[QUOTE=Tomjackin;1803768]Yes, it appears he has lung cancer.[/QUOTE]Too bad. I met him on my very first visit to the beach in 2003 and have eaten there often since then. Hope he beats it.

The place is up for sale, I agree, I hope he beats it. He hired a another cook because he is very weak. Bill, helps him put his tables out in the mornings.
On an another note, does anyone have any good info on the new BBQ place across the street of that crappy NY pizza place?

Based on this information this is an affluent group who are some years out of college and all have decent jobs with disposable income, the ability to coordinate vacation schedules, and a lack of other commitments such as wives, girlfriends, and children.
Whether any of them are prepared to take settle for leftovers chosen by someone else is something that we could not possibly know.
People change in the years after high school. In high school common interests are being of the same age, studying in the same classes, playing on the same sports teams, living in the same neighborhood, having common acquaintances, such as the same teachers, shopping in the same stores, knowing each other's families, and so on. A few years after college personalities diverge. My recommendation would still be to enjoy the vacation treats that the DR offers together as a group as rebonding exercises, for example windsurfing, excursions, fishing trips, but split up individually or maybe in pairs when looking for chicas, and then just go with the flow.

I had the pork steak special and my chica had the chicken. Large portions that were well prepared. The pork steak was very tender and had nice light smoky flavor.

Owner is ausssie name steve if I remeber correctly. Food is good, first time I went service was supper effin slow, slower than domincan standards. Next time I went I told the waiter I was super hungry and to hurry with my food. Service that time was a1. Most likely eat there again they have twofers for their main entrees at certain times.
We are all in our 40's. We are looking to sleep, swim, drink and meet girls during the day. Nothing crazy. In the evening, we want to make the most of it with the ladies. We are all good with money but will NOT over spend on grade see ladies.
The bottom line is we are looking to have some laughs and enjoy what DR has to offer. Thanks for all the info guys. Keep it coming.

How do you run afoul of those? I use Cupid dating site. Am I in danger? I'm much too old to spend my golden years being butt fucked by a bunch of Dominican crack heads! Please expand on this.
You guys make this the most difficult process in the world. Sosua is prob the most point and click Mongering experience in the world. That's why folks love it because you can be a complete fuckin idiot and still have a ball. It's like Mongering for dummies and mofos still struggle. LOL!

I suggest you read his post.
Sinatras is the single worst restaurant I have ever eaten in. The service is frightening. Two for one is like two plates of xxxx on a stick. The owner is arrogant and I think it was his son who also was just a xxxx. They cannot handle the volume on the two for one nights. I can dine in the Palm or In and Out but Sinatras is an insult.

Whether a two for one sale at Sinatra's, a two for one sale at Walmart on Black Friday, cheap pussy in Sosua, or the world in general, folks can always find a way to fuck it up.
Sometime it's best to just do your own thing and leave them be!
Happy Thanksgiving!
There are some locales where the advice below from GrownMan1 would be helpful, Sosua isn't that place.
1. Forget about a Cabarete villa. Stay in Sosua and get separate rooms at Terra Linda or Casa Cayena.
2. Forget about "top-notch" girls. You'll get Sosua chicas. Girls are hit or miss and so is the service. If you want top-notch girls and service, try another country, e. G. , Medellin has casas and Rio has termas, start there.
3. Don't plan to see too much besides bars and clubs, beach cabanas, and spread legs. Play it by ear, have fun, keep your valuables in the safe, and your largest wad of pesos in your socks.
[QUOTE=GrownMan1;1803348]I ride out with a group of friends a lot. So here are some things you need to think about. KNOW your group. Get the fellas together and talk about the places. Do you guys want a chica per day. Do you want chicas ST or TLN. What is the highest each is willing to pay? Do you want to party in a group together or take your chicas away solo. Charles advice on keying in one 1 chica and letting her call all her girls is straight out of my book. I get them all together and tell them I have all the money. My friends only have tip money.

I've done small groups to Bangkok, Sosua, Medellin, and Rio, and none has ever gone off without a problem. I had a guy in Thailand who didn't want to pay a hooker the equivalent of $30, and instead put hands on her leading to the involvement of the Thai police. I've had a guy fall in love with a Sosua chica and not want to leave his room. I have had guys run out of available cash mid-trip from outspending their budget. I have had guys get too drunk the night before to show up for pre-booked, pre-paid tours in Thailand and the DR.
Yet, every time I propose a trip at least one person mentions getting a villa or shared accommodation. I've learned to be totally opposed to this idea. It's a great advantage to be only loosely tied to one's travel buddies and not have one's trip totally ruined by their wants, addictions, and mistakes.
Rule #1: Get separate rooms.
Rule #2: Don't pre-book or pre-pay any group excursions. If you want to go see something, be willing to go see it alone.
Rule #3: It's better to owe your travel buddies then to be owed by them.
Maybe I just travel with a bunch of shitty guys, but I think it's a common occurrence. New mongers and those who have never travelled are the worst for it.

Groups:
My first trip to Medellin in 2009 was with a group of seven and five of us had never met before, we were all first timers to Medellin. Four guys rented a four bedroom penthouse compete with pool table (El Pablado), I rented a two bedroom across the street for me and the other guys stayed in a hotel 20 minutes away. The first day was cool as we walked around like lost newbies, but once we got comfortable the personalities started to come out. One guy was never on time so we always had to be on his time, another guy wanted to fuck every girl he saw in our condos never his, another guy never reached into his pocket to pay for shit unless we asked him three times, one guy fell in love and didn't want to go anywhere, and we had the undercover druggie that disappeared every now and then. Luckily I had my independence so I had a few luxuries. The girls always wanted to chill with me and not do the group thing at the penthouse. Girls were staying with me until the next day while the girls in groups at the penthouse did a 6 am morning wake up call to leave together. When guys at the penthouse would argue over taxi money I could just go to my spot and chill. One guy used my spare bedroom to fuck a girl and another guy got mad because he fucked her three days before. The funny part was that as we were exiting at the airport there was a major problem. One guy had a muslim named which raised flags so they asked him the names in his group. All the other guys went by the first name on their passport and were pulled into secondary but I have travel name that's different so I walked through without a problem as they looked for GoGo. That was my last time doing the big group thing.
Being NYC speaks Spanish will allow him some favors but I would suggest to keep it simple but allow each person to have some privacy to prevent internal bickering.[/QUOTE]
Like in love, three or more is a crowd.
The best vacation experiences of my life have been with a bunch of guys in the Bahamas, but we knew each other very well, did it year after year, and we were very careful who we invited in.
Early we went through the shit that KC and GG describes below. We eventually winnowed them out.
If you bring along guys you've never travelled with before, you are going to find out about their habits at the wrong time, when you are supposed to be on vacation.
It's like a woman taking brand new, never worn, shoes with her on a trip. You can guarantee what happens. She'll spend the first day looking for comfortable shoes.
And it seems there is always a "Jerry", my GF's name for a persistant newbie who wants to hang with you and share the fun, but won't share the expense, and causes trouble with the chicas, then wants to end the week complaining. They are worse than the local touts. We met another one last month (or I should say he met US) a real pain in the ass.
Or, if you are single, there is a "Kevin" who tags along with you and even if you meet a chick, will somehow always be around monopolizing the conversation, he'll stay up late with you and your chick, and never leave. He has no radar for rejection and no sense of discretion.
My male buddies and GF know these "names" well, and when we meet guys like that, someone will say, "Has anyone seen "Jerry" lately?" (or "Kevin?"), and everybody gives the knowing look, smiles, and moves on.
Anyway, if you are going to spend good money on a vacation with a bunch of guys, be sure you have an individual Plan B, like making sure you have your own room, in an accessible location so you can opt out, if thing get contentious.
No need to waste a vacation.
That is good advice from KC and GG.
