They don't look very comfortable and anything rayon is a deal-breaker for me. I can see getting something in linen, but I'd want to try it out first for the fit. Maybe some kind of high end fishing shirts for the DR, like Orvis?

Most of what you see in the DR is very sad and poor quality. Buy a decent quality fashionable/modern one from a well known designer, you might actually like it. I listed 1 of the top 3 designers on the planet in an earlier post.

I remember someone here on DR1 posting pics of some really nice ones he had made - north coast member, maybe DavidZ or JDSauser?

I own several, both short and long sleeve. All the pockets are great for holding cigars, eyeglasses, etc.

Anyone know of high quality guayabera tailors in Santiago?

There is a place on Bartolo Colome about 1 block from the Pola on the same side. They had a very good selection of high quality chacabanas. I just can't remember the name. It's almost across the street from the big fabric place.

....I saw a similar shirt from the Philippines made from pineapple fiber. Never found my size.

They are called barongs, and they are super cool, especially with those lacey holes on the chest.
They also are acceptable as formal wear alongside tuxedos and gowns.
Same used to be said of classy chacabanas.

To be considered,"Formal Wear" they MUST have Long Sleeves, linen,or silk,preferably with "French Cuffs".
"Taylor Made" is the ONLY choice!
Especially for me,38 inch sleeves!

Try a Tommy Bahama's 100% linen. Not as formal as a true guayabera, but nicer then a fishing shirt. Just stay away from the loud ones. You don't want to be mistaken for a tourist.
