel address on your phone.
A local SIM is sold in shops and at the airport, but registration needs your passport and a card swap in the phone. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays with you and calls go through data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan, so an eSIM suits a short holiday.
