Amazing stay!
My stay at Hotel Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando was absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent, the staff was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The hotel itself is a stunning blend of historic and modern elements, with the architecture truly standing out. The colonial-style design adds so much character, and it's a privilege to stay in such a beautifully preserved, centuries-old building. The atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santo Domingo.

The hotel was beautiful and in a perfect location in the colonial district of Santo Domingo
I liked the sitting area in the pool area. There were, round tables under trees lit up at night so we had a place to play games.
