Hi all;

After reviewing our rather pitiful financial state, we may have to downgrade from Hotel Tropix to save some $, we're thinking about Koch cabanas, they quoted us $25/night, does that seem high? Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

J & M

Try Charamicos. You might be able to find something around RD$250.00 or US$13.00/day. Mind you, you'll have to share the toilet facilities and showers, if they have water, with 7 or 8 hookers and their clients (sic). Bring candles because I'm sure that they don't have emergency generator. Bring your ear plugs because there will be arguing or fighting all night. Maybe a 9mm. handgun would make you feel more sure of yourselves.
You're obviously joking in your post. But my question is why?

Excuse the joke. Don't go to Charamicos. Depending on when you intend to come visit, we can do something at US$25.00/day. It's a decent place. Visit our site at www.condosdominicano.com
E-mail me if you need any further info. Eddy

We (the whole family) just got back from Eddy's on Tuesday. It is a decent place. Clean and safe. Price was pretty good too. We didn't see any hookers. Jazzcom is kidding.

Hey I was just trying to help Eddy out after he chased the women away!:) That was the best negative sales pitch I have ever seen.

Larry, are you just kissing up to Eddy for one of his beautiful gals?

I know I do:)

Hey Eddy- no hookers, no deal! Charamicos here we come...

But seriously, the reason we ask is staying for two weeks, staying somewhere cheaper will save us over $150, which means we can travel around a little more. Koch cabanas sounds fine for our needs, we wanted to stay somewhere near the water- unless anyone has a horror story we'll keep or reservations there...we didn't mean to offend anyone with the question!

Now if we can just get a mosquito-swatting hooker who brings her own earplugs, we'll be set...

The hotel beaches are about two blocks from Eddy's. Everyone just walks through the hotels with no problem. Lots of closed hotels with fairly empty beaches in front of them. The public beach is also within walking distance.

FWIW, we didn't even need to use mosquito repellent at Eddy's. He does a super job with keeping the place clean.

Jazzcom,
My daughter even noticed how beautiful Eddy's Angels are!

Yes I am in love with one of Eddys angels and you know who she is Scott.Jean and Meghan...Mainer was saying she didnt need mosquito repellent at Eddys..well if this is your first time to DR let me tell ya.."bring mosquito repellent and spray yourself before walking out of POP airport"!Those mosquitos absolutely eat me alive down there.I find OFF is the best.Use it and they will leave you alone.

Hey, I know Charamicos isn't the lap of luxury, but it's not as bad as you guys are making out. At least it's "real".

Mosquitos are pretty bad. I once saw a woman carried away by a bunch of them...

Mainer, you think Eddy picks them for their bartending abilities? I don't think so! The only thing I like about Eddy is his taste in employees. Nah, I take that back, I also like the fact that he has a lot of tv's in the bar:)

Larry, it is hard to decide which one I like the best. Depends on the day and what each one is wearing. Some of them look better some days than they do on other days. I would make them all my next wife!

I never heard of Koch Cabanas btw and I go very often to Sosua. I will be there 11-27- to 12-3 and again on 12-25 to 1-6. I will be picking Larry up at the Airport on the 3rd of Jan and I have been 6-8 times in the last year. Eddy has some very nice condos. You can probably make a deal with Eddy for 2 weeks for a 2 bedroom at the money you are talking about or close. If he doesn't give you a good enough deal we will try and embarrass him into it.

Maybe we can all dine on Larry in Sosua or Puerto Plata or Cabarete... Larry wont mind buying dinner for 20 people he doesnt know!

Hint, just whisper "SEX" in his ear.

jazzcom, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's that place where the white slaver kidnapped those girls last year and took them to Europe to work in a "house". Does that jog your memory?

Ummm, let's see. The Restaurant on the Waterfront is pretty good. There are only four of us. What is the date of the dinner, Larry?

The kids got some bites under their suits at the beach. Don't think they were mosquitoes. Definitely wear your OFF there. Speaking of which, there were several young (and some not so young) ladies seated next to us at the beach who had it off. Is this the norm in Sosua? I believe that they were foreign. I had heard that Dominicans disapproved of topless sunbathing, but these gents seemed anything but disapproving!
