Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton Santo Domingo
Av. George Washington 365, 10205, Dominican Republic
This deluxe, best-value-for-dollar Malecón high-rise has rooms that feature Sheraton’s Sweet Sleeper beds, plush robes, desk phones, and free laptop-size safes. One can enjoy the Club Level for about $35 above the cost of a standard room, which includes breakfast in the sea-view lounge and two free beers or glasses of wine during happy hour. The “Social Hour” (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) features fine wines at a discount at the bar. The impressive rooftop pool has new Euro-furnishings and Bali sun beds. The hotel has a casino and bar not subject to the city’s normal curfew.
