  • Leave STI Airport.
  • Coming onto the Hwy, turn right (Westbound) towards "Santigo/Centro Ciudad" (Do NOT go in direction of Santo Domingo or La Vega!).
  • Coming into town following that Hwy, keep straight in direction "Santigo/Centro Ciudad". You should see the Monumento landmark, a tower (picture below) approaching in front of you.
  • You will get on a roundabout, go around it 3/4 turn (to 9:00 o'clock form where you are coming from) and exit left of where you are coming from (Southbound). The road will lead around a park and the monument and continue Westbound right into Calle del Sol.
Your hotel is on Calle del Sol just a couple of blocks down further West from the Monumento. If my memory serves me well, Calle Cuba is a nearby intersection. There is also a "Plaza Lama" department store across the road.

If you use google earth you can copy and paste below coordinates into your "Fly to"-window and click on the magnifying glass:
  1. The roundabout. You are coming from the East and go South: 19°27'0.85"N, 70°41'26.32"W
  2. The Monumento: 19°27'2.95"N, 70°41'41.30"W
  3. Hotel Aloha Sol (approximate location along Calle del Sol): 19°27'1.43"N, 70°42'0.21"W



Hope this is of help... J-D.
