No soap, just a freaking bottle that is supposed to give you a squirt when you want to wash your hands.
No fridges in the rooms!

Hardly sounds like even 3 star accomodations. But, what are the hotels to do? The tour companies that bring the majority of clients to most hotels pressure, pressure, pressure the hotels to charge less in order to compete, but don't reduce their own portion of what the client pays. Consequently, even when fulll, the hotels barely make any money after providing room, meals, and drinks.

Seems to me that many of the hotels in the DR are in a downward spiral.
