Does anyone know if Alan (an American and former owner of Cisne) will open up another place in the DR?

Alan ran Cisne very well. The girls were polite and the service was fantastic (no rush, GFE, multiple pops, great rates), etc.

Alan, if you read this message, open up another place buddy!!!

NWO,

Yes, I was there last summer and had a similar esperience to that of Forest (but I didn't give her any taxi money), then I was warned by some SD regulars on another board that Casa de Modelos is really a rip-off joint.

Can't remember the ho's name, it doesn't matter anyway: don't pick up any ho in this place.

Thanks for the info.

Casa Modelo, Casa Teressa, The Mansion, etc. all gave me a quote of 5,000 pesos.

And its funny because whenever I stop by these places, there are only a few customers. The girls just sit on the sofa, chat, chew gum, etc.

Take care.

Casa de modelos is a rip-off joint that is best avoided.

Forest, I am sorry to hear about your bad experience. Did you make a complaint to the manager? I got a quote of 5,000 (from 1am until 10am) so I said "no" and left.

Gladiator, didn't you visit this place last August or September? I think you said the girl was too business-oriented.

Can you please tell me the girl's name so that I can avoid her? I went there two months ago and saw a very tall girl (average built) with big boobs and long hair. I forgot her name. But she looked very fine.....but 5,000 pesos is too much.

I found a girl at an internet cafe (she was browsing amigos.com) and I hooked up with her. I took her out to dinner and drinks at a bar. So spend the night with me. The food, drinks and cab cost me around 2,500 pesos. But at least she stayed until late afternoon. Better than paying 5,000 pesos.

Was in Casa de Modelos last night. Took home a gorgeous 20 yo morena who was lots of fun until we got to the hotel where she was all business and split after less than an hour of non GFE service (although she did look great with her clothese off).

That is the downside to the DR. There is far less "quality control" than the girls from the agencies in Rio. If she had been from Karla's, a phone call would have caused her serious problems. And,since you pay the house up front, you lose all of your leverage. Forcing the girls to stay the minimum 1 1/2 hours is never fun, so I let her go (plus, it was 3 in the morning, and I was tired anyway). She ended up calling me a "bad man" because I only gave her 100 pesos ($3) for taxi (that's all it costs the girls incidentally).

I'm not familiar with the Senorial. Based upon what I am hearing,my choices are now Napolitano, Riazor and Senorial. Are all girl friendly?Are all nice? When saying Senorial is best "all around" what does this mean? Anyone going to be in SD on Feb 10 - 12? Thanks.

[Papirriqui]

El Duque is good for the money and fairly girl-friendly, but it is quite gay-friendly and the occasional drag queens made me feel embaressed when entering or exiting with a girlfriend or the average Dominican friend. Has had a bad restaurant for a long time, maybe that has changed.

El Senorial around the corner is better all round. La Casona Dorada across the street is popular with many on the board, but I have always had problems with their rooms, many times and even having friends on their staff.

Neither is as nice as the more expensive Napolitano. Please share current prices after you get their.

Best of luck! The really pretty Santiago women that _are_ available are in SD and rarely found in Santiago or are at least not easy to bed there.

I've stayed at both El Duque and La Casona Dorada (last month had a problem there with a fellow monger) and agree with Berto. El Duque's rooms are nicer (i like the suites) but staff sucks. La Casona has a nice pool, though.

I will be in SD on Feb 10 - 12 and am trying to decide where to stay. I want close to action, extremely girl-friendly and nice. Less expensive would be nice, too. I am deciding between the Napolitano, Duque de Wellington and Riazor. Can anyone give me the pros & cons or suggestions? Thanks.

You are the man, thanks for the info. Between Intercontinental, the Napolitano, Riazor and Casona Dorada, which is better and more chica-friendly?

Palacio is in the Colonial Zone. You can walk to Lapsus but it is a decent walk. Maybe 20-30 minutes by foot. Taxi would be 100 pesos, but not if you jump in a taxi out front of the hotel. Call Taxi Lino or Aero Taxi etc.

Remington is too far to walk, probably 20 minutes past Lapsus. I have walked from the Colonial Zone to the Jaragua which is very close to Lapsus many many times. From Lapsus to Remington I walked once! I was trying to grab a cab but Independencia is one way and I didn't have a cell that trip.

If you want to be closer to the action the Intercontinental is a better choice. For less money the Napolitano. For even less Riazor or Casona Dorada. . .and for the cheapest hotels that are not total dumps the places on Calle Danae are the cheapest that I would actually stay at, but I am not picky!

Where is this locationwise to Remington, Lapsus, etc?

[Brgrk]

Palacio also has an apartment building, with weekly rentals. Has anyone stayed here? How does it compare to the hotel? Here is a description from there website

"The Hotel Palacio has under his management small apartments for rent . This apartments ( studios and 1 bedroom apartments ) are located in the colonial city . 19 de Marzo street , next to the Conde Street and the Malecon. A new building ( 3 years old ) with the comfort you need . 24 hours watchman and emergency generator for full service. Cleaning service from Hotel Palacio daily. "

I pass this hotel often on my way back to the Palacio. Now the Palacio is incredibly girl friendly (including the fact that the last time I was there, one of the maids offered herself to me when she came to clean the room; as she wasn't bad looking, I might have said yes except that I did not have the time).

Does anyone have experience with the Sofitel Frances Santo Domingo? It looks like a beautiful hotel, and it is relatively cheap on Expedia. Is it GIRL FRIENDLY (my only real criteria for a hotel. I have never been interested in the Jaragua for this reason).

Thanks

[Mr. Particular]

Sofitel Frances is an amazing place to stay, and yes, it is girl friendly. The building is centuries old and the rooms are incredibly beautiful, with the original high ceilings etc .. not your usual hotel at all ... I had a girl there for a short time once (I now live in Santo Domingo) and no problems.

I interested in hearing more about this hotel, Palacio. I'm going in April and I need a new spot to rest. I getting tired of the struggles of Hotel Jaragua.
