Sosua Reports

[Sammon]

Awesome post. Read my mind exactly. For a guy like me, unfortunately it seems like the DR may not be an option this summer. Sucks cause Sosua is a hell of a trip when things are full go. I know a million people have been saying it for months, but travel ain't going to be the same for some time.

You never know. DR needs tourists money whether AI resort type or mongers. Everybody contribute to the economy. Sosua always had its up and downs recently from a mayor who killed main street to chicas who outpriced themselves. Normal girls used to come to make quick money and will stay with you for a few days. This way they need not rent a room or stay with a friend paying money.

With the new mayor and threat of COVID gone who knows.

Charm of Sosua is quick weekend hop. It all depends on your luck if you meet right girls or not.

If you are a tourist looking for consistent 7 - 10's available to you, forget it. If you require club or casino action, a fair choice of bars to go to, and also hoping to run into a bunch of 7- 10's, forget it. If the beach is corny and boring to you, forget it. If not being able to smash a variety of chicas 1 to 3 times a day every day is a problem, then forget it. If you are bored out of your skull because Sosua is operating like a normal small town for it's residents, forget it. If you can't stand Sosua for more than 3-5 days normally when there was no pandemic, then definitely do yourself a favor and forget Sosua. Find somewhere else to go.

I had to share this information with all my friends. They have been in hibernation so long they're ready to make a move. Quite frankly so am I. I had to tell them if we go to the Sue, don't expect nothing to be open like it normally is on a weekend. You have to rely on your contacts. We can also feed off each other contacts.

I had one friend for the no and one friend for the go. I was the deciding factor. I'm still weighing my options. I can do the Sue and knock off some of my favorites. And since I've been told to not expect nothing I can prepare for it and make it something. I know my other friend who wants to go is thinking the same thing.

The biggest problem is the one who wants to stay on the south Coast. He cannot operate without the club and beach 7-10 chicas scenery. He would have a hard time. When I said we were possibly going up north. The first thing he said was let's pay for VIP in Classico.

Find somewhere else to go.

Both humorous and true. Hopefully, this reading will insure that the place remains free of clutter, and will keep the contagion at bay.

If you are an expat here, yes. If you are a laid back tourist who doesn't require much excitement or entertainment, yes. If you have regulars already and they are available, Yes. If you are good with using social media or venturing out, and don't mind pursuing chicas that route, and have a way to get to them or them getting to you, YES a trip is worth it. If you just like being here in Sosua, Yes it's worth it. If you scuba dive or fish, then yes. If you feel comfortable meeting new people, and arent lost because your boys couldn't make it there too, then Yes.

That local newspaper for information is "Dominican Today" website. I quoted it wrong. They had posted up the outline of their reopening with the posted dates of activities and when they would open. I'll be on the ground this Thursday and will help the local economy move forward. All one needs is the phone and contact numbers. Unless of course it's your first rodeo.

Peace,

For Reference.

A lot of the restaurants, and bars that also sell food have re-opened. Old Rumba, Jolly Roger, Mateos, etc. Nobody is wearing a mask on premises.

The other bars and restaurants that survived the shut down are getting ready to re-open, but right now there are no tourists, so they are waiting for them to show up, before they open up and hire staff just to sit around and wait.

Same on the beach.

When the tourists come, the chicas will follow!

According to the plan laid out previously and according to '"The Dominican Daily" all "entertainment" is scheduled to open then. That's discos and such.

Temporarily half of the previous load and double the price, I recall 80 pesos to Pto Pta but 100 pesos price was also posted.

Many thanks for the information.

So in addition to the driver, there are 3 more people. The rate of course reflects that but many may have trouble with the hiked up rates too. Having said that, without this, that extremely close proximity of 7 sardines, that place, now that everything is open, would be soon like FL / TX.

[NightWhaler]

All clubs are closed. The only bars that are open are ones that serve food as they can be considered restaurants and restaurants can be open. Bars in hotels are allowed to be open. No problem getting a beer on the beach. Everything has to close at 10 pm. Nobody knows when things will open any further than this, if they tell you that they know when they are lying plain and simple.

That's it!

On another note, how is the public conveyance working? Carritos were Driver+2+4 configuration, and now? Thanks.

How crazy / stupid would it be to visit the Sosua / Santiago area in late July? Just returned from a Cancun trip for a few days and found action with the girls, but not much else. Bars and nightlife were dead. I am a big fan of the chase and the hunt. Any experienced mongers out there have an opinion on this? Would a late July trip be a waste of time and money or do you think the Island is ready to get back to life and start the party? I have read that Bars and clubs will be closed till late August, is this true, or have bars and small clubs been open late on the DL?

Any opinions or responses is greatly appreciated.

All businesses in Sosua depend on tourists, specifically sex tourists not counting guests at AI resorts. Hotels will not survive if they do not allow guests. For safety sake I always believe in staying at hotels to avoid problems with girls. Hotels would like to protect the guests.

On the other hand air be&be and apartment rentals has no protection.

Even when Sosua fully re opens there will be strict guidelines issued by the government. Flout the rules at your own peril. It is better to wait to make plans to go however blue your balls are. There are forum members who live there and will give on the ground reports. Accordingly you make plans.

That is true as safety is a concern. But there are some villas and hotels and resorts that are not allowing any chicas while corna is going on. Not even the pay the extra fee situation per girl. For myself I don't like the one and two star hotels, that have no restrictions on chicas during the corna, but enjoy the larger villas. No doubt being safe is a concern as I may just wait this situation out when better information and availability is forthcoming. As I've seen in the past few months whatever the government says on one day will change 10 times before the next week.

Not sure about late July as it might be too soon to tell. I've heard some guys already touched down in Sosua and they say the bars and beaches are open but not any clubs. One guy sent me a text saying the beaches are alright but no clubs. I've heard the restaurants have to close early but things change on a daily basis. I am trying to book for Sosua for August but I want to get more intel before booking my flight. I have also heard the villas like Residencial Hispaniola will not allow "guest" while the corna is still going on. So be sure to contact the hotel to be sure the allow "guest" to come back to your room. I hear Sosua Inn and Anhvee and a few other hotels allow guest now but I like the large villa experience so if you are like me then Air be& be may be the way to go. What ever you hear now I am sure it will change many times before the end of July.
