Cheap hotel in Bavaro?
The deluxe room is probably $70/night, and that is still about half the price of quite a few of the AIs that are worth staying at. They'd price themselves out if the basic room is much more than $50.
check also the Capuchino Mare near Plaza Tobacco. i've not been there since a long time, but been nice and reasonable priced, they served good food there, too.

Bavaro II
Bavarlo II (dos) is a real budget hotel with perfect location if you arrive by plane and want to head to Santo Domingo the next day with the express bus Expresso Bavaro.
Rate is 1000 - 1200 Pesos.
Air condition.
I consider it safe, but doorlocks are bad.
Pros:
In center of everything:
Car wash to have a drink
Orange shop, Banco Popular, Bavaro Expresso bus station, Taxi station, Fast food, good international coffee bar (Las llenas) and spanish restaurant all within 1 - 5 minutes walking distance.
Clean
Cons:
No pool
wlan only at reception area
door locks not secure
warm water supply not reliable

If ya like hooker hotels next to (as Sky mentioned) the bar that gets busy at 3am and doesn't close until 8-9am. At one time there were 2 hotels back there, and only the one had a pool. Is that second hotel still back there?
Yes, there is a hotel at the back. They have a gate off the side street. Looks OK for a budget.
Bavaro II disco closed?
Last time I was there about 1 year ago: the disco was closed.
Saying was that police was after businesses abide to a curfew in this area.
Everything changes and I have no idea about the situation today.
Bavarlo II appears to be a solid construction so a room on the back on the top floor might help.
Don't know about the history of this building, but it seems that some foreigner constructed with nice finish (like quality valves and fittings in bathrooms) and now is managed "dominican style". Repairs are done only when absolutly neccessary and some rooms are exploited to have some good rooms as long as possible.
For the good side, last time I was there they had a watching men.

A year ago, Cool Disco's hours were changed for them. They began opening earlier, and the after-hours action moved to Punta 21 around the corner. Since March 2014 (if not earlier) Cool is now open around 3am, gets busy between 4 and 5am, and closes anywhere between 8-10am. The hookers that work Cool have rooms back in Hotel II Bavaro.
How to get the $50 rate? Everything online quotes $75. I plan to be there first week in Feb. Should I just call the hotel direct and make the reservation? I'm not keen on divulging cc info over the phone. This will be my first trip to "the Dominican" without a Dominicana in tow. Maybe a chance to meet with some DR1ers.
Call the hotel direct (Spanish only, IIRC). They won't take your CC over the phone. They actually prefer cash.
hopefully they take your reservation....stay away from on line booking agents... e x ped ia
i find it hard to believe that a place that has 80 rooms cant make money at 50$us a night...plus food etc...alm ost 1.5 mil a year full but that dont happen etc... but alot of places are winding down their prices here and elsewhere..
It has only 33 rooms, plus 10 new pool side VIP suites, which I believe is additional $12 a night over the local room rate. I do agree one should never book the MT online, also they will only ask for a CC number when booking for more then one night...
