Fellas,
I'm headed back to Sosua next month for the 1st time in a year and I need some help w/ the lodging situation. I've read a lot on this and other reliable boards and I've learned the following about my past go-to spots in El Batey:
- NG - my homeboy Willfried is gone and there have been issues w/ security (i.e., theft) and reservations.
- TL - gotten out of control w/ pricing to the tune of $70 min per night!
Is Club Residencial a viable alternative to these two? I've seen some people mention it, but can't find much detail, including where it's located in relation to the Dr. Rosen spots and the main landmarks on PC. Is this one of the places far away from the main strip like Colibri?
As to be expected, my core amenities are:
- AC
- in-room safe (preferably electronic)
- cable/satellite TV
- fridge
- hot water
- reasonable walking distance to 'ground zero' on PC (whatever's left of it at this point)
I'd like to pay no more than $55-60 per night. TL was charging 55/nt during my last trip and it's VERY disappointing to hear that they've since gotten the idea that they're an AI hotel! A pool would also be nice, but not a deal breaker for me.
But of course, the #1 requirement is that I can bring chicas in and out as I please! I'm pretty discreet when on vaca, but I don't want to deal w/ any complicated procedures or dirty looks when I have a companion or two over.
Please let me know if Club Residencial fits this bill or if some other place does.
I don't need chicas hanging around like NG, but again I need the establishment to not hinder my activities. Sosua Bay was looking good until I read about the uneasy coexistence w/ the AI side.
It's kind of a downer to read all this stuff about crackdowns, random arrests and hotel issues immediately AFTER booking my flight!
Thanks in advance,
BB1
