250 pesos is like 8$. thats not bad at all. Do you have to bargain? usually from POP airport to Sosua is like 25$, so I was thinking more in those lines.

I checked carrentals.com. Budget has cars for $20 a day but the taxes and fees are like 40$ even if you are renting for a day. The same site offers collision damage insurance for 11$ a day which is much less than if you buy from budget. So its like 70$ +gas to go around STI and drive to POP the next day.

I am flying in from Chicago to STI next week and flying back out of POP. So I was going to take caribe tours from STI to Sosua and then I had the car rental thought. I have done some driving in DR, from SD to Boca chica and little bit in Sosua, to caberte etc. Driving at night on the highways is pretty hard so I only plan to do that during the day. My spanish is pretty limited and i am traveling solo this time.

How much is a taxi ride from STI airport to Aloha sol? I am spending one night in STI before I leave to POP. Wondering if I should rent a car instead of paying taxi from airport to aloha, aloha to pasions and back. I can then drive the car to Sosua next day and drop it off at POP airport. I checked with carrental site and there is no additional charge to dropping off at POP.

Much intra city transfers cost from 100 to 150 pesos, to Passions which is outside the city can cost up to 250 pesos.

I may be in Santiago this month. I promised Big Up, photos of Passions, so I may take a trip to see the place. I also have some friends in Santiago.

I have no clue on taxi prices in Santiago. I will be driving a car rental.

What prices are they giving you for a one day rental?

When I drove at night in Santiago, I never saw Policia Nacional stopping cars. I read recently that policia nacional are stopping cars in Santiago at night, I am not sure if it is true.

Renting a car or taking a taxi, will depend on how much drinking you want to do, and if you want to have to deal with the police if they pull you over after you have had a few beers. I haven't been in Santiago in a while, so I don't know if the policia nacional there are becoming like the ones in Santo Domingo. I will still drive.

Jet Blue prices from new york (jfk) to sti is $100 each way plus taxes, $6 dollars cheaper than SDQ.

Watch out for the Passion girls. Last year I took a girl from there LT after discussing with the boss. Usually they do not allow.
But to my dissappointment this girl is a runner. After spending couple of hours with me she wanted to go home saying one thing or the other. i got tired of her rambling and let her go. after an hour I went to classico and there she was happily hunting. She had a guilty look but who cares. I took another girl from there who turned out to be a sweetheart.

Good post. Most car rental companies are not open 24 hours at the airports in DR. Alamo at Santo Domingo Airport is open 24/7. Some of those chicas are like bears hibernating for the winter when they hit the bed. Nice air conditioned, quiet room is something many don't have on a daily basis.

How were the rooms at Passions in Santiago?

Just got back from DR.

I just want to say thanks for all the info you guys shared. Well first off my flight landed around 2am. Me and my friend had a reserve rental from nellyrac. When we finish passing through immigration there were different booths you could rent cars from. Come to find out that no one was at any of the rental car companies. We spoke to a few people that check bags right next to the rental booths, they told us to wait there about 20 minutes and someone would show up.

At this point me and my boy were getting impatient because we wanted to hit Passions in Santiago. My patience was wearing off quick. After waiting about 30 minutes and having no one show up we spoke to a few guys outside and they hook us up with a rental about 5 minutes away. We would have taken a taxi, but we would have no place to put our bags in the meantime, because we wanted to make it before they closed.

So we got get the rental by now its 3:10. Me and my boy is thinking about Passions and getting laid. We get to Passions about 3:25 and walk through the security clearance and the next thing we see is a butt naked chica on the middle of the stage. By this time all my frustrations and and anger from earlier had worn off. The Chica was hot. She was doing splits o the stage, nice body etc....me and my boy got a front row seat. It was no later than 5 seconds when two chicas approached and started grabbing on us.

Me as a long time monger was trying not to get with the first chica I see. I flirted a little bit and we told the girls we were going to the bathroom. That was our plan to shake off the aggressive chicas. There were definitly some dimes in there, I saw a few chicas that I would rate a 6 or 7, but for the most part the chicas were looking good. Also its true the minimum was $100 USD minimum to take out a chica. My boy opted to take one and I opted too. We had sex in just about every position in one of the cabins they have.

I actually did not know the chicas live in that place. Go figure? but anyway me and my boy was feeling good after our sessions. Right after that we drove to Sosua. We hit Sosua got some sleep and woke and started to hit a few bars in the afternoon. I forgot how aggressive the girls are in DR. I had to turn down 10 girls before I got to one. Sosua is definitly cheaper in my opinion, but I session with one chica and the deal was for two hours. We agreed for $35/2hrs. So we go back to my place and she immediately starts to show the goods. We took a shower, before we started washing each other she is sucking me off. So we do it in the shower and later in the bed. ( i want to ask you guys something, is it normal for chicas to take cold showers? every chica wanted a cold shower) Well back back to chica #1 in Sosua after we fuck in the bed the chica just starts laying there on the bed. I'm looking at the clock like WTF? we had a deal for only 2 hours. She starts to sleep. Most guys wouldn't mind, but I wanted a different chica and explore my options. I tried to be nice with this chica but and tried to get her to wake up, she kept saying si papi and sleeping again. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Well long story short, I noticed most of chicas that are feeling you want to stay with you no matter what the agreed price was. I managed to get Chica # 1 out of my hotel but I had to force her. I was just looking for a good time and not to wife up while I'm down there,............I will try to write some more of my trip

The Club is called Passion. It's a strip club/dance club.

I was there a few months ago. You can bang the girls in the rooms they have there for $100 or you can take them out for $150. From what I understand. For that price the club gets $50 and the girl gets the other $100. Crystals in Pop charges the same amount. I have yet to hear anybody on this forum say they got the girls out for anything cheaper.

Trust me you will not get it any cheaper unless your Dominican. You can, if you wish, deal with the ones that work the streets, which are on drugs or have the sickness. You can also go to the real clubs and try for the college girls, but they want you to spend 3 days and meet the family before they let down their defence. After 3 days you can get it for free. They all want the US Visa.

I went there with a few friends I didn't go there with the intention of paying that price, but after a few Presidents my wallet was the last thing I worried about. I wasn't leaving that place to go back to Hotel El Gran Almirante and masturbate over a few dollars. If you are stronger then me wait until you drive to Sosua the next day to pay the $2000 to $2500 peso rate.

If you can't wait. I recommend taking the girl out. #1 reason why, unless you want to see yourself on a porn tape. I here some of the rooms have hidden cameras for the girls protection. Good luck

Also they have a strip show that starts at 1am. The girls in this club rank from 7 to 10. The girls in there are the Hottest.

I have taken girls out of passions for less than that. I never pay more than $4000RD, and usually pay around $3500RD. Anything higher and she's sticking you with the clueless gringo tax. Of course, there are some variables. Such as your looks, and how well you speak spanish. But the average guy who speaks decent spanish shouldn't be paying more than 4000RD to take girls out of there.

[Jaosousa]

I'm actually going to miss the show at 1:00am. My flight arrives at 2:00am. I was hoping to hit a Passions since I heard its open most of the night.

If you are renting a car, make sure the car rental company is open at 2am. If you rent a car and go directly to Passions, put everything in the trunk, out of sight. Around 4am most bars start to close and people go home. I don't know if your plans are to stay up all night and then drive to Sosua. If you are at passions when it closes, and you still want to explore, you could probably head over to Casa Blanca or Ilusiones. Some casas don't care, at what hour the client shows up at their doorstep. Casinos stay open late, they usually shut down around 6am. Be careful with pros you may see walking around the big white monument in Santiago. Many of those pros are transvestites.

Thanks Bigup, Even though the prices are high, I will see what it is about, I feel the same way you do, why should i pay $100 for 1 or 2 hours when I can get it cheaper elsewhere in DR. But I will report back on the scene. Thanks for the info.

Always remember that cab drivers and male hotel employees are good source of information, there should be cheaper choices in the city.

Passions is the place you can see near the plane wing.

Passions seems like it is the best option. From reading the posts, appears the best time for passions is around 1AM, for the strip shows. What time of the day are you arriving into Santiago?

Thanks again, you have been a big help. I know you said you have not been to Passions, but is that the hottest club in Santiago? That's what I heard from reading about it, but I will definitely take your directions. After I head from Passions I will drive over to Sosua. I also agree with you a $100 is a bit high for a few hours in DR. Are there any other strip clubs you recommend that you might have been too?

I will definitely give you a report back on whats happening in Passions.
