We use your details only to handle this enquiry.

Use Novus Plaza and the Hostos location

The operator places Novus Plaza Hodelpa on Hostos Street among the Colonial Zone’s cafés, restaurants and historic sights. The tourism ministry identifies the El Conde corner. Keep Novus Plaza in the enquiry rather than shortening the hotel to Hodelpa: Caribe Colonial and Nicolás de Ovando are other properties. If your documents use a different address format, send the reservation wording so the starting accommodation can be checked.

  • Full Novus Plaza reservation and Hostos/El Conde location
  • Actual booked nights and a clear excursion date
  • Participants, additional hotels and practical access needs
  • Confirmed meals, road instructions and complete return

Separate walking plans from the vehicle connection

A walking-focused city break can leave travelers thinking mostly about nearby streets and landmarks. Saona adds a road connection and a boat itinerary, so ask how the vehicle arrangement serves the hotel before selecting a place to wait. Friends in other Colonial City hotels should name their accommodation too. Share only the confirmed joining instructions and check the return, rather than assuming a convenient café or pedestrian-street corner is an excursion stop.

Choose a clear day within the hotel booking

Novus advertises late checkout subject to availability, alongside fitness-centre access and rooms with desks. Choose an excursion day that fits your actual booked nights, especially if a work appointment or flight follows the stay. Do not build a return-and-change plan around an unconfirmed late checkout. Ask the hotel separately about any luggage or room-access requirement, then assess the excursion’s complete return proposal before adding another fixed commitment.

Choose between Classic and Premium

Prepare meals and the actual passenger group

El Patio offers buffet breakfast with local seasonal products. Check the booked meal arrangements and discuss how breakfast fits once the road plan is known. For the island, list the actual travelers, child ages and dietary needs separately from the hotel reservation. Compare the shared boat formats by stops, shade and seating; ask expressly if your party prefers an exclusive vessel. Review all inclusions and the complete price together.

Questions about this departure

Can we choose a nearby café as the collection point?

Ask for instructions confirmed for your actual booking. A convenient walking landmark does not establish a vehicle meeting arrangement for the Saona road connection.

Can I rely on late checkout after Saona?

The hotel advertises late checkout subject to availability. Resolve your room or luggage requirements separately and avoid attaching a fixed onward journey to an assumed excursion return.

Is Novus Plaza the same as Hodelpa Caribe Colonial?

They are distinct Colonial City properties. Keep Novus Plaza and the Hostos/El Conde location on the request and list any additional hotel used by your companions.
