Javilla Tours terminus is on the Northern edge of the city. Their buses are basic, local style, and stop at every village en route or anywhere else on demand. Don't use if you are in a hurry or want comfort or have luggage. Do use if you are traveling light, it is not a hot day, and you want to experience a bit of local color. Riding Javilla Tours I have had an infant dumped in my lap to look after and, very briefly, a cage of chickens. At the Pto Pta end they go as far as the Hospital (where you could change to a publico if travelling on towards Field of Dreams or Sosua) , then circle back through the town to their depot at La Javilla. One advantage of this bus is, if going to Blackbeards, they will stop at the entrance to Costambar on demand.
Caribe Tours use modern, air-conditioned buses (often very cold inside so take a sweater). They have two termini in Santiago. One at Las Jardinas on the SE side of the city and one at Las Colinas on the Northern edge. At the Pto Pta end they have a terminus in the city not far from La Javilla. The same bus then continues after a 20 minute wait to Los Charamicos. They won't stop anywhere on demand.
Metro also use modern, air-conditioned buses (also very cold inside so take a sweater). They have a terminus in Santiago at Las Jardinas and another in Pto Pta on Calle Beller inland from La Sirena. Their buses continue on to Sosua. They have the advantage of finishing in El Batey in Sosua rather than in Los Charamicos. They won't stop anywhere on demand.
Don't rent a car unless you really need one to get to otherwise inaccessible places. Public transport in the DR is very cheap.

1/2 block from the Aloha Sol is the Hodelpa Centro Plaza Hotel. I have stayed at the Centro Plaza and entered with guests without a problem. Price of the Centro Plaza is about $100 per night, free wifi, free breakfast buffet. If you stay at the centro plaza you can use the pool at the hodelpa el gran almirante hotel.
Alberto Suites, Hotel Platino are other options in Santiago. Alberto Suites seems it is about 5 blocks from the monument, price I have read is in the $50US range (I have not stayed there). Hotel Platino was chica friendly the one time I stayed there, I paid about $65US, it is not really close to the monument, it is across the street from a large University.
