 We just got back from a week at the Punta Cana Princess Resort on Bavaro Beach, saw a few almost thongs on women but nothing smaller than a large speedo on guys, the crowd consisted of mostly overweight drunks as well. This was our second trip to the DR even though the first trip was disappointing as well, we figured it was worth a second chance, the people are nice and the food was good but the beach scene wasn't for us.

 We were in punta cana last year, stayed at the Secrets Resort.  Some tinys bikinis on the ladies, a couple thongs as well... for the men, not many if any speedos... mostly board shorts and square cuts. But it is all about taking a walk or run on the beach here.  If you head, south or out of the resort and to the left, you pass all the the hotels and come to a area with no hotels and a beautiful coast line with small beaches scattered all along.. i would run/walk down the beach, find a spot, strip down, sometimes a thong, sometimes a rio, and enjoy this area.  Some light foot traffic on the trail, i felt comfortable in this setting, even had people ask me to take pics of them (w/out me in them).  There i was, in a thong, taking pics of couples, groups of girls... no comments what so ever. At the end of the day, i would walk back... if i had the rio on, i would just walk back all the way to the resort... well up to the resort then throw the boardshorts on... i was just not comfortable in the resort setting... cheers

 Just returned from a weeks stay at O.G.F. in P.C. The weather was great and my family and I were really looking forward to a good week of relaxation as life has been very busy this last year.
I wore rio’s as usual. Kiki micro tan thru, Boodie’s: rio in blue, and Nu-parr no tie nada in back with least coverage.
The Boodies was a suggestion from another board member as a replacement for my erstwhile sunup/sundown capris. It has the look of a normal “speedo” from the front with about 1/3-1/2 back coverage and is lined. In general it is an ok suit but the rear did tend to droop at times. My younger daughter said it looked like a loaded diaper.
The nu-parr was great I have ordered and wore many of these over the years. This was one of the last 5 available before they closed.
BTW- RIP to Thongbiker: hope he and Dore are having a great discussion in the sky about our beloved topic(Speaking of defunct companies).
The general scene was board shorts of varying lengths. A good number of regular and larger speedos. A fair share of square cuts; and of course me “that” guy. I had by far the smallest swimwear of all dudes.
I felt rather comfortable wearing such, probably as a result of years of practice and as I get older not giving a #$@%.													I did not get any obvious positive or negative comments or vibes so this was a good prelude to our family trip next month to Atlantis in the Bahamas.

 Going back to Jfish, I am not surprised.  Secrets always seems to be packed with Americans so Im sure there isn't much skin showing compared to other resorts even though it's a adults hotel.  Perfect example, Riv Maya Mexico staying at Catalonia Playa Maroma, great hotel with awesome beach, heavy on French, and Italian guests with the remainder being many south american guests.  There was plenty of thongs and skimpy bikinis and always a few topless.  I was the only male thonger but there was always plenty of speedos so I never felt out of place.  Looking next door to the "adults only" hotel and there was far less skin showing compared to our beach area.

 My wife and I will be staying at the Excellence El Carmen, a brand new adults only resort, around the end of November. We plan to pack nothing but thongs and smaller. We hope to get in some nude beach time but we'll see. We have some friends that have stayed at the Excellence Punta Cana a couple times and have had good experiences wearing little or nothing.

 ive been to punta cana over 10 times and from my experience the negative vibes come from some overprotective dads of their children and resort workers bar tenders activity and security guards, if you ignore and stay clear of these you will be fine as the rest of the crowd doesnt care. ive received many positive vibes from girls and a lot of picture taking from both sex.ive walked many miles up and down the beach many times and overall ive found it to be a posive experience.i have even walked up to bars and sat at restraunts and nobody cares , if you are secure in yourself then nobody will care. to all who plan a trip to pc wear what you like and enjoy.

 a beach is a beach you are there to tan, you are not there to please other people as to what you wear ,you are there to please yourself if nobody likes it they could just look away and mind their own bussiness. we are not living in the victorian era anymore. it seems soon men will be completely covered up again in those crazy overall clown suits again.

Remembering a comment someone posted some time ago, Dominicans aren't thong friendly they just ignore you cause you're a, turist, a client at the hotel where they work at.
Besides Punta Cana is highly overrated take if from me that I lived there for years. I'd suggest Samana where its much less crowded and the beaches are much more natural. Puerto Plata is good to just go more where the RIU are located since they have their own beach or Sosua for the water sports enthusiasts.

Just a short follow up on my trip to Punta Cana. The wife and I stayed at the Excellence El Carmen resort, which is an adults only, all inclusive resort, and the only thing bad I have to say is the room was very humid so it made sleeping somewhat miserable. The resort was very nice and clean, and the staff was super. 

The first day there we went to the beach chairs and I stripped to a very tiny yellow g string but the wife opted for a regular bikini. When the girl came around to take our drink order I asked her if what I was wearing was acceptable and her response was, "there is no dress code at the beach, only the pool." 

I wore a very small thong or g string every day, sometimes they were very see through, and all though I got a lot of looks, I never heard a discouraging remark. I got a compliments from several women and even a few men. 

There were a lot of women in very tiny bikinis and several in thongs. There were a lot of men in bikinis of all sizes and I even saw 2 other men in more conservative thongs. There were way more bikini clad guys then the dork short guys but then the crowd was mostly older, 40 and up. 

The next resort up the beach there were a lot of families but still a lot of thongs, both men and women, and a lot of small bikinis on the guys. 

I walked and swam in front of our resort a couple times totally nude but when I got to the beach chairs I always had my suit back on, nobody cared. 

There weren't a lot of people at the resort, and the majority probably spent most of their time at the pool, but there were several beach chairs occupied every day and most of the people there just wanted to hang out and catch some sun. All in all it was a great trip.

Hi Ex Member I think that I must disagree with your previous statement. First I live on the island and visit very often the resorts and I can give you a completely different story. If there is a place that it is as thong friendly as South Beach its Punta Cana, the beach its one of the best that you can have in the caribbean. Miles and miles of pure white sand beach full of palms and plenty of thongs. I have seen even on the buffet restaurants some gals walking in just a thong. 
Regarding Samana its not as crowded as Punta Cana but also the beach its not as sexy as in Punta Cana usually its very conservative. Punta Cana receives a lot of tourist from around the world so they have a very cosmopolitan clientele. For example its the only place in the caribbean that receives direct flights form Russia (st. Petersburg and Moscow) also a lot of flights form europe, latin & south america that trend to wear thongs. About RIU Puerto Plata was sold to Carnival Cruise Lines because the port that they built was beside the hotel so probably isn't  any more a good bet to go there. 
All in all I think that Punta Cana its a great option to wear thongs just need to choose the right time and the right hotel. If You want to have a palapa and your space try to book a luxury hotel like Excellence, Barcelo Palace, Palladium, Riu Palace, Iberostar, Paradisus, etc. and also try to go summer and fall. Usually on winter its more Americans and Canadians and the beach usually its more conservative Probably you will see something but not as liberal as fall and summer. 

About the Dominicans they are very open with thongs and must of the girls wear them I can't said the same with the guys but I know several boutiques that sale them so must be a clientele for that. For example In Santo Domingo I can get Punto Blanco (premium thong brand for mens from Spain)

 Could any of you recommend an all-inclusive for a honeymoon? My fiance and I have been to Jamaica a couple times but we'd like to try D.R. We would prefer it be adults only and of course friendly to thongers.

Thank you

 I am for The fifth time in Punta Cana, for the fifth time at the same hotel, and for the fifth time I just can't break something in me to wear thongs.  Before the trip I even sent a message and asked if swimming and tanning in thong is permitted, and they answered it was no problem for men and women. I am not in top shape anymore, am almost 40 (look younger thoug) but still looking acceptable I guess. My wife isn' t into thing bikini but wanted to buy here Brazilian cut, but they don't have any. As far as thongers goes: only women wear thongs. Different cuts but very nice. Mostly US and Spanish . Didn't see Russians (like last year) or Germans in thongs. Guys wear dork shorts. A few speedos. And if only there was just one with thong, I would start thonging too...I hate that in me, I care what people say but somehow I can't change it. TBH I would feel little bizzare wearing thong next to some athletic guys is dork shorts or young, sexy girls in regular bikini who would probably giggle. But maybe after few mamajuanas I'll change my mind.

 I just returned from a few days at the Melia Caribe resort in Punta Cana and was out on the family beach twice in a thong. I overheard one comment from a family that looked more dressed for boating in the Hamptons. Otherwise, nothing more than the occasional curious glance.
At one point, I was on my back and a resort worker made an "Ooo, sexy man" comment. I turned over only to realize that he was the instructor for a yoga class that had started behind me.
I saw a lot women in thongs and even some topless. I didn't see any other men in thongs, but bikinis and squarecuts were very common. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable by the pool unless it was the adult section, but no problems at the beach.
As an aside, I would not recommend that particular resort. Everyone in our group and other guests we spoke to had problems and customer service was attrocious. No joke, desk staff would literally hide in the back room until people went away.

I hope people who are thinking of going to the Dominican Republic find out if the outbreak of hookworm parasites contracted by walking barefoot on the wet Sandy beaches will affect their travel destination plans.  No doubt this is the result of raw sewage flowing out from urban habitation and onward to nearby beaches.  The photos of the tourists' feet were horrifying.  Sure the Dominican Republic is close to the USA and cheap to holiday at.  But that comes at a great cost.  Is you health or life worth the risk for a visit there???

Visiting the USA is already very risky. 3 tourists from my area were murdered in Las Vegas alone last year. It's just not worth the risk anymore.

Some comments on Barcelo Bavaro beach from Tripadvisor: 

A younger crowd, lots of "thong" bikini bottoms, some topless on beach only. 
Whilst we were staying there they were hosting the International Bikini Model Competition which we didn't know until we arrived and saw literally 20-30 young women in glitter bikinis and thongs. Be aware that the beach here is "European style" (as in topless) if you want. We stayed on the adult only side which features a huge pool, topless beach.
 
You will see some women go toppless, but usually the ones that should keep their top on! lol. Speaking of exposure, pool and beach are adult only and therefore topless sunbathing is permitted. The trick is tolerating the disapproving glares from the women who don't have the confidence to do it and the men who have trouble not staring.
 
Ladies, if you want to go topless that seems to be ok here too! So, this obviously means topless women, more speedos than ever necessary, a wide variety at the buffet.  

Also pool and beach allows topless women and that was strange. Just be prepared for a lot of topless sunbathing. 

Caution: Adult-only beach so women topless bathing is common on the beach. If this offends you, stay at the pool. 

There were no "rude" men gaucking /staring, so enjoy beach sunning topless and swimming.

We also noticed several women walking around topless in the family area, although I have nothing against that I just dont think it was appropriate. I was very annoyed and disappointed regarding the topless women on the beach and no one told them anything; here's my concern, eventually people are going to go nude and then it'll be out-of-control. The family and adult accommodations share the same beach and these women were walking, playing paddle ball, and outright flaunting themselves while kids were passing...not a pretty sight.

I have been there and at the palace and I have seen gals walking on the lobby in thongs and some of them even going to the buffet in a thong. It is a great place for thong wearers

 It's funny how these places change. I went to the DR about 10 years ago. The tone then was very different. The resort I stayed at had thongs topless for women at both the beach and the pool. I was considering going back with my GF but I got very sick when I went 10 years ago. Ruined the whole trip.

Went to Excellence El Carmen last year (Aug 17') and the wife had no issues being in a thong.  She was one of a handful of women in thongs at the main pool.  It could be that the main pool wasn't that exciting, as we noticed more thongs, as well as topless, at swimout rooms than the main pool.  Full disclosure, we only  went to the main pool twice, and just hung out in our swimout for the rest of the trip.

Next month we are heading to the Iberostar resort in La Romona area which is on the southern end of the Dominican Republic and I’ll give a good report of what it is like. I plan on bringing a large variety of different swimwear and scope out the scene. I know from pictures on Instagram, google maps, and Trip Advisor that whole area has plenty of thongs on women but the men I’ve only seen shorts and speedos. The good thing is the amount of speedos on guys I’ve seen is a good sign I will be fine in a thong. My goal is to be able to walk to the water and bar with the thong on and not have to wear a speedo cover to go walk.

You definetly won't have an issue there. La Romana is really heavy with Europeans. No issues at all wearing muscleskins poser all day, to and from the beach bar. Wife in just a string topless up and down the beach and to the bar, etc. Paradise!!!

That sounds amazing!! I’m bringing everything from a skinz g string to a standard speedo. More than likely I’ll just wear my speedo/bikinis for our walks and moving around the resort. For sure going to be in my thongs when sunning but when going to the bar, i didn’t want to wear a cover just to get a drink. Sounds like I’ll be good to thong my way to the bar or water. Haha

Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts

I haven't been on this board for a few years, so I should update my previous posts.  We went to La Romana (actually Dominicus) last year and thonged on the public beach the entire time no problem.  Ditto for walking the beach, past all the resorts in plain site of their security guards.

BUT, having had such a good time before, we went back this winter.  Big difference.  We had only been there a few days when the police approached and said I had to change.  When we tried to pointing out that many others (all women) were in thongs, they were not impressed, and pretended not to understand our English.  So I changed from a rather brief thong (that was no problem before) to a very conservative thong, which only lasted for another day before the same policeman was back, harassing me again.  So I had to wear my full coverage bikini type suit the rest of the time (which I had almost left at home, as there had not been any problem previously).  Not good, and its indicative of the entire area going down hill.  We were also harassed by the police off beach (not related to attire) several times (and fined $80), all total BS.

So whatever experience you (or anyone else) had previously is no guarantee it will be the same now.  We have been to both PC and La Romana 10 or 15 times and its a sure bet we will never go back.

David, 

What a shame that you had a bad experience in La Romana, I feel bad for you and next time I will suggest you to stick with Punta Cana Area, I go every month and I can tell you that always at least another male its walking on the beach in a thong, so wide and nice the beaches there, The Spanish chains are the best you will not have problem there,Regarding the police guy  they are building a Desire Punta Cana for lifestyle couples (nude beach) and Temptation that's a topless resort so how can someone tell you that your not allowed to thong on a beach? the problem with those guys are that a police men earns about 100 dollars per month so they need to look for people to extortionate to make $$$, Im sure that 10 to 20.00 will be a very nice gift for him $80 was a way to much. When they stop me for any reason I just say hi and give them 2 dollars (100 Dominican pesos) to keep them happy. I use to just tell them: hey, sunny day isn't it? have this for a beer , give them the money and then, see ya !!! 

But the resorts are a bubble and you don't need to go out if you don't want to, or if you go get an Uber or a taxi or buy a tour, If you want to drive there then be ready to play their games. Just remember that 2 dollars will be in off especially because your a tourist and the island takes a lot of care about the imagen and we are so dependent of tourism so nothing its going to happen to your, obvious if they stop you they are going to try to scare you, something that you can do its get your cell phone and start filming the conversation, they are going to get scare and probably will let you go. 

But its better to avoid all this hassle and relax on the beach for a week, wear your thong and get a nice tan lines, just relax at your resort sip all the pina coladas, mojitos and coco locos as you wish and stay on the bubble for a week and Im more than sure that you will have a very nice and memorable experience.

As I said on a previous post I go every month to Punta Cana and last month was on paradisus Punta Cana, and I always walk a little on the beach but this time I went further, I asked my girl friend if she wanted sorting to drink she said yes and I went to the beach bar in my thong. When she asked me if I was going like that (in my thong without a cover) I said yes, with a smile. I went there and needed to wait that the bartender prepares the drinks and was full of people, even was there some locals (as me) but very conservative. I was planing to ask for the drinks in English but at the end I just order in Spanish, the good was that nobody said anything and I was so happy!!!

Wow- they used to say "don't drink the water in Mexico" now it's don't drink from the Mini Bar in the DR!!

My theory is that someone's been emptying the liquor out of the bottles and replacing it with God Knows What- probably moonshined liquor that's toxic!

Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts

I was also shocked by all the recent problems in DR, especially as over the years I have been to many of the resorts cited in the news.  

But, upon reflection a month later, I am not really surprised, as I found the attitudes of the locals had deteriorated an unbelievable amount in just a year.  It used to be "tourists are always right", but now "tourists are always wrong".  So, apparently, someone tried to save a few bucks purchasing bootleg liquor.  But it was all part of the same "tourists be damned" attitude that I experienced.  But, obviously I was lucky, as I returned unharmed and in one piece.

Just got back from a 6 day vacation in Punta Cana. The gf and I stayed at The Westin and I wore a skinzwear M77 thong every day to the beach and even some in the pool at night. No negative reactions but did notice an asian guy snapping my picture as I was getting out of the water one day at the beach. The staff even walked right up to me for a chat and took my drink order. It was a great time and I got some awesome tan lines.

We just returned from a 6 day trip also.  We stayed at Excellence in Punta Cana.  This was our second time staying there and it is fantastic.  It's all-inclusive adults only.  I saw a lot of thongs on women but none on men.  I, along with a few other men, wore 'speedo' style swim suit with no problems.  I also noticed that the shorter 'board' shorts (only to mid-thigh) are popular with the younger men.

Just returned form a 10-day trip to DR. Seven days in Las Terrenas, were nice. Lots of older European expats, so lots of briefs and squarecuts, but I only saw one other male in a thong other than myself. Lots of thongs on the younger women, but no g-strings were seen. Some absolutely stunning beaches in the area.

Then spent 3 days at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach adults-only, all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana. I was again the only male in a thong (Skinzwear Bravura), a few men in briefs here and there, but mostly your typical board shorts. LOTS of thongs on the younger women, but no really minimal g-strings spotted. Only saw a few women go topless. The beach and the grounds were very nice, but the food was absolutely horrid: both the buffet (both hot and cold food was all lukewarm and crawling with flies) as well as the "fancy" a-la-carte restaurants. The drinks were tiny, and you often had to ask to have alcohol in the drink?! Punta Cana wasn't my vibe, but it was made worse by the bad food. 

Las Terrenas had a very good French restaurant (La Ola) near us run by a French chef and a really good Italian restaurant (Il Nido) run by an Italian chef. Bone up on your Spanish though if you plan on going.

VitaliySF, report back what you notice between the 2 areas. I went to the Iberostar resort just down from the Catalonia in Bayahibe a couple years ago. I wrote on here about my experience but basically that area is a great area to thong. I pretty much saw 60-70% of the women had thongs/cheekies on but however I saw zero men in thongs. I was the only one. A good number of speedos though so when I walked around the resort, I wore a bikini cover. Never had one second look. I did some walking up to the bar in my thong but only a few times. I wasn’t brave enough at the time. Haha the vibe in Bayahibe was great.. very laid back. 

I’m curious about the Punta Cana resort your going to.. if it’s a different vibe. More Americans go to Punta Cana so I’m not sure if that’s makes a difference on thonging.

Blackthong_23, thanks for your reply

Reporting from Dominican Republic:

First part of stay was in Catalonia Royal La Romana in Dominicus Beach (Near Bayahibe). Very relaxing area for getting good tan and nice beach. There are a few all inclusive hotels but the beach was not too crowded (it was busy). No Americans at all. All people on the beach are Eastern or Western Europeans so very liberal swimsuits. Most of ladies in thongs/bikininis. Most of men in short shorts and some in speedos. No swim thongs on men (except me) and no board shorts as well. Everyone is relaxed and I didn't hear any comments. Maybe just a few smiles when I was getting into water.

Second part of stay was in Bahia Luxury Ambar in Punta Cana. Very busy beach with lots of people. Many Americans here so more conservative swimsuits. But even here it was fine to wear swim thongs for women and men (I think). I saw often speedos but mostly on gay couples. No comments or negative reaction for my swimsuit. Everyone was relaxing and it was nice. I thonged at both hotels and I enjoyed my vacation! 

I wore Charlie By MZ swim thongs, Olaf Benz swim thongs and KVRT STVFF swim thong.

Sounds good! Did you walk the beaches in just your thongs or did you have a cover? What were the reactions if so? I really liked the area in Bayahibe and definitely got the vibe we were the only Americans there. I enjoyed that though as it was nice to hear other languages and a more carefree environment. I’m hesitant to go to Punta Cana for the reason of too many Americans and their American Flag board shorts. lol I’m a proud American but hate their beach attire and conservative swimwear

my wife and I are going to try Barcelo Bavaro Beach Adults-Only Resort in Punta Cana next month

Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts

Date Posted：07/06/2022 09:12:11Copy HTML

Plans are for another trip to Punta Cana.  Been going for 20 years now and never had a word said to me or problem with what I might wear.  At the beach its usually a mesh g-string and around the pool usually a thong in light colors and see thru. Do not have any suits that have a lining so I am pretty well on display, especially when wet.  

Not sure how many different resorts but surely 12 to 15 of them as some are just pretty damn nice and I have no problem going back to the same place again. However, looking for a trip in September and wondering if any of you can report on a resort that appeared to have quite a few men in gstrings?  Love the resorts that have swim-up rooms just outside your back door. 
Late in the afternoons, after numerous adult beverages it seems I get a bit more provacative and daring.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

great vacation at Barcelo Bavaro Beach, stayed on the adults-only side, the pool area wasn't our style so we just went to the beach everyday. my wife was topless/g-string and I wore some of my most revealing see-thru mesh g-strings every time while laying out and swimming with no issue...as long as everyone has a some sort of bottom on makes security happy it seems as they came by close to check on my a couple times. I saw one other guy laying out in a thong and there were plenty of women in thongs with about 25% topless.

Wow! That sounds like it was a great experience. Besides you and that other guy, how many men where in bikinis, briefs, etc? My experience over in the Bayahibe area was a few speedos here and there but not thongs on guys. Most women had thongs for sure.

This was our second trip to the DR even though the first trip was disappointing as well, we figured it was worth a second chance, the people are nice and the food was good but the beach scene wasn't for us.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/11/2016 01:51:54Copy HTML We were in punta cana last year, stayed at the Secrets Resort. Some tinys bikinis on the ladies, a couple thongs as well... for the men, not many if any speedos... mostly board shorts and square cuts. But it is all about taking a walk or run on the beach here. If you head, south or out of the resort and to the left, you pass all the the hotels and come to a area with no hotels and a beautiful coast line with small beaches scattered all along.. i would run/walk down the beach, find a spot, strip down, sometimes a thong, sometimes a rio, and enjoy this area. Some light foot traffic on the trail, i felt comfortable in this setting, even had people ask me to take pics of them (w/out me in them). There i was, in a thong, taking pics of couples, groups of girls... no comments what so ever. At the end of the day, i would walk back... if i had the rio on, i would just walk back all the way to the resort... well up to the resort then throw the boardshorts on... i was just not comfortable in the resort setting... cheers

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/22/2016 01:55:52Copy HTML Just returned from a weeks stay at O.G.F. in P.C. The weather was great and my family and I were really looking forward to a good week of relaxation as life has been very busy this last year. I wore rio’s as usual. Kiki micro tan thru, Boodie’s: rio in blue, and Nu-parr no tie nada in back with least coverage. The Boodies was a suggestion from another board member as a replacement for my erstwhile sunup/sundown capris. It has the look of a normal “speedo” from the front with about 1/3-1/2 back coverage and is lined. In general it is an ok suit but the rear did tend to droop at times. My younger daughter said it looked like a loaded diaper. The nu-parr was great I have ordered and wore many of these over the years. This was one of the last 5 available before they closed. BTW- RIP to Thongbiker: hope he and Dore are having a great discussion in the sky about our beloved topic(Speaking of defunct companies). The general scene was board shorts of varying lengths. A good number of regular and larger speedos. A fair share of square cuts; and of course me “that” guy. I had by far the smallest swimwear of all dudes. I felt rather comfortable wearing such, probably as a result of years of practice and as I get older not giving a #$@%. I did not get any obvious positive or negative comments or vibes so this was a good prelude to our family trip next month to Atlantis in the Bahamas.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/22/2016 02:15:12Copy HTML Going back to Jfish, I am not surprised. Secrets always seems to be packed with Americans so Im sure there isn't much skin showing compared to other resorts even though it's a adults hotel. Perfect example, Riv Maya Mexico staying at Catalonia Playa Maroma, great hotel with awesome beach, heavy on French, and Italian guests with the remainder being many south american guests. There was plenty of thongs and skimpy bikinis and always a few topless. I was the only male thonger but there was always plenty of speedos so I never felt out of place. Looking next door to the "adults only" hotel and there was far less skin showing compared to our beach area.

Besides Punta Cana is highly overrated take if from me that I lived there for years. I'd suggest Samana where its much less crowded and the beaches are much more natural. Puerto Plata is good to just go more where the RIU are located since they have their own beach or Sosua for the water sports enthusiasts.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：12/02/2016 09:51:12Copy HTML Just a short follow up on my trip to Punta Cana. The wife and I stayed at the Excellence El Carmen resort, which is an adults only, all inclusive resort, and the only thing bad I have to say is the room was very humid so it made sleeping somewhat miserable. The resort was very nice and clean, and the staff was super. The first day there we went to the beach chairs and I stripped to a very tiny yellow g string but the wife opted for a regular bikini. When the girl came around to take our drink order I asked her if what I was wearing was acceptable and her response was, "there is no dress code at the beach, only the pool." I wore a very small thong or g string every day, sometimes they were very see through, and all though I got a lot of looks, I never heard a discouraging remark. I got a compliments from several women and even a few men. There were a lot of women in very tiny bikinis and several in thongs. There were a lot of men in bikinis of all sizes and I even saw 2 other men in more conservative thongs. There were way more bikini clad guys then the dork short guys but then the crowd was mostly older, 40 and up. The next resort up the beach there were a lot of families but still a lot of thongs, both men and women, and a lot of small bikinis on the guys. I walked and swam in front of our resort a couple times totally nude but when I got to the beach chairs I always had my suit back on, nobody cared. There weren't a lot of people at the resort, and the majority probably spent most of their time at the pool, but there were several beach chairs occupied every day and most of the people there just wanted to hang out and catch some sun. All in all it was a great trip.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：12/21/2016 11:19:54Copy HTML Hi Ex Member I think that I must disagree with your previous statement. First I live on the island and visit very often the resorts and I can give you a completely different story. If there is a place that it is as thong friendly as South Beach its Punta Cana, the beach its one of the best that you can have in the caribbean. Miles and miles of pure white sand beach full of palms and plenty of thongs. I have seen even on the buffet restaurants some gals walking in just a thong. Regarding Samana its not as crowded as Punta Cana but also the beach its not as sexy as in Punta Cana usually its very conservative. Punta Cana receives a lot of tourist from around the world so they have a very cosmopolitan clientele. For example its the only place in the caribbean that receives direct flights form Russia (st. Petersburg and Moscow) also a lot of flights form europe, latin & south america that trend to wear thongs. About RIU Puerto Plata was sold to Carnival Cruise Lines because the port that they built was beside the hotel so probably isn't any more a good bet to go there. All in all I think that Punta Cana its a great option to wear thongs just need to choose the right time and the right hotel. If You want to have a palapa and your space try to book a luxury hotel like Excellence, Barcelo Palace, Palladium, Riu Palace, Iberostar, Paradisus, etc. and also try to go summer and fall. Usually on winter its more Americans and Canadians and the beach usually its more conservative Probably you will see something but not as liberal as fall and summer. About the Dominicans they are very open with thongs and must of the girls wear them I can't said the same with the guys but I know several boutiques that sale them so must be a clientele for that. For example In Santo Domingo I can get Punto Blanco (premium thong brand for mens from Spain)

Before the trip I even sent a message and asked if swimming and tanning in thong is permitted, and they answered it was no problem for men and women. I am not in top shape anymore, am almost 40 (look younger thoug) but still looking acceptable I guess. My wife isn' t into thing bikini but wanted to buy here Brazilian cut, but they don't have any. As far as thongers goes: only women wear thongs. Different cuts but very nice. Mostly US and Spanish . Didn't see Russians (like last year) or Germans in thongs. Guys wear dork shorts. A few speedos. And if only there was just one with thong, I would start thonging too...I hate that in me, I care what people say but somehow I can't change it. TBH I would feel little bizzare wearing thong next to some athletic guys is dork shorts or young, sexy girls in regular bikini who would probably giggle. But maybe after few mamajuanas I'll change my mind.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：01/06/2018 08:36:35Copy HTML I just returned from a few days at the Melia Caribe resort in Punta Cana and was out on the family beach twice in a thong. I overheard one comment from a family that looked more dressed for boating in the Hamptons. Otherwise, nothing more than the occasional curious glance. At one point, I was on my back and a resort worker made an "Ooo, sexy man" comment. I turned over only to realize that he was the instructor for a yoga class that had started behind me. I saw a lot women in thongs and even some topless. I didn't see any other men in thongs, but bikinis and squarecuts were very common. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable by the pool unless it was the adult section, but no problems at the beach. As an aside, I would not recommend that particular resort. Everyone in our group and other guests we spoke to had problems and customer service was attrocious. No joke, desk staff would literally hide in the back room until people went away.

No doubt this is the result of raw sewage flowing out from urban habitation and onward to nearby beaches. The photos of the tourists' feet were horrifying. Sure the Dominican Republic is close to the USA and cheap to holiday at. But that comes at a great cost. Is you health or life worth the risk for a visit there???

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：02/11/2018 08:25:21Copy HTML Some comments on Barcelo Bavaro beach from Tripadvisor: A younger crowd, lots of "thong" bikini bottoms, some topless on beach only. Whilst we were staying there they were hosting the International Bikini Model Competition which we didn't know until we arrived and saw literally 20-30 young women in glitter bikinis and thongs. Be aware that the beach here is "European style" (as in topless) if you want. We stayed on the adult only side which features a huge pool, topless beach. You will see some women go toppless, but usually the ones that should keep their top on! lol. Speaking of exposure, pool and beach are adult only and therefore topless sunbathing is permitted. The trick is tolerating the disapproving glares from the women who don't have the confidence to do it and the men who have trouble not staring. Ladies, if you want to go topless that seems to be ok here too! So, this obviously means topless women, more speedos than ever necessary, a wide variety at the buffet. Also pool and beach allows topless women and that was strange. Just be prepared for a lot of topless sunbathing. Caution: Adult-only beach so women topless bathing is common on the beach. If this offends you, stay at the pool. There were no "rude" men gaucking /staring, so enjoy beach sunning topless and swimming. We also noticed several women walking around topless in the family area, although I have nothing against that I just dont think it was appropriate. I was very annoyed and disappointed regarding the topless women on the beach and no one told them anything; here's my concern, eventually people are going to go nude and then it'll be out-of-control. The family and adult accommodations share the same beach and these women were walking, playing paddle ball, and outright flaunting themselves while kids were passing...not a pretty sight. I have been there and at the palace and I have seen gals walking on the lobby in thongs and some of them even going to the buffet in a thong. It is a great place for thong wearers

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：05/08/2019 11:27:18Copy HTML I haven't been on this board for a few years, so I should update my previous posts. We went to La Romana (actually Dominicus) last year and thonged on the public beach the entire time no problem. Ditto for walking the beach, past all the resorts in plain site of their security guards. BUT, having had such a good time before, we went back this winter. Big difference. We had only been there a few days when the police approached and said I had to change. When we tried to pointing out that many others (all women) were in thongs, they were not impressed, and pretended not to understand our English. So I changed from a rather brief thong (that was no problem before) to a very conservative thong, which only lasted for another day before the same policeman was back, harassing me again. So I had to wear my full coverage bikini type suit the rest of the time (which I had almost left at home, as there had not been any problem previously). Not good, and its indicative of the entire area going down hill. We were also harassed by the police off beach (not related to attire) several times (and fined $80), all total BS. So whatever experience you (or anyone else) had previously is no guarantee it will be the same now. We have been to both PC and La Romana 10 or 15 times and its a sure bet we will never go back.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：06/08/2019 10:47:10Copy HTML David, What a shame that you had a bad experience in La Romana, I feel bad for you and next time I will suggest you to stick with Punta Cana Area, I go every month and I can tell you that always at least another male its walking on the beach in a thong, so wide and nice the beaches there, The Spanish chains are the best you will not have problem there,Regarding the police guy they are building a Desire Punta Cana for lifestyle couples (nude beach) and Temptation that's a topless resort so how can someone tell you that your not allowed to thong on a beach? the problem with those guys are that a police men earns about 100 dollars per month so they need to look for people to extortionate to make $$$, Im sure that 10 to 20.00 will be a very nice gift for him $80 was a way to much. When they stop me for any reason I just say hi and give them 2 dollars (100 Dominican pesos) to keep them happy. I use to just tell them: hey, sunny day isn't it? have this for a beer , give them the money and then, see ya !!! But the resorts are a bubble and you don't need to go out if you don't want to, or if you go get an Uber or a taxi or buy a tour, If you want to drive there then be ready to play their games. Just remember that 2 dollars will be in off especially because your a tourist and the island takes a lot of care about the imagen and we are so dependent of tourism so nothing its going to happen to your, obvious if they stop you they are going to try to scare you, something that you can do its get your cell phone and start filming the conversation, they are going to get scare and probably will let you go. But its better to avoid all this hassle and relax on the beach for a week, wear your thong and get a nice tan lines, just relax at your resort sip all the pina coladas, mojitos and coco locos as you wish and stay on the bubble for a week and Im more than sure that you will have a very nice and memorable experience.

When she asked me if I was going like that (in my thong without a cover) I said yes, with a smile.

But, upon reflection a month later, I am not really surprised, as I found the attitudes of the locals had deteriorated an unbelievable amount in just a year. It used to be "tourists are always right", but now "tourists are always wrong". So, apparently, someone tried to save a few bucks purchasing bootleg liquor. But it was all part of the same "tourists be damned" attitude that I experienced. But, obviously I was lucky, as I returned unharmed and in one piece.

This was our second time staying there and it is fantastic. It's all-inclusive adults only. I saw a lot of thongs on women but none on men. I, along with a few other men, wore 'speedo' style swim suit with no problems. I also noticed that the shorter 'board' shorts (only to mid-thigh) are popular with the younger men.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：11/20/2021 07:43:41Copy HTML Just returned form a 10-day trip to DR. Seven days in Las Terrenas, were nice. Lots of older European expats, so lots of briefs and squarecuts, but I only saw one other male in a thong other than myself. Lots of thongs on the younger women, but no g-strings were seen. Some absolutely stunning beaches in the area. Then spent 3 days at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach adults-only, all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana. I was again the only male in a thong (Skinzwear Bravura), a few men in briefs here and there, but mostly your typical board shorts. LOTS of thongs on the younger women, but no really minimal g-strings spotted. Only saw a few women go topless. The beach and the grounds were very nice, but the food was absolutely horrid: both the buffet (both hot and cold food was all lukewarm and crawling with flies) as well as the "fancy" a-la-carte restaurants. The drinks were tiny, and you often had to ask to have alcohol in the drink?! Punta Cana wasn't my vibe, but it was made worse by the bad food. Las Terrenas had a very good French restaurant (La Ola) near us run by a French chef and a really good Italian restaurant (Il Nido) run by an Italian chef. Bone up on your Spanish though if you plan on going.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：01/04/2022 04:35:43Copy HTML VitaliySF, report back what you notice between the 2 areas. I went to the Iberostar resort just down from the Catalonia in Bayahibe a couple years ago. I wrote on here about my experience but basically that area is a great area to thong. I pretty much saw 60-70% of the women had thongs/cheekies on but however I saw zero men in thongs. I was the only one. A good number of speedos though so when I walked around the resort, I wore a bikini cover. Never had one second look. I did some walking up to the bar in my thong but only a few times. I wasn’t brave enough at the time. Haha the vibe in Bayahibe was great.. very laid back. I’m curious about the Punta Cana resort your going to.. if it’s a different vibe. More Americans go to Punta Cana so I’m not sure if that’s makes a difference on thonging.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：01/22/2022 06:15:31Copy HTML Blackthong_23, thanks for your reply Reporting from Dominican Republic: First part of stay was in Catalonia Royal La Romana in Dominicus Beach (Near Bayahibe). Very relaxing area for getting good tan and nice beach. There are a few all inclusive hotels but the beach was not too crowded (it was busy). No Americans at all. All people on the beach are Eastern or Western Europeans so very liberal swimsuits. Most of ladies in thongs/bikininis. Most of men in short shorts and some in speedos. No swim thongs on men (except me) and no board shorts as well. Everyone is relaxed and I didn't hear any comments. Maybe just a few smiles when I was getting into water. Second part of stay was in Bahia Luxury Ambar in Punta Cana. Very busy beach with lots of people. Many Americans here so more conservative swimsuits. But even here it was fine to wear swim thongs for women and men (I think). I saw often speedos but mostly on gay couples. No comments or negative reaction for my swimsuit. Everyone was relaxing and it was nice. I thonged at both hotels and I enjoyed my vacation! I wore Charlie By MZ swim thongs, Olaf Benz swim thongs and KVRT STVFF swim thong.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：01/24/2022 07:18:02Copy HTML Sounds good! Did you walk the beaches in just your thongs or did you have a cover? What were the reactions if so? I really liked the area in Bayahibe and definitely got the vibe we were the only Americans there. I enjoyed that though as it was nice to hear other languages and a more carefree environment. I’m hesitant to go to Punta Cana for the reason of too many Americans and their American Flag board shorts. lol I’m a proud American but hate their beach attire and conservative swimwear

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/06/2022 09:12:11Copy HTML Plans are for another trip to Punta Cana. Been going for 20 years now and never had a word said to me or problem with what I might wear. At the beach its usually a mesh g-string and around the pool usually a thong in light colors and see thru. Do not have any suits that have a lining so I am pretty well on display, especially when wet. Not sure how many different resorts but surely 12 to 15 of them as some are just pretty damn nice and I have no problem going back to the same place again. However, looking for a trip in September and wondering if any of you can report on a resort that appeared to have quite a few men in gstrings? Love the resorts that have swim-up rooms just outside your back door. Late in the afternoons, after numerous adult beverages it seems I get a bit more provacative and daring. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/13/2022 12:02:31Copy HTML great vacation at Barcelo Bavaro Beach, stayed on the adults-only side, the pool area wasn't our style so we just went to the beach everyday. my wife was topless/g-string and I wore some of my most revealing see-thru mesh g-strings every time while laying out and swimming with no issue...as long as everyone has a some sort of bottom on makes security happy it seems as they came by close to check on my a couple times. I saw one other guy laying out in a thong and there were plenty of women in thongs with about 25% topless.

	Re：Dominican Republic - Resorts Date Posted：07/15/2022 04:31:24Copy HTML Wow! That sounds like it was a great experience. Besides you and that other guy, how many men where in bikinis, briefs, etc? My experience over in the Bayahibe area was a few speedos here and there but not thongs on guys. Most women had thongs for sure.
