The Dominican Republic is more than just stunning beaches; it offers unique experiences for travelers. Here are four hacks to elevate your stay.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Approximately 75% of Santo Domingo's hotels include historical features, like Hotel Renacer, which is set in a beautifully restored colonial building.
Local Hack: Ask for a "café con leche" at breakfast - many hotels provide complimentary coffee that showcases local beans, offering an authentic taste of the region.
Hidden Gem: Check out Calle El Conde, a vibrant pedestrian street that's 10 minutes from the main hotel district. This area features street performers, local artisans, and authentic Dominican cuisine beyond the typical tourist haunts.
Smart Tip: Hotels in the Zona Colonial area often offer lower rates on weekends, sometimes up to 25% less than weekday prices, due to decreased demand.
