From what I read in the forums, the Intercontinental is chica friendly, but you have to pay a fee.

Ford had mentioned that the IC no longer charges a fee:

Does anybody know if this is still true?

Also, does anybody know about getting two chicas into the Intercontinental? I know when I was at the Intercontinental Argentina, I could not.

I was staying at the Intercontinental a week ago. I booked a room for two and had no problems with guests. No $15 fee on the bill.

Most of the time I just walked in without incident. One time very late at night, I was asked by the front desk guy for my room number and he looked in the computer and made a copy of the chica's cedula. That same night, there were a bunch of loud, sad to say fellow New Yorkers, fighting with security over trying to bring in what looked like at least 5 girls (for three guys).

The night manager was handling it very well but refused to let them in. I would not try to bring in two girls, unless you bring them in during the day, one at a time.

Most of these hotels really do try to make you happy and stay out of your business. We should all be mindful of the image these better hotels try to portray. None of them want to be known as a cat houses. I've stayed at the Melia next door to the Intercontinental and managed to get a well dressed girl into my room during the day. I tried with an equally elegant girl the next night and was stopped at the elevator bank like I was a Al Quiada. Real uncomfortable feeling. Just walking into that hotel as a single man they make you feel like crap.

...is a descrption of bars where its easy to pick up girls (mostly semi pros and pros). I met a girl in Plaza Cristo (or whatever the hooker square is called with the statue of Columbus) who was a pretty nice street hooker. She was busy, however, but gave me the name of her sister who worked in a bar somewhere in town. I asked her if she was in the program, and the answer was that all of the girls at the bar were waitresses awaiting customers for sex.

Sadly, since the bar was in a part of town I did not know and it was late, I was nervous about going there. It is near JFK ?Avenida. Apparantly no tourists go to these types of places.

This type of information would be useful, and I urge anyone in the know to help here, as I personally don't like paying the casa for the services of the girl. I see no reason why the casa should benefit from her services to me, especially after they have charged my 300 pesos for a glass of wine!

Can anyone help out?

A dominican colleague in Puerto Rico told me about Montecristo on Lincoln not far away from Kennedy. This is what he has to say about:

Monte Cristo: on Lincoln, Open Bar on Sundays -$500, good on tuesdays(ladies drink for free until 10pm), live music on wed or thurs, busy on fri and sat. A mix of Merengue, Salsa, Regeatton, and they might play some latin rock if it's not too busy. btw if the girls seem to paying an exagerated amount of attention to you, it's probably because they are working.

Cafe Trio: Lincoln and Tiradentes, good on tues (ladies drink free till 10pm), also busy on Fri, and Sat. Again quite a few working girls here.

Routard - as usual you offer a very reasonable, well-thought out opinion. You make some very good points. I feel that I kind of, outgrew Curacao and St Marteen - but everything you mentioned in your post is true.

Smokers Rule - The post your quoting from is from July 2006. I was back at the Intercontinental earlier this year (2007) and they charged me a $15 a night fee. When I complained the General Manager removed it from my bill, because he said "Sir, you stayed with us before and weren't aware of our new policy. However, in the future you will know that we charge a $15 a night fee for a woman in the room - for the convenience of our male guests"

Don't you just love that corporate lingo?

When I said "stop the double-talk its a money maker. How is charging me extra something being done for my convenience??"

They didn't seem to have an answer.

Knew policy, but who knows when you go down maybe they'll have changed it again.

cheers all..........

Perhaps a ridiculous question.

To those of have been to St. Maarten and Santo Domingo. If you had to choose one as a destination. Which would it be?

While I agree with most what has been said by Ford, I would choose no doubt for Saint Maarten. It's by far my favorite island in the Caribbean, but I admit there are a few personal reasons for this.

The chicas in the Dutch West Indies are mainly from Colombia instead of from Dominican Republic. I admit again that it's a very personal opinion and will not develop too much about this, but I prefer by far the Colombianas than the Dominicanas.

But there are two reason anyone will agree about this.

First one is that the brothels in DWI have a complete legal status with similar laws as in the Netherlands. In DR, the casas de citas are not supposed to offer sex on site. Therefor there is a better control over the girls in DWI including weekly medical check.

Second reason is unlike in DR, the chicas in the DWI are on a 3 month contract, far from home and family and without any pimp or boyfriend. A TLN in Saint Maarten is a real TLN, the chicas stay till 11am and won't leave you after a couple of hours in the middle of the night as they need to go back home to take care for their children. On the contrary, the chicas in SXM are grateful to be out of the brothel's hell for a while, be treated like a woman and have again their self estime back. Most have never done that job before in Colombia or elsewhere, they simply try to earn as much money as possible for 3 month far from home. They are homesick and need love. If you are looking for GFE, this is the place to go.

Forest,

I have been at everything from carwash's to Monte Cristo, and it is easy to pick up almost any dominican chick and take her home that night. I have even done it at monte cristo with a chick that didnt speak english, and I barely speak spanish. With dominicans, its just having enough balls to walk over to them and say "hello" or "hola".

Perhaps a ridiculous question.

To those of have been to St. Maarten and Santo Domingo. If you had to choose one as a destination. Which would it be?

St. Marteen is similar to places like Curacao, Aruba & Trinidad in that these islands provide "camps" or "professional" houses where girls primarily from the Dominican Republic and Colombia go and work, while typically on 90 day visas. As such, the girls you will meet in these places are mostly professionals.

These girls have (out of necessity or circumstance) been forced to work "in the business" full-time and they find this type of dynamic, comfortable, safe and often profitable. Unfortunately, as a result - these girls tend to become somewhat indifferent and much less gfe!

Places like St Marteen, Cuaraco and Aruba are best for "mongers" that are either new at this game, are handicapped by their language ability or need a "mainstream" tourist destination to act as a kind of "beard" so they make the trip with their wife or significant other - and leave her back at the resort while they indulge themselves at the "chica houses" alone.

I prefer Santo Domingo. It is a considered by many to be one of the premier "monger" destinations in the western hemisphere - while at the same time- serving as a legitimate International business destination.

Too, it has both "professional" public houses as well as thousands of girls between the age of 18-30 who will make themselves available to foreigner's either for money of for pure passion!

I think in large measure the answer to your question lies in your ability to communicate comfortably in the Spanish language. Without a working ability in Spanish - you may find it difficult to thoroughly enjoy your vacation in St Marteen. However, without a working ability to speak Spanish in Santo Domingo you will [sadly] be totally lost!

If you decide that St Marteen would be the best choice - may I offer an alternate location. You should also consider the island of Curacao. I've been there 5 times!

It is scenic, maintains its European style, is outside the hurricane zone - and has the famous camp - Campo Alegre. A camp that typically houses 175+ women all-year round. Check out the Curacao thread on this site also - it has alot of great information.

cheers,

Things were slow but not dead eventhough there was a down pour. I managed to find the real casa de chica, and had a good night with another prow that I would not repete. Maybe I will have more luck in BC this weekend.

I got in last night early, around three in the afternoon. My local contact took me for a tour of Boca Chica so it was around 5 before we got to the hotel, Mercure on el Conte. it is a nice hotel but for a lack of a pool, but since i have a pool at home I did not stay here for the weather or swimming.

The first night out, I spent a lot of time walking around the old city. it is interesting and the SWers are plentyful. That said I did not strike when I found the one or two of those that I found to my liking. I was getting tired of looking so I got a cab to one of the Girl houses, I asked for THE Casa de Chica but I got something else. I did find a girl to my likeing and returned to the hotel for the treats of the trade.

proformance was sub par, a bit too professional she seemed to be into the DATY but no BBBJ of anykind, however she was very sweet and not at all rushed. I will try again toinght for some semi pro or nonpro and if no luck back to one of the houses of ill report.

Of note: Sitting on the patio of the hotel is a good hunting technique here, let them come to you, and come they will.

Bravo! Routard you did a great job. I believe I was in SDQ at the same time you and I were both staying at the Mercure.

[Routard]

Anyway, I would say that mongering in Santo Domingo is as easy as in Thailand, you don't need really to make the usual homework on ISG to find the "best kept secrets of the city". Any taxi driver will drive you around and give a complete overview of the scene. As soon as you exit the hotels or walk in the streets there are guys trying to escort you to the brothels or to offer you directly chicas. There are hunting chicas everywhere in the streets at night in the touristic areas. As soon as you are single, someone will approach you for that, even if you are not a mongerer. Nobody tries to ripp you off, just get a tip from the brothels or from you.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I have lived for years close to a German FKK and I had not the slightest idea I was just near one of the best brothels in the world...untill I discovered ISG.

[Prtyr2]

OK. Now I get it. Petit Chateau has been closed for years.

Mona lisa is ripar bella but as you said most taxis will know it as mona lisa. Note that if a taxi driver takes you there, they will up the rate and the taxi driver gets a commission. So it is best to walk there and I want to avoid confusion with guys walking down the block looking for mona lisa. The sign says ripar bella.

I went to the penthouse last night to investigate and they are located on Caonabo # 10 4th floor. They have a BBQ with imported meat and a rooftop pool. They had about 8 girls last night but as sunday was mom's day. . . . .many girls may still be in the campo.

I spoke to the owner and he said that there used to be a penthouse on maximo gomez years ago but it has been closed for years and was a gay bar. So be careful if you tell a cab driver that you want to go to penthouse on gomez and they remember the old place they may assume you are interested in similar establishments and take you to another gay bar.

Once again great report!

Don't worry, I appreciate your input. The detailed 4 days story mentions the club I have visited myself (Sky, Girl, Aurora, Lapsus, Tabu, Prada, Azul, Modellos, Teresa). I have not visited the other clubs (Coco, Junior, Petit Chateau, Penthouse, Mansion, Mona Lisa), but they were consistently listed by the taxi drivers. Petit Chateau is a lesser known club, but as far as I remember, at least two taxi drivers told me about. But as you are not crazy (and you live in SD BTW), they might get wrong. Yes, Mona Lisa is now called Hotel Ripa Bella, but most taxi drivers still call it Mona Lisa. Regarding Penthouse, can't confirm myself, I had the street name from another forum, you know this club better than I do. Unfortunately, I can't modify anymore my report. Thanks for the additional info.

[Routard]

Great report but I have a few questions. One you mention le petit chateau, but unless I am crazy they closed down years ago. Penthouse on maximo gomez? I thought I heard there was a new place on gomez but the place we all know as the penthouse is not near gomez it is on caonabo in a 4 story building with rooftop pool.

Also Mona lisa is now called Hotel Ripar Bella in case anyone goes looking for it. Once again great report and please do not take this post as any sort of criticism, just trying to see if we can get the info right for future visitors.
