My friend and I are looking for a budget hotel for three to four days in the Dominican Republic. We haven't decided yet what we want more: to stroll around Santo Domingo or to swim in the sea and sunbathe. But we definitely plan to get up early, so we are looking for great places with breakfast, so we won't have to search for a snack early in the morning. The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on December 06, 2024.

Another hotel in Juan Dolio with various activities in the morning and evening, a swimming pool, and several restaurants that serve a good breakfast.
While some guests found the breakfast buffet to be poor, others considered it quite diverse. You can find freshly squeezed juices that can be mixed to your taste, various egg options, fruits, toast, and pastries. What is unanimously praised is the service. The staff is very caring and attentive to the guests.
The hotel is located on the beach, and we like that, we would like to spend a lot of time on the soft sand and splash in the sea. It takes us about an hour to get to Santo Domingo, where there are several museums and a fortress to visit.
I like the bright decor of the rooms — it sets the mood for a sunny vacation. The standard rooms have a garden view, while the Deluxe and Superior rooms have a sea view, and they also have a balcony. All the necessary amenities will be here as well.
First of all, I would like to note that this hotel has a spa, and my friend and I can spend a few hours enjoying massages, a sauna, and a jacuzzi. There is also a gym to help keep fit. Many active activities await us on the beach, such as snorkeling and kayaking. For young guests, the kids' club operates from morning till evening with various indoor and outdoor activities. Throughout the day, the hotel hosts events: yoga, Zumba, football, volleyball. Evening entertainment is also held regularly. For lunch and dinner, there are three restaurants with menu service. The only drawback is that there is only one hour in the morning allocated for dinner reservations, which means long queues.
A beach hotel in a quiet location and not far from the airport is great, very convenient. We are satisfied with the breakfast, and the various entertainment options will keep us from getting bored.

A small city hotel is located near the most interesting historical attractions. Breakfast is served à la carte here, and judging by the reviews, the food is very tasty.
Breakfast is served from 8 to 11 AM in the charming inner courtyard - under a canopy with fans or in the open air. We can order a traditional Dominican or classic French option. Yes, the selection is small, but guests highly praise the food. It may get boring after a week, but it is quite suitable for three to four days.
You couldn't ask for a better location for sightseeing. The hotel is located in the Zona Colonial area and within walking distance, we will have several museums, beautiful parks, old buildings, fortresses, and churches.
Various types of rooms are offered for accommodation. Standard rooms are small and consist of a bedroom, a balcony, a bathroom with a shower and toiletries. There is a TV, refrigerator, and iron. Some will also have a sofa and coffee maker. In the suites, there is a separate living room and kitchenette.
Here we can swim in the pool and relax on the loungers. There is also a rooftop lounge area with sofas, a jacuzzi, and a pool table.
Cozy small hotel. The location is perfect for taking a stroll through the historic district for a few hours after a hearty breakfast.

A budget option for travelers who want to stroll around the city, see the sights, and shop. That is, for people like us.
The continental breakfast at the hotel is simple but delicious. The menu includes toast, cheese, ham and sausages, pancakes, eggs, oatmeal, fruits, juices, and coffee. An extra plus is that it is served in the garden among flowers and trees.
This hotel is located right next to the previous one, which means the location is also perfect for walks.
The rooms are quite small, but they have what you need for comfort. There is a bedroom, a bathroom, and a balcony. You will find a refrigerator, a television, a hairdryer, and toiletries available.
Guests note the good service and friendly staff. The hosts are a married couple who greet visitors and are ready to fulfill their requests. There is practically no entertainment here, except for the relaxation area and a cozy garden. But that is exactly what you expect from a small city hotel.
Great value for money. If you are staying for a short time and plan to do a lot of walking, this is a wonderful place to spend the night and have breakfast.

Another budget city hotel located in a quiet area. Here the restaurant is open all day, and in the afternoon the bar is open.
The hotel offers breakfast in a buffet style, which is not very diverse but overall decent. You'll find juices, coffee, sandwiches, toasts, omelets, and fruits.
The hotel is located in the city center. It is a 20-minute drive to Zona Colonial with historical landmarks. We would also like to visit the Botanical Garden, which is no more than a 10-minute drive by car. And if you are vacationing with children, I recommend a trip to the zoo, which is also a 10-minute drive away.
Rooms in the hotel are quite standard. They have one or two beds, a bathroom with a shower, a table, a television, an iron, and air conditioning. In reviews, guests mentioned that the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. If the windows face the street, it can be a little noisy.
The hotel has a relaxation area and a small conference room. The breakfast restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner. There is also a bar, which is open from 4:00 PM to midnight.
Another good budget hotel option where you can start your day pleasantly and relax comfortably in the evening.

This small hotel is part of the Club Hemingway complex. The rooms have a full kitchen and you can cook for yourself, but for breakfast, we will definitely go to the restaurant with a great buffet.
The hotel offers a good, though not very varied, selection of breakfast dishes: fresh juices, fruits, yogurt, eggs, toast, cheese, ham, pastries, and more. You can put together something familiar and favorite for yourself. The selection of vegetables is limited, if that matters to you.
Hotel Casa Hemingway is located in Juan Dolio — it is an hour's drive from Santo Domingo, which means we will dedicate at least one day to sightseeing. There is a nice beach nearby with palm trees, white sand, and coral reefs.
The rooms here are spacious apartments with one or two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, a bathroom, and a terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is also a washing machine. Such rooms are perfect for long-term stays.
The hotel is part of the Club Hemingway complex, so guests can enjoy the amenities throughout the area. These include five outdoor pools, horseback riding lessons at the equestrian center, playing regular and padel tennis, and training in the fitness center with views of the beach and the sea. There is even a chapel on the premises. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed in one of the five restaurants, including one on the beach with beautiful views and even over the water.
I like that the building is located in a quiet place, near the beach, yet not far from the airport and capital attractions. We'll start the day with a delicious breakfast, and then we'll head to the beach, for a morning workout, or go for a walk around the city.
