Beach Hotels & Resorts in El Soco from NZ$211

"Amazing "

"This place was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was AMAZING and entertaining. The buffet food wasn't bad but wasn't great. The reserved meals we had were the best meals of the week. We were a little disappointed we didn't know to reserve dinners the first night, so most of us had to eat the buffet every day. Next time, I will try to reserve BEFORE I get there. Also, we reserved the catamaran, and the guy running it gave our reservation to someone else and wasn't friendly. Other than that, it was the best birthday EVER!!! The drinks were excellent, and the activities were fun. The entertainment staff really made it an experience to remember. Our rooms were always cleaned and stocked. I will say the electricity went out a few times but always came back within 5-15 mins. Remember, this is still in the Dominican Republic. This never bothered us or got in the way of our good time. It WAS a heavy storm when it happened."

"This is superb place if you like luxury and great service at all price ranges. The service, the location, the quality are unmatched"

"Excellent customer service people are very personable and helpful "

"Hotel Hemingway was a beautiful place, short walk across the street to their sister property Club Hemingway with access to the beach and short walk to an excellent Argentinian restaurant called Paladart. Service was excellent from the gentleman at front desk (sorry I forgot his name). There is some construction on a sidewalk in between the hotel but they were done by 5ish."

"Hodelpa is a nice place with great staff. All inclusive is not at the level of others, but you are not paying a huge All Inclucive fee either. It is not all day eat and drink. The price reflects this. It is very adequate for anybody not wanting to worry about eat and drinks. We were in a group of about 25 people and everyone was satisfied with what you get for the price paid. As I stated earlier the staff is great. Hodelpa is an old Embassy Suites. So if you have ever been to one of those you should understand both the building and room layout. I won't say it is a negative, but they do have music and some kind of entertainment that goes until about 11pm each night. Depending on where your room is and if you want to go to sleep before that time, you may be bothered. We just accepted it and figured it is the Dominican way. They like to have a good time. The Hotel is set within a private residental community. It is quiet and safe. Once again the staff were GREAT."
