So now i understand why it is called Renaissance Hotel.....because it was last remodeled in the 17th century!!!!!! As I write this I am currently staying at the Santo Domingo Renaissance. I think the one thing that has always attracted me to this hotel chain was consistency and no surprises, however this Renaissance is an embarrassment to the entire Marriott... More

Arrived in the early hours of the morning. Seemed like some strange buisness going on out front and in lobby with what had to be 'working girls' Hardly the first impression you want. Lobby pretends to be grand but smelled musty. Check in agonizingly slow and we were first in line. Allegedly we had an upgraded room? Concerning as it... More

The hotel staff is very friendly and cordial. The hotel is very well maintained in the outside areas, the restaurants and the rooms. Daily changed of the bed linens and towels. This is a basic (business like) hotel in the capital city of the Dominican Republic. If you are lucky enough to stay in the main tower you will have... More

For sure this hotel has no senior managers working during the weekend......Dirty place overall, uncomfortable room. A/C is noisy and smells, problems with water in shower, unprofessional staff and chewing gun while talking to you. Very slow check-in. Many other hotels in the area will provide you with better service and prices. .

We had never been to this part of the world. Everything we read on Trip Advisor (both positive and negative) was true, but the positive by far outweighed the negative. It is a $40 taxi ride each way from the airport. Make sure you verify this at the airport. We were originally booked in the garden rooms but upgraded to... More

I enjoyed this property,stayed at many hotels in SD and this is up to par.Stayed in the Garden Wing at a low price,sure it was very dated but really clean.The AC worked great,the beds comfortable, and the housekeepers did a great job. The pool and public areas were well kept,and all the staff well trained and very friendly,Very good location.... More

We had seen all reviews and pictures and we were not surprised. Location is best in Santo Domingo and the area is very safe for tourist and in fact this is the best place in the city as crime seems very law thanks to patrols. The hotel is a little old in some parts but still very nice. We had... More

Other reviews here correctly describe this place - used to be a very nice hotel, but it is in need of renovation. The staff told me there will be a renovation this year. I have stayed at other similar hotels in Santo Domingo - Melia and Barcelo (Lina). Those hotels were both calm, quiet, and in good shape. I would... More

I have been traveling to Santo Domingo for over 20 years. The Jaragua hotel is one of my favorites. There are many other good hotels in the capital city as well, but for the price, location and for my personal likes, the Jaragua is the best for the value. The hotel has a nice casino, a great Merengue bar with... More
