You are always looking for angles that do not exist. Your perspective is yours alone. I am not an insecure person. I did not feel disrespected in the least. I handled the situation to my satisfaction. I think you have some serious mental issues. I have tried ignore you for the most part. You are one of the few people on the forum get in fights on consistent basis. I am 62 and have no shame in my game. I use every thing in the box to enjoy myself. I suggest you see a mental therapist cause you got issues.
Oh contrare my friend. 1st off, it aint about how much you could eat, it aint about whether or not you wanted to fuck the woman, and it certainly aint about you being threatened by the barracudas who stopped by. It's about you being disrespected 1st by the woman that you were sharing your food with. Your excellent judgement in character chose a barracuda who decided to disrespect you. The other 2 muggs were just two more to add to the disrespect.
In other words, they all took advantage of you. So what part did your excellent judge in character play in that scenario? The fact still remains that the only thing you could do was shoo the other women away. But you still allowed the woman you were with to stay there with you. Yeah, you handled it all right. Basically you didnt do jack but sit there and entertain the mugg that disrespected you. My role in this forum is offer suggestions for members that could use the information, not to fall into traps like this. And when a chica disrespects you, or uses you, that mugg needs to be dismissed. Dont just sit there like a chesire cat acting like nothing happened.
Yeah a select few think as you do. They are entitled. But the majority that I know and respect don't, and that's what counts.
However, enough of us see that you really arent player. And definitely no game. Leading with your wallet, using gifts, and other incentives in order to lure women? Thats being a player? Oh of course you bring an occasional vibrator to help assist you where you may fall short in the bedroom. Trust, there is no need for anyone to hate on those types of players.

Of course the massage is supposed to lead to sex, and eventually some dinero. But this is the mentality of some of these women. If that is the case, why even beat around the Bush with a woman you will have to pay? I would just say no massages; I want to fuck.
Not related, but years ago I had been talking to this chick in Peru online. She was from a different city than the one I always go to so whenever I was in town she was never in the capital. Finally she moved there and next time I went down we went out together.
First we went to an ice cream shop, then we went to see a movie (think it was the first GI Joe). When we came out of the movie and stood on the sidewalk I asked her what she wanted to do next. She said I do not know. What do you want to do? I said you want to go fuck? She said sure. And off we went to find a motel (I was staying at my girlfriend's condo.) Now this chick has been married, got cancer, and all kind of shit, but we have remained fuck buddies all these years. She just hit me up the other day matter of fact.
I used to give spare change to only two people, the guy on the strip that walks with a bad limp and can barely talk, you all know who I am referring to, he has been there forever and makes the rounds. I found out that he was offered ten thousand pesos a month to house sit for someone all expenses paid including transportation and he turned it down saying that he made more money begging on Pedro Clisante, one day my buddy refused to give him money and he called my buddy every four letter word in perfect english, so much for his speech impediment. The other person is the real old woman on playa Sosua, another one that I am sure everyone knows, she has been there forever and is the oldest looking person on the beach and hits up literally every single person from one end of the beach to the other. My waiter at my spot told me that she makes more money than anyone on the beach and lives in a huge house.I luv bananas, I eat one every morning before my first coffee and it settles my stomach, 10 years visiting DR and never has a chica excepted a banana from me when offered in the morning when I have one, or any other time. I find the same thing happens in Colombia. When I have asked all chicas have told me they don't like bananas, but I think it has more to do with they think only really poor people eat bananas, so they say they don't like them.

But since everyone talks about how poor the girls are, from your conclusion it seems they would be used to bananas. Not sure why they would think that. When I was with my ex in Higuey we went to her aunt's (who was retired and middle class) house in the mountains / country. We went out in the fields to gather mangos. When we got back her aunt showed us her storage area where there were plenty of freshly cut banana stalks. We took a bunch home and my girl made me mango banana daiquiris (with my guidance and supervision of course.).
If that is the case, why even beat around the Bush with a woman you will have to pay? I would just say no massages; I want to fuck.I wasnt beating around the Bush with her. I had no interest in fucking her or giving or getting a massage from her. But since she came at me begging to come over, I felt like engaging her in finding out what else she has to offer? As far as she is concerned, I'd rather get my house or clothes cleaned, a pedicure or manicure than fuck her. What I was getting across to her, was the problems of having no money is not my responsibility. If she wants to get paid, then make me an offer to do something that I want, not just what she is only willing to offer. And if she dont , cant or wont do it, then she is wasting her time.

I shared a plate of ribs and fries with a young lady at Rockies it was way more then I could eat and I enjoyed having company. I was not trying to fuck the young lady, She was someone I met casually.. I was not threatened by the chicas friends. I handled the situation with no issues. Ergo the difference between us . You see a evil conpiracy I see a simple encounter. Please do not speak for me. My reports are my words and experiences. The bad encounters are much more interesting for this forum so I report them. Exactly! Those bad encounters make for good stories and sometimes good memories. Like the big black girl I met in BC who went nasty on me when I didn't pay her enough (she initially said she didn't want money, because she was not a prostitute). I kind of knew that was coming, but it was a interesting experience. And I admit I like f*cking with people who think they can get one over on me. Though I am getting too old for that.
Still, mongers should be able to share their stories without worrying about pointless critiques from others. Bad experiences are what need to be shared. Not just for the humor aspect, but for us all to learn from. And I think you showed us how to handle these kind of situations. That's how you share with others, and that's how others can wise up.
Still the various forums are full of judgemental posters (not necessarily active mongers) who want to be the Monday morning quarterback, right down to telling what path they should have take to get to where they were going on foot. Someone on one of the Asian forums just dissed another's TR because he did not approve of the ethnicity of the girl that the monger chose.

Still, mongers should be able to share their stories without worrying about pointless critiques from others. .I admit OK shares good reports, offers good information, and great incentives for guys to come to the DR and Sosua. I believe you are relatively new to this forum, but the poster you are talking to is one of the biggest violators of pointlessly criticizing certain individuals who shared their trip reports in the past (before you came). He's calmed down a lot, because a couple of us would get in his ass about some of the things he shared. And so today we tend to avoid interacting. But you are relatively new to this particular forum, and don't know the history.
So you don't know he used to criticize me personally, and certain content, in my trip reports when I 1st started sharing my encounters, good bad and indifferent. Mr Enternational shared his stories likewise. The man didn't like some of Mr E's perspective. He said the man was a "legion" in his own mind. He keeps saying that I'm paranoid. See it was ok as long as the critiquing was going one way. But he has a problem when the critiquing comes back to bite him in the ass. So what is more important here?
Everyone's right to share their trip reports without pointless criticism, or is it about simply supporting one individual you happen to like? If its the principle you believe in, then you should support everyone's right, not just selectively addressing Mr Old Kool. And just because you never witnessed or was here seeing him critiquing others TRs, doesn't make him a victim now.

Yellow plantains are called "platanos maduros". They don't seem to eat sweet yellow dessert bananas as much. Watermelons (sandia) and cantaloupes are popular and the other fruits mentioned here. They use the word melons for honeydew melons, not for the red ones, which are sandia. They also seem to eat green Kiwi fruit in fruit salads more than Americans do. In the DR fruit salads are commonly served as breakfast.

Great story Bart. But since everyone talks about how poor the girls are, from your conclusion it seems they would be used to bananas. Apparently, like the present occupant of the Casa Bianca, you live in alternate reality. The people eating or not eating banana is rarely an indicator of the penury; Besides, they eat the green variety all the time. Just this morning, the Santiago girl who works for a cigar factory, confirmed that weekly she makes 3100 pesos, with incentive and she comes home at 1. 00 AM. That comp is for a 5 day week and some makes 4000 on a 6 days a week routine. Now here is a "lucky" woman, who has a real job making 600 pesos per day. I cannot imagine your concept of poverty, because perhaps you came with a silver spoon in your mouth and perhaps you only hobnob, again much like the present occupant of the Casa Blanca, with only the upper crust of the society.
When I have asked all chicas have told me they don't like bananas, but I think it has more to do with they think only really poor people eat bananas, so they say they don't like them.I agree on this, but Dominicans love mangú and tostones and they are made of platano verde a.k.a. Platano macho.

You should be able to find a nice apartment with pool for $50 per night or less within walking distance of Janet's supermarket and all the beach restaurants.

I cannot imagine your concept of poverty, because perhaps you came with a silver spoon in your mouth Don't shoot the deductor. Bart said the girls do not like bananas because their conception is that poor people eat bananas. Well everyone on this site rages on about how poor the girls are, so it would stand to reason that the girls eat bananas. Maybe they just do not want to eat them in front of Bart because they do not want to "seem" poor. Or either they are not as poor as everyone here lets on. Or it could possibly be that banana level poverty is below their own level of poverty.
Silver spoon? I was born in the projects. And everyone here that knows me is probably laughing at you saying that.
I was refering to yellow sweet bananas, not plantains. To add more intrigue to the banana story, I recall a RD chica who said she did not like the yellow ones, but she would cook up a plantain for an evening snack several times a week, she weighed an even 100 lbs and ate more per day than than me at 185. Also recall chicas saying they didn't eat them because they were fattening. When I ask chicas what is their favorite fruit numerous say apples and grapes. Mangoes hanging from the trees along the sidewalk and they want me to buy them $5 lb grapes from Chile, and $3 lb apples from donaldlandia. One chica who would ask me 6 times a day for sex, I am way too old for that amount but cud 2 and even 3 sometimes. I would buy her grapes, she would sit at the kitchen table and peel them. She walked around nude most of the time, sitting across from her at the table drinking a beer and watching her peel grapes in the nude always made me think life is really good here.

Don't shoot the deductor. Bart said the girls do not like bananas because their conception is that poor people eat bananas. No offense intended but you gave credence to someone's hypothesis. The fact is that the exotic is always more appealing, reason why the grapes and apples (and unhappily McDs) are popular in the DR. Bananas are (were) exotic in Europe and so it appeals to an European. Many years back, I went to NZ for the first time; kiwis were then getting popular in the northern hemisphere and so I brought home a bagful. Now my brother has a kiwi Bush in his backyard and he has to push his harvest on unwilling souls. Indeed I used to bring mangoes and Lychees back home from my trips to Asia, because they were exotic in the land of peaches and apricots not to speak of apples and grapes.
Of course, if you have doubts that girls (and people at large) in the DR are poor, try Japan instead of Brazil. When I used to visit Nagoya 17 years back, my Japanese colleague had to work hard to find a good match for a Gaijin. Even though the AIDS scare had something to do with it. Try your tricks there today. Even Korea by now, I am sure is going Japan's way. Let's hope for the sake of this board that poverty continues around the globe but please do not pooh pooh it, like the present Housing Secretary; more so, if you were born in the Projects.

In the end I have realized that I may not bee going back to the Dominican Republic (BlackBeards I am a compund guy) any more after seeing the quality of the Ladies and the city in general. Or if I go it will be for only a few days at best.
I can't wait to return to MDE and time to save the cash and try and book for the July 4 party for 2018.LOL. A convert! As I have always said, when you give yourself a chance to experience other places you may realize that what you thought was sugar was really shit.

Silver spoon? I was born in the projects. And everyone here that knows me is probably laughing at you saying that.I'm not laughing at it. Because it's not about where you are born. I was born in a US Naval Hospital. Didn't mean I was going to grow up to a Admiral and war hero. It's about what you say and how you act as an adult. And even more importantly it's about how you treat people.
GTF!
I lived in the Dominican Republic for three years (not just a bunch of short 5 -14 day visits over many years). And not only did I like it, I would return under the right conditions.
So instead of trying to shout the longest and loudest about your favorite place to buy pussy. Maybe you should just let everyone form their own opinions and let them do what they like, while you continue to do what you like. And the experience argument? Bogus! I don't need to take a bullet to realize that doing so can be bad for my health. Seems to me we are dealing with personal preferences and tastes. One man's bitter is another man's sweet.
When was a young man leaning the ways of a gentleman, I asked a wine critic that I personally knew: "How do you know what is a good wine? He told me: "The first thing is: Do you like how it tastes? Because if you don't, it doesn't matter what I or anyone else has to say when it comes to how good of a wine it is".
I've always followed his advice for wine and in life!

LOL. A convert! As I have always said, when you give yourself a chance to experience other places you may realize that what you thought was sugar was really shit.I'm not going to knock the guy's opinion, he likes what he likes. I just want to put his review in context. He only stays in BB when he comes to the DR and on his Colombian trip he stayed and mongered solely in the Mansion in Medellin -- a hotel compound with sort of the same setup as BB. So essentially he was making a comparison of the two COUNTRIES based on impressions from two adult "resorts"! It's kind of like, after going to the Tokyo Disneyland and then Disney World in Florida, proclaiming Orlando is a much better city than Tokyo!
(I searched his prior posts and nothing was said about Pedro Clisante or Santo Domingo, or Boca Chica. He said the red light district in downtown Medellin looked too dangerous for him to pull street hookers.).
As for your point that once someone has experienced other places beyond the DR / Sosua, that inevitably he will no longer prefer the DR. Well that did not happen to me. In the past 18 months I've been to, and mongered in, Bogota, Lima, Medellin, and Hong Kong. I kept an open mind and really try to appreciate Medellin but I was greatly underwhelmed. (I enjoyed Bogota and I liked the $9 pussy in Lima LOL.) I've been back to the DR twice after my Medellin trip. Now I still have not been to Brazil, Cuba, Thailand, Philippines, and Germany (the FKKs). However, these other places all present additional levels of difficulty and inconvenience to me. I know your contrarian stance is meant to deflate the absolute praise that some people have for Sosua. I'm not so naive to think that there exists a perfect pussy paradise. Nothing is perfect, but for now, DR will still be my destination of choice.

I am planning my first trip to the DR and I have joined tagged in order to meet some women and I have noticed this symbol is in a lot of their profile pictures can some tell me it means they are play for pay?
Trying something different this time. I am not planning to do any sport fucking. I have 2 ladies lined up for Sosua and SD. Wifing up in Sosua is by defintion stupid but that is what I am going to do. I enjoy Sousa for things other then the women. The chica for SD is the sister I have had on the roster for 6 years. I get hard when I think about her after 6 years. I have done horrible things to her but she hangs in with me. This is vain but I think she likes the sex as much as I do. I am hoping to squeeeze something new in but it will be a challenge.

Why would that mean they are P4P? Why could it not just be a place holder from the website for people that did not post their foto? By the way, the best way I find to use the site is with the meet me function.
I just booked my flight for my first trip to the DR. I have already joined Dominican Cupid and have a ton of numbers already. I plan on staying 3 nights in Santo Domingo and then taking the Caribe Tomsousa for a few nights and then back. I'm doing research but any tips or pointers you can give would be great.
If the girls from Cupid don't come through where is the guaranteed spot to monger in Santo Domingo for a gringo with limited Spanish. Safety and quality of girls is biggest concern.
On Cupid 1 girl wanted 9000 pesos for a night, told her she is crazy based on what I have read here.
You are making moves like a pro. I have never had a problem with a cupid girl, I usually bring girls from out of town. They are thrillled to be in the Capital and always show. Find a local girl and keep her number handy for back up. The hard core girls ask for cash and are best avoided. I prefer to bring a gift that is reasonable. The girls love perfume and cosmetics. I also giver them some cash when the leave for expences. This also quarantes they show up. I take the girls to Sambil mall eats and a movie this is always a winner. SD has brothels that average 100 bucks for short time, If you enjoy GFE the cupid girls are awesome. I will be in the DR today. I still hook up with cupid girls I have known 6 years.

Thank you, I have done some research so thanks to the board. I am veteran monger in the states and this will be my 2nd time international (cancun but did easy with PP). Now I have been planning on getting an air bnb in the colonial zona to stay but not sure if that is the right move or just play it super safe and get a hotel somewhere. I probably have gotten over 100+ numbers from whatsapp and am having steady conversations with 10-15 currently. I have weeded out some of the hustlers already and have some good ones who say they can't wait to meet in SD.
This trip I want to slay some pussy and also see what Dr has to offer. I have 8 days so should be enough time. I am thinking 2-3 days in SD and then hit Sousa for 2 then Cabarete for 2 and then back to SD before leaving all by caribe, is this easy to figure out? My cell I can use unlimited for a small daily fee which is huge and will make life easier. Is Maldeco as safe as the Colonial Zona, can you go in the water anywhere or a public pool around? I just don't want to get stuck indoors in the apartment if not out looking at things while there. I will probably see boca chica but bring a girl for a day. I can afford somewhere on higher end price but since I am in DR might as well pay Dr price's LOL.

Spent 5 days in the DR having a good time. 2 days in Sosua with 1 girl. Yes I brought sand to the beach. However I knew I was getting great GFE. Went with here to Cabereti and my favorite eating places. We moved to SD after 2 days and went to the malls and strolled El Conde. I bid good bye to the 1st girl. I had scheduled another chica who called and told me she could not show. I have always made a point of having a plan be when in SD. Plan showed up and did not disappoint, What I learned from this trip is that there are many way to enjoy our hobby.

Interesting post, having visited BKK, Cuba Rio, Lima, BOG, MDE, and Sosua, sosua wud near perfect if in addtion it had some of the soapies from BKK and some the casas like MDE with the young Colombiana diamonds from the barrios, but for now I will tuff it out in Sosua for a couple months.
The Santo Domingo chicas seem to start out on the high side, but remember, they are testing you to see if you'll bite. As I am sure you have noticed, there are plenty of fish in that sea.

Better stock up boys: The Ministry of Public Health has announced that soon prescriptions will be required to purchase sexual stimulants. Public Health Minister, Altagracia Guzmáand Marcelino justifies the need to restrict the sale given the present irrational use of sexual stimulants in combination with drugs and energy drinks that has lead to many deaths, especially of young men.
In the Dominican Republic sexual stimulants are sold without prescription.
For years, the Dominican Cardiology Society has warned of the significant increase in heart attacks in persons 14 to 30 years of age.
Andrés Martíand, president of the Dominican Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery said that members are seeing an increasing number of stroke victims the result of the consumption of cocaine and sexual stimulants.
José Miguel Gómez, a past president of the Dominican Sexology Society, said many years back they had requested the Ministry of Public Health take control of the sexual stimulant sales.
I know a lot of you guys speak Spanish but if you are a gringo like me you need some help in that area. "Dirty Spanish" (Caballero, 2011) is available on amazon for $10. I can't wait to use some of these phrases on the chicas when I am there in December. It seems to me the Latin chicks love it when you talk dirty to them.

Better stock up boys: The Ministry of Public Health has announced that soon prescriptions will be required to purchase sexual stimulants. Public Health Minister, Altagracia Guzmand Marcelino justifies the need to restrict the sale given the present irrational use of sexual stimulants in combination with drugs and energy drinks that has lead to many deaths, especially of young men.
In the Dominican Republic sexual stimulants are sold without prescription.
For years, the Dominican Cardiology Society has warned of the significant increase in heart attacks in persons 14 to 30 years of age.
Andrs Martand, president of the Dominican Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery said that members are seeing an increasing number of stroke victims the result of the consumption of cocaine and sexual stimulants.
Jos Miguel Gmez, a past president of the Dominican Sexology Society, said many years back they had requested the Ministry of Public Health take control of the sexual stimulant sales.They are right to do this, however inconvenient for mongers, but of course their motivation is not altruistic but to jack up prices and profits and make more work for the medical profession.
However, I imagine it will be at least ten years before it is generally enforced, judging by the requirement for moto-concho drivers to wear helmets.

I've never experienced as many girls asking for money over the net as with DR.
Makes me think an obscene amount of naive gringoes are Western Union tricks with no ass yet.
I have to disagree with you. I think the pinay's are a hell of a lot worse.

The pinays are world-class beggars online or onsite with every excuse imaginable. Not all of them, of course, but they are leaders in Scam School. Buyer beware. The Dominicans I've met are amateurs compared to the Filipinas.

This incident made my day. I have a moto-concho I have known since I have been living in Puerto Plata. Over time I've given him small assignments like running my dry cleaning and other errands. I started with small things and he has been consistent and proven he can be trusted. He has become my personal concierge so to speak.
I had a bunch of old clothes and shoes, they were either worn or too small. I used to use Goodwill back home but I am unaware of any organization like that here in Puerto Plata. I put everything in a giant garbage bag and gave it to him. Guess what this guy does? GUESS?
This dude goes to the barrio and gets about 4500 pesos for everything I gave him. He turns my garbage into almost $100.00 . When he told me I was like WTF?. And I couldn't stop smiling.
Dude is a hustler and I cannot knock is hustle!

You could take them there and give them away or sell them to them. I would stick with that motorbike guy though. He did a wonder with that one.

I think CP once mentioned there is a pulga there in Puerto Plata.It is huge. The clothes are piled high and very difficult to sort through. But if you have patience you can find real bargains. I would say much less than a third is used clothes. Most of it is end-lines and very slightly faulty new stuff.
It is a great place to pick up haitianas. Only open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
If you go, take minimum cash you need and carry it in an inside pocket as people are pressing up against you all the time (which can be a good thing too!
My next trip down there I may stay for the winter.
I'm looking for a place (not Sosua) that may turn into a permanent rear round residence.
I'd be interested to hear of the top 3 or so choice locations that ex pats, or long stay members would recommend for this Canadian!
Emphasis on daily living and maybe safety. The mongering comes naturally!

Any info appreciated!You cannot beat Puerto Plata. It is a real (small) city, not a Disnified brothel for tourists like Sosua. I have just changed apartments. I am now paying 8500 pesos per month (no extras apart from 600 to share the owner's internet) and am very happy, but I was just offered a one-bed place near the sea for 4000 pesos. I would have taken it just to save money if not already settled. Too small for me really but might suit you for winter only. Vastly more semi-pro-chicas in Pto Pta than Sosua but you need to live here to tap into them. I have just hooked up with a very sweet haitiana who was offended when I offered to "lend" her money (of course with no expectation or its return). She cooks for us in my new place and is embarrassed that she cannot contribute to the cost of ingredients. She says she will share costs when she gets a job, which will be never as she has no cedula or work permit. Very difficult to find "civilians" like that in Sosua, especially when I could (legally) be her great-grandfather!

Always there for the guys, as usual!
As I was saying, to a fellow monger. If I'm in Sosua (a monger's Paradise) because of the years I've been going there, all the extended family from La Union and Charamicos are working in Sosua and they all know when I'm in town!
Then they bring out the families to show off their new babies (in a normal world at 14 or 15, they and their mothers would be embarrassed, but they are all so fucking proud!) and look for a little help with milk, school, prescriptions, and the rest.
You know the routine.
After seeing these kids since they were five, living with them, even sleeping in the same bed, and are now mothers, it's hard to say no! That's why I hpoe to find somewwhere I can live, without the obligation to take care of them all.
I'll be on a limited budget, so I won't be Santa Clause any more and some of the the mongers here will not be accusing me of "spoiling" their market!
Thanks. Peace and love!
(I'm assumimg Princessa will not be impressed by a retired monger's budget, or my "incredible" personality, or "sexual prowess" .
Lokk forward to buying you a beer, or many beers, next month!
Peace and love!

Personal anecdote:
There is a saying: "If a Dominican woman doesn't have shoes don't buy her any. " This saying is obviously hyperbole but it makes a good point about spoiling and doing too much for Dominican women. I am sure the principle applies to all women and people in general for that matter.
I have enjoyed cooking for many years and it is one of the ways that I entertain female company. I find it very cathartic and relaxing. Most of the women I cook for fall into the semi-pro or non pro category and almost none of them have ever had a man cook for them before. Their faces light up when they see what I have done in the kitchen and I haven't received any complaints.
However, I see a problem with some of them. It appears as if some are becoming lazy and would rather see me cook than cook themselves. Some are getting so comfortable they are becoming lazy in a way they would not be with a Dominican man. It's almost like I have created mini monsters by cooking for them.
I do not lavish my chics with money and gifts but I can only imagine how spoiled and bratty some of these women become when others throw money and gifts at them. The bottom line is I have to find ways to show my chics I appreciate them without spoiling them rotten. And not buy them shoes when they don't have any.

I will e arriving in Santo Domingo next week. I need to get to Blackbeards as I have a reservation there. I can bus / taxi with no problem. But, is it worth it to rent a car? How's the driving around the DR? This will be my first trip. I speak Spanish and am a savvy and experienced traveller.
I also may plan to go to San Juan De Maguana for a day or 2 since I have a girl there who is pretty cute and wants me- she also said she has some hot friends for me to play with. Anyone know anything about this area?
Thoughts?
My plan is to stay somewhere (the night I arrive in Santo Domingo, then work my way up to Blackbeards the next day. I will spend 3 nights there, then I have Tuesday and Wednesday nights free with no plans or ideas other than maybe seeing what San Juan de Maguana is like be / see of that girl and her friends I can have.
My last night, I was thinking of a fancy night at a nice place in Santo Domingo, maybe the Embassy suites. My flight leaves a 10am on Friday.
Any ideas, suggestion, thoughts for a 1st timer to the Dominican Republic would be great.
One thing: clothes--in Colombia its jeans and nice t-shirts. Always.
In Suriname, its jeans, t-shirts and sandals with no socks. That's what all the locals wear there.
Curacao: shorts / tshirts no problem.
Trinidad is all pants, no shorts.
What about Dominican Republic: what is everyone wearing so they don't stick out too much (besides our gringo skin).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!My two cents.
Outside a tourist area (ie, as you start in SD) long pants and casual shirt / T shirt is fine. Shorts are more common in the touristy areas, pack them as well.
On driving. I would suggest as a first timer, you take the morning bus (Caribe Tours) for Puerto Plata, and a cab from there to BB.
The DR drivers are average for Latin America, but the added hazard of the motoconchos (motorbikes) is not for the inexperienced. These types have a suicidal lack of concern when cutting in front of cars, weaving in and out of traffic, etc. I promise you, if there is an accident, it will be the rich gringo's fault. Add the element of police with their hands out, and it is more potential trouble than its worth. I speak from personal experience.
If you want to gamble, get the additional insurance from a large rental chain (Budget, etc) not a local rental firm. Get the additional insurance for liability. When driving, make all lane changes, turns, changes, etc, slowly, to allow reaction time for motoconchos buzzing around your car. Otherwise, you risk one driving into the side of your turning vehicle (my experience).
Others may disagree, but I speak only from my own observations.

Thanks in advance!I flew several times to Santo Domingo Airport. I took a taxi from airport to a hotel or bus station for about 1300 pesos depending on the time I arrived. I prefer Metro Bus over Caribe tours because Metro is faster and has less stops than Caribe. It takes about 31/2 hours and generally a comfortable ride, Taxis are available at both bus stations at Puerto Plata to go to BB. I wear shorts, t-shirts and sneakers (sometimes sandals) in Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata without any issues.

How's the driving around the DR? This will be my first trip. I speak Spanish and am a savvy and experienced traveller.I would add to what the other poster (s) have mentioned. I almost always rent a car while in the DR but I did not do it the very first time. Indeed, I waited for several trips to be over with, to get a hang of the place. Your driving distance is long and while highway is not bad, it is the local roads that are dicey to navigate, pot holes aplenty and because a motorcycle rider often pass on the right side, you can understand the risk if you are also trying to turn right. I personally have had no issues so far but I drive during the day only, and hardly ever drink.
San Juan de Maguana is in the boondocks and mostly a rural area. Motor cycles abound, but car drivers anywhere are no better, what with alcohol and a big SUV.
I never rent cars in the DR It can put a target on your back. There is not much difference between Carib or Metro accept Carib runs much more often. I stay in the Colona zona because it is very convenient. You have everything you need in walking distance. There also SW availab, e almost all day. The massage girls will go back to your room with no problem. You have been given some good advice. Catching a cab to one of the malls can be a good time as well.

You don't need to drive in DR, (most locals don't have cars) Just take a trip through PP or SD to see how crazy the drivers are, especially at night. There's a kind of road ballet that takes some time to get used to.
You can pick out mongers by their caps, Ts, shorts and trainers / sandles, while locals wear long pants, leather shoes (if they can afford them) and often a collared shirt or polo.
If you are going to San Juan de Maguena dress like a local, as there are virtually no mongers there, and the entertainment / bars etc cater strictly to locals. I have stayed there a couple times. From Sosua, t's a long trip that takes you through SD. A Taxi can be had for about $200, and it's 5 or 6 hours. Alternately, the bus then taxi, then bus, then taxi to Sosua can take up to 10 hours depending.
I have a regular chica from there, and I usually give her bus fare one way up to Sosua and a cab back home.
Good luck!

How's the driving around the DR? This will be my first trip. I speak Spanish and am a savvy and experienced traveller.If you never do it then you will never learn. You will not learn shit sitting in the back of a bus or a taxi. I know plenty of DR chicks that have been doing that their entire lives and they do not know how to put the car in reverse, much less drive around their country (there was the chick in Santiago that did not know how to get to her own house). My first few times in DR I did not rent a car, but those times I was like the average monger. I went to stay in Boca Chica twice. Then I went to stay in Sosua maybe 3 times. So doing only that there was not really a need for a car.
The turning point was that next visit when I went to both Boca Chica and Sosua. I left Boca Chica at 8am on one uncomfortable exhaust filled minibus. I went to the station to change minibuses. I got to downtown Santo Domingo and had to take a taxi to the bus station. I took the bus to Charamicos (right outside of Sosua). Then I took a mototaxi (all I had was a backpack) into Sosua, getting there about 4 pm. After going through all of that shit it was renting cars from then on. And that was before GPS hit the cell phone and before there was the new toll road going from the Santo Domingo airport to the northern part of the country. Now that you got GSP on your cellphone, shiiiiieeeeettttt; it is easy breazy.
Nowadays there is no way I would be there without a car. You get to spread your wings more. You can hit more places faster. You can pull in to Blackbeards, Field of Dreams, or Sosua and if you do not like either one you can jump in your ride and bone out to go see some chick in Rio San Juan or Hato Mayor without having to wait for someone to come pick you up or worry about whether you are getting ripped off by taxis or worrying about a bus schedule. You do not have to sit on the bus hungry or having to take a leak while riding past the rest stop and only pulling into the bus station in a hurry to eat crappy bus station food. You can stop whenever and wherever you damn well please. That includes pulling over to give single chicks that are hitch hiking a ride. One thing that really got me was that I was paying a taxi $20 from the airport to Sosua when I could rent a car for $23/ day. Even if I would have left it parked it would have been fine by me.
Most people that advise against renting a car are people that do not rent cars themselves. I was even in an accident where I totaled the car. The tow truck dropped me and the car back at the rental car place and they gave me another one, no problem. Just remember that the big guys there such as Budget (they are franchises and do not have to follow the corporate guidelines) have started making it mandatory that you buy insurance from them because that is how they make their money. The cars themselves are cheap to rent. And most people do not know that the credit card company covers the car, but the companies there said screw that. You buy our insurance or you can not rent our cars. That is why I started going back with the company called Ace / Nelly. The last few times the car has cost me $14/ day.

I have decided to listen to most of you and take the bus / taxi combo. I splurged for a fancy room in Santo Domingo and will head up to Puerto Plata the morning after I arrive.
After a few nights at Blackbeards I have 3 nights free.
I only have a small backpack I am travelling with, and $ isn't too tight right now.
It looks like my original plan to go to San Juan de Manguana might be a little ambitious.
Any suggestions for 2 nights. I'd like to get a good hike or 2 in--and am in great shape / a real hiker. Multi day backpack trips are pretty normal for me.
Ideally, I'd love to find a chica that can also be a guide for me and get me off the track into some nature.
My last night I will spend back at the fancy schmancy hotel I picked out in Santo Domingo.
One week:
1 night nice hotel santo domingo.
3 nights blackbeards.
2 nights? (nature, girls, something unique to the DR? I want to learn something and get some booty while appreciating something different on our cool planet).
1 night back at the nice hotel in Santo Domingo to make it easy to get to the airport in the morning.
Any ideas?
Again, I am semi-fluent in Spanish, well travelled, and open.
Thanks Team!

Personal anecdote.
First let me say that my observations can be perceived as stating the obvious to many who have experience in the Dominican Republic, but in this case I am simply sharing my anecdotal experience.
Casual sex or NSAS (no strings attached sex) in the United States is common. All of my sexual experiences in the United States before living in the Dominican Republic were either NSAS or in some level of committed relationship up to and including marriage. However the Dominican Republic is a totally different animal.
In my 3 years of experience living here I have discovered that most Dominican women want 1 of two things from an extranjero. Either they want a committed relationship that brings stability and possibly status to their lives to include everything up to marriage; or they want some type of relationship that is financially beneficial. The financially beneficial relationship can take the form of the straight pro where you pay after every encounter or the semi or soft pro who expects some type of compensation immediately or long term depending on the arrangement and the people involved.
In my experience what is uniquely different for extranjeos and my experience is having casual sex. Obviously there are Dominican women who will have casual sex with extranjeros but in my experience that is the exception to the rule. I would say maybe 5% of my sexual experiences with Dominican women can be considered NSAS the rest have either included some type of commitment or some type of financial transaction.
Recently I have met a few women who have shown great integrity insisting they were NOT going to have sex without a commitment from me. The problem I have is not so much the commitment but the "commitment to what?
Commitment to children and a family that is not my own? Commitment to a woman who at the end of the day would prefer a Dominican man over me but the only reason she is with me is because I am her best option? Commitment to a woman who has the physical appearance of a model but the mind of a child? Commitment to problems of their own creation that could have easily been avoided with common sense?
Yes there can be a successful committed relationships between Dominicans and extranjeros but when I meet a woman who wants a commitment I aske her "commitment to what?

Yeah, as a very experienced traveller this is all exactly what my instincts are telling me. I imagine driving in the day is okay, but as a 1st timer, I should taxi at night. But, for just getting to / from Santo Domingo to Blackbeards, with maybe a stop in between, and for the freedom to do random things: I love renting a car. I live outside the US, near Curacao: and am used to driving in random countries and islands.
I appreciate and respect the concerns offered here about safety and being a robbery target, though having a small car may be less tourist looking than walking to from taxis and busses with my small backpack (on a one week trip: all I travel with is a small backpack).
The rental car companies even offer GPS in the car-so, navigating the main roads should be easy: but the small ones could be a bit of chaos. Part of them thinks: if other people can drive this place so can I, part of me thinks, no dumbass, you could have more problems than its worth! LOL!
I am leaning toward the bus / taxi combo based on everyone's thoughts, and it being my 1st trip there: but there is that part of me that really wants to rent a car like I did in curacao or Tobago or Australia or countless other places.
Decisions decisions! 1st world traveller problems to the 3rd world. Wow cars are cheap- and I always get the full insurance when renting in other countries. Its worth the peace of mind- even if my credit card may cover the damage anyway. Its just easier to do it right!
Field of dreams. Interesting--how has this place escaped me? I know nothing about it. Is it Blackbeards redux? Time for some more research!

So doing only that there was not really a need for a car.
The turning point was that next visit when I went to both Boca Chica and Sosua. I left Boca Chica at 8am on one uncomfortable exhaust filled minibus. I went to the station to change minibuses. I got to downtown Santo Domingo and had to take a taxi to the bus station. I took the bus to Charamicos (right outside of Sosua).
I have decided to listen to most of you and take the bus / taxi combo. I splurged for a fancy room in Santo Domingo and will head up to Puerto Plata the morning after I arrive.
After a few nights at Blackbeards I have 3 nights free.
I only have a small backpack I am travelling with, and $ isn't too tight right now.
It looks like my original plan to go to San Juan de Manguana might be a little ambitious.
Any suggestions for 2 nights. I'd like to get a good hike or 2 in--and am in great shape / a real hiker. Multi day backpack trips are pretty normal for me.
Ideally, I'd love to find a chica that can also be a guide for me and get me off the track into some nature.
My last night I will spend back at the fancy schmancy hotel I picked out in Santo Domingo.Cabarete, a few minutes away from Sosua is noted for it's world class kiting beach, and great restaurants, and there are several dive shops around the Sosua area that will take you out and teach you scuba. Snorkeling is always fun and free.
One thing about the bus / taxi option is that you will be free to indulge the Island's popular pastime of tequila, Presidente, or something a little stronger, without having to worry about where you parked the car, or if it's stlll there!
The downside? No "learning" experiences with totaled wrecks, the cops and unscrupulous rental agents! :)
Have fun!

I think they even have white water rafting. It is also closer to Santo Domingo as you make your way down.
Whether you can find someone by fluke who would be a guide is a difficult one to answer. I know a person who lives close by and so could be good company but doubt anything more. Should that idea sound interesting, send me a private message.
Finally, I agree with what Mr. Enternational said. About car rental. It allows you the freedom and I have been surprised positively, carnally speaking, many times. However, as he too apparently did, it is important to wait and have a clear idea of the place and its perils, that way you are going with your eyes wide open.

http://www.tripadvisor.com/627325?m=19905Exactly what I am looking for. Only I want the scene that must exist, just like this one, but without the tourists. I bet the locals have a similar waterfall / hike combo place more remote and away from the general public's ability to get there. Everyone who goes to Jamaica goes to Dunns River Falls. But if you live there, you go to Reach falls not far from there: no tourists, more natural. Its like that everywhere in my experience. Thee's the hotposts for gringos, and the cool spots for locals.
I will look for it and find it! (along with some hot spinner Dominicans).
I wonder where the sexiest cutest women in the DR. Really are?

http://www.tripadvisor.com/627325?m=19905Excellent suggestion. It is not for everyone, but sounds right for JustIncognito.
Don't waste time or money relying on chicas as "guides". 99% of them do not have a clue about anything outside their extremely narrow lives.
But taking along a chica for company is a different matter and can enhance your enjoyment. I always recommend taking a chica up the Teleferico (cable car. Another suggestion for you whilst in Puerto Plata) so long as it will be her first time, as there is fuck all to do up top otherwise.

One week:
1 night nice hotel santo domingo.
3 nights blackbeards.
2 nights? (nature, girls, something unique to the DR? I want to learn something and get some booty while appreciating something different on our cool planet).
1 night back at the nice hotel in Santo Domingo to make it easy to get to the airport in the morning.
Any ideas?
Again, I am semi-fluent in Spanish, well travelled, and open.
Thanks Team!Puerto Plata has little in the way of "nature walks. " Hiking alone in some of the undeveloped areas near a city might end badly. In a separate thread I suggested inquiring if BB can set you up with a horseback tour from one of the all inclusives. When sex tourism is less of a concern, investigate areas like Jarabacoa, which has some outdoor activities (Google it). Also, Pico Duarte, the highest point in the DR, elevation about 10,000 ft. It has hiking, but not recommended alone.

Commitment to children and a family that is not my own? Commitment to a woman who at the end of the day would prefer a Dominican man over me but the only reason she is with me is because I am her best option?But everyone usually goes with their best option. I would prefer to be with Beyonce, but that is not an option that is available to me at the moment, so I settle for other chicks.
Commitment to a woman who has the physical appearance of a model but the mind of a child?This shit is really hilarious to me. When I am meeting chicks online my first line is always, "Hello. What are you doing?" I swear that 99% of the chicks do not answer the question. They will say either: 1. Hello. 2. Hello, how are you. Or 3. Ramble on about some other shit. Then I will say well what about the question I asked? They will respond what question? I say scroll up you dumb bich.
Others will respond to it as if I asked "HOW are you doing?" Then there are others that initiate the conversation. They will say hello. I will respond with hello. They will say hello again. Then I will say hello again. After that goes back and forth several times they will ask you do not know how to say anything other than hello? I'm like bich you contacted me and you are not saying anything except hello.
Commitment to problems of their own creation that could have easily been avoided with common sense?And the funny thing is they want to attribute their fuck up to god instead of taking responsibility for it. A chick I used to mess with in the Philippines recently got pregnant by a dude she had a one night stand with. She said it was a blessing from god. I said no. That was a direct result of you fucking somebody you didn't know without a condom. God had nothing to do with that. Now the guy disappeared and you are stuck with another kid to raise when you can't even afford the one that you already had.
Yes there can be a successful committed relationships between Dominicans and extranjeros but when I meet a woman who wants a commitment I aske her "commitment to what?And what do they usually say? In my experience all they would say is that you will be only mine.
Personal anecdote.
First let me say that my observations can be perceived as stating the obvious to many who have experience in the Dominican Republic, but in this case I am simply sharing my anecdotal experience.
Casual sex or NSAS (no strings attached sex) in the United States is common. All of my sexual experiences in the United States before living in the Dominican Republic were either NSAS or in some level of committed relationship up to and including marriage. However the Dominican Republic is a totally different animal.
In my 3 years of experience living here I have discovered that most Dominican women want 1 of two things from an extranjero. Either they want a committed relationship that brings stability and possibly status to their lives to include everything up to marriage; or they want some type of relationship that is financially beneficial. The financially beneficial relationship can take the form of the straight pro where you pay after every encounter or the semi or soft pro who expects some type of compensation immediately or long term depending on the arrangement and the people involved..What's so different about women in DR?
Women everywhere learn they are sitting on a ticket to economic security. Sitting on a gold mine, as they used to say.
But fair's fair, I go to DR precisely because DR women consistently offer more per interaction, short or long, than the hard biatches with baggage in NA.
I don't blame DR chicas from exploiting the one thing in the world that is worth anything. Their youth and beauty.
If they don't have that, then why bother? Stay home!

I also recommend to take a chica along, as a "guide" in the sense that they know what areas / situations are to be avoided, and may spot trouble before a stranger will.You know I have the greatest respect for your opinions, and that sounds sensible in theory, but I have never found it to be the case in practice. If a chica steers me in a different direction I have always found she has had an ulterior motive, possibly an innocent one, like steering me away from the people I want to meet towards the ones she is comfortable with.
I remember once I took a chica to Sosua to have dinner with a group of American friends and (other) board members. We arrived late and the lane to the apartments seemed blocked by a bunch of inebriated rowdies. My chica refused to take another step until I explained that these were the people we had come to meet!
Also I think references to "situations to be avoided" and "trouble" may be alarming to newbies and those undecided whether to make a first visit. The DR is very safe unless you are totally reckless, get drunk or get involved with dealing in banned substances or with [CodeWord902] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902) girls.

The DR is very safe unless you are totally reckless, get drunk or get involved with dealing in banned substances or with girls.Not a problem, Sir Charles. Our opinions are the product of our respective experiences. I will relate mine to explain my opinion.
I had rented a car (Budget, extra liability) and was driving through Nagua with a chica. I was at an intersection in the left lane, left turn signal on, waiting for the opposing traffic to stop, to make my turn. As the opposing traffic stopped, I started to make my turn, - and a motoconcho slammed into my door at a 45 degree angle, denting the door, tearing off the rear view mirror, and sending the idiot driver and his passenger sliding along the asphalt.
Oh shit! I was shocked, trying to figure out what to do next. I was thinking about cops, legal action, thousands of dollars, days / weeks in the DR past, etc, when my chica companion sprang into action.
She asked about the nearest clinic, and we began to load the passenger and idiot motoconcho driver into the rental car to take them to the clinic.
Thankfully, their injuries were minor, mostly 'road rash' from the asphalt. Both got treatment at the clinic, to include x-rays. I paid for the treatment, just wanting to get the hell out of there. (The medical bill came to less than $200 US, as I recall. I even gave the female passenger a little money, to keep her in a good mood). (I will keep the story short, skipping the crap I got from the idiot, who wanted his bike repaired at my expense).
Important point, the chica knew if the cops got involved, it could get really ugly. By taking those involved to a private clinic, we avoided the mandatory police report at a hospital. Likewise, we never saw a cop during the process. Once the clinic was taken care of, we continued on our way. I was out a little cash, but considered myself very lucky, considering the alternative. Thank God that the chica was savvy enough to spare me a horrible experience.
A shorter story. A chica-novia in Santiago berated me for exiting a taxi and opening my wallet to ask how much I owed him. She said I should ALWAYS pay the cabbie before exiting, as a safety precaution. (A neighbor of hers was shot to death outside her front door, and she has had several close calls in Santiago with crime, so she is very aware of her surroundings).
It depends on the chica of course. If she is clueless, so be it, but if she is smart and savvy, she can be your "canary in the coal mine" and save you a lot of grief.
Just my experience. I know well that you are a full time resident, and you have your own insights.
Take care,
Y69.

Personal Anecdote.
Once again I am going to state the obious to many, the difference is I am going to put the obvious in my own words. It has occured to me that living in the Dominican Republic and dealing with the women here (and people in general) is like playing a game. Pick your favorite game, whether it be the board game of chess or the Spades card game the fundemental principles are the same. There are two things you need if you are going to win consistantly at any game. First you need to know the rules of the game, second you need to have skill at playing the game, especially when your advesary knows the rules and has skills at the game you are playing.
Men come to the Dominican Republic for different reasons and at different stages of their lives, therefore they have different experiences. The prinicple of understanding the game is still relavent regardless as to your status.
In this game of living in the Dominican Republic it is imperative to understand the culture and how Dominican people think of and percieve extranjeros. Generally, you are either appreciated or resented because it is percieved that you can add some value to their lives indivdually, or the lives of those they care about. Of course their are exceptions to every rule but generally Dominicans will treat extranjeros differentlly than they treat other Dominicans. This can have positive or negative results depending on the individuals involved in the situation.
I reject the notion that all Dominicans are this and all Dominicans are that simply because my experiences have been different with different Dominicans. Todas la gente no son iguales. However, one thing remains the same, Dominican people percieve the extranjero differently then they percieve themselves.
Many a man has come to the Dominican Republic and given his heart, money or material things to a Dominican woman only to discover because he did not understand the rules to the game he could not play it with skill, therefore he lost. This does not mean that we cannot have feelings for Dominican women nor does it mean that we cannot be generous how we see fit; what it does mean is we should try to avoid loosing touch of how we are percieved and perhaps we will not loose as often as many who have gone before us.
Personally I am trying to have success at this game by developing tactics and strategies based on how Dominicans percieve me while still being open for the occasional Dominican who is different from the others.

Many a man has come to the Dominican Republic and given his heart, money or material things to a Dominican woman only to discover because he did not understand the rules to the game he could not play it with skill, therefore he lost.Again this holds true for anywhere. I think it is not as much as not understanding the rules as it is that most choose to ignore the rules or figure they will be able to change the rules later. That is why if you are looking for a serious relationship you never lead with your wallet.
On the show 90 Day Finace, a Mexican-American cat married a 20 year old chick from Russia. She told him from the start that she was with him for money. No big deal to him. He told her that he would always get her everything she wanted. Well until she wanted a $30,000 wedding dress, etc. He would never be able to keep up with her wants. And like his sister told him, what else could he expect when he is paying someone to spread their legs. He thought he would be able to lead with money and it would taper off into love. Shiiiieeet.
I was messing with a chick in Colombia and one morning she came to see me at the hotel before she had to go to work. We finished fucking and her boss was calling. I told her to answer it but she refused. She got ready and left for work. When she got there her boss notified her that she was suspended for 5 days for being late. She kept sending me messages talking about she didn't know how she would pay this that and the other now. It seemed that she was trying to get me to volunteer to give her money for the time she would lose although she never came out and said it.
Whereas the average ISG mf would feel all sorry and ask her how much she needed, I just kept telling her how fucked up it was and that I understood her pain. Now that chick is all in love with me and I know that she will never ask me for shit because I didn't start things out by giving her shit. Now when I do decide to do nice things for her it will be considered something special and not just a given. In this case I was able to bend the rules my way, instead of playing by the rules that someone else thought they could impose on me.
When you are not afraid of losing pussy you give a fuck less what the rules are. You know that you can always go get another one the same place you got that one.

I think if your premise is to play games, you are always at risk up against a better or more unscrupulous game player (or even their handlers), just like if your whole game is based on tough attitude, I've seen even bikers begging for mercy when they pick on the wrong guy!
My attitude in successful business is to to treat everything as a business transaction (why consider P4 P anytrhing else?
Your money is good, so how is their service?
You should always get value in kind for your hard earned money.
If it's a relationship, you need certain things in return for your committment, If you don't get that, don't whine about it, move on!
Be yourself!
Somewhere there is someone who thinks like you do, and all of a sudden, it's common sense! Your 5 basic needs, trust, hygiene, loyalty, sex. fun, cooking, cleaning, whatever, are met.
You're in love!

Go for it!I'm not exactly sure but it is possible you missed the point I was trying to make. I used "game" as an analogy to help illustrate that success can be difficult to apprehend if you do not understand there are general principles to be successful.
In your response you shared basic principles that if a person knows, understands and practices they can have a greater potential for success. Perhaps you misunderstood my purpose in using the game analogy it was exactly that an analogy.
Todas la gente no son igualesStrangely, gente or 'people,' while a plural noun in English, is a singular noun in Spanish. So it is 'toda la gente no es igual. ' If saying 'la gente es' sounds as bad to your ear as it does to mine, you could say todas las personas no son iguales.

Perhaps you misunderstood my purpose in using the game analogy it was exactly that an analogy.I think there's a basic human compact between people in business and personal life. Fair value given for fair value received. Only you can determine what is fair value given. Not some other guy!
Say you make a mental list of the thing you need from another person or their business, in order of importance to you.
From my car mechanic, honesty, competence and affordability would be on top of my list. Friendliness, sense of humor, attractiveness, religion, culture not at all. Same with a taxi driver. You apply this approach when you buy a car. You can't afford all the extras but some (smokers) must have a sun roof, others a rear view camera etc.
With women there are the hotties who dress like tarted up hoes, but turn you on, and get you off. But you may not be able to take them home to momma, or your grown kids, or your friends LOL.
Then there are the ones you might want to share a big part of your life with. That's where honesty, loyalty, hygiene, intelligence, sense of humor ablility to cook and clean suddenly become important. Sex is still there, but no longer at the very top of the list. Not good if you come home and she's sitting there in her disco outfit waiting to be fed!
The woman may not realize it, but she is also working on her list, financial security, permanence, and she may also be willing to give up her preference for a young guy with a big dick! .
Put aside the passion, lust or love, and think in common sense terms. The success of any relationship business or personal, in my humble opinion, comes from cross checking each other's list (doesn't have to be written down and waved around you critics) and matching her most wanted things with your most wanted things and the higher the score on that, the better chance of it lasting.
It will never be perfect, no relationship will ever be, but if you can compromise on the things that are not most important to you, you can make it work.
Don't EVER compromise on the stuff at the top of your list!
I got some of this stuff from women, so use at your own risk! .
But It works for me!

Latest forecasts are for rain Thursday 7th Sept and Friday 8th September. Latest indications are that the North Coast will suffer a tropical storm on Thursday. Heavy rain all day, so that means flooding in the usual areas affected. This is a fast-moving storm so the weather will clear up by Friday, but the flooding is likely to remain throughout Friday.
It is extremely unlikely that Irma will hit the North Coast as a fully-fledged hurricane but only a small turn southwards would achieve this. However that has not happened for the past 100+ years. What will come is bad enough for tens of thousands of people in affected areas.
Stock up with food, water, beer and chicas for Thursday because no-one will be going out. Prepare for power blackouts and cut communications.

Hello!
I am brand new to this board and I have spent hours reading all the wonderful info trying to get prepared for a trip this February. I've been to Havana and had some fun there before.
I am actually heading to Sosua with some friends and family for a non monger vacation so my plan when they leave on Sunday, I will stay behind for a few days.
I am trying to decide between staying in Sosua or going to Blackbeards.
I am an early morning riser, usually in bed by midnight, so I am not interested in the late night partying that one can do in Sosua and not at BB. I speak a little Spanish, but I am not fluent.
I am hoping by telling you guys what I am looking for, you can help me decide between Sosua or BB.
I enjoy a lot of different body types, what I am looking for is more GFE type sessions, lots of DFK, BBBJ with CIM.
Just wondering, am I better off at Blackbeards or in Sosua? Or am I being realistic thinking I'll find that at either?
Of course ill post a full trip report when I get back!
Hello!
I am brand new to this board and I have spent hours reading all the wonderful info trying to get prepared for a trip this February. I've been to Havana and had some fun there before.
I am actually heading to Sosua with some friends and family for a non monger vacation so my plan when they leave on Sunday, I will stay behind for a few days.
I am trying to decide between staying in Sosua or going to Blackbeards.
I am an early morning riser, usually in bed by midnight, so I am not interested in the late night partying that one can do in Sosua and not at BB. I speak a little Spanish, but I am not fluent.
I am hoping by telling you guys what I am looking for, you can help me decide between Sosua or BB.

Of course ill post a full trip report when I get back!This is an old, familiar situation. You may hear arguments for both, but, in the end, depends on your taste.
For someone new to the DR with just a few days, I recommend BB for the following reasons.
BB has a controlled atmosphere, with no scammers, druggies, drama queens. If there is a problem or dispute, you can report it to the management for resolution.
The place is very convenient for those with little time to troll the streets. Point, click, one minute walk to your room, versus trolling bars or streets, finding a girl, then a longer walk back to your hotel. With a restaurant and bar on-site, if you are so inclined, you don't even have to leave the compound, but there is a nice beach and few restaurants just a few minutes walk away. A five minute walk from the hotel is Jenny's (a small grocery, you pass it on your way to the hotel). Good place to change money, buy bottled water, etc. Across the street is a farmacia where you can get Dominican Cialis (La Pela or Mambo).
The BB girls get monthly medical checks for STDs.
In Sosua, you might be able to negotiate a girl down for a few dollars less, but there is no quality control. If there is a problem, you are on your own.
Many prefer Sosua as a place to show their "game" but for a new guy, with limited time, BB is a good introduction to the DR.

I am trying to decide between staying in Sosua or going to Blackbeards.Well you will already have experienced Sosua (except for maybe taking a girl; but you will definitely be familiar with the scene), so why not go check out BB when your peeps leave?

Of course ill post a full trip report when I get back!You say you are looking for a GFE, non monger vacation!
On that basis alone, for a real GFE experience I would recommend Sosua.
In BB you are geographically stuck in a place with strict regulations for both hookers and johns, early bar closing times, and if you happen to fall in lust with one "special" who may be busy for the couple days you are there, too bad!
Nothing worse than waiting for sloppy seconds from your dream GFE, and not ever getting there.
Sosua is more 'GFE" bars, party places, dancing, casinos, restaurants to show her a good time, and she's there only for you, as long as you pick up the tab. And, while you have to observe the normal cautions in picking up strange women, your choices are virtually unlimited on an average Sosua weekend!
Even a Sosua hoe's story of being a student nurse, student banker, student teacher whatever is sometimes more palatable after a few cocktails than a hoe who is looking at her watch because her shift is over! And like a real GF, she'll not make you wait in line! :)
But like I said, we all choose different ways to roll!
Try them both and see where you best fit in!
Best!

If you prefer (mostly) reliable professional prostitutes, stay at Blackbeards.
If you prefer to take your chances from a mix of professional prostitutes, unprofessional prostitutes, amateurs learning the game as prostitutes, transvestites, drug addicts, and civilians wanting a good night out and who would not mind going home with more cash than they came out with, then stay in Sosua.
Blackbeards for a sure thing, Sosua for a lucky dip.
If, like me, and like many ex-pats and repeat visitors, you have learned that haitianas offer the best value for money and time invested, then steer clear of Blackbeards because there are none there (unless things have changed recently).
Maybe not this trip, but for any future one, do not rule out Puerto Plata city as your base. For non-pros and semi-pros it leaves Sosua standing but you will need more than a few days to learn your way around and build up a contacts list. And some Spanish (which you have).

Of course ill post a full trip report when I get back!Well, as I said, there is always a variety of opinions on the subject you raised. If you are going on a non-mongering vacation to Sosua, be observant and take a look around. You will see unescorted women walking the streets by day, and if you go out at night, they will be filling the bars and casinos. You can figure out what to expect. (If you are going with family, after exposure to the abundance of hookers in Sosua, its a little surprising a spouse will allow you a few days "on your own".
Firstly, no one can guarantee you a GFE, anywhere. That depends on the girl. Its a crap shoot anywhere you go.
Since you are in bed by midnight, the nightlife in Sosua will be lost on you. For some, the music at BB ending at 11 is a drawback, for some, it means getting a good night's sleep. Speaking for myself, I don't go to the DR or BB to party all night. By 11 pm, I prefer to be in my room with a girl. For a guy with limited time for "game" or trolling, its far more convenient. Sounds to me like you don't have time to get to know any non-pros or wining and dining.
In Sosua, you are on your own, so you can have a great experience, or a nightmare. Potluck. While some find the controlled environment at BB stifling, for a newbie to the DR, it also offers an element of security and "quality control" you won't get on the street.
As stated, it all depends on YOUR taste.
Good luck.

Firstly, no one can guarantee you a GFE, anywhere. That depends on the girl. Agree with your thoughts completely bar this one above. A GFE depends both on the woman and the man, as well. Language, respect, smile all go to build that pleasant experience.

Don't act like a total jerk and expect the world from a girl. Some guys, with clear psychological problems, go out of their way to humiliate or mistreat a girl. I always say if you treat a chica well, you are often repaid in kind. (Of course, that part depends on the girl you chose).

Plenty of other chicas to go after in my opinion. This chica your talking about. She wouldn't be from Santiago would she? If she is, PM me her name or picture if you would.

Earlier this year, I tried BB for a couple of days before going to Sosua. The last trip, I went to both places and added a few Days in Caberete. I enjoying that mix. In the future, If I only have 5 days, I would do both BB and Sosua. I didn't have trouble finding BBBJ and CIM at BB. The chicas were more to my liking on my trips, but probably more variety of bodies in Sosua. If you send an email to BB, they will send you photos from the Bikini contest, it is fairly representative of what is usually on site, at least on my two trips.

I enjoy a lot of different body types, what I am looking for is more GFE type sessionsIf you can handle a conversation in spanish, even roughly, you should opt for Sosua.
Sosua: technically, any girl you can see there can be yours at once. Girl that you cross in the street, waitress, working in a shop,. And there is plenty of choice, from white to black, Dominicans and Haitianas (I confirm these angels are sweeter). Spend all day at the nice beach, animated with many good little restaurants, and there are places where you just seat with a beer in front of the sea, and you can see all the girls walking by afternoon, waiting for your smile and your patronage for the night.
At night, everything is within 200 meters on the same road: restaurants, bars, disco, and hundreds of girls, mainly FL. Given the choice, impossible to come back alone. If you prefer GFE than PSE (although you can find this combination easily), go ahead to Sosua. You won't get bored night and day. Everyday I woke up there, I had a big smile on my face, knowing in advance I'll have a nice day at the beach, a ST for snack, and LT with a cutie every night. Girls are cool there.
If you stay at Sosua, I strongly recommend the Hotel New garden, and a Platinum room there (around 70$). See my previous post comparing New Garden and Casa Valeria.
BB: Well, there is no much to do there. Even the beach in front is ugly. Selection of ladies is poor (10 to 20) compared to Sosua (1000+). No haitianas. Nothing to do except sunbath around the pool and beer at the bar. No GFE. No atmosphere, or fake one. No 'fiesta' and hapiness feelings. Actually, I booked at BB for 3 nights, but stayed only 1 night, because I did'nt like it. I got bored after few hours, and I didn't like the girls and the concept. I'm quite young though (50) and good looking, so definitly can get better outside BB. I ran out of BB after 24 h, and I couldn't leave Sosua after 10 days. YMMV. The only advantage of BB would be for people totally unexperienced with FL, not speaking spanish at all, or with age/physical issue.

Sosua: technically, any girl you can see there can be yours at once.This is a dangerous exaggeration. There are plenty of civilians working in Sosua who are not interested in spot cash and would be very offended if approached that way. Some of these could be "courted" like any non-pro, but it is the "at once" in your post that I object to.
(Blackbeards) Even the beach in front is ugly.In eleven years I have never heard it called "ugly". It is pleasant enough to walk along and sit beside, but a lot of local people are reluctant to swim there because of (alleged) pollution. It is downstream from Puerto Plata sewage outlets and power station.
(Blackbeards) No haitianas.Sadly true. There used to be some. A deal-breaker for me.
The only advantage of BB would be for people totally unexperienced with FL, not speaking spanish at all, or with age/physical issue.Hardly its only advantages, but certainly the best starter for those with no confidence or Spanish, or unfit. Old age is no problem in Sosua if one is reasonably fit. I am 77 and during my rare two-hour midday visits to Sosua I get enough offers from pretty girls to last me a month.

Thanks. I am not planning on doing too much other than relaxing on the beach and finding company. I think that is one of the reasons that BB appealed to me.

77? You Sir, are my hero! Good for you!
I am only 47, but about 80 lbs overweight (although most people think half of that). I've lost 50 lbs this year and my goal is another 40 before this trip in Feb.
So not sure what the "reasonably fit" means to someone in DR. But I know its probably not me LOL.

Selection of ladies is poor (10 to 20) compared to Sosua (1000+).This is indeed an exaggeration. At no time have I ever seen near 1000 chicks in Sosua. Definitely 10 to 20 at Black Beard's though.
Everything else you have said is spot on except for when you said white chicks. Please do not go to Sosua expecting to bag white chicks. In 11 years I have bagged 1 white chick. She was a German chick named Susanna and lived there. And I think that was my second time in Sosua.
To sum Black Beard's up, it is a motel in the middle of nowhere (I am well aware that it is in the Costambar neighborhood) with a few hookers on-site.
If relaxing on the beach is what you want then definitely stay in Sosua. I would not set foot on that beach at Costambar.
At night, everything is within 200 meters on the same road: restaurants, bars, disco, and hundreds of girls, mainly FL.
BB: Well, there is no much to do there. Even the beach in front is ugly. Selection of ladies is poor (10 to 20) compared to Sosua (1000+). No haitianas. Nothing to do except sunbath around the pool and beer at the bar. No GFE. No atmosphere, or fake one. No 'fiesta' and hapiness feelings.Well, to each his own. Charles Pooter has already addressed some of the errors in the report. Don't confuse personal opinion with information. You don't like BB. That's fine. That's your preference. But the information provided is inaccurate.
The poster mentioned that he intended to be in bed by midnight, so the nightlife preferred by some will be lost on him. I wonder if we are talking about the same beach. The beach about 5 minutes walk from the BB compound is very enjoyable. When I have been there, the sand was clean, though I didn't go to swim, so no idea about water quality. During the week, you may have it all to yourself. Secluded, quiet beach, used mostly by locals on the weekends. I've gone there, rented a lounger, bought a beer from a vendor, and sat in the shade under a palm, smoking a cigar, having a beer, and relaxing. I've gone there both alone and with a chica whose company I enjoy. If you want crowds of people, they are at Sosua. (But then, each person has their preference. I go to relax).
10 to 20 girls? There are close to ten in the bikini contest alone. More than that on each shift (morning and evening). For those interested, register for BB's online newsletter for pics of the girls. Of course there are more women in Sosua. A full spectrum from sweet young things to nasty, hard core types. From GFE to scam artists to drama queens. You get to find out which when you get back to your room. For that reason, for a first timer, BB is a better option.
If the poster is staying in / near Sosua for a family vacation, he should have ample opportunity to see for himself what the environment, nightlife, and available women are like.

The poster mentioned that he intended to be in bed by midnight, so the nightlife preferred by some will be lost on him.Nightlife at Sosua begins at 4 pm on the beach, and 6 pm downtown. Common Guys, you know how it works there... Oh, and at Sosua, if CuriousFun likes beach there are two. Sosua Beach, with a nice curve, plenty of restaurants, bars, and animation. (although you can have a very good chair and umbrella by the end of the beach). And just next to it, Alicia beach, much less frequented. Very nice also. If you hate crowd, that's the place to be. I hope all these posts from different people and point of views will help you. Have a nice stay! I envy you!

Everyone always has lots of options and that's great. Its nice to get feedback from many points of view. I appreciate all the contributions.
And yes, I am already on BBs mailing list.
Part of me feels its best to wing it and decide once I am there, but I am concerned about getting a reasonably priced room either in Sosua or at BB if I wait until the day I need it.

Well yes, I would think that would be obvious. In all my mongering, abroad and in Canada, I have always treated the woman I am with like a lady.In that case, you have the right attitude, but there are others who expect GFE without giving BFE.
As others suggested, if you are with family, passing time in Sosua, it should give you an insight into what is available there, but a one time chance-meet hardly ever guarantees GFE, I dare say. I have been to BB as a visitor once to see the much vaunted beauty contest so cannot really comment about the women but perhaps your odds of finding a compliant person might be higher, there. Also, perhaps you should try both experiences to figure out for yourself what works for you. There is a cabana in Sosua and so if you can give your folks the slip, you might try once taking a chick to a cabana and see how it pans out.

I forgot: if ever you go to Sosua at the main Sosua Beach (Playa Sosua), the best beach chairs are almost at the end of the beach. They are the only one to have RED chairs, with a thick and confortable mattress and structure is made of wood: you can't miss them. Not the plastic white and blue one that you find everywhere, on which you spend 10 minutes to lay down, because once you sit down on it, it folds. They have also very good and cheap food! Ask the restaurant for a chair and umbrella, and tell them you will eat there: you'll get a discount for the chair (or even free, I don't remember)

I currently have flights booked to Rio for February and am in an awkward situation. Should I cancel and rebook to DR?
DR seems to speak a lot more English than Brazil.
DR seems cheaper to eat, drink, monger and to live in general.
DR has better beaches in my opinion, whiter sand and clearer water.
Brazil, I have more chance of crime happening towards me.
I would like some help or even advice on where to choose. The only thing keeping me going to Brazil at the moment is the girls and me wanting to experience Brazilian culture and their women.
Help me choose!

The DR is on my bucket list but it is much closer to USA and yes I read better bang for your buck.
Just like my visit two years ago to Cuba, it is an experience that I really enjoyed, same as 4 months ago visiting the Philippines and Angel City was always on my bucket list of to see places.

TTM.I feel that going to Rio without being able to speak any Portuguese will be my downfall. What do you think? I think Brazil is more suited to mongers who can speak the language rather than somebody who can't speak a word. Wherever I go will be a risk, but I feel that in Rio I will be taken advantage of because of the language barrier.
Do I take a massive risk and head to Brazil or a little risk and head to DR?

Another trip in which I have depended on Dominican cupid. For me this method works really well. Some of these girls are using the venue to find " short term relations" and others are truly looking for a spouse. In other areas you can have some success but the smaller towns are going to have much smaller choice and should not be your only option. I have always tried to schedule to meet with 4 girls a day. 12,3, 5 &8. I try to screen them to the pointe of asking some if they want to spend the night with me. The 7 pm one is picked based on their answer. 2 hours is almost ok. Most of the girls are on Dominican time. One was actually early and one you could have set your clock on. The rest were 15 minutes or 2 hours late. Interesting when the 2 hours late is back to back with the early girl. Just be ready to handle it. No shows are about 50% for me. I am sure if you are more aggressive by calling them you can get this up 75% easily. It amazes me how one girl can look so different in the fotos and then look completely different in person.
When they show up expect the unexpected. I have had some simply go into the room bathroom and come out butt naked and some who refused to do anything more than light petting on their first date.
Good luck & happy hunting.
Excellent approach and observations, SS. If you go to DR once or twice a year you will have a regular roster of girls but can always add and subtract based on performance and availability. I assume you are using whattssapp with the girls. Cheers.

Another trip in which I have depended on Dominican cupid.Be careful with that site. I remember a guy in the Medellin thread saying they screwed him over with the autorenewal shit. So when I signed back up 3 months ago I turned it off. Then last night I was thinking I have been on this shit a long time. Usually they send an email saying it is about to expire. I went on and looked and that autorenew was mysteriously on and lo and behold it charged me for another 3 months yesterday. I wrote and told them I did not want it and they basically said fuck you. If I wanted to be a dick like they are I would just call American Express and cancel the transaction.

Seriously. When I signed up for a 3 months subscription I turned the autorenew off. Now that my 3 months are up somehow it is mysteriously turned on again and I am enrolled for 3 more months? Give me a break. I had heard from other people that you guys were doing this. Please cancel this new subscription and refund my money.

Hi,
I live in Canada and I understand that you can exchange CAD To DOP in most places in Sosua, is that correct?
Is it also true that most hotels want to be paid in USD? Will they accept CAD / DOP?

Be careful with that site. I remember a guy in the Medellin thread saying they screwed him over with the autorenewal shit. I think they also upped their rate within the past year? I signed up one month at a time before and it was $24.99 now it's $34.99? That's too dang much money. I'm loving Tagged because it's free. Also not as confusing to use as Badoo. I'll find out how the true results compare to Cupid next week.

I actually had trouble with the auto renew. The only way around that is to cancel the card or in the case of pay pal they will let you block any charges from the site.
What I paid the girls varied from 500 to 4500 (which is close to $100). I tried to be fair with the girls and if they came to see me then I made sure they left with at least an inflated taxi money. The $100 was a total la noche with a very lengthy session in the morning. Another total la noche received 2,000. Am service not very good. Go figure the night was fabulous.
I will repeat with the 500 and not the 4500.
You can give them money for taxi and they will probably catch a bus and definitely not pay gringo taxi price.
I did not really use whatsup. Just message to girl. I think if I had used whatsup up the success rate would have been close to 100%.
The girl takes a chance if she shows up and you are not there. Which I never did but some our cohorts might get caught up and skip a meeting.

My opinion is that Whatsapp is the way to go. All the chicas use it. It's a great way to setup rendezvous, get sexy pictures from the chicas and keep in touch with them when your at home. I've heard good things about Dominican Cupid. But I'm kinda cheap and don't want to pay. I still get plenty of chicas from Facebook and tagged.com. I enjoy free apps for the moment. Maybe I should check it out though. Some of those chicas are freaking beauties on Dominican Cupid!

I have paid 1500 to 4000 and as the saying goes your mileage will vary. Average is probably 2.5. Some are wham bams and others hang around for days. I met a lot of the, DD and DDD beauties from cupid but also just walking down El Conde in Santo Domingo or near the monument in Santiago. Sousa is like shooting fish in a barrel or should I say you are the fish being shot? Any beach in DR, or at least the four or five I have been to, are all target rich environments. They like the gringo with pesos and skin color contrast. I have long hair and most of the chicas love it. Whatsapp is good not only for naughty or not pic exchange but also because you can see the history of the conversation and copy / paste translated desires. A lot of the Dominicanas, I've discovered, love to be talked dirty to in their language. They see me struggling with talking Spanish in person but most are patient and tolerant and I think somewhat reciprocal in their amorous expressions. I love the Filipinas with their tiny twats and "up to you" easy English but these Dominicanas with their large firm tits, luscious lips, almond eyes and penchant for deep throating are an easy international match. Would like to but never been to Colombia or Venezuela or Cuba but been to most of Southeast Asia, Curacao, Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico but my money is on DR and PI. Best bangs for your bucks. Beautiful women. They love older guys with pesos. All my American married friends are jealous as hell. I can't even show them the pics I'd like to for fear they will commit hary kary. Cheers.

Dear member,
We have carefully reviewed our record but were unable to find any record of you successfully cancelling the auto renewal option prior to 18-09-2017 before the membership was renewed. It is likely that you did not complete the switch off process so this option was not successfully cancelled hence your membership was renewed.
We understand that you may not intend to renew your membership at this time so as a sign of good faith, we are happy to offer a refund as an exception even though you have started making use of the renewal membership. The refund is for 3 months Gold membership of $59.99. The refund will appear on your credit card statement.

PayPal takes the side of the customer FIRST, meaning they will freeze payment to the vendor until the grievance is fully resolved. In most cases PayPal will just refund you the money and go after the vendor for the difference to save you from having to wait to get your money back.
When dealing with dating sites like Dominican Cupid, POF, etc. , as soon as I purchase the membership via PayPal I immediately go to my settings in my PayPal account and cancel the membership, which cancels out the recurring transactions that most dating sites set you up on by default. You will still be able to use the membership for the length of time you purchased (i.e. 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, etc.), but once the membership ends you will not be charged by the vendor and will need to purchase a new membership.

Like some of you have reported. I have used Latin American Cupid on and off for a few years, but I have never been hit with an unauthorized renewal.
How do I access the page that has my credit card number, Grown Man?
On a scale of 1 - 10, my rating is 8 - 9. It's not perfect. Avon's skin so soft bug guard lotion. Also acts as a sunblock lotion. If you do get bitten, It will not be as strong or itch. Been using this lotion on my trips to the Caribbean many times. Now, If you do get a strong bite with a bad itch, Keep a piece of clear scotch tape on the bite for all day and night. It will stop the itch fast and keep you from scratching it. It works for me. Just sharing the vibe!

Thanks!I know of no country that gives citizenship to the father of a child under the circumstances that you refer, none. Residency, yes. And from there you can get citizenship but it certainly takes time, five years minimum. I am working on Colombian citizenship,8 years and I'm still not there.
The jewstate will give out the passport since they're desperate to get more or them to move there.

Once you see the games enough it gets rather amusing. The effort and acting show a creative side that I like. Also guys are so gullible that some deserve it. I'm talking big bucks if the girl gets the right mark and runs her game correct.
One guy was sending his girl in la Vega 500 usd a month and visiting every three months. His girl got bored and said she wanted to work in a salon doing nails and massage. He liked that she wanted to make honest money but never told him it was in Sosua. We are sitting at a club in Sosua and this newbie showed us pictures of a girl he banged in a massage parlor. It was our girl from ka Vega. Someone told him and guess what he does? He buys her a salon in la Vega thinking that would stop her from tricking.
I know a guy here in the States that has never been to the DR who sends money monthly. He met her online and his her on his Facebook as his new wife. Now she has sent the "mom in hospital "pictures and has the girls friends calling Ng saying he is a nice guy and could they send 150 usd for college tuition.
It never stops and these girls are relentless but as a vet it's normal to ignore all this shit and wait on the next hustle from her with humor.
I always say, be unpredictable and never fully trust any of these Dominican girls.

A friend of mine had a baby with a Sosua La Passion chick a few years ago. She was back home in La Romana at the time. On one of his frequent visits, the parents seemed angry with him for some reason. He finally asked them and they said they were angry that he was only giving $20/month to take care of his son (who they were actually watching).
Well, my friend was really giving $300/month, but the girl was using most of it to pay for a place in Santo Domingo for her lesbian lover and telling her parents that my friend was short changing his kid.
Yeah, the ones that me and Gogo describe are the same chicks that guys claim to feel so sorry for and have so much compassion for because they are so poor.

You can not let your emotions get tied up with these girls. I have seen guys do some really stupid things when it comes to good pussy. Any girl who works in Sosua is a hoe. No matter how sweet and nice she is. When you lose track of that you are heading for a big disappointment. I have implemented a 1 and done rule. The first time a chica does something I do not like I let her go. Like old time pimps use to say. You got keep them hoes in check.

That story was a few years ago and was posted in the Sosua forum. Would take me too long to dig it up. But basically a gringo (Western Union Novio) tried to kill himself because she didn't want to be with him anymore or something. And this was a well-known hoar in Sosua. Last time I crossed paths with her was my last time in Sosua in 2012. Supposedly some gringo had taken her off the market but she was still hanging around there. Not sure if she was still selling ass at the time because I never propositioned her.
Check out my post #19384 in the Sosua forum. Some guy proposed to this chick in Clasicos!
What's interesting about those photos attached to that particular post is here in Sex Prison USA I am around the age where all of my female counterparts are now at the phase of their lives where they are ready to settle down and find a Good Man™ after hoaring themselves out and riding the cock carousel all throughout their 20's. Essentially everyday was Sosua for them, only they didn't get paid for fucking.

Can anyone provide recommendations / suggestions for the best area in the DR for a week vacation centered around both golf and chicas?
Thanks!
Hi folks,
I am thinking of making a trip down to DR during Christmas and in particular to one of the sex resorts. DRNights, Oxygen, BlueParadise or Senses. Does anyone have recommendations on which one is worth the while and $$? I realize that these resorts are going to be priced higher than Blackbeards or FOD but I'm thinking I might have to do a little more homework with BB / FOD (because they are not all-inclusive) which I currently don't have much time for. Any input is appreciated.
As another random thought, would it be more worth it to go to Costa Rica and the DelRay instead of DR?
Thanks in advance.
I will be flying into Santo Domingo in 2 monrths. I plan to meet one of my long time Cupid chicas there. We have been fuck buddies for 6 years. She is a 7 or less but is everything you want in bed. She seems to enjoy sex as much as I do. Gives an awesome CIM that can not be beat. We do te malls, casino and disco. She provides a great start to any vacation The next day it is off to Sosua for 3 days. Since I am taking the edge off in SD I can slide into Sosua less desperate. I have many bucket list things that I love to do.
Got to have 1 hot 19 year old to get the ball rolling after that I am wide open. One of my major challenges are the many girls that I know that will want to repeat. I think having a game plan is good way of maximizing your fun.
If sex and meals is all you want in a safe enviroment thenn BB is an excellent option. It has everything on hand with a decent price. Living in a brothel for a few ays is what you are looking for BB can do the trick. What floats my boat way not do anything for you and vice versa. However the high price resorts will provide th same services for 5 times the cost. The ambience will be better for everything. Most guys here go to the DR because the sex and other acrivities are cheap. If you are going to spend 400 bucks a day then you have reat sex here.

Well Raj25,
With Blackbeards the prices are fixed (ask the front desk) and there is always someone who can speak English and translate for you. You can be blunt with the chicas since they have heard it all from the other guys. Blackbeards is quite easy. If you do not like to leave the reservation this is the place to go. You do not need to do any homework.
As for DRnights, Oxygen and all those other places from my experience they are just ripping you off. FOD is a waste of time.
Now moving along to Costa Rica and the Del Ray. For my tastes I've found the chicas more attractive but I also moved around to the massage parlors and other places in this country so I was not limiting myself. Homework is necessary.
As for going during Christmas I cannot say. Why not email Blackbeards and ask them about chicas being around during the time you are in DR? Also, they used to have a book with the chicas pictures. I haven't been there in a while but I am guessing that they still have the book.

Thanks in advance.I was in Sosua for Christmas last year and it was extremely quiet. I was at BB a few weeks ago and concur with Boriman, you can't go wrong there. Everything is laid out for you. Food, accommodation and plenty of chicas. As he suggested, email them and ask what their rota will be like over that period. As much as chicas like to go home then, there are plenty who need cash, so I'm sure BB will keep a reasonable shift available.
Don't bother with resorts, I was considering one for my first trip to the DR last year. Almost coughed up thousands in advance, before discovering the Sosua forum. Went there instead. Best decision I've ever made. Spent 20% of what I would have at a resort and didn't want for anything.
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I will be visiting the DR from the 11 to the 16 of December. I am trying to decide if it is worth to rent a car. Rental cars are pretty cheap at less than $40 per day. I would like to visit Blackbeards, Sosua and Santo Domingo (appreciate any suggestions). I would like to explore some attractions too. While using the bus is OK with me, maybe renting a car allows me to visit more places. What do you guys thing about this?
Thanks for your recommendations.

Thanks for your recommendations.Hi and welcome to the forum.
I wouldn't. The intercity buses are excellent, very cheap and surprisingly modern and comfortable. Getting between Sosua and BB is simple by taking the publico from Sosua to Puerto Plata then getting an Uber to BB, at a total journey cost of around $5.
Yes, it's convenient to have your own car outside your hotel and not have to share or wait on taxis etc but hard to justify $200 car rental and driving round an unfamiliar country, when the other options and so cheap and simple.
I'll be in SD on the 11th. If you'll be there then, send me a pm and will be happy to grab a beer with you.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
I wouldn't. The intercity buses are excellent, ...I know buses are easy, and rental cars thus ill-advised, for the north-south Puerto Plata / Santiago / Santo Domingo corridor, but what about the Punta Cana / La Romana / San Pedro / Santo Domingo corridor along the southern coast? I'm flying into Punta Cana and I've yet to find a single reliable-looking bus company that travels that route on a non-charter basis. (I'm flying out of Santiago, so I only need one-way transportation from Punta Cana to La Romana and then Santo Domingo; I'll catch the bus north from Santo Domingo).
Anyone have input or recent experience? Gracias..

(I'm flying out of Santiago, so I only need one-way transportation from Punta Cana to La Romana and then Santo Domingo; I'll catch the bus north from Santo Domingo).
Anyone have input or recent experience? Gracias..A car is a must for me in DR. That first time of taking the bus from Boca Chica to Sosua was enough for me. A lot of people are afraid to rent cars for whatever reason. Even though you do not see many accidents, Dominicans are crazy drivers. From Punta Cana to Boca Chica there is nothing but open road though.
If you are doing a one way from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo there is around a $60 surcharge for dropping off at a different location. The farther you go the more it is supposed to be. I have rented with different companies and I have noticed that many times if I made the reservation saying that I would return it at the same place, but ended up returning it at a different place, then I was not charged the extra fee.

I know buses are easy, and rental cars thus ill-advised, for the north-south Puerto Plata / Santiago / Santo Domingo corridor, but what about the Punta Cana / La Romana / San Pedro / Santo Domingo corridor along the southern coast? Never been to Punta Cana but I am aware of a bus line called Bavaro Express that run from that area to the Capital, many times each day. I presume you can check that on the web.
On a related note, your daily rate of 40 dollars per day of rental will more than double once you added the 18% or so of taxes, airport fees and most importantly, the insurance. Personally, I drive across the island but did not do that on my maiden trip and unless you are used to driving in third world countries, I would not recommend it until you get a hang of the place. My two cents!

Anyone have input or recent experience? Gracias..It's fairly easy to make the bus connection from PUJ to Santo Domingo but first you need to supply some valuable information. Is this your first DR visit? How is your Spanish? How much luggage will you have?
I also drive frequently in the DR but never at night. It's too many traps that come out way when " gringo driving at night". From potholes that ruin wheels that you never see coming to bandits waiting for a drunk gringo. Not to mention the cops trying to get rich on a gringo slipping at night.

Not sure if it's inflation or because it's a busier time for rentals, but I haven't been able to find a one-way fee lower than $75 to $99, at least at the bigger-name rental companies. (The book-round trip trick is interesting — thanks.).
Some of the rental sites say that CDW is required in the D. R. I have credit cards that are supposed to cover rental insurance, so would that qualify, or do I need to pay for insurance anyway?
I'd only be driving from Punta Cana to the eastern edge of Santo Domingo, so maybe I'll brave it and rent a car if I can find a rental that isn't crazy expensive. Have you ever driven the highway from San Pedro to Santo Domingo after dark?
Thanks again.

Some of the rental sites say that CDW is required in the D. R. I have credit cards that are supposed to cover rental insurance, so would that qualify, or do I need to pay for insurance anyway?I rented a car 2 weeks ago at Bavaro to go to La Romana, then Boca chica, Bayahibe, and then back to Punta Cana Airport (PUJ).
I rented through the concierge service of VISA Infinite, as it is cheaper. But if you don't have such service, it's better to book your car on the website than go to the office, you'll have better price. Also be aware that once the booking is made, you can call them to have your car delivered at your place, for free. It's not explained anywhere, but they do it!
Rental car office was AVIS: very pro, and no rip off.
My car was the smallest: KIA PICANTO, with radio and aircon. Mileage was 35.000 Km, and the car was like new. Full tank at delivery.
Even with a top bank card like Visa Infinite or AMEX Platinum, you should ALWAYS take the following insurances, that are NOT covered by the bank card, wherever you go:
LIA (liability) and PAI (Personal Accident Insurance).
AVIS quoted PAI 5,50 US $ / day and LIA 16 US $/ day.
Total cost for 5 days with pickup / return different places: 275 US $, then 55 $/ day, all included.
Don't be cheap with these insurances, they can save your life!
Regarding the roads between Punta Cana and SD, they are quite desert highways, in very good conditions. The danger is to fall asleep hahaha!
MR Gogo is right: never drive at night.
I rented a car one time in the DR and will never do it again. IYou are responsible for any ding or chip which is very posible on the DR roads. I have been to the DR over 20 times and have enjoyed every trip without renting cars. Mr E once totaled a car in the DR and has done some things sane people would not consider. I use the local services and get to everywhere I need with little trouble. Caribe Tours and Metro bus are 1st rate and cheap. Most times I do not know dtirections or where to park. I like to keep things simple. To each his own.

Coral Highway?
I speak fairly good Spanish and will have one large suitcase. (Do those guaguas have storage for luggage? I know those run from La Romana and San Pedro to Santo Domingo, but in the pictures they all look like converted schoolbuses with only rooftop storage, which I have no interest in using).

But I'll keep your warning in mind if I drive further west. Does your warning apply even to the highway between San Pedro and Santo Domingo? That looks like a 75-minute drive but all on the same road, and I wouldn't be driving in Santo Domingo at all.) Thanks.

Thanks.The road is fairly new from Punta Cana to San Pedro but you also have the toll road bypasses that avoid the cities like La Romana. The toll roads are mostly deserted so have change. My advice would be to gas up and get the personal cell phone number from someone who works at the checkout counter in case of a problem. The drive is pretty smooth but watch out for hookers on the side of the road between San Pedro and Boca chica.

Hi guys,
A few questions, I'm planning a solo trip on December 17th - 24th.
First off anyone that wants to meet up and hang out let me know.
I've heard this is a down / slow time. Is that accurate? How slow is it or when exactly does it become slow? When does it get slow exactly? Will I have a few days to enjoy myself?
I understand the Dominican woman are dark, I love Latin woman, but prefer the dark olive skin to the really dark black kind. Are there any girls from other countries (Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama etc) and how rare are they?
I have read thru the thread and I am hearing different prices / Some guys are quoting $35-50 whole others are stating $80-100. What is the normal price.
Also is I'm looking for GFE action (DFK / BBBJ) what is the going rate for that and how much will or should it cost me?
Finally, I'm mainly coming for the woman, the beach and sun and to party and go clubbing.
Are there any popular clubs to meet non pros or are they all filled with working girls?
Should I stay the entire time in Sosua or should I spend a day or two at another city?
Thanks in advance!

Just be sure to have some cash on you because there are 2 toll booths.Correct. One is 100 pesos, and the other one is 60 pesos, in cash.
If you intend just to travel between main cities, Caribe Tours and Metro Bus will do the job pretty good. From La Romana to SD, the Metro bus stop is inside Casa De Campo, at the Heliport parking. 500 pesos. On the Metro website, they say 'Servicio privado', but it's just a normal mini bus, and you don't need to book or pay in advance. Make sure you are on the parking few minutes in advance, as they respect the departure time at the second!
http://www.metroserviciosturisticos.com/horarios
Between SD and Bavaro / Punta Cana, you have the Express Bavaro. It's straight without stop.
http://www.expresobavaro.com/
Yes, all these buses have huge luggage storage, just as big tour buses.
But if you intend to visit the area, for example staying at Casa De Campo to visit Altos De Chavon (very recommended, see picture) or playa Minitas or playing golf, or going to Bayahibe and stay at Playa Dominicus, you have no other choice than renting a car. I understand that you stay at La Romana. If you rented a villa at Casa de Campo, DO NOT rent a golf cart, and rent a car. Distances are big in this resort, and you won't be able to go to downtown with your cart. At La Romana, have your breakfast at La Crema Pasteleria. I recommend their Hot Chocolate. P4 P is non existent at La Romana. If you bring a chica at Casa De Campo, you MUST register her in advance. IDs are required. There is a fee of 20 US $ / day / person, including you.
When your car is delivered, make sure to take a photo of the contract, and a video of the car with the company guy, pointing every scratch / bump with your finger.
My car had a lot of them, but when I returned it, they didn't say anything. Anyway, you just don't care if you take all insurances.

http://www.metroserviciosturisticos.com/horariosThanks for the info. Oddly, that site shows buses leaving Santo Domingo for Punta Cana, but it doesn't list any times for buses leaving Punta Cana heading west. It also lists prices for buses between Casa de Campo and Juan Dolio, but no schedule. (Typical for the the. Are. , I guess.).
I figured there'd be some sort of shared shuttle from Punta Cana to La Romana / Casa de Campo at least a few times per day, where maybe five or 10 people share a van or small bus and pay $30 each or something, but I've yet to see anything like that, and I really don't want to pay $100 from Punta Cana to La Romana and then have to scramble to find a bus or car to San Pedro and then Santo Domingo.
Do those guaguas have covered luggage storage or are they all still those old converted school buses that are okay for travelers but not great for travelers with luggage? Thanks again.
If you are doing a one way from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo there is around a $60 surcharge for dropping off at a different location. ... I have rented with different companies and I have noticed that many times if I made the reservation saying that I would return it at the same place, but ended up returning it at a different place, then I was not charged the extra fee.Forgot to ask: Do you happen to remember which companies didn't charge you the one-way fee? Barring a last-minute idea or option, it looks like I'll be renting a car in Punta Cana, and I'm hoping to drop it off at one of the agencies near the Jaragua in Santo Domingo.
Thanks again.

A woman in the DR had to ask for help from police and the British Embassy -- to take this gringo's ass (arse) back to the UK. Met him online, thought she could get something out of him except she got played. He came on a one-way ticket and just lived off of her, wouldn't leave her house. Free pussies are sometimes indeed free.

UPDATE: I have just seen his name which suggests he is not English at all, but a sneaking , thieving, lying Welshman. In which case, ignore my previous remarks.

I have been to Punta Cana 3 times in the last year and have taken a girl from Russia or Ukraine all 3 times and stayed in all inclusive resorts. Majestic Elegence twice and Barcello Bavaro Beach Hotel once. I am thinking of going alone and just finding girls there. Which city or resort would be best for picking up independent girls? Decent hotels? I like the higher quality girls. I have read numerous reports about Sousa, Boco Chica, Santa Domingo, Blackbeards. It appears most guys are happy at all these places but I would like to talk with someone who really knows the DR scene. Prefer to be PM on this.

I am sure that all of us have differing opinions on what these things are, so you need to be more descriptive in what you are looking for.

Over 100,000 articles confiscated from airline passengers:
The director of the Specialized Corps of Airport Security and Civil Aviation (CESAC), Brigadier General Aracenis Castillo de Cruz, says that more than 100,000 articles have been confiscated from passengers during 2017 prior to these boarding their flights. He said that the confiscations happened during inspections of 15 million items of luggage and the checking in of 6,929,598 passengers. He said that CESAC had also been involved with other organizations in at least 80 cases of confiscation of drugs.

ATM (caja automatic) network outages in the DR are frequent. During the time I have been living here, I have found the most reliable ATM's at Scotiabank. Popular is strictly hit or miss. I have always kept a petty cash fund on hand and never let my cash get low when I really need it. On thing to focus on is keeping small denominated pesos around. Many businesses do not easily make change for you with 500 DOP notes and up.
Of course I'm so barrio (hood) and always claiming east side so that's something I have to contend with. If you running with the big peso folks in the rich areas that should not be a problem for ya. Just go into the bank and change them for smaller denominations. If you are exchanging USD that is marked up or ripped, in my experiences they will not take it.
I've used my debt card at locations such as gas stations, supermarkets, and restaurants without incident.
I didn't know about hair until recently. The rep from my Parcel / Mail courier service in Sosua, said that people who order hair or have hair shipped, have to pay taxes on that hair when it goes through customs in Santo Domingo. Apparently, Dominicans realized that hair is such a hot item, they could collect millions in pesos by putting a tax on it. I was also advised that some phone parts that are ordered may be taxed as well.I'd be interested in hearing the specifics of when this "hair tax" started. Because the information you provided is not consistent with my personal experiences with this issue in Santo Domingo nor with the information I have received from a girl with whom I have a personal relationship who actually works for DGA.
Problems always occur when people lie on legal forms and break the law. Do you homework. Figure out the system before hand. Pay the duties you owe or stay within the legal limits. Tax avoidance is legal. Tax evasion is not!

I've used my debt card at locations such as gas stations, supermarkets, and restaurants without incident.Never use a credit card or debit card at a gas station or restaurant. Your transaction may be recorded on a video camera, the technician then forwards the info to a hacker. Common here in the DR. Only bank ATM's are safe.
In over three years of living in the Dominican Republic I have not had a problem using my debt card in locations I have previously listed. Nor have any of a half dozen of my friends that live here also. Can it happen in the future? Yes. Should people use caution? Certainly!
Making an absolute statement about what should and should not be done in the Dominican Republic without presenting hard evidence is irresponsible. The only time my debt card has ever been compromised is when I used it in the United States at a Target. Planes crash all the time. Doesn't mean I'm never going to fly in first class again. At least I'll die in style. LOL!
The idea of only being able to spend what you have can be appealing, but actually, using a debit card is riskier than carrying cash. It's not great if someone steals your cash, but if someone steals your debit card, they can get to every cent in your bank account.
If you have to use a debit card, one way to limit the potential damage of theft is by setting up separate accounts. Put only enough money you need for the card in one account and keep the rest of your money — for savings and regular expenses like mortgage or rent, car payment, loans etc. — in a separate account, or accounts, so the money has a much smaller chance of being compromised.
So if you must carry a debit card, here are some common hotspots for fraud — places and situations where you should avoid using debit whenever possible. (And if you do use a debit card in these situations, make sure to check your account daily!
1. Pay at the pump.
Skimmers aren't the only danger to your wallet. The gas station will put a big hold on your account, typically for 4 days, that could cause your checks to bounce. If you must pay with debit at gas station, go inside and pay at the cashier.
RELATED: Dangers of using your debit card at the gas pump.
2. Any transaction or payment online.
Using a credit card is a much better option. If you don't get your merchandise, you can do a chargeback during a 60-day window.
3. At the supermarket.
A couple of years ago, Save Mart supermarkets were hit by criminal rings that put skimmers on the credit / debit card readers at self-check lanes in 20 Save Mart and Lucky branded locations throughout California. Very often, this particular kind of scam will be perpetrated by a crook dressed in the counterfeit uniform of the technology company that does regular routine maintenance on credit / debit card readers at a business!
4. At the car rental counter.
Pamela Yip of The Dallas Morning News found that it's standard practice (and completely legal) in the industry for car rental companies to do a hard inquiry on your credit report, often without your knowledge or consent. They're trying to protect themselves against auto thieves that love to use debit cards as a low-risk method to get rentals that they can steal. But that inquiry can drastically lower your credit score in the process. The simple solution is to use a real credit card instead.
5. When booking advanced travel.
If you have concerns about the solvency of a company you're buying future travel from, you're better off using a credit card. This holds true particularly during an economic downturn when leisure travel businesses like cruises and some airlines can go bust. Paying with credit card ensures you can do a charge-back if you don't get the travel you paid for.
While we're at it, have you considered trip insurance if you're taking a cruise, a tour, or traveling on a trip that requires prepayment of thousands of dollars?
6. When buying furniture and major appliances.
If you are ordering furniture or appliances and waiting on delivery, pay only by credit card. You reduce your risk if the store goes bust by doing that, which we saw a lot of during the housing slump when furniture and appliance retailers really took it on the chin. If you do not have your delivery within 50 days, put the credit card charge in dispute. You lose all right to any dispute after the 60th day.
7. Automatic / recurring bill payments.
Auto drafts are a favorite way of utility companies, cable companies, health clubs, burglar alarm companies and even mortgage lenders to get their money from you each month. But that business may continue to make monthly automated clearing house (ACH) debits from your account once your contract with them ends.
Although it's illegal, it does happen! And if you have a debit card attached to that account, your bank account could take a big hit before you have time to even realize it.
Learn more about how automatic bill pay works and the safest way to do it.
8. Independent ATMs.
You run the risk of skimmers. While skimmers can be found on bank ATMs, they're less likely because there are often security cameras in place.
9. At a restaurant.
Because there is such high turnover at restaurants, you don't want a dishonest employee to get hold of your digits.
10. Anywhere you are a new customer.
If you're making a purchase somewhere you've never done business before, you're better off using a credit card or cash. Until you know more about the company and trust that any potential issues will be resolved, you shouldn't use your debit card — because if a fraudulent charge does occur from there, it could make the process of getting your money back, and protecting your identity, much more difficult for you.
11. Subscriptions.
Any time you sign up for a free trial or some other subscription that charges you monthly or annually, do not use a debit card!
Let's say you cancel before the free trial ends but the company charges you anyway, if the card on file is a credit card — getting your money back will be a lot easier. Plus, you won't have to deal with a big chunk of cash suddenly missing from your checking account! This goes for any type of subscription, bill or payment that's due on a recurring basis.
If you tend to be forgetful, set a reminder for a few days before the bill is due each month — and when that reminder pops up, pay it immediately!
12. To pay for big purchases.
Using a credit card is a safer option, because if something goes wrong, you have more protections with a credit card. Plus, a lot of credit cards offer extra perks, like extended warranties, on certain purchases.
But— if you're putting a big purchase on a credit card, be sure you can pay it off before the due date to avoid paying interest, which just makes whatever you bought more expensive.
Thanks for this info. When staying in casa de campo how far in advance must you register local girl? If you find a local girl you like can you call and register on your way back to the villa? We found a villa we like and when asking about girl policy he said the same thing that they had to be registered.
Correct. One is 100 pesos, and the other one is 60 pesos, in cash.
If you intend just to travel between main cities, Caribe Tours and Metro Bus will do the job pretty good. From La Romana to SD, the Metro bus stop is inside Casa De Campo, at the Heliport parking. 500 pesos. On the Metro website, they say 'Servicio privado', but it's just a normal mini bus, and you don't need to book or pay in advance. Make sure you are on the parking few minutes in advance, as they respect the departure time at the second!

Between SD and Bavaro / Punta Cana, you have the Express Bavaro. It's straight without stop.

Yes, all these buses have huge luggage storage, just as big tour buses..
Remember it is a nation were people from the President on down do what they want. Damn the motherfucking law! I'm putting it in reverse.

Never use a credit card or debit card at a gas station or restaurant. Your transaction may be recorded on a video camera, the technician then forwards the info to a hacker. Common here in the DR. Only bank ATM's are safe.Good point, also why not go to the local bank and cashed out some DR pesos. I don't trust using my ATM over sea. In these days of tech is so easy to still CC information and crooks can easy clean out your bank account.
Why take a risk!
Focusing on not using your ATM / Debit card in different places completely misses the point. The idea that your card can only be compromised overseas is a flawed one. The only time my ATM / Debit card has ever been compromised is when I used it in the United States of America. Early on in my professional training I was taught to have two accounts. This was before online banking and smart phone apps (showing my age). But the principles still apply.
One account was connected to your ATM / Debit card. You only kept the amount you needed for basic expenditures. In the other, you kept your real money in the account that was not connected to your ATM / Debt card. That way your real money remains protected in case of a breach of your ATM / Debit card security. You can transfer money between accounts at will (that has now been made all that easier with online banking and smart phone apps). When my ATM / Debit card was compromised by the big hack. The were only able to steal a limited amount of fund because I don't keep much money in that account.
Why do I take the risk? Because due to the amount of time I spend here.
Hello all,
I am planning my 2nd trip to Santo Domingo. I stayed downtown at the Holiday Inn the last time I was there. Can anyone tell me if the Embassy Suites in Santo Domingo is chica friendly or girl friendly? At the Holiday Inn I was asked to pay an extra fee for the girl to spend the night and I'm okay with that I just want to make sure before I booked the hotel. Thank you in advance, RevJim.
High end hotls are not chica friendly. Are you in SD to monger or for business There many chica friendly hotels in the Zona colonal.

I am going to monger, this trip is pure vacation for me. I have lined up a few potential girls through various social media sites just like I did on my last visit a few years ago, funny thing is I never saw any of them that time because I met a girls in the casino and she would not leave my side for two days. I will see what happens this time.
Thanks again for your help.
Jim.

Some of those high-end hotels charge you over $100 a night. And still charge you if you have a guest. Others won't allowed your guest to come in unless you have registered her at the beginning of your stay.

Why wouldn't you take Uber instead of a taxi at more than twice the cost?I agree. He's giving you some good information. Downloading the Uber app to your phone is free. They have wifi access inside the airport. If you are arriving in SDQ, an Uber will be approximately 10 or less minutes away. The price to your destination is already known without bullshit.
Uber also gives you the car model and color, the License plate, and picture of the driver.

The country will have the first low-cost airline.
Flycana will be led by three industry entrepreneurs.
The airline formerly known as Dominican Wings announced the introduction of "Flycana", the Caribbean's first low-cost airline.
The flycana airline will have initial rates from USD 49 (plus taxes and fees) to travel by plane to different destinations such as New York. Air tickets can be purchased soon on flycana.com. Today we are proud to announce the birth of flycana as the only low cost airline in the Dominican Republic, "said Vctor Miguel Pacheco, founder of Dominican Wings.
Flycana will be led by three big industry entrepreneurs with more than 50 years of joint experience in the world of aviation: Vctor Pacheco, William Shaw and Mike Po-well.
Pachecho affirmed that in order to materialize this dream the experience brought by partners like William Shaw and Mike Powell is required.
Shaw is founder and former CEO of VivaColombia and VivaAir Peru, today known as VivaAir, he initiated and successfully managed these 2 ultra low cost airlines in Latin America that today transport more than 5 million passengers a year.
Powell, former CFO of Wizz Air, airline that transports more than 23 million passengers a year in Europe and current president of the board of flybondi, the first low cost in Argentina.
Listin Diario, the newspaper of the Dominicans. News Santo Domingo.
The Cmdr is here! Still braving personal insults from my critics to bring you informative news and insights.
Still hitting the hooka, drinking rum, and fucking the hottest of the hot chicas in Republica Dominican (Dominican Republic).
Please note for anyone that happens to be interested: I am black by popular demand. And I've always been on the dark side. I was born that way.
As you all should be aware by now, the ISG has been placed on some list where some bright bub in the USA Credit Card business is refusing to process their credit card payments for ISG memberships.
The ban may be limited to their present credit card processor, but the possibility exists that other "me too" financial agencies may follow suit.
They are asking for USA Citizens to contact their elected politicians to protest, but that will go nowhere. It is a rare individual who will stand up for mongering rights in this political climate.
But like all such schemes, there are too many ways around it to seriously interfere with the freedom we presently have on how and where to spend our own hard earned money!

Wow do you think the big companies will allow them to undercut them like that?This new airline has some heavy hitters at the top with some very serious "ultra low cost" cred. Founder William Shaw is stepping down from the leadership at Viva Air and leaving as it's president Declan Ryan, son of Ryanair co-founder Tony Ryan. Founders don't like to give up control of their babies. But as you can see these cats know what they are doing in the airline industry and Latin America.
It all depends on if the governments of the United States and the Dominican Republic lets them do their thing or if they start fucking up their program because the legacy players got the right politicians in their pocket. The founders know how to start, build and run a airline! Don't get me started on corruption because in my opinion it runs deep in both governments (although this may not be the place for The CMDR to get into politics). Although I could be wrong.

It is all part of the SP game.
If you go down there often enough, you'll get all this BS and more.
I have hung around with DR hookers and ex-hookers and they laugh about this stuff!
They themselves laugh, and wonder why it sometimes works on these Norte Americano and Canadian tourista dupes, like us. They certainly have no respect for the poor fish they catch!
If you take this shit seriously, you already have problems, and you shouldn't be out on the street alone! You are not getting the joke!
LOL.
One of my wing men is going to SD next week and Sosua later. He plans to stay with a chica he met in Sosua. She lives on a military base he believes. I advised him not to depend on a local girl for your survival. She has 2 or 3 kids and rarely are thier home up to American standards. I am coming the following week to SD. I am trying to choose which girl to spend my time with. The question is to be client or a friend with benefits. At my age this is a woderful problem to have.

Hello guys,
I am new to posting in this forum, been reading it for a while.
Can you please help me decide between the Dominican Republic or Colombia? I'm planning a trip next year. I am not interested in beaches, but I wouldn't mind going to a seaside destination, as long as the mongering scene is good there. I will have a wingman, and he's willing to go wherever I choose.
Please, if possible, explain why one destination is better than the other.
Last question: How much money should I take for a 5 day trip? Which cities do you recommend? I was thinking Medellin or Santo Domingo.
Thanks a bunch!

My first trip to the DR is coming up in January. I'll try to pay it back with a report here, but in the meantime, does anyone have a tailor they recommend? SD is the easiest, although if someone highly recommends a tailor somewhere else that might be helpful. I'd like to have a couple of suits made while I'm there, assuming the price is right. For what it's worth, I'm functional in Spanish.

Thanks a bunch!Pending your reply about your Spanish and experience, I will offer the following. If your Spanish is poor, and your experience is nil, or very limited, I would suggest using one of the controlled venues in each country as your introduction. In the DR, that means BlackBeard's (BB) in Costambar, just west of Puerto Plata. In Colombia, that would be the "Mansion" in Medellin. Both offer controlled environments, with "pre-screened" girls, fixed prices, good security environment, etc. You can venture out occasionally to familiarize yourself with other areas for future use. You can check both on their respective threads. Also BB has a website you can view, and a monthly newsletter, with news, photos of girls, etc.
Sosua has every thing you need. Several hundred women wating for you money. Great food and accomodations. Fellow mongers who can help keep you.

I have made several trips to the DR, mostly Sosua, Cabarete, but also Santo Domingo. I am hoping to spend 3 weeks in the DR soon. In addition to the usual activities, I would like to mix in some wiling non pros, or very semi pros to spend a few days at a time with. I wondered what might be the best city, area for this. Any info appreciated.
Brand new to the site and wanted to see if anyone has any advice.
So I am booking my very first trip over to the DR and was really interested in staying at Blackbeards. Of course, in the time between getting my flights and receiving the booking information, the room was taken for 3 of the 7 nights I have planned there. I plan on staying at Blackbeards for the days they have available but does anyone have any suggestions on where to stay on the other nights that may be similar or better?
Doing my first trip to the DR coming next month and planned to stay at Blackbeards. Unfortunately, a few nights are already booked out. Still going to start my stay there but was wondering if anyone here has any advice on a similar venue nearby for those nights they are booked out? Sorry in advance if this is double posted. My first post seems to have vanished.

My first post seems to have vanished.The only place that is similar to Blackbeards on the North Coast is Oasis Adult Resort on the other side of Puerto Plata. Formerly called Field of Dreams (see separate thread below). It has had had many changes of management and both good and bad phases, but a lot more bad than good.
In February this year it had a makeover and a change of name to Oasis. We have had no reports since. The quality of chicas' appearance was at least as good as at Blackbeards but we do not know how they perform. Prices are higher than Blackbeards. Food and customer service were usually inferior, hopefully improved lately?
Your other option would be to stay in Sosua and find freelance chicas. Or if you are reasonably young and good-looking and can dance, stay in Puerto Plata and frequent the night-clubs which are not so obviously venues for full-time working girls as those in Sosua.

I dropped by the Oasis Adult Resort last April and even though I have never stayed there the setup is similar to BB although it appears to be more expensive. There were several old Blackbeard girls there that mooched drinks off me.
Depending if the days you can not book are on the beginning or end of your vacation may make a difference since you could do an Airbnb or stay at the Atlantic One if you are at the end of the stay. You could just arrange to have a BB girl come visit you after they get off work or when they are not working. If at the beginning of the vacation, Oasis Adult Resort could be a good option since this is your first trip.
Typically, I start my vacation spending a couple days in Sosua and finish at BB since I typically fly out of Santiago. Sosua could be a good option if you are not at BB at the end of your seven days.
Greetings gents,
Wishing you all a happy new year.
I will be heading down to Sosua next week for 1 week. Still nothing booked. I have joined DominicanCupid and have lined up many beauties in the Sosua / Puerto Plata area (telephone numbers). I haven't made any official arrangements with any of them, and without being too obvious to them, I think they understand what I am looking for. One girl asked me how much am I willing to pay her and her friend. I still haven't responded. BTW, is it preferable to arrange fees over DominicanCupid or do you suggest I do it more in person. Some of these girls are as far as 50 km away from Sosua. So I am not sure if I should expect to pay for their travel to Sosua. I hope not.
I want to potentially see as many beauties as possible (day and night), but I also kinda want that "all-inclusive beachfront hotel with buffet" in my life, of which the Marina Reef is available at a reasonable price. I kinda like waking up alone and not having to worry about a chica there all the time. I enjoy good food too.
I know that such all-inclusive don't allow chicas to come back to the room. But I was thinking that perhaps I can still book at the all-inclusive and go on daytime excursions with some chicas to this Dulce Secreto place whenever I have the need; or if you fellas are aware, are there are other options for short term rooms in the area at reasonable rates?
My second option is to book, say at CasaValeria, and at least have my breakfast included (most important meal of the day) and wing it the rest of the day in regards to lunch and supper. I really don't want to get sick with the runs. Are there any good restaurant recommendations close to casa Valeria or in Sosua beach?
At least with Valeria, I can bring chikas back to the room at no extra cost, as many times as I want.
I also want to get some threesome action going? Is that feasible with chikas, or is it dangerous?
I have zero experience outside of north america and although I am quite experienced and very alert (I don't drink or smoke) and I am a dominant type, I understand that there is an inherent risk to my security by having multiple women, or at least that is what I was told by the person at Valeria who confirmed that they have a firm policy against bringing in 2 chicas into the room, because according to them, the girls can rob me easier, which I totally understand.
Your opinions will make a huge impact on my decision making process. Thanks in advance.
Also, what are the rates I should be looking at for ST vs. LT; and how many hours do they each entail.
FYI, although I am a dom by nature, I am very kind and gentlemanly. So, yeah, I also don't want to fall into any classic chika traps.
Thanks for fielding these Questions, boys. Looking forward to contributing.
Happy New Year once again.

I hope not.Yes, you should pay for their transport ida e vuelta but public transport is very cheap in the DR so this should not cost you more than a few dollars, For example, Puerto Plata to Sosua is 25 kms and the fare is one dollar each way, so they could arrive for 10 dollars return trip from anywhere within 50 kms. If they try to stiff you for 50 dollars for a taxi you have picked the wrong girl!

If they try to stiff you for 50 dollars for a taxi you have picked the wrong girl!50? They will try to get you for 100! It is in their nature. Then when you tell them that Caribe Tours is only 400 pesos from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo they will say they need money for a taxi to get to the bus station, money to get their hair and nails done, money for new clothes to look good for you, and money to eat on the way to see you. And somehow all this adds up to $100. Then when you tell them to just wear something they already have or that you plan to go to the beach so no need to do hair etc, they get angry and call you cheap as if that is supposed to make you feel guilty or ashamed.
If you are not renting a car and driving to see them then it is best to just deal with the chicks that are in the area that you are in. That way you don't get stuck with someone you don't like anyway. If you have a car you can just tell them you gotta go meet your buddy in whatever town now and leave.

Its not a deal breaker, but would help a great deal in negotiating or reaching an understanding of what you want from a session with a chica. Many chicas have acquired some English, but some do not. A quick check of this thread shows that a Short Time (ST) averages about 2000 pesos, or 40 bucks. Negotiation and chemistry determine how long that ST is. Typically, a girl wants to scoot after your climax, since she is there to earn money, and you aren't paying her by the hour. Some may linger, depending on the chemistry.
Some of the more recent Sosua visitors on the board may offer advice on the all-inclusive versus "revolving door guests" problem.
Though experienced, you note that you have zero experience outside of North America. Be aware that cruising Sosua, you will find plenty of women, but you may also find a full spectrum of experiences, good and bad. Some are hardened pros, some are sweet newcomers. Some will give you the GFE, some will change their demands, and scam you. On the street, its 'Buyer Beware. ' Try to reach an understanding IN ADVANCE of what you are looking for, before you take the girl to your room.
Unless you are dead set on Sosua, consider splitting the time between Blackbeard's and Sosua. "Expert mongers" often dismiss it as "shooting fish in a barrel. " (Depends on you and what you want. Are you there for the "fishing" experience, or to consume as much fish as possible during your short vacation).
Blackbeard's is not all inclusive, but the room rates (60-70/ night) are lower than the all-inclusives, and the prices for meals are very reasonable.
For a guy with no DR experience (and no Spanish?) its a good way to get your feet wet in a quality-controlled environment. The girls have to apply to work there, have to comply with rules of behavior / standards of performance, and druggies, thieves, are banned. Likewise, the girls get medical checkups for STDs on a monthly basis. You also have management on site, to assist you, and to take your complaints, if any. You can also set up a threesome, known as a "Happy Hour" with the "mama-san" on site. She can help you find the chicas that fit that bill. (Hint, after finding a bi-sexual chica to start, have her suggest a second girl. This usually results in a much better experience than you picking girls that aren't into that setup).
Not sure how much time you have, but doing both, Sosua and BB's, is not a bad introduction.
My two cents.

Like you said, go to the zoo (BB) to get familiar with the animals. But since you have gone all the way to Africa, you also want to experience a safari (Sosua) where the animals roam wild.

I will be heading down to Sosua next week for 1 week ... have lined up many beauties in the Sosua / Puerto Plata area (telephone numbers).
I am not into telephonic dating myself (cannot beat assessment in the flesh) but that sounds fairly harmless.
Some of these girls are as far as 50 km away from Sosua.
Bad idea. Your first trip, for one week only, so why make things complicated? There are hundreds of chicas in Sosua to pick from and hundreds more within a 25 km radius.
At least with Valeria, I can bring chikas back to the room at no extra cost, as many times as I want.
I also want to get some threesome action going? Is that feasible with chikas, or is it dangerous?
Casa Valeria is a great hotel with good food, but if I remember correctly you can take only one girl at a time to your room.
Keep the comments coming boys. I truly appreciate you and look forward to providing you with my reports. I have also had experience in Thailand (2 months) and I believe I provided many reports here under another moniker which I forgot my username and password (that's why I had to re-register LOL).
Unfortunately, Casa Valeria only has a partial broken-up week available for me, and at that, I must switch rooms every couple of nights, which may get annoying. I may still book there. I am indecisive.
I also may just stay at an all-inclusive beach front and only go out for adventures when I am in the mood for play. To be honest, I can see myself wanting zero action on some days and just relax at the hotel's beach and profit from the consistent hotel buffets. However, when I do get aroused (which I can see happening 3 to 5 times during the week), I will want to hook up with someone; either someone from the street or bars, or one of these Dominican Cupid girls, of which I have about 10 serious cute slender beauties lined up and blowing up my phone as we speak.
Only thing is, I am kinda scared to get down to the nitty gritty over whatsapp, and scared to discuss numbers and what services they can provide, etc. Is there any danger in discussing such things over whatsapp? I am a bit naive when it comes to apps & internet security. Please enlighten me fellas.
So, I guess, my main question is: are there reasonably-priced casas that I can rent for 1 to 2 hour quickies? I saw a youtuube clip of some dude named Costarica Joe, who spoke highly of Dulce Secreto (DS). Honestly, I got turned on by the room he was in, which boasted a big bed, with huge mirrors on the wall (I am very visual) and a big sofa. Has anyone tried this DS place? Can I just go there with a cab with 1 or 2 chikas and pay for a room? Costarica Joe mentioned that you can book for 4 hrs. Any other good options besides DS?
I contacted Blackbeard's but they have very little availability. Also, over the years, I have seen some photos of the women there and a lot of them are the more buxom and older chika. Personally, I am more turned on by petite and really slender chikas in the 19 to 24 age range. I love nylons and hosiery, so they usually.
Look much hotter on slender women. I will also bring many stockings for these girls to wear for me in private.
These whatsapp messages (girls sending me hot photos), actually turn me on. I like a little build up like this. Although I am totally down to just spot a chika on the street and negotiate right away and go to a room, I also like a little anticipation and playfulness. And the whatsapp communications are feeding that need of mine. Of course, I understand that I can also be setting myself up for a disappointment in person.
I already had one chika tell me she wants to come and see me, but that she needs to pay someone to watch her kids (insinuating that I should pay). Arghhh. I am not a cheap skate, but I don't like to be played with (turns me off). I have a feeling that I will be saying no a lot on this trip. Hope it doesn't affect the quality of service I get. I really would like to deal with submissive sweet obedient girls.
I know that I am a bit all over the place, but one last thing: I have always fantasized about doing it outdoors during the day in the countryside. Somewhere where we can spread a blanket and just go at it with no stress. Costarica Joe mentioned that next to Dulce Secreta, there is a countryside where you "can have an orgy" and no one would see you. That idea really turns me on. Would live to fulfill a relaxed outdoor scenario.
Love you fellas.

Love you fellas.If you wind up at the all inclusive, then Dulce Secreto is a great option. As described, and more than you would expect, 10 minutes from town. (As at 6 months ago!
All the amenities of a real hotel room, and auto room service, if you like a drink with your session.

Hey fellas,
Was wondering if I could run a few questions by the Sosua veterans here.
1. I'm flying into POP and flying out of STI. The plan is to stay in Sosua until Sunday, then leave mid-Sunday via a bus to Santiago and staying there for a night so I am close to STI to catch my flight Monday morning. Is this a decent plan or should I eat the cost of flying out of POP and just book my return flight out of POP, too? Hoping to maybe monger the one night I have in Santiago, too.
2. I am booking this trip on a bit of an impulse, so I didn't have a chance to learn any Spanish before I head down to Sosua. Is knowing no Spanish OK? What phrases should I know if I have to know some Spanish?
3. Suggestions on lodging? Am a light sleeper, but I am interested in Europa because seems like it's a great value for the price and hoping that if a chick tries to scam me / upcharge in the room, hopefully the security will have my back if I tip him?
4. Have read that a few Sosua veterans like to have all negotiations on WhatsApp so they have text proving a chica agreed to a set price for certain agreed upon activities once she's in your room. Is this an adequate method of defending yourself from being upsold by a chica in the room? Any other means of making sure a chica sticks with the agreed upon price and provides the agreed upon service?

To be honest, I can see myself wanting zero action on some days and just relax at the hotel's beach and profit from the consistent hotel buffets.Said buffet will be nothing to write home about.
Only thing is, I am kinda scared to get down to the nitty gritty over whatsapp, and scared to discuss numbers and what services they can provide, etc. Just say how much do I need to give you when you come see me. That will tell you where her head is.
You should be more scared not to discuss it. These Dominican broads will switch on you. I'm talking to this doctor chick in Moca. First she said she did not need a man for money. A couple of days ago she said her and her mom were going out of town. I said it is good and to have fun. A few minutes later after talking about other things she said that she thought I would offer to send her money when she mentioned going out of town. I said no I would not do that. When I met you you told me you did not need a man for money. Things have not really been the same since. Seems some of her enthusiasm has gone!
If dollars say fly out of Santiago I understand. Usually the departure times are terrible. I like staying at Sosua Suits. They will pick you up at the airport and are the closest to the action. GREat security and near evverything you need. You get a one room appartment a bit dated but the price is very decent. English is not an issue there are expats who have lived there for years who speak little spanish. Avoiding problem girls is luck of the draw when you are a newby. The problem girls are very aggressive in most cases and new guys are easy targets for them. The good news is most of the girls are very nice and will provide good service when treated right.

Any other means of making sure a chica sticks with the agreed upon price and provides the agreed upon service?Flying from Santiago is a bad deal unless you want to check out the scene there. Yes, there are bars and you can get girls although not so much in your face as Sosua. I had flown in and out of Santiago couple of times but I always rent a car. Flight timings in Santiago for cheap flights are in the middle of the night. I had a girl there before who will meet me at the airport. POP is convenient for mongering In Sosua. When you are mongering you need to eat extra expenses for convenience.
If you are looking for online hook ups knowing basic Spanish is necessary. In Sosua bars where the girls hang out you do not need any Spanish. Over the years I have learned discussion about kind of service does not mean anything although I know Spanish. Some do good service and some do not depending on the girl. It is not as if she needs the rating. If you have a phone punch in the amount you want to pay and see if the girl agrees. Una hora means one hour, Dos horas means two hours. For overnight toda la noche. Mentally figure out how much you are interested in offering. Time does not mean anything for these girls. If they like you they do not look at the watch. Irrespective of the deals you made they can renege on it. If you need help there are plenty of mongers in the bar who will help you.
I like Alicia beach hotel which is away from the main road and quiet. Remodelled rooms are nice. Europa is on the main drag and noisy. If you read through the reports you see reviews on many other hotels. Do not expect any hotel security to take your side in any eventuality.
Large percentage of girls are pretty good once you agreed on the price. There are some bad apples who will try. At that point security can help but I suggest you settle it yourselves. Be firm but if the arguments get beyond and police are called you are going to loose irrespective of you think you are right. Do not let the thought of this happening kill your vacation. By and large more and more mongers come to Sosua and have a good time. Many if they overpay because the girl reneged on the deal will not say anything. Only time you hear is if the disagreement gets up a scale and police are called. You are on vacation and mongering is an expensive proposition. Deal with it. Like anywhere else people will scam you one way or another and especially if you are in a foreign country.
Enjoy!

Yes, there are available women, but the women are not pursuing you. It would take a little conversation. Your overnight accommodations? In a large hotel, expect to pay. Those that have casinos may have a few girls looking for clients. I would not expect much for a first time in STI.
No Spanish? Renting a car? Have any experience driving in the DR? Ever seen a motoconcho in traffic? Ever driven the road from STI to Puerto Plata / Sosua? Brave fellow.
If there are any problems being a light sleeper, I suggest bringing some foam earplugs. Very handy when trying to sleep under challenging conditions.
I checked American fares from my city, and the difference was close to 500 dollars. (God, I hate American Airlines). The departures from STI that I saw were all morning departures, so an early wake up, with little time for late night hijinks. At least the departures from POP are afternoon.
Traveling from POP to STI, you will lose a day, plus rental cost. (Consider a Caribe Tours bus from Sosua to Santiago, then cab to the hotel. You can probably get a ticket without too much confusion). A late morning departure, late afternoon arrival in STI, get settled, dinner, a few drinks near the Monument, that serves as the Santiago social center, then back to the hotel. (Arrange for a cab the night prior).
Its a real bite to pay the extra 500, but you'll have to decide if the extra day and more leisurely departure are worth it.
Any body interested to monger together in April or May.
I know the Sosua and Santo Domingo area well with intermediate Spanish and Hindi.
I am only regular member here. So be patient.

I am booking this trip on a bit of an impulse ... You are having a laugh. You have been asking these questions for a month on this board and at least two others. Nothing wrong with that because our replies may be useful to other newbies, but you are the least spontaneous monger I have ever come across.
I had a German acquaintance once who got up to go to work in Hamburg. He looked out of the window at the freezing rain and said "fuck that, I am off the the DR" (except that he said it in German). Two days later he was here and resigning his job by telephone. That is what I call "on impulse" (would have been next day had a flight been available).
My overall impression of your dozens of posts here and elsewhere is that you do not have enough money to enjoy your trip. You might be better to wait until you do instead of blowing your present kitty on a half-assed holiday and having to start saving again from scratch for a decent one. Don't worry, the chicas will still be here. 100,000 turn 18 every year.
Using STI as a departure or arrival to go to the Sue is a page out of my book. The flights directly into POP can get pricey. For instance a Flight from my area to Puerto Plata runs about a little over 1000. However if I fly into Santiago I'm saving about $500. A cab ride from Santiago to the Sue is about $75-$100. Its about an hour and a half ride. Or $20 from the airport to the bus station and less than 300 pesos for a bus ride to the Sue. It's about $40 if you use Uber directly from STI to the Sue.
Depending the time your plane departs and how long you plan on being there are some contributing factors, but if you can work it you're saving hundreds of dollars. Thats money could be spent on more meaningful things like more sessions with Chicas. I've did it as well as many others. I even have a man and Santiago if you like his number. He's a cab driver that works for a company. I like Uber it's cheaper and better because Uber is ready when you are.
Sometimes I just fly into POP and out of Santiago depending on the time and ticket price. Remember you can have the Uber driver take you right from your place in the Sue to the airport without you having to stay in Santiago. You know what time your flight is and what time you have to be at the airport so just plan accordingly. Give yourself a couple hours of window time. Everyone here is giving you their opinion and good advice. Enjoy yourself! That's the whole purpose of a vacation.

Saving about $600 flying into Santiago, but the hours suck both leaving and arriving. I wouldn't do it for a short trip.

I acknowledge that it's not necessarily that "impulsive" if I have committed a couple of months to research, but that's impulsive for me as I typically commit a lot more time in advance researching for vacations and other commitments that will require a fairly substantial sum of money (substantial for me, I get that there are high rollers here that would scoff at my budget). I just hate the idea of being in a tough situation that could have been avoided if I had done my due diligence in research. I believe I am probably just over-worrying about stuff. Thanks to all the people for being patient with my incessant questions. Hope you fellas have a great vacation as well when you land in the DR.
