Reviews for Hodelpa Nicolas de Ovando
The absolute best experience!
An oasis! We stayed at Nicolas de Ovando on the last night of our trip. We spent the first half at a large all inclusive in La Romana that had terrible service, and walking into Nicolas de Ovando was like a breath of fresh air! The staff was so kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. They helped switch my daughter’s roll out bed to a different room and were so adamant that I know it was no trouble at all. We lounged by the pool and had the best lunch we’ve had all week! The staff were all so knowledgeable about the hotel’s history, and gave us such cool tidbits as we engaged with them. They helped coordinate an airport shuttle. From beginning to end our stay was absolutely marvelous! I truly wish we had spent our entire vacation here instead of only the last night!

Will most definitely come again!
Amazing. Hospitality, cleanliness and amenities were fantastic. As two female friends from the states, we were welcomed warmly, felt safe and enjoyed the beautiful architecture of the hotel. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent ambiance
The environment in the hotel is wonderful. Great ambiance, very relaxing. Everything was clean and the staff is top of the line. The pool, bar and restaurant are great. Onsite parking is a plus. Incredibly useful since parking in the Zona Colonial is very hard.
