Hi Folks,
I am visiting santiago next month from Mia. Last time I visited was in 2002.
I will be traveling with my wife for a family reunion for her family. I was born in Santo Domingo. I am 30.
Since the wave of crime that has been affecting our lovely nation I have made quite afew changes to our itinerary (spending the last 7 weeks in a Resort in punta cana)
Here are my questions:
1- How safe it is to be "out and about" late at night?
2-To avoid drawing unwanted attention I will not stay with her Family (Santiago, La Loteria); is the Hotel Hodelpa Centro Plaza safe and close to "La Loteria"?
3-What's the best way to get from Santiago to Punta Cana and how long does it take?(dont wanna rent a car and drive)
4- I LOVE merengue tipico. What are the best and safes places to go to catch El Prodigio or Kerubanda?
The last people that have visited d.r have all come back telling me that I have to be VERY carefull and that d.r is not the same place that it was when I visited 4 years ago.
5-Are they exagerating or have things really change that much?
Muchisimas gracias a todos por la ayuda y la informacion
Thanks abunch for your help and any information you share with me.
