Does the airport in Punta Cana have an ATM?
 

I'm just wondering where I can get some local currency when I arrive.

Didn't see one when we were there in Feb but I might not have noticed it. No reason to get any local currency, unless you are not from the US. US currrency is accepted everywhere the tourists are likely to be.<BR><BR>Respect

We saw one next to the phone booths that was out of service. My boyfriend then had to walk about 5 minutes to one at the far end of the airport where there was apparently a bank.

If you really want local currency, get the least you may need since you cannot convert it back. The only time I felt it was needed is when the conversion was, let's say, $5.10, then they would ask for $6.

You can always exchange your US bills for Dominican Peso's at the front desk of your hotel....MOST of them offer money exchange services.
