Hello,
New to this forum but finding the info very useful (thanks!). My fiancee and I will be visiting DR for the first time this March and staying at a place I have yet to find much info about -- Hotel Acuarium, near Santo Domingo, east of the river and apparently 1/2 mile from the aquarium ("Ensanche Isabeli" is part of the address). Does anyone know anything about it or this location in general?
Basically we're looking for a nice relaxing stay in some warm weather (we're in Boston, USA) and hoping to do some exploring in the Colonial City (walking distance from this location?) and planting ourselves on a beach for a good chunk of the time. I know Boca Chica is the closest beach but the one post I did find about this hotel (on trip advisor) described that beach as a "landfill" which I suspect is not entirely accurate but would be interested in others' thoughts. Anyone know of any food/drink places fairly close by and easy to get to? I think this is also close to the Faro a Colon if that helps with the locale. Any other insights greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your insights and help!
