Though San Pedro is fairly large, there's not much in the way of
accommodation
; the top hotel in town is the amenity-laden
Howard Johnson Hotel MacorAx
, MalecA?n/Deligne (tel 809/529-2100, fax 529-9239,
hj.macorix@codetel.net.do
; US$25-50), which has impeccable service and a patio/swimming pool area that thrums with live merengue on weekends.
For
food
head straight to
Rubi Mar
(Av Charro across from Iglesia San Pedro), a romantic little riverside restaurant hidden behind the clapboard stalls where local fishers sell the day's catch; specialities include garlic shrimp and melt-in-your-mouth grilled dorado. San Pedro's
nightlife
is clustered along the ocean boardwalk; the current hot spot is the high-tech disco
Lexus
, and there are outdoor beer halls with ocean views and dancing all along the MalecA?n. Other useful information
