Hi,
First time poster but the info posted on DR1 has been great for me for the past two years. Thanks to a great community.
I will be staying in DR for New years eve til Jan 3rd and would like any suggestions on the best hotel in terms of location to the fiesta on Malecon and also party ambiance! I have stayed numerous times at Hilton and once at Intercontinental, however Hilton is kind of quiet and I'm not sure if it's the happening place for New Years Eve. Any suggestions are appreciated, and once again thanks to all who post here, I am one of the many who have used your suggestions and never gotten around to saying thanks! Thanks!

The Duque de Wellington is by far the best hotel in Santo Domingo. You will have a great time.

Jaragua, be there or square............they'll have the best band, tono rosario usually the past bunch of years, bring your dancing shoes. on top of that you have the best casino in the DR right outside of the party. wear your sunday best......

Duque of Wellington is a gay hotel and I am sure you will have a gay old time there with hot company

Just wanted to update you guys. I stayed at the Jaragua and it was great. There was a party (more like a ball) with the more mature crowd which I kinda liked, in the hall towards the rear of the casino. Tono Rosario and others were great, and it was cool to just head upstairs to the room and watch the sun rise. Thanks for the help
