BE LIVE HAMACA - BOCA CHICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (ONLY 50 KLMS FROM SANTO DOMINGO) My wife and I last visited "Be Live Hamaca" during the period 24 April-10 May 2017. This time was our 28th visit and once again we had a super time....really no complaints. Each year since 1995 we visited Hamaca and so far we have completed a grand total of 439 days together at this one particular resort. Why do we keep going back to Hamaca?....good question. Once again we love the Boca Chica area and to make comparisons we have visited all of the other all inclusive hotels on this particular beach. No kidding.....we found that none could compare to Hamaca for service, affordability, quality and above all...the only private beach in the whole Boca Chica Beach area. "Be Live Hamaca" is a true hidden treasure. In our opinion this hotel is the best all inclusive beach front resort (open 24 hours - 7 days a week) in the Boca Chica area. In addition to the private beach this resort has a good mixture of specialty restaurants. To start....in the centre of the complex you will find the Buffet Restaurant that offers daily changing international menus...then you have the Mexican, Gourmet, Italian and the newly updated Brazilian Restaurants. All of the specialty restaurants offer menus that will excite your taste buds. Also if you are interested in a totally new experience do try the on site "Pelicano Beach Restaurant" which offers a menu that is not included in your all inclusive package...but it is still an affordable experience. Once again our latest accommodations were located in the Presidential Suites. These rooms are super...quiet, spacious, great views and excellent housekeeping services. If you have the opportunity and can afford the extra cash you will not be disappointed in any of the beach area selections. All of the rooms in the main building facing the ocean are special as the view is splendid. We love the salt water so the beach area has always been our first choice...however, if your preference is a beautiful garden area with a super large pool and a swim up bar....then the gardens area should be your first choice. So...if you are truly looking for the best value for your hard earned cash then try this long time favourite. "Be Live Hamaca" is indeed a special place...safe and secure...where you can relax and enjoy your long overdue vacation. This resort offers a totally relaxing private beach...affordable and it is an all inclusive 24/7 resort. The new management along with a super friendly staff are waiting to make you next vacation a most enjoyable experience. So see for yourself....participate or relax...your choice Dominican Fun or Dominican Sun.....do give it a try.....you will be glad you did.

The Beach is fantastic!! We had to change rooms twice. The first room was completely awful. It was old and looked dirty. The bathroom didn't have a door. When changing to a different room, the staff tried to have us sign off all liability for our stay, I work in the insurance industry so I was NOT signing anything of the sort. We came to a compromise and got a different room. Our second room was much nicer, except the air conditioning didn't work and there was no hot water. Our third room was as nice but there was no hot water in that room either. We didn't get any hot water until our 3rd day. We got locked out of our room one day and had to make 4 trips to the front desk to get that problem resolved. The phone in this room didn't work. Part of the ceiling fell, in the Lobby...was SO glad we didn't sign off on the liability!!! Michael, at the front desk, was fantastic with us. As for the food, there certainly was a wide variety. No one should go hungry there.
