La Romana

[Darwin]

Small update on La Romana, where I decided to stay before heading to the PUC airport the next morning.

I asked around for the Urban bar since I like grande culos. It has been renamed to Rumba. There's a big luminous sign with a big italic M in yellow surrounded by RU and BA in red. Maybe they only bought a new M and recycled the other 4 letters? Anyways, I was there around 10pm on a Friday, wasn't impressed by the waitresses, their culos, the venue, the sound level (ouch!) nor the crowd (40 men, maybe 3 with chicas and a group of 3 chicas by themselves). Accross the street, Tony had slightly more people, but again a really high ratio of men to women. If anyone is looking, they are located at the corners of Gaston Ferrando Deligne and Eugenio Miranda.

Walking back to my hotel (Hotel Olimpo, basic room but can't complain for 1600 pesos with AC, there even some basic food included at dinner and breakfast) , I passed in front of Terraza Nuevo Ambiente, which turned out to have about 20 chicas, all available for p4p and quite a bit of local guys hanging around. I really appreciated the sound level of the music, it was actually possible to have conversations there. One girl quoted me 1300 pesos for 'un rato', but I told her she was too skinny for me. Another one better to my taste quoted me 1000 pesos, I might have been able to bargain but didn't even try. 300 pesos for a the "room". I'm putting quotes as it's more of a shack; I should have asked for take out options oh well. Apparently it's open all day, like 10am (noon on sundays) to 2am. It's located on Calle Pedro Lluberes, south of Amado Guerrero (about 7 small blocks from the Olimpo).

Stayed at the Hotel Vecchia Caserma, February 2013. Paid $70US per night for two people. Good A/C, my room on the second floor had a vaulted ceiling, free wifi, very peaceful location. It is located 5-10 minutes east of the La Romana Airport. When driving east on the new coral highway (in the direction of punta cana), get off the exit that says "Boca Chavon" follow the signs for La Estancia golf resort (the highway exit is near the entrance for La Estancia. Make a left onto the old roadway when you see the entrance for La Estancia and about 300 feet down that road you will see the entrance for the Hotel Vecchia Caserma).

Vecchia Caserma is Italian for something like old barracks and the buildings were previously owned by the Dominican Government and used for a horseback division of the police or army. The old stable building and riding track are visible.

There is a restaurant that has Italian food and there is good coffee at the hotel. Breakfast is included in the room rate. When I was there I saw some American medical professionals who had Southern accents, who were providing their services at a local hospital free of charge, (nice people, I saw some with scrubs on getting ready to leave the hotel for the hospital at 7am). There was another American guy with a Southern accent, who seemed to be in the process of selling his Dominican cattle ranch to a guy with a British accent for $2 million US.

Workers are very friendly at this hotel and there is one Dominicana who is very pretty, with a name similar to a character from a Charles Schultz comic strip.

The owner has a small garden where he grows spinach, tomatoes, eggplant, parsley, which is probably used in the restaurant.

Dude, are you serious? Highly recommended at $170. An hour? I can get laid in the USA for that kind of money, geezus. To each his own though, hope you had a good time.

From the Casa de Campo webpage: "Free airport transfers from Punta Cana, La Romana and Santo Domingo to Casa de Campo this fall. New roads and expressways are soon opening from the Punta Cana through to Santo Domingo. On Wednesday, August 8th, the ribbon will be cut to open the new 'Autovia del Coral' – or Coral Highway, making the transfer from the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) to Casa de Campo only 45 minutes and the transfer from Santo Domingo's Las Americas International Airport (SDQ) 60 minutes. Casa de Campo's own international airport (LRM) is now a 5 minute transfer to the main Lobby." http://casadecampo.com.do/

170 I want 3 chicas for sure.

There are some fine chicas in Klimax (last time I was there, the Scores sign had been removed, maybe they put it back up). One chica told my wingman $150, he said no, she quickly dropped her price to under $100. There were a few fine chicas inside Klimaxx that I would have considered paying $100 for, if I had not already busted nuts outside that place, with other chicas.

That's 6500 pesos for an hour. I would want a woman with me for a week (24/7) for that money. That's a month's wages for many people in the DR.

Basically It seems the place to meet chicas in Bayahibe is outside the Colmado. It seems that a lot of people work the tourist biz in Bayhibe but live in La Romana, so right after work hours there will be lots of girls outside the Colmado waiting for the Gua Guas to go home. The last Gua Guas leave around 7 or so. After that, pretty much all the girls left hanging around outside the Colmado will be available for P4P. Some of them look like hardened pros and if you look like an obvious foreigner, they will be on you like white on rice. I looked like a local so I was able to sit back and observe the scene a bit and pick out a girl who seemed a little more laid back. I approached, we chatted a bit, then we went to a local spot, had a couple of Presidentes, danced a few bachatas and headed back to my room for a few hours of fun.

The thing to know is that the Colmado closes around 9 and the scene dries up pretty quickly after that. My chica told me that the girls all go to the Casino Diamante after that to continue looking 4 business. I didn't go but I'm assuming it will be all the same girls plus some more who don't bother with the Colmado. You will need your own transportation or a taxi to get to the Casino from Bayahibe but it seems that is where you will have to go if you don't want to start your night on the early side.

Starz Disco Bar on the main road into Bayahibe, located near a small electrical sub-station, is another place where sometimes pros hang out.

Hotel Bayahibe will rent out a room for a few hours, for guys staying at an All Inclusive Hotel. Hotel Bayahibe is clean and secure.

Lots of Italians in Bayahibe.

Public Beach in Bayahibe is located near one of the wyndham all inclusive hotels, has parking spaces, a restaurant and politur patrol there. Bayahibe Beach is nice.

Located about 30 minutes from Bayahibe is the small fishing village of Boca de Yuma, lobsters and other seafood can be purchased there. The road to Boca de Yuma passes cattle ranches, different types of cattle can be seen grazing in the fields there.

As you report the Colmado Bayahibe, located near where the gua guas park, is a spot to meet chicas.

Klimax is now called "scores". The girls are and average of 5-8 with some looking like crack hoes.

Prices are 160. 00 for 2 hrs with 1 pop included. There is a place that calls itself a "car wash" about a 1/4 mile away on the main road.

Le Pusse Car Wash on the main road near the traffic light, also Deseo on the main road in the other direction. The sign for Scores can be seen on the main road, Scores is located about two blocks off the main road.

Urban Bar has some big ass bartenders who will step off their presidente beer crates and come to dance with a customer. Tony Bar is across the street from Urban Bar. Marinellys was the nicest bar when I visited La Romana. New street signs in La Romana which show the direction of car travel, which is nice. Power does go out on the street lights in La Romana City, might be a good idea to have a small one LED light.

I am hoping that is pesos?

$160US Dollars. When I was in Scores (Klimax) , my wingman was quoted $150US, but the chica quickly dropped her price. I visited Scores twice. Over a year ago, I saw some very fine chicas there, very aggressive chicas when you walk in the place, the chicas mobbed me and my wingman. I had five chicas feeling me up when I walked in the place.

Came across this. Some might find interesting. Enjoy-THEKIDD.

I believe flights from New York to La Romana start in November, Jetblue had an introductory rate of $99 each with way, plus taxes and fees.

Also Jetblue will be flying from Boston to Santiago, Dom Rep, starting soon.
