I am traveling with a friend to DR for the first time in late February. I have two questions.
We will be flying JetBlue and arriving at 2:15 AM in Santiago. I've been researching hotels and would like to book at room at either Aloha Sol or Centro Plaza. I have not had luck booking online through Expedia. The message immediately comes up "no availability" I believe because we only want to stay one night. I'm nervous about making a phone call because I don't speak Spanish. Is arriving at either of these hotels so late a problem? Will there be someone there to let us in?
What is the best way to travel to Samana, near Las Terrenas, the next day? We are considering splurging and flying either to or from the pennisula. The other trip will be either by taxi or bus. Any hints or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
