The island of Hispaniola (from Spanish, La Española) is the second-largest island of the Antilles, lying between the islands of Cuba to the west, and Puerto Rico to the east. Christopher Columbus arrived there on December 5, 1492, and on his second voyage in 1493 founded the first Spanish colony in the New World on it. It was the only island visited on all four voyages.

Haiti occupies the western third of the island; the eastern two-thirds are the Dominican Republic.

The Taíno called the island Quisqueya (or Kiskeya),which means "mother of the earth". The name is still in use in both countries. It poetically refers to the Dominican Republic in that country's national anthem, Quisqueyanos valientes. The Spanish rechristened the island Santo Domingo, and the corresponding term Saint-Domingue was taken up by the French. The Arawak name, Ayiti or variants thereof, was reintroduced in 1804 as the name for independent Haiti. The name Haiti was originally intended to mean the entire island, not just the western part, and in fact the present-day Dominican Republic was known briefly as Spanish Haiti. Bohio is yet a third indigenous name for the island

Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and the oldest European town in the Americas and if you wish to see one of many UNESCO World Heritage List then, this hotelbye could be the place. Santo Domingo is just a university of cultures and neighborhoods. It's where in fact the looks of living, domino parts slapped on platforms, backfiring mufflers and horns from disorderly traffic. In the center of the city could be the Zona Colonial, where you will discover one of many oldest churches and the oldest remaining European. Also, in the Zona Colonial you might find Gazcue, among the city's oldest neighborhoods, filled up with previous Victorian houses and tree-lined streets.
