Question on Hotel Lomar in Puerto Plata

I will be traveling to Puerto Plata next month and would like to stay at the Hotel Lamar. Does anyone have any recent information. I read this sites info on the hotel but looking for additional information. Do they have in room safes? Does the staff speak at least some English? Does anyone have their address/telephone number?

Thanks James

Phone 819-586-2858, Fax 819-586-5050 - very friendly staff.

Thanks for the telephone numbers. Do you know if they speak English?

It will depend on who answers the phone... simply ask do you speak english? Habla Inglis? And someone should be able to help.

As I recall from friends who have stayed there, there are no safes in the rooms but there are facilities in the reception area. Yes the girl on the switchboard normally speaks English but not many other mermbers of staff do. If you have any difficulties, drop me a line & I will call them on your behalf (I live in Puerto Plata!).

Do not leave messages & ask friends ONLY to speak with you if they phone whilst you are on holiday. Messages sometimes do NOT get passed on!! Good Luck - you should have a good holiday. Turn right out of the hotel, walk 7-8 mins. up the front & the best beach within walking distance is at Cosita Rica open air cafe. Look out for the English woman who feeds the stray dogs down there - she is the source of MUCH good information.

If you don't feel comfy with comments and replies, you can always check Sofy's B&B..... 5 minutes away.... we are here to please and ensure that you enjoy your holiday in Puerto Plata... The Pros... Noelle and Sofy!!!! Cheers

Phyllis,

This phone- and faxnumbers are the same like hotel Porto Fino, is this the same place, using a different name ???

Hi Alex, Lomar is considered the Mother hotel of PortoFino; they share the same reservation desk are a only a few blocks away from each other.

Hi Noelle, I agree Sofy's B&B is great! Very pleasant surroundings, clean and friendly/relaxed atmosphere... not to mention the excellent breakfast served!! I highly recommend your place and your English is perfect!
