The Dominican Republic's got way more going on than the all-inclusive strips most people never leave. If you're into old architecture and history, the colonial zone in Santo Domingo is worth checking out, cobblestone streets and fortresses that actually feel authentic. Up in the north you've got waterfalls near Cabarete where you can climb through them instead of just standing there taking photos. For rentals, skip the airport kiosks, they'll charge double what you'd pay booking online beforehand.
