I have been searching for a good reasonably priced hotel to stay at in Santiago. Anyone have some suggestions? Also, what is the best way to get from the Santo Domingo airport to Santiago? Thank you so much for your help.

Contact the Aloha Sol. Tel: (809) 583-0090

Best way would be to take a taxi from the airport to Metro or Caribe Tours bus station in Santo Domingo and take the bus to Santiago. Cost less than US$30

Advice given is quite accurate.

Metro es probably your best bet for a bus to Santiago.

Fare is close to100 pesos. A taxi from the Airport to the Metro Station is more than that...

From Metro Station in Santiago to Hotel Aloha Sol should be 40 pesos-argue...If stubborn, call 581 TAXI and ask for a taxi at Metro...40 pesos!

Hope it all goes well

We stay at the Hotel Colonial for less than RD$300/night. If you ask for new section, you will have a nearly new room, clean, cable TV and continuous hot water. No swimming pool, but for a basic room it is an excellent value.

Default Thanks everyone!

All of you have helped me so much. I really appreciate it. I have another question. Need to stay at a hotel in SD because my flight arrives at 1:00 A.M. Ouch! I'd like to stay on the water, but not pay American prices. I looked at the other hotels people have suggested on other threads, but they are out of my price range. I prefer a smaller quaint style hotel. I will also need transport from the airport to the hotel. Any suggestions?
