    11/2009 - LOVE n CARE Cabana

    Driving into Sosua on the main road from Cabarete today noticed a large sign saying 'Villas Turisticas' and 'Love n Care' with a picture of a very large bed.

    It's on the same side as Coastal just past the entrance to Sosua Ocean Village.

    Didn't have time to check it out but it's long overdue if it is a new cabana as there is little else between Islabon/Sabaneta and Cangrejo/Puerto Plata.

    So anyone know anything? Will check it out next time I'm passing.

    Re: New cabana is Sosua???

    My understanding is that it is about to open, very soon, and is supposed to be quite "upscale". should be a great alternative to the one shitty cabaņa in the area and places like The Calypso Hotel. There are about 15 or so rooms completed with 30 or 35 when all complete. I know I'll be using it regularly if the prices are at all reasonable.

    I aways wondered why there were no cabanas in the Sosua area. Should do well.

    Re: New cabana is Sosua???

    According to some flyers stuck on posts all over Sosua the rate will be RD$480 for 4 hours. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
    It's not on the same side of the road as Coastal as I originally stated, but the other side, down behind the German butcher.
    Looks very nice, didn't go in yet.

    Who's gonna be the 1st to try it out and report back???

    LOVE n CARE Cabana

    I checked out the new cabana last Saturday night. Very clean and convienient. It's located a couple minutes from the car wash. 450 plus tax. Head out on the main highway driving towards Cabarete. You'll see the sign or banner (very small) on your left hand side. Turn left down the dirt road and the cabana is located on the left. I have a 350 cabana i use on the other side of puerta plata but "love n care" will be my new option.

    Thanks for the great pics. Looks really nice. It will useful no doubt. When you say car wash I assume you mean the one just on the edge of town past the last Mercado there on the highway heading out of town would it then appear to be on the water side not up the hill correct?

    Correct...... It's not up the hill.

    It's located off of the highway.

    Is that 450 plus tax for un rato or for how long?
    Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now!

    The last time I passed by the place was empty and appeared abandoned. The dirt road alongside Bavaria Butchers is in horrible shape. That is the only way in and out. The hot sandwiches at the butcher are as good as ever and the price is right!
