this is a 4 star dominican hotel.the rooms were very nicely decorated and clean the hotel staff is very professional and prompt. they even look professional. the food is very good with breakfast included in the price of your stay. there is a rooftop swimming pool and whirlpool and bar with restaurant service. the hotel is located in a very nice section of santo domingo, and you are just a 5 dollar cab ride away from the colonial zone and shopping of old santo domingo and very close to two shopping malls. the neighborhood is very safe and the hotel has a guarded parking area right off the front lobby i would highl reccomend this hotel to anyone staying in the dominican republic. i stayed 5 nights from 2/23- 2/28. i still have my tan. what i really like is that when you want to go party in the colonial zone, you can , and then you get away from all the madness. one problem is that the tv's aren't the greatest, ut then again you are not there for t ayway. they do have cale and internet service, and are wired for wi-fi. run do not walk as this is a gem.
