Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=Almond812;2655180]I have no grasp of the Spanish language, and I also don't drink (I'm a friend of Bill W.).[/QUOTE]The only bill and language that matters around here is Dollar Bill. Bring him with you and you won't have any problems.

Hey fellas,

Just looking for some advice. On a hunch based on reading some of the forum I decided to go to the Dominican republic starting this Saturday for 10 days. I'll be coming to Santo Domingo international hotel and my schedule is wide open. I have not booked any hotels as of yet. Was curious if you guys could help me out with girl friendly hotels in Santo Domingo and / or Chicka Boca. Any other advice on Mongering and success with the ladies as welcome. Also, was curious on where is the best place to do currency exchange? Thanks in advance salud.

Thinking about going down to SD for superbowl weekend, just a little short trip to see one of my girls there. Does anybody know if there is a place to catch the superbowl there?

Read the forum, man.

[QUOTE=Darelax;2654065]I ask myself the same question, I don't understand how there are people who meet girls on Facebook, someone please explain it to me.[/QUOTE]It does take some work but once you have a good group of Santo Domingo "friends" (for example), Facebook does the work for you. They send you possible new connections to make. Be sure to send a little wave to each new connection and watch the magic happen. I'm down in Puerto Plata currently and doing two chicas a day. All are from FB.

I am considering a first time visit to DR, specifically Santo Domingo and Las Terrenas in Sabana. Usually, this time of year during non Covid times you would find me in Thailand or somewhere else in SEA or Indonesia. However, due to Thailand's rather strict Covid protocol policies this winter, their closing of many entertainment venues, and what I have read about the overall malaise that appears to exist there, I decided it's time to expand my horizons.

Upon my arrival, I am looking at staying at a rather unique accommodation in the colonial center, however, it appears by the owners comments in their description that they only allow registered guests. Since I would only stay three or four nights, it's not a big deal but would still like to taste the fruits of Santo Domingo's finest nevertheless.

I was pleased to see reading back a few pages about several strip clubs and / or bars with chicas. They are called Foxy's, Odette, Oasis, and GBP to name a few, but could not find a lot of detail, except for GBP where apparently the quality and rooms are rather suspect. Due to Covid, I am not sure if these places are even open or if there are additional places I should add to this short list. Needless to say, I don't want to stray to far afield from the colonial centro and don't want to stumble into rip off places either if there are some that should be avoided. I did read on here that Calle El Conde is the area to go, however, on my Google map it says the area is “permanently closed”. Not sure what this is about or is there another similar area to visit?

If any of you have visited Las Terrenas, I would appreciate any comments on the mongering opportunities there. One thing is I plan to return to Santo Domingo from Terrenas for the last week of Marci Gras around March 1 (Fat Tuesday) and for the parade on March 6th. Near as I can tell, the parade is still taking place. But, is it worth being there for Fat Tuesday or the final parade? I would stay at a hotel for this time period if anyone has recommendations on places close to the action. Thanks.

Perhaps, it means pedestrian only zone?

[QUOTE=Tomasb;2658911]Perhaps, it means pedestrian only zone?[/QUOTE]That's it! Exactly!

Very valid points Mr. E. I would hate sitting in traffic cooling my heels while my foreheads drips from tropical perspiration. I did not know about this Piantini area until recently and was considering it mainly because it seemed to offer nicer accommodations (AIR BnB) at a cheaper price. However, overall, it appears that Zona Colonial is the place to be especially for a first timer. I seem to read you are in Pattaya now but there is no way I am going to endure a 24 hour journey to Thailand and find myself testing positive with asymptomatic conditions and then get shuffled off to a hospital prison for ten days. The risk might be small but still not worth it.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2637120]Sorry about that. Yes. In my opinion you made a bad choice. When chicks find out you are staying there then they will want more money simply on the basis that you are staying in that area. Also, whenever you want to go somewhere you are going to have to deal with hella traffic. Maybe you had your place booked before you read that people from this site tend to stay closer to Zona Colonial or maybe you need to stay in Piantini for other reasons. Right now at midnight on Satudrday night google maps shows it is 16 minutes from Piantini to Zona Colonial. During the day it is subject to take from 40 minutes to 1 hour. Whenever I consider staying in that area I pinch myself and say fuck that. I always rent a car and have no desire to sit in that traffic whenever I want to go somewhere or head back to homebase.[/QUOTE]

Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, DR do not have all that BS and you do not see a rash of foreigners laying up in the hospitals because they brought covid with them. With my luck I will get positive on day 5 and be stuck in jail. My boy is going next week so I will just send 6 more months rent money with him.

I like Piantini area. They have nice restaurants. But battling that traffic in the daytime is not fun. When I am there it is usually at night taking a chick to dinner after the traffic has settled. The other guy never reported his experience there. Also, you may need a car there. I don't know if Ubers and taxis are just floating around as they are in ZC.

Last week when I was in Santo Domingo everything was open. I went by GBP on Monday. It was a holiday and there were only 4 chicks working. None of them appealed to me so I ended up getting the bartender's number. She was bullshitting around though and was only trying to make me come back to the bar. Seemed like she was retarded from her messaging. No place that I went asked to see a vaccine card.
