At check in I made the mistake of pulling out cash and from that point on I was markedâŠstaff were begging me for tipsâŠin a verbal way or body language wayâŠwhen I gave the bell boy $5 for two small bags⊠he looked disappointed (at check I gave hime $10)âŠ. had a swim-up room âŠI saw the drink butler once. They staff cater to international people n only to people who tip them on a regular like every mealâŠevery drinkâŠI forgot why I havenât been backâŠ. I remember now! I only came to Puerta Plata Sosua because my great neice had her first bday party! The property is in the middle of the ghetto but the beach was beautiful looking and the waves were rough. Food is mediocre. You wonât get a hit shower there⊠in the stores, they double the price once they find out youâre American. I baseball cap becomes $20 n they donât want to give a receipt b/c they are pocketing 1/2 the money:)âŠmosquitoesâŠbring peppermint of OFF âŠhereâs two great ideas LEARN SPANISH n learn how to convert pesos to USD. I give the restaurants a 3âŠservice 3.5 cleanliness..4 âŠfriendliness 3.5âŠI would try CURIO itâs classier.
