This is the second largest city in DR. It is about halfway between Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo.
There are many clubs here. [color=red]Passions[/color] and [color=red]Casa Blanca[/color] are my 2 favorites.
Caribe tours bus line runs between the 3 points. It costs around [color=green]$2.50 [/color] one way. It takes about an hour and 40 minutes. You can take a taxi for [color=green]900 [/color]pesos.
There is really nothing to do here but shop and visit the mentioned clubs. Most of the people living here are not poor and won't really bother with you, unless you speak Spanish. There is an area located by the monument, and there are many restaurants to choose from.
The two nicest hotels here are [color=red]Hodelpha Centro Plaza[/color] and [color=red]Gran Arimante Hotel & Casino.[/color] I usually stay at these when I stay overnight.
I must now add this, that I just discovered the Cabanas. Wow.
There must be dozens of these hourly hotels in this City anone.
For anyone that has been to both Remmington Palace in Santo Domingo and Passions in Santiago.
I have been to RP in SD and luved it....I liked the club like atmoshpere and the selection of girls there was awesom....I personally like lighter skin and younger (18-25) girls.....that look like JLO, Penelope Cruz, ...etc..you get the picture.....
My question is how does Passions compare to RP? I have heard there are like 100 beauties at Passion...which is more than RP. How is the quality of girls compared to RP? As far as looks and attitude and price?
Any info would be nice....in addition what hotels in Santiago allows girls?
Thanks for all the help!
My brief 2 day trip in Sep: Took a taxi(6 times more exp. than a bus from sosua), got violently sick half-way up the mountains, and didn't fully recover until i left the following day by caribe tour bus; much cheaper, only 1 hour 20 minute ride.....Didn't particularly like passions. Was exp. and most girls were lite-skinned, 6-6.5. I froze my ass off in the place, it was quite dark, and the guy waiters expected tips on top of the extra service tax they were already billing you for...Also went to a disco real late on tuesday called Boomerangs. mostly played merengue and Bachatta. A nice place. But unknowingly arrived for the start of the male burlesqe show which my female companion really liked; as soon as it ended all the women quickly dispersed. I stayed 1 nite in Santiago with my gal-friend from Sosua in a hotel called Consorcio Colonial de Luxe, C. por A. It was on Salavador Cucurullo No. 115. Phone:247-3122. Clean, ac, cable. Ask for top floor, nice view of city, and there's an open sun-deck by the roof. I paid including tax.. 476 pesos, not knowing it came with 2 beds(1 queen). But for just i queen bed with ac. it's 95 pesos less; and you'll get a room located where the ac supposedly won't turn off so often....Santiago was definitely a change from Sosua, as absolutely no girls approached me for money, not even in the strip club; and no-one else even asked me to come in their shops to buy anything!

As a gringo who once lived in Santiago, let me set the record straight. Passions Club sucks. Last time I was there the girls were all a bunch of old pros. Most worked in Puerto Plata or Sosua ripping off gringos before migrating to Santiago seeking fresh meat. They were all cokeheads and wanted 2500+ pesos. This is double of what they wanted only a few years ago. I didn't even see anything special there, mostly 5's. Casablanca and Riverside are smaller and might have a little better girls.
But why go all the way to the DR to pay $150 for fagged-out, drugged-up *****? And why stay at the Gran Admirante for $100 / night. Your best bet is to stay at the Hotel Puerto Rico (tell Tony that you are a friend of Dan's) for $8 / night and chase the girls in the Plaza Valerio. Prices there are like 200 pesos ($11 US).
But why give these ****** your money at all? I prefer to spend my time with normal dominican women. What makes the DR special is that 90% of the dominicanas are available. All you have to do is speak a little spanish and let them spoil you.
Hello fellow mongers,
will be in Santiago on 12/24 through Jan 5th for some heavy -duty -hobbying. Have heard conflicting reports about Passions and Riverside clubs. Can anyone shed any light on these. I speak some spanish and have spent a lot of time in SD but never in Santiago. I will be with some local guys but I'd also like to meet like-minded hobbyists who are in the area at that time.

A nice Hotel in Town with a Casino.

Hey,
for Hotel check MSG #1081 or take a "Cabaņa" (try Zeus or better
HELIOS, they are both close to Passions Disco/Night Club)
Clubs/Discos
Passions
Casa Blanca
Riverside (heavy airconditioned)
Plaza Merengue (It's more a local place/disco but great girls around)
and try ZOILAS, it's a little hidden but they have about 15 girls
there and 2 or 3 have been really good looking, and its inexpensive
cover fee is 260 pesos, a bottle of Absolut Vodka with Orange Juice
about 400 Pesos (YES i couldn't believe it!!). They do Shows there
during the night...Haven't had time to go there this year but last
Oct. it still has been a good place to go.
Ask the Taxi Drivers, Taxi Fares within Santiago should be around 100
Pesos.
Have Fun
Car washes rule for girls in Santiago. and what a bargain. when i was there last week john from the palace took time to meet us in santiago and show us around in his taxi on his dime. now you begin to realize why we stay at the palace in sosua. get in touch with john for the names of these car washes. there are about 15 total, but six or seven are very good.....

What's a car wash? Is it am AMP? Or Thai-style slip and slide body massage?
Thanks in advance.

mattster:
What's a car wash? - It's a car wash! drive in, drop it off, they wash it. there will also be a semi-open air restaurant/bar with dance floor to practise your moves on.
you don't have to get the car washed if you don't want to.
What's wrong with this thread? Is Santiago this dead???

[i]What's wrong with this thread? Is Santiago this dead??? [/i][/QUOTE]Santiago is a different beast from, say, Santo Domingo, Sosua, Puerta Plata etc. Not a touristy town at all, so the gems are not in your face as much. But, boy, the women in Santiago are awesomely beautiful. For a tourist, you really need to take more time and have an ex-pat or a Dominican you can trust (which, sad to say, is basically an oxymoron) show you around, 'present' you to a certain girl. There are massage parlors etc but they won't be used to seeing that many foreigners. Just a different approach, all around.
Was in Santiago passing thru. Hit Passions and Casa Blanca.
Didn't like Passions at all ... chicas not so bonita and very aggressive ... waiters very aggressive too.
Casa Blanca was just the opposite ... some nice chicas and no one was real aggressive. There was the occassional hard sell chica but most were cool.
One chica at Casa Blanca tried to over-charge me for a session. The cost is 1500 pesos normal and she told me I had to pay an additional 500 for the room. The guys behind the bar who take the money all played up to it too.
Luckily, I had made friends with one of the managers earlier that night and he raised the BS flag. I dumped this chica and got another ... I like to tip and take care of chicas who do a nice job but i hate cheats.
By the way, say Hi to Reyes at Casa Blanca. He's the manager who help me out. He's a great guy and good to know.
Casa Blanca is a good place especially on the weekend after about 11pm, but beware of the scam.

I started this new group for nature. I posted pictures of Camp David Hotel in Santiago which is about $27 per night and very chica friendly. 10-15 minutes from The Casino and all the clubs.
Gentlemen!
Can anybody recommend a local person in Sosua-PP-Santiago area who could be a reliable guide and ideally also a driver to show local action?
Leaving from JFK in 13 days and then -
almost three weeks of !@#$%&____ F R E E D O M !!!!!!!!!!
@#$%&*+++++++++
Any ideas how much it may cost to have a driver with a car on permanent basis for two-week period? And where to hire one?
Mirco,
With respect to getting a driver and a car for a 2-week period, it will probably be prohibitively expensive. You might do best to rent your own car and find a reliable person to accompany you. Otherwise, you might consider hiring a motorconcho (motorcycle) which will be much less expensive.
In Sosua/Puerto Plata, they tend to take advantage of foreigners, so you might inquire in Santiago where the people tend to be less dependent on the tourist trade.
I used to live in Santiago and found the people to be quite honest and reliable as compared to the capital.
Good luck and let us all know about your adventures.
DanDaMan
One of the best places to stay in Santiago is the Hotel Colonial. The people are wonderful there and the accomodations range from basic to luxury. Ask for Lazaro and tell him that Dan from California says hello.
I made a web page for them that you can find at:
www.geocities.com/hotelcolonialsantiago
Another good choice for a very inexpensive place is the Hotel Puerto Rico. Again tell the manager (Tony Reyes) that Dan sent you and give him my greetings.
Santiago is great if you want to see the real DR without the influence of tourists. It's a great place for girlfriend action.
Enjoy the chicas of Santiago!
Do you have a contact info for Hotel Puerto Rico?
I did not find it in the book?
Appreciate!

I spend most of my time in Santiago and the only hotel I know of with a pool is the Gran Almirante 580-1992. Only problem is its going to cost you around 100.00 a night
Hi all. I will be in DR for the last 2 weeks in Oct. Does anyone here know any areas in this particular town where older street women can be found during the day? Also, are there any safe rooms that charge by the hour?
Thanks,
Donnylad.
Does anyone have any updates on the Santiago scene?
Does anyone have information on how the recent earthquake may have affected various venues in that city? Apparently a number of buildings were damaged and I am curious if that has resulted in the closing of any of Santiago's clubs, bars, etc.?
Fellow mongers,
I am finally making it to DR. ON the first of hopefully many trips. Please post current info on hotel and chica status.
I live in San Antonio. So the only way to travel to DR (to avoid an overnight stay in the US. Is to fly to Santiago before going to Sosua. JDR has me convinced on Sosua.) I will arrive on the 5th of Nov in Santiago, stay a night and then proceed to "Monger Heaven"?
I am a veteran of Brasil trips. Can speak medio culo spanish/portugues.
Where can I find a chica friendly hotel for the night and a chica rich environment? Would like a wife for the night. Or a few hours. Not looking for the full Santiago experience, just a babe for the evening.
Thank you and happy hunting,
Falcao
P.S. If you live in San Antonio DO NOT USE the internet for your travel. Their bookings suck. I saved time and money going to Escapade Travel, 11761 Blanco Rd. 210-340-6100/1-800-955-6716. Very very low prices (my ticket was cheaper than what the internet (travelocity/orbitz) offered). And talk to Mary Lee. She starts to work as soon as you call her. Personalized service. She makes you feel like your vacation is her goal in life. And she will help you no matter where you call from as long she gets the business. Best $26 I spent. Yes, $26 dollar commission. Every other place in town wants around $50 and treats you like crap. And she is the one who found me the trip without spending an overnight in Dallas or NYC/NJ for more money. She is good. If you are not in San Antonio it will probably involve credit card and e-ticket or credit card & FEDEX.
Oh and for those that think I get a profit from this NO! Just met her today and thought I would share this with my fellow monger brothers. Besides I don't like women who speak english. :) Well except of course, Roxane.
Hi guys,
I will be in the DR and I am interested to visit Cuba. As far as I know there are only 2 direct flights from Sto Dgo 2 La Havana (Sundays+Thursdays). As these days are not convenient with my agenda , does anyone know about boat / ferry / velero from the North part of the Rd to the east coasts of Cuba, such as Santiago de Cuba.
How long it takes+$$$
Thanks
MrX
Greetings,
I'm going to be exploring Sosua in late January 2004, and want to take a trip into Santiago to see the scene. I'd read a few posts about tour guides taking you into town, and wanted to know if this was indeed a viable option, or a waste of money. What are the chica options out there? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
J Stem
J-stem,
I was in Sosua in OCT 2003 and flew in to Santiago. I only stayed there for a short time to eat. The ride from Sosua is 1 and a half hours costing 30 to 40us by cab. Everyone says that club passions and the carwashes are hot and loaded with chicas. I hope this help. BTW I will be in your mongering town of curacao on Jan 9 to 12. Then in DR on jan 16 to 19 at the sosua palace stop by and ask for blue.
J Stem: Scotch wasn't speaking for everyone! Myself and others have posted here before about the disappointing times at Passions. Scroll back and you'll see.
Thanks for the info gents. I'll scroll back and read up again. Any info on tour guides?
Best,
J Stem
Hello fellow men,
I will be in La Vega, about 20 min from Santiago from December 24th-January 8th. I am from California flying outa San Fran, I have a few cousins out there and they are always up for meeting new people, I'm bilingual so if anyone wants to hang out and maybe get some action in and around those dates contact me and we can go from there.
Please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.
Got bumped in POP. Was shipped to Santiago, plus paid $400, taxi,
meals and hit Passions, Illusions and Casa Blanca. JJ and I got 2
chicas for 3,000 pesos each. 55 pictures to follow
Well we got a taxi and paid him 400 pesos and went from Illusions to Casa Blanca to Passions back to Illusions then Casa Blanca then to Illusions. Two chicas wanted 3500 but settled on 3000. At Casa Blanca they wanted 2500.
Well my chica, we shot 55 pictures, started in the tub where she blew me then around 6am I woke her for a doggie bang bang then 7am a good bye blow. She was a Spinner!!!!
I'll be returning to DR to visit the south coast, but will be spending my first and last nights in Santiago.
On my previous trip, I visited the following places:
Hotels:
Hodelpa Centro Plaza
Colonial
Nightclubs:
Casa Blanca
Ilusion
Pasion
I'll likely checkout Porky's(Riverside) and Diversion this time. Any suggestions on other places to visit in Santiago?

Chapter 06: Santa Came Early (Or So She Said)
I packed up my stuff in the morning then walked outside to make sure my driver from Sosua didn't come to wait for me. He wasn't around so I called Jonny who had offered to take me back to Sosua for 600 pesos, 200 pesos less than the standard charge of the Costambar drivers. Jonny said he'd be over in 20 minutes, so I grabbed my stuff and went to check out.
I waited at the front desk while the bartender went to get someone from the office. One of the cuter but slightly heavier ladies was playing pool with a gentleman she had been with since I arrived. She had been checking me out a lot and came to tell me she was sorry to see me go while her date was in the restroom. I ended up having to wait for a while to get checked out, I don't know what took so long, but it was slightly annoying. Another driver had arrived and was waiting in the meantime, when I finally got checked out he mentioned that Jonny had sent him because he went to Santo Domingo.
We were already in the car when I thought I should double check on the price. Of course I was being charged the standard 800, but at this point it wasn't cost nor time effective to find another ride. During the ride, I had mentioned that I would be going to Santiago later in the day. The driver handed me his business card and offered to take me for the "special" price of only 1200 pesos. Twenty five minutes later, I paid the driver and carried my backpack into the Voramar.
I headed to the Palace around 2pm to see if anyone was around. Nigel was there, and had his bags packed up to go to Santiago. He was taking the Caribe Tours bus which was only 70 pesos, less than $2 US while the other driver wanted $33 and the standard price was $35 US or more. I was initially concerned about the comfort and quality of the bus ride, but Nigel said the bus was very nice, so I decided to go that route. Nigel didn't expect the taxi for another 40 minutes to an hour, so I told him I'd go with him if he wanted to wait while I ran a few quick errands. He said he wanted to be in Santiago before 5pm, but if I was back in less than an hour he'd probably still be there. I then went to change some money and use the Internet, but he was already gone when I returned about 45 minutes later. John was there and gave me a few tips on Santiago. Nigel had written down the name of a place called Helios where he was planning to stay, but John told me that was a short time Cabana that sold time in blocks of four hours, nice but expensive to use as a 24 hour hotel room. He recommended a place called Hotel Hodelpa. He asked if I knew where to go, so I mentioned that I knew of Casa Blanca and Pasion. He recommended Ilusion as one of the better places.
I wasn't in a rush now, so I walked over to get tacos again at La Roca. I then headed over to the cheap taxi stand to get a ride back to the Voramar to grab my bags, then on to Caribe Tours. The buses leave every hour, and I arrived 10 minutes before the next bus was ready to leave. I just finished paying when they announced that the bus was boarding. We all walked outside and to the left where a large, air conditioned bus was waiting.
I was impressed by the quality of the bus. The seats were larger and more comfortable than I had expected, and they had two mounted televisions connected to a video source to play movies. They also supposedly had a bathroom, but I never needed to use it so I didn't check it out. We were off on our way soon, so I sat back and watched the movie that was in progress.
We stopped in Puerto Plata to pick up more passengers. A few cute ladies boarded, taking the seats behind me and across from me. When we continued on, the ones behind me patted my head. Soon the one across asked if she could sit next to me, of course I obliged. We talked off and on during the ride. She was very pretty, better looking than most of the ladies I spent time with, but unfortunately they were headed to Santo Domingo, so I bid them farewell when we arrived in Santiago about 75 minutes later. I grabbed a cab outside the station to the Hodelpa Centro Plaza for 80 pesos.
Hodelpa Centro Plaza is located in El Centro, and the streets were very busy at this time. I checked in at the rate of $50 US per night and went upstairs in the only functioning elevator, which in fact was only partially functional because the doors would not open from the first floor without inserting a firm piece of laminated paper between the cracks of the door to activate the sensor. I put my stuff away, then returned downstairs and outside to check out the immediate surroundings while there was still some light out.
A Citibank branch is directly across from the Hodelpa, but they didn't have an ATM, but there were a number of ATMs around the corner and on nearby streets. A Pizza Hut was a block away, and a McDonalds and fast food chicken restaurant a block away in the other direction. An Internet Cafe and money exchange place was also around the corner. Besides the three restaurants I mentioned, there weren't many places to eat nearby except for hole-in-the-wall type joints, I found that surprising. I ate some chicken and used the Internet for a while before returning to the room for a nap.
I got back up at 9pm and walked downstairs to see mostly dark and lifeless streets, a stark contrast from when I arrived. Nothing appeared open except for the Internet Cafe around the corner, so I returned to my room to get ready for the evening, then found a cab to take me to Casa Blanca. We passed Ilusion on the left while driving down Juan Pablo Duarte, and less than a minute later turned left onto a small street at a Casa Blanca sign, then made another left into a large parking lot.
Casa Blanca was open, but virtually dead at 10:30pm. A cute but slightly heavy lady sat by the entrance, and two older ladies were sitting with another gentleman at one of the tables. There was a small bar to the immediate right past the entrance. Past the bar were double doors that led to the main building. To the left of the entrance were a couple small semi-private gazebos, with a large gazebo past that. Straight ahead past most of the tables was a food counter with a small bathroom to the left of it and a short-time room next to that. A pathway to the left led up some stairs to a building which appeared to be residences for some of the ladies.
On the inside there were raised platforms leading to seating on both sides. Staight ahead was a dance floor after some tables, with some space available for a band and a DJ booth past that. A path to the left of the dance floor led to staffed restrooms and the inside bar.
More people started to show up around 11:30, but it wasn't until 12 or 12:30 that it really seemed to pick up.
As the crowd built I already confirmed that the lineup of ladies appeared better than what I had seen in Sosua and Puerto Plata. The first lady that really caught my eye had a beautiful face, but she had a slight stomach and didn't return a smile. I spoke with a petite lady that seemed to be checking me out, but her personality cooled over a beer for some reason, so I let her go. My third option was a lady named Barbie, she was darker with a fantastic body, but the 2500 pesos she quoted was higher than I expected, so I said I'd get back to her later.
Uncertain of the standard pricing at Casa Blanca, I soon struck up a conversation with a Dominican gentleman that I had heard speaking English earlier. His name was Roberto and he was very friendly. I asked him about pricing, but he didn't seem to understand exactly what I was looking for, or maybe he did. He told me to just come to him and he'd work out the best deal for me instead of giving me a standard pricing range to shoot for.
I saw a few other ladies that struck my fancy, but they were either occupied or didn't seem very interested in working, then I met Sonya. I recalled the name Sonya written on the piece of paper that Nigel had and concluded that she was probably a recommendation from John. She was attractive, fit, and friendly enough, so I decided she would be the one.
While we were talking and drinking near the bar, Roberto was passing by so I said hi. I mentioned that I finally found a lady in Sonya, which he must have took as his cue because he started brokering our deal. That wasn't my intention but it worked out and I had her short time for 1500 pesos. Roberto left, so I walked with Sonya to the outside bar to pay the fee, then we walked to the short-time room by the kitchen.
The room was nice, large, and comfortable but slightly chilly. Sonya turned on the TV and put it on the Cartoon Network. A Pokemon show was on and I could see her mouthing the words.
Sex with Sonya was relaxed and enjoyable and up to par with most of my others thus far with kissing and BBBJ included, but the temperature of the room was a slight detraction. I was hungry after we finished, so afterwards I took another brief look around the place before walking back to the food counter to order some fried chicken. They didn't have menus, I had to ask what they had and tell them after hearing what they said was available.
Sonya came over to hang with me a little while longer while I was eating and brought me a coke. I thought of heading over to Ilusion, so I asked Sonya if it was a long walk and she said it wasn't. After finishing my meal, I walked around one last time, saying hi to an attractive lady named Paloma. I left the lot and turned right onto the very poorly lit Juan Pablo Duarte.
As I was walking, I thought to myself that assuming I made it back OK, I should recommend in my writeup that other gentlemen do not partake in this walk. While the walk itself was only about 15 minutes, the road is very poorly lit at night and there are no sidewalks. Brush and bushes also offered many places for unsavory types to hide.
There are gates on both sides of a guard room at Ilusion. Both were closed, so I had to get the attention of the security guard to open one up for me. He motioned me over to the left side gate where I entered once it opened. I walked past the large lot to the entrance where they had a number of guard/attendants and a metal screener. After checking me for weapons, they allowed me into the club.
Ilusion is a much larger club than Casa Blanca. Just past the front doors is a small lobby room. A second set of doors leads to the main room with a dance floor in the center. Lots of seating form a circle around the dance floor. Parts of the floor were slightly lowered, so you need to watch your step while walking through the place. Directly back from the entrance is a doorway leading to a restaurant outside. The restrooms are to the left of the door and a DJ booth and the bar are to the right.
There weren't a large number of ladies around, especially given the size of the place, but those that were there looked really cute in sexy little Santa outfits they were wearing. There weren't really a lot of options, so I smiled to an attractive blond that was standing close and bought her a beer. She was friendly and well within my range and quoted a good price of 1500 pesos to come with me to my hotel, but she was older than I had thought once I saw her close up and she didn't make much of a close to try to get me to take her out. On top of that, a young redhead appeared. She was much more attractive in terms of face and body and succeeded in distracting me. I spent a little more time with the older blond to give her a chance to close the deal, but she didn't, so I excused myself.
I walked outside to check out the restaurant. The door led to a very small room with an entrance to the DJ booth on the right. Another set of doors led outside. A dining area was directly ahead after walking outside with a small window near the back while was apparently for the kitchen, but I never did see anyone that appeared to be working. A path to the left of the doors led to short-time rooms and I believe residences for the ladies.
I walked back in and approached the redhead who introduced herself as Chandra. She was a little on the skinny side and had only average sized breasts, but her petite body was otherwise well shaped and her face was very attractive. She looked much more like an upperclass mallrat from the US than a Dominican prostitute. It didn't take much conversation for me to determine she was a princess that was stuck on herself. I considered going with her for a trophy session, but decided against it with her attitude and 2500 quote for a short time session. She was obviously displeased when I turned her down, but still asked me to give her money for her to eat and fix her hair the next day. She seemed more upset and surprised when I turned that down. I found it amusing that she expected so much from out 10 minutes together.
Afterwards, I spoke with a pretty young blond named Natalie. She seemed interested but got shy when I approached. Since she wasn't talking much nor selling herself, I walked back outside. I saw a very attractive dark lady with an exquisite body. She looked very much like what Cindy Crawford would look like if she were black. Unfortunately, this Cindy seemed to be moody and uninterested in talking to anyone, so I returned inside.
The older blond was now occupied and Natalie still looked shy. Chandra was avaiable and tempting with her looks, but the attitude kept me away, so I walked back outside to check out the tall dark lady again.
A small crowd was now gathered around a gentleman holding up a lady that appeared to be on drugs. Within moments, she suddenly screamed and flailed away from the man, falling over chairs to the ground. She was quickly grabbed and assisted by two other ladies and others that came closer to help. I wasn't able to see much as the circle of people tightened, but she didn't appear to hurt by the fall, but still completely out of it for some unknown reason. They got her to a chair where they held her down. She looked like she was on some kind of bad acid trip.
I went back inside where the already small number of guests and staff appeared to be dying down, so I decided to take another stab at Natalie. Her quote was 1800 pesos for short time, and only 2000 to leave with me. Taking her to my room seemed the obvious better deal, but as I thought, she would have to change and I really wanted pics of her in the adorable Santa outfit. I decided that I'd sleep better anyways, so we paid the money at the bar and walked to a short time room from the outside.
I mentioned the lady that appeared to be on drugs to Natalie. She told me that it was a possession by an evil spirit. I wasn't really sure how to respond to that.
Natalie was a natural model once the camera came out, effortlessly moving it various poses that showed off her body. In truth her body wasn't as nice as it appeared once the clothes came off. She was nicely shaved, but her breasts were sagging and she had many stretch marks from the pregnancy.
The session was excellent, she was one of the more passionate kissers with lots of DFK and gave one of the best blowjobs which was unfortunately too short. I probably should have asked for more of that, but instead I just went with her flow. When we started the sex, she was a little cold at first, but eventually I heated her up and we ended up having a passionate go. We showered up afterward and I gave her a kiss goodbye.
There were very few people left when I returned from the short time room. Chandra was still there but had no customer to go home with. I walked outside to find a cab to take me back to the hotel. I gave him 100 pesos which he was happy with.
There was no one in the lobby when I got back. I knocked on a door to ask about using a computer outside, but there was no answer. I thought it was unusual and risky as I appeared to have easy access to the desk and anything I could find back there if I wanted. I went to take the elevator upstairs and ended up having to use the laminated sheet to trigger the sensor.
Up in my room I cleaned up thinking I would probably spend the rest of my stay in Santiago.
Vladimir
What's up guys,
Hey Vladimir, you're right, those are the best places to pick up female Riverside. Iluciones Night club, Casablanca and Passion are the best. Go If you are going to be visiting Santiago you have to go this places. Santiago has the most beutifull girls
in the Dominican Rep, or you can go to San Fransisco, which is right next to Santiago, and go to Caribe Night Club. Oh god, pretty girl there.
That is my hang out spot in Santiago and San Fransisco.

Somebody please give me some info on chica friendly hotels in Santiago.
"Somebody please give me some info on chica friendly hotels in Santiago."
Sammon-
Just got back from Santiago yesterday. Stayed at Hotel Aloha Sol for 1600 pesos. You have to call them (809) 583-0090 to book reservations. Very friendly staff, very helpful with passing along nightlife details, and telling the cabbies to look out for you. The area is very safe, was able to walk around at night in the dark streets without feeling any danger.
Probably about a 3 star, by US standards, but well worth the stay. Has an on-site restaurant/bar. Located around the corner from Hotelpa Centro Plaza, which has a restaurant as well, but also a very happening-with-the-locals weekend discoteca.
Santiago is loaded with beautiful regular chicas, and this hotel location has you two blocks away from ground central, esp. on a Santurday afternoon. It's in the local shopping district
There's a cambio one block away. There's a Pizza Hut up the street to the right of the hotel one block away, and a McDonalds two blocks to the left in the shopping district. There are a couple of 24 hr ATMs within 2 blocks, each with armed guards for your protection, as well as the banks. Incredibly, Citibank, located two doors down from the hotel and in front of Hotelpa Centro Plaza, has no ATM available.
Cab rides to Illusions and Casa Blanca were 100-150 pesos. Again, fairly priced. From one of these locations to Ambi One (regular merengue nightclub with loads of regular available chicas), taxi cost 150-200 pesos.
Finally, very chica friendly. They may make the chica sign in, may not. I experienced both. Not a problem with the chicas at all, so long as she's reasonable dressed (meaning not bra and panties only), which is understandable since there is a business class as well as couples that stay here.
Hope this helps.
Just booked my ticket, $450.00 on Continental coming out of Newark on 3/17. I'll be at the Palace for a few and then I'm off to Santiago. Looking forward to a much needed vacation.
Jet blue gives you 24 points a RT to DR from NYC and 48 points from LA and requires 100 for a free trip. Goodby American Airlines. Taxi to Sosua, $20-$24. Seems there might be a few of us hanging around Santiago every week. Good thing there are only a few hotels so we can all car pool together.
Its a great deal.
Thank you WSG for the opportunity to share my personal experiences in the DR on this forum. This is my first posting to this site, but this is not my first time in the DR. I just returned to the states on March 23, after spending a wonderful weekend in the capital, santiago then Boca Chica. I arrived in the capital friday night and had a brief stop over at a friends house before heading up to santiago. Based upon the information that was posted here, I decided to hit some of the hot spots in santiago. I was accompanied by three other of my friends in two different cars. Our first stop was at club passion. Club passion is located down a side road east of the major highway, across from Helios cabanas (near power station). After taking parking lessons from a parking attendent who didn't speak or understand english, I was ready to get my party on. There was a brief security checkpoint at the front door checking for weapons and any other contraband. Once inside, I had realized that my 1700 mile trip was all worth what I was told it would be. There was approximately 30-40 women of all shapes, colors and sizes, who were all dress in formal gowns, short pants, or nothing at all. With the help of 100 pecos we were immediately directed to a table and chairs at the foot of the dance floor. Everyone on the dance floor was having a blast, dancing to the latin music and grinding bodies together as if there was no one else present. Out of the corner of my eye, I have noticed that there was alot of young chicas with older men, who I know wouldn't have a chance in their lives to be with if it wasn't for the old mighty dollar. We ordered 2 bottles of Dewars and had our waiter motion some of the attractions our way. although I don't speak spanish, it didn't require much talking for the chica to know what I was looking for. One thing that I have noticed between dominican and american women is that dominican women knows how to make her man feel as if he was a king. Most of them will cuddle you in public and feed you at restaurants, and at times compliment you in broken english on how nice you look today. You get bathe from head to toe, then wrapped in a towel before being guided to a bed for lotioning and grooming. After the full body massage and the happy ending, dinner will be waiting for you along with a pretty smile from across the table. This is just part of my first night and next day in the Santiago area. I will continue this at another time, since I do have a job to report to. But before I leave, I just want to say it gets much better than this.
The chica who I hooked up with at club passion was short, blonde with green eyes and hot! We stayed at the Helios cabana and had a wonderful night, repeatedly. She wanted to take control, which I gladly complied.
The next morning as I was reaching for my pants to cover her taxi ride home, I felt stiff and sore as if I rode a horse without a saddle. I said my goodbyes and went back to bed. Thoughout the night, there was a need for me to call on my bilingual friend Raphael, who worked at the cabana twenty four hours straight for 35 dollars US. After tipping him lovely upon check out, I somehow felt that he wanted to come and work for me on a full time basis.
The next day started with a late lunch at a restaurant with a western theme, located directly across from the monument in santiago. The waiters spoke english and the food was good. Although I had the cravings for fried rice with chicken and pork (which wasn't listed on the menu), they were more than happy to create this dish for me with no problem.
After lunch I wanted to visit another hot spot that I heard about via this forum, so we drove around until we came upon a carwash with a restaurant in front and a beauty salon across the driveway. Here I felt as if I died and gone to heaven. There was approximately 25 latin honies who were in and out of the salon, preparing themselves for the evening. My buddy who is jamaican had decided to go to the salon for a manicure and hang out with some of the chicas, while the rest of us stayed at the restaurant drinking Presidentes and Dewars. It wasn't long before I joined him along with another friend of mine. There had to have been 50 chicas who were parading in and out of this establishment all day. They were getting their hair done, adjusting their clothes in the mirror and applying tons of make up. I settled for a manicure and a 15 minute back rub by a young chica who worked there.
After several hours of drinking, eating and fooling around with the chicas. We decided to check back in the cabanas to prepare for the evening with some of the ladies. The Helios cabana is probably the nicest place that you can go and get laid and feel that you are in paradise. We had decided to get four of the best rooms in the house, which my room alone (Presidential suite) cost six thousand pecos for one night. The cabana was about 1500 sq ft/ with two levels. The floors were made of marble and the walls and ceiling of mahogany. there was an aquirium with exotic fish and a jacuzzi for four down stairs. there was strobe lights for a disco near the jacuzzi and a walk around bar. Beneath the wide marbled staircase, I believe there is a waterfall that is out of order. As you climb the massive stairs, you cannot miss the large crystal chanderlair and six foot painting of a couple embrace with each other. The bed was kingsize that required a running start to get up on and the bathroom was magnificent with dual sinks and a table and chair to relax.
After returning to the carwash, it was apparent that the many hours spent ther by the chicas had paid off. It was like a runway of latin models stampeding around attempting to gain your attention. There was also alot of guys hanging out trying to influence the chicas with little or no pecos. We grabbed a table outside and ordered dinner and was approached by six chicas who sat at our table and started in by stating how much they loved us and wanted to only be with us (hmm). There was a lot of beneath the table action as well as hugs and kisses(cheek only baby). I locked eyes onto one of the chicas that I met earlier at the salon, who only knows how to say "fuck you" in english. She was young, attractive and physically abusive. It started off with just a hit to the shoulder here and there and ended up with her teeth marks on my chest. It was unfortunate that she didn't understand english, because I called her every ***** in the book as well as reminding her that I keep my pimp hand strong! She had cocked block every chica that came my way, by way of eye stares and threatening words. She was fine, young and sassy. I would say she was around 19-20 yrs old. The nicest little ass that I've seen in a long time. My buddies decided enough was enough and it was time to blow the scene with the chicas. My chica (crazy girl) was my choice, but I had to wait until 12 o'clock for her to get off. Somehow due to lack of communication and too much Dewars, my buddies (and I use this word loosely) had took both cars and left me behind to await the mental queen. I jumped in a taxi and paid for me and my chica to get back to cabana.
To Be Continued.
Great report, looking forward to the rest. And I thought mine was detailed in the Sosua section, good stuff. Santiago is unchartered territory.
Marco
Upon our arrival at the cabana, I had to reassure my tiger turn kitten that her friends was nearby and I wasn't some sought of pervert who was trying to set her up. I invited one of my friends along with her amigo to my pad for some drinks and conversation. I motioned to her to turn on the Jacuzzi so that we can get in once the company had left. She had danced around the idea by stating that she was hungry and thirsty. Without hesitation I ordered food and drinks for my chica. My company had decided to leave and I figured that this was going to be my chance to spend a night with one of the most beautiful girls that the DR had to offer, but instead this was heading south and fast. First my chica had laid on the couch and opened her arms for me to lay down on top of her (fully clothed) and for us to just hold each other. It wasn't long before I had sucumbed to a long day and fell asleep on top of her. I figured I was asleep no longer than one hour, when I decided to leave the babysitter on the couch and for me to go upstairs to bed and call it a night. I fell asleep in my bed and was awoken to this chica in my bed next to be fully clothed and sleeping. I started shaking this chick to tell her either shit or get off the pot, she instead repeated that she loved me and wanted to just cuddle. I decided that this ***** was as useful as a car with four flats, so I just rolled over and went back to sleep. Throughout the night I kept getting up because I wasn't comfortable sleeping with beauty queen with locked legs, so I shook her and told her get to steppin'. She just shook off my orders and went back to sleep. Believe me I'm shaking this ***** as if I was trying to retrieve apples from a tree, while yelling go, go now, call taxi. She claimed she didn't understand until I called my buddy who spoke spanish and told him to tell this sleeping beauty to get going. She finally got up and to my surprise, this chica spoke the queens english when asking for money for a taxi.
I gave her two hundred pecos and sent her on her happy way. I want to remind you that this is the same chica who had chased away any chances of me being with someone else. She is also the crazy chica who I wear a shirt to bed at nights, so that my girlfriend doesn't see the bite marks that tattoo me till this day.
To Be Continued....
Well folks, another day of sunshine and high expectations. I been bitching all morning to my amigos about how I was robbed of a day in the DR by some chick who forgot to take her NoDoz. We packed up all of our things and began some sightseeing around the area. If you have never been to the monument in Santiago, you have to add this to your agenda if in the area. The monument is centralized in the city and is the highest point where you have 360 degree views of the mountains and city. they provide a telescope for about 5, 10 pecos so you can focus in on some historic landmarks from the christopher columbus error. There are peddlers that hang out there selling all kinds of items, from beer to balloons and bracelets. We took some pictures and decided to head back to the capital. I was driving in the lead car with the windows down and cruising at mock one. There were street vendors throughout our route as well as hot chicas standing roadside awaiting public transportation. I believe by the time I get my rental back, they will have to change the brake pads from the frequent sudden stops when I observe large breasteses approaching my windshield quickly. My amigo had asked me to do a u-turn so that we can get some roadside country food from an older lady that he sees when in the area. I agreed and pulled right up to a pig (food) that has been hanging from its support for a couple of days, slowly roasting. I don't know about you guys, but pig intestines is by no means on my list of experiencing different foods from other cultures. But I have to say that the fried pig skin was out of this world, washed down with a cold Presidente. We continued on before coming upon a traffic jam caused by demostrators out on a nice day to support their choice for President for the upcoming elections in May. We managed to get around the traffic in a matter of minutes and continued south into Santo Domingo. As we approached the city limits, I noticed a sign that directed traffic towards the airport. At this point, I had recalled an earlier journey that I have made back in january where a hotel attendent had showed me a massage parlor 3:00 o'clock one morning where several chicas got out of their beds to model for me in their skimpy outfits. The attendent had brokered a deal where I had to pay 1500 pecos for a full body massage with a happy ending, in which I complied. I immediately changed courses and headed to Boca Chica with my amigos in tow. To be continued....

I am flying in to Santiago July 5th and returning July 10th. I was planning to go to Sousua, but I am willing to try Santiago if anyone needs a partner in crime. This will be my 4th trip in two years. Send me a message.
Oh baby, NY Traveler is back in business. On my last posting I left off heading towards Boca Chica, where i have visited several times before. When we arrived in Boca Chica, the first place we were looking for was a massage palor that I was at before. After alittle bit of site seeing, we stopped by the massage parlor who specializes in happy endings. There were several chicas hanging out in the front yard playing dominoes and having a blast at it. (I guess it was a way for them to relieve the stress from the nights prior with international mongers). As we we approached the doorway, I guess it was routine for the girls to line up inside, strutting their stuff to win the playa for the night, I had my eyes set on a chica who had a nice body, but more importantanly, perfect lips. Without any hesitation, I told my chica to hop in the ride for a night she won't forget. I made a registration at the hamaca hotel and paid the additional cost for my chica. My buddies had did the same since they preferred not to hang out at the massage parlor for their activities. I believe that DR women are fed up with their men since it only took minor spoiling for them to be appreciative of me and my amigos. We had some drinks on the beach along with some jokes and grabbing. I eventually ended up in a room my chica, and believe me the sex was all that. At first she dissappointed me by applying a condem to me for the head job, but it wasn't long before I noticed that it didn't matter since she had the perfect lips and skills to fulfill my pleasures. I mounted this babe and started pumping her with maximum force. She couldn't deal with what I had to offer, so she rolled me over and straddled me and continued on without fail. After around forty minutes or so, I got up and decided that since this is my last night, I wanted to hit the local disco for one last fling. I went to club cosmos on the main strip ajacent to the beach and hooked up with the bartender who took care of me during my last visit. She was excellent. She did not hold back one bit when I got on top and started to T-bag her repeatedly until I blew up inside of her awaiting mouthpiece. For all of you guys who are on the fence and haven't decided to hit the DR, get going. You won't regret it at all unless your wife or girlfriend finds out what you were up to. Final words: Wrap it up and don't raise the cost of fun for all of us by showboating. It doesn't cost much for your fantasy to come true, however, it shouldn't be at the expense of others. Be firm and precise on what you want, and do not back off. there are plenty of chicas to negotiate with, so don't settle for the first one who seems to be stubborn. New club called the Americana, where I heard anything goes after hours. Check it out. Peace out and be safe!

ATL Dennis,
A cheap place and the best deal for the money is the Aloha Sol in Santiago, it is less than 35US a night. It is in the heart of Santiago. More expensive places are Hotel Colonial and Gran Almirante. Ask a cab about Cabanas because I have never stayed in one in Santiago and they will know where they are. I don't go to carwashes and don't frequent places like Passions, etc for me they are overpriced and I can speak enough Spanish to get around comfortably. I have normal girls that I see regularly in the DR and I only pay for play in beach towns such as Boca Chica, Sosua, because there are not many normal Dominicanas at all. I am sorry, I won't tell my favorite normal places to go because I like to be the only tourist in these bars and work my game on normal girls. In one day it will be hard to pick up a normal girl especially if you are in a group. I would stick to the clubs on your 1st trip. My definition of a normal girl isn't a girl that works a little on the side (beeper girls, etc that can be found attending college in the DR, etc) but girls that give it up because they like you and no money is intended. You just take them out: movies, drinks, meals, dancing, etc but money is never discussed. In Santiago a girl may talk with you and flirt but won't give it up. Santo Domingo is better to try to pick up normal girls that you can bang your 1st/2nd time of spending time with them. A must to pick up normal girls is some knowledge of Spanish, good natured, lot of compliments, and knowing how to dance: you will have a very big advantage over others. Have fun and stay at the Aloha Sol unless you want to stay at a Cabana.
Does anyone know of the safety in the Dominican Republic? I heard it was so unsafe that Americans actually had to be off the streets by five in the afternoon, is this true? I am planning a trip to Santiago and Santo Domingo in a few weeks so this information would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Member #1553:
Hopefully when I return to Santiago in a few months you'll be willing to 'give up' 1 of your 'favorite normal places to go' to a respected fellow monger!
[b]dreamscape[/b]
Absolutely not true. At least not in Sosua and not in Santiago, based on my experience. A friend has visited the country five times by himself w/o incident. The thing you have to consider is to be smart and you'll be safe. Use your head, not your head. Dont get drunk and out of control, otherwise you'll learn the hard way.
Gpiper,
I pm'ed 1553 about a month ago asking for some information, and he ignored my request. I guess he doesn't play well with others.
DfB
'Does anyone know of the safety in the Dominican Republic? I heard it was so unsafe that Americans actually had to be off the streets by five in the afternoon, is this true?'
Never lend an ear to the AI reps!
5pm in the afternoon, who told you that, and where specifically are you referring to in the DR?!
Anybody know a good english speaking guide in Santiago.
ALDO 7:
There is a guy name Raphael who works at Helios Cabana in Santiago. He might can help you out for a reasonable fee in his spare time. He was definetly helpful for me with translating with my chica. PM me for his cell number if interested.
Later
Hey Fellas,
I wanted to see if anyone is planning or wants to plan a trip in September. I'f from San Francisco so I'll probably stop in Miami for a day or two and visit some family but, I have PLENTY OF GIRLS in Santiago as I have lot's of family their as well. So let me know we can have a grand ol time! All the girls I know want to meet American Men so let's talk.

Hello guys, I'm a Dominican born citizen living in California, work in technology and love PUSSY! I was just in La Vega, it's about 20 min from Santiago. I have lots of family in La Vega /Santiago. Lots of Cousins and they each had at least 5 girlfriends . I would not recommend Passions they are on the way to Santiago from La VEga(the only highway) they are extremely overpriced, I can't beleive they are still in business. There is one place right off the highway on the left after a few hotels, forgot the name but i'ts big and you can't miss it heading from La Vega to Santiago, you go in and theirs plenty of girls, 6-9's 40 dollars max for the night plus a 5 dollar exit fee and another 15 dollars for the hotel and your set, I went to that place everynight I stayed in La Vega had 3 different threesomes great time. Planning to returen soon after summer.
Hey NY Traveler,
Hamaca is a great All-Inclusive Resort I spent my vacation there too. But one thing I never did is bring my date back to the hotel. For one they want you to register them and pay like $70. I wasnt about to do that, would be no sense to come all the way to DR and spend that much cash. I used the hotel right by hamaca for like $25 to $30 was more affordable.
The one
The Only
Myself
I was going to go to passions on my last trip but my driver said the the placed was overpriced as you previously stated. But I did go to Kelvins car was which was very enjoyable they, they had about 15 girls there last thursday at around 2 pm, I can only imigaine what is in store when night falls, On my next trip to the island I will spend at least 2 days in Santiago, I will try and approach some "off the clock" women, because santiago was loaded with chicas lindas. About the club near la vega? was it called Casablanca? I would like to know (I'm already planning the next trip). The Island is a dream, I went on a weekend with nonstop rain and I still had one of my best eperiences abroad.
FRISCO I may be down for September. I've been to the DR for a quickie on the way to Cuba. I may just hop over from Cuba this summer but nothings set. I'm from Frisco myself. [blue][Email Address deleted by Admin][/blue]

Frisco,
Do you remember the name of that place from La Vega to Santiago (you mentioned that Passions was overpriced, but it also is on the way to Santiago as well.) Was it a disco, club, bar, etc. Any information would be appreciated. I will be in Santaigo on Sept. 21st and would like to hang out with someone like yourself who is knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks for all your help
I am going to Sosua for 2 days this weekend and then heading to Santiago to close it out on Saturday and Sunday. I have a friend that lives in Santiago, so he pretty much drives us anywhere we'd like to go but I'm open to suggestion.
Last time we went to a car wash, dont remember which one but it was to the right when you pulled in and the music was too damn loud. There was also tables across the driveway from the bar area. I have no idea what the name of it was!
Hi,
A question for all you Santiago veterans: What is the proportion of lighter skinned chicas to darker skinned chicas in Santiago vs Santo Domingo? Is it 60/40 in Santiago vs 40/60 in Santo Domingo? Would love to know. B/c from Miss DR contests, you'd think the whole country was light skinned latina!
Myself,
I was fortunate enough to have a hook at the Hamaca to pay a very reasonable price for the chica to stay. But you're right not to waste money in the DR, otherwise you might as well stay home.
MarcoNJ,
I know the carwash you're talking about, but don't recall the name. I do remember how to get there if you need directions.
Holla
NY Traveler,
By any chance you can tell me what the reasonable rate was? I am going back to Hamaca in September (when its raining here in NYC I'll be there on the beach).
Was it more or less than the hotel rates I mentioned in my previous post?
Myself,
I don't wan't to expose my hook since it was only limited to just a few, but I would offer this invaluable advise to you. There are two set rates at most hotels in the DR to accomodate tourist who has it, and for locals who don't. You can have a (trustworthy) local make the registration for you and your crew and save between $50. and $100 US per night. They can say its for them, however you take the room. There are several downsides to doing this including that person showing up when you're not there and cleaning you out, but its a gamble like everything else on the island. Once you obtain someone to negotiate for you prior to your arrival, you might want to keep it under wraps, unless they don't object to it. Keep in mind that the country is poor and most likely the person you're going to use. Hit him/her off with a little something for the inconvienance.
Good Luck
NY Traveler,
Thanks for the advice. Should have figured it out that rates for locals would be a bit cheaper than for tourists. But I was just curious. Like I said, I use the small hotel thats right next to Hamaca and paying $25 for the night there is very reasonable. Even though its a shit hole, still its good enough to do the Good Deed. Plus to be honest I am really not comfortable having guests in my room with all my stuff everywhere. But its something to keep in mind for my next trip in case I get lazy.
Does anyone have any info on the Hotel Platina? Contact info? Is it nice? Chica friendly? Who do I talk to for a reservation? I will be
arrriving at 1:20 a.m. on Friday morning, June 18th and leaving that Sunday June 20th. Thanks. Also let me know if you have any other suggestions for a hotel. Must be chica friendly of course.
hi all,
will be in santiago in the next few days and will appreciate any tips on hotels (i.e. guest friendly), normal prices for st & lt, and where to find the chicas.
i am thinking about hunting in the university (done it several times in differnt countries and it has worked out prerfectly). i do not believe that i have seen or heard anything about any activity in this area.
my thinking is that if you want to meet a non pro, that is educated, enlightened and also one that is readyto have fun (sometimes not for the money. i can feel the guys ready to pounce on me with the nothing is free speech) i believe the university is a good place to try.
i also believe that there are a lot of people who are trying their best to make it through school and some cash on the side will not hurt
i do not speak very much spanish but i am willing to try. i'll definately post my findings when i am back.
any opinions, ideas, suggestions or comments will be appreciated.
D Life,
The absence of being able to talk to them will make the idea of them hanging out as non-pros and you getting laid, maybe at a discount as a pretty unreliable plan.
There are strip clubs in Santiago and girls in the Cibao valey are great looking but don't get your hopes up. Nelson at Camp David (a great hotel if you want one) used to bring college girls up there for the night since it is so far from the town itself, but he's either quit or died.
D Life,
Santiago is loaded with some of the finest chicas on the island. IMO, Santiago chicas trumps SDQ, pound for pound in looks and quantity of very beautiful chicas. I'm not alone in that opinion. The taxi drivers in different cities on the island concur.
You need to speak Spanish, if even bungled Spanish. Just enough to be understood. To them, it's cute that you're trying and they will try out their English on you.
Many of these chicas are available, but not in the Sosua sense of available. You gotta put in work (dates), not dollars. Remember this: the chicas here are much more educated than the Sosua bunch. Therefore, you need time there.
You must look the part. Not talking about physical features, but dress. Shorts are not worn here, even by the many teenager hip-hop dudes. If you really want to stand out, have at it. You'll get noticed, but it won't be so positive. Wear business casual, or after-hour casual. Nice button-up short sleeve, with slacks. Doesn't have to be overly-stylish, but just decent enough.
Check out Francifol, Ahi Bar, Boomerangs, Ambi One, etc. for the regular chicks. On the weekends, the monument has parties around. You could catch a cab there and just hang out and meet people.
There's also an internet cafe on Calle de Sol that many chicas use. Stumble in there and sit next to one who's stumbling with her English (hint: look for the book dictionary in front of her). Make small conversation, try to set something up for later or the next day. Again, probably no sex in that 1st meeting, but who knows? Maybe the 2nd or 3rd.
For cheap chicas who might be available, check out Kelvin's Car Wash or Gomez Diaz Car Wash.
Also check out Hotel Lima around happy hour. The quality varies. I missed out on a 8 in looks there once, and had to settle for a 6.5. Cost me RD$400 for 3 hours in my hotel.
For discoteca take-out, there's Illusions & Casa Blanca. Costs about RD$2500 to RD$4500 TLN, depends on your negotiating skills and if the chica likes you that much. Both of these placs have good reputations with the locals as does the managament.
Pasions is loaded with sexy chicas, but I had a very bad experience there this past weekend and wouldn't recommend it. The management went along with the scam, even though I showed them proof.
When something like that goes on at Casa Blanca or Illusions, the girl is unceremoniously shown the door. Remember dudes there are very macho. I witnessed one episode.
Hope some of this helps your hunt. If anything, remember only this - in front of McDonalds on Calle de Sol between 5-7 p.m.
Hoof Hunter,
Great report and some great ideas about picking up some non-pros. I will be there in Sept. with a friend from Calif. and he was born in the DR. We will take your advice and try to hit up some locals and see what happens. But if you got someone for $400 pesos for 3 hours - that was a great bargin. Where did you pick her up from and what was her name!! (get her number?)
Thanks for posting.
I'll be in La Vega July 15-17 during the night and doing stuff in the jungle during the day. Been to the DR many times and looking to meet up with some others that are looking to hang out and go pick up chicks. I prefer the "normal" scene as I can speak reasonable spanish.
Have Fun
SI
Prof10,
I caught the chick in Hotel Lima. There's a cabaret inside the hotel, in the back behind curtains. The chicks back there work. Again, it's hit or miss. There was a sexy 19 yo chick that worked there, but she wasn't around when I went back.
I have no info on the chick I did for RD$400. It was RD$200 for her, and RD$200 salida. It was a short-time thing, and wasn't expecting a return visit from her. Didn't exchange numbers, names, or even fotos.
There are plenty of little spots like this around. Just ask a cab driver. There was another a few blocks down the hill from Hotel Lima, but the name escapes me now.
As a warning, watch your stuff with these chicks in the low end spots. I was warned they can be quick to snatch and run.
Recommended Hotels in Santiago?
I am looking for somewhere chica friendly, moderate price $ 30-35.

Also does anyone have a map of Santiago to put on line? I want to know where Illusions, Casablanca, Santiago Car wash, francfol, Ahi Bar, Boomerang and Ambi-one are located?
Thanks
Leaving out tomorrow (July 15) for five days of fun. I plan on staying in Boca Chica my first night since my flight doesn't arrive until 1:00am. I am planning on driving to santiago on friday so that my buddy can hook up with this chica that he met and fell in love with during our last visit. I am planning on hanging out at the carwash about 5 minutes from Casablanca with the hope of picking up at least two nice ones for the night. Sunday we are planning on making our way out to Punta Cana to hang out at this club that has a swimming pool out front and many chicas. It is right down the road from Avis and across from a shopping plaza. I will provide this site with a post trip review upon my return. If time allows, I will hit some internet cafes to post any interesting events as they occur.
Peace!
NT Traveler,
Have enjoyed reading your posts - let us know how this trip goes - especially an "talent" around the car washes. If you do hook up a threesome, let me know their names. I will be there in Sept. and am dying to get two hot chicks for a threesome as well.
Names and maybe a cell # would be helpful. Let them know a "rich" asian merchant is coming down and will take "real good care" of them. So long as they take "real good care" of YOU!! Maybe you can hook up a discount, because you will be bringing them so more business in Sept. when the mongering is in a "slow season."
Will arrive in Santiago July 23rd. First time in DR. Planning on doing Santiago a couple nights, then Sosua, and maybe Boca Chica. Anyone else be down in the DR 23rd- 30th?
Also, as MJDog stated, can anyone post a map or give description of how to get to hotspots in Santiago, esp. carwashes.
Regarding the "spots" to hit in Santiago, just ask any cab driver. The names have been posted here before.
I will warn you that although there are some sexy ladies at Pasions, it's a clip joint. Be careful! YMMV, but I know a few folks who had bad experiences there, including myself.
Another tip, guess I'm feeling generous, if you do go to Gomez Diaz carwash at night, which I do recommend, be sure to either have your cabbie wait for you, or get his cellular number for him to return to get you. It's in the middle of nowhere.
It shouldn't cost you more than R$200 to go to anywhere in this city, excpet the airport which is R$300-400 into centro.
The cabbies here are much more honest than the rest of the country. I would still ask for the price beforehand.
I'm planning on taking a trip to Santiago in the fall. I've been to Santo Domingo, but never to Santiago.
Can someone please list a few good chica-friendly hotels that have a pool and the standard room price per night?
Thank you, good board!

Well folks another fine trip to paradise island. If any of you haven't taken advantage of flying jetblue, I highly recommend this airline for the comfort and open seating. I'm six feet tall and had enough leg room to relax. There was two downsides to my flight to the DR. The first being no food served on the airplane just snacks, and crying children who kept hitting the back of my seat. Other than these two problems, the flight was great. I arrived at the airport with one of my buddies and had to wait another 30-40 minutes for my other buddy who was arriving on AA. We took a cab to Boca Chica for about $18.US and stayed at this small beachfront hotel called Don Emillio Boutigue. It has regular rooms that cost about $40 US a night. Only downside to this place is that it has four or five floors with no elevator, other than that no problem. We quickly put our bags away then proceeded down Duarte Ave towards Cosimos night club. As many of you know, they close off the streets at a certain time so that pedestrians can dine and party in the streets. As we approached the blocked off streets, there was our first chica sitting on a baricade awaiting as we appoached. She immedietly grabbed one of my buddies by the arm and walked along with us as we approached the crowd. After a brief hand and wan check at the entrance to Cosimos we were in like flint. There were about 30 women throughout the club dancing, talking and doing everything and anything to get our attention as well as our committment to spend the evening with them. I don't believe that I am about to say this, but at one point the chicas became so aggressive and annoying that I walked over to the cashiers and started BS with them. We (my buddies) decided that it was time to go, so I grabbed two nice looking chicas, one 20 and the other 23 for myself. My other buddy took two as well, while the third left with just one. When we got to the hotel we had to show id for each chica as well as paying an extra charge for the chicas to enter the rooms. After negotiating a price for anything goes, it went off without any problems. It was an allnighter with each one of them experiencing their first lesbian experience. I can attest to this since they spent more time trying to simulate eating each other, as well as putting condoms on their tongues before going down. They stayed all night with one on each side of me, for me to tag the next one for another round of pleasure.
To be continued.....
[blue]Hi,
This is just a suggestion, so please don't take it the wrong way.
I appreciate the details in your report, but I know from experience that a lot of people find it very difficult to read a report that is written as one long block of text. It's kind of like trying to eat an entire steak in one bite.
I know how this happens: You're banging away at the keyboard, putting your thoughts into the report as fast as you can write them. However, if you could hit the return key every few sentences while you're writing, and thus break your report into smaller paragraphs, your report would be much easier to read, which would certainly be appreciated by your fellow Forum Members.
Thanks,

NyTraveler,
Are you saying you took a cab from Santiago to Boca Chica for $18.00?
I'm heading to Sosua for a few nights in late September, but got MUCH better fare into STI than POP.
I know the drill for getting from STI to Sosua (cab-Caribe combo). but this time, I'm thinking about spending the first or last night of my adventure in Santiago.
Any hotel or mongering advice (47, just below average Spanish skills). Thanks.
Macmasher
If you are only staying for one night and are travelling light why not stay at one of the cabaņas?
Get a fancy one like Horus or Zeus.
Just tell the cabbie to take you to Horus and to Zeus then choose the one you like best.
I'd REALLY like to learn more about the cabanas just mentioned. Overnight cost (approx)? Distance from chica action?
OR - can anyone suggest a decent "conventional" hotel in the center of Santiago?
All the cabanas run about 990 pesos for the night, say 9pm to early in the morning.
I prefer Horus since each room has its own theme, like victorian, amazon, etc.
I think it is eclipse that has the rooms with mirrors all over the place. Perfect to take a ***** to. Neon lights, mirrors, etc.
Horus is more soft and romantic in my mind.
Check em out. They are all close to one another and are about a 15 minute taxi ride to all the action.
MISTER NYC :D
Horus was always my first choice, The newest is Bora Bora, two door down from Helios. Although nice, they seem overpriced since they are not much better than the other Two.
I get confused, but either Helios or Horus has some new units including one called "modern". It is complete with stripper pole and disco lights. Does anyone know which one?
Do you have to leave the cabanas early in the morning? Can't you stay there for 2-3 days in a row?

You are paying for 3-4 hour blocks. You decide how long you want to stay.
No its BORA BORA that has the stripper poles, etc. its called the STUDIO69 SUITE. It's about 4000 pesos for the night.
MISTER NYC :D
This is a mini report regarding Santiago. A more complete report will follow when I return to the United States. First , when you arrive at Santiago Airport and go through customs excetera you can get a taxi outside that will take you to Santiago. It will cost you 15$ . If you need a nice place with hot showers ,cable tv and air conditioning; I recommend the Hotel Platino.
The Hotel is like new with a Spanish style tiles and will only cost you 30-35$ per day. They speak English well and you can have guests if you desire. It's also close to Pasions and Ilusiones that is you can just mention it to the taxi drivers and they will know.
The room I chose was small because that's all that I need. If you require a larger one they have those too.
If you're here for more than a coulpe of days you must go to Santo Domingo. It's about 2 hrs by bus 150 pesos or 7$ you can take El Caribe or Metro. Either one is ok and both have air conditioning that is very good.
Nick
NICK DANGER...
Is that Hotel Platino (LOL) or Hotel Platinum?
MISTER NYC :D
It's Hotel Platino.
Nick Danger,
Do you have the address for Hotel Platino and are they generator equipped?

Hello- Santiago
1. 10$ to 15$ is reasonable
2. My girlfriend arranged 100rd to return me to the airport.
3. Pasions and Ilusions are close to Hotel Platino (nearly impossible to find if you never been there before)
4. Same goes for the Carwashes Kelvin and especially Gomez.
5. It helps to have a phone up there.
Nick
I don't believe Hotel Platino is new at all, but a nice place to stay. Here's the number and e-mail: (809) 721-7576, e-mail hotelplatino@verizon.net.do. I paid about RD$1489/nite w/o reservation.
In addition to be near Pasions, etc., there's also Casino Diamonte very near, where some semi-pros pop in.
Taxi from the airport should run you no more than RD$300-400, probably less. Before leaving the USA, contact ServiTaxi (809-581-0000) and ask them to send a taxi for you. Get a price quote and tell them when you're arriving. Usually do this the day before, or the day of. Never had a problem with them, and they don't try to take advantage of you.
Going back to the airport, either arrange the same thing, or get cool with a cabbie in town and pay him less (RD$200) off the books. I had a daytime cabbie, and a nighttime cabbie. Both gave me great rates around town, and appreciated the steady business.
Santiago
This is my first complete report for Santiago. I was there from 9/10 to 9/15. Unlike most of the folks on this board I come from the west coast. I was able to arrange round trip air fare to Santiago for 125$. I wanted to do Santo Domingo but less flights were availaible. I did not attain regular member status until after I arrived to Santiago.
On my First day, I arrived in Santiago at 9:30am and went to the Hotel Platino. It's not Renaissance Jaragua but it's very clean and they have several cuties who work there. They flirted with me throughout my stay i.e (we're gonna miss you and when are you coming back?). Anyway, I checked into a room which has mini fridge stocked with several El Presidentes' , 7-up , Pepsi, Whiskey , Vodka; you name it. They also have toiletries mouthwash and toothpaste if you need it. It will be added on your bill if you use it.
Later that evening,I went to to a place and brought a woman back. As we walked through the lobby the girl I brought in knew the hotel clerk. At first, I was embarrassed but the folks there were cool. Like if they were cheering me on. When we got in the room the fee 3mil plus exit fee (sounds steep) we had DFK, BBBJ, CFS and Russian. It was nice but the girl was quite pushy. I sent her away. Next day is Santo Domingo. (brief description is in Santo Domingo area).
I took Sunday off. On this day there isn't much to do most of the shops close down . (This might be a good day to arrange a date since not much happens) On Monday, the lady at the front counter asks me where is here friend? I thought about it and gave her another shot. She came over that morning another 3mil and it was excellent. After we were done she cleaned my room and took all of my dirty clothes home with her and cleaned them. She came back with the clothes and then we "hit the sheets" again. After that, we went out for dinner a place called "Markula" or something it's like a cowboy Steakhouse. It's quite good 900 pesos for 2 people.
Part 1 of 2
Santiago 2of2
While we were talking (she doesn't speak English) she tapped my shoulder and showed me her hands she was simulating me (you know) and then she pointed to her mouth. We went back to the hotel. I will spare you the rest.
I am going back big time!
For our friends who live on the east coast there's no reason for you to waste time in Tijuana. Only if you have to come to San Diego then it would make sense. Otherwise, you will be wasting time and money.
This was my first trip and made many mistakes but there is a learning curve and on my next trip I will be better prepared.
Lastly, it has been said that there is no racism in DR but that really isn't true. It's quite complex and those you haven't been there you can PM me I can my" experience" on that matter.
Nick
Was the $125 rt from the west coast? Details please.
I'll be in Santiago next week. Can anyone recommend a chica friendly hotel thats moderate priced and safe? Somewhere in the center so I can walk home while trawling.
Thanks

I will be in Santiago for a three day weekend mid November. Any recomendations for hotel, clubs other places to meet girls? What's the story with the "cabanas"?
I've been to Sosua for a short visit before and enjoyed it but might best flight is in to Santiago. Is it worthwhile just staying in that area? I wouldn't mind day trips as well.
What is the going rate for short term or todo la n..? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm going down to Saniago for a 3 day weekend. I was in Sosua this summer and really enjoyed. Lokking for recomendation for chica friendly clean well located hotel.
What's the deal with the "cabanas"? Any recomendation for clubs, discos to meet the lovelies? What is the going rate now with the $US down?
I'm trying enclosing photo of a friend from summer.
Need a little help here - been to Blackbeards in Costambar twice - looking for a change of pace in Santiago. Does anyone know of a great little place like BB's in Santiago that has the same "amenities" - swimming pool, talent, and discretion?
Please - clean places only!
Thanks
Foxman-
Try Hotelpa Gran Almirante (Estrella Sadhala Avenue
Santiago Do 1492). Don't have a tel # for it.
It's the most expensive hotel in Santiago, but covers some of your criteria.
Not even close to Blackbeards with talent lying around. More like a US business class hotel with a casino.
You may have to recruit some chicas and take them to a cabana.

Nothing even close comes to it in Santiago.
I read in a DR newspaper that Casablanca in Santiago was closed because of prostitution of minors. Any update about this information?
I heard that as well. The owner and manager were both jailed. The DR also just passed a law that calls for MANDATORY 30 year jail time for anyone involved in child prostitution etc.
Here is a posting that I just made on DR1.
At first I would like to say hello to everyone and thank DR1 for this forum to express our views and allow for us to share our encounters in the DR. On October 23, 2004 (last night) I arrived at STI for my Jetblue flight #426, back to JFK airport in New York, after having a fabolous five days in the DR.
After passing through customs I was stopped by a young security screener who had directed me to place all metal objects in the bin, which I complied. After placing my watch in the bowl that was provided for change and smaller objects, he immediatly took a liking to my watch then took it back out of the bowl to inspect. I would like to say that I have been to the DR many times in the past year, and dealt with the constant requests for change and offers to provide various deeds for little money to get by. But in this instance, I found myself standing in front of this young screener and his comrades (some of whom were armed) as he took my watch then placed it on his wrist then gave me his walmart special (watch) for me to have.
Unfortunately for me I don't speak good spanish and was running alittle late for this flight, so I didn't say much, not knowing exactly where this whole episode was taking me. I then proceeded through the metal detector to another security guard who wanted to check my bags, so I complied. As he was checking my bags, I had noticed that the same guy was watching as well as several other officers. Fearing for my life and liberty I just stood there and said nothing. by this time this officer had retrieved my cologne from my bag and sprayed it and said that he liked this and if he could have it, I said in english (if he could understand it or not) that it wasn't mine, so i guess he somehow understood what I was saying because he placed it back in my bag, then said when you come back to my country you bring me a small one, okay. So I said okay.
Thinking that this was all over, the same security officer then asked me if I had money for him and that he can take Dominican pesos if I have. I told him no, because I just took a taxi to airport and didn't have any money. He then pressured me to give him something, so I did, the same cheap watch that his buddy gave to me earlier. He was happy, however his buddy wasn't who was watching every bit of what was taking place. I then walked off without looking back towards the boarding area. I sat down next to a Dominican woman who was waiting to board the same flight and spoke alittle english. I told her what just happened to me at the checkpoint, and without any hesitation she jumped right up out of her seat to report the incident to jetblue. I asked her not too, either out of fear of retaliation or missing this flight due to what happened. I was tired and just wanted to get back to the states where I felt it would be in my best interest. She complied with my wishes, but expressed how embarrass she was for her country.
Once in flight, I had mentioned this to another passenger, who had stated that they had tried to shake him down for money, but he claimed not to understand and kept walking. I have since reported this to one of the flight attendants who gave me a name and e-mail address of the security director of jetblue and sent jetblue an e-mail requesting them to have one of the administrators call me at once. I will post their response here once I hear back from them. In addition, I would like to hear your response as too what I did wrong, or how you would have dealt with the situation if it had happened to you. Sorry for the long post, but I felt I had to share this with someone else who travels abroad.
NY traveler. . . .that sucks! The number one thing anybody can do to have a better time in the DR is to learn as much spanish as possible. I have NEVER had a customs or immigration guy try and shake me down. In fact sort of the opposite.
FRom time to time I would pack up some electronic gadget or another to bring to the DR, such as DVD player, VHS deck, and one time a Mcakie mixer. Now that all bags get x rayed at SDQ, they usually discover the "goods" and tell me I have to pay customs on it. I immediately hit the offensive.
For example the VHS vcr, was actually an older one but was SVHS and I probably paid 500 bucks for it a few years earlier. The minute the guy told me I had to pay, I handed it to him. I said, "throw it out", "take it home", "give it to your wife for christmas" etc etc etc. I told him in spanish that I had not seen my son in 4 months and he was waiting outside with my wife. . . .I am neither married or have any kids, but my novia was waiting ;-)
I tld him the VCR was old and was not worth anything. He said he had to call a supervisor. I ranted that it took me over an hour for my bags to show up and I wanted out of that airport immediately. I agina told him to keep the VCR and started closing my suitcase. He freaked and quickly called a manger over. The manager cam over and before he said a word, I launched into my rant that the guy was not listening to me, I don't want the piece of crap VCR, I just want to go see my son, and picked up th VCR and handed it to the manager! He was shocked, refused the VCR, and told the other guy. . ."let him go, he's a gringo, what is the problem"?
Works every time! I am really good at getting out of traffic stops by police as well. Dominicans will back down every time to a good bluff.
If an airport guy was trying to steal my watch, I'd pull out a cell phone and tell him I was calling my buddy, who's father in law was a general in the Police, and tell him I was being robbed. . . .I'd have my watch back in 2 seconds, and probably could get his watch or spare change as well!
I will be putting up a website soon with all sorts of useful travel info onthe DR and particularly santo domingo to help tourists stop getting ripped off etc. Plus I'll have all the scoop on where the "action is".
That is really bold to take someone watch place it on your wrist and steal it. I have been to DR 9 times this year and only got shook down once by the police. I notice I am a target because Budget and Payless car rentals place bumper stickers with their name plastered on your vehicle. Who can afford rental vehicles in DR?????? Gringos.
Thanks to Prtyr2 good advice, he helped me out with police stops. That American Embassy bluff worked. Thanks again Prtyr2.
I was stopped last Christmas by customs in Santo Domingo. The agent wanted $10.00. I told him I don't speak Spanish and showed him my tourist card. He got frustrated and waived me on.
One time, I was departing and the screener supervisor lady tried to take my rechargeable batteries. I told her I was not leaving without my batteries, after five minutes of me talking to her in English & Spanish she got frustrated and gave me the batteries. The screeners did get for two bottles of Dominican wine once.
I didnt know you are only allowed to take four bottles through DR customs. Now I take four bottles through customs and five in my carry on. These days, I leave my carry on in the rental car, check-in my luggage and return the rental after check-in and board with no problems. It works for me.
Like Prtyr2 wrote "Dominicans will back down every time to a good bluff." They do, just work out some scenarios in your head before you arrive in DR, because they will try you.
Never ever give in to the customs officials unless you are carrying contraband articles. Stand your ground and ask to see the supervisor.
If you give in ,they will think they can shake down anybody.
Whenever I travel to DR I usually wear cheap watch not so much scared of the customs people but the chicas who might steal or I may get drunk and somebody might take it from me.
The following day(Oct 24), I received a message from a Jet blue rep. advising me that they have conducted an investigation into the theft of my watch and similar problems that have been occurring at that airport. I have since received a call from a security agent of jetblue who called me from Santo Domingo and assured me that he will be meeting with a high ranking military official who oversees the security at the airport, and will make sure that the individuals involved are dealt with swiftly. I will keep you posted as to what the final outcome will be.
To New York Traveler,
For what it's worth I thought that my trip to DR would involve problems with customs but to my surprise it ran real smooth. I made it a point of not bringing anything that would give them an excuse to harass me. No electrical items (laptops, radios, etc.), no jewelry, and I even restrained myself from bringing some small scissors to trim my mustache for fear that they would take it away from me. Whatever I needed to bring with me that might have caused problems, If possible, I placed in the bag that would go under the plane, to cargo. I carried a fanny bag around my waist and when it came time to place all my stuff in the plastic basket I took my keys, wallet (with money), passport, and other what nots and placed it all in my fanny bag. In other words, anybody who wanted to check my stuff had to open the bag up. Second, I would not forget I left anything in the basket since everything was in the bag. Third, out of sight is out of mind. They cannot steal what they do not see. Surely they are not going to stop all the passengers just to harass one guy. Also, when I arrived in DR I was wearing jeans and a tie dye t shirt. No use dressing like a million bucks. I looked like a regular traveler. I happen to speak Spanish and made them aware of that. Also, even if you do not speak Spanish I am sure that there were alot of passengers who were bilingual and who would not have minded helping you out. Instead of bringing large sums of money just use traveler's checks. The rate exchange, I heard, is not so hot though. Or you can use you ATM card and withdraw money (as long as the card is not blocked or limited in how much you can withdraw). It is all a learning experience. I made many mistakes myself whiel in DR but as long as they do not occur again I figure that I got something out of the experience.
NY TRAVELER
There is no reasons to fear the cops or customs in the airport.
The problem with these guy is that they are very badly paid and as they are working at the airport have some kind of prestige and level to maintain. Because it is a good job and others dominicans think that's well paid.
So they try all they can to scam you.Knowing that some travellers may have something to hide they put the pressure upon you but if you stand up you have nothing to fear. Do you really think they would have use their weapons or put in jail if you have refuse to give your watch?
Dominican Republic is a country where you have to be a MAN !
According to me the young guy was just joking with you and was probably very very surprised to see that you play the game. He is certainly still laughing.
That all that I can say because I'm quite voiceless, and I don't want to put the blame on you.
Take care the next time.
I would like to know if there is a possibility of renting a car at Santiago
airport if I take Jet Blue which arrives at the ungodly hour in the early morning.

There is no reasons to fear the cops or customs in the airport.
The problem with these guy is that they are very badly paid and as they are working at the airport have some kind of prestige and level to maintain. Because it is a good job and others dominicans think that's well paid.
So they try all they can to scam you.Knowing that some travellers may have something to hide they put the pressure upon you but if you stand up you have nothing to fear. Do you really think they would have use their weapons or put in jail if you have refuse to give your watch?
Dominican Republic is a country where you have to be a MAN !
According to me the young guy was just joking with you and was probably very very surprised to see that you play the game. He is certainly still laughing.
That all that I can say because I'm quite voiceless, and I don't want to put the blame on you.
Take care the next time.[/QUOTE]

Two Nutts
I must say Santiago has the best Airport for a monger it takes no time to get in and out compare to SD and PP plus no one asks for pay offs. My friend met me at the airport and took me to the New hotel that I requested. I could have stayed with him, but would have had to use a hotel or cabana for girls for he has 3 kids. O' kay I get my room for about 40us with a mini bar in the Ice box, AC, Cable but no sex channel and accross the street from the College. Time to change money and the rate sucks 29.5 was the best for an US dollar. We went to 10 places and most were 28 to 29dr for a Dollar. Santiago is not the town for the monger who want easy picking. There is no beach and most girls don't speak enlish. The PRO spots suck there are 3 of them ( Casa Blanca, Passion and Illusion ) all 3 suck half of the girls were 4s and the 8 and 9s wanted 4000dr about $150us. Thier were some there who would have took 2000dr but they were 4s and too old for my taste. The carwashs were nice we went to about 10 of them; girls were O'kay some work for the spots other freelance. Its a nice town if you speak spanish for a non pro. A chica who only has sex with locals for free. There very few girls in DR who are Virgins unless you go way up in the Mountian on foot for thier are no road up there. There was another club call Macombos (check spelling) a local joint with about 10 girls who were 1s and 2s. Thier rate was 2000dr but they would take 1500 or 1000dr. Half of them were fat as hell and the only one who was about 7 in face and 9 in body open her mouth and it smell like hot garbage. Now the mall was dead on friday but jumping on SaT to bad I had a girl with me. If you know some spanish you can pick up the college girls and or girls at the mall. If you want to enjoy yourself find a native from the states and belive me you will have a ball. My friend took me to clubs where I was the only guy not from DR. I hung out in the slums and met nice girls who just want to eat and meet a nice guy from the US. I went to a little town where the DR girls look have asian then up in the Moutians when the girls look like thier from Europe. I had 7 girls in 4 nights and the food is cheap. The only bad thing was the hotel at checkout they charge me 2000dr for bringing in a girl each night. Thats almost an extra $100us. Boycott this hotel. The name is Hotel Plantio (check spelling) Native pay $25 a night for a couple and gringo now pay $40us for a single plus more for a girl. My friend and I told them about thier selfs me in enlish him in spanish. It a good thing I saved on the chicas the most I paid was 600dr for them to give to thier kids of mother. Any one who want my friend number pm me and can someone tell jackson to fixed the senior upgrade. I filled out 5 form for nothing.
[blue]Hi,
This is just a suggestion, so please don't take it the wrong way.
I appreciate the details in your report, but I know from experience that a lot of people find it very difficult to read a report that is written as one long block of text. It's kind of like trying to eat an entire steak in one bite.
I know how this happens: You're banging away at the keyboard, putting your thoughts into the report as fast as you can write them. However, if you could hit the return key every few sentences while you're writing, and thus break your report into smaller paragraphs, your report would be much easier to read, which would certainly be appreciated by your fellow Forum Members.
Thanks,

Gentlemen,
Can anyone tell me how to get from Santiago to Soaua and back? I mean by cab / taxi or public transportation (I am a non-driver). [I've also posted this inquiry in the Sosua forum].
Thanks.
Sure. Take a bus. Caribe Tours or Metro Tours. I have never taken metro tours but have taken Caribe tours many times. Nice clean buses with blasting AC and the price is certainly right. From Santo Domingo to Santiago was less than 150 pesos, so I would assume even less from Santiago to Sosua.
While recently in Santiago, I had no interest in hitting Passions and Illusions as they are played out and over priced. I checked out Macombs which is mentioned here. It was seedy, but was worth a visit for a beer or two.
A taxi driver that picked me up fro Macombs mentioned Zoila. It was very late and there were not many people in Zoila. I just sat at the bar and to be honest probably had too many beers to pay close enough attention to make this post worthwhile.
After a beer or two a somewhat cute petite girl came over and asked why I was sitting alone. She was not the first to ask, but the first one that was cute enough for me to buy a beer. She sat down and flirted, groped, grinded for a bit.
She then asked if I wanted to take her to my hotel. I asked how much. She said 3,000 pesos. I laughed. I said if I wanted to spend that much I'd be at Passions. . . .she laughed as well.
After a few more minutes of mutual groping she said, pay the bar my 250 peso salida and give me 1000 pesos in the morning. . . . .check please.
Honestly I was drinking all day and don't remember all the details but she gets an a for effort and when I woke up in the morning she was getting dressed. I did a quick check to make sure nothing was missing, and nothing was missing. I gave her 1,000 pesos and she told me to come get her again that night, which I didn't.
I guess for santiago it was a bit of a bargain, and I would definitely check out zoila again even if just to see it in a more sober condition!
I'd love to tell you where it is. . . . .but have NO idea. I'll do better next time. . . .I promise.
I land in Santiago early on April 29 th. (1-2 am) I need to get to Sosua (Europea Hotel) Has anyone done this? do you know what I should do, take a cab or bus? how much will it cost? I would appreciate any info.
I would go by bus using Caribe Tours. Here is a link to their website:
[url]http://www.caribetours.com.do/[/url]
From the bus terminal you can take a taxi.
Happy Trails,
JD
I take it that you're arriving late on Jet Blue. They will be adding day flights in the near future. In the meantime,you will probably have to spend the night in Santiago and catch the bus (80 pesos) to Sosua the next day. For many reasons taking a cab out there (Sosua) at that hour is too risky. Good Luck!
Hey JD de Moca,
Your best bet is staying overnight at the Hotel matum. Its about 15 -20mins from airport, then take metro or Caribe Tour to Sosua the next morning.
Hey,
My apologies JD de Moca.
Message goes to big box.
Thanks
If you want to take a cab to Sosua at that time, as a gringo expect to pay around $60 US -- I've done it 10+ times (though I'm latino and lived in the DR and thus paid much less), and you should have no trouble, I'm not sure what the other gentlemen means by 'it's not safe at the hour'. Is it because of wreckless driving?? Because that's anytime in the DR.
A good buddy of mine will be arriving in the Santiago Airport at about 9:30am tomorrow morning. Will any of you that will be landing at the same time like to share a cab to Sosua? Let me know ASAP. PM me.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
on my last free hours in my native country I found out that in the northern city of Santiago are MAny women wanting to know forreigners. Pro's and non-pros.
Right now I lack the time to post the sites here...but trust me I saw DOZENS of them with/without pics on the lookout for us.
Shouldn't be too hard to find something here. Seems that SD (capital) women are spoild......and there in Santiago honies are waiting for the turistas to get off the beaten track.
What a luck I also go to Santiago!! I allready made contact with 2 of them...:-)
Thing now is to make sure all these honies don't find out about eachother.
(I am strictly on non-pro search now guys...)Otherwise i will be fucked if they do...lol.
keep you posted.

Johan,
I'm really enjoying all your pre-trip posts! You seem to be bursting with unbridled enthusiasm - that's great! I hope that the Dominicanas don't let you down. Many of us DR regulars know full well that in addition to some real trophies to be found, there are also muchos tiburones (many sharks) down there as well.
Good luck and have fun in finding your non-pro little prizes. :)

One of the websites Johann007 was refering to may be
caribe-partners.com.
I have no insight regarding this sites services/costs.
Will be in Santiago for a few days. Haven't been there in a year, I have family in La Vega so my cousins will have a few non-pro's lined up. Let me know if anyone will be in the vicinity.
Sorry guys,
I was so hooked up in the Southgern area (SD,BC and Barahona) that I realy lack the time to go to Santiago...
Anyway my chica would cut of my dick if i went there alone.
You can get to Santiago with Caribetours for about 160 peso (one way). The drive will take about 2.5/3 hours depending on wheater and road conditions.
cheers,
Johan
Whats good with any recommended spots in Santiago? I have been there a couple of times but I was with a chica every time, me and my friend are going for 2-3 days. I speak spanish so thats not a problem for me to hook me and my friend with chicas, just trying to find out spots besides where the monument is alos I know of the car wash to.
I have a few days of vacation left and am hesitating between going to Santiogo or going to Montego Bay in Jamaica. Any advice out there to help with the decision?
It all depends on what you are going there for. If you have never been to sosua go there and you will have the time of your life. Santiago is also nice just a little more expensive with the pros and you will need some spanish and investment of time and some game to get the non pros.
If mongering is what you are going for then sosua is the place to go. Read up and have fun.
Any web sites on places to stay in STI making a trip thru for a night or two. Any place where the chicas hang out at during the day or night. I have been to Illusions anything else somebody could suggest?
I stay at a "very basic" called Colonial. I say a "very basic" place because it does not have any of the fancy furniture like at the more expensive places in town and name brand hotels. No mahogany furniture, No waterfalls, No jacuzzis, etc.
I along with many others do stay at Hotel Colonial. Right next to a telephone and internet center too. It's about 520 pesos a night with A/c. The rooms are clean and each have private bathroom, and TV. No problem with guests. It is a quick walk away from the main strip of stores where you can find Mcdonalds, clothing stores, exchange banks, Citibank, etc.
Who shops at these stores? CHICAS!!!
It's worth a shot or two. You'll never know unless you try.
Here is the info for them:

I went to Passions several weeks ago. I went at around midnight and there were many customers. It was on a Thursday night.
I got a quote of 3,000 pesos from nidnight until noon.
There is a fat guy who is around 6 feet tall who wears a red shirt. I do not know his name. He speaks pretty good English. He is also nice and generous. I'm sure he will be more than happy to help you out.

How's everyone doing?
Have any of you been to Casa Blanca? Is it worth a visit?
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers!
Are car washes set up like a separate bar/lounge next to the actual carwash area? Would it be unusual to arrive at these by foot or taxi, without an actual car to wash?
[QUOTE=Vladimir]Are car washes set up like a separate bar/lounge next to the actual carwash area? Would it be unusual to arrive at these by foot or taxi, without an actual car to wash?[/QUOTE]Side by side and no problem without a car. But don't think it is always a sure thing with a gal unless you broach the subject of leaving with her at some point. Often you can just waste a lot time there getting soused to find out the really cute honey will not leave with you. Often there is slim pickens at a carwash and mostly a lot of guys.
With all due respect to all other opinions (and I do mean respect), I rarely find the really pretty Santiagueras available in Santiago and especially not at Casa Blanca or Passion. Most there are too chunky/worn/professional and not from the area.
The babes from Santiago, and there are many, who work usually go a very long distance from the city: Santo Domigo, La Romana etc. so not to ruin reputations at home.
How do I know? I will admit investing in a number of relationships with the local beuaties to find out later they were/are working at carwashes and casas elsewhere on the island. The sad thing for me is they really are quite nice women - as some of you who are probably having them already know.
If you have a nice place with a maid and cook, and if you have an extra room in your house, apt. or condo that I can lease for several months I would really appreciate it. I want to come to the D.R. from the states for a nice change. I am a bachelor and like that D.R. women are beautiful, plentiful, and aim to please. I am a good sport, low key, no trouble, and financially secure. If you don't have the maid/cook thing going let me know and maybe we can work something out.
Respectfully,
C
I have will have about 3 days to spend outside of Santiago and was thinking Sosua or Caberete? Which one is easier to get to? and what would you recommend.

I am in DR now at the Castle so all the questions you may have about the DR...hit me...I got the baddest ho's and they aren't from a car wash or Passion or no place like that. They don't have the stomach they look like magazine ho's. They aren't American prices either.
Drinks, food, ho's, bigscreens, poker, gamblings, ps2, xbox...madden baby! So you can fuck a ***** and tell her to get you something to drink and then leave you alone while you hang with the fellas til your ready for your next session....Dre strokin bigtime baby!

Here are some pix of the last party at TpC!
I can only put up a couple 3 at a time .
The Platinum Castle does it bigtime baby.
Everybody wants to know about my TpC ladies and what they look like. If they are really bangin like I said.
Why would I lie? . I live here. The Castle is off the chains. However you do have to have your P. Status ID to come!
I will put up one more for all those cravin for more. I am off to the beach with my lilmama and a few friends. I will let you know how it goes. If you have any questions. Just post. I am American and I live here and found out all the bullshit that goes on here and know how to get around everything and do anything.
The Platinum Castle. Not another level. THE ONLY LEVEL!
All pictures were taken by The Platinum Castle!
Excellent pics, PC!!!
I vacationed in Santiago in 2004 and found the quality of the girls to be incredible - just blew away So-sewer away!
Let us know the details of the PC operation, please..
1) Cost of the rooms
2) Are the rooms all the same or charged differently
3) ST and LT rates
4) Massage available
5) Meal availability and cost
6) Airport transfers available?
7) Sightseeing tours available?
8) # of girls available
9) Location, and proximity to the centro
Anxious to know, waiting with bated breath...
We search long and hard for TpC girls b/c it's important for everyone out there to understand that we are not searching for quantity, we are searching for QUALITY. I have found the nicest looking girls in Santiago in comparison to many other places but most of the real exquisite drop dead types are hidden and if they are here they moved here from deep in the depths of nowhere. However being here creates many opportunities for The Platinum Castle.
Here is how it works.
We have TpC parties from the time you get here until the time you leave. We plan out the entire stay for each guest based on what types of things we have available and what they dream of doing most. We only take up to 3 guests at a time as you can understand the time needed to prepare for each guest is extensive. We are nothing like anyone or any business in the DR...We are American and this an American establishment based in the DR. There is alot of bullshit here in 99% of the people so we built The Platinum Castle around enjoying the benefits and leaving the bullshit for those outside the Castle.
We start off with picking you up from the Airport of course, then go back to the castle where there will be the girl of your choice or similar or a few depending on how big your appetite is. Everything is all inclusive, you get drinks, food, we have 2 maids, 65" flatscreen, xbox, PS2, poker table, full bar, companionship of course 24/7, wireless internet, free US Phone line to use, a small deposit gets you a DR cell phone all you do is put minutes and we have a car and driver on call 24/7. We have different events where we go to the beach, rent a house with a pool in Sosua or go to the beach in Boca Chica...we might go to the waterfalls in the mountains or go jetski on the lake. You never know what could happen at The Platinum Castle but you can believe you won't be on your own, you'll hang with me personally the entire time, we have personal security for all the guests and me and my people. Safety and comfort are essential in this organization.
You have to have a Platinum Status ID to come to the Castle but it's only 7.95 a month or 89.95 a year and it give you access to all the girls in the castle, and you can come to any of the parties we have, just let us know.
Unfortunately we don't have a pool at this Castle but there is another Castle opening soon that will have a huge pool and take up to 5-6 guests at a time.
Costs are the same all the time.
3 days - $750
4 days - $1000
5 days - $1250
6 days - $1500
This includes everything I mentioned and 1 companion per day. We love to gamble here at anything. I am a big ass kid and I think all men are and life doesn't let us enjoy that part of us, well here is your chance. This is the executive gentlemens party spot to kick and be themselves and relax without a care in the world and a beautiful girl at his side treating him like a King as long as you want her! This is a Castle and living like a King is only fit for a Castle, am I right?
I couldn't tell you how many girls we have, there is alot but I am always getting more, women are a pain in the ass to deal with especially in this fuckin country so I always have many to choose from.
There are many photos and video of girls to choose from and when the site is finished it will be even better.
I can't put the name of the site up b/c it's a paid for site but it's not hard to figure out. It is what it is!
Thanks Wet Nose and let me know if you have any other questions.
TpC
Hey fam,
What's good wit y'all out there. This is The Platinum Castle in Santiago doing da damn thang. There are some choice women in this country if you stay long enough, or I guess if you come to the Castle. I have to get more pix of what's going on but I still have many.
I have been taken it easy since we just got everything out of customs and I am waiting on the upgrades on the site to be finished. In the meantime I been hangin with my bad ass lil mama I got. Many of these girls don't mind if you have a wife or girl and many of aren't regular ho's that work the streets or the club....They are coming looking for that man that they can treat like a King forever but are "having fun" til they find him I guess. Who gives a fuck, can anyone out there say HELL YEA for Latina Mami's cuz they drive me fuckin nutz with the curves and the sexual essence that surrounds them 24/7. The most sexiest creature on the planet is a Latin women.....NO SHIT!
Here are some pics with one of the clients came and stayed 2 weeks!
TpC
I have been living in the DR for a while now and I would have to say that I agree with CS69 all day. And then some. Now I am a bit more blunt and I really don't give a shit what people think. I only say what is real and this country is it's own worst fuckin enemy. It's a very nonproductive place to try and call home be/see if you have money everyone is trying to take it. And being broke is something The Platinum Castle won't stand for.
The problems are simple, people have no idea how to be clean, responsible, successful, independent, or use their brain in any way shape or form. This crazy ass dude I paid like 20k pesos for a queen size bed for one of the rooms this mutha fucka brings a queen size mattress and a full size frame and says. "it's suppose to hang off like that". YOU KNOW HE GOT CUSSED OUT LIKE HE STOLE SOMETHING. Point is it doesn't matter how stupid what they do is they will make up a reason for it to be so stupid and try to make you feel like your an idiot for saying something about it.
The real problem is:
The men of this country don't mean what they say and they don't say what the fuck they mean. They dont back up what comes out of there mouth. These people are not a third world country by accident, it's there own fault. They believe in things like every man in the country or caribbean is suppose to where long pants and a collared button down shirt and its 200 degrees outside, or they don't take you seriously is what one person that lives here said, I don't know about you but why t if it's 200 degrees anywhere in the world I am going to be as close to butt nekkid all the time that I can. Doing business, eating at a restaurant, shopping or whatever. The people of this country are only interested in how things look to other people and what they will say about it. Honestly who gives a fuck but that is all they do.
They will lie for no good damn reason
Case in point:
The electricity was off for like 3 days and me and the neighbors were all coming outside, inversors stopped working and the whole works, so me and my assistant see the 2 guys that work for the electric company come and start working on a pole. We go ask them if they are fixing the light and they say no, they dont have anything to do with the part that is broken. They then say they called in and have a confirmation number on this ripped piece of newspaper and they are on the way. So an hour goes by and I ask my asst. If it felt like he was blowing smoke up our ass or what be/see my butt cheeks got tight. Out only baby, I have enough smoke of my own to blow up my own ass, so when someone else does my butt cheeks get tight. Anyway I told my asst. To call and find out.
Here is the real story, the electric dude never called and never told anyone and they had no idea anything was wrong, they then made a confirmation number and were there within a half hour and fixed the transformer which had blown out one night. My point is there was no reason for these 2 dumbass dudes who work for Ednorton or however you spell the electric company's name to tell that fuckin story. None whatsoever but they do it anyway. So I just cuss everyone here out when they fuck up and try to fuck me and then they run away scared be/see everyone here only says what will make the other person shut up. That doesn't get anything done. I don't give a shit what they think, how they do things or anything because their whole outlook on everything is ASSHOLE BACKWARDS so when they try to tell you some shit like they have to much blood and thats why they give so much, ask them who told them that or whether they cam e up with it all by themselves be/see most of the shit that comes out of people s mouth here is shit they thought up on there own. My maid my food that was nasty and said it was my tongue. Then everyone in my girls family commenced to dumping the food in the garbage and hour later when they came over. They have excuses people. Don't put up with them.
The excuses and lazy ass attitude is the cause of them being so damn broke, they want me to understand and accept there fucked up ass ways which I have and they don't want to be open to anything from someone who is and always has been successful. Americans! Nor teach their next generation of young men how to be anything but a lazy piece of shit that gets over on everyone. They are just happy being dumb!
I went to Francifold or some shit like that, I guess it's where the fuckin snobs hang out or whatever, they told me I couldnt' come in because I had diamond earring s in both of my ears. Not just any diamonds, these are the real shit you bling bling with, you know how we Americans like to shine. Needless to say they asked me to take them out, and I told them in the most non insultive way I could, I won't be back to this piece of shit and each of my diamonds represent my daughters. Therefore I was livid. I haven't been back and won't go and the other place I think is Tribeca told me I couldn't come in with Timberlands on. I would be willing to bet that I had more money in my pocket then anyone in the club and they said I couldn't come in be/see I look like I dont. I had no problem with that either be/see they are both the same owner.
I did go to the IE bar downtown and the owner treated my like a celebrity. I really appreciated that and even though its a ritzy place, you can't put a price on being treated well.
Very few people in this country get it and it starts with the men. They are full of shit and they are dumb as fuckin a bag of rocks. They beat the shit out of their women, don't work, make the women go sell there ass to feed them and their kids and then go fuck other women like they are the shit. What they don't know is all of this shit is caused by them. They are completely ok with dirt and sharing germs and not being hygienic. They have no appreciation for anything at all. My advice is stay the fuck away from the men be/see they are not men at all, they all need their fuckin ass beat. They are teaching the other children to be pieces of shit too and they try to talk bad about me be/see I won't conform to their dumbass ways of living.
Honestly I think we should put all the men of this country in the corner with a pointy hat that that says I am a dumbass on it. You will see it soon be/see I am recording all this stupid ass shit over here and when the rest of the world see's it and says they are stupid maybe they will make a change for the better be/see this way does not work in any way shape or form.
The country is disappointing to say the least but what makes me cool here over everything is the women are just the opposite of the men if you treat them right but they have no faith in anything be/see all they see is backwards ass bullshit from there leaders and kings. So if you want a GREAT woman, come to DR be/see they are just that and then some if you treat them right and mold them they can be (and I mean everyone of them) have it in them to be Queens.
I am ciphering through the shit to get to the diamonds and wow what a find when I turn over some of the rocks I come across. Anyways, the Platinum Castle doesn't have time for this country's bullshit so we don't participate in anything but the benefits of the country. The women! Everything else is invisible and doesn't get into the Castle.
One more thing I found out, is the reason everyone only does the bachata here is be/see they are afraid they will look stupid trying salsa or any other latin dance or hip hop for that matter. The craziest shit I ever saw in life is a whole club doing the same dance for 6 hours. That shit made me sick so we have our own club in the Castle where we play everything including hip hop especially hip hop and you can be and do any fuckin dance you make up in your head and we will be doing the same.
I have one more. This is the last one. I went to Ochoa to buy a pool for the roof. I bought 2 small pools and I get home to fill it up and one of them has a hole in it, I then take it back to Ochoa. These mutha fucka 's tell me I have mucho problemos. I told them I just bought the piece of shit an hour ago. They said ooooooh no, you have mucho problemos. They then put a patch on it that of course didn't work then I came home to find out that the other one had a hole also. Ain't this a *****? . One big fuckin loss. These fuckin people trip me out with this type of bullshit but it let me further understand that nothing in this country is new and the rest of the world takes a big dump of all the shit that don't work and sends it here. So never buy anything from here. Ever, ever, ever. Get it from the states.
Thanks for listening and hope this info was helpful. And remember Tpc always keeps it real!
CS hit me up, let s have a drink sometime.
TpC
So it's bright and early on Monday morning and TpC is back again. Off to the gym to see how good of shape I can stay in.
I need to know what everyone that comes to Santiago or Sosua is looking for when they come to this sight. What do you want to know? What do you want to see? When you come out here is there anything in particular that your looking for besides pussy because that is always available. At TpC we cater to the foreigner coming thru Santiago where the finest girls like to party.
We are still making huge leaps because that's just how we do it but I need some feedback on what you want out of a private getaway in the Caribbean.
I am currently looking for another Castle with a pool so if anyone has any connects with or knows of anyone with a big ass empty Platinum Style Castle and wants a piece of the action....hit us up. We are expanding quickly and want to include all the people that love to party that we can.
TpC
So the water is off which is a pain in the ass because I just got back from the gym so I have be stank until I get water. Or else I might take my ass to a cabana.
We have big things coming up, TpC is growing bigger everyday! The girls are putting together some big shit because they are more then just pussy. These bangin ass girls can get there bounce on too. Love to see a Latin mami do her thing like you know latin women do.
Anyways. I been thinking about the belief's and things they have in this city or country or whatever and it all makes sense now! When a whole country believes that it's ok to tell a lie as long as they don't know if it hurts somebody has definitely changed my opinion of the people in a good way and a really bad way.
The bad is the obvious. Lying just to lie is never a good thing. The good is these people never stress anything. Everything is tambien no problemo. Bullshit. They are so full of shit it scares me but they live longer or something right?
Anyways theres a few party's coming up soon at the Castle! So make sure that your stay on top of the current events because we are moving quickly and swiftly to give you what you need!
Why would anyone want to go to Platinum Castle and pay $750 to $1500 for bigscreen tv, xbox, and to get laid, when you can get girls yourself for much less, and watch tv and play video games anywhere there, and have that money in your pocket? don't make any sense to me, but I guess theres alot of people out there that enjoy getting ripped off.

thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated. in response to your quote, the reason is this. i am not interested in cheap ass, piece of shit, disease carrying $1500 or $2000 pesos a girl bitches or people who want them. this is only for quality not for 200 idiots to come to the castle, fuck it up, not appreciate shit, think your gonna fuck my dimes and leave for $2000 pesos.
the prices you quoted were for 3 days to 6 days, which includes airport pickup/dropoff, dr cell phone, girl 24/7, a different girl each day if you like, all the food and drinks you can handle, we have a full bar, and it's a private club not a passion or carwash. you won't find a ***** from any place like that here. my girls will be representing the platinum castle worldwide. this is just the first platinum spot. there is alot more coming just consider yourself lucky to know about it now. the games and all that are bonus type shit that you don't find much of in the dr and the only place i have seen places like this one are not in the dr.
since i only allow 3 guests in each castle at a time, the fact that you pay 250 an hour in new york and your paying 250 a day and i am taking away all responsibility of dealing with the bullshit. however everyone has there own opinion and yours is as valuable as everyone elses. i guess. i really don't know but i have gotten very few notes like this one, and 1000's from people who "don't mind getting ripped off".
here is my request, if your going to say that i am ripping people off, then make sure you know every aspect of what's going on or you will look like an idiot because your talking about shit you know nothing about. also tpc will always keep it real with you and my main objective is for everyone to understand is that "i just don't give a fuck" and if you can dish it i can take it, but make sure you can take it when it comes back and smaks the shit out of you and you can't get in because you want a skank ***** that your daddy probably hit when he came. i am not ripping off anyone, just check with the p. status peeps that have come. because it's evident that you aren't one of them.
quality not quantity. if your looking for quantity. there are plenty of women! i live here i know, but 70% of these nasty fuckin stank bitches couldn't step in my fuckin house. this ***** spit on my floor like 6 months ago. that is some nasty fuckin shit.
anyways, the castle is doing well. we are getting another castle with a pool by the beach soon, this castle is complete and when we are done in sosua or puerta plata we are off to costa rica.
big shit is going on with video and the site, we have some sci fi porn coming up with one of my girls. we are doing an entire story line around her being captive in a palace. that's all you get. to know the rest you have watch. will be out in a few months.
also the party spot is going to be jumpin off soon also. there so much going on it's hard to hold it in but i have been asked to have some restraint. therefore all i can do is talk shit on this site right now, but soon. tpc is going world wide baby. !
if tpc is to expensive for any of you or you don't want to spend the money to come or whatever the fuck you come up, do me a favor and keep it to yourself, i don't give a fuck if you don't come in the least. i really would rather put my attention to the 4000 emails i have and 30 phone calls i get a day of people who are interested.
however if you do decide to give me your opinions on money or whatever, then from this point on expect to get cussed out because that is more fun then trying to be nice to someone who is putting my business down. i don't care if it's too much for you, by all means go where you have been going. or find out from the people who have been here but if your only concern is money or whatever then this isn't the spot for you anyway. all my p. status peeps hang with me personally and they get all of my attention and the attention of my staff and girls. ok that's all. i'm done now. thanks for reading.

Thats ok, everyone has a right to say what they think. You can keep up with your 4000 emails which I doubt because you would not have time to keep advertising on this site, and you can have your own opinion on what kind of women I have been with, so called skanks, but I bet the women you have there has been with every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there. So thanks but no thanks, I will keep my money and have fun with the ladies that are just as safe as yours. I have been around enough to know whats going on. I won't be reading anymore of your reports, so don't bother answering. Good luck and take care of the castle.
I have been to the Platinum Castle and it was worth every penny, first off, when you are a guest there, you have the whole run of the house, Liquor, Food, Entertainment, Driver, and especially Afternoon Sex. For newbies to the Santiago area who don't speak spanish or have connections, they allways have to wait till the late night to buy pussy from one of the car washes or Passions, Casas, or Illusions. These girls will charge a newbie $4,500RD($150) for an all-nighter and she's gone first thing in the morning. Not counting the over-priced drinks you are buying, car-fare and cabana rates. Now for $250, I can drink, eat, and fuck all day & night long, plus I am not stuck in a tiny hotel room with a TV and a Fridge.
I am not a newbie to the Santiago area, I can speak fluent spanish and have a lot of connections in that region, including my female friends who attend PUCMM & UTESA and they have other gorgeous friends. But I stayed at the Platinum Castle to pretty much check it out, I was curious because nobody ever tried this in a Santiago neighborhood.
Why is this thread DEAD?? No action is Santiago, where are the newbies who want to fukk the baddest chicas en la todas pais. I can get you laid in Santiago, guaranteed, POST AWAY!
The only thing crackin in Santiago is The Platinum Castle and we have our own thread so find us. Gone.
i'm sorry sometimes i type when i've had a few coronas and my thoughts are faster than my pekkin. what i really liked was that this place is private. ! after my first post i found out i was not supposed to do what i did but it was so much fun that no one minded. i'll tell the chicken something arriving in sosua or p. p. with your dick in your hand and no friends is the worst fukkin advice you could ever give anyone. the beach anywhere in the world is rough and expensive. thieves all over sharpies govt agents lookin for you know what. girls who have seen it all. i have stayed at a hotel clean cheap hotel in santiago with no website that i know of and when i'm there i don't need a site to see i need a site to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url]. you gotta remember that you are in the second city the big valley everyone comes here colleges banks clubs the only thing missing is tourists. the monument is probably the best chicks all over the place.

When I go there DR. I almosy never watch TV. Too inconvenient! No one lets you touch their TV. Why would they you would not let someone touch yours! Its not like here t. V. S cost too much there there is a import tax and another tax on top of that. You buy a 400us tv here there is 700. And a trip to the store by cab. It looks like you really know your way around. You can't watch shit in that country unless you have tv in your room or at a friends house or in a bar restaurant video who you kidding go follow some kid with one of those things in his hands and borrow it. How many times have I gone to bed because I thought the chick was comin only to find out the next day over apologies and excuses she said she will be there tonite. Well tonite I won't be there for her. I'll probably be playing videos anywhere. Walking around looking for a kid to share his pocket video that he won't share with anyone?

If you look into yourself and wonder why you don't do some things its because you can't afford it. I always wonder about that myself do I really like old bikes or is it because I can't afford the ones I really want. Of course you have inexpensive pussy in DR. And it is evan cheaper in bankcock but it is a much different trip no? You say ripped off and where have you been ripped off in d. Are? / you want to get ripped off just go to jamaica W.I. Go to the beach like Sosua Negril you will get fukin ripped there I find it hard to understand how a person who has probably gone down the cheapest path is worried about someone else having a great time and it only costs a little bit more than you have to spend! Is your cock in your puppet have you ever been to a nice private club that was my first time and I havent used the term ripped off since college days and I always tell all I meet to come to the DR. And if you can stand in front of me or your friends and say that you did not have a good time I will refund your airfare. No one has ever come back unhappy!

And I don't know what else is connected to tv. Games video etc food some ice cold drinks and service don't have to go anywhere friendly atmosphere but maybe you know. I used the phone to the tune of 50 us a day the phone at centers is us 20 cents 25cents 30cents a minute whiuch is why I don't use call centers very much cell calls are 20cents minute well maybe not 50us a day but a lot of calls
Hey guys,
Have been to Puerto Plata and Sosua on previous trips and now have to return to Santiago on business. Question #1 does anyone have a suggested hotel? One that has e-mail or an website would be best. A hotel that has Internet access even better. Also, does anyone have a suggested driver? I have to go to La Vega and then Santo Domingo. Anyone that has an idea of the cost involved or if I should take some AC bus, please chime in. The only recent activity on this board seems to be with that of The Platinum Castle which I will reserve judgement on. I actually PM'd the castle 5 days ago with some questions and no response. Keeping this in mind are the old locations discussed on this forum still valid? Would best route go by finding and then asking a good driver? I'm 33yo and speak reasonable Spanish should I just chexk a few discos? Does anyone know of a casino in Santiago?
Thanks in advance,
Ender

Ender[/QUOTE]A driver can easily run you upwards of $70+ one way, I suggest you take caribe tours, which is a nice air-conditioned bus that has routes from Santiago to The Capital with several stops including La Vega. Just google caribe tours for their website.
For casinos there is the Matum and Gran Almirante, also taxis will take you to all parts of Santiago for RD$200 tops.

I met a driver with a nice diesel van that seemed more than reasonable to me I always try to remember that cars and fuel are more expen$I've there but he was always willing to be adjustable and on time with appointments. He also got me a nice chick once and some dogs the other times I told him he wasted hid time and he was not happy but he was the next nite. I will try to look or find his taxi # if you can afford it business payibg hire a car and driver so you have unrestricted movement. Maybe a little guide or translator. Nothing like getting off at a terminal in a city and not knowing where to go. Call the platinum the monument on Thursday Friday sat is wild I think let me know if you want

If you leave after the 19th in September you can get from JFK to Santiago for $99 each way. With taxes I got the trip for $315! With the fuel surcharges these days that's one hell of a deal. FYI

Those of you that know me from this board or TSM (does anyone remember TSM?) will know that the thing I hate most is punters paying too much for tang and spoiling it for the rest of us. In my opinion why travel anywhere if it is not at least 1/5 the cost of what you get in the states. This being said I am returning to the DR for business which brings me into Santiago. When I was in Puerto Plata I visited Blackbeards for 2 days but spent the rest of the time at the Palace in Sosua. As reported (see PP section) I thought they did Blackbeard's well and if you want a safe and clean place where you don't have to do any work, I thought it was done well. Difference here with The Platinum Castle (TPC) is that the owner is younger, less experienced and has less cash on hand. This does not mean that it's not worth a try. I do find the prices about $100 more than they should be per day, but we will see. So I'm going to take one for the team and see what it has to offer. I don't think he should have posted here till complete with construction, but that may simply be because of his limited knowlege of the board and business experience. I spoke with him on the phone and he seems like he really wants to please the customer. He's also taken some well deserved knocks with some grace, so we'll see what it's all about. I will be there on Sep 20th and heading to SD so if any newbies want to tag along PM me and I'll see what's up. I'll also be doing the Casa thing and hit a few carwashes, patrol the barrios for non-pro action etc. etc.

Ender[/QUOTE]I have the same deal in October.
In an earlier post you asked about getting to Santo Domingo from STI.
I was in the DR for New Year's Eve 2005 for the first time. Flew into STI on JetBlue, took CaribeTours bus to Santo Domingo and back for the return flight. No problem at all. Since the inbound flight arrived STI at 3:00am I pre-arranged p/u at airport and VERY cheap hotel in Santiago for remainder of night - did not want to wander around strange airport or city or country first visit.
I will do same this trip, except for the cheap hotel.
I am reasonably fluent in Spanish, 4 yrs recently at college level plus some day to day conversations.
Does anybody have any updates from Santiago? Ender, did you ever get to TPC and, if so, what's your assessment. Do you have contact info (e-mail and phone number) for the owner who's been posting on this board?
What's going on with the clubs? The early closing hours seem to be having an impact as reportedly Ambis I has closed for good.
some things expected, others not. let me start my description of the castle by stating that the person who is going to make it or break this place is the main owner/operator. that being said drexel (those of you who remember the movie true romance will understand the reference)puts the im in pimp. he is one of the most personable guys i have met, and truely believes in what he is trying to create. he also has a teriffic business mind. a dr. jekyl / mr. hyde? yes, in every sence of the word.
what is the platinum castle? very much as described, the platinum castle is a bed & breakfast style destination for mongers. ever wanted to know what it is like to be a well heeled foreigner in a city of angels? your experience at the castle will give you exact insight of what it is like to live in santiago, both positive and negative. you will experience young sweet women who love to hang and party, you will experience power outages on a daily basis. (drexel has a battery backup system in the house). it is an experience of staying with a friend in country and not having to worry about anything. hang out during the day or go your own way, eat on site or eat where you want. have a guide for a day or find the ways yourself. watch sunday night football with the guys or catch up on some work using the high speed wireless internet.
the current location of the platinum castle is a good one, but the house itself is not up to par with the idea that drexel is trying to create. the three greatest lacking features of the house are that there is no hot water, no air conditioning and no pool. the things that have been done right, the place is spotless with great maids, televisions in every room and a huge sony in the livingroom, cheap international calls and high speed wireless through the house.
while i was there i had the opportunity to see the most likely future destination of the platinum castle. this will most likely be complete in 30-60 days from now. let me say that drexel knows what is needed and this new location will blow your mind. secure parking for 10 cars, huge pool and outdoor jacuzzi, outdoor dance/bar area, central air, hot water and a huge master suite. this move will make the castle the perfect destination and truely a worldclass option for mongers regardless of destination. it's just a matter of getting the place ready and going through the legal work, which in santiago is one giant pain in the ass. so i can say with confidence that with a new "castle", the platinum castle will be the only destination in santiago. members on this board are more experienced, for those that are, drexel will provide barebones packages to those that would like them. for those newbies, you'll have a great time with your stay and with the services provided.
lets discuss cost.. $75 per day for the room is reasonable considering that you would spend between $50-$100 on a hotel. i do not know of a hotel with wifi in santiago so that alone was worth the price of the room. with the new location you will have an almost private vila in the heart of santaigo, with a huge pool and a great atmosphere. in summary, the cost of the room is not an issue at all. i believe that an additional $60 would be for a driver which is a fairly standard rate and reasonable especially since the driver speaks very good english. i did not take that option and drove myself, the choice is yours but i would suggest a gps if you are not familiar with santiago. i believe it is $50 / day for meals/drinks again, you will have to ask drexel about this because i did not go this route but considering that i consumed 75 beers in 6 days it might have been a better option. which brings us to the last point
chicas. i'm a particular guy that has been nearly everywhere mongering. the chicas of santiago are far better looking than their counterparts in puerto plata and sosua. that said, the pros want more money than their counterparts in other areas. 3000 per night is the average going rate. some are being quoted higher, some lower. i think you could haggle down to 2000 if you speak some spanish which i do. you should talk with drexel about what you are looking for, he has a stable of about 100 chicas whom he can call, possibly more although much to my dissapointment, he keeps the best 20 or so for himself! point being that i did not discuss my tastes with him prior to arriving in santiago. thus my tight schedule and certain girls being unavailable made trips to the local tallent sources a frequent and fun diversion. he does not make any money off of the chicas so if you get them on your own or through him it's all about your powers of closing the deal or letting him do it. drink your beers at the castle because they are new york prices when you go to the clubs.
casa blanca. located on the main highway between santo domingo and puerto plata, casa blanca was an interesting destination. some fine chicas and some horiffic ones. however, had the best night of the trip here on friday night when they had a free nude review. check the chicas skills and body out before you get home! a fantastic time about 40 chicas every night i was there.
illusions. for some reason this was my favorite spot although i would say that casa blanca was almost as good some nights we were there. some hot chicas just down the block from casa blanca. looks like passions has a bar in the back left but also has an outside area if you want to get out into the hot air or grab a smoke. a little more high pressure and poorly lit than casa blanca with about the same number of women the time i was there.
passions. a disco type atmosphere lots of locals and some hot but slightly high pressure chicas. not lit well so it was a little hard to see the tallent. about 40 when i was there but the area smelled like shit. my least favorite of the three, but the women were fine so it is worth a look.
in summary, as it stands now the castle and management are on the right road to a sure thing in santiago. are they there, no will they be there? most likely. once the new place is set in place, i think this will be the perfect destination for any hungry monger. drexel can start to focus his efforts less on building a business and more on running one. more research into semipro chicas etc. etc. this place will succeed in no small part to drexel who will provide you with top notch customer service. he will try hard to make you happy, just let him know what you want.
now, in response to your question if the new 12am closing time is having any effect on the business? it is most likely hurting the clubs, but with the chicas leaving earlier that means you can steal them for their off hours rates and most likely get better deals than before. average chica wants 3000 or that is what they told me, depending on the girl i had no problem getting them down to 2500 and some to 2000. i had a great time at casa blanca and saturdays and fridays with the free show were the most fun of any club i went to. hope the info helps.

Thanks for the update on the casas. Are these places adhering to the same early closing hours as the rest of Santiago? Did these places actually close at midnight on weeknights? Are there any action spots after closing hours?
Does the long-term (all night) pricing you quoted (3000 average, 2000-2500 achievable with some Spanish & negotiating skills) apply to all 3 of these clubs or did it differ among them? Is there a salida (takeout fee) paid to the clubs and was it included in the prices you quoted. If extra, how much more?
Any special dos and don'ts at these places?
Thanks in advance for your follow-up response.

VG[/QUOTE]Yes, all of the casas are adhering to the same early closing hours as the rest of the clubs in Santiago, midnight (Sun-Thu) & 2am (Fri-Sat)
The prices of 3000RD is generally the asking for all three clubs, it can go as high as $4000 for newbies who don't know any better.
The salida is included in the 3000RD asking price, the owners get a cut from the girls.
Do's and Don'ts, try not to buy girls alot of drinks when you're there, only buy for girls you're interested in taking home or out back in the cabanas. Do attend some of the carwashes before hand and try hooking up with them there, many of these girls work in the clubs after they leave the carwash, the asking price will be cheaper.
For the experienced chica chasers who know Santiago well, I have questions concerning the less-discussed avenues for scoring with them.
Car Washes - These have been discussed to some extent, but not a lot of detail has been provided. The ones most frequently mentioned are Gomez Diaz, Kelvin's and Korona. Which of these is best? What are the going prices? What is the best time to go so as to avoid a long wait for leaving with a selected chica?
Bars and Clubs - Which Santiago venues offer the best possibilities for leaving with a hottie ... whether she's P4P or a non-pro? Specific club names and even best nights of the week would be helpful.
Beeper Chicas - Infrequently mentioned, this slice of the Santiago P4P market lies largely below the radar. Does anybody have contacts, leads or even general info for tapping into this market?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help.[/QUOTE]Car Washes - Gomez Diaz has the best talent amongst the car washes, you will notice that many chicas will start off at Gomez and when Gomez closes around 11 or 12, they move on to Passions, which is the best out of the three casas and the largest. Kelvin's is more suited for the locals in Las Colinas and the quality is ok but not as good as Gomez, but you can dance there, no bailando en Gomez Diaz. A good thing about Kelvin's is that your an ear shot from regular hangout spots, (Rancho Tipico, Rancho Merengue, Patron Burger, etc.) Girls usually goes for about $2000 more or less, in regards to the girls, if they like you, and how you can negotiate. The best time is near closing, also if you have a cell phone, you can arrange something later.
Bars and Clubs - If you have game and can speak spanish any of the major discos and lounges like Biu Pub, baja, Montezumas, Monte Bar. Also, One Way Bar, which is off Las Carreras towards the Monument is always packed. Since you are not a local, it may be hard to know who is who.
Beeper Chicas - local hot university girls who's waiting for your phone call, spanish language is a must, many hang out with their girlfriends in the Mall (Plaza International) or the local bars around PUCMM and UTESA. Technically, any phone number you get will be your eventual beeper chica, including the chicas in car washes and casas who make a little extra on the side. Go to One Way Bar or the other jumping bars around the monument, befriend one of the workers and he'll point them out to you.
Good Luck
Terry U, Thanks for the info. You obviously know the lay of the land in Santiago. A few follow-up questions:
[QUOTE=Terry U]Car Washes - ...

Or are you talking about a few hours for that price? Also, where can you rent a cell phone for a week and what's a reasonable price?
[QUOTE]Bars and Clubs - Biu Pub, baja, Montezumas, Monte Bar. Also, One Way Bar, which is off Las Carreras towards the Monument[/QUOTE] Do you have any addresses for these places? I know the taxistas will know, but it helps to know, even the neighborhood, for planning purposes.

The later, the better and with the new curfews, it will be hard for her to hustle back to the casas to pull an extra trick. I don't rent cell phones when I am down there, you should just use your current cell phone, go to the Orange shop and get a pre-paid sim card for your phone, its quick, cheap(RD$350-locked phones) and easy. Once activated, you just buy RD$100, RD$200, etc.. pesos cards and your connected.
[QUOTE=Viajero Guapo]Do you have any addresses for these places? I know the taxistas will know, but it helps to know, even the neighborhood, for planning purposes.[/QUOTE]BiU Pub - close to the Monument and under Hollywood Cinema, right off of Duarte highway. Very Big Disco like Ambis(RIP)
Montezuma - Across the street from the Monument right next to Kukuramakara (sp?) on the corner, can't miss it.
Monte Bar - Las Colinas, Santiago, on 27 de febrero (it's in between Kelvin's Car Wash & Patron Burger, plus its directly behind Rancho Tipico)
One Way - On the corner of Las Carreras & Tolentino(three blocks from the Monument)
[QUOTE=Viajero Guapo]Plaza International has been mentioned to me. Again, can you provide cross streets or at least the neighborhood name?

Plus, they should have just completed the Las Colinas Mall, which is large.
Plus, I would like to add if you go to the Casinos, like the Matum, alot of action with Pros and Semi-Pros. Matum is down the block from the Monument, can't miss it, they have a huge rotating sign.
Have fun
I was just wondering what is going on here with the casas and clubs.
I am coming this weekend and staying at the Platinum Castle.
I vistited the Car Wash, Gomez Diez, at 3 pm Saturday. It did not have much in quality. Sound system was blaring so loud I could not talk to the bartender and order a drink without shouting in his ear.
The 4-5 girls hanging around there were 2s to 4s. Gorditas. There was one doable girl, turned out she was an american on vacation with an attitude. Told me she was not working.
I hope the Platinum Castle has good luck with their new move to another house with a pool and air conditioning. I could not take the lack of air conditioning at the house, so I checked into the just opended Marriott, by the airport, for $99 a night including breakfast.
On my first night at the Castle, I enjoyed Melissa, a slim sexy girl with 3 kids, my first night at the Castle. Agreed to pay her $100 for all night, but she was typical, complained about not being able to sleep and started talking on her phone to a girlfriend, complaining to me, then took off after midnight. So much whining and complaining I just wanted her to get the fuck out. You practically need to chain the girls to the bed from the DR to get todo las noches.
Saturday I visited the Gomez Diez Car Wash and the mall Plaza International(unsuccessfully) and hung out with an attractive divorcee I met at the hotel, I did not get any pussy, but I have to rest Mr. happy once in a while and save up my leche for my next fuck, it should be oozing out her ears tonight.
I think the Castle has a long, long way to go to get to the status of its website, or the Medellin Mansion or Blackbeards, but Andre is a decent guy and I wish him luck against the odds. He is struggling, but I admire his dedication and hope he can make a go of it.
Just came back from a session with Nadia. 2,500 on site and 3,500 is standard to take out. I would not recommend her, but the club is ok.
Hi,
I am fairly young compared to most on the board (23yrs). I am supposed to go to Santiago for a year. Santiago seems like the place for me since it seems like a good NON-PRO destination and I hear it also has lighter-skinned women (I prefer them light) I dont know however if it is true. But how much game is a guy going to need? I bought the mysterymethod from mysterymethod.com and doubleyourdating.com so I can push up my game before I move to the Dominican republic for a year. I have also started brushing up on my spanish. Any information will be helpful.
Thank you.

Thank you.[/QUOTE]If you are clean cut, can speak spanish and have some sort of game in your own country, you'll be fine, with most of the girls in Santiago. If you have money and you have serious game, dress in the latest chic fashions, i.e. Citizens of Humanity Jeans, Juicy Couture shirts, latest footware, etc.. You can hob nob with the upper echelon in Francifol, Tribeca, and a couple of others in the Capital when you are there. Go to Bonche .com on the internet for photos. These chicks are the finest in the country period, because they have money. But, Spanish is the key!! Oh yeah, hip-hop fashion is frowned upon by the upper-class dominicans, you'll be labeled as a "Tigre" and probably refused entry to high-end clubs and restaurants.
Good Luck, Have Fun!

Hey Enigma,
Give me a call when you are coming or when your here. I will show you the ropes, and don't worry you don't need alot of money if you live here. It's alot different here and there is alot you will have to get used to. However there are many benefits to being a Santiago resident for however long your stay. Be safe!

Hi gents,
I've been working in Santo Domingo for a few days and just found out I'll be being driven to the Marriott Courtyard about 9 km S of the Santiago monument this (Sun) afternoon, staying overnight, working (shit) tomorrow ant being driven right back to SDQ. If I recall, this Marriott is in the middle of nowhere. Any suggestions for puss?
Also, is there a new Marriott near the Santiago airport? Better pickings there? Maybe I can change my reservation.
Thanks,
BCS
Hi,
I just found out I'm going to be driven to the Marriott about 9 kM outside Santiago on Duarte Hwy this (Sun) afternoon. Just be there one night, then back to SDQ. Any pussy possibilities while stuck there with no car?
Thanks,
BCS
Big,
Passions is close to the marriot. I can't remember if its walking distance (probably not), but it would be a very short cab ride.
Cheer,
MC
Does anyone know what club Frisco is referring to in this post?
Not Passions - I mean the [i]other[/i] one he mentions, near La Vega:
[QUOTE=Frisco]Hello guys, I'm a Dominican born citizen living in California, work in technology and love PUSSY! I was just in La Vega, it's about 20 min from Santiago. I have lots of family in La Vega /Santiago. Lots of Cousins and they each had at least 5 girlfriends . I would not recommend Passions they are on the way to Santiago from La VEga(the only highway) they are extremely overpriced, I can't beleive they are still in business. There is one place right off the highway on the left after a few hotels, forgot the name but i'ts big and you can't miss it heading from La Vega to Santiago, you go in and theirs plenty of girls, 6-9's 40 dollars max for the night plus a 5 dollar exit fee and another 15 dollars for the hotel and your set, I went to that place everynight I stayed in La Vega had 3 different threesomes great time. Planning to returen soon after summer.[/QUOTE]
Has anyone stayed at the Hotel Colonial lately. Is it O.K.? I don't need a really nice place. Just a place to crash and do my thing. Also do you need to make reservations there? I can't find a link to them. Probably too small.

Yes, its recommended, because once in a while you'll get large groups booking many rooms, so I would call a week in advance to make sure. Also, the owner is constructing another hotel next door, so if you don't want to be wakened up at the crack of dawn by the sound of machinery, request a room that is not facing the parking lot. Other than that, its cheap, clean and safe.
I am headed for Santiago next month and have been reading the forum. I am a little confused about Car Washes, which seem to be a fruitful source of young and pretty chicas in Santiago. Can someone give me a description of these places, ie, how they work? Are there really cars involved?

Yes, you can actually wash your car there, but they also have a bar and sitting area where girls can sit with the patrons and ply their trade, the car wash Gomez Diaz will have girls acting like waitresses and when the place closes around 11 or 12, they work in Pasions or head over to the Casino. You go there and pick a waitress who's not sitting with anyone, call her over, have a drink with her and negotiate a time and price. Kelvin car wash is more open to this and allow dancing.
Oh yeah, if you go to the Matum and see any girl sitting by herself playing nickel slots, is a hooker. Ask her name, if she's waiting for someone, and buy her a drink. Then you'll be off to the races.
Last time I was in Santiago, probably September 2006, I visited Gomez Car wash one afternoon, hoping to get some pussy.
First of all, the music was blaring so loud you could not even hear yourself think, much less talk to the girls.
There were some girls there working, but they were about 4s or 5s, mostly chubby.
There was a hot looking chica, I tried to talk to her twice, she was sitting at a table inside the bar area, finally she said, "I'm not interested in you, I'm american!" Stuck up little bit ch!
So I went back in my taxi cab to the hotel by myself and visited Passions that night.
Passions had a very good selection, mostly 7-8.5s. But all the girls were hustlers, clock watchers, give me propina, you know the routine. If you go to Passions you are asking to be ripped off by girls who know the routine much better than you!
They put the hustle in the big apple, these Dominicanas!

I have to admit that Santiago is not Monger-friendly, you have to know the terrain to be successful in Santiago. Because if you don't, you'll be stuck going to those expensive clubs, to monger in Santiago, you have to speak spanish and be able to pick out a puta when you see one. I personally had success screwing the waitresses at small tipicos and billards around the monument. Maybe check out casa blancas or Illusions or Kelvin Car Wash. It's good to befriend a young local cab driver who could take you around in the areas and bag some nice young semi-pro. Oh yeah, don't go to the car washes when its still daylight, too early. These putas wake up late and hang out in the malls till 7 or 8.
Santiago is also meant to be a good place for non-pro activity if you have the money and the time.
I hear that the women are the best looking on the whole island, Boca chica being second.
Ofcourse this is all subjective. I will be able to tell you guys when I travel tomorrow. I am going to Cartagena, Colombia and then to the DR to monger.
Will bring lots of pics and maybe a video
Cheers
Sorry, the women in Santiago are no more better looking than anywhere else. This is a tall tale, mostly from men who recommend it. Some say the girls there are more cream colored than black. This could be true, but there are so many mixtures in the Dominican Republic, you can see all different types in the Capitol, Santo Domingo.
Actually I recommend Santo Domingo for the best girls. Boca Chica has alot of skanks that need a shower from hanging outside all day.
Sosua has alot of pure black girls.
Good luck, to a certain extent, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And if they dance well and pay attention to you, that also helps.
I've read over this thread a few dozen pages back (which quickly takes you to 2004!) and I can't seem to find any mention of any decent massage places in Santiago. I'm looking for something similar to the massage places in Sosua, 1000 pesos for a massage and BJ, no FS necessary.
Since my flight arrives first thing in the morning, I'll be looking for some daytime relaxation. If none exists, I might just head directly to PoP/Sosua and save my non-pro mongering attempts for the end of the trip.
Does anyone have any experience with the Gran Almirante? Will they let you take a girl back up to your room? Or is it like Jaragua's in SantoDomingo?
Also, how is the selection of girls in the casino after midnight on a Saturday night? Thanks F

They'll let you take a girl back if you show discretion and friendly with the staff. The quality of the girls vary at the casino, but after curfew they pile up inside the disco, since they close later than all the other clubs in santiago.

Colonial is on Salvador Cucurullo near the corner of Treinta de Marzo. It's located in the central area of Santiago near all of the shopping on Calle del Sol and Las Carreras, which is the main strip. On calle del sol, there is a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, large supermarket, numerous banks, phone companies, flea markets, and clothing stores. On the corner of the Hotel, there's a taxi stand with taxis waiting all times of the day and night. Across the street there is a bus stand with guaguas that will take you practically anywhere in the cibao region. The corner of Salvador Cucurullo, you'll find low level hookers hanging out in the chinese restaurant or the Hotel Lima's disco in the back and if you have to or want to screw one of them, I would bring them through the back and up the stairs of Hotel Lima, pay $RD100 for the room, real quick and quiet. There's also a nice place to drink and scout for some non-pro action around the corner off of treinta de marzo, facing the firehouse, to drink and catch a nice chica working there for tips. Also, straight down the block past treinta de marzo there is a new colmado, which plays music and have some decent local action. Plus, further down the block across calle de Lopez (sp?), there is a Billiard spot with some cute girls working there, its right on the corner (easy spot to pick up non-pros)
Please note, be careful walking up the other direction up Salvador Cucurullo towards San Luis & Sanchez, it's a ghetto and you might stand out.
Local places to eat, the restaurant in Hotel Aloha Sol is decent and you can eat like a Dominican on the second floor of El Encanton(sp?), on Restaucion about three blocks from the Colonial, it is also a large supermarket. A tip, late at night after a evening of dancing, drinking, and whoring, hahaha. Go to Machena's on Estrella Sadhala, it's a nice 24 hour restaurant or you can eat like a Local and go to food truck across from Monte Bar in Las Colinas (27 de Febrero). Most restaurants have to close early because of the liqour curfew.
Buen Suerte,
Nice clean hotel, cable, air, one bed, fan, refrigerator (prefilled), small table $64.00 (2010.00 RDs), be prepared to pay a fee if your girl stays the night. Mine came by 3 or for times but didn't stay the night and I didn't get hassled as I told the manager she would be visiting but not staying. I don't know the guest charge.
There is an attached casino that has the usual games, it does not have a craps table. There is also a chinese restaurant attached to the casino.
Matum Hotel and Casino
Ave Las Carreras No 1, Santiago
tel: 809-581-3107
Next to Hotel Lima on the corner of 30 de marzo and Salvador Cucurullo, 1 block down from the corner of 30 de marzo and 27 de febrero, near the intersection of the cemeterio muncipal.
Basic, almost clean, tv, cable single bed, fan, a/c is extra (2.50US).
There is a guaga/taxi/bus stand right on the corner and you can get anywhere from here. Parking a car was difficult. There area during the day is working class. At night it changes, be aware.
Price with air was 630.39 RD (543.44 w/o air) exchange rate around 3 to 1.
The breakfast car photo comes about as I was out having a morning coffee, I say a crowd gathered around the trunk of this car and a abuelo putting plates together. I asked her to please show me what she had and she had a virtual smorgasboard of food. One of the best breakfasts I have had in the DR for 40 pesos.
No one spoke english while I was there, so your mileage may vary.

I visit Santiago all the time and if you think Santiago is anti-monger land YOU ARE WRONG.
Santiago is different than POP or Sosua as that you have to know someone to have a great time there. Yes you can go to Passions and get a girl for the night but, she is ready to leave as soon as you spray one on her face and that becomes a pain in the ass and is s a waste of time and money.
Someone else mentioned that you can ask a cab driver to take you around but, you are putting your life in your own hands.
Now when I go to Santiago I go see my man Deni. He is a young American guy that is plugged into the network down there. Him and his friend Endy take me around and introduce me to local girls from Santiago who are looking to have fun and are adventurous. These dudes really make it fun.
Now don't get me wrong. They know plenty of Santiago Putas but, they also know girls that have regular jobs and might be looking for husbands. Hell, I even met a virgin at a party they had. (However, if you run into a virgin down there and you are not serious about taking care of her for the rest of her life I would leave her alone.)
Besides doing Santiago they are also plugged into Puerto Plata and Sosua.
So please, stop making it seem as if Santiago is not for mongers. If you want to have a great time there let me know and I will turn you on to my guys and then you can see what Santiago is all about.

I am missing how this makes a report of distinction. Where are the details that can actually be used in meeting the lasses? Contact my buddies and they will hook you up? I have been to Santiago twice, I will be again. The hook up is different (more difficult) than the hold your hand Americanized tourist areas. You know why? Because you have to speak spanish. If you could provide me with local club, chica hang outs, or information that I can grow, learn or evolve with in this dance of life, then I welcome it and look forward to the information that I can actually use.

Has anybody seen this kind of talent in DR?
Just google Miosotis and hit one of the links.
Is she too extraordinary, or just a sample of one might come across in the streets of Dominicana?
Tks

Being that we can not leave email addresses or link or phone numbers I am not sure how I can get you in contact with these guys. They are there and they got the hook up.

Hey buddy negro562,
Your email did not make it. And you are not receiving private messages. Can you do me a favor and send me the email and contact via my private message. I believe I could receive messages.
Do you or anybody know if PC is operational.
Is Alberto's apartahotel chica friendly?
Is it clean(ish)?
Better options for medium-term stay? I would prefer a studio or some like that
thanks
Hi N562,
What's the going rate for your buddy Deny's girls? Went to Santiago back in 03 and would love to hit it again...
[QUOTE=Wet Nose]Hi N562,
What's the going rate for your buddy Deny's girls? Went to Santiago back in 03 and would love to hit it again...[/QUOTE]All depends what you are looking for. They are not his girls per say. They are girls that he knows that need money. The average price seems to range range from $1000 to 2000 pesos. The good thing about these dudes is they know where the girls are all the time. If you want some morning pussy, it can be arranged. Afternoon pussy, it can be arranged. Evening pussy, it can be arranged. Todo Los Noches, it can be arranged. Plus, you can go and party with these guys and pick up your own girls at some of the hottest night spots in Santiago.
N562, Sweet. That's the way I like it. I tried to send you a PM but your PM function is not set up yet. Can you let me know how I can get in touch with your buddy?

Hello everyone,
I want to go to Sosua from the 19th - 21st of January, but I land in Santiago on the 19th. I don't want to wait for a slow but, I'm willing to pay someone to drive me, but I'm concerned about safety and I don't want to overpay the right price for a personal driver.
Does anyone know what this costs and the best way to arrange?

Does anyone know what this costs and the best way to arrange?[/QUOTE]If you are going from Satiago to Sosua the best way to go is catch the Caribe Tours bus. It only costs $100 peso and it drops you off right in Sosua. If you want a driver it will probably cost you $75 to $100 dollars (depending on how good your Spanish is.) Caribe Tours is your best bet.
Is it advisable to make a day trip to Santiago? I fly into Santo Domingo, spend the night there, drive to BBs in Costambar/Puerto Plata the next day. Hope to do Friday evening, night in Sosua, then the BBs Bikini Contest.
Is it worth it to try for a day trip to Santiago? All of the best looking women I've seen in DR are from Santiago, so, I'd like to visit the motherland first-hand. Would a newbie to the area (with appropriate research) be able to score a 9/10 with minimal effort and on probably a 4 hr time crunch? I know the area isn't as plentiful as say, Sosua, but, what are the odds of coming up successful. Possibly even bringing a girl back for the night.
Thanks.

You will nt have the shit harassed out of you every step that you take. However, you can have a really good time here. There are tons of girls doing their thing in Santiago but they are very low key about it. They really try to protect their reputations here.

My schedule is open after February. Since you do not have a PM or email I can arrange a place to meet. I am a interesting person to meet.
My man Negro562 let me do a post. Ha Ha! He is the man. This is DennyDee088 in the flesh (or on the internet to be exact!) and I am on a mission today. I have to sleep with at least five women today. Not tomorrow. Not next week. I have to do them all today. If I don't do it then I have failed.
I have already slept with one. It's 7:53 am right now and I have one down. Didn't cost me a dime. Oops, I failed to add that I will sleep with all these woman and only end up spending $2,000 pesos total. This cost will include gas, if I need to pick someone up, food, because Dominican woman like to eat and drinks because, what is a party if you are not drunk?
Santiago is really live right now. They have the Caribbean baseball series happening. You can drink all night and Carnival is getting set to start. I might sleep with 100 women this month.
DennyDee088, congratulations! Would love to meet up with you and meet your friends. You can PM me, I'd love to visit Santiago again. In my opinion, Santiago is a real gem in the Caribbean and the women are gorgeous!

I was in santiago for the day yesterday and thought I'd share some info.
I found a pretty decent hotel near calle sol (big shopping street) called hotel aloha sol calle de sol #50 tel 809-583-0090 / 581-9203 [url]www.alohasol.com[/url] email:hotelalohasol@codetel.net.do. Prices start at 1,800 for one person 2,149 for 2 people. It looks like a reallly decent hotel. I did not ask about the guest policy so ask before booking.
I was only in town to buy aguilas merchandise at the stadium but I asked a few drivers what the scene was about. I have two numbers to share.
jose luis car #48 829-820-6848. He was showing me a photo of girl on his cell phone that is available for 3,000 pesos. I guess he offers to pimp for you if you want it. He has a wife living in america and goes back and forth quite often.
merido car #33 cel-809-401-1827 This guy took me around to a few baseball stores. I picked his brain for a little bit and he knew of three bars that have chicas for take out. I did not discuss prices.
I do not vouch for either guy since I didn't pick up anyone. I just thought the information would be useful for anyone going into santiago without a clue of where to go.
While I have never been to Santiago, I dated a girl once that was originally from there and she was the best fuck of my life. Was horny 24/7 and couldn't suck my cock enough. Now that's my type of chica!

Going to the bars is not how you do it in santiago and 3, 000 is a lot for a girl here. (it's cool if you want to pay her that but, I wouldn't.) that is illusions and passion's girl prices. The trick to Santiago is to come here and know someone how has a connection with the girls that need money.
I know girls that will introduce girls all day.
I will break down next week and subscribe again so that people can send me pms so we can arrange some stuff. I guess I will hook it up so guys can meet and greet girls here however, you have to take care of the introduction girls so they won't come to me begging. (it is well worth it because the girls they will bring a far better selection than you stand to meet on your own.)
Recently, I had this guy come to town from London. He was staying at a resort in luperon and hadn't been successful in landing any chicas. To make a long story short, I let him come to my place in santiago and had one of my girls bring girls for him to select from. He picked a very nice one and had a great time with her.
I would recommend Hotel Colonial for mongering over Aloha Sol. Aloha Sol caters to a lot of business people and even though they will alow guests, its kind of frowned upon if discretion is not used or the chica looks like one of those Sosua type hookers. Hotel Colonial is clean and more monger friendly with rooms starting at 500 pesos, which includes airconditioning, cable tv and fridge.
Hello,
I am flying into SD in May and am flying back from Santiago. I have never been to Santiago and want to see it and find a nice Chica.
I have met Chicass from Santiago and they are beautiful.
I need the names of nice hotels that are Chca friendly with air and no loss of electricity. I stay at the Courtyard in SD. Anyting in the city like that. Reasonable price and clean.
Can I walk at night to bars to seek chicas?
How long is the trip from SD to Santiago.
I assume the bus is the best way to get there but how much would a car and driver cost?
How far is the Santiago airport from the city? Cab cost?
Any info will be appreciated.

At the gran amirante they have a night club that goes on until 5am and you can even go there and pick up girls. It is pretty centrally located.
I hope this helps you some. Also, if you need girls when you are here do a post and girls are always avaiable.

Actually there is a courtyard hotel in Santiago as well. The busride from Santo Domingo to Santiago takes round about 2 hours depending on the traffic; you can either choose Metro or Caribetours. The ticket price should be round about 150-200 pesos ( 5-6 bucks).
Hey Negro,
I might be going to Santiago in June so send me a PM with your email so we can hookup.
Hi guys,
I am coming to Santiago in a few weeks. Staying at the Courtyard. Will I have to go far to find a chica for afew hours?
Any hanging at the Courtyard or within walking distance from the hotel?
I have no problem speaking no Spanish in SD. Is it easier here without speking Spanish?
If anybody has some ideas, please let me know.
Jay
Coming to Santiago. First 3 days in SD.
I will need a chica for the night before I leave on the 19th.
Will I find it at or near the Marriott Courtyard?
Any hot numbers or where to go?
Thanks in advance.
I have stayed at the Courtyard many times. There is NOTHING at or near the hotel. It is 5 min. from the Airport. There is a Night Club called Passions about 8 min. by Cab where you can pick up many girls. Bar fine and then negoiate the price with the girl. Many of the Taxi drivers can hook you up also. No idea what the bar fine is and the girls are not cheap. I always have arranged a date with girls I know so I may not be of much help. I maybe in the area May 21 to 26. I will be staying at the Gran Alimirante Hotel and Casino. Google search and you will find it. Nice and 5 min. to the center of town and good restaurants. There is a disco and again the Taxi guys can help.

Aloha Sol is another choice for a hotel. It is right in the middle of town.

How much by cab to downtown Santiago? There should be a good cabbie outside the Courtyard. I am sure he can hook me up.
In SD the better hotels have there favorite cabs that are safe.
I will be there the 19th.
Thanks
there is a cab in the hotel parking lot (always) to the right as you exit the hotel. the cabs are always very good quaility and its is 300 to 500 pesos to the monument where there are many nice restaurants. hotel staff are nice and the place has good food. girls need id. room service is not cheap but they will make you and a guest anything you want.
i like the place. lobby has 3 computers with high speed internet.
I just spent a weekend in Santiago at Aloha Sol. I brought my own eye candy with me so I knew I would not be getting anything else while there. From reading 3 or 4 pages of this thread, Santiago seems like a city to stay away from.
Am I missing something?
You brought sand to the beach is what I call that!
Yes, Santiago is different. If you don't have any idea what's going on here you will be left out in the cold. However, if you happen to find out what is happening in Santiago it is a lot better than all the other places.
1.) It's not like Sosua so you won't be hassled to death by broads begging all day and night.
2.) Santiago has everything. Clubs, bars, Girls, girls and girls.
You just need to know how to work Santiago.
If you are here, post and say that you are here and where you going to be and I can alert the girls that you are there and can be an endless stream of girls for you to choose from.
Don't be confused. I have done all the other places and I ended up moving to Santiago because once you are in it is that good.
Also, my friend from here that works Sosua is bringing 10 girls to Sosua to work for some guys she has coming in to town. Now if she can put together 10 girls to go to Sosua to work why shouldn't you be able to see at least 20 to 30 in Santiago?
[QUOTE=Negro562]You brought sand to the beach is what I call that![/QUOTE]
Sorry to inform you Sir, I did not bring sand to the beach as Santiago does not have a beach. I did what I wanted to do, but that is not my question.
There are a few posters making plans to hit Santiago for a day or two. I asked the question what is there to do because I hope the gentlemen would be able to enjoy themselves. From what I have read there is Illusions and Passions, that's it, but everyone agrees they are overpriced.
I did manage to go to Montezuma, Ahi Bar, and Monte Bar. They are not places to pick up putas. I am pretty sure Santiago does not have anything like Classico's or even a bar close to The Piano Bar. If there is why not list five places where a newbie could walk in and in fifteen minutes walk out with a ST puta for 1500 pesos. That is all I am asking.
As a matter of fact if you could find a few recent trip reports of someone who had a great time in Santiago in the last year would help. There is very little, if any, activity on the Santiago Forum so there must be a reason.

The working girls here live with their families and their reputations are more in question here.
You have to understand, the large majority of the girls that are in Sosua working families have no idea what they are doing. Most of them tell their families that they are in Puerto Plata or Santo Dominigo doing other kind of work or going to school. Therefore, when they are in Santiago they do not at like the women act in those tourist towns. However, the girls still are looking for every opportunity to get them some money.
Now to answer one of your questions, "Is there a place where a newbie could go and pick up a ST or TLN in fifteen minutes?" The answer to that question is not really. In Santiago, if you are not going to the Car Washes or the strip clubs you stand a chance in hell of making that happen. Especially if you can't speak spanish. However, there are places that you can go and if you are willing to put in the TIME you can have some success.
If you want to try your luck as a newbie in Santiago I would suggest that you go and do a little gambling in one of the casinos. YOU HAVE TO DO SOME GAMBLING THOUGH. The reason being is the girls that are working the casinos in Santiago are also in there gambling. Hit the tables for a little while and you will see the girl doing their thing. Also, at night in most of the Casinos there are discos. Hit a disco. You might have to buy a couple of rounds but the working girls will show themselves and you can score you a good time.
Now, in a perfect world, the way to work the girls in Santiago is to meet one girl and she will turn you on to all her friends that are working. That is how the people that are having fun here do it. I know four or five girls that know all the girls that are working in Santiago. When my friends come to town I call the girls and they schedule a time and they come by with a selection and you just choose who you want to play with.
Negro562 is giving some great advice for mongers who want to venture into Santiago. Santiago is a regular city and hookers won't approach you in the streets or the bars unless you are in Pasions or the other hooker joints, but they frequent many regular bars, casinos and hang out at the monument. The thing is that Dominicans knows whose a hooker and whose not, so if they're hanging in a bar and want some action, they know who to approach and how to proposition them. Many of the high-class hookers won't travel to Sosua or Boca Chica because their clients are generally upper-class Dominicans and foreign businessmen, so the 1500 pesos is out of the question. Maybe the chicas on Salvador Cucurrullo will charge 1000 or 1500, those are the ones frequented by the concho drivers.
Like Negro said, if you got a hook or know how to speak spanish then mongering in Santiago will be rewarding but other than that, stay in Sosua. That is one of the main reasons why the Santiago thread is pretty dead.
Oh yeah, the Five places to pick up putas. For newbies there are only three: Pasions, Illusions, and Casa Blancas. Even at the car washes, you might need just a little spanish and contact them later when they get off of work.
Go to Las Colinas, directly behind the MonteBar. Lots of the working girls frequent the place when they are home from Sosua although oft times with their Domincan novios or papi chulos. Also try Rancho Meringue.
For all you travelers that are interested in visiting Santiago I have a good deal for you. I know that taxi service here and there could add up and make getting around a real ordeal.
I have a driver that is interested in providing service for visitors. Please PM me if you are interested in more detail.

If I take the bus from SD where does it drop me off?
I was told that Metro Buses are better than Caribe Tours. Is that true?
Will I meet chicas on the bus to enjoy the ride? LOL
Will I get luckey?
If I go to the monument area will I find Chicas there. I read that the Matum Casino is there and is the best casino. Do I hear right?
Thanks for your advise in advance.

The bus from SD drops you off at the bus station. The Metro and Caribe Tours stations are on the same street.
Both buses are about the same. The only difference is the Metro bus tends to play a movie and it costs RD $50 more.
There may be chicas on the bus but you will have to have your spanish speaking skills together but sometimes you can catch one that is interested.
I very seriously doubt you will get luck but hey, stranger things have happened.
If you go to the monument you will find chicas but not really working chicas.
I have been to the Matum Casino and it is nice. However, all the casinos have there cool points. Yes there will be girls at the casinos.
Was in Santiago for 7 days May 15th to May 22nd.
Flew into Santo Domingo as it was $180. 00 USD cheaper and caught the Metro Busline to Santiago. It was 250 pesos going and 260 coming back and I have no Idea why. Bus was very clean with AC Blasting. Sat next to a girl and chatted and got her e-mail for later. She was helping me with photo ideas as we were going past Mountainous scenery.
Stayed at a place called Alberto's Suites for 3500 pesos for the week.
Address is Calle Santomé Esq. (and) Vicente Estrella No. 23 809 971 6005
That's $110. 00 USD for a week. See pics. Couple of girls hangng outside I took as well. Noone I was with just relatives of the hotel workers.
Totally girl friendly with no extra, just chit chat with the guys there and theyll help you with some ideas.
It was without air for that price with a ceiling fan over the bed and that was enough for me. BUT add 100 or so pesos per day with air (and you will need it, I'm unaffected by sweltering heat)
Also put a little' map of the area.
Yellow dot w/ red center is Alberto's Suites.
Red dot w/ yellow center is McDonalds.
Purple dot w/white center is Internet/Phone center 5 pesos (Ē. 14) for a quick e-mail check/Phone about 60 pesos ($1. 70) for 3 minutes.
White dot w/ green center is Tony's gym (100 pesos daily but no fancy or new equipment. Gold's gym is at Plaza Internacional for 250 pesos daily very modern with HOT, FIT Dominicanas, No flabby guts and lots of spinners)
Light Blue dots w/ black center are Restaurants that were good and fairly priced.
The red Monopoly House shaped bldg. With 12 in it is the Hodelpa Centro Plaza (about $105. 00 USD and up a night) The one with 10 in it is the Aloha del Sol (about 1679 pesos and up per night) both great stays if you want more amenities.
Most taxistas should take you to most parts of Santiago for 100 to 150 pesos.
Conchos where you get in with up to 6 more people are 12 pesos and up.
Motos (moto-cycles) are negotioable 100 pesos in a cab is 40-50 pesos on a moto. (not for the faint of heart)
Santiago / La Vega / Moca ALL have hot girls that can be had if you are a spanish speaker with some time to spend. The girls in BBs bikini contest PALE in comparison to MOST of Santiagos regular women.
Light Skinned spinners in one of Santiagos many Universities at all hours, Caramel Cuties with naturally long hair and round booty, Dark skinned big butt thick chics with tits. ALL available and open to gringo love.
Met an American at Plaza Internacional after working out at Golds. He said he didnt speak much Spanish and was on his way to PP for P4P. (He said his car rental was $265. 00 for the five days) We walked around the mall and I spoke to most of the girls working just to demonstrate how friendly they are and MORE when you can communicate.
If a Dominican girl is not in a committed relationship she IS available.
A kind word will net you a smile, a kind Spanish word will net you a date. Then its just chemistry and timing. YMMV but IMO I think you can be intimately close in 3 days or DATES.
1 day/date to meet and chat, 2nd day/date to wine and dine, 3rd invite to hang in and watch a movie on your laptop and thats when you may or may not get laid but if you have self confidence and game its no big deal.
These girls really just like the difference in attitude with foreigners. Dominican guys are used to them and MOST treat them very "dime a dozen-ish".
Spend time in Santiago and youll really understand why.
Girls will give up their phone numbers in a heartbeat. Right off of the street. Just the "hello, whats your name, can I see you again blah blah".
Many will want you to meet someone close to them like Family or friends BEFORE they stay the night at your place, they want to feel safe too.
Many are Gold-diggers with the American Dream in mind.
Many are just down to earth and sincere and want nothing more than love and affection.
I went to La Pasions one night just to have the experience, 2500 pesos on site 45 minutes. 3000 pesos 2 hours at your place (tapped a shorty named Claribel BBBJ/CFS/Multiple positions, told her it had been a while. Got back to the hotel and trounced her for 45 minutes. She kept asking for my leche and I was cracking up because we were having a serious workout.
She was like "I thought you were gonna be quick Papi". So I pulled off my condom and told her to suck it. She was trying to appear like a porn chic teasing with her tongue and talking trash. I told her I was about to come so she moves back a little but has her tongue hanging out trying to look sexy.
The first squirt of my load went RIGHT down the pipes. She was gagging and fussing and I was cracking up. She washes up and starts getting dressed I said "Hey that was only one hour" she says " No were gonna cuddle cuz my taxi takes a while plus you said you were gonna be quick". I said " you wanna go make some more money huh? " and she was like Yes papi its still early. Taxi shows up 10 minutes later and I dont even trip.
Now that I know their hustle Ill act accordingly.
Truth is Im not a DR Mongerer by definition. I meet regular girls and put the time in for future engagements. This was my 4th time in Santiago in 8 months and Ive made some sexy acquaintances. I feel the same way about Barranquilla its AWESOME if you speak Spanish. You dont have to p4p unless you have downtime from regular chics.
Ill go to La Pasions again on a desperate night but I more enjoy a regular girl after dinner and a movie. The sex isnt always pornographic at first but they are willing to learn because they culturally aim to please their man.
I enjoy p4p as well but I will reiterate that Santiago and many other cities in the DR have Model level women available for relationships if this is your style and you have a lil time.
Happy Mongering, GFE-ing and whatever other ing you enjoy Fellas.
Does anyone know if Hotel Platino is girl friendly?
Yes, its girl friendly.

You have no chance to meet a decent girl anywhere in santiago. The upper class girls are not looking for a foreigner. They are happy with their own SUVs.
These girls are not going out with some guy who is staying in some local hotel and driving around town in taxis.
You have to live here, having a successful business or a good job to be even considered by these girls.
These girls are constantly invited by rich handsome guys who own late model SUVs and live in very nice neighourhoods.
You met who everybody meets who is going to stay a week in Santiago barrio girls or semi hookers.
Berthold,
I'm not new to traveling, mongering or dating. I'm not walking around with some huge ego either. And I don't know you from Adam but I'm not too keen on being told I'm inaccurate. If where I stayed mattered I would have posted that.
If what I had mattered I would have posted that as well.
Truth is I have been with all levels of girls from Camp David to La Joya and I know more about Santiago than I can leave in a post.
If you've had bad experiences I understand but don't crap on mine because those girls in SUV's look NO better than the girls who ride in taxistas or conchos or on the back of a moto. Neither are those SUV girls unapproachable. Thats a JADED perspective and I havent been treated like that AT ALL.
I have been to different barrios and have Dominican dudes I trust who can find me easy chicas too if and when I want. My first trip to the DR was on the advice of two Dominican brothers that live near me here in the states. They hooked me up with their relatives so that I was able to jump in feet first RIGHT AWAY.
I know genuine virgins who are very protected by their parents waiting for my return. Of course they desire that I treat their daughters with respect and I intend to but I have no disillusionment with me. There is a lil bit of work involved.
I also know gold-diggers who report on their stupid Euro or American gringo cash cows.
There are girls who could be in videos working in La Sirena who could care LESS about an SUV.
When I'm in a new barrio NOONE has a clue that I'm not Dominican UNTIL AFTER we have a conversation and they notice my accent is a little different. Even then they think I have a Dominican parent or something. I can pass for Dominican and even when I lived in NYC I lived in Washington Heights which is 78% or more Dominican. THEY couldnt tell just by looking at me either.
I carry myself with respect and I pay attention to what's cool and what's not cool. I blend in and learn some cultural nuances. I make friends VERY easily because I'm sincere and not in the DR just to look for the next set of spread legs. I just like the place. The women are a bonus.
I want to ENCOURAGE men who want to meet available women who are not even CLOSE to being hookers to FIRST learn decent Spanish and then just GO to one of the many universities and strike up a conversation. You will be rewarded in time with a girl that will look out for your MIND, Body and Soul.
There are PLENTY of MARRIED Ex-pats in the DR who are a testament to their being available women in ALL parts of the DR. I just have an affinity for Santiago/La Vega.
Women are women worldwide. And I have had women in Thailand, Norway, Mexico, Canada, The Philippines, Japan, Kazakhstan, Singapore, Colombia and all throughout the US.
Dominican girls can be very jealous if you are sloppy so I treat them like they are ALL my one and only.
I show my trip photos to my friends and they are WOWED by how beautiful these girls are COUPLED with the tales I have of how COOL they are. I dont show regular girls Im dealing with on this forum because there are some weirdos with weird habits on here. Stealing photos and making up stories etc. Ive seen this stuff OFTEN in these forums. I come here to enjoy what others have experienced and dont have a negative word to say to anyone UNLESS provoked.
I stated in another post that I am new to POSTING but not to the experience.
I've read ALMOST ALL of the Colombia, Brazil and DR forums. Back to 2004 for all of them, both for their city reports and photo galleries. DR because I've been, Colombia because I've been and Brazil because I want to go. I have noticed however that there are guys who like to chirp in unnecessarily with some unmerited and uninvited opinion that doesnt add to the truth but only draws an ugly picture. The DR is not ugly when you are invited around.
I've noticed the community is full of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. So I dont take personally that you felt the need to voice YOUR view on things, but I want to set MY PERSONAL record straight and I LOVE the DR and I ENJOYED Barranquilla in spite of the reports of others.
Flaming on how much guys spend when it's their money. Or the silly argument of driving up prices. Or showing/ not showing faces. Or Barebacking. I wish you naysayers would mind your own business as Everyones experience is going to be different depending on MANY factors. Rich or Poor. Handsome or Shrek-like. Fluent or walking with a pocket translator. I've sat at more than one dinner and talked about cultural differences and in my estimation the biggest Snafu foreigners make is that your money or status matters to EVERYONE.
You can't buy ALL of these girls but they will love you if you are genuine.
They do not ALL seek the sex trade as a means. Have you ever REALLY looked at how neat they are in their various uniforms. McDonalds or wherever they work at the Plaza or elsewhere, they are PROUD of their jobs and CONTENT with living their lives IN the DR. They don't need some arrogant foreigner who thinks he's doing them a favor by taking them OUT of the DR to sit in a half million-dollar house BORED to death.
YMMV and mine has been VERY rewarding so the whole "get real" thing was unnecessary. I usually ignore this kind of stuff especially from veteran mongerers but simply put. YOU dont know a thing about MY experiences so keep your comments to yourself. If Santiago is not for you do YOUR thing, but dont flame in my direction because I only wish for you and the other guys here to have a good time doing things in their own way without petty criticism from one another.
I am posting pics of 2 different girls and I at different times. The girl in the denim skirt is in school for Hotel Administration and the girl in the white has her own Beauty Salon. NEITHER has hooked a day in their lives with HUGE families that know all their business. I stayed at the Hodelpa Centro Plaza with the girl in the denim skirt and at the Hodelpa Gran Almirante with the girl in white. So I dont HAVE to stay cheap but what difference does it make if Im having just as much fun in a low budget place. If you KNOW Santiago you can look in the pics and know that I was genuinely there because I cant fake the Aguilas Memorial.
I will reiterate that Santiago is a GOLD MINE for a HUGE variety of looks and vibes but the Universal law stands true that YourMileageMayVary!
Happy Mongering to each and everyone.

Well no flaming intended i simply disagree with your statement that when a dominican girl is not in a comitted realationship she is available. Girls from middle class or upper class families are simply not interested in a gringo or a tourist who just shows up for a week. From my experience ( i live and work in santo domingo) any woman that is worthwile won`t hitch up with you in a week no matter if you are fluent in spanish, handsome...
Tits and toes
In general, that was a great post.
I enjoyed the overall point you were trying to make in regards to unnecessary flaming (not saying berthold was doing this) on forums. And meeting non pros in DR.
I also find that Dominican women are VERY easy going compared to others once you sit, chat with them and treat them well.
[QUOTE=Negro562]The reason is Santiago does not work like that. The working girls here live with their families and their reputations are more in question here.
You have to understand, the large majority of the girls that are in Sosua working families have no idea what they are doing. Most of them tell their families that they are in Puerto Plata or Santo Dominigo doing other kind of work or going to school. Therefore, when they are in Santiago they do not at like the women act in those tourist towns. However, the girls still are looking for every opportunity to get them some money.
Now to answer one of your questions, "Is there a place where a newbie could go and pick up a ST or TLN in fifteen minutes?" The answer to that question is not really. In Santiago, if you are not going to the Car Washes or the strip clubs you stand a chance in hell of making that happen. Especially if you can't speak spanish. However, there are places that you can go and if you are willing to put in the TIME you can have some success.
If you want to try your luck as a newbie in Santiago I would suggest that you go and do a little gambling in one of the casinos. YOU HAVE TO DO SOME GAMBLING THOUGH. The reason being is the girls that are working the casinos in Santiago are also in there gambling. Hit the tables for a little while and you will see the girl doing their thing. Also, at night in most of the Casinos there are discos. Hit a disco. You might have to buy a couple of rounds but the working girls will show themselves and you can score you a good time.
Now, in a perfect world, the way to work the girls in Santiago is to meet one girl and she will turn you on to all her friends that are working. That is how the people that are having fun here do it. I know four or five girls that know all the girls that are working in Santiago. When my friends come to town I call the girls and they schedule a time and they come by with a selection and you just choose who you want to play with.[/QUOTE]"You have to understand, the large majority of the girls that are in Sosua working families have no idea what they are doing. "
I am surprised someone like you who lives there would say something like this. Is is total BS. You think dominicans are stupid. They know exactly whats going on. The young pretty daughter, sister, gf, wife goes "away" for school, work, etc then comes back with wads of cash. The family takes the money and the girl goes out again. The family put pressure on the girls to take care of the family. Don't be fooled by young sweet dominican girls. There are very smart and great actors. For the majority its all for the family. I respect it. Yet I always know where I stand. Ever meet a nice DR girl that asks for less each time you see her.

Yes I have. Let me clear something up for you partner. You will never be exposed to the DR the way that i am. I see a lot more of what is going on here than you. I know what I am talking about because I know people from all walks of life here. I know the rich rich to the poor poor and what I am saying is what is happening here.
Now, maybe because you have visited the DR a few times you believe you know what you are talking about but, let me assure you, you are being mislead. Some of these girls are out here doing there thing and lying to people about it.
Please explain to me how a woman looks her child in the tens and tells him that she just sucked ten dicks to buy him the new air jordans?
No, as far as thinking Dominicans are stupid, I never said that. If I believed they were so dumb I am pretty sure I would not be living here. I am sorry that we believe differently but hey, this is life. We can do that.
The Latin American saying "eyes donīt see, hearts donīt feel" (sounds better in Spanish), doesnīt only apply to wives who as long as their husbandīs extra curricular activities arenīt in their faces tend to pretend that nothing is happening can also be related to families with girls who are doing P4P in another town. They know whatīs going on, but would never admit or speak about it.

They know whatīs going on, but would never admit or speak about it.[/QUOTE]Seems to me you guys are both right. Many women, anywhere in the world, are looking to get more (emotionally/economically) from a man as the relationship progresses. Just like many men are looking to get more (sexually/emotionally) as the relationship progresses. There are exceptions as Negro points out, esp. when a woman is not motivated by the short-term to be as aggressive as she is when she has a foreigner that is only in town for two weeks/two months at a time.
David is correct, most women who do sex work wouldn't broadcast that fact. Even Elliott Spitzer's jump-off didn't tell her family how she could afford that fab lifestyle. So even though a woman may not be telling the 10 y.o. "sweety mommy sucked dick like a champ to get you these Air Jordans," grandma probably figured out that being a hairdresser/hotel waitress is not paying $800-1000 USD per week in the DR. But "ask me no questions, I tell you no lies."
Guys I hope I could get a little help. I am not a NEWBIE to this site, in fact I have been a member since 2004, at that time Jackson needed to upgrade the server and split the USA site from the International site. I in turn lost my original name, I am a senior member on the USA site, my name there is Member # 2970.
I have been trolling around Chicago for over 25 years, I have actually seen the action almost disappear over here, but I was able to hang on to a couple of good regulars while in between girlfriends.
I have read the Santiago thread and pretty much see that there is not much obvious action with the exception of a couple of clubs and the carwashes, that's fine because I made friends with some attractive ladies through the web who all live in or around Santiago, hopefully I will get in some P4P during some dry time with these girls, I anticipate some down time.
Tit N Toes, I read that you were at the Holdelpa Gran Almirante, how girl friendly are they? Are there an ok presence of working girls around the casino? I realize that the place is pricey, but would you stay there again? Keep in mind this is my first trip down there.
If anyone else can give me some pointers I would appreciate it. I am looking foward to contributing to this thread when I get back home.
Thanks!
Girl Hunter Sorry for the Delay... (I always start with IMHO and YMMV but here's MY take on the HODELPA'S)
Centro Plaza is on El Sol a few blocks south of the Monumento de Restauracion (maybe 8 or 9 blocks)
Prices are between $98.00 USD to $145.00 (more for a Large Suite) depending on HOW you book, WHEN etc. Rooms have AC/HW/Mini bar-fridge that you get a key for with no charge (unless you lose it).
I brought in the SAME girl for 3 days in and out without a second look.
I saw Gringos with (and this is not a Dis but most guys will understand) More PRO looking girls (HEAVY makeup, Scantily clad etc) but I didn't see them hassled either.
Gran Almirante I stayed there twice...Enjoyed both times...There is/was construction of what I think is going to be a "FRIDAY'S" next door so I think the area is coming up.
Rooms are $118.00 to $3-400 for top suites with concierge service...I stayed 2 different times for around $140.00 usd. Breakfast is good and they'll SOMETIMES give you vouchers but you have to INSIST when you book.
The Casino has PROS that mill about and gamble...just strike up a conversation after you observe eye contact and body language OR someone dressed like (come F*ck me)...There is always a Security guy at the door that leads from Casino to Inside the Hotel (at the Restaurant side) and I don't know if they'll let you through with a PRO...but if you get to know the DESK people...I think it would be better to walk out of the Casino STREET exit and then back into the main lobby, give a lil' wave to the desk and be on your way.
One night a female Mgr on Duty made me come down to get my girl who I had been with for more than one day...I came down and asked her why and she "claimed" that the FLOOR security guys wouldn't have let her up...Who Knows...but I haven't had any MAJOR problems.
I'm actually curious as to what would happen if you showed up with a different PRO nightly...
I would stay at The Gran Almirante AND Centro Plaza again...BUT as I previously posted I found some MEAGER (3500 DOP a week accomadations and no longer WANT to spend $140-160 usd when I can get along with Hot water/a bed and not much else...lol)
I actually like Blackjack 21 and do visit the Gran Almirante everytime I'm there...he ganado cada vez.
I said YMMV in ALL of these matters AND I'm a Santiago OPTIMIST so because I found cool stuff it's hard to EVER have a bad word to say...it's my personality as well but the girls and experiences have been VERY positive for me.
If your into fitness there is a gym nearby (you could actually walk if you wanted 10-15 minutes) Golds is in Centro Plaza for 250 dop a day (which strangely enough is nowhere near DOWNTOWN centro)
McDonalds and KFC are within walking distance and a Grocery Store for regular supplies.
If your Spanish is decent you'll have a ball, adopt a taxista (meaning use the same one every trip) and you may get extra info/tips...they all line up on the Casino Side of the Hotel.
Enjoy, Be smart, Be safe!

I agree 100% with the report and will add my recent experiences at the same Hotel. Fridays is open. There is a nice gym at the Hotel just behind the pool. I have stayed three times in th past four months for several days. The first two trips I was with the same girl for a few days. I was on the 5th floor "Club" level key access etc. No problems, they check the girls ID and all was great. As to the cost for this floor it is not cheap and it is not worth the extra money.
I love the Hotel over all and will go back. I did run into a little problem on my last trip in May. Same floor etc. but after two nights I changed girls for the next two nights. Went to sign her in and was told that there was a new policy that you could not change names (girls) etc. and be on this floor. I was pissed! For what I was paying I should be able to have an orgy if I wanted. I calmed down and said no problem I understand. I said I wanted to check out now 4 nights early and that I was going to the Marriott. I was asked to please wait. In 5 min. the Manager was there. She explained the new policy....and I explained I was leaving. She said she had a Jr. Suit on the 3rd floor that I would like, was cheaper and she would show me the room to see if I liked it. I did not problem.
During my stay I never had a problem during the day with security. At night I was stopped a couple of times so they could check the girls ID to see that she was registered to my room etc. I should also add that the girls were always dressed up and they did not stand out from any of the other guests there. No heavy make up etc. I stayed for two more nights with the girl I had arranged and then checked out and went to the Marriott.
I went to the Marriott and stayed in the Presidential Suite (the only suite they have) because I had scheduled two girls for the last two nights and did not want any problems with checking them in etc. I have stayed at the Marriott 8 or more times in the past 18 months and know most of the staff and like the place. I have changed girls there daily before. They make a copy of the girls ID I sign saying I am responsible etc.
In my experience if you and your lady friend(s) are quiet, respectfull and dressed well you will decrease the odds of having any problems.
I will be returning to Santiago in late July (25th) for 3-4 days and 7-8 days at Blackbeards.
Thanks a whole lot for the information. I tried to send you a PM with my questions, however I dont believe you have that function working.
The PRO action in the casino is encouraging, kind of like a little built in candy shop, which will be needed because I dont thinks that these normal girls will hit the sack on a first date. As far as a regular girl it is my intention and maybe just a dream to actually settle down with somebody.
I have no intentions of hurting anybody in anyway. It's hard to get a clear reading on these girls because they seem to be possesive.I am a grown man and I am realistic. I do realize that they want an opportunity to expand there lives however the girls that I am talking with are genuinely sweet people, I dont think it's all an act.
You are correct that the key with the ladies is a knowledge of Spanish, mine is OK at best, although it has gotten better since my steady communication began. I'm actually honing my language skills with some private tudoring now before I arrive later this month.
Everything is pointing towards the presence of nice, sweet, sexy, educated normal girls in Santiago, if that is what you are looking for I have a good feeling it's the place to check out. I do know that this board is mostly geared toward P4P, so to those I do apologize for going on and on about this subject.
If nobody opposes I will post both my PRO and NON-PRO experiences once I get back.
Thanks!
[QUOTE=Negro562]Yes I have. Let me clear something up for you partner. You will never be exposed to the DR the way that i am. I see a lot more of what is going on here than you. I know what I am talking about because I know people from all walks of life here. I know the rich rich to the poor poor and what I am saying is what is happening here.
Now, maybe because you have visited the DR a few times you believe you know what you are talking about but, let me assure you, you are being mislead. Some of these girls are out here doing there thing and lying to people about it.
Please explain to me how a woman looks her child in the tens and tells him that she just sucked ten dicks to buy him the new air jordans?
No, as far as thinking Dominicans are stupid, I never said that. If I believed they were so dumb I am pretty sure I would not be living here. I am sorry that we believe differently but hey, this is life. We can do that.[/QUOTE]Who says you have been exposed to the DR more than me? I do not base my responses on a "few trips". Who says you see a lot more than me. You know whats happening. Sure. Keep believing that. Being misled. We all are. You. Me and everyone else. Does not mean its bad. No. As long as the game is understood. Air jordans. What year are you in? Try IPODS, PC's, PDA, s, cell phones.
A dominican mother would never tell her child anything like that. I never said that. Dominican women take care of all the children. I respect them.
I never said that the girls were not out there doing it and lieing to people.
What I am saying is everyone knows. Everyone knows. Just like like the girls know your a pimp. You get $$. They get $$. Your NOT doing this to help your fellow gringo. Without getting paid. Or either are your "girls".
Thanks much for your input, it is very appreciated! I booked last night and the rate was $140.00 per night. I tried to get the breakfast vouchers like Tits N Toes suggested, but they said it was some sort of promo they were running, I try for again when I get there.
I know it's expensive but I will look around for something more reasonable for future trips.
Thanks again!

Unfortunately, you have me confused with someone else. I am not pimping anyone. I know the women need money and I am willing to guide them to where the money is. I have no interest in this personally at all.
Also, since you feel the need to label me as something that I am not, I am not going to help anyone with anything. Go find your own pussy!
I love Santiago and have always set things up in advance with girls I know and have them meet me there. I will say I have yet to meet a Taxi driver that could not set me up or at least point me in the right direction to find what I wanted. Several have asked me and never asked for any kind of a tip etc. I assume that you are trying to do the same thing. If you know some girls that are working or need to make a few extra dollars.....it seems very possible to me that you are....you are doing nothing more than the Taxi driver whom is just offering to help. When I first started to go to the DR I was not just wet behind the ears I was dripping. I meet a veteran...perhaps like yourself...who took me under his wing and helped to show me the way. If that is what you are doing....I say thank you and I may PM you in the future for advice.
I will be in Santiago this week for three days, and I need a taxi driver to take me out of town for work. Of course, I am looking for one who is not only honest, but is good at scouting up non-pro talent in the small towns I am likely to pass through on my way to the city of Dajabon.
Please post or PM any names or connections you might have. Any advice on Dajabon would also be appreciated, as there is little posted. Thanks F
Dajabon is 5 to 6 hours away outside of Monte Criste its no mans land for a long borring endless ride bring plenty of beer the only thing you will see is goats which are very tasty.
I have a trip planned to DR over the New Years holiday. I'm arriving Santiago the 30th, and plan to stay there for a couple of nights, both to rest up from the long trip from the west coast and to avoid too much travel hassels over the holiday. After that intend to spend several nights in Sosua, before returning on the 7th to USA.
Is the New Year a big deal in DR? Will the pros be on holiday, or will they be working?
I am low key, not a party animal but enjoy a fun time. At 57, although I am in good shape, I don't kid myself about being a player for the young women. So I stick to the P4P action, but do enjoy treating the right woman to a nice encounter (i.e. dinner, dance, etc. if she is in to it). Because my time is limited, does anyone have any suggestions for how to meet women in Santiago that would be available?
I speak okay Espanol, and always try to learn about the places I visit like a tourist in addition to the time spent with the ladies.
This is my first trip to DR, most of my travel has been in SA.
Thanks for any ideas.
I will be in the DR for three weeks starting Oct. 14. I hadn't planned to stay in Santiago very long but this thread makes it sound interesting! I need to read a lot more posts and then I'll have a few questions. I hope someone out there can help me.
Negro, your posts have been great. I hope you have not disappeared from this board.
Hey guys, I have been to Santo Domingo many times within the last 3 years but I have never been to Santiago before. I am limited in my spanish but seem to do well along the Conde. I am traveling there this december for 28 days and want to give Santiago a try. Question?? Is there an area in Santiago similiar to El Conde in Santo Domingo ??? What is the best side of town to stay ??? Are the ladies as easy as in SD ?? Any suggestions??
Thanks Lew

Coming to Santiago in January. I'm having a difficult time finding a hotel in the $50-$60 range. Also, looiing for chicas between 1500-2000. I'm going to be there for 2 nights and on a budget.
Does anyone know of a really nice apartment / villa for rent in Santiago?
I'm looking for a safe reasonable priced villa or apartment close to passons

How long are you intending to stay in Santiago?
Anyone stay at the Hotel Colonial in Santiago?
Are they chica friendly and near the acton?
I've stayed there since the flights stopped to santiago by continental. It is very chica friendly, but it is a touch and go day to day. For one thing spanish is a must if you wish to go into the enviornment of the locals. They don't know you exist! Women won't speak to you on the street [most]. You'll have to do some "leg"work to find where to go. I know sundays are good at the monument within walking distance. I usually travel alone coming or going and unless I've had company with me It was hard to find a "friend" in a short time.
For me it was sometimes unconfortable to move thru areas with large amounts of people and minimal grasp of the language. The hotel is very accommodating but discretion is the rule.
My Spanish is fair to good, but I'm wondering what you mean by " to go into the environment of the locals? If there are chicas out for $$, then I would think they woul know you existed. I'm wondering if you didn't attempt to talk to them due to your lack of Spanish. Also, did you have any luch at all?

Try Hotel Matum. There's a casino on site and a 5 minute walk to the monument. Chica friendly for about $60-65/night including taxes.

[QUOTE=Fuddzie]I've discovered there are many monuments in Santiago, which one is where the acton is?[/QUOTE]Google in images: The Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration. You will a bunch of photos of the main monument in Santiago. Big tall white monument, it is a landmark in Santiago. The monument has a grassy park around it and roads run along the sides. Across the street from one part of the monument is Montezuma Bar, big bar, lots of tables and chairs. I sometimes have chicas meet me there, because it is a recognized easily found place and I know from experience that most dominican chicas will be late, so at least I can drink a beer while I wait. I was in that bar twice, but early in the day. One time I saw two cute young chicas in there, making eye contact with me. Not sure if they were working girls or not. Not sure how it is at night. Near Bar Montezuma is another large bar, I don't recall the name and never went into it. There is another outdoor cafe a few blocks from Montezuma Bar, that also faces the monument. It had written on the glass something about smoking being prejudicial to your health. It was a cute place, smaller than Bar Montezuma. Near the monument is also a casino which I never visited. I visited the hotel el gran almirante a few times, rooms are expensive. The tapas restaurant in this hotel was good. I saw a few good looking chicas strolling in and out of the casino there.
A real light skin wealthy chica in Santiago told me she likes this bar/club called Moma in Santiago. I never visited Moma, but that could be a good place to see pretty chicas.
I took a short trip to the DR to start out 2009. I spent 3 nights in Santiago and 5 nights in Sosua. Santiago was a complete bust for me I stayed in a nice hotel, but could not get any action. The doorman at the hotel said he could fix me up for a minimum of $100 sight unseen. I also got an offer from a cabbie (for his cousin? ! ) at $100 plus, also sight unseen. I dont do the sight unseen routine any more, and for some reason, paying $100 just didnt feel right in a country where an excellent salary is $800/month, so I declined both offers.
On the streets, people were very friendly, but not a single woman gave me so much as a flirt, which was kind of depressing. I spoke to several expats in town and they told me once you get past a certain point, you can do all right in Santiago, but I never got any traction. I dont frequent the late night bars, so I cant speak to that scene.
In Sosua, I enjoyed a different lady every night, no problem. See my report in that section.

Well this is not encouraging.
I read into the previous posts and they infered that you had to be connected in some way or be there long enough to make traction with the in-crowd. I have been trying to make contact with girls on my own via googled-up date sites and things are much too slow for my comfort.
So that all my eggs are not in one basket, I also PM Negro below but it seems he has not been around. This will suck if I have to go into passion to pay top dollar. I wonder if La Vega is any better....
Don't be discouraged. Say , Travel Fun . Did you make rounds to all the little bars/cantina type places?
I came to Santiago on the Caribe tours bus, 120Pesos from Sosua. I got to say this trip had more down moments than up moments. I left my phone on the bus and some guy from Santa Domingo picked it up, and it has been hell trying to get it back. My wingman and I used half the night trying to tracking it down. We got the help of our taxi driver to convince him to return it after he was resistant in the beginning wanting to give it back. I still havent got my phone in hand but the driver was pretty sure he would be able to get it.
What was left of the evening, our driver took us to a Car Wash where he said there was quality girls. Since I have never been to a CW I wanted to see what it was all about.
The CW was called La Colonial. My description of this place was an outdoor patio disco. The girls that came there all seemed to be connected to boy friends. The ho Girls are the ones working as waitresses. There was one girl working that I can honestly say was a 10 in the face. Here body was also excellent. I could see some guys giving that a 10 also. Problem was she was very very slow upstairs. I tried talking to her, so did my wingman and we concluded her personality was like a 10 year old girl. I felt bad for her but what could you do? There were very few girls there that were to our liking and to be honest neither I nor my wingman were very clear with the system protocal. We were uncomfortable enough trying something there that we decided to pull roots for something more sure like Passions.
We invited the driver to come in to the club with us and he was all to happy to oblige. Passions was kicking. They had a very entertaining show they put on . A few girls got up and stripped. Then a short skit act from a group of guys dressed up as girls. A few more girls followed with stripteases. After, there was dancing with the ho of your choice. There were lots of girls grabbing you on the way to the bathroom. There were a few that interested me but now it was 3am. We were all tired and preferred to call it a night.
We also looked over the Matum casino earlier at about 10pm but did not detect any unattached girls there playing slots as an example.
Well, I tried to make contacts before arriving but the loss of my phone shot that all to hell. My conclusion is that if you dont know somebody in the scene most everyone will have a rough go at it. Even some of the contacts I made here did not pan out.
Carnival was being set up the on Sunday morning and we saw some of it. I got bored easily and left for the hotel to do some writing. The taxi drivers here sure try to pump you for the most they can, unless one befriends you.
Lets see if I cant get anything going tonight
By the way. I thought I should warn you guys here.
When I met my wingman it was at Hotel Colonial. I had a look at the rooms and I was far from impressed. Getting to the point that is one of the biggest dumps I have come across yet. My wingman was kind of pissed because of recommendations he got on other boards for the place and how one guy ranted and raved about it.
He saw my place at Matum hotel and wanted to change right away.
I would be embarrassed bringing any ho to the Colonial Even a $10 ho I would not mess with in there. Imagine 4 scuffed up walls in a 8ftx8ft jail cell room not having been painted in 10 years. Two single beds with 2 feet walkway between them having yellowed sheets that look like the kids grew up with.
It is true you get what you pay for.

I've never scouted Santiago but I've heard that some of the bars around the Monument have some girls. I'm really interested in your reports on this city.
Just a follow up to Fuddzie and Ehunter on hotels in Santiago. Yes, the Colonial is a dump, and the Aloha is dead as far as hunting is concerned, always had good luck with the Gran Almirante and Matum picking up a chica. But, IMHO, nothing beats the Platino for a clean, cheap (about $50-60 a night, and chica friendly hotel. Chica friendly is they don't ask for ID or charge for guests. Also the Platino is close to the two mentioned casino and if you play the nickel slots, a 1000 peso pail will last about 3 hours on a losing streak. So, for about $30, where can you spend time, check out the scene, and wait for the elusive chica to catch your attention?
Happy hunting. Le Mons.
Deadpan
Sorry to say, Santiago was a bust.
I tried to get to Illusions during the day, at 3pm, and it was closed. The taxi driver wanted to try another place and I asked him if he was sure it was open. Yes he was sure. Then I told him ok but if it is closed all the risk is on you. Then he back peddles and laughs and calls his buddy over the radio. The radio guys said it was open. But once he understood it was a free ride by assuming the risk he folded like a wet paper bag. I dont need the fair run up on me and I suppose he laughed because he did not blame me.
It rained for the most part of the day so there was not much I could do. In the evening I did not want to cab around in the rain so I went next door to the Matum Casino. Lots of hot girls in there except all of them are casino employees. Nothing but pudgy girls playing slots that did not interest me. There was a band playing with all the middle agers dancing it up. After 2 hours I called it quits.
The girls I made contact with earlier did not want to go out in the rain. I also must say they roll up the sidewalks pretty early in this town.
So all in all it was a bust. back to Sosua.
I have been in the Punta Cana Area for a very long time, and I myself have brought clients to drnights, this is a 5 star establishment, and very reputable in the Punta Cana area, They also provide local services in the santiago and santo domingo areas. They are pricey, I must admit, which may be the reason Naked Fun might have his panties in a bunch, But I would say it is well worth it, since they provide the total package including armed security, and in the DR a little secuirty doesn't hurt.
I am at the el gran almirante hotel. Nice pool, chica friendly to a degree. When I checked in I asked if I could bring in friends. I was told I could bring one guest to the room and two guests to the pool.
This morning around 5:30am, I had sex with a 19 year old that I met online. I drove her home this morning (sunday morning), Saturday it rained. Friday was my first day her. I left santo domingo Friday morning, stopped in Bonao, got a blowjob from a chica I know in Bonao, the cabana in Bonao cost 500 pesos. I then drove to La Vega, where I visited another chica for an hour, no sex, met the girl's father, mother and aunts, no problem. I then drove to santiago, some chica I know from online came over to the meet me in front of the el gran almirante. I could not remember what this chica looked like. When I met her, she was kind of big. We went to the Friday's restaurant, I ate, she ordered nothing. I really just wanted to get rid of her. I told her that I had to do some work on my computer in my room and that I would have to say goodnight, I walked her over to a taxi near the casino, gave her 200 pesos taxi fare and said adios.
I then called a big titty chica I met online. She said that she could meet me in an hour. She arrived at the front of the hotel around 9:45pm, I told her that would meet her at the bar where she going in an hour, that I had to do work on my computer. She was in a car and her friend was driving. The friend had big tits that were just popping out. Earlier I had called another chica that I know in Santiago, a chica who I met in person about 8 months ago, for an hour and never had sex with her. The big titty chica drove away and then I called the other chica who arrived about 15 minutes later. I told her that I wanted to talk with her in a quiet tranquil place (cabana hahaha), I drove with her over to the monument, parked the car near a bar and kind of gave her the message that what i really wanted was to go a cabana, she said lets go.
She took me to Horus cabana, when you drive into the Cabanas, the most expensive rooms are usually closest to the entrance. In Bonao the first rooms were called presidential. I chose a room called sencilla in bonao. In Horus Cabana, the first ones I believe where called ejecutivo, the next one I encountered was called fantasy, I drove into the garage of the fantasy room. Laid on the bed, the phone rings, i ordered a small coca cola, a few minutes later you her a short buzz and I walked over to the small revolving compartment, where there was a bill (just about every place here gives you the bill in a black folding portfolio type thingy). Small bucket of ice with the soda. This room had a jacuzzi near the bed. The cost was around 900 pesos. Last time I was in santiago I used Bora Bora cabana, I prefer the room at Bora Bora.
Friday night I visited Overlook bar where hermanos rosario performed. I took a picture with rafa rosario. Another brother Rosario, the tall bald headed one was dancing with the friend of my chica. The chicas love dancing when those guys sing. I danced my ass off. Drove my chica home, she invited me in to her house, where I met her mother and sister and brother at 4 am. I then had to figure out how to get back to my hotel. I paid some taxi driver 150 pesos, so that I could follow him in my car back to the hotel.
Last night went to rancho tipico las colinas, fun place, some merengue band from south america performed there. Then went to Platinum disco, which was not very busy and is really more like a tipico. I then went to Tribeca bar, valet parking, small place, good assortment of chicas. I was with a 19 year chica and her 24 year old aunt. Took the 19 year back to the hotel at around 5am for sex. Drove the 19 year old home this morning at 9am. The big titty chica from Friday is on her way over to the hotel now. i have to think of a good excuse as to why I didn't answer my phone last night. Curious as to whether there will be a problem getting her into the room.

I am now at the embajador hotel, bella vista neighborhood, sarasota and churchill. The 19 year old girl from santiago kind of had lips like angelie jolie. I met her online but never really chatted with her. While connected online in the gran almirante I chatted with her, saw her in her cam on msn messenger, I saw a cute girl with nice boobs. I invited her to the hotel for a drink, coffee whatever, she said that she didn't want to leave her house and invited me to her house. I got the directions for her house and left the hotel around 7pm to drive to her house. What a clusterfuck. It was pouring rain, I had to get out of my car at least five times asking for directions. Many of the side streets in Santiago are terrible, worse than the streets in Sosua. I finally found her street, now I had to find her house. 95% of the houses on the street had no number on the outside. I called her cell various times but for some reason I could not get a connection. Eventually she answered the phone and came out onto the street. I went in to her house, met her aunt who was 24 years old. I invited both of them out, they served me coffee and asked me if I wanted any food. They took showers and changed their clothes and we drove over to the monument and went into Cucaramonga. Two floor rustic looking restaurant facing the malecon. When you park near there, there are always some young men in the street who will help you park, and walk with you with an umbrella, obliged to give them a tip. Bring a stack of one dollar bills. Most times I only had 100 peso bills, which I occasionaly gave as a tip.
Buy anything small here with a 500 peso or 1000 peso bill and you can expect that there will be wait for your change. Many places have trouble giving you change if you buy a coffee or a soda with a 500 peso or larger bill.
Cucaramonga had good food, the waiters are dressed as cowboys with holsters with pistols. Carribean baseball series is going on now, just about every bar and restaurant with a television has the games on. Many nights in bars and discos I have watched baseball while hanging out.
From Cucaramonga we went to Monte Bar, where eddie herrera was playing last night. I said I didn't want to go in (I said I wanted a different bar, to them), because the chica from Friday had tickets for that bar that night and she invited me, so I couldn't walk in with two other chicas after blowing her off.
They then took me to Las colinas rancho tipico, big open roofed place, cheap metal chairs and tables. With a big dance floor, that most tables face. I was bummed, I can dance but I said to myself, I dont feel comfortable with 80% of the people in the place facing the dance floor watching me dance merengue. The large presidents were 100 pesos in this place. There is also a billiards (pool) place adjacent to the entrance. I asked the 19 year to dance and she said no. I then asked the 24 year aunt and she said yes. I danced merengue with the aunt and she stayed about a foot away from me, while we danced. What I wanted was a dark club where I could do some grinding to some reggaeton music.
Eventually the 19 year old, she is tall and thin with good size breasts, said she wanted to dance. Her style was way different from the aunt. This girl danced merengue stuck to my body, her tits pressed up against my chest, her thigh and leg up against my crotch. That got me horned up. The Dominicans in Rancho Tipico do some dirty dancing. All kinds of humping and grinding, while dancing merengue. The dance floor was crowded, it is funny, my girl stuck to me like glue, dominican guys all over their chicas, all very close and I am making eye contact with the other chicas while they are dancing.
I actually really enjoyed the Rancho Tipico, some really big chicas came in alone. I have drank a good amount of tequila and vodka on this trip, and of course many presidentes. The presidentes sometimes really give me the farts. I took some gas x.
We then went to Platinum, which kind of sucked. We then went to Tribeca which is back towards the monument. Some cute chicas there. The 19 year was now alone with me, the aunt had gone home. This girl pounded like 5 vodkas. All she wanted to do was dance. I obliged. I danced for hours. In Tribeca close to closing time, every chica gets grinded and humped on the dance floor. Even the big fat ones are getting grinded by some dominican dude at the end of the night.
I drove to the gran almirante around 5am, parked my car in the basement garage, took the elevator that stops in the basement and went to my room with the chica, I did not walk past the lobby. The elevator stopped on the first floor and a security guard looked at me, the elevator door closed and I went to my floor. Another security guard on my floor, he said buenas noches and I went to my room with the chica, no problems.
I have to write a separate post about the drivers here. God forgive me, but there are some really retarded drivers here.

I had sex with the 19 year between 5am and 6am today, then woke up around 8 30 am, her cell phone kept ringing, it was her aunt. The 19 year old said she felt mal, from all the drinking. I drove her home around 9 30am. I took the elevator with her to the basement where my car was parked. I really wanted to put her in a cab and send her home. But I didn't want to walk by the front desk with her. I drove her home and went back to my room, when the big titty chica called me. She asked me what happened the night before and why I didn't answer my phone and I told her I couldn't get a connection, she said ok. She then invited herself over to my room. She arrived around 12 00 pm and came up to my room. I went swimming and then took a shower. I gave her a massage with the ky massage oil. Shirt and bra came off. Big tetas. I am sure she was trying to make me believe she is a good girl. My dick was hard, I had a towel on. I put her hand on my dick and I said "es no muy comodo chofer mi carro por santo domingo con eso", "difficult to drive to many hours with a hard on". BJ time, CIM, swallowed everything. (she knew I was driving to Santo Domingo pronto) I dropped her off and called a chica who was in moca, that I love having sex with. I drove to Moca, torrential downpour, this chica was going from moca to santiago today. I took her to zeus cabana, BJ, fucking, she ws screaming. 510 pesos for the cabana at zeus. I dropped her off with a taxi near zeus and drove to the capital. Checked into the emabajador, not sure if it is chica friendly, I have to some work online and I needed a good internet connection. Not sure what I will do tonight. Maybe coppa disco in hotel melia mas tarde.
Cuero I learned is the worst insult you can say to someone here. Also means leather.
Carnaval in La Vega, guys go around with leather straps and slap everyone's asses. I did not go to carnaval, the chica in La vega, told me this.
Many chicas will have several numbers, very difficult to know who is calling you, sometimes I just fake it and pretend like I know who is calling me, other times I just say quien hablas, who are you.
I was hanging with one chica and her friends in coppa disco and she asked to use my phone to make a call and she forgot to give it back to me. Clusterfuck, I realized when I got back to my hotel at 5 am that she had my cell phone, I had to search in my computer for my number and call, she was very apologetic. I had to drive the next day to Carrefour to meet her to retrieve my phone. Meanwhile, every chica who called me that day, was told by this chica that she was my girlfriend. When I spoke to them afterwards, I blamed it on my wingman and said that he let this chica borrow my phone. I was with a wingman for five days. I hooked him with two friends of my chicas, he had fun. I have been without a wingman for the last 5 days. I also hung with another ISG member, good guy, we went to gbp, baby dolls, foxys and the aurora del sol together one night.

[QUOTE=PuntaCanaGuide]I have been in the Punta Cana Area for a very long time, and I myself have brought clients to drnights, this is a 5 star establishment, and very reputable in the Punta Cana area, They also provide local services in the santiago and santo domingo areas. They are pricey, I must admit, which may be the reason Naked Fun might have his panties in a bunch, But I would say it is well worth it, since they provide the total package including armed security, and in the DR a little secuirty doesn't hurt.[/QUOTE]
I just checked out their website..........I really don't think most guys come to DR to pay $200 and up for a Chica and that was for 2 hours. Are they crazy, forget that when you can pay $50 or less for 2 hours.
Awesome report with the details and the play by play.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]I am at the el gran almirante hotel. Nice pool, chica friendly to a degree. When I checked in I asked if I could bring in friends. I was told I could bring one guest to the room and two guests to the pool.
This morning around 5:30am, I had sex with a 19 year old that I met online. I drove her home this morning (sunday morning), Saturday it rained. Friday was my first day her. I left santo domingo Friday morning, stopped in Bonao, got a blowjob from a chica I know in Bonao, the cabana in Bonao cost 500 pesos. I then drove to La Vega, where I visited another chica for an hour, no sex, met the girl's father, mother and aunts, no problem. I then drove to santiago, some chica I know from online came over to the meet me in front of the el gran almirante. I could not remember what this chica looked like. When I met her, she was kind of big. We went to the Friday's restaurant, I ate, she ordered nothing. I really just wanted to get rid of her. I told her that I had to do some work on my computer in my room and that I would have to say goodnight, I walked her over to a taxi near the casino, gave her 200 pesos taxi fare and said adios.
I then called a big titty chica I met online. She said that she could meet me in an hour. She arrived at the front of the hotel around 9:45pm, I told her that would meet her at the bar where she going in an hour, that I had to do work on my computer. She was in a car and her friend was driving. The friend had big tits that were just popping out. Earlier I had called another chica that I know in Santiago, a chica who I met in person about 8 months ago, for an hour and never had sex with her. The big titty chica drove away and then I called the other chica who arrived about 15 minutes later. I told her that I wanted to talk with her in a quiet tranquil place (cabana hahaha), I drove with her over to the monument, parked the car near a bar and kind of gave her the message that what i really wanted was to go a cabana, she said lets go.
She took me to Horus cabana, when you drive into the Cabanas, the most expensive rooms are usually closest to the entrance. In Bonao the first rooms were called presidential. I chose a room called sencilla in bonao. In Horus Cabana, the first ones I believe where called ejecutivo, the next one I encountered was called fantasy, I drove into the garage of the fantasy room. Laid on the bed, the phone rings, i ordered a small coca cola, a few minutes later you her a short buzz and I walked over to the small revolving compartment, where there was a bill (just about every place here gives you the bill in a black folding portfolio type thingy). Small bucket of ice with the soda. This room had a jacuzzi near the bed. The cost was around 900 pesos. Last time I was in santiago I used Bora Bora cabana, I prefer the room at Bora Bora.
Friday night I visited Overlook bar where hermanos rosario performed. I took a picture with rafa rosario. Another brother Rosario, the tall bald headed one was dancing with the friend of my chica. The chicas love dancing when those guys sing. I danced my ass off. Drove my chica home, she invited me in to her house, where I met her mother and sister and brother at 4 am. I then had to figure out how to get back to my hotel. I paid some taxi driver 150 pesos, so that I could follow him in my car back to the hotel.
Last night went to rancho tipico las colinas, fun place, some merengue band from south america performed there. Then went to Platinum disco, which was not very busy and is really more like a tipico. I then went to Tribeca bar, valet parking, small place, good assortment of chicas. I was with a 19 year chica and her 24 year old aunt. Took the 19 year back to the hotel at around 5am for sex. Drove the 19 year old home this morning at 9am. The big titty chica from Friday is on her way over to the hotel now. i have to think of a good excuse as to why I didn't answer my phone last night. Curious as to whether there will be a problem getting her into the room.

Jaososua ,
It's so funny you mentioned Bonao , i was just about to post a question about this place .
I meet a few girls on line , all from Bonao . They are all willing to meet me but all want me to go to Bonao . What is this city like , where is the best place to stay . From POP how far is the car ride ? Is it safe to go there by car alone ?
Thanks for all the info !
If you learn spanish and dress in a nice fashion you can pick up plenty of action in Santiago. During the day time you can pick up girls walking on the streets of calle del sol or hang out around the universities and flirt. After you get the hang of it It's a piece of cake all the way. You could even go to the strip clubs and get some day time action from the girls who work there at night. Local dominicans usually will pay 1500 or 2000 at the strip clubs. Unless she is like a gorgeous model type.
oh yeah "John Jr." Bonao is about 3 hours from POP depending on which route you take and how much traffic you run into cutting through Santiago.

Thanks for all the info ![/QUOTE]Driving around I never have problems. Bonao is a typical smaller Dominican town. There are tigers everywhere in the world, so be careful anywhere you go. The girl from bonao I met was sweet and quiet, I know two girls from, both very nice. I have not encountered any bad guys, you will be safe. The unsafest part about being here, is the way some of these assholes drive. I have seen some crazy, stupid, driving here. Some of these people drink and drive and obviously some of them cannot handle their liquor. This past Sunday I was driving from santiago to Santo Domingo, I left Santiago at 6pm, raining. The highway is a two lane road, two lanes each direction. Some guy with a big white pickup decides to enter the enter, he crosses both lanes of traffic and then turns left into the passing, fast lane of the highway going in the wrong direction of traffic. I was stopped in traffic on this highway for at least 30 minutes because of a 5 car accident. I'll post a more detailed description of my driving experiences here. Puerto Plata to santiago is around an hour, Santiago to Bonao is around an hour. Usually the highway from Santiago to Bonao is wide open, on a sunny day, with no traffic, you can probably get from Santiago to bonao in an hour or less. I don't know any hotels in Bonao. People here are generally very nice to me. I have encountered very few knuckleheads. Learn: doble (turn), izquierda (left), direcha (right), direcho (straight), zamaforo (traffic light). I have gotten lost plenty of times, the people are very nice when I ask them for directions. Generally they are very nice people. Bonao has some rivers, that might be the only touristy thing in Bonao. The cabana in bonao was nothing special but for 500 pesos it was good enough.
If you need any other info let me know.

[QUOTE=Fuddzie]Are these street hookers on calle de sol? I'm a little too old to be hanging out at universities, so that's out. Tell me about the strip clubs and are they take out? Is there a salida?[/QUOTE]Calle del Sol will have a mixture of everything, ie. working girls, beeper chicas, and girls just hanging out shopping. You would have to engage them in conversation to figure out who's who.
The strip clubs charges a salida, but that price is included in whatever the girl charges. The price is usually cheaper if you settle on the cabanas on the property. It's very easy to contact these girls during day for a "Happy Hour" or try Gomez Diaz, which sometime have the same girls doing waitressing in the day.
Also, for University girls, you just need to hang out at one of the bars near the university, send a drink (usually beer) to their table, raise your glass to them and many times they will invite you over to continuing buying them more. But so what, if it's only beer they are drinking. Start the small talk with HUMOR and I'll bet one of them would find you cute and you are "In Like Flynn"
Be courteous and a gentleman and dress like you are somebody. Remember you are NOT a tourist, but a travelling businessman looking for new opportunities.
Buen Suerte
Than my Scotia Bank being on the Calle de Sol, been there many times and have yet to see SW's or anything that resembles a place where chicas hang out. Please be more specific, I am returning to Santiago in a few weeks. And which University are you speaking of with your recommendation to hang out in the bars near the U's? Which bars? I have always had good luck at the Gran Almirante and the Matum. There is Passions, ah! , so much to choose from, other places, well, I want to know the specifics, where, when, how?
Calle del Sol is good place to walk around and chat up with some non-pros during the day time. But if you are looking for some hookers, than there is a bar up the block from Calle Sol. Heading towards Mcdonalds about two blocks from Aloha Sol hotel and make a left about a block and a half on the left hand side. I believe it's on San Luis, but ask the local cabbies or kids selling cell phone holders in the street. The schools I am refering to is PUCMM or UTESA. They are both on Estrella Sadhala and which bars are the best, who knows. Walk around and pick one. Do a little bar hopping. At night time you will see a bunch of them at Ahi disco, across from Ahi bar. You could check out Francifol, Dolce or Tribeca on the weekend, but dress nice or they won't let you in.

Here's a taste of what you'll find. [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/95mwat.jpg[/IMG]
You are lucky to be travelling around Carnival time, because every Sunday is feeding frenzy. I hope you speak spanish!

Is there a hotel in the area. Is this street safe at night? I'm having a difficult time finding the room rate for Aloha SOl hotel. Any one know?
[QUOTE=Fuddzie]Is there a hotel in the area. Is this street safe at night? I'm having a difficult time finding the room rate for Aloha SOl hotel. Any one know?[/QUOTE]
Aloha Sol is about $55 or $60 a night, a quick google search will give you their phone number. The streets are pretty safe at night, it's a busy street. You can pretty much choose any hotel because you can reach most areas of Santiago in about 10 to 15 minutes by cab for RD$100.
[url]http://www.alohasol.com/alojamiento.html[/url]
Stayed there twice in 2007 but was not impressed. I prefer Platino
or Plaza Central. Both are a five minute taxi from the monument. And while the area around Aloha and Holdelpa Central is safe, when you walk up Calle Sol toward the Monument, there are some iffy areas.
As another alternative for chicas, try Two Way Bar. Take Estrella from Monument area, past the Gran Almirante and TGIFs and make a right at the first light just past Luperon (Luperon is the Loma road to Sosua with the Heche building on the corner). Good prices on food and drink, live entertainment a couple days a week, pool hall on top floor and all types of chicas from pro to non-pro.

So , it sounds like there is action to be found, which is real news to me. Plantino's sounds like a good choice. How far is it from the monument to walk. I need to find a street map of the city Not that I'm cheap, I just like to walk and take in the surroundings. Is either the Aloha or Platino chica friendly?

Those hotels are chica friendly. I remember when Two Way first opened, been there only once, but I had a nice time. The bar is a spin-off of One Way on the corner of Las Carrerras Ave. & Tollentino. Very close to the Monument. It's a colmado that plays loud music and sell cheap beers, it's also a good spot to chica watch during Carnival.

What are the going prices of chica in this city? I do expect the quality and prices to be a bit more over Sosua. Thanks for your info

Well if she likes you and she is a pro, and you met her outside in some bar, the mall or in the street, at least a RD$1,000.
If she likes you and you are picking her up in one of the three big strip joints, at least $RD2,000. I think the club get's $RD500 out of that payment.
I've heard of guys pay in excess of $RD7,000 in Pasions. I won't lie to you guys, I've picked up plenty of Semi-Pro action in the local bars and colmadons. Look for the chicas sitting alone or with one other girl and wait for that eye contact. The same way I picked them up in the streets, say Hola Buenas and wait for the eye contact, you'll be surprised how many Pros and Semi-Pros mix and mingle in regular bars and clubs.

What is a colmadon? What are the names and where are the three strip clubs. RD7000 is crazy. I can get a stable of chicas for that amount

Platino is chica friendly but I don't believe you can walk to the Monument easily. I always have a car so I'm not an authority but you cannot follow Estrella because it tunnels underneath the autopista. I think you would have to cut through neighborhoods off the beaten path. Not dangerous in themselves but they are right next to some pretty nasty areas (below the Monument past Marisco Centro)
[QUOTE=Fuddzie]What is a colmadon? What are the names and where are the three strip clubs. RD7000 is crazy. I can get a stable of chicas for that amount[/QUOTE]
A colmado is a neighborhood grocery store. Most sell beer (and some liquor) and the locals sit around drinking and listening to music. Some colmados have good sound systems and plastic tables and chairs our front.
The clubs are Passion which is just off the autopista, Casa Blanca and Illusiones? which are both on Ave Duarte. Take Rafael Vidal from the autopista until it ends and go left. Ilusiones is on the left about 3-5 minutes and Casa Blanca also on the left a bit further. Haven't been there but heard Casa Blanca has been dead. Heard good things about Ilusiones especially late.
7000P is crazy but it has been my experience that they will ask for 4000-5000P initally.

Now I know the word colmado. I've had very good luck and quality at one in Santo Domingo. Sounds like a taxi will be necessary. But I don't believe I'll be going to the clubs with that cost.

When you take Rafael Vidal to the end you'll make a right instead of a left. The left will send you towards the mall.
Fuddzie:
The 7,000RD is the pendejo price chicas charge unknowing gringos. But if you are new to the scene, they will ask for 4,000 - 5,000RD. The taxis are RD$100 and sometimes they'll ask for RD$150 at night if you are travelling far.
I was in Casa Blanca a couple of years ago. I didn't like that prison camp gate the closes behind you. We walked up the side of the place, which opened out into an area behind the building. There were chicas sitting in groups around, smoking mostly. They all looked bored and did not really take notice of us. It was this careless attitude that I was turned off. We sat and had a conversation with this chica. At the end she wanted 6000pesos!
WTF! For what? I'd never been back since.
RD4000 or RD5000 is way out of my range for puta. At this point it's like paying RD100 for a piece of bubble bum. It aint the price, but the principle.
Santiago is suppose to be the charm of the DR and I want to have a good time..chicas, food and cigars. I am use to paying RD 1000-2000 in Sosua and DR. for quality with personality. I hope to discover the same.

[QUOTE=Terry U]Calle del Sol will have a mixture of everything, ie. working girls, beeper chicas, and girls just hanging out shopping. You would have to engage them in conversation to figure out who's who.
The strip clubs charges a salida, but that price is included in whatever the girl charges. The price is usually cheaper if you settle on the cabanas on the property. It's very easy to contact these girls during day for a "Happy Hour" or try Gomez Diaz, which sometime have the same girls doing waitressing in the day.
Also, for University girls, you just need to hang out at one of the bars near the university, send a drink (usually beer) to their table, raise your glass to them and many times they will invite you over to continuing buying them more. But so what, if it's only beer they are drinking. Start the small talk with HUMOR and I'll bet one of them would find you cute and you are "In Like Flynn"
Be courteous and a gentleman and dress like you are somebody. Remember you are NOT a tourist, but a travelling businessman looking for new opportunities.
Buen Suerte[/QUOTE]Great post. I usually dress nice. Button down short sleeve shirt with Dockers. I like the button down shirt sleeve shirts made my quicksilver, they have various styles, comfort fit for bigger guys and slim fit for skinnier guys, as well as normal fit. I drove by what appeared to be a strip club around the corner from Montezuma bar. I went to Overlounge, not far from the el gran almirante. When the chica told me she was going to Overlounge, it sounded like she said Ober bar. The letter v pronounced like a be in spanish. I saw a couple of cute chicas sit in the park de colon in zona colonial, in santo domigo, while I was drinking beer in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. I think for the next time, I will try and get one of the vendors or street kids to go and make the introduction for me, from your post appears the same can be done in Santiago. I went into one claro shop near calle de sol, in santiago to buy a claro card and ask for directions, cute girl inside gave me a big smile. Some pleasant friendly chicas in Santiago. I have thought about printing up business cards for the Dominican Republic with my Dominican cell number, not sure if any other members have tried that.
Moma bar in santiago is supposedly good. I know one cute chica from online who lives in Santiago. I chatted with her and said that I was in Santiago and said I wanted to see her, she said she was sick and then she tried to pass me off to her sister. Her sister is light skinned, nice booty, with numerous tattoos, age about 21. I had chatted with the sister before and she was not polite. I said I did not want the sister. So then the chica had me chat with her cousin. The cousin said she could visit me in the hotel for 2 hours for 100 dollars and cab fare. She was also light skinned and age about 22. I declined. I have some photos of these chicas that I will post. These three light skinned chicas in Santiago are like sharks, I don't trust them.

[QUOTE=Ehunter]Well, I tried to make contacts before arriving but the loss of my phone shot that all to hell. My conclusion is that if you dont know somebody in the scene most everyone will have a rough go at it. Even some of the contacts I made here did not pan out.[/QUOTE]I chat with chicas in msn messenger. When they give me their phone number, I right click next to their name in msn messenger, then click edit contact, then click notes in their contact information. I cut and paste their phone number, into the part that says notes. I usually add their name here and their age. Also I use sti for santiago chicas, sdq for santo domingo chicas. I then copy and paste that information into the subject line of an email, that I send to my yahoo email. I keep all the all the contacts in a folder in yahoo, that can be easily printed out. I also use a similar system when adding numbers to my dominican cell phone. I put the chicas name or part of her name, (then sti, sdq, bn for boano, sp for san pedro) and sometimes the age. Problem sometimes, is that you will have several Annies or several Johannas in santo domingo, it can get confusing. Many of the online chicas don't pan out. I don't always have patience for them, but that is a mistake. Better to be patient, if they can't see you this trip, there will always be future trips. I have known chicas online who try to hook me up with their sisters, cousins or friends. Most times the chicas from online when I meet them in person, they are with a cousin or a friend. Sometimes the friend or cousin is hotter than the girl I am meeting.
I've read alot of reports on this city. I will be in Santiago next week staying at Hotel Plantino. I hope to find some chicas on the street and bars to take back to my room. I''m keeping my fingers crossed!
I drove from SDQ to STI alone. I met some big titty chica online who lives in bonao, whose number I had saved in a folder in my yahoo email, I printed out all the phone numbers from the folder in my yahoo email, but the last two numbers of her phone number were cut off, so I was unable to call her when I passed bonao.
I checked into the Hodelpa Centro Plaza, which is on Ave Mella just off Calle de Sol. If you are driving up Calle de Sol (which is one way and the direction of traffic heads towards the monument) make a right at the McDonalds, (I believe it is Calle San Luis) then make your next left and the next street is I believe Mella, which is one way and make a left on Mella and the Hodelpa Central Plaza has a parking lot on the left and you enter the lobby of the Hodelpa next to the parking lot on Mella. I paid 107 for a sixth floor non smoking room, breakfast included. Free WiFi internet. Nice restaurant on the sixth floor, where they have the breakfast buffet and dinner at night, very nice view of the city from there. Small gym and a business center on the 6th floor.
A light skinned chica that I have known for about two years, I invited her over to the hotel around 4pm. She came to the hodelpa centro plaza and after I drove with her over to the Hodelpa El Gran Almirante where I used the pool. I carried a t shirt and shorts and changed in the sauna room near the pool. I swam and drank a bunch of presidentes at the pool bar. The chica was drinking as many beers as me. She is thin, long brown hair, age 26, no kids, thick lips, very light skinned. The last time I saw her was about a year and a half ago, for drinks for an hour. She hasn't aged well, she is still attractive but she was cuter the last time I saw her.
I then took her to Fridays restaurant which is next door to the el Gran Almirante. I ate a Jack Daniels cheeseburger and drank more presidentes. I don't like the Friday's restaurants in new york city, they are kind of dirty and beat up. The Fridays restaurant next door to the el gran almirante is very new, very clean, very nice. It has about 7 television sets above the bar with sports. Morena waitress very sweet, nice personality. The chica who I took to the Fridays told me that Fridays is an expensive restaurant and many people can not afford to eat there. She drank more presidentes in fridays. After we left fridays she asked me if I wanted to go to my hotel. Stupid me, said no. I said lets go dance. So we went to Monte Bar.
The prior night the authorities in santiago had closed three bars because they found minors drinking in three bars, las colinas rancho tipico was one of them, along with a bar called something like fino and some other bar.
In Monte Bar there was an entrance fee for guys, maybe 200 pesos or less. Monte Bar is like a tipico, small metal tables with cheap metal chairs. I ordered about 6-7 large presidentes while in monte bar. The bill was 435 pesos. Monday night is birthday night at monte bar, people go there to celebrate birthdays. Old people and young people there. I saw one 70 year old guy dancing with a 20 year old chica. It is big inside, dance floor in the middle and a stage on the side. (a merengue tipico band played) I had a table in front of the stage. American baseball games on the televisions, first some east coast games that were finishing, then they switched over to a west coast game with the San Francisco Giants. Nice life, I have an attractive friendly chica sitting next to me, cheap beer, watching baseball and seeing the other cuties that were walking around in the bar.
I was a little nervous in monte bar, because I have a big titty GF chica in Santiago and I had not called her yet and I know she goes to monte bar, so I kept thinking that any minute the GF chica would come up behind me and drama, but the GF chica wasn't there. Then a group came in and got tables in front of me, 5 girls and 2 guys, some cuties. My girl knew one of the guys and the guy kept staring at me. I am thinking to myself, was this dude her ex papi chulo, but after about half hour of the staring he got cool and said Hello, to me and all was peaceful. I have been told monte bar is open every night. Sometime it is the only option during the early part of the week, other bars only open thurs, fridays and saturdays.
To be continued.

There were some cuties in Monte Bar monday night. I danced merengue with my chica, the tipico merengue is different from regular merengue music, some of the beats are a little faster.
I exited monte bar with my chica around 1:20 AM. Earlier in the night she had wanted to go to my hotel. Now she wanted to go home. I was buzzed after many beers, I agreed to drive her home. I know from experience many dominican chicas are afraid to taxis alone late at night. Where she lives the streets are not paved, they are dirt roads, with the manholes jutting up in some places 7-8 inches above the dirt. The streets have no signs with their names. I had to make a bunch of turns on the dirt roads to get to her house. She is attractive and very friendly, but while I was driving her home she never mentioned anything about inviting me into her house, she does not live with her parents. I got to the front of her house and she still was not saying anything about inviting me in. I had previously invited her to an all inclusive in puerto plata for one night and while I was driving her home she was asking me if we were going to puerto plata the next day.
I have to learn to be more patience sometimes with some of these chicas here. At that moment parked in front of her house, I felt like I was a taxi driver and basically told her to get out of my car. A combination of the many beers, being tired and driving in some clusterfuck neighborhood with dirt roads, my patience was not there. Sometimes I prefer when a chica makes a little effort to get the moment moving toward some type of mutual sexual gratification. She tried to talk to me, but I was already pissed. What I have learned is that sometimes I have to play dumb. In hindsight I just should have parked the car in front of her house and invited myself in or asked to use the bathroom and then see what would have happened.
She got out of the car and now I had to figure out how to get back to the main road. I drove, some roads ended in dead ends and I had to go in reverse to get back to the prior road. 2AM, no people out, every person there was sleeping, no one to ask for directions. I kept driving on the dirt roads in the dark making left and right turns. The dirt roads are not smooth, there are ruts and rocks in the road. I started to think to myself that I will have to sleep in my car, till the morning, when I can ask for directions. I called the chica, she asked me what street I was on. I yelled "there are no street signs and hung up". I never would have been able to find her house again in the dark.
After driving around for 45 minutes I finally found the paved road and from there, I knew how to get back to the Hodelpa centro plaza, as I was driving, two cats ran in front of my car, the first one made it, the second one was killed by the car. I felt terrible for the cat.
The next day I went swimming at the el gran almirante, a 60 year old heavy set white guy came to the pool with an attractive 23 year morena. I was happy to see him enjoying himself. I invited some other chica I met online to meet me in front of the el gran almirante and she did not show up, but called me 30 minutes after our agreed upon meeting time, apologizing. She wanted to come then to meet me, but again I had no patience and told her to forget it. That night I had pizza with two chicas, who are friends of a friend of mine. We ate at some mall on calle duarte, MOMA bar is located in part of that mall on the outside to the side. I drove those chicas home and went back to my hotel and stayed in alone.

It is now 5:46 AM, I can't sleep. Today was fun. I had called the big titty chica the night before and she wanted to see me. I am sometimes retarded here. I called her house around 11PM, after I had pizza with the chicas in the mall. I called the big titty chica around 11pm and some chica answered and I said her name and the person said acostado, sleeping, I said ok and hung up. Only problem is, that I had dialed the wrong chica. So instead of sleeping alone last night, I could have had the big titty chica with me, but because of my mental retardation, I dialed the wrong chica. The way I save the numbers in my dominican cell is usually the first few letters from their name followed by the airport code for the city where they live. Yanny in santiago, is ynsti, or vanessa in in santo domingo is vnsdq. I do this because I know some jealous chicas will look through my cell and with the contacts saved like that, they will not know whether the person is a girl or guy and gives me an excuse, i can always say it was a male business contact who called me.
The big titty chica called me around 9am today, I have been awake since 8:30AM yesterday. She said she had a lunch break around 11AM and her job was close to the Hodelpa Centro Plaza and she could walk over and visit me. I met her outside the hotel and took her to my room, bbjcim swallowed everything. I took her to Pizza Hut and then drove her to her work. I then checked out of the Hodelpa Centro Plaza with the intention of driving to Santo Domingo. I stopped by a friend who owns a house near the monument and drank 2 large presidentes.
I had met some chica online who lives in Moca and I called her and she said she could see me (this was the chica I had called when I thought I was calling the big titty chica, she mentioned it to me and I said some guy asked to use my cell in the casino and had accidentally called her). I drove to moca. If you are driving to Moca from Santiago you can take the main highway that goes to Santo Domingo. I believe it is at the second overpass, about 15 minutes outside of Santiago, you have to make a left and cross the northbound lanes of traffic, to get to the road that will take you to Moca. You will make a left at the top of the exit road. That road will lead to Moca. I had the chica meet me in front of the big white church in moca. She is morena, 21, no kids, not tall, thin but with a little bit of ass. She was pleasant, I drove back to santiago and had dinner with her in restaurant Kuka Maraca, in front of the monument, I got a table where I could see my car, because my luggage was in the car.
She said she had to be back in moca in her house at 7:30pm, I said fine, it was 6:30PM when we finished eating. I told her I would stay another night in santiago and she came with me when I checked into Hotel Platino. She came into the room, I had her lay on the bed. Gave her a small massage with her clothes on, she didn't want to kiss and said she had to go back to Moca, I said fine. I learned, be patient, play dumb.
She took me on a different road to get back to moca, we went through licey. i have some dominican music, some of the songs are dirty, one is called la puta, she said she liked that song, and in that song the singer says the word KRIKA, which is supposedly another word for pussy. I am driving back to moca with her in the car and she asks me if I like pussy. I said yes. Then she tells me she masturbates every day. We start talking about sex and she says she never has had her pussy eaten. I take her hand and suck on it and tell her, that is how I eat pussy. Supposedly she is getting excited, I say lets go to a cabana, eventually she says yes. We went to some cabana in Moca, 550 pesos for the room and a small bottle of Coca Cola. I ate the pussy and she came.
She had super soft skin on her ass, when I took a break from eating her pussy she began masturbating herself. We left the cabana and she asked if we could stop so that she could get food for her mom. I gave her 500 pesos, she bought the food and gave me the change, 250 pesos.
I dropped her off at home, it was now around 9:30 PM and I called a few gf chicas, giving excuses as to why I didn't answer their calls. I then drove to some park where I met some other chica I know in Moca, really sexy, really good in the bed. She was with her sister and I drove them home (I'll pick her up today around 10AM for a romp in a cabana) I took some other road back to Santiago, that puts you near the McDonalds on Sadhalla Estrella.
I then called some other chica I met online, thin, no kids, pretty, 25 years old, and invited my self over to her house, I had never seen her before in person. I put the chica on the phone with an older security guard at the texaco gas next to the McDonalds, she told him where she lives and afterwards the old guy gave me directions, very polite, very friendly people.
Some places only sell the 100 peso claro cards, they suck, they are finished after about 4 calls. I kept running out of minutes.
I drove to her house and got lost. There were three older ladies standing outside some small restaurant and I asked them for directions and they called out some 18 year old and he told me to follow him on his scooter and I followed him for about ten minutes and he took me where the chica lived, he asked for nothing, but I gave him some money. Cute girl, went up to her apartment, nice building, security gate to get into the streets where the buildings are located. It was around 11:30PM when I got to her house. I stayed her in living room for 30 minutes and chatted, I'll see her again on another trip.
I then went to the casino at the Gran Almirante, ordered a beer at the casino bar, but was told the law is they can't sell beer after a certain time. I had gone into the casino of the Hodelpa Centro Plaza at 3:30AM, the night and bought a beer. I don't know what the story is.
To be continued.

It is now 7:03AM, have not slept in 22 hours. The guy at the bar in the casino at the Gran Almirante couldn't sell me a beer, but gave me a free cup of coffee. I walked around the casino, it was busy around 12:30AM, I saw one cute light skin chica playing slot machines. I then went to Matum Casino, also busy, did not see any obvious working girls. I saw two working girls walking around the monument at 1:00AM. They were tall, I didn't get a good look, but they might be transvestites. I will leave sti shortly, stop in Moca, have sex with the other Mocana chica and then Santo Domingo where I have a GF chica waiting and I have a few other contacts.
One afternoon, there were two chicas sitting at the tables, near the inside entrance of the casino, at the Gran Almirante, I stopped and chatted with them, I am fairly sure they were working works, one short brunette, thin, light skin, attractive face; the other one was taller, not a pretty face, with acne, they didn't pique my interest, so I continued on my way.
Some photos from Santiago. Moma is supposedly a good bar. It is located adjacent to a shopping mall on Calle Duarte. When coming from the direction of hotel platino on avenida estrella sadhalla, make a right on duarte (I believe duarte is the street before the intersection that has the McDonalds), Moma is less than 5 minutes away from Ave estrella sadhalla on duarte (on the right side of duarte, same parking area as the mall).
I took the mountain to get back to Sosua from Santiago a few times. I can remember turning right at the street that has the edificio hace building. That mountain road is scenic but dangerous, locals walk on the road and there are lots of turns. Parts of the road are occasionally washed out, reducing it to one lane.
Cold frosted presidentes are called vestido de novia, girlfriend in white dress.
Attractive sti chica. Dirt roads.
Moma, Dolce, Francifol, Tribeca are several nice bars in Santiago. Francifol is on calle de sol, maybe about 15 blocks from the monument. Tette is a new bar on calle de sol about 2 blocks from the monument. El Tablon is a pleasant bar/cafe that sits facing the monument.
After being in Santiago for three nights, when I returned to Santo Domingo, it felt like when I go into NYC after being away in the mountains, going over the George Washington Bridge and entering the Cross Bronx Expressway, welcome to the grime, dirt, traffic. There is some traffic in Santiago but nothing like what you will find in Santo Domingo. Entering the Casino at the El Gran Almirante in Santiago, at 5PM, from the northbound lanes of Ave Estrella Sadhalla, where you have to make the left in front of the southbound lanes, is a hassle. But overall driving is not overly aggravating in Santiago, not like it is in Santo Domingo.
Overall the people in Santiago are very nice and helpful, I guess because they don't live in a crazy city, they are more tranquil and friendly. I have met some very nice people in Santo Domingo and I have met some nutty chicas in Santiago, but overall Santiago has a much more tranquil, nice vibe.
Santo Domingo can be fun, because it has numerous bars where you can easily find chicas for p4p. Easy mongering opportunities are more numerous in Santo Domingo. However with a little effort you can meet some very nice chicas to hang out with in Santiago and the lifestyle in Santiago is just much better.
Stayed one night at Hotel Platino. Paid about 2,500 pesos. This hotel is in Plaza Platinum on ave estrella sadhalla, there is a large university across the street from the hotel. Up the block from Hotel Platino is 27 Out Sport bar. Also up the block is a small shopping area with a pharmacy and an ice cream shop. I bought a 36 hour Cialis at the Pharmacy there for about 365 pesos.
Many businesses are located in Plazas, when you ask for directions, many times people will say the business is located in Plaza so and so. Empanadas seem to be be popular in Santiago. You will see many curbside stands selling Empanadas.
When entering Santiago from Santo Domingo on the main highway, there are at least 6 Cabanas on that road. Ethics Cabana had several roadside signs offering rooms for 99 pesos. I used Zeus cabana one time, nothing special. Horus cabana was ok. Bora Bora was the nicest of the ones I used. Seems Helios might be good too.
In Fridays restaurant adjacent to the el gran almirante in Santiago, each table has a small box with buttons on the top. If you want the waitress you press one button, if you want your bill you press another button. The waitress wears a small device around her wrist that signals her.
If you know chicas who live in Moca, an easy place for them to meet up with you, is in front of the large church in Moca.
People exercise in the park around the monument in Santiago, I saw some guys running up and down the stairs and other people jogging around the monument.
The waiters at Kuka Maraca restaurant dress like cowboys, with cowboy hats, chaps and holsters with pistols.
Attached to Hotel Platino is a bar restaurant, I went in and had coffee at 10:00AM, then checked out of Hotel Platino, check out took about 20 minutes. Got lost trying to find the highway.
Eventually made it into Moca around 11:30AM. Called a chica I know, she said she was at work, I said only for 30 minutes, she said OK. She told me to meet her in front of some small supermarket on some side street, that I had passed the night before. I found it. Before I met her, I took the 36 hour cialis. Entered some Cabana at around 12:00PM, with her, about 483 pesos for the room.
In most Cabanas there are usually buttons and/or dials, to the control the lighting, control the music and the Air Conditioning. I could not not find the switch for the air conditioning. The combination of the cialis and no air conditioning, after the sex I was sweating. She had to get back to work, so I took a quick shower, there was a hand held shower on a flexible hose in the jacuzzi tub. Not much of a shower. I was sweating bullets. My clothes were wet from sweat by the time I got into the car to leave the cabana.
Dropped her off in the center of Moca and now headed towards Bonao. Some chica I met online, lives in Bonao and had called me. She has good size tits, morena, age about 19 or 20. Very sweet voice. Some of these chicas do have a very sweet, feminine voice. I called the chica in Bonao and told her I would be there in an hour. I had never met her in person before.
I spoke with the chica from Bonao a few times while I was on the highway, she told me to meet her at some restaurant in Bonao. I got off the highway and drove into the center of Bonao, I asked an AMET officer for the location of the restaurant, he points me in some direction. I got to some street in Bonao and in the middle of the street something is on fire, black plumes of smoke, lots of people staring at the fire. I don't know what it is was, it was right in the middle of the street. I made a you turn.
I called the Bonao chica about 5 times while I was in Bonao, she never answered. I waited about 20 minutes and then drove back to the highway. As soon as I was back on the highway heading towards santo domingo, she calls me with her sweet voice asking where am I. I said I called and you didn't answer, I'll see you on another trip. I learned to have some patience, don't burn bridges. Maybe I'll see her on a future trip.
Drove into sdq, the rain started. Checked into the Hotel Palacio with my GF chica.
I was on one west bound street in Gascue, north of Ave. Santiago, and just before Ave Delgado, (around the corner from an Institute that was on ave delgado, with a bunch of students walking around) and I drove by a house that was painted in a dark color and on the gate of the driveway, there was a sign for what appeared to be an adult club, coming soon, maybe something like cheetah club. Maybe other members know something about that place.
Some heavy rains, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but there was still sunshine during parts of the day. The people at the Palacio are nice, if my car is parked in the street in front of the hotel, they usually call my room at around 10PM and suggest I put the car in the inside parking garage (inside parking garage is free). At least one cute, blondish hair chica works at the front desk of the Palacio.
Drove to the airport at around 1pm, passed Baby Dolls on the Malecon, the sign on the door said they were open. Passed Foxy's and it was closed at 1PM on Saturday.
Would be nice if they had a titty bar at the airport, be able to bust one last nut, while waiting.
Any body knows any Casa de Citas en Santiago.
I know there are many in SD.
I want to thank Jaosousa, Bq Ribs, Mr Gogo and Myore Vega who called, messaged or emailed me before and during my stay in DR. Sorry we did not met but I hope in a future we can organize a bikini mmm no, a wet t-shirt, mmmm no a topless, mmm no, Miss Dominican Republic nude contest to have fun with the girls.
I traveled from Jaguar hotel to Metro buses station using a taxi called from hotel lobby. There were taxis outside the hotel but lobby chica called a guy they trust. He charged me 150 pesos which I think is good considering distance and traffic conditions. Paid the Metro bus to Santiago, 270 pesos for a two hour trip. Arrived to bus station and then a taxi, 120 pesos to hotel. Trips inside the city cost 100-120 pesos. I stayed July 22-25 in Hotel Aloha Sol, an hotel similar to Mercure in Santo Domingo. I paid 1800 pesos or 50 dollars. Room price include an allowance for expenses so I you do not spend anything or spend less than the allowance they are going to refund you some money at checkout. Nice room, the hotel has 106 rooms, casino, restaurant, room service till midnight, a/c, cable, mini bar (water 25 pesos, candies from 15 to 60 pesos, beer 100 pesos) . I drank mini bar beers and then bought cold ones on a near bar, 45 pesos to substitute the 100 pesos beers, so I was not charged for mini bar. Phone calls were relatively cheap from hotel, local calls 3 pesos for 3 minutes, 6 pesos to cell phones.
Hotel Aloha Sol is in the middle of Santiago commercial area, banks, restaurants, stores are walking distant from hotel. Hotel Hodelpa is around the corner, a good money exchange house is two blocks distant from hotel. A breakfast buffet is included: milk, water, juices, coffee, corn and frosted flakes, cheese, ham, cooked salami and bacon, pancakes, mangu, muffins and cakes,fruits, eggs, scrambled eggs and omelets, bread and a toaster.
Later that day I met my first internet chica, Rossana. Pretty and young, she arrived to my hotel and went straight to the room. She was a little hyper girl, she was from watching tv to jumping over the bed to looking herself in front of the mirror to jumping over me and kissing me to watching tv again and stay calm next to me to sitting in the sofa and asking me questions to jump again to my bed and simulating to sleep while I massage her to jump again to the mirror ..I was going crazy. She left after 7 pm because her mom do not let her stay out late alone. We do not have sex, I just kissed one nipple, she says she is a lady not a ***** and it was our first time so no sex, I said ok and kissed her goodbye. She paid her taxi, she lives in a large house near Plaza Internacional so she is not a poor girl. But it was near 8 pm and was alone in a city I visit for the first time. I decided to call another girl I met on internet a few months ago to ask for places to hang out, she told me to call five minutes later. I called again and she told me she can go out with me. I said ok and she arrived less than an hour later. We walked Sol Ave. in direction to monument area. There was a travesti a corner before Tette, a nice restaurant or pub, looks very upscale. It was the only streetwalker I saw during my stay. We sat on a bar behind Moctezuma which is in front of the monument. There a a few pubs and restaurants in front of the monument and a a few others in the street behind Moctezuma and Cucara Macara. We paid 80 pesos for large Presidentes. Nelly was fun to chat, an intelligent pretty college girl. It was weekday so the place closed by midnight, I asked her for another place to go and she said lets go to Passions. !!! Passions? I know about that place but acted as if I do not know anything about the place. Is the place good? I asked. She told me I am going to like it. Passions is a little outside the city after a motel zone. The place is large, dark inside, large parking. Large beer is 280 pesos. We sat in couch next to the wall in the back of the saloon, there were people dancing , girls around in sexy outfits looking for clients. Very pretty girls. Suddenly after some kind of noise or bell a girl began to strip to full nude on stage. Very cute girl. By that time Nelly and I were like over 10 minutes kissing, a truly gfe. We went out and get inside a taxi , she lay down along the seat ad put her head over my legs, pulled me down and began to kiss me as passionate as a girl can kiss a man. We were kissing the entire trip back to hotel, taxi guy helped us with some romantic music. Back to hotel we continued foreplay until 3 am. No sex, she is a lady also, not a *****. She told me to see me again next afternoon, I said ok. No sex but it was a great night.
Next day I met with her again, went to Plaza Las Colinas which is near Monte Bar, later back to Calle del Sol and then to Plaza Internacional. Plaza has a small food court on top level with a good on the grill restaurant. Prices from 100 pesos for grilled chicken with rice, for example, baby skirt steak and a side order 200 pesos with a drink. I asked for a la carte menu, ordered a half rack of baby back ribs, rice, tostones (fried plantains) a bottle of water and a bottle of soda for the equivalent of $12, taxes included, a good value. Later she went to take her English lessons which were near my hotel so taxi left me in front of my hotel and her around the corner. 15 seconds later a taxi arrived to the hotel and there it is, Rossana, the first chica I met the day before, who wants to surprise me. She was 15 seconds away from being surprised instead. We went inside the room, she told me that again she has to go early because of her mother. I told her ok, no problem (she did not know I was going to met Nelly again after her 2 hour class.) It was the same routine again, watching tv, a little kissing, looking herself in front of the mirror, etc. After an hour I told her, dont get mad at me , but can you stay calm for a little, next to me, paying attention just to me? She said: all you boris (Boricuas or puertoricans) want is sex . I told her I am not asking for sex, just for full attention. I asked her how many Boricuas have she met and she said a lot over the internet and they always go directly to sexual conversations and I was the second she met in person. She stayed with me for a few minutes kissing and in foreplay, then she said she had to leave. Wow, it was 8 pm and I was afraid Nelly was outside waiting for me. Rossana told me to took her to the lobby. We went down and Nelly was not there. Uff! She left and I tried to call Nelly but my cell phone was with no bars. I called her from the room and she told me was calling me but I never answered and the she was back home. We arranged to meet again next day. I went to Pizza Hut, the girl at the door is one of the cutest Santiagueras I ever seen, pretty, sexy, nice body. Went to a bar in front of Mc Donalds and Pollos Victorina, large Presidentes for 75 pesos. Met a girl from Mc Donalds a pretty slim white girl, we chat for over an hour, exchanged numbers and that ended my day.
Friday 24 was my last day in Santiago. I was bored in the morning so I went to lobby computer to use the internet. I received a request from a girl on msn, another Santiago girl. We exchanged numbers just in case. Early pm I met with Nelly, we went directly to my room. She is a beauty, wow. Extreme foreplay again, wow, I love how passionate this girl is. Then she went to the bathroom and went back to my room in a white baby doll. Wow wow wow. Better than a Victorias Secret model. She told me she is my woman so we have near two hours of sex. We did almost everything. She told she have to leave early but next time I visit Santiago I can visit her home and we can go on a family trip to Jarabacoa, and that she have some surprises planned for me. We kiss goodbye and rested a little on my bed when Rossana called. She asked me where I was and told her I was into my room so she said to wait for her. Oh my, ok, I am going to wait you, I told her. I took a shower to clean for Nellys perfume, lipstick etc. She was there 15 minutes later and go up to my room. She turned on the tv and I thought: no again please. She was searching a channel with music to create a romantic atmosphere and then turned off the lights except bathroom lights. She told me it was nice to meet me and she wants to see me in the future, then kissed me. She asked about what I enjoy more about sex and I told her a blowjob . She told me a bj is not sex and that if I asked her for a bj yesterday it was highly probable that she was going to say yes. Well I want one now. And she gave it, I ate her tits, her pussy we had sex woman on top and doggie, I was a little tired for missionary. We rested next to each other for near half an hour, chatting a little. We dress up, took some couple pictures and she said goodbye. I was hungry. And tired. I am 40 yrs. and both girls age combined did not sum my age. I went to hotel restaurant, ate breaded fried mozzarella as an appetizer, a steak in some kind of delicious sauce with rice and tostones and a side salad, a bottle of soda and water. Price with taxes and tips was $20. It was 11 pm and I called my girls. Then remembered about the new contact from internet. I called Yanna, she told me to go to some place to party and drink but I told her I was tired so I was going to drink the beers and black label I have in my room. She said she can drink with me in my room and I said ok. She was there in 15 minutes, distances are shorter in Santiago than in Santo Domingo. She is pretty and dressing sexy, a little harcore look with tongue, face, and belly piercing and tattoos but turned to be a sweet girl. I offered her a glass of Juanito el Caminante (Johnie Walker Black Label) I bought at the airport duty free shops. 10 minutes later we were having sex, her moaning was so sweet and sexy that I came in less than five minutes. She told me dont worry, we can do it ten times if you want. She leaned over me and began rubbing her body over me, another erection, she took another condom and do the reverse cowboy over me, then I put her doggie style and slapped her ass, she said siii dame duro papi and after 10 minutes I came again but continued fucking her. It was my fifth cum of the day so I know it was little cum inside the condom so I fucked her while I maintained my erection. Yanna left after 2 am. I noticed something strange on her while waiting for the taxi and ask her what happens. The taxi came at that time so she did not have a chance to tell me but she later told me over the phone that she was expecting help (money) from me but she was afraid to ask because she is not a prostitute but her baby does not have milk. I told her Ill help on my next trip and she was happy. I was tired and went to my bed, mmm, my bed with the scent of three women.
The girls I met on Santiago were non pros so you think you are going to spent only on drinks and meals and maybe a taxi. While in Bavaro I noticed that I spent over 2000 pesos on calling cards when I was in Santiago. My DR phone is from Claro and most DR girls use Orange. I have been told that there is a surcharge if you call a person who uses Orange or Viva from a Claro phone and vice versa so if this is true, then it is better to have an Orange sim card.
[QUOTE=BoricuaOnline]I want to thank Jaosousa, Bq Ribs, Mr Gogo and Myore Vega who called, messaged or emailed me before and during my stay in DR. Sorry we did not met but I hope in a future we can organize a bikini mmm no, a wet t-shirt, mmmm no a topless, mmm no, Miss Dominican Republic nude contest to have fun with the girls.[/QUOTE]Boricuaonline,
Sounds like you had a good time. I haven't made it to Santiago yet but I did manage to meet one person from there at a bus stop in Santo Domingo back in March. She was getting ready to get on the bus so I took her contact information so we could keep in touch so when I do make it there I could cut down on the 'getting to know you' timetable that seem to be in place with some non-pros.
Anyway, catch you next time around. Just drop me a PM or something.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]After being in Santiago for three nights, when I returned to Santo Domingo, it felt like when I go into NYC after being away in the mountains, going over the George Washington Bridge and entering the Cross Bronx Expressway, welcome to the grime, dirt, traffic. There is some traffic in Santiago but nothing like what you will find in Santo Domingo. Entering the Casino at the El Gran Almirante in Santiago, at 5PM, from the northbound lanes of Ave Estrella Sadhalla, where you have to make the left in front of the southbound lanes, is a hassle. But overall driving is not overly aggravating in Santiago, not like it is in Santo Domingo.
Overall the people in Santiago are very nice and helpful, I guess because they don't live in a crazy city, they are more tranquil and friendly. I have met some very nice people in Santo Domingo and I have met some nutty chicas in Santiago, but overall Santiago has a much more tranquil, nice vibe.
Santo Domingo can be fun, because it has numerous bars where you can easily find chicas for p4p. Easy mongering opportunities are more numerous in Santo Domingo. However with a little effort you can meet some very nice chicas to hang out with in Santiago and the lifestyle in Santiago is just much better.[/QUOTE]
You are in the know. Your description of Santiago sounds like Santiago.

Hotel Los Jardines. It's on Av. Texas directly behind the Grand Almirante. Also the Platino is a nice place too. The only hotel in Santiago with a pool is the Grand Almirante and it's $150/night US. Both the Platino and Jardines are about $1600 RD/night.
If you want cheaper I know cheaper.

No, they do not speak English, Hi5, a page similar to myspace is often used in DR. Myspace and Facebook are not popular in DR but HI5 is very popular.

Do not sleep on what they know, remember Dominicans like to talk.
Facebook, Myspace, Hi5, Badoo whatever. Whatever you can use to communicate with people somewhere else it's going down here in the DR.
This past weekend I went through Monte Cristi. Monte Cristi really had some real lookers. Seems like a spot to go back to and spend a few days. It was not much going on as far as things to see but it did have a few good looking chicas.
Okay, first off, hi! This is my first time on the Santiago thread. I usually hang out in Puerto Plata or Sosua in DR or Panama City, Bogota, Medellin, or Rio de Janeiro...so, not a newbie to the game, just to Santiago.
I'm thinking of purchasing a ticket with Spirit Airlines from Ft. Lauderdale to Santiago (buying on Tuesday), but, the flight gets in at like 2am. So, I'm wondering:
A: Where can I get a hotel at that hour, either close to the airport, close to some chicas, or close to the bus station? Will I be able to get a taxi at that hour? for how much?
B: Which bus station should I ask to be taken to in order to get a bus to POP airport (or as close as possible) since I need to meet some friends there for their afternoon arrival?
C: How much should I expect to pay for the bus ticket to POP?
Thanks. Quick responses or PMs are appreciated!

Ok, I can help you. It's usually taxis at the airport when the 2:00am flight comes in because, as we both know, Dominicans aren't trying to miss any money. It will probably cost anywhere from $500 to $800 peso for them to bring you into town.
Now, are you trying to get a room to get some sleep or are you trying to waste some time until the bus starts running to POP?
If you are trying to get a room then it depends on how much you are trying to spend. If you are trying to waste a few hours for the bus and you don't have too many bags go to the casino at the hotel grand armenante (I am sure that is not how you spell it.). You can hang out there. Have some drinks. Meet a few chicas and it's only minutes walking to the Caribe Tours bus station.
I am not sure how much the bus to POP is (Tickets used to be $100 pesos to Sosua so, it is probably 200 pesos or more now.) but, I do know that you can take the bus all the way to Sosua so, if you talk to the driver there is a good chance you can get him to drop you off at the airport entrance.
I hope that helps. However, if you are looking for a hotel look back through earlierposts and there are a few listed.
Thanks to those who provided input! Sounds like the Gran Almirante and the Matum Hotel are top recommendations. Now, again, my flight arrives at 2am, I'll likely get to the hotel at 3:30 or 4am depending on customs (any timelines on that? ), so, now I'm thinking I may not even bother getting accommodations or chicas, but just hang out in the Casino (at the Gran Almirante) until whenever the Carib Tours busses start running (anyone know? ). I'd like to get into Puerto Plata ASAP after the bus station opens. I think I'll go to Blackbeards in the AM for breakfast (I LOOOOVE their breakfast; the girls. Ehhh, they're okay), then head out to the POP airport in the early afternoon to meet my friends. Maybe I can get a monger with a car to take me to the airport for $20 or $30 instead of the ripoff $50 that Blackbeards taxis try to charge.
Now, my return trip out of Santiago leaves early in the AM as well, like 3:30am, so, I likely will get a hotel for that night. Where should I go on a Monday night in Santiago to maximize my "Santiago experience" in minimal time? I'm guessing I'll arrive in Santiago by bus no later than about 6pm that day and I'll probably check out of the hotel at about midnight or so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I went to Santiago from SD for 1 night and stayed at the Airport Marriott. It is like a 5 star hotel. New and modern and priced right. I used Marriott reward points (10,000) which is cheap.
Warning: Satiago Airport is the worst airport in thw woeld to travel out of. I flew Jet Blue and there are lines upon lines to check in, then check lugage in another line and then you fight for position with all other passengers going to all airlines in the Terminal to get in for security. Allow 3-4 hours to get to your gate once you arrive at the airport. If I do it again I would bus back to SD and fly back to NY from there. It is a nightmare. Most of these peopele are first time travelers which makes it worst.

while killing a few hours waiting for my new santiago girlfriend, i decided to seek out a little sex.
i asked a cab driver where there might be a massage parlor where i could get a rub down and maybe a bbbj. he told me a female friend of his worked at gold's gym and gave massages. he assured me that they were of the erotic variety.
so, we went to gold's gym (not a bad gym, incidentally) and i hired a masseuse. i asked her if she knew my cab driver, and she said she did not; must be another masseuse, she said. she was a cute late 20's year old woman, trim, nice figure and pretty face, but she did not smile. when we got into the room, she locked the doors for privacy, and i began to think everything would be ok. i asked her how much (500 pesos), and i said, "that's all?", trying to hint that i would be happy to pay extra for the right service. she nodded and told me to take off my clothes. when i went to take off my undershorts, she told me to keep them on.
i had a very nice massage, but there was never a tease, never a question about would i like an extra, etc. indeed, while i am quite used to asking women shocking questions under similar circumstances (like, "would you give me a blow job for another 1000 pesos?"), i found myself speechless.
at the end, she told me she was finished, and then gave me a look that seemed to say to me, "why didn't you ask for more services?" or, was i imagining things?
does anyone know if extras are available from the ladies at gold's. will the women do erotic massage? it would certainly be convenient if the answer were yes! i guess i may have to go back and ask the right questions!

i don't know this place, but i must have had much more than 1000 massages through the years, and if she asks you to keep the undershorts on, it's about the strongest signal you can get. nothing extra.

Fellow monger went to Santiago last monday to handle some business and after business concluded, checked the p4p scene.
Me and two other friends went to Passion night club hard for me to give directions but everyone in town knows about the place since it is the top club right now.
Every monday they have a free concert when I went it was a bachata concert.
Now let's go to the important part for us, all I can say about the girls is WOWWWWWWWW, the girls in this place are unbelievable marriage material, 90% of the girls are from the cibao area where the best looking women in DR are from.
The exit fee for the girls is 500 pesos and the girls charge individually there is no fix rate but the majority told me 3000 pesos TLN.
It was hard do pick regular girls and working girls since they had the concert that night and the place disco / wh#$house but trust me fellows these women are HOT and from what I saw in that place I am definitely going to explore the santiago scene a lot more since locals told me there some more places worth checking out.
Hopefully this report helps all mongers and jumpstarts the santiago thread.

Great post but few here venture to Santiago and we got the best girls out here. Just a real different scene in Santiago.
Only bad I have heard in Santiago is from this guy below trying to get his rocks off at Gold's Gym. What was he thinking? I guess every woman in Santiago is a ***** to him. He doesn't undersand he is going to get the same service at Gold's Gym here as he would get in the US. It's Gold's Gym.

I went to Passions the first day of my July travel to Santiago with the girl I met that day and the girls were all hot! The first girl who stripped to full nude was a perfect 10. There are also other places, Casablanca and Illusions for example. There is also a strip club I have not chance to visit because I was busy with the 3 chicas I met on internet.

I certainly do not think that every women in Santiago is willing to have sex for money. In this case, I was told by my taxi driver that he had a female friend who worked there as a masseuse, and that, in fact, she offered the happiest of endings.
I was misinformed.
As for Gold's being the same Gold's gym that we have in the USA- it really is not. It's the Dominican variety, and that is quite different.
But I have to agree with Negro562 on one thing- Santiago has amazing women, who are amazingly available. Not every woman is a *****, but a large number of them are "non-pros", who will occasionally screw a foreigner for money. In fact, I spent an entire evening with a woman like this on my last visit. I met her through an old friend, and through a conversation that mostly consisted of not-so-subtle innuendo, we agreed on a P4P night. Price was never discussed, she treated me like a boyfriend (despite our age difference of about 30 years) but in the end, clearly expected a cash present. And, if one has time enough to start up an internet romance, the possibilities in Santiago are overwhelming. I met one of the most beautiful women I have ever known, and she fucked me senseless for "free".
I am a real fan of this city and highly recommend it to anyone who has both the time and command of the Spanish language.

The Gold's Gym in DR it is same in the sense that the people bought a franchise ta have it in DR it is not the same as far as infrastructure and variety of equipments because of demographics. we are talking about 300+ million people in the US against 12 mill in DR.

Does anyone know if there are massage places in Santiago where one can get a happy ending? P4P is not a problem in Santiago, but I usually arrange my time around non pros, and I am only looking for pros between dates. A massage place would be perfect.
I am flying in early morning like 4am.I want to rent a car and off to Sosua.I have heard of you guys talking about the Marriot at the airport but cant seem to find it.Are you guys talking about the Courtyard?I just want to get some sleep for few hours then drive up to Sosua in morning.Dont really want to take bus like renting car hopping back to Malecon in Pueto Plata and Cabarette at times.Just think I should take cab to hotel when I arrive then rent the car in morning.

It was sold a few years ago to the HodelPa group, same owners as The Gran Almirante. It's called the Hodelpa Garden Court now. You realize it's $130 PLUS 16% tax? There are much cheaper places to stay in STI, try The Platino or Los Jardines for less than 1/2 that price. You can also get a nice cabana for 4 hours right next to the airport very cheaply.

I think I will wing it.Maybe meet another gringo on plane Sosua bound.
Or just drive there tired.
I just did the Hodelpa Garden Court going in and out of Santiago.
The rate was 95 plus tax if you get the weekend rate- which I also got during the week because I asked.
It is very close to the airport- 5 minutes. It is new and clean.
To go to Sosua it is very nice because it is on the Sosua side of Santiago-meaning on the outside of Santiago on the way to Sosua so you dont have to fight the Santiago traffic. It was a hour and half taxi ride to the minute.
As far as being girlfriendly I think it is very wishy washy and I think towards the no side. My friends gf came to pick him up and they gave her a hard time going to the room and it was in the afternoon.
I have stayed several places in Santiago but this is by far the best choice if you want close to the airport arriving late at night.
As published on a classified ad:
Casa de citas Las Princesitas - SantiagoHOLA SOMOS 2 CHICAS UNIVERSITARIAS MOCANAS ESTAMOS RESIDIENDO EN SANTIAGO EN LA SURZA, TENEMOS 18 Y 19 AŅOS...HACEMOS DUOS Y TODO LO QUE DESEES. LLAMANOS AL 8096325819 NOELIA AISHELL.
Translating: 2 college girls from Moca, a town near Santiago are offering their services. They provide 3 somes and anything you want. They live in La Zurza in Santiago. La Zurza is the area to the right of the monument if you go up Calle Sol and east of Catholic University, Santiago biggest university. Hotel Matum, Aloha Sol and Platino are near La Zurza. Hotel Matum has pool, casino and disco and cost near $70 per night, Aloha Sol has casino and cost from $50 per night, Platino cost from $45.
Do not ask me anything about the girls, I am just quoting a classified ad.
I stayed at Aloha Sol on July and can recommend it. Nice, clean, confortable, unexpensive, very guest friendly with a breaksfast buffet. Is is located in Santiago main commercial area so you are going to find most of your needs within walking distance. Next to Aloha Sol is one of Hodelpa hotels with a price rounding the hundred dollars with casino and pool. Taxi inside the city cost from 100 to 120 pesos.

Actually the highway in front of the hotel is heading away from Sosua towards the Capital(south bound). If Dw1987 knows his way via the Moca route, it'll be an easy run, but if he doesn't he'll get lost & turned around cutting through Moca late at night. Also, that route could be dangerous if he drives "tired" and at night, it is still a mountain road.
Dw, you should play it by ear and grab a nearby cabana for a couple of hours and drive to Sosua in the morning, good luck.
Sorry for being pain in Ass I usually fly to POP but airfare is 500 cheaper to Santiagoi for Xmas and I need the miles on Spirit for a free flight next.
How much is a cab from Santiago to Sosua?Then I would take a bus on way back during the day.

Hey guys, experienced USA hobbyist here going on a trip to the DR and certainly glad to have found this thread. I am planning on staying in DR for 2-3 months and would really like to find a nice place and understand I'll end up paying more for it. What brought me to this thread was that I found a condo I liked online and the location just happened to be in Sosua so I then told some friends and they came across this thread online. The condo I was looking to stay at the infinitiblu condos. Are there better deals elsewhere in DR someone can direct me to?
Can you guys tell me anything about the surrounding area? Will I be able to get taxis in order to get around? Is it walking distnace to any type of club/bar/restaurants/grocery store to go to? Will I need to rent a car?
Is it walking distance to the pro's of Sosua? Even if it is, would I even be able to bring any back to my location here? Would I even want to or would I probably just be better off
Any advice or recommendations for me would be appreciated, I'm mainly looking for a way to get around in DR (walking? Taxi?) without a car, looking for nice place to stay, looking to do some mongering, as well as experience some of the culture, ideally a beach too, etc.
I was in Sosua last month and went to Passion 's while I was there. I liked the place a lot . I have heard from a cab driver that the Passion's in Santiago is much better. Has anyone been to both places?

I ahve been to the one in Santiago and it is amazing trust me.
i was in santiago late november for 2 nights before heading to sosua. the one there is spelled pasion, if i recall. it's a pick up place / night club. the girls can be banged on site for $100 or take out for $140 to $200. yea that's the crazy prices i was told by a few 10s. but remember the night club has to get their % to. as closing time approaches the recession price kick in, so wait for the after 3am discount.
if i may say so the girls in the club were the best looking girls i have ever seen, remember when in sti they have to compete with all the other good looking chicas.
it has a dance floor in the center and cocktail tables and chairs around it. the bar is located at the back on the right side. they have waiters that get your drink for you also. this was the largest club i have ever been to in dr. it was about twice the size of cristals in pop. it's pretty dark inside. they have it dark since a great deal of dr men with money, who are married come by to hang out. they also have a restaurant on site outside and a open courtyard. so if your not sure if your getting a nice chica go out back and talk to her or all of them before you decide.
this was the play.
when we walked in there were girls at the door and security officers plus more then enough girls rep001tered around the club. you can take any girl in the club and get a dance with them. i dance with 6 or more girls during the night. it was great. note also some girls are with there boyfriends. remember i did say it was a pick up place / night club.
now this is the killer. if i recall it was after 1am and the real show started.
they had chicas come out 1 at a time and strip dance down to nothing. each chica dance to 2 or 3 songs, for about 6 to 9 minutes but dam who's counting. i had my mouth open the whole time. during the dance the guys in the club were throwing money out on the floor and walking on the dance floor slipping money in their g-string if they still had them on. when i say money i mean like $2 us or $100 peso. whatever join in on the fun your on vacation that's how the girls make there money.
after the girls dance 1 at a time they took a break for 15mins and people continued to dance on the floor for another 20 min. then 6 more chicas came out and dance 1 at a time.
by the end of the night i was so horny from dancing and looking at the performances i was ready to bust a nut in my pants.
me any my wingman had a great time.
just to let you guys know when your in sti city dress in nice pants or nice jeans and a nice short sleeve shirt hanging outside your pants. no shorts or flip flops like we do in classico's in sosua. they may be poor but i saw some well dress people that night.
and again a good time was had by all.

We left the club around 3:30am with chicas in hand and headed to the hotel. My Dominican amigo told me some rooms at the club have hidden cameras in the rooms for the girls protection. They do that when the guy may be trouble....... to look out for the girls when their in the back having sex. Don't want to be a porn star on no chicos home video unless I'm doing a R Kelly on the chica for my own personal use.

Jaosousa this was a Wednesday night. I arrived in Sosua on Tuesday, we went to STI on Wednesday with one thing in mind. To check out this Pasion Club. From what I understand it's the place to be in STI. I mean they have all the other clubs open from Friday to Sunday.........but on those days we where in Sosua.
Hey guys, after reading these reports I am planning to fly into STI for my upcoming trip and spend a night or two before heading to Sosua for the rest and fly out of there. How is this Pasions place? Are the same girls there every night.. like are the employed by the club or are freelancers in there too? Are they as good as in Classicos? Is there much action during the daytime (street girls, carwashes, escorts etc)? I plan to check out pasions and the other two clubs mentioned here.
thanks..

I visited Passions in Santiago on July, the chica I was with took me there because the place closes late, by 4 or 5 am. The place has a large parking that is inside high walls so it is very safe. Inside is dark, lot of chairs and tables, girls walking around in search of customers, people dancing on stage. The dancing music stops and girls perform full nude striptease, there are some 10,s there. If you come from Santo Domingo or took the Autopista Duarte from Santiago Airport, Passions is on Restauradores # 10 before you see the cabanas, is an exit to your right, if you come from Santiago city center it is to your left after the cabanas. For your convenience I added a link on Grater Santo Domingo Mongering Map which in the future will be Greater Dominican Republic mongering map.

Thanks for the Pasions info.
One more question which of the Cabanas near there are nice and have room safes. Being that I will get there 4am or so I figure I will put my suitcases there and venture up to Pasions for hour or two then catch some sleep.
Or should I just get room at Imperial Aparta Hotel? Don't really like the idea of having my suitcases in a Taxi while I am inside the bar unless he is with me. Then I will venture to Sosua and New Garden during the day.

Supposedly Zeus is closest to Pasion, the room I had in Zeus was nothing great, it is near some electric station with large power lines near it and down some side road off the main road.
I used Bora Bora one time, maybe an executive room, very nice, it had a separate room with a jacuzzi and a glass skylight above the jacuzzi. I don't recall if they have safes.
Horus was O.K., I used the Fantasy room, if I recall correctly. The room had a little bit of a funk smell.
When you pull into a cabana the more expensive and nicer rooms are closer to the entrance, if you continue to drive along, then there are the less expensive rooms. The Cabanas can get packed on Friday and Saturday nights late.
I don't think you can check into a cabana and then leave and then come back again. Maybe you can tell the workers there you are returning
(your stuff will not be secure unless the workers lock the doors). You are not given any keys when you use a cabana. You pull into the open garage opening, close the garage door and then enter the room (you pay for the room inside the room, through a small door inside the room). When you leave, you open the garage door and usually workers enter the room to check that there is nothing missing or broken and they signal another worker to open the gate so that you can exit the Cabana complex.
If you want to check your luggage in some room and then go to Pasion, I don't think a Cabana is good for you. I don't recall seeing safes in the Cabanas I used. Helios looks good from the outside. Chica friendly hotel for about 60 dollars is Hotel Platino on Avenida Sadhalla Estrella which is across from some large University, this hotel would probably be a ten minute drive to Pasion.
Imperial Aparta Hotel, I don't know it. Cabanas are sometimes called Aparta Hotels, if I remember correctly.
For your needs either you need an honest taxi driver who will watch your luggage while it is in the car or some hotel that gives keys to the room.

[QUOTE=Kman1]Is pasions and the other clubs open on Mon night? if not what else is there in STI on a Monday?
thx[/QUOTE]The casinos are always open, but don't always sell alcohol. Sometimes there are pros in the El Gran Almirante casino. There is another casino in the Hotel Matum in front of the Monument. The pros walking around the monument late at night and on calle de sol near the Monument all appeared to be transvestites.
There are two other smaller casinos, one attached to the Hodepla Centro Plaza hotel, up the block from the McDonalds restaurant on Calle de Sol and across the street from the entrance of the Hodelpa Centro Plaza Hotel is another small casino I believe run by the Aloha del Sol Hotel.
At the opposite end of Calle de Sol from the monument is Francifol, a small higher end type bar (Expensive cars out front and guys inside buying bottles of champagne). Usually when you park in the street near any bar or restaurant, there will be guys in the street who expect a tip to watch your car. Good to have some small bills with you or dollar bills to give to them.
thanks Jaososua and BoricuaOnline. Given the feedback i will fly out of POP. Its just that AA charges more for multi city bookings (like $60 more to fly into STI and fly out of POP rather than roundtrip to either place).
I went to Santiago Dec 13-16 and stayed at Aloha Sol. 50$ per day and up, very guest freindly, they don't check for id, you just enter with your girl/girlsand thats it. I arrived Sunday and most places were closed. I went to Mc Donalds and on my way back saw a cute woman on shorts and t-shirt in front of HodelpaCasino. I looked at her for a few seconds and continue walking to my hotel and sat down at the lobby. I saw the girl a minute later in front of the hotel saying hi to an hotel employee. I know she was looking for me so I go out and walked slowly back in direction to Mc Donalds but stopped in the first corner. Suddenly the girl appeared, she was walking behind me. She asked for the time and I asked her about some place location. We began chatting and she told me she need money to do her hair. I told her I have some money into my room and that my back hurts a lot. She told me that she can give me a wonderful massage and some other wonderful things. I was near to make a deal with her when my Santiago novia called that she was on her way to the hotel. She arrived 5 minutes later so I can't do anthing with sexy girl on shorts. I never saw her again during the trip. Too bad. My novia stayed overnight during two nights, the other she invited me for a dinner at her aunts house on a barrio you have two walk in between the houses to go to her aunt's home. Nice dinner, the place was peaceful.
I won over $200 on Matum Hotel casino slots and I was happy! There are two good empanada places in front of the hotel. There is also a good unexpensive place for grilled meat and dominican food at one of the sides of Moctezuma bar.
There was an american guy which I calculate his age at near 80 talking with two pretty young girls at hotel lobby. Then he invited the girls, one of them speaks average English to eat and drink at hotel resturant, later he took the girls to his room. Hi did the same next day with another young chica. This man is my hero. He can barely walk but as some people say: a man with money is always young.
Santiago is DR second largest city, not developed into tourism but with lots of opportunities to met non pros. I met a girl on Las Colinas Mall store while my novia was doing her hair and I got a few french kisses from her. The store was in a recent devoloped area of the mall with a lot of empty commercial spaces so nobody saw us except some employees moving merchandise to a store to be opened soon. Later I was at the food court and a pretty busty girl sat at my table and a minute later we became friends. She gave me her phone # but never had the chance to see her during my Santiago stay. I met another girl at Mc Donalds ,a pretty girl that works there, the only one that uses the yellow polo shirt, her work is to serve meals. You order, sit and then she go to you once your order is ready. At El Encanto dept store I met two clients and have her # too. They notice I was a foreigner for one reason. Most dominicans in Santiago do not talk with the dominican accent you frequently find in the capital so it was not the way I talk, I talk similar to them. It was not skin color either. I was the only guy in the place wearing shorts. It is hard to find a dominican guy wearing shorts and hey told me that I looked like a tourist because of that. So, you go to the street, visit the places people visit, speak your best Spanish and I can guarantee you five Santiago chicas per day.

It is my impression that Las Colinas is Santiago biggest mall, good to meet locals. I consider the Mall to be small compared to Puerto Rico malls and prices on a lot of items are more expensive, I have never considered DR a good shopping destination. Jumbo is a large department store, can be compared in size to Walmart.

It is the biggest mall they have, two levels with a popular 4-plex cinema in the very back.
Walking from from front to back is about a 60 seconds walk. Side to side 45 sec.
[QUOTE=Dw1987]Thanks for the Pasions info.
One more question which of the Cabanas near there are nice and have room safes. Being that I will get there 4am or so I figure I will put my suitcases there and venture up to Pasions for hour or two then catch some sleep.
Or should I just get room at Imperial Aparta Hotel? Don't really like the idea of having my suitcases in a Taxi while I am inside the bar unless he is with me. Then I will venture to Sosua and New Garden during the day.[/QUOTE]A few photos of the room at Bora Bora Cabana.

Yes, Las Colinas Mall is Santiago's biggest mall, but also the least commercial (lots of empty, undeveloped spots). I would say that Plaza Internacional is more diverse and commercial. And yes, things are very expensive inside Colinas Mall, except in Jumbo.

Plaza Internacional is on Calle Duarte about two blocks off of Avenida Estrella Sadahalla. Calle Duarte is one block up from the Texaco gas station on Avenida Estrella Sadahalla. Attached to Plaza Internacional is MOMA bar which is nice bar. I believe there is a gym in Plaza Internacional. On Dia de Mercedes the shops were closed in Plaza Internacional. La Sirena (department store) was open on Dia de Mercedes.
I went to Pasion last night. About 30 chicas "available" but they weren't that good looking. Lots of 4,5,6's. I found one "almost" 7 (she had a weird black thing near her mouth; thinner and longer than a mole). 3500 for an hour incall; 4500 to take them out. I think it was 6000 for an 8 hour TLN.
The music was way too loud for me and it was very dark inside. Very hard to see the chicas. As I waited for a taxi outside a little after midnight lots of locals were coming in. I saw at least 30 women and not one of them would I call hot despite that claims that the Santiago women are the prettiest.
200 for a taxi from the center of town.

There are two other casas in Santiago, maybe the names are Ilusiones and Casa Blanca. I believe Ilusiones is either on Calle Duarte past Plaza Internacional or it is on the next street that has the Texaco gas station, Ilusiones may be on that road in the direction of Licey and Moca. A prior post in this thread gives better directions for those casas.
As Boricua online previously stated the authorities in Santiago closed numerous bars. Before you take a taxi ride, ask before hand whether the bar is open. Overlounge Bar has some cute chicas, it is not far from the El Gran Almirante Hotel.
I have never been to Pasion or Ilusiones or Casa Blanca.
Landing in Santiago at 3am and wonder if anyone else has had to wait for and take a bus to Sosua. If so where did you hang out and is it safe to stay at the airport until buses are running?
[QUOTE=Jack4765]Landing in Santiago at 3am and wonder if anyone else has had to wait for and take a bus to Sosua. If so where did you hang out and is it safe to stay at the airport until buses are running?[/QUOTE]
I'm told STI security frowns on those who hang around for 2-3 hours after clearing customs.
The following advice is from a Santiago resident (who posts on a non-monger DR board, and has never led me wrong).
Take a taxi to Supermercado Central. They're open 24/7 and they have a very nice, inexpensive little place to eat. You go in and turn to the right..can't miss it. Have a good breakfast. Then walk maybe 200--250 meters to the Caribe Tours terminal and sit on the bench outside until the place opens aroun 5:30am... then go inside and have have another coffee.
I Google-mapped the Supermercado and the Caribe station to confirm their proximity, and they ARE an easy, safe walk from one another (travel light, though). I'm told the buses for Sosua start departing at 6:15am.
I will be doing exactly this when MY flight arrives at 3am (Spirit from FLL, right?) on Sunday, Jan 3rd.
PS - I suggest paying for the board so that others can PM you.
I landed on that Spirit flight 3am and I did not what to do either.I figured law of averages one person(A GRINGO) would be taking this flight.I saw 3 Gringos one was going into mountains for vacation,the other to Puerto Plata and the 3rd and final one I asked was bound for Sosua had a cab and was also going to Sosua New Garden we shared a cab.Didnt get there till 6 am.Almost an hour through tourist card and customs.

Sorry my friend but the 7-10s come out and dance later. You know if they have to strip down nude in a packed house they have to have the parts to go along with the dance. If any other mongers go there wait for the show that's when the killer chicas come out trust me. Wait for it....wait for it......wait for it and then BANG!
I posted the below info b4!!
Now this is the killer. If I recall it was after 1am and the real show started.
They had chicas come out 1 at a time and strip dance down to nothing. Each chica dance to 2 or 3 songs, for about 6 to 9 minutes but dam who's counting. I had my mouth open the whole time. During the dance the guys in the club were throwing money out on the floor and walking on the dance floor slipping money in their g-string if they still had them on. When I say money I mean like $2 us or $100 peso. Whatever join in on the fun your on vacation that's how the girls make there money.
After the girls dance 1 at a time they took a break for 15mins and people continued to dance on the floor for another 20 min. Then 6 more chicas came out and dance 1 at a time.
By the end of the night I was so horny from dancing and looking at the performances I was ready to bust a nut in my pants.
Me any my wingman had a great time.

Thanks for the info Bigup. So, i guess a good plan would be to go to Illusiones first (or is it the same story there too?) and then to Pasions later around 1 or so. How much later would you have to wait to take a stunner home with you? Do they have to finish their stage shows? I am hoping to seal the deal under 4K pesos :))
Will the cabbies know these places by name?

The bar around the corner from Montezuma might be a nudie bar, it has posters of sexy chicas on the walls and the doors are blackened out. It is not open every night, it might only be open Friday and Saturday night.
Ilusiones from the directions given on this board appears to be at least 20 minutes away from Pasion.
If you are trying to go to Passions to grab a broad and leave the best time to go is when the club closes. When it cloase all the girls in the spot walk out to the front gate to see if they can negotiate them some kind of take home deal for the evening. That is the best deal for someone who justs want to grab a girl and go.

Joasousa since you appear to be the best photo man on this forum. If it's not to much to ask. Can you take some pictures of Pasion or Ilusiones during the day time hours. I still have my money on Pasion's being the best since I was there until the wee hours.
Another monger wrote that he left the Pasion club just after 12am......when he saw a great deal of women heading in. Lets all keep in mind that this is not Sosua. Most people in Santiago don't hit the clubs until after 12am.
Like I told another monger on here via private chat, wait for the nude dancers show it was well worth the wait. And might I add, yes it was dark in there since a great deal of married Dominican men with money role up in there. Well I can tell you this first hand when the show started all spot lights were on the nude dancers 1 by 1 they strip down....so you see everything.........and I do mean everything!!!!! (smile)
I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag, but one girl dragged a chair into the middle of the floor and dance around it. By the end of her dance she was sitting in the chair performing masturbation.
She wasn't really doing it, it was part of her performance. Myself and a few other mongers and might I add Dominican men ran up and made money rain on her that night. She got about $15 US notes off me for doing that. This how the dancers make their money.
Have fun and remember sharing is caring. If any other mongers head to STI write on your experience.
Bigup..........Don't forget me Joasousa were all counting on you. :o)

I believe that casino is operated by the Aloha Del Sol Hotel and I believe Aloha del Sol owns that parking lot. You may want to call the Aloha del Sol Hotel to confirm if they offer free parking.
Be careful parking in and around Calle de Sol, they have many parking meters and they are vigilant about giving parking parking tickets if you forget to put money in the meter. I once got a parking ticket and had to pay the fine at some office on Calle de Sol.
[QUOTE=I Jags]Is the Plaza walking distance to the Monument area? Thanks.[/QUOTE]It would be a long walk. From Hotel Matum to Plaza Internacional, I would estimate would be well over a 20 minute walk. From Hotel Matum which is in front of the monument, you would make a left, walk down the hill to Avenida Sadhala Estrella (about 5 blocks), cross over onto to the other side of Avenida Estrella Sadhalla and go left. From there I forget how many blocks over is Calle Duarte where you make a right and go up about two blocks to Plaza Internacional. I am fairly certain you can pull up Santiago on google maps. Use the link for Boricua online's google map (can be found in Reports of Distinction thread) and scroll up to Santiago.
I stayed there 3 days in November and the only complaints I had were my room didn't have enough lighting and my cell phone wouldn't get a signal.
When I checked in, they asked if I wanted to pay extra to have a guest stay with me (since my gf was next to me), but I refused and brought different girls anyways without them ever noticing. To do so, I always parked in the underground garage used by the casino, which has a direct connection to the hotel interior leading to the restaurant. From there, I would use the elevator and never be seen coming and going. However, if you decide to cross the hall and climb the stairs, people at the reception will see you.
Now, after reading reports that Aloha Sol is indeed girl friendly, I can't imagine why they would ask me that. I can only think they thought my gf was staying with me at all times. I just didn't want to take the risk of being overcharged, so I tried to conceal the goods.

There is a street about one block off the monument (sort of behind Kuka Macara bar/restaurant and Montezuma bar) that has several bars, at the end of that street there was a mass of people partying on the sidewalk and the street on a Saturday night. Supposedly Monte Bar is open every night.
Carnival usually runs on the weekends. There will be stands set up around the Monument for carnaval in Santiago. Hopefully it won't rain, I was there last year during carnaval and the rain put a damper on the festivities one Sunday.
You may want to drive the 30 minutes south and visit La Vega during carnaval, again on the weekends. Carnaval Vegano supposedly best in the country, guys go around with paddles and slap the asses of people.
[QUOTE=Powermax1]I am going with a pack of mongers to Santiago for Carnaval, 2-11 to 2-15.
Any suggestions on apartahotels, massage parlors with p4p, night clubs with regulars and quasi p4p?
Thank you
P.S. If you are also going during that time, we should mngr hang.[/QUOTE]Alberto's Suites, Calle Santomé Esq. (and) Vicente Estrella No. 23, 809 971 6005.
If you are looking for cabanas (short time room, 4 hours) there are at least 5 on the highway from santo domingo, probably Helios and Bora Bora are the nicest.
Guys I went to Pasion Night Club in Santiago the day after the earthquake. I wanted to give myself a second inspection since my last visit to see if it was beginners luck. All I can say is WOW again. This time we got there at 12:00am the show started at 1:00am. More or less it was the same girls in the club with a few more 6's and 9's that I didn't recall seeing on my last visit. From what I was told every girl dances at some stage during the week if they want.
The chica that was working on me informed me that she likes to dance on Thursday and Saturday nights, when more clients are in the club. To take her out she asked for $200 US.... I told her $140 since I know the club takes their cut from the girls. I guess my hard Di_k made it as so I couldn't distinguishes whether my actions were right or wrong at the time. It's my money and my vacation.
In reality I didn't over pay that's the cheapest price to get them out unless your Dominican. I really had no intentions in having company that night since I was heading back to Sosua the next day to pay half the price.
Most girls in Santiago that are 8's... 9's or 10's will fu_k a gringo at some stage or another...on the second or third date without paying any money, but I wasn't planning to stay there for another 72 hours. These girls normal call you a week later when your back home in the US asking for help.
If your like me just head to Pasions and get your freak on there or take her back to the hotel. On my previous post I stated that some rooms there have cameras for the girls protection. Hey maybe later on in a few years the owners of Pasions will sell the tapes to a international porn company and label the movies as Gringos in Paradise.

El gran almirante hotel has a large casino but it is about ten minutes from the monument.
Some working girls can be found in the casino at the el gran almirante hotel.
Carnival usually runs every weekend throughout February. Google Carnival Vegano.
Jaosoua,
Diamonte is what the Casino reads@Matum
Yea I know where the Amirante is drove past it Monday there is new American resteraunt next to it like A TGI fridays or something. What was confusing is the Name of the Casino by the Monument that a joins a different Hotel Matum.

I went into that casino, one night late, I didn't see any obvious looking working girls. Some older women playing the slots and other folks gambling. There is a popular empanada stand in front of that casino for outdoor eating. The chicas walking around the monument late at night all appear to be she males.
There is a Fridays restaurant adjacent to the hotel el gran almirante, good clean modern restaurant, has about 7 televisions above the bar with sports. You can park outside the el gran almirant hotel for free, or use the underground parking lot for free. If you use the underground lot the security guy gives you a plastic card and when you leave the lot you return the card.
Inside the el gran almirante casino there are ATM machines, a safe place to withdraw cash. Some working girls can be found inside the gran almirante casino.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]There is place that has kitchenettes. Cabanas are sometimes called aparta hotels. I'll have to search for the name of the place with the kitchenettes, supposedly near the monument and not expensive.
Supposedly only three places with readily available p4p chicas in santiago, pasions, ilusions and casa blanca. I'll be in santiago this month.
Regular bars with chicas, best nights are Friday and Saturday, earlier in the week many bars are not open. MOMA is nice, also Francifol, Tribeca and Monte Bar. I had fun in las colinas rancho tipico, I was with some chica who I had just met. Platinum was a big bar, kind of dead the night I went there. Some chica told me h20 bar is good.

Climate right now is perfect however. And I haven't been to Passions and may check it out only once in my 2 months here..
[QUOTE=Forest]I certainly do not think that every women in Santiago is willing to have sex for money. In this case, I was told by my taxi driver that he had a female friend who worked there as a masseuse, and that, in fact, she offered the happiest of endings.
I was misinformed.
As for Gold's being the same Gold's gym that we have in the USA- it really is not. It's the Dominican variety, and that is quite different.
But I have to agree with Negro562 on one thing- Santiago has amazing women, who are amazingly available. Not every woman is a *****, but a large number of them are "non-pros", who will occasionally screw a foreigner for money. In fact, I spent an entire evening with a woman like this on my last visit. I met her through an old friend, and through a conversation that mostly consisted of not-so-subtle innuendo, we agreed on a P4P night. Price was never discussed, she treated me like a boyfriend (despite our age difference of about 30 years) but in the end, clearly expected a cash present. And, if one has time enough to start up an internet romance, the possibilities in Santiago are overwhelming. I met one of the most beautiful women I have ever known, and she fucked me senseless for "free".
I am a real fan of this city and highly recommend it to anyone who has both the time and command of the Spanish language.[/QUOTE]
And where did you see any of these hot women? I don't get it..I'm in shock how unattractive they are here.

I LOVE Santiago. ALWAYS have a great time there. Spend a few days in SDQ, very little in POP. But my heart belongs to STI!
I've stayed at Hodelpa Centro Plaza, I've stayed at Hodelpa Gran Almirante. I stayed at Albertos Suites for seven (7) days for LESS than $160. 00. (Not the Ritz Carlton but to each his own)
Don't want to argue or rebut the "ugly girls" in Santiago deal BUT I'm posting some pics with descriptions and YOU can be the judge. If you speak decent spanish you'll NEVER have to pay in another p4p oriented city unless you WANT to.
Only went to Pasions once. She was cute but bitchy. I got the last laugh as my load went in her nostrils and she ran to the bathroom gagging and cursing. I was on the bed LMFAO!
Otherwise what you do is get on ANY Latina website (It TOTALLY doesn't matter which), make contacts a few weeks out and be consistently in touch (5 mins a night on cheap phonecards just to say hello), NEVER tell exactly when you're coming in town. Just swap your sim with Claro or Orange when you get there and call. Go on dates with all of them (yes you pay for food but you BOTH eat right?!)
Some will take a couple days, some won't. P4p in between. It's that easy!
Here are pics and descriptions.
Deb1 = side by side to show the difference between website pic and real thing. We're eating at Camp David. Hotel and Resataurant overlooking Santiago.
Maria1 = Hairdresser, total sweetie. The room is at Hodelpa Gran Almirante (those who've been will recognize the carpet and curtains)
Angie1 = another hairdresser. Went to her shop in a barrio called "Cuesta Colorado" sweet girl, but slow to make moves. Have to be patient, it's worth it.
Marialuz = from dajabon but met me at her sisters house in STI. Pics do her NO JUSTICE. Perfect arse and tits.
Me = me at the Aguilas Memorial at the bottom of Monumento de Restauracion. Kukara Maccara has great eats across the street.
Kumy1 = lives next door to Albertos. Never tagged her, she likes to "hang" with the american basketball players that come in town.
Albertos 1, 3, 4 = where I save money. $160. 00. 200. 00 a week (ac or no ac)meager accomodations, ants, noise. If you need the RITZ Carlton DON'T GO. Showers get Hot, bed changed upon request AND daily. Never had any theft. Locked things only in my suitcase. Computer left out etc.
The girls here aren't ugly and I don't care WHAT type of girl you like. Euro White To Haitian Black are here to be had with a kind approach.
I'm sure some will rebut but in all seriousness. I have MANY STI stamps in my passport. I was there during the Presedential elections arguing with the locals about race and politics. I was there during the Aguilas race to the championship with a Big Aguilas Bandera in the streets day and night. I walk through the HOODS like I'm from there. No concern about ladrones because I'm not flashy and I mind my business.
I'm a personal trainer and I think thta the golds there is just Great. The equipment is a little older but not all of it and not by much. My workouts are intense and EVERYTHING I needed was there.
This is of course all opinion and My experience but I'll KEEP going to STI. With bus rides to SDQ, and POP for a weekend of p4p and then back to STI for enamoradas that cook and drain your ball sack.

Very nice report and pix. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you like to enjoy yourself on these trips much like I do. I'm not a huge baseball fan but I'm always fascinated by the local scene in the DR & Colombia (Caribbean coast). I also liked; "arguing with the locals about race and politics". Shows you can do it and still have fun without pissing them off "too" much.
Allow me to suggest to the forum another of my favorite routines that I suspect you've done also: Take a girl to the gym in the afternoon, work out yourself some but more important, train her for an hour or so, then back to your place for beer or wine, showers, and sex.
Priceless.
All the best, Schwmm.

Just wondering for those that have stayed in STI during Good Friday were any of the clubs like Pasions, Ilusones (sp?) open at all? Also what about the bars and shops? I am asking as two wingmen and I will be staying at the Hotel Aloha Del Sol on April 2nd (good Friday) and checking out the next day. Just wanted to have an idea, as to whether our trip will be more sightseeing or actually seeing chicas around. Your info is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Nothing is open on Good Friday, colmadons might be serving but most places are dry.

Went to FLL (Fort Lauderdale) to catch that flight to Santiago. The flight was delayed 2 hours because the plane was coming out of NY. A snow storm delayed departure out of FLL.
They have the ugliest flight attendentants, they looked like they just left a bar fight. Then when I sat down my knees were touching the seat in front of me(I'm only 6 feet).
Then as we taxi for departure I hear, squeek squeek squeek, its the wheels turning. Then the pilot hit every air bump he could. Wearrived at 5am because of the delay and I rent a car and drive the hour to sosua.
My biological clock never adjusted, I came on a Thursday but I changed my flight out to american out of pop. I was supposed to leave Monday but I left Saturday. The aa flight one way was more than round trip on spirit, but it was worth it.
I heard that too, Spirit has no leg room.
I flew Continental a few times, also not much legroom.
My last trips I have flown JetBlue, much more legroom, no first class or business class on JetBlue. On Jetblue you can choose your seats online and pay 40 dollars extra to sit in the first few rows near the front or near the emergency exit, those rows have extra legroom.
I read somewhere that there is an aviation rule, that requires airplanes to have a certain amount of pilots and flight attendants depending on how many seats are on the airplane. The reason Jetblue has more legroom is because they have fewer seats on their airplanes and thereby save money by not having to have extra aircraft personnel on board each flight.
I believe Jetblue flies to Dom Rep from Orlando, Florida.

Jetblue has 4 direct flights from New York to Santo Domingo per day. They have other flights that stop in Orlando or Ft. Lauderdale or San Juan.
Last time I checked American Airlines had only one direct flight from New York, JFK to Santo Domingo.
The one advantage that American Airlines has it allows you to check two suitcases free of charge. On Jetblue only one free checked suitcase.
Flight attendants on Jetblue have been pleasant the times I used them. No meals on Jetblue, they offer soda, juice, dunkin donuts coffee and snacks for free. They usually have two free movies that show on the screens attached to the back of the seats, along with television channels and Sirius radio when they are in range of the united states. I'll take the flight that gets in at 5:50am in the morning, to get as much time on the ground as possible.
In JFK, they keep the duty free shop open late for the 12:50 am flight, the place to buy water, soda and packaged sandwiches is also open late at the jetblue terminal, all the other shops are closed at that hour.

One night I came into the gran almirante around 4am with a non-pro chica. The gran almirante has an underground parking garage. I parked my car in the underground lot and entered the hotel from the parking garage and took the elevator up to the floor where my room was. I exited the elevator and there was a security guy patrolling my floor. I entered my room with the chica no problem. I woke up with the chica around 8am and I drove her home. I took the elevator to the basement floor where the parking garage is located with the chica, got my car and drove her home. With that chica I totally bypassed walking in front of the lobby desk (I am sure they have cameras).
About 4 hours later a different chica came to visit me, I met her outside and we walked in the front doors and past the lobby desk and went to my room. No problem.
If you can, try to meet some santiago chicas online before you go. Nightlife in Santiago is better Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I was with two chicas in MOMA bar and I saw a few groups of chicas without guys one Friday night. MOMA bar is attached to Plaza Internacional (a big shopping mall) on calle duarte off of Ave Estrella Sadhalla.
Francifol bar at the end of calle de sol was small and all the chicas seemed partnered up. Monte Bar is a fairly big place, small metal tables with a stage for live music and a small dance floor. Usually groups of Dominicans go to Monte Bar. Tribeca Bar is a relatively small bar with good service (the people who work behind the bar were very nice and there was valet parking), I saw chicas there without guys, however by the end of the night (3-4am) in Tribeca, all the chicas, even the really big fat ones, where getting grinded by some Dominican guys. H20 bar is supposedly good but I have never been there. I have never been to Passions in Santiago. Las Colinas Rancho Tipico is a big open air type place with cheap tables, large presidente cervezas for 75 pesos with throw away small plastic cups. Variety of people in Las Colinas Rancho Tipico, if you dance merengue, you might be able to hook up there, it is not a fancy place. I also went to Platinum Bar and it was dead.
Overlounge is a medium sized bar sometimes with live music, I saw some attractive chicas in Overlounge.

My SOS on Pasion club
Guys I went to Pasion Night Club in Santiago the day after the earthquake. I wanted to give myself a second inspection since my last visit to see if it was beginners luck. All I can say is WOW again. This time we got there at 12:00am the show started at 1:00am. More or less it was the same girls in the club with a few more 6's and 9's that I didn't recall seeing on my last visit. From what I was told every girl dances at some stage during the week if they want.
The chica that was working on me informed me that she likes to dance on Thursday and Saturday nights, when more clients are in the club. To take her out she asked for $200 US.... I told her $140 since I know the club takes their cut from the girls. I guess my hard Di_k made it as so I couldn't distinguishes whether my actions were right or wrong at the time. It's my money and my vacation.
In reality I didn't over pay that's the cheapest price to get them out unless your Dominican. I really had no intentions in having company that night since I was heading back to Sosua the next day to pay half the price.
Most girls in Santiago that are 8's... 9's or 10's will fu_k a gringo at some stage or another...on the second or third date without paying any money, but I wasn't planning to stay there for another 72 hours. These girls normal call you a week later when your back home in the US asking for help.
If your like me just head to Pasions and get your freak on there or take her back to the hotel. On my previous post I stated that some rooms there have cameras for the girls protection. Hey maybe later on in a few years the owners of Pasions will sell the tapes to a international porn company and label the movies as Gringos in Paradise.

I certainly respect that it is your money and your vacation, & you had time constraints. Once you learn a little Spanish you can fuck carwash chicas for 1/4 of those numbers you listed. If I wanted to bang $200 chicas, I would do so right in my backyard.

-Helpmann :D
Yea I know Buscemi, but when a monger goes to these types of clubs...Pasion in Santiago and Crystals in POP or La Passions in Sosua.......you will not get the girls out for nothing less. Remember the clubs have to get there cut and the girls get the rest. I was only in town for a night before heading back to Sosua to pay my 1500 to 2000 peso.
For $140 she did everything including anal, which was a shock to me. Almost felt like I was in Brazil with that rate.
Good Mongering

Many Santiago chicas are GREEDY. For P4P in Santiago, there are not a lot of easy options.
Hey,
Can you suggest a good chica friendly hotel in Santiago not more than 40$ a day?
Thank you
Guys, I am Canadian.
Paying a Dominican p*uta that kind of money ( 160) is robbery.
In Canada cities ( not Toronto or Calgary) you can EASILY get a good-looking girl for that price.
Remember : if American gringos don't dish out that kind of money they won't pocket it from a Dominican guy.
how about a 2-day strike from all American gringos for just ONE week-end and you WILL see the prices falling down like mangos from a Dominican mango tree.
You guys can SPOIL the game for all or teach a lesson or two to these Dominican p*tas.
Remember, a Dominican hotel receptionist earns less than that for a week's wages.

I agree. But there are plenty of guys in DR who are mongering who probably never read this board. I have in the past over paid, sometimes the little head does the decision making. It happens, impulse buying and overpaying. Mix in alcohol, lack of sleep, foreign country with a foreign language and horniness,
and over paying will sometimes occur.
I try not to overpay, I can understand when a guy may overpay.

Alberto's Suites does NOT have a sign on the outside but it does have a red wine small awning on the outside, the only indication of a hotel or suites.
A black metal door gets electrically opened by the receptionist and you get to push a second glass door to go registering with the receptionist.
You then go up some stairs for the second or third floor.
You need to bring your own plates, cutlery and kitchenware if you want to use the kitchen available in every suite.
It is clean, with air-conditioning and fan in your bedroom and a double bed. Cable TV is also included.
It does not provide Wi-Fi internet access but go to a small cafe-restaurant opposite the Liceo Onesimo on the same street and you get free internet acces for ordering some food and or drink.

The price quoted a few days ago by the manager was 1 300 pesos dominicanos per night. It is negotiable if you are going to stay for long period as I understand some clients of the hotel spend weeks or months.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]Thanks for the info, good post. Do you remember the approximate price?
Thanks[/QUOTE]
If you are looking for night spots when in Santiago, I recommend going to AHI BAR about 5 minutes'walking distance from Alberto's suites or the Independence Monument in Santiago.
AHI bar is an open air bar restaurant where office workers and good middle class Dominicans go for a Presidente beer or to order some food. Large screens TV provide entertainment such as music video and sports such as basketball.
Chicks come in groups of twos or fives from 8 pm to midnite to enjoy themselves and eventually meet boys.
The food is decent and not too expensive such as 125 for a glass of red wine or 120 pesos dominicanos for a vegetable soup of brocolis and carrots with a basket of sliced french breads included.
Other bars can be spotted around from live bands to recorded music on Fridays and Saturdays. Thursdays are quiet as Dominicanos do not seem to go out on that day.
[QUOTE=Victorn]The price quoted a few days ago by the manager was 1 300 pesos dominicanos per night. It is negotiable if you are going to stay for long period as I understand some clients of the hotel spend weeks or months.[/QUOTE]Thanks, good price.
Being new to the scene in RD , I would welcome any explanation of food and bar bills .
Adding Itbs at 15% and Ley at 10% really increases your food or bar bill by 26% or more than a quarter of the food or drink price listed on the menu.
Is there ANY way to avoid ONE of these taxes as it really adds up to your final bill ?
I visited on a Sunday evening (about 11 p. M) a place called BARAJANDO BAR DE LA BRASA in the area of the Independence Monument.
I was pleasantly surprised to find live and recorded music with good availability of chicas, sometimes 2 gals with a guy or tables of 2s or 3s chicas looking for some male dancing partners and friendship.
I was even approached by the mother of 2 chicas who proceeded to ask me for my phone number. Others were smiling or looking in my direction.
But after a night before sexual session, I knew I had no energy that night to provide.
Guys, go check the place!
A place to go and meet non-pros is a restaurant-bar called CACE SALUD on Calle El Sol, corner of Daniel Espinal.
It is a long and large terrace that can accommodate 200 people ; plastic chairs and metal tables with about 12 TV screens on mainly sports .
Many couples and groups of girls come to be seen and to see ; from 18 to about 35 years old , tight jean pants, high heels and ready to smile back at you if you indicate some interest.
I ordered a small Mediterranean salad : 290 pesos or 8 American dollars ; really expensive in Santiago. Add the taxes , it comes to 363 pesos or more than 10 U.S. dollars.
To be frank, the salad was not worth the price but you get to see and admire a number of Dominican beauties all ready at a sign to join you at your table or join them.
It's in the area of the Independence Monument.

A few Santiago chicas told me told me you can get a dinner of rice, beans and chicken for 80-100 pesos. Prices at places near the Monument are always higher. I will ask my Santiago friends for the locations of low cost eating places.
Good posts, after reading your posts, I now have more places I want to visit in Santiago. Thanks.

On calle de sol, I know Francifol bar and Tette Bar. Tette Bar is a nice high end type of place, up calle de sol from Ave. Juan Pablo Durte on the right side of calle de sol, about two blocks from the monument. Francifol is at the other end of calle de sol, further away from the monument.
I was told a place called Jardines is nice in Santiago, I am not sure of its location but I will find out.

I use the link for for boricua online's google map and then scroll up to Santiago. The google map for Santiago is a little weird, it does not show the road around the monument.

I don't know the exact location, but if you are around the Monument, I am sure you can ask someone for the location of Aybar.
Well, I did go on a Saturday evening at 10:30 p.m. to check Francifol bar .
Four or five waiters were out on the sidewalk leading to the bar. The place was dark inside, no light, no TV, no music.
One waiter informed me to come back a little while later to meet sexy Dominicanas.
I waited patiently at the park nearby for half an hour and returned to find Dominican couples getting out of their cars to get in like me and would leave immediately on discovering like me there was NOBODY in.
I have to say the place looked plush and comfortable but for some reason the managers and the waiters did not decide to light up the place, put on some exciting video music.
I would not recommend the place for lack of patrons that particular night.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]On calle de sol, I know Francifol bar and Tette Bar. [/QUOTE]
Jaosousa,
This Aybar sounds like the AHI-BAR I reported on a few posts below.
AHI-BAR is in the area around the Independence Monument and does carry food and drinks at reasonable prices 100 - 150 pesos; I am glad to report the service is fine, the clients a sympathetic crowd.
Chicas seem to come alone and visit the place any weeknight.

The night I went to Francifol, the place was packed, lots of expensive cars parked outside. I had no room to move inside Francifol. There weren't any single chicas there that night, the chicas were all partnered up, I had one beer and exited.
I have had pizza at a place on Ave. Juan Pablo Duarte, about 3 blocks north of calle de sol, cross street could be Independencia (about two blocks below the monument). Pizza was ok, the price was reasonable.
Ahi-Bar is listed on the google map for Santiago, It is on Calle R. Tolentino and calle restauracion, one block off the monument, around the corner from Montezuma bar. Calle R. Tolentino has several bars, one Saturday night a bar on Calle R. Tolentino had a bunch of people outside, almost blocking the roadway. There is some kind of bar 20 feet from Montezuma Bar, that has pictures of sexy women on the outside it is on calle beller. I have never been inside that place, not sure what goes on inside there.
Hi all, appreciate the reports. Jaosousa seems to list a lot of bars and some strip clubs. Is there a short list of just strip clubs in the area? I also will be as Gran Almirante as mentioned by another poster but prefer to "eat out", not take home.
I would love to find a selection of strip clubs from "anything goes", up to more classy that I can tour through on my upcoming visit.
My off hours I will definitely hit some of those open air restaurant bars for possible non pro chats.
thanks again
Montezuma Bar & Grill provides LIVE music on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The place is classy, on 2 floors with good service.
An idea of the prices : a glass of red wine will set you back by 96 pesos plus taxes; I recommend their " croquetas de pollo " or 6 pieces for 95 pesos served with a thick sauce for dipping.
Location : Bellerw, Area Monumental ( by the Independence Monument)
Yes, there is a stripper club on the opposite side of the street called Obsession, apparently with nude male & female dancers. I passed it by , looked briefly inside and saw some tall fake blond chica but did not stop.

Passions is on the main highway when coming from to Santo Domingo or heading to Santo Domingo from Santiago. I have read that Passions is located next to Cabana Zeus (not a very glamorous cabana located near some electric power lines).
Casa Blanca and Ilusiones are located on the same road, it is a road that heads toward Moca. It is a road off of Ave Estrella Sadhalla, I am fairly certain it is the road where there is a Texaco station (the texaco station sits on the corner of Estrella Sadhalla and Ave. 27 de Febrero), go east on Avenida 27 de Febrero. I am fairly certain Casa Blanca and Ilusions are on this road going east after the Texaco station.
Boricua Online has pinned the location of Passions on his sdq google map, just scroll up to Santiago using this link:
[url]http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&ie=UTF8&ll=18.480627,-69.965143&spn=0.009891,0.019248&z=16&msid=106767774275556555984.00046d685b11334063b43&mid=1246199584[/url]
The place around the corner from Montezuma Bar, I don't know what goes on in there, I saw posters of sexy women on the walls of that place. Some bars only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Compared to Santo Domingo, Santiago has much less open and available p4p action.

Monte Bar gets a variety of people. I saw a 65 year old Dominican guy dancing romantically with some 20 year old chica in Monte Bar.
Occasionally I have seen chicas hanging out in Montezuma Bar early around 5-6 pm.
Thanks for the info. I showed the name and address to the taxi and he took me right there. Loaded and boring as nobody was doing an thing. I realize they get started late. Eventually lots of chuncky and some very nice looking girls were there and eventually dancing.
Took me forever to figure it out but here is the deal. You can bar fine them and leave or use the rooms they have in the back. Pay 500 peso for the bar. Then they use that to pay the room. 2000 for the girl (she asked for 3,000 then 2,500.) I also bought her drinks during this whole process. Depending who takes your order, beer can be 150-225. Overall the rooms are decent with a shower.
Hope to try another place tomorrow.

Nce report my friend.
Try Passion Night Club top club in Santiago everyone knows it and also Casa Blanca after that car washes are places to pick up girls (hermanos gomez diaz for example).
Waiting for your other reports.
Good luck
Guys,
Illusions Is close by where jaosousa said in the report below. (Casa Blanca and Ilusiones are located on the same road, it is a road that heads toward Moca.

it seemed to be down the street further. I took a taxi and I saw the texaco about a 1/4 mile down the road. Sorry if this is not specific enough, I will have to get a biz card next time and tell you exactly.
The hermanos place is the name of the car wash? Will a taxi know what I am talking about if I ask to go there?

When I am searching for pay for play places with chicas, I ask, donde es un casa con chicas (or casa de citas, House of Dates or appointments). All taxi drivers in DR understand that. I have stopped and asked guys in the street that same thing and 100% of time they tried to give me directions to a pay for play chica place. Car wash is called a Car Wash in DR. A car wash in DR is usually also a bar. On the weekends many dominicans with their families go to a Car Wash to drink beer and usually watch live entertainment (many a car wash will have live music). I have read posts where guys pick up p4p chicas at the Car Wash. In Santiago it is worth a try to check out the Car Wash that the other member named.
I have read good things about passions, I have read it gets good later in the night. It is on a main highway, so I wouldn't be worried about visiting that place. Pasion is about ten minutes or less from the monument.
I saw some hooker looking chick around texaco (the one mentioned previously) and texaco has a car wash. Could it be?

We will be waiting for your reports brother.[/QUOTE]
I went to Passions last summer and a full nude strip show begun by 1 am, some of the hottest girls I ever seen. There are also girls walking around offering their services. I was with a chica that day so I did not sample, beers are expensive, almost 300 pesos for a large one, but ice cold. No cover charges. It is a large place where people also dance with their couples.
So I walked toward the texaco and it was late and closed. I walked another block and saw a regular car wash. Also closed and nobody there. I walked up the street toward the al materno infantile, the infant hospital.
Across the street I saw 2 girls sitting at the Sandra fast food stand. One waved to I walked over and sat. Long chat later one can speak English and helped me hook up with the other. The one who speaks English actually works at the stand. I bought a beer for the girl then agreed on a massage.
We went in a taxi called Hony Taxi (missing the r) number 202. He drove us about 6-8 minutes up past Pegasus hotel to a place that looks like apartments.
Drove in the complex directly to a garage. Went in, ,into a hotel looking room and locked the door. Then someone calls the room and takes a drink order. She asked me if its ok and she ordered a beer and cigarettes. The bill was 549. I guess that is why the room was "free".
Taxi number:809-971-7799
The massage lasted about 5 minutes before she asked me to turn over and she made it clear what she really wants to do. We did and I think i overpaid. I paid strip club prices... 2,000. I am afraid I might be screwing prices up. I think it should have been half.
Her attitude was great. The taxi came and drove us back. 150 each way in the taxi.

When you visit Pasions, you will pass by 6-7 cabanas, bright lights and big signs for the cabanas (also called aparta hotels). The way the cabana works is that you drive into the entrance of the cabana complex, you will see many garage doors, some will be open and some will be closed. If you are driving your own car, you pull into an open garage opening, exit your car, push the button on the inside wall of the garage opening to close the garage door, from there you enter the room. The phone will ring and the person will ask if you want something to eat or drink. After about 5 minutes you will hear a tapping on a small metal door in the wall. You open that small door and your drinks will be there along with the bill usually in a black folding thing. You put you money inside the opening of the small door and wait for change. I usually tip them 10-20 pesos. They don't see you and you don't see them.
I saw a sign for Ethos (or Ethics) Cabana in santiago for 99 pesos, less than 3 dollars for a 4 hour room rental. Bora Bora Cabana executive room was the nicest room I used in the cabanas in santiago, price was around 800 pesos.
The 549 pesos you paid was a good price, a regular size pack of cigarettes is about 100 pesos (they also sell those mini packets of cigarettes), a large presidente around 75 pesos. Appears the price for the room you used was around 375 pesos, good price. Did the room have a sex chair?
No chair. Sounds interesting. I'll see what tonight brings. Thanks for all the tips.

Nice place, lots of comfy outdoor seats and some stunning girls, and a lot of normal ones.
Was quoted 3,000 which is more than Ilusion so I passed.
Ended up back at the roadside cafe place and made a "date" for today. Today the date shooed up at my place, full on shower and FS fun til I had to leave for an unrelated engagement. She asked me for beer money and that is it. I pulled a small roll of 100's from my pocket and gave them to her. She seemed satisfied.
Moma is a nice place. Lots of stunners show up and seem to be fishing for proper dates. I was there with a gaggle of other girls so I couldn't hit on anyone. Should work out if you go there and have some game. Definitely non pro action there.
Wednesday is ladies night. I would try that because girls get some sort of free drinks. Get them drunk and try your luck. Unfortunately I won't be here wed so I can't. Good luck.
If all else fails, walk down the street to the roadside cafe mentioned before (it's like a block away on the opposite side across from the infant hospital) and ask the heavy set black girl with a sweet face if she has friends who can offer massage. She will call someone and take you to a cabana. Don't tell her someone told you, just tell her you did it before. (be discreet incase her boss is there)
Have fun.
I agree, it is a nice place. Not too crowded, if you smoke cigarettes, they have an outdoor part with tables and chairs where you can smoke. Lots of free parking in the parking lot in front of the shopping mall which is part of the same building.

You are really doing your thing in Santiago which is a city that needs to be explore more. How many days do you have left on your trip?
Please try Passion Night Club since I want to know how is the line up. If you go on Monday is kind of tough because they have a live band every monday so it becomes regular night club / f@#$ house. Every other day just f@#$ house.
Good luck

[QUOTE=Stebo419]Does anybody knows how long is the bus ride from Santigo to Sosua and the price. Where do you catch the bus from.[/QUOTE]
It's about 120 pesos if I remember correctly and you can catch the bus downtown in Santiago. Just ask anyone when you get in the city, just say...ŋdónde está la estación de autobuses? it's not far from the casino.

I have done a few screen captures from the google map of Santiago showing the locations of Caribe Tours and Metro Bus stations. Metro bus will put you into in the El Batey section of Sosua (better). Caribe Tours will let you off in the Charamicos section of Sosua.
Appears Caribe tours has two locations in Santiago, I will have to ask some Santiago chicas if both of those locations pick up and let off passengers. The second caribe tours location is just north of the Metro Bus station, but I don't know if that is a passenger terminal for Caribe Tours.
If you look at the google map for Santiago you can zoom in and out and see the names of the roads much clearer. When resizing the screen captures to post here, the images are very small.
MT=Metro Bus Station (one block off of ave salvador estrella sadhalla, avenida Maimon, between Ave. Juan Pablo Duarte and Ave. 27 de Febrero)
CT= Caribe Tours (one location is in the northwest part of Santiago, Ave. Las Americas off of Ave. 27 de Febrero)
MN=Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration (big white monument, landmark in Santiago).
Appears from the google map that Caribe Tours has a location on avenida Maimon just north of the Metro Bus station, but I am not sure if that location is a passenger station.

Caribe Tours does indeed have two stops in Santiago. One stop is a normal stop and the other is a rest stop. The rest stop has a place to buy food and bathrooms. The rest stop is about 20 minutes.

The price is $RD 130 and the bus leaves from the Los Jardines stop every hour on the hour from 6am to 7pm.

According to their updated webpage, Santiago to Sosua, buses run every hour starting at 6am, last bus 7pm, according to the webpage the ticket price is 100 pesos (US $2.77). Los Jardines-Santiago to Sosua is 130 pesos.
The webpage lists Batey-Batey, however with no scheduled service to El Batey part of Sosua currently, maybe they are planning to have their buses stop in El Batey, Sosua in the future.
From the Caribe Tours webpage, Santo Domingo to Cabo Haitiano (Cap Haitian, on the north coast) ticket price is 40 pesos (US $1.11), that is a long ride.
Does anyone know if the have any clubs to pick up girls in Santiago for the night? Me and my friend are arriving in Santiago for the night and planning to leave in the morning.
Are there any spots that stay open throughout the night to pick up chicas?
Also are there any love motels for a short time?
Thanks

Passions is a dance club, strip club, and chica club. You can go with your chica and dance to live or stereo music, or meet a girl there. There are girls offering their sexual services on site. A strip show begins at 1:00 am, the place closes late.
There are a lot of clubs in Santiago but can't affirm that they are like clubs in Sosua, I have never been in Sosua.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Depends what day of the week you will be there. When I was in Santiago, Monte Bar in Las Colinas was open every night. Monte Bar is a big place usually with live music, it is a normal bar. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the best nights for normal bars in Santiago. Passions I have read is open every night. On the same road as Passions there at least 6 cabanas, which are hotel type places for 4 hour hour room rentals, to get your groove on.
Casa Blanca and Ilusiones are places with pro chicas. MOMA Bar, Tribeca Bar, H20 Bar, Overlounge are normal bars, there are others.
Hotel El Gran Almirante is the most expensive hotel in Santiago, it has a large casino, occasionally pro chicas hang out in the casino there.
Any questions just ask, there have been good posts here recently about Santiago, just read back a few pages.
[QUOTE=Madd Love]Alcazar Gran Almirante Hotel, Estrella Sadhalá and Calle 10
[/QUOTE]Alcazar Bar didn't exist when I stayed at the Gran Almirante Hotel. Appears it is a new place. Not sure where they would locate it inside the hotel. When I stayed there that hotel had about three small restaurants behind the lobby desk, adjacent to the casino (one was a small tapas restaurant). If you go there and it is not happening, Overlounge Bar (sounds like Ober Bar when Dominicans say it) is close to El Gran Almirante Hotel. Also MOMA bar is not too far away from El Gran Almirante Hotel.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be there Friday night/saturday early morning.
Passions sounds ideal since I was told on this forum its a club and also a strip bar. I was hoping to find places like classico's in sosua. But I will definitely check out some of the spots you mentioned and report when I get back.
I plan on driving there, is it far from the airport? Do you know the address?
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]Passions, Casa Blanca and Ilusions are the three places that I know of in Santiago, I have not been to any of them. Passions is on the main highway when coming from to Santo Domingo or heading to Santo Domingo from Santiago. I have read that Passions is located next to Cabana Zeus (not a very glamorous cabana located near some electric power lines).
Casa Blanca and Ilusiones are located on the same road, it is a road that heads toward Moca. It is a road off of Ave Estrella Sadhalla, I am fairly certain it is the road where there is a Texaco station (the texaco station sits on the corner of Estrella Sadhalla and Ave. 27 de Febrero), go east on Avenida 27 de Febrero. I am fairly certain Casa Blanca and Ilusions are on this road going east after the Texaco station.
Boricua Online has pinned the location of Passions on his sdq google map, just scroll up to Santiago using this link:
[url]http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&ie=UTF8&ll=18.480627,-69.965143&spn=0.009891,0.019248&z=16&msid=106767774275556555984.00046d685b11334063b43&mid=1246199584[/url]
The place around the corner from Montezuma Bar, I don't know what goes on in there, I saw posters of sexy women on the walls of that place. Some bars only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Compared to Santo Domingo, Santiago has much less open and available p4p action.

I always use boricua online's google map when I want to see a map of the dominican republic for directions: [url]http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&ie=UTF8&ll=18.480627,-69.965143&spn=0.009891,0.019248&z=16&msid=106767774275556555984.00046d685b11334063b43&mid=1246199584[/url]
He has pinned the location of Passions. From the airport maybe a 10-15 minute drive. When you exit STI airport take Avenida Victor Manuel Espaillat to Autopista Duarte and make a right on Autopista Duarte. Probably within 10 minutes or less on Autopista Duarte you will see a sign for Zeus Cabana (it will be on your right when heading into Santiago City), make a right on the road where the sign says Zeus Cabana is located. I never went to Passions, but from the Google map it is right after Zeus Cabana. You should see large electrical power lines near Zeus Cabana, Passions should be right after Zeus Cabana. I used Zeus Cabana one time, it was not a very glamorous cabana, price was around 400 pesos for 4 hours.
To get into Santiago after Passions you will take the same side street past Zeus Cabana and when you get to Autopista Duarte you will make a right onto Autopista Duarte, you will see more Cabanas that have large signs, Helios, Bora Bora and others. Autopista Duarte will bring you to the Monument in Santiago.
If you are already in the central part of Santiago and you want to visit Passions, you want to take Autopista Duarte going south in the direction of Santo Domingo. Same thing, you will pass Cabanas, Zeus Cabana will be on your left on the other side of the highway, when you are heading south in the direction of Santo Domingo.
I have been to Classicos in Sosua. From what I have read Passions doesn't have much interior lighting. From what I have read, asking prices by the chicas can be high, 100 US Dollars and up. I have had in the past, had Santiago chicas ask me to take them to Passions. Appears not all chicas you may encounter there are working girls.
I have only used Santiago airport twice. From answering your question I learned exactly where STI Airport is on the map.
Any questions just ask.

Thanks again, you have been a big help. I know you said you have not been to Passions, but is that the hottest club in Santiago? That's what I heard from reading about it, but I will definitely take your directions. After I head from Passions I will drive over to Sosua. I also agree with you a $100 is a bit high for a few hours in DR. Are there any other strip clubs you recommend that you might have been too?
I will definitely give you a report back on whats happening in Passions.
Does anyone know where this club is in DR? or what's the name?

The Club is called Passion. It's a strip club/dance club.
I was there a few months ago. You can bang the girls in the rooms they have there for $100 or you can take them out for $150. From what I understand........ for that price the club gets $50 and the girl gets the other $100. Crystals in Pop charges the same amount. I have yet to hear anybody on this forum say they got the girls out for anything cheaper.
Trust me you will not get it any cheaper unless your Dominican. You can, if you wish, deal with the ones that work the streets, which are on drugs or have the sickness. You can also go to the real clubs and try for the college girls, but they want you to spend 3 days and meet the family before they let down their defence.....after 3 days you can get it for free. They all want the US Visa.
I went there with a few friends I didn't go there with the intention of paying that price, but after a few Presidents my wallet was the last thing I worried about. I wasn't leaving that place to go back to Hotel El Gran Almirante and masturbate over a few dollars. If you are stronger then me wait until you drive to Sosua the next day to pay the $2000 to $2500 peso rate.
If you can't wait......... I recommend taking the girl out. #1 reason why, unless you want to see yourself on a porn tape....... I here some of the rooms have hidden cameras for the girls protection. Good luck
Also they have a strip show that starts at 1am. The girls in this club rank from 7 to 10. The girls in there are the Hottest.
Here are a few places of nightlife Santiago.
Passions is the place you can see near the plane wing.

If you can't wait......... I recommend taking the girl out. #1 reason why, unless you want to see yourself on a porn tape....... I here some of the rooms have hidden cameras for the girls protection. Good luck
Also they have a strip show that starts at 1am. The girls in this club rank from 7 to 10. The girls in there are the Hottest.[/QUOTE]
Thanks Bigup, Even though the prices are high, I will see what it is about, I feel the same way you do, why should i pay $100 for 1 or 2 hours when I can get it cheaper elsewhere in DR. But I will report back on the scene. Thanks for the info.

Always remember that cab drivers and male hotel employees are good source of information, there should be cheaper choices in the city.
[QUOTE=Madd Love]I'm actually going to miss the show at 1:00am. My flight arrives at 2:00am. I was hoping to hit a Passions since I heard its open most of the night.[/QUOTE]If you are renting a car, make sure the car rental company is open at 2am. If you rent a car and go directly to Passions, put everything in the trunk, out of sight. Around 4am most bars start to close and people go home. I don't know if your plans are to stay up all night and then drive to Sosua. If you are at passions when it closes, and you still want to explore, you could probably head over to Casa Blanca or Ilusiones. Some casas don't care, at what hour the client shows up at their doorstep. Casinos stay open late, they usually shut down around 6am. Be careful with pros you may see walking around the big white monument in Santiago. Many of those pros are transvestites.
[QUOTE=Bigup]The Club is called Passion. It's a strip club/dance club.
I was there a few months ago. You can bang the girls in the rooms they have there for $100 or you can take them out for $150. From what I understand. For that price the club gets $50 and the girl gets the other $100. Crystals in Pop charges the same amount. I have yet to hear anybody on this forum say they got the girls out for anything cheaper.
Trust me you will not get it any cheaper unless your Dominican. You can, if you wish, deal with the ones that work the streets, which are on drugs or have the sickness. You can also go to the real clubs and try for the college girls, but they want you to spend 3 days and meet the family before they let down their defence. After 3 days you can get it for free. They all want the US Visa.
I went there with a few friends I didn't go there with the intention of paying that price, but after a few Presidents my wallet was the last thing I worried about. I wasn't leaving that place to go back to Hotel El Gran Almirante and masturbate over a few dollars. If you are stronger then me wait until you drive to Sosua the next day to pay the $2000 to $2500 peso rate.

I never pay more than $4000RD, and usually pay around $3500RD. Anything higher and she's sticking you with the clueless gringo tax. Of course, there are some variables. Such as your looks, and how well you speak spanish. But the average guy who speaks decent spanish shouldn't be paying more than 4000RD to take girls out of there.
Just got back from DR.
I just want to say thanks for all the info you guys shared. Well first off my flight landed around 2am. Me and my friend had a reserve rental from nellyrac. When we finish passing through immigration there were different booths you could rent cars from. Come to find out that no one was at any of the rental car companies. We spoke to a few people that check bags right next to the rental booths, they told us to wait there about 20 minutes and someone would show up.
At this point me and my boy were getting impatient because we wanted to hit Passions in Santiago. My patience was wearing off quick. After waiting about 30 minutes and having no one show up we spoke to a few guys outside and they hook us up with a rental about 5 minutes away. We would have taken a taxi, but we would have no place to put our bags in the meantime, because we wanted to make it before they closed.
So we got get the rental by now its 3:10. :) Me and my boy is thinking about Passions and getting laid. We get to Passions about 3:25 and walk through the security clearance and the next thing we see is a butt naked chica on the middle of the stage. By this time all my frustrations and and anger from earlier had worn off. The Chica was hot. She was doing splits o the stage, nice body etc....me and my boy got a front row seat. It was no later than 5 seconds when two chicas approached and started grabbing on us.
Me as a long time monger was trying not to get with the first chica I see. I flirted a little bit and we told the girls we were going to the bathroom. That was our plan to shake off the aggressive chicas. There were definitly some dimes in there, I saw a few chicas that I would rate a 6 or 7, but for the most part the chicas were looking good. Also its true the minimum was $100 USD minimum to take out a chica. My boy opted to take one and I opted too. We had sex in just about every position in one of the cabins they have.
I actually did not know the chicas live in that place. Go figure? but anyway me and my boy was feeling good after our sessions. Right after that we drove to Sosua. We hit Sosua got some sleep and woke and started to hit a few bars in the afternoon. I forgot how aggressive the girls are in DR. I had to turn down 10 girls before I got to one. Sosua is definitly cheaper in my opinion, but I session with one chica and the deal was for two hours. We agreed for $35/2hrs. So we go back to my place and she immediately starts to show the goods. We took a shower, before we started washing each other she is sucking me off. So we do it in the shower and later in the bed. ( i want to ask you guys something, is it normal for chicas to take cold showers? every chica wanted a cold shower) Well back back to chica #1 in Sosua after we fuck in the bed the chica just starts laying there on the bed. I'm looking at the clock like WTF? we had a deal for only 2 hours. She starts to sleep. Most guys wouldn't mind, but I wanted a different chica and explore my options. I tried to be nice with this chica but and tried to get her to wake up, she kept saying si papi and sleeping again. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Well long story short, I noticed most of chicas that are feeling you want to stay with you no matter what the agreed price was. I managed to get Chica # 1 out of my hotel but I had to force her. I was just looking for a good time and not to wife up while I'm down there,............I will try to write some more of my trip
Good post. Most car rental companies are not open 24 hours at the airports in DR. Alamo at Santo Domingo Airport is open 24/7. Some of those chicas are like bears hibernating for the winter when they hit the bed. Nice air conditioned, quiet room is something many don't have on a daily basis.
How were the rooms at Passions in Santiago?

Watch out for the Passion girls. Last year I took a girl from there LT after discussing with the boss. Usually they do not allow.
But to my dissappointment this girl is a runner. After spending couple of hours with me she wanted to go home saying one thing or the other. i got tired of her rambling and let her go. after an hour I went to classico and there she was happily hunting. She had a guilty look but who cares. I took another girl from there who turned out to be a sweetheart.
How much is a taxi ride from STI airport to Aloha sol? I am spending one night in STI before I leave to POP. Wondering if I should rent a car instead of paying taxi from airport to aloha, aloha to pasions and back. I can then drive the car to Sosua next day and drop it off at POP airport. I checked with carrental site and there is no additional charge to dropping off at POP.

I promised Big Up, photos of Passions, so I may take a trip to see the place. I also have some friends in Santiago.
I have no clue on taxi prices in Santiago. I will be driving a car rental.
What prices are they giving you for a one day rental?
When I drove at night in Santiago, I never saw Policia Nacional stopping cars. I read recently that policia nacional are stopping cars in Santiago at night, I am not sure if it is true.
Renting a car or taking a taxi, will depend on how much drinking you want to do, and if you want to have to deal with the police if they pull you over after you have had a few beers. I haven't been in Santiago in a while, so I don't know if the policia nacional there are becoming like the ones in Santo Domingo. I will still drive.
Jet Blue prices from new york (jfk) to sti is $100 each way plus taxes, $6 dollars cheaper than SDQ.

Much intra city transfers cost from 100 to 150 pesos, to Passions which is outside the city can cost up to 250 pesos.
250 pesos is like 8$. thats not bad at all. Do you have to bargain? usually from POP airport to Sosua is like 25$, so I was thinking more in those lines.
I checked carrentals.com. Budget has cars for $20 a day but the taxes and fees are like 40$ even if you are renting for a day. The same site offers collision damage insurance for 11$ a day which is much less than if you buy from budget. So its like 70$ +gas to go around STI and drive to POP the next day.
I am flying in from Chicago to STI next week and flying back out of POP. So I was going to take caribe tours from STI to Sosua and then I had the car rental thought. I have done some driving in DR, from SD to Boca chica and little bit in Sosua, to caberte etc. Driving at night on the highways is pretty hard so I only plan to do that during the day. My spanish is pretty limited and i am traveling solo this time.

Santiago airport is almost inside the city, not a large ride to Aloha Sol.
If your flight gets in late at STI, the car rental office might be closed. A one day car rental, probably not worth it for $60-70 dollars (a one week rental is about $220). After you return the car at Puerto Plata Airport, you would have to pay a taxi to take you into Sosua.
You might be better off taking Metro Bus from Santiago. Metro Bus will let you off in El Batey, Sosua, about two blocks from New Garden Hotel. Caribe Tours will let you off in Charamicos, Sosua and you will have to take a taxi or moto to get to El Batey, Sosua.
From the Google map, appears the Metro Bus Station is off of Avenida Estrella Sadhalla. Aloha Del Sol hotel is less than 10 minutes from that bus station. Appears the Caribe Tours bus station in the northwest part of the city is further away from the Aloha Del Sol hotel.

It's about US$15. There used to be a sign with all the prices but it looked like it was erased. Travelling from any airport in the DR always will be higher than traveling inside the city. That is why it costs $25+ from POP to Sosua and $20 from SDQ to Boca Chica.

Excellent. thanks. so I guess Metro bus would be the best option. I hope I got this right - Santiago Municipal is STI. Some sites refer to cibao airport as STI. man its confusing.
Next question i have, are there any hotels by STI and Pasions? i saw Hodelpa Garden court but it might be out of my range. i am looking at aloha sol or matum rates, if not I'll just have to go there put my bags and head to pasions. my flight arrives at 8:30pm so I should have enough time.

If you stay at aloha del sol you can walk up to the monument. Hotel Matum sits facing the monument.
Albertos Suites is probably the cheapest place, it is about 3-4 blocks from the monument.
I am just about 100% certain there is only one international airport in Santiago. Look at the Google map for santiago. STI airport is off of autopista duarte, about ten minutes from passions. Santiago is relatively civilized so you shouldn't have any problems there.
Metro bus puts you closer to hotel new garden, from the metro bus stop in Sosua, you can walk to new garden hotel in about 5 minutes. Maybe Metro is one or two dollars more expensive than Caribe Tours. Metro Bus station in Santiago appears it is closer to any of the hotels you may stay at. Caribe tours station in Sosua is on the other side of playa sosua, it would be a long walk from there to new garden hotel.

A ton of cabanas, but no decent hotels to my knowledge. But don't worry, you're still getting there pretty early if you're just planning to hit the chica bars. I generally don't get to Pasions, Illusions, or Casa Blanca before 11:00 anyway. And the later you wait to salida a chica, the better your chance of negotiating a good price. I don't even start narrowing down a choice before 1 or 2am.
With an 8:30 flight, you'll have more than enough time to get to your hotel, shower and change clothes, and still get out to the chica bars with time to spare. I once had a delayed AA flight that got me into STI at 3am. But Illusions was still open and popping!

Camus is another bar that is supposedly good. Dubai bar located where Dolce used to be, also supposedly good.
It is always helpful to know what a venue looks like what when visiting for the first time. Photos of two bars in Santiago, from Bufeo.com.
Camus, Avenida 27 De Febrero, near avenida texas, Plaza Jardines.
Camus and Vitra are located near one another.
Dubai club: Calle de la Salle 1er Nivel, Modulo D-01, (between Avenida Juan Pablo Duarte and Avenida 27 de Febrero. Plaza zona rosa is on the corner of calle de la Salle and duarte), Santiago.
Got ripped of by a taxi driver Emilio who drives a white Toyota Camry. When you get off STI airport and see this dorky guy with glasses stay away from him unless you know your way around and can dictate. I ended up paying him 2500 pesos+beer+dinner and the moth**fuc*** was back for more the next day lying to the front desk that I did not pay him enuf. I have his card with me somewhere, once I find it I'll scan and post it here.
He wanted $20 to go from airport to Aloha. So I told him I want to come back to pasion after I check in and shower. He quotes me $30 for both and he will wait a little bit. On the way I tell him about my plans to go to Sosua the next day and he offers his services though I said I'm planning to take the bus. We talk about hotel options and he says Matum is the best deal and Aloha is over $100 a day, so I go to matum and check in there for $60 a night. Not a bad hotel though there were little mariposas as a chica called them (little roaches).
The guy waited for me and then we set off to pasion. on the way I saw international carwash (which i think is the best action for a carwash in sti that I saw, the other one hermano gomez diaz is useless) and wanted to stop for a few minutes to check it out. I got a big presidente and we shared and I talked to few chicas got phone numbers and then we were off. Once in Pasions we were early and its slow, he tells me there will be girls at the restaurant and we go there and get a table. He orders food for 500 pesos and we watch the girls. I am not hungry and just have a beer. At this point I get a little anxious and tell him I think I am done with him and ask him how much? he says $100 and that he will stay until I pick a chica and he will drop us home and he will be back the next day to take me to Sosua for a good deal. I said no way and with my poor spanish i get it down to $70 to get me back home.
I had one girl on site and took another one to the hotel with the dork driving us back. Pics in photo gallery. So once back in the hotel I dont have dollars so i give him 2k pesos and he takes his phone out and uses the calculator to show me 70X36 is more than that. So i gave him another 500 pesos and asked him to get lost. He comes back next morning at 10am and calls from the front desk asking if I wanted to go to Sosua. I told the front desk guy no thanks and hang up. 10 mins later the phone rings and the front desk guy say I need to pay up. the dork says I only paid him 1600 pesos and need to pay 500 more. I said I'll call policia and ask him to leave. they call 2 more times and the front desk guy says taxi wont leave until i pay up. After my chica left i went down around 1 pm and he was still there. i shoved him off and finally he left.
I learnt later that taxi from matum to pasion or anywhere within city only cost me 150 to 200 pesos max. Doh!!

Fat#k tooooo much BS over a taxi! LOL I wish I was with you brother I luv putting the banditos in their place.
I had 1 taxi who wanted 500 pesos from El Conde to Melacon WTF Over! I smiled and told him that was not enough I was only going to pay 1000 pesos because I am really an idiot. I flagged another and he charged me only 100 pesos which is about right.
I think when I leave Afghanisfreakingstan I will start a VIP escort/protection detail here.
I love this place.

On the way I saw international carwash (which I think is the best action for a carwash in sti that I saw, the other one hermano gomez diaz is useless) and wanted to stop for a few minutes to check it out. I got a big presidente and we shared and I talked to few chicas got phone numbers and then we were off. Once in Pasions we were early and its slow, he tells me there will be girls at the restaurant and we go there and get a table. He orders food for 500 pesos and we watch the girls. I am not hungry and just have a beer. At this point I get a little anxious and tell him I think I am done with him and ask him how much? He says $100 and that he will stay until I pick a chica and he will drop us home and he will be back the next day to take me to Sosua for a good deal. I said no way and with my poor spanish I get it down to $70 to get me back home.
I had one girl on site and took another one to the hotel with the dork driving us back. Pics in photo gallery. So once back in the hotel I don't have dollars so I give him 2k pesos and he takes his phone out and uses the calculator to show me 70X36 is more than that. So I gave him another 500 pesos and asked him to get lost. He comes back next morning at 10am and calls from the front desk asking if I wanted to go to Sosua. I told the front desk guy no thanks and hang up. 10 mins later the phone rings and the front desk guy say I need to pay up. The dork says I only paid him 1600 pesos and need to pay 500 more. I said I'll call policia and ask him to leave. They call 2 more times and the front desk guy says taxi won't leave until I pay up. After my chica left I went down around 1 pm and he was still there. I shoved him off and finally he left.
I learnt later that taxi from matum to pasion or anywhere within city only cost me 150 to 200 pesos max. Doh![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Kman1]Got ripped of by a taxi driver Emilio who drives a white Toyota Camry. When you get off STI airport and see this dorky guy with glasses stay away from him unless you know your way around and can dictate. I ended up paying him 2500 pesos+beer+dinner and the moth**fuc*** was back for more the next day lying to the front desk that I did not pay him enuf. I have his card with me somewhere, once I find it I'll scan and post it here.
He wanted $20 to go from airport to Aloha. So I told him I want to come back to pasion after I check in and shower. He quotes me $30 for both and he will wait a little bit. On the way I tell him about my plans to go to Sosua the next day and he offers his services though I said I'm planning to take the bus. We talk about hotel options and he says Matum is the best deal and Aloha is over $100 a day, so I go to matum and check in there for $60 a night. Not a bad hotel though there were little mariposas as a chica called them (little roaches).

In the Dominican Republic these people like to get ''cuts'' your driver got kick backs from Hotel Matum then Hotel clerk helped him by getting more money out of you.
If a taxi driver tried pulling that in front of Aloha Sol they would get ran off by the police in front.
I won't ever stay there after they did this to you ,screw them!
I hate touts and crooked buisnesses glad you brought it to our attention.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I always rent with alamo and choose the third party liability insurance and the glass/tire insurance. For $40 US a day or less, with the added insurance you could probably rent the small car from alamo, the chevy spark, good little car.
My advice, don't go cheap on the rental car. Rent from the big companies, let your mastercard provide coverage for collision/loss protection and get the third party insurance.
I have a friend who works at alamo. He told me that avis, hertz, budget, nelly, payless are all owned by the same group of people.
I have never had serious problems renting from alamo. Reserve online, there are coupon codes out there that will save you some money.

If you plan on renting a car, let me know and I will give you the contact info for two people I know who work in Alamo, one is a guy in Santo Domingo who has worked at Alamo for over 10 years, the other is a chica who works in Puerto Plata. You can contact them and ask them any questions you may have. I was assured with the third party liability insurance, that I purchased, that there would be no jail time in the event of an accident. I don't believe everything that a company employee tells me, so if I do have an accident with bodily injuries, who knows what will happen.

[QUOTE=Enigma84]These chicas cant be touched by us older gringos can they?
Even if you had money.[/QUOTE]I have seen plenty of older guys throughout the Dom Rep with beautiful much younger chicas. I remember one night in coppa discoteca in Santo Domingo, I saw a 70 year old guy with two fine chicas. That old guy had on sunglasses, a suit and a hat in the disco. To me he looked like a cross between an Albanian gangster and Count Dracula, but he must have had money because the two fine chicas were glued to his side.
The high end places in Santiago will mostly have people from a higher economic class. Some of the chicas may have very wealthy parents, so an older gringo with some coin will not impress them. However not all of those chicas come from wealthy families and if some of them can find a rich sugar daddy, they will make themselves available.
I am sure that if you wanted to spend some money in Santiago, you could bag some of the chicas who hang out at the higher end places. What I have seen at the higher end clubs in Santiago, guys drive up in their $70,000 or more, cars (porsche, mercedes, bmw). They get a VIP table at the club/bar/disco. In Santiago I saw guys buying bottle after bottle of champagne. Some chicas go to the club without guys and they get invited over to table.
There are some very pretty chicas in Santiago who come from poorer families, so it may not take much spending to get them into bed.
For me, Santiago is too slow. If you had the time and could spend some time in Santiago, you could do very well with some pretty chicas. For me the pace in Santo Domingo is a lot faster and there are a lot more venues in Santo Domingo where I can pass the time.
Hope this helps, any questions just ask.
Hi guys,
Planning a trip and narrowed it down to where I'm thinking of staying, I heard great things for each one, this would be a first time trip to Santiago. Automatically I would think Aloha Sol but Hodelpa gives you access to a pool, rooms look a bit better, are there huge differences in between? (chica-friendliness considering too) which one you pick?

Price is the big difference. I have stayed at the Hodelpa Centro Plaza numerous times and paid about $120 per night. Aloha de Sol is 1/2 block from Hodelpa Centro Plaza and from what I have read the room rates are $50-$60 per night.
For me being able to use the pool at the Hodelpa El Gran Almirante was the deciding factor. You can invite chicas over to pool if you stay at the Hodelpa Centro Plaza. Very nice pool with a view north of the mountains. There is a decent gym near the pool and there is a chica that gives non-sexual massages there. There is a pool bar, with a friendly bartender named Freddy. You can order food while at the pool.
I have not stayed at the Hotel Aloha del Sol.
At the Hodelpa Centro Plaza, free wifi and a good breakfast buffet in the restaurant the "View", that is on the 6th floor.
I entered the Hodelpa Centro Plaza with chicas and I didn't stop at the front desk. Late at night, if you come in with a chica who looks like a pro, I don't know, they might stop you, I really don't know.
Both places have parking lots/garages. Any questions just ask.

The door to get to the pool deck is usually locked, your plastic room key card from Hodelpa Centro Plaza may not open the door, you may have to stop at the front desk of El Gran Almirante and tell them you are staying at the Centro Plaza and they will give you a plastic key card that will open the door for the pool deck.
Some non-pro or semi-pro may tell you don't have a bathing suit for the pool. About two blocks from hodelpa centro plaza there is a La Sirena store on Calle de Sol. La Sirena sells everything, food, clothes and electronics. You could take a chica there to buy her a bathing suit for 200-500 pesos.
There is small mall in Plaza Hache which is about three blocks from the El Gran Almirante, prices there for bathing suits are higher. Plaza Internacional is another mall no too far from El Gran Almirante hotel.
I love to get in the water with chicas.
Underground parking garage at the El Gran Almirante that you can use for free and you can take the elevator from the underground parking garage to get to the pool deck. If you are driving a car, many parking lots and garages in Dom Rep will give you a plastic card when you enter. When you exit the lot/garage you will give that plastic card back to a worker there (it is way to deter stealing of cars from the lots/garages).

Price for a short term rental at a Cabana ranges from 100 to over 1000 pesos, depending on the cabana and the room.
If you take a taxi to a cabana, you could ask the driver for his card with the phone number and his taxi number, so that you could call him to pick you up after you are finished in the cabana.
The cabanas that I am familiar are on the main road when entering Santiago from the direction of Santo Domingo. They are about ten minutes from the Monument.
My favorite cabana was bora bora. You can order beer and soda at cabanas. Some Cabanas offer food.
Usually the more expensive rooms at a cabana are located closer to the entrance, some rooms will have names like ejecutivo, fantasia etc. If you continue to drive into the cabana complex, the more basic, inexpensive rooms will be found.
You can buy a cell phone in Dom Rep at Claro for 500 pesos. Some guys buy chips at Claro or Orange for their cell phones and switch the chips. Chips I have been told cost 200 pesos. The cell phones you could buy in DR are like the prepaid cell phones in the States. You would purchase a card, scratch off the secret code on the back, dial 1133 for Claro and then enter the secret code and minutes will be added to the cell phone.
From Centro Plaza you can walk up Calle de Sol to get to the Monument. There are several bars and restaurants around the monument, kuka macara and montezuma being the two biggest places.
At night some transvestites stroll around the monument. Some pros hang around near the casino that is attached to the Hodelpa Centro.
Have fun, any questions ask and post a report when you can, thanks.
First time in Santiago, I already like this city. I will head out to Passion's tonite. Any other places besides the ones listed in the BO's Mongering Map ?

If they don't stop at the airport, your best choice might be to take Caribe Tours to their bus station in Charamicos, Sosua. From there you could take a taxi back to the airport.
Charamicos is closer to the airport, than the bus stations in Puerto Plata. It will take more time going to charamicos, sosua, because you will pass the airport on the way to Sosua, but the taxi fare might be cheaper from Charamicos, Sosua than if you were to take a taxi from one of the bus stations in Puerto Plata, to the airport.
Metro Bus Stop is in El Batey, Sosua on the other side of Sosua Beach from Charamicos and thus is a little more further away from the airport, than Charamicos.

From STI? I'd take Caribe to POP and nearby is the parada for publicos to Sosua. Just tell them to drop you at the apt and they'll pull into the entrance to the airport a little ways and deposit you. Short walk to terminal. ten minutes.
Going forward, I am looking to rent an apartment when I travel to Santiago? I want to rent on nightly, possible week. Anyone aware of resources?
I like Santiago a lot. There are few places in the world where regular girls are available on an easier basis. That being said, there is not a lot of easily accessible P4P, for those times when convenience is more important than real GFE.
The night before last was no exception to my frustrations. My new girlfriend (we met on Tagged and fucked on our second date last April) went home at midnight, as her mother is some type of religious nut, and she is not allowed to sleep out. I was at the Hodelpa Gran Central, which I recommend for price, convenience, location and being girl-friendly.
So, I took a walk through the Casinos, and the pickings were slim (as always, the girls who are employed at the casinos were outstanding, but I have had no success trying to get these girls. They are probably available for a real date- on their day off- dinner, flowers, meet Mami, etc). Finally, a 25-30 ish woman was seen walking down the street, conversing with cab drivers, and I asked her where she was going. She said the casinos, had a pretty nice face and body, so I invited her up for some company. She gave a very good BBBJTCIM and was soon $40 US richer and on her way around 2 am to lose all of her new riches playing the one armed bandit.
Being still pretty horny (I had now fucked my girl twice, and gotten a blow job from the street girl, but I was in the DR for the first day after a prolonged absence and was clearly in heat), I called a number I found on the internet. A 7 am delivery was promised, but failed to materialize. Imagine my frustration when 7 am came and went!
At this point, I showered and got ready for work. As I stepped into my cab an hour later, I asked the doorman about morning pleasures. Passions is closed, and the car washes don't have action until the afternoon. Imagine my joy when the doorman, whose name is Juan, pulled out a list of numbers and names! Sadly, although I was interested, I would not be back from my appointment until my novia returned to my hotel from her Mom's house. She is not into threesomes, so I passed. However, Juan truly brightened my day, as well as my prospects for returning the Santiago, City of Gentlemen, soon! In my view, this was all it took to make Santiago complete. Lot's of willing "freebies", Passions for the rare night when I have the energy to put up with a long cab ride, loud music and high prices (don't get me wrong, despite these drawbacks, the girls at Passions are really hot), and a scene of independent girls who are available during the day for the occasionally full-service massage makes this city complete! For a guy like me, who likes sex to be available 24/7, but prefers the GFE experience over everything, the city is now perfect.
If anyone gets to the Hodelpa Central Plaza soon, please PM me Juan's phone number. I think he can be a real help in the future, and I would hate to lose him!
I was looking into flying spirit into Santiago as there is a flight which is both cheap and convenient for me but it arrives at 2AM. Spirit seems to only arrive or depart there in the very early morning hours.
Does anybody experience with these flights and what alternatives you have? I've flown into POP and Las Americas. I'd be interested in seeing Santiago then going to Sosua/Caberete. Any cheap ($50 ish) hotels you can take a cab to and check in at 3AM?

It will take more time going to charamicos, sosua, because you will pass the airport on the way to Sosua, but the taxi fare might be cheaper from Charamicos, Sosua than if you were to take a taxi from one of the bus stations in Puerto Plata, to the airport. [b]it will be much cheaper![/b]
Metro Bus Stop is in El Batey, Sosua on the other side of Sosua Beach from Charamicos and thus is a little more further away from the airport, than Charamicos.[/QUOTE]
This is the best solution. Although it might look funny going past the airport into Charamicos, then having to come back again, it is likely to be the quickest, and will certainly be the cheapest, method.
They don't stop at or near the POP airport. I have tried without success to bribe Caribe Tours drivers to make unscheduled stops for me (for example at Costambar and at Field of Dreams). Locals confirm they cannot be bribed to do that though there would be no harm in trying.
But even if Caribe Tours did drop you on the main road near the airport you would still have a 15 minute walk to the terminus (a problem if you have a suitcase or it is raining) or you could take a motoconcho as far as the barrier (they are not allowed further) and then you only have 5 minutes to walk.
Similarly you could tip a regular publico en route from Charamicos to Puerto Plata to take you as far as the barrier and walk the remaining 5 minutes. I believe they are not normally allowed past the barrier although I have seen one or two inside at the terminal.
I've done this Spirit flight. It's not TOO bad on a weekday, when the Sosua-bound busses depart just after 7am. But on a Sunday, the earliest bus out is like 9:20am. So I had to kill nearly 6 hours (3 at airport, then 3 at bus station).
On DR1, there's a thread about an open-24-hours casino not too far from the Metro/Caribe stations. The idea was not to sleep there, just finding a place with some activity, food and drink to kill time 'til the busses start running.
[QUOTE=Marc Anthony]I was looking into flying spirit into Santiago as there is a flight which is both cheap and convenient for me but it arrives at 2AM. Spirit seems to only arrive or depart there in the very early morning hours.
Does anybody experience with these flights and what alternatives you have? I've flown into POP and Las Americas. I'd be interested in seeing Santiago then going to Sosua/Caberete. Any cheap ($50 ish) hotels you can take a cab to and check in at 3AM?[/QUOTE]

Sorry to disagree with you Sir Pooter but I have been on Caribe Tours when they have stopped at the airport. Just before they depart from Puerto Plata the driver will ask if anyone wants to get off at Grand Parada, Montellano, Airport or La Union, if so they make sure you have your luggage on the bus as they will not open the cargo holds for these stops.

I stand corrected and I am very glad to hear that is now the case. Very sensible and useful for everyone. Thanks for letting us know. Good tip about the luggage, too.
I assume he stopped on the main road at the airport and didn't enter along the service road?

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Hotel Platino and Hotel Aloha Sol are chica friendly hotels in Santiago. From what I have read, some pros hang around the New Garden Hotel to service clients. When I stayed at Hotel Platino, I did not see any Pro chicas hanging around.
Hotel Aloha Sol I did not see any pro chicas hanging around on the inside of that hotel. 1/2 block from the Aloha Sol Hotel there is a casino in the Hodelpa Centro Plaza Hotel, at night some pros hang around that casino.
From what I saw in Santiago, I did not see any hotels that resemble New Garden Hotel, in having Pro chicas who just hang around waiting for clients.
Pay for play in Santiago is not the easiest.
i am going to pop on short notice and the price of flights into sti was $200. cheaper so i need to take the bus to pop.

SITUATION - Trying to get ONE post that answers this repeating question; Not trying to be a smart ass, but this really isn't a discussion question. I know there are some veterans, and likely a resident that can answer this question. With the exhorbitant cost of flights to POP, and cheap flights, including Spirit, this info is needed more and more. Thanks in advance for your help.
Flying into STI - Late night (or middle of the night)
Need a CHEAP room:
1) Please give a name of a hotel near airport?
2) Please give a name of hotel near Metro Tours?
3)What is taxi price from STI to Metro Tour bus station?

[QUOTE=Knight Crawler]Are there any spots still open for action round this time besides the casino? First time in DR and plan to hit Sousa the following day.
BAMF![/QUOTE]Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights bars are open. Friday and Saturday nights they stay open later. Passions supposedly stays open late, it is a club with pro chicas, off the main road from the airport when heading toward santiago city. If you go directly to passions from the airport, your luggage will be with you. Whether you can encounter an honest taxi driver who will make sure your luggage is secure while you visit passions, I don't know.
Casa Blanca and Ilusios are the two other places with pay for play chicas in Santiago.
There are many cabanas near passions. Cabanas are 4 hour or longer room rentals, prices range from $3 to over $30 per 4 hours. You could potentially take a taxi from the airport (sti) to passions, pick out a chica, pay her probably over $100 and take her to a cabana. You can stay in the cabana till the morning and then you will need a taxi to come and pick you up to take you to the bus terminal.
Pay for play in Santiago is not cheap.
Any Ideas how long is the drive from Sosua to STI on a Tuesday morning? trying to figure out what time to leave sosua to catch 1:15pm flight from STI.
Is the mountain road (Bartomo) faster during that time? Google maps show 3 diff. routes each taking between 1 hr 4 mins to 1 hr 27 mins as below. Is it really that fast, how much padding should i add?
This time I am renting a car and not messing with the taxis.

About and hour and a half no matter which way you go. I am fairly sure someone will chime in to dispute my claim but, since I make the trip at least two to three times weekly I am pretty sure about it. Over the mountains it takes a little longer because the road is really bad at some stretches. The highway through puerta plata is just long. I am not sure about this other route because I never go that way.

I have driven many a time to Santiago from Sosua on the mountain road. It is safe and usually not much of traffic. For the first time driver at night maybe a problem because of the fog and twisting roads. But daytime is not a problem.
I have made it in 45 minutes from sosua town to near the Casino in santiago where the monuments are. I do not know where the airport is. I have never taken the national highway via Puerto Plata. It is very crowded especially during the daytime and for a time I believe it also goes through the mountains. Location of STI maybe right on the highway. If you can negotiate the local roads in Santiago it is better to take the mountain road.
October 2010-November 2010
So in the course of a week, immediately returning from a Month long trip to DR I, ostensibly have returned to work, hated every second of life in the real world, fought with my girlfriend subsequently broken up with my girlfriend, ducked a bullet from the job for taking a MONTH off from work when I was suppose to only have been gone for 2 weeks and have Planned my return to the DR for 2 months extended in about 3-4 months, leaving in March coming back to the states in July.
Enough about my drama now on to the story so, as I alluded to in my self-absorbed preamble to my report I stayed in DR for one month I have dubbed myself a DR vet with a total of 5 trips for a combined stay of about 1 year.
But, I know I have so much more to learn. I feel like I have finally got my feet wet and feel like a puppy that has opened his eyes for the first time.
So, I have stayed in Santiago for about 2 weeks or more, Sosua for about a week, Samana for about a week. This report is about Santiago. I was surprised about Santiago. My first visit to DR I was told about women from Santiago that they were difficult, unapproachable, out of my league, etc. You get the picture. This couldn't be any further than the truth after my time there I developed a health rotation of women in and out of my room. I had plenty of women to choose from the phone would not stop ringing.
Location #1 Hotel Matum is the best stay was moderately helpful however they were completely unconcerned with who was going in and out of my room which could be a pro/con. CON: If you get robbed they don't have the girls ID. Pro: No added embarrassment for you or the girl having to stop at the desk to drop off ID and equally so in the morning. Etc.
Location #2 Bar Selena 2 its location is Nibaje, Santiago AV Franco Bido#53, which is about a 8 minute ride from the Monumento. The bar is in a decent middle class neighborhood. I found it buy chance. I was jogging through ensueno, one of the next neighborhoods below the monument, and I got lost. The neighborhood of Nibaje looks a little tuff but I have dark skin so I was able to blend in, I assume anyway. I passed by the bar and it had all the tell-tell signs of a "casa", dark-tinted windows, no menors signs and no armas, I went in. I was the only guy in there with like 30 women bored to death. I was immediately rushed by a chica I quickly dismissed her by checking my phone and shooing her away, I had to get my barrings. I sat down, a few seconds later a thicker lighter skinned chica huge titts approached me, let's call her Rosa, asked me what I wanted to drink, "Presidente Light", big bottle about 90 Road. She went to get it came back and sat down next to me, poured me a cup full and began enjoying the music. This is what made me want to take her home, every time I took a sip or two, she topped off my cup. I asked her what she was doing, "she said" I'm here to service you. I don't know about you all but I'm a sucker for customer service, not to mention those big titts. Her attentiveness led me to believe that she would provide good service in the sack if she was attentive like that in the beginning. I offered her 500RD to leave with me, she laughed and told me that was too low and besides she claimed that she's not a hoe. She has a good boyfriend in Miami who sends her money, yeah whatever. So she gave me the breakdown which is as followed, 500RD for Salida fee and what you work out with chica is between you too. I didn't leave with Rosa that night. I got the info and went on my way. The next night I left with a dark skinned chica named Charoline for 1000RD. I walk in the joint ordered a beer with Charoline told her lets leave for 1000 Road paid the Salida. We waited outside for a taxi with all the other girls of the bar who happened to be overtly jealous and Rosa was fuming. She told me that I was hers and she didn't want me to leave with her. I laughed and summarily walked myself and Char to the taxi. At Mantun she was hungry so we got food 300RD and I told her ass that was your tip, no argument. We fucked the girl was very good uncovered BJ multi-positions. We fucked about 3 times. Pros: she was well behaved, kept her all night multi-leche's, no clock watcher, no stealing, nice body, wet pussy, young/raw talent. Cons: she talked to damn much, wanted to eat, wanted to watch tv rather than fuck, didn't initiate sex, not really well trained on stimulating a man.
Next night I left with Rosa. She was a beast. I waited till she got off we had a good connection. I went to the bar late around 10pm she was overjoyed to see me. Char was there too and there was a little tension between them, Char wanted me but I was pretty much done with her and rather enjoyed the attention of Rosa. So I bought a huge bottle of Brugal and shared with about 6 girls in the club. Told Char it was over Rosa told her it was business and all was well again tension gone. I Stayed till 12 I was drunk as hell nearly blind. Rosa put us in a taxi much to the dismay of Char who was now watching us jealously asking if she could go and talking shit to Rosa. Rosa was laughing and enjoying the payback from the night before. We fuck very nice, the connection went along way. I did a lot of sweet talking in the bar she was wet as a river when I finally got her in the room. Muti-leches no clock watching night fucking and morning 1000RD took her to breakfast next day
I made another waitress jealous that I was working on at the restaurant next to Mantun. I fucked the restaurant waitress 2 days later 1800RD kids birthday party blah blah blah. Whatever. Saw Rosa again 2 more time 500RD each time she said she likes me and hates her fiancé who lives in Miami and sends money. Yeah sure. I enjoyed. The titts are huge hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Disclaimer: If you speak no Spanish and do not own or refuse to purchase a pocket translator, you very well might not enjoy your experiences in Bar Salinas 2 in Nibaje. Equally so, if you do not have the skin pigmentation or "look" that might allow you to blend into your surroundings, I might advise against going to the Bar. It is not dangerous just don't want anyone to think it is like a place in Sosua, its not it's a locals place. Lastly, if you are scary don't go to DR.
Peace,

Thanks for the report. Just in time for me, I'll check this place out before heading to Pasion. I am planning to stay at Matum too, I like their location. I'll ask them how to get to bar Selena. Also do you know if this bar or any others are open on Monday night?
I am wondering if I can get Ola gps at Santiago, either at the airport or elsewhere. I got one from Santo Domingo last time and it worked pretty good for the highways and main roads.
I have a wifi capable phone with international data ablitites. I just used that everyday while I was there. My cellphone company had a international plan.
I wouldn't ask the hotel staff where the bar is. Just grab a taxi and tell them where you want to go, believe me they know. It shouldnt b more than 120rd in the day and up to 180rd at nite. I have become a firm negotiator after this trip, I hope that you are too.
Passions has great quality of pros but I its overpriced and you are rushed after one ledge no bueno.

I have the sprint evo. I called sprint and they said voice and data should work fine but they wouldn't guarantee the gps (google maps nav or sprint nav). I hope it works, has anyone tried it?
b.t.w. BigBlkbootylvr - I ate the open air restaurant next to Matum last time. I was the only one at that hour and made some eye contact with the lady behind the counter. I had no clue she was available. Not sure if we are talking about the same person. Do you have her name of the waitress you did by any chance? thx.
I took these photos while I was driving, November 2010. Casa Blanca and Ilusion are on the same street about 5 minutes from one another in Santiago.
I promised my friend Big Up, that I would take photos of Pasion in Santiago. I took these photos at night during a light rain so they are not the best photos. Pasion is located a little way past Zeus Cabana. Pasion has a large parking lot with guys who will help you park and watch your car. Inside Pasion there are probably 50 tables. I was early, but many tables had bottles of cranberry juice already on them in preparation for the customers who would come in later and buy bottles of vodka. A few chicas were sitting on sofas near the entrance, I did not get a good look at them. I had two chicas from Moca with me who wanted to return later in the night to Pasion in more sexy clothes, so I stayed only a few minutes in Pasion.

I would not recommend that road. The road is narrow, no guardrails in some places, sometimes part of the road is washed out reducing it to one lane, pedestrians walk on the road, many curves and tight bends where you have to worry about coming head on onto another vehicle coming in the opposite direction or hitting a pedestrian because other vehicles have boxed you in. Too much work for me that road.

I was there last night. The one guy at the restaurant/bar outside the main club speaks good English. He tells me Pasion is now open 7 days a week. Use him for any translation services. U could still get ripped off. 3 out of 4 girls I got back to my hotel so far have been runners, finding some excuse to runaway and not stay the promised duration. The biggest problem is they make you pay upfront. I think that can be negotiated with the guy, next time i'll try that. There are some stunners there, but they quote real high prices right off the bat. I had 3 last night ranging from 2k pesos to 3k for 1hr. have some pics for later. The cabanas there are average at best with the showers not working. B.t.w. I drove around at night and the car washes were closed.
Today, I am waiting for my bags to arrive (American screwed it up as usual) so i can start driving to Sosua.
peace.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]I took these photos while I was driving, November 2010. Casa Blanca and Ilusion are on the same street about 5 minutes from one another in Santiago.
I promised my friend Big Up, that I would take photos of Pasion in Santiago. I took these photos at night during a light rain so they are not the best photos. Pasion is located a little way past Zeus Cabana. Pasion has a large parking lot with guys who will help you park and watch your car. Inside Pasion there are probably 50 tables. I was early, but many tables had bottles of cranberry juice already on them in preparation for the customers who would come in later and buy bottles of vodka. A few chicas were sitting on sofas near the entrance, I did not get a good look at them. I had two chicas from Moca with me who wanted to return later in the night to Pasion in more sexy clothes, so I stayed only a few minutes in Pasion.[/QUOTE]
Great report on the main venues in Santiago.

[QUOTE=Brugal8]Great report on the main venues in Santiago.[/QUOTE]Wind is a new restaurant/bar I saw that sits facing the monument in Santiago, with flat screen televisions, open air type place, an alternative to Montezuma or Kuka Macara if you want to take a chica on a date.
I have eaten at bot those places food is ok. They both have live music i like the open air resturant better no particular reason other than the view. Both are a bit pricey took a chica there we spent 3k RD. We had a 4 both had 4 course meals wit drink. Although tht was considerly cheaper than any nice resturaunt in the US, however i dont go to DR for fine dining. My. 02

[QUOTE=Brugal8;1096958]Kman1, please post the pics since there are not a lot of santiago talent pics on this board.[/QUOTE]A few notes about Pasion. Buy your beer outside at the restaurant / bar. Its 150peso large presidente or 100 small. Inside its 325 first large one and the waiter will most likely pocket 25p tip without asking you. They told me the next drink inside is cheaper but I did not try. I was so pissed I will never get a drink from the waiter inside. The loco chicas made me do that. Next, if you really find a cute one and you are not confident to take her back to the hotel all nite for the huge price just go to the cabana for an hour, which will still be 2500 to 3000 (tln runs from 4000+) , those are my numbers, I am sure others have theirs. Even for ST price goes up if she has to leave the premises. Never take one back for TLN unless you are really comfortable and make sure you use the pasion guarantee that if chica leaves earlier than promised you can go back and get a refund. Take her with you to the guy at the outside restaurant and finalize the terms. Threaten to call pasion if she starts making excuses.
Now, I had no problems with this gal that I would fully recommend. She stayed till 11am before I had to leave for my flight and agreed for a last pop (4th) just before leaving (for a small tip + her 4k pesos for TLN). Just let her take charge, she knows how get the job done.

Spent a couple days here this trip- nothing new except found a club called Bilboa on Espana about 500 feet south off Dell Sol near the Lasirena. It opens at noon till 5am. Prices are 400 peso bar fine 1000 or less for the girl. You can have them in the bar for 800 pesos. I was getting these prices from an employee while having a beer there it was 80 pesos for large presidente. It is a bar with dance floor couches. There is about 8 girls by day and they really come in after 9 it is kind of a freelance thing for the girls I think.
I am sure this place is old news to KOKI and Jaosusa but I never knew of this place before here is pic if the sign over entrance.

A few blocks away is Hotel Tropicana or Tropical. A real dive. I used to go there when I was staying at Colonial and was bored as they were open in the daytime and cheap cold beer. Also the first time I went there was a cute girl 7.5 or 8 with a nice body and she quoted me 500 pesos, on site or in my hotel. Seemed to good to be true and I was sort of beat. She sat with me for 3 hours, we drank beer, made out, fondled each other and when I left she asked for a tip to buy lunch. Gave her 100 pesos and she was happy.
Of course this may have been 6.7 years ago. The few times I have been since there were not any chicas as cute as she was and most were lets say "less than attractive but. If you hit Billboa it may be worth a stop just on the somewhat slim chance of a diamond in the rough.
I just arrived here after 8 nights of heavy mongering in Sosua, so have been feeling a bit 'shagged out', literally! I will report fully on Sosua at a later date, as I will also be heading back there in a few days. After the relative peace of Sosua and the north coast, arriving here yesterday during the rush hour was a total shock to the senses, with all the traffic, pollution and constant car horns and alarms going off.
Thought the area of the bus station where I arrived with Metro looked a bit calmer and nicer than downtown where I am staying, so headed up there today by taxi, walked to the 2 shopping centres nearby just to check them out. As I said, have been feeling pretty tired, so so far have just been checking out the ladies, a few nice ones in and around the shoping mall, but was not exactly stunned by them.
Earlier on today I decided to take a walk to this bar 'Selena' that Blk Big Bootyluv was talking about. Found the right street, and walked up and down it both sides of Avenida Francia but could not find it. But stupidly I did not write down the number before I set off. Is it definitely still open? Could you please advise me though, is this place open during the day, and if not around when does it open, and would it be safe for me to walk there in the evening from downtown, Calle del Sol? By the way, I am medditeranean looking if that helps! I agree with you that walking down Avenida Francia seems middle class, but Avenida Franco Bido is a fairly rough looking street full of small repairshops and businesses. And last thing, is it called Bar Selena or Bar Salinas, as you quote both names in your posting?
I have a couple of other random questions that I cannot find the answers to on the previous 20 pages, if anyone could help with these it would be greatly appreciated.
Are Casa Blanca and Illusions near to Passion, so if I did not like one would be easy to check out the other? Any ideas which has mores curvy ladies and less barbie dolls, which are not my type at all.
Hotel / Casino Matum, worth checking out? Do pro's hang out there, and what is the name of this restaurant next to Matum that was quoted.
Where is the international car wash? Are there any other good ones?
I would apprecaite any advice because tonight and last night have been wasted mongering wise, well at least I will be able to recharge my batteries. Tomorrow I definitely plan to get some action.

[/QUOTE]Passions is on the road heading toward santo domingo, there are about 8 cabanas one after another on that road. Ilusiones and casa blanca are on a different road. Ilusion and casa blanca are about 2-3 blocks from one another on the same road. That road heads toward Moca. One guy picked up a chica from some chica who worked at a food cart, I believe near the texaco gas station. There is a texaco gas station on ave estrella sadhalla. At that intersection with the texaco, you take ave juan pablo duarte east to get to ilusiones and casa blanca. Friday and Saturday nights, santiago gets going. Monte Bar is usually busy every night, try to visit MOMA, Overlounge, francifol, Camus, Dubai to see non-pro chicas. The Hodelpa off calle de sol has a casino where some pros hang out.
Late at night beware street walkers around the monument, they looked like transvestites when I drove by in my car.
I have never visited a car wash in santiago, so I can't help you with that. If you have a car you may want to pay a taxi driver to show you where different venues ar located, you can follow behind him in your car.

Hope this post is not too little too late. But here goes it. Ok I believed I advised to take a taxi to Salenas bar in Nibaje.
The taxi drivers know where it is. From what I've read from you adventure on foot sounds like your really close. I remember all those many repair shops.
I would like to reiterate that the quality of chicas in Pasions is very impressive I feel IHO the service is sub par when compared to GFE experiences I have had in DR.
Ok I'm going to swing for the fences on this one and if you do this you need to be both brave and channel your inner explorer spirit. Get a taxi and tell him to take you to Monte Rico. There are 2 bars and 1 Carwash with working girls in them. One of the bars in huge sits on the corner and it is across the street from a bank. I know a chica tht lives in Monte Rico and have been told it was a ruff area. I made it out alive and could have got lucky but I was on an exploration mission so I can pull out a magic trick bag for fellow mongers like you.
Las Americas mall in the morning / afternoon is priceless for picking up nonpros if you can get them. Take a taxi to UTESA the local University thousands of chicas all ridiculously HOT. Pull up a chair order some comida and drinks and smile smile smile. If your nice you should be able to get something nice. Wish I could be more specific but its been about 3months since I was there.
That should keep you busy for a while peace good luck and be safe.
BBL.

[/QUOTE]Even though I had a car I took a taxi from Matum to explore the mongering spots in the city since I was not familiar and maps don't work well. I took a quick one hour ride with the taxi guy and then drove on my own from there. Make sure you negotiate a price before hand. Even though spot A to spot B is 100-150 pesos, when the taxi guy takes you to multiple destination and waits for you to go in and check the place out, all fixed pricing goes out the window and STI taxi drivers are notoriously bad.
First I told him to take me to bar Salena (heard from bigblkbtylvr). He did not know where it was but I had the address and googled directions which showed us the wrong direction to turn on the street. So we turned around and it was at the other end of the street. This was 7:30pm on a Monday night and there were about 6 to 7 girls in there. It was really dark and not one person spoke a word of English. Nothing compared to Pasion talent but couple were doable. Some older women in there. I spoke to one and told her I will come back later but she walked out with me outside and was trying to tell me something which I did not understand. There were many family people outside and it created a little scene. B.T.W they told me they close at 12am on Mondays.
Then the dude took me to illusions which is actually pretty easy to get to from the monument, three big roads. It was around 8pm and they werent open yet. But there was a lit bar sign on the side, so walked in and the barman said he will bring one chica from the habitation. She turned out to be the hottest young one I ever saw at illusions. I told her I will be back later and left to check out the other spots. I did not find her after that, she wasnt working that day, they called for her but she was taking her own sweet time before I left.
Since I knew pasions I skipped it, I think next he took me to International car wash which is right on the highway, which I think has shut down. Its been closed the last 3 times I went there. We went to hermanos gomez which also I know sucks since you cannot take out, what the hell is wrong with that place. He took me to I think another big place like pasion (maybe casablanca) , I forget the name, only few girls there too. Then two more car washes and back to Matum. I found all places to be on three main roads (loosely triangular).
At the end he was asking me 1k peso, I said no way and we settled at 700p.
and b.t.w. I always stay at Matum and have never come across any obvious looking working girls in the casino. I did not check out the disco as i was not aware there was one.

I have stayed on Aloha Sol twice but was curious about this hotel. I went to the casino on my last trip to Santiago and won over 200 dollars on their 25 pesos slot machines after 5 minutes playing there so I left the place with the money and bought a couple empanadas in front of the hotel, mmm yummy. My chica arrived 10 minutes later and I never told her about the money I won.

The rooms are nice, spacious, good beds, fridge, tiled floors, good bathrooms. It is very chica friendly. The not-a-puta I got from the casino addressed the night receptionist by his first name and she seemed very at home there. Cooked breakfast included which is OK. Definitely a Dominican breakfast though, not American. Also if you are gambling in the casino around 10:00pm you get a free meal of basic Dominican food. Also free drinks while playing, of course.
Would stay there again.
The hotel was the epicenter of one of the many revolutions sometime in the 60's and there is an interesting display of historic photographs on the second floor lobby.
I had empanadas from the fast food place opposite one of the two nights I was there. Pretty good, they were, especially the pizza flavored empanada. It's 5 minutes walk to the Monument, a few more minutes if you want to go to the top. Just watch the rough ground outside the hotel, especially in the dark. I sprained my ankle returning from the empanada stand, (and I was completely sober).
Not much in the way of chicas in the casino. I found one, and you might find a few semis who have gambled away their funds and need restocking. I talked to a couple, but they weren't attractive enough to be worth fucking, then I took another girl who had a nice smile. I wasn't really sure if she was a pro, so we had a brief conversation along the lines of: "What is your name, do you come here often? Do you want to come to my room?"."Where are you staying?" she asks."Right here", I say."OK" says she.
She took money, then what is she? A few years back I was at the Matum. Three chicas were obviously together, two were sisters. They ran out of money for the slots. I gave them a short bucket of tokens to play. My game was ON! Rented a room for two of them and took one of the sisters to my room. No money exchanged, well, except for the extra room. Such is life here in the DR. I live here now and there is pussy everywhere. It does not take much time to find a chica to put out. Sex here is like breathing.

The reason some people are looking for info on getting a taxi from STI to Sosua is that there are several flights that get into STI after the last bus goes to Sosua. I have taken a taxi several times and know the bus system as well as anyone but you can't take a freaking bus if it it isn't running dude.

I will be in Santiago at the end of the month. I have been reading up on this thread but it isn't as activity as others. Any updates on bar Salena or bilboa? They sound promising. Thanks
I might roll with you. Also Does anyone know about this place.

BBL[/QUOTE]Albertos Suites in Santiago has gotten decent reviews. I have not stayed there. Seems it is located about 4-5 blocks from the Monument. Price is inexpensive.
Around the Monument there is Matum Hotel and casino with a popular food cart out front that sells empanadas. Empanada food carts on the sidewalks are popular in Santiago. Montezuma Bar and Restaurant in front of the Monument is an easy meeting spot for Santiago chicas, good service the times I was there, you can buy a beer while you wait for the chica to arrive. Kuka Macara restaurant is located next to Montezuma. El Tablon with outdoor seating is a place for food drinks that faces the monument. Wind was a new restaurant that faces the monument. One street behind where Montezuma is, there are several small bars, that street can get a lot of people on a weekend night. Ahi Bar is located somewhere close to there and is popular.
[QUOTE=Trevor;1158630]Hello, new to the city, anyone can recommend and honest cab driver?[/QUOTE]Please do not go with Emilio, the dorky guy with glasses driving a white Toyota Camry, I am so pissed of I can still remember after more than a year (look at my past reports for details). He actually talked Hotel Matum staff into walking up to my room and knock and walk in and threaten me when I was there with my chica the foll. Morning after all I went thru the fist night, worst experience ever with a taxi driver. On the flip side I really got a decent and nice guy driving a red taxi but I don't have his details. I don't know for sure but maybe the red taxis are better? I would definitely go with one next time though I am renting my own car these days.
I will be flying into Santiago around 2 pm on June 17 are there any massage houses that I can go to during the afternoon until Passions open up later that night.
Thanks
Has anyone been to Illusions are Passions lately, what are the prices for all night take out service?
Thanks
Will you guys let me know please. I know the first thing you're going to say is don't do it, it' dangerous as hell. I know, I've seen friends die in Thailand. But is it possible to rent a small motorbike there in Santiago, or Sosua, or Puerta Plata, or even, or the capital. If so, how much, you think. 200 a day. 300. 400.
Thanks alot in advance.
[QUOTE=Coole Mr; 1165908]Has anyone been to Illusions are Passions lately, what are the prices for all night take out service?
Thanks[/QUOTE]Yes, I was there in May. The price for take out at Passions was 150usd, very high quality talent. Just a note, get your drink from the outside bar and talk to the guy that works the bar very good english than go found that must have pretty thing bring her back to him. He fixed me up real good and I will do take out again on my trip in August. I stay at the Mutum and on my second nite found all cans of p4p right there at the disco felt like I was at BB's. Never made it to Illusions short 6 day trip 2 at BB's and 2 in Sousa.
Stayed at Aloha Sol in downtown Santiago about a mile west of Monument, plesant stay, hotel staff was very helpful. (free breakfast in the morning). Had dinner at TGI Friday nice to see the local middle class Santiago ladies out after work for drinks and dinner. I had a local cab driver to show me around, he took me to a place called the Car Wash, a local watering hole with a lot of women but it was hard to figure out who was available. Went to illusions and Passions, very nice talent but expensive. They were asking for $125 for 4 hrs and $200 for all night. Called a old friend who lives in Santiago at 2am and she was more than happy to catch a cab and come to my hotel.

I haven't been impressed with Illusions and Passions because of the prices. I much rather prefer the car washes. Not sure which one you went to but there are several around town. I never bumped into a chica at the car war that wasn't available. If you speak Spanish, Santiago has a lot of potential. There are also online babes like Ana, who hangs in Sosua sometimes, that you can contact through one of the online dating sites and bone. My boy was in Santiago recently; he stayed at Aloha Sol and told me he boned Ana gratis. Anyway, thanks for the report.

Drove to Santiago around midday from Santo Domingo. Stopped at Carrefour in Santo Domingo, heavy rain. Traffic near Manoguayabo and Autopista Duarte super slow. Some chica had been calling me a lot and she said she lived near Carrefour, so I told her to take a taxi and meet me at carrefour (large store that sells food and other stuff). Red flag, if a chica calls me more than I call her. I did not remember anything about this chica. She gets out of the taxi and I was embarrassed to take her into carrefour, scary face, nice firm, big tetas though, but the face was too much. I walked her to my car and then drove her over to the taxi stand, gave her some taxi money and continued the drive to Santiago. Parts of Autopista Duarte that day were like a river, over a foot of water on the outside lane near the shoulder.
Arrived into Santiago around 3pm, and parked in front of Montezuma restaurant, near one sign for the Monument. A worker from Montezuma walked across the street to make sure all was well with parking the car. Always excellent service in Montezuma. It was sunny in Santiago. A big titty chica was on her way to Montezuma to meet me, a chica I have chatted with online for over two years. 20 years old, no kids, studies at some University in Santiago. Drank beer with her, for over an hour, then drove her to her university, she had an exam or class. I drove back to the monument and parked near Wind Restaurant, which also faces the monument and has good, fast, free wifi. No Presidente beer at Wind, I ordered Quisqueya beer and did not like it. Went online with my laptop to check some things, then went and visited an old friend who lives near calle de sol, Juan Bosch used to stay at his house. To be continued.
Photos from Wind Restaurant and the Caribbean Suite at Bora Bora Cabaņa, two floor room, large jacuzzi. A light skin Santiago chica. 19 years old, no kids, chose the room. 1700 pesos for 4 hours, expensive, I won't let the chica chose the room in the future.

IT[/QUOTE]Way more than I wanted to spend on a room, that's what I get for letting the chica choose the room. The chica got no money from me, at the end of the night (drinks and a $10US gift, is what she received) , she did not kiss and no oral sex with her, for that reason, I gave her nothing more at the end of the night. If she had chosen a cheaper room, I may have given her 500 pesos food money. No kissing and no blowjob, a little boring.
I have no experience in casas in Santiago.
Anal is available with some chicas in some casas in Santo Domingo and with some SWs in Santo Domingo.
In Santiago, probably anything is available for a high price.

Hey, anyone know any good casas de cita in Santiago?
I'm passing by this city this weekend, but I don't really have the time to go for some non-pro action (I'm only going to be there during the daytime anyway).
Thus, I'm hoping to find some quick and' easy p4p around there.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm sorry but I like to understand. Why do people reach Santiago if it doesn't have "playas" and there is much "calor"?

[QUOTE=FoxesHunter;1177048]I'm sorry but I like to understand. Why do people reach Santiago if it doesn't have "playas" and there is much "calor"?[/QUOTE]Calor means hot or warm in Spanish.
Santiago being inland and somewhat elevated, can be a little less warm than other Dominican cities. Santiago is a nice city, good service at some hotels and restaurants. There are some fine looking chicas in Santiago, not all are fine, but there are fine chicas there.
For me Santiago chicas are all about the money. I saw one Santiago chica my last trip who I thought I would have sex with, I have chatted with her online for two years, seen her on webcam, seen sexy photos of her. She wanted a digital cam (I have my doubts with most Santiago chicas) , I went to Walmart and bought her a $40 Vivitar piece of shit digital camera. After chatting with her online for a few years, I thought she might provide some service. I met her in Santiago my last trip, first time in person, she was friendly, nice tits, but no Miss Universe. I figured I would get something from her. I gave her the $40US digital camera and all I got was a peck on the lips, nothing more. She said it was the first time meeting me in person and she could not do anything (although it is never too early for some Santiago chicas to ask for money) , after two years of chatting on line and seeing her half nude on cam and in photos, all I got was a peck on the lips. I got played, it happens. I gave her taxi money and sent her home. Later she told me that the digital camera was nothing, that she wanted a car and a VISA. I said to myself this chica is barking up the wrong tree, no service and she expects a car and a VISA and she is not super fine. Many Santiago chicas and other chicas in El Cibao, believe they deserve more and don't have to make an effort to make a guy completely happy. I prefer places in DR where the chicas are real and will fuck my brains out, like in Santo Domingo and other areas in DR.
From Boricua Online I learned, don't give some chicas a gift until after they have provided service.

Some chicas I give the $10US to $20US name brand perfumes they sell at Marshalls and TJMAX. With most it is a good investment. Prices for many things in DR can almost be double, from what you can purchase them in States for.

I do bring them cheap souvenirs like mirrors and t-shirts from places I go, but that stuff stays in my suitcase until she has put out. Then I say,"Oh yeah, I got this for you." If they ever ask me to bring something big I just tell them no.
For a couple of years one of my chicks in Lima (probably the freakiest woman I know on the planet) kept asking for a cell phone and for me to take her places. I always told her no. Then we broke up. When I went back down in March she was talking about how she wanted to come fuck me. One of my other girls didn't make it so I told her sure come on. That night we did all kind of shit on top of making of movie of it. The next morning she got up to go to work and I gave her like $7 taxi and lunch money. When I finally woke up good I saw that my USA smart phone and a pair of headphones were missing. She fucked me alright. She made $251 worth of roaming charges on my phone as well. I called her on it telling her that I already went to the police, and this is what she replied:
Tomalo como el pago a mi perdida de tiempo contigo y al tiempo que me hiciste tu juguete por estar esperandote tener sexo contigo mientras tu igual salias con muchas zorras mas, y es mas el celular no es nada a lo que tienes tu y los aņos de perdida de mi contigo.
Here is a pic from that fateful night.
By the way, I have never had a problem with Santiago chicks or any chicks in the DR asking me to bring them things. There was the one time my married girl (but this was before she met her husband) in Puerto Plata wanted me to send some money when that storm came through, but other than that nobody has asked me for a damn thing.
You have been lucky.
The Santiago chica who got the $40US digital camera was not the first Santiago chica who told me no sex on the first date.
In Santo Domingo with some chicas who are better looking and more sexy, than the Santiago chicas who told me no sex on the first date, with those santo domingo chicas, I had sex with them on the first date. For me Santiago is a bit of a waste of time for mongering (I have seen very few SWs in Santiago, I have not encountered a GBP or Playboy Palace type place in santiago, with 1000 pesos for one or 1500 pesos for two chicas prices. The three casas in Santiago, I have read have prices of over $100US. Santo Domingo has probably over 10 venues with prices starting at 1000 pesos, plus SWs, Coppa disco and non-hard core chicas who are enjoyable). Santiago is a nice city, good customer service in some businesses, but for me the Santiago chicas have not put out on a quick enough, often enough basis. Many chicas in El Cibao, la vega, jarabacoa, santiago, seem to believe they are superior and that they deserve more and that they don't have to make a great effort to make a man happy and / or it is OK to make a guy wait. On a short trip, I don't have time to be waiting.
I have given gifts to other chicas in other parts of DR, before any sex and my faith in them was rewarded many times, with good sex. With Santiago chicas, I will play hardball.
Other chicas in other parts of DR, I will trust and give them a gift before any sexual services.
You the man, I hope you continue to bang a bunch of light skin, beautiful Santiago chicas, quickly and for free.

Last time I stayed in Santiago for a week at Hodelpa Gran El Mirante was December 2010. My debit card was just hit with 2 charges one for international assessment fee and then a big hit for $. It appears that someone working the desk or in accounting is working the system. Strange part of this they waited until May 2011 to do the charge and did not process the charge until yesterday. I notify Wachovia in person before going out of country to allow card to work, so its obvious this was not approved. They have shut down the card, replaced the stolen money back in my account. This teaches me the only place I can trust using plastic is Banco Popular. The D. R. Surprises never end, my ass gets hit again and I am in Gringolandia. But I still have to say the GOOD times outweigh the bad.
Heading to Santiago to hang out with chica who has expressed some interest (I still have a little work to do) in going to strip club. Is Santiago just "nightclubs" with chicas sitting around for takeout or eat in or does someone know of a more US style strip club that might welcome couples? I am not optimistic but figure I'd throw it out there.
I have attached pics of friend from Santo Domingo. Fun girl. First year med student. Probably way too crazy for med school. Doubt she will graduate. She loves zippers. Dominicanas are definitely some of the most flirtatious latinas.
I am not sure about santiago.
But in Sd I took my chica to the casa and we got little take out. Was not my first time with the lady but she went for it. It was one for the bucket list. I do not think the clubs will have any problem with the lady. As long as she drinks a beer they are cool. The question is is your chica cool being around the putas.

I am not optimistic but figure I'd throw it out there.
I have attached pics of friend from Santo Domingo. Fun girl. First year med student. Probably way too crazy for med school. Doubt she will graduate. She loves zippers. Dominicanas are definitely some of the most flirtatious latinas.[/QUOTE]

I have had a few "normal" type dominicanas ask me to take them to Pasion. Pasion has a strip show and expensive pro chicas. Casa Blanca and Ilusion (p4p venues) are on the same road as plaza international (MOMA is a nice normal bar in plaza internacional).
Last time I was in Santiago a chica told me she she was invited to a nude disco in santiago. She said she didn't go. Whether there exists a disco in santiago, where everyone is nude, I don't know.
I had a great time with a medical student in Santiago. I met her online and within 5 minutes of meeting her in person we were driving to bora bora cabana (probably the nicest cabana complex in santiago, they have various themed rooms, including Caribbean themed room and African themed room).
Med student chica was great in bed.
Horus cabana, fantasy room had a bit of a funk smell. Zeus cabana is nothing special.
Thanks Jaosousa! That is exactly what I was looking for! If it is high end the chica should feel pretty comfortable. She is of professed "open mind" (this will have to be confirmed) and told me she heard that there were "XXX Shows" in Santiago that were "bien cool". Perfect place to start the "corruption" process.
Thanks for the pics of Bora Bora! She also mentioned that we would spend at least one night in a love motel. She recommended Venus. Apparently we will go there the first night. She got a rate of like 2500 pesos for 9pm to 10am when she called. Sounds a bit low.
A nude disco would be great. Speaking of naked, there is a nudist resort in the DR called Caliente Caribe. I think it is farily new. It is primarily nudists from States, Canada, and Europe from what I hear but they do have swinger takeover weeks. That could be interesting. I showed this to her and she fricking loved it. Looks good on paper. But could be that it is full of people you probably don't want to see naked.

A place such as Pasion is definitley a good place to really find out how far your girl is willing to go.
Glad you liked pics Helpmann. OldKool, I agree with your philosophy. Got to go for it.

There is a nude resort somewhat close to blackbeards. Blackbeards is in costambar.
Cabana prices vary. Years ago Ethics cabana in Santiago had signs saying 99 pesos. Monday to Thursdays during the day, some cabanas have lower rates. Most cabanas are for 4 hours, but you can stay for as long as you want. Sometimes the second 4 hours is cheaper than the first 4 hours. If you will be staying overnight you can ask for extra sheets, so you don't freeze your ass off with the A / C.
Most cabanas have more fancy, expensive rooms closer to the entrance. I believe I Zeus, I pais around 400 pesos for a basic room.
My last trip to Santiago, I let the chica choose the room, she wanted an Ejecutivo room (Executive room) , but they were all taken, a worker said the Caribbean Room was nice, so I pulled into the garage opening for that room. Two floor room, jacuzzi on the first level, bed upstairs, a few sofas, a few televisions. 1700 pesos for 4 hours. The chica wanted a room with a stripper pole, but that room didn't have a stripper pole. She enjoyed the jacuzzi. Many cabanas have sex chairs or similar things to use for different positions.
You could also go to a quiet beach and the chica might get naked on the beach. Years ago I went to playa rincon and the DR chica took off part of her bikini, that beach then, we were the only people in the middle part of the beach.

Venus, Helios, Bora Bora, Horus and others are on the same road, near one another.
First, very nice floating tits on the Playa Rincon girl! Nicely done!
Thanks for details on room pricing. At first I thought it would be crazy expensive and not possible to stay more than 4 hours or the night but she assured me it was. Good to have confirmation of that. Good tip on xtra sheets and AC. Hate when it is super cold in hotels.
I have attached pics of the novia (this is not the Sto Dom med student posted earlier!). She is girl next door type (total Gazelle in Helpmann's nomenclature) who very comfortable with her body, wants to go to nude beach, have sex on beach, pose nude for magazine or website, go to a sex club (well that is more my idea but she has not ruled it out yet). Yada yadda. Maybe even do some softcore video. It is like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry stumbles onto the bi-chick and George tells him his luck "is like discovering plutonium by accident!" But that was in the 90s. With girls coming of age in the Facebook "look at me" era is it really that rare? I know of one adult agency in South Florida but you have to have full US documentation and they don't travel. She has a cute face and nice body. Might be something we might want to explore. Even though adult industry seems flooded with content these days.
Anybody know of reliable or established adult modeling contacts in DR? Is there a DR porn industry?

Made a trip to Santiago two weeks back.
1. Got to describe the travel companions. There were two women next to me on my direct flight to Santiago. By the time we got down, the young woman sitting next to me was giving me what I thought was a candy (I had given one to her and to her Tia sitting next. Earlier in the flight). On further checking, it was a strawberry flavored condom. I was truly blushing. Although it was not visible thanks to my skin color. That was an absolute first. A young woman giving me a condom. I had no idea what to make of that. Does it reflect the Dominican Republic relaxed persona or was it her only. I decided not to ask for her phone number back in the States.
2. In comparison, the next few days were not too good. I had lined up a girl who I had met on my first trip to Sosua who is from Santiago. I called her from the McDonald once I was there happily ensconced with a happy meal. She said she would show up in an hour but never did. I am rather vexed with that. She even declined to respond on my subsequent call. As you can imagine, my afternoon was rather uneventful hence. I had bought a Orange chip earlier for 100 pesos and some minutes but I wondered about my course of action.
3. I entered a salon. Hoping there might be some massage thing I could live with. Nada. The single male barber was friendly as were a couple of girls who I did manicure and pedicure with. A guy came selling empan adas and I bought for all, which made for a good atmosphere and then I had a beer right there. One of the girls, said she was interested in going out dancing the night. She took down my phone number.
4. Went for dinner. Near the Monument. I was looking for goat meat. Something I like (please do not throw up if you do not) and the barber suggested a place. But food was not too good. The animal most likely came from a deep freeze while I was looking for a fresh cull. Tant pis!
5. One of the waiters suggested that the next door dancing place was good so I decided to get back after 11. 00 PM. Unfortunately, I was tired and when I got back, I thought the pickings if any were slim. Did not see single woman / women so I decided to call it 'a night' and settled for a woman in the vicinity of the Hotel. Uninspired but took the tension out.
6. Next morning, called a female who I met online. Hard negotiation. 2000 pesos. To her credit, she was on time but she came in and asked for money first. I decided right there to give her 100 pesos for the cab back and called it quits.
7. The next couple of days were very. Very slim in terms of picking. I met three women (known earlier via web connections) but these proved unproductive. I went to meet two at the Las Colinas Mall and as it so happened, one female of the morning was still hanging around when I went with the next one for dinner. Perhaps I should not be surprised but she was upset and gave me a piece of her mind on phone. My back up plan for the weekend, as you will be able to guess was P4P only. .
8. One good discovery thanks to all these is that I found out about local food. I ate white steamed rice, cooked beef, a thick bean soup that you spread over the rice.tasted very good (called habichuela) plus eggplants and okra. I in fact very much enjoyed the food and it added to my culinary knowledge.
9. Saturday night, I went to a dance place looking to meet a girl. She, it turned out, was not what I was looking for and in addition, was rather possessive. I saw a couple of interesting women in female groups but could not do anything in terms of approaching them because of that. Have to say this. The Dominican women are astounding. They would go and dance with anyone when they are in the mood. I like that free-wheeling soul.
10. Don't recall what I did Sunday night but the salon girl called and I decided it was too late to do anything about it so P4P again. And was ready to throw in the towel.
11. Monday. I called a girl who I had briefly interacted with online. She said she was free and available for lunch. She was on time, a 18 year old and was quite nice in terms of helping me choose food. She came to the hotel holding my hand but did not get lucky. She said, she had her period. In fact, whenever I touched her breasts, she was not comfortable. I understood they were tender and did not look forward to being touched. Fortunately, she agreed to give me a hand job no blow job but it just shows young woman do not understand much of a man's private parts. Well she will grow up. BTW, she needed 700 pesos for a scientific calculator.
12. Monday afternoon. I got this phone call. I had earlier mentioned I had met a woman at a Mall helping her sister get on the escalator. I had called her on Sunday but as usual, these women there (perhaps D. R men too?) never have minutes on their phone so it went unanswered. To cut a long story short, she met me at the mall again for a pizza and came back to the hotel.
13. Monday night was uneventful. I tried going to a club called MOMA. Place was closed just a waste of taxi money.
14. An interesting experience was riding the carro publico. A Toyota corolla. In four on the backseat. Even when there are young women pressing against you, I sure felt apologetic about creeping into others' personal space.
15. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: In Sosua by Metro bus from Santiago. Had very interesting conversation with two Dominican young men both were university educated engineers. Sosua : You know all about it by now.
16. Two things struck me during this trip:
Women are possessive even when they are P4P and even if you treat all of them respectfully. I wonder if it is business sense or something primordial.
No matter how hard you look for an experience that is both physically and emotionally satisfying, you just cannot go back to where you were in your twenties. You have gone through too many years of adult experiences that just cannot be jettisoned.

No matter how hard you look for an experience that is both physically and emotionally satisfying, you just cannot go back to where you were in your twenties. You have gone through too many years of adult experiences that just cannot be jettisoned.[/QUOTE]It is the law of diminishing returns, my friend. If you have been married for 15 years and then get divorced, the prospect of having the opportunity to have sex with some fresh virgin (in the Biblical sense of no children) of 21 can be quite overwhelming. When you have had sex with 20 such in the last year and have formed the correct impression that the young ladies concerned were more interested in what you have in your wallet than what you have in your pants, then the novelty begins to wear off.
Anyway, in a short space of time you managed to have sex with a variety of women, even though you were in an industrial city not noted as a sex resort, so not a bad trip really. To me Sosua is more fun, but finding out for yourself is real fun.
To anyone reading this-when Tempoecorto came to the DR for the first time a couple of months ago, I met him at PoP airport and he was immediately game for the publico taxi to Sosua, even though it meant walking up to the highway and standing in the dust at the side of the road under a hot sun with no shade waiting for a taxi or guagua, so this is a guy who does not mind getting the full Dominican experience.
My Spirit Flight arrives in Santiago at 2:00 am in the morning. What is the price for a taxi to the Hodelpa Centro Hotel? Where are the reliable taxi cab vendors when you exit the airport that will not try to price gauge a gringo.

You could try a2b transfers: [url]http://www.a2btransfers.com/[/url] Or coco tours: [url]http://www.cocotours.com/.[/url] There are probably other reputable taxi companies in Santiago, I don't have their contact info. At 2am should be an easy, fast ride to Hodelpa Centro Plaza Hotel. If you trust the taxi driver, you could ask him to stop off at Pasion (next to Zeus cabana) on the way from the airport to the hotel.
Hodelpa Centro Plaza is a good hotel, I was there last July. They have smoking rooms with balconies that overlook calle de sol. The guys who work at the Hodelpa Hotels (el gran almirante and the centro plaza) have always been excellent with me. Hodelpa Centro Plaza has free wifi and a good breakfast buffet with a guy who will make eggs (omelettes) the way you want. When I stay at the Centro Plaza, I use the pool at the el gran almirante hotel, (you can stop at the front desk of the gran almirante and they will give you a key that opens the door for the pool deck).
At the Hodelpa El Gran Almirante, there is a nice pool, with a bar, gym and a massage room. I got a massage there my last trip (not cheap by Dominican prices, about $40US for a 1 hour massage). I was naked on the massage table, the massage lady removed the towel which covered my private parts.
Freddy is the long time bartender at the pool bar. I never had a problem entering with whomever I wanted at the El Gran Almirante or the Hodelpa Centro Plaza.

But I always wondered about the massage. Was a sexual service available? (was the masseuse worth looking at?).
I once had a cab driver recommend to me a massage at Gold's Gym; he claimed the ladies there were quite willing to provide any type of happy ending I desired. My masseuse was beautiful but she had me leave my shorts on, she buttoned her shirt up to hide her considerably large breasts, and barely muttered a word during the 45 minutes I was with her. I never got around to making the request as I was certain I already knew the answer. The massage, by the way, was quite good.

The air-conditioner blows about mid-section of the massage table. I have gotten massages twice at the Hodelpa, two different chicas, both had good size breasts (Santiago probably has more chicas with ample breasts than chicas with ample ass). The second massage, the lady told me to lay on my back (she also stayed in the room while I took off all my clothes). I laid on my back (most massage chicas tell you to lay on your stomach to start) , I covered my junk with a small towel, the chica removed the towel, the A / C was blowing directly on my junk. She got as close to my junk as possible without touching it. No freebies, no happy endings. The first massage chica climbed up on the table and used her forearms and bit of her elbows to massage my back.
Golds Gym is in Plaza Internacional, Moma Bar is in Plaza Internacional as well.

It was nice to have a taste of both places. Both are stimulating (pun intended) in their own ways.
Finding out all by yourself is even more fun as is learning about another culture including food. This of course means at times one has to take a chance including bearing with solitude and boredom but I can live with that. I took the bus and that too was nice offering me a glimpse into the land and people.
Not that I can wax about what's in my pants but in my college days, my stomach was flat, there was no wallet to speak of and I had a head full of hair. Somehow I still see myself that way in my mind's eye. The problem is that the girls see me the way you mentioned. Well. I am a f. Ing romantic. As the Singer manu chao sang: que voy hacer. Je ne sais plus.
I hope life is treating you well.

Anyone know the best options for getting to the Samana area from Santiago? I'm thinking about renting a car or taking a bus from Santiago.
Thanks
[QUOTE=Pescador Loco; 1191039]First, very nice floating tits on the Playa Rincon girl! Nicely done!
Thanks for details on room pricing. At first I thought it would be crazy expensive and not possible to stay more than 4 hours or the night but she assured me it was. Good to have confirmation of that. Good tip on xtra sheets and AC. Hate when it is super cold in hotels.
I have attached pics of the novia (this is not the Sto Dom med student posted earlier!). She is girl next door type (total Gazelle in Helpmann's nomenclature) who very comfortable with her body, wants to go to nude beach, have sex on beach, pose nude for magazine or website, go to a sex club (well that is more my idea but she has not ruled it out yet). Yada yadda. Maybe even do some softcore video. It is like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry stumbles onto the bi-chick and George tells him his luck "is like discovering plutonium by accident!" But that was in the 90s. With girls coming of age in the Facebook "look at me" era is it really that rare? I know of one adult agency in South Florida but you have to have full US documentation and they don't travel. She has a cute face and nice body. Might be something we might want to explore. Even though adult industry seems flooded with content these days.
Anybody know of reliable or established adult modeling contacts in DR? Is there a DR porn industry?[/QUOTE]Be very careful how 'vocally' you promote her porn ambitions. There have been some arrests recently of foreigners being accused of promoting immoral acts (just basic porn). As for reputable porn, if she's super stacked, you could try to contact score. If she's willing to do group sex, you can try contacting thehabibshow. Com as they have done some tours of the Dominican Republic in the past.
If all that doesn't work, you can PM me her contact details and I'm happy to make some videos with her.
had my third trip to d. r last week for six days.
1. got to santiago at an ungodly 2. 00 am or so, thanks to a jetblue flight. had some qualms about hitting the road at that hour and in fact the dominican traveler next to me on flight told me, he too will stake it out at the airport until the first rays of el sol. so went and hung about the eating place at the airport. the area has internet which was a serious blessing. i also chatted up a woman serving food, while had a beer and a day old empan ada at that wee hour. i got her phone number too but she was married and was not too keen on taking chances. the best thing was that she told me the way she travels to the airport. being the cheapskate that i am, i hate to pay the 700 pesos i had to pay last time for a short ride to town. i found out from her that a carro publico (forget the number. p-a?) plies between the airport and the city center for "20" pesos. of course with other six people in a toyota corolla. so at 6. 00 am when i could not take it any longer, i ventured out and caught this carro, with no passenger yet, just outside the airport gate. put my small bag in the trunk and the driver babbled something in his domenican, most of which i did not catch. except that he will have to do a detour. i said fine, that i was in no hurry. so he takes off and soon we are in "campo". banana plantation and dirt road. just a little while back, i was like. wow. i like this adventure in the madrugada. but suddenly, i was getting a little frazzled. where the h. this guy is taking me? you could see guys walking their cows to somewhere through the early morning light and then the driver comes and stops in front of a small house and hollers. a woman responds. and then we wait as he kills the engine. slowly, with probing, i find out he picks up these people from the boondocks and takes them to where they work in town. soon the car had three women (old and older.) in the back. they were all courteous. all saying 'buen dia' as they boarded. i paid the guy for me and the in-existent passenger on the front seat plus an extra for my luggage (a princely sum of 100 pesos) and he would later deliver me direct in front of the hotel where i was destined (go figure. it was a route taxi). by the time i was dropped at the hotel, i was the lone passenger again. the driver happily yakking about his second marriage in his fluent dominican. and i straining my ears to catch all the missing 's's to make some sense. it was fun!
2. soon, around 10. 00 am my first visitor showed up. i came to know her last trip but did not 'consummate'. this time, finally! i had a lot of tension which got released in two separate go-es. god, that was good and then she took off, with the deal she would show up the next morning. the high schools here start at 600 pm what a good thing! (smiley). that night was uneventful and i needed the sleep not having slept a wink the night before.
3. the second morning was equally pleasant. with the same 19 yr old high school-er. the evening got me a little upset though. met a woman around the monument and restaurants there are pricey but after some good food, it ended up with nothing. not even a promise! f. k!
4. the third night, met a girl who turned out to be beautiful (for my taste). had a great sunny smile and wonderfully attractive breasts that domenican women are not shy to flaunt! but because of rain, she came very late and so we had to go to look for food elsewhere. in what i thought was a fancy place while i was looking for simple domenican food white rice, habichuela, and meat. what struck me was that the girl chose some real simple and not-pricey food unlike the woman the night before. i started to take an interest in her. there was a plan to go to dance but it was late for her so let her go but first she came to the hotel to try out a gift i had for her. unfortunately, she made a dash soon after. next day, she texted that she does not want to come to the hotel room. and. in the evening she was in my room and we spent at least an hour chatting and drinking bailey's i had bought exclusively for her. before heading out to ahi. i had a most enjoyable time there. first at the bar, kissing this young college woman in public with her coyly warming up ( (thanks to the dominican tradition, reminded me almost of my f. ing native india, where no one shows any affection in public) and later in the dance hall. where in the classic dominican style, the women dance the reggaeton, grinding against their menfolk's crotch which apparently is just, well, fine. go figure! i already described my ride back with her in a taxicab in another forum. she in the darkness of the cab, relaxed allowing me to enjoy kissing as i sucked on her delectable tongue.
5. the fourth day, i realized that i was tense again and not having any option during the day, took the help of p4p. by the time the night came, i was at the las colinas mall, waiting for another large breasted woman, who came from la vega. this girl had already made me promise that i would not take her to the hotel. so we ate, drank at the top floor and went for a dominican movie a typical 20 year old woman (or man) would enjoy. you know, the 'inane' ha-ha stuff! she had to go back to work to her town (but she had a cop father in santiago who was keeping her daughter.) the next morning so i did not have much to hope for but halfway during the movie, she got a call about the child so she left in a huff. she texted me the morning after: 'sabes estaba loca por probar tus labio q me regalaras un beso pero como no melo pediste why me daba verguensa desirtelo' all in its sweet time baby as i acted the perfect debonair!
6. i packed my bag for puerto plata the next morning as a young woman was coming to see me there for a day traveling four hours. on the bus i met a bunch of girls and a guy who are from my neck of the woods. it was nice to be able to chat with someone in an intelligible language again. they were all college kids, doing internship in santiago at the catholic university.
7. the girl in samana turned out to be a beautiful experience. she came for a day but had to stretch her stay for one more day because of a strike and was worried stiff that her mother would be upset as she had spun a yarn. she too was so shy that i laughed my heart out. she would have no trouble doing a fellatio but you could not shake her out of the towel she wrapped herself in. only by the second night, she had grudgingly agreed to sleep in the nude under the sheets, though. she took me to the local dominican restaurant. for 250 pesos we had a great meal including beer. she tried the bikini i brought her and her large breasts were beautifully overflowing. she then went for a swim, i did not feel like. so she was frolicking all alone in the water waving at me. i was looking at the beautiful blue color of water as the sun slowly peeked through the clouds, and looked at this marvelous young lass brimming with energy and a song from india slowly formed on my lips, written in the classical omar khayam couplet style by a muslim indian poet:
' o giver of all things, give me the boundless energy of the waves,
and, just for once, give me my youth back'
'even if you were to fill the goblet with nothing but water
i swear on your youth my pretty bar tender, that i will get tipsy'
and my eyes fogged up. when she came out of the water, she noticed my eyes were red and asked me why; how can you explain to an 18 year old, what went through my mind?
the rest was a blur.

a lovely report, tempo, and i loved your poem.
it brought to mind the great rumi poem "the caravan" which so beautifully reminds me that each day is new and life is a tabula rasa on which we may write a beautiful beginning.
perhaps you know it? if not, please indulge me to gift you and this great dr board:
come, come, whoever you are,
wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
ours is not a caravan of despair.
even if you have broken your vow a thousand times before,
it doesn't matter. come, come yet again, come.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Hotel Aloha Sol, [url]http://www.alohasol.com/[/url], chica friendly, about $50US per night (BoricuaOnline has stayed there). It is on calle de sol, a main street in the old part of santiago, numerous stores and places to eat located nearby. The monument is about 6 blocks up calle de sol from the aloha sol hotel. Calle de sol is a one way street, walk in the same direction as the vehicular traffic up the hill and you will see the monument. Between the aloha sol hotel and the monument, about 4 blocks from aloha sol hotel is Tette Bar. Facing the monument is the Matum Hotel and Casino, which I have been told has a disco. Puerto de Sol restaurant is another venue that I saw crowded late one night (faces the monument). On the street behind Kuka Makara and Montezuma (Bar / Restaurant) is a street with several bars. Ahi Bar is popular.

1/2 block from the Aloha Sol is the Hodelpa Centro Plaza Hotel. I have stayed at the Centro Plaza and entered with guests without a problem. Price of the Centro Plaza is about $100 per night, free wifi, free breakfast buffet. If you stay at the centro plaza you can use the pool at the hodelpa el gran almirante hotel.
Alberto Suites, Hotel Platino are other options in Santiago. Alberto Suites seems it is about 5 blocks from the monument, price I have read is in the $50US range (I have not stayed there). Hotel Platino was chica friendly the one time I stayed there, I paid about $65US, it is not really close to the monument, it is across the street from a large University.

[QUOTE=Infamous Man; 1233482]Hey guys,
How much is the bus ride from.
Santiago to Puerto Plata and where do I catch the bus.
Or would it be easier renting a car and going to puerto plata.[/QUOTE]There are three bus companies that go from Santiago to Puerto Plata. Fare is about 120 pesos (US$3) one way. Which one you take might depend exactly to where in Pto Pta you want to go and from where in Santiago you are starting.
Javilla Tours terminus is on the Northern edge of the city. Their buses are basic, local style, and stop at every village en route or anywhere else on demand. Don't use if you are in a hurry or want comfort or have luggage. Do use if you are traveling light, it is not a hot day, and you want to experience a bit of local color. Riding Javilla Tours I have had an infant dumped in my lap to look after and, very briefly, a cage of chickens. At the Pto Pta end they go as far as the Hospital (where you could change to a publico if travelling on towards Field of Dreams or Sosua) , then circle back through the town to their depot at La Javilla. One advantage of this bus is, if going to Blackbeards, they will stop at the entrance to Costambar on demand.
Caribe Tours use modern, air-conditioned buses (often very cold inside so take a sweater). They have two termini in Santiago. One at Las Jardinas on the SE side of the city and one at Las Colinas on the Northern edge. At the Pto Pta end they have a terminus in the city not far from La Javilla. The same bus then continues after a 20 minute wait to Los Charamicos. They won't stop anywhere on demand.
Metro also use modern, air-conditioned buses (also very cold inside so take a sweater). They have a terminus in Santiago at Las Jardinas and another in Pto Pta on Calle Beller inland from La Sirena. Their buses continue on to Sosua. They have the advantage of finishing in El Batey in Sosua rather than in Los Charamicos. They won't stop anywhere on demand.
Don't rent a car unless you really need one to get to otherwise inaccessible places. Public transport in the DR is very cheap.

However taxi drivers have a book of a couple of hundred pages regarding the laws of driving in the DR, so there must be something in there, though I have not looked through the book. But if you are right, then what happens when it is not clear who has most money, or when both are equally rich or poor?
Hey guys,
I am headed to DR for the first time in late February (the 24th-27th). I am planning to hook up with a "friend" (and possibly make new ones). I have already purchased my flight with Jet Blue and reserved a room at the Hodelpa Centro Plaza. (its running me close to $400 for my stay.) *Deluxe room with all the trimmings / free breakfast*
However, I recently found a 3 bedroom. 2 bath vacation home on trip advisor for $80 a night ($240 total) and it is located four blocks away from the Hodelpa Centro Plaza. I have confirmation from the owner that there is internet, a fully stocked kitchen, and television available. I am very tempted to go for the house but I can't help but get this feeling that it's too good to be true. (No guarantee with security / safe, no cudela checks, etc.)
Should I listen to my gut or pick the clear choice in the vacation home?
Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated.

If you book with Orbitz you could use promo code "dealpro10" to save 10% on the cost of a room on the orbitz webpage. Centro plaza has smoking rooms with balconies, if you are a smoker. The breakfast buffet is nice and free internet throughout the hotel.
You could reserve your first night at the centro plaza and then visit the home rental to see how it is and possibly switch over to that place. If the home rental place is no good, you could stay at the centro plaza or switch to the aloha sol (about $50US. 1/2 block from the centro plaza) , or switch to the Matum Hotel, or Alberto's Suites or Hotel Platino, these places are less expensive than the centro plaza.

I have had Santiago women meet me at Montezuma Bar, which sits in front of the Monument. Good service at Montezuma Bar, it is somewhat open-air layout, so you can sit at a table that faces the entrance and watch for your chica to arrive.

If you are ok with drinking early in the afternoon, there's a colmado that plays music down the block from Ahi bar on the corner of Las Carreras and Tolentino (good for people watching). If you are feeling gritty, you can hang out around taxi & bus stand on Salvador Cucurullo. When you get hungry, they have great $RD120 lunches on the second floor of El Encontro and if looking for some cheap action, there's a chica bar down the block off of calle del sol, I think it's on Espana, left hand side before you hit that big street called Av. Circum. (sp?). You can hit Gold's Gym in Plaza Internacional. Or you can take a quick day trip on the Metro bus to Sosua for the beach and catch the last bus out of there about 6 or 7pm, I think.
To the OP,
Santiago is a working city so there's very little for a tourist to do since most are generally working 9-5 and going straight home afterwords, waiting till Fri-Sat-Sun to hang out. Good Luck.
[QUOTE=Jaosousa; 1177100]Calor means hot or warm in Spanish.
Santiago being inland and somewhat elevated, can be a little less warm than other Dominican cities. Santiago is a nice city, good service at some hotels and restaurants. There are some fine looking chicas in Santiago, not all are fine, but there are fine chicas there.
For me Santiago chicas are all about the money. I saw one Santiago chica my last trip who I thought I would have sex with, I have chatted with her online for two years, seen her on webcam, seen sexy photos of her. She wanted a digital cam (I have my doubts with most Santiago chicas) , I went to Walmart and bought her a $40 Vivitar piece of shit digital camera. After chatting with her online for a few years, I thought she might provide some service. I met her in Santiago my last trip, first time in person, she was friendly, nice tits, but no Miss Universe. I figured I would get something from her. I gave her the $40US digital camera and all I got was a peck on the lips, nothing more. She said it was the first time meeting me in person and she could not do anything (although it is never too early for some Santiago chicas to ask for money) , after two years of chatting on line and seeing her half nude on cam and in photos, all I got was a peck on the lips. I got played, it happens. I gave her taxi money and sent her home. Later she told me that the digital camera was nothing, that she wanted a car and a VISA. I said to myself this chica is barking up the wrong tree, no service and she expects a car and a VISA and she is not super fine. Many Santiago chicas and other chicas in El Cibao, believe they deserve more and don't have to make an effort to make a guy completely happy. I prefer places in DR where the chicas are real and will fuck my brains out, like in Santo Domingo and other areas in DR.
From Boricua Online I learned, don't give some chicas a gift until after they have provided service.[/QUOTE]You wouldn't happen to remember the name of this chica would you? Was it Keyla by any chance?
These are the first photos I have ever posted. I feel a need to contribute so I hope you like tham and they are posted correctly. I use a cheap travel camera so there is not much that can be done about that. More to follow when I have time.
I will be in Santiago for a few days the last week of April. Which of the hotel / casinos has the chicas hanging around? Thanks
Stopped in Hooters on my way from the airport to Puerto Plata.
Had a good time and the food was typical Hooters food. Wonderful way to begin a Dominican trip.
The little map is from my GPS mapping software. Hooters is just off the main road so if you are driving to Puerto Plata or Sosua you do not have to go out of your way to have a quick bite.
[QUOTE=Taxguy666;1256306]I will be in Santiago for a few days the last week of April. Which of the hotel / casinos has the chicas hanging around?

I checked into the Matum which has a casino next door but in the rear of the Matum where I parked the rental car, I found a disco with about 10 or 12 chicas and this was on a Wed. Nite. Pulled a nice big tit 20 year old nice ass and pretty face. On my last trip met another chica at the same disco end up taking her to one of the short time caban. I saw a few SW in the area of the Monument a few don't look bad.

Claro is not a subsidiary of Verizon. It was sold to America Movil which is owned by Carlos Slim. The second biggest stock holder is AT&T.
You will have to drive through Santiago to get to Puerto Plata. You can ask the driver to stop in Santiago to buy one, or you (probably easier) can get it at La Sirena on the Malecon in Puerto Plata where there are both an Orange store and a Claro store inside and it is air-conditioned and has clean bathrooms, and you can eat an ice cream or swig a cold drink while you wait.

You can get a SIM at the huge La Sirena just before you get to Santiago on the right hand side.
Thanks again for the info, guys.
The last time I was and Dr I had a 2am flight in Santiago lucky me it was a Sunday night there's a nice little bar right down the street from the airport it was pretty pack I had so much fun on it there was so Manny good looking girls I eonde if they are pros because my friend told me Santiago girls are different than Sosua girls.

Hotel Aloha Sol and Hotel Matum are two other options, that are probably guest friendly. Alberto Suites I have never visited, but I have read it is guest friendly and supposedly good value for a low price. If you stay at the Hodelpa Centro Plaza you can use the pool at the Hodelpa Gran Almirante.
Monday nights (when I was in santiago, years ago) was birthday night at Monte Bar. Las Colinas Rancho Tipico was packed on a Friday or Saturday night, with a place that has pool tables attached to it. Ahi Bar near the monument usually has a bunch of people on weekend nights. For higher end type bars, look at a site like Bufeo com to get an idea.
P4P venues, Passions is the best known. Casa Blanca and Ilusiones were (are) on the same street as Plaza Internacional. Be careful with the SWs near the Monument.
There are supposedly other low cost P4P venues, maybe some car washes and other bars. Maybe some other members will post additional information.

[QUOTE=HeadRack;1304123]How long does it take to get from STI to Sousa?

Santiago has rush hour traffic Monday-Friday, driving through Santiago during rush hour traffic will be slower. During heavy rains, the ride will take longer. If you get stuck behind several large trucks going through the mountains, unless you have a fast car and are able to pass, the ride will take longer. If there is an accident, the traffic might stop. If there is a concert at a certain venue in Puerto Plata, the traffic might stop.
The small mountain road you can pick up by making a right from Avenida Estrella Sadhala, where the Plaza Hache building is, take that road straight to the small mountain road. Years ago a taxi driver picked me up at STI (Santiago airport) around midnight and took the small mountain road, we got to Sosua in under an hour. The small mountain road is not recommended for newbies driving at night.
For the main mountain road to get to puerto plata, take Avenida Estrella Sadhala (will become Highway 1) , (north west) to Navarrete, where there will be a turn off for the main mountain road to Puerto Plata.
You should check with your credit card company and if you are really worried you should check with your consulate. Dominican insurance companies are known to sell policies that don't give the coverage as promised. You can buy insurance for tires, windshield, even lost / stolen personal items. The insurance companies don't always tell you the coverage begins where your home country's insurnce policy coverage ends. Look into it, you might be surprised. Have fun.
[QUOTE=Professor 1;1304368]When I rented a car, I used Hertz in Santo Domingo. I only took the Casa del Conductor coverage, and Hertz gave me the address and telephone number to call if necessary. I will not rent a car without it. I cannot speak for others, but the other companies that I canvassed could not give me that coverage. In fact, two referred me to Hertz.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Sammy Sosa; 1303924]Thanks, Joasousa,
Out of curiosity: do you take any insurance with the car, or only rely on your credit card coverage?[/QUOTE]Alamo-National offers 4 types of insurance on their online reservation page with their prices (Hertz online for Dom Rep tells you to get the price of additional insurance at the counter. ISG Member Helpmann had a negative experience with Hertz in the Dom Rep). My Mastercard credit card provides coverage for Collision Damage Waiver / Theft Protection (CDW-TP) , so I Decline the insurance that Alamo offers for $19. 50 (Collision Damage Waiver / Theft Protection). When you decline Alamo's Collision Damage Waiver / Theft Protection, it is mandatory to purchase Third Party Liability insurance for $9US per day. I also purchase Tires And Windshield Protection for $3. 75 per day.
I have asked the guys at Alamo numerous times, what happens if there is an accident with personal injuries to another person and they have told me no jail time. A guy at Alamo who I have known for over 5 years told me a story about a guy who rented from Alamo in santo domingo airport about a year and half ago, drove the rental to boca chica, had an accident with a guy on a motorcycle and the motorcycle guy died, the alamo worker said the renter did not go to jail.
I have rented over 20 times with alamo and never had a problem (the reserved price online is the price that gets charged to my credit card). I was told several of the large rental companies, maybe hertz, nelly and a few others are owned by the same group of people.
Chevy Spark is a tiny, but good car. The Chevrolet Aveo I would not rent again (several times I had problems with that car). The Nissan Tilda is sometimes only about $25US more than the Spark, the Nissan Tilda (similar to a Nissan Versa in the US) is a better car than the Spark.
I was in the DR for a week last week and only ventured out to three other places beyond Santiago. I was supposed to go to Puerto Plata for a day but could not make it and so missed out meeting one fellow traveler there. My loss.
[b]Punta Rucia[/b]
All of you should attempt to visit this small fishing village. Not for women but to enjoy a quaint and tiny place and then to visit this place called Paradise Island.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8PGVwIvbkc&feature=related[/url]
Getting to Punta Rucia is fairly uncomplicated, autopista towards Montecristi but the last leg is a challenge. With no regular road to speak of. So it is better to have an SUV but I had a regular vehicle and managed with some luck and good lower gears. It rained like mad the night and the road was full of puddles and worse, mud and I was worried to stay stuck with my low clearance vehicle.
I went there with a woman from Villa Gonzales / outside of Santiago. The island as you see in the picture is real and the day we went there, there was no other boat other than ours. There is a restaurant run by a very nice French gentleman Arnault by name and food is excellent. His place is called something like Villa Rosa. It overlooks the beach with the only road in town sauntering in between. He has place to rent (1700 pesos per night? food probably not included?) but I really did not check this. Our two person dinner was around 1400 or so pesos, beer, wine, coffee and a shot of rum included. But we did not stay there. One can definitely spend a few days in this village, especially if you like the peace and quiet and have the right person / s to accompany you.
[b]San Francisco de Macoris[/b]
I went to this place for the first time, hoping to get lucky with a woman. Taking the scenic road. Santiago, Moca, Salcedo and then S. Francisco. The view is scenic as you can see the mountains in the distance and it looked very pretty to me. The final stretch of the road ending in the city is excellent but the road all the way, in general was rather decent. One thing about driving in the DR is often you will find women looking for a ride. Some are pros (on the autopistas) but others are regular getting to hitch a ride, lacking regular transportation. It is up to you to translate your luck into something concrete and I have experienced that. Several times and it is not complicated if one can handle some language.
There is something to be said when you have women travel to you from other cities, as has been discussed here, BUT, that I made the trip to meet someone also made the other party committed to keeping her part of the deal as a compensation if you will so we ended up in a cabana, for 4 hours, after a leisurely meal on another day of massive rain.
[b]Bonao[/b]
I drove to Bonao, again to meet a woman who lives there. Came to spend the night with me. We went for a movie as well as dinner.
[b]Santiago[/b]
The rest of the time, I stayed at Santiago. Mostly had 2/3 appointments per day. Before lunch, after lunch and the evening. All were local women (a couple from La Vega) some worked out reasonably well, some very well and some not at all but as we know, fun is in the anticipation will it happen or will it not?
Facebook: The facebook contacts worked rather well this time in that, even though I had whittled down the numbers to a low 4/5, three worked out very well and given that facebook is 'free', one may give that a shot. Once you have a hook up, you can try the friend of the friend route, to cast the net wider.
I also tried several cabanas this time because I had to. They typically are pricey 3-4 hours for almost always around 500 pesos and barring one, I stayed not more than a couple of hours.
Overall, another good experience, with people ranging from skinny 32B to 38Bs. I like them all! LOL.
Looking for folks interested in visiting the Santaigo area.
I am looking to visit early 2013 and was wondering if anyone had any tips or experience on the easiest or cheapest way to fly? I have already read the Santiago portion of the forum and found a lot of good info once I have landed.
Flying there seems to be a pain with all the airport switching in NYC or long layovers! I have lots of flexibility, so I want to avoid hassle as much as possible.
Thanks!

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;1372510]Any tips for gaming chics from STI on Facebook to set up "appointments"?[/QUOTE]Well, I give you two examples. The conversation right from the beginning so you can see I do not have any magic catch. First one worked the other did not. I did not know anyone of them. All I got to see are their profile (friend of the friend) and pic and then a random call on my part. You can notice two different personalities (as you notice the first one was a piece of cake. The second one was a bright one, in college. I chatted for much longer but to no avail. Well truth be told, she said she was moving to Argentina so I called it a day after a bunch of such exchanges) in the two examples. Sometimes I get lucky, other times draught.

Any specific question based on this, ask away. Good luck!
At my last trip last Month, rental car companies refused to waive collision & theft insurance, because Visa & Mastercard do not let them hold $1000+ on your credit card anymore, in case of damage to your car. Tried several of the major international rental car and got the same story. Budget in Santo Domingo even showed me the letter they received from Visa / Mastercard saying no more hold on cards in the Dominican Republic. This, of course, increases daily rental cost by $25+/day.
Nelly at SDQ did take my Mastercard though, without the collision insurance. Being a local rental car agency, maybe they did not get the letter from Visa / Mastercard yet.
Rental car companies told me you can still get the insurance waiver with an American Express. Just got the JetBlue AmEx with car rental insurance (good investment anyway, JetBlue being the airline I fly the most those days)
(to Joa: I still owe you a beer. Next Month?)

Sammy Sosa, just think, how much a $1, 000 hold will help you in case of a theft? They will held YOU unless your CC has a rental vehicle cost balance. You need a paid waiver.
The $1000+ hold is what is required by the rental company in the DR to waive collusion & theft insurance. It has nothing to do with what you would end up paying if uninsured. Sorry for not being more clear.
(I personally have collision & theft coverage from my Credit Card and personal auto insurance, hence I have no reason to use the car rental's one, except possibly to save some paper work in case of claim)

After de-planing you'll have maybe a 2 hour wait at the bus station. The Metro bus line ends right smack in the center of Sosua. If you don't have a lot of baggage, either take a 3 minute walk to a hotel or use a motorcycle taxi. 50pesos. Do not carry a lot of cash, use your debit card at a BANK ATM for pesos. Happy Hunting
I too am flying into Santiago and arriving some time around 2:30 am with my final destination being the north coast. I am not renting a car this trip, but rather doing the taxi to the bus station thing. By the time I pick up my luggage, buy my tourist card and clear customs, it will be 3 or 3:30 am. I cannot check into my hotel until early afternoon, and I don't look forward to sitting around the airport or bus station for several hours.
I would LOVE to get a few hours sleep before I make my trek via Caribe Tours. I am cheap and trying to save money for the chicas, and I am wondering if taking a taxi to a cabana, sleep for 4-5 hours and then taxi it to the bus station for my final leg to the north coast makes sense.
I am open to any other suggestions and if the cabana thing is good, which one would your suggest and how much will it cost?
Any input is appreciated as I don't look forward to starting out my trip sitting around waiting and them being so tired that I am a walking zombie.

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69;1386465]Ask every dude on the plane where they are going, then hitch a ride.[/QUOTE]This is an appropriate suggestion. I always land in Santiago and at an ungodly hour and pass the night at the airport waiting for the daylight. Last trip I got there, I showed two guys the location to buy the tourist card. Evidently it was their first time. Later I saw them coming up to the food court and so we chatted and had beer together. One guy called up a taxi driver and then I spoke to the taxi man in Spanish to iron out the details for the Sosua trip and they left. If the cost is split, the ride gets better so there is incentive on all sides to share a ride.
Took a cab from El Conde to Metro Tours and caught the bus to Satiago. Checked in at Los Jardines and stopped at Jumbo for a bite to eat. Pulled this chica's number that was selling some products in Jumbo. May try to get her to meet me at TGIF for a few drinks tomorrow since its 2 blocks from my hotel. Also stopped by both malls and didn't see Hooters. Maybe it closed up. My wing pulled a nice chica that works at one of the kiosks in Plaza Las Americas and she started blowing up his cell an hour later. Planning to hit Soho and maybe Monte Bar tonight. Also ran into 3 cueros at the casino up the street that made it clear they are available.

Meant to say Plaza International below and Central Mercado. Anyway, went to Soho because tonight was ladies night. The place had a few single women and many groups of friends. Met a 21 year old student who is stunning fine. Danced a lot with her and my wing and I took her and her friend to get a late night meal at Central. She and I both had sancocho. The food is cheap and traditional. I tried to get her to come to my room but it was 3 when we finished eating and she had to get up early for work and school so I have the number and plan to follow up.

The key to banging chicas for me has always been about options. I had 4 plans today.
Plan A was the chica I pulled at the Super Mercado. We were supposef to hook up at 8 pm but something came up. She texted and told me she would explain tomorrow.
Plan B was a big titty light skin chica I met today in front of Aloha Sol. She said she couldn't leave the house tonight but I think I can get her to visit me in Sosua or POP because she loves the beach and my wing wants to head up there tomorrow.
Plan C is a chica I pulled at lunch near one of the univetsities. She didn't answer my text.
Plan D works near my hotel and I met her today as well. We talked about going dancing but she invited me over to her appartment first where she livez with her 12 year old son. Before I met up with her, I had some drinks with my wing and his chica and then we checked out Level. It was ladies night and the talent was rediculous. I could have collected a few numbers but I was numbered out for the day and ready to smash.
Took a cab to plan D's place and her kid was asleep. Its a small 1 bedroom so not much space since the living room was small. She wanted to go out so we hit Lovera. The club had male dancers so it was packed with dimes dressed to the T. Plan D started getting touchy feely and st arted kissing me in the club. When we left the club she seemed apprehensive about giving me some at her place because her son was there sleeping. Knowing that I'm going to Sosua tomorrow I was persistent that we have sex tonight. I wound up smashing with her kid in the next room. I was trying to do a quiet fuck but she started the aye papi shit and moaning as she was coming. I let her ride till she came then went doggy style since she has a big ass. Pulled the rubber off when I felt the soldiers linning up and busted a gigantic wad of cum on her ass. It was 3 am and she has to get up at 6 so I cleaned my dick and caught a cab back to the hotel. I'm going to miss hanging out with normal chics since we are heading to Sosua now.

Forget the name of the most expensive hotel in town close to McD. But did not know there was another hotel called Los Jardines hidden in the backstreets there. Wonder what the prices are like there. Also this Plaza International has a hotel. I thought it was a mall.
It's often hard to leave the low hanging fruit in Sosua. This is always the situation for me but when I get to Santiago I always know I made the right chice. This time was no different. I'd been texting a 24 year old university student I met in Santiago on a daily basis even though I had left Santiago for Sosua. I'm flying back to NYC from STI so I knew I'd have one more shot at hanging out in Santiago.
I took Metro to Santiago and the bus got packed in POP. There were several cuties on the bus but I could only nap on this ride. Got settled into my room and text my chica. She was closeby with a GF and met me within 20 minutes. Didn't think I would see her that fast and had mixed emotions because I wanted an opportunity to go check on a Plan B just incase things went awry.
I was hungry and my chica was thirsty so we went to Kukaramacara. I don't really like this spot but it was convinient. I ordered the chicken fajitas, which were better than the ones I had at the burrito spot in sosua and cheaper. We also drank 2 grandes. Afterwards we decided to pick up a small bottle of Brugal and go to my room and watch some TV o_O.
I have to admit I was a bit surprised at this point cause this girl alwayed played the goodie role with me and I know from past experience a girl only comes to my room if she wants to get busy, especially when liquor is involved. So we drank a little and playfully started kissing after I began to complment her on her lips. Next thing I know she got very aggressive with the kissing and the tongue action. 15 minutes later I was reaching for a condom and the rest is history.
Although she is 24, she lives with both parents who were texting her about her whereabouts since it was now 8:00 and dark so she had to leave quickly. I offered to give her cab money but she ignored the offer and said she would catch a publico so I walked her several blocks awa and watched her get into a publico and head home. When she got home she called and texted me about 20 times to appoligize for having to leav so quickly.
I took a nap and headed out to grab a bite around the monument. Every bar and club was packed and I saw some lovely ladies out mostly with dates and some with groups celebrating birthdays. For some reason the urge to use the bathroom came on me so I decided to head back to my room a bit early and crash. I think I have Santiago figured out now and look forward to my next visit.
Thanks for the good reports! I'll be in Santiago for 3 days at the end if the month before going to Sosua. I can't wait to see how things go with the non pros I've lined up. Plus I want to see how many new ones I can meet. I'll be sure to check out the malls!

Next thing I know she got very aggressive with the kissing and the tongue action. 15 minutes later I was reaching for a condom and the rest is history.
Although she is 24, she lives with both parents who were texting her about her whereabouts since it was now 8:00 and dark so she had to leave quickly. I offered to give her cab money but she ignored the offer and said she would catch a publico so I walked her several blocks awa and watched her get into a publico and head home. When she got home she called and texted me about 20 times to appoligize for having to leav so quickly.
I took a nap and headed out to grab a bite around the monument. Every bar and club was packed and I saw some lovely ladies out mostly with dates and some with groups celebrating birthdays. For some reason the urge to use the bathroom came on me so I decided to head back to my room a bit early and crash. I think I have Santiago figured out now and look forward to my next visit.[/QUOTE]
If you prepare the girls for your visit it is like you have been dating for while. First date sex is rare with non pros so you need make it a third date look a like. I had a non pro show up with great lingerie and a willing atitude.
[QUOTE=Brother P;1393808]Thanks for the good reports! I'll be in Santiago for 3 days at the end if the month before going to Sosua. I can't wait to see how things go with the non pros I've lined up. Plus I want to see how many new ones I can meet. I'll be sure to check out the malls![/QUOTE]

Hello fellas, This is my third trip to Sousa and Puerta Plata and planning on venturing out to Santiago on this trip. I would like some advice on where to go in Santiago to find pros, semi-pros, non pros and places to go like car washes, clubs and any other places for some actions? Any advice will help.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]ISG member Orgasmico recently spent some time there and he may be able to advise. Perhaps you can send a private message to him?
My understanding is there is a place called La Pasion, close to the Airport which is a Pro place but I have not been there. There is a club I visited called Ahi bar.I had gone there with a woman on two separate occasions. Nice place but do not think it is a pick up bar. There is a disco on top of Las Colinas mall which is quite hip and close by there is a car wash. If I recall Kelven car wash. Closer to that mall but I went early and did not find it particularly worth the time.
I heard a lot about this bar and finally had an opportunity to go there with a girl and her sister. The bar is close to the highway linking santiago to Puerto Plata.
What I did not like is that unless apparently you buy stuff un bottles, you do not get to the "VIP" areas which are like divans in the corners so sitting on metal high chairs was not really my cuppa tea. The place got filled up by 1 AM and there was a live band. The sister taught me a few moves in Salsa and bachata which I enjoyed much. There were no single chicks that I could see. In other words people coming in had both males and females and it did not feel like a pick up place rather a place where locals go to have fun. Having said that the sister danced with one of the waiters who was a good dancer. It is quite true that if you can dance, it is definitely an ice breaker in this land.
Oh, there was one single caucasian guy. Fairly scrawny and tall, in his late sixties.could dance and had an eye candy. A young woman likely 19/20 who was all over him. It was clear that she liked him a lot and showed her affection without restraint. I almost felt jealous even though I was with an attractive young woman myself.
I do not know how many share this experience.
This time, two women came to see me when they stared their periods (well, in the case of one, I had to buy pads for her. Coming out of the movie theater in Santiago). She did an absolute slip shod job of an oral. And the other did a fantastic one. Well hazards of the trade!
What was interesting. Something that I wanted to check with you guys, was an experience with one (third) woman. She was fine and as I was kissing her and smelling her breathing, I recalled something based on my long gone past. So I asked her, if she was expecting her period soon and she nodded rather surprised. I told her, that I could smell something in her breathing. A slightly sweet odor that I have also experienced in the past which told me that she was on her way to her next month. She looked at me disbelievingly but I am quite certain of what I say: I wonder if any of you out there have had similar olfactory experiences.
Aren't women the greatest gift for men? LOL
Finally I will be makin my return trip to the DR. In 2 weeks I can finally smoke some Cubans and toke down some El Presidentes and release some stress on some lucky chicas. I'm flyin into Santiago again, last time I was lucky and some guys on the flight rented a car. I'm goin to Blackbeards and Sosua. So if anyone wants to share a cab or something let me know.

When I was in Santiago the week before last the girl (married now) who I have been dealing with longer than any other woman in DR met me at our usual spot, Fridays, when she got off of work. When we got into the car she said,"I'm on my period." I told her,"I know. I can smell it." She thought I was joking. I told her no that I was serious. I really could. And straight to the cabana we went. She said it was the end of her time. During our time in the cabana there was not a drop of blood to be found.

So I am not crazy! I did not smell the scent of a woman on the two others who had just started but on this one who was about to. But I did not kiss or sniff the other two as intensely either.

This one came to see me in Santiago from La Vega so I thought it was apt to put it under Santiago.
[QUOTE=Negro562; 1386600]If you are coming in on the late night Spirit flight and are in need of someone to pick you up and somewhere to stay until you can get the bus to the north coast, we can accommodate you?

We can have a drive pick you up from the airport and drop you off. We have free wifi internet and beds. We are new so, we are not completely setup but, we can get you out the streets.

Hello guys,
This will be my first in the north of DR next week and had harvesting many numbers from the web (dominicanCupid. Com).
I'm wondering if most of the girls are semi pros or not. They all seem to look for serious and marriage as they said.
I have values and I wouldn't tell lies and promises, would treat them well if they'd deserve it.
I expect they could ask for money or gifts also so no prob.
I would like to get your opinion guys if they could be GF and if it is safe for me.
A few days ago I chatted with one who wanted to give me her brother's number because she had 'lost' her own.
She gived few excuses when I asked when she could buy a new one so I declined her offer.
I'm suspicious and afraid to make a mistake falling into an ambush because many look really worthwhile.
If this is risky and unsafe I will turn on the classic game with hours and noche's deals for sure.
My destination is Sosua. But the direct flights to POP is off the chain. $850 R / T from New York. This is the 1st time I will fly into Santiago, this July. I arrive at 1am in the morning. I know I will need to find someplace to sleep and then take the Metro bus later after I check out. Does anybody have any info on an affordable hotel I can stay at that will receive me at 2am in the morning? Or maybe a recommended cabana? Number of a reliable taxi driver that can pick me up from the airport. I may consider staying in Santiago for a full day before going to Sosua.

Perhaps there are others more knowledgeable on that who could comment? The airport taxi can take you there and in the morning, the cabanas will call for a cab.
At Colonial, which is smack in the middle of the town, a 30 minute ride at night, the rate is about 900 pesos all inclusive. The rooms are nothing great to speak of but clean enough with A / C. They also have a higher end option on an adjacent building. 1300 pesos last checked, and rooms are better.breakfast included. The owner and his son speak English in case you do not speak Spanish.
There is another place used to be called Alberto's suites. I do not recall the new name and they used to charge about 1000 pesos. That place is actually better than Colonial in my opinion. Google for their phone number too.
I know a person I use who comes to pick me up at the airport but do you speak Spanish. He does not speak English at all. You can PM me. Not to bother others.

As I said, rather than waste a night in STI and just crash you might want to do Matum and hit Pure Disco. There is a good chance you will meet and possibly pick up a chica and bring her right up to your room.
The other hotel mentioned by Tempoecorto is a good option as well; I stayed there earlier this year for a night.

I like the idea of hooking up with a chica rather than being alone. I rejoined dominican cupid again, and am looking to see if I can pre-arrange a hookup with a Santiago chica, or one willing to meet me there (or from another town close by ). That might have me staying a day or 2 longer. I have not even booked a hotel in Sosua yet, because I just don't know how everything will play out after I exit the airport in Santiago. One thing I've learned during the course of mongering in the DR. You almost don't need a plan. Or you could have several backup plans just in case someone else spoils your plan. Very often opportunities present themselves, even when trying to go with a plan. Many times, I tried having a plan only to find that I couldn't or didn't want to stick to it because something else interesting popped up. It's especially easy for me to say that in regards to Sosua, because I'm quite comfortable there. I know where to go if I need a place to stay even without a reservation. I know how easy it is to hook up with chicas there, without having to call one up.
I am looking forward to the challenge of mongering in Santiago even though some have indicated that chicas expect way too much $$$ there. Once I get through the night, I'm sure I'll be ok. The info shared will help alot. I would much rather have a reservation in place at that hour of the night than simply winging it. Again thanks. If anything else comes to mind please share. I may find Santiago worth making it my new mongering station.
[QUOTE=Orgasmico;1432700]I stayed at this spot earlier this year.[/QUOTE]I have been trying the options shared with me. One I got in PM, and yours / Tempoecorto Filpo Pension, formerly Alberto Suites. The email on the card you shared got me no where. My email was rejected, or undeliverable. I called the cell phone and talked to Gerardo. His english is okay, but not great. (like my spanish) He was not at the hotel when I called, but he accepted my reservation over the phone for a suite with a double. He said it was 1300 pesos per night for 2 persons. With diligence I found the street name on a Santiago map even though I did not see the actual hotel on the map. On another web page, I did see a still picture of the hotel when it was Alberto Suites. It appears to be very close to the monument. Gerardo assured me the hotel is open 24 hours. So there shouldn't be any problem with me checking in early in the morning. I sent him a text to his cell phone so he has my reservation info and he has it correct.
The Colonial, and Plaza Monumental Hotel, The Matum (If I desire to pay more for my accomodations and be adventurous at the disco) also Bora Bora cabana all seem to be very good alternatives.
[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1432421]I know a person I use who comes to pick me up at the airport but do you speak Spanish. He does not speak English at all. You can PM me. Not to bother others.[/QUOTE]I notice many hotels are only a few blocks from each other. Before I consider PMing you for his contact info. What is the standard cost for a taxi from the airport to most of the various hotels within the city? If there is a reputable company (Like Apolo Taxi in SD) hanging at the airport with a fair standard rate, I'll use them. Your guy is a good option for you because you both can communicate well. If I contact him, I might botch things up trying to hook up with him for the 1st time. And I don't want us to have our wires crossed over a misunderstanding over the phone. My concern and interest in a reliable taxi, is because I always see plenty of taxi hounds at the airports, and I don't want to get into the wrong cab. Especially at that hour of the morning.
I've flown into STI 4 times in the last 6 months. There's a JetBlue flight at 6am and a spiritair at 2am and I've been on both. I hang out at the Matum on the regular now I've gotten a room there every time but the last trip so I just gambled and caught a taxi to the airport that trip. There's the Pure Disco inside and there's a couple other nite spots right outside. Tourists don't frequent these places so Spanish is a must. The pay 4 play ladies don't come out to late, so what I do is tell the guy at the cab stand to send me a chica, I tell him the type I want, and then they appear. Of course he wants a fee and the hotel is going to charge you an extra $10. It's a nice racket for them I guess but I've won money every time and I have had to treat myself. I can't really see where you will find chicas in this neighborhood I guess you can just take a stroll around the area, but be careful the traffic is insane (I almost got hit by a car). Overall it's a damn good time as long as your gambling drinks and food are complimentary. One trip I met this chica (a regular civilian) who is just beautiful, well the last trip I took her and her mother to dinner, I stay in touch with her, dunno when the panties will be droppin, but somehow I'm not worried.

I do not really know the late night prices for taxis waiting at the airport. First time, I landed DAY TIME. Sept 2011, I think I paid $30. When I first started with STI at night (or wee hour of the morning) , I used to spend the night at the airport because of security concerns and I actually used the shared taxis. Early morning. Paying 100 pesos (I think the rate is 25 pesos but I did double occupancy and had a small bag for the trunk) to get to Colonial from airport and a bit of adventure. I also rent cars these days so no real idea about taxis or if there is a good taxi company. Re, current prices, perhaps others here might know more.
Here is the problem of communication: I have had planes getting there much later than scheduled. Under such circumstances, it becomes a challenge. A) not being able to inform the waiting person and be) having the person wait there for hours or going home and returning later. And cost ramification. The other thing is that when I land I may not have a local functioning phone. Indeed I had to request a local for use of his phone because of a flight delay but getting someone to hand you over their phone is another interesting exercise and at that hour, not always pleasing.

Also July is not high season. People in the DR are not really used to email. I discovered to my chagrin. Text works better and use whatsapp from here, which is IP based and is more popular there everyday. Also check if the hotel can send you a taxi. In which case, you would not have to explain the location of the destination.
The plaza monumental is the closest coming from the airport (actually the cabanas are even closer) and it is a big building. I wanted to check it out last trip but I did not have the time so cannot speak of quality but it should be equal to Colonial. I cannot speak of cabanas like Bora bora. For a 3 hour time slot they may work but if you need the sleep or for 8 hours, not sure cost wise how it pans out.

Maybe I might find another guy or guys looking to share a taxi into the city? Another thing I hadn't thought of is my flight being delayed. And how that could be a problem if I have a driver waiting for me, but can't communicate with him.
I thought about renting a car at the airport and just drive myself to my hotel. But quickly dismissed that idea after seeing the bottom line per day price soar after factoring in insurance and taxes. At least in Sosua, most of those renters include insurance in their price. Whereas I can get a SUV for $30 US per day in Sosua. So I guess I'll just secure a taxi at the airport for maybe $30 or less and call it a night. If I spot a shared taxi where I can pay a few pesos I'll do that.

Are there any small / private car rental places you have used around Santiago, like they have in Sosua? $30 to 40 a day to rent a car / suv would work.

Typically the day after as most rentals are shut down at the hour the flight lands. However, I think Hertz etc. Are open. I rent with Ace rent a car but (Nelly) actually did the rental. You should be able to Google Ace. Insurance: I do not buy any additional insurance barring what my credit card affords me. I also drive slowly and without drinking / being drunk. I also try not to drive long distance at night. Unfortunately, I do not know other local agencies. If you call them ahead and give them your co-ordinates, they will come and pick you up.
Having said this, I have a forum member who sent me a number of an agency from Sosua. He mentioned that if the rental is long enough, they will come to STI with the vehicle. I have never tried them so no idea about prices etc but you can call them up, if they are in business. I understand the person speaks English. If you need more info, send me a private message.
Getting a cab to go to the hotel in STI is a good idea. You do not have to worry about flight delays etc. It is a short ride, highway essentially and I think safe. Whether you can find others to accompany you, I have no idea but you can speak with people on the plane. I typically met others who are headed for Sosua as indeed once, I intervened with the driver because of language issues with the visitors, to agree on a price to Sosua.

I think your perception of Sosua as "nothing but prostitutes" is a bit overdone as it is really just a single block on Pedro Clissante where most of the prostitution bars are focused and there are lots of people living in Sosua and the surrounding area who have very little to do directly with the prostitution industry.
It is going to be very hot in Santiago in the coming weeks, but you can give it a try. Some people do just prefer a big city environment.

For one, I love the shit out of Sosua, especially the playa, and that breathtaking view. I look forward to that every trip. Frannie, the perception I shared is not my perception of Sosua. It's the perception of certain chicas I have encountered and the chicas many other mongers have encountered, complaining about Sosua, or refusing to go to Sosua because of the perception THEY have. That impression or conclusion has been shared by ex Sosuaites and non pros. I know personally chicas who used to "work" in Sosua until they started climbing into their late 20's and early 30's. Their preferred mode of work NOW is to have WU novios, or using dating websites or keeping in contact with enough mongers who plan to visit them ( or the women visit the monger in another city , ex SD ) and keep their pockets full without setting foot in Sosua.
I was figuring, that I and perhaps other mongers are less likely to have a problem with chicas who do not want to be seen in Sosua and instead meet them in Santiago. Thats where I was coming from. Also I thought it might give a monger a better impression of himself to a chica, because he is not in Sosua looking for women. Sorry if I didn't express it in writing the way I meant it.
After I leave Santiago and spend the rest of my vacation in Sosua, I'm sure things will be the same as usual. Good times.

Let us know how it works out.
[QUOTE=Lakeside32;1433256]I've flown into STI 4 times in the last 6 months. There's a JetBlue flight at 6am and a spiritair at 2am and I've been on both. I hang out at the Matum on the regular now I've gotten a room there every time but the last trip so I just gambled and caught a taxi to the airport that trip. There's the Pure Disco inside and there's a couple other nite spots right outside. Tourists don't frequent these places so Spanish is a must. The pay 4 play ladies don't come out to late, so what I do is tell the guy at the cab stand to send me a chica, I tell him the type I want, and then they appear. Of course he wants a fee and the hotel is going to charge you an extra $10. It's a nice racket for them I guess but I've won money every time and I have had to treat myself. I can't really see where you will find chicas in this neighborhood I guess you can just take a stroll around the area, but be careful the traffic is insane (I almost got hit by a car). Overall it's a damn good time as long as your gambling drinks and food are complimentary. One trip I met this chica (a regular civilian) who is just beautiful, well the last trip I took her and her mother to dinner, I stay in touch with her, dunno when the panties will be droppin, but somehow I'm not worried.[/QUOTE]On the map it seems like walking distance and I do have chica lined up but I will have some free time on a Friday night and does this bar kick it late like the one in Santo Domingo? Also tell me about that sprit air flight is it usually on time because I will be taking that flight but I will have to wait about 2 or 3 hours for the hotel shuttle which I will wait for. I am a Santo Domingo guy and this is my first trip to Santiago so give me info about pure and any other places that a guy can get into on a Friday and a weekend night.
Anybody know a good money exchange place? And a reliable car rental away from the airport. If I find a Scotia Bank ATM, that is good too. So far I will be staying at Filpo Pension. I may sample some other hotels that were recommended.
I'm sure there are guys here that have done the online dating thing and tried to make hookups while they were in Santiago. Does anybody have any experience with hooking up with chicas they met online? ( especially chicas that are non pros and/or have jobs or are students ) Pros & Cons?
DaY 1
Delta flt leaving jfk was 45 minutes late. Arrived at STI at 1:30am. 30 minutes later than it was supposed to be.
Walked out of the terminal and saw a taxi driver with a company sign. He charged me $20us to Albero Suites. I don't think they call the place Filpo Pension.
Even their business cards say Alberto Suites. I had arranged for my blondie chica to be in my room when I got there. I confirmed she was at the hotel waiting for me when I was at the airport getting my luggage. Got to the hotel about 3am.
The reception guy charged me $90 for 3 days. The 1st night was the night of my arrival (the 18th ). I had planned on leaving on the 20th for SD.
Got to my room and blondie is looking sexy. I ended up changing rooms because the refridgerator wasnt working. The a / see didn't seem like it was cooling the room either. Just as I got the last item from the 1st room, I saw a big flying cockroach in the kitchen. I guess that was supposed to be a reminder from my last trip to Sosua in May.
I shower and get in the bed. Blondie is ready for action. After our session, I went to sleep. And rightly so. I aint used to traveling that late.
Day 1. 5.
Later that morning, still the 18th, me and blondie set out for something to eat. She calls her taxi guy Vincent to pick us up. ! St we got to the Scotia Bank on Calle Del Sol why calle Mella. Then he drops us off at a restaurant right next to the monument. Kukaramacara. Food was good came to 1730 pesos. A little more than I thought I'd spend for food.
Next I take her to La Sirena to buy groceries for her and her family. We go to drop the food off, and now I am meeting most of the family, with 2 of her 3 children in the house. The other kid is supposedly with his father. My gut tells me they are still in a relationship, and he has no problem with her doing p4p to support herself. Her family was very appreciative. And then we left.
I wanted a car rental. So Blondie connected me to a guy she knew, and that guy connected me with another guy who rents cars on the strip leading to the airport.
I got a Pontiac Vibe (small suv) for $30 a day. It was a hard transaction because neither one of us understood each other fully.
I'm still not sure this was a good idea because I don't really know what their insurance covers if anything. Now I have to be extremely careful.
I'm not really interested in driving around Santiago unless I have to. The rental is mainly so I can travel to SD, back to STI and then to Sosua / POP.
We drove to Terra Bella mall looking for the hooters. No hooters. Even though the directory in the elevator indicated Hooters was there. I was looking forward to their fish sandwich and some Sangria. Oh well. We went upstairs and found a restaurant that had good food and it was inexpensive.
Eventually we made it back to the hotel. Like the previous night. We fucked and slept until morning.
Day 2.
Set out to look for a restaurant for breakfast. Got a little lost but found a small restaurant across from a tech univeristy. Many nice looking women walking around. Many leaving or going to school, or trying to catch a publico taxi. I tell blondie that I need a pedicure. A few paces from the restaurant is a salon. We go in, and the lady starts doing the pedicure. Now mind you, I am not paying strict attention because I'm too busy trying to use their wifi on my phone. The lady was very nice but she really didn't seem to know how to trim my nails, especially on my big toes. It took almost an hour. Blondie comes over and starts complaining to the lady that my toes didn't look cut properly, and why did it take so long. All of the ladies in the salon were looking stunned because they didn't understand why she was so pissed.
I happen to know she is a little crazy, so it didn't surprise me that much. But then she started calling me stupid in the car, because I allowed the chica to take so long and not to do a good job. I didn't really have a problem with it, because the pedicure was only 250 pesos. And I can easily go elsewhere for a better pedicure. But this chick was pissed about it. I don't think the pedicure was the main problem. Earlier in the salon she asked me for 2300 pesos to get her hair done. I laughed it off, telling her she better buy some food or clothes she don't need that kind of money for hair. So I'm sure that, and having to wait for my pedicure was what really got her upset.
She "told" me to take her to her mothers house. I said, I got a better idea. Lets get your bag from the hotel and you can go home.
We get to the hotel, she barely allows me to stop the car before snatching off her seatbelt, and opening car door. She bolts for the.
Hotel door, they buzz her in. Once in the room she gathers all of her stuff, and starts asking me if I was going to take her home.
I asked her if she was stupid. I said you need to take a taxi. Makes no sense me taking her acting like that. I can see thats not what she wanted. She wanted me to make a big fuss about her leaving.
Anyway, she goes down to the lobby I guess to call or get a taxi. I'm in my room plotting my next move. I notice the wifi is not working so I go downstairs to talk to the front desk guy. I meet the cleaning lady in the hallway, and blondie is on her way back upstairs?
I'm like WTF. I thought I got rid of you. Instead she is complaining about about not having taxi money, and wondering if I was going.
To take her. I reitterated that she should let the front desk call a taxi or call her own taxi. Now she is complaining that she needs money for a taxi. Which is BS, I let her keep 1300 pesos from the change from the food I bought yesterday. I voluntarily gave her 600 pesos for a taxi (which was way too much) and she angrily took it out of my hand. She leaves the hotel, but immediately turns around and looks at me through the gate and tears the money up and throws it on the sidewalk. I went out to get the money, and the front desk guy taped it up. I gave him the 100 peso that he taped.
Now it's time for plan B. But I'm a little unsure about blondie. Am I really done with her?
I was hoping she was gone and I wouldn't have to deal with her unpredictable ass again. But she has already called me 1 hour after she left. I ignored her call. Before all of this, I had set aside money I intended to give her when I was ready to check out Saturday morning. I'm glad I didn't give it to her earlier. I've made that mistake before.
Gave a chica some money on good faith, before we were done. This is a good example of why it's not a good idea to pay a chica too soon just because you may think things are going well. And especially if you are dealing with a chica thats unpredictable at times.
I called a plan B. She is a D Cupid santiago chica. She agreed to meet, but not until tomorrow morning. My guess is it's Friday and she has a sure thing with another dude. My 1st bad sign of plan be, is """"yo no tengo balance disponsible. Llame porfavor. Then later."""puedes recargar mi cuenta por favor? Para acceder al menu de recargas marca #100*12#""""
I haven't even met this chica yet, and she is asking me and telling me how to send her phone credit? She has no balance but she can send me 2 texts to tell me she has no balance? I have already lost interest because I'm sure her RFM is going to extend if we meet tomorrow. She'll probably tell me she needs me to send her money for a taxi. Besides, I'm leaving for SD. What can she do for me in the morning if I'm checking out in a couple of hours?
On a lighter note. Alberto Suites is a hotel for guests and it seems there are residents here as well.
The hotel sits on a narrow side street. 30 calle Santome (near monument and calle Del Sol a busy street ). A small awning out front. You could easily miss this place, driving or walking by.
For 1300 pesos the accomodations were very modest. Small kitchen, full size fridge, little a / see in BR that works only at night. A fan in BR, small color tv. A queen bed. No safe. Blondie had to call twice to get hot water for the shower each night.
For $30 I can't complain. It's an ok place for a short stay traveler. I wouldn't stay a whole week, especially with no safe.
At least I got to have one chica while staying in Santiago. I may set out for the Ahi Bar or some other drinking spot tonight.
I could go to Pasions since I have a car, but don't want to pay a lot for take out.
I have an older Santiago chica I'm supposed to meet, but don't want to call her until I get back from SD after checking out those prospects.
To be continued.

There are cabs from STI that will take one to Sosua correct? My flight would get in around 1.07 AM (Delta) and I'd rather spend a little extra for a comfortable / safe taxi ride from the airport to Sosua rather than stay a few hours in Santiago and then arrange for a cab or take the bus to Sosua. Can someone confirm this can be done? Is it safe? And for the 1.5 hour ride, what is the estimated cost in a cab?
Thanks!

Greetings all. Headed to Santiago for 6 nights next week, flying direct to STI from JFK. Been to Sosua several times since 2010. Booked a room at the Matum however, they don't offer airport pickup service. Does anyone know a good taxi guy to recommend, once with decent English would be preferred. Any other Santiago tips (must see places, clubs, food, do's / don'ts) would be greatly appreciated!
In Ecuador, they are called Chongos. In Colombia, it is simply la zona rosa. I'm looking for a list of names and addresses of the spots where the working girls are. Has no one compiled such a list? Lists of this kind have been compiled for Ecuador and Colombia.
Did you ever make it to Pasion the stripclub? I have a novia in Santiago who lives near there and she wants to go but her father also goes and she is worried about running into him. She says it is great but she is a 19 yr old who has never been to a strip club in her life. As evidenced by the inactivity on this board Santiago's PFP scene does not make it much of a monger destination. BUT it is filled with cute D Cupid and Badoo chicas.

[QUOTE=Pescador Loco;1488329]But [Santiago] is filled with cute D Cupid and Badoo chicas.[/QUOTE]It should have its share. After all. 10% of the Dominican population lives in Santiago.
But also note that Santiago has the reputation of being the "classiest" city in the DR. The population in the Cibao is somewhat more "Spanish" and lighter-skinned than the rest of the country on average, so racially brainwashed dominicanas will often claim to come from Santiago to attract North Americans who are similarly prejudiced.
Most of them don't want to enter the name of their own shithole town or village to reduce the chances of their family, neighbours, boyfriends or husbands becoming aware they are offering their totos online or of panting gringos turning up on their doorstep causing embarrassment all round.

Ready Ru: Have you been to "Puerta del Sol"?. I have gone a few times with the chica and have seen some very hot girls in that spot. It is in the Area Monumental. Can't miss it. If you see a gringo with a girl in a sexy dress or top without a bra that is probably me.
This girl loves to show off the T & A. We went to the Monument in that white tank top. Security guards followed us around. Every guy wants to help us out. Yeah sure. LOL. The black dress is from a night at a disco. Her tits were bouncing everywhere. Her nipples are huge so it is really f'in obvious. She pushes the limit. But I go with the flow cause after a few hours of showing off she is super horny. Aggravation from Dominican dudes is a small price to pay.

There is a time factor too. I think the last bus to Puerto Plata leaves at 9:30 p. M, so if you are at the airport at 9:00 pm from the AA flight, you might be better off to take the taxi to Las Colinas and save yourself a few minutes while the bus makes its ways from Los Jardines to Las Colinas.
Similarly, if you are running a bit late to catch a departing flight, you might be better off to switch to a taxi at Las Colinas.

[QUOTE=D Cups;1531621]Hi O, what was your experience like at this hotel, please? Is it near any chica action? Thanks.[/QUOTE]The hotel is OK. It's historic so it needs an upgrade to be modern, but, all in all, not bad for the price. I forgot what I paid, but breakfast was included. The hotel is walking distance to the Monument and all the restaurants and bars in the area. In terms of chica action, there is a casino and late night club right downstairs so you can usually find some working ladies close by. In addition, there are sometimes working girls around the monument area.

The bus leaves every hour on the half hour from 1730 to 2130. The cost is 160 pesos. And you won't make the 1730 bus. It takes a while to get through immigration in Santiago.

Going to be in Santigo in a week. Are there are newer options for chica friendly hotels other than Alberto suites and Hotel Platino? Hotel Matum is all booked. Would appreciate the help.

Santiago Synopsis.
Gentleman I just completed a trip to Santiago from Sosua. This trip was an extension of my most recent Sosua / Santiago / Monti-Cristi excursion. The original plan was to spend 2 days in Sosua. 4 days in Santiago then end my trip with another 2 days. There was an impromptu opportunity to go to Monti-Cristi while I was in Santiago and when I returned I decided to cut the Santiago trip short and return to Sosua. The Santiago excursion only resulted in me spending 2 days on the ground. Since the trip was so short the information contained is not as exhaustive as I would like it to be however I hope for most it will suffice. This synopsis will cut to the meat of my experience in Santiago for those who are not interested in reading the entire Santiago trip report.
Below I have listed my notes for your review.
Santiago de los Caballeros.
Santiago is the second largest urban center in the Dominican Republic behind the Capital Santo Domingo. Santiago is considered to be La Segundo Capital because of its importance during colonial times, for brief periods it served as the nation's capital. Santiago is reported to be the intellectual, educational, and cultural center of the Dominican Republic. It is located in the Cibao valley and surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges that kiss the sky. This region is reported to be the wealthiest in the country. The population is just under 2 million people.
Attire.
Santiago- what to wear: Santiago like Santo Domingo is not Sosua where you can wear shorts a t-shirt and sandals. Both major urban areas have clubs and night life that require less casual attire. When going out at night in either town it is recommended to where a polo or dress shirt along with long pants and casual shoes that are not sneakers or sandals. You do not want to go out looking like a gringo pendeo. Enough said!
Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration
On a hill overlooking Santiago the marble monument began in 1944 on the orders of dictator Rafael Trujillo. He named it the "Trujillo's Monument to Peace." Trujillo was assassinated in 1961, after which the monument was renamed the "Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration", in remembrance of the Independence Restoration War of 1863, in which the Dominican Republic regained its independence from Spain.
The monument is absolutely beautiful at night because it is illuminated. It is the center of attraction for Santiago and also one of the primary places freelances walk the stroll after midnight.
Caribe Tours.
I took Caribe Tours from Sosua to Santiago, the ticket was 160DOP which is better than a $100. 00 taxi ride. I reflected on when was new to the Dominican Republic how I would spend more than I needed traveling across the country because I feared the unknown. Now that I have overcome my fear I realize how easy it is to travel across the country.
Miscellaneous.
Western Union is located on Avenieda Pablo Duarte about 5 minutes from the monument and 10 minutes from the Aloha Sol Hotel. The exchange rate was 43DOP. 1US.
La Sirena is located on Autopista Duarte about 10 minutes from the Aloha Sol Hotel. The hotel had a mini bar with a few items however I wanted my own refreshments so I got what I wanted.
Aloha Sol Hotel.
The Aloha Sol Hotel is a nice hotel with staff that was very cordial and helpful. The WI-FI and air-condition worked well. There was a safe in the closet but I made no attempt to use it. The room had a comfortable queen bed and an 18 inch flat screen TV. The primary problem I had was with the key card that had to be swiped multiple times before the door would open.
Santiago Casas de Citas.
All of the below listed venues had heavy security and you were either patted down or security used a metal detector wand to check you for weapons. The tarifas reminded me of the Punta Cana casa de citas with the set up and excessive pricing.
Passions Night Club looks like a regular night club inside but it was very dark and very difficult to see the chicas. My first impression was how much staff was on the floor. There appeared to be an army of security guards wearing Passions shirt wondering around. Most of the chicas were 7's and 8's and there were quite a few blancas, (with fake boobs and buttocks) for a minute I thought I was in Medellin Colombia rather than Santo Domingo Dominican Republic.
Many of the chicas were on their phones which I consider to be a turn off but asi es la vida. I found the restaurant that was connected to the club to be interesting because there was a television turned to Christian cable station.
Tarifas: 1 hour 3000DOP in house.
3 hours 4500DOP salida.
Illusions Night Club looked like a strip inside with the stripper pole and flashing lights. There were less than 6 chicas none more than a 7 in my book and I was not impressed.
Tarifa: 1 hour in house 4000DOP.
TLN salida 7000DOP.
Casa Blanca was a beautiful venue. You walked in there was a patio with a pool and inside was a very attractive club with couches and chairs. There were about 6 chicas ranging between 6-8. I was told that each chica could set her own price. For example:
Tarifa: 2 hours in house 3500DOP.
3 hours salida 4500DOP.
Santiago Car Washes.
Santiago is like many urban centers in the Dominican Republic where car washes serve as PFP venues also. There are multiple car washes throughout the city however I only visited the below listed venues:
La Colonia car wash is on Autopista Duarte. This is an outdoor venue with a dance floor where they played bachata and people could be seen dancing on the dance floor which was in the center. The chicas ranged from 6-7's and some appeared to be bored and others were entertaining their clients being lively and hospitable.
Each chica sets her own tarifa and the class themselves ranging from 3000. 5000DOP for whatever period of time you can negotiate. There was no salida I believe the girls pay a fee to the house for each client but I could not get the chica I was talking with to reveal the exact amount.
International car wash is also on Autopista Duarte. This is a dual outdoor and indoor venue. The chicas lounge outside and talk with one another as well as their clients. The inside venue looks like a club with a bar and D-J played hip-hop music.
The chicas in this venue were very attractive definately 7-8's and they were waiting to be chosen. The tarifa was 3000DOP for the chica and 500DOP salida paid to the house.
I went to this venue twice in the same day and there were more chicas during the evening than later a night I supect due to being with clients. At night there were quite a few men and a strip show for those who find that interesting.
Los Dominicanos ricos.
Plaza Hermanos Gomez Dias on Calle Pan Americana was a car wash that was clearly a cut above the rest. There were 2 separate outdoor venues on the same property. One venue had pool tables and seating and the other was a club with regular seating with seating and VIP seating along the sides.
First, almost every woman in the joint was an 8 and there were some arguably 9's in the house. Some of the blancas reminded me of Paisas they were that gorgeous. Some of these chicas. Excuse me mujeres had obvious attitudes like their shit didn't stink. The men were mean mugging me like WTF are you doing in our spot type looks. I was told the salida was 500DOP and some of the chicas go as high as 7000DOP but everything depended on the chica.
The straw that broke the camel's back was the BMW's I saw in the car wash. I don't know what the men did but judging by how security was tight and the look on some of their faces I wouldn't be surprised if some if not all were narcos.
This spot had a high class vibe but was very Dominican and was not for the faint of heart.
Semi pro venues.
Grand Slam VIP (El Cuarto Frio) located on Calle Principal 17. This was a hole in the wall hood joint where everyone was packed liked sardines. Quite a few people were smoking hookah and the music was blasting reggaeton.
Everyone in there seemed to be in their early 20's and almost every chica I saw was doable 7's-8's they were young tenderonies smiling dancing and having a good time. It wasn't the most comfortable place but I loved the authentic Dominican vibe.
This was not a straight PFP venue, I was advised the chicas will go with you if they like you and you slip them a little something for the salon in the morning.
Extacy Sports Bar located on Calle Pan Americana was a classy spot that put me in the mind of Classicos in Sosua. There were tables and couches on the walls with several VIP areas. The music was salsa and bachata and quite a few people were smoking hookah.
The waitresses were available for takeout for whatever you negotiate and the regular chicas were available like Grand Slam VIP.
The chica stroll Santiago.
The area around the Casino Pure and the Monument are known for street walkers of a decent caliber. Some look like PFP and others do not. I saw some 7's-8's in the area.
Calle Resturacion close to Parque El Chechas about 5 minutes from the monument is crack alley. There were a half dozen street walkers in the area mixed in with some transvestites. You can find 3's-5's in this area for 300DOP and there was a short time hotel in the area I did not check the cost because I did not want to get out of the car.
I am only reporting on this venue for intel purposes but I will pass on 300 peso chicas thank you very much.
Closing thoughts on Santiago:
I did not do as much internet preparation for my Santiago trip as I have my previous few trips. I had one internet chica renege and one I chose not to follow up on which made this trip primarily a intel trip.
Santiago is a major urban center that has neighborhoods and venues that cater to different classes of people; I saw the spectrum range from the very rich to the very poor. This does not only include restaurants and shopping centers but also PFP venues.
The most recognized PFP establishments are expensive compared to Sosua standards. The chica who lives in Santiago can command twice and sometimes three times as much in Santiago than she can in Sosua. For the Sosua veteran this makes Santiago and unattractive location for PFP.
Although PFP is expensive relative to Sosua standards there are more cabana short time hotels in Santiago than I have seen anywhere else in the country, therefore there is obviously a lot of PFP taking place.
Santiago has the reputation for being where the light complexioned "mulatoe" Dominicans come from. I saw a spectrum from vanilla to deep chocolate. There are beautiful women in Santiago in all shapes sizes and colors.
IMHO I would not recommend mongers go to Santiago solely as a PFP destination because of the prices but it is an excellent place to hunt for civilian chicas and go from there.
I have spent most of my time in the Dominican Republic on the north coast. Since I am considering the possibility of retiring there I have decided to branch out and see more of what the island has to offer. I deliberately booked my Santiago excursion close to my Santo Domingo excursion last month because I wanted to compare the 2 cities. I have read extensively on both cities on different boards however I wanted to have the Dominican urban experience first-hand as I continue to explore life and culture in the Dominican Republic. Now that I have had the experiences going forward I will be looking at other destinations such as Bonao, La Vega and Higuey.
Great report, thanks Camaro
Camaro what time did you go to Casa Blanca? Me and my girlfriend went one night about 11pm and there were 0 chicas there. The guy told us to come back about 1am. I told him we would be sleep by then. Also drinks there are very expensive.

Good job Camero! You're blazin a trail for those of us lookin to break out of sosua mode. Where there any available chicas in the bar attached to Aloha Sol, or the attached casino? I've heard these were good spots.

I was running so much in that 2 days I didn't check out the venue that was right at my door step. Sorry.

[QUOTE=GrownMan1;1544677]Your post should be call Santiago guide for mongers 2014 Edition[/QUOTE]I wanted to do more but between Monti Cristi and the call to return to Sosua I didn't have enough time.
Thanks Camaro. Your kind of reporting is what this forum is about.
What you showed was that you can HAVE good time anywhere in the Dr if you are willing step out a bit. You opened our eyes to things we had not seen. Great job.
[QUOTE=Camaro1257;1544834]I wanted to do more but between Monti Cristi and the call to return to Sosua I didn't have enough time.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=OldKool;1545073]What you showed was that you can HAVE good time anywhere in the Dr if you are willing step out a bit. You opened our eyes to things we had not seen. Great job.[/QUOTE]Yes, you can have a good time anywhere in the DR if you are genuinely interested in traveling, discovering the culture, and so on. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants, and public transportation, and you can find sex for pay pretty much anywhere you go in some form or other, mostly in bar and / or brothels.
On the other hand, if you just want to come for a vacation where the main purpose is to have sex with as many attractive freelance chicas as possible, then you really don't need to look beyond Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, and the stretch of the north coast from Cabarete to Puerto Plata. Outside of those areas the pickings are exponentially slimmer. I have been to places like Samana, Palenque, Jimani, San Francisco de Macoris, Sabaneta, etc, but they are of more interest to the generic traveler than the specialist monger. Santiago, certainly, especially if you are there for business, but it isn't exactly a resort.
[QUOTE=Frannie;1545272]if you are genuinely interested in .discovering the culture[/QUOTE]Has anyone found any yet?
Exactly Frannie. And remember that P4P in Santiago is damn expensive. I would like to disagree with Camaros conclusion that there are a lot of cabanas, therefore there is a lot of P4P. You see most of the Santiago cabanas on the road to the airport outside of the city. You have to remember that most offspring in Latin American countries live with their parents or aunts until they are married so they don't have a place to go to take their significant others; hence the number of motels. You will see the same in Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and everywhere else.
[QUOTE=Charles Pooter;1545285]Has anyone found any yet?[/QUOTE]Depends on what you mean by culture, as there are many different types, for example agriculture, horticulture, counterculture, but the best definition for practical purposes is to say that the culture of any country consists of those delusional beliefs that the people of that country hold to be self-evident truths that anyone from outside that country can immediately see are false.
The English are one of the most cultured races, (believing, for example that the center of the earth runs through Greenwich, or good manners are inherited via a form of sexual transmission called good breeding, or Elgar is a great composer, or Bird's instant custard sauce powder is custard, or that anybody gives a damn what the panelists on Any Questions think) , though possibly not quite as cultured as the Scots and the Welsh. The English also believe that private schools should be called public schools and that public schools should be called state schools, even though Britain has counties, not states, and that There Will Always Be An England. The Scots also believe this, but want no part of it. The English also believe that the Prince of Wales will be King of England if he ever grows up and they wish the Welsh would do the same.
By this standard Dominicans also have an incredible culture. For example Dominicans believe that they are naturally superior to Haitians, or that red traffic lights are merely advisory. They have also invented several genres of music and dance, and perfected a more energy-efficient form of Spanish that almost complete dispenses with the letter 's' except in words like Sosua, and makes 'are' and 'l' and 'be' and 'v' completely interchangeable. They have also virtually abolished education altogether and so are able use the word "educada" to mean something close to what the English call "well-bred", I. E something that has nothing to do with education or breeding!

I love this forum thanks, not to the discussion of sex or related recriminations against the DR providers, but to the self-deprecating humor of the Brits (or is it quintessentially of the people of England?)! God save the King, Queen and their progeny!

Don't forget subcultures. And I am curious as to your take on American culture.

My comment was based on what some of the chicas told me about leaving the casas that most of the times they went to the cabanas in the area.
How much did you pay Aloha del Sol / Santiago this trip, single ocupancy I presume? How chica friendly were they? Last time I stayed there I was not too happy about that bit. Speaking of early 2012.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]I paid $86. 00 per night which included a buffet style breakfast. Yes they are Chica friendly the Chica has to sign in at the desk. I ate the last day because I was missing Sosua. Once I arrived I discovered I could have had equally nice hotels for half the cost. It was a good experience the hotel is centrally located and the staff was great!

Camaro,
I just wanted to chime in with everyone else on complimenting you on your reports. They are in depth, well written and all are eligible for reports of distinction in my book. The experiences you are having are the ones that I want to have: actually getting out and comingling with regular Dominican folks, as well as the P4P scene, in order to really soak up the culture. Would love to catch up with you on one of your trips. My buddy and I will be in Santo Domingo / Boca Chica 5/7/14-5/14/14. Any chance you will be around. If so your first few rounds are on us.

Can anyone recommend an OK hotel walking distance and safe near the bars, restaurants and Monument.
I have tried the Matum but keep getting disconnected and it seems the Hotel Platino may be a further than I was looking for any good recommendations for a night would be appreciated.

Pura Vida
Great report. I'll definitely drop by the Car Wash on Calle Pan Americana next time I am in Santiago. Sounds exciting.
On a side note, last week end I took the brand new Circunvalacion Norte freeway To go from STI airport to the mountain road as a shortcut to Sosua. Exited on Av Luperon, then 45 min of pure joy zigzagging around potholes.
This said, it does bypass entirely Santiago and its bustling traffic. I am planning using the mountain road from now on, for all my daylight drives between STI and Sosua. I would not do it under darkness though.

I just on this road today with the signs saying Puerto Plata while I was with a chica riding around looking for a cabana. I guess I will try it out in a couple of days when I head to Sosua.

Matum is. I cannot think of any place of a similar quality within a short distance. Having said that there is a place formerly known as Alberto's suite which is definitely walkable but at 1200/1300 pesos, it might be a dive for you. It is located on the other side of the Monument and may not look so clean even though it is completely safe.
[QUOTE=Riky Rapido;1547402]The action is spread out, except where the Colonial is, there are several hotels, but not a good area to hang out at night, lots of seedy people.[/QUOTE]If the area around Colonial is seedy then I guess you have not seen "seedy" Caballero. The place is a major hub for local minibus and is definitely not clean. There are women selling themselves with a short stay hotel right at the corner as well but it is completely safe. There is no drug (that I saw but they are of no interest to me) or guns. Daytime it is a market place as well. I have had long interesting chats sitting inside colonial with fellow gringos, drinking beer and chicas asking for beer, late at night and all completely harmless. There is even a cooking trolley at night which has greasy fattening fast American food. Yummy! If one speaks Spanish, it can be an insightful experience, but perhaps not for all.

(I think my friend pays $300/month for a room without.) There is a catch though. I woke up very hot this morning. When I later went downstairs to tell them there was a problem with the air they told me they turn it off at 8am and don't turn it back on until night. The place is very clean although it is dated. A friend of mine actually lives here; that is how I found out about the place. There is no sign or anything. When I got here I parked and walked up and down the street looking for the place. I finally gave up and called my friend for help. He came outside. It just happened to be the place I parked in front of and didn't even know it.
Whats up fellas!
Going to Santiago for a few nights, anyone been there lately and know where the easy women are located. Anything will help clubs, strip clubs. Also going to punta cana, any info we be apperciated and will report when I return. Going for two weeks in June.
In a recent conversation, a woman I know from La vega asked me for a tube of lube to bring along. I was surprised because, she is all wet when she is with me and so I asked her what gives. She after much heehaw, essentially told me that with the locals, it is like "wham bam, thank'why ma'am". She may not get the time to even be played to turn on the internal juice faucet and so she needs that lube stuff. It kind of reminded me of Pooter's discovery in the DR bars about local cultural practice, indeed confirmed it.
Funny thing is I have never bought or used lube in my whole life and so I told her that I will bring her the stuff but in exchange, I want her ass this time. To which she responded. Jajaja!
A woman I know for a while here, visited me last night. She is very much into dance and I travel with a bluetooth speaker to play music of various kinds including bachata to create the mood. Yesterday she insisted to teach me the few moves and it was nice staying close to a female body and follow the bachata moves. Two steps to the right and two to the left. She mentioned that she is good also with salsa, merengue, tango and so forth. I told her next trip, to arrange for a barrio party with san cocho for me. She would and that would be my first barrio neighborhood experience.
The woman can drink. I rarely drink and she almost drank one half of an 1 liter absolute vodka bottle and stayed sober. She is 22, white with curly hair and a pretty face and lovely smile with lusty red lipstick. I would like to post some pictures (she gave permission.

She is a 40 the, not finished school but smart and quite into music including Amy Winehouse. Which was a surprise for me. On the other hand, when I played the 40th symphony of Mozart, she was disappointed, she was expecting Mozart Parra, LOL!
One final note, before she left, she cleaned up the room, set the bed right, which was in sharp contrast to some others who even when told to clean up, do not have a clue. Wonder why.
[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1597877]In a recent conversation, a woman I know from La vega asked me for a tube of lube to bring along. I was surprised because, she is all wet when she is with me and so I asked her what gives. She after much heehaw, essentially told me that with the locals, it is like "wham bam, thank'why ma'am". She may not get the time to even be played to turn on the internal juice faucet and so she needs that lube stuff. It kind of reminded me of Pooter's discovery in the DR bars about local cultural practice, indeed confirmed it.
Funny thing is I have never bought or used lube in my whole life and so I told her that I will bring her the stuff but in exchange, I want her ass this time. To which she responded. Jajaja![/QUOTE]I was surprised that, with so much action, good lube is hard to come by. So I always bring a bottle of KY when I visit. Makes it much easier to turn those "jajaja"s in to "yayaya"s. .
[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1602082]A woman I know for a while here, visited me last night. She is very much into dance and I travel with a bluetooth speaker to play music of various kinds including bachata to create the mood. Yesterday she insisted to teach me the few moves and it was nice staying close to a female body and follow the bachata moves. Two steps to the right and two to the left. She mentioned that she is good also with salsa, merengue, tango and so forth. I told her next trip, to arrange for a barrio party with san cocho for me. She would and that would be my first barrio neighborhood experience.
The woman can drink. I rarely drink and she almost drank one half of an 1 liter absolute vodka bottle and stayed sober. She is 22, white with curly hair and a pretty face and lovely smile with lusty red lipstick. I would like to post some pictures (she gave permission. If my contacts are not Dominicans) of hers -with bra / panty etc but do not know if it is possible to post here with access restricted.

Camaro's Santiago Day Trip Synopsis August 2014.
Gentleman I just completed my Santiago day trip excursion. This trip is a extension of my Sosua -Jarbacoa excursion. This brief report will contain my notes for those who are interested in day trips from Sosua to Santiago. Most of the information contained within will be known to veteran North Coast mongers but for newbies who want to explore beyond Sosua this template can be an asset.
Extended or frequent trips to Sosua can get boring and monotonous therefore we should be willing to mix it up and experience some new and different things. The 2 largest cities within reasonable distance from Sosua are Santiago and Puerta Plata and this day trip template can be used to travel to either location and you can be back in Sosua by night fall to do what Sosua mongers love most. Hunt chicas.
Below I have listed my thoughts for your review.
Day Trip Motivation.
Other than boredom there are additional reasons to consider day trips out of Sosua. If we look at the recent past actions of the Dominican government a pattern emerges. The gringo figures or establishments that were noticeably directly or indirectly connected to prostitution in Sosua have been adversely effected.
1. The owner of Passions was incarcerated for a period and his business was shut down.
2. Cuba-Dave the most vocal and visible advocate of Passions and CMP reportedly was asked to leave the Dominican Republic and not to return.
3. The owner of Rumba was briefly incarcerated and has left the Dominican Republic.
4. Most recently the primary promoter of the Victoria House pool parties was detained and extorted.
The evidence indicates that this thing of ours as we knew it in Sosua is on the decline and it is unknown what the future will hold. It is obvious from the aforementioned pattern that the government's intention is to change the face of Sosua therefore those who are interested in Dominican Republic and Sosua specifically as a mongering destination need to be prepared to flow with the transition.
Pre-Trip Preparation.
Pre-trip preparation can include many facets. For those who are anal like me there needs to be a plan in place that can serve as a road map. You can chose to drive off the map but at least you have something in place.
First and foremost there is the purpose of the trip yes that would be the chicas. You can work the internet to include Facebook, Dominican & Latin American Cupid along with Tagged and Badoo. Once you make contact you can whatssapp them and make arrangements. I realize many people prefer importing chicas to Sosua but for me since Sosua is still flush with chicas I have no desire to import unless there is some extenuating circumstance. Also I feel you have more control over your movements on their turf as you can abort on command. If she comes to Sosua and you don't like her or something goes wrong like her period etc. You are in a pickle.
In my case Ms. Santiago was a personal introduction and the day trip was going to be a meet & greet, eat and smash type encounter.
My preparation also included my diddy bag which I am glad I prepared. Since I was only going to be a few hours from base I only took a shaving bag which included condoms, lube, the charger for my phone and other personal items. The reason the aforementioned was important is because my cell phone almost went dead so I was able to charge it at the cabana and the cabana did not have any condoms.
Plan your activities which may include a tour of the Monument a mall visit or a restaurant excursion. In my case I did a straight cabana run. Once arrived I took a taxi to a cabana had lunch smashed cuddled talked and was back on the bus about 3 hours later.
I have no interest at this time in driving in the Dominican Republic therefore my preparation also included the 2 local bus lines Metro and Carribe Tours. The advantage to the Metro is it is right in Sosua next to the Texaco station on the main drag, however Carribe Tours is in Charamicos which is about 10 minutes outside Sosua and requires a taxi or moto-concho. The Metro bus departs 5 times daily approximately 2 hours apart. The Carribe Tours bus leaves more frequently every hour on the hour from morning until the early evening.
Transportation plans will also need to be made once you arrive in Santiago. If your chica does not have a car or you have no other means of transportation a taxi is recommended. There are taxis available at both the Metro and Carribe Tours stations. Depending on your Spanish ability and your savvy you could possibly get someone as low as 250 DOP per hour or agree to a flat rate for specific destinations.
Your preparation should also include a back up or alternative plans. For example you have multiple women on standby or other activities planned in the event plan "A" falls through. In my case had there been a problem I would have got on the next bus to Sosua and chalked it up as a loss. Once again I realize there are those who prefer to bring the game to the home court but it is important to know that there are other options.
Agenda.
My agenda was simple to break the monotony of Sosua, do a day trip to Santiago and meet a chica I had been speaking with on whatsapp for a while. I left at 10:30 am and I was back in Sousa by 5:30 pm in enough time to get rejuvenated and begin the hunt once again.
Lodging.
You have many options from using your chicas place to renting a hotel room or using a short time cabana. Santiago has no shortage of cabanas or hotels and it is just a matter of finding one that suits your taste.
Elysium Apart Hotel. Autopista Santiago Navarette.
This was a dated property with well kept grounds. The security directed my taxi to an open garage after which we went in. We ordered drinks and food and had a little foreplay while waiting. The room had a sitting area, dining area king size bed and a Jacuzzi in the bathroom. There was a flat screen TV and the air-conditioning worked well. This was no Dulce Decreto in Sosua but it was more than enough for 500 DOP for 4 hours.
Note.
For those who are not familiar with Domincan life and culture the cabana (short time hotel) is an intricate part of the culture because many Dominicans live in extended families in one house therefore the cabana provides privacy for those who want to handle their business.
I have talked to several women who were eager to go to the cabana without thinking twice right after we met. In the case of Ms. Santiago she advised she did not want to go to a restaurant or any other such common US dating activity but she said "quiero ir al cabana por cervesa why otra cosas" I will say we enjoyed the "otra cosas!
Conclusion.
You may use variations of this template according to your pleasure. In my case I wanted something to do during the day in Sosua since I find it so boring until later in the afternoon. Another option is to get a hotel room and actually spend the night which I consider a viable option also especially if you really like the chica.
I thoroughly enjoyed my chica and I loved hearing her speak rapid fire Spanish because she was so passionate. My date was a petite flaca but she was on fire and I was turned on from the moment I saw her. The time money and effort spent was well worth it and I would surly do it again.
Once again you can use this template with Puerto Plata also because Carribe Tours and the Metro go there also. Puerto Plata is not as big as Santiago but it has its share of cabanas also.
Finally I will say that Sosua mongers need to quit sitting on the perch spread their wings and fly. There is so much more to see and do in the Dominican Republic.
Great report Camaro. You never cease to amaze. A few questions: Did you give her money? Did the taxi wait at the cabaņa? I assume the cabaņa that you went to was closer to Navarette, hence the name of the highway? I have never seen any cabaņas located closer to the city. The only ones I know of are out toward Navarette way or the other way closer to the airport.
P.S. I'm in Spain right now and the language is a world of difference from that unintelligible Dominican mess.

The day I was leaving I mentioned I would give her 1. 5 k because she was not working. When I gave her the money she was as pleased as punch. I am not very familiar with Santiago the name of the street was given to me by the taxista. The taxista was from the metro station so he returned to the metro station and picked us up after we called him. Enjoy Spain maybe one day I will follow in your footsteps.
I read camaro s post which is amazing. An honest know where to on a Tuesday night.
Have sweetie rolling in from PP to meet me at the airport. She is a big girl in every way. I have been working on her for a month. She is anxious to hook up. She likes remy Martin which means she will get a buzz. Women use drinks to loosen up and not have inhibitions. This is a good thing cause I plan to wear her out. She is a upfront non pro. Would like a big wallet. I will comply. She can only spend one day so there is no beating around the Bush. She has family trip for 4 days starting Thursday. Two possible hookups for Santiago. Always have a backup.
[QUOTE=OldKool;1617734]I read camaro s post which is amazing. An honest know where to on a Tuesday night.[/QUOTE]If you are staying close to el monumento, there are a couple of places. Try Ahi bar, restaurant and dance place. There is also another place just across Kukara macara, straight across el monumento, in the corner -don't remember name and typically Salsa / merengue singing live. On weekends, no food. Finally, there is a big disco in Las colinas mall, top floor. There was another place almost at the other end of town, close to hotel ambar, close to the autopista. Villa gonzales end but I cannot recall the name. These should all be open every day of the week. Ahi is my favorite.

How much should I pay a taxi from sti to caribe tours?
[QUOTE=Grandnash84;1620938]How much should I pay a taxi from sti to caribe tours?[/QUOTE]I think the standard fare is about 800 pesos, that's a bit less than US $20. If you know a publico taxi driver and have a number and are prepared to meet the guy outside the airport, then you might pay a hair less, but it is hardly worth the hassle. Incidentally, people complain a lot about the cost of DR taxis, but they are much cheaper than in the US, both for long and short journeys, even though the cost of gas is quite a bit higher in the DR.

I have a buddy going to Santiago and Sosua this weekend and someone once told me of a bar near the Edificio Cristal for some.
P4 p. I believe they said it was right across the street or something. I know of and have been to The Tropical which is Near the old cathedral, but if anyone has any info on it, please let me know. Thanks.
So after my not-so-successful day at the capital (see my report in the SD thread), I decided to head up north last Thursday. I was going to La Vega to meet up with a cupid girl, a young looking 25 year-old who has big jugs. Drove up the mountains to La Vega, enjoyed the varied landscape, and felt the lower temperature which was a pleasant respite from the heat in Santo Domingo. Waited at a grocery store for the girl to show up while appreciating the eye candy. Lots of pretty women here, wow. The girl pulled up on the back of a motorbike. After exchanging greetings, she told me how she couldn't come with me because, all of a sudden her baby became ill. She said, however, her cousin was available. Pointing to the troll that was at the helm of the bike. NO THANKS. I don't take bait and switches. BYE.
Where to? Kept going north, I had another cupid girl lined up in Santiago. A working girl not a "working girl" but one who actually has a job. How refreshing. Wasn't supposed to meet up until after she gets off work on Saturday. Well, after this La Vega bait and switch incident I might as well vet all these cupid girls out beforehand. Called her up and told her surprise! I'm here two days early just to take you to dinner!
Got to Santiago, had a couple of hours to kill, drove past the monument and saw a large crowd of people. The Cibao Expo. A whopping RD $25 for entry, no brainer. It was a week long combo of state fair and trade show. Lots of local companies had booths promoting their goods and services. More importantly, they all hired good looking girls in tight fitting clothes to work the booths. For a perv like me it was a license to ogle and take lots of pics. I will post them in the gallery section. (All fully clothed, sorry!
OK time to leave, and to call the girl for a place to meet up. By now my cell phone's battery is dead. Cruising the neighborhood frantically looking for a place I can borrow some juice. It was only 7 pm and all the shops were already closed. Yes there were lotto bancas and street vendors but not places where I can walk in and plug in my charger. Little different than SD, most shops would still be open. Then, bingo! Asian nail salon! It was so funny the reactions I got being a lone man (and a foreigner) amongst the women. Had a lot of fun talking to them, particularly a cute one. She teased me after finding out I had to get my phone charged up to meet a local woman. "So you came to our country, and you're a player / tigre huh?" Well I flirted with her back. "no no no I'm no tigre. I'm a gentleman; give me your phone number and I'll prove it to you. " And she did! (stay tune for the final part of my report where this cutie will take a prominent role.).
OK, phone charged up just enough, got in touch with the cupid girl. She showed up with, her teenage sister as a chaperone?? Nothing surprises me anymore. Went with the flow did my best to be charming through the dinner. Cupid girl has a pretty face but is very diminutive (short). Not my kind of attractiveness. After dinner, drove them home to the outskirts of Santiago. This was eye-opening. Mommy, daddy, brother, another sister, all lived under the same tin roof in a small house, with no indoor plumbing, on an unpaved road. The family was just so nice and pleaded with me to stay overnight. At this point it had been 36 hours since I last busted a nut. Two business days! Two business days and no pu $sy in the DR? Self-reflection time: What am I doing? Why am I here?
I need to get some guaranteed pu$sy. I am heading to sosua. Said my goodbye, and continued up north. It was almost midnight. Will I make it in time for the action on Pedro Clisante? After a frightful drive on the 1. 5 lane pothole-ridden twisty mountain road Luperon, the answer was yes, I made it to Sosua. And, I got my guaranteed pu $sy.
(to be continued).
Great report Parkinsons. You showed once again how much more flexible a guy will be with a car. Next trip you will have your car charger and auxilary cord for your mp3 player.
Your experiences are so real and normal. Rarely do our plans evolve like we hope. Family issues and chaperons can pop up. I like non pros as well but they can be a lot of trouble. I am convinced that SeMI PROS are the way to go. They know what you want and provide good service to get what they want. Cupid girls work better when you can meet them off their turf. You get them to meet you in another town it is fuck or flee. E I choose not to drive in the DR. If I lived there maybe I would make another choice. Not having a car has not handicapped me.

But like how Parkinsons was able leave at the drop of a hat when he had his eureka moment. It was already midnight. If he was on the bus then he would have had to stay the night and beat off. I went through the same shit last time I was in Santiago at my boy's house. Even chicks I had fucked with before were bullshitting around as if I lived in Santiago and was going to be there forever. I told my boy that I would lie down and take a nap and if these broads are not on the way by the time I wake up then I am off to Sosua. I woke up at 5 pm and took a shower and hopped on the road. And you know how that Murphy is. During the drive chicks started calling talking about they are on the way. Broad I already left that dump headed to the land of milk and honey.

After a two-night stay in Sosua (really nothing to write about, nothing to add to what's already been discussed ad hominem on the Sosua thread), came Saturday morning. I was supposed to go back to Santiago and to pick up the cupid girl (one who showed up with her sister as chaperone to our dinner) , but the more I thought about it, she just wasn't that attractive to me, despite the pretty face. Forget that, I'm going to hit up the girl I chatted up at the Asian nail salon instead. Texted her to get ready in an hour, I'd like to take her out for lunch; and she agreed. When she showed up, she looked even better than I remembered when I last saw her. This was the first "impromptu" date that I've ever had in the DR. Meaning one that's neither P4 P, nor pre-arranged online girl. I knew I had to play it differently, and was prepared to exercise some patience. At lunch I invited her to go to the beach in Puerto Plata, first she said no, she was supposed to go back to work. Finally my persistence wore her down and she relented. But she did tell me she was not staying overnight anywhere, and warned me not to try anything bad. Of course I wouldn't, I'm a gentleman. I was thinking just wait and see.
Long story short, we ended up spending the whole weekend together. I had to fly back to the US on Monday and really wanted to get back to SD Sunday night, but she begged me to stay. (Apologies to a senior board member whom I was supposed to meet up Sunday night.) On Monday, she even came along for the ride to SD, just to spend more time with me, then took the Caribe bus back to Santiago. (Just like the pre-Colombian folklore our grandfathers spoke of, how the native Dominican women would bid farewell to departing foreign men back then?) All in all it was a weekend of GFE bliss for me. She is a simple girl, she has a beat-up 4 or 5 year-old Nokia, instead of a Samsung Galaxy or an iPhone. She works 6 days a week- turned out at the nail salon. She wasn't a patron as I thought she was when I met her. I did give her RD $2000 for the days she was with me, simply because I knew she missed work and didn't get paid. So far now that I'm back in the States, she hasn't asked for anything yet.
A review on Santiago cabanas: Blue Castle, on the westside of town (towards Puerto Plata), is close to Elysium which I believe Camaro wrote about, is very nice. The room we used has two levels, jacuzzi and living room on the first floor, bathroom with shower, bed, and even a sex swing (on the second floor. Not sure how much for overnight stay, short term I paid RD $1000.
Helios, is on the eastside of town (towards the airport), is next to BoraBora and across the street from Passions night club. Stayed there twice overnight at RD $1700 per. The rooms all had different themes, one we had on the second night has a stripper pole and disco lights. Great value and clean.
Final thoughts: On this trip I had pros, semi-pros, and a civilian. I appreciate the different role each plays. They each met a different need. In other words, who knew how much more time I would've wasted chasing not-so-sure pussy in the middle of my trip, but Sosua stepped in. However, my trip would have been a BB+ instead of an A- if it weren't for the total GFE from the civilian.
Good work with the girl from the nail salon bro! Those are the experience s that make a good trip great!

My First time in Santiago and it was an OK Trip. I've read other reports about the City so I decided to Check it out. I'm New York City Born and Raised so maybe I can relate to this city life in the. Are.
Got out the airport (STI) looking for a Cab, still normal rate is 20.00 to the city but what I did when a driver asked me if I need a ride, I said I was waiting on a cab and HE told me 13.00 a dude said ok lets go. So I'm feeling great LOL, The hotel I picked for the 3 day trip was the Matun Casino and Hotel. I got there and they ask if you have other people staying, no for you Santiago Vets they add a charge of 5. 00 for 1 girl. Now if you change who that person is from the original one its a whooping 900 pesos per chica.
I met a guy who was pissed about this because apparently they just started charging this 900.00 pesos per chica. So that kinda turned me off. I asked for a room away from the club but with WIFI. There is only WIFI in the lobby that's it. Not in your room. 2nd turn off. They do have a new little club in there I forget the name but its a lounge and they also have pure I think it was called. SO no matter what room you are in you here the thumping music all night long. I was there MOn. Thurs and they went to 6 am every freaking night.
I've lived in Medellin, Colombia for a year so I am 80 pct fluent in Spanish. Luckily for me. On my trip it wasnt that much Day time action as maybe you can find in Sosua or Samana or Puerto Plata, Badoo is your friend in Santiago. The plus about this trip is that prices are cheaper for food and things, maybe because its not a tourist area at all.
And people were very friendly. I met a ton of non working woman in the day time, was able to have relations with 2. The other woman I met were on badoo.
I'm a massage kinda guy so I had a contact in Santiago that refereed me to golds gym for a happy ending. I never made it, I didn't make it to the strip club either. But to sum this trip up its a great place to meet regular non chapadoras. Go out around the monument dancing have a good time with a pretty lady on your arm and good conversation.
Another Reason I went is because I was referred to this guy about airline deals and HE gets 30 pct united flights. I thought it was crazy but my ticket 10 days out was 651 got it for 420 , I will def use them again. I don't mind passing the email on to anyone else who makes last minute trips. The earliest they can book is 30 days out.
Happy hunting fellas I will be in Medellin next month.

It is a nice city with a lot of pretty women and night clubs and in those clubs that is where the action is but is mostly local civilian ladies and nonpros looking for boyfriends that go to the clubs. I have friends that have traveled from the USA to Santiago and have fallen in love with the city and women there and.
Have somewhat gotten with girlfriends that they have to send money. To me that is more expensive that travelling as a monger. In my opinion is best and cheaper to stay in Sosua, Puerto Plata or Cabarette. The beach is there, the chicas are everywhere, and accommodation is so much cheaper than Santiago. I usually stay in Cabarette or Sosua whenever I go to the DR and take a Caribe tours from Sosua if I want to go to Santiago. Another way to get cheap flights is to go to google flights. I usually get flights under 400 dollars on that site within 30 days of purchase to either airport Santiago or Puerto Plata. I am also going to Medellin on the 17th and it is my first time there. Maybe I will send you a PM to get some tips from you for Medellin.
[QUOTE=Grub1;1628936]Tell us more about these good airline rates and how to get them.[/QUOTE]Try google flights. It shows a calendar of flights with the best possible rates. I usually get flights under $400 to Santiago and Santo Domingo and $400 range to Puerto Plata.
Camaro Synopsis Santiago October 2014.
Gentleman I have just completed the Santiago segment of my most recent excursion throughout the Dominican Republic. This trip will include separate synopsis reports on Sosua, Bonao.
The aforementioned reports will include anecdotes and my observations of the conditions and activities on the ground of each of the locations. This trip includes 2 days in Sosua, 2 days in Bonao, 1 day in Santiago and closes with 3 days in Sosua. This report will be more about Camp David Ranch and my experience there than a true mongering report because as it turned out no actual mongering took place.
Below I have listed my notes for your review.
Camaro's Perspective.
I originally started traveling because I was tired of the drama I was encountering in my domestic relationships. I made it to most of the major Latin American destinations we are familiar with before settling in the Dominican Republic. I had absolutely no experience with PFP before I started traveling. My typical domestic modus operandi was meet a woman in a club or other venue get her number, go out a few times and generally by the 3rd date I would smash hang around or move on. My experience was typical for most men in the urban community I was from.
The thought of directly paying for sex never crossed my mind in a million years. I know we say "you pay one way or another" which is true but I never gave a woman money after I had sex with her until recently. With that said entering this lifestyle was a culture shock to say the least. Not only do you have to change your mind set in terms of dealing with women, but in order to maximize your effectiveness you need to learn the language and the culture. Therein lies the problem; many people who enter this lifestyle over-pay get flim-flammed or otherwise entangled because there is no mongering school or university that you can attend that prepares you for this thing of ours. Therefore you either get sucked up, learn from your mistakes or glean from monger boards or veterans who will take the time to sit down and coach the novice monger.
I will continue my PFP excursions but I am becoming more interested in non pro civilians and semi pros because although they can be more work in my opinion they have the potential to be more rewarding long term.
I arrive in Santiago.
This trip was made after I returned from my 2 day excursion to Bonao. The gua gua from Santiago to Bonao was 200 DOP but the return trip was 150 DOP go figure? It was a decent ride back not many passengers and air-conditioned with only one stop.
The parada is in-between the Metro and Carribe Tours so finding a cab was easy. The taxista wanted 600 DOP to go to Camp David but HE got 500 DOP. HE has this stupid WTF look on his face and I was like "entonces?" Why do these guys think I am a stupido gringo? HE said HE would charge me 400 DOP an hour for my night excursion. Here is Dominican logic, 500 DOP for a 15 minute ride but 400 DOP for an hour. Can you say durrrrrrrrrah?
Camp David Ranch.
Camp David is a hotel restaurant and bar that is 3000 feet above sea level and it overlooks the city of Santiago. The view puts me in the mind of Medellin. Camp David is reported to be one of the homes of ex-President Raphel Trujio. It has since been converted into a boutique hotel.
It has been reported that Camp David has become the place where gentlemen of wealth bring their secondary women due to its location and ambiance.
I have a king size bed with a flat screen and a very spacious room with a balcony. Cell phone usage is spotty I suspect because of the elevation. The WIFI and air-conditioning work well.
Santiago Agenda.
I did not have a clear etched in stone Santiago agenda other than spending time at Camp David. I entertained the following options:
Renting a taxi for the evening and going to the Monument to hunt or going to one of the car washes I visited the last time I was in Santiago.
Ordering in at Camp David, it has been reported that some of the staff have an inside connect to pro's and semi pro's that you can order in. It should be noted this is done on the low. On my first trip to Camp David a waiter offered to call a chica for me but I did not take advantage of the opportunity.
I have several Santiago standby's as I have been internet fishing in the area for quite some time.
Frankly, I just wasn't certain what I wanted to do and did not put much energy into a plan since the primary objective of this trip was Bonao and not Santiago. I decided to contact Ms. Santiago at the last minute and below I will report my experience.
Ms. Santiago.
MS is a contact from Dominican Cupid over a year ago. We have chatted on and off for the past year. The problem with the internet chicas is it's hard to keep up with them all because there are so many. I came to the conclusion that MS was a semi pro for the following reasons:
When we initially made contact she had an apartment but was not working.
Her Facebook page has pictures with her wearing Jordans and Nikes, once again she is not working.
I had to rebuff a request for ayuda during one of our whatsapp conversations.
A fellow monger posted a photo of them together and HE shared with me HE gave her 2 k.
In the past we talked about a cabana run as well as when I flirted with her she was always receptive. We fell out after the ayuda request but she still remained a woman I wanted to connect with.
Ms Santiago part 2.
The bottom line is that I have had a hard on for this woman for over a year. She is physically very much what I am attracted to the quintessential flaca canela. I call and set things up and she arrives at Camp David and I am lyke WTF? She is 10 X more beautiful in person. Unlike Ms. Bonao she exudes the maturity of an adult woman despite the fact she is only 22.
Although my agenda was to hit because I thought she was semi pro I decided to go into my date mode. We sit on the balcony at Camp David looking at the stars she orders red wine and me. Wait for it. Virgin pina colada. Her eys are absolutely beautiful in contrast with the dark blue sky and she keeps smiling at me for some strange reason.
We shift gears because originally she wanted nothing to eat but now she decides to share dinner with me. I am having the authentic date experience that I have been seeking for so long. We talk about a myriad of different things to include the fact that mongers are sending and soliciting naked pictures and that is one of the reasons she does not like Dominican Cupid. After dinner I ask her "quiere pasar tiempo conmigo en privado?" She responds smiles and lights up the balcony and says "si!" Now I know I am in like flint. Ohhh yeah!
We get to the room and she offers me a massage. Now I know I am in! DAMIT I haven't had sex in 2 days. The massage is mediocre but mamma always taught me it's the thought that counts. So she interrupts the massage and guess what? The questions come. Lo que tu quieres conmigo? Tu quieres casarse en el futuro? Ohhhhh snap this is going south fast! Then she says "tu eres un aventuro" I try to explain I only travel alot because I am trying to find a place to live and "soy no mujeriego!
She starts with I am not that kind of girl and she has to get home because her mother is strict blah blah blah. So I respond in caballero fashion and walk her outside after we call the cab. I remembered Brooklyn Beas admonition about Sosua and told her I was staying in Cabarette. She insist she wants to come see me in Cabarette so I asked her about her mother and she says that's different because she travels throughout the country as a dancer on occasion and that would be her excuse. I told her on my next trip I'd take 2 days in Santiago to get to know her better and she seemed to be happy with my response. We kissed I paid the taxi and she was off.
Assessment of Ms Santiago.
MS and I were communicating on and off before my trip but she dropped off the radar for almost 2 weeks before we reconnected the day before my Santiago trip. I know she is semi pro based on a conversation with another monger. I suspect something happened during our break or when we met she decided to change her modes operandi with me. I couldn't bust her without humiliating her nor did I want to. I suspect she is in transition and she wants something more than what she has been receiving.
I have no intentions of being monogamous any time soon therefore in future conversations if she will agree to slow her roll I will spend more time with her because I really like her but if she pushes too hard well you know.
Closing thoughts on Camp David Ranch.
There are some distinct disadvantages to Camp David. First, its location is away from the city which makes taxi fares high. It also has a prime reputation in Santiago so taxi fares range from 1000-500 DOP depending on where you are coming from in the city. It should be noted that taxi fares in Santiago are generally about 200 DOP a trip. In addition cell phone coverage is on and off depending on where you are on the property.
Despite the disadvantages I thoroughly enjoyed Camp David the room was comfortable and the staff was attentive. The view from the restaurant balcony was nothing short of spectacular. Dinner was great with a diverse menu. I had a chicken dish with honey sauce which was excellent and breakfast in the morning was included.
Camp David may be a little more than some would like to spend but it was a unique experience that I will not soon forget.
Closing thoughts on my anecdotal experience.
In this thing of ours regardless as to whether we target civilian-non pros, semi pros or total pros there are no guarantees. In my situation what I thought was a sure thing turned out to be a bust. I can speculate on the reasons but in fact I am not exactly certain what happened, however my experience is not going to deter me from seeking more than simple PFP. As much as I love the ease of Sosua at some point it gets boring and I want to experience something different.
Going forward I will continue to mix it up with civilian-non pros, semi pros or total pros and let the chips fall where they may.
Conclusion.
After my failure with Ms Santiago I thought about hiring a taxi and going out to hunt but I was so tired from my Bonao travels I decided to call it a night and take out my frustrations on the chicas of Sousa I have 3 days to catch up.
My next trip will be the second week in November where I will explore Mao and Esperanza I will keep you posted.
Camaro,
In hindsight, do you think MS would've complied had you directly offered some "bling" when you asked her if she wanted to spend private time with you?
Based on your description of her situation, she has to be either well sponsored or strong SEMI. Either way she sounds like bull sh! T! at.

I stated clearly my intention to live in the Dominican Republic (which in fact is true) by taking a shot at the long game by playing the "good girl I am not that easy" her hopes would be I would see her as a potential mate. As previously stated she did not know I knew what I knew so I was one step ahead of her.

They can't stay with you when you are in town, but their family will let them go out of town. Why will their family let them go out of town? Where do they think they get the money to travel? Who do they think they are going to stay with out of town? So why not just tell your family you are going out of town, but instead you stay in town with me?
And see I would have told her I was staying in Sosua. Then I would have added in disbelief that it seems like there are a lot of hookers up there. She has to know if she is not going to fuck me then I will definitely be getting some pussy elsewhere. It wouldn't have been so easy to let her good thing get away if she knew that evil was lurking. You gotta balance the gentleman with the mannish.
I have an early morning 8:00 AM flight out of STI and was wondering which hotel you might recommend in Santiago.
I have looked at Aloha Sol but they show booked. Other possible options are Hotel Platino which is priced right and Hodelpa Centro Plaza which is more expensive.
Also it has been several years since I have flown out of STI how much time should I allot for pass through security? Arriving an hour before the flight seem about right for a smaller airport.
Thanks.
Try sending an email to Hotel Aloha Sol: reservaalohasol@yahoo.es. Often times websites may show a place as busy but writing direct helps and they will book without you having to give credit card info. You may write in English.
To be on the safe side I would get to STI at 6.30 AM, which means leaving hotel at 6.00 AM at that hour. Also check the airline website for flight delays which are not too uncommon.

I know this sounds like overkill, but I'm former military and the attitude of "hurry up and wait" has its positive points.
Better 40 minutes early than miss flight by 4 minutes.
It all depends on what the crowd is like that day.
I have arrived on days with very few passengers and others when there were long lines at each phase (ticketing, customs / immigration, and security).
On crowded days, I'm glad I arrived early.
On sparse days, I take advantage of my spare time and smoke a cigar before entering the customs / security door.

At the time you are leaving (8:00 AM) it's not that busy. There is usually just the DL flight in the AM which I have taken before. Get there (STI) an hour and half before and you should be fine, the morning flights are rarely ever delayed since the incoming flight is from the night before and it's on the ground for several hours. While the minimum for a checked bag is an hour before, I have been able to make it through with 45 minutes. I do have status with DL and that tends to help. I wouldn't suggest pushing it late however. The airport does not have much in terms of shopping or eating, once you get past security it is not very exciting. I've been at STI during busy and non-busy hours, it has never taken me more than 15-20 minutes to get through passport control and security.
Yesterday walked out of the gates of STI airport and negotiated a cab fare of 500 pesos to metro bus Santiago. Then paid metro 195 for the ride to Sosua. Also there is a claro store 200 yards from metro to buy a SIM card.
It blows my mind when guys pay $150 for a cab ride to Sosua. When a Dominican can make the same trip for less then 10 dollars and a half hour difference in travel time. Thanks for the heads up.

Booked into the Hodelpa Centro Plaza but they were full and they transfered us to the Hodelpa Garden Court for the same price. I must say it was a very nice hotel and less than 5 minutes from the hotel with shuttle service. A little expensive compared to other options but it was nice to have a good nights sleep before the flight home. Compared to SDQ the Santiago airport was a breeze both directions.
Camaro in Santiago Synopsis December 2014.
I have just completed the Santiago portion of my most recent excursion into the Dominican Republic. In my past trips I have done several date excursions into Santiago from Sosua, but this is the first time I have spent the weekend in the city. This report will contain my observations from previous trips as well as this current trip.
This synopsis will be a companion to my Sosua and Puerto Plata reports. This trip included 9 days in Sosua 2 days in Puerto Plata and 3 days in Santiago. I will do a report detailing my experiences in the other 2 destinations. Below I have listed my observations of Santiago for your review.
Zeus Cabana- Autopista Duarte.
In my future trips I will try to visit as many different cabanas in Santiago as I can to see the differences. The room was small comfortable and clean. There was a small couch and queen size bed along with a table and chairs that you can use for dining. I enjoyed the piped in music which was easy listening Latin music that was easy to make love by.
The condoms were not on the bed like many cabanas they were in the bathroom in a tray on top of the toilet. The food was decent. I ordered a cubano sandwhich sin queso and why did they give me a sandwich with cheese? The food order mix up was the only complaint I had. The room was more than sufficient to do the job.
Heilos Cabana-Autopista Duarte.
Heilos Cabana is less than 5 minutes from the International Car Wash, the property is very nice with fountains and great landscaping. The room was great with a couch in a small living room area, dining room area with tables chairs and mirrors on the walls. There was a decent sized bedroom with a sex chair complete with instructions.
One complaint I had was the music was jacked up with a lot of static so I could not set the mood with my chica. Overall the room was very nice and comfortable.
Pegasus Cabana-Avenida Rafel Vidal.
Pegasus Cabana was un-impressive the room was very small with a table chair and bed. The room was not divided into sections like some of the other cabanas. The music did not have a volume control nor did the air-conditioner have a temperature control. The room was very basic and not as comfortable as the others.
Platino Hotel & Casino.
The Platino Hotel & Casino is in the Platinum Plaza in Santiago. Although I had a queen size room it was much a much smaller hotel room than I am accustomed to. There wasn't enough room for a chair; the only place you could sit is on the bed which could present a problem with the wrong chica. There was a small refrigerator with mini bar the air conditioning and WIFI worked well.
Platino Bar & Lounge.
Platino Bar & Lounge is connected to the hotel. The restaurant and casino are in the same plaza but outside the hotel. I suspect this is a favorite hotel for mongers, one morning at breakfast I saw 2 older gentlemen with younger women that were very attractive; I will let you guess what they were doing the night before.
There is a balcony and upstairs and downstairs to the venue. Breakfast is included daily and the food is descent. The restaurant also provides room service. My biggest complaint not only about the hotel but about the restaurant is that everything has a cramped feel and is small. I felt like I needed more room to maneuver where ever I was on the property.
*I will give the Platino staff their props because everyone was professional and courteous and seemed genuinely interested in customer service.
*It should be noted that the Platino Hotel & Casino is approximately 5 minutes from both The Monument and Bella Terra -Mall therefore it is in a good location. However there is not much accessible in walking distance therefore you will need transportation.
Transportation.
For my transportation needs I would have the front desk call a taxi. For taxis you can negotiate an hourly rate between 300-500 pesos. The minimum taxi fare is 200 pesos. I spent about 1000 pesos in taxi fare per day but that is less than what I would pay to rent a car and I don't have to worry about traffic or gasoline.
Traffic in Santiago is not as bad as in Santo Domingo since Santo Domingo is larger but it can be horrendous at times. I was glad I did not have to maneuver through what sometimes was gridlock therefore my money was well spent.
Bella Terra Mall.
Bella Terra Mall is a multiple level mall with parts outside and parts inside with an open air feel. It was a nice mall however there were many spaces vacant which gave it a ghetto feel.
Migras Bella Terra Mall.
Migras is an outdoor venue (bar restaurant) in the entrance of the Bella Terra Mall. It has an excellent vibe the only problem would be in the event of inclement weather it would be uncomfortable. On the night I was there it was a little cool around 68 degrees but not as cool as it was in Sosua the previous week.
I absolutely love this place the staff and the food was great. They specialize in fruit drinks and other alcoholic beverages. After dark a DJ fires up the turn tables and it changes from an outdoor restaurant to a club atmosphere. There were a couple birthday celebrations while I was there. I highly recommend this venue and I surely will return on my next visit to Santiago.
Vitolas Cigar Club & Restaurant.
Vitolas is next door to Platino Hotel and has an indoor and outdoor section. Inside there is a cigar store and bar, I walked inside and could smell the cigar smoke so I decided to go outside in the open air section.
There was a cigar, food and drink menu. It was a much laid back atmosphere and the club faced the street so you could watch the cars go by and enjoy the evening breeze. The food menu varied from sandwiches to full course meals including steak and fish. I had a filet de mero which was very good.
*I noticed many restaurants put cheese on their mashed potatoes which is something I am unaccustomed to at home.
Please don't ask me where I was.
I wanted to get some change and a haircut but there was nothing in walking distance so I had a taxi take me around.
First he took me to a casa de cambio where you had to be buzzed in after which you are facing a window that is blacked out with gates in front of it. I cannot see inside the window and I am thinking WTF? So I slide my money in and get my change. That was the weirdest feeling I have ever had in a change house not being able to see the attendant changing my money. I got 43.5 DOP -1 US.
Next I went to a barber shop for a haircut and shave. The barber is working on me like he is a surgeon. After my shave he puts 3 applications of different lotions on my face and I left feeling like I had more of a facial than haircut and shave. How much? 250 pesos. WTF? In the US I pay $20.00 just for a haircut.
CONYASO!
The Monument of Heros.
It was not my intent to hunt for pros on the Santiago portion of my journey because I had a few non & semi pros lined up but everything fell through and I was left with an open evening. I decided to go to the Monument to see what I could find.
I took a taxi to the Monument and when I arrived I found the entire area alive and vibrant. There was a carnival across the street and the bars and food carts that surround the Monument were busy. You could hear music as you walked around the Monument and the area was full of children, teenagers and couples but I saw very few singles and no one who appeared to be working. This was around 10 pm but later when my taxisita drove me through the area around 1 am I could see some streetwalker traffic.
The Monument is absolutely beautiful at night because the lights that illuminate the Monument can be seen at quite a distance. The Monument makes for a great date location because you can ascend to the top of the Monument you can walk around it or you can sit on the benches and chill.
The International Car Wash.
On my maiden excursion to Santiago I visited La Colonia Car Wash and International Car Wash both of which are on Autopista Duarte about 5 minutes from one another.
The International Car Wash then and now has the best talent of any car wash I have been to in the Dominican Republic. Most women were 7's and arguably there were some 9's present. There is an inside club with bar and dance floor and an outside seating area with plastic chairs.
I met a chica at the International Car Wash last year and it seemed like we hit it off so we agreed on 3000 pesos which is the standard across the board for takeout for all chicas. I left to continue my recon and when I came back I was ready to take her bust she changed the price from 3000 to 5000 pesos. I have no idea what happened but I politely got up and walked away. I saw her again on this occasion but we did not exchange saludos but she kept staring at me while I was speaking with my new chica.
The rate is 3000 pesos for 2 hours and you can go to a cabana or a hotel. I generally do not pay 3000 pesos for ST but some of the women at this venue will make you think twice about what you are willing to pay. I would recommend the International Car Wash to any monger who visits Santiago. The 3000 pesos turned out to be money very well spent.
Dominican Time-Ahorita.
I experienced the meaning of "ahorita" this trip from taxis saying they were 5 minutes away and arriving 30 minutes later to chicas being up to 1 hour and a half late. While waiting for my chicas if I did not have a cell phone communicating with them on whatsapp I would have left them because they took so long.
Since "ahorita" is part of the culture I will need to get used to it.
Las Mujeres.
I had some incredible experiences with my chicas this trip. My selection ranged from a strict PFP chica from the International Car Wash to a semi pro med student to a non-pro civilian that didn't ask for a peso.
PFP pro.
The International Car Wash provides some of the best talent in Santiago. I clicked with my chica like we had known one another for years. I was quite surprised after many lack luster performances in Sosua. She not only was affectionate but after we were done she was in no hurry to leave and we actually talked laughed and cuddled for almost an hour after we were done handling our business. She gave me one of the best PFP experiences in my mongering carreer.
Semi Pro.
I met her on Dominican Cupid and after 3 whatsapp messages she let me know she was in the University and she was interested in "citas o amistad" we negotiated 3000 pesos TLN and I had a pleasant time with her. She was distant at times but not in a rude way kind of in a nervous way. Over all it was a pleasant experience.
Non Pro Civilian.
I met her on Dominican Cupid and when we met for drinks she was hard to read. One thing making the transition from pros to non pros is you have to be careful not to treat all women like prostitutes because many will be offended at the hint of money for sex.
She was hard to read because I did not know which way to go with her until I saw smiles when I happened to see the naked photos in her phone. On the second date she came to my room and everything started slow but ended with a bang. She was a biter and very vocal. In fact after one session she pulled off the condom and commenced to giving me a very good BBBJ it was at that time I knew I was not in Sosua.
My cost was taxi fare dinner and drinks. It was refreshing not to give a woman money after sex.
Conclusion.
Going forward I will be spending a lot of time in Santiago therefore I hope I can find one or two regulars that I can see frequently. Although I plan to live in the Sosua area I am not too excited about being there during the weekends so weekend excursions to Santiago will be right up my alley.
This trip only scratched the surface of what Santiago has to offer therefore I am looking forward to experiencing more.
I am flying into Santiago on 1/30 and arrive around 2 am on a Saturday morning via Spirit? Where would I find nice ladies and a cabana to kill a few hours until the bus stations open up? Limited Spanish skills and first time to DR so would appreciate any advice.

The Spirit flight out of FFL to STI was delayed because it comes out of NY and they were snowed in. I'm just over 6 feet and my knees touched the seat in front of me plus the pilot hit every bump in the sky. By the time I got to Sosua it was 6 am and my internal clock was all fucked up. It was my worst flight ever and haven't flown Spirit since.
If you read down Camaro just did a great report with all the info you requested.
Thanks so much. Your reports gives us so many more options for enjoying the DR. The details are so valuable. The women in Santiago.
Are very beautiful. I plan to use some of your tips when I am there.

Never buy this with Spirit in the exit row. They have a wall that blocks you extending your legs out. I was so pissed I paid extra for it. AA and Delta had me spoiled.
On Monday after rolling out of Sosua, I did some sight seeing before going to Santiago. I drove to the town of Monte Cristi, on the northwestern-most tip of the DR. The coastal cliffs and a secluded beach make for some breath-taking vistas. It was worth the drive.
During my time in Santiago I stayed at Hotel Platino and Helios. Great minds think alike, Camaro! The first night when I checked into Platino, the front desk didn't ask if I was doing single or double occupancy, and charged $1900. I didn't have any problems or getting surcharged when I brought my girl in. I have subsequently checked out, and then checked back in, Platino. And this second time the front desk asked. Without hesitation I told them double occupancy this time and they charged me an extra $400. I didn't see any guests there that gave off the appearance of mongers, but I did meet an older American couple joining their kids who've already been doing charitable work at a local orphanage.
In between my separate stays at Platino, we did one night at Helios. I was reminded of the problems I had with them on my last trip. Wifi didn't work, and fitted sheets that are too small to hold snugly onto the thick mattress. It's highly annoying when getting busy and almost possible to get a good night sleep. Imagine every two hours you toss and turn and feel your bare ass on the vinyl mattress. Oh yes, and as Camaro has reported, the audio control is terrible. All first world problems, I know.
One night I took my girl to Passion night club, the premier entertainment venue in Santiago. She asked if she could bring her two brothers along, innocuously I agreed. Of course guess who's picking up the tab for the bottle of Johnny Walker Black and the after-party late night cravings at McDonalds? Dominicans who want to show hospitality to their foreign guest? Or Mr. Thurston Howell III visiting the DR on his private yacht?
Afterwards I gave a polite but stern talk to my girl: yo, I don't mind treating you, or your daughter. But let this be the last time I'm paying for your ungrateful and unemployed grown ass brothers. This scenario was representative of the conundrum I faced between P4 P and "regular" girls. With P4 P, you know easily how much money you spend. Now I truly understand the age-old edict "you pay the woman to leave". With civilians, you wine them, you dine them, go shopping with them, quickly you lose track of how much you spent. And God forbid you get sucked into their lives. For this reason I'm not ready to knock some mongers who keep strictly to P4 P in Sosua. Perhaps they knowingly want to avoid this type of headache (and expenses, and time)? Mr. Gogo spoke of entertaining the girls' moms and buying school supplies for their kids. Congratulations and respect if you can achieve the perfect balance of happily paying for what you feel is right, and maximum return on dollar spent / pussy gotten.
Tempoecorto wrote about maturing from Sosua P4 P to "regular" girls. (let's just assume I've done that) - my next trajectory will be from "regular girls of median DR household income" to "regular girls with shitload of disposable income". But then again, why would that type want anything to do with me.
Merry Christmas everyone, happy mongering!

I go in saying I am going to spend X and if my spending approaches exceeding X then I abort just like I would for PFP. I was fortunate on my last Santiago excursion I had a civilian that cost me drinks dinner and taxi fare and some of the best sex I have had in the Dominican Republic. If I can meet a half dozen more like her I will be one HAPPY monger!
