Dominican Republic
Digital concierge for hotels in the Dominican Republic
Estevano runs in the Dominican Republic at Santo Domingo Bay, which uses it every day with its own app.
Estevano is already live in the Dominican Republic. Santo Domingo Bay uses it every day with its own branded app on the App Store, connected to Oracle OPERA Cloud with read-only access. In the last month, 800+ requests and 5,000+ messages in guest conversations went through Estevano there. Production data for the last 30 days, as of 23 October 2026.
Is there a digital concierge for hotels in the Dominican Republic?
Yes. Estevano is an AI concierge for hotels: it looks after guests through the hotel's app and routes every request to the right department as a ticket with a priority and a status. In the Dominican Republic it's already in production. The full case is at Santo Domingo Bay.
What Santo Domingo Bay uses every day
This is what the resort uses day to day, checked in production:
- The AI chat that opens the ticket. The guest writes and Estevano opens a ticket for the right department.
- Tickets with a priority. Normal, high or urgent, so urgent ones don't wait in the queue.
- Alerts on the team's phones, on iOS and Android.
- Room service from its own menu. Every order becomes a ticket for the team.
- Restaurant and spa bookings, across several outlets, each with its own menu and hours.
- Its own app, with its name and brand, on the App Store.
It reads in-house reservations and guest profiles from OPERA Cloud via OHIP every few minutes. That way every request is tied to the real room and booking, and Estevano writes nothing back to the PMS.
Six languages
A hotel in the Dominican Republic welcomes guests from many countries. With Estevano, guests use the app in Spanish, English, French, German, Portuguese or Italian, and the concierge replies in whatever language they write in. The team console is in Spanish and English.
If the hotel wants the phone covered too, Estevano Voice answers calls in up to 6 languages, the ones each hotel chooses.
Resorts with several restaurants
At an all-inclusive resort, one question that comes up every day is where and when to eat: which restaurant is open tonight, whether the specialty one has a table and at what time. In Estevano, each restaurant has its own menu, hours and sittings, and guests book against real tables. If there's nothing free, the app offers another restaurant in the hotel with room that night.
The team sees the day's bookings in the console and marks who turns up and who doesn't. What each board basis includes depends on each resort and is worked out with each hotel. There's more in room service at an all-inclusive resort.
Confirmations by WhatsApp
Bookings are confirmed by WhatsApp and email, under the hotel's name. That's how Santo Domingo Bay sends its confirmations. Guests who message the hotel on WhatsApp get the link to the app to carry on there.
How to get started
We onboard you hands-on and you can be live in days. If your hotel runs Oracle OPERA Cloud, Estevano connects read-only and you can revoke access at any time. If not, you can start without integration and check guests in from the console.
Plans are Essentials, Pro and Enterprise, priced per room per month based on the size of the hotel. With Enterprise, your hotel gets its own app in the stores, just like Santo Domingo Bay. The quickest way in is to try the demo and look at the plans.
