Santiago, a city in the heart of the Dominican Republic, was founded in 1495, a few years after Christopher Columbus’s famed arrival on the island. Although it has a population of almost a million, Santiago’s rural, inland location means that although inns and smaller hotels are widely available, there are few resorts there. For resort accommodations, head for the coastal communities closest to the city such as Puerto Plata, Cabarete and Las Terranas.
