~ Get Some One $ Bills Before You Travel ~

Make sure you get some small notes when you change your currency before you travel. We made sure we had plenty of one US Dollar bills and it was a good job we have some because when you arrive into Puerta Plata airport and collect your suitcases all the locals flock to you and grab your suitcases then expect a tip, we were okay with giving a tip as they were helpful however some people we spoke said the men were quite rude and demanded a tip... only give a tip if you feel the service was good.

Unique Suggestions: I saw a family of four and again the men at the airport took all the cases then wanted a tip, i saw the poor tourist give the man 20 US Dollars because he obviously had nothing less. I personally would not do it, so to avoid this situation get some small notes before you travel.

Fun Alternatives: You could always say no thank you but they are quite firm and take the suitcases anyway but if you do not have any money tell them as soon as they touch your case.... im sure they will soon let you have it back if they know they aint going to get a tip!
