We only spent one night at Zapata after leaving Santo Domingo, to get a feel for a local beach. It is a nice, small hotel, on the best part of the beach. We took the basic double room, small, but adequate. The bed and pillows were fine. The bathroom was decent sized, and everything was very clean. Be sure to... more

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

Hotel Zapata provides its guests with incredible service, from spotless facilities to wonderful food. However, what I find most appealing about the hotel is that it provides all of this relaxation while still offering a true cultural understanding of the Dominican Republic. I am of Dominican descent and can say that I feel so at home in this hotel. The... more

Before staying at the Zapata I read almost all the reviews and was very pleased so I took a chance and stayed at the Zapata and was very pleased to say the least! First I made reservations via the internet and I also emailed and got a fast response. That was my first good impression before I even got on... more

I loved Hotel Zapata. The hotel is really clean. Mercedes, the cleaning lady, does an excellent job. Our room was very close to the beach. A very basic room, but cozy, with AC, and TV (many channels are in English). Because the room is so close to the beach, we did experience some insects (but Mercedes took care of it... more

Most of the previous reviews are spot on, except we were never accosted by prostitutes in Boca Chica, The hotel accomodations are modest by American standards and very good by Caribbean standards. 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
