I've been to Santiago a few times for baseball games (went up the monument once) ... this trip we're flying into STI for the first time.
I was hoping for a baseball game the day we land, or the night before we fly home, but the schedule didn't work out that way. There's a game Friday night (we fly home Sunday) so I'm thinking we'll stay in Santiago Friday and Saturday so we can go to the game and be close to the airport Sunday morning.
I found a condo with a pool, but found out the location they marked on the map (walking distance from the monument) isn't where it is at all, it's actually a 15 minute drive north ... I'll be cancelling that reservation.
It looks like the only hotel with a pool is Hotel Matum which is a good price ($54) but the reviews are a little sketchy.
Hodelpo Central Plaza($54), Aloha Sol($75) and Platino($54) seem to be good location wise, even though a pool would have been nice.
Any suggestions for hotels?
Any suggestions for places are good to go to eat, drink, party?
(Ahi Bar and Puerto del Sol are places I read about on the boards)
Any other suggestions for things to do in Santiago?
(we are doing a baseball game and the monument)
Thanks!
