After having read many reviews a couple months prior to our travel, we were a bit skeptical about what to expect. Knowing beforehand that the Dominican Republic is a poor country and that their standards are very different from American hotels, it helped a lot. To begin, the hotel is only about a 10 minute drive from Las Americas Airport,... more

Three years ago I stayed at a Hilton property in Santo Domingo. While this is no longer a Hilton property based on the four star rating and my previous experience I booked two rooms on 4/1/09 for a 5/22/09 - 5-25-09 stay. I informed the hotel one week in advance of a late checkin, the need for rooms to be... more

May is a bad month because it rains in the afternoons in Boca Chica and the Santo Domingo area-----but don't expect that customer service will answer your calls at the Hamaca when you are stuck in your room with no towels or toilet paper like we were---I called five times over a four hour period and everytime I was told... more

We had a nice family vacation staying at the Oasis Hamaca. We switched to this location at the last minute due to the swine flu in Mexico, our original destination. It's always nice to visit a new country and put another pin on the map. Here's the lowdown, including everything I wish I had known before we left. Location -... more

the hotel was ok.. so it's not a 4 star hotel based on american standards but it was decent. it was very clean. there's no elevators and the food wasn't that great but hey you get what you pay for. all the people hawking tours and products was annoying but that's what happens at resorts... everyone should know that. the... more

When we arrived there was no power, we happened to have flashlights so we were able to see around our room. Having read on trip advisor about the condition of the "older" part of the hotel, we did pay an additional $50 per night to upgrade to a premium room. Otherwise we would have been in the tower accross the... more

The hotel itself is beautiful, very nice gardens and the decor in the rooms is pleasant (even though not very modern). The beach was very clean, and at least in June there was plenty of space and loads of empty sunbeds available. The view from the beach wasnt one of the nicest, as it gave directly to an industrial harbour.... more

Part of a business trip - conference. The deal included meals, plus 2 beers and 2 waters free each day in the room each day. Mini-fridge that had the beers was never working despite my complaints. Didn't get the beers until the 2nd day; only after I stopped room service to fix that piece. The minifridge cabinet was so hot... more

Ok...so yes, its a 3 or 3.5 star resort. Expect that and you will be very happy when you get there. Some people on here obviously forgot this is a 3rd world country. The people are very nice there. The resort is divided by a road. You have the beach side (which is the older side where most of the... more
