maybe a bit of a stretch....
[QUOTE=Jcrider]Hi guys,
Sorry I come here 2 months after ma last visit. Some problems with private life. But now everything is in order. (last post 04/15 )
To answer to some questions: yes I come from France, and obviously it is really more expensive to take flight tickets than to book an all inclusive holidays in a resort. I speak fluently english and spanish it can help a bit.
I find a nice offer to go to Hotel resort barcelo in sosua? Is this resort is nice to stay, and is it not so far away for night activity? I mean girs and field of dreams hotel.
Thank you for your answer again and sorry for the delay I go there from 8 to 17th August
Bye[/QUOTE]
You may be fluent in Spanish, But english????
Puerto Plata & Sosua costs
I have not been to the DR for 2 years, just wondering what the current cost is for TLN, both in Puerto plata and in Sosua. Is there any current pictures and prices of places like Galatica, Valcion, the carwash, Has any one pulled from la barriga? What about the Ferris wheel what are the prices? As for Sosua what are the TLN from classico or the latin club? Is Club Mangu still open in Playa Dorado?
Thanks in advance, I am taking A group of First timers in Sept. I have family in Puerto Plata and have been going down for 20 years, but things always seem to change at a whim down there, Also is there still a curfew or can We party all night? What is the current price of Portafino's Guesthouse in PP.
You have to love this country Jaosousa. (smile)
I just read your report Jaosousa and you wouldn't believe this info that I received from another monger.........but here goes. One of my wingmen was in Sosua last month. When he return from his trip, he informed me that Club X was closed again (smile) and all the chicas were walking to After One Night Club when Classico closed for the night.
Smells like some local Politician is getting paid under the table. Lets be honest the investor's sunk a great deal of $$$$$.$$ in the Casino aka After One. Plus I prefer After One over Club X anytime. I also understand that the movie theater is open again at Playa Dorado Hotel Complex.
Anyone else hear what's going on with the Chicas, Clubs I understand they had a great deal of rain over the last 2 weeks?
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]Curfew for some bars, not for all. I was last in Sosua in October 2008, there was one bar in Sosua, in el batey, on the same street as the municipal building, that stayed open 24/7, served drinks and food. It was across the street from hotel romanoff, the bar was called caperinha.
Any disco or bar that is attached to a casino is allowed to stay open after the curfew.
Appears Club X bar, across the street from Classicos, stays open until 4am, from what I have read in the posts.
Also the bars in playa dorada have an exemption from the curfew and I can remember reading that they they were going to let bars stay open an hour later in cabarete.
Curfew does suck, the chica bars in santo domingo shut down early.
Members who have been to Sosua more recently can probably give a better report as to closing times of bars in Sosua. When I was last in Sosua, I think Classicos closed around 2am, then many people walked over to "after one" (which was allowed to stay open because it was attached to a casino) ("After One" disco, I have been told is closed and has been replaced as the late night destination, by the bar across the street from classicos, club "x", which is supposedly allowed to stay open after the curfew) and years ago, before "after one" was opened, people would head over to the playa chiquita casino disco (after classicos closed).
So although there is a curfew you should be able to find places that stay open till at least 4am (bars and any discotecas in playa dorada complex if they choose to stay open, probably the Lighthouse bar in Ocean World, Club X in Sosua, maybe playa chiquita disco in sosua, there used to be a disco above a casino in cabarete as well) not like what it used to be, but better than nothing.
And if your not sure, ask some locals if a particular bar is open late, before you schlep off to some distant local in search of drinks and fun (I don't know whether you can telephone particular bars in and around Puerto Plata and inquire as to their closing times).
Depends what you want to do, usually the later it gets in the night, the pickings get slimmer and slimmer for chicas. If you want to party all night with your buddies and some chicas, then you should be able to find some open bars for that.[/QUOTE]
