Santo Domingo is not a vacation destination. But if you have to go there, there's nothing nicer than coming back to the Acuarium Hotel for a tasty hot meal, and a dip in the lovely pool. Rooms are basic and comfortable, bathrooms are supplied with towels, soap and paper towel. (no shampoo, shower caps, etc) CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN Kitchenettes are... More

Stayed at this resort between Christmas and New Years, and really enjoyed it. I was travelling with my husband and adult son and daughter. We went into well informed by Trip Advisor reviews, that the neighbourhood was a bit rough looking, but that the resort was nice, and it was! Always a pleasant security guy outside to greet you, and... More

I've been the DR dozens of time and enjoy the all-inclusive experience but sometimes it is more relaxing and definitely more adventuresome outside the big resort experience. It can also be quite affordable. Hotel Acuarium offers meal plans, but it has a full kitchen, a separate living room and bedroom and decent bathroom. It allows us to be able to... More

Second stay there this year - again, great base to explore the city. Very affordable, safe, good value. Don't expect thrills. Make sure to ask for one of the newer rooms (newer not new :))...we made the mistake of asking to be closer to the main hotel part the second time and the room was old and outdated with shutters...

I stayed here for only a few days in June with some unfortunate weather but had a good time. I had booked through RCI and paid for a week but it's such a good deal that checking out early with paid days was still very economical. My room had a mini-kitchen that allowed us to go to some of the... More

At first sight you might have second thoughts about staying here, judging from the outside ruckus that you will see on the weekends. Once inside, you're in another dimension. This hotel is a nice, quaint, comfortable and clean place to sleep overnight or have an extended stay. If you are looking for expensive sheets, towels and luxury soaps, skip it.... More
