Considering staying at the El Napolitano on the Malecon in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Dec 28 thru January 3,2000. Anyone stayed there within the last year? Personal ratings or reviews?

Well Mike....I live down here.

The Napolitano Hotel isn't the best down here. It's like a 3 or 4 star hotel. Rooms are ok, if you are traveling by yourself.

The Jaragua Hotel, The V Centenario(Quinto Centenario), The Lina Hotel are excellent. The top. All are 5 stars.

Then you have other hotels like "El Cervante" which I would never recomemd and "El Continental" which is a small hotel also.

My choose if not a five star, well "El Napolitano".

The Napolitano is far from being a dump, but there are certainly better hotels on the Malecon. If money is not a problem, then I'd recommend staying at the Renassaince Jaragua, the Inter-Continental or the Melia Santo Domingo. Not in the middle of the action of the Malecon, but located there nevertheless is the Hotel Santo Domingo, a very classy place. Personally, I recommend the Jaragua. For my wedding this past June, I had my US guests (about 26 people) stay there and they LOVED it.

Hope this helps, Natasha

Just to clarify...

The Inter-Continental is the same as the V Centenario.
