Guys,
Given my experience, I felt I had to share this. We've been here nearly 2 weeks and have stayed in around 10 or 15 different of the best "hotels" / aparta-hotels in the $50 a day budget. The first day we checked in to 3 different hotels. My wife was scared to leave the hotel Casa Conde hotel so we checked out. Then moved into another one and the hot water didn't work, they couldn't repair it, so we moved out to another hotel that was awful and no internet--total disaster!!. We kept moving hotels on a bi-daily basis until we arrived at the Condominio Villa Marbella in Gazcue. Oh My God. I'm paying 40 dollars a night we have armed security at every entrance, covered parking, washing machine and dryer, dish washer, fridge, cooker, microwave, huge plasma tv with panasonic sound system, shower, big bath and take this-Jacuzzi and office table and chair.... but it gets better the apartment is huge about 45 square metres and on the first line of sea view and more important for me, the fastest internet connection in Santo Domingo. If you're thinking of coming here and booking hotels on agoda or bookings.com or tripadvisor, forget it just come here. The landlord is a New Yorker / Dominican who speaks perfect English and Spanish. He's been fantastic and his apartments and customer services speak for itself. Photos attached. His number is 8099194855 and his name is Holpping. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM or HIS SERVICES ENOUGH:
