Plan my trip from Zona ColonialIdentify the correct hotel
Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando is on Las Damas Street in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City. Hodelpa describes accommodation across historic houses with preserved architectural features. It is a separate property from Hodelpa Caribe Colonial; the chain name alone does not identify the right city hotel.
Plan the hotel collection
Use Nicolás de Ovando and ask for vehicle-access instructions appropriate to its Colonial City location; confirm the full journey and return before booking. CatalinaTrip’s full-day options include transfer, drinks and a Dominican beach lunch buffet; confirm coverage for this property, collection access, boarding location and the complete return arrangements for your date.
Confirm where the excursion vehicle can reach your hotel or street and how to meet it if direct access is unsuitable. Send a building number and host contact for apartments. Keep city sightseeing and a fixed restaurant booking outside the Catalina return window until the full road-and-boat schedule is agreed.
Match the day to your travel party
Nicolás de Ovando guests can keep Colonial City walks for another day and dedicate one whole day to Catalina. Compare snorkeling with diving according to each traveler’s comfort and eligibility. For a mixed activity party or an exclusive boat, request a coordinated proposal and confirm its terms before booking.
Pick your Catalina experience
CatalinaTrip offers the full-day snorkeling tour for US$99 and the diving option for US$149, with or without certification subject to the appropriate introductory plan. Private boat use is quoted separately. Transfer, drinks and Dominican buffet lunch at the beach are included in all options.
Confirm collection before the day
Provide your date, full guest count, children's ages and WhatsApp contact. Ask for the precise entrance, collection time, boat meeting point and return window. Do not assume the hotel operates or endorses the excursion; its official website is cited for identity and location only.
