Hi Bluenose & Bluenose2
I am so jealous that you get to go for 5 weeks!
I have never been to Jellyfish to eat, I have only walked past it a few times.
Soles is another restaurant on the beach near by and the Bamboo Bar. They have really good pizza there.
I have stayed here twice in the one bedroom only. Each time they have been very clean, and I have always felt safe there. They do have a "watchman" at the gated entrance that they close every night. Even during the day one of my friends came for a visit, and they almost didn't let her in because she didn't have my apartment number.
They apartment's have the bare necessities. There was no iron or toaster. The one bedroom only has 2 burners on the counter top. The two bedroom I looked in did have a small oven. To me it would be worth getting the two bedroom for that reason. They do have towels, but they were very thin.
I always take a few extra towels and beach towles. There were no floor rugs in the bathroom, so I always ended up using towels on the floor and in the bedroom to help with the sand. so if you have the room, that may be a good item to take.
I usually always also take some cheap kitchen utensils for cooking and a cheap can opener. I always leave them in the apartment, so they may still be there. Also an alarm clock.
I do think they had screens, but it has now been a few years since I have stayed there.
For the beach chairs...just do not use the one's at the Ocean Bavaro right next door, you will be ran off! I do usually take a floatie to use, and that works fine.
I have only stayed there for a week at a time, so I don't know about any laundry service other than a little hand washing in the sink.
I do not own a cell phone, but when I was there last July I stayed for 10 nights and just bought a used phone for $15.00 with 300 minutes. But that was in Higuey. I do know that there is a phone place close to the apartment, but I have never used it.
If I left anything out, just ask again.... I hope this will help you out.
