Cindy,
The official PR hotel tax is indeed 9%.
And one question: Have you ever travelled through the Dominican Republic?
I am not trying to defend or justify. I myself have often chosen, not to use a certain service, because I felt overcharged.
In my travels I now try to see it as a luxury tax: If I can afford to rent a car, pay the daily fee and have it sitting in a parking lot, I can afford to subsidize whoever is making minimum wage runnning the place (the owner is not going to see that money).
Anywhich way, I think we are in charge of how we perceive certain instances.
How dose the pincho vendor differ from your neighbour who bought his house for 100K then sold it to you for 200K and now it's worth 90?
Enjoy Culebra!
Michael
