I stayed in 3 rooms at this property recently. First the Felipe was very nice enough room in the bedroom and an awesome large bath. The first day there was a blackout and no running water, so there is that possibility staying at this type of property in Santo Domingo, however the rest of my stay this did not happen. The Felipe did not have a safe which I was told would be available the next time I stayed. The second room I stayed in was the suite Isabel La Catolica. the room was big and beautiful with nice fixtures and large bath. Unfortunately there was an odor in this room that was relentless, also there was no ventilation in the bathroom(possible cause???) I mentioned it to ownership and was told that when it rains the sea rises and causes this odor and all the buildings have it. They proceeded to place a few air fresheners in the room but it helped only mariginally. I would love to know exactly what the odor was and the cause, and its such a shame cause the room is beautiful. I hope they can get it corrected. The third room I stayed was the Juana La Loca Suite. There was no such odor in this room it was beautifully appointed with white furniture and a lovely bathroom with white marble floor tile. Simply beautiful. Although there was a problem with the shower pressure (need a plumber to fix the tub spigot) I had to pull the handle to get any desired pressure. Like I said overall a very nice hotel but needs a few kinks worked out as any new hotel would.
