Fellow mongers,

I'm glad to see you guys are having fun, but you are paying way to much for these chicas! Point in fact: there is a "house" around the corner from the hotel casino melia on the malecon, its on the side street and fronts as a bar; there are 15 to 30 chicas all the time, and more than 1/2 of them are 7 to 8's, no kidding. They can be had for $65. Oo including 2 hours in a very decent hotel about 2 blocks away the the bar apparently owns, including transportation, if you are lucky one of the owners takes you in his diesel bmw (nice ride! ) anyway, I am hearing about you guys being asked $! 50 for a chica in dr. Please remember the average wage for a nicely dressed girl who works here ass off 10 hours a day in a casino makes $145 every two weeks! Please kindly decline these overpriced girls, and keep the prices reasonable. $50 will get you a great looking college girl in sd if you look around. I'm in Juan Dolio 20 minutes east. Nov 3rd to 11th if anyone wants a beer and to meet some great non pros.

I arrived October 22 via AA,...........

Wow, that was some lenghty report but far from being boring.

Yatna is a little more shaped like sensual politta. Yatna appears tall and thin like sensual.

The El Caucho you mentioned is that in Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. About three years ago El Caucho in Boca Chica was the best place to stay with a few on site chicas. At the time it was managed by a guy from the UK called Abbey. I wonder if they are back and business as usual.

Thanks for posting up the hours for Australia's. I thought they closed earlier. With the late hours it is a good option. I would not drive but get a taxi and have him wait. The rates you quoted at Australia's are the rates unless you are a regular. I only went once and was charged the same but the chica was worth it. She was a GFE and aimed to please.

You and Jaososua sure do make your rounds of the DR. I know it is a great plus to speak the lingo.

Is the safe at Riazor large enough to hold a laptop and is WiFi available in the rooms? For me that is a big plus and why I prefer Jaguar. Jaguar is very chica, chica, chica friendly.

The street chicas near the Hilton are they mostly on the Malecon or Independencia.

Go to post #1752. Is this the chica who was hanging outside Aurora on Independencia. Aurora only has a handful of chicas who work there.

I arrived October 22 via AA, $199 round trip from San Juan of which $101 are taxes, mostly Dominican taxes. The flight arrived 30 minute earlier than scheduled which pleasantly surprised me a lot. I paid the $10 tourist card and my phone rang, it was Apollo taxi guy who was on his way to the airport. I called him from Puerto Rico 30 minutes before leaving and he picked me up as agreed by phone. Before pick up I had enough time to buy a phone card at airport pharmacy on second level, there is a vending machine where you can charge any phone, Claro, Viva, Orange, etc. with the desired amount. Drugstore also sells Cialis, Viagra, La Pela etc. Then I walked down to the exit where the taxi guys are. If you go out and walk to the right there is a bank where you can exchange dollars, the change was 35.45 at that time which was far better than the 32.25 exchange casa inside the airport was changing for every dollar. I exchanged a petty for initial expenses, taxi arrived and I left. We stopped at Texaco and bought my first ice cold large Presidente light for 75 pesos. They have a large convenience store where you can buy drinks, groceries, etc. and a Pollos Victorina restaurant, a KFC like Dominican fast food.

We arrived to hotel Riazor, $58 with breakfast. The room was nice, carpeted floor, cold a/c, clean and large bathroom, closet, safe, cable TV and a queen bed. Balcony rooms which were unavailable at the time I checked in cost $2 more. Breakfast was poor, your choice of one kind of coffee, one glass of juice, and fruits or eggs. I used the ticket for my free coffee and juice and ordered toasts and ham or cheese from the regular menu. Breakfast is served at Manolos, a nice 24hr. restaurant next to Riazor also owned by the Riazor people. You can have room service from Manolos to Riazor 24/7. Riazor has a minibar on room, most items cost from $1 to $2 dollars so items are reasonably priced.

Apollo Taxi guy waited for me while I checked in, then we went to Villas Agricolas to visit Australia. It took us 20 minutes to arrive, the traffic was heavy. Australia’s place name is Casa Familia or Family House. It opens from 3 pm to midnight on weekdays and to 2 am on weekends. Australia attends visitors until 10 pm, then somebody else is in charge until is closed. Australia introduces me 4 girls of which only 2 were ready to go. There was a cute Dominican with an oriental look, la chinita, who has a hot body but I ended choosing Ginnette, a cute tall girl. She looks similar to Mundo Anuncio famous sensual pollita but with bigger breasts. Australia asked 500 pesos for her and 1500 for the chica for 2 hours. I have read on previous posts that it was 500 and 1000 but I said ok, I do not have to pay in advance anyway and Austalia told me to call if anything is wrong. If she is no good then I pay her less. We leave after 10 minute. The girl was so silent was not looking at me so I had that bad vibe that the girl was going to be a pain in the … . Then she began to laugh. And again. Every funny thing she sees she laughs about it. Then I began to make comments about the things that make she laugh so then she began to laughs out loud.

We arrived to the hotel and here comes the first problem: the girl has no cedula. The lobby guy told me that in some cases they will let the girl in without cedula but that at least she has to provide a number to check in a computer webpage that has the cedula master file. So we went to hotel Navarro, next to Duque de Wellington and said hi to my Cuban lady friend who was attending the bar. I asked for a “de paso” room , which is a short term rental, 800 pesos. Ordered a Coke (50 pesos) for the girl and a beer for me (100 pesos). I went out to pay 1300 pesos to the taxi, 1000 for airport pick up and 300 for a round trip to-from Villas Agricolas with 3 waiting times, not bad. It was about 4 pm and a girl was waiting for me at UASD University at 6 pm so 2 hours was going to be ok for me. The girl turned in the TV and after 2 minutes she turned it out. “Australia does not want us to watch TV” the girl said. We talked for a while, she told me she Australia is her aunt and that she is from San Jose de las Matas, not far away from Santiago. She was going to be there only 2 weeks she said. She told me that about 20 girls work at Australia. And that her real age is 18, but she was recognized 10 months later after birth. It is very common in DR; some MLB players have been accused of being older that their birth certificates said. Be sure that your girl has a cedula or sometimes it will cost you more. The girl goes naked, she has a nice body, and we kissed a lot and did almost everything without a condom. She wanted to have sex without condom; it was tempting but extremely risky. At a moment she was going to cry. She told me that she has never been treated so nice and gave me a big hug and a passionate kiss. Man, this is real GFE. I was so involved with this chica that when I turned in my cell phone I noticed it was 8:30 pm and had like 6 missed calls from UASD chica. We went out of the room, no additional charge for the extra time and took a taxi back to Australia. Traffic at 9:00 was still heavy, we arrived to Casa Familia, and there were more girls, a few clients including a guy with a tuxedo, apparently a high class client and people on the streets. The area looks safe to me.

I came back to my hotel and paid 200 pesos for the round trip. Called UASD chica but she was at home with her kids, say sorry to her, my flight was delayed blah blah. Then went to Manolos to eat. Manolos side dishes serves to hungry guys or 3 girls and I committed the mistake of ordering rice, tostones and avocado salad as sides to boneless fried chicken. They served me garlic bread, a dozen tostones, a dozen slices of avocado and a large service of rice. At 10 pm and without having lunch I can barely eat half of my meal. This place is good to eat with somebody and share dishes and save. Open 24 hours but they do not serve alcohol late night, but you can go to nearby Aurora for beers anytime. Later I went to Jaragua casino, I saw the girl with the nice breasts that told me on May that she was from Colombia, on July she was from Greece and this time she is from Brazil. This girl loves to gamble, she is always inside the casino. She charges 100 dollars to Jaragua guest for sex, $60 if you are from outside. I believe she pays a cut to security to get inside the rooms, at least that was she said. Then I went to Melia to visit Coppa but the disco was reserved for a private activity so I walked back to Jaragua and then to Independencia to take a look at the street scene. Girls said hi or papi etc. but were not aggressive. The sidewalk from Jaragua to hotel Navarro is well lit and safe. A girl that was in the corner to Independencia and Pasteur near Villar Hermanos caught my attention. She is tall, pretty, sexy, was wearing shorts and a bra, full c cup, curly blonde hair, no tattoo. I talked with her for a little and agreed on 1000 pesos one hour. We walked to Riazor, she took a jacket from her purse to wear it at hotel lobby, show her cedula and we go up. This girl was by far the best looking one of Independencia strip. We did almost everything French kiss, blowjob was covered etc. but it was nice, we ended doggie style and the girl was screaming which I like a lot. We ended after 40 minutes, she stayed with me hugging and watching music videos for half an hour, she wanted to stay more for additional $$$ but I was tired so I said no, she asked for a candy and took one from minibar, cost $1 with MasterCard. She told me:” do you want some chocolate?” To eat a little Snickers chocolate cover from her left nipple: priceless. That ended my first day; I have to rest a little only slept 3 hours the day before.

Next day I woke up early, ate my breakfast and went to Mega Centro, Santo Domingo largest mall in zona oriental. A good place to meet locals and no pros. The place is large with over 270 stores, a mix of local and American stores. I wanted to go to Bulldog billiard place but did not find it. I took advantage of the situation to ask a cute chica about the place. “The place is on the food court area, but it opens late” she said. Ah, too bad I told her. “I am with my mother right now but I know a few places we can hang later if you want” she added. We exchanged numbers and a promise to meet her later. Mmm this sounds good. I decided to take a taxi and to go to Eagle for lunch. At the time I arrived there were only 4 chicas and 2 clients. Beers cost 100 pesos and meal prices are moderate. The taxi guy who picked me up at airport told me that girls there are hot and that you can pay the girls to go with you after they leave their work. How much? I do not know but girls are hot. I took a taxi back to my hotel, 170 pesos from Eagle. Then I realized something. Eagle is 2/3 the distance from city to airport, on a route with heavy traffic and it cost less than 20% of cheapest airport transfer to go there. So even the cheap $28 airport transfer is overpriced. It should cost 400-500 pesos from airport to city, based on intra city transfer costs. All taxis I took were working on propane gas so they save money on fuel.

I walked down Independencia Avenue to Colonial zone, visited Pacos for a beer, walked to Frank for money exchange, which fluctuated from 36 to 36.15 during my stay. Another beer on Conde de Penalba and then went to Cathedral plaza to observe a painting exhibition. Then a friend from O&M University called me and five minutes later we were drinking Presidente lights with her other lady friend, another cute O&M student. We were drinking for a few hours, said goodbye and then back to my hotel after 9 pm. Then Ginnette from Australia called me, she said to be together again and I said ok. She asked to pick her but I told her I was tired of taxis, that if she can go to my hotel. She said Australia wants her girls been picked up and returned by the guy for her safety but I told her I do not want to go there. Australia hired her personal taxi to take her to me. He arrived to me with Ginnette and I decided to go to the malecon cabanas which I used to visit a few years ago. We arrived to Princessa cabanas and I committed the mistake to trust Australia taxi guy and to pay for the round trip in advance. We entered the room by midnight paid 700 pesos for the room, a beer and a bottle of 7up. The room was nice with marble floors, large screen TV, music, mirrors everywhere, the usual. Condoms, Lemisol (pussy cleanser), shower cap, tooth paste, tooth brush and a comb were included. We spent over four hours of nice GFE, similar to first time. After 4:30 am she called Australia taxi guy and his wife answered telling her that he was sleeping. I called Apolo and went back to Riazor and took the girl to Australia, total trip cost was 400 pesos for a large distance, similar to airport-city transfer. At 5 am I was hungry so I ordered a burger with fries at Manolos. There still were a few street girls; they disappeared when the first public cars began to work at that time.

Now it is Saturday and woke up at 10 am. I was undecided of to stay at Riazor, I paid for 2 days, to move to another nearby hotel or to go to Santiago. I made some calls from a list of 20 girls including the girl I met at Mega Centro. Nobody was answering. “The Orange number you have dialed cannot be reached” This is the Claro mailbox of…” were the only answers. Then I called a Santiago chica I met on July, Yatna, and she answered. She told me ok that she can see me but that she now is working at El Caucho in Juan Dolio and that I have to pay a salida. She told me she can be in Santo Domingo by 1 pm and I told her ok. Then I decided to stay at Navarro. Navarro charges 1500 pesos per day for a small room with a/c, cable, bathroom and a double bed. The room has a minibar and a small safe. They have a very liberal guest policy, you can bring a girl or two or three, a horse, an elephant, anything you wanted, no id requested. Compared to Jaguar and Riazor rooms, Riazor ranks 1 , Jaguar 2 and Navarro 3 because of its smaller rooms and smaller beds. Navarro rooms can compare to Jaguar smaller rooms. They also have 2 bed rooms which are larger and cost more. Navarro has two levels, the second has rooms and the first has the small lobby, the bar, an internet pc the short term rooms and is also the house of Foxys strippers. Foxys is owned by a Cuban which also owns Navarro; his brother is the owner of Girls House and Mystik hotel. Girls house chicas live on a house in Gazcue, on Osvaldo Baez or Danae st. They are in front of the house after Girls House closing time and are available for takeout. That information was provided to me by the hot Cuban girl that serves on Navarro bar and sometimes works at Foxys bar. I met some of the strippers and learned that Foxys is just a strip club, not for sex. Girls are from around the country and South America. It was nice to chat with the girls and to have them as neighbors, dressing with shorts, without bras, just like if they were at their houses. I went to the supermarket to buy water and a guy showed me a place next to La Cadena supermarket where the girls provide sensual massages. I believe it is the place that was mentioned here in the forum a few weeks ago with bad reviews. I bought the water, ate a sandwich at Villar Hermanos and then went to my room. It was 1 pm and Yatna has not arrived. I called her and she was supposedly on her way. 2pm and still not Yatna. I know these girls, it was highly probable that she was doing some shopping before meeting me and making me to waste my time. I was going to call her when I saw a taxi from my room that was arriving to the parking. There was Yatna at 3 pm, with two other girls. Not a good sign. The girls leave the taxi with some shopping bags and then she called me. She does not know that I was looking at her. She told me to go down to pay for the taxi. I told her to wait for a minute and make her wait for 10 minutes. She called several times and I told her that I was at the bathroom. I was a little mad; I hate to wait so I made her wait a little. I paid for the taxi and go upstairs with her. We began a little discussion about her arrival time and she told me that she was lost blah blah blah. She began to do her work but was a little in the hurry. We had a 30 minute session which includes some kissing, covered blowjob and sex. We finished and we went to the bathroom to clean us. I finished like a minute later and when I went out of the bathroom she was completely dressed. I asked her for a massage and she said that she has to go back to Juan Dolio because if she arrives after 5 pm she has to pay a fine. Wow, a girl that was so sweet and nice on July is now a hardcore pro. She has learned so much in so little time. I paid her less than agreed but she was mad at me not because of the pay but because I told her she was a “bultera” (a liar). Then she looked at me and gave me a hug and told me sorry but she was not having a good time at El Caucho. At the time I was writing this, November 3 , I was chatting with Yatnna. She told me that she left el Caucho and that is back at home. She put her webcam and made a short striptease just for me. I am beginning to like her again.

I took a walk to El Conde, drink a few beers on Pacos, there were 4 pretty girls together at a table but they leave after a few minutes. El Conde was as usual, lots of people walking and shopping, with Europeans with black dominicanas, Japanese and euro girls with dominican guys etc. I spent a little time on Jaragua and Coppa on Saturday night, but was not in the mood for anything. Then walked by Independencia, flirted with a few chicas but came back to the room alone. Prettier street girls I saw this trip were at Hilton to Dollhouse strip. I decided to pay a visit to a Santiago chica on Sunday so I went back to bed early.

Sunday I woke up early and called a taxi to Metro Bus station. Called the chica who was sleeping and she was happy. I arrived at noon and she was waiting for me. I invited her to Fridays, 4 beers, 2 sodas, an appetizer, a full slack of Jack Daniels ribs with fries, a service of shrimp with fries, and two desserts cost near $60. Then we spent the next 6 hours drinking beers , talking and kissing at Moctezuma, in front of the monument. I arrived back to Santo Domingo late night and hit the Jaragua and Coppa again. I wonder how good Mint, the new Napolitano hotel disco is. I went there on May; the place was empty but is by far nicer than Coppa.

Monday I moved from Navarro to Jaragua, at 85 with 2 breakfasts included, I was determined to use both breakfasts. I was staying alone but registered another person just in case. I visited colonial zone again and by evening my friend from O&M called that she wants to see me. She told me to take a taxi to Nicolas Ovando train station. It is up on Maximo Gomez Ave, between Villas Agricolas and Cristo Rey barrio. I waited for her outside the train station. Wow, thousands of people walking by night, returning from work or college. I felt safe and it was nice to see too many beautiful girls. My friend arrived and she gave me a train tour, 20 pesos per trip. We went north to Villa Mella and then south to Maximo Gomez station, and walked to La Parada Bar, near Jaragua to met her friend again. It was karaoke day and we had fun drinking until 10 pm when they came back home. I decided to pay a visit to Mambo Bar to see if the place is worth a visit. It is on Churchill a little north of Acropolis mall. The place is, well, just and a bar and two or three tables for 2. Nine chicas, three clients, including me. I ordered a Presidente, 150 pesos the small one. The girl who served me went back to the computer to chat or play, a guy was at a table alone and the hottest chica was talking to the other guy, they were dressing like schoolgirls and that one has a nice ass. I went out of the place after 15 minutes, and then ate a nice Mexican meal at the restaurant next to Mambo. Went back to Jaragua wasted 20 dollars on slots, talked to a hot tall babe with sexy firm ass inside tight jeans, she asked for 150 dollars, went down to 100 when a friend I met on internet called me. She was coming back from an All inclusive and she wanted to see me. She told me by msn that she is addicted to sex and I want to know if that was true. I told her that I have breakfast for 2 so she can come early. She accepted..

I was waiting her outside the hotel in front of Auroras, a girl from Auroras was flirting with me, she was hot but I was waiting for the nymph. She arrived shortly after 8 am on Tuesday. We went to the breakfast area, gave the girl my room number, she saw 2 guests registered, no names asked. We spent less than 30 minutes on breakfast, the girl wanted to go to the room. We went to my garden room, no problem for the chica to enter. I went to the bathroom and when I go to the room she was watching a porno movie. It put me in the mood, we began foreplay, kissing hugging etc. She asked for a massage, I said ok and she went to the bathroom to take off her clothes and came back under a towel. Opps! The towel felt a little letting me see a pair of nice tits. I began to massage her but five minutes later I was kissing her tits, licking her pussy, fingering her ass. I fucked her missionary, a position I do not like much but was very nice with her, she was screaming and calling my name and asking for more until I came on her mouth and face. Then she rested besides me and asked for a beer, 165 pesos from minibar. She drunk half the beer and began to give me a bbbj while positioning herself to a 69. She asked me to grab her tits while licking her and she moved and moaned until I came inside her mouth again. We rested a little and we begun to dress, I have to leave the room. She asked me for an Oreo cookie and money for the taxi. She told me I am her papi and wants to see me again. The movie cost 780 pesos, 165 the beer, and 75 for the plus the 200 taxi for a total of 1220 pesos. But I was happy and satisfied. That is the kind of surprise that I like to get, an unexpected priceless moment with a hot chica.

I checked out and leave my luggage at lobby; my flight was going to be at night. I walked to hotel parking and a girl with huge tits and large cleavage was sitting by parking sidewalks. I said hi to her and she was flirting, I knew she was looking for some action. I told her I was tired that a girl knocked down me and told her maybe next time. Then she began complaining that she asked for water at the hotel and they said it cost 100 pesos buy I rapidly stopped her complaining and told her that it was a bad attitude from Jaragua and said goodbye. Then I stopped and went back to her took some money from my pocket and told her: “take this, 15 pesos for you, go to the supermarket and buy 2 bottles of water, 7 pesos each and you can drink double the water than in Jaragua for a fraction of Jaragua price. I left her trying not to laugh on her face. Spent the afternoon eating at Pala Pizza a very nice pizza place, then to Pacos to drink beers, I saw one of the girls that were with the group of 4 the day before, the prettiest one. I invited her to a beer and spent like two hours together, we exchanged numbers and maybe next time. Last day was the best in a long time. Thanks to Franchesca the nymph. On my way to the airport I blow a kiss to a pretty chica on Ave Espana and she responded by flashing her tits to me. I want to come back now.

Some additional comments:
Drinks House is a hot spot on Avenida Venezuela for non pros.

If you want your taxi to be with a/c call and ask for a “comfortable” which means just that, an air conditioned taxi.

Taxi should cost the same at any time; there is no premium for night time. Intercity cost is between 150 and 200 pesos.

El Hangar is another hot spot for non pros, a good place to met college girls, near O&M University.

There is a night club on Zona Oriental, Frontery Night Club that claims to have the hottest girls, massages etc, in an area of Los Tres Ojos. Anybody knows the place?

Joe Roma,

I'll be there The 17th-22nd.

I have been to Santo Domingo several times in the last few years. I have learned that the Dominican people are always looking for an angle and should be trusted very carefully. On one of my trips , I meet a tour guide that spoke pretty good English (for the most part be careful with Dominicans that speak English). This guy was very friendly and helpful, I liked having a translator with me. We have become good friends and he has earned my trust. His name is Santo and he would be happy to be of service to anyone that is visiting Santo Domingo. He will stay with you for as long or short as you wish. He knows all the spots and always makes sure I am paying the right price not the Gringo price. Just call him a few days in advance and tell him that Chris gave you his number. Just speak slow and clear and he will understand you. I have recomended him before and everyone that has used him is happy they did. He stays with me all day and I give him $30. Santo is my friend so I take very good care of him, buy him beer and dinner sometimes. His number is [Telephone Number deleted by Admin].

I will be in Santo Dom. on Nov.19-23 who's in. You don't need a tour guide, but if you can find someone that you can trust, it is so much better to have one.

"Does anyone know a guide in Santo Domingo that can be trusted?
If so what type of cost am I looking at?"

A taxi driver can act as a kind of Guide in Santo Domingo. Boricua Online has put together an excellent map using google maps, you can find the link for the map in the Reports of Distinction thread.

With the information on that map, you will probably be better informed than most so called guides. Post #1863 is the link for the map.

Other members have phone numbers of taxi drivers they used and can recommend.

Read Bijou's report, post number 2112, also in the Reports of Distinction thread. I believe Bijou also posted the phone number of a taxi driver that he used in one of his reports.

Most taxi fares in Santo Domingo are 150 pesos (a little over 4 dollars). A good taxi driver who waits for you when you visit venues will not try to grub free drinks from you. If you want the taxi driver to have a drink with while you visit different places, that is your choice, a good taxi driver will not try to get freebies from you.

Once you spend a few days in Santo Domingo you will begin to get a feel for the lay of the land there. If you stay at Riazor or Jaguar hotels you will be within walking distance of different places to score chicas. After you explore the city a little, you will see that you don't need a guide.

[Jaosousa]

The Jaragua has the casino so it will give me something to do that night.

Thanks

You can walk over to the Hotel Melia, less than a five minute walk from the Jaragua. Melia casino seems to be more popular than the Jaragua Casino, usually some attractive chicas in the Hotel Melia Casino and while you are there you can pop into Coppa Discoteca for a drink (which has an entrance from the casino, free to enter).

[Jaosousa]

Thanks to Jaosousa and Boricua for the ton of info, I have decided to go into the city and stay at the Jaragua. I arrive in SDQ at 4 pm and probably won't feel like going out on the town because I want to catch the early bus to Bavaro and we have to meet up with my second chica. The Jaragua has the casino so it will give me something to do that night for a few hours other than bang my little spinner "companion" and at $75. it's not too outrageously priced.

Boricua, that map is fucking awesome. My next trip to the DR will definitely be to SDQ for a week with no chicas in tow,a blind man could find his way around and pick up chicas with that map.

I am only going to be in SDQ for two days,one day on arrival and one on departure so I won't have time to walk around and I will have my girls with me but I would like to know for my next trip which areas I should avoid walking around at night? I know that it is a subjective question as one mans idea of "safe" is another mans idea of dangerous but any info or response would be appreciated. I am no stranger to walking about in cities in Latin America but I am a lone wolf and stay out of the dicey areas at night,I'd rather take a taxi and have my health and sanity than have to deal with any shit but I also like walking around. Again, any insight would be awesome.

Thanks

If you walk out the back entrance of the Jaragua, (through the parking lot and the security gate), directly across from the security gate is Manolos Restaurant. It has outdoor seating which is raised about three feet above the sidewalk, fresh fruit juices, cheeseburgers, chicken, pasta etc. It will be cheaper than the Champions Sport Bar inside the Jaragua (15-20 U.S. dollars for a cheeseburger with fries, after the 26% in taxes is factored in).

Drinks in the casino should be free if you are gambling. Otherwise to buy a small glass of Presidente beer at the corner bar in the casino bar is 250 pesos (almost 7 dollars) ridiculous. Live band every night in the corner bar, cute singers.

$75 is a good rate for the Jaragua (if the 26% in taxes is not included in that rate, the total price will go up by about 20 dollars).

Santo Domingo does not have many touristy areas where people walk around at night. Zona Colonial can be nice at night, but the later it gets, the streets in Zona Colonial get deserted. Near Atarazana in Zona Colonial are several restaurants with outdoor seating, which are romantic at night. The restaurants overlook a large open plaza (plaza espana?) with a view of the river.

One of best times to drive a car in Santo Domingo is later in the evening. Not much traffic and late night you are allowed to go through red lights (stop first if you have the red and make sure no other cars are coming on the other road). I have been told it is legal to proceed through a red light late at night.

Around the Jaragua is fairly safe to walk around. Walking on the Malecon between the Jaragua and the Melia and V Centannario hotels is safe at night.

Behind the Jaragua is Avenida Independencia which is busy during the day and at night it is a little dark with less traffic. Not many people walking around on Avenida Indepedencia late at night, you will see chicas looking for clients on Avenida Independencia at night. Some local guys hang around the rear entrance of the Jaragua and Avenida Independencia and will approach gringos offering to show where the chica bars are. Lapsus is close to the rear entrance of the Jaragua (across the street and to the left), one block down to the left and another left on a side street is La Parada.

If you exit the rear of the Jaragua and go right, after about a block or two, Avenida Pasteur crosses Independencia, make a right on Pasteur and girl's house and sky house are on the left hand side of Pasteur. You can also leave the front entrance of the Jaragua and take the Malecon to Avenida Pasteur, or the street where La Parada is.

I usually bring some dollar bills to tip the guys who will bring the luggage to the room.

Jaosousa has said almost all, but with my limited knowledge of the city transportation system I believe you eventually have to move to the city to go to Bavaro. Expreso Bavaro goes directly to Bavaro and stops only on every hotel try to get the earliest trip which I am not sure it is at 9:00 am or 11:00 am. There is a bus scheduled every two hours. Cost was 300 pesos on July, it took me more than 4 hours to arrive to Bavaro. The other bus is on Parque Enriquillo, I believe this is the one with the stops. Both bus stations are west of river , see the map for location. You don't have to pay $40 for a taxi from airport, call Apolo taxi, they charge 1000 pesos or $28, I never paid more than 180 pesos for any intra city transfer, no matter how far the place was, no matter time of day, even with reasonable waiting time. I never waited more than 5minutes for any intra city transfer, they have units moving around the city 24/7 Stay at Jaguar or Riazor, you are not going to regret.

Free Sex, there is a halloween party everywhere in SDQ, have fun!

Thanks to Jaosousa and Boricua for the ton of info, I have decided to go into the city and stay at the Jaragua. I arrive in SDQ at 4 pm and probably won't feel like going out on the town because I want to catch the early bus to Bavaro and we have to meet up with my second chica. The Jaragua has the casino so it will give me something to do that night for a few hours other than bang my little spinner "companion" and at $75. it's not too outrageously priced.

Boricua, that map is fucking awesome. My next trip to the DR will definitely be to SDQ for a week with no chicas in tow,a blind man could find his way around and pick up chicas with that map.

I am only going to be in SDQ for two days,one day on arrival and one on departure so I won't have time to walk around and I will have my girls with me but I would like to know for my next trip which areas I should avoid walking around at night? I know that it is a subjective question as one mans idea of "safe" is another mans idea of dangerous but any info or response would be appreciated. I am no stranger to walking about in cities in Latin America but I am a lone wolf and stay out of the dicey areas at night,I'd rather take a taxi and have my health and sanity than have to deal with any shit but I also like walking around. Again, any insight would be awesome.

Thanks

I am heading back to the DR in a couple weeks for a lazy man's mongering trip.

This is my itinerary, I have a few questions:

I am flying into SDQ for my first time, meeting up with two of my favorita's that I met in PP but live in SDQ and taking them to Bavaro the next day by bus.

I am thinking I want a hotel for the one night that I am in SDQ near the airport so I don't have to pay the $40. Taxi fare into the center of the city but I am open to suggestions. We will be leaving the next day by bus to Bavaro, where is the bus terminal in relation to the airport? I read on a travel forum that there are two buses to Bavaro, one stops at every shithole on the way and the other is nonstop, anybody know which one is which? I don't mind bus rides but the less time on the bus the more time for "other things". Any suggestions in regards to hotel selection would be appreciated, I am only checking in one girl as the other is meeting up with us at the bus terminal, and if anyone can enlighten me on the bus situation I would be very grateful.

Have you thought about flying directly into Punta Cana (PUJ) and let the chicas take the bus ride from the capital. Bavaro is nice, many all inclusive hotels, all price ranges. Some good normal nightlife in Bavaro, some nightlife events are held on the beach, with tourists and some rich dominicans in attendance.

Expreso Bavaro bus company probably the best. Boricua Online has their information on his map, their phone number: 809-542-3027. You can have one of the chicas call Expreso Bavaro to get more info.

Appears you don't want to go into the city of Santo Domingo. There is one good hotel that is located somewhat close to the airport, Quality Hotel Real Aeropuerto Santo Domingo, sort of looks like a Hampton Inn. http://www.realhotelsandresorts.com/...toDomingo.aspx

KM 22 Autopista Las Americas
next to Las Americas Free Zone
Santo Domingo
Dominican Republic

Tel: +1 809 549 2525

Supposedly about 5 kilometers from the airport. Maybe you can call that hotel and tell them you want to stay for one night and catch a bus to Bavaro, they might have more information about whether any buses stop near their hotel.

That is probably the closest normal hotel to the airport. There are some cabanas on the road to Boca Chica but I don't think you want to spend more than 4 hours in a cabana.

Taking a taxi into Boca Chica will probably cost 25 dollars or more.

Bavaro/Punta Cana is nice, good to see, some good normal nightlife at times, Bavaro some has nice beaches. If you just want to relax in an all inclusive with some chicas, Bayahibe is not bad for that. No nightlife in Bayahibe, nice beach, some good all inclusive hotels. All inclusive room rates in a good hotel in Bayahibe before January are about 115 per night for two people. Bayahibe is closer to Santo Domingo Airport then Bavaro/Punta Cana.

If any of you mongers are interested. I have a problem. I live in Haiti and I have the Haiti House. You can check the Haiti board to see what it is about. I had some parts sent to New York to a fellow monger that was coming back to Haiti Saturday Oct 24th but he wound up in the hospital and cannot make it. I have been trying to find someone that may be interested in a trip to the Haiti House from NY but have not gotten any response. I am offering a deal to any of you guys that are already going to the DR to bring the parts there and I will meet you in the DR and get the parts. For this, I will give you 3 days free and pay your bus ticket from the DR to Haiti where the hot babes are. Trust me, there are no he-shes walking the streets here. Only hot babes. There are no pimps here because they would go broke. If you are interested message me or call me at 573-271-7369. I am in trouble without the parts. These parts are for a truck scale so don't get the idea I am trying to get you to transport anything illegal. If you come to Haiti you will never go back to the DR in the future as it is more secure here than in Santo Domingo and the babes are hotter. I have mongered in both
