Frommer's Review
A soaring, artfully designed tower set directly on the seafront, this is the finest, tallest, and most desirable hotel in Santo Domingo. Its inauguration added the first new major hotel to the nation's capital in 15 years, and its location at the corner of the pivotal Maximo Gomez filled what had until then been a gaping dark hole on a key building site in one of the town's showplace neighborhoods. It was configured as part of the Malecón Center, a waterside development that includes three separate towers for condominiums, a 21-story hotel, the newest casino in town, and a small but choice shopping mall. We prefer its ultracomfortable rooms to any others in town. This hotel is not, and doesn't even try to be, a full-service resort, but if you want to play tennis or golf, the concierge can set it up for you. Rooms, which begin on the eighth floor and go upward from there, are richly furnished and plush.
Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; outdoor swimming pool; casino; workout room; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
