11/2012 - Boca Chica Hotel Garant Nov 2012

[DRCowboy]

On the ground now staying at Hotel Garant (http://www.hotelgarant.com/). Not fancy but good basic rooms. Very clean, good water pressure and lots of hot water. AC and fan works great. 1-1/2 block from Duarte, secure and very quite. Wi-Fi 6 Mbps strong signal in my room, pool and breakfast area. Luxury room for $ 50.00/night. Breakfast quite good RD 200.

"water pressure"? Thats for pussies, I don't want to look like a gringo, so I wear pants and stay in places with no water pressure

We all have choices to make. Some like a pool so they can shave when the water stops running. For all its ammenities, The Palace has no pool but then the water and the electricity are always working and it's 2 blocks from the Caribbean so I can get my wet on without walking around with chlorine eyes and sinus headaches for the next two days. There's something about a private bedroom balcony that just attracts me so when given the choice I choose that first.

At Santo Domingo's Hotel Acuarium the 4th floor rooms have private balconies in front and back. I remember with fondness the night I had Big Butt Eva doggy style over the balcony railing there as we watched a cock fight happening on the street below. I was smoking a Cohiba Petit Lancero and we were sipping cuba libres and every time I have run into her since she remembered and mentioned that night to me as well. How do you put a price on an unforgettable memory? It takes a lot to make a permanent impression on a Ho in one night.

You're killing me Boris....Just killin me.

On a serious note, I would think that the Palace would have a really nice pool based on everything else I've heard. A bedside balcony is a sexy look though.

I understand. The Palace is a self indulgence for us old guys who need more than a bed and a place to shower. Some days I don't come out of the apartment and just get everything I need delivered.

They don't have a restaurant or a bar and I found myself going a couple blocks down Ave 20 Dec to The Hamilton among other places. They definitely have the breakfast spot and besides being right by the mercado they're also right across the street from the Play Boy Club. I met the owner and he's got a handle on the business. There's a casino and a 24/7 bar and the rooms, while nothing special are decent and inexpensive. I promised him I'd stay there in the near future. It's a very friendly place and welcoming. It definitely give a different look at BC from the other places I've stayed. The street rats don't make it that far up the hill and with two very nice Cathouses in two blocks the place is a good bet. Definitely monger and Chica friendly.

Equal to rockys to western union using sosua units of measure. But practically next door to el Batey night club and higher end casas

It wouldn't feel right bringing some of those girls to villa florencia. Like picking up a streetwalker in a Bentley.

They probably had the Play Boy Chicas from across the street over for a pool party. I'm sure there are Chicas hanging out at the bar and casino from time to time but I don't know that he has any "on site" talent. The place seems a little smallish for that.

I'll tell you what, this guy's got the right idea, offering night club and casino excursions to Santo Domingo. Sounds like he and ISOC would get along really well. I think on my next trip I'm going to split my stay between Hamilton and The Palace. 20 Deciembre is a well travelled street with plenty of action at the colmados and there's always a moto to take you anywhere for a few pesos. It's 3 blocks from Duarte but a World away at the same time.

I think he was asking about the Garant which is a little closer to the Piano Bar than Villa Florencia which is closer to El Batey.

"Streetwalker in a Bently".....now that's some funny shit

[Skynyrd]

Yeah I was talking about the Garant which sounds like its about the same dist as New Garden to the Strip right?

Quick update:

First I wanted to thank Sr. Tranquillo his friend Ken & Carlos for several tours around Yayowville. It's great to get live intel on day one. Unfortunately have had a small bout of bad ice or food. Has to be that, it can't b the alcohol. Lost a day and 1/2 but should be back in action this evening. Plan to check out El Bayte disco. Tomorrow into the surf.

I'll do a full blown trip report when I get back. I'm having computer problems (internal security, not hotel Wi-fi or ISOC).

The guy at Hotel Garant seems really nice, I sent him an email yesterday asking about reservations for my Jan trip for a Luxury room and also asking about a late check out since my flight don't leave until 6pm.
I told him I was just there in Sept and plan to visit often and I received a response in about 1 hr..here is his reply.
Im emailing him back to book it, from the pics on his site the place looks like a HUGE upgrade from the Madj.

The owner is a good guy.

Every hear of Garant Tools? He's one of the sons. Silly money... lots of it. Just don't mention it to him, he DOES NOT like to talk or hear about it. (did you see the bold, underline, italics???)

Just don't do any frat party shit there. He likes it low key. Act like an adult.
