It is good advice, I will tell him, thanks!

The touts in Sosua don't really get on my nerves. The ones in Santo Domingo OTOH are really aggressive and persistent. Don't get me wrong, Santo Domingo can be a gold mine for a guy that is able to cope with these guys, but for a lot of guys it's overwhelming.

One night during my first ever stay in SD (I'd always stayed in Sosua before) I was walking along Pasteur when I was approached by a tout. I accepted his services and he took me to what must have been every casa between there and Zona Colonial. We walked for hours. Five or six had non-doable girls and hardly any customers, then there were some casas with a few customers and one or two doable girls, while others were sausage fests and quite dodgy. I did not choose any girls during the promenade and ended up taking a taxi to Teresa. The tout was a very young guy who really impressed me with his enthusiasm and energy. I gave him a tip and he was off looking for another customer.

Use the bus, an uber from the north coast to Santo Domingo would be crazy expensive. Blackbeards, well you don't need me to say anything about it. There is more than enough Blackbeards content all over the Internet.

Question is really going to be: Will DR be open back up yet? If so, what parts and how much.

There is also another bus line.
Both will stop in Puerto Plata. From there add about $5 for the taxi to BB.

Tip. Use the Metro Bus when traveling from Sosua to Santo Domingo. Its very efficient and clean (AC and bathroom).
It costs $10 and trip takes 4 1/2 hours -- It departs from the Texaco Station in Sosua every couple of hours.

There are no touts on every street corner steering you and you can't walk the entirety of Santo Domingo in 30 minutes or less the way you can Sosua or Blackbeards, and there is no one to hold your dick for you like there is at Blackbeards).

Heck, try both if you have time. You can get from SD to Puerto Plato in about 3 hours on a bus, I think. If you have a week or less, I would go to Blackbeards for a couple of days, then to Sosua. You can get the in's and outs from some of the guests at BB"S. Santo Domingo may be slightly harder to navigate for a first time, if you only have a short time. Of course, I haven't been in over a year, and don't know how things will be post Covid.

Here is what I'm looking for, and hoping you guys can help me pick what might be best for me. My budget is flexible, but I tend to like higher-end girls (8/9's') + quantity. I like the idea of at least 2-4 girls a day with at least two or three threesomes over the week. I really enjoy higher-end properties (Looking at the JW in Santo Domingo), but I wouldn't mind an air-bnb if I could find something that wasn't a dump.
My ideal day is:.
