Coming by car or on foot….
If you are depending on a Spanish
speaking driver or guide, the map and Spanish instructions in red will
be sufficient for him to find Café Cito. It will only be someone
whose "brother (friend, sister, mother'in'law, etc) has a better
restaurant" who might say they can’t find Café
Cito.
If you are walking or driving,
you'll find us on th e Puerto Plata - Sosua highway located just a 1/2
kilometer west of Playa Dorada and 1/2 kilometer east of Iberostar,
right next to Avis Rent-a-Car. It's actually a nice walk from any of
the Playa Dorada or Costa Dorada Resorts.
If you are coming by taxi from
a nearby resort be prepared for the taxi driver’s attempt to
offer you two way service with a two hour waiting time. He wants to
"pre-sell" the return trip. This is fine if it makes you comfortable
to know your driver will be there for you, but we recommend you take
the taxi one way only, and we will make sure you have a safe taxi to
go back. It is understandable that you want to feel safe in a strange
land, but keep in mind that Cafe Cito is owned and operated by a Canadian
guy who could have been your next door neighbor. Once you are here you
will feel comfortable and at home, so much so that you just might want
to stay for three or four hours. This happens all the time. But if after
two hours your driver is pawing and shuffling for you to get going you
may feel obligated and sorry that you have to cut short your good time.
Also, be prepared for the possibility that the taxi driver says
that he doesn’t know where we are, or that we are closed that day
or that we are in a bad neighborhood, or that he has a brother in law
with a much better restaurant. Any of these excuses may be motivated
by the fact that I don’t believe I should have to increase my prices
just to paya commission o a driver, who is getting paid for driving,
just so that he will be willing to endorse my place or be otherwise
willing to take paying passengers to where they want to go. With the
instructions above, anybody can get here. Bottom line… talk to
your driver before you get in his car, and if there is any uncertainty,
call us at 586-7923, ask for Tim or Maria, and we will help.
See you soon at
Cafe Cito!
