Hotel Zapata is a must if you are planning to visit the Santo Domingo region. This is more than a hotel-its an EXPERIENCE. Family owned and operated, Zapata is spotless, warm, friendly and very fairly priced (a great breakfast, full of variety, is included). Some have complained about the lack of a pool. Come on...the Caribbean is just outside the... More

The hotel was recommended to me by Jose Sanchez, who was introduced on this forum through the recommendations of others -- I told him what I was looking for and this was the recommended place. After a bit of research, booked it online. Can't... More

I have no idea why anyone would write a negative review of Hotel Zapata. My husband and I just stayed there for the past 5 days and the location was perfect! The staff was very accomodating and friendly and the hotel was absolutely spotless. As for the review about the breakfast, I loved the eggs! What more do you need... More

I was surrounded by a beautiful beach from the moment I left my room and could even enjoy that same view from my room balcony. Boca Chica is always a lively colorful location... More

Stayed here in February 2012. I don't understand all the positive reviews of this place. The free breakfast is eggs only. No toast only bread. You have to keep asking for bread. Always have to ask for napkins, silverware, sugar, salt and pepper. You cannot eat in the rooms. The hotel doors are paper thin. You can have guests but... More
