Coral Hamaca Beach Hotel & Casino, Santo Domingo

i stood in beleive la hamaca it was a horrible expierence. The food the rooms dirty most of the days there was no water in the rooms to take a shower. You had to wait. The keys of the rooms to open the door did not open. I stood in the hotel 4 years ago and it was great but now it was awful. I would never go back. This is ahotel that i would not take my kid. The pool was dirty. The best thing was the beach.

After reading the horrible reviews on this hotel I was scared to go. I am so glad I went. My husband & I had a blast. The people are friendly, the place looks luxurious. It seems to have recently been renovated. Other than a bit of a wait at check in we had a great time. I guess depending on the time of day you get there your wait can be long or short. Either way, just have a seat & grab some free drinks at the bar. You will get your room & it’s worth the wait. We had the ocean view room. I do recommend the upgrade there is nothing like it. The hotel itself is endless; there is so much to see. The pictures on line don’t do it justice. There is an abundance of food & drinks. I wouldn’t go too crazy though, like in any foreign country, you should watch what you eat. I would defiantly go there again. We loved everything about it.

From the moment I got there I saw that it has changed for the better!! The new addition to the main building is 5 stars all over. The rooms are spacious, the Service is flawless, the staff is always smiling and willing to help. The beach is the reason why I go to DR and this beach is great, is so clean and is very safe. The food is absolutely magnificent, the choices are endless, the flavor to eat until you explode. The new pool is an infinity pool and it also can be used as a lap pool. I just got back fro my week stay and I am already planning my return.

If anyone can help me locate this girl. I stayed at the Hamaca Hotel from Oct. 8 to the 10. I saw this girl earlier in the day and then saw her and her friend again at the Disco Club. The first night I was there I asked her to dance with me and she agreed but shortly after she said she with someone and she could not dance with me. I saw her again the next day at the same club and I asked her again if she was with someone and she she said she was again. The next day on Sunday as I was hanging out at the pool a couple of guys were having drinks at the pool when she arrived around 4 to 5pm and sat right in front of me! I could not stop looking at her as I think she felt the same way, but there were 2 other guys there. Later I found out that those guys were not the ones she was with. Either way she than went into the pool and I kept staring as I believe she did as well. Also, her guy friend came up to me at that point and asked for light for his cigaretter. I was not sure of the situation but it look like to possibly be an introduction. Again, either way than me and my friend were just sitting around watching the volleyball game and later went back to my room. Saw her again later that evening but she was with someone again. Please if someone can provide me even a name I would still like to get to know you better.

i got married in the hotel in 1998, and i have never been so ill as i was that holiday, the doctor on site told us to eat the rice and it was the rice that was infected with bacteria, the whole complex was acceptable but im not surprised by the comments, it is in the middle of the most disgusting place i have ever seen in my life, and to be fair if i was to advise anybody to go there i would say eat only the hot dogs and pizza, in which case you may as well stay and home and fight over who is going to lay under the sunbed..so sad to hear they are still ripping people off all these years later..what a joke !!

Horrible! Paid for an updated beach front..... 1. Bugs in room (including the bed)(lay down a blouse and they covered it) 2. Ceiling leaked 3. Luggage rumbled through and items stolen (medicine & camcorder) 4. Room smelled bad 5. Roof leaked and was partially caved in 6. Construction noise began at 7:30 am 7. No one to complain to 8. My door to adjoining room was opened repeatedly 9. Trip to mall $70 a person 10. Prostitutes everywhere 11. Drinks with no alcohol in them 12. Activities moved without notice 13. Discouraged from going out alone 14. Security walking with shotguns 15. T-shirts $6-21 and dirty etc.

Let me start off by saying, AWFUL! The staff is beyond rude, the food is so terrible I wouldn't let my dog eat it. When we booked our reservations the room described on the web site is a blatant LIE! Our room was filthy and the atmosphere was like being in a wet sock.The bedding was literally wet and there were stains on the walls! They are constructing a new part of the hotel which was a mere 20 feet from our balcony which would start a 7 a.m and finish at 11 p.m. Constant hammering and sawing from the crack of dawn until late into the nite. We complained to the desk for 2 days with no results. The management was completley uncaring to our complaints. You would be better off vacationing in afghanistan. I cannot emphasize any more about the quality of the food,each restaurant was worse than the next. I have been told that the hotel has recently been purchased by new owners and let me just say that they couldn't run a lemonade stand! Save your time and money and under no circumstances should you consider staying here. Plenty of others to choose from.

Very bad management. They should close this place down and start from scratch. Be warned. All the reviews are absolutely true. They over book and put you in lousey room. After spending 2 hours checking in they put us in a room with no working a/c and lots of mosquitos. I spent the next 3 hours killing mosquitos with my 1 year old daughter in the room. After 4 hours, I finally got a room with working a/c. However, I was still killing mosquitos. Never again will I set foot in this hotel. Don't waste your money. It's not worth it.

I must say, I watched the Casino employees take advantage of intoxicated patrons. Thousands of dollars went into casino hands. No winners and a good scam on the casino's version of roulette. Don't go inside. On the good side, the beach is fine. The view is of an oil tanker. Overall, I'd give this place 1 1/2 stars out of 5. Americans would not like this place. T
