Taxis and Hotels

Taxis
The taxi service in the main cities like Santo Domingo, Santiago and others is very efficient since several companies exist that offer this service, unlike other cities where there are very little.
Before taking a taxi it is recommended to ask the tariff to the taxi driver, since many abuse in the price and still more if you are tourist or foreign. Another possibility is to call or request someone to call a taxi company and to ask the tariff by telephone before they send the taxi.


Hotels
You can find hotels ranging from the luxurious five-stars, the all-inclusive and the very fashionable boutique hotels, to the very economic and comfortable inns and apart-hotels. The last ones are not generally included in the lists of the travel agencies nor in the telephone directories, so if you want to find one of these hotels you must ask around a little bit.
