Just steps away from the Colonial Zone and Malecon (Santo Domingo's oceanfront) is an oasis for gay travelers, Casa de Monaga Guesthouse. We are a small guesthouse of 7 rooms with an apartment, nestled in an urban setting, walking distance from the architectural and historical treasures of the Colonial Zone.

At night, the Colonial Zone is home to gay Santo Domingo, with bars and clubs in close proximity. Also within walking distance of the guesthouse are world-class restaurants, nightlife, shopping, banks and more. People-watching is best along the cobble-stoned "El Conde", one the oldest streets in the Western Hemisphere, and perhaps the longest mall in the Caribbean.

Casa de Monaga is a short ride away from the business district, the Botanical Gardens, museums and other highlights of Santo Domingo. Also close-by is the country's most prestigious hall, the Teatro Nacional.

The Malecon, an oceanfront boulevard that runs the length of Western Santo Domingo, features exquisite dining, gambling at the city's top seaside hotels, and some of the hottest nightspots in the city. The Malecon Center is now open. With its upscale specialty shopping, movie theatres, restaurants, and a condominium complex, it has been a great addition to the neighborhood.

Casa de Monaga is the new choice for gay travelers to Santo Domingo who want something small and intimate, without sacrificing comfort and service. Our room rates start at $35 and go to $150 (for the apartment) and include all taxes and fees.
