Tempoecorto. Sorry you got robbed, but congratulations for having balls to admit that shit happens even to most experienced travelers.

SDQ airport mess and others.

[Tempoecorto]

Got to SDQ a couple of nights back. The flight was supposed to land at 7.20 PM, we landed at 6. 45 PM. Euphoria! Hmm, the A/C at the airport does not work, there were about 300 people at the immigration counter because thanks to the US, there are now fingerprinting all in this place as well and the line moved at a snail's space. After about 70 minutes, I got out by which time, the crowd was almost over. Imagine, it was only one place load!

Got out and went to the departure deck and found a goy willing to take me to Boca Chica for 500 pesos in his car and so we left. Got around to BC center and found a spot at Casa Coco $33 but no TV which is the reason for me to take it.

Went out for dinner at the pizza place next to Suiza something. Damiano, the owner, actually was making the pizza. In any case, I asked for a plate of spaghetti al dente, aglio olio, peperoncino with a Presidente. Followed that up with a nice espresso. Excellent meal; went to bed by myself.

Next morning changed some money at Caribe 45.8 to the greenback. Got a concho to take me to Andres, had my clothes dropped at a laundry, bought some mangoes at the veg market and had a haircut and a shave for 200 pesos left the lad a 100 pesos for a beer. Never had a shave at a barber not to speak of his rate and he did a plum job.

Got robbed: around three PM felt hungry and went down to the street. Met this one with big bosom who wanted to show me her place on Duarte, dragged me and then her friend joined in. One touching my dick in front and the other picking my back pocket which felt like touching my butt, in order to persuade me. I left because I was not interested and went to eat at Acqua e sal or perhaps agua why sal. I ordered a "frittura mista de pesce" which included calamari, shrimp and fish fried with a side of papas salteada. The meal was excellent as I did expect and then after the coffee, I dug into my back pockets for the money first one, then the other and came up with. Nothing which is when I understood, I have been had. The classic trick and finally I am the sucker after all these years and in broad daylight too (a good summary of Boca Chica). I told the woman at the restaurant the situation and she let me go to the hotel for the money. I came back, paid and went to the police station near the park to file a "denuncia" and then returned with two officers and 5 others in their jeep to where these women apparently lived and I have been had. The good news is that I did not have my wallet and about 4000 pesos in bills. The woman apparently is well known and we will see what happens to the process after I brought the document to the fiscalia, if anything. But it was funny to see seven guys in uniform marching in. Some carrying big shot guns.

At 6 pm, went back to the airport to get my rental, which was another funny experience. The rental place is inside and cops are sitting at the gate. I had to scream at them so one took me inside to the rental counter. Driving back, entered BC through Andres again and at the intersection of autopista, see a woman walking briskly with her earbuds plugged in. Waved at her and she stopped and we spoke for a few minutes she was out walking as exercise. 32 with two kids, gave me her phone number but was not available right then. Nice boobs which I touched quickly as she brushes off my hand.

Disheartened, I drive along. It is almost getting dark and people are walking running etc, as I go around the rotary in Andres and head towards Boca Chica. Wave at two girls, one stops to speak and gives me her number but "not now".

I go back to the hotel and decide to go out again in search but keep it out of Boca Chica. Head out to Andres, by now it is dark and driving through the area finally land at the densely populated intersection with autopista. Plenty of food carts in sight, music blaring a la DR and lot of fried chicken. I parked and walk around to explore the area but nothing that catches my attention. As I head back towards my car, see a very dark skinned woman, flashing me a smile when I wave at her. She goes on to speak with a woman sitting in front of perhaps a "drink" with blaring music. As they both look at me, I wave the one to come to me. She does and I tell her, "let's go for a ride". She thinks over and says bye to her cousin and gets in the car. The rest I leave to your imagination but my dick is happy. Damage: 1150 pesos.

Later at night, I take the younger girl who had given me her number and had already responded on whatsapp, to a pizza, who came with her friend and I drooped both at their house in my car. She will need more working.

P.S: Photos separately loaded.

I saw the report and decided to stay there. Place is pretty nice. Short walk to everything. Chica friendly. They give you a swipe card. Make sure you book the mall one. Stayed one night on the other side. Wasn't to bad but dated. Manager was really nice. Stayed at Rig in Santo Domingo. Staff was really good. Would definitely stay there again.

Thanks for that!

Nah. Garant apparently is like New Garden in Sosua, I have never had any need for such a place. I have stayed at casa coco in Boca Chica. A French owner and I liked it. This other one, I have it on booking.com but was curious about the chica friendliness, reason why I posed the question.

Thank you.

The Web site say it has "pet friendly accommodation" so I think you will be OK with a pussy or two, as I cannot imagine many tourists showing up with dogs or ferrets. Actually I suspect that "pet friendly" is intended to be a code for something else. The reviews of the hotel all seem to be written by men.

[Tempoecorto]

I've never heard of it and not sure where it is on Duarte. This should help though http://www.bocachicaplaya.com/hotels.htm the Garant that Camaro talks about in his write up is pretty popular with many guys who go there. I know a few guys who always stay at the Garant when they go, just a block or so up from Duarte.

Grown man and Chris Long. What if anything, do you think of the Hotel RIG Venecia Mall. I see it is right on Duarte and was curious. Thanks again. By the way, if any of you are around Boca, Sunday 14th, let me know.

Camaro in Boca Chica again.

Purpose of the trips.

I have been spending more time in Santo Domingo it is a pleasant diversion from Puerto Plata so while in the Capital it's only a 40 minute drive over to Boca Chica and I have a good friend who lives there. Flying out of Las Americas is much more economical than Gregorio Luperon so I can stay a couple nights in Boca Chica or the Capital and fly out and kill 2 birds with one stone.

On my last trip I went home to celebrate with my son on the occasion of his first child. It was great to spend time with family but the Dominican Republic has become my home. It's weird how many things I dislike about this country but she is like my sexy wife who gets on my nerves but I am not ready for a divorce.

Hotel Garant.

This most recent trip I stayed at Hotel Garant which is a short walk to Calle Duarte. I have stayed there countless times and it just feels comfortable. They will fix breakfast for you but they don't have much of a kitchen or restaurant however there are a plethora of places to eat in Boca Chica. The rooms are basic but comfortable. They have queen size beds flat scree TVs and a refrigerator. You can easily get a room for about $50.00 per night and I am always treated well by the staff.

Piano Bar & Agua why Sal Restaurant.

There are plenty of places to eat and chica watch on Calle Duarte but the Piano Bar is one of the primary chica gathering places and I always enjoy the food and Agua why Sal restaurant which is next door. I can sit at Piano Bars tables and order my dinner from Agua why Sal and have the best of both worlds.

Talent.

Boca Chica is no Sosua as far as quantity and quality but you can get the job done. I would surmise in comparison some would conclude Boca Chica chics are less attractive. One thing I have noticed is that Haitians have a little different attitude in Boca Chica than Sosua. It seems as if there are a handful that are popular with the European crowd so since they get top dollar they are a little more flashy.

I offered one Dominicana 2000 pesos and she laughed at me saying "no salgo con nadie por 2000 mil pesos. " She said she gets 4-6 k. I told her I wasn't paying 4 k for 15 minutes of sex and she just looked at me with a blank expression. I have seen her since and she now looks at me with a curious look on her face and I just smile at her. She's real sexy light complexioned with an almost perfect hour glass figure she states she is half Colombian and half Dominican so she might get a higher price than the average Boca Chica chic. I might take a swing at her again.

Conclusion.

Boca Chica is a decent diversion from the North Coast so I will stop by occasionally. Recently I met a chic who was cool when we talked at the Piano Bar so I pulled the trigger. Sex was decent but she insisted on CBJ but she wanted a propina. The CBJ actually was very good but I wasn't giving her a propina. We did the stare down in my room for about 5 minutes and she finally relented fussing. There are risk in Boca Chica like every place else but I enjoy the diversion.

My flight gets to SDQ at around 7.20 PM. I would like to think that by 8 PM, I would be ready to get out of the airport. What is the best bet to get to Boca Chica center from the airport at that hour safely? Also any (no hassle) hotel suggestion around the Parque central and price?

Thanks

GrownMan is right on his advice.

As soon as you exit the airport the taxis will be there they ware yellow shirts and hold up signs that say Taxi. They will tell you its $40 but if you negotiate and are willing to walk away you will probably be able to get it for $25. I have never paid more than $25 for the ride. Its only about 15 or 20 minutes from the airport to the strip in Boca. The hotel I think Grownman is referring to is the hotel Madera $40 a night for a standard room. I've stayed there a few times its ok good location being right between the beach and the strip Duarte. Bad Wi-Fi except for in the lobby a bit noisy in the mornings because of all of the activity from the beach.

Beach the park and along the strip during the day for chicas. Piano bar in the early evening and after about 1 am disco Batey. But generally any where along the strip during the evening. Heavy concentration of Euros in Boca especially Italians, most American expats hang out at the Boat House during the day, Its at the far end pretty much across from where disco Batey is. You will know its the right place because all of the Massage girls wearing white uniforms hang out in front offering massages during the day.

Cab. They will try to charge 20 - 40. $15 if you are being hard. There is hotel on the corner of the park. It's OK think they are asking 45-55.

Wrx2005 gives good advice. If you are staying in a location longer than a few days keep in mind that if you do what he says after a short while they will stop bothering you. You'll be recognized as a guy who's just not interested and they don't want to waste their time.

Boca Chica and Sosua are small towns. Within a few days everyone will know you.

Also look at it from their POV. They are entrepeneurs. They are trying to make a living. Appreciate they are just doing due diligence in asking you if you want to buy something. It's not easy. They aren't having fun asking you either.

Relax. It's just a free market. If you don't want it just say no. After a short time they won't ask anymore.

Great report, should be read by everyone and be in Reports of Distinctions.

Yes indeed, a nice report, full of useful hints and well written. Definitely belongs in the hall of fame, I. E. Reports if Distonctions section.
