Back from Sosua, wowwwwwwwwwwww


I cant wait to go back...

sounded like you loved it more than anything.

just a thought.

And I went back, I couldnt wait to go back to Sosua, not Casa Marina, I went there only coz it was cheap and AI, 7004 canadian for hotel and plane for 1 week. And I said the one I went in the hill was better, not that Casa Marina is that bad, but it's a 3 star and that's what we get!

I have walked the Sosua Mar club about a month ago.
The people living there said it was for sale, the whole place for $10,000US.
They also said that an American started it, married a Dominican and then they divorced, she now owns it still. This is what I was told.
The place is in poor shape. I did not get a chance to see the individual apt's or condos, but would have to assume that they are just shells, totally unkept and in major need of repair/ maintenance. The main pool house and tennis court area buildings have all been stripped of wires and what not and are just a shell of a building. A mini resort that once was probably very nice but now almost in disrepair.

10K?

If they're only asking 10K for the whole place, I'd be very wary of the documentation, especially if there's a divorce..

That's the kind of place I'd LOVE to get my hands on, that's right up my alley.

It used to be called Club Escapade in the late 80's early 90's...I went several times during that time.

JD,
drive up there and enter the main drive on the left. You will see a row of condo's/ apts. on your left. This is where people where obviously living/ staying about 6 units down as I recall.
I walked past the other apts., down the hill to the pool/ tennis area. They looked stripped as you can imagine a mini resort, deserted and freebies everywhere for the local ladrones.
As mentioned earlier, it is in pretty bad shape and getting worse just sitting there.
$10,000US was the figure an old man told me, he also claimed to be the caretaker. What he was taking care of I have no idea.
When I was told the price I knew something was not right.
It's worth the effort to look into, but it's a money pit as it stands IMO
