The area near the hotel is very safe, and easy to get to by Uber. Only downside is that I found some ants in the room.

The hotel was beautiful and in a perfect location in the colonial district of Santo Domingo
I liked the sitting area in the pool area. There were, round tables under trees lit up at night so we had a place to play games.
