Looking for a very nice place in Boca Chica, on the ocean if possible. Are guest allowed in the AI resorts, I heard that some places don't let you have guest is that true, can they really do that? If so which places should I avoid?

stayed at the garant for 2-3 weeks at a time for 8 years or better. never had a problem . chica friendly. will always go back there. stayed at other places, such as el candil and costa lunga, but that was with my wife . if u r single the garant is my choice. read other threads , they will give u good advice. as there r different opinions. but the garant was great for me.

i like the el candil...nice hotel, clean rooms and 3 blocks from the beach and nightlife/bars, etc.

avoid the AI's if you're looking for chica-friendly. i stayed at the Hamaca once, never again although the casino is very nice...

Hi there the web address is
Hotel Boca Chica Residencial El Candil, Rep?blica Dominicana

I stayed at the El Candil for 16 days late february and loved the apartment style hotel. I have also stayed at the Garant and as stated it is a very clean nice hotel as well. All the small hotels in Boca Chica are guest friendly as far as I have seen in the last 11 years of going to BC. But for the extra money the apartment at the el candil was so much better for entertaining!! Have a great holiday!!

Is el candil a good place to stay with family. I have brought my extended family down, grandmother and mother included. Is it close walking distance to the beach, is it family oriented-don''t want to be around any working girls and mongers. Is it clean and kept up with well.

Is is a nice hybrid of hoes and families, not too much of either. Stay in Juan Dolio if you need a sterile environment. You will not avoid this in Boca Chica unless you stay at Be Live Hamaca, and even there you got Sanky shenanigans. Zapata has a lower percentage of mongers, right on the beach.

el candil is a gated hotel with an electronic lock. they have a restaurant and a variety of rooms to choose from. every now and then you will see working girls there but the management ask that you be discreet about it. for your older relatives the walk to the beach is down a hill about 3 blocks and the walk back is up a hill. might be a problem but the hill is not that steep. at the bottom of the hill lies plenty of deported individuals on motos (they speak english better than me) looking to make a fast buck. i usually walk up to the corner make a right, walk down about 2 blocks and then a left down to the beach by hotel garant.

good luck.....
