I once discovered my American roots in Sosua.

I just read this yesterday, interesting. The Jalao restaurant is also at the hotel. May go and have a look in a couple of weeks.

I was amazed at how much I connected mentally with the things he wrote. It almost sounds like the hotel is owned by someone who has a lot of experience running cabañas in the DR.

It looks like a very good hotel. Not very central to tourism but the train station is close. I have been to the area several times (relatives) and there are several very good restaurants and bars in the area. I will go in a couple of weeks and see as everyone I am visiting wants to eat at Jalao. I do want to see the art they have in the lobby. Nothing wrong with something different outside of the tourist area.

It looks like they based the room concept on CitizenM hotels.
