[QUOTE=Mister Booblover]Hi there guys.
Someone here, who can give a report about how it is to stay in Sosua during christmas time and New Year?
MB[/QUOTE]Some girls that I knew left to stay with their families. Haitianas did not. Overall less choice but it made no difference to me. Day action as always available. The weather was cooler and waves spoiled snorkeling.
Well, I'm back from my week in Sosua and here is my report. *ahem*
First of all, Sosua is the funnest fuckin' place on Earth. I'll just toss that out there. Guys, leave the wives at home and get there.
Was gonna stay at Rocky's, decided against it. That turned out to be a good idea, since Rocky's is in a high-traffic, high-noise area, and I understand the rooms are not tip-top. But on the other hand, the food there is great and cheap. Cheapest pizza in town and very good. Eat there, stay somewhere else. I stayed at Coco Hotel. It's a couple of minutes away from the noise and crowds, and it's weak on amenities, but if you're going to Sosua for matching towels and little designer soaps, then you are in the wrong destination. Get to the airport, they're waiting for you. Coco is clean enough, there's a pool, nice staff, a bar with ice on the beer bottles, a path leading to an awesome private beach, and the doors lock. Boom. Done.
Passions. Holy shit. Brown and black girls, all shapes, sizes and attitudes. It's a bar with a stripper pole and a pool. A menu on the bar lists all services, from Thai massage to full service, all on the premises, all with the girl of your choice. If you reject the advances of a couple of chicks, and just sit back and watch the room, they'll leave you alone. I got completely hypnotized by a 21-year-old Latin centerfold with D-cups, and she took me back for a very slow, very firm, very oily full-body rub and deep BJ that ended with her big round cans all messy. No rush, very girlfriendy, hands all over the place, warm kisses. She washed me up head-to-toe in a shower down the hall, and sent me on my way. Almost two hours. 1000 pesos. I tipped her half that. She was VERY grateful.
The bars after 10 or 11 PM are an assault on the senses. Just walking the sidewalk is a midway experience that's alone worth the trip to the DR. Girls outnumber guys 10 to 1 easily, and they're all smiley and grabby and come-hither. Not in an overly-aggressive way (mostly) but in a goodtime fun way. The Dominican chicks are very pretty, with dark eyes and smooth dark skin. The Haitian girls seem a bit more desperate, and crank up the slutty factor a notch or two. The spectrum. From short skirts, low-cut sparkly nightclub dresses, to jeans and t-shirts. Careful, there's some ladyboys, but they're fairly obvious. Hilarious.
I didn't partake of any bargirls, but I did learn that the going rate was 2000-3000 pesos maximum for an all-nighter, and that is with a top-calibre, model-quality chick. But then again, I had a very experienced wingman, and a newbie on his own might have to shell out more.
At no time did I feel vulnerable or unsafe. Private security is abundant and visible, and the general atmosphere is festive and fun. I would get a buzz from a few beers and dance at Latinos (plenty of chicks would dance with me, often several at once, great fun and awesome music and no pressure. And I'm a shitty dancer, I just enjoyed getting out there and having a good time in the lights and music). Just sitting with a beer and watching the ass parade is fun, too.
The beach is nice, the food is great, the beer is plentiful, the rooms are cheap, hot-ass girls surround you three-deep whenever you go out at night, and try as I might. I didn't see a single snow plow, not a single city bus, not a single Starbucks, and not ONE bitchy. Nagging woman. Not one.
OK, that's my stream-of-consciousness report, and I know I omitted many things, but fuck it. I have too many fond memories to do them justice here.
When can I go back?

Awesome report! I am still patiently waiting to be able to feed my snake in March. He is starving... :(
I was wondering if someone could post detailed instructions on how to activate your prepaid phone in DR with Claro. I am mostly speaking to those who bring their prepaid phones with them to DR, not the ones who purchase them while there.
If this has been posted before then please direct me to the original post or PM. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

-SavePros321-[/QUOTE]Very easy. Verizon here is like Claro there, and AT&T here is like Orange there. Most Orange and Att (AT&T) phones use sim cards. Most verizon and claro cards do not have sim cards. I know one girl who had an At&T motorola razor with a sim card from here and she activated it to use with Claro. Claro and Orange are the two bigger cell phone companies in DR.
I have activated older (from Verizon here) Lg, Motorola (v60) and newer Samsung (sch-u340) phones in DR. In Sosua I used a small cell phone shop that is across the street from the Seabreeze hotel, it is next door to a cyber cafe/call center (maybe three stores over from the baseball field). Very nice chubby girl works there, sometimes with a guy. I gave her two LG phones from Verizon, which she activated. You should bring your passport along with you when you activate them. The girl activated the phones and wrote the new number on a piece of tape which she stuck to the back of the phone. The new number will also show up on the screen of the phone when you choose Phone Info from the menu. Then I bought a Claro card. Credit card size, paper card wrapped in plastic. They come in 250, 500 pesos denominations. Maybe other denominations. Some places can also sell you minutes using some kind of printout that is on piece of paper and looks like a receipt from a grocery store or lottery ticket printout.
After your phone has been activated, buy a claro card (I never used Orange, probably similar procedure for Orange) (many places sell the Claro cards, bodegas, some pharmacies) open the plastic wrapper and remove the card, on the back of the card is a scratch off part (like the instant lottery scratch offs here) under the scratch off part will be a line of maybe 8 or 10 numbers. You add minutes by dialing (for Claro) something like 1133 and press send, you will hear a recording in spanish, I forget if there is a beep or you just enter the number from the back of the Claro card during the message, it is foolproof, easy and I didn't understand the message. Just type in the number from the back of the Claro card you purchased and that's it, some other message will come on, in spanish, saying you have so and so many minutes.
When your minutes are about to run out from the card you purchased, you will hear a message when you dial a number that says you have so many minutes or seconds for that call. Time to buy a new Claro card and add minutes.
I bought several verizon samsung camera phones (sch-u340, prepaid for verizon) at walmart, 30 dollars and they work fine in Dom Rep. I bought two LG Aloha cell phones on Amazon, real cheap and two places in the Dom Rep where unable to program that phone. Supposedly each cell phone has some kind of code and to reprogram it to work in the Dom Rep, the people there need to know the code. They did not know the code for the LG Aloha, so I would stay away from the LG aloha phone for the Dom Rep. I would imagine most popular phones from here, they have the codes for.
I paid about 20 dollars to activate a samsung camera phone in santo domingo at the carrefour department store. The place in Sosua I don't remember paying for activation, but I was with a friend so maybe he paid. Usual activation charge is about 20 dollars.
Many Dominican chicas want the latest greatest cell phone. It is like a fashion statement to them. I really could care less what my cell looks like. But for Dom Rep, you may not want to use a 600 dollar cell phone. On my last trip a friend of mine went to the 24 hour bar named Caperinha, in Sosua at around 4 am and he had one of the Samsung phones (he stayed there alone, I was busy with some chica) and he got drunk and the next day came staggering into the hotel at 11 am, with no phone. I called the number of the cell that morning and some chica answered, she said she got the phone as a gift and that she was in Santo Domingo. Lying sack of sh_t, she or one of friends pilfered it from my friend. 30 dollar phone, no biggy. So for Dom Rep I use inexpensive cells. The older Lg's I have still work, but they were kind of big and bulky, one with a cracked screen, the motorola v60 the battery would die super fast, so I replaced them with the samsungs. Easy too if a group of friends traveling together use the same model phone, so that you don't have to bring many wall or car chargers. I am unmarried, so I get the task of storing the cell phones my married friends use in Dom Rep and the task of transporting them in my luggage, no problem. Any questions let me know.

A couple of us will be in Sosua for a week starting Jan 22nd. At Rocky's for a few days then moving down the street to Don Andres. If anyone wants to hook up for a beer just send me a PM. Besides the mongering our daily activities will include: La Pasion, daily drinking at Herman's on the beach and nightly hunting at the discos.
[QUOTE=Mrmagnum]Rooms with Kitchens seem to run around the same price or 5 dollars more than the double. I stayed there and got to stay in a double room and a single with a kitchenette. The double is just a room with 2 beds in it.
The bathroom is bigger in the double and there is more room in the double, the single kitchenette room I stayed in had a bigger bed but there wasnt as much room to walk around, and bathroom was smaller. It seemed smaller.
Not sure if that helps. I paid 34 a night and that included AC which is 5 dollars extra. If you email them through the site they'll give you a rate that includes taxes. I don't think I paid taxes now that I look back at the emails. Its a good place and you won't be paying more than 40 bucks a night.[/QUOTE]
Hi MrMagnum! Is Don Antonio chica friendly? Do they require ID? How is the atmosphere there? Do you feel every eye is watching you when you come in with a girl? Please, let me know. I am tempted to stay there next time I go to Sosua. Thanks

MB[/QUOTE]
I arrived in Sosua on the 1st of January and the nightlife was the worst I'd seen it in the 30+ times I've been in Sosua. Few chicas and no talent. Even more so than x-mas, the chicas spend New year's Day with the family. Tried to stop and eat in Maimon and never saw such a zoo. Same for the reaturants in Puerto Plata. Every restaurant filled with families. The night of the 2nd was much better as chicas showed up looking for money as they had spent it all over the holiday.

Dude, you went above and beyond the call of duty! Thank you!
I am going to move this to the "Reports of Distinction" thread because you've pretty much settled the "cell phone process" confusion once and for all.
I am even going to print this up to take with me on my next trip. Thanks once again!
[QUOTE=SavePros321] Thanks once again![/QUOTE]Thanks.
What I meant to say is that most Claro and Verizon phones do not have sim cards (however, I have been told that phones with sim cards can be programmed to work with Claro). Additionally, the phones I used had caller i.d., text messaging and voicemail, this appears to be basic on all cell phones in dom rep.
I never checked my voicemail while using a cell phone activated in the Dominican Republic. I don't know what my password is. I am not sure if a default password is assigned to the cell phone when it is activated.
Maybe someone else knows how the initial setup of voicemail works on a newly activated cell phone in dom rep?
The initial or default password to listen your voice mails, might be the last four digits of the phone number. You may want to ask the girl when she activates your phone, how to access voicemail. If the default password for voicemail is the last four digits of the cell phone number, this could be troublesome, a jealous type chica being able to access your voicemails from another cell phone.
I am fairly certain that Claro and Orange cards are not interchangeable. That if you activate a cell for use on Claro that you have to use Claro cards (same for Orange). People in Dom Rep have their opinions about claro and orange, some say you get more time with orange, others say that claro has better reception, I don't know.
I believe incoming calls are free, so you may experience a chica who calls you and tells you to call her back, so that she can conserve her minutes and make you use your minutes. I have had chicas call me and ask me to buy them a card and tell them the code, so that they can replenish their minutes.
I stayed at the Barcello Capella in Juan Dolio and close by this hotel was a small restaurant that had attached to it a small grocery store. While in the store I ask the girl that I needed minutes for my cell phone, she asked me how much in pesos I wanted to spend, I said to her "cinco cien", I was trying to say 500. 500 in spanish is "quinientos". The cashier girl printed out 5, (100) peso receipts with codes to use to add minutes to my cell phone. I had a Claro phone and this is another method whereby you can add minutes to the phone.

With Claro I don't know.
Has anybody noticed that New Garden has updated their website since adding the second wing to the hotel?
Who has stayed their recently? I noticed that there is reference to a Bikini contest… with photos! I start to think that NG is trying to steal a page from the Black Beards customer appreciation manual.
The website says in June there was a contest and implies it may be an ongoing thing. Can anybody validate that they have seen one?
