    04/2015 - Hotel Don Antonio Review/Update April 2015

    Just spent 5 nights at Don Antonio. It was my second time staying there and first since the renovations.

    - AC was cold
    - Plenty of hot water, no water issues at all.
    - new flat panel TV - 32in. I believe
    - bed was fairly comfortable--not too much squeak.
    - WiFi seemed good to me.
    - Bathroom was in good/modern condition.
    - Kitchenette has plenty of cookware, dishes etc..
    - Pool was clean, peaceful and quiet.
    - Breakfast was decent for about $200RD including coffee.
    - Trash can in bathroom and main room.
    - Safe worked fine
    - New furniture

    Overall, Don Antonio is a great value at $47 per night. It's quiet and laid-back for being so close to the strip. There are plenty of hotels close to the strip that cost more, don't have a kitchenette, and are not a peaceful. It's managed by Obe, a Dominican that speaks English and is very chill and apprecaites the guests. I highly recommend the place for the price. I'm not gonna go Mike Lodge on this thread if anyone disagrees though. lol.

    Obie is awesome,,,,,,,what a nice guy,,,,,

    When I had to extend my last trip, and Dpieriro told me they only had a room for one night,,,and not the needed two nights,,,,he hooked me up with a room,and I was very happy,,,,,,

    I also liked the bar area,,,,,and I chilled there with my otra chica on this trip,,,,,,

    Cant remember the room number,,,but that was because I got caught creepin by my favoritas friend,,,,and I ended up having 6 mamajuanas on my last night ,,,,,,

    Some pics of the room,,,,,

    Nice pics. Didn't bother posting mine because I took a few this trip and all require way too much editing to look half decent. This hotel update is my report. lol. Yes, I know I'm underachieving. jaja.

    Re: Hotel Don Antonio Review/Update April 2015

    memoriesss. this is the place i stayed on my first ever mongering trip in 2008. obe is a great host i remember that since it was my first solo trip to the island, my family thought i wasnt going to make it back alive so my mom called obe to check in on me damn a whole 7 years ago and i think at the time they were just starting the renovations room by room.

    nice to see what has been done with the rooms and the hotel in general looks like a completely different place when i looked it up alone.

    anyway great place to stay, great location and awesome hotel manager.

    thanks for the update toro and agent #9 thanks for the additional pics

    That's a good mom you got there # 33,,,,,,,,

    Yeah the room I stayed in was recently renovated,,,,,,,

    The Bathroom was brand new,,,,,,,

    It's amazing I didn't even know this place was here until Tgunz told me about it,,,,and I happened to check on booking.com for availability, and they were the only place in sosua with a room available on my dates,,,,

    It had a little weekend warrior flavor goin on,,,, but not out of control,,,,,,,

    I wasn't crazy bout the security guy either,,,,,but it is was it is,,,,

    overall I was very happy,,,,,,

    I have stayed at Don Antonio at least 2 to 3 times in the past. Always clean, good hot water, close to the strip. Obe has always been a good host. He looked out for a buddy of mine one time when his luggage was lost by the airline. He called the airport in Puerto Plata, (communicating better than my buddy)luggage delivered the very next day.I never tried the restaurant (don't know why), chilled at the bar though. 200 peso breakfast is definitely worth checkin.

    I have to agree with every thing said about Obe and his hotel. I have stayed there twice and would book there again. You can beat the value. At another Sousa hotel run by someone we all know wants a $100 deposit before he even hands over the keys or shows the room. First time I booked with Obe he took me to my room that I reserved for a week an said whenever I get a chance I can settle up

    He said the same thing to me,,," well settle up whenever you get a chance"

    Guess I was busy,,,,cuz i didnt settle up until an hour before the cab to the airport showed up ,,,,,

    The first partially negative post is coming from me.....


    The only two problems that I have had at Don Antonio's are those mosquitos coming throw those window in the bathroom and kitchen. They just had the wood blinds that could not stop those mosquitos from coming in.



    Everything else I agree with. The cleaning lady even had her dad take me to the hospital a few years back when I got sick. The hospital took my insurance and all was well. They held my bags in the office and I did not get charged for the two nights that I was in the Hospital. I checked back in when I got back.

    Obe is a great guy.

    One thing to note is when booking online I believe the name is Las palmas. I believe sosua bay has a different name now too.

    I was just there. That's not a problem. Nor is street noise. Double pane windows have been installed.

    The bathroom window now has glass or a plexiglass covering the blinds now.

    Don antonio has been the only place that i stay at for the last 4 years when ever i'm in sosua. Obe has been an awesome host. Can't imagine staying anywhere else. A few things that I like about there is that it is right across the street from the bus stop. 2nd I could see whats going on in rumbas and on the street from the terrace at don antonios. Sometimes my boy and I would spent over an hour just watching the chicas, learning their habits and seeing who they are leaving rumbas with from the terrace at don antonio. Occasionally we would even call them to come up and chill with us.

    The only bad thing I could say about don antonios is that the regular security guard has become a little relax over the last few years with the Chicas. Sometimes he let's the chicas that he is cool with on the premise. However, if you are having a good time he is not gonna disturb you. I once was getting my freak on in the pool at don antonios with a chica and he did not once come to bother us. But we did catch him looking at us behind the bushes....hope he enjoyed the show....lol

    With most of these "watchies" but especailly him, I have learned a little goes a long way. At night maybe I'll grab them a 100 pesos Plato del dia, or a sandwich, maybe a soda. They can't do enough for you after that. If you ever been hungry and thirty. You remember who bought you some food. Your good after that.

    Its good to book ahead. Once during low season I thought I could do a walk in, they were booked solid. Luckily Rick was able to accomodate me at the Suites. To say the least I have my room already booked at Don Antonio for my trip this month

    I used them for a number of years and it was good. A few years ago when they started construction in the bar I had to look elsewhere (I will not tolerate living on a construction site when I am on vacation). I ended up finding a few other options and I haven't been back. Obie is a good host and a wealth of info.... I always wanted to tap the darker chica working the bar and in charge when Obie wasn't there but it never happened. Like a friend of mine once told me " you can't fuck all of them".

    I like the upstairs rooms. Great views on the balcony.....



    I even remember some fun times in the room.

    I know exactly who you are talking about. Did you ever meet her niece. Her niece is just a much younger version of her.
