Boca Chica

[El Jeffe]

Hi Gents,

Going on my first trip to Boca Chica. Been reading the blogs but never hear any reports about Don Juan Beach Resort. That is my destination. I got a nice room in the Catains Club. Does anyone know about this place. Also I am going solo (no wing man) so if anyone is out there on Oct 13 to 16th, let me know. I was thinking I might hang around the Hamaca Casino for chicas, seems there might be of higher quality. Any one have quick tips for a first timer?

Back to Boca next weekend for some R&R and mongering. Staying at the Dominican Bay Resort, as it's all inclusive and has a nice pool. Has anyone tried to smuggle one of the local chicas into the DB? They have those bracelets for the registered guests, and I'm wondering if it is possible at all to get one of the locals in.

Is that hotel very close to a beach? Does it have a safe for passport and things? I am new at this and trying to meet a girl in boca chica but I want to have my hotel situation set up when I get there. It would be nice to meet up and get some intel from you.

BootyMonger,

Yes, Zapata is right on the beach. There are two buildings. They have safes in all the rooms. Are you "trying" to meet a girl, as in one is coming to meet you or are you "hoping" to meet a girl. If you're "hoping" you'll be plesantly surprised. .

Pm me and we can talk about hooking up.

Have a safe trip down!

[BootyMonger]

Yes they do. I am booked in there from Sept. 26 throught the 30th. I have asked about that and Roberto has replied by email that they do. If a chica spends the night, there is a $10. 00US charge as they would be considered an additional person in the room that night.

Thaks for the link to this orphanage. I contacted the woman here in the States to see what we could help with since we were heading down later this month. It turns out she has about 6 suitcases filled with clothes to be delivered to the orphanage. I am hoping to take some of them down when I go. I was planning to carry on my small bag and bypass the check in lines, but this trumps that!

This is the information I have from the Buisness card Dominica gave me: Dominica R. Rosario, Director Centro de Crecimiento why Desarrollo Integral . Km. 19 Auto. Las Americas. La Urena.

Posted these a few days ago as an afterthought in my post in "travel announcements." It has since occurred to me that I'm more likely to get a response in the BC thread.

One question and one request.

QUESTION. What's a fair price for ride from SDQ to BC these days, assuming I just walk to the curb and get a taxi?

REQUEST. If anyone has contact info (I prefer email to phone) for a driver so I can pre-arrange pick-up, please send me a PM. I know there used to be a couple of expat guys (Ronnie and / or Ray, I think) who used to do it for people they know. Probably just to pick up a bit of gas money.

Yeah, the pool is very nice. We are renting the apartment (2 bedroom) from an italian dude we found online, about 300 USD a week. Air con, TVs in both rooms, full kitchen. Overlooking the ocean but no beach. The area is a bit rough but we are doing fine. Taxis are about 300-400 pesos anywhere in the city. Motoconchos are 20-50 pesos locally. There is a market close. We found two sisters in a local dicotec and when we inquired as to the price. I was told "no soy una prostituta" Sweet. One is washing our clothes, the other is cooking up some food. Yesterday we visted an orphange to give back a little and they were a great help getting us there. By the way, dominica orphanage could use some help if any of you guys are in the area,

(close to the airport, search google). I tried to upload some photos but the file sizes are too large, I'll work on it later.

Does anyone know if Hostal Zapata does not permit chicas during the day & do they charge a fee to bring one in?

Yes they do. I am booked in there from Sept. 26 throught the 30th. I have asked about that and Roberto has replied by email that they do. If a chica spends the night, there is a $10. 00US charge as they would be considered an additional person in the room that night.

Sounds great. Never seen posts about that area before. Are the chicas in the area or do you have to go further into SD to find them? On Google Earth there doesn't appear to be a beach, though it has a nice pool.

Yes, many chicas in the area. Have a local show you where the discotecs are. Liter sized beers are 100 pesos in the bars. Giant plates of BBQ are 150 on the street. Not many tourist here, just Italian expats.

Ok guys,

So I have never been to Boca Chica or the Dominican republic until I arrived with my wingman on the 3rd. I looked around and found prices at 1500 Road +. I had some references to a club that told me 150USD, it just pissed me off so I left Boca Chica and went to a place a bit west of Santo Domingo (less tourist) named Costa Azul. We got an apartment and I have had a great experience as of yet. So far 3 GFE's and the wingman is nailing a 500 peso chica as we speak. I think the thing here is this. If you are a wealthy old man, bestto pay the high dollar chicas and be safe. If you are young and have a wingman. If you are willing to put up with an area that is a bit less safe than a secured compound, then get the hell away from the tourist and get free or almost free chicas. I don't claim to be an expert on this but I have been around. The amount of post here does not equate to a person who knows. Sometimes it is the opposite. Although, I am somewhat young (30's) I think that for someone with less retirement income and more hard earned money, the way to go would be to avoid the tourist. The one girl I did spend time with in boca chica was hot but I spent alot of time looking and it was a pain in the ass. Where I am now, I could find any chica for 1500 easy. Depends on who is looking I guess. Of course, I pay more attention to security and I always bring a local with me bar hopping.

I have some awesome memories of that place. But haven't been to BC for more than five years.

Does anyone who's been to BC recently know if the bar's open on a regular basis?

I have some use-them-or-lose-them airline miles, and am considering going back.

Flemming has closed it (he does allow a Dominican to rent out beach chairs and provide beverages from other sources, however for all purposes it is dead on arrival-some days the Domincan does not show up and or leaves for extended periods).

I thought someone one here had a link to where you can get the best rate to exchange your money? Where is the cheepest place to trick at in boca chica. I saw a link for map and it appears that only the pink house has the lowest prices. Does anyone know where else there is to go?

Thank every that had responded back. I got some good intel!
