Several questions: I am coming from California to meet up with a Global Village building group. I need to be in Sto Domingo on a saturday march 4 by noon. But I want to come a few days early to DR to unwind. So, I wanted to fly to La Romana and then get to Sto Domingo. What is cheapest and best way to get to Sto Domingo, air or bus or taxi? How long does it take. Also, what is absolutely the best beach, best romantic hotel with best food....prefer small and quirky, as long a clean and yummy food and good beach and swimming. Perhaps not La Romana? Open to all suggestions....Thanks. BTW, I speak Spanish and would love some unknown, local type place.....If not La Romana, maybe somewhere else that would put me in shooting distance of STo Domingo.....
