I also attended a wedding reception at this hotel (in fact it was probably the same "conference" you were told the president was attending). I have lived in the caribbean previously, and knew what to expect. However, because the bride wasn't just another American with money, but a world traveler with Dominican roots, I expected the hotel to be at... more

We were in Santo Domingo for four days (3 nights in the Jaragua). We booked a Garden Wing room over the Internet. The room was nice, but the stone floor was very cold from the AC. We switched off the AC but it did not get better. I asked the front desk for a "warmer" room - 20min later a... more

All the staff at this location couldn't have been friendlier. For us, the service is what really made this hotel. We were traveling with our 9 month old daughter and the staff was so great with her. The location is another plus - it's right on the Malecon, right beside the Melia. We walked to the Zona Colonial from the... more

The lobby area is very lively. There was always something going on there during my stay. It had 2 restaurants, although I only ate... more

We booked this room at a bargain rate and were more than pleased with the entire experience! Initially told that there were no non-smoking rooms available, the clerk was able to give us a lovely tower room. The bed was super-comfortable and the extra pillows we requested were already there. The employees were eager to please, friendly, and responsive. The... more

We stayed at a room in the Garden area. The room was equipped with Internet, cable TV, toiletries and comfy beds. They have a large casino, business center, pool, several restaurants, exercise and massage room. Everything was clean and well kept. Room service was attentive, timely and the food was good. In fact the hotel staff was very helpful and... more

The Jaragua Santo Domingo is a centrally located hotel on the Malecon in the heart of Santo Domingo. The staff is extremely helpful. We had originally booked a room in the garden section of the hotel but did not like the rooms there. We were automatically given an upgrade to the Tower (main) section of the hotel. The rooms were... more
