Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Berthold][QUOTE=Sexmachine1] We sat down at a bar just before Siempre Sol. It is called ‘Callate’ and it is owned by a Canadian named Ernesto. An amazing guy. Fun to sit and chat with. We sat there for a couple of hours and had some beers.

Ernesto is a retired cop from Canada, you can easily spot him because he has a tiger tattoo on his forearm. If i recall right he even wrote a book and made a documentation about the p4p scene in Sosua, and he has his own website.
Just like Herman he is a great source of information about the D.R. in general.[/QUOTE]Do you happen to have the website address, the title of the book or any info to access the site?

Thanks

Good she back on my "to bone list"

[QUOTE=Ehunter]I have placed a new map of Sosua showing the location of the chica friendly hotels as well as other points of interest. The new posting is located in the Sosua Hotels thread. So if you are new to Sosua and planning a trip I suggest you have a look: [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?t=2758[/url][/QUOTE]Just many thanks for this great work of you.

Maybe you can put Hotel Orchidee as well on the map, just post it a bit up from rockys. Its chica friendly and quiet. I will be there again in April. The manager is a older german guy.

[QUOTE=Skyguy7505]Just returned back from my first trip to Sosua, DR. This was my 6th monger trip internationally and was proceeded by 1 trip to Bangkok & Pattaya, 2 trips to San Jose and 2 trips to Rio. I was anxios to visit Sosua to see how it compared to my other trips.

I'm currently trying to find some good airfare deals for a trip late March. Anybody heading that way during that time?

Skyguy7505[/QUOTE]Just a great story thks. Well I will be the hole April in Sosua. Doing some work, learning some more Spanish and so.

I just returned from Sosua and there is a new bar called Jose McMurphys Irish Pub. On the same street as New Garden and 50 feet from the main Street. The owners are gringos and the food is very good. Wasnt the typical hooker bar with no chicas hanging at the bar. I often needed a break from the pressure so this was my little escape.

Greetings,

I'm glad some of you enjoyed my report and hope it was helpful. I enjoyed thinking back on the good times while I was writing it. Fortunately, I think I found a deal on some airfare to return back around Easter.

Just wondering if anybody has anything on Estudio apartments. Its just around the corner from New Garden, heading towards Happy Hour. I checked it out a bit on my last trip, but didn't get to see actual rooms.

Thanks

Hey SkyGuy
You had GOOD dental work done there? Can you pass along the info?

This "Irish Sports Bar" was just opening up when I left. It's on Calle DR Rosen, just past Rocky's, closer to Calle Pedro Clisante, on the same side of the street. Hard to miss it with all the green, even the sidewalk. Had a chat or two with the owner who is an okay guy. Pretty decent sound system, and a long bank of TVs over the bar. Might be an alternative to Eddy's, or just a nice spot to drop by for a beer.

And don't let the name fool you, he even played a few of the NFL playoff games.

Bahia Boy,

Yes, GOOD dental work. I was referred to him by a Canadian that spends sustantial time in Sosau. I was a little leery at first, but the dentist was trained in NY. He has the same equipment as in the states, but the office itself isn't actually comparable to American standards, but who cares, right? He got me in on a Sunday as well. He saved me hundreds. I plan on visiting him again in March when I return.

Walking out of New Garden, I took a left. Take that street (Dr. Rossen st) all the way to where it T's into the other street. His office is there to the left and upstairs. He has a sign there, and I beleive the building is painted a light blue. There is a stairway going up to the office.

Greetings,

Any mongers currently in Sosua now? I'm trying to get a little info on the Estudio Apartments just around the corner from NG.

Thanks!

Sosua Review.

The Hotel.

Stayed at the Casa Marina, which is comfortable and well located. The hotel has two entrances, one over by (Calle) Bruno and Calle David Stern. This is next to the boutique hotel Sosua by the Sea. The other entrance is on Calle Alejo Martinez and across from the baseball diamond.

The facilities are well maintained, with a great beach. Food was good, and the staff very friendly. Since I got a last minute sell off, my entire package was about the same as what I would have to pay for a flight and a hotel room at the New Garden (US$ 50 a day). So, I had free food and drink for the inconvenience of a not guest friendly hotel. Worth the trade off, and a good way to go for your first trip. If you want to do an overnight, you can always rent a room at New Garden or Rocky’s, or see what a second bracelet for a day would cost for a guest. There are short-stay alternatives, including Calypso which is on Calle Ayuntamiento, just a few buildings past the Super Super liquor store. About 300DRP (9-10 US$) for 2 hours.

Exchange Rates.

Breezed through customs with only a short wait for my baggage. There’s a counter to exchange currency at the airport. I exchanged $50 US and was given 30DRP to the dollar. This was actually a better rate than if I had exchanged a little less. Take a few small American bills for tips at the airport, cab, and hotel check in, unless you will arrive too late to exchange currency in town before you need it.

Rates in the town were better. Best rate I could get was 33.5 and then 33.6 DRP to the US$ at the Banco Santa Cruz, and I did check a few of the banks. This is the bank at Petdro Clisante and Calle Ayuntamiento, across the street from the Super Super liquor store. If you exchange at the bank, take a photo id (passport is best). The street vendors usually offered 33 to the dollar, but I did not try to haggle.

By the way, there is an exchange counter on the way back, after you clear security at the airport. 34DRP to buy a US$. (Hmmm, buy at 30 to one, sell back at 34 to one. That's more than a 10% spread on the rates.) All the prices at the airport in the duty free are in US$. You also need US for the $20 departure tax. I ended up not buying at the duty free, so I returned home without DR rum, and just kept some DRP for my next trip.

Local Hang outs.

Lots of good places to hang out in the village, including the patio of the cigar shop across from Classico’s (on Clisante between DR Rosen and Duarte), the cigar/coffee shop on Duarte, and the Britannia ub, again on the main stretch of Clisante. Also liked Bailey’s, on Aielo Martinez just past DR Rosen and near the small park by Duarte.

For sports entertainment, try either Eddy’s on Calle Ayuntamiento (I had a good time there watching an NFL match; it’s a laid back kind-a place), or the new Pedro McMurphy’s Irish Sports Bar on DR Rosen near Clisante. Also, lots of bars on the beach. I also dropped by for a beer at a bar a little west of Sea Crests bar/disco on the south side of Clisante. It’s only about three or four spots down, if I remember correctly. (This may even have been Shark bar, but I didn’t catch the name.)

Massage.

Tried two massage places, no happy endings. Over by Sousa by the Sea, Calle David Stern and Calle Bruno, is a spa in the plaza. Good massage there, 500 DRP for an hour.

Also, over by Banco Popular, on Calle Alejo Martinez is M & M massage. 600 DRP for the hour. However, time I was there, I checked my watch before and just after session. Time was closer to 45 to 50 minutes (at most).

Also tried Passion’s Bar and Spa at the east end of Pedro Clisante. They have a menu listing all the services available. 1 hour massage is 900 DRP; I opted for the soapy shower massage at 1300 DRP which is supposed to include a body slide and lots of soap. Save the extra money, not a bubble or water droplet to be seen, and attendant did a very basic back rub and wanted to start the main event and get it over with in short order. I would not repeat, but the place had a legion of die-hard fans here on the site. If you must go, save the extra cash and just pay for the basic. And don’t be surprised if you’re back on the street in less than 45 minutes.

Hope this helps, if only the newbies.

Dude,

If you got 30 pesos to the dollar you got jacked. The exchange rate is about 33.7 or 33.8 right now. You are just giving money away.

Hi,

I have just posted a general info trip report on Sosua - in the General Info section of the DR forum.

Guys and Girls,

Never change money at an airport There are places all over Sosua that will give you close to the daily exchange rate.

Cap!

I have had a lot of work done by a female dentist in Puerto Plata and I am very pleased with it. I had better not post her name and phone number here as she might not like it, but if you pm me, I will give you her office number and location, if you want. She speaks fairly good English.
