There's over 3 million people in Santo Domingo (hint: there's only 2 million people on the entire island of Jamaica) so it is a major city with all the things that entails, night life, restaurants and Ho's for days and days and days.
Boca Chica is a little beach town, totally dependant upon tourism for its survival. There are more Ho's in Santo Domingo but you have to know where to find them. In Boca Chica nothing is hidden and if point and shoot is your thing then you will be better off there.
Also, cheap lodging in Santo Domingo starts at $55US a night. Cheap lodging in Bopca Chica starts at $25US a night although I'm more comfortable in the $45US+ accommodations which are numerous and offer ammenities like free breakfast, TV, AC, refrigerator, etc.
There is nowhere to swim in Santo Domingo that doesn't involve chlorine. Boca Chica is a beach town.
Santo Domingo is a 25 minute taxi ride from

SDQ which costs $20.
