This might be one of the most well appointed hotels in all of the Dominican Republic. We really loved our stay and will definitely be coming back. The food, the quality of the service, the bar, the pool, the rooms. All excellent and within great proximity to everything that we want to do in Santo Domingo. I highly recommend this place.

Definitely a fine hotel. On this stay I did not like 2 things. I requested sea view and got a view of the back parking lot Also the Ambasador check in took one hour or so. I arrived at the hotel at 1 but was not allowed to check in. Then when I was finally allowed to check in it took forever. finally got to my room at around 5 pm. They should assign more people to do check in from 3-5 Since I did not feg
