The Zapata is exactly as advertised. It is a great little hotel on the beach in Boca Chica. My wife and I wanted someplace quiet and local and that's what this place was. At least it was Monday thru Thursday when we stayed before going on to Santo Domingo. It is extremely clean and safe. The one night we had... more

Myself and 8 friends travelled to the Santo Domingo area from May 28th 2009 to Jun 1st 2009. The staff at Zapata are very friendly and professional.....the hotel is kept in great condition....the hotel's private beach is keep in emaculate condition....the presidente's are ice cold and the staff is will do everything they can to make sure you have a... more

Hotel Zapata provides its guests with incredible service, from spotless facilities to wonderful food.

The hotel is spotless from top to bottom. Marta (Owner) runs a tight ship. Jose and the two Mackensie cousins provide teriffic service. The beach is at your... more

Great hotel - everything a family of four could want. We rented the 2 bedroom apartment - very large it was perfect for Mom & Pop and 2 teenage daughters. The staff were always very obliging and helpful. The hotel was spotless - could have eaten on the floors - they cleaned all day, windows, floors, raking the sand -... more

This is the cleanest hotel in which we have ever stayed...and we travel a lot. The hotel is small, the staff friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms, common areas and the private beach area is spotless...at all times. The hotel is located approximately a 20 minute drive from the Santo domingo airport. Taxi service is easily available. It is in... more
