Has anyone herd of Aurora del sol?
www.auroradelso.com.do

I'm about to book my room now over the phone for 55 per night!!

i have searched on the message board to see if anyone has spoken about this hotel, but i guess I'll be the first!! I'll let you know how my stay goes.

Leaving Friday, and returning Monday.

My first trip to the DR and one of my friends in the US told me about this hotel, they said its the new "hot spot" of Santo Domingo?!?!

any comments... all are welcome!!

thanks!!

This hotel is on the "other side" of santo domingo on Carr. Mella close to Mega Centro. I have been to the casino and it's just okay. Tables are in Pesos and if you play slots they are in dollars only. I personally like the Jauragua casino better, but $55 is a sweet price for this hotel. Just remember you will not be near anything "touristy" if you stay at this hotel:D

Thanks

Yes the 55 per night is a great deal, i have called and spoken to a few of there reps and they insure me that i will enjoy my stay and love the gaming atmosphere. they also mentioned a night club too.

I travel out of the US to experience other areas of the world for their natural surroundings.

has any one else been there?

I wouldn't take to heart what the staff says about the place, but it looks nice. The location is definitely not in the "center of the action" of SD, but near the largest mall in the country..and the airport, if that means anything. I look forward to your comments when you return.

The Mall... well, we visited it a few weeks ago. The major store in the complex is 'Jumbo' - we got a catalogue in the newspaper and thought we would check it out.

Well, if size matters, it's pretty big. Can't say I rate it though. Jumbo had no stock so to speak of - pretty slim pickings.

The saving grace - the mall has a Tommy Helfiger outlet store that is great! It stocks some larger, more western sized items (mens wear particularly had lots of sizes). Ladies wear a little light on but I still managed to pick up a couple of polos.

If it hadn't been for Tommy Hilfiger, it would have been a worthless trip for us.

But as they say, each to their own!

my trip

This being my first trip to DR it was great!! couldn't of asked for better weather. I spend most of my time by the roof top pool just relaxing. I did walk down to Mega Centro, its not like our US malls, but it was good enough for me. Also walked over to Plaza Lama.

The hotel staff was great, the gaming floor was quite busy this past weekend. Its funny too, most of the time when i go the casino here in the states i lose, but i was playing on the penny slots (i'm cheap ;) ) and then i herd my number called (number of the slot machine) and i won $25! go figure, when i'm out of the states i win!! That same night there was another winner who won 3000 on a slot!! lucky her!

All in all i give Aurora del sol 2 thumbs up! Its a great hotel, and has a great staff who really take care of you.

I'll be back to the DR very soon!!

i hope more of you give this place a try. its well worth it!
thats my report on my weekend to the DR.
sorry for being short, missing a day of work set me back!!

off i go!!
