Sosua Reports

[Artisttyp]

Touristic police (Politur) arrested 30 dominican and haitian girls in Sosua today. The girls were acussed of prostitution and robbing to tourists. The girls used narcotics to sleep their victims and stealing their possesions.

The operative respond to the persistent complaints and denunciations of the hotel industralists of Sosúa and Puerto Plata, as well as of the own tourists, of which they were objects of despoliation of properties .


Longer drinking hours for some
The Ministry of the Interior and Police has announced that it will relax some restrictions on the sale of alcoholic beverages. The new measure will allow bars and other venues to stay open longer on one, specified, day a week.

In order to obtain the permission required, the establishment must request a permit in writing, specifying which day of the week they wish to remain open for the extended period. According to El Nuevo Diario, Minister Franklin Almeyda made the announcement during a meeting with bar, nightclub and restaurant owners. Each establishment must ensure proper security, including strict supervision of weapons and a safe place to store them. Santo Domingo has some 600 nightspots and over 65,000 corner stores known as "colmadones" that feature loud music and sidewalk service.

The decision could herald the end of the ban on alcohol sales outside hotels nationwide. The ban is in effect after midnight on Monday to Thursday, and after 2am on weekends and holidays.

I found the link for the liquor story on DR1 but I couldn't find mention of the sosua round -up. Do you have a source for that story ? Oddly enough getting drugged *and robbed is not something I have heard people talk about in sosua. Usually it's just a question of things missing and the occasional slap/hit/ presence of a knife.

I did find another website that mentioned a drug gang shoot out in the charamicos neighborhood the last week of may. Does anyone know about this ?

Again I never got a bad vibe from charamicos. Many of us have walked around there and made new friends.

It seems to me that there is alot more surfacing these days. I saw some hells angels down there which is really weird.

It appears as though Sosua has a new police force that's cracking down on these girls. If in fact this is the case it could sway the Chicas to pick the first gringo who offers 2000 peso to get them off the streets fast during the nights. Worst case scenario for them is, if they do wait out the night for the 3000 plus peso gringo it's like the game Monopoly don't collect $200 go strait to Jail.

Sosua police sacked after corruption allegations

The Sosua police force were in turmoil last week (May 29th) after the head of the National Police, Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzmán Fermín ordered the replacement of all police personnel in Sosua.

Growing dissatisfaction with the ability of the local police and constant rumours of police being involved in the distribution of drugs in the area were the reasons given for this drastic turn of events. Sosua residents say they are afraid to go out in the town after 8pm and that drug trafficking is now becoming blatantly visible.

Puerto Plata Department Inspector Colonel José Antonio Hernández Guzmán was replaced by Colonel Dionisio Rafael López, while Deputy Assistant Director of Criminal Investigations, Lieutenant Colonel Manuel de Jesús Féliz Bello, was replaced by Lieutenant Colonel José Mercedes Alcántara Ruiz.

All outgoing senior officers have been suspended for 30 days and sent to police headquarters in Santo Domingo for investigation.

Junior officers have been replaced and will also be investigated through the Central Directorate of Internal Affairs to determine whether they have any link with the allegations.

Several residents we spoke to were positive that the changes would improve the area. Previously residents had complained that there was a noticeable increase in drug trafficking on the streets over the last couple of years and that local police seemed unable or unwilling to do much about it.

Major General Guzmán Fermín has given strict instructions to the ingoing officers to be firm in their dealings with law breakers and drug dealers, insisting that priority be given to ensuring that that peace is restored to the tourist town, and that police always respect human rights.

The National Police head has also appealed to residents to continue to notify them of any actual or suspected crimes and they are committed to investigate them in a transparent and expeditious manner. A hotline number has also been set up for residents to call to report a crime on 809-685-2020. All callers will be treated in confidence.

In a separate statement at the National Palace, Major General Guzmán Fermín denied that violence and crime has increased in the country in recent months.
“We are going to deliver statistics showing that the most violent eastern area has seen reduced crime and violence due to preventative actions by the National Police.”
He reiterated that he can demonstrate that there has been a reduction in violence and crime, underpinned with statistical data they have, and an assessment made by staff.

He stressed that the Police are working with statistics, focusing on crimes in the neighbourhoods that most require it, and that it is of utmost importance to accept timely feedback from citizens and respect the individuals’ rights.

just go to classicos at night can't go wrong lol

as for eating

it depends

if you want more dominican food i would try suzanas

its off the main roan between the white pilars

if you want american food try baileys or pjs.





as for the whole picture incident
i think we all can agree at this point is it even worth the risk?
i for one; armed with this knowledge ;would not even take pics of putas anymore. even if they are in public clubs or in bars....this will simply make you a potential target.


just go down
have your fun trat the people with respect and leave.
i remember once in costa rica after a long day i was fast asleep in my hotel room.around 4am i heard a banging at my door.i got up to look out my peephole and noticed it was the room right next to me not mine.
i open the door and i see a girl with a guy working at the hotel talking my fellow gringo neighbor
the hotel dude was like she says she left her jacket in here and you didnt pay her.gringo dude was an asshole.throws the jackout the door and says here is her jacket
yeah i paid her then slams the door shut.
chick starts crying to hotel dude saying she has no cab money........
hoteldude says well all i can tell you to do is call the police.
i dont know who was telling the truth but my gut was telling me the girl was.
i gave her some change i had on the dresser then went back to bed

i can easily see this girl getting someone to get revenge on the fella if she hold a grudge.

i guess my point is try not to screw with the locals too much
and ask yourself is this really worth the potential problems when doing something you know may not be too right.
i know of plenty times i agreed to a price with a girl
took her back to my place.didnt enjoy the screw but paid her the agree dprice anyway.
so be it

another quick story.on a trip down to dr i took a buddy of mine down who had neer been before
we were hanging out at that loud ass club latinos
this kinda ugly chick was latched onto him but he could not say no. and just get rid of her
he tells me 30 min later that she said she would give him a quicky bj at this place down the street he just has to pay for the room and 500 pesos for the bj and they were off
30 min later he was calling my cell."im in a situation i need you to meet me someplace i need some help"
keep in mind he didnt know the area well especially at night.
when going to meet him i thought he meant another place and just by chance i saw him on the street as my motoconcho was going by.
when i got off he told me he needed 3000 pesos and would give it back to me later
apparently he said the chick was giving him a bj then stopped got on top of him for 3 min then stopped.
when she got off he procedded to give her the 500 the had agreed to and she was like nope
you got pussy so that will be 3000.yes over top notch $$ for a woman that was a 4.that was her game and my friend said the dude at the front of the hotel desk (i ont know which one he went to)was looking by the door like yeah im in on it too sucker,dont try to run.

so moral of the 2nd story is make sure your wingmen and monger buddies use good judgment also if they are going to hang with you
yeah he made a bad choice going off with her but i think he made a good choice to just pay her off and not try to fight it.
again its their turf not yours.

thank you - patrk39,

the information you provided is very much appreciated. i am not new to the female vacation craft but new to the town of sosua. like many others who are visiting a destination for the first time, i like to hit the ground running and don’t like to waste 2, 3, even 4 days to acclimate myself to my new surroundings. there is nothing worse then taking a weeks vacation and only really getting into it the last few days, because you spent the first few trying to understanding the landscape. i and others will use these gems you provided to save time and hit it hard soon after arrival.

what about a few breakfast places with great ambiance? what are your top 3?

[QUOTE=Aussyfries]Hi fellas,

First time Sosua visitor, experienced traveler. I have a couple of questions on lodging:

1. Is Las Terrazas Condos worth the money? How guest friendly is it?

2. How about Hotel Waterfront, is it guest friendly?

Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate any suggestions!
Las Terrazas condos are located at the end of Dr. Rosen. A little further from the action but still walking distance and quieter as well I would imagine. They are as nice as it gets in Sosua and are guest friendly. Price is $100/day but monthly rate is half that so it depends how long you plan on staying.
I've heard Waterfront has good food but don't know much about lodging. Doesn't seem too popular among mongers so I would guess it's not the greatest for our type of activity.
As stated earlier there are lots of other options. New Garden, Rocky's and Hotel Orchidee are on Dr. Rosen as well and closer to the action. I've heard hotel Orchidee is quiet and has a good restaurant on the rooftop. It's kind of secluded and from the street you don't even know it's there if not for the sign. Hope this helps. Have fun!

[Puerto La Cruz]

Waterfront is not guest friendly, particularly as they lock up the front gate later in the evening. You have to rattle it or yell for security to let you in.
Plenty of other alternatives around. Great pool though.

Since Terrazas is located on the girl friendly list in the Hotels thread, then yes they are friendly. Waterfront is not located on the list so they are, not girl friendly.

Can't turn a ho into a housewife.

I've seen this shit happen in Rio, Cartagena, Lima, Caracas, Samto Domingo, and Guatamala. And now add Sosua and Quito to that. Have fun posting pics, but be forewarned. There are consequences.

There is this really informative story on the Kenya board of a man that lived in Kenya for a while and has a Kenyan girlfriend. Went to Mombasa and picked up a girl in a bar and after having fun she went to the room they got her in the hotel separate from his and his girlfriends. Cops came early morning and were looking for baby-powder third planted in his room, accused him of drug possession. He fought it, but lawyers still cost more than was neccessary. At time of post it was not fully resolved. But he had been able to establish that the third girl was in on the scam and so were cops.

There is police corruption in Chi-town, Rome and NYC. In our first-world countries where we have "rights" we can read about people with lawyers that fell asleep during the trial or were so incompetent they stood by while an innocent man was convicted. So what's my point, it is that even in a so-called first-world country simply fitting the wrong profile can get you detained overnight/for a week or for 20+ years. Two mistaken eye-witnesses and you can be put in the fight of your life.

The DR is ranked 99 out of 179 ( ranking for year 2006) by Transparency Int'l which studies corruption issues worldwide. DR scored 3 out of a possible 10 (10 means least corrupt); and tied with Armenia and Lebanon among others.

So to me this is like the condom issue. We all know how people with AIDS take 20-30 pills per day if they can afford it and we see how they slim down to almost nothing. We know how men with other STD's see their dicks resemble candied yams while they take anti-biotics that cause diarrhea and constipation alternately. If you don't choose to strap up, I wish you well and hope you truly understand the risks you are taking. I choose to strap up.

If you think he chicas are so dumb, etc, etc and this site requires a membership so they will never see the pic; you are entitled to your opinion. But you may be forgetting the lengths men go thru when they get hit by the Capt-Save-A-Ho syndrome.

"This girl is different!" That's what they tell themselves as they change their long-distance plan to be able to talk to her nightly. This girl that they met in Classicos or Latinos for a $50 usd TLN is different - she was just doing this due to her new baby, sick mother, college plans, ailing elephant, etc. "This girl is different" they tell themselves as they send the $200/week USD or EUR. Or the $2000 per month USD or EUR.

She's so much more affectionate than any other chica they ever met while mongering, nothing like their nag of an ex-wife. They love to hear her squeal and coo in their ears with the lies they want to hear. "Te amo Papi. Cuidate" [I love you papi, goodnight. (literally 'cuidate' is 'take care of yourself.')]

Then one day when Capt-Save-A-Ho is $5,000 USD into his special lady and actively pursuing the immigration steps, he is reading the forum he was reading prior to his trip where he met his "bebe" and goodness gracious. That's his Maritza, except you're calling her Angelina in your posts. Picture 1- she has her clothes on in your hotel room. Picture 2 - now she's topless. Picture 3 - she's naked and jerking off with a presidente bottle. Picture 4 - your dick is in her mouth. Picture 5- your washing your spunk off her face with the presidente, and she's smiling!

Capt-Save-A-Ho is devastated. He springs into action, he calls up and demands to know how she spends her time, he tells her to go online [with the internet access he pays for so she could email him pictures with the digital cam he sent her] and he gives her this site address. He gives her HIS username and HIS password and directs her to the post with her pics. She remembers this pose, the presidente, that hotel room. She remembers you! You're going to pay for this pendejo. When did you tell her you were coming back, en Agosto?

So to sum up it's like wearing a condom, if it's not your thing, you're right. If it's my thing, I'm right. I sometimes see guys on a motorcycle with only a t-shirt on doing 70 mph. It's their thing, could never be mine. You've seen Capt-Save-A-Ho. That guy who got too shit-faced for someone in a cathouse. The one grinning too widely just cause he's pawing a 20 y.o. I'm not putting my life in his hands, I'm blurring faces.

If you don't, I truly appreciate the pics. Cuidate.

Unless some one forgot this is a site for mongers. Some of these reports warning of posting pics should be moved to the Mother Theresa web site to warn any one in the nonmonger world. Street justice crap, as Tony Soprano says, you need to Sleep With the Fish in Sosua Bay.

Well, the going rate in Sosua is now $3,000+, if a scorned chica finds out. And apparently, some mongers have been the ones ratting out other mongers' pics, which is why dude was placed in JAIL. It was against the law there. That incident alone should be a shot across the bow to all mongers in Sosua. Word gets around fast down there. 2nd dude busted this year already.

Street justice??? Nah, just Sosua justice. This wasn't some fake New Jersey tv mafia shit. Keep downplaying the hustling ability of Dominicanas. Go right ahead.

Just like every other monger on this board, I like seeing pics too. However, having learned the hard way (not $3k later), you won't catch me posting any pics on this board, with or without permission. And I have 1,000s of pics. Some dudes get so caught up with putas that they lose their common sense, collateral damage be damned. Can't turn a ho into a housewife.

I've seen this shit happen in Rio, Cartagena, Lima, Caracas, Samto Domingo, and Guatamala. And now add Sosua and Quito to that. Have fun posting pics, but be forewarned. There are consequences.
