Some basic General Info for first time DR visitors
This is just a collection of a few of the helpful tips I've been given or found out while getting ready for my trip.
You have to purchase a Tourist Card to get into the Dominican Republic. The card costs $10 USD, cash only, exact change. You have to have the Tourist Card before you go through Customs. The card is good for up to a 30 day stay, is single use only, and is good for up to 1 year from date of purchase. You can avoid the line by buying your Tourist Card online. The process is quick and easy, took me about 3 minutes. Then just print the card out. The website with information and where you can purchase the Tourist Card is:

Always negotiate a price up front, whether for a taxi or a streetwalker. If you don't, you will end up being ridiculously overcharged, and in many cases, you can do little about it. Beware of scams. If you spend some time reading the forums, you will find many different examples. Nobody in the Dominican Republic is your friend. Everyone looks at you as a walking cash machine, and they are all eager to make some kind of withdrawal. While this may not be entirely true, it is a good starting point.
There are 3 general types of sex vacations you can take in the Dominican Republic, each with many different variations. These are my names and descriptions.
IHH Vacation: In House Humping.
This vacation is for someone who doesn't want to make decisions, who wants a minimum of hassles, and just wants to stay within close range of his hotel room, with plenty of chicas ready to take care of his needs. The most popular, certainly on this forum is Blackbeard's Resort in Costambar, just outside of Puerto Plata. There you rent a room, there is a bar and restaurant on premises, and there are plenty of chicas who are on-site, for a standard price. This is a good option just to get your feet, and other things, wet, in the Dominican Republic. You can find information in the Puerto Plata Thread.
The other IHH option is at an All-Inclusive Resort, where the chica is part of the package. This is the most hassle free type of vacation, but it carries a very big price tag. The prices range from about $2500 up to $7000 for a week. There are several options through the DR, ranging from 2 star to 5 star. Just like a regular all-inclusive vacation, all your meals and drinks are included in the price, as well as all the sex. I believe at Blackbeard's you can expect to spend about $120/ day, depending on your appetites.
FIB Vacation: Fish In A Barrel.
This vacation is for someone who is willing to put out a small amount of effort. The most popular location is Sosua, located a short drive from Puerto Plata. This is the kid in a candy store scenario. In Sosua, day and night, you will have no problem finding willing partners. You will need to negotiate a price, and negotiate the service, a minor hassle, but it is definitely a buyers market. One thing to check before you come, is whether or not the hotel is guest friendly. Some hotels will charge you for bringing an extra person to your room, and all inclusive resorts won't let you bring anyone in. There is plenty of hotel information in the Sosua and Sosua Hotels Threads, and a list can be found here:

You can have this type of vacation anywhere in DR, but nowhere is there as much variety and value as in Sosua.
TMH Vacation: The Mighty Hunter.
This is not a vacation for the timid, or for someone who is not willing to put up with adversity. The premise is simple, you go away from the easy spots and develop some sort of game plan from there. There are many women throughout the DR who are quite willing to go to bed with you, but each one has their price. The easiest ones are the pros. Having sex with tourists is their job. You can find them just about anywhere, but especially in places frequented by tourists. The next category is the semi-pro. These are women who have a job, but are willing to pick up some extra cash doing odd knobs. Errrr jobs. You can find them in clubs, casinos and discos, in the malls, or online. Some extra care is needed in dealing with semi-pros. Some will be offended if you offer money, others will be offended if you don't. Some veterans have suggested offering money in lieu of a gift for their mother, children or whatever. The last category is the non-pro. You are going to need some serious skills here, at least if you're aiming for 9's and 10's. Just like at home, they are going to expect to be wined and dined with witty conversation and all that crap. Good looks, deep pockets and good Spanish will help you out with them.
There are some online resources to help you find these women if you're going the TMH route. Dating sites like Dominican Cupid, Latin American Cupid, and apps like Tagged and Hi5 are useful. Even if you plan on just going to Sosua and taking advantage of the easy pickings, you might want to check these sites out. If you fill out a profile, and put up a picture or two, and you're not totally hideous, you will have women of all ages contacting you. Once again, it is a buyers market. I've had dozens contact me, and many are willing to send pictures and videos to try to convince you to pick them. Choose wisely.

If you talk with any of the women from these sites, they will ask if you have Whatsapp. It's basically a messaging app, that sends text messages through the internet, instead of through the phone service. The advantage of Whatsapp is the women can send you pictures, videos and voice messages that they can't put on the dating sites. You won't be able to send and receive messages on the cupid sites unless you pay for a membership. I paid for a 1 month membership for Dominican Cupid, turned off the auto renewal, collected Whatsapp numbers, and then when that expired, paid another month on Latinamerican Cupid, and did the same thing. Each one costs $29.95 for a month, but I now have about 30 contacts all over the DR. Of course the downside of Whatsapp is that everyone you give it to will have your phone number. Whatsapp allows you to block a person, and most won't spend the money for a real call. I have had to block 2, and I have also received a few text messages from some spam site. No major problems yet, though.
There are a few hundred more things you will want to know. Read the Forums and ask the experts. I'm just a rookie.
