For a single female visiting BC, the challenge may be to find good security AND a non-monger environment (without going to an AI, that is). My wife and I were quite happy with the Madejra, and had no security concerns at all, but YMMV.

A solo-female is likely to be seeking 2 things - proximity to the beach, and a safe walk to/from dinner/drinks on Duarte after dark.

If my 20-something daughter were going to BC, I'd suggest the Madejra for those reasons... or maybe the Zapata (though it can be a bit dark 'tween it and the heart of Duarte). Candil would be fine, but I'd worry about a little about the Duarte walk after dark (and would NOT want her jumping on motos).

But then again, I'd probably not recommend BC to my solo-traveling daughter anyway. I'd probably encourage her to consider Cabarete or Sosua instead.

DEAR MACHMASCER when the last time you have been to the madejra? before when it was the child of master it was well everything but now with the new manager him and very bad with her clients. I don't advise to go to the madejra suggestion to go to europa or candil or zapata. These hotels are good

master's child gone away end April. I often speak on the phone with him. I have been to the madejra a lot of times. I returned once then alone with the new manager and not me and liked. However the fact stays that I to the madejra don't return there more if the child of the manager doesn't return

June 2007 - and while I'm not sure what/who a "child of master" is, I don't recal seeing him/her/it at the Madejra either.

Hey Mac,
I loved your report, not only for the content, but for the way in which you wrote it.
Sounds like you had a pretty good time, despite the bad start.

In the interest of getting your message across, you can PM me the post in French, and I will translate and post if for you, assuming it's not too long and is reasonable.
