I'm going to be in the D.R. for the Pan Am Games in August. I've never visited before and I was looking for any information you might have on restaurants, nightlife, etc. in Santo Domingo.
Are you visiting with an athlete or purely to see the games?
The reason I ask is that the marketing for the Panam Games has been very low key and I'm curious if you was marketed to directly and how?
Your question? Take a look at the travel and living sections of the site and it should answer many questions you have about Santo Domingo. Also the message board is packed with info, just do a search.
I'm coming as a spectator. I've always wanted to visit the DR too so I figured this would be a good opportunity to see the country and take in the Pan Ams at the same time.
