Daytime action in Santo Domingo
As for daytime action here are some options.
Slip on me (needs previous reservation) but operates during the day.
Gbp opens at 3:00.
Call service pm me but will cost 5000.
There is a place in Nunez de Caceres almost Kennedy second floor similar to gbp.
If you are really freaky and nasty SW's on malecon on the way to the motels usually around Reina motel cheap but not very good looking.
Hotel palacio is perfect for you
La.
Palacio is just under 100 a night. It is girl friendly right in the heart of th colonial zone everything you need is a short walk. They have great breakfast buffet that made me get out of bed. Has small pool and gym. I have many fond memories of the place.

Many Latin American Destinations Better than the DR
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1599950]You keep bringing all these other places into the mix because you have been there and can compare but once again, most people on this thread have only been to DR. You can't really ask a man why he prefers chicken over steak if he has never eaten steak. All he knows is that the chicken is delicious. When I said debate I meant SD vs whatever place, not us arguing over an issue.
Maybe I misread. From your original post I thought you wanted to know why Santo Domingo over Sosua. Now it seems you want to know why Santo Domingo over big cities in other countries. Many people on this thread live in the US and take short trips so the proximity and price of Santo Domingo is better than going all the way to Rio or elsewhere. Remember that for the US citizens, if we go to Cuba then we have to sneak and go through a third country to get there. Others like the soul and flavor that Santo Domingo has to offer. In Lima you are not going to find Peruanitas shaking their big round asses to Merengue music. And most of the year Lima is quite cold anyway. Rio is just too damn expensive these days. 10 years ago only Thailand could come close to Rio. I have not been to Rio in about 4 years. I had a trip planned for next month, but my ex-girlfriend warned me to just forget about it for now. I have been to many cities in Colombia, but Medellin is not one of them.
In a recent post I did state though what separates DR from the others is it's down home feel. Whereas the other places will give off a New York if you don't know a stranger then do not speak to them vibe, DR is totally opposite. You can walk up to anyone at anytime in DR and have a conversation with them. It is laid back. On top of that you can be riding down the street in DR and see a chick walking. You can pull over and she will get right into the car with you. Half of the time you can take her to the motel from there. If she does not have a man, then you will for sure exchange contact info with her. That shit is just not going to happen in any of the other places you mentioned.[/QUOTE]The Dominican Republic is very low on my scale of mongering destinations. Much of what I will say though is a matter of personal taste. I find in terms of looks the chicas are less beautiful than those in most other Latin American destinations. I find the service level of those chicas the worst in Latin America. I would agree with another poster that Sosua is a dump. Santo Domingo is hot, with terrible traffic and very difficult to navigate. The taxis are a ripoff and not as available as taxis should be. And I could go on and on. The only advantage that it has going for it is its proximity to the US. Lazy mongers take advantage of the short flight without being aware that its proximity to the US causes it to be more expensive than other Latin American destinations with the exception of Rio and possibly Panama. A two week and more mongering trip to many other Latin American cities will cost much less than a similar trip to Santo Domingo from any part of the US. To me it's a no brainer.
Sosua is low on the Scale
[QUOTE=Frannie;1602101]Having lived in Sosua for a couple of years, I really cannot agree that Sosua is a dump. Compared to what? Miami, New York? Sosua is a pleasant little town with nice beaches, access to adequate medical services and schools, supermarkets, numerous restaurants, close to an international airport, and a number of nice residential places to live some of which have pleasant breezes in the summertime and a mild climate in the winter, meaning that indoor heating is virtually never necessary. Real estate prices are very reasonable, for example for $1000 per month you can rent a very nice apartment that would cost $2000 or $3000 for an equivalent in Florida or New York, and there is wireless Internet access that has recently been much improved, plus cable TV with 200 channels for a very modest sum.
You can also find an unlimited supply of young attractive women to have sex with for a very modest fee. Of course if you are not sexually attracted to women of color, then this would not apply.[/QUOTE]I do like women of color but the women who provide p4 p in Sosua are not a representative sample of women of color. I believe that if you are not good looking you should at least provide good service which I found to be lacking in Sosua barring the Haitians who seem to be not as available as before. Sosua fares very low in comparison to similar mongering destinations. The beach and seaside activities around Sosua are quite pleasant though.
