Hotel Garant & Suites

On Boca Chica's sun-soaked shoreline — a small luxury hotel just steps from the sand. About 1,200 feet (0.5 mi / 0.8 km) from Boca Chica Beach and La Matica Island, minutes from the Nautical Club of Santo Domingo and a short drive to Caucedo Port and Las Americas Intl. Airport (~11.3 km / 7 mi).

This boutique property houses 20 air-conditioned guestrooms with private furnished balconies, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Rooms have showers and hair dryers; many perks are front-desk ready — concierge service, onsite terrace and a compact, small-luxury vibe that’s ideal for beach-bound travelers who like a little polish with their sand.

Soak up the sun at the outdoor pool or keep up your routine in the fitness center. The hotel also offers a terrace, picnic area and a casino on the premises, plus free self-parking and complimentary wireless internet — handy for planning excursions at the tour desk or lounging by the pool.

Features include a business center and computer station, dry cleaning/laundry services and a 24-hour front desk. Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant serves satisfying meals and there’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Complimentary cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily from 8 AM to noon, and a cluster of nearby beach bars (listed as 10) keeps nightlife within easy reach.
