I don’t get the condescending attitude about this…. shyt is basically a shanty hotel
Pro tip about the third world
Paying more doesn't necessarily mean better quality The reason
You get what you pay for applies in america is because of increased competition there's more money and people are chasing rich nikkas so to speak. For example if you want a budget hotel in the states Motel 6 and Super 8 has the market sewn up. Cheaper than that and you're talking trap hotels. You step up to a 2 star or better there's plenty of hotels to choose from so they have to have a level of quality to justify you staying with them.
Sosua is a small beach town that people come to mainly on weekends especially federal hoilday weekends in the states. nikkas need only a cot a jar a hot plate and a spoon.
I know that you're on a short vacay but If you choose to come back rent a airbnb for
2 nights max That way if you don't like the place you can find a better spot if you like the place you can negotiate with the Host to stay longer.
