the staff here was exceptional and very helpful. the hotel was beutiful, the pool was nice but needed some updaing. the hotel is right by the ocean and in the center of everything. great views! it is just a short walk or drive to the colonial district. we rented a car to visit the beaches and family and friends and it was very easy to always get back to the hotel. plus on the weekend there was a street fair that was wonderful! my family loved it and it was right outside the front door. my son loved getting his dominican green mint every morning from the front desk. room service was good and very reasonably priced! better than the resaurant on premises! we would definately stay again!
It was....ok

I stayed there for a night and it was ok. I came back to Santo Domingo a week later and am staying somewhere else though.
The location is awesome! It's not beachfront as there is no beach in Santo Domingo, but you will be right by the old Colonial City, lot's of ladies, lot's of casinos, etc.
Very secure, you will not worry about your safety.
The gym is very modern and nice.
The pool is on the 3rd floor, outdoor so you can catch a few rays whihc is nice.
The restaurant was far too expensive for what I was looking for (I just wanted a bite to eat, not a gourmet experience every time out) me so I did not eat there.
The bar in the lobby charged 6x the going rate for a beer which was flat out gouging. Free internet in the lobby, but not in the rooms. Bring your own beers if you want a beer while using the internet, it's not against the rules and it'll save you a bundle
A free continetal breakfast would have been nice.
excellent hotel

I stay at this hotel with my friends, the staff was very friendly, specially the guys at the pool, there is a nice restaurant about 5 minutes from the hotel. everything we want it was at a driving distance( clubs, restaurants, beach), we love this hotel and are looking foward to our next vacation to stay here.
Not Near the Beach. Not Recommended for singles

I am a single woman who traveled alone in search of a beach within walking distance so I could be in the sun all day and back to my room. There is no beach in Santo Domingo. Go to Boca Chica and look for hotels there. The food was lack luster and not worth the money.There were no other restaurants near this hotel that was safe to get to after sundown. The pool is nice, but alot of children stay at this hotel. I was bored most of my trip. There are guides right outside the hotel that offered tours of downtown Santo Domingo. I took one, but got conned out of $200 dollars in the marketplace buying gifts. Beware of the fast talking, gesturing sales people. **TIP- the ATM's in the hotel and at the adjacent hotel, Jaragua, only give you about $30 USD at a time, my guess is because of the casino's. ***TIP-Breakfast IS NOT included at this hotel. It is all you can eat, for $13 USD.
