Posts: 74Santiago UTRs.
Returning to the city for a week starting tomorrow to wrap up some repairs to our apartment and will be looking for some playtime. I have a list of UTRs who already seem to be failing by the wayside so would welcome any new referrals, and will share as I've done in the past.

Considere setting up the PM option available in this forum.
I just moved back stateside four months ago, but lived in that area for three years.
I've stayed at Hodelpa several times, on first arrival and with my family a few times afterwards. I consider it one of the classier places in town.
There are always "Club Girls" hanging around the entrance wanting someone to take them inside. They can't enter without an escort. They're easy to spot dressed up in their prom-style dresses.
The front desk staff are accustomed to having guests go up to a room but will take the guests cedula and hold it until they leave. For your protection. They turn it over to the police if there are problems and since the girls value that cedula they behave. There are several agencies working the area and you can negotiate prices in spite of what they say. Check out Dominican Backpage. If you had PM I would refer you to one I believe has the safest opportunities.
If you're going to be there a few days consider chatting with one of the night security guys. Offer a 200 peso tip, max 500. Selling your body is not against the law in DR, but pimping is. Just comment that you wish you could find a cute young chica to spend some quality time with. If they respond move on otherwise don't ask that person again. If they can get the girl to you without any hassle it's worth the tip. Especially if you can see her or a pic beforehand. They know the girls and can also set you up. Keep in mind there is a tendency to markup the cost. Many of the agency girls want $150-200 which is outrageous. I know, cheaper than the US, but crazy for DR.
Everyone who lives there has the number to their taxi driver. Speaking Spanish, even a little helps. Tempe's offer is good. You're paying for the drive from town out to the airport and then back to Hodelpa. It's a drive so 1000 pesos is OK. And don't tip. That's $22. If you have to take a taxi at the airport, and there are plenty, they will ask for $20, which they will convert to pesos later. But that's less than 1000.
If you set up PM I'll forward you a contact number for a chica if you're into 2 p0 ish spinners.

Hello everybody!
Headed to Santiago for a multi day work trip, and will be staying at the Hodelpa Gran Almirante. Is there anything close by that area to some action? I see the hotel has a casino and a massage place, but the hotel looks pretty decent and wasn't sure if it was legit only massage? Also ok with taking an uber somewhere close, but time is kind of limited. Thanks in advance and will report back upon my return!

Remember taxis in the DR are not marked as they are in other countries. They are just older normal cars with the plastic taxi sign that you can probably get anywhere. Personally I would opt for the Uber instead of those raggedy ass taxis that you are going to pay 3 times as much for. Hell with Uber you have the driver's picture and license plates on your account. For a regular taxi you don't got shit.

I don't recall exchange places at the Santiago airport at all. May be because I am not really looking for them since I use the ATM. When you leave out the building and go to the right, there is a Banco Popular ATM (that I always use) and the same bank. Maybe people exchange money inside. But it definitely is not opened at that time of night.

Posts: 3860Amenities around Hotel LOS Jardines / Taxi from airport late at night
Greetings.
I will be arriving at 12 am in STI and Hotel LOS Jardines does not offer taxi service unfortunately. Besides doing the obvious and getting into a taxi located at the airport are there other options? Someone gave me the information for SUN Transfers but I don't see an email / contact info for them on their website. It's all self help. I like to communicate with actual humans.
Will the airport have an exchange place open at that time? I assume airport taxis will not take dollars?
I chose LOS Jardines due to it being mentioned here on ISG. Can anyone clue me in if there are cambios and a Claro service center in the general area? Any other points of interest within walking distance?
Thanks so much.

DR is well known for its Cabanas. Rent by the hour rooms w / shower, TV, etc. Imperial is just down the road toward the city. There are several closer to you at different rates. Uber will pick you up and take you there and if you ask pick you up.
Club chica has limited pics, but has many more options. He will send you pictures. I have some local digits but sorry, won't share on a public forum. Girls end up getting harassed. The guy that runs it is an intermediary only. I've seen the change in his web site format noting additional fees, but whenever I've told him what I want he works out the details and I've never paid extra.
If you do not have WhatsApp on your cell, get it. You can video, voice or text call US and in-country easily. Locals use it a lot as a standard text receiver to avoid text fees. I have kids still there so use it both to US and back at no cost. It will also allow video and picture transfers.
I'll see if I can contact you by Twitter as an option.

One thing I see about the hotel is it will be hard to make use of due to the smallness, the front desk is sure to notice and I am concerned about them perhaps saying something offhand to one of my coworkers. Would love to get the digits, sorry I don't have access to PM, I don't really have a way to sign up right now as I am en route. I will have to do that when I get back home, as I can see where that would be valuable. I am on twitter with the same name however.
Which agency did you use? I have seen club chica mentioned on here a few times, but they see to not have a wide selection? Also, the fact that they list BBFS as an option for just slightly more sort of concerned me some, not sure if that is common practice or what.
Thank you for the info.
