If you have someone that you can get along with and don't mind spending your money on them it is nice to have someone with you.

Posts: 9Hey guys,
I can not remember where on the ISG board I read about latinamericancupid. Com as a place to find amateurs, but I have spent some time on the site, and the Dominicans are all extremely aggressive. Has anyone else ever tried to exploit the site to meet up with Dominicans?
I have experience in other countries such as Peru, and Colombia. I met with several amateurs who were not difficult to get back to the hotel room. Not sure about why the Dominicans are so aggressive seeking out guys on the site, as I've never been there, but maybe someone has some past experience they could share?

Posts: 144Apartment Rentals in the DR
I've gotten several PM's asking about info on apartments as a result of mentioning them in my semi-recent report on Santo Domingo. I am far from an expert and any input would be helpful. I only rented apartments in SD and Sosua, both good experiences which resulted in saving money.
On both occasions, I used TripAdvisor. TA owns FlipKey, and that's what I used. In Santo Domingo, I rented an extremely spacious apartment in Gascue. 1000+ square feet, nice area near the Malecon and the historic district. It was a gated complex that seemed to consist of mostly expats, though it was mostly empty when I was there. There's parking and a security guard, though no problems having visitors. It was a tad cheaper than a hotel, but I felt there was a lot more freedom. It was $69 / night. If that was the only fee, it would be great, but add on a bunch of stupid add on fees, like $25 clean up fee and an application fee. Plus, you pay electric. While there was no 28% (?) tax, the bullshit fees were kind of a trade off.
In Sosua, the fees weren't nearly as onerous and the apartment was cheaper. Also they had a great swimming pool.
Take care when using Flipkey. Take the reviews with a grain of salt. For example, I became friendly with the agent for the apartment in Gascue. I told him I was going to give it 4 stars, not 5. It didn't merit 5 stars and I wasn't going to bullshit. The only reason I told him beforehand was I want to be able to rent that apartment again. He asked me not to post the review if I wasn't going to give it 5 stars. So, these reviews can be manipulated.
I found that by talking directly to the agent (or owner) is a good way to get a feel for what to expect. The agent for the apartment in Sosua came recommended so that was a no brainer. The apartment was fantastic. The only problem was it was incredibly hot in Sosua at the time and there was only 1 AC, not enough. Otherwise, it was a fantastic deal.
As mentioned by another member, there are many rental sites out there and one shouldn't be confined to Flipkey. For example, the other member's examples, are airnb, northbeachmanagement dot com, bestsosuarealestate dot com and apartments dot com.
My guess is that apartment rentals are only prevalent in the bigger cities / towns and tourist areas.

I have only seen and been with DR and HAITI girls. High end sex resorts had european and other girls on their website. Do not know if they are still open or if they have those girls.

Commonly used among native speakers, usually friends with a friendly tone of voice and a laugh, but with a stranger and a sterner tone of voice it's a very direct and aggressive way to address the situation.
I would only recommend it as the last verbal warning before throwing her out.

Hi,
Apart from Dominicanas and Haitians, are there any other nationalities available for P4P in the DR? I'm not talking of high-end hookers from E. Eur. Or the US, but maybe Jamaicans, Guyanese, or Colombians, Venezuelans, etc.

On that note, I keep hearing about this elusive campo women. As described by the likes of Charles Pooter, who even stated they are unshaven. Would be nice to pick up such a country belle! On that note and along the lines of Mr Enternational's thinking, it must have been nice to be a seaman on the Bounty, heck even Gauguin had a great time centuries later. LOL!

Posts: 6Thanks on the car idea, so I can give them a ride. I just meant less touristy areas and nothing offensive, and I realize they are people and have seen people before.
Thanks for reminding me though!

Posts: 6Campo Girls and do I need a guide?
I will be coming in for a week, and would like to get to Bonao, and other towns along the coast and see other places, and meet less experienced girls. My Spanish is passable, but not perfect (especially their version of Spanish). Should I go solo and rent a car, or hire a guide?
Thanks
