That will be up to you. I've stayed at both (and several others). The Madejra is right in the middle of the action which means that your comings and goings will be noticed and you will find yourself bumping into the regular street crowd whether you want to or not. (Dammit! Still can't space using 'enter' key!) The Calypso is directly across the street from one casa and a block and a half from another with a nice colmado situated right in between. Because of the bus stop there are many moto guys right across the street from the hotel to whiz you to and fro and you might be more comfortable bringing Chicas in and out of your place without being on Front Street about it. It really all depends on how you like to roll, personally I like a modicum of privacy which is why I prefer "The Palace" (Villa Florencia).

I've worked with both rental agencies there (one is Italian, the other Dominican) and I couldn't get the 1BR rate below $100/ day for a short stay but on the Dominican side they offered a monthly rate of $1,800 which I thought was more than worth it. Only problem is I can't leave for a month and if I could, I'd be having that conversation with an Indian Ocean property in Mtwapa or Dar Es Salaam. The time of year also has a lot to do with the price. I'll bet we could get in well below the century mark in September. At $150 for the 2BR the place is a great deal for road dogs who understand both the science and the art of the hobby.

It's catty-corner from the Candy Shop and Calypso. Walking to the Calypso from El Batey you have to walk past it. http://villaflorencia.net/

Essexboy - Maretti ( the only other BM here ) and me checked out the Castello and Calypso for you today. Have pics from both. Could post for you if needed, but I am on vacation now. We both like the Calypso and Maretti is thinking about moving for his last two nights. The Asst Manager said $45.00 a night for a 1 bed room unit. Posted at $48 AND Doble at 65. Airport pick up at $20 during the day. Should be a nice place to sleep during the day. Pool looked good and not far to walk at all. One small microwave down stairs you can use. Parking in front. Key safe.

Here at the Madejra is a great spot. Right at the action and beach. But noisy as shit. The street noise comes right through the walls. Trash truck comes early in the morning. Even the chica bitch. Guess that's my only big problem. Need a padlock for safe.

Next time it looks like the Calypso for me.
