I am among those that think the New Garden will not be the same without Wilfried. However, that is not to say that there weren't problems when he was there as well just not as many.
I think the difference is that it appeared that Wilfried was genuinely concerned about you enjoying your stay and making things right when an error was made vs. Lorenzo who seems indifferent to your presence even when pressed for a hello, but hey maybe that's just his personality and it is what it is.
I was "bumped" once from my first two nights of a 7 day trip. Wilfried was very apologetic and arranged a stay at Casa Cayena for those two nights and I probably would have just stayed there, but I had booked in the new section (at the time) of the New Garden and they were much nicer then my room at Casa Cayana (they were charging me the same rate as NG).
I actually think there was no error on Wilfried's part I think one of Lorenzo's buddies decided to extend his stay and thus no room at the inn for me.
There are a lot of business lessons here. Wilfried was a key employee and apparently made things work right....soon the boss will begin to realize this.
The Terra Linda hotel has a great facility but they think they can charge top dollar and more than the going rate. They can't fill the rooms at that rate so they bargain with some people with lower rates....consequently, no one knows the real rate and people stay away. As so many have said before, they need to do the math and figure out how much $55 at 90% occupancy is compared to $79 at 40% occupancy. Then add in the increased restaurant business.
Rocky's facility is low end, admittedly, but the price is the same low price for everyone, they are organized, prompt with communication and treat you like a friend when you are there....and they are most always full.

Damn! People I cannot say enough about the value Wilfried brought to NG. I met jd426 and sporthobbyist via his intros. MOTHER FUCKED! Not just that though. On one of my last days I had a happy hour and the girls trashed the room. They used up all the towels...the sheets were all fucked over and wet...there was lube on the floor, the sheets... Shit, and it was just the early afternoon. How am I gonna smash tonight like this, I thought. I just went down afterwards and told Wilfried and he immediately had a maid straighten up and clean up the place. I totally tip the maid. I KNEW I could go to Wilfried with this request. He always answered my emails personally and promptly before my trip. While I was there he truly made me feel welcome and comfortable.
I will NOT be staying at NG for my next trip, as long as Wilfried is not there.
Thanks for the postings re the alternatives- Tierra Linda, Rockies and so on.
KEEP SHARING THE INFO!!

It is my understanding that Wilfried has no intention of working there again. He went on vacation Dec.25 and hasn't worked there since. Any other disagreements between he and Lorenzo have been resolved quickly, so I think the length of time doesn't bode well for a reconciliation. If he did return, it would have to be on Wilfried's terms. He certainly isn't desperate for work.
Walking Drunk anywhere or any distance especially from all the eyes in Classicos is risky. Hotel D'Piero is a straight shot down PC before Passions and a cheap cab or moto ride so if you can save $20 Every Single Night on the room rate of $55 vs $35 at D'Piero hell you could pay for a cab to Cabarete or farther. It is only a 6-7 minute walk as Apos has posted and some people in good shape do it in 5 minutes right Dany
Heard that about not 3 star and somebody posted Rats there at Casa Cayena. I am sure they fixed that but if D'Piero every runs out of Apartments with full kitchen for $50 then I guess I could go to a place like Cayena without a jacuzzi for the same money. Well that is if D'Piero was also out of all the $35 and $40 rooms.
Don where are you?? Pump you place and put in your 2 cents on this NG breakdown. Don's has a nice pool too like D' Piero
Well on this past trip Terra Linda was packed. They even had tables out in front of the building so that guys could eat breakfast and watch the chicas walkout lol. Terra Linda has a set or certain type of guest they are looking for. Honestly I think they appeal more to the NYC, crowd who look at 60 to 79 dollars a night on a 4 or 5 night stay as cheap. Also, those guys may come down 1 or 2 times a year vs the guys who come 5 times or more.
I little of topic, I never been to Sosua and I choose the El Colibri and so far I have to say that Monique Harpman Does an excellent job and making sure you get what you need, communication is Top notch.
Also other members talk very good about Piero's, I know both of those 2 places are further up PC, maybe thats why they take good care of customers.
And the ones close to the action could care less about customer service.
And I got the best Room at the Colibri for $50.00 and it runs for $60.00 + free breakfast and pickup from airport, so I saved about $240.00 on just that.
