Bob....of course it might be the "white suit jacket"...

....you wander around in on Saturday nights in Santiago.......

Likely marks you as a "high roller" at the roulette tables, hotels, etc........

I was under cover...I usually go as a bum.....( ps I dont think you have your days right...I was in Sosua sat night) ( but I did get a fever this trip!!!)

Our first stop was Tribecca Bar, they said you had to go dressed nice to Tribecca.....so I went dressed nice...they made me take my ear ring out...but let a guy with a t shirt and ripped blue jeans in!!! go figure....

do you think the ruse worked for the Platino???

Kyle,
I was thinking of visiting Santiago around the same dates. However, the airfare from Dca was alot higher than normal. I'm guessing it's the high gas prices. I'm curious as to what kind of rate you found. I look forward to a trip report. Save some chicas for the rest of us.

still not sure as of today. i have a san jose costa rica airfare (419.00) on hold for those dates and a room reservation at the del rey. 545.00 was my price out of bwi to sti. i need to decide quickly so the hotel doesn't lose out because i have a room on hold.

I guess I am whiter than you!!!! ha ha ha......they showed me three rooms....and I went back downstairs to ask the price of each....none were less than 3000 pesos, one was over 4,000 pesos!!

I'm prolly the whitest guy here. My picture is next to the definition of "WASP" in the dictionary.

Actually, they raised my rate from RD$1150 to RD$1450 between December and February. Go figure. I was a little ****ed.

I DO get what they call "corporate rate". Maybe that's the difference, I dunno...

I usually get the "Junior Suite". Small, but I don't spend much time in the room. Thye shower is small, however, I agree.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a cabana

HORUS, which is my prefered is only a mile or so past Mariott. Executive suite: Small dinning area, Bedroom with king bed, seperate area with jacuzzi and skylite, bathroom with shower, 2 TV's etc. only 2400.00. My favorite by far when staying in Santiago. Indoor parking of course. Very guest friendly.

And how do you maintain security if you wish to leave the room and return?
What do you use for a Key?

LOL That's right. Never noticed it as I leave my clothes on the couch.

And how do you maintain security if you wish to leave the room and return?

Good Q. I've never stayed more than 2 days. Never left valuables in the room. Except one day I left my wife there for 6 hrs. and when I got back she was still there. Go figure. I'ma dead man. LOL.
Never stayed for more than 2 days. If you let the guys at the reception know you're leaving or the "watchman" they close the gate. For several days, you probably have to go to plan B.

hotel in santiago

A hotel that I like to use in Santiago is the Rotunda, on the northern entrance to the city. Rooms are 350p night with fan, and 700 with ac-fridge. It is next to transporte espinal, has an internet center in front and is pretty nice, and the price is right.

The best hotel, by far, is 'hotel yerbita'... jejeje.. just kidding. I think 'El gran Admirante' has to be the best in Santiago.

I agree with Corsair, the best place for a good deal is the Aloha Sol. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and it is close to everything except the malls. Anywhere else and you are at the mercy of the hotel.

Do you have their phone number?, I stayed at the Colonial for 540 pesos with AC, but their rooms are so small, poor lighting and the TV romote controls don't usually work. Not to mention I killed 2 roaches during my week stay. Yuck !!
