El Candil is very nice. they just switched over owners but give them a call
(809) 523 42 52. about3 blocks from the beach, security, hot water all the time, guest friendly, restaurant/bar, nice pool.. they look more like apartments than hotel rooms with a seperate living room with cable, kitchen area, bedroom with bathroom.

there is also el gaucho and costalunga which i hear are nice also. Hamaca is an all-inclusive if you want that.

Expect to pay around 50 a night at Candil and Costalunga, Hamaca will be a little more than 100 a night, but it is an AI.

One of the best places I know is El Mirador. It's owned by an italian.
It's a residence. you can call him at 809-523-6680.
The appartments/rooms are very clean and you can even cook yourself.
I think he takes around 45/50 US$ a night.
I am not sure he has still rooms available. Another one you can try is Hotel Garant International which is owned by a canadian.

I am opting for a non AC room at candil this year (i have stayed there many times in the past...and hope all will go well with the new administration).

A 1br apt is 52 a night...(with kitchenette and AC)...no ac with kitchen is 37...and no kitchen and no AC 32.

Costalunga runs 40 a night.

Well...i dont plan on spending my day time in my room (when it gets hot)...and the evenings are quite comfortable...and i definitely am not going to be cooking....so I think the

I just hope its a decent room! I have always had a nice apt overlooking the pool area. All i need is the breezas...and i will be happy.

I think they raised it to 45 (and that's for cash, US $).

i got an email from mario at constalunga for a quote of 40 a night the other day. Unfortunately...they dont have availablity till the 5th...and i am flying on the 28th.

The new adminstration at candil has room for me...i am just trying to confirm my rate for 32 at candil.

(oh..and to he OP..the extra $$ for an AC room with a kitchen has been worth it in the past for me....i am just cutting corners this year...and i since i dont cook on vacation...and the kitchenettes that are offered are quite spare..i see this as a great cost cutter.)

I am just hoping that the Non-AC room has some decent breazes.

and to the OP..i am returning on the 7th of march..and you are looking towards the end of march...i will most definitely post about my stay before you travel.

when i stayed at el candil in january i had an a/c room, never really needed it. my apt was right over the office so i got good breezas. the only drawback was the activity from the massage parlor across the street and the moto noise on the street. i was too fond of the "leave your key" policy but then again that big fish with a key on it is not something you can stick in your pocket...

Default Hotel near Santo Domingo airport

We will be leaving DR April 11 and would like to find a decent room for the night before. Any recommendations for something close? We'd prefer not to have to go into the city. Thanks!!
Susan and Eric
