non AI option in Sosua
Hi guys,
I am planning a trip to DR and want o spend few days in Sosua, which hotel is better - Club Residencial or Playa Colibri or maybe El Paraiso? I am not a fan of AI but I want something comfortable because I am coming with my mom (to show her the country that I fell in love with). Security is very important for me, I was robbed in Sosua in 2003 and still am a bit cautious.
Thanks.

If you are coming with your Mom I would cross Club Residencial off the list. Your Mom may not enjoy the area surrounding Club Residencial. 
Club Residencial is a very nice ApartHotel. It is usually my #1 choice. I just think it is not Mom friendly.

Did you check Sosua by the Sea? it is a small boutique hotel with the services of a big hotel. If you don't need the big entertainment of the AI resorts, and prefer a relaxing place, I would recomend it.
Just google and you will find some info.
Enjoy your holiday!

thanks, I know Sosua by the sea but it is open I mean people can enter from outside and I would rather stayed in a place where you have just one guarded entrance

I am not familiar with Playa Colibri, but if you mean, El Colibri, then it is a bit far from the center of town, and I can't see it being more secure than Club Residencial. El Paraiso is very secure, and very close to everything.

Yes I meant El Colibri, I confused its name with the place in Las Terrenas. Thanks I also thought El Paraiso has the best location, but I remembered it was usually deserted back in the days...
thanks Rocky

They close El Paraiso after high season, so it may have appeared deserted to you.
Another good option might be the Waterfront.
I bump a lot of our overflow into there, and I have never heard of any security problems, and it would be a bit less sterile than El Paraiso.
The view from the pool is awesome and there is now a new beach right in front of it.

You guessed it. As soon as you walk out the front gate there are Hookers everywhere  . Club Residencial is very, very secure but it is a 10 minute walk to the center of town. If you want to be close to the street ladies Club Residencial is the place to be. If you want to be closer to the center of town than take the advice of some of the other replies.
Are you and your Mom going to share one room? What is your price range for a room? Do you want something fancy or just a simple room with bed and bath?

we will share the room that's why i wanted an apartment, we plan to spend a week in las terrenas and just few days in sosua, the budget is not big around $50 I mean I only plan to sleep in the place so don't want to spend that much, would rather enjoy life more and eat and drink
