Dominican Republic Hotels
Explored and claimed by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492, the island of Hispaniola became a springboard for Spanish conquest of the Caribbean and the American mainland.
In 1697, Spain recognized French dominion over the western third of the island, which in 1804 became Haiti. The remainder of the island, by then known as Santo Domingo, sought to gain its own independence in 1821, but was conquered and ruled by the Haitians for 22 years; it finally attained independence as the Dominican Republic in 1844.

TRAVEL TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:• By plane The main airports are Punta Cana in the east and Las Americas (SDQ), in Santo Domingo, the capital. You can get flights from Europe via Madrid MAD or Paris CDG. From the US, you can fly from New York or Miami. You will be charged $10 for a tourist card on arrival. This must be paid in USD or EUROs. Local currency, GBP, etc, not accepted. Taxi fares to nearby hotels are posted just ouside the airports. Taxi from Airport to Santo Domingo (Ciudad Colonial): it is about $25/30 (maximum), but if you have time to discuss the prices, you can get it for $12-13 (maybe less). There are many taxi touts. They ask you for tips to 'find' you a taxi. Walk outside alone, decline the tout, keep hold of your baggage and save yourself a few dollars tip. • By train There is no train network for public transport in the DR. • By car Driving in the DR is a memorable experience. There are few major highways, borrowing from the U.S. Interstate. They are often pretty reliable. Highway #5 which goes from Santiago to Santo Domingo is filled with crazy drivers. Since the electricity service comes and goes in the residential areas, drivers are conditioned not to rely on the traffic lights, and will often ignore them if they are functioning. When there is no electricity, exercise caution when driving. |
|
GET AROUND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: For getting around the country one can take buses (Buses: 'gua-guas' pronounced, "Wa-WAWS") from the central park of every city or from bus stations. There are regularly scheduled as well as less scheduled services. |
