Wish I was going in Dec, Im going to be arriving into cibao airport on Feb 3rd . Ill probably stay a night or two there, last time I was there in August they were renovating at Camp David hotel, I could tell you somegood places I went to , everybody pretty much knows about th bars around the monument , but if you can ,go to a club called Ambis on fri and Sat. nights nice locals there ,also a place called tribeca is good. if you are there during the week there is this bar across the street from the university ,you have to go up the stairs to the second floor ,thats where it is ,if you go around 9pm on like tues ,theyhave kareoke there ,thats when the university people all get out from night class and hang for awhile
