    Lets see if the airport pickup shows up. They can start with that... Front desk guy who called spoke pretty good English which is a good start for me.

    Quick update on this place.
    My flight was late by a couple of hours but the airport pick up guy was luckily still there. Old guy who drove at what feels like 5 miles per hour on the highway.
    I had booked the apartment since I had got a good price on it. The apartments look a little outdated with the old style air conditioner in the bedroom.
    Their superior room seems like the best bet and you can call them direct and get a good price if you stay 3 nights or more. Web site price is 45/night.
    Pool is small; more like a Jacuzzi size. Never tried it but hung around it with Yayow and a few chicas we had picked up. Report will be in the paid section.
    Free breakfast is mediocre; eggs and local bread with jugo and pressed coffee.
    Wasn't too busy when I was there; only a couple of folks besides me.
    They have a couple of nice thick ones ( relative as I like flacas) working at the bar that could potentially be your compania.
    Owner is an older dominicana.
    The guy at the desk is pretty good and speaks good English.
    500 pesos for the ride back to the airport.
    Did walk from there to the playa etc except for the last trip back home for the day. 50-100 pesos for the moto-conchos..
    Nice big Ole supermarket pretty close by.
    Its pretty private so a good place to have a get-together/invasion and rates can be negotiated. Not quite to the standard of the Garant but lighter on the budget.

    A private alcove near the pool. A few older locals with their hot chicas were having a good time there one night. Not much lighting there so makes it a nice spot for fun.

    Superior rooms have a view of the pool. Accessible by a narrow staircase.

    The bar. Has like six bar stools around it. They played some pretty good music at night.. All local which was a refreshing change.

    It took a couple of tries to connect to the WiFi but once connected it worked well.
    They have backup generators which kicked in quite a few times when I was there. Lots of short-term power outages.
    They do have quite a few people working in the hotel who were all helpful. Half of them spoke English. The camereras behind the bar don't speak any English but were very friendly and responsive to flirting around.
    The cleaning lady did a pretty good job and nothing was missing. Towel sizes worked for me but are on the smaller side.
    They did NOT have a safe in Apartment 3 and the owner said it would take a day or so to get one. I skipped it since it wasn't worth it since their day or so can be a week.

    That's pretty much what I can remember. It was a 3 night stay without any issues.
