“We Really enjoyed our stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stood with my boyfriend, and we thought it was really comfortable, peaceful, and clean. I would say the hotel caters to the business world. Not a hotel for families or for those who wish to party. Romantic stay, yes, business yes...overall a pleasant hotel. The staff was very friendly, and go out of their way to help you. I'm easily sold when it comes to service.

We used this hotel as a supplier and our experience has been excellent. Service staff, the care and detail they have with their guests are exquisite. Their Hospitality, good manners and above all human warmth. Their Breakfast is Just Delicious, very complete with a lot of options to choose.It is the best option when you think of a hotel to stay in Santo Domingo.

“Not a great hotel for the money.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here for a business trip and picked this place because of the inclusive breakfast (which was good) and the wireless Internet, the Internet never worked properly and the tv from the early 90's did not work during my stay. Lucky for me I only booked two nights of my 4 night stay and switched to the Jaragua Renaissance and gave up free breakfast and wireless Internet for comfort and better working high speed wifi. Do not book this place if you are looking to work from hotel or comfort.

Dear Mrs. Rjrmia,

Thank you for taking your time in writing a feedback on your experience at Occidental El Embajador. We count on guests comments to provide a flawless service. Unfortunately, I regret you happened to stay at the hotel during the week when we made major changes. Indeed, Monday we finished replacing all the televisions in the guest rooms, all our TVs are now 42” flat screen .
Also at the same time, in order to guarantee an excellent internet service, last week we switched the internet cable connection to Wi-Fi and like any technical change, this caused a temporary inconvenience of which our guests were notified upon check-in.
However we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the buffet breakfast, and I trust we will have another opportunity to serve you in the future.

If there is anything I can assist you with on a future at Occidental El Embajador, please feel free to contact me.

Aurora Sagredo.

“Great multipurpose place with Caribbean charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

I was in the hotel for 2 months last year for a business trip and have come back (being 2 more months, also for business) for several reasons:
- large and super clean rooms
- gorgeous pool area
- nice restaurant in garden (btw, huge garden!)
- superb location at downtown (walking distance of several restaurants)
- good breakfast with variety of meals
- superb service
- complete business center
- ...
Next time I visit Santo Domingo for business or pleasure, I'll stay in this hotel for sure!
