Santo Domingo and personal tastes
I don't think you enjoy urban environments.
[QUOTE=Turgid;1602087]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.[/QUOTE]
