Santo Domingo

[Camaro1257]

I wish you posted this two weeks ago. I was in a taxi for about an hour and a half trying to find this place! I was there once and saw a chica I didn't get to fuck and I lost her number and coulnd remeber her name. Fabio took me the first time and I coulndnt remeber where it was. I thought it was on 27 de febero. I'm tired of messing with fabios scamming ass and didn't want to call him to bring me there. Hopefully in may she is still working there.

Grandnash, Favio was my driver and he was extremely helpful in fact he is part of the reason this report is so thorough as I simply gleaned his information and recorded it for our use. I know Favio has mixed reviews but my experience with him was more than acceptable and you cannot beat 300DOP an hour with a stick especially with Santo Domingo traffic. Puro was one of the first places he took me to, I personally didn't like it because it was one of the most expensive carwashes I have ever been to, who charges 1000DOP for salida? Also the chicas were fine but they seemed to have a FUNK attitude and I surely am not going to pay what 2ould amount to over 4000DOP for funk attitude.

Anyone know if the Marriott Courtyard is chica friendly?

I'm going to SD this Saturday and would really like to know.

Thanks

[Parkinsons]

Shamester I only went to Plaza Central Avenida 27 de Febrero esquina W. Churchill but there are a plethora of other malls in the city I just didn't have enough time.

Thanks for the report Camaro, I found especially useful the info on carwashes and the suggestion of hiring a taxi driver as transportation, translator and toto guide all in one. Did you have him wait outside every time you're inside a place having fun with a chica?

Chinatown and to the north of it, near Parque Enriquillo.

Camaro1257, that is one awesome report! I wish more mongers would try to be as informative as you. I also stayed at the Jaguar apartments in 2011, and didn't find it all that great. Found the staff noisy and lazy (Had to ask them 4 times just to get one hanger for my room for example). It was only after a talk with the owner that they upgraded my room and things got slightly better. They did arrange for me a well priced and decent taxi service though.For future reference, on Calle Danae (2 blocks up) , there are many reasonably priced hotels. I did a sweep of them on my last trip, and rooms with TV and shower varied between 1200 and 2000 pesos per night.

From my experience I prefer Metro than Caribe tours, more expensive but not as crowded. Last trip I took from Santiago to Santo Domingo only took a couple of hours, so 5 hours from Sosua to Santo Domingo seems far too long. Should be around 3. 5 hours travelling time.

Re. The local bars you mention, are these by definition pay for play bars, or do they also cater for regular visitors? I never saw any around the Avenida Independencia area. How can you recognise them from the outside? I've seen many profile photo's though of chicks on badoo etc, where they seem to be sitting around in such bars! Which of these would you recommend? Are they safe places for light skinned gringo's like myself? Likewise I never saw any car washes either. Excuse my stupid question, but I suppose you can't turn up there unless you have a car? How many girls tend to be at each car wash?

You mentioned the hotel Jaragua but not the disco at the Melia next door. When I was last there in 2011 I didn't fancy any of the freelancers hanging around in the Jaragua casino at all, however I did pull an absolute stunner in the Melia disco, a doctor (She even showed me photo's of her performing surgery!). She did cost me 3000 pesos though for a couple of hours.

Re. malls, I found the one's near the Metro bus station (Blue mall and another one whose name escapes me) pretty boring, too international and too upmarket to have any chance of pulling any local talent. The waiter at the hotel Riazor restaurant recommended me the Mega Centro in Santo Domingo Este. Several women gave me the eye there, one of whom I picked up, and in general I far preferred wandering around there than any other mall, a much bigger place, and more authentic looking Dominican women there too.

SD is not a easy place to monger. You need transportation, Spanish and a plan. The casas are not cheap but the women are nice. I do not like casas not my style. I chose to import out of town ladies to visit me in SD. Most of the small town girls love SD and are thrilled to be there. I have had some success with SWs but not every one can handle them.

I have been approached be very young attractive girls. These girls were not true pros but were young ladies trying to get some quick cash. Sd can awesome or very frustrating. I drove in SD for a whole week. After surviving this I will never drive in the DR again.

Camaro,

Thank you for the outstanding report. It should be nominated for a report of distinction. Provides newbies with an action plan for locating the chicas.

Great report Camaro1257! Will post this in the "Links to Reports of Distinction".

Yes indeed Camaro this is very informative. I too couldn't see a street walker in those areas about 5.

Hi all,

We just booked flights to SD for 2/24 through 3/2 and I was wondering what hotels are recommended. I've been reading posts for about 4 hours now and just can not get a handle on what is preferred by the experts.

Looking for reasonable prices, nothing super nice but a pool with a bar would be fantastic.

Thanks!

gentleman, i just returned from a 5 day excursion to santo domingo, dominican republic. this area has been covered ad nauseam and much of what will be reviewed is familiar to veterans, however my objective is to compile all of the basic sex venues in one place so that those who are interested can use this report as a guide. this synopsis will cut to the meat of my experience. below i have listed my notes on the santo domingo area for your review:

location.

la capital.

disclaimer alert for those reading this report, i was a history nerd in school and i am fascinated by life and culture in the dominican republic, therefore i will share different facts and impressions that have nothing to do with mongering.

santo domingo is the capital of the dominican republic and is reported to be the oldest colonial city in the western hemisphere founded by christopher columbus brother bartholomew columbus in 1496. santo domingo is also the chief seaport of the dominican republic, its harbor at the mouth of the ozama river which leads to the caribbean sea.

there are 8 municipalities in la provincia de santo domingo as follows:

• santo domingo distrito nacional.

• santo domingo norte.

• santo domingo este.

• santo domingo oeste.

• guerra.

• los alcarrizos.

• pedro brand.

• boca chica.

since santo domingo is reported to have approximately 3 million people and it spans such a large area i tried to stay close to my base of the jaguar apart studio. judging from the size of santo domingo it will take multiple trips in order to get a decent grasp of everything the city has to offer.

the dominican 'banana' republic.

the dominican republic can be considered a type of banana republic because it is a developing country with few natural resources. in addition there is collusion between the government and the corporate sector which consists primarily of groups of foreign investors that basically benefits those who are in power. this collusion breeds corruption because the money that the corporate interest brings has to be funneled through those who have political power. the sad part is that wealth is not shared with the average dominican who earns less than $300. 00 per month. this blatant income inequality is one of the conditions that make the dominican republic a favored mongering destination because the poverty experienced by the average dominican inclines some to do what they perceive they have to do to survive. however, the same conditions that favor the typical monger also make him a target for scams and exploitation because poverty produces desperation. the same desperation that leads a woman choose to have sex with an absolute stranger for 1000 pesos is the same desperation that leads the police to ask the same stranger for bribe of 100 pesos. how ironic the typical monger loves cheap sex but detest being taken advantage of?

lodging.

• jaguar apart studios calle hermanos deligné #59 gazcue.

the apartment was small with a kitchen and mini dining area and a king size bed. the neighborhood is quiet in a residential area i only hear the occasional motos buzzing by. it will have to do for $60. 00 per night.

there was no restaurant or pool on site. the wifi was strong and the air-conditioning was decent. i had problems with the cable having a poor picture and the power would go out intermittently and later be restored by the outside generator.

• gazcue.

this part of santo domingo reminded me of poblado in medellin, milflores in lima peru and recoletta in buenas aires argentina. it was a very safe and quiet residential area. once i got my bearings i walked freely during the day and well into the night.

• navarro hotel aveneida indepencia across from club 305.

i tried the navarro hotel because i did not want to bring a chica de la calle to my apartment and i wanted to be able to report on a short time hotel. i heard short time was 600dop for 2 hours. i arrived and the clerk wanted to charge me 1000dop for 2 hours so i ask him "cuanto es por toda la noche?" and he said 1250dop and i knew i was being gringo taxed. i talked him down to 800dop.

what made matters worse is the room was not worth 600dop further more 1000dop. dulce secreto in sosua is a quality room for 600dop and this was definitely no ducle secreto it was more in the line of hotel el rosal in la romana for 150dop. they provided no condoms and the towels were ratty and looked like they were about to fall apart. in short this hotel was a rip off!

transportation.

• metro autobus.

i boarded small van and we transferred in puerto plata for the coach bus. it was a decent ride but i slept on and off. i stayed on top of my luggage because they don't tag it therefore someone could easily get your bags. i sat close to the window where i could see the luggage doors open and close at the santiago stop. we only made one stop in santiago it was a little more than a 4 hour trip for 380dop which beats paying $200. 00 for a taxi.

• caribe tours.

i took the metro from sosua to santo domingo so i decided to take caribe tours from santo domingo to sosua on my return trip in order to compare the difference. the difference between the two services is that caribe tours buses are more comfortable both in ride and in seating because the seats had more cushion. in addition caribe tours gives a ticket for your luggage, they played movies and the bus runs more frequently than the metro. the disadvantage is caribe tours stopped in la vega. 2 stops in santiago, inbert and puerto plata before you disembark in charimecos at the edge of sosua. the trip was approximately 5 hours.

• driving in the dominican republic.

driving in the dominican republic can be risky yet rewarding. it can open up a lot more of the country and can be cheaper than taxis unless you have an accident. there are numerous reports of gringos being raped financially after being involved in an accident whether it was their fault or not, therefore you have to be willing to take the risk.

traffic in santo domingo is absolutely horrendous, some people obey traffic signs and some do not. motos dart in-between traffic and if you are not careful you can easily run over one. i decided to hire a driver because i was not willing to take the risk of having an accident. the starting rate for most taxi rides in santo domingo is 200dop one way which can add up quickly if you have a lot you want to do and see. i offered 250dop per hour to my driver and he countered with 300dop per hour. i agreed that was a fair rate because i was paying for his knowledge of the city and for sitting in the passenger seat while going where i wanted to go not to mention gas is over 200dop per gallon. my plan was to spend about 2000dop a day which i calculated as the approximate cost of a rental and gas and insurance. for me it was a no brainer and i ended up spending far less than i planned.

my second day out while riding around the city we ran into a semi-tractor trailer that had a tree fall on it. the accident shut down the street that was a part of our route, had i been driving that would have been frustrating for me in an unfamiliar city but getting to our destination was not my problem and i just sat in the passenger seat and chilled.

la comida.

• plaza central avenida 27 de febrero esquina w. churchill.

i wanted a place where i could do my interviews for the civilian chicas that was close to jaguar apart studios. the mall is about 15 minutes away from the apartments by taxi. there is a food court on the 3rd floor that met my requirement with several in-expensive restaurants.

• supermercado nacional is located at calle maximo gomez why santiago

the supermarket was located about 10 minutes from jaguar apart studios. it was not a one stop shop like la sirena puerto plata or jumbo la romana there were just groceries and i didn't see a restaurant and there were no other items sold other than food.

• manolo's resturante avenida indepencia 461 next to the hotel razor.

manolo's put me in the mind of bailey's in sosua with the same vibe food and service. it is a 5 minute walk from the apartment and is an open air restaurant that is very comfortable at night when you have a breeze. security is very conscious of running off the panhandlers and i felt very safe. i enjoyed everything i ate and the staff was top notch. my waiter called me "senor" the first day but the second day he called me "manito" the overall spirit of the place was warm and friendly. i read quite often about dominican customer service being poor but my experience was totally different.

breakfast. basic scrambled eggs with bacon and garlic toast. it simply wasn't enough but it hit the spot. 250dop.

lunch- grilled chicken salad, the chicken was seasoned well and it was something light because i didn't want to eat anything too heavy. 350dop.

dinner- grilled moro, carrots and sautéed potatoes. the fish has a soft semi sweet taste and was very flakey. the carrots were sautéed with peppers and onions and were absolutely delicious. this was not only a healthy meal but my best meal of the trip. 750dop.

cambio.

casa de cambio is located at calle santiago why cervantes about 5 minutes from the jaguar apart studios. the exchange rate was 42. 70dop-1us.

sex venues.

local bars:

the local bars are set up like the frias in la romana and just like the car washes they are literally all over the city there are entirely too many to count. each bar has a dance floor a bar and seats that surround the walls. the tables have numbers and the chicas are responsible for those who sit at their tables. the chicas serve as waitresses and are also available for takeout. you pay the salida and negotiate individually with the chica. the talent level ranged from 5-8 in each and fluctuates depending on the time of day.

• universo cafe calle moca.

salida 500dop.

chica tarifa 2000dop and up.

• bar nuevo le cache calle america lugo why maria monte.

salida 500dop.

chica tarifa 2000dop and up.

• plaza caribe calle juan pablo pina why monte.

salida 500dop.

chica tarifa 2000dop and up.

• la avenida sports bar avenieda espana.

there are a string of bars and clubs on avenida espana with food carts in-between them. the street was packed with people and cars playing loud music it was like a large block party. la avenida sports bar is an open air space with several pool tables and a bar on the outdoor space and an inside bar also. there were about 6 servers that were available for takeout none was more than a 6.

salida 700dop.

chica tarifa 1500 and up.

once the chicas salida they do not have to return so they can stay as long as both of you agree to.

car washes:

my first experience with dominican car washes was in la romana. the car washes in santo domingo are set up the same way. there is a hand car wash outside and a separate building that either has a disco or pool tables and a bar depending on which car wash. these car washes are literally all over the city and the below list does not begin to scratch the surface. please forgive me if i got the addresses wrong mi espanol es no bueno. you pay the salida exit fee and negotiate separately with the chica her tarifa.

below i have listed a few:

• puro car wash calle juan pablo why calle monte.

salida: 1000dop.

chica tarifa: 3000-4000dop for 2 hours.

• brea car wash & brea bar calle boca why juan erazo.

salida: 500dop.

chica tarifa: 2000dop and up.

• d james plaza calle maximo gomez.

salida: 500dop.

chica tarifa: 2000dop and up.

casa de las citas:

the below listed casas offered in house rooms or take out. the ambiance in both was outstanding and they looked very clean and comfortable. i felt as if i were at home in both. the talent level in both was more than acceptable every woman i saw was at least a 7 and some 8's that almost made me want to part with my pesos.

• casa teresa calle ortega de la se.

3500dop for 1 hour in house, or 2 hours outside.

7000dop for 4 hours outside.

• casa condita calle las americas close to the colonial zone.

2500dop for 1 hour in house.

3600dop for 2 hours outside.

4000dop for 3 hours outside.

• gbp avenieda febero 27.

1000dop for 1 hour 1 chica.

1500dop for 1 hour 2 chicas.

*be careful some of the chicas will try to hit you for 2000dop check at the bar and pay the correct traifa.

all of the below listed casas are on avenieda pastur in between avenieda indepencia & avenieda george washington. the exception will be club 305 which is on avenieda indepencia & avenieda pastur. apparently they are all in collusion with one another because all want 4000dop for st and 8000dop for tln.

it was ironic because i saw one of the sosua favorites who goes for 1500dop in one of the clubs and she recognized me and she did was smile and nod. that event confirmed my theory about the market value of toto. depending where you are the same toto from the same chica can double or triple with no change in quality or quantity.

the casas are as follows:

• girls house.

• sky high lounge.

• sensacion discoteque.

• club 305.

all of the casas had talent above 7 and i saw quite a few high 8's in each one. i could not bring myself to pay twice what i would pay in sosua despite the fact that i have paid the equivalent in san jose, costa rica, cartagena, colombia and panama city, panama. i don't doubt that many of the chicas are worth 4000dop it's just me.

• the chica stroll avenieda indepencia.

after about 11pm pfp chicas stroll on avenieda indepencia between manolo's resturant and casa de cita club 305. some were by themselves and others in groups i saw none that rated over a 6.

• the chica stroll avenieda george washington.

after about 11pm pfp chicas stroll on avenieda george washigton between jaragua hotel & casino and the crown plaza hotel. some were by themselves and others in groups i saw none that rated over a 6.

other venues.

renaissance jaragua hotel & casino avenida george washington.

the jaragua hotel & casino reminded me of hotel veneto casino in panama city, panama minus the colombianas. the jaragua was much larger and had the regular casino and an upstairs club with a live band playing. there were couples and groups celebrating different events like birthdays in the club. it appeared to be a good venue to take a chica if you were romantically inclined.

the female staff of course was flush with plenty of eye candy however i did not see anybody who was obviously pfp inside. however, outside there were chicas who appeared to be available. none of the chicas were more than a 6 and i found none desirable.

avenida venezuela why dr octavo.

avenida venezuela is a strip where there are a plethora of discos and night clubs. i noticed 2 chicas walking back and forth to and fro i can only assume they were pfp on the stroll.

• la barrica

la barrica was an open air venue with tables that face the street it also has an indoor section with a bar. many people were dancing in between the chairs inside. it was very laid back and the breeze was fantastic at night chica watching, we saw many 7-8's and at least one 9.

• energy club.

the energy club is next store to la barrica, which is a club that would put you in the mind of classicos. once again there were a few 7-8's and a couple of 9's. for some of the chicas it was hard to tell who was coupled up and who was just hanging out. this was a normal club with a few dance acts as entertainment. they had a michael jackson dance act along with 2 male strippers for the ladies and 1 female stripper for the men. i ignored the male strippers but the female was enjoyable to watch she started out with clothes and went down to her panties.

thoughts on la capital.

• i had notes and a pre-plan itinerary based on those notes but i would later discover through my driver that santo domingo is a far richer venue than has been previously reported. the driver i hired took me to some places that i have not read about in any previous santo domingo reports. it was well worth the 300dop per hour i paid him, especially in light of the fact that gasoline alone is over 200dop per gallon. as previously stated these guys are a wealth of information and generally more than eager to help. what i paid may have averaged a little more than i would have paid to rent a car. in essence i got transportation, a guide, translator and security for the cost of a rent a car for less than $50. 00 per day.

• prior to and during my trip to santo domingo i received several admonitions about the danger of la capital from robberies to police shakedowns. i did not take the warnings lightly and i had a healthy awareness of the potential dangers that surrounded me and i was very mindful of where i was and what i was doing at all times. i was careful not to look like a estupido gringo when i was out and about. once i felt comfortable with the area surrounding the apartment i walked to the major sex venues in the area only being molested by taxi drivers and touts.

• i worked the internet exhaustively for this trip. i used dominican & latin american cupid along with tagged and badoo. i had over a dozen connections but when i hit the ground i only contacted one. i find dealing with civilian chicas is a lot of work but can be rewarding. some civilians turn out to be blessings in disguise and others turn out to be more gold digging than the average pfp chica. i will continue to use the internet because it provides the balance that i desire in my search of chicas.

• my experience in santo domingo confirms my theory of the market value of toto. some of the same chicas that can be obtained in sosua for 1500-2000dop for st want 3000-4000dop for st in santo domingo. i had 2 referrals from another monger where he paid less but they wanted more from me. the gringo tax is in full effect in la capital.

• santo domingo can be intimidating and daunting due to its reputation, size, diversity and horrendous traffic. my experience in santo domingo has led me to believe that you have not mongered in the dominican republic until you have mongered in la capital. an excursion to santo domingo should be a rite of passage for anyone who wants to experience the diversity that the dominican republic has to offer.

[D Cups]

Can someone give me the link to the monger map of Santo Domingo, I will be in town this weekend.

Chris

Have a good one, Chris. Your reports are the best of any I've seen. Olympic Gold Medals from several countries for you, my friend.
