The translation is as follows:
In order to confirm you reservation, we ask for a deposit. We have accounts that accept pesos in dollars here in the DR and an account in the US with Citibank for wire transfer of funds.
I took the liberty of adding the last part as this is based on my experience here in the DR working with some businesses and banks. I personally think doing a wire transfer is relatively innocuos in that you don't have to give out your credit card number, on the contrary the hotel gives you their info and you go to your bank and do the wire transfer to them - very common here.
You just need to make sure that it is a reputable hotel ie, did a friend recommend it to you or was it found by a web search? If the latter, post a thread on the forum to see if anybody here has stayed there before.
