Barcelo Cappela Sold??
Lexi, only a part of Capella was sold to Club Hemingway which took possession of it 8 months ago. the west side of Capella is still operating and it will be for another 2 or 3 years and the is the actual news from someone that lives and works in Juan Dolio and that knows the in the know about Juan Dolio.
Thanks JuanDolioLiving. How does that affect the hotel? Did they shut down some of the rooms, pools etc?
Only rooms, if you has benn there are the rooms of the new building in front of the beach.

Do you mean the 4000 block was sold? Those were the only decent rooms....
Just to update anyone in case they are booking at the Capella I did finally find more information.
I had my husband (Dominican) call and they told him that everything was exactly the same and nothing had changed. I found this odd so I called back later and lo and behold they told me (in english) that yes the 4000 block of rooms (which were the best rooms) had been sold and that everything is still open including all the restaraunts and pools etc but now there were less people staying there so more room for other guests.
I can't imagine this hotel will last long like this. Such a shame too because there isn't any nice hotels on the beach in Juan Dolio really anymore. Everything is turning in to condos.
Needless to say we have all decided to rent again at Marbella and have rented 3 condos between us. Sorry Capella but you won't be getting my money this time....unless we pop over for a day pass.
