Would have been good to know what was so bad during your stay but anyway we believe next time you'll avoid our hotel and we will never find out.

Sir, we clean our pool every day. Manually and with a robot. We believe that you havent seen the design of the tiles on the surface of the water level, they might look as if they are dirty while they are clean.We will change the tiles soon.

Clarence, we are very surprised about your review. Your family loves our hotel and are returning guests as you know.Well, its ok if you dont like the hotel but at least you should be honest with your review. For example, we gave you a clean room but your review makes it look like the nastiest place on earth. I helped you to cancel your booking because you never did as I had avised you. This way I have saved you more than US150. But its ok if you believe that we only deserve the worst for our service.Thank you for staying at least one night!

Response from Gerd on Aug 9, 2023
Thanks. The pool wasnt "dirty" it just turned a little green because of too much rain and we are trying not to use too much chemicals. It was already bright, blue and clear the next day.It would have been better to describe "do some maintenance to the rooms". You had just one room, so how do you know about the other rooms?The way you wrote it (plural) makes the entire place look bad!Our hotel got renovated last year and since that we continuously do maitenance.

We have been staying at this property for years. After the first owner passed away, things have changed. They upgraded the rooms, which is nice, but the beds are still hard as a rock and hurt your back. The rooms need to have a deep clean every so often…there are dead bugs and animals in the lights. The Wi-Fi barely works and constantly kicks you off. We ordered breakfast in the morning and the bacon came out raw. We asked them to recook it. The eggs and potatoes were good, but the sausage was weird. The bread was good. The cleaning staff is nice and the security guard helpful, but we had a issue with the owner over the payment. Expedia said it was $130 for our stay, but my husband paid more than that. When we asked the owner about it he got defensive and said his employee wouldn't do that. I asked for a receipt, but he didn’t have one. Then the employee who took the money came to us later that day to explain. He showed my husband a bill he had never seen and told us not to write a bad review. The pool was dirty when we arrived. I had to clean out the filter and skim it because of the bees in it. It’s not a family friendly place, it’s more appropriate for single older men. We will not stay there again. With the price rising, you can find an Airbnb in the area.
Response from Gerd on Jul 4, 2023
More than one entire day after paying the room she came to our office, saying that her husband has paid US10 too much. I told her that this would be the first time something like this has happened and I will talk to the person who has received the payment. Our employee then told me that he wanted to give back the change of 850 pesos but her husband said he could keep it as a tip (like he used to do in the past years).Now obviously he gave a tip without asking his wife's permission and not telling her.This is a very embarrassing situation for everyone involved and obviously a relationship issue that should be discussed in private and not brought public in this way.I don't give a comment for the rest of the comments. I can only say that, if somebody wants to find problems, this person will find it in any location in the world.All our other comments speak for themselves.

The only thing was that the television and cable network in my room 2 was not functioning well. Even when I was told it was fixed, only few spanish channels were functioning becuse they did not subcribe to any important or English channel. So, it made staying the room boring at times. I hope they will improve on this. Apart from this, the hotel is a nice, clean and fine place. It is just 2-4 minutes walk to the beach. I will lodge there next time.

Response from Gerd on Jul 2, 2023
Thanks for the review and sorry for the problems with the TV.Our subscription includes hundreds of national and international channels in HD and also many major channels in English language.After you have left we have discovered a loose connection of the cabeling outside the room. Its funny because when we were checking the channels it was all good but unfortunately when you wanted to watch TV it was bad. Anyway, next time you stay here you can enjoy TV in English language, too.

Bad Boca Chica Hotel
Horrible experience. It took three rooms before we found one with a working toilet and AC. Clerk didn't know how to operate credit card machine. No airport transfer as advertised.

Response from Gerd on Sep 29, 2022
Sorry for the bad experience but there was absolutely no reason to be impacient and shouting at the staff who charged his credit card and showed him 3 rooms before he was satisfied. I was checking the 2 rooms the next day and all was working!The worst was when the taxi driver told me that he didn't want to pay for the ride to the airport where he started shouting around again. This is not the right way to behave as a guest and I wanted to report that to Expedia.

We had a really unpleasant experience at the previous hotel we stayed and when we came to casa coco we were surprised at how better it was. The owner was really nice and could speak English so it made it easier for me to talk to him and he went out of his way to help us with our luggage and get us settled in and when we were leaving he tried helping us get a taxi at a better price. The room was clean and tidy and I heard the rooms got renovated recently and it shows us here although the tv may need a upgrade since all the channels were in Spanish but i would just be nick picking at this point there were some things I wanted to tell the owner but I forgot to tell him which is my fault for not telling him sooner there’s also a pool and a breakfast only restaurant in the middle of the hotel that’s was close to our room. Although we only stayed for one day if we ever come back to boca chica we would definitely come back here I forgot to ask the owner’s name but thanks for everything.

Okay place to stay
A nice little place close to the beach (couple blocks). The neighbor becomes sketchy after 8pm, and they close front gates for safety. You have to ring a doorbell to get in after the gates are closed. Food prices are not reasonable as might be expected for a poor country, and no fast food chains in the area. Beach is what is expected- beautiful, but has its downsides due to the locals.

This my favorite hotel in RD. It is small and is immaculate. The pool area, surrounded by flowering plant covered walls reminds me a a secret garden image from some children's novel. There are more flowering plants than chaise lounges. The staff here are constantly cleaning and pruning the plants. The owner, who I think is Swiss, cares as much about his hotel as he does about his guests. The restaurant only serves breakfast. The portions are good and the large slices of cantaloupe, mango and pineapple served with most of the menu selections have always been perfectly ripe in my experience. The rooms are very clean and as well maintained as the rest of the hotel. The furnishings are dated but spotless. the shower water pressure is great and the hot water is just that: HOT, not the tepid temperature many, more expensive hotels pass off. This is a great place to stay. The fact that it is also a great value is icing on the cake.
