Laid back vibe. Friendly staff

The location is bang on the beach, the room was surprisingly fresh and well decorated compared to the shabby looks of the rest of the property. Also the staff is friendly
The room doesn't have a window (only a tiny one in the bathroom overlooking the ugly roofs around) and for nearly USD 60 is poor. Moreover, the car park is not really a car park, it's an interior courtyard just enough for one car and if you have a rented car, you'll be worried someone might scratch it when carrying sharp objects around it.
Also the main street outside turns night time into pleasure street with loads of prostitutes, etc

Could be more modern

It's a nice little hotel if you keep in mind the price. Extremely relaxing, beach right in front, great service, and clean. Looking forward to coming back!
I agree people smoke in the restaurant area. However, it's an open area (right outside).

The Boat House must be the best place to stay in Boca Chica. It is right on the beach, with a nice open restaurant and bar where you can chill all day and night. The room I had was good, basic but very comfortable, including the bed and the shower.
The price is a bit steep for this basic hotel in my view. And Boca Chica is not what it used to be, it is really run down...

This place is great!! Literally on the water and close to everything you need. Staff was amazing and the owner extremely professional!! I can't wait to go back. Very reasonable price as well.
I liked everything.

overpriced for this location, dirty, smelly (rancid), looks great on the pictures, in fact it’s disappointing, especially in concern of the high pricing, beach view in fact is nice, but on the back of the hotel is a very “busy/low income” area.

Wonderful location (right at the beach front), very friendly staff (helped us with our travel arrangements and walked with us to the bus stop), great food (anything we tried was gorgeous).
Facilities are quite old and Boca Chica does not seem to be the safest place in Dominican Republic, but we enjoyed it for a short stay right at the beach.

this place was very close to the airport, and right on the beach. the included breakfast was really good.
This place needs a lot of updating in the room. the ceiling fan made a loud scraping noise, the furniture is old and beat up, the bedding was thin and stained, there were loose light switch plates and a hole in the ceiling at the ceiling fan canopy, and the room was not entirely clean.

Yeah, I finally got lucky! When I arrived the owner of the complex gave me an upgrade to "the penthouse". Awesome. It does not happen to me a lot, so happy to have experienced that here in this stay.
To summarize :
+Place directly connected to the beach.
+++Great views all day long !
++Good food. I think best food of the street. Try the vegetable soup very good (little spicy).
++++Cold beers
+++++Good place to work remotely from (I can recommend this place for digital nomads) they have a large terrace with fast WiFi and power plugs outside.
++++It is secure. The place is gated and has a guard.
+++They also have (long term) apartment rental connected to the bar and restaurant which makes it excellent!
+Good music.
++English/Dutch/Spanish spoken. (maybe even more languages, but these I know for sure)
+Everything you need is around, a small grocery store, a pharmacy, bars, bus stops, a bank, all is there. Just a larger supermarket is 4 blocks away.
++If you need a reliable driver (from the airport) ask the boat house for Paco. He is very reliable and drove me around and to and from the airport. Very reliable and safe. Speaks also English.
+Just 10 meters outside the boat house the bar street begins, so you are very centrally located. Every night at 7pm the street transforms in a bar street with tables etc.
If I am going to do more remote work, I for sure will stay here for a while. Safe, reliable, good food, fast WiFi. Apartment is cleaned daily.
Well, I did not complain about it. So it is not really a complain, but the AC could be a little improved I think, it does not cool so much as it could I think. Just as a tip.
