Thanks everyone for the info. The hotel is free for us so we didnt mind taking a PT to Colonial Zone for the day and back, the hotel being free (we used Hilton Honors award points) is affording us to be a bit more extravagant than we normally would be. I thought cab from Juan Dolio to Santo Domingo was $30-$40 us but I see from the above posts its suonds like its more like $50 each way (not per person i hope!)
That being said, I like to save money too of course who doesnt so I am open to taking the bus, when we visit Barbados we always take the public transit system busses and they are so cheap and we never felt like we were in danger or anything but have never done it in the DR.
Thanks for everyones posts its very helpful to a newbie visiting the DR!
I am excited and nervous at the same time about getting around in general.
Johnne - I think I am going to bring the laptop and also try to use computer in the business center too.
