Sosua Reports

Well said sir.

If you are of a positive mind and demeanor you can take a lemon and make lemonade.

The "crackdown" has occurred in the past and it will happen again in the future.

To me its NO IMPORTA because I know how to navigate the island and not just depend on 1 street (Pedro Clisante) to satisfy my carnal desires.

Carpe Diem...


[QUOTE=Charles Pooter]There is definitely a crackdown. Mainly targeting unescorted and undocumented girls which, in the nature of things, includes many haitianas.

Hard to distinguish the effect of this from the usual seasonal downturn and the effects of the economic downturn. Also many "oldtimers" are saying there is general decine in quality since the "good old days". This may be true but is a separate issue and would not be obvious to those who have only been going there within the last four years anyway.

Nothing to stop anyone going with a positive mind and having their usual great time. May need to shift your asses away from the New Garden and the Strip a bit more and explore the surrounding areas, but you will be glad you did afterwards.[/QUOTE]

Great report Kyle.

And I applaud your business model.

NEVER REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR...

Well done.


[QUOTE=Kyle Fox]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.[/QUOTE]

I wanted to get report or some feedback on el colibiri. I have my trip planned for this upcoming January with a group of friends. I wanted to know how far away from the strip is this hotel and if it would be problems when bringing the ladies back. I previously stayed at the casa marina before for my 1st trip and now where trying to step it up a little. The group consists of 4-7 people and we wanted to have an apartment style hotel. Any recomendations will help. Any villa/condo thats in walking distance of the strip would be good if not any hotel with apartments of suites close to the strip.

Thanks

I am asking you this because you have been to Sosua in the last 2 weeks and you have experience traveling in the area.

According to posts on another site, these has been a major crackdown in Sosua. They say girls girls are being arrested on the street if they are not with an escort. They also report that there is no action in town during the day, and only late at night at the 2 largest discos. They claim the the mayor is trying to get all chicas of the street and it is working.

At first this report seemed beleiveable. Another site (****) had over 200 inquires on this but they closed the thread on this.

Since then I have read several reports from Sosua including yours, which do not mention a crackdown. The guys who seemed to start this are a couple of bitter egotists who seem like like they might start a hoax.

So I ask you, are there any signs of an actual crackdown in Sosua? I know things are slower than they used to be, but that would be far from a crackdown.[/QUOTE]I was in Sosua and Santo Domingo recently and yes, there's a clean up going on. Sosua still had ladies, specially at night but they were afraid of being picked up and the area in El Conde (SD) had very little action. No, it's not a hoax!

If you can read Spanish, this will tell you what's going on:

Directly from Politur website:

POLITUR, FISCALIA Y POLICIA NALCIONAL ENCABEZAN OPERATIVOS EN ZONAS DE RECREACION TURISTICA.


La Dirección General de la Policía de Turismo (POLITUR), en coordinación con la Fiscalía del Distrito y la Policía Nacional, realizó un gran operativo en las zonas del Malecón, Parque Independencia, Zona Colonial, Av. Sarasota, entre otros puntos, donde fueron detenidas decenas de personas, dentro de ellas mujeres que se dedican a la prostitución en los entornos de los complejos turísticos, situación denunciada por diferentes sectores afectados.

El gran despliegue de estos operativos coordinados encabezados por POLITUR y que contó con casi un centenar de miembros y diecisiete fiscales, se realizó luego de una reunión que sostuviera la Asociación de Hoteles de Santo Domingo, con varias autoridades encabezada por Ministro de Turismo, Lic. FRANCISCO JAVIER GARCIA donde se trataron varios temas, como la electrificación del Malecón, reforzamiento de la seguridad en la zona, relanzamiento de Ciudad Colonial, entre otros.

Durante el operativo fueron halladas decenas de armas blancas y otros objetos cortantes, así como también la sustancia denominada “plomerito ó acido del diablo”, que portaban muchas de las mujeres detenidas.

El Mayor General PEDRO ANTONIO CACERES CHESTARO, E.N., (DEM), Director de POLITUR, manifestó que estos operativos se mantendrán permanentemente no solo en esta zona turística de la capital, sino que nuestro supervisores tienen las instrucciones para que se realicen en todos los polos turísticos del país donde POLITUR tiene presencia, porque nuestra misión es precisamente mantener y mejorar el clima de paz, tranquilidad y sosiego que viven estas zonas de recreación y descanso escogidas por nuestros visitantes.

Ok, I am in Sosua right now. I did see police/army? Last night at the main intersection of Clisante and Rosen, but I didn't see any effect on the girls. In fact, I wish they would crack down a little just so I can walk down the street in peace, at least during daylight hours. This place is nothing but an open brothel. It is my first time here so here is my report in a nutshell.

Go in any bar on the main street you see local women sitting alone and assume they are working. It is not complicated. The major places, Classicos etc, have more. You will not be allowed to sit alone long. I usually tell them right away, in Spanish, go away and leave me alone, unless I am interested. I'd say 80% of them I would pay *not* to touch me. The other 20% are excellent depending what you are into. I have found 2000 to be the typical price but I don't bargain too hard if I like the girl. Then I finally found Passions which is way down the other end of Clisante. I was told the girls will leave you alone unless you call them. This is not true but they are much easier to deal with, and more importantly, much hotter. The 'menu' of services gives you prices up front and you have some nice rooms and they are expanding. Plus from my experience and others says level of service much higher. There are some other clubs as mentioned nearby but I didn't try them because there were so many I liked in Passions.

Fwiw, I always walked to and from Passions even though parts are very seedy. It is a long walk. If you are not used to this just take the mototaxi who are almost as annoying as the street girls.

There are some really good people here but this place has seem much better days.

I was in SDQ this past weekend for 5 days and did not see one chica on the Malecon nor on Independencia. Ran into one chica, cute little spinner named Alexandra, outside the restaurant next door to the Mystik Hotel but when we came out of the Girl's House twenty minutes later she was gone. She went down to the casino and not a minute too soon as the Police pulled up at the exact spot where she had been hanging.

I had been in Sosua the first week in September and the Politur was randomly cracking down on chicas without cedulas, walking alone and Haitianas at that time. At that time, 600P got them out. I've been told it has gotten worse and they aren't letting them out til the next morning. There were still plenty of chicas but as usual this time of year, the selection was not what it will be in late November, December and January.

[QUOTE=Kyle Fox]She was a great GFE although in the morning she did not want to french kiss.[/QUOTE]I am the same damn way when a chick tries to kiss me in the morning. Hell our breath has been marinating all night into a hellified dragon. The last thing I want to do with a girl in the morning is kiss her in the mouth. Not even if we just brushed our teeth. You need to give it to at least noon for the funk to settle back down. Chill dude and forget that morning kissing shit. That's nasty!

Hell man, when I got a massage from Rihanna she wouldn't french kiss me :( A lot of the other girls did.

What's the situation with chicas friendly hotels with girls "on site" in Sosua?

[QUOTE=Philippe22]What's the situation with chicas friendly hotels with girls "on site" in Sosua?[/QUOTE]New Garden has a steady stock on site, and many others are just a short walk away.

They all want to be your steady 'novia' for during your stay.

Are there any sorts of newspapers or magazines in Sosua or POP that will have classifieds for girls?

I'm arriving to Cabarete next week.

For the Spirit Air Specialist, I have a great deal on car service with Santiago pick up to drop off in Sosua or Puerta Plata. PM me for more details.

No. That's not how the trade works on the North Coast.

Why would you want to look at a brief and probably misleading newpaper entry when you can walk out of your door and choose "in the flesh"?

Remember that most of the DR population is illiterate (consistently rated worst educated population in Latin America in survey after survey) and, judging by many posts on w h o r e boards like this one, a lot of mongers are hardly better. Of course there are newspapers, but you rarely see anyone reading one except in barbershops or dentists (etc) waiting rooms.

You know, they make mouthwash for that.

Yeah, sorry for the late check in, but my last two days in the DR turned around completely when I met an expat living in Cabarete. This guy has more regular girls then you can count on two hands, and he was nice enough to show me around to the nicer areas outside of Sosua and to introduce me to some of his girlfriends' friends. Changed my take on DR completely. I am now seeing one of his girlfriends' roommate.

Frankly, I have nothing against Sosua as a resort if I were to stick close to the beach area. There is a casino, plenty of decent restaurants and bars, and a beautiful beach. However, if judging by what others have said about regular girls and their reactions to Sosua, for my return trip, I would like to have a hotel recommendation for Cabarete. All I need is something on par with the Sea Breeze but not in Sosua. So far I have not found anything comparable except for Hotel Kaoba which averages $64/night on Expedia. Any other suggestions?
