Santo Domingo

[Helpmann]

Usually I do as I am no rookie believe me, but I was very tired and distracted by my chica and as I said before my experience has been that I never have pricing problems when I have a local hanging on my arm but I guess I have been lucky...

Airport taxi drivers, pimps, and hookers are the biggest hustlers in the developing world. Whether I am in DR, Cuba, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil, or New York. I do my best to plan out my ground transportation arrivals and departures. I do this not just because of cost, but because of safety. I have read enough Brazil/Colombia taxi cab secuestro stories to know better.

Yes, the taxi stand set-up at the international airport in Bogota is 100x better than the set-up at SDQ. Nevertheless, when I am in the DR, I never feel the need to phone a friend with the cabbie's particulars (registration#, name, destination, license#) before taking a ride.

BTW: In an earlier post (below), I single out taxi drivers and hookers as the biggest hustlers in the Dominican Republic.

Road$3, 500?! That's 3x the rate to Santo Domingo! Did you negotiate a rate before you jumped in the cab?

He got 30 bucks out of me and a tongue lashing from hell, I wanted to do something worse but I know better than that.

3, 500 pesos? Wow! They are like the India guys that owns the tax free duty free electronic stores in St. Marteen: they have different price for the same product depending from where you come. Never pay more than 1, 000 pesos from airport to the city, which by the way I believe is an inflated rate and never pay more than 200 pesos for an intracity transfer, 150 is acceptable for most places.

I had no problems on my recent travel with a small exception that I solved later. I always give the taxi guys specif directions: "take me to Plaza Fernandez II which is a minute north of Acropolis mall on X Ave. " take me to Villas Agricolas which is north of the National Cemetery going by Maximo Gomez Ave. " To study the city map is an exercise everyone should do before traveling. It is less probable to get ripped-off if yo show you are not a rookie.

I was watching the Urban Sex program on Cinemax that was filmed in Santo Domingo a few minutes ago, I want to be in the city right now.

Very good advise Boriqua.

Yeah, like I said I called the guy every spanish swear word in the book and then gave him $30. That as**ole had NO chance of getting $3500 pesos out of me. For another 1000 pesos I could get a taxi all the way to Bavaro where I am now, we took the Bavaro Express bus as recommended and it took about 4 hours due to traffic but the bus was comfortable except for the preacher they let on board who stood and gave a solid 45 minute serman and then collected a few pesos, overall a decent bus ride, bus fare was 600 pesos for two people, dirt cheap. We head back to SDQ tomorrow.

I generally have no problems with the chicas in the DR. It is the rest of the people here I have a problem with. The taxi driver that took me and my lady friend from the SDQ airport to the Jaragua told me the fare was 3500 pesos! I verbally abused that motherf__r for ten minutes in front of the Jaragua and threw $30usd at him and told him to get fucking lost, that's the kind of thing I am talking about...

i agree with giving small gifts to the chicas, they appreciate the thought. i brought with me a doll i bought in walmart for $10. usd and some chocolates for the daughter and mother of the girl that is here in bavaro with me, she was in tears because i had thought of her little girl.

i have been pissed off in this country many times and vowed never to return. it is now tuesday morning 11am, my last post i submitted about 4 hours ago. while i was writing that post i missed three calls from a chica i know who works in a casino, i called her around 7:30am and she was already home, but she got in a taxi and took the 40 minute ride to visit me, she paid her own taxi. her nipples are small but hard like the tip of your pinky finger. she was the biggest pussy lips i have ever seen. cute face, skinny chica. she is sleeping now in my bedroom. i will leave her here and drive to visit my serious gf who has been waiting for two days to see me and go to the beach.

sorry that manizales had a bad time in dr. one day i will visit colombia, but i just really have a good sometimes here in dominican republic, sometimes i get pissed, but overall, the chicas i have met here have rocked my boat. one thing that is great about this country is that the chicas come in different shapes, sizes and color. it is almost like being in an ice cream shop, trying to choose what flavor you want today. like other mongers on this board, i give the chicas a small gift, perfume that i buy for 15 or 20 dollars, or a 20 dollar mp3 player. some chicas are thieves and idiots, but many are just great girls (some of whom really enjoy sex).

i am already planning how i can get away from my gf for a few hours to visit another chica who i met who lives in zona oriental. for me here it is like heaven. if i lived here full time, i can't imagine how it would b. i am sure colombia is like that for you, many, very sexy, attractive chicas in colombia that you can choose from on a daily basis.

I drove around zona oriental monday night. I visited the mansion, it is behind lucerne supermarket which is on carretera mella. I was told the street name is lucerne. View the photos to see the house number and what the outside entrance looks like. Rooms on site. I was told 3000 pesos, it is open 24/7. Big inside, nice house.

I searched for the fontery or frontery club, I asked at least 20 different guys in zona oriental. I was told by several that there is a good casa de citas, chica house in zona oriental but I couldn't find it.

Some big ass waitresses in very skimpy bottoms in eagle sports bar, service there sucks. 4 clients in eagle sports when I visited monday night around 10pm, at least 5 waitresses. I sat at a table, they saw me, not one waitress came over to take my order. 4 waitresses were sitting on a wall chatting amongst themselves, I left after waiting a fair amount of time for a waitress. I guess the waitresses are there only for eye candy.

Drove by la barrica on avenida venezuela, a little before 1am, lots of people outside. One or two blocks down on ave. venezuala is house drink bar and across from house drink is cool bar, they were closed.

Some 23 year I met online visited me sunday morning. We chatted, she has nice thick lips. She stayed in the apartment for a few hours, no sex, she cleaned the dishes and prepared a papaya (lechosa) milk shake. Sunday night she revisited the apartment around 11pm, dressed in an open blouse, lots of cleavage and a short mini skirt. She told me parts of her life story. She told she me wanted a blonde haired girlfriend, then she said she wanted to go to Cha, which is a gay night club on the malecon past the hilton. I said sure, I told her maybe she can find a girlfriend there, then she said she was only joking about looking for a girlfriend. I had on a button down short sleeve shirt, black dockers pants, a pair of black keen newport sandals, the bars close at 1am and it was around 12am when we left the apartment so I was not getting dressed up to go to a gay bar. In the car, she showed me a picture of her Dominican girlfriend, a girl that I know from online, who I don't like.

Cha charges around 200 pesos to enter with a free drink. The place may have been a small theater before, because it has a stage. Some tranvestites, other guys dressed in white, a few cute chicas. There was a brief show with some transvestite singing, then they played music. Dominican gay guys grinding each other. The whole time I was with the chica she was friendly but not in a sexual way. We left Cha around 1am Sunday night, my car was parked on the Malecon, a taxi pulls up close to my car and 4 chicas get out, one of the chicas was really fine.

I drove over to Mint in the hotel napolitano, entrance is on a side street, they let me in even though I was wearing sandals. Nice new place, good a/c, clean, lots of space. Presidente cerveza was 140 or 150 pesos which is cheaper than coppa. Good music, mostly electronic, trance which I like. Danced with the chica, stayed there for three hours, some other chicas were there alone. Left Mint around 4am and went to coppa (this was Sunday night, which became Monday morning). Not many people around coppa 4am, they would not allow me enter to coppa because I was wearing 90 dollar black sandals on a Monday morning at 4am, when they had very few people in the place (I had visited coppa just about every night on this trip and dropped some coin in that place on drinks), I doubt I'll enter coppa again, when it is packed it is too hot, they let people in with grungy t shirts and they wouldn't allow me in because I had sandals which are mostly closed.

Went to the apartment, the chica said she wanted to go swimming nude in the pool, I put on a pair of shorts and she went in wearing her bra and panties, afterwards went into the steamroom. In the apartment excellent sex. Another session this morning when we woke up. Drove her home around 1pm, I gave her 1000 pesos and she gave it back to me. Tonight she wants to go to another discoteca with her sexy friend, could be a threesome afterwards, but I have other plans for tonight.

I am writing this Tuesday morning at 7am, haven't slept. At 4am this morning I picked up some chica on the malecon for 1200 and went to a cabana, what a waste, her name is lesly, cute face, she was wearing a medical support belt under her black dress, to suck in her gut. She got naked and then demanded money in advance, I said forget it, I gave her some money and drove her back to the isla gas station near the malecon. When she got in my car the first time she asked me if I wanted cocaine, I said no, then she asked if she could she get some cocaine, I said no. She was a waste of time and money.

As a follow up to Boricua online's trip report, I took some photos of the places he mentioned.

Hey Guys,

need hotels/apartment suggestions for Santo Domingo. I prefer to be close to the action for mongering. Prefer to walk around the area if possible. Any advice is appreciated. Not much in the way of current posts with prices and locations. Thanks in advance.

Checkout the Santo Domingo Mongering map http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...postcount=1834
great deal of info. I stayed at Duke of wellington and found it to be a good spot. Get a room in the first floor if you can. Jaguar sounds good too but I was not aware of it when I was there. I dont think you can book either online, so you can go there and check them out for yourself. Get a room for one night at either place and see how it goes.

First I want to thank JauSousa for his responses to my questions leading up to my virgin trip to Santo Domingo. Also I would like to thank Boriquaonline for a most helpful map of Santo Domingo, muchas grasias.

This was my first trip to SDQ but certainly not my first trip to the DR. I have enjoyed quite a few trips to BB's, FOD, and Sosua over the last few years so I decided it was time to venture out to other areas. To the many guys like myself who've never gotten away from the PP/Sosua area, SDQ is loaded with available P4P action, loaded. I highly recommend to any monger who frequents the DR that has never been to SDQ to check it out, you won't be sorry.

As someone who travels to South America from the east coast USA on an almost monthly basis I am used to shit happening, I fully realize that when you travel as often as I do not every trip is going to be smooth sailing especially when traveling to the places we all go to for mongering but it is one thing for things to go wrong and it is another when people who get paid(albeit paid poorly) to help you out and they just don't give a fuck. This is why I will probably never, ever set foot in the DR again. The infrastructure in these third world countries is poor to say the least and that makes it very difficult for hotels and such to help a guy out when he has a problem but the difference between the country I travel to the most, Colombia, and the DR is for the most part a Colombian will go to his grave trying to help you even if he or she can't help you. In the DR they try to figure out how NOT to help you. I know this is a generalization and there are exceptions to every rule but I have made plenty of trips to both countries to make this observation. By all means I am not trying to suggest anyone change their outlook on the DR, I am just giving my own opinion and welcome the criticism that the stalwart DR mongers will rain on me, to each his own. Please though, to those mongers who've never been to South America and specifically Colombia, do yourself a favor and check it out because you don't know what you are missing, the girls are WAY hotter and the people are WAY, WAY nicer.

Well, now that I got that off my chest I am off to Bavaro for a few days and then on to my little paradise, Manizales Colombia.

My favorite is still Hotel Jaguar. Owner Rafael is very knowledgable. Staff is always helpful. Rooms are comfortable and reasonably priced. About 2 blocks to the Jaragua casino or Melia casino/Coppa Disco or Lapsus? 10 minute walk to Girl's House or Sky Bar or La Parada. Street hookers are all along Independencia late at night. Lots of little colmados and restaurants in the neighborhood.

Noticed quite a few more SW Saturday night on Avenida Independencia. Small groups of chicas from 2 to 6 in a group can be found on just about every block on Independencia from Jaragua Hotel all the way to Parque Independencia. Walk on the south side of Independencia to check out the chicas or walk on the north side to pretty much avoid them.

Bon Helado (ice cream store) has opened up on Independencia across from Villar Hermanos restaurante.

In front of Navarro Restaurant and Duque de Wellington Hotel is a small stand which makes some very good sandwiches at night.

A few other members are in town now but I can't seem to catch up with them.

One more wise thing to do is pack a couple of 100 watt incandescent light bulbs in your suitcase. It can make life so much easier.
