Santo Domingo

[Tacoma101]

Trip notes:

3rd dedicated trip to Santo Domingo. 5th overall to DR. Decent Spanish here. Brought my virgin buddy along. Zero Spanish, zero international travel experience, but enjoys mongering in the sex prison that is the US. *.

We stayed in Piantini in an Air be&be. Decent place. Had a nice second floor terrace to entertain groups of girls. Also had a pool side terrace that worked well when we wanted to split up and entertain. *.

I mostly worked my usual semi pros but did meet one civi from Tinder who was just super sweet. Met up for drinks in Colonial with her friend and my friend. Dinner two nights later and it was game on. Super toned body with easily double the's. Talk about fantasy sex. The best was that she was just down to earth and sweet. Love finding those diamonds. *.

My boy did a LOT of work on Tinder. We realized that paying for the superlikes (25 of them) and going that route really puts you in the front of the line. He also had moderate success talking and meeting a few women from Instagram. Most of us take the women over to whatsapp, but he also used IG as a tool to communicate. *.

I met two other ones from Tinder. Semi pros. Drinks at the Air be&be, amazing sex for a few hours. Zero discussion about money. Overpaid at $60 but damn service was siiiiiiick. *.

My buddy eventually got the lay of the land and was out on his own. He hit up Foxxys and Oasis more than once. Just blowing through the girls at $100/ session. Crazy fool. *.

I took him to GBP and he was shocked at how cheap that place was. Hahaha. Fun times to be had always. *.

I didn't see much in the way of cute SW's / parque chicas in the Colonial this time. I expected more of that. *.

For you vets, any approach angle on how you meet the local women in the malls? So many hotties in Downtown Center. *.

Probably the best two stories was my buddy did a repeat session with a chica who came to the Air be&be. I think they agreed to 2 hours and she showed up looking rough with the usual sob story about who really cares. Service was terrible and he gave her the boot after an hour and paid her half. I was pretty proud of him for doing that!

Second best story was that I met another chica from Tinder. Just hung out the first time. Nothing crazy. I invited her to Vent Lounge (love that place) for drinks and food with my buddy. Told her to bring a small bikini. She's a dancer and her body is sick!. She comes out in this little tiny G string bikini. Peoples eyes were popping. Anyways, afternoon goes along. We are popping $30 bottles haha. She's feeling good and some American chica in the pool comes over and makes conversation with us in English. My girl is feeling left out and just goes nuts in a jealous spasm. She was last seen storming out of Vent Lounge in her g string bikini with her ass shaking. Hahahah. Probably a blessing in disguise. But that ass. Mmmm.

That's it for now!*.

I am not an expat there, but I roll different from you OK.

You are not the only one Mr. E.

I know of at least three people that would not consider themselves expats who maintain cars and apartments here. With "me no like casa guy" it's personal. He has posts deleted from my blog for being argumentative with me. But the shadowing does promote exchange even when the forum is yesterdays news and close to being played out because of no real information being posted up in here by the off-islanders who should be in the position to provide insight into the current situation. There have been two individuals whom I helped: Coolgreg and MasterofNone. They came in here asked questions, had a great trip and then posted nothing. No trip report, nada. But "me no like casa" guy wants to take issue with me for providing information from the perspective of an Expat that might actually help an off-islander handle his business better. Why is that?

[Mr Enternational]

When I travel between cities I use Metro & Caribe Tours for 7 bucks no need for Uber there. Now this an off Islander forum. Expats are the outsider here. The way us mongers handle our business should be very.

Different from an expat.

I am not an expat there, but I roll different from you OK. If I am going to sit in a hotel and wait on a chick, then maybe go to the mall with the chick, then go back to the hotel with the chick, then yes, Uber could be the way to go (I do have stock in it, so please continue to use it.).

But I am going all over the country at a moment's notice. I never really have a plan when I go to DR. I just go with the flow. One moment I am off in La Vega and the next moment in San Francisco. I may stop to eat fish in Boca Chica on my way out to Juan Dolio. Before my fish is ready, I need to run by Ole to get me 3 bottles of Baldom hot sauce to take back to the States with me.

Then I need to run to old girl's place way across town to get my nails done. I like being mobile and moving on my own schedule, not on Uber's, Caribe Tours', or Metro's.

Next time I will probably head out to Bahia de Las Aguilas. That is 10 hours west by bus, but only 6 hours by car. And I want to stop where and when I want to stop. I might see some cool shit and want to pull over to experience it. All you can do is wave at it through the window when you are on a bus.

Next month when I get to Brazil me and girlfriend are doing the same thing. Only thing we have is a car rented. We are driving 14 hours down the coast from Natal to Salvador in 10 days stopping where we want to stop and seeing whatever we find interesting to see. That will be the life; not hopping on a bus to get to the next city then having to depend on other transportation to take us around. You only live once and I am trying to see and experience some shit while I am here, not just stick my dick into various holes. I am a tourist as well as a monger.

[SubCmdr]

Until this day I could not for the life of me figure out why they keep pulling people over because in the at least 30 times that they have pulled me over, I have given them ZERO.

Well what do we have here? A off-islander handing their business like an Expat does. According to "me no like casa" guy that does not happen. The last five times I got pulled over in the Gran Jefe mobile I gave exactly nothing. But what was more interesting is that I was asked for exactly nothing (with one exception).

According to "me no like casa" guy (an off-islander) that keeps quoting me. He says I'm an outsider. I understand how he feels about that. But he needs to remember I'm Black by popular demand. I've been that way all my life I've been an outsider in my country of origin my entire life. And I'm an outsider in Republica Dominicana. And since off-islanders have nothing to learn from expats (or maybe it's just him), continue to handle their business how they choose. Dowhatchalike! Throw your money around. Don't go to casas (they manage to stay in business without your business). And don't worry that I'm I'll fucking your girls before you get here and after you leave for a fraction of the money you are giving them. That is unless they are simply pining away for you to return. Right?

[Mr Enternational]

During my last visit, my wingman insisted we rent a car (because I pay for it). As usual, it was regret from the very start. Not only did we have to deal with the batshit crazy traffic, but we had the police shakedown on the way back out of the country. Yes, they hit us for $200 on the road to the airport at 0500.

Now see. You just taught me something. Until this day I could not for the life of me figure out why they keep pulling people over because in the at least 30 times that they have pulled me over, I have given them ZERO. I might start pulling people over too if it is paying like that. Please tell us what would make you give those folk money. And $200 at that!

[SubCmdr]

Are we overthinking this? I have used uber when we deicided to go to Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. Well worth the price. No different than anyone on this board trying to talk with an uber driver for making money off the books. It can be done.

Boca Chica 45 minutes away from Santo Domingo, Juan Dolio another 15 minutes. You taking Uber to Puta Cana, Barahona or the North Coast?

How is is possible for Old Kool to quote me and tell me I'm the outsider when I can't even see his posts when I log in? OK, if after five years of living on the island my contributions are not valued by the off islanders talking shit in the forum, then it's better to be an outsider. If you take a look at Mr. E's post you see that even off-islanders handle their business differently and disagree. It's not something unique to being an Expat. LOL!

[Confiable]

Are we overthinking this? I have used uber inside the capital with a girl that I was seeing and she connected with a female uber driver. I am not sure if there are many in the DR but she became our personal valet when we deicided to go to Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. Well worth the price. No different than anyone on this board trying to talk with an uber driver for making money off the books. It can be done.

Try using Uber to travel to a different city in Republica Dominicana from Santo Domingo / Santo Domingo este. I'll stand by for your report. Full disclosure, I don't own stock in Uber.




Rental car problems. That sounds like an off-islander issue. Never had them.

Then again I always have the Gran Jefe mobile waiting whenever I need it. Holla!

Keep in mind that when you break down the cost of the car it is very close to the cost of my driver with his car! And he does the driving.

Rethink the rental scene!

Happy 2020!

I rented a car one time in SD for a week. When I returned the car I promised myself I would never do it again. MR Es story is not unique. A bad rental car experience can ruin your entire vacation. SD uber service is cheap and very good.

[Mr Enternational]

Never again will I go to DR during holiday season. I arrived and dropped into Claro to put 200 pesos on my phone so I would have lightning speed internet for the GPS and all. I usually do it online before coming down, but I forgot. I went over to the Banco Popular ATM where I tell any girl meeting me at the airport to meet me. My doctor chick intercepted me as I walked that way. Looks like they have remodeled the two banks right there and have new ATMs where you insert your card the short way instead of the long way. I could not figure it out at first, trying to put it in the normal way and thinking the machine was broken. I took out the usual 10,000 pesos and we headed over to Nelly/Ace rental car.

For some reason one desk inside the airport said to go to the other desk. When I went to the desk on the other side it said the same thing. WTF. For this reason we had to make the trek across the parking lot to Nelly. We get there and there are a couple of guys outside saying they moved. The one guy pointed back across the parking lot. So we cross that mf again still not sure where to go. Ends up they have moved to the building where Budget and a lot of other companies were before.

I wait in line for a long time behind a lady from Miami and her husband from Costa Rica and their 2 bad ass kids. I didn't know what was taking so damn long. Finally old girl called me up and as always I had my documents and Amex ready and handed them to her. She looked in the computer then told me the news. SORRY. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CARS. I have a reservation though. Well, other people called and extended their rentals. What the fuck dude? And I thought having a mere reservation would save me, whereas I did not have one the last time I was caught in this situation. WRONG! This is DR we are talking about. That is when I looked about and saw there was a building full of people at all the other car rental agencies with the same damn problem!

This is where having a smart chick comes in handy. She got on the phone to call someone to check on renting a car, but she still came up empty handed. I hit MrGogo up to see if he had GrownMan's Boca Chica car rental contact. He did not. So I hit GrownMan up and he responded quickly with the contact. I sent the contact a message on whatsapp and he said he was in the street and would hit me back soon. Then the lady (who knows me well) said they can give me a pickup truck for the same price as the midsize I wanted. She said she knows that I never get insurance, but I would have to get it for that option. (Same thing they told Tempo in his Sosua report.) Well my original rental was $188 for 4 days. I asked her how much the pickup would be for 2 days with the insurance and I want to think she said $121.

I told her that I would take it. Then she sprung it on me that they would have to send someone to Gascue to get the car from the Independencia location. I told her to save time why don't you just pay for me an Uber to go there myself. She called the boss and ran it by her but she didn't accept. She said they would send 2 guys on a motorbike to go pick it up and it would be quick. She then stepped away from the desk. While she was away, GrownMan's contact called me. He said he had a 2003 Hyundai for me for $40/day but I could only have it for 2 days. I said man I don't care if it is a 1903, I will take it. Me and my girl were only staying in Las Terrenas for 2 days anyway. Hopefully by then some rental agencies will have cars back. I asked him if I needed to go to Boca Chica or if he would come get me. He said he would come so I told him to meet me upstairs at departures. He sent me a picture of the car and said he would be there shortly.

His brother and another guy picked us up and took us to the "office" (old abandoned house full of mosquitos really - now that I think about it, it used to be a hoarhouse). He said there would be a $200 deposit. I had only taken 10,000 pesos out of the ATM and had $70 in my wallet. I asked if I could go to the ATM for more money. My girl piped up and said she had 1500 pesos on her, whereas any other Dominicana would have just sat there looking stupid. She spotted me 500 and I gave him all the money. We went outside to go over the car. I don't know what the fuck I was doing but my girl ended up going over the car with him while I stood at the back by the trunk. I did notice a bubble on the front left tire, but I did not say anything. I was already a couple of hours behind. We left there and hit the ATM to get another 10,000 pesos, filled the car with gas, and was on our way.

We reached the end of the toll road right after nightfall. Took that right to head to Las Terrenas instead of the left I have always taken to go to Sosua. There ended up being another toll road to get to LT. That mf was 500 pesos! We were driving over some mountains. That took about 15 to 20 min and we were back at sea level. When the GPS said we were a couple of minutes from LT, I turned down the Rick James that I had been blasting. I slowed down to go over a speed bump and what did I hear? The brakes scrubbing like a MF!

We checked in to the hotel and my girl went to take a shower. I layed on the bed waiting for her to finish so we could go check the place out. She come out with a towel on and gets on top of me and pulls my pants down and started sucking my dick. So much for checking out the town. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to take a shower and got back in the bed. The next morning we ate breakfast and took a walk on the beach.

We stopped at one place before they opened. They had some plastic sofas set up so we sat there admiring mother nature. When the place opened they gave us a menu and pina coladas were 400 pesos plus that 28% tax. We excused ourself from that clip joint and continued down the beach. We came to another spot close by where the pina coladas were 200 pesos plus the 10% service charge part of the tax. We sat in the lounge chairs and drank then went for a swim. We came out of the water and ordered some coco locos, then decided to check out another beach. My girl looked it up and said she should go to Playa Escondida. No way we were walking there so we headed back to the hotel to get the car. I noticed some scratches on the front left bumper and asked my girl if they were on there when she was checking out the car. She was absolutely sure that they were not!

Before going to the next beach I wanted to check out some scuba diving shops to maybe get a couple of dives in the next morning. The first shop said 100 euro for 2 dives. We went to the next shop and they said $90 for two dives. My girl left her number with them for someone to call later to set everything up.

Walked out of there and saw the front left tire flat! Mothafucka! A Dominican guy that had parked in front of us was coming out to get into his van and said I have an air pump if you want me to hook you up. I told him that was okay because I was pretty sure it would need more than air. I started driving trying to find of place but there was no hope. I got about 20 meters and my girl said you better park this damn car before you fuck the rim up too. She was right. I pulled into some business's lot that was empty. I tried to change the tire but for some reason I could not pull it off the hub. It was like it was welded on. And I didn't want to hit it too hard because the car would fall off the rinky dinky jack.

My girl went over to talk to some motorconcho guys and before I knew it the guy had went and gotten a tire repair guy (gomero). He brought his working tools, which included a better jack. He had to hit the old tire a few times with the spare tire and it finally came off. He was about to take the tire to his shop when I told him to hold on. I showed him where the tire was cut from where the bubble had been. There was no way to fix that. One of the motorconcho guys came and got me and took me around looking for a tire. One thing I noticed is that those motorbikes go over those big ass speed bumps way smoother than cars do. Why do they make those shits big enough to fuck up your car even when you are easing over them is what I do not understand.

Dude took me to 3 shops that did not have that average everyday common size tire. Finally the guy at one shop told us to go to a used tire guy across the way. I was looking for a 195/50 16. This guy happened to have a 195/55 16. I will take it. How much you want. 2500 pesos. 2500 pesos? Dominicano please. 1500 pesos! After arguing with him the motorconcho guy said fuck that, he will give you 1800; now give us the damn tire. Not again! Since we were only going to the beach I left most of my money back in the hotel, but I had my ATM card with me. I told motorconcho guy that I would have to go to the ATM first. He said not to worry about it. He would pay for it and I could just give it back to him when we get everything done. Wrx was right when he said having a good motoconcho guy on call if you live in DR will pay off in spades.

We took the tire to the gomero's shop and he switched the tires off and on the rim using a screwdriver and his foot. Then he checked for leaks. It was good. Motoconcho guy took me by an ATM. While we were on the way I asked him how much I owed him. He said whatever I wanted to give him. We got back to the car and the gomero had arrived and was putting the tire on. I asked him how much I owed him and he said 500. I went and asked the motoconcho guy again and he said 400 would be good. So I gave him 700 plus the 1800 for the tired. He really saved my ass. I tell you what; fuck these DR roads. From now on I will be renting SUVs like my man Revere. We headed off to find that Playa Escondida.

I took a nap at the beach while my girl took selfies. We left there and went to eat dinner where I was dinner for a bunch of mosquitos. I always forget my Off. We go back to the room to take showers so we could hit the club. I put on some Romeo Santos and we ended up fucking and falling asleep again. I kept waking up telling her to get ready then I would fall right back asleep same as her. We woke up the next morning and checked out of the hotel and drove like 40 minutes to check out a beach that the waiter at the restaurant had told us about, Playa El Maron. Got there and the current was so damn strong so we were not going into that water. Stayed a spell and drank pina coloadas from a lone guy that was selling them. After that it was time to hit the road so I could get the car back in time.

I headed down that toll road like a speed demon. About half way down it I see an SUV off to the side. As I got closer somebody jumped in the middle of the road flagging me over. The GOT DAMN COPS! And this was not the military police that always pulls you over for bribes. This was the real mfs that give out tickets. They were writing the SUV a ticket and their bike was parked in front of the SUV so I did not see it. I told my girl to only talk to me in English. I tried the usual dumb routine but they were not going for it. They asked for my license and insurance. Dude showed me on the gun where I was going 118 km / HR. I said man no way I was doing that. He said yes you were. The one that spoke a little English took his time writing the ticket. He gave me the ticket and my license back and I asked him how much it was. He said he did not know. I asked well where do I pay it. He said at the bank. I asked which bank. He said BanReservas. We headed on our way and my girl looked online to see about the ticket but she could not come up with anything. I stuck it in my DR kit and will see about paying it next time I am there. I know which cops I can act a fool with and which ones I can't. These were not the ones that I could and I knew that from the start. Plus I knew that I was in the wrong anyway. It was not like they were pulling me over on some bullshit. Finally got to my girl's house in La Paz to drop her off.

P.S. For some reason Ace still sent me a survey even though I did not rent a car there. I filled out the survey saying exactly what happened, but that the agents were good as usual. Hell, they could not pull a car out of their asses. They wrote me back and said they would send me a check to cover the cost of the other car that I ended up renting. So at least that went right.

[Confiable]

I will also be there. We can meet for drinks.

Amen to that. Some of the best sex I've ever had has been in casas.

SubCmdr thanks for taking the time to answer earlier post.

I'm in town first week of Feb if anyone wants a beer.

Which are top casas for reasonable money nowadays?

GBP seems recommended a few pages back. Is there a recent listing\directory I can refer to?

Is it worth it hunting out an apartment or are the hotels relaxed re the chicas. Any good mid range hotels to recommend, Hotel Riazor has been recommended, any others?

Final dumb question: can I get generic cialis at the local pharmacia without a scrip?

Finally the thriving street scene: which streets are thriving the most?

Ill update the board with report outlining every grunt and squelch after the trip....

Is Apple that far behind? You could have had that 6 years ago with a Google voice number and Samsung's dual messenger capabilities.

So you want to talk tech? Is that because you don't have anything to contribute on the pussy front? I'm not interested in having the Apple versus Android operating system debate with you. Use whatchalike my brother!

Here is the link to the Apple site so you can educate yourself: https://www.apple.com/iphone-11-pro/specs/.

For your information it's actually aSIM Card: Dual SIM (nano‑SIM and eSIM) 12.

I also was fascinated about having a dual sim phone years ago but with Google fi serving all my needs well now, don't need dual sim. Actually having local phone service in the DR became a hassle because girls were wasting my time calling me with bullshit. Any girl that doesn't have wassap is outdated now. Wassap face video is a MF and women spend more time looking at your surroundings trying to figure where I am. Just get Google fi and it is pretty reliable World wide.

Thank you for your input on how you handle you tech situation. Your personal situation is different from mine as are your requirements and desires.

My personal and working situation has dramatically changed this year making a dual sim arrangement preferable for me. There are offers from US carriers that allow me to have two plans for the price of one making it a "no brainer" arrangement for me. The iPhone 11 Pro photo capabilities will also serve me well in my professional photography applications that I will be engaged in around the world this year. Hit me via PM if you would like to see some of my work.

Anybody have anything to actually contribute about pussy in Republica Dominicana? Cause I'm always looking to expand my already extensive knowledge base about where the ho's be at, how much they cost and what's the best way to get them. I thought that's what the forum was about, the sharing of information on how to have sex with girls. But maybe I'm mistaken.

Uber has made things very easy. They are cheap and efficient. You can stay almost anywhere in sd. I use the ratings to pick my rooms. The ones I used have been very good. Pools gyms are all options that are affordable and available.

How was your experience with air bnb? Any issue with electric power, with neighbors? Noises?
