Posts: 33EL Caucho hotel in Boca Chica
I realize I am in the DR and they have issues with hot water and that is fine, but no running water is unacceptable.
Many times during my stay I could not shower or even flush the toilet, and the staff was useless.
The towels have a horrible residue on them, which didn't seem to be properly rinsed or dried, just not the right feel.
The staff is a bunch of thieves and stole $500 from me and the manager basically blamed me for it, which is partially right since I let it happen.
This place is no where near the strip and some maps of the area is confusing or misleading.

[QUOTE=OldKool; 1283542]Bus to boca chica 3 dollars. Cab 35 to 50. SD to air port is $35 BC is 15 miles futher do the math. I have learned to use all the local transport. It saves money and is fun. The Buses are excellent on time and comfortable. To BC you have some other options that varey I comfort but are reliable. I tend to be tight with my cash. I will pay 50 dollars for a cab. When I can use a 7 dollar bus.
[There is a guagua (Domincan for any kind of bus) that leaves from Santo Doming abut every 15 minutes. Don't know the exact address, but it is about three blocks from the Plaza Lama store. Ask any taxi for "Guagua a Boca Chica." It costs less than three dollars and is pretty much non stop until it gets near BC. Going in the other direction, these are the same buses that you see stopping at the park in BC. Going to SD you may have to transfer to a different guagua a few miles down the main highway. They are air conditioned, cheap, and pretty quick.
Incidentally, a trick for taxis from the airport that works in lots of countries: Go upstairs to departures, walk outside, and negotiate with a driver who is leaving people off. You should be able to get a car for half the tourist rate you are quoted downstairs. Some drivers are not authorized to make airport pickups. Others just don't want to sit around waiting for a fare.
