Aparta Hotel Azzurra

This property Azzurra Aparta Hotel is not the best. It is very close to the beach and the night life also SDQ airport is close, that is all that is good about it. The front desk staff are not helpful at all. The rooms are not that new or great. The AC is very low and cannot be adjusted. Do not stay more than two days max.

Me and my husband stayed here our last night in DR. We were looking for a short stay near the airport. Checking in at 6:00pm and leaving at 3:00am for our flight. We wanted to save money and this looked from the pictures like it could be decent. It was AWFUL. It was not safe, they only took cash, the area was completely deserted and had very little dining options. To top it all off no Ubers would do pick ups here so we got a taxi through the hotel. It was very close to the airport, the hotel said the taxi would be very little... The Taxi driver refused to share the price and kept saying don't worry it's a little you have enough... Then he proceeded to charge us $40 US DOLLARS for a 2 mile ride... Save yourself the hassle, spend a little more, and DO NOT STAY HERE.

We arrived late into our hotel because our flight arrived late. Checked in the hotel at 11 p.m. and had no issues checking in. The front desk doesn't really speak very good English but I already downloaded "Google Translate" on my phone and if I had a question I just typed it on my phone and it would translate it to Spanish. We got situated in our room which had 3 double beds. The room was clean. We only stayed one night which is what I would recommend. Our room did have a small kitchenet off the room which was a plus but we didn't use it. The only downfall was the bathroom drain in the shower didn't really drain properly. If you are staying for one night, it is fine but longer I would not recommend. We did have the continental breakfast which was really good. They were friendly and curious regardless of the small language barrier. It is defiantly one of the nicer hotels in that area. Every other hotel/apartment isn't as nice as this one. I would come back if it was just for one night. We transferred to our resort the next day. Check out was a breeze and thank you again for a great short stay! PS If you don't get a Wifi code during check in, you can ask the front desk. I had to ask with Google Translate but they understood what I was asking.
