GUACARA TAINA

This is one of the hotest dance clubs in the Dominican Republic, believe or not it's set inside of caves in the southside of the city of Santo Domingo, these are real caves, as you enter and make your way down(The caves entrance slopes winding down into the dance floor), you will come across several bars on the way down, also you'll see many little alcoves where you can get cozy and check the moves down in the Dance floor, where all hell broke loose, the dance floor is a blast and energetic, the crow is not your follow the trend kind, but the trend setter if ever was one, it's nearly 100 feet underground, it's enormous, and no part of it was prebuilt or handmade whatsoever, it was formed after more than a few million years of sea erotion on the coral crust of the Dominican landscape,The Guacara Taina is the only grotto Club in the whole world, it's a not to be missed spot while you visit there!

As you would to any club!

YET ONE MORE SHOT OF THE GUACARA TAINA #1 Rule if you're going to The Guacara Taina: Don't drive there yourself, there's no parking to be found around there, and if you find a spot it'll be after an hour of driving around, and God knows how many blocks away.

	Karaoke Sea Bar: sing out!	Tip Rating:

I love this place! I used to be a regular when I lived in SD. The bar isn't that spacious, or it doesn't feel that way when it's full - which happened often! This is a nice place to kick back, have a drink and enjoy the performances of "frustrated" singers - or better yet, work up some courage, choose a song from their often updated song menu and entertain them yourself! When nobody's singing you can dance the night away on their dance floor. Part of the decor is, well, small fish tanks. Friendly staff. This isn't the place to go if you want to talk, as the sound is loud.

Casual/Leisure. No sneakers, no flip flops/beach sandals, no broken jeans.

La Zona - Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo's colonial zone has so many trendy bars, restaurants and discos, all around the colonial square. There are spots for every single taste, age and musical preference. Musical rhythms - salsa, merengue and bachata - are as diverse as visitors. There are no favorite rhythms, you can define your night according to your particular tastes and likes. Known locally as "la Zona", the area is the favorite spot for a hot disco, a quiet romantic dinner, or a just drink in one of the many popular bars spotted all around the colonial streets. Wander, find "your" place, and enjoy yourself! But remember: most places don't get good until quite late, after midnight. So... take a nap and head to "la Zona".

	Avenida Venezuela, San Vicente: Discos	Tip Rating:

Don't waste your time on the Guacara Taina, which was underwhelming in my experience. Avenidas Venezuela and San Vicente have several popular discos, and are full of real Dominican people (instead of tourists) and play real Dominican music. I would recommend going with someone local though, especially if your spanish is limited.

dress nice and clean, but do not overdress; this is not a rich area, and you will stand out.

Well you should defenetely dance Meregue so go around Jet Set discotecor La guacara taina. For a more international tipe music, the place go is Monaco with a variety from meregue , salsa , rave, tecno etc. . There you will see lots of Jevitos: thats a calling for young 'cool' people. Youll meet great people and enjoy really great music. And it is not that expensive

informal(but guys dont wear T-shirts with no sleeves)

Directions: A taxi will take you there Dont pay them more tham $ 90 Dominican Pesos.
