Hello All
I'm traveling to DR next week and I want to spend a night or two in Boca Chica. I will be traveling with my husband (who is dominican, but doesnt know the area.) We spent one night in Boca Chica in May, and stayed at the Hostel Zapatas. It was nice and clean and pleasant, but the management rubbed us the wrong way (free breakfast, not entirely true, and a few other white lies.) We would like to stay someplace new. But we are on a very very tight budget this time around.
I checked out bocachicabeach.net and bocachicaplaya.com, and I only got one postive response from all the queries I sent out. (Los Pinos @ $35/night. Anyone been there?) We would like to stay at $35 and under in a nice clean place with AC and a private bath. Anyone have any info about Tropical Magic?
I also did a search here, but most of the threads that came up were old, and I'm not sure the information is current. (places get run down, management changes, etc.)
If anyone can give me some feedback about some of the smaller hotels in Boca Chica I would really appreciate it. I only queried places listed on bocachicaplaya.com because they had good clear pictures. But on bocachicabeach.net they have a lot more places listed, but in a lot of cases, no pictures of the rooms, and I am afraid to book a room without knowing what I am getting into. I am easily grossed out when it comes to bedrooms and especially bathrooms (and we are trying for romance, and not a night spent scanning the walls for roaches.)
Thank you in advance.
