las canas - sosua
I mean there are guards but its quite accessible , I know of people that have had problems there, but that can be said of a lot of places.
Sometimes its just down to luck

The road up to Las Canas, from the highway, can be dangerous at night. I wouldn't walk it alone, for sure.
Correct and I have lived in that area for 9 years. Having said that, there are not many places outside of the town where you should walk after dark.
That place is called La Cana, between Veragua and Gaspar Hernandez. The OP was asking about Las Canas, the aparta hotel complex up the La Mulata road in Sosua.

Hammer it is actually called Las Canas as well near GH. This confused me a lot when i first moved here b/c people kept saying we were neighbors but they were talking about the Sosua Las Canas!!
I like your handle by the way!

From everything that I have heard first- and third-hand, Las Canas/La Mulata is not a safe place. They love to tout it to foreigners, bc it is secluded and relatively inexpensive. I have a great friend here who was looking for a place for himself and his Canadian gf, and when he asked about security, the agent said, "Well, do you have a big dog?"
It is a long schlep into Sosua; the road getting there, via moto, taxi, etc., is horrific; and it is "secluded." It is very beautiful, and quiet, which is a premium in Sosua. In some parts of the world, secluded is a good thing, but in the 2.5 world of Sosua, it is definitely not a plus. It means that it is well-known to the local ladrones as secluded, and it takes a long time for the police to get there, if they even bother.

TROPIX is close to town and very quiet, but not *guest friendly* as far as I know. Other than that, I hear good things about Perla de Sosua.
