Sosua Reports

[Mr Enternational]

There are some massage parlors and the girls stand outside soliciting clients. They are not good massage places. No sex. I am not sure where you went. Another thing is offering massages is a decent way of offering sex. If they are standing in front of the massage parlor they are not offering sex. However sex is on offer by any girl walking on Sosua streets. Just need to ask.

The hookers under the guise of massage thing is going on in several countries now, especially on chat apps. I will cut to the chase and say that I do not want a massage, only sex. Don't be shy. That always separates the wheat from the chaff. Like you said, just need to ask. If it is a legit massage they will say no sex, only massage. Pic from one of my legit massage parlors in Thailand.

While walking the strip in Sosua, at various spots there were girls in front of shops asking me if I wanted a massage. I didn't partake as I was always sweaty from walking and didn't know exactly what these massages consist of. Some of the girls looked pretty good. Can anyone report on what these massages are all about? If they are nothing sexual, can you at least get the girls number for a hotel room visit?

If you knew the new owners you would not be saying that they won't be in business long. One of the owners has been living in Sosua for ten years and is a musician with a huge following and tons of friends, when he plays the local bars in Sosua he packs the places, now he will be playing at his own bar. He is also a successful home builder here. The other owner owns a condominium complex and has lived here a number of years. My point is that both of these guys have already been successful in business on this island, if anyone can make a run at it it's these two guys. Starting next week they will have live music three times a week.

Please keep us updated as to how they eventually make out. Again I wish them the best of luck, especially since cooking food and running a once massively popular beach restaurant with a huge clientele is quite different from playing music, building homes, and owning a condominium complex. Let's hope those tons of friends the musician has will be willing to open up their wallets and actually spend money on food and Presidente beer.

What kind of music, do you know? Thanks, M.

Saddened to hear that news. After Tom passed away in June 2016, I think his son tried to keep Scandinavian Beach Bar going. Apparently that didn't work out, because a guy named Knut then took over:

And now you're saying two new guys have taken over and changed the name to Rehab. I wish them the best of luck, but I don't think they'll be in business long. Although Scandinavian Beach Bar was the far end of Sosua Beach, Tom's personality and cooking (his legendary ribs) kept the customers coming. Changing ownership, the name, and the menu is a sure-fire way to kill off the old clientele.

The recent police crackdown was sparked when a female dominican comedian wrote a scathing article aboutgirls selling sex in broad day light to tourist. I thought she was full of until I witnessed the same thing.

It's true that crime exists and even a tourist so inclined can easily be set up for blackmail. But then he gets what he deserves.

But I just don't see it as an "in your face thing".

By the way the guy who they arrested for this latest crime was not "European"!

This puts a bad look on our lifestyle.

Be careful and check ID don't get caught out there.

I know some 16 year old look 18 and 21 with makeup.

That's no excuse and you guys that's like little kids;.

You get what you deserves when your sick ass get caught.

Mr. Symonds is a poster child for what not to do when it comes to mongering in a foreign country. I mean, banging less-than-legal-age girls? Getting the girls' names tattooed on his skin and having his name tattooed on theirs? Sharing details of his encounters with a "friend," who may have then blabbed to everyone in town? Just not smart behavior, no matter which way you slice it.

Maybe Mr. Symonds and Frankie Fixit can share workout routines if they both end up in the same prison in Puerto Plata.

On the other hand I don't it's Europeans that are getting the local girls pregnant at 13,14, and 15! LOL!

I live there, and I don't see any tourists of any ethnic origin with obviously underaxed girls, unless its a wifed up family thing. I always make sure momma is present when I have the kids over to the pool for a swim!

My last trip I noticed large number of young girls with Europeans. This could give folk justification to shut everything down.

Scandinavia has changed ownership, my friends John and Ken own it now and it is called Rehab. I have not eaten there as they just started serving food a week or two ago and they are still figuring things out.

I have been going to Sosua for over 6 years and everytime I go I have the same enjoyment expressed by the new guy. I enjoy going the clubs viewing the menu and dancing. At 63 I do not get to do this at home but in Sosua it is normal. The freedom I feel is awesome. I will on the grown in 3 weeks wildin out.

Thanks for the report, and welcome to the Sosua Fan Club!

Glad you had a good time, and at the height of the slow season, too!

I'm temporarily back in the great wasteland of my home town on personal business, but I'm missing it terribly!

Hey guys,

I'm back from 8 nights in Sosua. It was my first time mongering outside of the USA It is very beautiful and the dollar really goes a long way there! I stayed at Europa and had no issues. Its far from a 5 star hotel but I have zero complaints for the price. 8 nights there and I had a total of 7 chicas over that time, some I had more than once. I did not go to any of the bars / discos to meet women. I don't drink alcohol and my Spanish is limited, so all of my fun was based on getting right to the point with my hookups. With that being said, my experience is that you can get pretty much anything you want for 1000 to 3000 pesos. I paid the higher end for better looking lower mileage stuff I found on social networking. There was a lot of police presence and I did see them taking girls away, from what I heard they were targeting more Haitians girls. Some of the girls expressed to me that they did not want to be out on the street for this reason. All in all it was a great trip and I will definitely repeat. Great food, local fruits, chicas, sun, beach, some really wonderful people, and a great value.
