Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Fantasy]It won't be long before Medellin is next at the rate we are going. I have been there so much in the last two years, but equador, maybe so.... you don't go to quito do you?
I do have a location in paraquay, and one in northern chile that are still like the 52 to 1 days of sosua (even better really), but I hesitate to share them just yet. I have watched medellin go from bargain basement to $100 rooms with $150.00 *****s in less than 12 months. So very sad, as I am one of the few who rate Colombia over Brasil as the best quality this hemisphere has to offer, and for me personally, the best in any hemisphere. its a matter of taste, and my taste is now and will always be "Latino".[/QUOTE]

...er, uh......you did mean "Latin(a)" didn't you? :eek:

(you're scaring me, this is a side of you I never saw) (lol)

Since there is talk about Colombia here what would be the best place (safe) to go in Colombia (i really liked Cabarete vs. Sosua in Dr) .

John Jr[/QUOTE]Might br better to ask this in the Columbia section!

Miss hangin with you guys! Sorry, BF about all the ''crap'' on the AR board. Just some machismo!

Thanks everyone for you earlier comments. Ford I will use your reccomendations
for long term rentals.

Everyone, I'm going to Sousa this week and staying at a chica friendly hotel.
I'm going down to check things out. A friend and co-worker lives in Sousa.
He will be in West Africa were we work for this trip. So I'm on my own.

My concerns, I don't drink allot due to meds. But can be socialable and have
a couple. I'm really not going to try to pick up a girl every night. But, I'm sure
I may meet one who I can't say no to. In these regards I'm afraid I may put
folks off and seem stuck up to the culture there.What do you think? I don't want to ride the back of a cycle or use a taxi. This may [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] some off.
These things will make me standout rather than blending in.

I may end up living there. I'm reading Espanol now. This forum is the best for
the real skinny on the streets of any country.

How far of a walk from Voramar to Sousa beach? How are the Casinos?

Thanks,

Cap!

to reach the beach in sosua from the hotel voramar it takes you round about 30 minutes depending on how fast you walk. the casino in sosua is right next to the voramar (playa chiquita) and has a nightclub too which is open till 4 am in the morning.

You think!? Listen Capt. If you are new in town you automatically stand out. If you dont speak Spanish you stand out. If you are NOT Dominicano, you will stand out. I do understand your concerns. They are to some degree legitimate but dont worry. Not going with every chica actually garners respect from some of the girls and increases your chances of selecting the "right" one. If you opt to walk alone at night, make sure that it is for short distance and in reasonably lit areas. Same city rules as anywhere apply. Studying Spanish? You will need this very simple phrase more than an other in DR. No, gracias. For what its worth. I stand out more than anyone in any crowd in any country. Beleive me.

[QUOTE=Boriman]How far is Casa Linda from DClassico? What is cost per night? What is the chica policy? How can I get in contact with them? How is the air conditioning?[/QUOTE]I stayed at Casa LInda in november 2006, it's the best. Chica friendly no problems at all, 3 bedroom villa, kitchen, dinningroom, 2 bathrooms, and swimming pool with big backyard for about $1050 for the week, you have to get your own food and stock the house, with three or four people that should not be a problem at all. They also have armed guards at the front gate with shot guns.

Cap,
Stand out? Once you get down to Sosua and walk around that place you'll soon realize how silly your concerns are. Don't worry, you won't have any problems.

Sosua and the neighboring town of Cabarete are tourist (primarilly European tourist) "hotbeds." You will be in the company of literally hundreds of neophytes "shuffling" along in their slide sandals, cargo shorts and crumpled tee-shirts. Many don't speak much Spanish, many don't speak any Spanish.

You say you don't drink much due to medication - well that's good! At one point on this board you were given the impression that being drunk and disorderly was a means of public acceptance in Sosua? (lol) If you are socialable but "fly below the radar" down there you'll be fine.

The one issue that might present a problem is the fact that you don't take taxi's or motoconchos. This may present a logistical issue of getting around.

This strikes me as a bit strange. How do you get around in other LA countries?

From the center of town, the Casino is too far to walk (especially at night) and it is located down a dirt road that floods (ALOT):eek: I don't know that I'd want to be walking there - and certainly wouldn't want to be walking back from there- especially if its 4am, I have a little Dominicana Hottie on my arm, I've already dropped 25mg of "V" and I'm ready for [i]"sexy time!"[/i] :D

I think you should reconsider your motoconcho phobia - not for the purposes of blending in - but for the purpose of enjoying your stay.

Have a great trip.............

Yeah, Ford is right. And that's the problem. Full of short-term gringos on a quick beach and pop holiday, throwing money around, without much respect for where they are.

IMHO. Sadly,

[QUOTE=Capt Dps]How far of a walk from Voramar to Sousa beach? How are the Casinos?

Thanks,

Cap![/QUOTE]Be EXTREMELY careful with regards to Casinos in DR. A large number of casinos in DR have a major scam running there and they have fleeced thousands of tourists. I have posted a couple of detailed reports on this site on this subject. Check them out. Also, check out the site [url]http://www.superkenoscam.com/[/url] for further details.

Other than that, Sosua is a very tourist friendly town and I wouldn't worry about standing out or not having much Spanish.

Good luck.

Member #2128 - Sosua was ruined along time ago by "overpaying short staying" Gringos.

There are still a few of us that respect the laws of the jungle and try to maintain reasonable pricing but it ain't easy.

The reputation that Sosua has with tourists is that Sosua is a place where the girls are "easy".

The reputation that Sosua has with the working girls is that Sosua is a place where the tourists are "dopey."

........its sadly changed alot in the past 5 years. :(

I think the demise of Sosua is a bit overstated. It is still a place where you can go and live out your sexual fantasies with attractive young women at a very reasonable price.

Highlights of my most recent trip included taking three gorgeous young women to a cabana and rolling around on a bed with them for a couple of hours doing it all, and then a todo la noche with two gorgeous, horny women, fucking one at bedtime and the other in the morning after sleeping between them. When you consider that this activity combined cost a little less than $250 and compare to the cost of an hour with an escort in the US, this is great value--and an overwhelming experience.

Maybe it can be done better and cheaper somewhere else, but the DR is close to the eastern USA, so is convenient.

Try it, you might get used to it.

Lou at the Shark bar raised its price for a Presidente beer to 100 pesos. Where does he get off charging such as high price. What happened to his quote on his web site? " Intention is to bring American guys together so they can have a place to shoot the shit and listin to American music (That much he did). Then it went on to say his goal was "not to make a proit but to break even". Why is he hitting his own friends over the head with his prices? I will no longer spend my money there.
