Sosua Hotels

[Nowrath]

Gents

I have read the reports on the GFE hotels.

But I prefer condos with kitchens, A/C , Cable , Safes, home away from home type feel.

I figure a upscale one in the Sousa beach area could run $800.00 to $1000.00 a week.

I plan to stay 3 weeks in the low season after the middle of April.

Anyone with any information on names of people I can contact or Condo's you personally know about will be appreciated.

And if my cost estimate is off let me know.

I have seen some in the Cabarete area for rent that look nice but they say the beaches are better in Sousa.

I'm not looking to be in the middle of the action , I prefer to go to it not be around it 24/7.

Thanks,

Nowrath

Gents,

I have read the reports on hotel GFE. Very informative.

But how about Upscale Condos for rent that are GFE.

I figure my budget is between $800.00 and a $1000.00 weekly for my 3 week stay.
I like the A/C, kitchen so I can cook, security that protects but doesn't intrude Cable tv, safe , close to beach etc.

First is my price realistic for a 1 bedroom condo in Sousa?

I have seen advertisments about Cabarete Condo's but it appears
Sousa is the place to stay and you day trip to Cabarete and Puerto plata.

Any good leads on condo accomdations would be greatly apprediated.

I will be traveling low season After the middle of April if that helps

Has anyone recently stayed at the Hotel Don Andes? I have a reservation there for May 19th. The hotel staff have told me that they are girl friendly, but it is my understanding that there are many Dutch tourists staying there. I wonder if the tourists will frown upon me being with a different guest everynight.

Not likely.

The dutch are the most open minded people there are when it comes to paid sex. The sport is legal in their country.

...if the staff told you that it's guest friendly, that's all you need to know. If the Dutch tourists don't like it, that's their problem, (it's very likely that they're there for the same reason you are), but if that really, really bother you, just bring home the same lady every night!
Motorman, don't worry about a thing, just go and have fun!

During my extended stay in Sosua, I stayed in many of the hotels on the street Dr. Rosen.

I do not want the hassle of hiring a car or want to get moto back to the hotel at night, so hotels on Dr Rosen was the best option!

I found the best and most reliable was the “Hotel Valaria” girl friendly, Air con, safe, wi-Fi, fan, central location, pool, nice decor and $45 per night. He is also reliable, if he says he has a room it will be there, unlike new garden and Orchidee, who will double book you, if they get a longer booking!
See pics below!

New Garden would be the next best in quality, but he pissed me off when I booked a room, but when I turned up he said "I made a mistake and your room has gone" He did not help me find another room and just shrugged his shoulders, as if to say not my problem!

room are ok, with safe, AC, fan, Wi-FI, pool, GF, limited on electrical points in room! cost is $55 per night. In my view not worth it!

Orchidee basic room with no AC, Wi-Fi or safe! It is GF and a good location with a fan. Cost is $30 per night! Again owner is very unreliable; he will also double book you if he gets a longer stay.

He is also very hard to deal with. He is German and does speak English, but refuses to speak it.

I rang him on his mobile; he said he is at the Airport and would be back at 6pm. I was there at 6:15 and he was not there. I went back at 7pm and he had just shown up!
This was not an isolated incident, as I know my friend, Sidney was also waiting for him on another two occasions for over 1 hour to come back from the airport.
Anyway on this occasion the room was available.

Because of my unexpected extended stay in Sosua I was finding accommodation on a day by day basis. So when my friend Sidney said he was leaving Sosua for SD earlier, and his room would be available for three days. I instantly contact the owner of Orchidee.

I was already book into Hotel Valaria for Thursday so I agreed with owner for fri and sat.

When I turned up Fri morning to check in, owner he said he knew nothing about it, and had no rooms available. I suspect he got booking for the full 3 days and just fucked me off! Be very careful about dealing with this guy, you may have a long flight and then find you do not have any room booked when you get to Sosua!

Rockys, "www.rockysbar.com" well what can you say! Next door to Orchidee and a similar standard but he does have Wi-Fi! Room 4 also has air con!

Marco the owner did mess up my booking, but he did help sort out alternative accommodation at trade winds, and gave a preferential rate!
Trade winds is a private development about 1km outside Sosua. Marco Has a few units here and let me have one for a few days until he could fit me in at Rockys. See pics below
Rooms at rockys are $25 per night. It is also a Restaurant and internet cafe, food is well priced but be prepared for a wait. Especially for the ribs!

On his web site he offers a free airport collection service. When I asked about this, he said he does not offer it anymore!

Of the entire hotel I have listed, Rockys is my preferred one, for location Wi-Fi and price!

As long as it has hot running water, a bed to fuck on, and I don’t have to ride on a moto to get home at night, then that is all I need!

There is another Hotel oposite New Garden, I forget the name, but it could only be booked for three days or more. No Wi-Fi! so never stayed there!

I think it was $45 per night. Air con and pool!

Has anyone stayed at the Blue Fish Condos in Perla Marina? Me and a buddy are making our 1st trip to the North Coast and we are considering staying there. We have made previous trips to BC and SD, but we decided to try Sosua and Puerta Plata this time around. The rental service says that they allow guests, but we would like to confirm for obvious reasons.

Sorry if I over looked this... but is the El Magnifico GF?

My friend and I are planning a visit to the POP area, it will be are first visit to the POP area.

El Magnifico in Cabarete is GF but you absolutely need a scedula and you are 100% responsible . I was there twice since April07 and i had a really good time . There are 2 jacuzzis and one pool .

Best thing is to find a girl that will spend the week with you .

Pm me if you need more info

Fellas,

Has anyone headed over to Charamicos where the natives live? I would imagine there is some good, local non pro action.

Thanks

Here is an other hotel question .

Lascanas is on the way out of Sosua toward Cabarete up in the hills of La Mulata.

I dont know how far this is from the Clubs but i would like to know .

Also at night what is the best way to get from the clubs to the hotel ?

www.LASCANAS.net

It takes you by car round about 5-10 minutes to get from the clubs to las canas cause the road to this place is in a really bad shape, however a friend of mine told me that they finally started to do the road work so i guess in future it will take you alot less.
At night you can either take a car or a motochonco. Once i took a cab from la bomba in sosua to las canas and the cab fare was 250 pesos one way.

Good evening Gentlemen

Is it possible to rent a private Studio/Apartment in the center (walking at the
evening); girlfriendly and a bit equiped like SAT-tv, freadge aso ?
No moonprices; 650-750 USD/Month up to the standard and location.

Thx

Perla de Sosua - I got a good look at this place and from the outside can not think of a bad thing to say about it. Others who have stayed there spoke highly of it too. I suggest you try it out.
