Those who have stayed or are considering staying at El Neptuno condominium in Sosua will be interested in knowing that security is being significantly upgraded.
Workers are in the process of raising the wall on one side of the property by 3+' with wrought iron. Gates are being installed on all the stairways leading from the street to the building and all but one will be locked with padlocks. The gate that will be used by most will also be locked,but with an electronic keyless lock. Each authorized person will have a code that opens the gate. The lock can handle up to 90 different codes, so each apartment will have its own code, and codes will be deleted as soon as a renter checks out.
The day entrance for visitors and others who do not have a code will be the entrance to the property by the office,which means walking through the property to get to the building. This will increase chances of spotting an intruder. At night, this gate will be locked and also the gate from the pool area to the terrace in front of the building. The night entrance will be the gate with the electronic gate and it will be opened by the night watchman for persons who are not authorized to have a code. A record will be made of all persons admitted by the night watchman.
The back of the building is also being closed off with 6' cyclone fence.
Other measures are likely in the future, after we have some experience with the above described. To the extent possible, our plan is to make El Neptuno a gated community.
