Just returned from Juan Dolio

[MommC]

Do a search for Plaza Perla Mar in Juan Dolio....
Above Il Cappucino....
Not a hotel - rather rooms to rent....
Nice rooms - A/C , cable TV, Kitchenette etc.
Cleaned daily with fresh towels....right on the beach.
Had friends who stayed there for two weeks and loved it! They just left Monday.
I posted the phone # in a thread for rellosk.....
price fro US$25/night depending on room.
Your Welcome!

Looking for first hand experience with the Albatros. Clean? AC? Plenty of hot water? Towels? Service? Please advise.

Can't tell you much about Albatros other than that I have met people who stay there every year.......Lot's of Italians from Italy and Canada make it their winter home for a few months at a time.
It's a little out of the way at the far end of the Villas Del Mar section of Juan Dolio.

thank you !!!! it is so nice you offer advice. Any suggestions for my wife who was looking for a 5 star hotel and spa atmosphere? Is there anything around for her to do? Or our children? In advance, thanks.

Yes.....there is a spa just down the street from Albatross.
Located in the small plaza that houses Banco Popular and a medical center.
I'm not sure if Albatross has a childrens' club but there really isn't much in Juan Dolio for children other than the beach.
You might take them to Metro Golf and Country club for a round of mini golf and there is a children's play area (if they are young) there also.
Flor di Loto offers yoga classes Mon. Weds & Fri. from 5PM to 6PM. Children are welcomed if accompanied by an adult so you or your wife (or both) might want to check out the classes. It is located at the far end of old Juan Dolio on the beach road so a motoconcho ride would be in order to get there or you could catch a guagua from the main highway.
