JT.
Very nice pics of extremely attractive and sexy young women. The posts regarding Columbian girls as one of the prettiest (knockouts) in SA seems to be true. The offers on the website are highly desirable. I booked a trip to DR for Easter. Perhaps I should have given my travel plans more consideration. Will reciprocate with pics at that time.
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Have a good one. Have many.

Thanks NYC Expat,
I am looking forward to seeing your pics.
From past experience conversing with fellow mongers who, unlike me, are experts in the DR, they all have one thing in common. When they visit SA (i.e., Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, etc...) they ALL say that these countries smoke the DR. I am not bashing the DR, I haven't been and don't want to prejudge, I am just stating what my monger buddies have said.
Happy New Years Everyone!
Monger Forever!!

Ok fellow inmates, here is the promised download from my first trip to CTG and Colombia. As usual, I thank the many who gave me great advice beforehand.
1. Awesome place!!!! CTG has my highest recommendation. I will go there again in late January.
2. Safe. The Colombian Navy is based about 2 miles from the tourist areas. I never felt unsafe even though I was careful.
3. Chicas Everywhere. Gringos are walking rock stars in their world. There was not a chica that didn't smile at me or give me eye contact the whole visit ( I am average looking on a good day)
4. Not many gringos. I stayed in the El Laguito area which is the upclass area on the beach and only saw a handful of Americans at best.
5. Cheap. Everything is cheap. The best looking chicas from Medellin go for $ 20 for 2-3 hours and $ 50 for all night. The hardest part is getting them to leave. They will try their damnest to latch on to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Non-pros. Very easy to find if you have the time and patience ( which I do not).
7. Bocagrande beach. Full of vendors and chicas trying to latch on to you. I like the private beaches attached to apartment buildings a little better unless you want some action.
8. Old City. Alot of history here to see. This place is gorgeous. Full of discos, restaurants, and chicas trying to latch on to you.
What else can I say? I am working on my return. Cowboy1

You hit the nail on the head Cowboy1.
CTG is one of the great places in this world to monger. With the exception of the damn touters chasing you around to buy crap from them, I have no complaints what-so-ever! The chicas are among the sweetest on Earth!
Have fun and rock on!! I am looking forward to reading your reports!
-
Change of plans - I'm convinced.
I had no idea CTG was only an extra 45 min. flying time from MIA compared to POP in DR. From your pics and posts on this thread, I will try to cancel my flight on AA and re-book on Delta for CTG instead.
I would like to find a girl friendly hotel close to the beach. Found Caribe Hotel on Bocagrande, but they want $125 a night for standard. Any recommendations for similiar quality more affordable. Is El Laguito area near or same for Bocagrande?. Thanks.
Of course, a full report to follow. I use a Canon G3 for digiphotos. Read my posts for Copenhagen if interested.

NYC Expat,
I highly recommend Hotel Las Velas. It is across the street from Monger paradise (LDV). It is only about $35 low season and $45-ish high season. I also have an email for a real estate agent who is honest and can hook you up with a great apartment for $35-65 per night depending on size. All these are located in El Laguito.
Email me or PM me if you want his email because Jackson doesn't want emails posted in forums anymore.

NYC Expat: Can't beat THE LOCATION of Las Velas, but the 4 star rating is a cruel joke. Imagine an older Howard Johnson, with OLD airconditioning units, but with a VERY central location. Caribe is MUCH nicer, as is Almirante (my favorite, but several blocks further away), Hilton etc.. And Las Velas location is NOT a plus at all if you want to avoid running into chicas you have already patronized (if you get my drift).
That $125 rate for Caribe is likely from travelocity or something and you CERTAINLY will get a better rate calling hotel directly IN SPANISH! Or just book for one night then ask around. I've seen the Hilton for $80 on travelocity before, and can get that down another $10 or so. The upscale hotels are a tad stricter on guest policy, but still not too bad really.
If you like to invite MANY chicas (like more than 1 at a time), apartments are the way to go. Do NOT rent from a Belgian scumbag named EddySalence, however! HIs exwife Mery, a SWEET colombiana, runs Torre Centauro, about 3 buildings down from the Hilton. I can give you her email (and a link to many pictures of the apartments) if you private message me.
-
NYC Expat: Just saw you are going at Easter: DO BOOK IN ADVANCE as that is HIGH season!
-
Actually, Eddy the scumbag's ex-wife is Iranian, and yes she is sweet.
I just rented an apartment from her in December ... she wanted 120,000 CP per night ... high season. Since the place was having AC problems ... the unit was always breaking and people always coming to work on it ... we halved the price.
I will definitely always go thru her.
By the way, Eddy actually came to my apartment trying to lure me away from Mery.
And ... two other Gringos I met accidently over paid Eddy a bit and could never find the guy for the refund ... he just disappeared ... when before they said they could never get rid of him.
-
I have also heard negative things about Eddy, although I we haven't met. I did meet Mery. Bruce introduced us back in September. She translated some things for me. She is a very nice lady. I haven't rented from her because I usually rent from Juan Ventura. I used him originally and had great experiences with his apartments. When I find a good thing, I usually try to stick with it. If Juan ever had problems accommodating me, I would definitely utilize Mery's apartments. Mery does look hispanic, but she is indeed Iranian.

Thanks guys, esp. JT and Surfer.
Lots of helpful info here. I originally purchased flight on AA for DR but I changed my mind. Prefer CTG instead. Got a problem now with non-refundable ticket on AA. AA flies to CTG from MIA via BOG. 4 hrs. extra travel time. Delta is non-stop saving over 4 hrs. ea. way. Will sort out asap.
In the meantime, searched the net and came up with a good deal in an apartment very close to the Hilton. Only $35 a night in a 2 room apt. I must admit it looks good.
Also contacted JT's recommendation. Thanks. As stated, I must battle the airlines and fares before deciding how. I know when.
I'll get there one way or the other. First trip south of Key West so I'm looking forward to latinas. I was in Casablanca last July. Gorgeous gals, but it got expensive since hotels get piece of the action (she must register, buyer pays).
More soon.
Have a good one. Have many.

NYC EXPAT,
I was also in Morocco last year. Trust me, the girlies in South America smoke anything on Earth! (IMHO of course). $35 seems awefully cheap for a 2 bedroom apartment. Do you know which building it was in? I have a feeling it is in the Conquistador. If so, you may want to pay a little extra and go to Excelarus, Torre Centauro, Torre Marina, Carib Real, or another apartment building.
As with your airline ticket. If you cancel it, you may be charged like $100 or so to have the remainder as a credit on that airline. If that airline flies to Colombia, take it. I can give you a phone number where you can get a good rate from point A to point B within Colombia. For example, I flew from Bogota to Cartagena for $99 roundtrip, and the published fare was $400.
-
Can you please post the phone number for this contact re airfares within Colombia?
Thanks in advance

NYCExpat: Neither Delta nor AA flies to CTG (MUST be a code share with Avianca). The MIA-CTG nonstop is MUCH more convenient than routing through BOG.
JT: $99 BOG-CTG-BOG is a GREAT deal (NEVER buy domestic tixs outside Colombia, but even on aerorepublica $99 would be a GREAT deal). Please PM me the contact if you do not mind.
Guess my ability to determine Colombiana isn't as good as I thought as I had NO IDEA Mery was Iranian. She could be Osama's daughter but I would still trust her WAY more than the Belgian dwarf! And she is a hell of a lot better looking than 99.9% of American women near her age.
