Posts: 3103It was no problem using van
The vans are airconditoned and about 6 years old. The guys who drive are happy to accept everyones money. Airport employess and smart people use it. I have ridden 7 or 8 times with consistent good results. The Van has a final drop off near China town in SD. There are about or four stop during the ride to SD with riders stepping of. While if you have no spanish this could be an issue. However I have never had any problems using the vans, On my last trip I met a Venizulan new arrival fresh in the country. I gave her 20 US and wished her well. She was on her way to Bavaro looking for work at a resort.

After 9 pm when going from El Conde to Boca Chica the Uber fare goes up to 800 pesos from 550 pesos earlier in the day, so the later it gets the more they charge.
Here is the fucked up part: When going from Boca Chica to Sd after 11 pm, there are no Ubers and it will show a Uber coming but they never arrive. I was able to get a taxi for 1200 pesos when all the other taxis were asking 1500 pesos and up. I'm thinking those Uber drivers log in but maybe log out to give airport passengers preference or they just don't want to come to Boca Chica late at night.
Now check this. A taxi from Boca Chica to SD costs about 1500 pesos late night but a taxi from Boca Chica to juan Dolio late night costs 2000 pesos and Juan Dolio is only 15 minutes from Bc whereas SD is about 40 minutes.

Posts: 4026Where does the van drop you off, Caribe Tours? I guess it could be worth it if you are on a tight budget.

Posts: 173AirBnB
It depends on the type of AirBnB, and what type of vacation you have planned. Remember, these are mainly apartments with security or someone in the lobby 24/7. You can get around that if you are driving, and the location has a parking garage with an elevator that goes to your floor. Another thing you have to keep in mind is that the apartments have neighbors, normally families, that didn't sign up for tourists partying and running hookers in an out at all times of the night. I have used them for the past couple of years, and I haven't had a problem, BUT I'm not running a bunch of hoes in there either. I use cabanas for that. I bring my main chica in with no problems. I'm not saying that you are going to be doing any of these things, but if you want to bring a bunch of hookers into your room, then a hotel is probably the best option.

Posts: 13Are AirBNB's guest friendly in Santo Domingo?
Wondering if anyone has tried bringing ladies up to AirBNBs in Santo Domingo. Looked around the forum and surprisingly didn't find any mention of this.
Last time I was in Santo Domingo I stayed at the Hotel Casona Dorada. It was completely guest friendly, but I still hate the eyes on me when bringing a girl through the lobby area. Plus the AirBNBs are often nicer and half the price of a hotel (at least that's very often the case in Colombia).

The price is 55 sometimes on hotwire 44 dollars. The van is private any body can get on. You have to act like you know. The van is on the back of drop off area.

Posts: 4026On the whole you will find much less of that than in Brazil and Colombia. The recent increase in Venezuelans is making it more common but you don't see nearly as much of it.

Posts: 62Fake boobs and butts.
Many girls in Colombia and Brazil have silicon implants and that really turns me off because I prefer natural bodies. What's the situation like in DR? Do girls also have fake boobs and butts?

Posts: 3103TAU CASA Conde
It is the old Casa Conde. The front desk is up stairs now so they may not be checking as they were earlier. The rooms were serviced every day and breakfast is included. Checkin is at 3 pm and they stick to pretty strictly.
