[QUOTE=Newport;2803054]I had an option to go to Sosua or Havana, sorry Sosua peeps, but the chicas in Havana are just more cleaner, cheaper and tighter.
Don't get it twisted, the ease and beauty of Sosua will always have a piece in my sack. My last visit was Jan of 2020, and Ahnvee was great.
I'll be back eventually.[/QUOTE]I've never been is it worth my time?
I read somewhere they have a strip club now. Is this true?

[QUOTE=Sammon;2804377]I have been using the same T mobile international plan. It is about $95 per month. They have just increased the roaming data allowance. It is one less hassle to go anywhere in the world. Besides you are connected just like you are in US. Calls are $25 cents a minute. I use WhatsApp, messenger, Skype etc to make calls. Most often use hotel wi fi. Nowadays almost all restaurants, massage places etc have wi fi.
[/QUOTE]WhatsApp is free. I was with T-mobile and went to DR, was charged a roaming fee for the whole trip of 4 days, over $1,000! I got no help when I called to complain, so I switched to Verizon. Now I get charged $10 a day with Verizon, whenever I am in another country. Not the cheapest, but it works.
I visited the Dominican Republic from March 28 through April 5. I spent 6 nights in Sosua and the last two in Boca Chica. This report is for newbies, the info below will be common knowledge for the DR vets.
Transportation.
I flew into Santiago and flew out of Santo Domingo. I would have loved to fly into Puerto Plata but the prices were outrageous from my home airport as American is the only carrier to offer decent flight times. I ended up on United as I had some Air Canada miles I had to use before May. The conversion rate for pesos was between 54 to 54.8 to the USD.
The United Airlines flights were alright as I was able to get Business Class on my outbound and their premium economy on the return. Outbound connection through Newark was OK but they had a temporary United lounge as their main lounge is being remodeled. It was pretty dismal but at least it was close to my departure gate. Returning through Newark was a PITA. Had to change terminals which means leaving the secure area and catching a train and then going through security again. Even with TSA precheck it was about a 30 minute wait. We boarded on-time but then sat at the gate for about 40 minutes when we finally pulled out to get in line, we were number 15 so another 25 minute wait. We ended up being about an hour late.
Had a friend who lives in Santiago pick us up at STI and drive us to Sosua. The route was very convoluted due to a critical bridge being out but at least there wasn't much traffic. We made it to our hotel in a little less than 90 minutes. I would not recommend anyone rent a car and try to make the drive unless you are very familiar with the route. I saw a prebooked taxi online for $70.
We decided to take the bus from Sosua to Boca Chica. We got a taxi quote for $180 (discounted from $200) and the bus was 545 pesos (around $10). Add on to that the taxi from the Santa Domingo station to Boca Chica for 1500 pesos. There are two bus options from Sosua. Metro and Caribe Tours. We chose the Metro as we could walk to the departure station and to get to Caribe Tours it was a short cab ride. In hindsight we should have opted for the Caribe Tours bus as it has routes that bypass the Santiago traffic and also many Santo Domingo chicas were on the 3 am bus to Santo Domingo.
In the DR there are taxis available and none that I saw had meters. Be sure to confirm your fare before you take off. There are also motos available but I don't like to use them unless there are no other options. For rideshare there is Uber, Didi and InDriver. The problem with Uber is that the app always quotes a fare that is unreasonably low so the drivers always message you and try to negotiate. You then have to cancel the ride and then check and check to be sure you didn't get hit with a cancellation fee. Didi worked well for me but was cash only. Didi to SDQ airport from the hotel was 1800 pesos. Hotel was quoting $30 for a taxi. Didn't try indriver as the app kept trying to sign me up to be a driver.
Hotels.
Sosua. New Garden Inn.
Nice little 3 floor hotel on DR Rosen, just a short walk to the main drag on Pedro Clisante. I had room 15. It was a Deluxe king on the ground floor. I think all of the rooms face the pool. The room was big enough but was definitely due for a remodel. King bed was comfortable and plenty of closet space. Good AC and fan. Included refrigerator but no coffeemaker. Not a lot of electrical outlets. Shower had plenty of hot water but it was very difficult to dial in a comfortable temperature. Free breakfast, a lot of options and it was quite good. The onsite bar / restaurant serves food and a little over market prices but was pretty good.
They had a small and VERY clean swimming pool.
This hotel caters to our hobby. Girls (not many but a couple of very cute ones) do hang out in the bar starting late morning. They are openly in the game and will ask you for your business while you are sitting by the pool or outside your room. No restrictions or charges for guests. They do have to leave their ID with security. If you want to go to sleep early, this may not be the place for you. Guys are outside at the bar or the pool, drinking and partying until about 11 pm. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Book early as this place does seem to fill up quickly. If I go back to Sosua I will definitely stay here again.
Boca Chica. Hotel Garant.
This hotel is about 1 1/2 blocks down hill from the main drag by the beach. Nice rooms, I had room #1, a two room king suite. This room was recently remodeled and based on the onsite construction, all of the rooms are going through a similar remodel. Again a fridge but no coffemaker. Nice smaller pool. Decent included breakfast but didn't sample and lunch or dinner in the restaurant as I never saw anyone else eating there. Staff was good but sometimes hard to find. Might have been because the hotel was only about 1/3 full.
We saw a couple of girls hanging around the hotel but it didn't look like they let them inside the gate unless with a guest. Hotel totally guest friendly, no fees or restrictions that I could determine.
Food.
Sosua.
There are many dining options so I will just list the highlights:
(1) New Garden Inn. An excellent and reasonably priced wood fired pizza. The medium is too large for most people but if there are two of you, split a large.
(2) Mosha's Reggae Lounge. I had the jerk chicken and it was one of the best dishes I have ever had. The hole in the wall place is right on DR Rosen before you get to Pedro Clisante. It is a one man operation and he doesn't cook everything on his menu every day. Walk by early afternoon and ask him what he is cooking today and when it will be ready. The jerk chicken takes four hours to smoke. We waited 3 days for our schedules to align with the jerk chicken availability and it was worth the wait. The price was very reasonable for what you get.
(3) Flip Flops. A walk through bar / restaurant at the entrance to the road to Sosua Beach. Very good tacos, sandwiches and very cold beers. Prices a little high because of the near beach location but incredible and funny wait staff.
(4) The Beach. There are probably more than 100 little bar / restaurants on Sosua Beach. The best place to get fresh fish in Sosua. Walk by and see what other folks are eating. Prices are somewhat inflated for being at the beach but not outrageous like Boca Chica. Stop down late afternoon for a couple of cold ones and to watch the chicas.
Boca Chica.
Walking down the main drag in Boca Chica, 90% of the restaurants are Italian. We did eat at one Italian restaurant but I don't know the name. It is just a hole in the wall kitchen with outdoor seating just west of the FrioHot hotel. The owner is an Italian and the food was very good and reasonably priced. We didn't want Italian on our second night so we asked a couple of expats at the bar where to go. They both said Casa Greco. It was a bit of a walk but eventually we did find it. Pretty much everything on the menu is grilled meats. It was inexpensive and very good (I got the local filet not the Argentinean). Unfortunately the name on the place does not say Casa Greco so I will include a trip advisor link to help you find it. [URL]https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g147288-d3835082-Reviews-Casa_Greca-Dominican_Republic.html.[/URL].
While you are walking down the main drag, you will be accosted by well dressed guys with an official looking card hanging from their neck. They want to take you to one of the beachfront restaurants and they guarantee they will get you a great deal. I fell for this the first time I went to BC and a fish sandwich and a beer ended up costing me around $30. Ignore these guys and unless you have to eat on the beachfront avoid those restaurants. Food and drinks are double or triple what you would pay one street north.
Bars.
In Sosua we didn't go to far away from the main drag, specifically DR Rosen, Pedro Clisante and the street Bailees is on. We meant to hit the club that is in the Casino at Playa Chiquita but didn't make it.
On Pedro Clisante, most of the activity is on the street and in Bar Central or across the street at King / Rumbas. I prefer Bar Central over Rumba / Kings but that is just personal preference. Beers were 200 pesos in most bars. There were plenty of women around in all shapes and sizes, some young and good looking and some a bit long in the tooth. This trip it seemed like there was a lot higher percentage of Haitians over Dominicans though for me that isn't an issue as I find the Haitian girls to be a bit friendlier and less businesslike. The women were asking between 2000 and 5000 pesos but it was easy to negotiate as there weren't that many gringos in town being the week before Easter.
After 11 or so there is a newly opened club (new for me) a bit further down Pedro Clisante (toward Ahnvee) on the right hand side of the street called City Lights (Sosua Lights). This is more of a nightclub atmosphere, well decorated and the women that frequent it are primarily Haitian. We arrived pretty early, just around 11 and it was just starting to fill up. We were standing, drinking at a table and two women walked up and started talking to us. In about 30 seconds, the waitress it there, wanting to know if we wanted to buy them a drink. I swear she was there quicker than a Bangkok mamasan. We finished our drinks and headed back to Bar Central.
You will also find a few small hole in the wall bars on DR Rosen near the corner of Pedro Clisante. Occasionally you can find a winner in these. In almost all of the bars in this area, there are stools right along the street so you can talk to the girls as they walk by.
In Boca Chica we spent almost all of our time drinking in a bar on the main street called Amigos. Beer was 150 pesos and most of the women that were out, made their way inside during the evening. The quality and quantity of the women was less than that of Sosua except for one woman I saw who was absolutely stunning. Dominican, flaca with good tits and incredible legs. Face looked like a young Salma Hayek. I tried to engage in conversation but she was too busy taking selfies and posting to Instagram. I'm sure she was way out of my price range anyway. Girl prices quoted were the same as in Sosua.
Conclusion.
I had a good time but I look it as a once or twice a year venue when looking for a change of pace from Costa Rica or Panama. My friend who is a Colombian regular finds it way more expensive and a lot less attractive women. If you can get good flight prices, especially if you can get in and out of Puerto Plata at a reasonable price, it's definitely worth a week or so.

I will be in Sosua for a week starting April 22nd. I'm staying at the hotel Alicia.
I used Tinder and found many attractive women that met my retirements of think, attractive, under 25 years old, and allows anal and photography. Most were agreeable with 8000 pasos for 2 hours or 12000 for four hours. I don't want anyone sleeping over night.
I found that using Google translate on tinder got me much better prices. If I spoke English, then it was $100 an hour or $250 for 4 hours.
I now have over two dozen names and numbers, but I have a few questions. And yes, this is my first sex tourism trip ever. I have spent many hours reading this forum, but some things are not clear.
1) Is it a bad idea to bring a woman back to your own room? I see some mention of shirt term room rentals. Why do that? What would be a good choice?
2) is it mandatory to have the girl drop off ID at the hotel front desk? Does the Alicia limit the number of guests in per day? Do they charge a guest fee?
3) Is there a better girl friendly hotel I should look at instead?
4) do some of the girls expect to be paid first?
5) if you are paying after and the girl wants to leave early, what should I do? Or is this a rare occurrence?
6) if we meet for drinks first, is that considered part of the time?
7) I have a travel safe I'm bringing with me. Nothing valuable will be left out ever. Any other safety tips?
8) are there any common cons or scams I need to look out for?
9) if their ID says they are over 18, can I trust that?

The peso amounts are when I used Google translate to message them. But I did miss type that. 2 hours with anal and pictures for at most 4000 pesos. The night was 8000, and a whole day was 12000.
I added some pictures for reference.

- Good choice
I used Tinder and found many attractive women that met my retirements of think, attractive, under 25 years old, and allows anal and photography. Most were agreeable with 8000 pasos for 2 hours or 12000 for four hours. I don't want anyone sleeping over night.

- This is your vacation; we don't do any 'sex tourism'
1) Is it a bad idea to bring a woman back to your own room? I see some mention of shirt term room rentals. Why do that? What would be a good choice?
- No. You can go to a motel but this adds costs
2) is it mandatory to have the girl drop off ID at the hotel front desk? Does the Alicia limit the number of guests in per day? Do they charge a guest fee?
- In most cases but not in every. No limit. No extra fees.
3) Is there a better girl friendly hotel I should look at instead?
No.
4) do some of the girls expect to be paid first?
- Yes, very few. Don't do it.
5) if you are paying after and the girl wants to leave early, what should I do? Or is this a rare occurrence?
- It happens. If she has taken her clothes off, pay her.
6) if we meet for drinks first, is that considered part of the time?
- No
7) I have a travel safe I'm bringing with me. Nothing valuable will be left out ever. Any other safety tips?
- All common sense
8) are there any common cons or scams I need to look out for?
- Stay away from hustlers, 'friends'
9) if their ID says they are over 18, can I trust that?
- Not always. If she looks too young, you have to ask questions about her, her family etc before you actually see and verify an ID. The right answer here not to partake in case of a doubt.
[/QUOTE]See above in your post.
[QUOTE=Questner;2807156]
5) if you are paying after and the girl wants to leave early, what should I do? Or is this a rare occurrence?

[/QUOTE]Really? Why? Even if I pay for the night and she leaves after an hour? I certain would want to pay her something, but not the full amount we negotiated for the night.
[QUOTE=WinterMute1;2807036]I will be in Sosua for a week starting April 22nd. I'm staying at the hotel Alicia.

I found that using Google translate on tinder got me much better prices. If I spoke English, then it was $100 an hour or $250 for 4 hours.[/QUOTE]Yeah them lady sharks are coming for you. My monger brother you are about to be taken to the cleaners. 100 dollars an hour and 250 dollars for 4 hours to a woman you've haven't even met yet let alone sniff her hair and you call that better prices? Got damn man eaters are ready to come eat you alive and it won't be pretty. So here's a a few tips.
1. Start learning some spanish (Even basic spanish helps alot).
2. Be willing to negoiate. NEVER negoiate in dollar even when speaking in english. ALWAYS negoiate in pesos. Theres no set price point but all the OG Mongers can agree upon is that those price that those tinder girls are giving you are BEYOND ridiculous. Rahsta gave you a good starting price point and here's mine. At the time of this writing a 100 dollars is 5487 peso. That should be your MAX amount in spending with any female. Hell push it to 5600 pesos in being a nice guy but that should be all night long aka toda la noche (tln). So for a 2 hours I start with 2500 pesos and be flexible to 3500 max for short term.
3. Now Ima be the devils advocate. If you don't want to learn the language, your time is short down there and you don't won't to haggle then fuck it let these hunnies take a bite out your ass while you get your nut and pay the $100 and $250 prices. You won't be the first or last guy to get suckered into paying those prices because those hips and thighs got you mesmerized. Its your money and your vacation and if you're having fun then fuck it.
4. NEVER pay upfront. I repeat. NEVER pay upfront. You pay when service is rendered. So do not send money to the tinder chics beforehand and don't give her no pesos until after you skeet skeet in that ass.
5. If they look young check their ID. Then on their ID ask them whens their birthday. If she says a date that doesn't match the ID then you know for sure that this isn't her ID. I got a youngin one time using this method. She going to tell me this is her sister ID but she's still legal tender. Yeah ok. Told her to run along but have a nice day.
6. You can and probably should meetup with the ladies from tender first at a coffee shop. Matter of fact even if you meet a female on the street take a sec to get to know her first. BTW did you video chat with these tinder ladies to see if she's even real. Anyway you want to get to know a female first. If you do this method with the tender girls and you find that you don't want to take her up to the room then give her an smal exit fee if needed (200-700 pesos) max. You're NOT obligated but giving her an exit fee is a small gesture of good will, like hey she came all the way to see you but for whatever reason we don't click so here's some gas money to get back home.
7. Definitely keep all your valuables locked up at all times. Don't trust no one in your room. I don't care if Sister Mary Clarence was in your room keep you valuables locked up and safe.
8. Color photo copy your passport and drivers liscense. Lock up the original and keep the color copies on you.
9. Do NOT have any female randomly come up to you and start touching you on the streets or at the bar. Those lady sharks are going to smell new blood a mile away as youll have random females trying to get close to you in order to steal your pesos. Ooh and I shouldn't have to say it but do NOT wear any jewelry. Don't pull out a big wad of cash out for all to see and for Gods sake don't get caught up in the moment and be the make it rain type baller in the club because that will only draw attention. The wrong kind of attention. So yeah don't be that guy.
10. Forget your mindset from where ever you come from and just be like water and flow with whatever situation that may come. Most of your plans will go awry with better instant plans coming together right before your eyes. Also you can do all the right logical things and sometime things can still go wrong. You negotiate the price (since its your first time make sure you have the price negoiate thru text so theres no misunderstanding and you can prove to security that this was the price), she agrees and then afterwards start a fight in you place to try and get more. Do NOT react and hit her or get mad just calmly get her things, get security if need be, record her as she leaves and get her out the door. Be prepared to throw a little extra peso out the door so that you can get her out.
Folks that come across these lady shark type often talk about its the principles and that you should not give her 1 more peso to get her out well remember you are in another country and PEACE trumps principles. I one time had to give a nutjob an additional 1300 peso (almost 25 dollars) just to get her the fuck out even though we agreed upon a price beforehand but the peace afterwards was priceless. So yeah do what you got to do and space from that nutjob quick fast and in a hurry. Afterwards tip the security for helping you kick her out and have un trago de tequila, smile then go lounge at the beach because itll be your rights of passage into Sosua. As this situation has happened to all of us.
Down there its when crazy shit happens with a female and how you handle the situation that defines you and builds character. No need to get mad or frustrated just continue to make it a point to screen a female better.
11. Trust your instincts. If you got good instincts then listen to it at ALL times. Something don't feel right but you can't figure out why don't try and figure out the why, just listen to your instincts and leave it be.
12. Finally make sure you write a report back. We always like to read a newbies perspective of Sosua. Its a breath of fresh air in this forum.
P.S. If you want some advance course on preparation with the hunnies you should look up my previous 2 post on watching the percentages with the ladies, To hedging your bet so as to NOT get any STD's. Its in the thailand, general report thread but its definitely applies to Sosua as well.
Carribean Champagne Dreams and Psychotic WTF Madness can hit your ass ALL at the same time as they still have old testament diseases circulating down there. So have your fun but be safe.
Peace.
