Santo Domingo Named Most Affordable Caribbean Destination

Feb 10, 2016
Daily

A recent survey from TravelMag.com determined Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic is the most affordable Caribbean destination when compared to other popular destinations in the region. The survey compared and contrasted 30 destinations and based their results on accommodation costs for double guestrooms with ratings of three stars or higher during the month of February, which is part of the region’s high season. All hotels and resorts considered were required to have primarily positive reviews from past guests and be located in a desirable location.

Santo Domingo came in with prices as low as $43 per night, with the city’s neighbor, Punta Cana, coming in fourth place, with prices as low as $87 per night. In contrast, the most expensive Caribbean destination out of those surveyed was St. Barts, which saw an average cost of $324 for a double guestroom at a 3-star hotel or resort.

For further reference, the five most expensive destinations, in descending order, were St. Barts, Anguilla, St. Martin, Providenciales (part of the Caicos Islands) and Grand Cayman. The five most affordable destinations, in descending order, were Bonaire, Punta Cana, St. Vincent, Willemstad (Curacao) and Santo Domingo.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
