RIPPED OFF/ROBBED AT NEW GARDEN

[joeybk]

New Garden will always be under the gun. I thinks it's because everyone wants things PERFECT.

If someones French Toast isn't cooked correctly it is a big scandal.

But the guy that got his shit stolen as he was sleeping in his own room was a bit over the top.

is that a bad joke

[Bigsmile]

Checked in yesterday at New Garden and then read all this thread. Holy shit. I was in the new wing and there is no security at all. It's a joke. Obviously been designed and run by people that have no concept of safety at all. It's hardly surprising complaints have fallen on deaf ears they just don't get it at all.

My room had the most flimsy lock on the main door you've ever seen. I'm sure any body passing by could fall into the room just by leaning on the door. The room safe is bolted to the very small wooden bedside table. You can pick this table up with one hand and walk around with it. And the sliding doors are anothe joke. There is a lock on one end and a flimsy catch on the other end. Except on my door the flimsy catch had fallen off so there was no catch at all. Room totally open to all and sundry.

I checked out after only one night whilst my possessions were all still mine.

I hope the owner takes this post (and thread) the right way and uses it as an enlightenment to make his hotel a better place. I feel very sorry for the BM who was robbed.

Incedently I transferred to the Terra Linda and can report that it is lovely hotel. The internet works in the rooms. I think this was a previous problem but is now fixed. And they have girls around the pool which are available for fucking which is exactly what I did. Same price as New garden. Room is probably not much different but the whole place feels so much more secure and the pool area is much better.

Exactly how much r they charging u at the terra Linda just walking in off
The road? Did u tell the NG hotel why you wer checking out early so they would take note as to why they were losing a customer so soon?

I don't know I have seen few guys last couple weeks start to post get flamed then not post anymore.

Talked to Wilfried today. He has a good game plan for really upgrading security and he said Lorenzo is now coming around and has taken an interest. One thing Wilfried wants to do is have the reception desk manned 24/7. Hope he succeeds with that one. Of course upgrading all the door and window locks is also on the program. There are other things he has on the agenda that I won't mention here but suffice it to say that Wilfried is very concerned and doing all he can to have Lorenzo implement the changes. Wilfried is on OUR side. The emails from members complaing and expressing their concerns have been a big help to him.

I got flamed and still here posting.

But some cant take it, only like to give.

My walk in rate at the Terra Linda is $69. The same as their internet rate. I tried all the usual bargaining tools, cash, cash in advance, 6 days not 1 day, empty hotel etc etc and got no discount!

I have received an email from Wilfried and now understand that he is aware of the problems. I wish him good luck in his programme of improvements.

For those wondering why it took me 4 years to make first post I’ll explain. I joined the forum just before my first trip to the DR in 2007 and for various reasons have not been here again since. Just lurking in the background. So you can see I would have had nothing useful to say.

Did u try staying at the new garden hotel? 69 is more than the rate for the Ng in the new wing.

Bigsmile if you stay at Terra Linda make sure you get first floor double queen room the King Bed rooms aren't very nice.

PS Just because you don't travel as much as others doesn't mean your not worthy of posting.

Also, look into the corner king rooms also.

I trust that Wilfried will get it squared away and make the necessary changes to ensure that NG will remain a "hot spot." I hate that people have had a bad experience. Other than cash and my passport, I never take anything that would bother me if it were lifted.

They really should improve the door lock. When you get the key it feels like you have a key for a 5 $ plastic box safe.

Another thing: The TVs in the new wing are WAY too old, even for the DR! I was really surprised when I saw the same shitty 4:3 TV the first time I stayed in the new wing. Of course, who needs a TV in Sosua? But, I don't think that this should be a reason for a cheap TV.

You have to remember that 62 $ for a night in the DR is mucho mucho dinero. They should act really quick on the safety issues. I stayed for 3 nights in room 40 or 41 (I don't know exactly which room #, it was the one at the end) on my last trip and I felt very uncomfortable with that outside door I couldn't lock. That room sucked and they should be ashamed to charge that kind of money for a room with such a safety issue. When I read about that room and that this problem exists for at least one year, omg. I was glad that I could move to another room...

Anyway, it's a great hotel with a very good manager. Just my 2 pesos!

Send them an email so they have another complaint on record about that room and the door locks there.

Only by like 6 or 7 bucks and Terra Linda offers a really nice breakfast with more options. They had him with the walk in, you can get a cheaper rate emailing them. I inquired about a one week stay and was quoted $59 per night cheaper than NG's newer rooms.

59 a night with tax and breakfast included?

thanks for the heads up on this problem... i have never stayed at the new garden but you are not the only one being robbed in this hotel in the pas month..I hope they are doing something to fix this problem...At the seabreeze they do not let anyone inside unless they are staying there or have someone staying there...the girls can not leave the hotel if they are not walked out by yourlsef...meaning you have to give em the go ahead for them to release their IDs....I never had a problem at the seabreeze and always felt safe...i went back even when they had that lil problem with the safes.........

That is true, Seabreeze does have the girls leave their IDs at the front desk. I remember I had a chica who i was with for a while, and she had left her bag in my room. I took another chica and i was in a session with her when I heard a knock at my door, it was the girl who works the reception area telling me that there was a girl who said that she left something in my room and was requesting to come up, she wanted to know if this girl could be let up.

Now thats awesome. At some places you'll have a chica just walk right in and upstairs if its early enough. I did appreciate that and i'm just commenting on that just in case someone else finds that information Valueable.

Big Smile, dont feel as if your opinions and experiences hold no weight on the forum. Everyone has something to contribute here and we all have different experiences. Its always good to share and get feedback. And when you put it out in the open on the board here you get responses from veteran mongers and newer ones just trying to feel the land out. In the end we are all about making our next trips better ones.

[Chief Papi Lindo]

Omar doesnt work at NG anymore, did the robberies have something to do with it? i saw him in Sosua and he said he doesnt work there anymore bc he is moving to NY...hmmm

[Jimbo44]

Are you back in Sosua now Chief???
