well I am eating crow , I posted a few times i thought the P-G hotel was right next to the waterfront.... and the waterfront was right next to the Sosua bay...but from this photo and remembering the driveways....this is the waterfront hotel in this photo. The little pool LEFT of the red roofed building is the waterfronts pool. I also imagine9 since i didnt get to stay there, that the rooms are LEFT of the pool!( I may be wrong about the rooms being left of the pool...in the next picture it looks like the rooms belong to the next hotel over...

I got to tell ya, Bob,
There are some rare posts that are just plain entertaining to see/read, and this one is in the all time "Top 10"..
Your pix are absolutely awesome, and will be useful for years to come.
Having aerial views of Sosua to show to tourists & newbies, is priceless.
A lot of people get confused, getting around El Batey, to the beach, in Charamicos, etc.
These pics make it really clear.
You got my vote for post of the year.

The photo with the large hotel and the beach is the Casa Marina Hotel. If you look at the right of the photo you will see the Waterfront with its small pool.

YEs, in the first photo (posted at 11:09) the pool to left of the Red Roof building (which are the condos C21 are selling) is the pool of the Waterfront. The restaurant of the Waterfront and most of the rooms are hidden completely by the trees with the photo taken from that angle.
In the other photo posted at 11:15 there is even less to see of the pool and rooms.

I agree with James, the Waterfront is tiny and hidden, the long buildings and big pools are Casa Marina Reef and Casa Marina Beach. From Sosua Bay Hote, the next one will be PG and then around the corner few condos like Blue Bayou, the brand new condo buliding then Waterfront ten CMR, CMB, then Sosua By the Sea...I might be wrong, Rocky is the best to ask and explain anything Sosua-like

I still get a kick out of these pix, even days after they were first posted.
