The President on the DR usually makes an announcement a couple of weeks before Easter, outlining what the bans are and the areas affected. This seems to vary from year to year, and I can provide no specific information on what will be available and what will not be available. If you're a watersports lover, it might not be a good idea to visit the DR during this time. I am unable to help in this regard.

Taxis are quite expensive.
Airports and some hotels have boards outside listing the cab fares to various places. These prices are generally not negotiable. Dress at the resorts is basically casual. Many hotels require that men wear long pants to dinner, especially at the a la carte restaurants, so make sure you pack a pair. Most buffet restaurants have relaxed the no shorts rule in the last year or so, due to the increasing numbers of North Americans traveling there.
