So, you don't need to "unwine" or "wine down"?

Hahaha. Too funny! I saw that too. But you beat me to it!

Well, most ( meaning > 51 percent ) of the guys who come to Sosua from the USA (in my personal experience watching the scene) are not there because of their English skills ( which by the way is so yesterday, anyway ) . ! On the other hand (no pun intended) , very importantly, they are fun guys!

Without them, we would be in boring land. And the chicas would not be there for you or I!

Well, I only party with them and the Sosua chicas at Classicos and 2 other clubs. And limit myself to non-pros and semi-pros from outside of Sosua via social websites. For the rest!

But, FWIW, for me, without the bros from the EC, Sosua would be stale, boring, antiseptic and without life! We'd only have the CP's and Oakie's of the world! Sorry, Charlie! Just kidding, mate! Oakie. You're on your own. Since you are wifed up for this century! LOL.

Yes instead of Medellin rum I drink wine.

Anyway I will post a report when I get back. I do like Cabarete and there's a guy that has a little bar in an alley, goes by the name Elvis. I will stop in there and also grab breakfast in Sosua at a place I think is called Havana club or something like that. Good bloody Mary's and food is always good. I always fuck the name up. Wilfred is in there many times in morning or afternoon smoking his cigarettes.

You go to "wine down?

There seem to be a few "generational differences".

When I first went to BB I though it was the best thing in the world then I woke up. I'm not knocking you but rap music is why you don't like Sosua? I don't know you age but you must be an elder. I'll go to BB to wine down after 3 or 4 days in Sosua other than that nah.

Well I know everyone likes different things. Personally I travel about every 2 months. The majority of it to Colombia because most areas don't start rocking to around midnight to the early morning hours, which I prefer. I go to DR about once every year and a half. Regardless of what your looking for its a good time but Sosua is not for me. I was going to DR 15 years ago. In my opinion I liked it back then. But similar to you with my last 10 trips to Colombia in less then 2 years, I am looking to wind down as you call it. So in End of Sept. I am heading to DR to wind down from my serious party country.

I wish I could help the other guy more with his trip options but it seems like he just wants to chill out during the day and have a girl handed to him at night. I like going out late at night in Colombia during the snowstorms and finding a hot Colombiana to have fun with (maybe even two) but this trip to DR is for easiness and rest. .

True, but I have been to just about every part of DR. I drove the entire island various times. I have never been to DR where I didn't rent a car. So I usually go out all day, then return around 5:30. Maybe stay in Cabaret one night. But all that blasting rap music in Sosua? Your rite to each his own. There's plenty of people in Sosua that enjoy that blasting rap music. They won't miss me.

My God the whole reason to travel to these countries is to have a great time, weather, beaches partying smoke etc it's fine just be careful, don't listen to people saying crazy shit (it's all there and reasonable in cost) the reason to travel to these places is that it's reasonable, why go if your getting ripped off. I hate all inclusives as far as food and chicks included. The money you mentioned is plenty. Do you speak Spanish? If you want to have a good time you have to do some work, that's part of the fun. Good luck but don't give anyone 1000. Deposit.

Whatever makes the guy happy, but you're right about the $1000 deposit. The $1000 is the cut for the guy who runs the website, who then passes the guy off to some Dominican. I am guessing that any problems that pop up, the Canadian has his money and has already washed his hands of the matter. If the exclusive, luxury villa turns out to be a nasty little fleabag dump, too bad. If the 9's and 10 from the website turn out to be 2's and 3's, too bad.

It might turn out to be paradise, the greatest thing you can imagine, but if it doesn't, don't expect a refund.

First and foremost I want to thank anyone in advance that can share some feedback and provide information.

I have decided to do one of these trips to the Dominican Republic. I am going to book this trip as a reward for myself getting through the next year of some BS that I just have to get through by July 2016. I have no options that will not allow for any down time or fun between now or then. This is essentially the carrot that I am dangling in front of my eyes once I reach the finish line.

A few parameters I am setting for myself are as follows. I want to keep my outlay for any package I spend at 4 k or under (not counting money I spend while on vacation). I want the ability of being able to have a different girl any time I want. I want the girls to be readily available and a small party type atmosphere and prefer the all inclusive option rather than having to hit the streets and clubs and pick them up. Yeah I know its easy but I don't want the headache. I also want some place that I can just unwind, have access to the best looking women, and smoke a lot (as my screen name would indicate) in peace during the day. I want the option to enjoy some nightlife at night such as local clubs, bars, and casino. If I am going to do this I don't want a three or four night stay. I want a 6-7 night stay to get better value.

I have been doing a lot of research and thought I had settled on a place but before I put down a deposit I want to evaluate all options. The place I decided on initially was My wild Vacation. I based my decision on the following:

http://www.mywildvacationdr.com

Pros: Good communication from the resort operator. A seemingly good selection of women. Actual website with pictures, reviews, and advice from past and for new guests. The ability to switch out women each night and also to try different women during the day. They offer a 6 night package that IMHO is a fairly reasonable cost. I can be there in two and a half hours with a direct flight out of Miami since I already live in South Florida.

There are some cons however and they would be as follows.

CONS: Resort seems to be 20 minutes away from nightlife and while they will do some evening outings its not every night. While I get my own sleeping accommodations I'm not sure how I feel about having to share the house overall. Sometimes I just want my zen time. I want to eat like a king all day every day (shrimp, fish, Caribbean lobster) and am concerned about the food options.

With living in South Florida I have easy access to flights out of Miami to many different destinations in the Caribbean. I can punt on the DR of there is a better option but so far this seems like a good country for this type of trip. I'm open to suggestions, your advice, and would love to hear your experiences of or any other place you advise that I look at.

I plan to keep this a running thread during my planning & booking process all the way down to a full review after I return complete with pictures.

Yeah might be filthy but living ground hog every day is boring. To each it's on.

[OldKool]

If I had no other options BB would be great. 10 guys sitting around all waiting for the same 2 or 3 hotties sucks after while. I am sure few things are as great as they were 15 ears ago. However Sosua has variety that I really enjoy. Seeing over a 100 young available girls is exciting to me. I like to dance and move around. I also like the food options in Sosua. Some day I may reach the point where I am more limited. While it lasts Sosua is one of the best mongering options in the world.

Black beards a headache? It's so nice and easy there. It's no headache. Sousa is a headache. Bunch of bums and scammers. Blackbeards is relaxing. No headache at all.

Sosua is one of the last places I go now. 90 percent dark loud music dirty filthy streets disgusting to what it was 15 years ago.

I just budgeted for my next vacation. My flight from DC area $360 to SD. (spirit air) Room for four nights $200 food $120 and $300 for two ladies a day 1500 pesos a pop. $1000 for a five day trip. Because I budget well I enjoy my self and can afford 3 or 4 trips a year. I will be eating ate baillys and other decent places. Sleeping in comfortable rooms.

[DominicanPete]

In Sosua many guys are smoking with no problems that I have seen. New Garden the smell of weed is very common. I enjoy a buzz every now and then. Going to classicos with a nice high is a great time. We all take risks to satisfy our desires. Casual sex with strange women is not a good idea according to many but we are all doing it. If you use common sence you will have no problem smoking a little weed. If some one decided beer was illegal would you stop. I do not drink but enjoy a smoke.

It's really no problem finding weed in the DR and I know I won't have any issue with consuming it if done discreetly. Hence why I am willing to pay the up charge for my own place away from the main hotel. The marijuana is the least of my concerns.

So now that we have established that lets get back to talking about options for which place I should consider for my vacation.

[Dickhead]

I have been smoking weed all over the world regardless of legality and have not had a problem in over 40 years of international travel, but you have to be discreet. Weed is for sure NOT legal Per, though. I have bought weed on the street in México, Perú, Argentina, Colombia (legal there though), Ecuador, Panamá, Guatemala, Costa Rica,Spain (both before and after it was legal and it is still not legal to buy it), Portugal, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. Maybe some others I cannot remember. But the poster in question was planning to blaze up in the hotel = NO!
