Hotel La Llave Del Mar — Hotel in Santo Domingo

The hotel was right on the ocean, at the edge of the Zona Colonial and near the big casinos in the other direction. 3 friendly guys run the place -- Luis, who I think is the primary owner and speaks good English, Juan, his brother in law, and Manuel, his cousin. They were all super nice. The room I took was on the second floor with a small terrace overlooking the Malacon and the ocean right on the other side of the street. (there is no swimming there). No food served there right now but they had a restaurant that may reopen soon. Go out the front door, turn right, then right again, walk 2 short blocks and there is a great and cheap restaurant on the other side of the street on the corner. Sorry I don't remember its name. ||||Hotel La Llave Del Mar was excellent for a moderately priced hotel. Super...

The first room I was given was really bad, but once I complained I was given a nicer room that everything worked. The attendant would not except my credit card said the machine was broken so, I asked for a receipt. He tried to give me an excuse that I didn't need a receipt that this was a credible business. The room was one star, no complaints I think it was worth 40 dollars US . the sitting area has a wonderful view of the ocean just sit there and relax...

I will highly recommend Hotel La Llave Del Mar, because of it's great location. Very good restaurants very close by in walking distance. Also a grocery store right around the corner.The staff and personnel are very friendly and always willing to give you great advice. For a small fee you can ask for pick up service at the airport. The rooms are very cozy and also there's a little fridge. Luis Eduardo, Juan and Manuel, they always make you feel...
