The New Garden Hotel in Sosua and the Garden Hotel in Las Terranas are totally different from The Garden Condos in Sosua.

The Condos are being developed by a very well respected and experienced developer who has been in the DR building and managing projects such as this for 20+ years.

Default ref. the gardens sosua

Thanks for your reply, the gardens condo's in sosua the ones you refer to as been developed by a well respected developer, these are the ones I am talking about, I read that they are been build as part of The new garden hotel in Sosua. Is this correct? I am not talking about las Terranas. What about the general area?

To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe there is any connection between the 2 properties at all.

Garden Condos are not connected with the New Garden Hotel in any way.
Great location. Of course Owners of a condo unit could not be stopped bringing guests unless they were disturbing the peace. There were some recent comments about the New Garden Hotel....as stated that is not connected, different owners, different builder/developer. I have known the builder/developer for 20 years and he and his wife are not in favor of the type of guests you are referring to. They like a peaceful, quiet place.

The main problem with the Garden Condos IS the developer. Ron Blisset has a horrible reputation among most that have been involved with his projects. Ask anyone that has property at The Palms. He (Blisset) promised titles years ago and so far has delivered nothing. Ask anyone at Tradewinds. Blisset still retains ownership of the common area even though it does him no good. He always wants a bargaining chip in his pocket. He is nothing but an old bully that's used to getting his way.
First rule of thumb for me is to not buy any property he has EVER had any association with because he taints everything he touches.

During last five months there is no any progress in construction work at all.

They even increased the promised return to investors/buyers from 6% to 7% but still there is very little interest.

In the near future they will build another big building along the street wall. After which density of population in the complex will be the highest in the North Coast.

In February Remax guaranteed that in August people will be living in their appartments without any construction work in the site.

And tried to scare into purchase saying that from August 1 prices will be INCREASED by 5%.

In the middle of devastating recession and RE decline without end in sight. Hmmm...
