[i]Go to Sosua. I have been to Boca Chica the last 6 or 7 years but just came back from Sosua in April. It was great. The women in this area aren't the freakin thieves that they are in Boca Chica. I banged one chick and I asked her how much and she said whatever you want. The dudes on the motorcycles the same thing. They just said whatever you want. I do not want to make it seem that there not any thieves there but they are not as abundant as in BC. You also are so close to Caberate and Puerta Plata if you want a change of pace. I am afraid that this place is getting very popular with the Americans(I am an American) which is going to drive the prices up but I will worry about this later. [/i][/QUOTE] Have been to Sosua. Not really interested in going to Boca Chica. But to be honest, in Sosua, last sept. when i was there the few times i didn't nail down the price at beginning, i would be taken. Unfortunately, i didn't bother to review the board much before i went there. Within 24 hrs. of arrival, despite my asking the girls how much it would cost me, both said that it didn't even need to be discussed, to not worry about it, etc...Well, bullshit!.. A hot 'High Caribe' girl tried taking me for $60 for half hour session after we were done at my hotel; and even 1 of the Palace girls asked me for $60 after we were done with a 45 minute session at her hotel. Shit, i felt like telling both of them after to take a hike, but i didn't want problems; and they did provide quality service, even though the 'High Caribe' girl rushed me at 1:30 am so she could return to the club. They both accepted $10 less (which obvious to me later was still too much!) than what they originally stated, and I subsequently learned from the exper..Also, the motoconchos would ask me for double their reg. rate if i waited till end of ride to talk price. But that was just my exper., as they could tell i was new there, and solo, and a 1st timer...Sosua is still the place for me to go my next trip, and the Palace will be where i want to stay the longest...To play it safe however, with all involved, i will get the price cleared 1st to insure less problems later. With Wsg info at your fingertips it all gets a lot easier!

gpiper,
Don't feel bad, all of us have been gouged a few times, myself included. My first trip I was overcharged and paid the gringo prices and even when I talked to others about the bargain I thought I had negotiated they said, whatever they quote the girls will almost always will take a 3rd of that. There is no way I could afford the north coast prices. I have talked to two individuals that have came back from Boca Chica and both paid less than I do. Both paid between 400-550RD during the day for 1-2hours and for overnight 600-800RD. They bargain better than me. I paid that when the peso rate was 22 to 1. Stupid me. Oh well, currently I am talking to a few normal girls from Santo Domingo and one from BC and I look forward to having some fun next month with pros between the girls. I will bargain better this time.

Just came back from Boca Chica and had a GREAT time there. Food was great, Playa Vista was all that the posts have said, and met a BEAUTIFUL girl who stayed with me for the duration of my visit.
I'm going back in October, and can't wait to get there.
That being said, everyone please BEWARE of the Babylon Resorts scam on the internet. There is no such place.
I am a frequent cd Juarez visitor, and Boca Chica is making me rethink my travel dollar plans.

I just found out I'll be able to break away from NYC for about four days between 8/15 and 8/24. Anybody else going to be in or around the DR then?
I'd like to stay at a chica fiendly place but also where I could just chill out and watch the waves by myself. I also want to do some non-mongering, vacation-like things like scuba dive, or whatever-basically have some fun. Can anyone offer any advice on how to accomplish all of these and where I should stay to do it? (City and hotel, etc.)
My last experience in the DR was at Coral Hamacas in La Boca Chica. I liked La Boca Chica but not Hamacas. Not chica friendly. But if you know a place in or near there let me know. I'd be willing to try Sosua too.
I'm ready for some flames regarding my non-mongering desires (such desires, however, not at the expense of mongering, of course) but please understand that I've been working long hours, I really need a vacation and I can't visit this board at work-I have to sneak in on it when my better half isn't looking. This is a sort of disclaimer that I know I should be doing more research, but it's hard for me right now and I want to zoom off while I have the chance. So, I'm relying on your assistance in this matter.
Thanks in advance.

Remsen St,
I stayed at Azzurra in Boca Chica (en Calle San Rafael), and they were VERY chica friendly,to the point of sitting with mi amiga when I was late getting back to the hotel ,until I arrived. Hotel Europa I believe is chica friendly as well. Both have fairly new rooms, Azzurra's was big,and a HUGE bathroom,which literally made mi amiga laugh.They are 2 blocks or so from the beach,but the noise level is quite a bit higher there (street noise,motorcycles etc). Cost was around 25-30 USD (this was in July).
Hope this helps.

Remsen st,
Boca Chica has very calm water so for snorkeling, scuba diving, etc it is very good but horrible for surfing, other water activities, etc. Cabarete in the north, near Sosua and Puerto Plata is much better for surfing, etc.
Europa is almost always sold out and is a little loud for me at night but people have different preferences. I prefer Residence Los Pinos and Costa Lunga for close 2nd. Los Pinos is more quiet and both places are girl friendly with safe/security box, cable, etc except with taxes, Costa Lunga will be about 45US with taxes include, and Los Pinos varies between 30-32US total, but if staying for a while, can negotiate fairly easily. Costa Lunga has a pool as well and is more upscale, Los Pinos is clean, quiet, and more tranquil. Both about 3 minute walk to beach and very close to each other. I have never stayed at Azurra so can't comment on that hotel.
An extra note, have heard from a couple of regular traveler's that Madhouse and Austria will probably reopen after the PanAm games are done on Aug 17th, I hope so. Well that's all I have except than in a couple of weeks, a fellow monger and I will be tearing up the town and SD for 10 days:) Tick, Tick...goes the clock...

Hello,
Only bad question is the one not asked.
Girls in DR pay with US or RD dollars?
Exchange dollars at Airport or Hotel?
Thank you, Frank

Pay only in RD pesos. Exchange has been hovering around 35RD to 1 US for a few weeks now. For 40 US/1400RD, you should be able to get a short-time girl during the day for a couple of hours and an overnight girl. Exchange rate is pretty good at the airport I have found and usually higher there than at BC. For best exchange if you are in Santo Domingo, exchange there. Western Union in BC usually has the best exchange or the cambio near Don Juan resort, I believe that is the name of the place. Hotels almost always will exchange more in their favor but check out the rates at banks, Western Union, etc and then ask Hotel. US dollar is in high demand so they may be just as competitive thinking of future exchange on your money.

why these digits? On my last trip to BC in May I always got short time for 500 plus 50 tip. Why 1400?

Mirco,
Using 1400RD as a maximum spending for a short term girl and an overnight. When I go down in two weeks, that will be my limit. 550RD max for my short-time during the day for as long of I time I can get them, (2 hours approx) and 850RD max for an overnight girl. So up to 1400RD for two women, short-time and overnight.

This is cool! Sorry for misunderstanding, bro!
BTW some of us go in two weeks too, including myself.
Mind to join efforts?

Anybody knows a website with hotel listings for boca chica?
I am looking for a place around US$30/night, A/C. I don't need to bring girls upstairs (not this time, my friends...)
Also, any hotel will pick me up at Santo Doming airport? If not, how much is a cab ride from the airport ?

Freedick,
I don't know about posting email addresses anymore but this is free informational site, www.bocachicabeach.net and lists hotels, their description, prices, and contact info. Also has a lot about Boca Chica. For 30US a night, which is cost of Residence Los Pinos, I always stay there, has what you are looking for (AC, safe box, kitchenette, security guard, cable tv, and is chica friendly. Europa and Costa Lunga are nice as well but cost about 15US more a night, have stayed at those hotels as well. If you stay at Los Pinos, an italian man named Roberto can pick you up for free, but I always give tip, he will show you around the town and speaks great English. Otherwise a taxi is costing about 350RD or about 11US, current exchange rate is about 33RD to 1.
Mirco,
Maybe I will run into you but have travel partner and a few friends there at that time.

To revisit the pricing discussion, my first day in Boca Chica ,I was with a BEAUTIFUL girl for 800 DR for as long as i wanted (daytime),and that ended up with her staying with me every nite for nothing ( past dinner and drinks etc) for four nites.
A lot of that will depend on how you treat the girls.She admonished me "no mas chicas" when i went to walk the beach,and i agreed, but had no problem with being with me and two of her amigas one afternoon!Go figure.That cost me about $80USD!
Treat them right, and LIFE IS GOOD!

Wolverine71, Rear Window, and all the rest,
Thanks so much for your help. Some of you might recall a post of mine describing an experience I had at Boca Chica (I think it was in another thread) at Coral Hamacas that I wasn't crazy about. Chicas there only wanted USD and were getting $ from horny tourists!!! And I'm talking short-term too. The chicas must think that millionaires stay at that place. The info you all provided would definitely have made my next stay there much more enjoyable.
Unfortunately, my travel plans have changed and I can't make it to the Isle de chicas anytime soon. But I again thank you all for your help and hope to use it because I'm hoping to make a go of it in October or near Thanksgiving.
Thanks. You were very informative.
