Overview
Dominica is a moderately priced Caribbean destination, generally more affordable than its neighbors like St. Lucia or Barbados, but costs can add up due to its reliance on imported goods and limited tourism infrastructure. Accommodation and dining at sit-down restaurants are the primary cost drivers, while local guesthouses and roadside food stalls offer good value. Getting around on shared minibuses is cheap, but taxis for longer island excursions can be pricey.
Notes
Eat at local 'cook shops' and roadside stalls for authentic Dominican food at a fraction of restaurant prices, and use the shared minibus network instead of taxis to dramatically cut daily transport costs.
