    ...I'm confirming this is #73 and if it is, I'm booking. Thanks for the heads-up.

    work is just about complete, with an entrance directly on Pedro Clisante. Maybe bring more life to that part of PC.

    Re: Hotel El Colibri

    I got the grand tour of El Colibri when I was there and was pretty impressed.......
    loved those King Size Beds they had there........
    half decent location and not too far from a lot of action......
    the pool, restaurant and grounds were very nice........
    El Colibri is probably the closest thing in Sosua to what you'd expect to find in Jamaica for a hotel

Security was pretty good, but I was able to bring in a few chicas to my room that I couldn't at other places because they had ID issues. Basically, at Colibri I brought the chicas in and took them str8 to my room and never went to the front desk and no one ever asked me for anything.
    what exactly is 'continental bfast' in the D.R.? so its not an all out eggs & potatoes type bfast?

    At the Colibri thyer continental is homefries, toast, ham, cheese and fruit, also they give you orange juice. And if you decide to stay there mention if you still get the free breakfast by mentioning ISOC, I got it last 2 times I was there.

    It should be noted the portions are really small.

    If you're hungry and really want to eat a nice breakfast, this is not going to do it for you.

    There's plenty of places you can go have a nice, filling breakfast for a couple dollars.

    Well I am not one to have a big breakfast, for me coffee and toast its just fine, so actually what they serve for me is more than enough and I never finish it


    But yes if you are used to a big breakfast than it would be small compared to other places.

    Re: Hotel El Colibri

    I took my chica to El Clibri for the friday seafood special last week. Disappointing is an understatement. I spoke with Patrick, who seems to run the show in Moniques absence, and he told me it was all you can eat for 495. I reserved for 2 persons at 7pm when they start.

    The special comes with a soup. I guess the tiny portion of soup served with a teaspoon should have been warning enough about the meal experience. I told the waitress about the small soup portion and it took her two more portions to get it right. She served the third portion with a regular soup spoon and the portion itself was twice the first two portions. All together (3 soups) it was like a bowl of soup in the states. Tasty soup, but very little seafood despite being called seafood soup.

    The main course arrived and it was also tasty with a variation of seafood items, including half a lobster. The waitress looked at me with a look like you really want a second portion. I spoke with Patrick and he said yes it is all you can eat and I will take care of you and he told the waitress to get me a second portion. Again tasty, but no lobster second portion.

    Tired of dealing with them about getting food so when Patrick came to ask if we wanted dessert. I told him since they did not have ice cream, we would go next door to Germania restaurant for ice cream. He said he would take care of it. He took care of me alright charging me about double the price of the same ice cream served at Germania. He sent one of his people there to get it and charged me double for the few steps it took to get it. El Colibri, you disappoint. Diners beware.
