Elegant, Sophisticated and Wonderful… Hostal Nicolas de Ovando was a refreshing change to most accommodations in Santo Domingo. In my opinion, this is a superior hotel.

Ovando is a very beautiful hotel nestled in the historical Zona Colonial. The building is several centuries old but it is very well maintained and the rooms are top-notch (well mostly).

Amazing construction full of history, welcome drink and several small treats like the cool towels and weather forecast note with candy delivered at the door.

We were staying for 14 nights in an all inclusive in Bavaro but to experience something a little different we escaped to Santo Domingo for 3 nights. The... More
