Santo Domingo

[Round the World]

Hey Prtyr
My experience at Girls House is that 2hr at your hotel is 2500 RD pesos and TLN is 5000 (~$170 USD).

I've had 4 TLN from there. Of those, 3 stayed until around 8 or 9am. The last one however, got drunk and annoying and said TLN was only like 4 hrs. I threw her ass out of my hotel without consummating the deal. The other 3 times were no problem.

Perhaps the rules have changed, next time I would confirm with the barmen how long TLN really should be.

Another trick is that TLN starts whenever you get there. So if you get there at 5pm you have her till 8 or 9am, considerably lowering her per hour cost.

Cheers
RtW

.. I'm going solo, and I'm determined to have a good time....
What's today's cab fare from the airport to the Mercure hotel?......

I briefly checked out a spot called Cisne...........

traveling alone, safely get from SD to BBs?...........From reading, I gather that a TLN experience in SD is not always a certainty, even when its promised.

Of course, you may expect a report following my trip. Many thanks in advance.

Go solo is no problem, I do it all the time. The taxi cost from SDQ to Hotel Mercure is $40 USD, gas prices must have gone up.

Hotel Mercure is a great choice for a first time visit.

Cisne, like mentioned before is The Doll House on Calle Pastuer. A little bit over my budget but some nice chicas. I save my bucks and go to Aurora, chicas are 7, maybe 8, needless to say I am smiling when she leaves.

SD to BBs? Is that Santo Domingo to BlackBeards in Costambar(sp)? No way you can do a day trip.

Please be sure to post up a trip report. Your ups and downs will help other members.

Enjoy.............

I have some good connections in SD. If you're looking for TLN, PM me and I'll try to hook you up.

Most of your other questions were answered. Alan is a very cool guy and yes cisne is closed. It is now the location for girls house. Lots of hot chicas but I am not crazy about their attitudes etc.

TLN is harder to come by these days. Most places like girls house call 2 hours toda la noche. . . . .some of the more off the beaten path places do TLN for real but they don't have the hottest girls etc.

I have better luck with semi pros and non pros as they usually are atleast into you and more likely to want to spend more time.

Gentlemen,

This Feb, I'll be heading to SD for a long weekend. Although this won't be my first visit, I consider myself a newbie in the SD night scene as I was traveling with 'civilians' the previous times. And its been a long minute since then. This Feb, I'm going solo, and I'm determined to have a good time. To maximize the experience, could someone shed some light on a few questions?

What's today's cab fare from the airport to the Mercure hotel? I vaguely remember standing firm at $20 usd two years ago, but something tells me that I'll have to pay a little more these days. How much is reasonable?

During my first trip, I briefly checked out a spot called Cisne (not sure of the spelling) and I met a stand up dude named (Alan maybe? ) who ran it. From recent reading, I gather that Cisne is now closed. Does anyone know if he has re-opened a spot somewhere else? I'd like to stop by, say 'whaddup', and drop a few pesos.

How does one, traveling alone, safely get from SD to BBs?

From reading, I gather that a TLN experience in SD is not always a certainty, even when its promised. Where would I go to be reasonably sure that I'll find a TLN experience?

Of course, you may expect a report following my trip. Many thanks in advance.

This is something i have done plenty of times.From sdq airport to Mercure is 35 dollars.When going to B.B. in Puerto plata take Metro tous bus,it only stops at Santiago then Puerto Plata.Caribe makes many more stops.Metro time to pp is almost 3.5 hours.Price from Mercure to metro is 200 to 300 pesos.my girl negotiated the 200 for me.Price Metro is 290 pesos they leave 11 and 4 great scenery by the way.

[Frannie]

The cabfare from the airport to the Mercure hotel should be round about 35 bucks (that`s what i paid the last time in march)
Concerning your way from Santo Domingo to BBs i suggest you take the bus to puerto plata and then you call their driver to pick you up from the bus station in Puerto Plata.
The bus company i am talking about is caribetours. www.caribetours.com.do
The price from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata should be between 200-300 pesos (between 6-8 bucks) and it will take you round about 3,5 - 4 hours to get there.
Their webpage contains information concerning the depature times....

Agreed. The buses depart every hour on the hour.

What if the person I am trying to contact isnt a paying member? This rule is counterproductive to cooperative mongering. Boooo!

I will be in the DR those dates. I plan on hitting The Capital, Boca Chica, and then head up north to puerto plata/sosua. I'm not really tied down to anything except when I'm in POP. So I''l go where the wind takes me. I'm in my mid 30's and 100% fluent in spanish. This will be my 11th trip to D. R since September 2003. So I have a few contacts wth chicas and things like that.

Well, I've mongered both alone and with a buddy, and its ALWAYs better with a buddy for sure. So if anyone will be around that time, and loves to have fun. Let me know. Would love to have a wingman. If not, I'll have a BLAST anyways!

It must have been around trip cost.

Wow $60 for a ride to BC! That's more than double than anybody should pay.

Peter probably overpaid a little. The most recent rate for airport taxis is $30 to Boca Chica an $40 to Santo Domingo one way.

If the driver did indeed stop at the aquarium, hang out in BC, and give Peter a ride back to his hotel the rate is probably fair, maybe a few bucks high. For a newbie you really don't have much choice. I know a guagua would be the cheapest route but I would not suggest this for someone who has never been to BC.

If Peter had of negotiated a one way taxi ride, SD to BC, the best price he would have been quoted would be $25 USD. Once in BC you are limited to available taxis. More than likely he might have been stuck with a taxi from the taxi stand for the return trip. BC taxi stand price must be at least $30. So maybe he didn't do too bad.

On November 14, 2007 took off on a Continental Air Line from Newark Int’l Airport at 7:00am and landed on Santo Domingo Airport at 12:30pm. Before the immigration I had to purchase short term VISA for US $10.00. I only had a carry on baggage and did not have to go through the custom. At the outside of the airport, there were number of taxis available waiting on line. I wanted to shop around for the cheapest fare but the taxi guide showed me the printed price list and the fare to Santo Domingo downtown was $40.00. I did not want to argue and waist time so I agreed to paid them what they were asking for.

I arrived Jaragua Hotel and checked in and unpacked and relaxed for awhile and went out to see the street. About 2pm I walked up near Girl House on Pasteur Street where I was surrounded by the shoe shine boys offering to shine my shoes. I didn’t want to shine my shoes so I gave the boys 20 pesos (65 cents) not to bother me more. Then a taxi driver (Pedro) approached me and told me to get in the Girl House. I went in ordered Cuba Libre and saw about 5 girls in the bar. I was only client at the time and two girls approached me and danced in front of me with a smile. One was dark skinned and while other one was brown with pretty face and attractive body. She said she was twenty three years old I would give her 7. I asked for the price and it was firm price of 2500 pesos. I didn’t argue for the price and took the girl to Mystic Hotel which was next door. I paid $50.00 for the full day thinking that I may want to return later. She took a quick shower and we had good missionary fuck in the bed. She kept asking for propina (tip) but I refused.

I came back to Jaragua and took a nap. I ate at the hotel restaurant and went to the Lapsus to check out for action. There were lots girls in the bar and only few clients. As I sat down I was immediately surrounded by swarm of girls trying to win my attention. I ignore all of them so eventually all went way except the one blondish girl refused to go away. I admired for her persistence so I offered her drink and she ordered Presidente. I ordered Cuba Libre. I asked her for the price and it was 2500 pesos. Her name was Marlene, twenty year old and was very attractive. I took her to Mystic Hotel and we had very passionate fuck. Marlene didn’t ask for any propina and I thought that was very clean and professional. After that we went to Jaragua and played Black Jack for a while and she went back to Lapsus. I came back to my rook and crashed for the night.

Next morning I took a taxi and went to see the Old Colonial for sight seeing. There were many gifts shops on the street and many tourists. I was approached by a guy named George who spoke very good English claiming that he was the hardest working guy in the street. He used to live in Bronx for two years before. He said that there was a great gift shop that I must see. I didn’t had any plan so I went with him to the store and bought the paint. I asked George that I want to see the Boca Chica and stop by the Aquarium on the way. One of his fried offered to give a ride for $60.00 and I agreed. We went to Boca Chica and drank Presidente on the beach bar. There were lots of older males on the beach but in overall it was very quiet and not many good looking chicas. It was disappointing and I would not go back there. George wanted to show me the places where I would find chicas and I promised to call him later in the evening.

I came back to Jaragua and went to a pool for a swim and relaxation and drank Presidente. Took a shower and ate at the hotel restaurant. I met George later in the evening and he took me to a place called Mansion where I was surrounded by seven girls who were all dark skinned. The asking price was 3500 pesos but negotiated down to 3000. Had sex in the enormous room with jacuzzi but the sexual performance wasn’t any special. For the price sex was disappointing. George dropped me off to Jaragua and I went to see the Lapsus again for the action. There was a Taboo next door but only had handful of chicas so I didn’t bother to get in. It was about midnight and there was a floor show where team of girls were performing mini theatrical dances. As I went in I was surrounded by number of girls but I was interested only on Marlene. The bar was packed with more clients at that hour. Marlene was part of dance team for that night performing and would not be available until the show finished. The price to take her out was again 2500 pesos. I tried to take her to Jaragua but the desk clerk refused to let her in even I offered to pay extra. The taxi took us 15 miles away to a motel called Cabana where there was huge wall television with porno movies. Marlene ordered for food and it arrived about 10 minutes later. Marlene took a quick shower and we had very passionate fuck in the bed. She was very young with a firm body and full of energy refusing to stop fucking. The hotel price was 1200 pesos including the meal. I came back to Jaragua Hotel about 6am took a quick nap before taking shower and going to the airport. Overall, it was very good experience and I look forward to coming back. Viva Santo Domingo!
