Sosua Reports

Ya I remember that guy. He helped me out a lot, too, via email (not PM). A Prince of a guy.

[QUOTE=Revere;2131109]There is a reason why trip reports have dropped on here. Grown men do not want to be micromanaged. If they write a trip report that is negative then they do not need someone coming on trying to defend sosua.[/QUOTE]So I do not know who you have in mind here but when recently you wrote on how to have more "attractive" females in Pto Plata etc, there was at least one person, who wrote a "5000 word" post cutting you down. I personally thought, you were trying to help.

I know, in the DR, one can have a good time, at an affordable cost and without having to travel far. I enjoy Sosua and LOVE the DR but I do not live there. It is interesting that people who are critical, return there (if not live there already) with a frequency that is befuddling. As for reports, all that is there to know, bar the latest exchange rate, has been written about already. People "so scared" by all the criticisms writing only plaintive PMs (the only PMs I seem to get are for contacts) to whoever, may fly off wherever, I hope in droves! Food, hotel and chicas will all cost less.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2131127]My PM box is full of messages saying this exact thing! People do not want to post because when others have had a negative experience and posted about it, they are always ridiculed by a couple of members that consider Sosua their personal paradise.[/QUOTE]I've had negative p4p experiences in cities in the 40 plus countries that I have visited with the possible exception of Rio, Sosua has been among my worst. Calcutta in India (I've posted in that forum) has been worst than Sosua. Were it not for the great performing Russians in Hong Kong, Hong Kong would have been worst than Sosua (in p4p that is). My experiences in Europe, China (except HK), South East Asia and South America have all been better. Others may have had different experiences and that's normal as reading all forums will demonstrate, we are all different.

Has anyone been in Sosua on Super Bowl Suday. Where is a good place to watch the game.

[QUOTE=OldKool;2131271]Has anyone been in Sosua on Super Bowl Suday. Where is a good place to watch the game.[/QUOTE]Superbowl weekend is when I have seen the most people ever in Sosua. I take it that you already have a hotel booked. If not, good luck with that as well as finding somewhere to watch the game along with hundreds of others that are trying to catch it.

[QUOTE=OldKool;2131271]Has anyone been in Sosua on Super Bowl Suday.

If you don't know where it is it is inside the Las Palmeras Hotel complex, formerly the Don Antonio Hotel.

Food, hotel and chicas will all cost less.[/QUOTE]Mr Tempoecorto, there is nothing wrong with Revere trying to help fellow mongers. I recall the individuals that responded, including myself. There was no disagreement that what he suggested would work for certain men (I didn't disagree, I said it was good to whom it applied). Him being helpful wasnt the full issue, now was it?

What you choose to ignore or discount, is that being helpful in one instance (offering an alternative to Sosua by going to a PP night club) but, using statements like "there are no hot chicas in Sosua" as support for why one should go to PP to a night club, is not necessarily helpful to those guys who are newbies or have never been to Sosua. Moreover, Revere was asked to explain how he came up with those beliefs, but he chose not to respond to that. So it's not like feedback and clarification wasnt sought.

This is the Sosua Forum, not the Puerto Plata forum. So I do not consider saying there are no hot chicks in Sosua within a forum full of newbies or those who have never been to Sosua to be helpful to them. Now as far as anyone cutting him down? Thats some BS, right there. There was never anyone or anything said towards him personally, or directed at him to "cut him down". The particulars of what he provided is what was addressed, which had nothing to do with him as a person.

As intelligent as you write. And as nice a fella as Mr G said you are, (and I suspect that you probably are a cool cat) why do you represent yourself that way here in this Forum when it comes to misrepresenting details and facts regarding what certain posters write? All of you that either disagree, don't like the poster, what that poster writes, or just have a difference of opinion, should be able to express your POV without distorting in order to compensate.

Thats why it's laughable when guys throw out distortions and exaggerations of what you post or what they choose to understand, make unsubstantiated remarks about you or something you did, and then claim they have to ignore you, or not continue talking anymore. It's childish and non productive. Were men. We should be able to discuss and debate like men. Instead of you focusing only on Reveres post being helpful, maybe you could of paid more attention to what was actually being addressed and put that in it's proper perspective. Maybe others were being helpful to newbies too. You considered that possibility?

Hello gentlemen,

I will be taking my first trip to Sosua so I will asking some you veterans for some guidance as I plan my trip to Sosua for the first time and I promise that I will heed the advise given and not ruin the game. My first basic question is how much is considered S. T for a chica session and how much time is considered a l. T and I hat should the pay be for both. Please forgive the punctuation cell phones are hard to write with.

[QUOTE=OldKool;2131271]Has anyone been in Sosua on Super Bowl Suday. Where is a good place to watch the game.[/QUOTE]Yes. This will be my 4th SB watching the game in my apartment in Sosua. You are welcome to come. Seriously though, the Ahnvee Hotel has a special. 1000 pesos per person, all you can eat of a special menu. Chicas I read were supposed to be provided drinks for free. Big "D" is supposed to be cooking some things. Screens all over the complex. I read that after the food is gone, they may be allowing people to enter without cover.

Bourbon Street will have the game projected on the walls like they usually do. As well as a couple of flat screens up. Rumba may be open for SB, so that may be another option. Midtown Bar/Restaurant is another option. The Happy Birthday Bar is another option. ( they have food/snacks ). Be advised that many places showing the game may have a cover charge for seating/participation.

[/QUOTE]First off, when something you wrote recently, resonated with me, I wrote a post commending it as I found it was thoughtful (on 1/14/18).

Personally, I do not care for clubs / discos neither do I think that the PP pool is any different from the Sosua pool. Also, from my perspective, PP and Sosua are so close geographically that both are potentially accessible. I would also say that most of us take it as a given, that beauty is only in the "eyes of the beholder". In view of that, my thought on reading Revere's note was that, this might be helpful to some, especially to younger people or those that like a dance hall kind of environment. In other words, irrespective of whether you agree or not with what Revere is saying, I do think, it did not require the long prose you wrote in response, which might be construed (or perhaps misconstrued) as unwarranted critique.

I have heard Superbowl weekend was a busy time in the su. I was not able to book my normal hotel. I did realize I was booking Superbowl weekend.

I will be in Sosua for a week and am trying to figure out if a side trip to BlackBeards on a Sunday and Monday is worth the excursion. Having never visited, it looks a bit isolated. Are there activities to keep one occupied for a couple of days?

If you are are newby who does not like the club scene in Sosua then BB is a decent option. It is a bordelo in a hotel, The selection is nowhere near what you will see on a a slow night I Sosua but some guys love the place. If you are having a good time in Sosua I would hang in there. I am somewhat bias. I am not a big fan of the place.

Not sure that Sunday and Monday are the best days at BB's. Most of their activities run Thursday to Saturday.

Based on what you two said and reading a bit, I will pass on BlackBeards. It would likely cost more than it's worth since I already have an apartment in Sosua for a week. The transportation and room at BlackBeards would likely add up to an extra $250. I can find a better use for that. If Sosua does become boring then based on what is available on the Internet, I can always hop a bus ride to Santiago for a day trip.
