    Went there with Bailar on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Was shown rooms. just bartender on site and owner was pleasant but is hoping for future. As YayYow stated, just a regular hotel right now. I wouldn't stay here for that fact and location. If raining or need to take a chica back from Batey, Piano etc wouldn't be worth it to me. Trying to make it nice but as of now is just a hotel.

    Just a hotel, but with only 13 rooms it might be possible to book the whole place for an Invasion, close the front gates, and party hearty.

    Hell, I like walking thru a town to the beach anyway, so Id just have a good time...if I was you... never know who u may run into!!!

    I'm considering a visit in March, rather than February as initially planned due to some business travel. So there won't be a big B-day bash, but am very curious to check out this place. And as always, down to have some kind of party. Once I book I'll send an update.

    No, it's high on my list of plans to make it to BC early in 2017, though slight change in dates. If a bunch of guys already booked, I could revert to the original timeline--purely out of guilt. lol.

    Just as an FYI, I am trying out the Tronco when I go to BC this Sunday. So i get a call from the guy at the front desk confirming my reservation (booking.com) and he is asking for flight details. I was thinking that they were looking to get some money out of dumb-ass gringo for the pickup. I started blabbering about how I pay only vente dolares for my ride. He calmly explains that its free pickup since I am staying three nights and he would only charge 500 pesos for the drop-off when I leave. I was impressed.

    I updated the above in the Hotel Coco thread also.

    Will let you guys know next week how the place works out. Yeah its a bit of a walk but time to try something different than Garant.

    Upper part is where Tronco is located. Decent rooms and close to supermarket but too far for me to walk where I want to go. I walk a lot and don't want to be sweating all the time. The owner is very nice and is trying hard to make the hotel as good as possible. All hotels are just a hotel in my opinion unless they are all inclusives or a blackbeards type. No casa de citas or chicas on site is point I was making. It is a solid 10 minutes walking to Duarte. If someone likes the hotel, stay there if it was closer I would have probably stayed there a few nights. For an invasion/party it would be a great location and import your own chicas in. Has a decent size jacuzzi there as well. 3 types of rooms with different rates. Online were saying 35 dollars and up but when in person was willing to negotiate lower prices but looked totally empty when I was there or maybe just a few rooms rented. If location isn't a matter for you, would be a good place to stay and maybe help them get started for future endeavors.

    I was confused since we were talking about two different spots.

    Hope they can pull it together.

    Interested in your take of the place in regards to customer service. The airport pickup is a good start.

    When I stopped by they had a crew from the states there, part of the reason I guess it was fun, always better when you have a group that know each other.

    Those BBQ's you have with 4-6 of us are always great.
