September 2010 Trip Report
The theme of this report is Accountability. I was on my 5th trip to Sosua and this was my first visit since spending 8 weeks in Sosua 2 years ago.
Accountability (as defined by Miriam-Webster online): an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.
This is what it is all about.
Hotel Don Andres: Stayed here 3 nights for $40/night. Very basic accomodations but Bert and Henrik are friendly and reliable. They have some nice 2 room apartments that have more space than other places. I returned here because of good reliable service in the past and its chica friendly.
Hotel: Terra Linda: I had very poor or no Internet connection during my 3 days stay here. They are one of the most expensive hotels in the area, yet they did not get this right. I inquired to the front desk multiple times and they kept telling me they would get to it. I believed them at first but after the 2nd day I grew weary of "I'll look into it very soon". I'm a regular internet user who checks email regularly, uses Skype to make calls to the States and likes to do a bunch of surfing. I ended up leaving my hotel to do those things and going to the small internet hole in the wall just up the street. That is totally unsatisfactory compared to paying $69 vs. $40 or $55 I paid at other places with very reliable Internet service. Upon checkout, I asked the clerk on duty to provide me a small refund to compensate the service that was paid for and not provided. He told me that there was a problem with the service and he could not do anything, they would have to call someone. I said I paid for a service for which I didn't receive, and yes this was his problem. He went on with the "well, this is the DR and one can't control these things. " Meanwhile, the unattractive hole in the wall just 40 yards away had reliable Internet service each time I left my comfortable hotel room to use the Internet.
An owner /manager came out of an office right by the front desk and was overhearing my complaining. He asked the clerk directly, "When does this customer check out? " I interjected and said "I'm leaving today". The clerk told him I was in the process of checking out right now and he said "Good" to the clerk and did not address me although I was 4 feet way. This total disrespect was very infuriating. I promised them on the spot I would write a letter which would cause them to lose hundreds of dollars. Here I've kept my promise. Too bad they did not keep theirs.
Now accountability: This hotel will not get any repeat business from me. That costs them about one week every year or $483/year, and probably $1500 over the next 4 years. This all could have been saved if they would have refunded $4-$5 per day for the lack of Internet service. There was no apology, no I'm sorry, no offer any type of other compensation. Just "sorry, there is a problem and it is not within our control". I gave them an opportunity to be accountable and did not respond. This failure to be accountable is a bad business decision as no doubt this report may cost them several thousand dollars more in lost business. It is a nice hotel, but for someone who depends on reliable Internet service, this is not the place for you.
One other annoyance I had was that I was in the middle of a nice romantic swim in the pool with a beautiful chica and a waiter comes up and asks us if we want a drink. WHILE we are swimming. WTF! Never interrupt me when I'm in the pool with my chica.
LA PASSIONS: I have been to this place on each visit I've made to Sosua, usually just to look and once going with a chica onsite. I found the lineup to be much younger and tighter bodies than in previous visits. I took Rhianna out the first night because she gave me just a great vibe while we talked in the bar. She is beautiful and her face reminds me of Halle Berry between her eyes and her mouth. She was a great GFE although in the morning she did not want to french kiss. That was a little disappointing after an otherwise great night. Good eager service, friendly and super adorable. She did perform very well in the morning, just no kissing. She has a great-shaped B-cup breasts that you can't really tell when she has a shirt on. I am still day dreaming about her 3 days after my return. I paid 3500DP for takeout at 10pm, return at 10am. That is a big amount for Sosua, however the roughly $100 is 5 couch dances at my local gentlemen's club. In that respect, it is a great price.
There was another smoking girl at La Passions named Diana. She had a wonderfully flat stomach and legs to die for. She was taken 2 nights I wanted her. I met one guy who got an onsite BJ. He said her service was lackluster and she didn't take her top off so I'm probably better off for not going with her. But I found her body so tight I just loved to sit and watch her in the small outfits. One other good thing about La Passions is they wear skimply clothing and occasionally remove tops and strip down to the G-string. This is great to know what you are going to get ahead of time. Often times at Classico's or Latinos the girl can look good in clothes but fall apart upon disrobing.
CARRIBEAN MEN'S PARADISE. I stopped here which is 2 blocks from La Passions on the side closer to Latinos. It is a good second option with plans similar to La Passions. I thought the lineup was better at La Passions, but some very doable girls here. I was there twice and the worst part was there was not many other guys. While this could be an advantage, I had the feeling that my move to talk to a girl, buy a drink, etc. Was being watched by about 20 pairs of eyes and I didn't light that feeling. I spoke to one girl who said she used to work in La Passions for several years. She was 29, look 25-26. The idea of the mileage on her for several years at La Passions was discouraging and I didn't go with her.
CLASSICO'S, LATINOS, EL FLOW, etc. I spent a good deal of time walking up and down the street of sitting at a table and watching the traffic go by. Having lived here for 8 weeks 2 years ago, I notice a good bit of change. Some bars are now closed and very quiet while El Flow, Rumba and X-Club now exist and have decent crowds. La Rumba is owned by a guy from New York and cater to a more upscale Dominican crowd and I did not see much chica action over there. El Flow seemed to also be mostlly local Dominicans but many of the girls were in play. Latinos dance floor was much quieter than 2 years ago and didn't really get busy until later, about 12am.
I met a pretty Haitian named Joselin at Classicos. She was about 5'6", nice body, large breasts and very pretty smile. I interviewed her and about what she did/didn't do and she said "anything you want. " I took her back to my place and she was a relatively poor performer who gave me "cold fish" service. That is a girl who lies on the bed and expects to lay there and you do them. I had directly told her that french kissing was very important to me and she said no problem. Well here she said she didn't like to do that. In my mind I picked her up and threw her out on the street. I hate when chicas do this.
Here's a case where a chica who could earn repeat business and get a good tip if she offered good service. She lost out. 2 nights later I saw her again at Latinos. She came up to me and smiled and said "let's go". I said sorry, you did not french kiss the way I wanted last time. She said she would this time. I said that is no good, you have to be accountable for your actions last time and you were not trustworthy. Her face/body was an 8, but her service was a 4.
September 2010 Trip Report - Part 2
The age of the chicas I was with was 22, 19, 20, 19, 20. I personally love the young skin and tight bodies of the younger chicas. Not to mention the idea of low mileage. Yes some of them are immature and haven't mastered good techniques.
Friday afternoon I was walking to the beach to go for a swim and as I walk past El Flow I saw this incredible young and beautiful face. I kept going another 2 stores down and then thought to myself, "What the hell am I doing? This is the youngest, freshest face I've seen down here in years. " I went back to El Flow and approached her and her friends. Her name was Daniella (Denis Daniellla on her ID). She had great natural boobs, a low-cut shirt to expose them and very tight body all around. I asked her is she had a bathing suit and she said she didn't. I said if I bought you one would you go swimming with me. She agreed and I bought her a suit and we went back to Terra Linda for a swim. She claimed her friend was a Sosua regular and this was her first time and she didn't plan to "work" as her friend did.
She came back to the hotel room changed into the bathing suit and DAMN if she wasn't amazing looking. Not a flaw on this girl. We went down to the pool and did some cuddling, kissing and light swimming. There were 3-4 guys throwing a football in the pool and I could read all of their minds, "Where the hell did you find this fine girl? I want her as soon as you are done with her. " She dressed well, carried herself well, a different class then the Sosua locals. After the swim we came back up to my hotel room. She cuddled with me in her underwear but was not open to doing anything more. I told her I wanted to spend more time with her and she said she wanted to get back to her friend. I walked her back to El Flow to meet her friend. She told me she was planning to go back to Santiago later that night. I left her and went for dinner.
Two hours later I was walking by El Flow and there was Daniella with her friend. I was happy to see her even though I felt she lied to me. She said here friend had made her stay and that she wanted to leave. Seemed like they were just enjoying the music, the crowd and the beer at El Flow. I couldn't totally figure it out. I offered to take both her and her friend just to see if they were open to it. She said they were "waiting" for someone. My mentira-meter (lie detector) was going off quite loudly now. I left again. Ninety minutes later I walked by and heard her friend Michelle trying to negotiate a price with someone. I'm still confused by that one. I wanted to ask "You don't like my money? "
Later this night I came across Eliani, a cute 20-year old who has 1 bambino. I got her number and made plans for Sunday morning. She's a pretty girl though has 2 scratches at the top left-side of her cheek. I didn't ask how she got them. I think 8-10pm on Thursday through Sunday is the primetime to meet a lot of good talent and get their phone numbers for later. I did call her Sunday and had her come over to my room at Terra Linda. She came over and immediately said she was hungry. I gave her 250 pesos to get food and return. She did. She got chicken and rice, brought it back and then ate it. Then she was tired. I let her nap for 15 minutes on the "cama rica" (rich bed). After that we showered and fooled around some. Overall her personal hygiene left something to be desired. I did DATY but the bad smell (even after a shower) killed my enthusiasm for that shortened my visit there.
Overall she has a great little body, breasts show some from the bambino. I had thought I might spend a couple of hours and really go at it with her but something about her said "this girl is unclean" and it killed my desires. She ended up being with me for 2. 5 hours with meal, nap, music time and shower included. I gave her 1500DP. I had 700 pesos sittiing open on the counter. She asked for a 500DP tip. I said no, I had paid her well and also gotten her lunch. I gave her 100DP. She grabbed the 2nd 100DP note and said can I have this too. Please, Please, Please. I said no. I have been very generous with you and it was ugly to be begging (I speak reasonable Spanish). She cried and whined and kept pleading. I said please put my 100 pesos back, I did not give that to you. I said if you don't, I will talk to the manager here. She finally conceded and said "Here's your F-ing 100 pesos. " The 100 pesos, about $3 isn't that much, but it was the principle. The fact that I could be very generous with her, accomodating her hunger, tiredness, etc. Then, when she picked up my 100 pesos and I asked for my own money back, she got really upset with me for asking for something that was mine. That is the street-chica element that I do not like about Sosua.
Sunday night I went back to La Passions and wanted to go with Diana or petite girl who had both caught my eye of previous visits. Bases on my friends weak review of Diana, I went for petite girl. If you go do Passions website, you can see photos of all the girls who work there. I found the girls better looking that their posted pictures. I really liked petite girls' look and got a good vibe from her. I did take her TLN for $3500. The one thing about La Passions is that they are accountable to the owner of the place, so stealing and other abusive behavior is very unlikely. This is worth something in Sosua as my experience with 20+ girls there is that roughly 50% under perform what is promised and 20% of the street chicas lie, deceive and get abusive.
Petite girl and I got back to my place, she was a good sport and came down to the pool in bra and panties at 11pm and stuck her feet in the water while I took a swim. We went back to the room and started making out. She has a great little body, a little spinner. She has 1 child and her breasts did reflect that. I did notice on this trip more than any other how the girls who had children had much more sagging breasts than those without children. This never stuck out so much to me before. I wonder how much of it depends on how the girls nurses and maintains herself. I have even found a few chicas that have breasts that are like deflated tires.
So I'm making out with petite girl and a pattern is developing. I told her in the bar I really like french kissing and she says that is fine with a smile/wink. Well as we kiss, it goes kiss for 2 seconds then she turns her head so I'm at her cheek and neck. Then I reposition face to face to kiss her mouth and the pattern repeats. I cannot get into it. I stop and tell her and she says Ok. She then starts kissing me but very forcefully puts her arm behind my head and pulls my head hard towards hers. This was way to forceful to be enjoyed. I tell her I don't like the arm behind my head. She then kisses me hard with her lips tight, rubbing hard back and forth across the front of my mouth. I'm wondering if she is trying to do what I want or is she exaggerating and trying to hurt/annoy me and saying "Ok, you wanted hard, deep kisses, here you go! " Whatever the hell is was, it was not soft and sweet. What I was looking for.
I stopped, laid on my back and said "I don't feel good". She asked if there was a problem. I said I was looking for something soft and sweet and this didn't appear to be working out. She said that it was important that I was happy and if I didn't like her, I could get my money back and go for another girl. WHAT? Did she really say that? I was a little afraid she might be about to get hysterical angry with me and I was cautious. I was trying to tell her I thought she was beautiful, and I liked her, but the chemistry in bed did not seem to be working. She agreed and didn't seem to be upset. She said she would give me my money back and I could get another girl, maybe from Carribiean Men's Paradise.
If this girl did not work at La Passions, there is no way in hell there would ever have been a conversation about returning money. The fact that she was accountable to the business owner was worth a lot. She took out 3000 and laid it on the bed and said here. Now when you pay $3500 for takeout at Passions, the girl gets $2500 and the house gets $1000. I gave her back $1000 as I didn't want her to lose money and respected her willingness to return my money. I really so, so respect La Passions for having girls who would do this. That is the kind of accountability and customer service that has customers return.
I gave petite girl a ride to the moto concho stand so she could get a ride home. She gave me a polite, professional goodbye even though she very likely was annoyed herself at the events of the night.
Later in the evening I found "Lady" in Classico's around 3am. She was the best of what was around at that hour. 19, lives in Sosua, 1 child. She has a really nice body though again having a child her breasts are not what they once were. Her performance was lackluster "here I am, do me". I so enjoy when a girl is sexy and energetic versus just laying on her back and waiting for you to come to her. If I could invent a system for chica pricing, the price should be $500DP and then service bonuses of $500-$1500 based on performance, so the cold fish would earn $1000 and the top-performers would earn $2000.
When you just have 1 week in the DR, having top-performers or at least having a provider who is accountable for their quality of service is a very important thing.
Thanks to everyone for reading and thanks to those before me for sharing their stories and knowledge. All the best.
