When you stay at Holiday Inn Santo Domingo, an IHG Hotel, you'll be a short five-minute drive from Blue Mall and Malecon. The outdoor pool is a great spot to take a dip, and guests can grab a bite to eat at Aromas, which serves Mediterranean cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Other highlights include a poolside bar, a 24-hour fitness centre and a fitness centre. Fellow travellers say great things about the helpful staff.
