Enjoyed the bus ride part enormously. Also the spirit of going beyond the usual, despite the handicap of the language. Kudos! BTW, You may have another career ahead of you. Being the chronicler of your journeys. I mean you obviously must be taking down notes of places and their names along with your thoughts. Much appreciated.I am enjoying the journey as much as the sex. LOL.

[GrownMan1]

we left sosua at 1245 hrs and arrived in nagua at 1405 hrs. i could best describe the ride as a roller coaster. dude drove like a bat out of hell and he only slowed down for the few towns were there were speed bumps. i reached for my seatbelt and guess what? yes sir not! this guy would swerve and weave like it was in the indy 500. every time he would cross the center line to pass i regretted not saying my prayers before i left. anyways i arrived safe in one piece.
.unfucking believed. you guys were flying dude! sosua is about 110 mile from nagua.

[Camaro1257]

Unfucking believed. You guys were flying dude! Sosua is about 110 mile from Nagua.I will never forget reaching for the seatbelt and after not finding one saying. OH SHIT. LOL.

[Camaro1257]

A few other thoughts.

Now that I am back home I have had time to reflect. I have lived in a big pretentious city for the past 28 years and quite frankly I am sick of the fakeness. I know the Dominican Republic is a place where a gringo can get jacked up in a heartbeat where the rule of law is really the rule of who you know and how much money you have but the below listed things endear me to this country:

•I met several people in Nagua they greeted me warmly. I sensed sincerity and no one had their hand out.

•I got lost while walking around Nagua as there were no street signs. I flagged a moto and he takes me back to the hotel waits then takes me to the casa de cambio for change and back to the hotel. I gave him 200 pesos his face lit up like I gave him a million dollars saying "muchas gracias!" I thought to myself "really?

•There is plenty a street food in Parque Central on the weekends. There is this young dude with a cart must be in his early 20's. Dude humps on the grill! I tell him what I want what does he do? He clears off some milk carts so I can sit down while he cooks. The food was great maybe 150 pesos I gave him 200 pesos again I get this look like I gave him a million dollars! I repeat go back the next day same thing he sees me his face lites up again he humps on the grill and I repeat giving him something extra when I pay. How am I supposed to have anything but respect for this dude who is working his ass off?

•I get invited to a guys house everybody gives me a warm greeting smiles and says have a seat. The vibe of hospitality was very welcoming.

•I met 3 chicas in the park. 1 was bored I had to crack a joke to make her smile, the other had sunglasses on she was mad kool and the 3rd was friendly bouncing off the walls doing all the talking. I liked the kool chic she was sexy but I was trying to figure out how I was going to get at her when a car pulls up with tinited windows and they ran off. I don't know it they were novios or familia but the experience of talking to those who were obviously not pros was priceless.

•The highlight was the gua gua conductor handling at times 20+ passengers in a 15 passenger bus. Dude was sooooooo suave hitting on the chicas he had me rolling. I thought "this is what Hanzo sounds like!

•I like Colombia also but in all my trips to Cartagena, Cali and Medellin I have never had the experiences I am having as I travel throughout the Dominican Republic. I can buy sex anywhere on the planet but these other experiences I am having cannot be bought.

Once again I am thoroughly aware that the Dominican Republic is NO Utopia but in all the countries I have travelled to I have yet to have as diverse experiences. After a career and life full of drama I yearn for something more simple therefore it is the simple things that I have experienced that make my travel worthwhile.

[BrasilSoccer0]

I noticed that the girls from Moca look really pretty. I have a lot who are friends on FB.

What is your opinion of the girls there compared to other places. Non pro!

I see it doesn't have beaches unfortuantly.


Brethern of the board! I've decided to break up my 3/22 to 3/31 trip to Sosua with side trips to Samana and Moca. Moca to visit a chica I met on online, Samana just to see the Penisula. My questions are. 1. I'd like to see Las Terranas, Las Galeras, and Samana Bay. Is LT close enough to the others for me to use it as a base and do the other two as a day trip? 2. Should I leave from Santiago, which is near Moca. Or is it easier to go to Samana from Sosua? I'll be taking a Caribe tours bus. Thanks in advance!

I see it doesn't have beaches unfortuantly.I have not been to Moca as of yet perhaps next year. I think it would be error to judge Dominican women as a group regardless as to where they are from because while they share the same culture they are not all the same. The biggest thing will be learning Spanish so you can communicate with them. Experience has taught me that more often than not people tell and show you everything you need to know about them.

[Tempoecorto]

So it panned out pretty well. SD to Piedra Blanca, on to Cotui (saw the entry to mine- I think owned by Rio Tinto), then on to Pimentel yesterday. This morning, wanted a cup of coffee at breakfast. Went to a colmado in Pimentel and asked the woman if she knows a cafeteria. Pimentel has no restaurant to speak of. I had pica pollo last night and a shitty one even for a Chinese place. Anyway, the lady was so nice, she arranged for real cafe con leche, with milk and coffee in two separate porcelain pots. I was so pleasantly surprised by the old world presentation that I left her with a bag of chocolates that I carry with me. As some of you mentioned, DR is immensely reachable at a people to people level.

Left Pimentel at 1030 and used google map. Went through places like Castillo, Villa Riva and Arenas. Beautiful views that of the rice paddies and white herons feeding. Made a silly mistake: Off the Nagua-SD highway, they have built a new highway that takes one to Las Terrenas. To my shock, the rate I paid was 507 pesos. The SUVs are like 1000+. I asked the woman if it was a "broma". In a place where people make 6000 pesos per month, it is obscene. I am going back to Sosua tomorrow, via Nagua for a couple of days but will go via Sanchz. No stupid highway.

Las Terrenas is full of Italians I noticed. I asked one I met at a comedor to recommend a place close to the water. The evening dinner too was a fantastic panino with tuna and eggs. The bread made by an Italian, I was told on inquiry. No women today / tonight. For the next three days, I should have a good line up of visitors at my private house. With overnight stays. Jee, I should buy some toothbrushes as gifts.

Introduction:

Gentleman I just completed the Las Terrenas segment of my Sosua-Las Terrenas excursion. This trip is a continuation of my travel odyssey throughout the Dominican Republic, it is my intention to see as much of the island as possible. This synopsis Las Terrenas trip report will cut to the meat of my experience in Las Terrenas and is a companion to my Sosua trip report.

Las Terrenas:

I have a colleague who was born in the Dominican Republic, I was telling him that I was going to visit Las Terrenas. He looked at me with a puzzled expression and said "what?" I repeated Las Terrenas and pointed to the location on a map of the Dominican Republic and he laughed at me saying "ohhhhhhhhhhh La Terrena" and we both got a good laugh out of it. Dominicans often do not pronounce the "s" in many of their words and in this case the "s" made the difference between his understanding and misunderstanding. That was a valuable lesson for me going forward as I continue to speak Spanish in the Dominican Republic.

Las Terrenas is a small town of approximately 10,000 people on the north east coast of the Dominican Republic in-between Nagua and Samana in the Samana province. Las Terrenas is not only a retirement destination for European expats it is also a vacation spot for Dominicans who live in Santo Doming and surrounding areas. Las Terrenas offers miles of protected beaches that make.

Transportation to Las Terrenas:

I caught the gua gua to Las Terrenas in Charamicos the ride was 300 DOP. Times are as follows:

Depart: Charamicos- 1:30 pm.

Arrive: Nagua- 4 pm.

Arrive: Las Terrenas- 5:30.

This gua gua was a little more comfortable than the Nagua gua gua because it was air-conditioned. We started with 15 people and ended up with 22 at the high point. They had to put our luggage on the roof. There were times when I didn't think we were going to make it up some of the long steep hills. I felt comfortable when I saw the palm trees on the shore of Nagua since I was just there last month. We stopped at the restaurant in Nagua and took a 15 minute break then hit the road again. My big mistake was not sitting in the window seat when I first got on, you get squeezed seriously if you are not sitting on one of the window seats, lesson learned.

I arrived in Las Terrenace safe. Of course I am lost and don't know where I am so I take a taxi to the Albachiara Hotel and I paid 200 DOP to go 2 minutes I could have walked DAMMIT!

For my return to Sosua I had to rise early but this time I walked to the bus stop.

Depart: Las Terrenas-6:30 am.

Arrive: Nagua -0815 am.

Arrive: Sosua- 11:30 am.

The trip both ways was safe and inexpensive but 5 hours in a crowded gua gua squeezed like sardines can be brutal.

Albacharia Hotel:

I picked this spot based on what turned out to be an excellent recommendation. The staff greeted me taking my bags and with a glass of lemonade. Wurr dey do datt at? Everybody was welcoming with a smile.

Then I got to my room now let me say there is no Jacuzzi like Hotel Sinai in Nagua but this room is off the chain! It faces the pool with a balcony, then you enter the kitchenette and dining area and then the bedroom with a king size bed. All I could think is this is not a mongering hotel I need a novia to really appreciate the vibe in this spot.

The air-conditioning worked well but the WIFI was intermittent. Free breakfast was served every morning but there were no other meals served at the hotel.

The hotel is a beach front property that is absolutely beautiful with well kept grounds. Everything you need is within walking distance from La Bodega to several restaurants serving different types of cuisine.

The Ron Factory liquor store and the Mini Market Los Principes are within walking distance of the hotel. Both locations had women in front of them at different times of the day that I suspect may have been PFP. In short the hotel is one of the best pieces of real estate for a monger not only because it is girl friendly but because of its location.

Casa de Cambio Fort Knox:

Casa de Cambio Fort Knox is inside the Plaza el Paseo shopping complex within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. They were closing at the time and I got 42.5 DOP-1 US and the cashier gave me all 2 k notes and said she had no change. CONO!

La Bodega (Calle Duarte).

This is the primary night club in Las Terrenace. La Bodega is a multi-layered location that far transcends a simple PFP venue such as Classicos in Sosua. For example a stunning chica negra asked me to dance after which I got my mack on and discovered that she was a "animatora" who dances with the clubs clients and gives professional dance lessons on the side. When I asked her out after work she said "cuando estoy libre estoy cansada gracias por la invatacion" she was very professional and pleasant, only a egomaniac would be offended.

There was a birthday celebration on one of the evenings I was there and differnt couples spread throughout the venue. It was not always easily discernable who was PFP and who wasn't because all the women in attendance were not dressed provocatively. The crowd consisted of local Dominicans, PFP workers, Hatians and tourist. It was truely a mixed bag of nuts.

On some nights the club has live entertainment and when I went there were what looked like impromptu dance contest everything from salsa to group synchronized dancing that had the crowd captivated.

Some of the PFP talent was local and I met chicas from Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Marcios and Monte Plata. I saw no stunners and a few 8's but most women were average. Regardless I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of the place due to the heavy security the variety of entertainment and the fact you didn't have to go home alone if you didn't want to.

Gaia Disco (Calle Francisco Caamano).

Gaia Disco is an indoor venue that has a sushi restaurant on the second floor. It is next door to Clandestino Bar. It is a small venue inside maybe less than 100 person occupancy. There is one bar a dance floor and a strip pole. The music is mostly American and Regetton and the clientele were primarily tourist although I did see a couple of chcias that appeared to be PFP. Small Presidente Lites were 200 DOP. Yeah I didn't stutter.

Clandestino Bar (Calle Francisco Caamano).

Clandestino Bar is across from Gaia Disco and is a partially indoor and partially open air, the rear of the venue faces the beach with an incredible soft breeze at night. The front part is crowded with standing room only but the rear has tables and chairs. The crowd was mixed between locals, tourist and a few PFP chicas but there didn't seem to be that many. The occupancy was less than 100. The music was almost all Regatton while I was there and there was no dance floor. I really liked the vibe especially sitting in the rear facing the beach.

I Biz Bar (Calle Sanchez).

This is a strictly PFP venue. It is an open air bar with a strip pole inside on the dance floor. The house charges 500 DOP for salida and you negotiate the tarifa with the chicas. I saw 2 chicas no more than 6. I never saw it crowded anytime I walked by.

Las Terrenas Car Washes & Cabanas:

Like many Dominican communities car washes serve not only as places to wash your car but social meeting venues. Some are open air venues with pool tables and others have closed buildings attached that serve as discos and bars. These venues have a few chicas who are available for takeout once you pay the salida to the house and negotiate the tarifa with the chica separately.

La Bomba Car Wash (Calle Bolivar).

This venue had an outdoor bar and a building for a disco attached.

El Patio Tropical Car Wash (Calle Sanchez).

This venue had an open air bar and several pool tables.

Son Latino Car Wash (Calle Carmen).

This venue had an open air bar.

Fantastic Hotel (Calle Bomba).

This cabana was within 2 minutes walking distance of La Bomba Car Wash.

*It should be noted all of the above venues were within 10 minutes of one another. There was another cabana in the vicinity however I did not get the name. I did not partake of any of the car washes or cabanas because they were on the other side of town from my hotel and I did not have transportation. In addition I found it unnecessary because there was plenty of PFP within minutes of my hotel.

La Playa Las Terrenas:

The hotel faced the beach and I could walk along the beach at my leisure. The beach was in use frequently for swimming as well as socializing you could see people there throughout different times during the day. There was some PFP action there which could be discernable by the eye contact and greetings. Most of the women I saw were average however I saw 1 or 2 that could have made an audition. Unfortunately this trip there simply was not enough time to sample the talent.

La Playa Cason:

Playa Cason is about 20 minutes from Las Terrenace and a popular weekend destination for locals. It is good for swimming, eating and of course people watching.

Luis Restaurant en Playa Cason:

The primary eating venue on Playa Cason is Luis Restaurant. You pick whatever type of seafood you like and they grill or fry it from red snapper to Lobster. I had the Red Snapper, habichueles why arroz why enselada for 450 DOP. The food was delicious while enjoying the beach.

Chicas en Las Terrenas:

First let me state my comments are strictly my anecdotal experiences and not a reflection of the experiences of others as always YMMV. I didn't get into the chica scene like I do in Sosua. I got the run-a-around from some chicas as well as a chica trying to change the terms of our agreement. I saw more chicas smoking in Las Terrenas than in Sosua which is a turn off to me. I was warned by one chica that the PFP chicas will steal from you without blinking an eye. I did not get a good vibe from many of the obviously PFP chicas it was if they had been hardened by the game.

I had one good PFP experience and she was a referral from another monger other than that my mongering experience in Las Terrenas was a bust.

You can expect to pay the same as most markets in the Dominican Republic 1000-2000 DOP for ST and 2000-3000 DOP for TLN.

Danger in the Dominican Republic:

The below listed comments are intended especially for newbies as DR veterans are quite aware of the facts listed below. My travels thus far throughout the Dominican Republic in general have been very safe. While I was in Las Terrenas at no time did I feel any sense of danger, in fact I felt quite secure and when I got why bearings I walked around freely day and night. However, for those who desire to experience the island and its culture we should not sleep on the potential dangers which are as follows:

Public transportation includes Caribe Tours & Metro buses that have been reported to have had major accidents. Traditional taxis, Carro Publicos (route taxis) Gua Guas (inexpensive route buses) and moto-concho (motocycle taxis) make up the other components of the public transport system. Some drivers that do not obey traffic laws and will take you on what feels like a roller coaster ride at 6 Flags. Although traffic laws exist they are not consistently and judiciously enforced therefore driving in the Dominican Republic can be quite dangerous.

A criminal justice system where the rule of law is how much money you have and who you know. Transparency International reported in its 2013 Corruption Index that the government of the Dominican Republic is "highly corrupt" in comparison with countries like Canada and Finland that were considered to be "very clean. " It is not uncommon for El Policia Nacional to either ask or demand a bribe for an alleged or real violation of the law, each person should let their conscience be their guide in these matters.

The State Department rates the crime threat in the Dominican Republic as high especially in large urban areas such as Santo Domingo and Santiago. The obvious causes being high unemployment and drug trafficking. One of the greatest challenges for tourist is credit card fraud where credit cards are compromised and duplicated so that fraud can be perpetrated.

Political violence is common in the Dominican Republic. For example there is currently a water shortage in some parts of the country and the way locals protests through varying forms of violence to include burning tires shutting down roads and in extreme cases rioting.

Closing thoughts on Las Terrenas.

This trip had multiple purposes in that I continue to explore the Dominican Republic as a place to retire as well as satisfying my curiosity because I have heard so much about the place. Mongering was an interest as always but not the end all be all of my trip. From a retirement perspective I found most everything that was close to the beach more expensive than things further away from the beach. In my opinion geographically the location of Las Terrenas is not convenient because it is not a major transportation hub therefore it could be more difficult to explore the island from there.

I have been to Cabarette several times and if I had to compare Las Terrenas I would say it is the Cabarette of the eastern north coast. Las Terrenas is similar to Cabarette because of its tourism infrastructure however it is different because it is a larger community and the entertainment venues are more spread out. In Cabarette most of the entertainment venues are on the beach however in Las Terrenas the entertainment venues are in different parts of town. Although you can get around Las Terrenas without transportation because of the layout you can experience more with transportation. Las Terrenas is a different community in that you just don't see cars and motos you see quite a few quads and ATV's in town. In short, IMHO Las Terrenas is a nicer more expensive version of Cabarette.

My last excursion was Nagua really wasn't a PFP destination however to the contrary in Las Terrenas it is the exact opposite. Not only do you have the typical car washes and cabanas that are a part of Dominican life and culture but you have a very strong PFP scene in the tourist areas. I did extensive walking around the tourist areas gleaning intel for this report and I was propositioned more than once. There is action on the beach in the street and in the clubs. However, don't get it twisted Las Terrenas is no Sosua in terms of quantity and quality. From my observations 8's do exist however they are few and far between.

While I was in town I was only one of maybe 2 other Afro Americans it was interesting to me to listen to hip hop music in venues where I was the only Afro American present which speaks to the pervasiveness of the hip hop culture.

Conclusion:

There is plenty of PFP action to be had in Las Terrenas but for me it would be a better date location because there is so much to do from the beaches to the waterfalls to clubbing at night that I would like to share. I feel any woman would be able to appreciate that type of excursion and if she didn't she would need to be on life support. I could definitely see myself returning, more than likely with a companion than being solo.

Another option for my return is to study Spanish and take some dance classes so I can get a better feel for the community in balance and not just from the PFP perspective.

I thoroughly enjoyed Las Terrenas it is vibrant and full of energy, it would be difficult to enjoy this place without making multiple trips or one extended trip. This is definitely not a day trip location.

Next up Sosua-Jarabacoa at the end of August I will keep you posted.

[BrasilSoccer0]

Camaro,

I looked up the hotel's website. It says the rates are in the 130-300 USD per night! Is that right? And do you have to pay extra for females spending the night?

As always, useful and smart info.

Thanks.

Thanks.BrasilSoccer I don't remember the price menu but I spent about $125.00 per night. It was high but the property was a good spot geographically and well maintained. It was girl friendly sometimes security checked cedulas and sometimes they didn't. One of mine didn't have hers and security let her through. He was an old guy maybe in his 70's I had been chopping it up with him previously not knowing I would need the favor. I later gave him 200 DOP for the waiver.

Camaro in Jarabacoa Synopsis August 2014.

Gentleman I just completed the Jarabacoa segment of my Sosua-Jarabacoa excursion. This trip is a continuation of my travel odyssey throughout the Dominican Republic, it is my intention to see as much of the island as possible. This synopsis Jarabacoa trip report will cut to the meat of my experience in Jarabacoa and is a companion to my Sosua trip report. I spent 2 days Friday and Saturday in Jarabacoa which was not enough time to experience the town in its entirety but it was sufficient for me to get a taste of what Jarabacoa has to offer.

Jarabacoa.

Jarabacoa is in La Vega province outside Santiago. It has a Tropical rainforest climate at over 500 feet above sea level. It is noted for its warm days and mild nights during most of the year. Jarabacoa has been called "The City of Everlasting Spring" because of its mild temperatures. It is the Medellin of the Dominican Republic with the exception of the fact that it is in the mountains and has the small town feel. One of the main touristic attractions is the mountains and rivers that provide a landscape for the area. The local economy is based on tourism and agriculture.

Most of my travels have included destinations that were close to the beach such as Cabarette, Monti Cristi, Las Terrenas, Nagua, La Romana & Bavaro-Punta Cana. I have spent time in the major cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago however this time I have experienced something different by traveling to the mountains of the Dominican Republic and witnessed the beautiful landscape. One of the things I like about the Island is there is something there for everyone. Unless you like shoveling snow and skiing.

Transportation to Jarabacoa.

I decided to walk from New Garden to the Metro Station and of course I was flagged down by several hungry taxistas, first I heard "oye amigo eighty dollars to Santiago" How he knew I was going to Santiago and not Puerto Plata is beyond me. But the second one almost made me stop in my tracks "50 dollars to Santiago. " I know the taxi fare from Santiago to Sosua starts at $100.00 so to hear an offer of $50.00 was quite surprising but still couldn't beat the 200 pesos Metro fare.

The Metro ride to Santiago went smooth and I arrived safe.

I have an acquaintance who lives in Santiago and operates a private taxi so I met him in Santiago and took the hour ride to Jarabacoa. The ride to Jaraboca was interesting because the city is over 500 feet above sea level so the hills are brutal so brutal in fact my ears popped as we were ascending up the long windy roads.

The normal public transportation route from Sosua to Jarabacoa would be to take the Caribe Tours bus in Charamicos to Le Vega and either take a taxi or gua gua to Jarabacoa. There is also a Carribe Tours station in Jarabacoa.

Hotel Gran Jimanoa.

The hotel grounds are well maintained. The hotel has a feel of a rustic mountain retreat combined with a mid-luxury hotel. My room faced a river that provides a tranquil ambiance. The room has a balcony that faced the river and I accidently left the balcony sliding door open and the mosquitoes came in and ate their lunch. Conyo!

The room was neat and clean with a sitting area and 2 queen beds. There is a digital safe with a mini fridge. The air-conditioning worked well. My primary criticsm would be WIFI was not available in the rooms but only in the common areas and the rooms did not have ceiling fans. There were several power outages during my stay however after a few moments the auxiliary generator kicked in to restore power.

The staff was very accommodating and no one speaks English Ohhh snapp!

This is a great place to clear your mind. This was not the Hotel Sinai in Naugua with its small town urban feel nor was it the Albachairia Hotel in Las Terrenas with its beach front Caribbean feel. There were no 30 foot boats out in front of my room on Sosua Bay like I experience at the Victoria House in Sousa. My room had a river outside within 20 feet walking distance. 24/7 I can hear the water running over the rocks it sounds like it is raining but it is the most tranquilizing sounds I have ever heard. This is a welcome contrast in my most recent hotel experiences. These hotels are not just places to stay but they are reflections of the personality and character of the Dominican Republic.

Resturante Piedras del Rio.

The Restaurant at Stones River is the Hotel Gran Jimanoa's restaurant on the property. It is an open air venue with a scenic view of El Rio Piedras. The sound of the water crashing over the rocks adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Breakfast is included and is self serve buffet style.

The restaurant has a bar that serves whatever beverages that you like. I only ate breakfast there I took the rest of my meals in town because I was on the go since my stay was so short.

Parque Pablo Duarte.

Parque Pablo Duarte is on Calle Pablo Duarte in the center of town. Nagua has a park in the center of town just like Jarabacoa and it is the center of the social scene there. Parque Central in Nagua is electric on the weekends almost like a mini Dominican mardi gras. I would describe Parque Pablo Duarte as Parque Central lite. It has a similar energy but not as intense. There was street food and different clubs all within steps of the park. There seemed to be more men than women but there were groups of single women that were obviously available if you know what I mean?

Across the street from the park is Caribe Express casa de cambio where I received 43.35 DOP-1 US.

Jarabacoa Regular Night Life.

Jarabacoa has no shortage on venues that support an active night life. There are small bars, drinks and clubs all over the town. Jarabacoa in a way is set up like Nagua where there are night life venues that are set up around the towns central park. Below I have listed only a few of the venues:

AK Bar- Pablo Duarte (park area).

This is an open air venue with a bar inside and tables and chairs that face inside and outside the club. This a regular bar with music but no dance floor. It is a good spot to people watch because it sits at the corner and you can see Parque Pablo Duarte from inside the venue.

Palobar Drink. Pablo Duarte (park area).

This is an indoor venue with a bar inside and outside so that you can get your drinks before you enter the club. It is on the same street as Parque Pablo Duarte and you can walk to the park in less than 50 yards. This venue has a dance floor and seats that surround the wall.

V Venue -La Avenida.

This is an indoor venue that is about 10 minutes by car from the aforementioned venues. The inside was very classy with a bar large dance floor an several VIP areas that surrounded the walls. The venue reminded me of the Gaia Disco in Las Terrenas in term of the indoor layout.

All of the venues have a local feel and are not touristy. The above listed venues only scratch the surface of what is available in Jarabacoa. Thus far my impression is that this is a better destination for a date than for a single traveler.

Jarabacoa Sex Venues.

Jarabacoa is the typical Dominican town that has car washes and casa de citas as sex venues. The car washes double as actual car washes and venues were drinks are served music is playing and the chicas are available for what you can negotiate. I was unable to locate a freelance venue like Classicos and the other venues were mediocre at best. Below I have listed the venues I visited:

Super Cafeteria Juniors. Calle Libertad.

This venue is a casa de cita that has a bar dance floor and rooms in the back. They do not serve food so do not ask me why they included "cafeteria" in the name unless they consider the chicas to be food. There were a half dozen chicas there no more than 6's and absolutely nothing to brag about. The chicas were available for in house and take out.

San Miguel Car Wash- Calle Cinco de la Colonia.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout. It was an open air venue down stairs with a second floor with pool tables. I only saw 3 chicas available none better than a 6.

Chachi Car Wash- Calle Principal.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout but it could have been closed because there was no one there other than 2 chicas behind the bar. It was an open air venue down stairs with a second floor with pool tables.

Franks Car Wash- Catera Ato Viejo.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout and it was the best of all the venues as the woman were more alive and interesting. There were a half dozen chicas behind the bar and a couple were good 7's. They were blancas just like Hugrad likes them. I thought about staying because 1 of the blancas was staring at me but it was getting late and I was tired from a long day.

Based on what I saw I would not recommend Jarabacoa to the monger to travel solo.

My anecdotal experience.

My intent was to take a date to Jarabacoa because it is a better date location than PFP location but my plans failed and I am glad they did because I was afforded one of my better experiences in the Dominican Republic. My driver made a personal introduction of a friend of his youth he grew up with. She was presented not as a PFP opportunity but as a meet and greet with potential going forward. I spent a little less than 2 hours speaking with her over a virgin pina colada and water and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a woman in the Dominican Republic. I say that because most of my experiences with Dominicanas has been PFP. I have met other civilian women but she was the best to date.

This woman was a part-time model and supervised other models in a modeling agency along with being a full time medical student. I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to hear a woman talk about her desire to travel internationally so she can help children as a pediatrician. What a refreshing experience that didn't include "dame tu leche!

Perhaps other mongers will give me the side eye but I would willing spend money to see this woman again sin sexo and not think twice. I can knock down 3 PFP Sosua chicas a day but the experience I had with this woman could not be purchased. To show you how intense it was I met several women after her some of which who were 8's and I was not interested because I was still high from the experience. Honestly recently I have been spending too much damn time with PFP chicas and I need something different. Forgive me for saying so but IMHO every monger needs to date a true civilian chica just once and add some flavor to the mix.

Jarabacoa closing thoughts.

I did not get to do everything on the ground I had planned because my driver's car broke down and was out of service for the better part of a whole day. In addition it rained off and on my entire stay and many of the things I wanted to experience were outdoor activities. I am confident I will try to return to Jarabacoa in the future to finish what I started.

You definitely need wheels in Jarabacoa because everything is so spread out. If you choose not to rent a car you can work a deal with a local taxista that is mutually beneficial for both. While my driver's car was down I rented a taxi for a 200 pesos and hour to run some errands.

Jarabacoa is a diverse community. There are natural activities to do during the day such as zip-lining, horseback riding, hiking and rafting. The night life with clubs and bars is abundant. In addition there is PFP available albeit mediocre at best.

Jarbacoa has a central park like Nagua where everybody gathers on Saturday & Sunday nights. The area is festive with music, food carts along with motos and Jeeptahs everywhere in typical Dominican fashion. There were couples and singles walking to and from the different clubs. Some of the chicas appeared to be available for PFP and others not so much.

With the exception of the rain I experienced the climate was very pleasant. It was maybe about 80 degrees during the day and about 68 degrees at night. The climate was a lot more comfortable than the beach towns I am accustomed to visiting.

When I was in La Romana I noticed more dark complexioned (los negros) Dominicans (not Haitians but Dominicans) than any other part of the Island. Conversely, in Jarabacoa I noticed more light complexioned (los blancos) Dominicans, (some looked very European) than any other part of the Island I have visited.

Jarabacoa cannot compete with Santo Domingo or Santiago as far as women are concerned but there were a few bonitas out and about. However as far as small Dominican towns that I have visited Nagua has Jarabacoa beat hands down.

Conclusion.

In 2 days I had no sex but I had an incredible experience instead and I look forward to returning to Jarabacoa. I will return to Sosua to do what mongers do in Sosua but my Jarabacoa experience will remain in the back of my mind.

I highly recommend Jarabacoa to anyone who enjoys the culture of the Dominican Republic it will leave you with a unique experience that you are not likely to forget.

I have 2 more excursions planned before the end of the year one in October and the other in November. I have not decided between Villa Altagracia, La Vega, Banao or Mao I will keep you posted going forward.

Camaro in Jarabacoa Synopsis August 2014.

Gentleman I just completed the Jarabacoa segment of my Sosua-Jarabacoa excursion. This trip is a continuation of my travel odyssey throughout the Dominican Republic, it is my intention to see as much of the island as possible. This synopsis Jarabacoa trip report will cut to the meat of my experience in Jarabacoa and is a companion to my Sosua trip report. I spent 2 days Friday and Saturday in Jarabacoa which was not enough time to experience the town in its entirety but it was sufficient for me to get a taste of what Jarabacoa has to offer.

Jarabacoa.

Jarabacoa is in La Vega province outside Santiago. It has a Tropical rainforest climate at over 500 feet above sea level. It is noted for its warm days and mild nights during most of the year. Jarabacoa has been called "The City of Everlasting Spring" because of its mild temperatures. It is the Medellin of the Dominican Republic with the exception of the fact that it is in the mountains and has the small town feel. One of the main touristic attractions is the mountains and rivers that provide a landscape for the area. The local economy is based on tourism and agriculture.

Most of my travels have included destinations that were close to the beach such as Cabarette, Monti Cristi, Las Terrenas, Nagua, La Romana & Bavaro-Punta Cana. I have spent time in the major cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago however this time I have experienced something different by traveling to the mountains of the Dominican Republic and witnessed the beautiful landscape. One of the things I like about the Island is there is something there for everyone. Unless you like shoveling snow and skiing.

Transportation to Jarabacoa.

I decided to walk from New Garden to the Metro Station and of course I was flagged down by several hungry taxistas, first I heard "oye amigo eighty dollars to Santiago" How he knew I was going to Santiago and not Puerto Plata is beyond me. But the second one almost made me stop in my tracks "50 dollars to Santiago. " I know the taxi fare from Santiago to Sosua starts at $100.00 so to hear an offer of $50.00 was quite surprising but still couldn't beat the 200 pesos Metro fare.

The Metro ride to Santiago went smooth and I arrived safe.

I have an acquaintance who lives in Santiago and operates a private taxi so I met him in Santiago and took the hour ride to Jarabacoa. The ride to Jaraboca was interesting because the city is over 500 feet above sea level so the hills are brutal so brutal in fact my ears popped as we were ascending up the long windy roads.

The normal public transportation route from Sosua to Jarabacoa would be to take the Caribe Tours bus in Charamicos to Le Vega and either take a taxi or gua gua to Jarabacoa. There is also a Carribe Tours station in Jarabacoa.

Hotel Gran Jimanoa.

The hotel grounds are well maintained. The hotel has a feel of a rustic mountain retreat combined with a mid-luxury hotel. My room faced a river that provides a tranquil ambiance. The room has a balcony that faced the river and I accidently left the balcony sliding door open and the mosquitoes came in and ate their lunch. Conyo!

The room was neat and clean with a sitting area and 2 queen beds. There is a digital safe with a mini fridge. The air-conditioning worked well. My primary criticsm would be WIFI was not available in the rooms but only in the common areas and the rooms did not have ceiling fans. There were several power outages during my stay however after a few moments the auxiliary generator kicked in to restore power.

The staff was very accommodating and no one speaks English Ohhh snapp!

This is a great place to clear your mind. This was not the Hotel Sinai in Naugua with its small town urban feel nor was it the Albachairia Hotel in Las Terrenas with its beach front Caribbean feel. There were no 30 foot boats out in front of my room on Sosua Bay like I experience at the Victoria House in Sousa. My room had a river outside within 20 feet walking distance. 24/7 I can hear the water running over the rocks it sounds like it is raining but it is the most tranquilizing sounds I have ever heard. This is a welcome contrast in my most recent hotel experiences. These hotels are not just places to stay but they are reflections of the personality and character of the Dominican Republic.

Resturante Piedras del Rio.

The Restaurant at Stones River is the Hotel Gran Jimanoa's restaurant on the property. It is an open air venue with a scenic view of El Rio Piedras. The sound of the water crashing over the rocks adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Breakfast is included and is self serve buffet style.

The restaurant has a bar that serves whatever beverages that you like. I only ate breakfast there I took the rest of my meals in town because I was on the go since my stay was so short.

Parque Pablo Duarte.

Parque Pablo Duarte is on Calle Pablo Duarte in the center of town. Nagua has a park in the center of town just like Jarabacoa and it is the center of the social scene there. Parque Central in Nagua is electric on the weekends almost like a mini Dominican mardi gras. I would describe Parque Pablo Duarte as Parque Central lite. It has a similar energy but not as intense. There was street food and different clubs all within steps of the park. There seemed to be more men than women but there were groups of single women that were obviously available if you know what I mean?

Across the street from the park is Caribe Express casa de cambio where I received 43.35 DOP-1 US.

Jarabacoa Regular Night Life.

Jarabacoa has no shortage on venues that support an active night life. There are small bars, drinks and clubs all over the town. Jarabacoa in a way is set up like Nagua where there are night life venues that are set up around the towns central park. Below I have listed only a few of the venues:

AK Bar- Pablo Duarte (park area).

This is an open air venue with a bar inside and tables and chairs that face inside and outside the club. This a regular bar with music but no dance floor. It is a good spot to people watch because it sits at the corner and you can see Parque Pablo Duarte from inside the venue.

Palobar Drink. Pablo Duarte (park area).

This is an indoor venue with a bar inside and outside so that you can get your drinks before you enter the club. It is on the same street as Parque Pablo Duarte and you can walk to the park in less than 50 yards. This venue has a dance floor and seats that surround the wall.

V Venue -La Avenida.

This is an indoor venue that is about 10 minutes by car from the aforementioned venues. The inside was very classy with a bar large dance floor an several VIP areas that surrounded the walls. The venue reminded me of the Gaia Disco in Las Terrenas in term of the indoor layout.

All of the venues have a local feel and are not touristy. The above listed venues only scratch the surface of what is available in Jarabacoa. Thus far my impression is that this is a better destination for a date than for a single traveler.

Jarabacoa Sex Venues.

Jarabacoa is the typical Dominican town that has car washes and casa de citas as sex venues. The car washes double as actual car washes and venues were drinks are served music is playing and the chicas are available for what you can negotiate. I was unable to locate a freelance venue like Classicos and the other venues were mediocre at best. Below I have listed the venues I visited:

Super Cafeteria Juniors. Calle Libertad.

This venue is a casa de cita that has a bar dance floor and rooms in the back. They do not serve food so do not ask me why they included "cafeteria" in the name unless they consider the chicas to be food. There were a half dozen chicas there no more than 6's and absolutely nothing to brag about. The chicas were available for in house and take out.

San Miguel Car Wash- Calle Cinco de la Colonia.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout. It was an open air venue down stairs with a second floor with pool tables. I only saw 3 chicas available none better than a 6.

Chachi Car Wash- Calle Principal.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout but it could have been closed because there was no one there other than 2 chicas behind the bar. It was an open air venue down stairs with a second floor with pool tables.

Franks Car Wash- Catera Ato Viejo.

This venue was a car wash that had chicas serving drinks that were available for takeout and it was the best of all the venues as the woman were more alive and interesting. There were a half dozen chicas behind the bar and a couple were good 7's. They were blancas just like Hugrad likes them. I thought about staying because 1 of the blancas was staring at me but it was getting late and I was tired from a long day.

Based on what I saw I would not recommend Jarabacoa to the monger to travel solo.

My anecdotal experience.

My intent was to take a date to Jarabacoa because it is a better date location than PFP location but my plans failed and I am glad they did because I was afforded one of my better experiences in the Dominican Republic. My driver made a personal introduction of a friend of his youth he grew up with. She was presented not as a PFP opportunity but as a meet and greet with potential going forward. I spent a little less than 2 hours speaking with her over a virgin pina colada and water and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a woman in the Dominican Republic. I say that because most of my experiences with Dominicanas has been PFP. I have met other civilian women but she was the best to date.

This woman was a part-time model and supervised other models in a modeling agency along with being a full time medical student. I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to hear a woman talk about her desire to travel internationally so she can help children as a pediatrician. What a refreshing experience that didn't include "dame tu leche!

Perhaps other mongers will give me the side eye but I would willing spend money to see this woman again sin sexo and not think twice. I can knock down 3 PFP Sosua chicas a day but the experience I had with this woman could not be purchased. To show you how intense it was I met several women after her some of which who were 8's and I was not interested because I was still high from the experience. Honestly recently I have been spending too much damn time with PFP chicas and I need something different. Forgive me for saying so but IMHO every monger needs to date a true civilian chica just once and add some flavor to the mix.

Jarabacoa closing thoughts.

I did not get to do everything on the ground I had planned because my driver's car broke down and was out of service for the better part of a whole day. In addition it rained off and on my entire stay and many of the things I wanted to experience were outdoor activities. I am confident I will try to return to Jarabacoa in the future to finish what I started.

You definitely need wheels in Jarabacoa because everything is so spread out. If you choose not to rent a car you can work a deal with a local taxista that is mutually beneficial for both. While my driver's car was down I rented a taxi for a 200 pesos and hour to run some errands.

Jarabacoa is a diverse community. There are natural activities to do during the day such as zip-lining, horseback riding, hiking and rafting. The night life with clubs and bars is abundant. In addition there is PFP available albeit mediocre at best.

Jarbacoa has a central park like Nagua where everybody gathers on Saturday & Sunday nights. The area is festive with music, food carts along with motos and Jeeptahs everywhere in typical Dominican fashion. There were couples and singles walking to and from the different clubs. Some of the chicas appeared to be available for PFP and others not so much.

With the exception of the rain I experienced the climate was very pleasant. It was maybe about 80 degrees during the day and about 68 degrees at night. The climate was a lot more comfortable than the beach towns I am accustomed to visiting.

When I was in La Romana I noticed more dark complexioned (los negros) Dominicans (not Haitians but Dominicans) than any other part of the Island. Conversely, in Jarabacoa I noticed more light complexioned (los blancos) Dominicans, (some looked very European) than any other part of the Island I have visited.

Jarabacoa cannot compete with Santo Domingo or Santiago as far as women are concerned but there were a few bonitas out and about. However as far as small Dominican towns that I have visited Nagua has Jarabacoa beat hands down.

Conclusion.

In 2 days I had no sex but I had an incredible experience instead and I look forward to returning to Jarabacoa. I will return to Sosua to do what mongers do in Sosua but my Jarabacoa experience will remain in the back of my mind.

I highly recommend Jarabacoa to anyone who enjoys the culture of the Dominican Republic it will leave you with a unique experience that you are not likely to forget.

I have 2 more excursions planned before the end of the year one in October and the other in November. I have not decided between Villa Altagracia, La Vega, Banao or Mao I will keep you posted going forward.Excellent report that I read with interest.

I think the Spanish word "cafeteria" is best translated into English as "cafe" or "coffee shop", so if they had some coffee available, I suppose the brothel might have qualified. In Amsterdam the places that sell marijuana are called coffee shops.

Also be aware that "cafetera" means coffee-pot or coffee maker. Sometimes these words get mixed up.

Hi Camaro,

As always great info of what the real DR looks like. At least on paper. LOL.

You ought to seriously consider making YouTube videos about "Living in the DR" Especially since you sound like you want to live there and look at the whole picture vs the narrow mongering perspective.

I am one who is looking forward to living their and honestly I haven't found any expat vloggers out there in YouTube. It's always some tourists or an actual expat who is just in it to promote his kite-surfing business.

It would be nice to have DR vloggers like the American expat in Thailand: JC from retirecheapjc vlog channel.

In my experience, having dated a quite a few genuine non P4 P Dominican students (including med students), the experience is always enhanced by giving up my leche.

Hi Camaro,You ought to seriously consider making YouTube videos about "Living in the DR" Especially since you sound like you want to live there and look at the whole picture vs the narrow mongering perspective.
It sounds like too much work. I think I'll keep it simple and stick to my reports.

[Camaro1257]

Wouldn't you have preferred to have ended up having sex with this lady?

In my experience, having dated a quite a few genuine non P4 P Dominican students (including med students), the experience is always enhanced by giving up my leche.I understand we are mongers with sexual conquest as the objective but I think she is the quintessential "good girl" the woman you have a genuine relationship with. I do not know how much I would enjoy sex with a woman knowing she wanted one thing and I wanted another. I will try to see her again and see what happens.

I do not know how much I would enjoy sex with a woman knowing she wanted one thing and I wanted another. I will try to see her again and see what happens.Another of my experiences in the DR is that women who want to be "good girls" will never have sex on the first date (although they might engage in some kissing). The second date is the one that sets the tone for all future encounters. If they put you off on date #2, you can be certain that there will be no sex without a stated commitment. That does not mean marriage, but you will need to convince her you are her real boyfriend and that she is your one and only girl.

So if you don't get laid on date #2, take my advice and move on-unless you are looking for a mate.

Very valuable report.

Minor point. Jarabacoa is known for a cool climate and I wondered about the quote of 500 ft altitude.

Jarabacoa is actually 529 METERS, or over 1700 feet above sea level.

Camaro Synopsis Bonao October 2014.

Gentleman I have just completed the Bonao segment of my most recent excursion throughout the Dominican Republic. This trip will include separate synopsis reports on Sosua, Bonao, Santiago and Puerto Plata.

The aforementioned reports will include anecdotes and my observations of the conditions and activities on the ground of each of the locations. This trip includes 2 days in Sosua, 2 days in Bonao, 1 day in Santiago and closes with 3 days in Sosua. There are also are some day trips to Puerto Plata from Sosua.

Below I have listed my notes for your review.

Camaro's Reporting.

Those who follow my reports will notice a pattern to detail which not only comes from my profession but also comes from the fact that I am anal retentive, pensive and a cerebral personality. I realize some read my reports and say "it doesn't take all that!" or "HE is over analyzing" and I understand the assessment, however I experience mongering the same way I experience the rest of life in my head. In fact to me sex is only the dessert that I would not enjoy apart from the interaction that takes place before and after. Foreplay for me includes eye contact, smiles, body language and the infamous interview.

I will continue my reporting style not just to benefit those who enjoy my reporting but my writing style is cathartic and permits me to experience my trips as many times as I re-read them, therefore I kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Bonao.

Bonao is the capital of the Monsenor Nouel Province and is located in-between Santiago and Santo Domingo. There are several international companies that reside in Bonao that make for the basis of the city's economy.

Bonao is famous for its carnival along with La Vega and other mid-sized Dominican cities. The event occurs annually during the month of February. The festival includes colorful costumes parades and religious themes. The population reported to be approximately 150,000 people.

Bonao is a city in the country.

I get back from the disco around 4 am and I get in bed about 5 am and what do I hear. What do I hear? A rooster crowing every 30 seconds. That DAMN chicken is lucky I left my pistol back in the States!

Transportation from Sosua to Bonoa.

On my other excursions I have walked to the Metro station from the other hotels but this trip I decided not to be tacano and take a taxi. HE wanted 250 DOP but I gave him 200 DOP.

The Metro ticket to Santiago was 200 DOP and I caught the cramped shuttle to Puerto Plata and the main bus to Santiago.

I arrive in Santiago and ask one taxista were the parada de las gua guas is and it is 50 feet away jut before you get to the Carribe Tours station. Another taxista tries to get pais and offers me a ride to Bonao for 2500 DOP. I looked at him and said "pero la gua gua es 150 pesos" HE just smiled and started laughing. I guess I had GRINGO written on my forehead.

The gua gua is comfortable with air conditioning and not to cramped like some of the other gua gua rides I have had. I am listening to salsa and merengue cruising down the highway thinking "si a mi me gusta!" I left Santiago at 12:30 pm and I arrived in Bonao at 2:00 pm. I arrive at la parada de gua guas in Bonao and there are no taxis so I had someone call a taxi.

Aquarius Hotel Bar & Restaurant.

There was a mix up with my reservation so I had to get a small room but it was comfortable and clean. I don't know what it is about Dominican toilets but a lot of them are running and wasting water. It happens quite frequently in different hotels I guess they don't have KOHLER in the Dominican Republic.

The air-conditioning works great and the WIFI is strong. The bed was only a twin I don't know how that's going to work.

Aquarius Jacuzzi Room.

Ms. Bonao gets off work arrives at the hotel and is upset because I am in the wrong room. She made the reservations in her name for a Jacuzzi Room which was excellent and 3 times the size of the regular room I was in. The room was very comfortable and I was glad to switch.

The Aquarius Hotel is on a busy street in Bonao therefore the street noise is annoying. In addition the hotel host a night club and the music goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Casa de Cambio.

Agenta de Cambio Patricio Hierro is on Calle Duarte about 2 blocks from the Aquarius Hotel. I am glad I brough my passport because I needed I got 43.65 DOP- 1 US.

Miqulinea Panaderia.

So I am walking back from the casa de cambio and I smell baked goods and all of a sudden I heard a voice saying "venga venga!" I decided to obey walked in and the smell of baked goods over took me. I got what looked like pinapple upside down cake with raisins which hit the spot.

El Buen Sazon.

El Buen Sazon is a restaurant that is right around the corner from Hotel Aquarius. It is an open air restaurant that serves comida tipica. Ms. Bonao had the Mangu and I had pescado why ensalada.

Wendy's Disco / Balcony Bar & Grill.

Wendy's Disco & Balcony Bar &Grill is located next to Parque Duarte which is the central park in the middle of town. Wendy's Disco is an indoor venue with a bar dance floor and balcony which overlooks the rest of the club.

Balcony Bar & Grill is outside and attached to the Wendy's building. It is an outdoor venue with a bar dance floor along with tables and chairs.

People go back and forth between both venues. Initially the Balcony was crowded and Wendy's was empty but as the night progressed and it got cooler outside everyone went inside Wendy's.

The music alternated between salsa, reggetton and bachatta. Hookah smoking was quite prevalent and the entire vibe was festive and vibrant with people not only dancing on the dance floor but in the aisles.

The most interesting thing of the night was there were times when I felt like I was in Medellin. I saw quite a few blancas that looked exactly like Paisas in fact the vibe of the club felt kinda Colombian to me.

This was not a Classicos venue and I saw no one who even remotely appeared to be working. There were couples and a few singles and it was an overall good time.

Other Bonao Clubs of Significance.

Below are listed some of the most famous clubs in Bonao any taxista will be able to take you to them. I was unable to sample them so I can make no recommendations.

Coconut Club.

Club Terreza.

Club Aquarius.

LOS Lugares por las chicas.

I came to Bonao as a part of my travel odyssey throughout the Dominican Republic. I called a taxista and had him take me on a tour and HE showed me the below listed venues:

In typical Dominican fashion Car Washes often serve as places to wash your car as well as bars and places where chicas are available for takeout.

Privada Car Wash. Calle Don Pablo Duarte.

There was a small bar with an open air setting and a few people sitting outside. It was a very bew and modern looking edifice.

Otra Mundo Car Wash- Autopista Duarte.

There was a bar and tables old looking edifice. Chicas were hanging outside giving me the eye as we drove by.

Premium Car Wash- Calle Doce de Julio.

There was a bar and a bunch of motos out front with a handful of people inside.

The below listed venues are called "Drinks" open air bars where people socialize and some of the women are working I did not get any prices. Some had pool tables and others just had a bar along with tables and chairs.

VIP Drink. Calle Fransico. Calle Panado.

La Matica Cafeteria *Drink. Autopista Nueva.

Freiduria Magdalena *Drink. Autopista Duarte.

Bani Super Fria *Drink- Calle Jaragua.

I was advised there were other venues outside the city but I had seen enough. I viewed the venues from a distance but did not make any major inquires as I hope I have no need for PFP while I am here. The aforementioned venues are very Dominican with Dominican music motos in front and plenty of Dominicanos mingling with Dominicanas.

Cabanas.

All of the below listed cabanas are within 5-10 minutes drive from the aforementioned sex venues.

Hermes Aparta Hotel. Calle Duarte Vieja.

Hotel Bonao Inn. Calle Duarte Vieja.

Suite Las Palmas- Autopista Nueva.

Parque Duarte / Parque Central.

Bonao is the typical mid-sized Dominican city with a central park where people gather for social activities. On the weekend the park is crowded with children but on weekend nights it becomes the hub of social adult activity.

Ms. Bonao.

Ms. Bonao was a personal introduction. We exchanged Facebook and numbers and communicated frequently before my arrival. She called me "mi negro bello" (Handsom Black Man. Who me?) The most profound thing she did before I arrived was ask me how I wanted her to wear her hair. WHAT what?. Wur dey doooo datt at? She also advised she wanted to cook for me ect so I went in excited. We started off with a bang but the story continues.

I had been texting her from my US phone but when I hit the ground I texted her from my DR phone. She didn't realize I was in the DR and when she asked where I was me being an ex-boy scout I was honest telling her I was in Sousa. Well guess what Brooklyn Beas admonition about not telling civilians about Sosua came to fruition. She flipped out blah blah blah and I had to go Hanzo on her and tell her I was only there to see friends and if she didn't want to see me I understood. Well guess what she said? "disculpe tu me llama si tu quieres cunado venga a bonao felize noche" Her tone changed and we were back on track.

Ms. Bonao part #2.

Upon my arrival I had to wait for her to get off work because she is employed at a gasoline factory where she works 6 days a week 8 hours a day for 1500 DOP. She arrives we hit it off switch rooms eat dinner and go to Club Wendy's.

At Wendy's I discover she is 19 years old after she starts drinking acting immature which was later confirmed by her neglecting to inform me she was on her period when I arrived. We get back to the room and what does she do?. Wait for it she crashes with her clothes on and is knocked out! To make matter worse she snooooooooores yeah that's how you spell it and that's how she sounded! She has worked all day and drank too DAMN much which equals exactly what happened.

Ms. Bonao part #3.

In the morning I read her the riot act and this fiesty bossy Latina was so humble and contrite she was freaking me out. She held her head down like a little kid and gave me absolutely NO back talk simply saying "entiendo. " We got on the subject of Sosua and she talked about her friends making bank trying to get her to go and she refuses. There was such a contrast between the night before and the morning. She started weeping abandoned by the father of her baby and working for 1500 DOP a week but refuses to go to Sosua? WTF? REALLY? I respect the fact that she has integrity but I wish she was mature enough to tell me upon my arrival that she was on her period. From the mongering standpoint my experience sexually was a waste of time however it was good to meet someone who at least was trying to do the right thing.

I am humbled.

The hard hearted I am sure could GOF but for those with basic sensibilities once you pull the covers off this thing of ours and witness firsthand the conditions that make what many of us enjoy possible you should be humbled.

As for me I live in a medium size single family dwelling by myself so to have a poor Dominican family share their rice chicken and salad with you when there is nothing else in their refrigerator can be quite sobering. Add to the fact you are eating in a 3 room concrete house with a concrete floor tin roof and no glass covering the windows. To have a half dozen people live in a dwelling that is the size of my living room gives me room for pause. My experience in Ms. Bonao's family home adds to my respect to those who live in these conditions but choose not to sell their bodies.

Bonao Closing Thoughts.

I'd like to share the following thoughts on my brief time in Bonao:

Bonao is the typical Dominican small town with plenty of passolas and jeeptahs crowding the streets. Of course traffic is hectic like most urban centers in the Dominican Republic.

Bonao is not really a tourist town however there is plenty for the single traveler to do from regular clubs to different sex venues.

I did run into some people who spoke English but they were the exception to the rule. If you come to Bonao it would be a good idea to have some basic Spanish so you won't feel too lost.

Of course there were many beautiful women out at night I even saw some blancas that looked more like Medellin Paisas than Dominicanas.

My anecdotal experience from the mongering standpoint was a bust but it was good to meet someone who wasn't trying to hustle me. She was just too immature for what I had to offer.

As far as a retirement destination I am still leaning heavily to the north coast because the transportation and ex-pat network is greater than a place like Bonao.

If you have an adventurous spirit and basic Spanish and enjoy life and culture in the Dominican Republic I would encourage you to try Bonao and see for yourself.

Conclusion:

Despite my monger failing there was much to learn from this trip. I repeated my mantra "todas las mujeres no son igual" and I see that fact every trip. I am convinced that many mongers with bad attitudes about this thing of ours have those attitudes because their experiences are not diverse. Is sex important to us, claro que si but for me sex is just the dessert and there is so much more to experience in this thing of ours.

My next trip will be the second week in November where I will explore Mao and Esperanza I will keep you posted.

Camaro Synopsis Bonao October 2014.

Gentleman I have just completed the Bonao segment of my most recent excursion throughout the Dominican Republic. This trip will include separate synopsis reports on Sosua, Bonao, Santiago and Puerto Plata.

The aforementioned reports will include anecdotes and my observations of the conditions and activities on the ground of each of the locations. This trip includes 2 days in Sosua, 2 days in Bonao, 1 day in Santiago and closes with 3 days in Sosua. There are also are some day trips to Puerto Plata from Sosua.

Below I have listed my notes for your review.

Camaro's Reporting.

Those who follow my reports will notice a pattern to detail which not only comes from my profession but also comes from the fact that I am anal retentive, pensive and a cerebral personality. I realize some read my reports and say "it doesn't take all that!" or "HE is over analyzing" and I understand the assessment, however I experience mongering the same way I experience the rest of life in my head. In fact to me sex is only the dessert that I would not enjoy apart from the interaction that takes place before and after. Foreplay for me includes eye contact, smiles, body language and the infamous interview.

I will continue my reporting style not just to benefit those who enjoy my reporting but my writing style is cathartic and permits me to experience my trips as many times as I re-read them, therefore I kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Bonao.

Bonao is the capital of the Monsenor Nouel Province and is located in-between Santiago and Santo Domingo. There are several international companies that reside in Bonao that make for the basis of the city's economy.

Bonao is famous for its carnival along with La Vega and other mid-sized Dominican cities. The event occurs annually during the month of February. The festival includes colorful costumes parades and religious themes. The population reported to be approximately 150,000 people.

Bonao is a city in the country.

I get back from the disco around 4 am and I get in bed about 5 am and what do I hear. What do I hear? A rooster crowing every 30 seconds. That DAMN chicken is lucky I left my pistol back in the States!

Transportation from Sosua to Bonoa.

On my other excursions I have walked to the Metro station from the other hotels but this trip I decided not to be tacano and take a taxi. HE wanted 250 DOP but I gave him 200 DOP.

The Metro ticket to Santiago was 200 DOP and I caught the cramped shuttle to Puerto Plata and the main bus to Santiago.

I arrive in Santiago and ask one taxista were the parada de las gua guas is and it is 50 feet away jut before you get to the Carribe Tours station. Another taxista tries to get pais and offers me a ride to Bonao for 2500 DOP. I looked at him and said "pero la gua gua es 150 pesos" HE just smiled and started laughing. I guess I had GRINGO written on my forehead.

The gua gua is comfortable with air conditioning and not to cramped like some of the other gua gua rides I have had. I am listening to salsa and merengue cruising down the highway thinking "si a mi me gusta!" I left Santiago at 12:30 pm and I arrived in Bonao at 2:00 pm. I arrive at la parada de gua guas in Bonao and there are no taxis so I had someone call a taxi.

Aquarius Hotel Bar & Restaurant.

There was a mix up with my reservation so I had to get a small room but it was comfortable and clean. I don't know what it is about Dominican toilets but a lot of them are running and wasting water. It happens quite frequently in different hotels I guess they don't have KOHLER in the Dominican Republic.

The air-conditioning works great and the WIFI is strong. The bed was only a twin I don't know how that's going to work.

Aquarius Jacuzzi Room.

Ms. Bonao gets off work arrives at the hotel and is upset because I am in the wrong room. She made the reservations in her name for a Jacuzzi Room which was excellent and 3 times the size of the regular room I was in. The room was very comfortable and I was glad to switch.

The Aquarius Hotel is on a busy street in Bonao therefore the street noise is annoying. In addition the hotel host a night club and the music goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Casa de Cambio.

Agenta de Cambio Patricio Hierro is on Calle Duarte about 2 blocks from the Aquarius Hotel. I am glad I brough my passport because I needed I got 43.65 DOP- 1 US.

Miqulinea Panaderia.

So I am walking back from the casa de cambio and I smell baked goods and all of a sudden I heard a voice saying "venga venga!" I decided to obey walked in and the smell of baked goods over took me. I got what looked like pinapple upside down cake with raisins which hit the spot.

El Buen Sazon.

El Buen Sazon is a restaurant that is right around the corner from Hotel Aquarius. It is an open air restaurant that serves comida tipica. Ms. Bonao had the Mangu and I had pescado why ensalada.

Wendy's Disco / Balcony Bar & Grill.

Wendy's Disco & Balcony Bar &Grill is located next to Parque Duarte which is the central park in the middle of town. Wendy's Disco is an indoor venue with a bar dance floor and balcony which overlooks the rest of the club.

Balcony Bar & Grill is outside and attached to the Wendy's building. It is an outdoor venue with a bar dance floor along with tables and chairs.

People go back and forth between both venues. Initially the Balcony was crowded and Wendy's was empty but as the night progressed and it got cooler outside everyone went inside Wendy's.

The music alternated between salsa, reggetton and bachatta. Hookah smoking was quite prevalent and the entire vibe was festive and vibrant with people not only dancing on the dance floor but in the aisles.

The most interesting thing of the night was there were times when I felt like I was in Medellin. I saw quite a few blancas that looked exactly like Paisas in fact the vibe of the club felt kinda Colombian to me.

This was not a Classicos venue and I saw no one who even remotely appeared to be working. There were couples and a few singles and it was an overall good time.

Other Bonao Clubs of Significance.

Below are listed some of the most famous clubs in Bonao any taxista will be able to take you to them. I was unable to sample them so I can make no recommendations.

Coconut Club.

Club Terreza.

Club Aquarius.

LOS Lugares por las chicas.

I came to Bonao as a part of my travel odyssey throughout the Dominican Republic. I called a taxista and had him take me on a tour and HE showed me the below listed venues:

In typical Dominican fashion Car Washes often serve as places to wash your car as well as bars and places where chicas are available for takeout.

Privada Car Wash. Calle Don Pablo Duarte.

There was a small bar with an open air setting and a few people sitting outside. It was a very bew and modern looking edifice.

Otra Mundo Car Wash- Autopista Duarte.

There was a bar and tables old looking edifice. Chicas were hanging outside giving me the eye as we drove by.

Premium Car Wash- Calle Doce de Julio.

There was a bar and a bunch of motos out front with a handful of people inside.

The below listed venues are called "Drinks" open air bars where people socialize and some of the women are working I did not get any prices. Some had pool tables and others just had a bar along with tables and chairs.

VIP Drink. Calle Fransico. Calle Panado.

La Matica Cafeteria *Drink. Autopista Nueva.

Freiduria Magdalena *Drink. Autopista Duarte.

Bani Super Fria *Drink- Calle Jaragua.

I was advised there were other venues outside the city but I had seen enough. I viewed the venues from a distance but did not make any major inquires as I hope I have no need for PFP while I am here. The aforementioned venues are very Dominican with Dominican music motos in front and plenty of Dominicanos mingling with Dominicanas.

Cabanas.

All of the below listed cabanas are within 5-10 minutes drive from the aforementioned sex venues.

Hermes Aparta Hotel. Calle Duarte Vieja.

Hotel Bonao Inn. Calle Duarte Vieja.

Suite Las Palmas- Autopista Nueva.

Parque Duarte / Parque Central.

Bonao is the typical mid-sized Dominican city with a central park where people gather for social activities. On the weekend the park is crowded with children but on weekend nights it becomes the hub of social adult activity.

Ms. Bonao.

Ms. Bonao was a personal introduction. We exchanged Facebook and numbers and communicated frequently before my arrival. She called me "mi negro bello" (Handsom Black Man. Who me?) The most profound thing she did before I arrived was ask me how I wanted her to wear her hair. WHAT what?. Wur dey doooo datt at? She also advised she wanted to cook for me ect so I went in excited. We started off with a bang but the story continues.

I had been texting her from my US phone but when I hit the ground I texted her from my DR phone. She didn't realize I was in the DR and when she asked where I was me being an ex-boy scout I was honest telling her I was in Sousa. Well guess what Brooklyn Beas admonition about not telling civilians about Sosua came to fruition. She flipped out blah blah blah and I had to go Hanzo on her and tell her I was only there to see friends and if she didn't want to see me I understood. Well guess what she said? "disculpe tu me llama si tu quieres cunado venga a bonao felize noche" Her tone changed and we were back on track.

Ms. Bonao part #2.

Upon my arrival I had to wait for her to get off work because she is employed at a gasoline factory where she works 6 days a week 8 hours a day for 1500 DOP. She arrives we hit it off switch rooms eat dinner and go to Club Wendy's.

At Wendy's I discover she is 19 years old after she starts drinking acting immature which was later confirmed by her neglecting to inform me she was on her period when I arrived. We get back to the room and what does she do?. Wait for it she crashes with her clothes on and is knocked out! To make matter worse she snooooooooores yeah that's how you spell it and that's how she sounded! She has worked all day and drank too DAMN much which equals exactly what happened.

Ms. Bonao part #3.

In the morning I read her the riot act and this fiesty bossy Latina was so humble and contrite she was freaking me out. She held her head down like a little kid and gave me absolutely NO back talk simply saying "entiendo. " We got on the subject of Sosua and she talked about her friends making bank trying to get her to go and she refuses. There was such a contrast between the night before and the morning. She started weeping abandoned by the father of her baby and working for 1500 DOP a week but refuses to go to Sosua? WTF? REALLY? I respect the fact that she has integrity but I wish she was mature enough to tell me upon my arrival that she was on her period. From the mongering standpoint my experience sexually was a waste of time however it was good to meet someone who at least was trying to do the right thing.

I am humbled.

The hard hearted I am sure could GOF but for those with basic sensibilities once you pull the covers off this thing of ours and witness firsthand the conditions that make what many of us enjoy possible you should be humbled.

As for me I live in a medium size single family dwelling by myself so to have a poor Dominican family share their rice chicken and salad with you when there is nothing else in their refrigerator can be quite sobering. Add to the fact you are eating in a 3 room concrete house with a concrete floor tin roof and no glass covering the windows. To have a half dozen people live in a dwelling that is the size of my living room gives me room for pause. My experience in Ms. Bonao's family home adds to my respect to those who live in these conditions but choose not to sell their bodies.

Bonao Closing Thoughts.

I'd like to share the following thoughts on my brief time in Bonao:

Bonao is the typical Dominican small town with plenty of passolas and jeeptahs crowding the streets. Of course traffic is hectic like most urban centers in the Dominican Republic.

My next trip will be the second week in November where I will explore Mao and Esperanza I will keep you posted.I love your reports man, maybe because our minds think very similar. Maybe some think you over analyze but I like what you bring to the table cause I'm just like you. Thanks again.

Camaro Synopsis Bonao October 2014.

As for me I live in a medium size single family dwelling by myself so to have a poor Dominican family share their rice chicken and salad with you when there is nothing else in their refrigerator can be quite sobering. Add to the fact you are eating in a 3 room concrete house with a concrete floor tin roof and no glass covering the windows. To have a half dozen people live in a dwelling that is the size of my living room gives me room for pause. My experience in Ms. Bonao's family home adds to my respect to those who live in these conditions but choose not to sell their bodies. Kind thoughts and reflections.

Personally, whether they decide to sell the only asset they have or not, does not in any way detract from the respect I have for these women, many with children and father / s that have no use except as sperm donors. I know some that at night, on asking if they have had dinner, have stated, they were hungry. I know one in Mao, who (as a second woman) has two lovely children with a reasonably well off man and when she held back on sex for personal reasons, the man denied giving her money for food. Ordinary tales of humanity, sic! All these, sitting far away in comfort with a stomach full of food, has sobered me. Only yesterday I was trying to help an acquaintance who is in Santiago, get a date with a woman I know there. She was willing to go, if nothing else but the food would be a welcome change but, she told me, she also was in the second day of her period, which got the date canceled but increased my respect for her, because of her integrity. I wish I had more money to share with them, even though I know, no matter what an individual does, would not change anything.

[Brother P]

Another good report bro! Even though it didn't go so well with this chica, its good to mix in a non pro every now and then. Keep on keeping on playa!

[BrasilSoccer0]

Camaro,

As always, insightful report. Great minds think alike.

Your narrative of your experience in the young girl's home was on point. I had a similar experience with a sweet 19 yrs CUBANA. I never imagined how she lived until one day she invited me to lunch in her home. Now I been to other Cuban homes and they are modest for the majority. But it was like you exactly described it: concrete floor with big square windows without any cover and a tin roof. We had beans, rice and chicken soup with mainly bones and few meat. I posted her photo on Cuba gallery (red top) you'll never guess she lives a humble life. I am a better man now because of that experience.

Life is more than just sticking your the! At € in a whole. But you know most of these guys are unrefined / unevolved RNA and most of what you are telling will be lost on them.

The interview thing. LOL I do that. And that's how I know if she will be a good or not so good companion. I hate the analogy, but it's almost like what a car salesman does: qualifying.

Those are the kind of girls I like and seek when traveling.

Keep them coming.

[Camaro1257]

I am in Santiago now so my other reports will be forthcoming shortly.

[ShoeStrngBgt]

Good evening all,

I'm planning a trip from Feb 21st to Mar 1st. Flying into SDQ (cheapo airport) and my first night will most likely be in Boca Chica (DC Connection).

However; the next day (Sunday) I want to see the carnival in La Vega. My plan is the early guagua to Santo Domingo followed by the Caribe bus to La Vega. However; I do not know the La Vega hotel or chica scene (I may revert to DC Cupid for a La Vega connection). Anyone have experience with the carnival there, and the times for the celebrations and such?

After a night in La Vega I may spend a night in Santiago, a few nights in Sosua, and then backtrack to Santo Domingo for 27 de febrero.

Any advice on La Vega is much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Camaro in Mao Synopsis November 2014.

Gentleman I have just completed my most recent excursion throughout the Dominican Republic. This trip will include separate synopsis reports on Mao, La Romana & Puerto Plata, although I made 2 day trips to Santiago I have nothing new to report there.

The aforementioned reports will include anecdotes and my observations of the conditions and activities on the ground of each of the locations. This trip includes 5 days in Sosua, 2 days in Mao, 2 days in La Romana and closes with 3 days in Sosua.

Below I have listed my notes on Mao for your review.

Camaro es un pensianado.

I approached this trip with a different mentality because I am retired after 29 years of working in the same place and now I am ready for the next phase of life. The north coast continues to be my number one pick for a retirement destination; it is in an area close to an international airport, fine beaches, and an affordable cost of living. It is a community with enough Americans that I can speak English and share our culture, but it is Dominican enough for me to enjoy the Dominican experience also.

Although I prefer the north coast as a place to live in retirement the interior of the Island has much to offer in terms of experiencing life and culture in the Dominican Republic therefore an excursion to Mao is right up my alley.

Beyond Sosua.

Going to Sosua and saying you have been to the Dominican Republic is on a much smaller scale like going to Las Vegas and saying you have been to the United States. I have not travelled the entire Dominican Republic but from what I have seen there is no place on the Island like it not even Boca Chica can compare; I know this not because I read it somewhere but because I have experienced it. Mongers are different with different objectives but for those who want more than point and click should consider their alternatives.

It is my intention to continue to travel the Island and have new and different experiences.

Mao.

One of the goals of this trip was to visit Mao & Esperanza below I have listed a few facts about both locations.

Mao is the largest city in the northwestern part of the Dominican Republic and the capital city of Valverde Province. It gets its name from the River Mao which runs near the city. The city has a population of approximately 60,000 people and traveling north-west is about 40 minutes from Santiago. Although it is a very dry region in comparison to the rest of the country it remains an agricultural based economy with rice bananas and plantains.

Esperanza.

Esperanza is a small city in the Valverde Province that is about 10 miles north east of Mao. The city has a population of approximately 40,000 people.

Enroute to Mao.

A group of mongers rented a car and made the 2 hour trek from Sosua-Puerto Plata to Mao. The original intention of the Mao segment of this trip was to spend time in both Mao and Esperanza. Esperanza is a smaller town right outside Mao and is considered to be dangerous with a wild-wild west reputation. It is notable for its myriad of PFP venues however we did not make it Esperanza and spend all of our time in Mao.

Hotel La Linea.

Originally I was going to stay in Mao's premier hotel, Hotel Novus but it was about $75.00 a night and Hotel La Linea was 1000 DOP per night. In addition it was convenient since other mongers were staying in the same hotel so I thought oh well might as well.

Hotel La Linea reminded me of Hotel Aquarius in Bonao because it was located on a major street with the typical street noise and it had a bar attached to the hotel. Linea Caf was a small bar attached to the hotel where locals would gather to drink; it had a very chill atmosphere.

The rooms were very basic with no luxuries. I did not check the WIFI because my computer was down but WIFI was available with strong air-conditioning. My room was basic with a bed desk and TV. My first night I only had 1 towel which was inconvenient I will address that issue later.

Although Hotel La Linea was very basic it was comfortable and the staff was very cordial and friendly.

Prospero Cambio.

I used Prospero Cambio to get change which was located downtown right across the street from the Carribe Tours bus station. I got 44 DOP-1 US exchange rate the best in the Dominican Republic at the time, even better than Western Union. It is reported that Carribe Tours also offers a 44 DOP-1 US exchange rate.

Aqua Azul.

Aqua Azul is one of the social centers of Mao. Different groups of people gather there on a regular basis from children to teenagers to adults all enjoy the activities offered there. It is a pool, amphitheater with dance floor stage and restaurant.

We spent time at the pool hanging out and eating. This is where I originally met Ms. Mao and we would later meet again.

Rio Mao or Rio La Presa.

Rio Mao is a major river about 40 minutes outside Mao it is a social gathering place for swimming and there is a ranch where you can stay overnight or grill out and hang.

Ms. Mao part 1.

I met Ms. Mao my first afternoon at Agua Azul. In my opinion she had one of the tightest bodies in the pool her hips to waist ratio was almost perfect she looked absolutely incredible in a bathing suit.

We chit chatted at the pool and she was very polite and cordial but I couldn't tell if she liked me. She left with some friends without me getting her number. Later that night we had a get together at the parada de gua gua that was close to Parque Central. Tgunz knew someone who was acquainted with her so he called her and she came over. We talked and once again she was polite but I couldn't tell if she was interested.

I pulled her away from the crowd had a heart to heart talk and we agreed to spend some time together. We arrived at the hotel and there was only 1 towel so she showered first then I followed. Let me say this chica is nobodies pro! She was nervous and everything went slow. It took me almost 30 minutes to get her engine started but once she got going I enjoyed myself. She began giving it back to me strong and we had good rhythm together.

Ms. Mao part 2.

I saw her again my last night and although the sex was okay although it was much better the first night. I plan to return to Mao sometime in the future but frankly I do not know if I would repeat. She is a young 19 year old who is very inexperienced and not accustomed to gringos. In addition we didn't communicate well because I could hardly understand anything she said.

Do I cultivate a sweet young thing who knows little about life and sex or do I find a more mature woman who I can talk with go to dinner with and have a more balanced relationship with?

She did whatsapp me after she knew I left Mao sending me saludos so I have no idea what that means therefore when I return to Mao I will decide what to do with her at that time.

Age disparity in Dominican Relationships.

My experience with Ms. Mao has caused me to reflect once again on age disparity relationships. I have yet to become accustomed to the acceptance of age disparity relationships which is often considered to be unacceptable in the US. When I was in Bonao I met the family of my date there and I was older than her parents however I was accepted and treated with respect.

Ms. Mao likewise was young enough to be my granddaughter but open to a relationship with me. I have to be careful not to create artificial boundaries and to bring my unwarranted cultural values to the Dominican Republic.

IMHO it's best to start at 21 and move forward from there. I know I will receive the side eye from many mongers but I am leaning heavily towards women in their late 20's and early 30's as I seem to have more in common and a greater connection with them. For you guys who don't do mature women I will say don't sleep on Dominican women in their 30's I have seen some that are absolutely beautiful and carry themselves with excellence and grace.

Mao Sex Venues.

Mao is the typical Dominican town with sex venues like car washes, and bars that double as sex venues along with casas de citas. These venues in Mao are primarily for locals and I would not recommend tourist visit these venues solo unless they are confident in their Spanish and understanding of Dominican culture.

Below I have listed the following venues:

El Bosque Calle 27.

El Bosque is a "Drink" which is a pseudo bar with dance floor music, tables ect. But the waitresses and some of the women in attendance are available for take out. In this case you pay the house 400 DOP for salida and negotiate with the chica individually for services.

This venue was unique because once you walked inside there was a space inside the venue for motos a bar dance floor and tables. None of the talent was more than a 6.

El Malecon Bar Calle Sierra.

El Malecaon Bar was a different type of casa de cita, there was a bar with tables and the chicas wondering around and talking with their clients. In the rear of the bar there was a separate building with rooms. The chicas went for 800 DOP and the room went for 150 DOP. I did not sample so I cannot speak to the quality of the rooms or if they offered take out.

I did see some 7's and I was surprised because the joint was definitely a hole in the wall.

El Drunko Car Wash Calle Benito Mansion.

El Drunko Car Wash had live entertainment the night I visited and since they wanted a cover and I wasn't tasting I decided not to go in therefore I can offer no details on this venue.

Mao's sex venues do not have the best of Dominican talent, however if you look hard enough it is possible to find something that is palatable. It is reported that the best sex venues are in Esperanza which is the next town east of Mao; I was only in the area for 2 days so I did not get a chance to sample any of what Esperanza had to offer.

Mao closing thoughts.

I had a great time in Mao and I especially enjoyed the vista view of the country side to include the mountains and Rio Mao. Below I listed my other thoughts about Mao:

My visit to Mao came after my last visit to Bonao, the cities have some similarities in appearance but their personalities are different. Basically Bonao is a little larger in terms of population and geography but more importantly Bonao is more of a lively community with more night life and sex venues than Mao.

Mao like Bonao represents what I would call the interior of the Dominican Republic. This is a place for those who desire true Dominican culture. Mao is not a tourist town like Sosua. Mao is not a big city like Santo Domingo or Santiago. Mao is a small Dominican town where Spanish is absolutely necessary and the presence of gringos is the exception to the rule.

The people of Mao in general are not accustomed to seeing gringos so you will get stares of curiosity however at no time did I sense hostility fear or a sense that I was not welcome.

Mao is not the monger's paradise if all he desires to do is bounce around to different sex venues; however there are beautiful women in Mao just like any other Dominican town they just have to be searched out.

Conclusion.

Mao is a laid back place where you can take your time and nobody is in a rush. I found the people of Mao to be curious but polite and respectful. IMHO Mao is not a place to go looking for PFP however there are many beautiful women in Mao who are looking for someone willing to help them go through school or with their children. Of course there are many women in Mao who are open to traditional relationships.

Sometime in the future I plan to return to Mao however I will be in date mode more so than monger mode because I believe that Mao is more enjoyable with a special someone than on the hunt as a monger would be in Sosua.

Finally, I recommend Mao for anybody who enjoys life and culture in the Dominican Republic.

Many thanks!I don't have any advice but I will be in La Vega during Carnival this year also.

[Charles Pooter]

Any advice on La Vega is much appreciated.

Carnival in La Vega is notorious for pickpockets. If you want to see anything you either have to arrive hours early and stake a claim to a spot or pay a premium for a position in the stands with the cream of society, or push your way though the crowds. In the latter scenario almost impossible to defend yourself against skilled pickpockets unless you have zipped pockets with padlocks.

[Parkinsons]

Camaro: Great post, as usual.


It is reported that the best sex venues are in Esperanza which is the next town east of Mao; I was only in the area for 2 days so I did not get a chance to sample any of what Esperanza had to offer.
I'm hoping you find out in your next adventure! I'm curious to know.

Remember you mentioned that Bonao was supposed to be "the Sosua" for native Dominicans? I'm theorizing, whoever told you that, as well as the person making the claim about Esperanza, perhaps just have over-inflated hometown pride. Very much like folks from Detroit saying it's the best city, Baltimoreans calling their city Charm City and believing it. The folks who told you thus may have some fond memories when they lived there.

You never did confirm the claim about Bonao when you actually visited, so I'm guessing you indirectly refuted it?

That is why I use the term "it has been reported. " As far as Bonao is concerned there is literally no place like Sosua in the Dominican Republic in fact Boca Chica cannot run a close second in my opinion.

Bonao is a great place to party with a few sex venues and some beautiful woman, in fact I plan to return sometime in 2015 possibly for Carnival. My understanding the major Carnival is in La Vega and the secondary Carnival is in Bonao. As always I will keep the board posted.

Hi,

I would like to know if someone has been once in this club located in Palmar de Ocoa?

Website: http://www.ocoaclub.com.

If yes could you share your experience please?

[BrasilSoccer0]

Gents,

I need a place to stay in Juan Dolio and Caribe de Paraiso is booked and doesn't even answer the phone (fax picks up).

DR1 moderator "Frank" recommends Holland guesthouse for as low as $150/ week rental! What do you guys think? I'm assuming this is a girl friendly place and for the price heck I'll just rent short time to test the waters first.

[Grub1]

" As far as Bonao is concerned there is literally no place like Sosua in the Dominican Republic in fact Boca Chica cannot run a close second in my opinion.

I agree don't even try to find a better place or you will fail. Sosua is King for Pussy.

I'm going to Samana next week and I'm wondering if anyone has any info on p4 p there? I was there last year and there was a car wash in the center of town but I understand that is closed now. Thanks.

[Lmarcone]

I'm going to Samana next week and I'm wondering if anyone has any info on p4 p there? I was there last year and there was a car wash in the center of town but I understand that is closed now. Thanks.I too will be around. Samana area. Arriving this Saturday.

Plan to have a favorita meet me- but maybe we can still meet up and combine forces.

Me- 35 yo Spanish-speaker.

PM me.

[Surfer500]

I'm going to Samana next week and I'm wondering if anyone has any info on p4 p there? I was there last year and there was a car wash in the center of town but I understand that is closed now. Thanks.There's a small park between the upscale eating places along the water.

I saw Chicas there sitting on the benches who were available, however I had brought a Chica with me.

Good Luck.

[BrasilSoccer0]

I made it to DR 8 days ago. First stayed in Juan Dolio now in Guayacanes.

In a nutshell Shittiest, rudest, scum of the earth people I've ever met in al of my travels! !

These dumb motherfuckers are shortsighted and can't comprehend long term personal investment. . they just want the now and here.

All they want is to max out immediately.

Stayed in Don Pedro hotel and the owner got offended and accused me of putting sand on the sheets instead of apologizing and fixing the problem!

Once I'm done with my personal business in the capital I am moving out of this shitty place.

More to come. .

[OldKool]

Boca Chica and Juan Dolo have poor reputations. What you reported is the norm. I only consider going there as a fall back plan. You can have a great time there do not get me wrong. All the elements are there but as you reported there is so much BS to deal with that it can damper your fun. If Sosua did not exist Boca Chica would be the alternative. We would be happy to put up with the BS since it is better then anything else we have.

Hi, I am still here and want to contribute something even if it is done here in the past. Who knows some newbie is lurking and reading this may bennefit!

Let me preface the report with the following statement.

When I travell to any firsttime destination for me I arrive with an open mind and heart with no fear or prejeduce and since I came here about 3 wks ago its been hard to mainaine my positive attitude.

I arrived on an afternoon flight to las americas int airport. I went and got me a claro sim and loaded 1000 pesos minutes and 1 GB data plan from the store downstairs where a curvey fat light skinned girl helped me. The next day I got phone or sim is not registered. I go back and was told the sim card is bad. Okay but what about my credit that I spent 1700 pesos? Tough luck. Was told the data plan all of it was gone and the 1000 pesos minutes were used also consumed as data cause the phone was not configured correctly. WTF. All is gone in less than 24 hrs. Really? I raised hell. Went to the main offices in san pedro de macoris and SD. And the never call back as they promise. I got stressed out trying to explain to primative non evolved yet creatures that I never used 1700 of minutes and data in less than 24 hrs. They are either theives all of them or they don't give a damn about customer service. Either way I hate primatives like that. For the purpose of this report I am going to refer to dominicans as (Primatives) or (Primates).

Basically I started this journey badly.

Got to JD with a taxi ride for 2000 pesos. I had two large suite cases (those of you who been reading my inquiries know I am on a perpetural travelling adventure trying to find my utopia so basically I got nothing back home except my car). I was told in the airport no buses run by. But I later discovered you can roll your luggage down about 200 meters or so to a small group of moto conchos taking shade under some trees. They can take you to the main road for 50 pesos and from their you can take ALL kinds of buses going to everywhere south like JD, BC, SD. Etc for cheap. Look for the blue and white buses that drive really fast on the second lane. They are more comfortable and have room for your luggage. I think the name is Sicheom or something like that.

I got to JD and got my room in DON PEDRO which is owned and operated by a primative femal called JUANA. Charged me 1300 per night with AC included which I never cared for. SHower didn't drain well and everytime I get in bed I feel sand on the sheets. One time they took my phone charger by mistake and they never told me or even returned it when they realized it wasnt of the previous guest. It took for me to call and go downstairs to reclaim it. Basically primatives have no ethics. I realized right there and then I'll have to be on guard when I deal with primatives. Cause this was the husband of the owner who had my charger. Mmm.

I complained a couple of time about. (guess what this enternet cabin has to close. LOL so I have to leave it like this for now).

[Parkinsons]

Hi, I am still here and want to contribute something even if it is done here in the past. Who knows some newbie is lurking and reading this may bennefit!
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but calling folks "primitives" and "un-evolved" is a little harsh. I'll give my input here, not trying to blame the victim, but if you knew your were going to spend 3 weeks on a business trip (not a 3 day vacation) in a foreign country for the first time, you bear some responsibility to research before hand.

Transportation out of Las Americas has been discussed at length here. For taxi 2000 pesos is about right. Of course if you have two large suitcases I'm not sure how you can ride on the back of a motoconcho. I've done the public transportation option to Juan Dolio. It's not easy but doable.

I've used the Claro store on the second floor 3 times within the past 2 years, never had a problem. I always present my passport, and then I get a receipt itemizing what I purchased. SIM card, minutes, data GB, etc. Everything is on record. I also do a test call and a test text before heading out. Looks like in your case the clerk kept the cash to herself. I've heard stories about that happening. They are right, however, that some phones do need to be configured correctly for data. It's called the APN setting. I searched on the internet before going to the DR, because I know my phone requires it and my model is not mainstream.

As for the hotel, I can't comment on your particular one because I never stayed there. After my second trip to the DR, I no longer make hotel reservations. If one place doesn't work out I can always find another. Paying for a 3 week stay in advance seems kind of risky. Hope you didn't do that.

Ok other than that, how are the women? Any horror stories there?

[OldKool]

So you got ripped off and now every Dominican is a primitive. You are experiencing being a newbie. The taxi ride was a rip and the phone bad luck maybe. Study a bit on the forum and should know how to function. There are plenty of people ready to take advantage of a green gringo.

[BrasilSoccer0]

I complained about the sand on the bed sheets and this primative owener got emotionally upset and accused me of puting the sand in the sheets! Wtf. I came all the way from the states so I put sand on my own bed sheets and then complain!! I wasn't even asking her for a refund or anything like that I was trying to give her an opportunity to fix the problem. But I realized these primatives don't accept blame and don't take any ownership or leadership. Instead it's the tourist's fault!

THat's why I call them primatives. Got it! If a business owner behaves like that with a toursit guest in her house. I can only imagine what else is coming!!

I called the tourist police (white shirts) and they got me a full refund no problem there. Except if you are here to enjoy your time and instead find yourself having to fight for what is yours. It just puts a damper on the experience.

Moved to a place nearby called (Luci pension rooms) which is owned by a german and his wife. I was greeted by a super friendly and helpfull Chzek couple Michael and Senia. Great place to stay and I paid only 800 pesos for a small but nicer room with bath and wall fan and free wifi!

I was enjoying a sweet 18 yrs old girl I met online who was eager to please and was a sweet heart. I think she was from La Romana. She was right there with me fighting for my refund and explaining to the tourist police. What a girl! Anything I wanted she provided. Baught her a bathing suite and we had a blast on the beach. She spent about 3¬4 nights with me and was happy when I handed her a good amount of money. This girl was looking for something serious and I just couldn't take advantage of her like that. She was the sweetest person I met in this damn place. The problem was she kept on calling and bugging even though I explained to her it is better we don't see eachother since she wants to move too fast. NOT DOING THE FAMILY THING!!

Bty, JD beach is cleaner and has some wave action compared to BC and Guayacanes which is where I am living now. I got to eventually find a place I can call (Homebase) for now. It's a fishing village right before you get to JD coming from BC. I'm renting an apartasudio for 6000 pesos a month which covers electricicy and water. Got me a new mattress and small fridge. I get nice breeze and the place is safe and relatively quite. There is around 3 or so long term renters from Europe here.

Everyday I go hunting out in this vilage and it is not easy I tell you. And I blame it all on the Efing evangelical church from the good us of a. These missioners are every freaking where here! There are these little churches everywhere like a colmado. It is quite a paradox having one of them primative so called christian farmacy owners explaining how fantastic this generic viagra brand is. LOL.

I found a couple of girls but the experience is nothing to rave about. They were happy with 500 each! Can't blame them. There is no opportunities here.

I had a girl acompany me for a night and had a good time with her. Of course now, this is a small village. EVERYONE knows everyone and word spreads around. SO I have to tread lightly. THis girl is 18¬19 and wanted to keep me all for herslef. I told her if she introduced me one of her cousines I will have a nice present for her. Well the cousine wasnt that hot but she had greater sexual energy and I fed of that all night long. Like 5 times and never complained. I think she was hungry. Or something. Gave her 1500 and she reported back to my girl she liked the experience.

I did put the word out that I am looking for booty but with no children. LOL that's mission impossible here since most girls by 22 have kids. I had one present me to a sweet young thing with tight body and no kids. But she is hesitant and wants more time and all that. I put her on the back semmering burner.

For the hard core mongers and the sport fuckers, there is a place for you in Guayacanes called (Galicia) or something like that, You can't miss it, when you drive from BC towards JD and you enter Guayacanes, it is the first house on the right side. If you come at night it is always loud with music. They got a cabarat and have shows. It should be reasonable and they have rooms there. If you tell the bus driver El Cabare de Galicia, they should know. OOh. Its right next to (Ayuntamientos) city hall of Guayacanes. Just watch your wallet. Seems like a shaddy place.

I don't know what else I can share with you other than compared to other countries I been to including places where it is more misarable like Cuba and transnistria, this place is a dump and these folks are primatives. I can say that cause I been to other places where they have less but still have more dignity and education. Case in point I took a stroll in SD and found a Cuban lady who owns a restaurante and we started chatting and sociallizing and she agreed with me on everything I criticised these primatives for. And I was able to have an intellectuall conversation with wide topics ranging from economy to certain african tripes. Etc. Something foreign to primates who's only concern is sex, food and money and shouting as loud as they can for no reason other than primative behaviour.

(99% of dominicans are not to be trusted). A quoute from an online dominican lady friend form Santiago! NOT ME! But I agree 100% I can deal with crooks and protect myself. I know how to stand up for myself. The point is Am I willing to lead a lifestyle where I have to be on guard for 24 hrs a day? Do I really have to ask the bus guy for ALL of my change back including that 5 pesos he thought he can keep? Not my kind of lifestyle.

My plan, well for now I am heading to my paradise island for a good time. I will keep renting the place since it's only 6000 pesos but as soon as I return I will take small trips to other parts of the country like, Terena, the mountain region. I really want DR to remain home base. It is cheaper to rent and flying is also more economical as it connects well with other destinations.

Rent here is dirt cheap. I can find a nice house for 3000 pesos a month and this is what I need since I don't have a home base with low overheads.

Ok, that's all for now.

[Phuquer]

If a business owner behaves like that with a toursit guest in her house.

I don't really understand. You don't seem to have had a good time, you feel you have to watch your back and protect yourself from the "primates", and yet you want to make this your home base? If I had as bad experiences as yourself I would not want to go back to this kind of place.

[BrasilSoccer0]

Home base like I mentioned is not actually where I'll spent most of my time. It's the opposite of that: It's from where I'll travel extensively. So I won't be staying there for long.

Here is why I want to make DR my home base:

1- Cheap rent. I can pre pay for 2-3 months at a time and just travel With more money to spend.

2- Direct flights to my favorite monger destination! ! I can be there in 2 hrs.

3- Convenient for other destinations.

Also I'm not watching my back. I don't feel threatened here. But I need to watch out for scammers constantly.

Also as I mentioned my DR experience so far has been limited to a specific region of the country. I will do more excursions and venture out more after my return from Cuba.

I'll have a rounder impression of the DR than now.

I hope I'm not coming across as strictly bitchy. I just needed an outlet to vent out.

My thing with primates and primitives has more to do with being constantly sorrounded by folks who lack long term thinking and can't comprehend investment today for later profits. All they want is now and here.

[BrasilSoccer0]

OldKool,

I'm not a green gringo and I speak proper syntax Spanish fluently!

It's not that I got scammed once it's that they constantly trying to scam and are dishonest people. All they want is money now and here.

They lack long term thinking.

And like I said it wasn't me who said all dominicans are bad. It was a Dominica girl I met online from Santiago! I just agree with that based on my experience so far 99% of Dominicans are not to be trusted!


So you got ripped off andomievery Dominican is a primitive. You are experiencing being a newbie. The taxi ride was a rip and the phone bad luck maybe. Study a bit on the forum and should know how to function. There are plenty of people ready to take advantage of a green gringo.

[Phuquer]

...I need to watch out for scammers constantly.I know that DR meets some of your needs, but you really have to think about it before you get scammed some more. When I think about home base, I think of someplace I can go when things go wrong. A place where I know I am safe and have time to think. If you have a place in DR that you will be leaving alone for weeks or months at a time, you open yourself to being cleaned out. Whatever you leave behind might be gone. I'm not saying your plans are wrong. You have some valid reasons. But think carefully and research other places before you act. You might be better off someplace safer.

[Tempoecorto]

so far 99% of Dominicans are not to be trusted!I cannot comment on your language skills but if despite that, you have come to castigate 99% of the Dominicans, perhaps it might be worthwhile doing some soul searching as to what it is about you that draws those "primitives" towards you?

[Parkinsons]

Dude! You had great GFE from an 18 year-old, 500-peso toto's, your choice of women in a laid-back town. That's what I'd consider a great trip! Stop dwelling on the negative man! Ok you got sand on your sheets; you got a FULL refund. Hotel tried to steal your charger; got that back too. You got ripped off for your SIM card; ok 1500 pesos. Big f deal! I think you were so focused on doing what you set out to do (Cuba?) DR is only ancillary for you (only a home base, as you said), you can't even appreciate the good with the bad.

I'm not a 100% rah-rah DR guy; I agree with you that most Dominicans will try to get over. I travelled over the world as well (not for mongering as much as you may have), and I found Italians in Venice the worst rip-off, here and now people. 25 Euros for a slice of pizza written inconspicuously in Italian at a caf. When I complained, told me I should've known. 150 Euros for a 10-minute boat ride from my hotel to the train station. Because they know people only visit a day or two, marvel at the beautiful sight and seldom come back! And guess what, I sure didn't get any 500-peso women there, if any women AT ALL!!

I understand the world cannot be all Japanese, the most cultured, dignified people, customer-friendly people there are. Not even the British, and certainly not the Americans. But are the Japanese the most welcoming people? Not likely. And guess what, the "primitive" Dominicans have a functioning, Democratic country (everything is relative). Venezuela is non-functioning country. Cuba is a crumbling nation. We have to bail out Argentina every 5 years. Greece, the cradle of western civilization, is collapsing. (I'm sure the whole of their citizenry can quote Homer and Socrates too, NOT)!

Chill out, bro! Just enjoy 18 year-old girls who want you in their lives. 500-peso pussy. I know DR is not your focus but it'll make your time there more bearable.

[ShoeStrngBgt]

Greetings all,

Reporting on a trip in the DR from Feb 21st. Mar 1st.

This has to do with the carnival in La Vega. First off, it is well worth going to if you hadn't been to it (every Sunday in February). You will be taking some whacks from.

People carrying these balls on a string; we ended up buying a couple of them so at least we could assure MAD. Note. This didn't work, then vendors sold a watered.

Down version of these things, the ones that the people wearing the full carnival gear had much more of a punch.

All in all though, it was a fantastic experience. We took the Caribe Tours bus from Santo Domingo to La Vega, at the stop we asked a taxi driver for a hotel economico.

(200 pesos for the drive). We found a dirt cheap hotel, I think I paid about 700 pesos for the night. Not 5 stars by any means but it did the job. Given the experience.

And the cheap cost if you hadn't been to a La Vega Carnival you should definitely go.

Now for the bad side.

After the carnival and the free concert (also well worth attending) we ended up at a bar / restaurant next to the cathedral (that massive concrete structure). Afterwards.

It was about 11:30 or so, we were walking back from the cathedral about 4 blocks north to our hotel. As far as I could tell, it was a decent neighborhood with plenty.

Of motor traffic on the street. However; a group of 3 people on a motor bike pulled over in front of us, dismounted and started an assault.

We were able to fend them off, one of my friends took a bit of a shiner on his eye for the trouble; but overall it could have been a lot worse. These people obviously.

Were not professionals as they had no weapons and it was a very frequented road. Best I could tell was they were hoping to roll us quickly for whatever they could.

And get out of dodge. Me and my friends are all around our mid / early 30's so it was a pretty fair fight all things considered. If I were alone I would have been.

Completely F'ed. The end result is they ended up running back to the motor bike without our wallets and no major damage done, I'll take that as a result.

At any rate, be safe out there. Especially if you are outside a tourist area; even more so if you are walking solo.

The next day we took the Caribe Bus to Sosua and a carro publico to Cabarete, details to be reported on that board.

[JjBee62]

I tend to be laid back, but I appreciate audacity in others. One of my favorite friends used to get away with crazy stuff, like asking an old biker at the bar when was the last time he beat off, or asking a drunk Coast Guard guy if he has ever had sex with a man. The friend was straight, he just liked shocking the hell out of people.

Last night a chica on DC started messaging me. After the standard como esta?, we got on Whatsapp. First thing she does is ask for a gift when I get there. So, she's clearly a pro or semi pro. When I asked what kind of gift she wants she said a scooter. I didn't bother to ask for details about the scooter, I was too busy laughing.

I figured it would be fun to play with this, so I asked what gift she would give me. Probably a standard answer, I could do anything I want with her. I spent a few minutes letting her think I was tempted before telling her it wasn't going to happen.

No problem, she rolled back to a cellphone. Now, maybe she has a chance. I can either hand over one of my old phones, or pick up a cheap one. The negotiations continued, I ended up asking about cabanas in Bonao, apparently there's one at $300 DOP for 2 hours. There also appears to be a chica friendly hotel, but I didn't ask for details.

She had told me her cabana information was from an amiga. I tried a joke about a 3 way with the amiga, then had to explain the joke. She's not the brightest bulb on the tree. Finally, got the message through, but the friend won't do it. However, I was offered a tag team, revolving door chicas, all for 2500 each. I got it down to 2000 each, for 4 hours each. Two separate afternoons. Assuming both live up to the advertising, I would be okay with that. Of course, then he disclaimer gets tossed in, the backdoor is off limits, which isn't a problem for me, and any type of BJ isn't offered.

I already know the girl is looking to scam me, but no sense in letting her know I know. This morning, she added a new twist. She wants me to pretend to be married to the amiga, rent a house for both of them and then I can stop by and stay with them, whenever I'm in the area. Wow. What a deal. How could I possibly refuse?

I was considering the earlier deal. Change my plans, again, schedule a few days in Sosua, stop in Bonao long enough to get the first one and then catch the second on my way back to SD. But I have no plans to get near anyone who wants everything for next to nothing.

However, I do admire her audacity.

[OldKool]

2000 pesos is a bit more then a weeks pay for most Dominicans. If she is attractive play the game. They always go all out to get the most.

Denaro possible. If you really want her have her meet you somewhere. You have the power then. I have had excellent result for DC girls. I have several who have been on my rooster over 3 years. There is not much they can do to scam you.

There are too many more straight up chicas to deal with in Sosua.

[JjBee62]

Fuck that leave the bullshiters alone. She playing too many games to waste you time with her. There are too many more straight up chicas to deal with in Sosua.There is an update, the last move on her part was to tell me I should marry her.

I decided to let her know that I understand the game she's playing. She wants to find someone rich, horny and stupid who will take her out of the crappy life she has. Told her, I am not going to do anything like that, but if she wants a sugar daddy, I will tell her how to improve her chances.

She actually listened, asked questions and thanked me for the advice. Hopefully she will land one of the fools who goes around giving SWs 5000 for ST just because they asked for it.

I did get the number for her friend, who doesn't seem as crazy, and looks good enough for some consideration.

[JjBee62]

I got this from a chica in Mao, before I had to block her. If anyone is looking for a wife with 3 kids, I'll give you her number.

The hotel has a restaurant, disco and casino and apparently chica friendly. It might be of interest to someone fluent in Spanish who wants to go off the beaten path. The name is Hotel and Casino Novus Caoba. A Google search turned up some pictures. It looks decent.

It is located right across the street from the University in Mao, and apparently the disco is the hot spot in Mao.

So far today has gone off without a hitch. Flights were both on time, and both half empty. Had a whole row to myself. As a bonus, in the row in front of me, out of Atlanta, was a pregnant Dominicana showing an incredible amount of cleavage, and she either had a really bad crotch itch, that took 5 minutes to scratch, or she actually rubbed one out on the plane. I know she spent some time getting her shorts adjusted and zipped after we landed.

At SDQ I had arranged for a shuttle with Sun Transport to take me to San Pedro de Macoris, where I'm meeting 2 different cupid chicas. Cost was $80, to the hotel, and the driver carried my suitcase up 3 flights of stairs, and negotiated the room rate for me. Best of all, I was in the room less than 60 minutes after I walked off the plane.

The hotel is Apartahotel Guaraguao in San Pedro. You might have trouble finding it on the map, but it's located 1/2 block from The Orange Store in San Pedro. When I booked the room, on Booking.com, I was quoted $50 + $9 tax. But when I got here I was charged $40. The hotel is chica friendly, but only 1 chica at a time. There is no office at the hotel, but the cleaning staff seems to be on site and watching, which is how I discovered the 1 chica at a time rule. More on that later.

The room has a king size bed, full kitchen, a big bathroom and there is enough room left to throw in a pool table and a pinball machine without it being crowded. The a / see works good, the room is nice and clean and the furniture is fairly new and in good shape. For $40, I'm happy.

Now the downside. There is no safe in the room and the water pressure is not very good. There also doesn't seem to be any hot water. Also, since the hotel is on Calle 27 de Febrero, there is a lot of traffic and a lot of horns.

Right across the street is a cambio that gave 44.50 per $1. 3 blocks away is Parque Duarte, I suspect there is some street action there at night. There is also a farmacia and a pizzeria by the park.

There has been a great deal of confusion with today's chica. She couldn't seem to understand where my hotel is, she kept insisting I was in Santo Domingo. That wasted about an hour until I finally got her to meet me at the park. She showed up with her sister in tow. After exchanging a few words we headed to the room. About 2 minutes after the 3 of us entered the room the maid told me the room limit was 2 people. That's when I found out the tag along was a sister.

If the chica is a pro, she's not very good at it. Everything was rather awkward trying to get started. She ended up staying for almost 2 hours and I gave her 1500 for the effort, or lack thereof. She had a very nice face and an awesome body. She looks like between a see and the cup, but with her tiny frame, they are probably just a solid be cup. About 4' 10" tall, and a great body, just at 3/4 scale.

Overall San Pedro has been a decent spot to pop my cherry.

Tomorrow I am off to La Romana with a different chica.

[JjBee62]

The WiFi works fine, and the TV is a decent sized flat screen with lots of channels, including showtime.

Also, more info on Sun Transport. I had asked for the smallest size vehicle, a van that seats 5, the driver showed up in a 10 passenger sprinter, very clean, with good a / see and free WiFi in the van. If you're traveling with a group, I think it would be a reasonable option.

For my trip, I probably should have got the Same price for a taxi, with some tough negotiating, but this was completely hassle free and quick.

[Charles Pooter]

... there is a lot of traffic and a lot of horns.Dominican definition of a nanosecond: The interval of time between the lights changing to green and the cars behind you sounding their horns.

[Mr Gogo]

Dominican definition of a nanosecond: The interval of time between the lights changing to green and the cars behind you sounding their horns.I can tell you don't spend much time in Santo Domingo. It's common custom for everybody in Santo Domingo to hit their horn every 15 seconds even if there is no traffic or a traffic light LOL.

[JjBee62]

The traffic is already much quieter. There seems to be all the necessities within a short walk. I'm not going to check out the nightlife. I was awake at 2 am and I'm wiped out.

Another bonus, my T-Mobile phone works here, and I have unlimited data and texts. It's a slow connection, but at least it works.

Also, they close the gate at night and there is a security guard on duty.

[JjBee62]

After the brief encounter with the Cupid chica yesterday I decided it was time to really pay attention to the good advice everyone has given me. I'm going to cut my losses, which weren't too bad, and head to Sosua. In fact I'm sitting at the Metro station now. I got here too late, the noon bus was already full, so I will wait for the 4 pm bus.

I woke up this morning and realized I was about to jump in the pool with a shark. So I made my excuses and got out of town. Breakfast was 3 bottles of water and 2 donuts from the bakery 1/2 block away from the hotel, 50 pesos for all. The water was 15 per bottle, and the 2 donuts weren't worth the 5 pesos. After 2 bites they went in the trash and I ate a piece of leftover pizza, 320 for a medium with ham and cheese. It was edible. Taxi to the Astrapu station was 200, and bus to Santo Domingo was 350. Another 250 to Metro by taxi and the ticket to Sosua is 390. I am learning how quickly those pesos add up.

To add insult to injury the hotel owner showed up, the maid charged me the wrong amount and she was there to collect the difference. I would still recommend the hotel. From 10 pm until 6:30 it was perfectly quiet.

Yes, I know you told me so, but some lessons I have to learn on my own.

[Mr Gogo]

Good, honest reporting. Much thanks.

[Mr Enternational]

Yes, I know you told me so, but some lessons I have to learn on my own.Hey man, what are you doing on the bus? We are waiting on some funny stories of you renting a car.

[Mr Gogo]

Hey man, what are you doing on the bus? We are waiting on some funny stories of you renting a car.Yeah he threw us a curve on that one. Well let's improvise; "Mr Gogo never told me the street signs weren't in English. The damn cops would take turns pulling me over for 50 pesos bribes, eight times in 30 minutes. I think I met most of the traffic cops with 30 minutes of getting the rental. Damn! No one speaks English here. Where are the speed limit signs? Fuck! I got a flat 30 minutes after getting the rental and fuck, where is the spare tire. The spare tire is gone so I call the car rental office and everyone at the car rental office now speaks only Spanish. Luckily I see the cops coming to help but they give me a ticket for having a flat but 50 pesos later they are gone".

Just having fun dude, now Sosua gets her turn with you LOL.

[Mr Gogo]

Hey man, what are you doing on the bus? We are waiting on some funny stories of you renting a car.Lmao. If he caught the 4 pm bus to Sosua he should be arriving about now. His life will change forever. I'm predicting that he books his next Sosua trip before this one ends. He also won't visit the south coast anymore this trip after he changes his flight to POP LOL.

[JjBee62]

I got here about 8:30, took a room at Sosua Suites tonight and moving to Plaza Europ tomorrow, then to Casa Cayena Saturday. First order of business is food. Then I will see about the other priorities.

After seeing the roads and the way people drive here, I would feel comfortable driving, but I already talked myself out of that because of the cost.

[OldKool]

Caribe Tours has way more buses going to Sosua then Metro bus. You could have left at 2 pm and saved you a few hours.

I got there at 11:30, and had hoped to get on the noon bus, and didn't feel like adding 2 more taxi rides to my day. This way, I got here, took a 3 minute walk and I was checking into my room.

[BrasilSoccer0]

I wonder who here amongst you used the massage services at the airport? And did you ask for extras. Cause I did. LOL.

It started with an innocent chair massage before my flight out. The girl kept on slipping her soft hands underneath my shirt and it felt food. Just when she was done I asked for a full body massage and she took me to a different location where it was just the two of us.

I started flirting with hee. Complementing her just to soften her. Then I began grabing her butt. She giggled nervously. . so I persisted and told her to give me a happly ending. . she said no! But I kept on touching her.

She kept on repeating only massage. . I took her hand and at one point it was a pull and push and her asking me to stop but she never left the room. . and I got my happy ending.

The girl was so nervous she begged me not to say a word once outside the room.

I think this was her first HJ.

I felt like a pervert. . lmao.

She 24 or 25 and has a child. And she literary wrestled my gropping hands of her bras. .

Please share your experiences about las americas airport massage girls.

[BrasilSoccer0]

Oh. I forgot to say, when I left the room she was sitting at the front desk with a perplexed look but when I slipped her a folded 500 bill she gave me a relaxed smile. . LOL.

What an experience. . LOL.

I'm not a fan of HJ. But this was about a lot more. . ;.

Something a little different worth reporting. I visited a chica I know from sosua in Bonao. I used cameros report as a guide, and I didn't monger. Took a taxi from the airport to the gua gua, which is between metro and Caribe tours,800 pesos. 150 pesos for the gua gua to Bonao. Dropped me off in front of hotel Aquarius. Aquarius is probably the best hotel there and is pretty decent. 75 for two nights, king sized bed a / c. Small pool on 2nd floor. Food in the restaurant very good. Better than in town, reasonably priced, good service. The girl was getting her hair done when I arrived. Told her I was waiting in the hotel bar. I ate and had a beer, talking to a Cuban dude who work s with baseball prospects. She walks in, looking good! She says " you here" She thought I was just talking trash. She was happy! We do a tour of town on her pasola. She's a cowgirl on that thing! LOL. Back to the hotel, she attacked me! Crazy blow job! Amazing sex! Went for food and drinks.

Back for more sex! She showed me how happy she was to see me! Can't buy sex that good in sosua. Took a nap, then hit 3 bars. Good music, drinks in the discos same as sosua, a little cheaper in the Dominican bars. The three better discos wouldn't let us in in sneakers. Being an hour or so from both Santiago and Santo Domingo, I guess they get visitors. There were some Dominicans there who obviously had money. It was a decent side trip. No obvious putas. But brothers, if you get tired of sosua and you know a cool chica, don't be afraid to visit! The sex was amazing! 5 times in two days! She wouldn't let me rest. I had told her I would give her 6000 pesos. I gave her 8000. She deserved it!

[Tempoecorto]

Recently went to Loma de Cabrera, via a rather tortured route. Santiago, Mao, Guayubin, south to Sabaneta, on to Partido and then to Loma for the night. Never touched the autopista.

Nothing remarkable happened during the day long drive which was a disappointment. I started hoping I would be meeting a young one in Mao but she texted that she had to see a doctor for a earache. It was also very hot and despite my attempt to avoid bad roads, I got stuck in a tract from Guyaubin to Sabaneta (Santiago Rodriques). Also presumably because of the heat, there were few people on the road.

Loma is a small town. The hotel was right at the entry of the town in front of a Police or military barrack. I could not find a place that I could have some decent food in. There are the usual comedors and the fried chicken places. I decided to have dinner with empanada and beer only. Bought a beer and sat on a chair outside the colmado while munching on the various empanadas. Met a local boy who showed me a bar and a "drink" but perhaps because of power cuts and being an early day in the week, I could not see any talent. Asked the boy to introduce me to a couple of girls he was chatting with but for one reason or other it did not come through. The boy did show his picture with a girl in NY who is her fiance and is very pregnant.

Slept well and got up and out at around 900 am on the way to Dajabon. Last time, I got lucky there with a student right at the Uni. On the way, right outside of Loma, three women flagged me down. They were all going to the market at Dajabon. The bad thing with three is that you do not know who to focus on and you might turn off the one that is most likely to be hooked. As luck would have it, one of the girls got a phone call and was informed there was no market in Dajabon that day so after about 10 minutes of driving two dropped out to get back home. I asked the third one, to come and sit in front. She did.

I stopped the car someplace and she went out to buy a beer at a colmado and then on the way to Dajabon and I was curious to see this market which I had heard of. The girl was nice and she took my hand and took me around in the huge market. All sorts of stuff, mostly secondhand stuff from the US, on sale. At the end of the market visit, I asked her to take me to the border, which is just about a block. I went to the bridge on the river, which is where slaughter of Haitian took place many years back in the hands of the goons of Trujillo. It was no better now. The poor Haitians were having to negotiate a tortuous route to cross the river and then on to mainland, dreading the security establishment around.

By this time, it was about 12 PM and I was hoping that I have the woman available. So I suggested that we go to eat someplace. She took me to a gas station which also had a carwash (a real one. Meaning people were actually washing cars and there were no women). My car was dirty after the day of driving on a dusty road so I took advantage of that. 150 pesos, while we went and sat in the restaurant and ordered some food. It is here during this stay, I suggested that we go visit a cabana. She demurred and I thought she said yes. I was rather pleased with myself. Finished the beer and told her to take the food along that we could eat elsewhere. My other hunger was stronger, not having bedded anyone the day before. Quizzically, once inside the car, she changed her mind or at least I thought she did, sure as I was in my understanding. I got somewhat pissed off, but mostly with myself and given that a no is a no, I took her a block or two away where she got off to grab a motor scooter to her sister's place.

I circled the university square and did not see anything potential. Finally, I entered the University itself. There were students in various class rooms on the second floor where I had to find a bathroom. Started chatting up a girl who was by herself in a classroom but she left in a huff. When I asked, she said, she was married (casado. Whatever that means in that land). I walked out to the terrace and there were a few sitting there. I decided to approach one who was sitting alone. And managed to chat her up, indeed she introduced me to her English Professor. Nonetheless, after half an hour of chatting, I tried to bring her out with me and she declined.

I was absolutely pissed off by then and decided to drive on to Montecristi.

I have attached some photos but none are of women, but of the road, trees and flowers -stuff that also catches my attention.

Despite no pics nor text on sexual encounters, I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. Part of the fun I get out of visiting the DR is to drive and explore the island.

Who knew if you could have better luck by offering the girls some "gifts", like pay for her shopping at the Dajabon market. In the impoverished countryside, a little quid pro quo may be needed for motivation.

[Tempoecorto]

Thanks for taking the time to write the report.... a little quid pro quo may be needed for motivation.Glad you liked the read.

You would be surprised. I did offer her money to buy stuff at the Dajabon market and she politely declined. I also may have mis-read her. She is 20 if I recall and without children. In her neck of the woods, that sticks out like a sore thumb. So she was not an easy lay as against one who is already a mom, couple of times over on many occasions. I should probably have read the cues better but in the end, I wasted a good bit of time and some money and I was horny, not having done it the day before.

On that note, I had another of those refusals in Santiago. I see a woman as I was getting out for breakfast, I smile and she smiles back and so I go and chat her up. She came to town looking for work so I think, hmm easy pick! Wrong! I take her to the breakfast place and hint at my idea. She hemmed and hawed and when we were done with breakfast, she just had a soda, she said, she would rather not.

I did not do too well on those extempore things, much to my chagrin.

Your report is definitely not the Kama Sutra. You needed to feed her with ripe figs for breakfast to get her into the right state of mind.Well, my name is not Vatsayana either. LOL.

Do figs have some magical property? I do not like them anyway but I could not close on a couple of "chance encounters", something I truly enjoy. In fact, also a few planned ones reneged as well. Perhaps next time, I should fly down, pocketful of figs?

I have attached some photos but none are of women, but of the road, trees and flowers -stuff that also catches my attention.I too have tried to pick up girls in Dajabon, but the culture is not conducive to easy sex. I found that it was relatively easy to bed a girl on a subsequent date, however.

Basically, in this type of atmosphere, the girls are true non pros. That is not to say they are likely to refuse a present of a few thousand pesos after the deed, you just cannot make anything look like prostitution.

This is where tagged is useful, because you can find the rare girl who really needs the money who will have sex with a little effort.

[Tempoecorto]

This is where tagged is useful, because you can find the rare girl who really needs the money who will have sex with a little effort.Yes, but the thing with any of those sites, is that there is nothing spontaneous about them. The whole experience of getting lucky, without having to think about it or working too hard for it, while one is on the road, is more exciting, at least to me. I do agree though that had I tried to reach the girl a second time, it would be different but I had already other plans in other places. On that note, I have been lucky at Dajabon, at the UNI, in the past, which was a serious surprise for me. This is the reason why I entered the uni again this time but heck, nothing happened on two different attempts. Helas!

[Tempoecorto]

I should have reported this earlier. I was in Bonao for a rendezvous. The mother cooked goat meat, my favorite there, but it was not particularly better than what the woman in question did in the past at her own place. I left her a 1000 peso note for the food and the effort. Anyway, after the meal, we went to a cabana and the rate was 500 something, which for three hours I thought was steep. I asked the full night rate and with that too, I balked. In the end, I decided to go to Hotel Jacaranda; it is right on the highway, in Bonao, and I was already familiar with the place and the rate was better than the cabana overnight rate. In the morning, we left, I getting back to Santiago later. Two days down the road, driving to meet someone, I realized I was not wearing my watch. Now, without mentioning the brand, it was a pricey watch and have been with me for 20 years when I got it in Hong Kong. The thing is that these days, with an ubiquitous phone, watches are no longer a necessity which is why I did not miss it until then. I could not remember where I might have left it but between the cabana and the hotel, I was hoping it would be one. I called the woman from Bonao and asked her about checking at the cabana which was close to her place. She insisted that she saw the watch at the Bonao hotel. I found the hotel number and called the reception and the woman said, yes, she has the watch. I mentioned the brand etc. And she again confirmed it. I was truly relieved. This meant I had to do one more trip to the hotel but it did appear to me that in a place like that, the cleaning staff are still very very honest. They may not have known the value but could easily have not reported it and that would be the end of it. I am grateful for that and I thought I should speak of it here.

[Osanhopps]

I am hearing a lot of good things about San Cristobal, and when I was in Sosua last March I heard a lot of women tell me they are from that area. Has anyone have any info on this area?

[Tempoecorto]

I am hearing a lot of good things about San Cristobal, and when I was in Sosua last March I heard a lot of women tell me they are from that area. Has anyone have any info on this area?I visited San Cristobal around Easter 2013 if I recall. I also wrote a report and which was also confirmed by another person doing the same route. Actually I started with Playa Palenque and came back to the capital via San Cristobal. Regular roads vis a vis the autopista. It was a same day trip and other than finding a bunch of bars with take out women, I did not find anything special (granted I did not give it much time either) to make me stick around. There is no money there as far as I could tell and so the girls from there migrate to greener pastures where you might have met them.

I should have reported this earlier. I was in Bonao for a rendezvous. The mother cooked goat meat, my favorite there, but it was not particularly better than what the woman in question did in the past at her own place. I left her a 1000 peso note for the food and the effort. Anyway, after the meal, we went to a cabana and the rate was 500 something, which for three hours I thought was steep. I asked the full night rate and with that too, I balked. In the end, I decided to go to Hotel Jacaranda; it is right on the highway, in Bonao, and I was already familiar with the place and the rate was better than the cabana overnight rate. In the morning, we left, I getting back to Santiago later. Two days down the road, driving to meet someone, I realized I was not wearing my watch. Now, without mentioning the brand, it was a pricey watch and have been with me for 20 years when I got it in Hong Kong. The thing is that these days, with an ubiquitous phone, watches are no longer a necessity which is why I did not miss it until then. I could not remember where I might have left it but between the cabana and the hotel, I was hoping it would be one. I called the woman from Bonao and asked her about checking at the cabana which was close to her place. She insisted that she saw the watch at the Bonao hotel. I found the hotel number and called the reception and the woman said, yes, she has the watch. I mentioned the brand etc. And she again confirmed it. I was truly relieved. This meant I had to do one more trip to the hotel but it did appear to me that in a place like that, the cleaning staff are still very very honest. They may not have known the value but could easily have not reported it and that would be the end of it. I am grateful for that and I thought I should speak of it here.

Brings back a fond memory when I took a 7 day bike trip. Could not find a place to stay in Bonao, so I returned to the highway and got a room at this motel-hotel. Nice rooms blah blah, but it appeared bleak for my boner, because this is a like a turnpike rest area. So I got a room and casually asked the security guard about women. He made a call, one came to my room in about 15 minutes. Great chica, great service. One never to forget. Message is this, don't be afraid to ask someone for help. I gave the guy 200 for which he gave a an honest smile. I love it here!!

Camaro's synopsis of La Vega 2015.

My objective is to see as much of the Dominican Republic as I can while living here and La Vega had been on my radar for quite some time. Shout out to Tgunz who gave me the number of a taxista who agreed to show me around. I had no agenda nor contacts other than the taxista so I was shooting from the hip. My first trip to La Vega was during Carnival however I did not stay long enough to experience what the city has to offer.

La Vega is a mid-sized city south east of Santiago. I have read La Vega, Puerto Plata & La Romana are the 3rd largest cities in Dominican Republic behind Santo Domingo & Santiago so its exact size depends on the perspective of the writer. La Vega is an agricultural center for the region and famous for its annual carnival in February.

Hotel Rey, La Vega.

I tried to book the Hotel Rey during Carnival earlier this year but there was no room available. Upon arriving at the hotel it is not impressive from outside but inside is on point! You are buzzed in and walk up a flight of steps to the receptionist area. The lobby is spacious with comfortable couches there is an internet and coffee station also. There is a restaurant upstairs and a night club connected to the building on the outside.

My room was very comfortable, the air conditioning blasted cold air and there was a flat screen television that I did not watch. My room was basic and small but very comfortable. There was a small refrigerator but no mini bar. The bed was kind of small a full size bed instead of queen size but the mattress was firm and I slept well.

There are WIFI signs posted all over the hotel but I did not use it since I always use my Orange hotspot. There was a spacious closet but no room safe. I was thoroughly impressed by the monogramed "Hotel Rey is the Best" towels I do not believe I have seen anything like that in the Dominican Republic.

Hotel Rey Restaurant.

Hotel Rey has a restaurant however the menu only consist of a few items like chicken and fish with those items ranging around 500 pesos. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor balcony section. I found the staff to be very friendly and the food to be decent.

Hotel Rey has a balcony section to their restaurant on the second floor which gives a great view of La Vega. This hotel is immaculate and if I return to La Vega I would have no problem staying here!

La Vega Car Washes.

According to my taxistas La Vega has no casa de citas but there are a few car washes. The car washes in La Vega serve to clean cars but also have bars and some have restaurants; these venues also have chicas that are available and chicas that hang out there occasionally. I visited the below listed car washes and although I saw a couple of honies nothing that made me want to pull the trigger.

Engini Restaurant & Car Wash.

Engini is on Calle Don Antonio Guzman across the street from Hotel Rey. There is a pizzeria, separate restaurant and the car wash. There was nothing of interest for me to sample.

La Diosa Disco Sports Bar & Hotel & Car Wash.

La Diosa is on Avenida Pedro Rivera. It is a complex that includes a night club, sports bar, restaurant and car wash next door. There was nothing of interest for me to sample.

Plaza Barba Car Wash.

Plaza Barba is on Avenida Pedro Rivera it was closed upon my arrival.

La Zona Car Wash.

La Zona is on the road that goes to Jarabacoa from La Vega. There was nothing of interest for me to sample.

Serie 47 Car Wash.

Serie 47 is on Avenida Pedro Rivera and was the most active of the car washes when I visited. There was karaoke going on and several women out and about I could have pulled the trigger but it was too early in the evening to make a selection.

Note.

My trip started on a Friday however the best time to find action in small Dominican towns is on Saturdays and Sundays which may explain the lack of activity at the venues I visited.

Other La Vega venues.

As previously stated La Vega is not really a PFP town however there are plenty of eating establishments and nightclubs for those who enjoy Dominican night life.

Hotel Rey-Calle Don Antonio Guzman.

Hotel Rey has a night club adjacent to the hotel that rocked each night I was in town.

La Diosa. Avenida Pedro Rivera.

La Diosa is in a plaza that contains multiple venues to include a disco, sports bar restaurant hotel and car wash next door.

Doe – Avenida Pedro Rivera & Cacique- Avenida Pedro Rivera.

Doe & Cacique are night clubs on Avenida Pedro Rivera that are across the street from one another.

Galaxy Apart Hotel – Autopista Duarte.

Galaxy Apart Hotel is a cabana that has a bar and night club on premises. The manager advised he could call chicas in but it is mostly for couples who are using the cabana.

Closing thoughts.

Since La Vega is not a good PFP location it is recommended you have a contact on the ground. In my case the contact was a taxisita who showed me the lay of the land and introduced me to a friend. The friend was very attractive and we got along well however the sex was mediocre. Other options include internet contacts or for those who are bold and confident in their Spanish they can cold approach the many women who are available.

There are not many tourist sites in La Vega however there is plenty of night life with clubs and restaurants. Although it is a mid-sized town there is plenty to keep one busy. My lasting impression of my stay in La Vega will be Hotel Rey, between the disco, the restaurant and the immaculate condition of the hotel along with the staff my stay was made very pleasant.

I look forward to my next visit since my stay was only for 2 short days.

I had lunch with a cupid girl there once. It was early afternoon and there were no actions whatsoever. So I tried to get my own action going, told the girl we could get the food to-go instead and finish across the street at Hotel El Rey. Unfortunately she was one of those "no sex on the first date" kinda gal.

Thanks for the report!

[ShoeStrngBgt]

Everyone should go to the La Vega carnival. Once. After a while the hits start to add up, like I said go once. Not a lot of p2 play action; but if you speak Spanish you will have options available. Found a budget hotel, San Pedro, 700 pesos a night. Couldn't decide if the Osama bin ladin with a fake RPG launcher costume or the guy on the Hitler costume was more offensive; could go either way on that one.

Word of caution. As a American you will be targeted. During the free concert afterwards I had my wallet lifted. I was only out 600 or 700 pesos as mostly money was in my sock (after last year I wasn't surprised to see this happen). While in line 5 or 6 of them ran at me, the front couple reached for my wallet the back few kept pushing. If you go leave valuables at your hotel and keep cash in non obvious spots. Security saw this happen and couldn't have cared less. As always, be safe out there.

Going to an event like that all you needed was 2000 pesos and 1 piece of ID tucked down in your front pocket.

Viaje a Las Terrenas.

I have been living in Puerto Plata for about a year and a half now and I don't do Sosua very much now; I occasionally go when I am bored. I have been working the pro & semi pro scene in Puerto Plata as well as traveling throughout the Island. Below I have listed my most recent excursion.

I decided to head east past Nagua to Las Terrenas to spend the weekend hanging with a friend. On my way outside of Nagua I got stopped by AMET traffic police running radar. The officer said I was speeding. Ohhhhhhhhhhh snap! Who expects speed traps in the Dominican Republic? I was sure I was going to get a ticket so the officer chews me out and tells me to slow down. I know the rank insignia of Dominican law enforcement so I said "gracias Capitan" and he just smiled. WHAT? There was no request for money or displaying my credentials.

Albachiara Hotel, Las Terrenas.

I got an excellent deal on this hotel that is very expensive during high season and can be twice as much for the same room depending on when you book. They are doing renovations on the property and it looks good. Each room has a balcony with furniture a mini kitchen dining room area and bedroom with a king size bed. There were 2 TV's one in the kitchen and 1 in the bedroom. The place was immaculate and kept clean daily.

The staff was great and if I come back I would definitely like to bring a date so she could enjoy it also.

Night Life Las Terrenas.

There are 2 main spots for Las Terrenas night life. Pueblo Pescadores is an area where there used to be fish shacks but now on one side of the street are a couple of clubs and on the other side of the street that faces the beach there are restaurant bars that turn into club spots after 1 am in the morning.

The most infamous night spot in Las Terrenas is La Bodega which is within walking distance of the Albachiara Hotel. About 80% of the chics there are working I saw some tourist couples and what appeared to be singles. It's slow season so it wasn't very busy.

I made 1 pull a chica who looked to be in her late 20's who was 38. She was about 5"4" 130 pounds with a nice shapely body. We connected very well in the club but in the bed connection was not comparable but none the less it was a decent experience. The over all talent level was mediocre but there were a few chicas who were doable. I went 2 nights but on my second night I saw some cuties but didn't connect so I chilled for the night. A Rumbas or Classicos in Sosua it is NOT.

On the same street as La Bodega there is a colmado and liquor store that often has people outside playing music and drinking as similar scene in most Dominican towns.

Anochecer en Las Terrenas.

Las Terrenas is a GREAT place to visit the beaches are nice and the vibe is very laid back. The Albachiara Hotel is excellent between the staff, accommodations and location. One of the best things about the trip is sitting on the beach at dusk and watching the sun set while you feel the mellow breeze off the ocean.

I could go back to Las Terrenas single but I think it would be more enjoyable if I were wifed up with someone who could really enjoy the experience with me. I headed home arrived safe and was beat so I crashed eager for the next excursion.

Going to an event like that all you needed was 2000 pesos and 1 piece of ID tucked down in your front pocket.Really solid advice. Why do you carry a wallet at all? At most I take a color photocopy of my passport that's easily replaced, if needed a credit card in my sock and some cash in my front pocket. You'd normally need no more than a few thousand pesos. That can be broken into a few hundred in the obvious easy pockets for motos or water bottles and a few thousand in socks or hidden pockets for other expenses. What do you expect to need beyond this?

[OldKool]

Your reports are always a treat. I will be in country in less then 3 weeks. My one issue. Deciding which of my established chicas to see. A set of sisters who have given great service over the years, a Haitian cutie who always performs. This is a good problem to have but making choices is a challenge.

Unrelated to Sex (sorry).

If anyone is interested in historic sites, on the north coast, about 30 to 35 miles west of Puerto Plata, are the remains of one of the first Spanish settlements in the New World, La Isabela.

Started in 1493 (yes, 1493!) by Christopher Columbus and a small colony of Spaniards, it was a private enterprise, attempting to mine and smelt metals.

It failed, however. Columbus briefly returned to Spain, leaving a small group of men behind. Upon his return, no trace of them was left. It is believed they fought with the local indigenous tribes and were killed.

The site contains a small museum with artifacts from the colony, a small graveyard, the foundation of the first church built in the New World, and the stone foundations of a small house belonging to Columbus. It is believed to be the only personal residence he ever had in the New World. (When he later became viceroy of Santo Domingo, his residence was an official residence, not a privately owned one).

I was shocked to learn that Columbus' stone house was actually bulldozed by mistake by some idiot, leaving only the stone foundation on a cliff overlooking the sea.

There are local guides available for a small fee, and a shop where they have small wood carvings for sale.

A map check online will show the route.

Just FYI.

Sounds interesting. OTOH, I'll be bringing my little friend who resides in my shorts and he's always interested in P4 P. Is there anything available there?

[AussieStiffler]

Adding to previous reports, it's a friendly town with gorgeous surrounding beaches.

It's full of French and Italian expats and tourists, and there is a remarkable harmony and integration between Dominicans and expats.

Accommodation.

I stayed at Casa Neptunia. Very much a family place.

I took a chica back there one night. Late and the security guy indicated that normally, it's not OK, but if we're quiet and keep it on the down-low it's OK for a one off.

I moved on to an airbnb apartment which made the remainder of the trip more manageable.

Nightlife.

The nightlife is pretty limited. Pueblo de LOS Pescadores is supposed to be the happening area, though was very quiet each time I visited. Even on Saturday night.

The only worthwhile nightlife option is La Bodega. A decent amount of friendly, attractive available chicas are there every night of the week, though weekends are busier.

Chicas.

I took three different girls home from Bodega spanning a week. All with superb results.

I connected really well with one in particular; who noted (post-deed) that she's actually married to a gringo! She's working subversively whilst waiting for her visa to her husband's homeland.

She was very open about her situation and perspective.

She didn't have anything nice to say about her husband. It seems he's merely an ATM and a ticket out of the country.

She even professed that she already plans to divorce him and take half of his wealth in due time.

This isn't a mongering destination. But company is readily available if you want it.

[PogoStick]

Greeting Gents,

I am planning my virgin trip to the DR for business and will be staying in the Bahoruco- Barahona area. Any recommendations for mongering or other activities in this area?

Thanks.

Greeting Gents,

I am planning my virgin trip to the DR for business and will be staying in the Bahoruco- Barahona area. Any recommendations for mongering or other activities in this area?

Thanks.

Pogo.POGO I have been recently to Barahona and Neyba and I can share a part of my report I posted in another site. Hopes it helps a little.

BARAHONA.

Arrived around 6 pm and stayed at the hotel Cacique which is central to everything. 850 pesos for a night stay with air. Basic room with everything I needed even WiFi. So after check in and a shower I proceed to walk a bit around and map my area and dinner. The malecon is one of the places a lot of people gather in the afternoon and night for different activities from sport recreation. Dining and dancing. So most of the clubs are concentrated on this area. As always there are so many clubs all over the town so its hard to cover all of them. Barahona is bigger that I thought it was so I decided I will spend more than a day around. I found a moto as usual that could show me around a little. I couldn't make note and take picture of all the places we went but there is plenty along the malecon strip walking distance from the hotel. I called a day early because I was so tired of the trip. Next day went to the gym than after did another recon around city. There was this small joint at the gas station in front of the malecon I saw a lot of freelancing activity going on day and night. Need to be careful pulling here not all the girls are in for P4P and might get offended. Also there was this billiard club along the strip with some freelancers hanging around. The nightclubs (that's how they call the Dominican girl houses) were a little out of town so I did not venture that far this time maybe some other time. The next day I planned to go to a small town that belongs to the barahona area called "Los Patos"(the ducks) I heard this place resembled paradise itself so I wanted to experience it myself.

LOS PATOS.

From Barahona you can take those mini vans for 150 peso and minimum 1 HR ride cramped on each other with a lot of stop in between to get there. Or a local moto or private taxi which charges everywhere between 1000 to 1600 pesos. An can get you there in 30 min. In my case I choose a moto because I wanted the full experience of the scenery and adrenaline rush through all those steep hills and narrow streets along the shore. Yeah I know it was risky but some times I need that rush. All I can say I enjoyed every bit of it. Awesome scenery. I will probably do this again. So we arrived and I decided to camp at this hotel called 'vista sur"$30 a night close to the main attraction witch is the beach and river. I spend most of my day at the balneario Los Patos and also some at playa San Rafael which is in the town of paraiso not far from Los Patos. No real night live here except a colmado with 2 huge ass speakers and billiard table but it was too expect. It is a very small fisherman's town not much to do than to relax your soul so that's what I did. On your way back to town you have only one choice if you don't own a car or moto which is the minivan bus it takes some time to get you back in town but you'll get there.

[Torso8]

Snippet taken from my full report.

MONTECRISTI.

Took a bus to Santiago and from there a bought a ticket to Montecristi. To be honest I did this out of curiosity. Well I stayed at this hotel in the middle of town called CHIC HOTEL. Nothing fancy but chica friendly and close to the little that was to do. Yeah very little. Its a small town in the nowhere close to the border with Haiti and it was in one word very boring may be because it was on a Monday too who knows. As usual I found myself a moto to show me around. I have to say most of my motos are men between 35 and 40 most men between this age in the Dominican are grandparents and left the street life and focus more on there family and that gives me a little peace of mind rolling around town with them. He brought me to local comedor for my fresh pollo al carbon. After I was done I told him to bring me to the closest beach which is a 15 min drive out town. I spend some time out here and then called him to pick me up when I was finished looking around. In the evening I did walk around the hotel there was this drink called shit I don't remember any more. Any way no big deal. There was definitely some chapis around to be had 5 till 8 in the rating all in Dominican prices but I didn't pull any. Honestly I was more watching my back then focusing on the women. There was so many shady mafioso watching me all the time and I had no wing man so I was on my own. 12 clock police shows up that means its time to close. I went home and called it a night. Ow and another tagged failure but I was glad I didn't meet her I saw an actual pic of her on what's app. I better save the details. But overall I have noticed the women in that town are of dark Indian complexion with wide hips and booty and overall nice face. A very quiet city indeed. If you want to be in a place forgotten by men this would be ideal. I caribe toured my ass at 7 a. M sharp out of Montecristii and arrived somewhere around 12 pm. Time to take my next bus this time I was going south for real.

[Torso8]

This snippet from my full report.

NEYBA.

I choose the hotel in front of the parque central de neyba which is hotel el batey (1000 pesos a night). The hotel has its own comedor which was perfect and good inexpensive food. After freshening up I decided to go to one of neybas main attraction witch is las Marias.

LAS MARIAS.

A 10 min drive moto brought me here its another local balneario (natural spa). Usually quiet weekdays but packed in the weekends well it was Saturday or Sunday when I arrived so that place was packed with people. Typical Dominican family day spot.

Later that day I met a friend from long time back she showed me a little around town and the dos and don't in town. I spend some time in front of this disco that attract a lot of people especially young crowd in the evening it located in front of the hotel so it was ideal. The name.

EL SITIO.

Lot of chapis of course with civilians mixed between. They have indoor music with air and outdoor there was some local DJ that plays from its car stereo system with some big ass speakers mounted in the trunk I think you can hear that coming 4 blocks away. I decided to leave when chapis started to invade my table asking for servesa and beggars asking to clean my shoes over and over. I took a stroll a little further down the road and I found this other place.

CLUB MASERATI.

I had a beer here and spoke the manager / owner Dominican he said they opened recently and this place focus more on the distinguished clientele. And offered me VIP and stuff but I declined politely and explained that I was that simple gringo you don't see every day. But he kept insisting and send my 2 of her best waitress to keep me company (wow. They where outstanding) well that made my mind. For only 10 min. LOL my nasty ass had to ask the question. They said no they are only waiters not putas. Damn I was busted and embarrassed. After 1 jumbo president and a small propinas for chicas I took off.

By this time I finally managed to meet a Facebook prospect I have been pipe lining for a while outside in the park. She said she don't sex on first dates but would like to meet me. So fine. She arrived on her own scooter and she was way better looking that I expected. Damn I had to have her. We sat there for a while chit chat on a couple beer then she start telling me about her problems mainly money and ask if I could help her with something. That sounded like magic in my ear. Oh yes I can. Earn it don't be shy. Took me 2 more jumbo cervezas to loosen her up. I send her away 2 hours later with the pesos to solve whatever and my balls dry. And that was my day in neyba I think ill do a repeat there sometime in the future. I have an unfinished business with villa jaragua.

[Parkinsons]

Thanks for the reports on the less travelled places. You did it all on public transportation too? Respect!

[Torso8]

Thanks for the reports on the less travelled places. You did it all on public transportation too? Respect!I used the Caribe tour, express, motoconcho, publicos. All inexpensive transport. Of course depending where I was.

[Charles Pooter]

MONTECRISTI

... Its a small town in the nowhere close to the border with Haiti and it was in one word very boring ... Honestly I was more watching my back then focusing on the women. There was so many shady mafioso watching me all the time New data from the Ministry of the Interior reveal that Montecristi has the highest homicide rate of any community in the DR.

Highest rate of homicides is Montecristi
The Observatory for Citizen Safety, part of the National Council for Citizen Safety, and published by the Ministry of Interior and Police, has released information on the 10 provinces and municipalities with the highest levels of homicide in the Dominican Republic during 2016.

Worst: Montecristi with a homicide rate of 34 murders per 100,000 inhabitants

--------------------------------------------------

I too would like to congratulate you on doing everything with public transport.

[Tempoecorto]

This snippet from my full report. NEYBA. Thanks for an interesting set of reports and pictures. Question, what drew you to Neyba or Los Patos? Personally, I have never heard of those places, ever! I presume women were not the motivating factor, given the hit rate I read about.

Thanks for an interesting set of reports and pictures. Question, what drew you to Neyba or Los Patos? Personally, I have never heard of those places, ever! I presume women were not the motivating factor, given the hit rate I read about.You are right. Most of my trips are not mongering trips but lets call it a more combined vacation. So I like to venture out and explore the less gringo visited areas and of course if possible enjoy the companion of a hot Dr woman.

I am here for a few weeks. Been around town some the past few nights. I can't bring ladies back to where I am staying (private villa belongs to my clients) but will share what I have seen so far. Tuesday night was busy. Outside Bodega bar few ladies on sidewalk. Walking up 27 de Febrero past Albachiria hotel a group of 3 ladies walked by one tried to grab my junk.

Coming away from Bodega up Liberty Street a couple by the restaurants there but more on Del Carmen heading from the Ship looking hotel to almost the supermarkets. This was all just after dark until about 830 pm.

Wednesday I was in town earlier, maybe 6 to 730 pm. Not as much that early, Bodega quiet, Del Carmen only had a few darker skin ladies out. One very forward team of two ladies the one speaking to me was Haitian but very thin and attractive told me she was very good at some things and was explicit. I just said sorry no comprede and she started speaking in broken English, but I still pretended I didn't understand and walked away. Should have asked how much for reporting purposes but maybe next time.

I have a motor bike but hate parking it in town so I take moto taxi for 100 pesos to town and walk around. I feel very safe everywhere I have been in town.

[Stoker Star]

I have been to Barahona many times all with good results. This is not a city to walk around in you need to be careful. First night meet a girl at the Big Tree. Defiantly a pick-up joint. This is a fairly large outdoor venue across from The Fabrica Liquor and Ice store. If the big tree is closed, which I think it is on Wednesday, Fabrica becomes the go to place. Decent girl spent the night. No money was ever discussed. Gave her $2000 pesos (47 to 1).

Next night hooked up with a girl from Dominican Cupid. Beautiful girl total la noche. Gave her $3000 pesos. Better service. This girl was unique. She had tits of 2 different sizes. Both looked nice but it was kinda of strange. One was 34 aa the other was a 34 dd.

I would repeat with both girls.

[Tempoecorto]

I just returned from a trip to the DR. Instead of text, I decided to add pictures that would add more, I feel. Came down on the highway up to Bonao (from Santiago) and then turned to the right. Discovered an area that I was not familiar with and that has a lot of natural beauty. The unpaved road, which no one warns you about, given the beautiful road earlier, scared me somewhat, especially when you see rocks on the road that fell of the ledges and awesome vista at the same time. It was a tiring drive by the time I got to Bani.

I also discovered the area that is full of coffee plantations. Finally a picture of a town called Bani. Not worth visiting with hardly anything better than fried chicken to eat, better straight to the beach areas known as las Salinas.

The photos are best viewed in sequence and so I named but given that no more than 10 photos can be be uploaded, I had to take off a few and the sequence is broken. My apologies.

Last week I did the opposite as Tempo did. I was going north from SD to meet a girl in Cotui. So I veered off to the other side (east) of Autopista Duarte right around Bonao. It was a 2-lane hilly road full of potholes and fallen rocks, a terrain similar to what Tempo described. There were small bridges where whole sections have gone missing. Lo and behold, I must have hit a pothole somewhere there because hours later when we came out of the cabana, a tire has gone flat. As soon as I noticed, I stopped and as divine providence would have it, I stopped right in front of a gomera. The helpful neighbor called the guy for us as he wasn't there. She even brought us chairs while we waited. 200 pesos got the tire plugged, then I dropped my girl off at her University. By then the sun had gone down. I continued on to Sosua and passed by San Francisco de Macoris. After that, thanks to Google map, I white-knuckled it all the through twisty crumbling hillside road in the dark to Sosua. (This wasn't the Carretera Luperon that goes from Santiago to the west of Sosua -- the one that I regretted driving on a few years back. This route puts me out east of Cabarete.) I caught up with Grownman for a bit, had every intention to wake up and hit Classicos after a quick nap. Next thing I knew it was 4 am. By the time I got to the after-hours casino, pickings were slim. I turned right around back to Hotel Europa and went back to bed.

As soon as I noticed, I stopped and as divine providence would have it, I stopped right in front of a gomera. Looking at the photo, the road seems to be great where you found the gomero. I had the exact same situation on the mountain road (carretera Luperon) coming from Sosua, when I hit a hole and the tire went flat. I had the same exact situation in terms of friendly help from the local people. Amazing!

BTW, I did the road to Cotui you did (on the way to Pimentel) a few years back and it goes behind the mine (I forget the name) that gives jobs to a lot of people in Bonao. If I recall it was an Australian company. You would have done the same route.

I just spent 2 x nights in Jarabocoa. This wasn't a mongering trip as such as its not really the location for that. I went there to experience the place, the cooler climate, a country town, nature, the waterfalls & to paraglide.

That said, it didn't stop me from trying. I went on a Tuesday / Wednesday and nightlife is limited outside of the weekend. Having read Camaro's previous trip report, I checked out super cafeteria juniors on Calle Liberdad. Looks like they hit every branch on the ugly tree on the way down!

Got a motoconcho on the case. He took me to another place, it was dead. Then another. Open air place. There were 4 chicas behind the bar. 1 of them was ok but I didn't tap it. They closed at 10 pm. Sorry but I have no idea where these places were or what they were called.

The next evening, I approached another motoconcho guy. He took me to an actual car wash before he got the message! He then took me to a place a couple of kilometres outside town. He assured me there would be plenty of good chicas. Well there were 12 so not so bad on that score but none of them above a 5. I went back in to the Parque Central to do some drinking. Stopped off at one of the watering holes at the corner of the park. Shared a few beers with a couple of local regular girls but that's as far as it went. One working girl showed up and touted herself outside a few of the bars. Didn't seem to bad but after a few minutes she was not to be seen.

So. No score in Jarabacoa but then I had no such expectations. I'm sure it's possible if you get to know the place but I was just passing thru. Back to Sosua to get my last fix before heading home in a few days.

[Mr Enternational]

The next evening, I approached another motoconcho guy. He took me to an actual car wash before he got the message!In DR many car washes double as bars/brothels.

[Joe100]

In DR many car washes double as bars/brothels.Understood. And that's why I asked him for a car wash con mujeres. But this particular car wash didn't have a bar, etc.

[BigTimeFun]

Thinking about a trip to Las Terrenas. Does anybody have Intel on the mongering scene / I have heard it is an active site but their is no thread on this location.

[D Cups]

Just curious if anyone has been to Constanza (1:15 west of Bonao). Large Japanese population. I would love to bang some large breasted Japanese-Dominicanas. Best of both worlds. Cheers.

[UrbanGuest]

I'm going to be on the island in a couple of days and was thinking of going over to Monte Christi and Dajabon. Any mongering info on either? I haven't seen much current info on this site.

[Mr Enternational]

I'm going to be on the island in a couple of days and was thinking of going over to Monte Christi and Dajabon. Any mongering info on either? I haven't seen much current info on this site.A few months ago my brother drove there from Santiago and he drove right back down. Nothing going on up there. BYOB unless you are going up there to meet one from online or something, which I assume my brother did.

I have a large number of chicas in San Pedro. They are all young and pretty, and very willing to spend time with me. Indeed, each one has brought me a friend and as a result, I have done more than my fair share of "trios". These friends can entirely fill my time in the DR. I haven't bothered with a casa in years.

The problem is that I end up paying a fortune to bring them into Sto Domingo. Even Uber costs as much as the girls. I usually have one or two days and would love to spend them near the chicas.

Does anyone know of a nice place in San Pedro (or even Juan Dolio) that is very chica friendly (ie, won't blink when I bring back 2 or 3 girls)? I absolutely need good wifi and I am fond of clean.

We have been eyeing that spot for awhile. The malecon on Friday nights are the best. If you roll with the SP connections, then you are ahead of the game. Kudos to you for branching out and finding paradise in la República Dominicana. Looking forward to more reports about SP living.

You have the beach in walking distance and that will give you something more to do for entertainment. JD mines their business for the most part.
It cost under 300 peso to come from The capital to San Perdro by bus. It’s a little time-consuming but the Dominicans are used to it.

[Mr Enternational]

[Mr Gogo]

Make them hoes take the bus. How you think they get around when you are not there?The girls I brought down Superbowl weekend at BQs were from SP. They spent two hours catching the bus. We have a good report and Karin will travel with friends. The guys were headed to GPB when the girls arrived so I was going to entertain all 3 of them but Grownman and another dudes were using them for fallback. One girl left early in the morning to go to work and me and Grownman dropped the other 2 off at Boca chica. So yeah, San Pedro girls will travel to La Capital.

[Member #4643]

Make them hoes take the bus. How you think they get around when you are not there?These girls are the gift that keeps giving. I have been fucking them and their girlfriends and their cousins and their cousin's friends for over a decade. Some have expired as interesting sex friends (ie, they are now too old for my tastes) but still find me young beautiful women to fuck. In between my visits to the DR, we communicate by Messenger or WhatsApp and they send me photos of their friends. I make my selections from the photos and then pay for them to come to my hotel by taxi. Generally, the new ones come with the old ones, and we do "trios", although Dominicans aren't great at threesomes.

Why do I pay for a taxi when they obviously will be happy to come by gua-gua? Or bus? Two reasons. One, a happy girl is MUCH better in bed than a tired unhappy one. Two, my driver delivers them on time. If I ask him to have the girl to me at 5 pm, they arrive at 5 pm. Of course, they like the idea of taxis. I give them money for transportation when they leave, but I am certain that the majority keep the taxi money (2500 DOP) and take gua-guas or buses back to San Pedro.

BTW: in my view, these are not "hoes". I doubt that any of them consciously prostitute themselves to anyone and they do not consider fucking me to be prostitution (even if the average mongerer does). They are not afraid to ask for money, but they NEVER mention a price up front nor do they ever ask to be paid (occasionally a girl will ask for a gift, but this is always the girl whom I did not fuck when two girls showed up when I only had energy for one). I always give the girls money, generally $100 for "todo la noche" and $50 for a couple of hours. When one factors in the taxi money, it is not cheap, but not terribly different than the Casa Teresa except they stay all night and do whatever I wish (BBBJ, BBBJTCIM, masturbation shows, etc). Maybe Mr Gogo and Mr Enternational can get 6 girls for that price, but I am lucky when I empty the chamber with two girls in a day. So I don't need to save my money.

I'm kind of surprise you haven't tried to get closer to the pond, but I understand, why move closer to the pond when you have been fishing comfortable from SD with no problem. Besides that you've been in this game for a while so I'm sure you have your reasons for using SD as your base.

I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money because obviously you are aware and / or don't care what the chicas do with the money you get them for taxi. If you don't mind, I like to quiver for the newbies with your post to give my perspective. The average Dominican would never Pay extra for a taxi when the gua gua is a fraction of the price. They have been raised culturally to devote their time navigating the cheaper less expensive traveling route. They have the extra time budgeted in their daily routine. However if someone else is footing the bill they have no problem jumping in a taxi. If you give them the taxi money and tell them to choose they going to take the gua gua pocket the extra money.

Newbies look at it like this. You want to go to the DR so you use sky scanner. There's a flight that can get you there in four hours one at for $300. That's about what you are used to paying and you've been traveling back and forth for years. Then you see there's a flight on a jet that can have you there in 45 minutes, however the flight is $1300. What if someone tells you they will pay the jet flight for you. Or tell you we will give you the jet price money and you do as you see fit. IMO That's how the chicas view The situation.

The Dominican's have learned to take advantage of our dick hard - More money - less time situation. Sub had a good example in the Boca Chica section on how the Moto Concho Guy took advantage of him. However in your case it's not that you're being taken advantage of. You were well aware of what you were paying and have it in your budget of enjoying your vacation.

Mr. E use of the word Hoe was more comical with truthism. (my word). The term Hoe and prostitute is like hotel and motel in our culture. Let's be honest they're not having sex for you for fun. If a Chica that you paid to have sex with, brings you her friend, family member, or stranger so you can exchange money for Sexual favors that's prostitution in our eyes and those girls are generally called hoes.

I think I understand what you're saying. That these are not SW constantly looking for new clients on a daily basis. If it wasn't for an introduction they may have never met you. That's what I love about the DR. My friends constantly asked me about the prostitution in the DR. Or the Hoes as some call them. I tried to explain to them yes there are SW all over the country. There are also women who wouldn't dare sell their body on the streets to strangers, but if they meet and / or are introduce to man who is interested in them, they can be enticed with money, cellphone, hair Or other commodities for the exchange of sexual favors. These Hoes don't consider themselves prostitutes. Dominican culture somewhat bolsters their outlook of it not being prostitution. Smart Chicas try to keep your money circulating within their own circle of friends and family members. Some vets have been introduced to chicas through their own mothers or grandmothers. They don't see it as prostituting their love ones.

I have a question? Why don't you use the same driver that brought them to take them back? I understand you give them 2500 for a cab when they leave. How much do you pay the cab driver to bring it to you?

Your New interest in being closer to the area is one that I have talked to Gogo about many times. I've Hung out in San Pedro many times. I've never found a place actually in San Pedro ideally for me to stay. Juan Dolio 15 minutes West of SP and 12 minutes east of Boca Chica was a more comfortable and controllable environment. Like you, I love the vibe of San Pedro women. They seem to have less drama. My friend who visits his Novia there says there are so many beautiful dark skin women in SP. I've yet to find them in abundance. But my time is limited when I'm there.

When you're introduced to a new prospect through an old acquaintance, I see a correlation of less drama and more fun with the Chica. Is that your same experience?

[SubCmdr]

These girls are the gift that keeps giving. I have been fucking them and their girlfriends and their cousins and their cousin's friends for over a decade..Let me start by saying brother Forest that this a report of distinction. It covers a new area, prices, activities and sources. You are truly a fellow man in the arena.

Is San Pedro de Macoris non pro heaven? Sounds like it is for you when it comes to sourcing quality girls that you like. You compensate them how you wish. And you don't pay any attention to those who might tell you how to spend your money but don't have your money. Like me you are not a "alligator arm" brother. In fact if I remember correctly somebody once called me "Santa Claus". LOL!

You post confirms what I have always believed and experienced here in Republica Dominicana and that is when you are working with non pros it pays to treat them well if they are treating you well. Just because money is exchanging hands does not mean they think they are a prostitute. Grownman hit the definition right on the head. And I find there is a difference in the experience. Grownman has a great post in my blog about the difference between girlfriends and Ho's.

It's funny. Grownman and I were talking about actually rolling to San Pedro de Marcoris. I've never actually been there although I have met a few girls from there when I've been in Boca Chica. And I'm still pissed about that 50 DOP (.94 USD) that moto guy got me for. LOL!

Live long and may the pussy be with you!

[GrownMan1]

In fact if I remember correctly somebody once called me "Santa Claus". LOL !That would have been me sir. But then someone took the title from you. That was in 2015! You made me remember the post. Are you still with that chica? Since you brought it up I would like to break down the trip report. Not your actions but how the chicas in my perspective operate.

[SubCmdr]

Since you brought it up I would like to break down the trip report. Not your actions but how the chicas in my perspective operate.To answer your question Senor, I am not with her anymore. And I miss her so much. Not afraid to admit I got sprung on the cat with that one. I still have not found a better combination of sex, beauty and personality since I've been on this island. And when I told her she needed to lose weight, she started walking and then hit the gym. You got me reminiscing. I'm about to shed a tear up in here. LOL!

When I was working one of the best supervisors I ever had used to have a debriefing after every movement our shift made in the field. Our entire shift was new and it was our first time in that type of assignment. After we were back in the truck he would go over what we did well and poorly as both a team and individuals. My knowledge of how to do my job accelerated exponentially that year. He could be critical, but he was always constructive never harsh. He used both humor and examples to teach us. He was a great guy with tremendous personality. He would segue way into a different subject seamlessly and sometime it took us a minute to even realize the debriefing was over. By the end our team was performing at the highest level and it was a good thing as we wound up in the big time and we were being looked at closely by upper management.

I would like to see your break down. I know I will learn something from it. And I'm sure others will too. Well at least the non veterans and veterans with open minds will learn something. Critics, nah, but they don't matter anyway.

[Mr Gogo]

The girl had been given an allowance, a health plan, tuition reimbursement and still needed extra money monthly. Personally I think she was a 4 in the face with an 8 type body. Bq ribs gave her a 6 in the face but he was always a gentleman.

Here's the wammy, I couldn't tell him they did the switcheroo from the beginning. That wasn't the girl he initially met online LOL. They passed him on, probably some hustler working dudes online. Said this was the first girls cousin LOL.

Really enjoy your posts Grownman.

[SubCmdr]

There has been a complete mischaracterization of the girl we are talking about in our conversation here Grownman. And I actually don't know who he is talking about. My original harem was six girls. I knew the families of all my girls. I was in their homes. The individual who made the post and BBQ Ribs never met or ever saw the girl in the post we are discussing Grownman. In fact, I don't think either one met or saw pictures of any of the girls in my original harem. He is in a word: confused. It happens when you are of advanced aged and party a lot.

We have moved from him being a critic to quotes from dead men being critical of me. BBQ Ribs said many unflattering things about the poster in question during our many email exchanges.

[GrownMan1]

Wow you were treating her well. What happened?

[SubCmdr]

Life is too short to carry on years of animosity.Agreed.


Wow you were treating her well.And she was treating me well in return.


What happened?Somebody wrote: "She couldn't babysit no more". Anyone know why someone would write that? Did he know her?

You know what happened Grownman?

She died in a guagua accident! She left behind two young boys who were up and coming baseball players on traveling teams to the United States of America. I was notified by her sister who knew we were close because when ever was I at her house her sister would often come by for me to help her with her English lessons. A most tragic and sad situation. Her boys were good kids. And I hope they grow up to be good men. She was good mother and a good person.

Heading over to Las Terrenas next month anyone got a line on some things to do while there? I've been to other parts of the isla but wanted to check this area out since there are very few reports.

I suspect the action in this area is limited but we will see.

The King.Action is more low key and one club where most working girls hang. La Bodega. Rent a quad. Go to Playa Bonita which definitely deserves the name. You can eat French food from former chef to a former French prime minister or pizza and local fare. A bit further is Coson. Go to "donde luis" right on the beach with the freshest fish you ever had. Have to enter on a dirt road so quad is best. Many hotels can book a day trip to salto de limon which is very nice. The mule ride out to it can be scary but the salto is worth it. Another trip that is cool is laguna gri gri.

As far as the town goes for normal bars and eats, I like one love surf shack for Canadian breakfast and bar eats. Mojitos has great mojitos and a killer view with good cheap eats. Upscale I like tres caravelles. Maybe the best pizza I have had in DR was at la vita e bella.

I may have to split my time between Las Terrenas and maybe Boca Chica. I been trying to fish online from a few sites but doesn't seem like many girls from Las Terrenas are active on those sites.

"San Francisco, Dominican Republic. - Since the early Friday the authorities have blocked the access routes to San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic's 4th largest city. National Police officers were posted at the exits to Villa Tapia, Santo Domingo, Nagua, Tenares, among others. The police stop the vehicles, except those carrying food and fuel, as well as members of the press and health workers."

https://dominicantoday.com/dr/local/2020/03/27/police-lock-down-dominican-republics-4th-largest-city/

No, I've never been there. My playmate there (not proper English usage) is giving me daily updates. Still waiting for reports from those claiming to be living like a local.

[SubCmdr]

Very positive report from my fellow "boots on the ground" reporter up north. The King of Sosua is putting in some good work. Posting up the kind of stuff I want to know about. Right now that is what is of interest (at least to me). Not complicated. If you are off island you are just telling stories or making one line smart ass comments. If you have "boots on the ground" you are pointing people to where to read about interesting stuff or share what you see yourself. I see The King of Sosua knows the Mayor on a first name basis. From what I know about living here in Repubica Dominicana, you would not need to respect the police if that was actually the case. If you know the Mayor on a first name basis, the police respect you!

Who lives in Republica Dominicana and and posts in this forum who does not live "among the locals"? That is some weird shit to say. Because unless you live in a building / compound that has nothing but expats it would be impossible to live in any other manner. Hell, even if you are just a short term ABnB renter others living in the building are most likely going to be locals. Unless you are living large and renting villas without neighbors. And if you roll like that more power to ya brother. I am not hating on those who are not afraid to spend a little money here and there. Does not make you any less real just because you do not have to worry about saving 500 DOP because you are waiting for your next retirement check to show up!

So we dropping names: How about La Romana? Was there last week. You know that main street that you enter when you stay to your left at the fork. Yeah, went down that street. Everything closed including the two cabanas that you hit right after the fork. No job but I still got the gran jefe mobile and can afford to fuel it up. You know what else I didn't see while I was rolling down the road? Buses or guaguas. That's right! No public transportation whatsoever. Got no private transportation? Guess that is why you are walking. LOL!

Let's keep dropping names shall we? Wait, wait let me google it: Hato Mayor. You know that they have that province locked down right? Residents only. How did I get in? Well trust me, my girl was not wearing "that shit on her head" and looking cute in a getto sort of way when we hit the check point. But hey if you like that kind of stuff, I love it for ya! She must of laid something heavy on them cause they waived us on through. I am not at liberty to discuss the nature of trip. But I am pleased to report that what I saw was like I expected it to be. Traffic was light and I was doing way more than 100 on the highway. But heads up my fellow brothers brave enough to get behind the wheel, AMAT be running radar and pulling people over. Saw several speed traps during my trip.

Who is going to lecture me now on how a vehicle purchase in the Dominican Republic is a waste of money? Honestly, I do not know personally a single person that lives here or spends extensive time here (for whom this is not their country or origin) that does not have a car.

Somebody tell big titty lover, I got "boots on the ground"! Post up some current information. Big titty lover cannot do it. There is an international travel ban right now. But why is Mr. Chuck Brown just counting paragraphs while reading every word of my posts? He should be able to post up some current information also. Why has he not told us what it is like in Republica Dominicana where he is living after 5 PM?

I got girls that do not go outside with "that shit on their heads" and they may or may not have big titties. Not complicated at all to do. Writing about it is complicated. Takes time to do more than just be a keyboard jockey. This is just one illustration of how the forum is better if people are posting their information instead of just being critical about the information others are posting. The ignore function works. Some of you should use it.

I am not a simple person. You see something is only complicated if you do not understand it. I thought Spanish was complicated until I went to school learned grammatical structure and worked on it in the real world. As opposed to being stuck in the past. I allow the past to inform my future. A leader deals with change. If you are doing things the same way you did them five years ago, then I will argue that you have not learned anything. I find it interesting how others do things. But if they are not the way I do thing or my preferences I do not need to be critical of others in order to make myself feel better.

So many ways to get pussy in Republica Dominicana. Just because someone has a preference on how to do it over how anyone else does is really not important. What is important to me is for you to share how you do it. Having a girlfriend is not mongering. Mongering is not having a girlfriend. So who is going come onto the forum and say that one way is better that any other way? I know, I know plenty of people do. But those same people end their critical posts with "to each their own". So which is it?

This is paragraph 10, if you are counting. But remember I get paid by the word. Paragraphs do not mean shit to me. Now COVID-19; That is the real shit. It has crippled the entire world economy. It is fucking up a whole lot of monger travel plans. And making some people write some crazy shit (including me) cause they got nothing better to do. LOL!

Until it gets me gentlemen. Holla!

Heads up! I have written about this before but I think it deserves to be addressed again. If you are the type to get your money from a ATM (and I happen to be that type) I prefer Scotiabank ATMs. The current fee is only 200 DOP. And they give you small notes. They even allow you to change the mix of small notes that you receive to your preference. The standard mix is 8 x 1000 DOP notes; 2 x 500 DOP notes; 4 x 200 DOP notes; and 2 x 100 DOP notes. A vet knows small notes are gold in the street. New guys should actually listen to the vets on that one (but not much else). Have yourself a fist full of small notes when you hit the streets.

A brief digression for a funny story. When you know the culture like I do (been living here a few years) you can take advantage. I parked in a commercial plaza over in Santo Domingo. When I entered the parking lot I received a ticket. The flat fee was 25 DOP. So, I thought when I exit let me try something. I handed the parking attendant my ticket and a 1000 DOP note. He waved me thru. Hey Grownman, I got half of my 50 DOP back from the system. You should be proud of your boy. LOL!

Scotiabank recently bought out Progressive bank. So at one of the locations I usually hit the ATM I had this new experience. It also was a new experience in that I did to have to wait in a line at the ATM. First time since the SOE was invoked. And it was the shortest line I had experienced to get into the establishment that had the ATM. Things are returning to normal on the ground. I live local and I live with locals (whatever the fuck that happens to mean).

In fact, I am going to address something that I think represents a incorrect representation of Dominican Culture. And that is the idea of the barrio making a Dominican real. Where did that bullshit idea come from? Like there are no rich Dominicans? There are no middle class Dominicans? And if you are rich or middle class and Dominican you are not a real Dominican? GTF! Every Dominican born here is as real as it gets. I had a doctora tell me that she wanted to move the US because here in Republica Dominicana when the lights go out they go out on the rich and poor alike. The only difference when that happens is if you can afford to buy a investor or generator. That is real life! And living like a local for real.

I have lived among middle class Dominicans and I have lived among poor ones. I have not lived among the rich ones. Because I was not interested (was it that I could not) in paying the freight it takes to live in the rich areas. But let me tell you from my experience of living here almost continually they are all real Dominicans. And going into the barrio the ones you meet there are no more real than the ones you meet in Piantini. The test of real is not for Dominicans. The test for real is for gringos. Can you operate in Blue Mall as effectively as you can in Mega Centro (if you happen to run day game). That makes you real. Real experienced. I reject the idea that barrio means real and having money makes you any less real. I read somewhere that there are individuals have multiple places to live in multiple countries but they walk everywhere. That makes them real. Yeah it does. Real tired. LOL! But I digress again.

There is more stuff in Santo Domingo. But Santo Domingo este is on the come up. And it has been for some time now. I have been advocating the amenities that Santo Domingo este offers for more than a quick minute. And still do. Santo Domingo este deserves it own forum because it is uniquely different from Santo Domingo and will only continue to differentiate itself. I have seen nothing but improvements the entire time I lived there and I still enjoy visiting. Turn your nose up at it like a stuck up chica I was talking to from Santiago if you want to. I like it! I only cross the bridge on a special occasion now.

Where, for example, can one find a GF hotel with excellent Wi-Fi and access to bars with working girls and semi-pros? That would be a starter.

And, for day game, is it easy to pull non-pros / semi-pros from Mega Centro? And if the answer is yes, please tell us at least one winning strategy.

Sounds very interesting to me, as I never go far from Sto Domingo when I am in the DR.

[SubCmdr]

It would be nice if you were to tell us some more. Where, for example, can one find a GF hotel with excellent Wi-Fi and access to bars with working girls and semi-pros? That would be a starter.Now I do not usually talk that RTFF bullshit. But in your case I will make an exception. Because anybody that has questions about Santo Domingo este knows they can be answered in detail in my posts and my blog. Years of them in fact. Skip over the nonsensical back and forth that occurred constantly back then and you will find some jewels of information. So, for a starter how about reading what I have written and then asking me for further details.

But as a quick start guide to Santo Domingo este: I would guess that almost any hotel on Aveneda Espana is girl friendly as they have prostitutes working out of them. Active nightlife all up and down that strip. Also, many AirBnB excellent quality rentals available at what I consider to be fair prices also.

I live here in Republica Dominicana. I rarely use hotels. I use cabanas a lot. Here is some info on them: Search "Cabana education" in general information forum.

Posts on my activities with pros can be found in Grownmans Boom Boom Room user blog.


And, for day game, is it easy to pull non-pros / semi-pros from Mega Centro? And if the answer is yes, please tell us at least one winning strategy.The answer is it depends: 1. How good is your Spanish? 2. How good looking are you? 3. What is your demeanor and attitude? 4. Can you actually make a cold approach on a non professional Dominican? 5. Do you have any game in your own country of origin in the first place? Because if you do not you are not going to come to Republica Dominicana and pull non pros from Mega Centro.

If you have answered yes to all of the above, read this: Search for "Day Game" in my User Blog.

Asked and answered counselor. And here is what a vet said about my post:


Excellent write up and suggestions. Personally I have never been to Mega centro but then I am kind of allergic to SD as it is a big city but I am, some what like you, drawn to anything "barrio". LOL! Indeed I would be curious to try it out at this location, once.
One caveat though: You are giving away the secrets and that might not be a good thing by overcrowding the field, eh? .
Sounds very interesting to me, as I never go far from Sto Domingo when I am in the DR.Dowhatchalike bro!

Open letter to you brother. You are a critic! That means you do not matter. Post a trip report! And become a man in the arena. Do not step to me again as only a keyboard warrior and call me out. After you have been schooled by my excellent information that I have been posting for years (and you use it to get yourself some new pussy) for starters how about sharing your experiences? LOL!

Boots on the ground. Man in the Arena! I will continue to post until COVID-19 gets me.

[SubCmdr]

I like Touts. I let them share information with with me. And if the info is good I tip them. If it is not I send them on their way angry. That is their business and they take their chances choosing who they want to spend time pursing.

I actually find the Taxi drivers outside of the hotels in Santo Domingo to be the most useful. They can't follow you. They know their stuff. And they they don't hound you cause they are just picking up some extra money when they talk to you cause they already have their full time gig going. And if a driver owns his own taxi you are looking a real businessmen who had to find capital and run the gauntlet trough the licensing system.

They usually have an amazing photo line up of girls. I have never participated because their prices are too high. The girl needs to get paid and she's got to give the Taxi driver a marketing fee. But the girls in their photo lines ups are smoking hot!

I shall now wait for my crew of off island haters to post up the following details: 1. Never use a taxi driver to find a girl. 2. All you do is pay tourist prices to prostitutes because you do not have any game to pull non pros. 3. Pussy is everywhere why do you need any help to to find pussy. 4. You really do not know anything because all you do is sit in your dwelling playing computer games and making up stories. 5. you don red o spel 2 gud. Yes, I've heard it all. And yet, life here go on. The pussy continues to be wet and available and the Presidente stays cold (if you buy it from the right place). I'm a rum man myself: Brugal. But good bourbon is coming, right?

Boots on the ground report: Life if basically normal here for me. With the exception of being under house arrest from 7 PM to 5 AM, you just don your mask and head out to do your business. Temperature checks in some locations, hand sanitizer in others, both in even more. Mask required! And do not fuck with the quarantine. I live in a gated community. Group of people were having a meeting in the street inside the gates. Police rolled in people ran like the feds jumping out on the drug boys. One lady did not make it to safety. Middle aged lady with mobility problems. They detained her and put her in the truck. Literally chased everyone else to the thresholds of their properties but did not catch anyone else. They drove off with the lady. Someone asked if the quarantine was being enforced. As I have said before I am quick to say fuck the police (especially in my country of origin) but I do not fuck with the police. Do you?

[Manizales911]

And do not fuck with the quarantine.Someone asked if the quarantine was being enforced. ?It's a curfew not a quarantine. But yes, don't mess with going out after curfew unless you are okay with getting arrested, I saw quite a few people get locked up in Sosua, both locals and gringos.

[SubCmdr]

Thank you for that correction. My report was from this week. Exactly when did you see people getting locked up in Sosua?

[SubCmdr]

I went to a facility that I frequent that sells vital goods. I am there weekly have been going there the entire time I have lived on the island so I know the workers. Not personally, but I know their faces but not their names. The lines were longer than usually.

But what I saw today was the first thing that I have seen that makes me concerned about the COVID-19 threat in Republica Dominicana. I saw more than a half dozen people without masks. The workers had to yell at the people to put their masks on. What was strange is that they all had them. Some even had them around their necks. This was concerning as I watched from a distance because my order was special and took extra time to complete outside of the normal work flow.

I did not like what I saw. It shows that either people are beginning to not take the threat seriously or have grown fatigued with the COVID-19 prevention measures. Man in the arena reporting here! Boots on the ground perspective. Until COVID-19 gets me.

[Manizales911]

Thank you for that correction. My report was from this week. Exactly when did you see people getting locked up in Sosua?Exactly when I'm not sure, I forgot to mark my calendar LOL but it was around the last week of March or first week of April.

[SubCmdr]

So far back that you can not remember. That is interesting. I did not see your report about it back then. Had I then I would not be asking nor would you need to have marked you calender. LOL! Maybe it was my oversight?


Exactly when I'm not sure, I forgot to mark my calendar LOL but it was around the last week of March or first week of April.

[SubCmdr]

Mr Enternational I know you're a veteran in the city and I won't argue with you.I don't argue. I present facts. And different opinions.


I was there just recently six weeks ago and lot of people struggle over there without jobs. A minimum rent is 7000 minimum and lot of people are behind on rent payments. Milk alone cost nearly $5 now, and sack of rice nearly $7-8, if you go for the meats and other essentials then 1200 DOP would not last for a week. Just my own observation.I was in an Ole in Santo Domingo este yesterdayand paid:

299 DOP for 10 pounds of rice. At a exchange rate of 58 DOP to 1 USD that is 5. 16 USD.

58 DOP for 1 liter of whole milk. At a exchange rate of 58 DOP to 1 USD that is 1. 00 USD exactly!

186 DOP a pound for Res Flapmeat Crio. At a exchange rate of 58 DOP to 1 USD that is 3. 21 USD.

25 DOP for pan baguette. At a exchange rate of 58 DOP to 1 USD that is. 43 USD.

At another store where I shop regularly:

320 DOP for 60 medium eggs.

360 DOP for 60 large eggs.

49 DOP for one Pina.

560 DOP for 20 lbs of rice.

120 DOP for 5 lbs of sugar.

380 DOP for 6 bags 454 gm each of three different varieties of beans.

Not observations. The numbers are taken right off of my sales receipt. And should represent just a few of things a someone shopping for a family of four might be buying. Someone had a question about that.

"Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts". -Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

Going into store in Republica Dominicana and shopping for yourself. It does not get more real life than that. That is unless you are of the opinion that only experiences inside the barrio (like being woke by roosters) count as real life experiences.

Anyone who wants to know what 1200 pesos can buy in a grocery store in the Dominican Republic can meet me in Santo Domingo este and I will take them shopping.


Come out from behind the your screen and and get off your keyboard. Satisfy your curiosity!

Hit me via PM and we can meet in Santo Domingo este and I will personally take you grocery shopping. National, Bravo, La Sirena, Ol, La Cadena, Carrefour, Aprecio. You know the names of all those grocery story chains? Right? You have been shopping in them? Right? My recommendation if you are going for the highest quality with the lowest prices: Bravo. But since you are the one who wants to know I will let you pick. It will not be a problem for me because I go grocery shopping in Santo Domingo este every week. NO FEAR! Surprises me that anyone would actually step to me and ask that question. Most of everyone posting up here on a regular basis are DR vets. Am I mistaken?My offer stands! But I have not received on single PM. If you are still asking then you not curious you are trolling. But what the fuck do I know? I only live here!

120 DOP for 5 lbs of sugar.

380 DOP for 6 bags 454 gm each of three different varieties of beans.Thanks for your details. I go to grocery stores when I am in Sosua if I am staying at a place where I can cook, but I buy very few eggs if ever, a bit of rice, beans. Never. Most of my expenses are for fruits and vegetables, the local ones, including okra, eggplant (most of the women cannot handle vegetables) and aguacate. The other part would be fish (from the fisherman these days) and goat meat. All of which are expensive. Indeed when I leave, I give away all left over including fish and meat to the women friends who happen to visit that day and they are rather pleased, but I digress.

The point you wanted to make is made. One can and many do, live life with rice, beans and egg. Thanks.

[SubCmdr]

When I talk to chicks and ask them what they had for dinner, it is usually along the lines of rice, beans, and eggs. Meat is never really mentioned. I think 1200 pesos could actually buy a large supply of rice, beans, and eggs.

320 DOP for 60 medium eggs.

360 DOP for 60 large eggs.

49 DOP for one Pina.

560 DOP for 20 lbs of rice.

120 DOP for 5 lbs of sugar.

380 DOP for 6 bags 454 gm each of three different varieties of beans.

Thanks.I was having trouble figuring out why someone who actually visits the Dominican Republic and who has shopped in the grocery stores here asked me the question about what can be bought with 1200 DOP when they could have just looked on the shelf at the prices of items that people usually buy. But you did help a brother out in understanding that. Thank you for sharing your grocery shopping habits.

Even though we have talked about understanding cultural sensitivities, I get it if you are not eating the way many Dominicans eat then you would not be shopping the way many Dominicans shop. Eat how you like! I was not trying to make a point. I was sharing information brother. The information I have from shopping here in Republica Dominicana every week. Trust that even when I am not posting, I eat, therefore I shop!

So you want to talk fruits and vegetables?

15 DOP lb Guineo Maduro (bananas).

77 DOP lb limon amarillo (yellow lemons).

87 DOP lb Mandarinas (Clementines).

35 DOP lb Papas Selecta (potatos).

29 DOP each Platano verde (that is expensive actually).

64 DOP Aji gustoso (package).

24 DOP Cilantrico (bunch).

19 DOP Cilantro Ancho (bunch).

28.6 DOP Lechuga Repollada (Head of iceberg lettuce).

112 DOP lb Pork Loin.

139 DOP lb Carne Molida (ground beef).

Not included when I speak of grocery shopping:

209 DOP 10 lb Detrgente (soap powder for washing clothes).

159 DOP 128 oz Suavizante (Fabric Softener).

Entertainment

50 DOP 12 oz lata (can) Presidente (regular not lite).

65 DOP 16 oz lata (can) Coors Lite (getting rather popular here).

Brugal Extra Viejo 1750 ML 990 DOP Ron Depot.

Grocery shopping is about as personal as it gets. Five years ago in my user blog section I told a story of taking a chica shopping at my favorite store to buy bulk supplies. I let her put whatever she wanted into the basket. She spent a little over 5000 DOP (1200 DOP a week is 4800 DOP a month). I asked her how long she thought the groceries she bought would last for her two boys and sister that lived with her. She told me at least a month. She was most pleased, but like you Tempoecorto, I digress.

When someone calls me out posting up some weak shit, I reject it. My thought is no direct response. Approach me with respect and we can have a conversation.

Do you know I still have not received any PMs taking me up on my offer to go grocery shopping? LOL!

Santo Domingo Este is the Capital of the Province of Santo Domingo. The municipality had a population of 891,952 as of 2010.

[Tempoecorto]

I was having trouble figuring out why someone who actually visits the Dominican Republic and who has shopped in the grocery stores here asked me the question about what can be bought with 1200 DOP.In Sosua, there are two big grocery stores and I would go there for things like, beer (corona. Girls apparently like it more) or wine or pasta, yogurt. Stuff like that. I buy fruits (bananas, 5 pesos each, a lot of mangoes. Typically 25 pesos, the large ones and pineapples) and vegetables from smaller grocery stores where I think the stuff is fresher. I cannot find goat in Sosua and so the gentleman who drives me to Sosua from Santiago (Uber) buys it for me (about 200 pesos a pound I think) and for fish, I go to a place in Charamicos, where the boats come in. As you observed, my eating habits are different and so I was truly curious about what one can do with 1200 pesos. If I ask a question, it is never to prove anything. Local living experience sets you apart and I do get that, so again, thank you.

I also wanted to thank Mr. Enternational for his input as I was absolutely not aware of the eating practices of the locals. I saw them eating fried chicken and fried plantains or meat that I buy for them, with rice and beans.

[SubCmdr]

You respect the value of my local experience. Most posting up in here don't. When I first joined ISG BBQRibs hit me up via PM and invited me to his Super Bowl party. I of course looked at his posting history and noticed that he was very active and then slowed dramatically. I asked why he stopped posting. And he gave me his answer. I did not understand then but I do now. Because I am at that point now. When I get there I run silent and deep until I choose to surface again. And then when I do there always someone stepping to me posting up some weak shit. Then getting butt hurt when I put them in check. It's like a broken record. Same cast of character posting up the same stuff about the same issues.

Are we not men up in here sharing information on having sex with girls? Yes we are, and that is the purpose of the forum. Yet, somebody chose to make a sarcastic comment about what the value of 1200 DOP can buy (not you of course). That person (which I could call any number of names, but I will not) simply does not recognize that knowledge of local buying power gives insight. Because as you explained if we do not engage in experiences or read about different experiences of others we cannot learn. And to learn is why I read the forum.

Speaking not only of different eating habits, food preparations methods can provide different experiences too. I moved into a place where I could have a grill (now that's a fire). I be burning some meat now. Low and slow cooking smoking like you are hanging out with Snoop Dog gives all meat a new and different flavor than I have experienced during my entire time of living here. The girls are impressed and many have told me they have not tasted any meat like the the smoked meat I have prepared for them this good (even my dick).

I also grill steak on the stove top (something many have not seen done). I import my cast iron from the country of origin. Heat that bad boy up till it is the oil is smoking and toss my steak in there to sear it. I perform in the kitchen and the bedroom. Something many Dominican Men fail to do. So, while others cannot see the value in culinary skill and enjoyment of different foods with chicas. You and I can. And I am glad we were able to have this conversation.

[BoricuaOnline]

Tempoecorto,

I of course looked at his posting history and noticed that he was very active and then slowed dramatically. I asked why he stopped posting. And he gave me his answer. I did not understand then but I do now..So do I. I read with interest your reports and get valuable and updated information.

Bqribs is a guy I have met in person several times. He knows I am a troll but in a good way, never with the intention to offend anybody. I made fun of his tradition of bringing balloons and ham and cheese sandwiches to the girls and it was fun for both I get intel from him via pm's because he lives there like you do. It is the most valuable info.

Although I believe that most times I write it correctly, English is not my main language. I have noticed that sometimes I write and later found that my wording was not correct and that my messages could be interpreted in the incorrect way. I usually write informally like if I am talking to a group of friends. I apologize if something written by me sounds offensive.

For my next trip I keep reading from different sources, I am concerned about Covid although as of today I believe it better controlled in DR than in my country.

Paz!

[Tempoecorto]

That person (which I could call any number of names, but I will not) simply does not recognize that knowledge of local buying power gives insight.

Speaking not only of different eating habits, food preparations methods can provide different experiences too.
In others' defense, if people have not traveled much or have only been to a handful of places outside their country, it is very hard to figure out things about other currencies, let alone, how it translates to a different living experience. These are the people who then negotiate with women in say, USD or Euro. People who live away or have traveled, understand that while in Rome, you do as the Romans.

Last trip, I had cooked meat, in a ginger sauce and a girl visited me and she probably had not had any breakfast. After about 15 minutes, she was like " what are you cooking, I feel hungry". She cleaned up her plate during lunch, rice, meat and avocado slices with olive oil and vinegar dressing. Yes, I agree that women may actually have a more positive (rather than the usual transactional "how much") experience that then gets extended to a better experience overall.

[SubCmdr]

I cannot find goat in Sosua and so the gentleman who drives me to Sosua from Santiago (Uber) buys it for me (about 200 pesos a pound I think).Now I am curious. You said goat is expensive. Is that 200 DOP / pound the net price or with transportation included? Nice to only have to think about what something costs my man. I have to pay attention to every DOP I spend. I guess that might be a difference between visitors and those who live here. Or those like you that are true ballers and those like me who are "ballin on a budget". LOL!

It should be noted that Ribeye local is 196 DOP / pound (3.80 USD / pound at a 58 to 1 exchange rate). I consider that inexpensive. Ribeye imported from my country of origin is twice the price. I have yet to try the imported Ribeye as I have found the locally produced meat to be adequate for my food preparation needs. Then again I live here and do not have me nose in the air or expect for the Dominican Republic to be like my country of origin. In fact I moved here hoping to get away from the worst tendencies of my country of origin. And I have. But living here in the Dominican Republic has its own unique challenges.

[Tempoecorto]

Now I am curious. You said goat is expensive. Is that 200 DOP / pound the net price or with transportation included? Several years back, I had a conversation with a women from La Vega, who told me that chicken / pork were the cheapest at about 100/115 pesos, beef higher at 150 pesos and goat is the highest at 175 pesos a pound. Prices will have gone up since then. So my definition of price point is clearly subjective, quoting her perspective.

The beauty for me is that the goat es fresh -one can go to the butcher who has a street side stall where you can see the carcass and get what you want. The guy buys the meat for me in Santiago, the day I get there. I pay him when I see him.

I have no idea about rib eye etc as I do not buy steaks in Sosua and also they are normally tagged in Spanish as Res (as against rib eye etc). Having said that if the animal is free ranging, then the price point in the DR is way better compared to hormone and antibiotic addled meat in the US.

BTW, I am a frugal man too, but as a food aficionado, I spend more on it and the women enjoy that bit of different food and ambiance, at my place or restaurant. I also fly several times a year and non stops flights costs a lot more, even for a week's stay. On the other hand, my drinking is very limited and I certainly do not pay the women like some do. Indeed, I never discuss money.

These exchanges were good as I learned some new information. Thanks.

Several years back, I had a conversation with a women from La Vega, who told me that chicken / pork were the cheapest at about 100/115 pesos, beef higher at 150 pesos and goat is the highest at 175 pesos a pound. Prices will have gone up since then. So my definition of price point is clearly subjective, quoting her perspective.

The beauty for me is that the goat es fresh -one can go to the butcher who has a street side stall where you can see the carcass and get what you want. The guy buys the meat for me in Santiago, the day I get there. I pay him when I see him.

I have no idea about rib eye etc as I do not buy steaks in Sosua and also they are normally tagged in Spanish as Res (as against rib eye etc). Having said that if the animal is free ranging, then the price point in the DR is way better compared to hormone and antibiotic addled meat in the US.

BTW, I am a frugal man too, but as a food aficionado, I spend more on it and the women enjoy that bit of different food and ambiance, at my place or restaurant. I also fly several times a year and non stops flights costs a lot more, even for a week's stay. On the other hand, my drinking is very limited and I certainly do not pay the women like some do. Indeed, I never discuss money.

These exchanges were good as I learned some new information. Thanks.This was a roadside goat meat stall. They were killing the goats on site outside of Higuey.

Having said that if the animal is free ranging, then the price point in the DR is way better compared to hormone and antibiotic addled meat in the US.The price may be cheaper but you will end up chewing all the teeth out of your mouth fucking around with some DR beef. US shit may have hormones but it is definitely better quality. That is why you can walk into a restaurant and the US stuff is touted, not the DR stuff. If the beef is not USDA, Argentine, or Japanese (Australian if I have no choice) then I will have the chicken please.

Quality is obviously defined differently by different individuals. And price is not everything. But off-islanders with their off-island attitudes often do not see the advantage of local production (not referencing you Tempoecorto).

I spoke to a owner who is Dominican and owns a restaurant here. He received his formal training in the United States of America. He explained the food is healthier and of higher quality because of production methods and that the supply chain is shorter. He can have meat on the grill that was not frozen then transported via plane or ship from another country. No problem chewing the beef in his restaurant and it was not imported. Thank you very much!

But what the fuck to I know? I just live here!

[SubCmdr]

There is a reason why people complain about off islanders that be fucking up the program. You know that entire issue about paying too much for pussy. Who can write "price isn't everything" as a headline and then be taken seriously when they are critical of what others spend to fuck? LOL!

But that makes the point I have been making here for a long time. Everyone values what they choose to value and spend their money how they choose to spend it! Oh, shit! What a concept! There is a difference between price, value and quality. And higher price does not mean higher quality.

Example:

King's Label Whisky 12 YO (Black Label) can be purchased for 550 DOP /700 ML bottle. I've served it to over half a dozen Dominicans who have never had it before and they all said it is better than some of their favorite mixed Scotches. Their favorites often cost 1500 - 2300 for a bottle. And when I tell them how much I paid for my bottle they are amazed. How about that? But King's Label has no prestige attached to it. Because it is aged and bottled here in Republica Dominicana. But the juice originates elsewhere. Actually it originates where only Scotch is made. Because it is Scotch mixed with other whiskies and then aged and bottled. But no one notices like when you are sipping out the bottle of Johnnie Walker Black. Personally, my thought is: "Who gives a fuck what others think?" I just saved enough to go fuck a prostitute and still be drinking well. LOL! Now can I tell the difference between King's Label 12 YO and say for example a Dewer's 12 YO at 1500 DOP /750 ML. Damn straight I can. Because I make it a point to know what I am tasting and drinking. But can I say that Dewer's 12 YO is worth three times the amount that King's Label 12 YO is worth. Oh hell the fuck no! Do I have both on the shelf of the bar I had custom made in my home. I sure do. But that is because I was able to get the Dewer's 12 YO for 1190 DOP. Got to watch every peso I spend. Cause I'm balling on budget.

Not discussing money when it comes to girls is a good policy. But in my opinion, it leaves out some important information when it comes to sharing information on having sex with girls in the pay for play arena and it makes it more difficult to compare that with other forms play. I do not have the hard definitions like some do that a girl is a prostitute if she takes money after sex no matter what. It is really a matter of if they are professionals or not. Did they ask you for money up front or are they accepting a gift that you are offering them. Did they negotiate the price and services up front or did the encounter just happen and you left her something. Yes, we are now into a very different subject that has been discussed many times. But grown men are allowed to differ. And this is my post. I post what I want (or at least every other post that the moderator lets through).

Now explain to me why price is not important when you buy a waterproof smartphone or beef, but suddenly becomes a issue when it is time for another man to pay for pussy? Things that make you think (or at least some of us).

But what the fuck to I know. I just live here!

The price may be cheaper but you will end up chewing all the teeth out of your mouth fucking around with some DR beef. US shit may have hormones but it is definitely better quality. That is why you can walk into a restaurant and the US stuff is touted, not the DR stuff. If the beef is not USDA, Argentine, or Japanese (Australian if I have no choice) then I will have the chicken please.


The meat in DR is excellent and it looks delicious e g. at Jose Luis supermarket in Puerto Plata and at a lesser extent but still good at La Sirena and at Playero in Sosua. The problem of the hard meat is because it is immediately processed and packed after slaughtering. The dead animal parts should hang at least for 2 days and after that being processed. What to do to make the meat tender? At my time in DR I had that small fridges with a small compartment as freezer at the top inside. Under this a trays was installed. There was enough space to put the steaks and meat cuts. The temperature was slightly above 0 degrees celcius, so it was not frozing and the meat was kept fresh. After 2-3 days the meat was ready for preparation and the meat was tender and very tasteful. The meat get spoilt when stored in the fridge at normal temperature.

[Tempoecorto]

This was a roadside goat meat stall. They were killing the goats on site outside of Higuey.Thanks for the photos. In Santiago, you have exactly the same stuff. No freezing of meat or shipping.

[Tempoecorto]

That is why you can walk into a restaurant and the US stuff is touted, not the DR stuff. If the beef is not USDA, Argentine, or Japanese (Australian if I have no choice) then I will have the chicken please.Nice pictures. Where is this, I mean, anywhere close to Santiago / Puerto Plata? It looks mouthwatering even though the steak for me is a little too charred.

I understand your point but for me, hormones do not make it better quality and chew-ability is not a prime factor. The taste of meat is more important. I have bought "res" in Playero, Sosua and stewed meat was really soft and tasty. I also had grilled meat (a potpourri of pork, chicken, sausage and beef) at the Italian restaurants and I imagine it was local meat and it tasted scrumptious. The point is: given a choice between free ranging animal meat and animals that are corralled, so that to disable their movement, to make the meat tender, I know what is my choice.

You have good taste in meat. I certainly think highly of chateaubriand in France and bistecca fiorentina in Italy but I know nothing of Argentine meat (never having been there) and while I certainly enjoy Matsuzaka, at $100 a steak and rice, it is not something I did on a regular basis and always on expense account.

[Tempoecorto]

I spoke to a owner who is Dominican and owns a restaurant here. He received his formal training in the United States of America. He explained the food is healthier and of higher quality because of production methods and that the supply chain is shorter.That is a very valid point. The length of the supply chain is a critical matter and of course meat can be flown but it would not make sense but for premium products. The taste of food, is certainly a factor of what has been fed and the length of time between production and consumption.

I also like vegetables a lot and in the DR, local fruits and vegetables are a major attraction for me.

[Tempoecorto]

Not discussing money when it comes to girls is a good policy. I am not sure if it is a good policy but it certainly is feasible if you are not picking women off the street and of course, you have to be able to know the market in peso and the ability to have a conversation with the locals. It certainly would not work for me if I were to fly to Bangkok, where women in Patpong speak funky English and I speak no Thai. On the other hand, if you deal with regular girls, your overall satisfaction is much higher. Whether it is sexo or their cleaning the apartment or cooking for you.

[Purple Porkchop]

Or is When in Rome, do as the Romans.

I'm always good for eating local.

Be in Sosua 12/5 - 12/11.

I am specifically asking this to seasoned DR veterans like SubCmdr and Mr Enternational, but anyone should feel free to respond. When hanging out in locations where there are not a lot of tourists, how do you find local chicas? For example, I find the young women in Ramon Santana to be particularly sexy, lots of mixed blood faces, thin, long hair. I am an older gentleman in his 60's, but I by no means have let myself go (I run marathons, have a full head of hair, never smoke and I am quite conservative with my drinking). I am pretty good at attracting young chicas to my hotel room whom I meet on the internet, but I want to learn how to find girls in these out of the way places. Oh yeh- I speak Spanish nearly fluently.

I used to employ a driver in the DR, and the drivers would chat the girls up and tell them how wonderful I am. I would shyly introduce myself and ask for a massage. When they said yes (most of the time), the rest worked out on its own. But I have given up on drivers for a variety of reasons. I would love to hear how you guys go about attracting non pros outside the major cities and tourist areas. Are there any small towns / cities that you like the most?

[SubCmdr]

I'm always good for eating local.Some say the domestic steak is tough. Never had that particular problem with the steak here. But then again my teeth are fine and it is rare that you find me dining in a restaurant so I control the quality and preparation of my steak.

Pussy de Dominican is good. Widely available. And reasonably priced. It is pink and juicy. Use lots of napkins!

But what the fuck do I know? I just live here.

[Mr Enternational]

I would love to hear how you guys go about attracting non pros outside the major cities and tourist areas. Attract them for what purpose? Why would you find it any different introducing yourself without the driver as you did with the driver? If you speak Spanish what is the purpose of a middle man?

You meet chicks there the same as you would anywhere; introducing yourself and having general conversation. I certainly would not be approaching any strangers asking them for a massage. That is fucking creepy.

I am pretty good at attracting young chicas to my hotel room whom I meet on the internet, but I want to learn how to find girls in these out of the way places. Oh yeh- I speak Spanish nearly fluently.The Urban Dictionary defines game:

game

"It's confidently using your attributes, characteristics, and overall personality to win the affection of the woman you want. You can't have game*if you don't know yourself; you can't be confident in what you're ignorant of.

Game is playing the cards you're dealt and winning; turning your positives into swagger (not 'swag') and your negatives into charm.

Symps would have you believe that 'game' means blindly acquiescing to a woman's whims and going along to get along with an ulterior motives in mind (usually sex). Those are just cons and fakes who prey on insecure, attention working girls because they believe a quality woman would never appreciate the man he REALLY is. They lack game, so if they assume this about themselves, they are ultimately right.

Sometimes the cards in your deck are insufficient, you didn't exude the right amount of confidence, or maybe you were TOO confident and it came off as arrogance. When that happens, you just change the game, learn from it, and keep it moving.

An expert of game can pull any woman he wants, but that doesn't mean he can pull every woman. See, a person with game can read a woman before even talking to her; he knows if the woman he's scoping would dig his rap or not and an expert of game doesn't want a woman that wouldn't want him, so his success rate is much higher. When you've gotten to this level, you're a mack."

If you can speak Spanish. And you can talk to a girl. Then you can talk to a girl in Spanish and talk her out of her panties. That is game. Do you have it or not? That is entirely different issue.

I am making no claims of being a PUA (Pick up artist). No matter if you are in shape or not. No matter if you are young or old. The key is having the attitude of abundance. And going to the places where you can be social and talk to girls.

You know sometimes you are talking to girls and they just do not feel you. I was talking to a girl in the food court of Mega Centro and she gave me her number. I contacted her later to go out and she declined. She told me that she just did not feel me. And I kind of sensed that when I was talking to her. So I was surprised she gave me her number. But she did tell me she had someone for me that she knew that might be interested in me and would give me her number and talk to her for me. I did not even follow up on that because I got the sense that the referral was really looking for a boyfriend and I was just trying to fuck. That is the part about "changing the game" and "keeping it moving".

Every pueblo has a gathering spot. That is the spot you need to be at. Where is that? Honestly I do not know. Every time I have found myself in a small town away from the big city I have relied on the host of the location where I am staying to direct me to where the social activities are.

Looking for straight pay 2 play is much more difficult. If you do not have a individual of confidence to ask directly you will be taking you chances until you find that girl or other individual that has the contacts. Trust me! In every location their are girls slanging that thing. Sometimes it is simply good enough to find the putas and you don't even need the find the prostitutas.

So, in the small towns it is not a straight line to finding the action. But it is there. It is just slower. Lower key. And there may be a need to be more discreet than the big city. You also may have to open up your options of who you are willing to fuck.

I have no recommendations for locations of different towns. The best one is the one you find yourself in. Fuck the pussy that is available to you. Remember the online apps also work in small towns (they have internet too) so that remains a option. Just talking to a girl and finding out a good place to meet to have a drink will give you insights into the place you are in and where the social gathering spots are.

Solid, usable, intelligence from someone who has "boots on the ground" without the smart ass commentary and opinions of others. I've really noticed something during my time of posting. Smart ass responses make you look anything but and pretty much confirm that you are a ass.

Spanish lessons anyone? Or how about we talk about Colombia? But what the fuck do I know? I just live here.

[Triple Darknes]

I'm planning to venture out to some of the beach towns on the south Coast. Not just Boca, I'm going to San Christobal, Juan Dolio etc. The purpose is mainly day trips on the weekdays trying to aviod crowds. That being said I wouldn't be opposed to mongering. Other than Boca does any towns on the south coast have a mongering scene? Sosua and Boca are the only places where you can pick up on the beach. Obviously the Santo Domingo and Puerta Plata Malecon's have pick up scenes, but I wonder about the other towns. I've met so many chicks from San Chirstobal that I wonder if they all just go to El Conde to pick up mongers.

Any advice would be helpful.

Trip.

[Cm6363]

Action is more low key and one club where most working girls hang. La Bodega. Rent a quad. Go to Playa Bonita which definitely deserves the name. You can eat French food from former chef to a former French prime minister or pizza and local fare. A bit further is Coson. Go to "donde luis" right on the beach with the freshest fish you ever had. Have to enter on a dirt road so quad is best. Many hotels can book a day trip to salto de limon which is very nice. The mule ride out to it can be scary but the salto is worth it. Another trip that is cool is laguna gri gri.

As far as the town goes for normal bars and eats, I like one love surf shack for Canadian breakfast and bar eats. Mojitos has great mojitos and a killer view with good cheap eats. Upscale I like tres caravelles. Maybe the best pizza I have had in DR was at la vita e bella.Good insight Prtyr2. Thank you. Any updates?

(Visiting friends in Las Terrenas in a few days, but planning on taking my own place.) My attached friend tells me there are a lot of westerners with beautiful Dominicanas. Are they from the town or are these gents bringing amigas from elsewhere? Is Tinder or some other app useful in the area?

[SubCmdr]

Well I am certainly glad some of you have have finally discovered Barahona. I have to agree. It is one of my favorite places and has been for years. It is good not to be afraid to travel. And remember gentlemen, the search function is a terrible thing to waste.

One of the things that I noticed is that those from the USA seem to be sleeping on Barahona. Visitors from other countries run deep there. It is good to hear that the party is still going there. It has been a minute since visiting because of other projects in real life and that drive is not any fun at all. Worth every minute though after you get there. Playa San Rafael is one the best deals for beach trips in the Dominican Republic after accounting for the view, quality and pricing for food.

Posted in 06/08/2016:


After I arrive, she has six plantains from the country for me. I've seen plantains sold on the street ranging from five pesos with a price ranging all the way up to 16 pesos in the store. The plantains she gave me are of excellent quality. They were similar to ones I that I purchased on the side of the highway when I returned from Barahona. (Yes, I said Barahona. It's further than two blocks from my house. No, I can't explain it. I guess you just have to ask Mr. GoGo. He made the statement). I can use two to prepare mangu for me. Mangu is one of my favorite Dominican dishes. Add some meat and a vegetable and you have a rather inexpensive meal now don't you?

[SubCmdr]

One of the things that I noticed is that those from the USA seem to be sleeping on Barahona. Visitors from other countries run deep there. If people are rolling thru they certainly are not posting about it. Or at least posting any details. These are mine:

Hotel Caribe - excellent value. Right in the middle of the action and walking distance to everything in the central part of the town. I pipeline my girls from the area on the dating sites or bring them with me. There is not "active" mongering scene like Sosua or Boca Chica. It's just cold approaches in bars, clubs, restaurants and the malecon. Nice thing is most places have open air seating. Like a friend or two, I am not a big club man but do like a patio style bar. It is not overrun by western tourists acting like idiots. The extranjeros rolling through tend to be on a higher level. And in the know.

Last couple items of note of note. If you are a coffee drinker or know someone who is the coffee in the yellow package with brown lettering at the supermarket is top notch in the area and not easily found in other parts of the island. There are also some independent brands I have never seen in any other parts of the island. There are also a lot of other great beaches but they are bit of a ride. Worth every minute in my opinion. Playa San Rafael is one of my favorites!

Another road less taken spot: Bani gots some hot chicas! And some good restaurants serving up the bird. Along with mangos that are not attached. Enjoy gentlemen. What you know about rolling down in the deep?

[Sawassdee]

Gents, I just returned from a few days in Juan Dolio and a few days in Boca Chica. I stayed at an airbnb directly on a private beach in Juan Dolio. The private beach was less than 6 people at any given time. However after traveling intown for basic sight seeing I need to report JD has some of the most beautiful chicks everywhere I looked. (Banks, Stores etc.).

(Non pros) This is the the place you could build a solid bench of beautiful girls. You can enjoy 1 on 1's at your private beach or ship them into Boca chica if you change locations. Boca Chica is only a few minutes away. Just giving you a heads up if you have a little time and decent game to pull non pros , It would be WELL WORTH IT.

*Great description of game by SubCmdr below.

Boca Chica is Boca Chica. It will stay on the map. However, Juan Dolio for its abundance of non pro hotties has officially been put on the radar.

Additionally, While at the beach in Boca Chica i hooked up with this beautiful Dominican chick visiting from New York there with here girlfriends for a wedding party. *She put me up on Barahona as well. Made it a point to stress its a must to go there.

[Edward Q]

Spent 3 nights in Las Terrenas at an Airbnb which was like a small hotel. About a block from the beach. The opportunity to bring girls back was there, however I found it difficult to find any companions. There were a few at La Bodega, which is a disco down at the bottom of the main road, on the beach. But they open at 9:00 PM, so timing was not great. There are many who lurk in the shadows around the disco, but you need to get real close to see what you were dealing with. And these were nearer to the beach, on the far eastern side of Pescadores beach, and at night it may feel sketchy. The girls appeared to be Haitian and are not very aggressive. And not very young. I did not linger to study the field. A quick glance told me that the pickings were slim. The whole town of Las Terrenas has changed since I was here 20 years ago. It does not appear to be a mongering town. If you stay there a while, you could probably find your community. I was not willing to put in the time, and the atmosphere is so different from Puerto Plata. The division between the luxury beach homes and the working class Dominicans and Haitians is so vast, I did not find any comfortable places for meeting local talent. Three days does not amount to much, beyond enjoying a few beaches and ogling rich girls who had just flown in from Italy or France. On the other hand, I knew what Sosua could offer on my first visit. Nothing hidden. So that's why I left Terrenas a day early and that's where I am now. It does not disappoint.

[Tomasb]

Thanks for the report. I was considering a trip Las Terrenas as well. First, I was going to arrive in Santo Domingo and spend some time there before traveling to Las Terrenas. However, I saw a you tube video of the town and did not like the vibe. It was much bigger than I expected and reminded me a bit of certain parts of Bali. I saw the nightclub you mentioned in the video too but from reading these pages and other sources, the town overall did not seem to have a lot to offer. Plus for me coming from the Western US, it would require a red eye flight and over 12 hours traveling if everything went well.

Instead I opted for Roatan Island and Honduras rain forest. I went to both Roatan and the neighboring island of Utila but did not expect a lot lot of mongering action, which is exactly what I am seeing. Last night, I took a stroll up the main drag at West End and noticed clusters of really fat black local girls in tight dresses. Like Yuck!

After turning back towards my hotel, I heard some gal behind me saying "hey baby, what's happening". I never turned around and ignored her because with that same kind of approach, I knew what to expect if I did allow a convo. So to a limited degree, there is some action, at least on weekends, but not the level of quality I would require.

[SubCmdr]

I just got back from Las Galeras. The beaches there are the absolute best I have seen in the Dominican Republic. The pueblo is walkable and has everything you need. You can get yourself a good hotel within walking distance of everything including the beach.

The beach experience was like nothing I had experienced in the Dominican Republic before. First there was no noise. You could actually hear the roar of the ocean without distraction. There were no hawkers of various items roaming the beach. The ice cream man rang a bell when he was in the area. There was a massage station, but the massage lady waited at her station until a client approached her. There was food available. And it was reasonablely priced and good. I would have coffee on the beach (sooooo decadent) for 50 DOP. I ate lunch for less than 500 DOP. My lounge chair under a permanent shade structure on the beach was 150 DOP for the day. You can get great dinner for 500 DOP in any of the restaurants available (as long as you are not ordering seafood).

Beach eye candy with strange looking girls that were melatonin challenged but had great bodies that were bikini ready. The Dominicans that were on the beach were of a higher social economic standing than lets say I found on other beaches in the Dominican Republic. And so many beaches to choose from. I only went to two of the six or seven beaches available. Mostly because I enjoyed the first one I went to so much. I decided I did not want to waste my time exploring too many others this trip.

An excellent hotel within walking distance of everything can be had starting at 35 USD. The situations I found were that if the business was priced in USD it was better to pay in USD because they would rape you on the exchange rate to DOP. That was an unusual situation for me, but the owners of many of the business are not Dominicans and they want hard currency. Smart on their part.

I cannot say for sure, but if you bring your A pick up game. You can get local action. And there are a wide variety of opportunities. But if you go there, and you don't have any game and your focus is solely on the chicas, you might just be disappointed. Besides you better come with another language (Spanish, French, German, Italian) or you may have communication problems with the chicas. Although, the servers in the restaurants would speak English to me to let me know they spoke it. Good opportunities there. And I some of those strange looking girls that were melatonin challenged walking around by themselves at night. Not a care in the world. That may say something about the safety of the place. There are many local places to hang out in and party. Just ask around. That is if you can speak the language (Spanish).

As for me, I just observed. Long day on the beach, dinner, having my world rocked by my non pro travel partner. And we never made out again in the evening. There are worst things that could happen to me.

But, because it is a tourist area, a lot of the locals speak English. But my recommendation to anyone who really wants to get out and see the Dominican Republic: learn Spanish. If you really want to expand your experience base beyond the sphere of the "puta pueblos" up your Spanish game. And unlock the key to the Dominican Republic.

As we say with the chicas, Las Galeras, I will repeat.

This was another "Boots on the Ground" report from SubCmdr!

[Tacoma101]

Onward I went with my tour of the DR. 6 nights in Las Terrenas. Here's what I liked and what I didn't.

Good stuff.

*They actually have pretty decent sidewalks! Thats a huge pro for anyone that gets around on foot.

*Food is awesome. Plenty of good restaurants.

*Playa Bonita is super gorgeous.

*Had one chill chica from FB come over and spend the night. 4 rounds, 3 pops and no talk of money. Still took good care of her. I had been chatting with her for a few weeks.

*Any chica working in a restaurant or bar is super easy to talk to and get their number.

*Tons of gringos here. Easy to make new friends. Dos Gringos bar is a good spot to do that and watch some football.

Lame stuff.

*Everything is double the price. Quoted 800 DOP for a basic haircut. Moto taxis 100 P. Lame.

*Street girls (rough) started their prices at $150 and then went down to $100 quickly. All of them were super needy (food, smokes, beer). Tinder mom quoted me $200. I was like GTFO. I didn't partake in any of them but wondered if any of them would be good for a quick BJ on the beach where it can be very secluded at night. Someone needs to find out and report back haha.

*Nightlife is super dead and only slightly less dead on the weekends. Best clubs were La Bodega (a handful of girls inside and out). Too dark inside to see what the quality was without getting close. Babylon also had a few girls. Ones I chatted with were rough. Good crowd by the main beach to the right of the cemetery, on Sundays.

I used the Asotrapusa bus to get into and out of Las Terrenas. A bit of a long haul but I refuse to drive in this country. Bus goes from Puerto Plata to Las Terrenas once per day with stops. PM me if you need the schedule.

If I ever go back, it would be during the peak months and I would bring in two young chicas and chill on Playa Bonita and rent a 4 wheeler for no more than 4 days. No other way I would do it.

Taco.

[PilotPete]

How did you get there? From what airport? Then bus or private ride? It sounds idyllic. Thanks for report.

[SubCmdr]

How did you get there? From what airport? Then bus or private ride? It sounds idyllic. Thanks for report.Thank you for the shout out PilotPete! I live here. Gots my own transportation. But the airport code is: AZS then private transportation or bus ride to Las Galeras. It is indeed idyllic! At least for me.

[Kokoss1]

Hi nice report so I am curious to know how you travelled to this spot as in with which carrier, hotel, was this a plan plus hotel combo, and is town walking distance?

I'm in Canada.

Is thsi chica friendly area hotels?

Thanks mate.


I just got back from Las Galeras. The beaches there are the absolute best I have seen in the Dominican Republic. The pueblo is walkable and has everything you need. You can get yourself a good hotel within walking distance of everything including the beach.

The beach experience was like nothing I had experienced in the Dominican Republic before. First there was no noise. You could actually hear the roar of the ocean without distraction. There were no hawkers of various items roaming the beach. The ice cream man rang a bell when he was in the area. There was a massage station, but the massage lady waited at her station until a client approached her. There was food available. And it was reasonablely priced and good. I would have coffee on the beach (sooooo decadent) for 50 DOP. I ate lunch for less than 500 DOP. My lounge chair under a permanent shade structure on the beach was 150 DOP for the day. You can get great dinner for 500 DOP in any of the restaurants available (as long as you are not ordering seafood).

Beach eye candy with strange looking girls that were melatonin challenged but had great bodies that were bikini ready. The Dominicans that were on the beach were of a higher social economic standing than lets say I found on other beaches in the Dominican Republic. And so many beaches to choose from. I only went to two of the six or seven beaches available. Mostly because I enjoyed the first one I went to so much. I decided I did not want to waste my time exploring too many others this trip.

An excellent hotel within walking distance of everything can be had starting at 35 USD. The situations I found were that if the business was priced in USD it was better to pay in USD because they would rape you on the exchange rate to DOP. That was an unusual situation for me, but the owners of many of the business are not Dominicans and they want hard currency. Smart on their part.

I cannot say for sure, but if you bring your A pick up game. You can get local action. And there are a wide variety of opportunities. But if you go there, and you don't have any game and your focus is solely on the chicas, you might just be disappointed. Besides you better come with another language (Spanish, French, German, Italian) or you may have communication problems with the chicas. Although, the servers in the restaurants would speak English to me to let me know they spoke it. Good opportunities there. And I some of those strange looking girls that were melatonin challenged walking around by themselves at night. Not a care in the world. That may say something about the safety of the place. There are many local places to hang out in and party. Just ask around. That is if you can speak the language (Spanish).

As for me, I just observed. Long day on the beach, dinner, having my world rocked by my non pro travel partner. And we never made out again in the evening. There are worst things that could happen to me.

But, because it is a tourist area, a lot of the locals speak English. But my recommendation to anyone who really wants to get out and see the Dominican Republic: learn Spanish. If you really want to expand your experience base beyond the sphere of the "puta pueblos" up your Spanish game. And unlock the key to the Dominican Republic.

As we say with the chicas, Las Galeras, I will repeat.

This was another "Boots on the Ground" report from SubCmdr!

Hi thanks can you help on place to stay and chica friendly.

Thanks mate.


Thank you for the shout out PilotPete! I live here. Gots my own transportation. But the airport code is: AZS then private transportation or bus ride to Las Galeras. It is indeed idyllic! At least for me.

Hi nice report so I am curious to know how you travelled to this spot as in with which carrier, hotel, was this a plan plus hotel combo, and is town walking distance?

I'm in Canada.

Is thsi chica friendly area hotels?

Thanks mate.Thanks you for the props. But much of the information you seek I have already outlined in my previous posts.

You can get yourself a good hotel within walking distance of everything including the beach.Now I thought I filed a pretty good trip report with plenty of details. Feel free to read it again.

I have already given the information on how I arrived. I am still the proud owner of the Gran Jefe Mobile and it is still transporting chicas wherever I wish to take them. No renting cars or riding the bus for me. No sir!

The hotel I stayed at was LE BDM PLAYTA. It can be found in google maps (you do have the internet in Canada right). I found this hotel with my travel partner. Neither she nor I were happy with our original accommodations and so we simply stopped at this place. She went in and looked at the rooms, cut us a deal and we were in. I trust her judgement. It really is nice to be able to place a level of trust in someone. But that has been built up over the years. I have no idea why individuals who are just visitors (I live here, Mr. E give me a dollar) think chicas should give their all just because you are passing thorough with a hard dick and some pesos?

Rant below

I've been told that there are much better places throughout the world where GFE is routinely given. All you have to do is review the user blogs and you will find many references to any number of places that are better than the Dominican Republic. It is curious to me. Why do so many continue to return to the Dominican Republic but they are not happy with the place. It is like going to a restaurant you don't like and being surprised that you are not enjoying your meal yet again. I suppose that I will just need to put my lazy ass in an airplane seat and go see some of these places for myself.

rant over

It is a great place fully within walking distance (two blocks) of the main drag where you will find many restaurants, colmado, bank, bars, coffee and many other basics. We lacked for nothing. You will find with this hotel you are about six blocks (very walkable) from my favorite beach Playa Playita. Playa Grande is a bit further away but walkable also.

Is the hotel, chica friendly? I don't know. As I checked in with my chica. But the best way to find that out is to ask the hotel about its guest policy before you make a reservation with the hotel. Most establishments these days have someone that can speak to you in English on the phone or correspond with you in WhatsApp.

I have taken my time to answer your questions. If you decide to travel to the Dominican Republic give back to the forum and file a trip report.

The vibe in San Pedro is chillll. I would go back, but the place would take some work. La Romanna gets a lot more tourists so women are a but more open minded.

5 night stay. First time visit.

Many businesses closed 12-2 pm in the day time.

Cell service sucks (and I have T-Mobil).

Zero hot chicas anywhere. Usually you see at least see some on bikes getting hauled around to do work with gringos. Nope.

Bumble and tinder had some action but none of the chicas were close by and the few that were, were gutter.

The uber drivers want to haggle over every trip accepted. Its a pain in the ass. Indriver didn't work.

Sunday street on Sunday was the highlight. Soooo many beautiful girls out. Definitely need a wingman.

People will actually talk to you here. I was surprised. Easily the friendliest city I've been to in the DR.

Best to stay close to the Carnaval museum for food options. Unless street food is your thing.

Legendary deluxe by "parque estudiante" (Thursday-Saturday) and Ziette were the two best clubs with the best eye candy.

Main streets are well lit.

Never felt unsafe.

Truly a Thursday-Sunday city. Maybe even Friday-Sunday. VERY VERY dead on other nights.

Outside of Sunday night on the street, the best looking chicas were in the La vega bus station! I think the majority of them live outside the city. Like way outside. Chicas in Santiago werent excited to take a trip down to La Vega to earn some money so it was a VERY quiet trip for me. I wouldn't return unless it was Carnaval time and only for a 3 day weekend.

Taco.

Seems like going to Santiago would have been the best solution. It's only 30 minutes north, depending on traffic, right?
