11/2012 - Boca Chica Hotel Garant Nov 2012

[Jimmydr]

yep the girls who who cleaned my room did my laundry as well... Of course it was just a few shirts and The occasional underwear.... But still a nice gesture.

I did tip a few peso's at breakfast but ontging major.

The lady at Freds said she would do my laundry, but not for free.

[Westy]

Okay, I understand, but the notion of the empanada-truck laundry is still funnier.

(Man. I'm getting too weird even for myself. I wish March would hurry up and get here.)

You interested in a Franchise?

For some reason, they only want to book thru booking.com

You can book Garant through Hotels.com as well!!

But I usually stay at Hotel Calypso when in the area.

Just booked my room for my November trip and found it interesting that I was allowed to only reserve my room using a credit card, with payment, presumably in cash, to be made on arrival. Don't know if that is the booking site's thing or the hotel's preference.

I thought you weren't coming?


They don't take credit cards there.

How is that Hotel? Where is that Hotel?

Calypso is where I stayed on my only time going to BC. Toro was also there at the same time for a few days. It is a 3 story (I think) hotel about a 2 block walk just north of the eastern end of Duarte. Has good sized rooms, queen beds, balcony (my room faced the street in front.....a little noisy at night, would recommend a room toward the back away from the street) a big pool and a key type safe.


When I was there in March of '12, I paid $45 a night. Wasn't a great hotel, but the location relative to Duarte and the beach, was very convenient. Could walk to the Boathouse in a few minutes.

Garant feels like home to me. At $50 a night, it works for now.

I had posted elsewhere that when I attempted to change my flight to Negril JB wanted $900 in the fare difference, and $150 in change fees. So Boca it is.

Holy flyby.

I spent almost all of March '12 in Boca and Santo Domingo. I was a block away at Villa Florencia for like 8 nights. I spent the last night of that trip at Calypso just so I wouldn't have to roll my bags too far.

That was the start of a 2 week trip then. I was at the Calypso from about the 16th thru 19th or something like that before heading up to the north coast to finish my last 10 days.

Guess we just missed each other or were there at the same time and didn't know it!

I'll be back in BC from Sept 8-12, reserved at the El Gaucho Hotel. $35 a night. Even though yayow isn't running his bar anymore, he'll be freed up to hang there, or wherever, with him back in retirement mode, so I hope to catch up with him for a beer or two.

Come on down if you can make it.

I have my second of three trips coming. This one is 9 days.

Another great stay

[Señor JDR of Medellin]

I agree - it's secure and clean. Quiet at night and the breakfast is cheap and good. There's parking for your car - limited but it's there.

You can walk right down to the action at Duarte in 2 mins.

Its better than nice enough. Now there are chicas hanging in front, day and night.

Hey there is my room in the corner....That's the suite for $62.00.....I was happy with that room. Nicer bed than the regular rooms and bigger overall room. Jimmy loved watching soccer on my couch

I would open up my curtains at 11AM bleary eyed and Jimmy would be down at pool with his harem waving at me

More like noon or 1PM.

Easily the cleanest, most organized and well built hotel in Boca Chica. Villa Florencia is a very close second.
