What I mean by that is that you can't compare it to a renaissance in the USA, the hotel is indeed of a great need of restoration, but that said I am very impressed by the staff that are very helpful and well trained, it is very safe and the hotel is clean, so you can't really complain since the...

I used to live in Santo Domingo 43 years ago and we used to come to the Jaragua hotel as kids and spend the day at the pool so when I was returning with my grown sons I wanted to see if it was as I remembered. They have built an entirely new hotel on the front along with a... More

We stayed twice at this hotel during our stay in the Dominican Republic and we really enjoyed our stay. I will have given it a 5 rating but the hotel rooms really need a renovation to be comparable to the newer hotels; but as far as the price paid for the room you really can't ask for more. Since the... More

This is a totally acceptable hotel for the Dominican Republic. The staff were excellent. They were extremely accomodating from Wladimir at check-in to George the bartender in the Champions Sports Bar. They helped us with taxis and travel to and from the airport as well as setting up a golf outing for us a short distance from Santo Domingo. The... More

In my opinion some of the drama I've read from other reviewers about this being the worst Renaissance ever is highly exaggerated. The common areas are very nice, comfortable seating and updated furnishings. I had a sandwich from the little shop by the entrance to the pool and it was good and fresh. The casino is big and they have... More

I was really surprized by this hotel. The Marriott Renassiance has always been a top of the line hotel. But this one you could hang a Motel 6 sign on it. The rooms were large and bed was comfortable but the furniture in the room was beat up. Doors and drawers were hanging or did not open correctly. The door... More

. During last week's trip to the Dominican Republic, My wife and I stayed at the Magna 365 Hotel but because of a little mistake from our part we had to move from the Magna 364 to the Jaragua because of my wife's past experiences at that hotel. Many years ago my wife stayed at that hotel and told me... More

The check in process was a hustle, I was given room 263, and I assumed that I was on the second floor, off my way I go.., taking the elevator to the second floor. To my surprise the only room in that floor was room 217 and the rest were offices!, so I went back to front desk, the clerk... More
