Re: best hotels/Hispaniola

I still prefer the Hispaniola at $50.00 per night with an incredible breakfast included.

Internet service is available, great pool and all facilities of the Hotel sant Domingo across the street are also yours.

The Hispaniola also has a very popular Disco and Casino

That really depends on how much money you'd like to spend. Santo Domingo has a variety of luxury/nonluxury lodging options. The luxury ones would be as mentioned, the Renaissance Jaragua (Marriott property)and other properties such as V Centenario (Inter-Continental property), Hotel Frances (Sofitel property), Santo Domingo Melia (Melia property) and Hotel Santo Domingo.

Hi Natasha,

> > > "This hotel, along with the Hispaniola are my favorites in SD." < < <

The last time we were in SD we used the Hispaniola (my favorite hotel, moderately priced, adequate rooms, service, etc.) as sort of a "B&B", the pool side breakfast/ brunch semi-buffet (as every thing is cooked to order) was/ is excellent. Sunday mornings many Dominican families would be present for the breakfast and, possibly, the pool as sort of family outing.

The property has a definite "~retro~" feel, the decor and in part the manual elevator (operated by an attendant :) take you back to an era (40', 50', 60's) before the advent of the 'mega all inclusive', in a time when 'a coat and tie' were the rule, not the exception, for air travel. Without much trouble one can conjure up a "Buena Vista Social Club" experience, (Havana, pre Castro) and certainly Santo Domingo (Ciudad Trujillo then) when the airliners of the day sported four *BIG* radial piston engines. :)

As a side bar, my wife worked for a time (1970's) at the Hispaniola as secretary to the 'food & beverage' manager. Also she sort of became the 'in house' english speaking (USA) expert. . .

Regards,
