Just wonderin what the best way is from Santiago to La Romana...and any good hotels to stay at in La Romana! Just goin down to travel around a bit and visit some friends...thanks for any advice!!
Since it's your first post, I'll be gentle! One of the best features of this board is it's search capabilities. Since questions like this are asked and answered over and over, the givers of directions sometimes get touchy about typing them again and again. Click on "search" on the blue tool bar. I personally would recommend then clicking "advanced search" and looking at the options. It often helps to search in thread titles only. Type in a few key words like directions, santiago, La Romana (note spelling) and you are on your way!
Having said that I'll give you the quick and dirty. Take the Autopista Duarte (Hwy 1) from Santiago to Santo Domingo. Follow the signs to Las Americas airport, which will take you to the Autopista de Las Americas, going East. You will go past the airport and past Boca Chica; keep going. When you get to San Pedro, there are some options, but if you follow the signs to La Romana you will get there.
Re: hotel room. Do you actually want to stay in La Romana, or do you want to be at the beach in Bayahibe? 2 different questions with very different answers. La Romana is about a half hour drive from the beach.
