I found out about Mr. Flip Flop while researching my first trip to the Dominican Republic, and everything about him was exactly as advertised. He’s personable, down-to-earth, and genuinely passionate about what he does. As an American who saw an opportunity and built something real in the DR, he’s created a trusted platform that helps travelers experience the island the right way. You can check out his YouTube channel for local insights and reach him easily through social media — he’s active, responsive, and always willing to help visitors get the most out of their trip.
My cousin Chan and I were in Cartagena for my birthday, and she needed her lashes done. We bumped into Carol while looking for a legit service. Carol was cool, spoke good English, met us at the Airbnb, and what was just supposed to be brows and lashes turned into a full spa session that was worth it. When I spin the block on another group trip, I will plan for a spa day, and she has a team, so if it’s a group, she can accommodate. I told her first chance I get, I’m promoting her business.
My first trip to the DR started unexpectedly — we met a few people who invited us to check out the resort, offering free transportation, meals, and drinks, so we went for it. I’m glad we did — it’s definitely one of the nicer resorts I’ve stayed at. There are plenty of food options, the buffets are good quality, and the restaurants are even better (just make sure to make reservations for some).
I ended up getting a VIP membership, which gives you access to exclusive areas and events. The resort experience itself is solid — relaxing, clean, and well-maintained. That said, I wouldn’t recommend buying a membership outright. There are multiple membership tiers, and while the perks are nice, the partnerships with other resorts around the world are a bit oversold and underdelivered.
If you’re thinking of going, I’d suggest using someone else’s membership instead — you’ll still enjoy the VIP benefits without the long-term commitment.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want an honest take before you book.
