It was excellent
The light switch to turn on or off. You need to walk to the entrance of the room.
Nada
No servía la TV La chapa de la puerta se atoraba demasiado Muy alto el costo por lo que ofrecen La alberca muy sucia
Staff was good
It was not clear on view when I booked and upgraded, fell short in that regard
LA UBICACION ES EXCELENTE
LA COMIDA ES MUY COSTOSA Y TIENE EXCESO DE PIMIENTA.
The services is excellent
The bedroom has only one light switch, located at the entrance. This means that when you are in bed, you have to get up and go to the doorway to turn off the light. Also, the TV is difficult to turn on.
Localização e ser "pé na areia"
Barulho e falta de uma cortina black-out que isolasse bem a luz. Além disso o café da manhã começa muito tarde.

La ubicacion del hotel cerca de la playa y la amabilidad y atencion de su personal
El poco espacio que tiene para el estacionamiento/parqueo de vehiculo, considero que deberian de tener convenios con estacionamientos/parqueaderos cerca del hotel, con esto, el cliente se puede sentir seguro de que su vehiculo no se encontraria en riesgo por no estar bien estacionado en la calle frente del hotel
Plenty of good seating near the beach and gated. Felt safe.
Getting there was a little sketchy, so just stayed put at the hotel.
Mare stupendo e staff gentilissimo. Consiglio
Absolutamente nada
Es una trampa para turistas, luego de la tarifa que está publicada en Booking ellos te quieren cobrar el equivalente a US$ 100 los cuales no devuelven sino que te los quieren retener en crédito y si te niegas a pagar se quedan con el 100% del monto equivalente a la reserva de un día.
Location was in beach and only blocks from a variety store of bars, restaurants and shops

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour !! Nous sommes déjà venu plusieurs fois, et l'accueil est super !! merci aux responsables de l'hôtel ainsi qu'à Alberto et son frère, à Angel, et tout le personnel pour leur gentillesse et leur professionnalisme !! le petit déjeuner très bien ainsi que les différents repas que nous avons pris à l'hôtel. Propreté impeccable, plage à proximité. Nous avons fait de belles rencontres et nous espérons vraiment revenir l'année prochaine !! Attendez vous à vivre à "la Dominicaine", tout est simple, chaleureux et agréable !! Nous ne sommes pas dans un hôtel comme à Punta Cana, mais personnellement c'est ce que nous apprécions !! Encore merciiiiiii !!
Atención del personal
The property is in a excellent location front beach ic clean . The Hotel provides lounging chairs and tables for their guest . They have drinks and food service brought to you in the beach area , it’s very safe because they have their own security people that cater to the guests and very attentive. You also have the pool if you wish not to go to the beach. It’s a small hotel the hotel has 100% constant cleaning by the maids . The breakfast is included . The breakfast is limited to any style eggs , toast, fruit, coffee juice only. You can order eggs and ham . The rooms were ok , in my room the tv had a screen problem you could only see have of the TV . It was brought to their attention there is a $100 us deposit for any room damage that they charge you CC but when it’s time check out and everything is ok please make sure you get the reversal of credit on your card on the deposit and the receipt to avoid any problems . Other then that everyone in the hotel and other guests very nice the staff professional, helpful on many ways. The hotel is inexpensive so for the money it was fine , safe, clean oh!! The hotel is a restaurant so they offer food for pay reasonable prices and the food was delicious. I had fried chicken with plantains and shrimp with spaghetti food was tasty and delicious 👍
Don’t really have any complaints because to be a small hotel It was very accommodating for the price , safe and the staff the food was good . Only hiccup was the tv in my room had lines couldn’t see the screen they need to change it. Other then that I recommend you go if you are on a budget and want to go to the famous Boca Chica beach in Santo Domingo one of the finest beaches in the Dominican Republic where you can walk one mile or more in in the beach and the water level is at your waist and the waters are crystal clear blue with white sand and always calm like a pool with no waves👍 it’s a pool beach for sure . You will love and your family too 🇩🇴❤️🇩🇴❤️🇩🇴❤️🇩🇴
I love that the business owned by a family
The staff was wonderful
Great staff and location. Will be definitely glad to return.
Le petit déjeuné était très bien, il ne manquait que du bacon de temps en temps on aurait aimé mais c'était quand même très bien. Les employés étaient supers agréables et professionnels comme Octavio, Alberto, Junior etc nous avons reçu un service impeccable, c'était la 3eme fois que nous allions à votre établissement et ça s'améliore d'une fois à l'autre, nous pensons bien y retourner. Tout est très propre partout.
Partout où nous allons dans les hôtels en République Dominicaine, l'eau en bouteille est fournie gratuitement, avant dans votre hôtel Zapata c'était inclus mais maintenant nous devons payer les bouteilles d'eau 50 pesos tandis qu'elle se vendent 25 pesos en ville, de plus ce n'est pas indiqué à nulle part, vous devriez indiquer vos prix pour l'eau et les liqueurs sur le réfrigérateur, ce n'est pas réellement un question de prix mais vos clients devraient le savoir puisqu'on pense que c'est gratuit. Dans les salles de bain en général il manque de tablettes pour placer nos choses personnelles.

We loved the location — you can’t get a better spot for the beach. The staff was amazing, very friendly, and helpful. Special shoutout to Roberto, one of the owners, for making our stay easy and smooth. Also love the food .. they fried fish was amazing ..
Honestly, not much. Everything was great overall and the experience was very positive.
Lage
Im Angebot stand Herd, gab es nicht. Personal sehr desinteressiert, Manager desinteressiert. Frühstück die 200 Euro nicht wert, nie wieder.
The hotel managers speak perfect English. The room is as clean and had one of the best showers I have seen in a hotel with very hot water. You are on the beach and there is a good restaurant 100 feet from the hotel. Boca chica has protected shore so you can wade out 100 yards easily. It is a safe beach area.
I wish I had stayed longer. Very crowded on weekends but Monday to Thursday is amazing
Personal amable y atento
Las facilidades no están en las mejores condiciones, la habilitación le falta confort, la piscina estaba en remodelación, muy ruidosa la zona, los alrededores están sucios y se siente inseguro, la zona de la playa se llena excesivamente. En relación a precio la calidad esta por debajo.

We had an amazing stay at Zapata Hotel. It truly felt like home — cozy, peaceful, and with a secure, closed property. The breakfast was great, and the dinner, made to order, offered nice options to choose from. We also loved that the prices were very reasonable. The owner, Marta, is incredibly kind and helpful. She is always ready to assist — whether it’s exchanging money, helping with transportation, or giving advice on where to go. Her support made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Zapata Hotel and would gladly come back!

Solo el servicio de algunos empleados: Hansel y otro joven que sirve en el Bar. Es higiénico el lugar. Está al frente de la Playa
Primero en la página no dice que hay que dejar un depósito de 6 mil pesos por habitación ( Reservé 2). Este depósito lo perdí porque mi Banco NUNCA vió reflejado el Depósito, que tal vez quedó enganchado y los del Banco del Hotel dicen que sí salió de la cuenta. Pero la dueña del Hotel cuando averigua con su Banco pone que se hizo la transferencia el 16/10/25, le explico que llegué el 18 y salí el 19 y por lo tanto la transferencia fue el 19 y no el 16, por lo que me hastíó tanto averiguar y no conseguir nada, porque me pareció que si hacía la reclamación con la fecha correcta, tal vez obtengo mi dinero... pero lo perdí ( 12,000). Tampoco me había sucedido que me pidieran depósito en ningún sitio anteriormente, que han Sido mucho mejores. Estas habitaciónes son mucho más pequeñas que en otros sitios a los que había ido ( tengo 7 años tomando alojamientos con Booking), y llenas de muchas restricciones. Además uno tiene que acostarse muy temprano. Antes de la 9:00 pm. el vigilante comenzó a apagar las luces y tuvimos que acostarnos, al ratito lo escuchamos en el Pasillo como para comprobar que todos estuviéramos encerrados ( como si fuera un Internado de Monjas), cabe señalar que cuando apagó las luces, estaba yo con mis hijos, y la esposa de uno de ellos, conversando amenamente. Pero antes ( más o menos 2 horas) cuando ordenamos algo para cenar...estaban apagadas las luces y tuve que encender la Linterna del celular, hasta que la dueña al ver lo que hice, les dijo que enciendan la luz. Tampoco me gustó que los dueños ( a veces ambos, o solo la Sra. ), siempre están cerca como si estuvieran vigilando, a parte de lo poco amables que son Tampoco me gustó, que en la tarde, para que limpien la Piscina, hay que anunciar que uno la quiere usar. De lo contrario pareció que no lo hacen por costumbre. Este Hotel JAMÁS se lo recomendaría a nadie: mejor el Calypso que tiene muy muy buen servicio, el Neptuno o algún otro en Juan Dolio. Más de una Estrella no le doy

Ac does not work,roach in the bedroom
LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!The room was perfect, the treatment made me feel like a princess! I only have 3 suggestions: 1- to put a handle on the pool. 2- to have more "criollo" menu options. 3- to keep a good amount of Coke Zero available. The place felt like I was visiting my old relatives' house. So cozy, perfectly decorated and the cleanliness was impecable! I'll definitely stay there my next trip to DR.
Everything
Friendly
I loved that the property was right on the beach. The hotel has tables and chairs as soon as you walk out to the beach and if you ask them they’ll bring out beach beds for you. The property is older but it’s well maintained and definitely gives you old school island vibes. With old paintings and wooden sculptures it reminded me of my grandmothers house growing up.
If I could change one thing I just wish the menu was a bit more diverse and had more options. But the few options they do have are delicious my daughters were obsessed with the shrimp pasta. On our last night I had the tilapia and it was probably the best fish I ever had.
There was a person Cesar speaking French and answering all our questions and needs
Not enough outlet in the bedrooms.
The location of the stay was perfect, literally steps from the beach--we were thankful for that. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff is A-1. The only problem I can say there is with the place, is the size of the beds. If you're on the smaller side, you have nothing to worry about. But if you're on the bigger side and plan on sharing a bed, you better choose a bigger bed
proximity to the beach. The property itself condition was ok for one night.
The staff was very helpful
The room was very basic. The bed was very uncomfortable. They were doing construction out front it was very noisy
If you want peace, quiet, and relaxation… this is the place to be. I’ve stayed here many times and never have been disappointed. Highly recommended hotel!
Old but good.
The service was good. It was too short to properly review.
Great location, right by the beach. Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. Quiet ambience great for relaxation!
Next to the beach and restaurants .
Everything was great
Love it here staff is s very normal very nice
Zapata is a Perfect get a-way. I love it.
The place was excellent, great location off the beach I mean 100 ft from your room. It was clean, staff was amazing making sure your time there was pleasant and wonderful. Even the water in shower was hot. It’s nothing I can say bad about this place. The manager speaks fluent English and keep the place clean. If I’m ever back in Boca Chica this is my home away from home. If
It’s not the Sheraton or Hilton. But it’s very clean and staff was great. But you not paying Sheraton or Hilton money either.
We always come here at least twice a year. The location is great, best beach in Boca Chica, next to the public beach which is usually pretty empty. The new owners are going strong on improving the property. 👍 It's a great place, the staff is awesome, rooms are clean. We live in NJ and Santo Domingo, when we are on the island we make sure to visit. Muy Bien 👍
Great staff and hot shower!!
The breakfast wasn't good
Change it to buffer
Excellent location and the staff is amazing, the facilities are not what you go there for so don’t expect 5 stars but maybe 3 stars establishment. But there is a fabulous restaurant and beach club next door that makes it all worth it and the hotel beach is unbelievable.
The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and enough. the hotel was very clean and front of the beach
The internet was weak all the time
Acceptable
Great location - beach front. Friendly staff always ready to help, for instance, bringing the sun lounger right to the beach :) The attached photo made on the hotel beach territory.
Rooms with windows to the street could be noisy. Definitely take the see view rooms.
The owners are always there and very professional. The staff is very dedicated and professional. Special thanks to "Cesar" for all his help. The location is beach front and an ideal spot.
Good location. Good staff. Clean and safe 👍👍
Nothing to dislike
The pool was not working. The fan made noises and you can not pay in the bar with card. Breakfast was better in 2024.
At the beach
It's really old and basic
