They have the same system in Guadalajara, I used to date a girl down there and when I would visit we'd use one occasionally because she was living with family. It's the same in Tokyo too with love hotels and I think almost anywhere in the world where it is common to have multiple generations of a family living together places like that not only do well but are basically a necessity.
You can not beat the price or convience of cabanas. The girls get more sexual in the surrounding. Jacuzzi stripper poles you name it. Few hotels can compare. Every city in the DR has them.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa; 1310398]You can take a taxi to a cabaņa or a moto or drive a car there (or walk in if you like). Most cabaņas will call a taxi or a moto for you when you want to exit.
Bora Bora is one of the nicest Cabaņas in Santiago. Theme rooms (Caribbean, African etc) , Executive and basic rooms. Some Cabaņa rooms are two floors. Just about all Cabaņas have a menu that you can order from, food and drink. Room rentals are usually for 4 hours, but you can stay as long you want, as long as you pay. Rates usually from 250 pesos and up (depending the amount of time, the time of day and the day of the week). Friday and Saturday nights some Cabaņas will have no available rooms. Excellent air conditioning in the nicer Cabaņas. Hot and cold water, videos and music, sex chairs, jacuzzis and stripper poles in some Cabaņas. You are given clean towels, a small bar of soap, a small package of pussy soap, usually two pieces of candy. After you enter the room, the phone will ring, asking you if you want anything to drink or to eat. After a few minutes, you will hear a buzz or a knock on a small door in the wall, where you will receive what you ordered and the towels, soap, condoms, also the bill. The worker at the cabaņa can't see you and you can't see him. When you are done, you just exit through the garage of the room (each room has a parking space with a garage door, after entering through the open garage door, you touch a button on the wall to close the garage door, which also signals that the room is now occupied).
Some pics I took of two rooms at Bora Bora Cabaņa in Santiago. I let these two women choose the rooms. One chose the Caribbean theme room (two floors with a jacuzzi, about 1300 pesos) , the other room was Ejecutivo with a jacuzzi and skylight, for around 800-900 pesos.[/QUOTE]Hey Jao curious have you stayed in a cabana for an extended stay like if you stayed in a hotel room? I've given serious thought into staying at a really nice cabana instead of a hotel when I finally come to SDQ. I mean seriously those cabanas are VERLY nicely built. Hell when I used one in the SU I was amazed how clean it was. The bed was nicer then the bed I have at home. Hell they had a nice flat screen and whatever you want to eat or drink at any hour was a buzz away.
So I was wondering if I ever decided to stay at a cabana for a few days would it cost me alot or would it be on par with staying at a nice small villa or hotel room

I doubt they didn't understand what you wanted to do but more like they were surprised that you were requesting something which in their eyes was dumb. You were most certainly the first person to make such a request and it took them aback a bit because staying more than a few hours would not make sense to them because they don't use cabaņas in that way.

You can certainly rent a cabaņa for more thank few hours, it may seem a little foreign to some cabaņa owners so have some patience with them. When I traveled from SD to Azua and the Haitian border there were no hotels really to speak of except some REALLY run down pieces of shit so I decided to stay in cabaņas. I negotiated one in the campo outside of Azua for a stay of eight days and another in a small town just east Haiti for three days. The owner of the one outside of Azua lived in New Jersey for twenty years and understood what and why I was requesting to stay there for an extended time and gave me a sweet deal of 1000 pesos a day. The owner of the other cabaņa initially tried to tell me it was 200 pesos for every three hours I was there no matter how long I was there, my spanish wasn't quite good enough to really get into it with the guy so I had my lady friend take over the negotiations and we struck a deal, I don't remember the price. Keep in mind that these were places in the middle of east bum fuck and were pretty much empty so the prices will be higher in a city like SD or Sosua. The cabaņas in PP LaRoca (sp?) are crazy nice and they will rent by the full day, I plan to stay there for a couple days the next time I'm on the north coast.
[QUOTE=Mr Gogo;1310362]Can't put the name and number here but PM me if you need it.[/QUOTE]Hi Mr Gogo, I'd like the name of that cabana sine I wil be in PP in a couple weeks. However, when I go to send you a PM, the PM option does not appear as it does with others. Any idea what's going on? If you could PM me the info, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks, Poly

These are som very dumb people.[/QUOTE]Most times I am in and out of a cabaņa in less than 4 hours. One time I entered with a woman around 4am, she knew we would sleep and not be out by 8am, so she told the worker. 8 hours (the second 4 hours was cheaper than the rate for the initial 4 hours). There was no problem, no difficulty asking for more time (it is more money for the cabaņa) , the woman asked for extra sheets (because the air conditioning was cold). If you overstay, the cabaņa will probably call you at 4 hours and you can just say 4 more hours and go to the small door in the wall and pay for the extra 4 hours.
[QUOTE=Flsailor;1309143]I can confirm what Leroy said about buying Sildenafil (box of 96 pills) for $975 Dominican pesos at the Mini Market Latino. If you want to find the market, from the corner of Rosen and Alejo Martinez start walking away from the Sosua Beach, pass the baseball field that is behind the New Garden hotel. Keep going and you will cross Dave Stern street, the next street you will cross is Ayuntamiento. The mini market is just half a block after Ayuntamiento street on the right hand side. There is a big green President beer sign on front of it. You can't miss it.[/QUOTE]I was there yesterday. Bought one box (96) of generic 100 mg viagra and one package (12) of a "natural" herbal formulation called Power. All for 1650. 00 Dom. Pesos. $41. 50 USD. They also have generic cialis. What a civilized country.

Ima check out those cabanas in PP when I get a chance. I believe Mr. Gogo was talking about the same cabanas in PP in his last post as well. I tell you what though if I can get a good daily rate as you did, staying in hotels and villas will be the thing of the past for me

The cabanas I stayed at never gave a room key. You close the garage door from the inside and the door between the parking space and the room, you can lock from the inside.
Some more pics of various cabanas. The garage door half open with traffic cones or plastic yellow caution things, means that room is being cleaned. Some cabanas are owned by Chinese Dominicans. In Santiago and Santos Domingo, there are a few places that have 5 or more cabanas next to each, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW7nHD_GebY[/url] Lit up at night like a mini las vegas. The more expensive rooms are usually closer to the entrance.
Years ago there was a cabana just east of the main strip in Cabarete. Heading from Sosua towards Puerto Plata, there was a cabana on the left hand side of the road, up a small hill, after the airport.

A little help if possible:
I've stayed at the New Garden Hotel for the ISG rate. And was wondering if any one knew if the Terra Linda Hotel offered any discounts like that? When I contacted the Terra Linda, they quoted me a price of $99us per night. Does any one have any information on this?
Thanks All
