Batey Hotel Boutique0

Really friendly staff. We had a warm welcome from Eli. Good food in the restaurant.

Location close to beach ⛱ First floor nice place to relax

Booking.com is not clear about the total price on the website. It is much better when Booking.com is showing clearly the TOTAL price (including taxes) on the website

Friendly staff in the hotel, and bartenders were mazing. Great food. Loved the cocktails and ceviche. Air-conditioned spacious room and comfy beds. Pools to cool down if you don't want to meet the aggressive salespeople on the beach. Overall green and romantic atmosphere.

There should be more drinkable water accessible as you cannot drink tap water in DR and one needs much more than 0.5 L per day. The only other thing to be aware of is that if you want to pay by card for your accommodation they charge in pesos at "special" rate, so you end up paying more. I recommend having your amount in dollars in cash to avoid that.

Stayed at this facility twice for several days a week or so apart. Once in a luxurious suite and then again in a more humble accommodation. Both were satisfactory and more than met expectation. Both stays had access to all facilities which are very nice and secure - the restaurant served good breakfast and exceptional meals. Facility adjacent to public beaches but an affiliated private beach about a 10 minute walk along water-front much quieter and calmer place to enjoy drinks, food, and a swim. Major grocery store and bank short 5 minute drive away. Friendly and helpful 24 hour staff.

We actually stayed here twice, each time 2 nights. Girls at the reservation were super nice and helpful, and we actually got an upgrade for our room the second time. Loved both the rooms. The pool downstairs and the jacuzzi on the roof, both, we enjoyed so much. Food at the restaurant is very delicious! There’s a super friendly (hotel)cat hanging around also! For us, this kind of laid back accommodation is just perfect, and it is also very safe place overall, in Boca Chica area. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, one of our favourite hotels in our 10-week trip throughout South America and the Caribbean.

My family and I had a very good experience. The hotel is very secured and it has a gated parking area that can fit like 6 cars, which is first come first serve. Most people rent a taxi from the airport, so I had no problem parking the car every day. I never had to park the car outside, but if I had too, I would have felt comfortable doing so. The place is really close to the beach, you just have to cross the streets and you will be there. What I really like is that the hotel has a very unique atmosphere since it has a nice layout with a lot of plants. The rooms is exactly what I expected for the price we pay, which we only used the rooms to sleep. If we wanted to hang out, we just went to the 2nd floor terrace, which is open and you can see down to the street and take in the fresh beach air and relax. They also have very good breakfast. We were going out to different part of Dominican Republic, so we only ate one time for dinner at their restaurant, which was good food.

While this is not the hotel fault, you will see guys in blue shirts trying to get you to go eat at a specific restaurant and they try to stop cars right on the streets to get to the restaurant. They work on commission, so if they can get you to pay more than the fair price, then they get pay, so be careful. Meaning, only go to a restaurant that has a menu with prices on them, that you can clearly have evidence of what the price is. Because, I have heard of people going to restaurants with old price menu or menu with no price and then they get a bigger bill.

Beautiful little hotel with nice decoration and many plants, comfortable spacious rooms with good air-con. Great to have the swimming pool and the jacuzzi. Restaurant also served very good food and cocktails. The hotel manager was also receiving guests, super welcoming and friendly, taking time to show us around the hotel. It is a pleasure to meet someone who obviously likes and takes pride in her work. It was the perfect place to stay for our last night in Dominican Republic. Having a secure parking inside for our rented car was a plus.

Nothing

The breakfast was amazing…especially the Dominican breakfast. The banana mush (sorry, forgot the name) covered in onions was delicious. Never tasted anything like it. Hot water in shower was perfect. Bed size was as well. Patio on second floor is nice to watch people or have a cigarette. I would also like to recognize the lovely young lady who worked at the front desk. She went out of her way to get me refunded my breakfast as I did not know it was included. She also presented herself very professionally in how she dressed and was definitely a great reflection for the hotel.

The internet. The internet was not good at all. It would constantly go in an out or not work at all. Maybe it was just the location of my room but something needs to be done to ensure connectivity works in every part of the room.

I had a last minute check in late at night, which was no problem. Staff speaks English which made that comfortable and easy for me. The beds are memory foam, incredibly comfortable. The foliage on the property is very beautiful. The staff in the restaurant as well as the bartenders were exceptional and the food is absolutely tasty.

The first room I stayed in number seven needs a replacement bed and it’s a very small room, so I switched rooms and was very pleased.

Very central location. The hotel has an exquisite decoration full of local paintings. It is build up on different levels.

The bedroom we had was only offering a window on the end of a hallway where we felt our privacy was not the best when curtains were open. Kitchens doors are directly in the hallway between the rooms and the restaurant. Even though the location is super central, Boca chica is a place where you feel a constant hassle because of prostitution. The beach was filled with littering.
