[QUOTE=FlyGuyEddie007;2844383]Is there uber in puerto plata and sosua?[/QUOTE]Not in sosua. But I have used uber in puertoplata several times last week. Just be aware that they try to change the fare a lot there, something that is less frequent in santodomingo.
[QUOTE=OldKool;2844553]Sosua is very small. No need for Uber. Most things are with% in 3 or 4 blocks.[/QUOTE]That makes no sense. If Uber wasn't needed then taxis wouldn't be needed either and taxis are everywhere in Sosua. The reason Uber doesn't have a presence in Sosua is due to the very strong and if provoked, violent taxi mafia.
First 2 nights.
The first night, Wednesday, I went to Rumba, a place with people having dinner and so much light seemed strange to me, I expected a place to have drinks, but it is true that the girls are constantly passing by. I talked to several, at first they are asking $120ST $300 LT, in the end I went with a girl from Santo Domingo for 5000 pesos, after negotiating.
Second day (Thursday) I went to eat at Baileys and the food is very good and you are surrounded by girls. I liked it.
But at night it was much worse than Wednesday, being Thursday before the weekend I expected a lot more atmosphere.
I went to Blue ice but I was alone, I didn't go in a group, the waitresses put me in a corner completely out of the game, so I drank the beer and went to the Rumba, but I didn't see any girls that like me.
Do you know if there was a party yesterday somewhere else?
Or maybe the business is done before, I'm arriving between 11:00 pm To 02:00 am, maybe should change the time.
Today, Friday and tomorrow, Saturday, can you go to the casino in Playa Chiquita? Someone who has been recently, or not worth it.
I only use taxi to go to the airport. There are plenty of cabs but they sit parked most of the day. The locals use cheap public cars. The taxi mob would have a hard time stopping Uber if it was in affect. They can control airports but Sosua is not centralized. Tourist are everywhere so taxi mafia could not stop Uber.

It's funny, I visited Sosua in 2013, exactly ten years ago. At the time Rumba's was the place to pick up chicas, chicas were transactional and mechanical, and the talk on this forum was that things were better ten years ago and the government is trying to clean the place up. That was ten years ago, so the government is not doing a very good job. Sounds like not much has changed in ten years.
The quality of girls has changed. The better quality girls were scared off by aggressive policing. Girls were literally running to avoid being locked up. I started going 13 years ago as well. Classicos which was shut down had the best chicas every night. Now the weekends gets the quantity of girls Monday thru Thursday are slow. Rumba is still a gathering spot with Bailees also a solid spot to pickup. On the weekends the casino on playa Chicita has a couple of 100 attractive girls. Not as many high end girls as in the past but more then adequate for what I need.

Yes, last weekend I was at the 'playa chiquita' disco and I think it's worth it, most of the girls are the same as in Pedro Clisante, although some new faces appear.
I don't like Rumba very much because everyone is seated, a lot of light, many waiters. Very little discreet. The disco is a better atmosphere.
Has someone been to the ahnvee stripclub lately. Worth? Is admission paid?
A few years ago Ahnvee was the only game in town. All the girls in town were there at night and the club made a killing. Once the casino opened it killed their business. Now they have resorted to a American strip club model. The New York weekend crowd is there making it rain and profiling. Not many people go there these days but it has it patrons. I do not know why you would fly to the DR to go to a strip club when there is willing pussy all around you. I think most of the guys are there to hang with there boys. One of the strippers there is a whatapp friend she posted pictures of the tips on the stage yesterday. Easily 200 dollars on the stage. The place had the bones to be great but the management has always screwed things up being greedy.

[QUOTE=ForroMambo;2846978]Has someone been to the ahnvee stripclub lately. Worth? Is admission paid?[/QUOTE]Last time I was in Ahnvee, no admission fee and no drink minimum. Been a minute since I have been though. But under current business conditions charging a cover would be not help them.
I'm just back from five days, and I would have to say that the quantity of thin, young women that I like has increased over recent years. Late August is low season and there were not as many girls on the weeknights, but on the weekend probably fifty in Rumbas and twenty more in or around Bar Central, which are my two favorite spots. I typically pulled a different girl each night and get Whatsapp numbers to arrange visits to my hotel midday. One was a strikingly attractive twenty year old local, and at the other end was a 37 year old who gave the best head of the trip. Most were in their early twenties and from Puerto Plata. I offered 3000 pesos ($55 usd) which was typically accepted without a lot of pushback, which made me feel it was the right rate, if not a bit on the generous side.
For those heading to Sosua for the first time, the girls hang in a compact area where the two main streets intersect, coming out in the early evening. Some will verbally solicit and may grab you as you walk by, but more wait for you to approach. Take your pick and walk up and say Hello,. They can be shy at first but pretty quickly warm up and get all flirty. I speak Spanish but you can get along fine with sign language.
I always buy her a drink--or often her and her friend. I'll also generally buy drinks for girls I recognize from previous nights. First, ladies shouldn't have to sit around without a drink and many will go home without hooking up. Second, the bars deserve the business. (they give shelter to the girls run off the streets when the cops sweep through) Drinks are only four or five bucks so any American flying down can certainly afford it.
I really enjoy the flirtatious stage hanging with a pretty girl. As someone mentioned Rumbas is very brightly lit but Bar Central has dark corners where a girl that was quite shy a moment ago can get quite touchy as she works you toward taking her home. If you feel like moving on she'll be very disappointed and demanding, but get her Whatsapp and firmly explain that you just got here and want to explore the town. You can always find her again and start up again at the flirt stage.
When I'm ready I'm always very explicit about everything: I'm staying nearby in hotel xyz. You're really pretty and I would love to have sex with you ("sexo" I want GFE ("trato de novia") including kissing with tongue ("besos con lengua" Occasionally that's a deal-breaker. Do you like BBBJ ("por la boca sin condon" or "chupa sin preservativo" That can also be a deal-breaker if that's what you want. I'll pay you after ("te pago al fin"never before). Then I just say 3000, like I know the price and that's it. Sometimes they'll bargain. Handle that how you like.
They will almost always ask for more later, whether it's a tip or cab fare home, whatever. You have to get used to them always asking for money. Like I say, I'm fairly free with drinks but also quick to say "no. " The hotels will have them leave their ID at reception, and it pays to be friendly with the night security guy. Afterwards I always walk the girl out to get her ID and assure security everything is ok. In any case, have your valuables locked up.
I used to pull three lovelies a day, now even two can be a stretch. Getting old I guess. Sosua's still my favorite just because it's so darn easy.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2848662]Or as she picks your pocket.[/QUOTE]That can happen anywhere. To me, it was Classico, LOL.
