RESIDENCE EL CANDIL BOCA CHICA  

Reserve the Residence El Candil Boca Chica

Residence El Candil Boca Chica is only 8 km from Las American international airport and 29 km from the capital (Santo Domingo). It is built in the colonial style, and comprises 24 apartments. Each apartment is finely furnished, air-conditioned, with a refrigerator, cable TV, a fully equipped kitchen, hot water, a telephone and a safe.

Anyone wanted a holiday in a 'home from home' can choose from a range of apartments of different sizes (from a two-storey apartment to a studio). The Residence has its own swimming pool and bar and a reception.

The Residence is secure and spotlessly clean. There is a night guard service and all the apartments are cleaned daily.

The Residence is centrally situated, in a quiet part of the town. Guests wishing to savour the more picturesque aspects of the night-life only need to stroll 100 metres away to Duarte Street, with its bars, discos and restaurants serving both local fare and international cuisine. Only 150 metres away, in an enchanting bay of Boca Chica , is a superb beach protected by coral reefs, known as the world’s largest natural swimming pool. 100 metres further away is the Casino, and nearby are banks, shops, art galleries, pharmacies etc. But we also have everything that cannot be seen: the personal ability of the guests to discover and invent things for themselves.

El Residence Candil was the lantern which pirates used during the night to make their way to the island.

Santo Domingo is one of the few places in the world where disappearing cultures are still to be found and the latest technologies are now becoming established. Christopher Columbus arrived in the Dominican Republic, and that was when the history of mankind embarked on a new voyage towards an unknown universe. So much of what you can see here has remained unchanged since Colombus's time, giving it a timeless fascination.

There is one place more than anywhere else where beauty merges with untamed nature, magic with progress, myth with ritual. Here the sea has three colours: black, merging into deep blue and then green. It is called BOCA CHICA.

It is somewhere to suit everyone, because everything you could possibly look for is here. But for travellers who do not consider themselves 'tourists' it is a place in which to let you mind run wild, fascinated by all the features of an ancient culture.

EL CANDIL is at BOCA CHICA, and our ambition, if we have the pleasure of receiving you as our guests, is to offer you a period of 'creative leisure', giving you the opportunity to feel at home and relaxed, accompanying you in this unique adventure of discovery. The adventure of coming to know a place, its people, and its extraordinary beauty and charm.

BOCA CHICA BEACH

Boca Chica was originally developed by Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos, who established sugar plantations there in the early twentieth century. Vicini was very fond of the place but the golden era of Boca Chica was in the 1950s, when dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo ordered the construction of a modern hotel named "Hotel Hamaca," which subsequently became something of an icon. The hotel got all the more famous because it was there that Trujillo granted asylum to Fulgencio Batista after the Cuban Revolution.

During the 1950s and the 1960s, prominent families of the Dominican Republic built several summer properties along the beach only accessible by private transportation.

After the 1970s, the beach became more and more popular and public transportation helped to make Boca Chica a very populated beach; it was no longer secluded and quiet, as it had been during the '50s and '60s.

The short distance from the capital city of the Dominican Republic, the crystalline waters and the white sands, turned Boca Chica in the most crowded beach of the Dominican Republic specially on weekends and holidays because is 19 miles (30 km) away from Santo Domingo. Boca Chica has two small islands, Los Pinos and La Matica, and two marinas.

Boca Chica beach has immaculate fine sand. You can walk in the water and the depth will barely change, the water will be to your waist (or a little bit over) all the time. It's the most family friendly of all the Dominican Republic beaches.

There are lots of bars, restaurants, pizza stands, very tacky souvenirs stalls and loud music all day long; all this along the beach sand very close to the shore.

In recent years, the town has become overwhelmed with tourists from North America and Europe, especially during the months of December through April. It is one of the better places to enjoy swimming in the warm Caribbean waters. The town of Boca Chica, after dark has a notorious reputation. Later in the evening, the family friendly town transforms itself into a town of party bars and prostitution. However, the notorious reputation is ill deserved when compared to other “hot spots” in the area.
