Sosua Reports

Club Residencial. Nice complex but bad experience with female swiss manager very unfriendly, can only have one female guest 24 hour period would not pickup at airport paid deposit by credit card before arrivial. All units are privately owned, German guy owns a majority of the units therefore he controls the property. Gated with security guard at nite.

Paid for three weeks upon arrival cash, $54. 00 a day plus $14. 00 a day for A/C and 16% tax. A bit pricey for this type of accommodations. Key needed to turn on A/C and key can not be removed from the door key ring to prevent leaving A/C on when not in the unit. Living room and bathroom did not have screens, would not repair nor give me another unit, advised they were booked. The mosquitoes replenised their blood supply durning my stay.

Wanted $20. 00 to call cab for me when leaving, walked down to the taxi stand on Pedro Clisante got cab for $15. 00 to airport. Will not stay there again.

This is where I booked on my return second trip.

ok, first things first. The rooms are 1/3 the size of Las Terrazas down the street but almost half the cost at $55. For anybody staying longer than 7 days LT will drop the price notably. I am not sure how much. See the Hotels thread if you want to do deeper research.

That was a no-lie post I read some time ago to bring earplugs to New Garden. Things are even worse now. The hotel has bought the land just to the south and are building an extension to the hotel. In the future there will be more and newer rooms available. So the construction noise is in the morning and, motochonchos all hours of the night. You could be in banging your girl and just 10 feet away two guys could be talking and laughing like there were no walls between you. This is a first floor observation. Today I change to 2nd floor.

I would not mind booking into Cayena, would be a lot quieter without too much price increase. The place looks nicer too.

I was so tired after my arrival I could not recoup my energy enough to take a girl this first night. The semi-sleep did feel good though.

My first visit to the casino was nice. I thought there were higher quality looking girls there. 50 Pesos to/from NG after asking one of the girls what they pay. You just have to tell the guys 50P y no mas and they wont ask $300 from some of you other guys who will unknowingly pay it. Maybe you can pay less than 50p, but come on, its only a buck fifty.

[QUOTE=Uptown Spc]Fellow members,

I am planning on staying at Villa Casa Blanca in Perla Marina from May 30 - June 8.

The villa looks great but I have a few questions:

1) It is a gated community of villas with security. Does anyone have experience getting girls through the gate without being harassed or is that not something for me to worry about?

2) Has anyone ever stayed here: [url]http://www.vrbo.com/128204[/url]. do you have a better suggestion?

3) Does anyone know how far it truly is from Sosua. they say a five minute drive. Any suggestions on renting an ATV to get back and forth or other means of transportation?

4) I have done Rio and had a blast despite my inability to speak portugese. My spanish is just as bad. Any veterans in town during that time to show a rookie the ropes?

Thanks[/QUOTE]If you havent booked already you wont.Check their calender at bottom of page,no availability.

I have to agree about the noise at New Garden. I stayed there the last 2 weeks of January on my first trip to Sosua. Motoconchos are racing by all night and the construction had just begun a couple days before I left. Also there was a baseball field out back that seemed to have activity fairly early nearly every morning. I was on ground level which I understand is worse but I guess thats where they put all the new guys who don't know any better. Paid $50/day for 2 weeks. First week was ok but any longer than one week I would try another location. A buddy of mine was staying at Las Terrezas and it was much nicer and quieter but further away. Also more expensive but monthly rate was similar to New Garden daily rate for anyone looking at staying longer term. Casa Cayena looked nicer than New Garden but is a little more $$$ and further as well. Considering returning late March for one week and would like to try something different this time just to satisfy my curiousity. Has anyone ever tried Rocky's condos? Where are they located. Still within walking distance of the action?

Thanks,

Funinthesun63[/QUOTE]I have been talking to a guy these last two nights staying at Rockys. I told him, the rumor was Rockys is like renting a jail cell. He shot back somewhat in agreemnt saying that he is only there beause everything else was booked. FWIW.

Thanks for the info guys.

I heard the same thing from the guy EHunter was talking to. The best thing is that they are dirt cheap, and they are not just in walking distance, but within drunken stumbling distance of the action. I decided to stay in New Garden even though the rooms are somewhat dumpy and the noise is noticeable, because it´s damn convenient, plus everything that´s better and guest friendly is either a lot more money, less well located, and-or fully booked out right now.

I made a reservation and planning to stay at Piergiorgio Palace Hotel for several nights. The list on Sosua hotel indicates that it is chica freindly. Anyone have any experiance in this place? I send them an email and specifically asked when I made my reservation, but they did not say yes or no in my responce.

I think the original poster was asking about Rocky's Condos, not the rooms.

He asked, "Has anyone ever tried Rocky's condos? Where are they located. Still within walking distance of the action?"

If you go to Rocky's website, you will see the condos are not the same thing and cost a little more.

TJ[/QUOTE]I'm going there myself(Rocky's condo's) 3/28-4/4. Been to DR b4 but nver mongering trip to Sousa. My first time Phsyched!! Anyone going them?

I stayed at that hotel in October. The hotel is gorgeous right off a small cliff looking over the beach. I had to make reservations for two per night ( me and friend shall we say). 1 night I had 2 freinds and the night desk person bitched a little bit, but it all worked out. So to be on the safe side I would tell the hotel 2 per room to aviod hassel. To be honest, it's a couples hotel, not one for the monger's.

Greetings and thanks for reading this.

I have emailed John and the sosua palace with no response and the web address i had is garbage.

Does anyone know what happened to the palace or domonican john?

If they are down and out does anyone know of another chica friendly resort with hot tubs in sosua or near buy? Much appreciated and regards; play safe!

--Thanks
