I'm travelling to the DR in December and I will be flying into Santiago. Before moving on to Puerto Plata, I'm waiting in Santiago for a friend to arrive a day and a half later. Can anyone recommend 1) an inexpensive place to stay in Santiago and 2) safest mode of transportation from the airport for a woman by herself (I get in at 2am)? Also, is there anything I really must see/do during my short time in Santiago?
Thanks.

Oh, this is great. She posts one question re safety, nobody can give her an answer, and we never hear from her again.

But on another thread everybody is arguing about hugging and/or killing Spiders.

That's rich.....

NOTE: THE ABOVE IS AN ATTEMPT AT COMEDIC SARCASM :bunny:

El pasajero se conoce por la maleta!!! ( Dominican slang ). If you carry Sansonite luggage you better go to the Gran Almirante, Aloha Sol, Odelpa Centro Plaza or Platinum Hotel, but if you are a backpacker you better go to the Colonial Hotel....
