We have been talking with a Travel agent here in Canada and she has never mentioned Santo Domingo. Will we be able to find an AI resorts there or near by?

For the local boys you will want to bring money to pay them as they certainly will expect that. Search and read threads on sankies.
Boca Chica is 15 Km from the Sto. Domingo airport and has 3 AI's - Coral Hamaca, Don Juan and Dominican bay (not on the bay by a long distance but they can name it whtever they want).
All similarly cheap and full of the generic tourist food and noname bar drinks ( though I am sure they have Presidente beer with the monopoly and all) and lots of other English speaking white folks.
Pay no heed to the warnings not to leave the resort and you will find lots of sankies on the beach.
And a car and driver to the capitol, e.g. Santo Domingo is affordable. Or you could go to the capitol itself stay at say, Palacio and do the bar and disco scene there instead.
Hope you speak Spanish.
P.S. Generally you may want to avoid local boys with good English as they may be more profit oriented than you want.
