Renaissance Jaragua Hotel and Casino is on the Malecon (seaside avenue) and has a casino in the building. Next door to the Jaragua (not to be confused with the much smaller Jaguar Hotel) is Hotel Magna 365 (former Melia Hotel) and about three blocks from the Jaragua is the Crowne Plaza. Hotel Magna 365 will be called the Sheraton starting probably in December 2013, it is getting a multimillion dollar improvement. Crowne Plaza also getting a multimillion dollar in improvement. The Jaragua I have been told will get its facelift and improvements in the next few years. A JW Marriott is being constructed over the Blue Mall and should be opening soon (or maybe it has already opened).
Jaragua, Magna 365 (Sheraton) and Crowne Plaza have casinos. If your wingman wants to be close to a casino one of those three hotels could suffice. Jaragua is generally not chica friendly (some women get in without being stopped by security). If you give the names of amigas who will visit you, at the time of check in at the Jaragua, those women will be allowed to visit your room. Some rooms at the Jaragua do not include free internet and no free breakfast. Tower section rooms in the main building in my experience are nicer than the garden view section rooms. Orbitz coupon codes usually do not work for the Marriott operated hotels in Santo Domingo.
Hotel Mercure is in zona colonial, no casino in zona colonial. Hotel Mercure is chica friendly but you might be charged an extra fee for each amiga who visits your room. Nicholas Ovando is a sister hotel to the Mercure. Nicholas Ovando has a pool and is in a building, parts of which are over 500 years old. Another option in zona colonial is the hotel palacio which is chica friendly (small pool, no casino). Hotel Conde de Penalbe has a busy cafe outside and might be chica friendly (some rooms with a balcony that overlook El Conde and the cafe).
Sometimes better to have a second lower cost room to use for sex (main room has the valuables). About 4 blocks east of the rear entrance of the Jaragua is the small Hotel Navarro. Hotel Navarro has overnight rates and express rates. Cuban owned and some of the women from Foxys (sometimes Brazilians and Colombians) stay at the Hotel Navarro. There is a new sign outside the Hotel Navarro (one block east of Pasteur on Independencia) which gives the express rate (probably 4 hours) around 700 pesos ($16US). Overnight rates more. 4 casas on Pasteur and 305 on the same block as the Hotel Navarro. Always ask to see the chica's Cedula (Dominican Identification card). Unless the women obviously looks old, no Cedula, say goodbye.
My first trip to Santo Domingo many years ago, I stayed at the Jaragua and loved it (nice pool and room in the tower section). Two amigas visited the room. Out the back entrance of the Jaragua is Manolos Restaurant, open 24/7 (I have had cheeseburgers and fries, at 3AM or later at Manolos, numerous times, while walking around in the area late).
Events at the Jaragua that oftentimes get a high end crowd with some fine women.
