“What a Gay-rate Place!”

Rocky's Rock & Blues Bar and Hotel

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco, California
Jun 19, 2006
11/19 found this review helpful

A rainbow friendly bar/hotel in the Dominican Republic. This was wonderful!

As a black man, coming from the states, San Francisco, I was a bit nervous after reading some of the posts on local message boards. But Rocky (Marco) held my hand through it all (literally) and made me feel very welcome. What a first night on the town we had! And the others weren't bad either!

Very friendly staff, to all inclinations it seemed. Food is good, but a bit slow. But if you can pry Marco from his cubicle he can keep you entertained for hours with his stories.

Can't wait to visit again. Next time, in October, I promised Marco I'm bringing some of my boyfriends. He and Ted better save up some energy from their usual pah-tay-ing fo' a wild time!

“Inexpensive and convenient”

6/8 found this review helpful

I don't know why the TripAdvisor price is listed as $15, bc Marco charges $22USD. It's a decent place to stay and centrally located. Marco does in fact give you detailed answers if you ask him questions. The food, with the exception of the spagetti, was good and not terribly expensive. But it took forever to get there. No exaggeration.

The day staff is not fluent in English, but the night staff is.

Quick and ample internet service. But it's not free, although this is not posted anywhere.

“Take a walk on the wild side”

Rocky's Rock & Blues Bar and Hotel

Jan 29, 2006
9/12 found this review helpful

I stayed at Rockys several times over the past number of years. If you're looking for a clean, safe, inexpensive place in town you can't go wrong. Marco is a great source of information and will pick you up at the airport. Ted is a character not to be missed. If English is your primary language and you don't know a lot of Spanish then this is the place.

If you're a single traveler and want to take a walk on the wild side, you can't go wrong. Remember, you're right in town near a major crossroads and things are hopping. People who want a more "controlled" environment, or couples with young children might prefer the gated-in all inclusive. If you want a square deal and an authentic Sosua experience, this is the place.

Marco was there at the airport to pick me up and then gave me a choice of rooms....nothing fancy but all I needed....maid service every morning....great breakfasts...safe... fast internet service. Marco was also helpful w/ advice such as best money exchange places . I will be back and also the price quoted is the price you pay! No hidden extras! Also ....the workers at Rocky's like working there and have fun and make you feel welcome!

“terrible”

Rocky's Rock & Blues Bar and Hotel

17/26 found this review helpful

This has to be absolutely the worst hotel I ever had the misfortune of staying at. One night was too much. Noisy, moto conchos going up and down the street all night, noisy music from a prostitute bar a couple of doooors away, cockroaches in the room, soiled sheets, doors slamming all night, you name it anyone who stays here must be desperate. Stay anywhere else they don't get any worse than this dive.

Nan in the u.k.
