Jason. I just got back to US from Santo D. I was so impressed. The people were diverse and very nice. AC in the modern n beautiful airport. Am returning back soon. Go JetBlue my carrier

I've just been to the Dominican Republic for the first time a couple of months ago. We stayed in Punta Cana for a few days at a resort. It was okay, but it could be anywhere else in the world with a nice beach. The highlight of our trip, however, was the couple of days we spent at Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo. Great restaurants, a lot of history, very lively street life. Dominican culture is very complex, and people were generally very nice. We enjoyed local coffee, rum, and chocolate, visited art galleries and historical sites. Dominicans are always dancing for no apparent reason - at corner shops, during work, just casually walking down the street. I'll be looking forward to your new videos, Jason, and hope I can visit the DR again some time in the future.

Is not populate with big resorts, malls, etc... it's more natural and relaxing, you'll find over there a real European spot in the DR, lots French, Italians and more, try to stay in some villa beachfront, In Las Ballenas for example, take care!

You will absolutely love Las Terranas. The beaches there are spectacular!

A particularly fond memory of mine is sitting at a table at an outside café at La Plaza de España at night and drinking an El Presidente beer whilst the floodlights from El Faro across the river shone a cross on the clouds in the sky. I do not know if the lights are still broadcast from El Faro, but it was a magical experience at the time. Dominicans told me that El Presidente was brewed to be best served chilled to suit the warm, humid Dominican climate. Also, be sure to try the Dominican Brugal and Barceló rums, especially the aged varieties, and the Dominican Coca-Cola that is made with real cane sugar. Santo Domingo has so many wonderful places to see and visit, and there are excellent restaurants and clubs. In the latter, one can see just how skilled many of the local men and women are at dancing salsa and merengue. In addition to El Alcázar de Colón and La Fortaleza Ozama, there are other historical sites such as El Museo de las Casas Reales, as well as a museum--cannot recall the name--where one can learn about the Taino Indians and see skeletons of the megaterios that roamed Hispaniola before the aforementioned Tainos killed and ate them all. For a bit of nature, one can explore The National Botanical Garden and The National Zoological Park that are first-rate and terrific. As far as getting around, Santo Domingo has a metro now that makes travelling around the city quite easy and convenient.

Hello, Jason, you made a great video. Two brief notes though: The Cathedral you visited is not the oldest church in the Americas, it's actually the first and oldest cathedral since there were many other churches built before and after. Also, Santo Domingo is not the oldest city in the Americas but, having been established in 1496, it is the oldest "continually inhabited European settlement in the Americas". There was another settlement before on the northern coast of our island but it was abandoned circa 1493. Keep the great work!

Ok. So basically where you got the beer is a colmadón: they're all set up for people to drink, play, watch the game, dance; the colmado normally doesn't has all the amenities, and is more centered on selling goods for day-to-day cooking and stuff, although most people gather to play dominoes at most of them (normally people take the sidewalk and half the street for it, as you've seen) nevertheless, there's a fine line between them, as the first developed from the latter, you can find both drink and food at any

If you want to show the high and lows of Santo Domingo , i really recommend Piantini for the more upper class and Capotillo would be the poorest side ( obviously more dangerous to go there ).
