The reason I have only been to B / C so far is that it is cheaper and very close to the airport women are very hot and it is a party atmosphere. Sure they are some negative stuff like the tip seekers but you become wise to all that and they end up leaving you alone. Party like a rock star while your there.
I have been to Santo Domingo but the place's I went there all ask for way to many peso's for there chica's

The day to day operation was run by his wife and sister in law. His sister in law moved to New Jersey with her husband so I am guessing that the wife is now doing most of the business there. Mario used to pass by two to three times a week but never stayed too long.
As for selling apartments I did notice this since some of the buyers I happen to know or have met on my trips there.
Many hotels do not like mongers and try to move away from this crowd but cannot do so since mongers bring in so much business. The truth of the matter is that most of the problems in chica friendly hotels involves chicas with mongers. This is also true with hotels in Sosua. I've talked to some of the owners of these hotels and they said the same thing. Most of the problems involve chicas and mongers. That said, Rit Teach, I am thinking of going to Boca Chica soon. Any chica friendly hotel you can recommend to me besides Costa Lunga and Candil? I am actually more familiar with hotels in Sosua than in Boca Chica.

I usually stay at the Costalunga while in Boca Chica and highly recommend it. Not the best place I ever stayed but worth the $40 per night. The Costalunga is very girl friendly.
The rooms on the ground floor are two bedrooms with a stove and fridge. The ones on the pool side were very quite when I stayed there. The last two trips I was on the second floor facing west and there was a lot of noise on the street until about 1:00 AM. I believe there is a bar about half a block West of the hotel. One of the motococho guys said there were girls there but I never checked it out.

The hotel facilities included a pool, restaurant and Internet cafe. The thing I didn't like about the hotel at the time was that there was no bar, so you had to either hang out in the restaurant or lobby. Speaking of which, they typically had girls avail on-site.
As for noise, it's far enough away from the strip not to be a factor. However, there are some motoconcho's out front, so if you're really sensitive book a room on the back side.
Also, as side note re BC hotels, if you're on a budget and don't mind roughing it a little, I recommend the Casa Coco Hotel:

Doesn't bother me much. Think my room is about $65 a night. I also walked around and did a check of several other hotels just for a possible next trip. Costalunga apartments are pretty nice, simple but more than adequate and only $40 a day for one person. Costalunga is a few blocks from the beach but VERY nice and Quiet at night. There are some night noise issues at Zapata, mostly next door hotels and bars and some middle of the night dog barking issues.
I also checked out hotel Madjera (think spelling is close) and it is right on the beach and only $40 a night, similar to Costalunga, very basic but looks clean and no chica limitations. If Ihad dto do it again, I might try Madjera for a night or two and stay there if it was quiet at night (you never know since it is on the beach and all along the beach are restaurants and bars with sometime loud music going to the wee hours.) My next choice would be Costalunga and that might quickly escalate to #1 if it is dead quiet at night, which I think it is.
All for today. Back to the USA tomorrow and more report to follow then. If Ihave a chance I may check out Calypso but haven't seen it yet.

Looks like I've found a no-nonsense chica friendly hotel in boca chica. The calypso beach hotel seems cheap and ideal for my one day stay. Has anybody tried it?

That stretch of highway in boca chica has always been dangerous at night, if they've gotten that far to put in the reflectors great. It will make it much safer. What they need is the pedestrian bridges, I don't recall any on that stretch of road.

But I would recommend not using the ATM machines (and even less ones which are not outside a bank) , but using your debit card at the teller counter inside the bank. This has three advantages:
1) You can draw larger sums than at most ATMs.
2) No chance of your card getting mangled or eaten, and a lot less chance of it being criminally cloned.
3) You can tuck away your money and "adjust your clothing" in a safer environment than out on the street.
4) You can ask for small notes and coins. Change is often hard to come by in the DR and not having it can result in overpaying.
The disadvantages are that you can only do so during bank opening hours (which vary from bank to bank) and that you need to carry your passport (copies are not acceptable).

In Boca Chica the Banco Popular on Av Duarte just past the park is good for taking out large amounts like 10, 000 DOP. In the daytime this ATM is sometimes very busy and you might have to wait in line. Also the Banco Popular ATM might require you to use the Spanish menus. This is the bank I ususlly use in Boca Chica. I have also used the BanReservas which is near the Hamaca but I have never successfully withdrawn more than 4, 000 DOP per transaction and end up doing two transactions in a row. The English menus work at this ATM which is nice if you can't read Spanish. The bank charge for using an ATM was 112 DOP last time I was in the DR.
There are several cambios on Av Duarte and most have a sign outside giving the current exchange rate. I have used the one next to the entrance to the Boat House without any issues. You can also get money exchanged at the Hamaca and the Don Juan but will not get as good a rate.
I would agree you should only use your ATM at banks and not the stand alone machines. I have never had any problems using my card but make sure you let your bank know you are traveling to the DR before you leave so the don't cancel your card the first time you use it.
