Default The Malecon Hotels...

One of the first questions to come mind to a potential visitor of Santo Domingo is where to stay. Since many come to this website to get opinions or recommendations, why not give them a concise and easy to understand thread where they can easily see which is the preferred hotels of DR1.com members.

Each section of Santo Domingo will be covered, starting with the malecon.

Which hotel of the one's lining the malecon do you believe to be the best?

The best in room size, cleanliness, service, etc.

Other than the newest of hotels haven't these opinions been expressed already? It requires a search of DR1's archives. No? John

The Melia and the Intercontinental are the nicest.

The best "bang for the buck" is the Hotel Santo Domingo.

The best right now in my opinion is the Hilton. Brand new, ok rates, best casino in town etc etc.

I don't know how to vote. One has best rooms, another best value, another best casino, another best restaurant. Then there is a tie for best bar.

Default Difficult!

Some have better things than the other but if I HAVE to make a choice, I would go with the Hilton.

I have stayed at all of them but after my first stay at the Hilton, I have not gone back to the others. But, that's just me.

Don't think that just because Paris is a whor, er, no good(lol), that this hotel is no good. This is a nice place. The times that I have stayed there, they have treated me very well and made me feel very comfortable.

I have heard a lot of good things about The new Santo Domingo Hilton lately.
If one has a double room, may one bring guests discreetly to their habitacion?

Why not vote on the hotel you would chose to stay in?

A person will choose to stay in a hotel that is the best for them.

The combination of price, service, room size, etc is what makes a person decide which hotel they will like to stay in.

Thus, of the hotels lining the malecon, the one you believe to be the best will also, by default, be the one you will most likely patronize if you were limiting to the malecon as a location to stay.
