Sosua Reports

Try Duolingo, it's way better than Rosetta Stone. It's a much more intuitive way to learn language; it's free on your Apple or Android device.

I am practicing with Rosetta Stone. But with only few weeks left I can only learn the basics.

I am practicing with Rosetta Stone. But with only few weeks left I can only learn the basics. I am making myself a cheat sheet and will probably rely on google translate.
Hope I can get a sim card with a data plan once in Sosua. Someone on here posted a while back few Spanish sentences relevant to the hobby with translation in English.

If you are conversant with French, Spanish would be a piece of cake, vocab wise. Besides, with Sosua, you would most likely not need an involved conversation requiring say, the conditional or subjunctive, LOL. No matter what, a bit of conversation in their language helps jell the interaction positively. Personally, I never deal with anyone there speaking English as essentially it makes her a veteran in the trade.

You can get to Orange (a French Phone company) or Claro (a DR company) in Sosua and get a sim card (you would need your passport) and load it with some money for the data plan as well as text etc. You may also need to bring along an unlocked GSM phone unless you want to buy locally.

I cannot help on the Spanish terminology. I recall having seen it but Google Translate should work.

Bon Chance!

I was told by a friend living in Sosua that an all time favorite of mine, Debrah was murdered in Cabarette just a couple of days ago. Any substantiation of this would be appreciated.

Although she was skinny and a drug user and not that pretty she was a great gal in many ways. And a dear friend.

I hope this is a false rumor.

It is true. Herman told me she was killed on Saturday.

I wll send you the link later tonight.

When I was in Boca Chica this past summer the water was as clear as water. Compare to the beaches in ny and nj I thought it was pretty and just as good as beach. I took a swin on both beaches and were clean then. They must have dump something? The hustling is ridiculous in Boca Chica. I got scammed by a Haitian coconut vendor who sold me a big nice and delicious coconut for $5 dollars or 200 pesos. I thought it was a good price me coming from the USA. The guy even told me a story of how difficult and dangerous profession and how hard it was for him to climb the coconut trees to get them. And that he has fallen a couple of times injuring himself and not being able to work to feed his family when he has fallen. I believed the sucker and felt sorry for him. The next day I went to the capital and got another coconut 25 pesos or less or like 60 cents of a dollar and then I realized the Haitian vendor screw me with the price.

Thanks for your post about Puerto Plata. May I respectfully suggest you copy it into that section as well, as it is useful info for guys enquiring about Pto Pta?

I also second Oakie's plea for an update on FoD.

Good idea Sir Charles, I will do both momentarily.

Where is Castillo Del Ambar located, is it close to Malecon and la Sirena? I have stayed a few times at hotel Lomar.

I have spent 12 nights at Lomar in the past month while I furnished my apartment in Puerto Plata. I would highly recommend it for the budget conscious, standard room is 1500 pesos. Lomar also has two rooms with kitchens for 2000-2300 pesos a night depending on length of stay. The beds vary in quality from room to room, my last room the bed sucked, fortunately I was going to FOD for two nights for my divorce party which was off the chain by the way, hahaha. If one wants better accommodations such as a king sized bed with an american quality mattress without spending a fortune then I would stay at FOD but keep in mind that it is a wh0 rehouse so if you are bringing in non pros they might not appreciate it. One place in Puerto Plata that gets overlooked is Castillo Del Ambar, a nice place and all rooms have a basic kitchen, beds so-so, about the same price as a standard room at Lomar,1500 pesos.

Sorry, but I am fussy about beds, after all we spend a lot of time in them, right?

I'll be in Puerto Plata from Nov. 29th. December 20th and then I will return the first week of January and be there until April at least. If anyone wants to meet up on the malecon for a drink during that time feel free to pm Me, first few drinks on me.

Thanks for the good info.

I'm with you on the beds.

Will you have time to drop a little update on FOD, either here, or in the other forum?

Last time I checked, none of those hotels were in Puerto Plata city, which Lonely seems to be asking about (although the correct abbreviation for Puerto Plata city is "Pto Pta").

In Puerto Plata there is little choice. Best of a mediocre selection is Apart-Hotel Lomar, on the Malecon (see recent reviews here). Others are Portofino and Kevin, the latter in the city centre to save on transport. Then there is Field of Dreams, outside the city proper but conveniently situated to visit Sosua and Cabarete. He was talking about renting a bike, so its location should not be a problem for him, and it would be by far the most pleasant stay, though pricier. No compulsion to sample the house chicas, though a few are worth sampling.

My mistake!

[Charles Pooter]

At the risk of being repetitious, try Rocky's, New Garden or Casa Cayenna

Not the norm, but if you have the budget, and want a more "normal" vacation in the sun, with other activities like diving, fishing, surfing. You can stay at a higher end condo, villa or resort.

You can then come down to the strip, sit back with a beer, and point and click on anything that catches your eye and take them next door to the ST rooms for about 400 pesos. You can even take your beer with you, or they'll put it on ice.

If you're a serial fucker, this avoids the time and hassle of bringing a series of complete strangers back to your room, and getting them out again, (with the attendant risks) If the chica knows she's going next door for a very ST, her rates will be half, cause you'll both be back on the street in 20 minutes or so.

No awkward walks back to the hotel, no hiding your shit in the room, no ripoffs, no expected gifts, no motoconcho money and no expected propina.

More than covers the cost of the room. During the day, if it's slow, I've had them for as low as 500 pesos. I've even had ones I know for pizza money, if they're hungry enough.

From the bar on the corner I can take three young stunners in less than an hour and still be drinking the same beer in the same bar. On average at least one will be memorable.

So easy!

" Check the board for the hotel recommendations. "I need a GFF hotel in PP for about a week when I land there. And I met some chicas from there and I can already.

Feel the love. Need hotel that allow me to demonstrate that love to my love muffin. Name a couple please. Cheap.

At the risk of being repetitious, try Rocky's, New Garden or Casa Cayenna, all within the $40-$60 range and you may be able to negotiate if they are not busy and if you stay more than a couple days.
