"Expats and digital nomads generally like the vibrant culture and friendly locals in Santo Domingo. They appreciate the affordable cost of living, which includes reasonably priced housing, food, and transportation. The city offers a variety of entertainment options, such as lively nightlife, beautiful beaches, and historical sites. The warm, tropical climate is also a major draw for many expats and digital nomads. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the traffic congestion and unreliable public transportation in Santo Domingo. They might also be concerned about the safety and security issues, as petty crime and theft can be common in certain areas. Additionally, the quality of healthcare may not be up to the standards that some expats are accustomed to, and the language barrier can be challenging for those who do not speak Spanish. Finally, the inconsistent internet connectivity and limited coworking spaces can be frustrating for digital nomads who rely on a stable connection for their work," remarked another expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.
