Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Frannie;1368201]There is a 50 foot pool at Romanoff hotel in Sosua and you can rent an apartment for about $500 per month. Also Puerto Plata Beach club in Puerto Plata has a 75 foot pool and apartments to rent monthly at a reasonable rate. There are not many places with decent pools for lap swimming as they are usually too small, curved, or have inconvenient steps or shallow areas. Romanoff is probably your best bet.[/QUOTE]I think El Colibri also has a large pool. Hotel itself doesn't look too great.

[QUOTE=Riky Rapido;1368489]After living here for 4 years, I would take a taxi out of the airport. Cost to the METRO bus station will be from 300 to 500 pesos. Always ask before getting into a taxi. .[/QUOTE]I had to pay 1200 pesos from the airport to hotel and 1200 pesos from metro station to airport. (30 $) May be I took the wrong taxi.

A taxi from the airport to Sosua is going to cost you now if I recall right 25 dollars although the ride usually costs 500 pesos round about 15 dollars.

Sebans replied to him. Confusing, ain't it?

[QUOTE=Charles Pooter;1369056]Riko Rapido was writing (although in this thread) about a taxi from STI to the Santiago Metro depot. Sebans replied to him. Confusing, ain't it?[/QUOTE]I understood that, I just tried to point out that alot of people pay gringo precio in the D. R. For example at the airport in PoP you are quoted 25 us dollars for the ride to sosua although the price is 500 pesos round about 15 us dollars.

[QUOTE=Camaro1257;1368596]Now I am standing next to the chica Lionel Ricthie wrote about in his famous song 'Brick House' this woman had the ebony skin a like a pleasant smile 5'6' about 150lbs with a back extending from her back I was like woooooooooow! So we chat up and she won't give me a price and she finally says $2500RD for ST and $3000RD TLN I tell her the tarifa in Sosua is $1500RD for ST she turns and shows me her back as she walks away.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the reports Camaro. But it's like I said before:

[QUOTE=SavePros321;1354703]Keep in mind though: not every chica plays by these "going rate" rules. Just as you might run into a chica in San Jose at the Del Rey who won't move off of her barstool for less than $200, you will have some chicas in Sosua who may be super-part-timing-it (tricking is not their only source of income) and they may come to Sosua with the intentions of getting no less than 4 or 5k for a session. And if she's fine enough, there will be someone in Sosua that will pay her what she is asking for.[/QUOTE]

Two things either happened to your "Brick House" ebony chica that night:

1) Somebody paid her fine ass 2500RD-3000RD

2) Her fine ass went home broke and hungry

[QUOTE=SavePros321;1369069]Thanks for the reports Camaro. But it's like I said before:[/QUOTE]IN Dec I had two ocassions where a chica and I couldn't agree on a price. One wanted 2500 for ST. The other didn't mind BBBJ and sex at night, but didn't want to have sex in the morning even for 3000 pesos fot tln. Whats interesting is in both cases I kept seeing the chicas all night. First at D latins and then at classicos. I hope you're right about them only tricking part time. But I don't know, some of the chicas need to get better business sense! Both were extremely attractive.

But the price is $15? I have been traveling to the DR a very long time and I don't know anyone that has EVER gotten out of POP for 500 pesos, never. If you are saying that the locals pay 500 great but none of us are locals so then that is NOT the price. Also there are small billboards posted all over the north shore with posted taxi rates and the price is $25. I understand the "gringo" price structure but if ALL gringos are charged $25. And we are ALL gringos then $25. Is the price, no? It's kind of like saying that the standard price for a ST shag in the DR is 5-700 pesos, yes it is if you are a Dominican born and raised hombre but none of us are so it is a given that the price is 1500.

I just offer that, then buy a pequena and wait. Eventually someone will come over and accept the offer.

[QUOTE=Manizales911;1369434]I stand corrected then, my bad.[/QUOTE]No problem.

From porto plata town to sousa I paid 50 pesos with other 5 people that paid 50 pesos each.

After that heat starts getting to you and you begin to think about those broads then you are just ready to go and will pay it. The rate I would always end up paying was $20 from the airport and $15 to the airport.

I read some reports on the jamaica forum. I never knew there was so much action there. The guys say the talent really works hard. I was wondering if any of my brothers have done both places.

I kind of like the looks of the Dominican chica but the guys say jamaica girls are machines. LOL

[QUOTE=Buscemi; 1367447]Put Rio on your bucket list, there is NO comparison to Sosua, yes it is a long trip and costs a bundle, but you only live once, and every GDP likes it in the bunda as part of the programma. How many Dominicanas have you popped in the corn-hole, one out of 10?

So please stop comparing Sosua to a place you have NEVER been. The steak in Brazil is better than anything I have ever eaten at The Palm for less than 1/3 of the price, so if you like to eat, you will eat like royalty for 1/3 of the cost of fine dining back home, and hump GDP's like a Prince. 4X4 in Rio make Passions look like a colmado.

I love DR as it is only a short hop from home, but there are other destinations that put it to shame.[/QUOTE]I just had to chime in on Rio. Just got back from Nov. Trip.

Yes it has its ups and downs since Help closed, its expensive as hell, Balcony can be a joke, but the termas (4x4, Monte Carlo etc) and the casas would blow your mind. The toto from Copa beach alone makes DR look like a trash can (and I love and always will love Sosua. 50+ trips under my belt and 9 trips to Rio). Put this trip on your bucket list no matter what. I caution you that the depression you will feel upon return to the USA will be substantial. You could arguably go just for the food alone. It is that good.
