Well done reports. Just curious where you stayed as it sounded like you were pleased in both cases.

Have not been in Boca Chica in 4-5 yrs. I started going to Sosua but have not been there either in 3 yrs. I am looking to go down to the DR in Apr. Where does everybody recommend I go?

Thanks

The Casa Coco is for sale (the French Owners have had it with running a business in BC).

Well they got hung with a pile of debt, cannot charge a whole lot since the hotel is pretty weak so they are in for it getting their investment back I think.

If you have a nice place with a maid and cook, and if you have an extra room in your house, apt. or condo that I can lease for several months I would really appreciate it. I want to come to the D.R. from the states for a nice change. I am a bachelor and like that D.R. women are beautiful, plentiful, and aim to please. I am a good sport, low key, no trouble, and financially secure. If you don't have the maid/cook thing going let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Respectfully,

C.

Re: Casa Coco - It must have been quite a few years, since Gary L. sold out and a German (or Dutch - somewhere in Europe) bought it some time ago. It is still non A/C too small, not enough of a lower price, if any, to recommend over either Costalunga or the El Candil. When Gary was there is was really an anything goes sort of place that's for sure. But those days are gone.

The pool is nice if small (vs. Costalunga) but the breakfast is good and a fair price, better than Garant which was the best but I think it is far too much money now.

I just returned from 1 week in BC. I went there with a SCUBA buddy and ISG member (Diver Up). Our goal was to get some diving in as well as score some chicas. I can tell you all that we had a great time at both activities.

We stayed at the ElCaucho. Those of you that have stayed there know how the place is, and how friendly the owners are in providing excellent customer service. For those who have not, the complex has a quaint but small resort style. The rooms are arranged around a pool area. I front of the complex is a bar/covered patio area where most of the socializing takes place. This is where the in house chicas are located. They will not approach you. You must make the first move. There is a good variety of girls in various shapes and sizes. They are very friendly and sweet. The going rate is 1000-1500 ST. LT is probably somewhat higher, but I can't verify since I did not partake.

Also located in the front is a seperate building with a restaurant on the second floor above a first flor kitchen. The food is very good and priced fairly.

The strongest and best feature of this hotel is the attitude of the owners. These guys (Francesco and Abbey) will go above and beyond your expectations to insure that you have a good time. I compare it to like staying with family.

The scene on Duarte is livelier than it was last year. There are a few more clubs open, and the girls are easy and plentiful. If for some reason you don't like what you see there, you can always go for one of the in house girls at ElCaucho.

I met a lot of good people there and made some friendships that i know will last.

My buddy and I had a great time both diving and chica hunting.

BC is far from dead, and I can't wait until my next trip. Unfortunately I can't pull this off until next year.

I don't have any pics since I don't have the technical hardware.

I hope that this info is helpful. Keep it safe.

Casa coca looked run down from the outside, but it may be nice. It is close to the action, right up the block. Burbaras looked good, didn`t go inside near the action too. Hotel Europa I think is in the middle of town. El Caucho is way too far from town.

It has been a several years since I was in BC, but I did stay at Casa Coco. At the time it was owned by a Canadian expat and was guest friendly (very). There was one large room downstairs next to the pool. The rest of the rooms were a bit smaller however there was no air conditioning. It did have a nice pool and the food was very good.

Another trip I stayed at the Hotel Europa. Large rooms but a bit worn in my opinion. I moved to the Costalunga after two days and had no problem walking from there to the beach even at night.

I second that-I will be travelling with Bosco and Juan-We had a great time at the El Caucho in November-and returning April 4 for 7-10 days. How many days Bosco?

LOL

Sailor,

Say hello to everyone at ElCaucho.

I will be there next month and looking forward to it.

[Sailor02]

Hey Guys

I'm at the ElCaucho and having a great time in BC. Those who have said that BC is a thing of the past are dead wrong.

I'll post a trip report when I get back. Too busy having fun with the Chicas, and drinking.

[Sailor02]

I want to thank those who have answered my questions and those who have posted on the BC board. I'm headed there in 8 more days with a scuba buddy. I'll report back either from BC or when I return. I'm going crazy with anticipation.

i just returned from boca and the news is mixed. the amount of dominican girls is down but there are a good amount of haitian girls. the place is packed with itailian tourists.daytime action is way down.overall the action is nowhere near as good as it was in july.burbaras is dead.the nightime action has shifted to the middle of the town centering around a disco called caribean disco, you can`t miss it its in the middle of the town.stayed at the the azzura $40 a nite. not a bad place but the room i got was a little barren but safe and clean, chica friendly.el candil and los pinos were both full but they are far from yhe action any way. the best located hotels are the azzura,terrce caribe and the garant which was full. casa coco looked a little run down from the outside but is in a good location.late at nite there is also a pretty good gathering of girls next in the billiard club.these girls are cheap.500 to 1000 max. you can take them to your hotel or they all go in this small hotel right there forgot the name for about 200 peseso. but the place lokks dirty to me, so for girls without an id card i use the cahella 400 pesos but clean.this is actually a nice hotel and woild be worth syaying there.

just reading over some old posts and saw this. careful people, don't want to see anybody get in a jam. if the girl does not have ceduula there is no usually a reason. often it means either they are **** or have been in trouble somewhere and it was confirep001ed or they are afraid to return and get it back.(policia, ripped somebody off, ect...) the ramifications of either scenario are not positive.

I've been to the North Coast a couple of times but currently the best air deals I can get are from Spirit to SD (Spirit has some pretty good specials connecting in Ft. Lauderdale until Sunday). The arrival is 2:15 PM and the last Caribe tours bus to Sosua is I think 6pm. Is it reasonable to expect to get through customs/luggage and afternoon traffic by cab to the Caribe station in SD in that time? I've never been to SD and I have no sense of traffic or the airport. TIA.

Based on my own experience, I'd say you should have no problem making the 5 PM bus and may well catch the 4 o'clock. To put your mind further at ease, according to the Caribe Tours website http://www.caribetours.com.do/, the last bus to Sosua leaves at 7 PM.

The trip takes about 4.5-5 hours and costs 7-8 US dollars. Taxi from SDQ to Caribe Tours maybe $25-30.
