Beautiful hotel very comfy bed and pillows. Best beach experience ever. The barrier reef off shore protects the shore from strong waves [Details]

The strong points
Food was pretty good
Staff were really nice
Massage therapists were very knowledgeable
The weak points
The hotel is only been open 3 months so the staff is still learning the ropes but they really try to please. Maybe More English and French could be helpful to the staff.

We tested the newly renovated Santo Domingo Bay Convention Resort & Casino, and honestly — the vacation turned out exactly the way a Caribbean getaway should be
For many people it's still the legendary Hotel Hamaca, but after the renovation the hotel has clearly started a second life — fresher, more modern, and much more visually appealing.
The location is right in the center of Boca Chica, about an hour and a half from La Romana International Airport. It's a true Caribbean vibe without unnecessary luxury pretension — just the sea, sun, palm trees, and a complete reset from everyday life.
What we especially liked
A very relaxed atmosphere. No one standing over you or hinting for tips — everything feels calm, friendly, and easygoing, the Caribbean way.
The rooms are spacious and clean, with a large walk-in shower and a separate toilet — a small detail, but very convenient.
Wi-Fi works everywhere, even on the beach, and without interruptions. For those who like posting the occasional beach story — that's an important detail
The food pleasantly surprised us. A good selection, everything fresh and tasty. There's also a cozy coffee shop with great coffee and desserts.
The alcohol selection is decent too, but if you're a fan of super-premium drinks, it's a good idea to bring your favorite brands with you
The beach is not huge, but that's exactly what makes it cozy. Just a few steps to the water. The bay is protected by a reef, so the ocean is calm, warm, and almost wave-free. Pure relaxation. [Details]
