Returned from AUA yesterday. I've been going there for around 20 years, but in recent years (more like 7-8 years actually) the choices in SN became so poor (compared to SXM for instance) that I didn't have any intention to even go to SN. Just to lay on the beach and to enjoy the Caribbean sea.

Ended up going to SN 3 times: at 2:30 PM, 4 PM, 10 PM. Each afternoon spent good 45-60 min driving in circles trying to spot someone attractive with decent attitude. Hardly any chicas at 4 pm. Maybe 5 or 7 total, but they'd have to pay me to do them. To rate them "3" might be too generous. At 2 pm saw around 20+ chicas on the streets. 3-4 that were hanging just past Charlie's bar were ok, but just ok. They obviously spotted a gringo and demanded 50 USD "gringo rate", even though I showed them florins. Overall spotted just 1 quite attractive (IMHO) chica, 1 block north from the "main drag" and about 2-3 blocks from the refinery. But there was a group of locals "utes" and a mentally deranged local near her door / gate, and I decided to drive around the block and park on the other street, but by then she was gone. At night it's not much better. The ask is for $60 or more, with possibility of talking them down to $50 (which I don't like, I'd rather get good service), plus chica drinks and room fee. It gets close to or above $70 for short time.

Still horny, texted several escort agencies. They sent me photos back. $140-150 prices. Saw a 2 escorts, in comfort of my hotel. The photos I receive were correct, no bait-and-switch. Chicas were younger (mid-20's) spinners, no silicone, and IMHO a lot more attractive than in SM. But the service is hit-or-miss. I repeated with one of them. Liked here service and was hoping on improvement for repeat business. Nope, the service was actually worse, and she started to get her sh*t and heading out after 45 min. Obviously no propina and no more business for her.

I hope other mongers find what they're looking for in SN. For me the risk of running into deranged individuals in SN, plus the time it takes to circle around SN to find someone doable, plus interruption of a day at the beach simply not worth the trouble. I decided that, considering I couldn't get anyone above "3" for under $50 in SN, $150 escort is the safest and most comfortable deal for me, and not a bad deal compared to prices in "sex prison".

What time you do the drive-byes? Afternoon, evening or late night? 2-4 pm, 9-10 pm or 2-3 am?

I went around 2 pm. I found a cute spinner at the backside of chesterfield. Her name was Camila. She is from Cali. She is really short and has fake tits and ass. She told me she just arrived the day before. She was really nice and gave a good service. I would recommend her.

Glad to hear things are picking up. Kind of weird, since aren't we heading into the low season? Where were the chicas a couple of months ago? Maybe things are picking up at the refinery. Anyway, regarding time of day. Many chicas are out mid to late morning, purely to get out of the boredom of their room, if they are not sleeping or haven't been scooped up the previous night. The shopping for them is limited in San Nicolas. One pharmacy, a few banks, one grocery store on the backstreet, and the Latin cafe as a food option is all they have to choose from within walking distance.

There's a heavy set local guy, probably affiliated with the club owners, that drives a 9 passenger van. He acts as a shuttle driver for the chicas to take them up the main route that leads into the town that has bigger supermarkets, more food options and the doctor they see for their checkups. He's a pain in the ass since it's hard to get by his van on the back streets during the day, hence the need to rent the smallest possible car you can get to get through the tight spaces.

Even the Burger King and I think the KFC are a bit of a walk for the girls, although some will do it. So I've always had luck offering to parlay a day errand run with either a visit back to my apartment for a change of venue, or a trip to Baby Beach for a few hours in the afternoon. Nighttime yields some new faces, but it's all business. Daytime yields opportunity and you're not fighting with the cruise ship crew and passengers like you are at Carolina's in SXM. Plus, as I mentioned in a previous post, you can turn a fun daytime, into, a I'll pick you up after 2 am And take you back to my place, and avoid the bar nonsense and have a fun nigh on your turf, if the chemistry is there.

Today I drove by the backstreets. There are a lot of new girls now. I even saw a couple of beauties. So things are looking good.

The last couple of weeks I haven't found anything worth while in the RLD. From what I heard the bars are having difficulties getting girls in Colombia because the girls don't want to come. They heard that things are slow and that the refinery is not doing well. I also noticed there are more Dominicans now than before.

I was there two months ago and there were very few stars to pick from. The girls were complaining there were not a lot of customers, not sure if was because of Carnival. Anyways, I managed to have fun with a few Colombians. I have never been to Curacao so I cannot speak to Curacao but if I had to choose between Aruba and St. Maarten I would pick St. Maarten.

Well it's been 2 months since anyone has posted here on the Aruba board, so figured I'd pass along some intel which may have a significant impact on the San Nicolas RLD. From the way I see it, it may get better, or it may be a thing of the past. It appears that a high speed ferry service is in the works connecting Aruba with Curacao. The islands are roughly 70 miles apart, and it's projected that the one way trip will be about 2 hours. I'd say more depending on sea conditions. But the vessel being considered, supposedly can accommodate 800 passengers and 300 cars, so that's got to be one hell of a good size ferry. The cost is supposed to be a fraction of what the airfare currently is.

The terminus in Aruba is going to be in San Nicolas. The plan is to knock some of the walls down around the oil refinery that open up to the beach and what I'm guessing are some docks that used to accommodate oil tankers when the refinery was running full tilt. I'm guessing it's down towards Rodgers Beach, since there are also plans to revitalize Rogers Beach and inject the local economy with hundreds, maybe thousands of tourists, versus the smattering that currently venture down from the northern part of the island. I'm not sure of the exact planned location, hell it could be one block behind Charlie's Bar!

Anyway, with the potential for San Nicolas becoming a bustling port of entry, I'm wondering how this bodes on the officially sanctioned RLD. The back alleys of San Nicolas are hell holes, but nevertheless fun to explore. Wonder if the city fathers will make moves to clean things up or abolish the trade altogether, replacing buildings with cafes, shopping, and more tourist stuff that you would expect would exist there now, but actually doesn't.

San Nicolas may be changing from how we know it now down the road. Will have to keep an eye on how this planned ferry service develops.

Making my first trip in the next couple of weeks. Flight is booked but I need to find lodging. Looking for someplace that is visitor friendly near the beaches. Any recommendations?

[FootnballCoach]

First, let me preface this by saying that my last visit to the island was last October, and since that time, only one or two, "boots on the ground" posts regarding first hand reports of the situation in San Nicolas. Surprised not more visits occurring on what happens to be the third most talked about island in this section, lagging only behind SXM and CUR. I'm guessing that the lineup has changed since last October and that most of that shift returned home to celebrate the winter holidays. San Nicolas doesn't necessarily offer the strongest line-up so wondering if anyone has visited as of late. My last visit, I met a chica that told me she was from Peru. That was a first. But, to use a hockey phrase. Is San Nicolas at "full strength" these days?

And just to clarify, girls in the bars live in rooms adjacent to the bars and work at night. Sometimes you will see them out in the streets during the day in casual, although sexy outfits, since some of there rooms are situated so as they really can't work from them during the day. Not hard to distinguish. Others that work in some of the older bars have rooms that open up to the back alley streets and they work during the day from their rooms. And then there are those chicas that work entirely from a room both during the day and at night. For example the Brooklyn Bar is closed, but some chicas work from rooms that were on the backside of that bar both day and night..

From the hotel area if they go at all, most people take the bus down town. Streets are blocked, No parking etc. The parade is below average PG at best. It's not Reo, or New Orleans or Jukino in Nasau. As for St Nicholas, I took the Bus They dropped me off a mile from the zone and I walked in. All the streets were blocked. When I got in the bars were closed as if Sunday or a holiday. Never again.

So getting to my topic which I wished to address. I know Aruba is big with their Carneval celebration. Has anyone been to San Nicolas during this time? Been checking flights and accommodations and may burn some frequent flyer miles and head down for the first weekend in March. San Nicolas has a parade on March 2nd, and Sunday is the big parade in Oranjestad. San Nicolas, literally has an area called Carnival Village on Bernhardstraat, a few blocks from the RLD.

Sure it's a rocking and festive mood, but my experience in San Nicolas has been entirely with the town being sleepy. Not sure how I could handle it rocking and rolling! LOL Also, if the island descends on San Nicolas for Carnival, chica availability may not be as generous as during the off peak time. If anyone has an Aruba Carnival visit to San Nicolas under their belt, would be curious to hear your experience. And BTW, the place I usually stay at is a block from the Carnival site in San Nicolas. I just don't want to be down there if the entire high rise hotel population descends upon the village during this time.

I am planning on making my very first mongering trip this may, I have been having a hard time deciding between Dominican republic SXM and Aruba. Based off what you guys have said I am leaning towards Aruba however, can the same things that happen in Aruba happen in sxm as far as getting chicas during the day etc. ? I really don't like having to meet girls in brothels and such and would much rather have girls over at my airbnb, with that in mind do you guys agree that Aruba is better? Also what is the general pricing for an overnight or day trip with a girl on these islands?

Have either of y'all been to the Dominican and if you can compare please let me know would be grateful.

I am just going to throw in a bit of personal experience. Club Ted has told you about Aruba, and a bit about St. Maarten. I agree that in St. Maarten, you are only going to find daytime mongering at a few of the clubs. They all have "take out" fines that vary, and the girls always have to be back by early morning, or early evening, unless you pay a higher fine. My approach has always been to do a session with the chica in the club. If I like her, I go back the next day and do a double session. By that time, I know what talent she has and her personality. Only then, do I consider taking her out for a night or day. The fee the girls asks for are COMPLETELY negotiable. By developing a relationship in the clubs, I have NEVER been asked a fee from any of those girls I have taken out of the club. Instead, they love the feeling of "normal" and a dinner / lunch, beach time, nice hotel room, a bit of shopping or errand running is welcome relief from the usual grind. I do give them something when I return them to the club, but it is my choice. And I then see them at the club again, if I like them. Without developing a rapport, you are going to be asked to pay $250-400 for take out. I did it once on a whim, and it was mediocre sex with a tired woman. Never again. I can have 5-8 sessions in the clubs with different women for that and a much better time. If money is no object, then you will have lots of choices. Take out is where most of the "hot" girls make most of their money, so if they can latch on for a day or two, it goes a long way in taking money back home. But your mileage will vary doing it that way, and money may not be well spent.

I have not been to the DR for many years. But I do stay in touch with several girls in the DR that I have met in St Maarten. The economy in the DR is horrible, and I am told that there are young girls hanging everywhere hoping to latch on to a monger that happens to pass their way during the day or evening. Just have to open your eyes and not be afraid to approach a girl wherever you might find yourself. Odds are, you will get lucky. I plan to go to the DR sometime this year, and will report what I find at that time.

[ClubTed]

I've never been to the DR so can't speak to that. As for meeting girls, you are going to have to meet them in the brothel setting before you do take out. And it's highly recommended you do a test drive, before you go for TLD or TLN. Doing takeout blindly, can lead to major disappointment. In Aruba you have girls working out of their rooms right adjacent to the street during the day and in SXM you have bars with onsite lodging for the girls embedded in the establishment. Aruba seems to offer escort services, but I like to kick the tires and take the car around the block before I make the purchase. Here are some general tips you should follow regardless of if you are in SXM or Aruba, or even the DR.

A. Advance intell. In addition to the obligatory test drive, what is the girl's attitude? Is she overly aggressive? If she's overly aggressive and a shark, all she's interested in is sucking you dry. Not you but your wallet. Also, is there attraction? Most like on your part, but what about hers? It always helps if the chica is into you, for being you, rather than just how padded your wallet is.

Be. Beauty. If she is a total stunner or 10 plus, beware. She will no doubtedly command a high price, and probably has local admirers that have her on speed dial. Some of these stunners you may see once during your trip and never again due to their dance cards being so filled up. Also, going along with attraction, how's your beauty? LOL. If you're a decent looking guy, makes the dial go more smoothly in your favor.

See. Chemistry. If the two of you hit it off that you are going to be in for a spectactular time. Knowing some spanish in this case goes along way. Also, on the lines of communication, having a defined game plan discussed beforehand helps. Don't leave and head to the beach if she's not dressed for it. Don't promise shopping vaguely. You could end up with her wanting to go to a high end boutique wanting to buy a pair of three hundred dollar shoes or a 200 dollar pocketbook. Limit shopping to a grocery store where she can pick up some essentials, if she wants. Better yet, stock your place beforehand with water, soda, goya products that she can take from your AirBnB place. Now your pad becomes the store and when she wants to restock up, she won't think twice of coming back to your place.

As I said, daytime in Aruba yields opportunity. If you don't meet up at the outdoor cafe, you still have to prowl the streets and approach the open doorways to make connections. In SXM, you have to visit the bars, of which the ones closest to the cruise ships open the earliest. With that in mind, take out during the day, especially at Carolinas can be difficult. Reason being, with say 4 cruise ships in port, that's a lot of potential business coming to the clubs. Not just tourists, but cruise ship staff. From 11:30 until 3:30 pm A place like Carolinas can rock. And an attractive, experienced chica can make hundreds of dollars in the safety of her own backyard. Let alone drink for free like a fish with patrons buying drinks and shots left and right. Also the clubs / bars institute a bar fine if you take a chica out during her scheduled shift.

In SXM, quiet time used to be from 4 pm Until 8 pm When the chicas were free to come and go as they pleased. I've had much luck in the past taking chicas out at 4 pm, circumventing the bar fine. Again, a lot of this success comes with building a rapport with the chica and becoming her "unofficial" novio. (boyfriend).

As far as pricing. Tons of variables. How long? How popular is she? How hurting is she for money? (has it been slow for her). You could throw a dollar amount out and see if she bites. You can ask her and see what see says. You can table that offer and come back the next day with a counter offer and sweeten the deal with early dinner. If you are staying at an AirBNB with a barbecue you are in luck. Chicas love to be able to cook on a grill. That might be enticing itself if you promise her a fiesta.

Then again, if this is your first mongering trip and you've saved all your paper route tips from when you were a kid, maybe cost is no object! Anyway, remember, that if a girl wants 300 dollars for an afternoon, and the going rate is 50 bucks a half hour session, that's 5 other girls that you've missed out on, just to spend an afternoon with someone, that you better well be dam into!

Have fun, and remember, make sure pretty much everything is agreed upon beforehand. Otherwise, you can be in for a major disappointment, a shortened date!
