Guavaberry Golf & Country Club

Designed by legendary golfer and architect Gary Player, Guavaberry offers over 7,000 yards of championship golf, bordered by a nature preserve and verdant tropical forest. The par-72 course is suitable for players of all skill and experience levels. Additional facilities include a driving range, a pro shop and a restaurant and bar. 

Santo Domingo Shopping

Located less than an hour’s drive from the hotel, Santo Domingo is home to several shopping malls, from the environmentally friendly Ágora Mall to the decidedly upscale Blue Mall. Sambil, another popular shopping centre in town, includes an aquarium and a multi-screen movie theatre.  

Santo Domingo Historic Zone

Ciudad Colonial (or Zona Colonial, as most residents call it) is the city’s historic district, and a World Heritage site; founded at the end of the 15th century, it’s the oldest European settlement in the New World. Though less than two square miles in size, it is packed with some of Santo Domingo’s most noteworthy attractions, including Catedral Primada de América and the Alcázar de Colón. Relax in Parque Colón or Plaza de España, and be sure to visit the Ruins of the San Francisco Monastery on Sunday evenings for live music and dancing.
