08/2010 - Hotel El Colibri

[Tiger]

I have gotten much more bang for the buck giving chicas my money for their language skills. Honestly, the chicas I have been with have taught me a great deal of spanish mainly because they spoke no english and I expressed a desire to learn and each one was happy to oblige.Regarding pasado, presenta and futuro all knew them but pasado perfecto. futuro perfecto and presenta perfecta was not known by most. I am here to enjoy the chicas so as long as I get what they say to me and what I say to them is understood I am good with that.

What is this all about??

What is this all about??

He's talking about verb tenses (past perfect, etc) and saying most chicas weren't good at conjugating verbs or understanding what he was asking, lol!!!

If he thinks they were bad at conjugating then maybe there just wasn't any chemistry...

Or maybe he's spending too much time reading Spanish textbooks and not talking to Dominicans.

Come on now UC, you know damn well the way Utesa Girls speak spanish and the way most of Sosua chicas speak spanish its like they come from 2 completely different worlds .

I am trying to book El Colibri for 6 days in late February, but their email says they want 50% up front. I have never stayed at this hotel or paid in advance on any hotel in the DR. Can this hotel management be trusted?????

They're certainly saying YOU can't be trusted. 50% is pretty steep, and I'd bet it's not refundable either.

I've stayed there a few times and just booked another stay starting this Fri. Never had a problem, There web site is a little outdated. They gave me 10% off when they replied. I think that was for 7 days or more and another 5% for after I mentioned ISCO. So I got 15% off. So yes imo they can be trusted and never heard of anyone else having a problem with a deposit.


Here is there cancellation policy:
In case of cancellation: If cancelled from the date of the deposit up to two nights

before the date of arrival, 50 percent of all nights will be charged. In case of

cancellation two nights before arrival and in case of no-show, the total price

of the reservation will be charged.

You can trust Monique. I have paid 100% in advance trough paypal a couple of time so i didnt have to carry money with me.
I stayed there on 5 trips and never had a problem.

[Apos]

Is there really a need to pay anything in advance? There are very few times when you would find it difficult to easily find a good room in Sosua as a walk and the hotel owners know this. They're just trying to lock you in because times are tough.

Monique will stand by you thats for sure, Just print your stuff after payment just in case, I always stay at the Colibri and never had any probs with payment.

They are one of the few hotels in Sosua that charge that its only a security in case you dont show.

I wouldn't even bother to reserve. If your not comfortable paying 50% up front, just show up. What are the odds that they will be full????

It was full 2 weeks ago and i had to stay at Piero's

[bailar]

I'd rather be at Piero's anyway!!

[michel3275]

I was at colibri 5 times and Piero' s 3 times.
Rooms are larger at colibri
Apartments look better at piero's
Colibri's bed are more confortable than rock hard beds at piero's
Piero's closer
Colibri's pool is bigger and cleaner than piero's
Piero's restaurant is better and friendlier.
Security at Colibri is much better.
Cuba libre is right across the street from Colibri
There's a litlle market across the street from Piero's
Prices are about the same

So depends on whats important for you.

I prefer colibri but i like both of them

[JD426]

I'm in ice cold montreal driving my kids to hockey games all weekend and i'm freezing

[Mr. Smooth]

If I was choosing between the two, having a comfortable bed to sleep on instead of a rock hard one would close the deal for me. Colibri by a nose.

Another issue i have with Piero's is security.
On my last trip, i had a chica with me and we ordered food on the phone from one of her motoconcho friend. I taught he would call when he would be at the hotel so we can go get the food at the gate. Instead he knocked at my rooms door on the third floor to deliver our food at 3 am. I was angry and told the chica never to do that again or i throw her out the door and never call her again.

Security at Piero's is not responsible for who comes and goes on the property; just like they are not responsible for a chica leaving with a laptop under her arm. I posted this to save Mike Lodge the trouble of doing it himself. Just trying to be helpful.
