Hey just wanted to clarify this issue of a couple months back. The Coco or its staff never did or NEVER would solicit money like this! If you have been following the "Google vs Chinese Government story" you may know that thousands of G-mail accounts were hit in this way, probably by Chinese government "sanctioned" hackers. Unfortunately the Coco G-Mail was one of those many accounts "hit", and then various "scams" were tried by the perpetrators. When Google intervened to fix the problem they wiped out the Coco G-Mails contact list so the hotel was UNABLE to advise any previous e-mail contacts of this scam. All appears to have been "fixed" by the Google folks who took these incidents extremely seriously. Thanks for your understanding of this situation, and again apologies to anyone affected.

For those of you looking for Villas or apartments, condos call them what you want he is some info somebody might be able to use.
I think we all know Hispaniola up the hill from the police station is nice and a much shorter walk than the Palms/Tradwinds that I don't personally would never do that hill without a car. Some guys at passions told me the motos start at 200 up there because they know they got you but I told them not to pay over 50.
Here is another option for you on the road to Mulatta which also goes up hill to the right off the highway. It is about 100 meters or more past the entrance road to Palms/Tradewinds. However it is paved in new blacktop and smooth as can be. Rare in Sosua. I suppose because of some money up there.
I drove up there to go to the Thai Restaurant called Chili but they don't open until 6pm and only on Weds-Sunday.
These two places I am told both do rentals.

Good info
I tried to send you a private message but your box if full. Appreciate any advice you or anyone can give me!
Hey, I'm reading and old post of yours from '08. Did you actually go through with the villa? How did you go about reserving your stay? Did they ask for money upfront, etc? I'm thinking about going the villa route for my next trip. Even though I'm going solo, the appeal of the villa is too much. I appreciate any help/advice you can offer. Thanks!
We are 3 guys in their mid 50's. We a planning a trip in Feb 2011. We are looking for a condo/villa that is within a 2 min walk to town and beach. Price doesn't matter but want a super luxury, 3 bedroom, 3 bath or larger place to party and bring chicas. I want a place that has as much action as possible in terms of beach and accessability to the town. Looks like the Sosua Bay Resort has a great location but I don't want to stay there. I would love a place to rent on our own nearby if that's the best location on the strip. Any ideas?
The only problem with Residencial Hispaniola is that you will be required to have a vehicle to bring the chicas in and out. So, even of you always arrived in a taxi you'd have to call another to take them from the villas to the street. You will not be allowed to walk them in or out and scooters/motos won't work either. Basically you will have to rent a vehicle and it does not sound like that's in your plan.
I've never stayed there but is has, somewhat recently, been discussed here before...and a search should bring it up without too much effort.
Has anyone got any information on Garden Condos (location, rent prices, rules, contacts etc)?
Here is one of many links available:

Maybe there is a need for a separate thread.
I am only interested in rental potential. There are many other viable options, but things change and keeping up to what's going on won't hurt.

Gents,
can anyone tell me the name of the hotel directly across the street from New gardens?
Thanks
El Paradiso I think.

Yup
Garden Condos:
Do you know where Judy's cambio was back in the day?
Pretty sure it is behind there with the entrance the driveway at the right of the buillding when facing it.
Caribe Campo:
Management has changed and I no longer "know" much. For renting it's fine but haggle...there may be a lot of wiggle room depending on the owner of the unit.
IMO it's too far from the highway and the main are of Sosua if you do not have a vehicle and in shitty weather it'd suck. The good news is that there is/was a little colmado in the place right beside it and there is a new one by The Palms so you don't have to go too far for basics.
