2002-2004 Archived Santo Domingo Reports

[Prtyr2]

One of the trickiest things for newbie mongers in santo domingo is locating all the Casas and MPs. I have created a map of the gazcue area of SD, and also list the address and phone numbers of each place. A guy could walk to 8-10 places all within the same area.

Also many of the places are unmarked with no signs etc, so I set up a photo gallery to posy pics of the exteriors of the Massage Places. That way mongers can see what the place they will be looking for looks like.

I've only posted pics of 4 of the places so far, but am trying to get back down to take more pics and gather more info. I think having all the contact and location info for casas in Santo Domingo will help.

I have also started listing massage places in the western part of santo domingo and the eastern part as well. There is also a list of night clubs, casas and strip clubs. All those lists will be updated regularly and added to during my next trip.

If any members here have pics of casas or MPs in the DR, or know of any establishments not yet listed, PM me the info and I will get it up there ASAP.

Sociopata. . .yeah that place near the acropolis was cool, but I prefer sitting and mingling with all the chicas. I choose on personality not just by looks.

I think many of these businesses in the DR are set up for the Dominican clients, and don't realize that different people like different approaches.

I have seen Dominican guys walk in, the girls line up, he picks one. Then he pays the bill, goes to the room and is gone an hour later.

Soemof these places need "training" or "consulting" services. One time in Spa Geisha Paradise I was speaking to the owner, and she was telling me all the things that make Geisha unique. She mentioned having a shower upstairs in the bar and you could tip a chica to get naked and take a shower. Sort of tame, but different.

I told her that I was there the week before and a buddy of mine asked the bartender about the exact same thing. He wanted to pay 500 pesos for a chick to get in the shower. The owner was pissed! She marched upstairs and sat the chicas down and explained that they get to keep any tips and guys are more likely to stick around or get massages if the girls do a little show.

The girls looked at me like they were mad. I jumped in and said we had a great time. My buddy went back 2 days later and got a massage. The girls would dance around the poll, with onevery cute one wearing no panties and "accidentally" flashing us from time to time.

I explained to the girls that in the US, guys pay money just for lap dances etc. That if they danced or flirted more, they would get more business. I was sure they didn't understand.

But. . . . .a week later I returned. Same 6-7 girls and one dominican customer. The bartender put on some sexy music and the cute panty less chica started danicng very sexy. She literally looked like she forgot people were watching. They turned down the lights. She got really into it, started rubbing herself. Lifter her skirt. Then laid on the florr writhing around. Finally the skirt came off, and she stood up. The dominican guy called her over and untied her top. Now she was daning totally naked, and she looked horny as hell. So did some of the other girls

When the music stopped, it was like she woke up. She looked over at me, and covered her face. She said "i'm embarassed" in spanish. I gave her 200 pesos which at the time was like 4 dollars.

The very next time I was in the place. They put on music, and she climbed up on the bar. Dancing and stripping totally naked. I gave her 100 pesos. Then the next girl got up and did the same thing. Each and every girl did the same thing, it was cool. 2 bucks each time a cute girl dances naked in my face? Sign me up!

I was living with a novia at the time and never mongered as I was happy with what I had. Once I broke up with the novia, I immediately went back to geisha to find the gril that never wore panties!!

Unfortunately she wasn't there and there was a whole new bunch of girls. I guess I will have to train them as well.........

The MPs make more money on drinks in some cases, so a more proactive approach would be better. The places where the girls line up and if you don't pick one immediately, go back to sitting on the couches or sleeping. . . . .need to learn how to "market" better.

The one time I was at the place near the acropolis, the girls did a runway walk, then stoof behind the kitchen counter. I was in the mood to check it out so I had an 18 year old with killer body sit down with me. It is very rare for me to do that. . . .

"2500 pesos for an 1hr15mins.?" Isn't that about $100.00 U.S. now? Last March it was 1500 pesos and about 40 bucks. What has happened to D.R.? The price has more than doubled in less than a year?? Why leave home? For $150 bucks I can get the same thing in the states and not have to buy a plane ticket or take off work to do it.

2.500 pesos are actually about $ 50 bucks!

Have fun jhh

[Prtyr2]

Elegante alwasy quotes high prices. They are very close to the Intercontinental Hotel and the first place many tourists find. One day there wa sa gringo sitting at their bar. He asked how much for the girl to come to his hotel. They said 7,500 pesos. Crazy.

I think the places that are well known amongst tourists can try and gouge prices. Unfortunately in many cases they have the nicest looking talent.

I think onece more mongers start visiting places that are a bit more off the beaten path, those places can attract more stunners etc.

There are 2 types of gringos that visit these places. The guy that is in town on business or for vacation and only finds out about the MPs and casas from touts and taxis. These guys are easy marks for paying inflated prices The other type is the "monger" that does some research or has made a few trips all ready and knows the deal.

The taxia and "guide" commision system is a bad one. It is not good for the customers, not good for the business in the long term, only good for the "guides".

I plan to do my best to change that business model as much as I can.

[Sociopata]

Yeah dude, I went to the one near the Acropolis like 3 times, each time I went there was at least 2 really hot girls, that was my favorite place, 1000 pesos for 1 hour, everything included, the rooms where in the 2nd floor, and all the girls where very friendly. After I came back they closed the place. Sucks.

Amotu, it could be that spa stefani is moving. I don't know for sure. For now Estefani is very close to Mona Lisa and Michelle. I think they are on their 3rd owner now. The first guy was a Dominican that lived stateside for a while. Then there was a spanish guy that took over. He used to have a place not very far from the Acropolis. That didn't last long either.

The place by the Acropolis was weird. The girls would enter the sala one by one. Do a walkby and a turn around so you can check out the goods and then all hang out in the kitchen. The owner would then want you to pick one.

I prefer just hanging out and flirting and if I feel a chemistry will think about picking one.

Also Casa Princessa which was owned by a guy from Boston has closed down. Apparently the neighbors gave him a hard time etc.

Cisne is now owned by an american guy that also owned Alibi at one point. You should check them out. He had cute babes when he had Alibi. I am not sure if they followed him to Cisne.

Grand Pollo. . .. the taxi drivers I am talking about are friends. They know that I know more places in Santo Domingo than they do. It also doesn't matter to me if they get kickbakcs as RP always charges 2,000 pesos regardless. They have no reason to lie but as with most things in SDQ, things change.

It could be that they stopped for a while and started again, or vice versa. I also notice that unlike 2 years ago, if I just grab a taxi off the street. . . . .they NEVER mention RP any more. Modelos and Pablitos.

Smile1974,

I visited Elegant Center (Calle Pasteur, #17 - side street of the Hotel Intercontinental) for the first time today. Lots of touts on the street trying to get me to go into the other places. There were about 15 chicas there when I got there at 4:30pm. They were all doable and about 8 of them stunners - various sizes, complexion and attitude. I got quoted $RD3000 for 1hr15mins. I lowered it to $RD2500 without batting an eye. I am sure I could have holded out for $RD2000 because there were few customers but I was so horny for the chica I picked that I went for it. The chicas were friendly and laid back without a lot of sales pressure, I like and recommend.

On the same street is Spa Cisne (#21) and another casa open but still under construction (#23 or 25) One tout handed me a card for Spa Estefani and pointed to the unmarked door of the casa still under construction. Maybe the same owners.

Enjoy,

Almotu

Many taxi drivers have told me Remington no longer pays commisions. I do know that 2 years ago, RP was the first place any taxi would suggest. Now they all suggest Modelos and Pablitos.

If I were a Dominican cab driver I would tell you that too so yo'd use my taxi. They pay commissions.

[Almotu]

Prtyr2,

I speak basic high school spanish. So far, the chicas that I have been with all complimented me on my spanish (don't know if they are lying or not though)

Thanks for all your tips concerning the MPs and taxis, I appreciate it. After tonight, RP closes for Christmas and will reopen 12/28. I did get a phone number from the cute chica last night so I will hopefully hook up with her on Thursday and Friday if the MPs turn out to be a bust.

I am gonna use your map right now. Wish me luck.

Almotu, if you want to try a "bargain" that may have some hidden jewels, try sueno real. They have specials on mon tues and wed . . . .600 pesos for a sencillo. Basically massage and BJ for 600 pesos. Usually the quality is not great but they get lucky once in a while. Last time I was there there was one cute girl and one japanese girl. . . .may be worth 600 pesos!

Great map Prtyr2.

Are you familiar with those pricing too?

One more question: will these MP lry you take for TLN and the prices?

Almotu, that map is just of the gazcue area,and the only night time places are Tabu, Lapsus and Aurora. I will be adding more info and maps very soon.
If you are at the courtyard 100 pesos to RP. Have the front desk call taxi Lino 687 3333. They are a radio company with set rates. The taxi driver does not make up their own price. At RP you can give a bartender that number and ask him to call them for you. The cabs waiting outside Remington will charge more.

Tipping is fine, but realize that RP gives the girls half of the 2000 pesos. If you tip 800, and the girl only stayed 2 hours or less. . . . . . .not worth that tip, in fact tipping is not necessary at all. Cab fare is all. As I said 100 pesos back to remington. I have given 200-300 for taxi fare but NOT after the girl leaving after 1.5 hours.

You'll learn the ropes. It is not about the few dollars, it is about the taxi drivers or girls thinking you are a "target" etc.

If I was still down there, I'd offer to show you around.

Hermanos Villar is on the corner of independencia and pasteur. Easy walking to many places. Cisney has a new owner, elegante has some new girls and even 52 has some new ones. One in particular is tall, pretty and used to work at elegante.

Do you speak spanish? If so try spa geysha paradise ana josefa puello #39 328 5648

Most of the places are hit or miss, for christmas time, thinsg will be slow as with many casas the girls head home. You can try Modelos, Azul, Teresa and even Jazzys the strip club.

Zous,

I don't know if the taxi drivers are getting their kickbacks from RP or not. I don't really care if RP doesn't pass me the buck, you know what I mean. I have been to RP 4 nights in the last two weeks and the salida for a chica has remained $RD2000. Some girls try to up sell me and say that for $RD4000 they stay as long as I wanted (TLN til next morning, I guess) I never took the bait. The chicas on average stayed about 2 hours (ST). Last night, the chica cuddled with me and napped until 7 in the morning but then rushed off ranting about being late. She was really sweet but I did not get morning sex which was disappointing.

As for the exchange rate, I had been here since Dec 13th and the highest I got was $1=RD$29.30 (in a cambio on El Conde / Zona Colonial) and the lowest is RD$28.00 which I am getting from the front desk at the Courtyard Marriott on Maximo Gomez. I would worry about some fractional change in the exchange rate in the next month or so.
