23 rooms, pool, bar restaurant. $38 a night. Credit Cards. Guest friendly.

He is an Italian guy that got rid of his old Italian wife. He is free!

[Tonto4]

He is an Italian guy that got rid of his old Italian wife. He is free!

And he's got ISOC interested in his place. If he sets things up for us he'll prosper - otherwise he's dead or broke in two years.

definitely nice, plus central to all the action....I like the place, took a tour with Jimmy and Maximus. Would consider staying there for sure. $38.00 a night, AC, pool, restaurant and chica friendly.

[psriches]

Does he know about ISOC? In other words, is it $38 in general or is that with a discount?

[JuanElGriego]

This place sounds great.

Great job, guys!!!

BTW .... do the rooms have safes?

Contact info?

I don't think he is aware of ISOC, unless Jimmy said something. If you paid by credit card it was $40. There is a $2 discount paying cash. I think the $38 is the standard price. But I do stand corrected if need be.

Tel.....1.809.571.1557Outstanding, thank you. I'm really looking for a nice inexpensive place, sort of secluded, as a 2nd hotel for those tight situations.

[Kevy]

It has safes. I took a tour with Jimmy. The safes cost 2.50 a day extra.

[DEPUTY DAWG]

Great work guys!!!!!!!! Needed another option plus it can be used like a CABANA!!!!!!

[Bug Boy]

This looks good. I just came off of the web site and they have an onsite restaurant with pool as well.

38$ is not bad, its always good to have options.

[psriches]

Great work guys!!!!!!!! Needed another option plus it can be used like a CABANA!!!!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!!

[Jimmydr]

I love this place. I have my November reservation.

[Apos]

the location is great and the place seems to be above average. i know a guy that ALWAYS stays there and loves it.

since it's now chica friendly i'd stay there before a condo in future

[psriches]

i'd stay there before a condo in futureWhy instead of a condo? Just curious.......

[Apos]

Why instead of a condo? Just curious.......good question.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
i don't drive in the DR so location is, almost, everything. if i'm in Sosua i want to be near the action usually:)

[Hemp]

will def...check this place out when i get there on 7/14

[Beads]

visited the location with Jimmys brother then hung out for 2 days by the pool, 1 room with 2 beds, medium size fridge, safe, good ac, running hot water ,decent sized bathroom, dressers, overall clean place, nice useable onsite pool, onsite bar, onsite restaurant( i only ordered fries which were fine) and something Jimmy wasnt used to........................


A toilet that worked! I bet you enjoyed every shit you took there!

[Bug Boy]

Do you guys think this is better than the Romanoff?

[Apos]

Do you guys think this is better than the Romanoff?
igual mas o menos...the romanoff is very convenient to il molino, eddy's, super super and judy's cambio while the new garden is closer to the beach, and rocky's.

personally i prefer the New Garden in theory but i haven't actually stayed at either:rolleyes: hard to go wrong at either

[Jimmydr]

Do you guys think this is better than the Romanoff?


I think this blows away that Hotel.

[gdogg]

I'm at the Romanoff right now, and I think Jimmy may be right!

[DEPUTY DAWG]

I'm at the Romanoff right now, and I think Jimmy may be right!

Okay sooooooooo report please!!!!!!!!!

[gdogg]

Okay sooooooooo report please!!!!!!!!!

Cut me some slack, DSquizzy!! I'm about to go get a Kika massage from M&M. I'll get to starting one sometime today. Last night was off the chain. I couldn't decide who to take home. I even passed on Me and Sammy's Yubi!

I passed New Garden yesterday, hoping to run into someone. It looks really cool.

[Bug Boy]

Thanks Gdogg we need to know if is it worth the extra 10 dollars per night ;)

[Jimmydr]

Thanks Gdogg we need to know if is it worth the extra 10 dollars per night ;)


Its $38 and the other place is $25?

[DEPUTY DAWG]

I LIVE THROUGH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FEED ME.......FEED ME.......FEED ME..lol, lol, lol.

[Bug Boy]

Its $38 and the other place is $25?

Yes, that sounds about right. I think its $30 for a room with a stove.

[Bug Boy]

Its $38 and the other place is $25?

Oh yeah about this Garden Hotel, is there a good place to put the secret camera?

Thats worth the extra money alone.

[Jimmydr]

What secret camera?

[Bug Boy]

A place where you can stash the camera and film all exploits without the chicas knowledge..or do you bring the camera directly in the bed? lol

We had about 5 meals there. Pasta dish was 200 pesos.

[agua chico]

Any one have pictures of the bedroom. Is it clean and does it have a digital safe and card key like in Europa, so you don't have to walk around with a big ass wooden key holder?

Everything is based on keys there.

[SJG]

I am the Keymaster.

[Beads]

they had a room key/ac key/safe key.the rooms were nice. very clean. new furniture. nice bathrooms but not huge. definitely good enough for a guy and a chica or even 2 guys and 2 chicas if really wanted to go cheap.

[Hockeyrhino]

Hey Guy's,

This place looks good. What do you think the charge would be for the month of December? Could only see a few pictures of the rooms. Are they small? Do they have studio's?

How do they compare to say One Ocean or the Plams condos?

Also any recommondations on room(s)#'s to stay in? Is gound floor better than say a upper level room? Quite rooms away from the main drag?
Room that is more private than other? A room that is more chica accessable with out 3rd degree from the gaurd?

Hows the water pressure and hydro situation? Think Jimmy said they have safe in each room. Anyone confirm?

Thanks,
Look'in to book a room soon ;o)

[psriches]

Also, what's the reservation process? I'm hearing that they don't answer emails?

Its on a quiet street and the guard checks IDs of all chicas. Third floor would be more private.

He gives the current price as more than he's telling the rest of you. Much more. I assume that he wants $50 if you bring chicas in. Does anyone know why I would be charged a higher price than you all?

I just finished staying there....Lorenzo doesn't speak great english
The single room is $40 a day
The double room is $50 a day

Now he charged me $38 a day plus $2 for safe.....
But the new charge is $40 a day plus $2 for safe..
And if you pay by credit card, it's an additional $2 a day

The Garden is a great place to stay...I just spent 2 weeks there and is pretty well booked for the month of Aug.

[Beads]

whats a double room and whats a single room? cause if its just 2 beds and he runs out of single rooms shouldnt he honor the single room price if he has to stick you in a double room? I hope this hotel stays ISOC friendly and we dont get dealt some bullshit.

Lorenzo was out of single rooms and gave me a double/triple for the same price as single....#14
It had three beds and he honored the old price of $38 plus $2 for safe..
The single price now is $40 plus $2 for safe and an additional $2 if you pay by credit cared

Its well worth it. $38 or $40!!!!

[Beads]

for $2 extra no big deal once your paying 25% extra $50 for a 1 bedroom hell have plenty of open rooms.

Can you take 2 girls at once?

this hotel is the cats meyow,,,, excelnet location very clean and up to date if your wanting upper class accomadations, you will find none better, i am in and out of the hotel almost everyday, on my walk to M&M for a massage, pay the extra if you can afford it, you will not be dissapointed,, they are telling me this is the height of the Italliano vacation season, i think after that calms down thigs will get more attractive for the ISOC members bussiness

I'm afraid that I don't understand what you are trying to say. Perhaps punctuation would help.

It's still cheaper than Blackbeards.

im just hoping when someone needs a single room and is expecting a $40 per night charge if he runs out of singles (can happen easily it seems) he doesnt force the $50 per night charge on us based upon the fact of having limited space and wanting to maximize profits.

[Jimmydr]

I'm afraid that I don't understand what you are trying to say. Perhaps punctuation would help.


Thats why you need to reserve a room. If all the i bedrooms are taken and a 2 BR is all that is left, its too bad.

[Kevy]

The place is filled until the end of August, a couple of guys tried to get rooms without reservations last week.

[Beads]

glad i reserved my rooms.

I already mentioned in my post that he had no singles left when I arrived...he gave me a double at single price. Me thinks that Lorenzo the owner is pretty decent.

[Beads]

Just got back from my first of many visits to Hotel New Garden. Lorenzo was great to us. The place was the same as last time. Hotel security guard works from 6pm to 6am and collects cedulas of the chicas while inside the hotel. The food is good. Definitely do breakfast there its nice. Chicas can be found inside the hotel also at times. I think they only let inside ones they know and possibly their friends. During my 5 days there were probably 10 or so chicas wandering around.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST emailing ahead for a room because the place was full while we were there.

[MrHappy]

Out of the ten times I've tried to stay there, I've only been lucky twice. Jimmy's always rubbin' me about that...lol

Both times I was with two girls, and we stayed in room #2, for 50 bucks a night.

I finally figured out you gotta reserve in advance.

No one asked for the girls cedulas, but I imagine it's because the word got out among the employees that they both checked in with me.

Breakfast didn't appeal to me there. I'm stuck on Rocky's breakfast #50. Now that's a big breakfast.

La Roca does a pretty good breakfast too, as does Scott's place. Scott just needs to knock his prices down a bit.

[Beads]

never ate at Scotts La Roca is good on Sundays.

[MrHappy]

Scott's breakfast is good, but too expensive at 175 pesos.

You can get more food at Rocky's for only 125.

Rocky's # 50 has 4 eggs, ham, toast, jelly, and all the coffee you want. The 175 peso meal at Scott's has only two eggs.

Plus, it doesn't matter if you ask for regular or crispy bacon, eggs over easy or with the yolk fully cooked at Scotts, the cook will send it to you the way he likes. Everytime we've eaten at Scott's we've had to send breakfast back.
(Scott, you know I luv ya baby, but I told you that before)
I still really like the other meals he serves. I ordered a bowl of chili and some french fries the other night that was excellent!! Maybe he'll put it on the menu..

same block as rockys just walk past Rockys and its on the same side of the street even.

28 Days baby!!!!!!!

[Beads]

Something else to add here. If your renting a scooter or dirtbike NewGarden has a type of enclosed area used as a garage. It held 4 bikes and 2 scooters along with the hotel staff and owners car and equipment so its very convenient . Im not sure how safe it would be parking a motorcycle or a scooter out on the street but in there it was fine.

[dbros9]

Just got back - New Garden is a great place - very very clean - nice pool much better than the Europa - the only complaint was the night security guard , a total asshole. anytime you brought someone back he would try to hit you up for money even if the girl had documents. if you said no he would then badger the girl to tell you to give him money. A guy a know who stayed there had a problem with a girl in his room (a real wacko i guess) he called the guard up to get her out and she wouldn't go for him either so he just left her there. He had to threaten to go to Lorenzo for him to finally do anything.
With the exception useless guard the place is awesome.

Sounds like the same guard from the Romanoff.

[ROVER]

Thanks for the heads up dbros9.

[Beads]

sucks hearing about the security guard he didnt ask me for anything the whole time I was there.I did have a few beers with him a couple nights when I just saw him sitting outside and I was having a smoke break between giving the chica some poundings. I did hear he asked a friend of mine for 100 pesos one night though and he gave it to him.

If they guy does his job I can see throwing him a tip at the end of the stay which I did, but definitely not hassling people during their stay.

[sosuaman]

i had a completely different reaction to the guard,,,
he was a nice guy who doesn't make much money,,,
i rented a moto for 10 days and parked it in their "garage",,
on 1 or 2 nites i brought the guy back some brugfal rum i got for 99 pesos,,
or i'd slip him 100 pesos a couple times during the trip.,,
imho it's nice to have the security guard on your side,,
always did that with the guys at the europa as well..
nice to have the guys that are carrying the guns on your side,,,
he'd watch my bike just that little extra and never asked for a cedula from my chicas...i'd just wave and he would do the same,,,
i always tip in the states and what the hell is 3 bucks here and there for the little fringe benefits it gives ya,,,

[DEPUTY DAWG]

Not only am I'm not going to be shaked down by the security guard but I'll take the chica pass him not leaving the cedula either when they try that shit!!!!!! With that guy I didn't have any problems with except my last night when he asked my chica for her cedula when he didn't ask for hers the previous night. So I got close up to him so as not too front him off in her face and told him that him that was bullshit for doing that and I'm not giving him shit and we're not friends anymore

When the guards are taking care of me then I make sure they know I appreciate it...........

I agree. A couple of pesos thrown the security guard's way to look out for me doesnt seem a problem. Just as long as he doesnt have his hand out all of the time and his shinanigans doesn't prevent me from voltronin' up on some chocha.

Doesn't bother me to throw a small bottle his way, if it will mean a hassle free vacation. Remember we are not in the states. In the states we would just say fuck him and report him.

I have no problem throwing the guy a few drinks or some pesos at the end of the trip as long as he has earned it. The people down there who just stand around with their hand out thinking they deserve something for nothing ruins it for the hard working people.

Work for your money like the rest of us!
