The short answer
Canadians fly to Punta Cana all winter, and Rogers has a pass for it: C$45 for 3 days, C$75 for 7, C$100 for 14 or C$120 for 30, drawing on your own plan. Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, but for a week, two weeks or a month it costs less, $19.99, $32.99 or $56.99, with unlimited data at full speed. I give the Rogers pass your own number, calls and texts, and having nothing to install.
I would pay for unlimited data at full speed, 7 days at $19.99, 2 weeks at $32.99 or 30 days at $56.99, in one payment with nothing renewing. Rogers' pass costs C$75, C$100 or C$120 for the same stretch. Ringo Light has no 3-day plan.
This row is Rogers'. The pass uses your own plan, so the hotel front desk, your family and your bank reach the number they know, nothing needs installing, and the charge goes on the Rogers bill. It works on a phone with no eSIM slot. Ringo Light is data only.

Rogers Travel Pass vs Ringo Light in one paragraph
For a Dominican holiday of two weeks or a month, I find Ringo Light the cheaper way to have data: $32.99 against C$100 (about $72) for 14 days, and $56.99 against C$120 (about $86) for 30. The Rogers pass has a case of its own. Your number keeps working for calls and texts, there is nothing to install, and the charge sits on the bill you already pay. For a resort week where you mostly want your phone to behave, I think that is worth something. For a longer stay, or a laptop on the hotspot, I would buy Ringo Light, which costs less and has no allowance.
Price: the same trip at each
On 1 November 2026 I read Rogers' roaming page, which lists the International Travel Pass at C$45 for 3 days, C$75 for 7, C$100 for 14 and C$120 for 30, and its pass FAQ, which names the Dominican Republic on the destination list. The prices are per pass rather than per day. Dollar figures use the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 October 2026, C$1 = $0.716.
Ringo Light is priced in US dollars, and the checkout shows the amount in the buyer's currency before paying. The Dominican Republic has three trips, $19.99 for 7 days, $32.99 for 2 weeks and $56.99 for 30 days, and no 3-day plan. The difference is about $34 on a week (C$75, about $54), $39.01 on a fortnight and $29.01 on a month. I see no trip Ringo Light sells where the Rogers pass comes out cheaper.
Data and speed at each
Rogers states that a travel pass has no usage bucket of its own and uses the data, talk and text amounts in your plan. A big plan travels well and a small one does not, because the pass adds time abroad, not gigabytes, so I would check your plan before you buy. Rogers' pages give no roaming speed for the pass. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole trip, and the allowance question does not come up. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Calls, texts and your own number
I give this row to Rogers without a contest. Your phone keeps your Canadian number, calls ring through, texts arrive, and banking codes sent to that number still land. One limit from Rogers' FAQ: calls and texts to other countries, even ones on the pass list, incur long distance charges, so I read a call from Punta Cana to a Halifax landline as still under your own plan's rules. Ringo Light is data only. Calls go over apps that use data, and your own SIM stays in the phone for calls, with your number staying on your own SIM next to it.
Setup and billing
Neither is hard. With Rogers you order the pass in MyRogers or the app any time up to 60 days before you go and choose when it starts; the charge shows up on the next bill, and a pass already running cannot be refunded. With Ringo Light the eSIM arrives by email after you pay and installs in one scan of the QR code. I would do it on home Wi-Fi before the flight, then turn the eSIM on for data when you land at Punta Cana or Santo Domingo. The phone needs eSIM support for Ringo Light, not for the pass.
What Ringo Light is, and what it is not
Ringo Light is a data eSIM from Ringo, the company I write for, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere. For the Dominican Republic it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 7 days at $19.99, 2 weeks at $32.99 and 30 days at $56.99. One payment, nothing renews.
What it is not: it has no phone number, so it does not replace your Rogers service for calls and texts, and it needs a phone with an eSIM slot. Rogers is the simpler choice with one bill. Ringo Light is the lower price for the same time in the Dominican Republic, and that is where I would spend.

Which to pick
- ✓Ringo Light, for a week or more. I would pay $19.99, $32.99 or $56.99 for unlimited data at full speed, against a flat C$75, C$100 or C$120 for the Rogers pass.
- ✓Rogers pass, for a few days and nothing to do. Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, so I would buy the 3-day pass at C$45 (about $32) for calls and texts on your own number and no eSIM.
- ✓Rogers pass, if your phone has no eSIM slot. It works on the plan already in the phone, so I would not look elsewhere.
- ✓Both, if you will work from a laptop. I would use Ringo Light for the data and your own SIM for the calls and texts your number needs.
Pick by trip
I would skip the 7-day Rogers pass at C$75 (about $54), which is more than Ringo Light's 7 days at $19.99 and more than its full two weeks at $32.99.
My pick is Ringo Light, 2 weeks, $32.99. The Rogers 14-day pass is C$100 (about $72).
I would buy Ringo Light, 30 days, $56.99, unlimited at full speed for the laptop. The 30-day Rogers pass is C$120 (about $86).
I would take the Rogers pass, or Ringo Light for data with your own SIM left in the phone for calls.
The Rogers pass, because Ringo Light needs an eSIM-capable phone.
