Before I begin... - yes, I searched first for a similar thread. - I took this flight to save cash, and know there are better flight options I read what looks like a decent tip (given the inconvenience I seem willing to endure) in another forum. Here's what was suggested... - arrive STI at 3am...

Back when Lou's Shark Bar was on the beach, it was possible to while the day away while surfing the net. I know the SB has moved, and was wondering if any other beach bar now offers wireless net.

I?ve been to BC several times alone, but planned things a bit differently this trip ? mostly to ensure that it would be enjoyed by my wife of nearly thirty years (who?s only stayed at all-inclusives on the past trips to the DR). Here?s our report THE DON EMILIO. A TOP-DOLLAR DISAPPOINTMENT...

My SDQ arrival time is 10:50pm. Will ANY of the car rental counters be open by the time I get through customs (11:15pm-ish?). If not, any relatively affordable very-near-SDQ hotels wher the wife and I can crash before picking up car in the morning. And I know this is a LONG shot, but any...

I've been checking economy car rates for my May 2006 trip. And for my five days, Europcar is $128 (after taxes), and all others are $160 (after taxes) or more. Even my personal favorite, Alamo (next best rate) is $160. Maybe it's because I'm from the USA, but I have ZERO experience with...

First - I'm a single male who traveled solo. This was my fifth trip. One can still fly (as I did) from Buffalo, NY (BUF) to Santiago (STI) for $175 round-trip ($296 w taxes) during "normal" hours (arrive and depart around noon) on Continental... but most pre-August 2005 dates are sold out at...

I've decided to take the plunge, and will rent a car (for the first time in the DR) at STI and then drive to Sousa (via Mountain Road #25... unless you all tell me that's insane). This is my 6th trip to the DR, and have used Caribe for the same trip (although via a different route) in the...

I'm sure those of you who live in the DR have better things to do than to answer questions from "gringo" guests scheduled to arrive this coming week. But (the inevitable "But"), I also wonder if anyone has heard anything about road conditions between Santiago (my arrival airport) and Sosua (my...

Arriving at STI on 9/22 at 4-5pm, and want to spend the night in Santiago before heading up to Sosua. Several have mentioned Aloha Sol and Colonial hotels... but I can't find email or URL for either. Anyone have contact info and approximate rates for either hotel? And which is closer to Caribe...

Because I MUST use USAir miles for the trip, I'm forced to land at SDQ (at 1:45pm Sunday on Sunday 7/18) for a Sosua visit. I'm planning on... - getting a cab from SDQ to Caribe Tours station in Santo Domingo - then, will "bus it" (I know, 3-4 hours) to Sosua QUESTIONS - Any way (other than...
