If you go to Santo Domingo, you will want to stay at the Embassy Suites Los Marlins. It is a nice hotel, and is very close to the airport, only a 20-minute drive. The one hotel that is the worst is the Barcelo Lina. The shortest flight is 9 hours, leaves at 12 noon, and arrives at 10:15. The flight costs $599 and the hotel costs $114 a night. One of the major attractions is the National District. Another is the Quisqueya Baseball Stadium. Santo Domingo is the oldest city in the new world so you can see the first hospital in the Americas or the first cathedral. Shopping is huge and the best is at the Mercado Modelo. Restaurants offer cuisine of all types as well as delicious local food. It is a very nice city but keep a low profile. Many criminals think of tourists as easy prey. Be careful and limit your use of credit cards, because they can be stolen. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and trust few people. 1. Map of Dominican Republic 2. Santo Domingo, 3.Juan Dollo Beach
