Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Capt Dps]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![/QUOTE]

You should not change money INSIDE the airport at Puerto Plata, but there is a Banco de Reservas on the outside concourse of the airport where you can get a fair rate of exchange.

Incidentally the same applies in the US. If you change money at the change places inside the airport at Miami, they offer the most absurd rates of exchange at, like, 20% discount.

If you arrive at the weekend (Sunday)when the bank is closed there are street money changers hanging at the airport. They will find you. Alternatively if you take a taxi to Sosua, you can ask the taxi driver to swing by somewhere to change money on the way to the hotel. There is a change place almost next to the Hotel Europa, if you are staying there, and also an ATM half a block away at Scotia Bank.

Remember that 33 pesos as opposed to 30 pesos might not sound like a whole lot of difference, but if you were paying a 10% surcharge on everything on your trip, you would certainly notice it on your bottom line. If you do have to make an exchange at a bad rate, just change the minimum needed at the time--though I can't see that you would ever need to, because ATMs are always available.

[QUOTE=Negro562]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.[/QUOTE]

I just exchanged today at the supermarket and got 33.8 per USD

just a few obsevations from my last week. early in the week alot of **** girls ply their trade, because they can't compete with the weekend pro's. always check cedula. the traffic pattern has changed from my trip last month, more one way streets. also saw alot of hells angels in the clubs in mass numbers. jet blue is flying non-stop to pop from jfk, the newyork boys are coming down 15 to 20 deep, they had so many chicas around them youd thought jay-z was there. the peso was 33. 90 last week in cabarette. sosua has gotten so much exposure that its just a matter of time before a major negative situation explodes. alot of nice chicas can be had on the out scirts, that would never go to sosua.

Last week in Sosua.

Does anyone know any good villas in Sosua besides Casa Linda around the $150.00- $200.00 a day mark?

The front desk at Europa will change to pesos at the interbank rate as well, but good luck trying to change back to dollars or euros.

A fun place

I am surprised that I didn't read about MPs in any threads. I went back almost a month and no mention. Maybe this is the first report.

When you come out of the New Garden make a right and cross the corner. A few doors down is the thatched roof MP. A few more feet down the street on the opposite side is another MP.come back to the corner and make a right and go a little way and there is another MP.

The price is DP300 for 30 minutes and DP500 for an hour. This includes BBBJ. The thatched roof place had chunky but doable chicas and all had good attitudes.

At these prices, I think it is only proper to give a tip but I made sure that the girls knew they would get a tip if they removed their clothes. The one in jeans would only remove her top and claimed to be a virgin. Great little ta-tas.

I know of several others around the beach area also. Starting out the day with a $9 BJ is very nice.

OBTW, carry small bills as the chicas will not get the tip if she can't hide it.

Scuba, your information will help me on the next trip. I did not know about the MP scene while there. None of my contacts, who visit the DR with regularity, mentioned it. I presume that one can get full service at the MP, like in Costa Rica. Please advise.

Thanks.

I was just thinking the same thing. I just want to verify the price structure(300 DR for 30 minutes that includes bbbj). It's nice knowing there are $9 bbbj options when it's rainy and have nothing else to do. Although that sounds a little low for dominican prices.

I would say don't be too excited about the looks of these ladies. Im sure everyone in sosua has been propositioned by one of them before. I would be curious to know if that is the going rate in most places or just from that chica.

The looks are mainly middle aged big tits/ass maid type. Im not trying to be offensive but it does give a good description of what you might have seen in america.

Thanks...[/QUOTE]My main girl Jenny won't even walk down the streets of Sosua with me. Sosua beach is also no good for her unless she is with family. For fear of being labeled a working girl. When outside of Sosua don't walk around with sex wanted tatood on you forehead. If she shows no interest thats my green light. Offer her dinner. Cabarette beach is very romantic for the nice non pro. The outscirts are anywhere outside of Sosua (can't tell all my secrets).

No, the 300 pesos for the half-hour massage is just to get you in there so that they can discuss further services in private. With BBBJ they will be looking for a tip of 500 pesos or more.

Not so long ago I had a girl give me a full massage, BBBJ, and shampoo, cut , and blow dry my hair too for 1000 pesos, not a bad deal. She was heavily pregnant so I was generous.

800 pesos plus 200 more will get you an afternoon session in your hotel room. I guess it depends on how you want to get off that day.
