Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Jarmondy; 1377704]I just make a reservation at Sosua Sunset Hotel.

Has anyone here stayed there before?[/QUOTE]You probably needed to ask that question before you booked there, LOL.

[QUOTE=Runner Up;1377337]Excuse me if this sounds ignorant but I'm leaving in the am and just put this plan together today! I have been at this for a while and I really don't think I need a million prostitutes around all the time. I'm pretty sure caberet will suite me and I was thinking about getting my hotel there. Anyone living there with an opinion?[/QUOTE]If you don't want to be at ground zero, then I would recommend Cabarete. Its a short drive or motoconcho (if you're up for an adventure) to Sosua and the beaches imo are nicer in Cabarete. It's also windier so that helps on a hot day. But if you're mainly going for mongering, nothing beats sosua due to convenience. Since I stayed at an all inclusive in Cabarete, I couldn't bring any chicas to my place and had to settle for short time rooms. On my next trip ill definitely stay in Sosua.

[QUOTE=Llttf;1377832]Sunset Hotel ? Never heard of it. Where is it located?[/QUOTE]It is across from the beach, isn't it?

[QUOTE=SavePros321;1377841]You probably needed to ask that question before you booked there, LOL.[/QUOTE]I have a friend that live in sosua his the one that book it for me he told me the hotel is nice and its not far from the action. Since it's only $35 a night I was like " let me give it a try " I only put $100 down payment in case I don't like it

He says he is Gods gift to women and all the girls line up at the airport to see him and fuck him. He never mongers with mortals like us. Be careful replying to him so he will just go away. Judging by the lack of responses most people remember how he crapped up the Medellin board.

I'm pondering a trip to Sosua, but I don't speak Spanish. Not even a little. Zippo. I probably speak more Klingon than I do Spanish. So do I have a prayer of pulling off a successful trip? Hypothetical: I walk into Passions and get swarmed (if I'm lucky!) by hot chicas. What the hell do I do next? Point at one of the menu options? Bluff my way through? I know I'd be fine at the expat bars round town, and most of the hotels would be ok too. But chica negotiation will be a hoot. Thoughts? Should I find a gringo wingman before going to Passions and looking like an easy-prey newbie?

You won't have a problem, especially in Pasions. That being said, you can use aids like google translate on your phone or come with language translator, and an exchange rate converter or program on your phone.

You can also avoid some of this by doing some prep before your trip like reading the reports on here, researching the money denominations and exchange rate, learning some basic phrases, etc. Hooking up with an experienced wing can also be helpful.

You can withdraw lessons daily from the nearest Banco Popular.

Orgasmico is 100% correct in what he laid out. My Spanish was nil as well before going to Sosua but I pretty much did all of the items he listed and had no problems having a great time. The only Spanish I knew before arriving was 'hola', 'gracias', and 'mi mono en tu culo'

Like I said, a great time!

[QUOTE=Drai;1378398]The only Spanish I knew before arriving was ... 'mi mono en tu culo'[/QUOTE]Which means "my monkey on your ass". Definitely an all-purpose useful phrase for non Hispanophones.

[QUOTE=BizPilot11;1378133]I'm pondering a trip to Sosua, but I don't speak Spanish. Not even a little. Zippo. I probably speak more Klingon than I do Spanish.[/QUOTE]You probably know more Spanish than you think, as many words are the same in English or similar. Taxi, banco, policia, pharmacia, antibiotico, sexo, vino, si, no, gracias, por favor, mami, papi. Can you guess what some of these words mean?

Even if not, you are coming to a tourist area where there are non Spanish speakers from all over the world managing to get by including expatriates who actually live in the DR and hardly speak a word of Spanish.

Other locations, Santo Domingo, Santiago, even Puerto Plata, not so much.

I wouldn't commit to "one" gringo wingman who you have just met. If he is incompetent or dishonest it could damage your trip. But I would hang with a variety of ex-pats and regular visitors who will show you around and give you some useful pointers. And meet them during the day before the main action starts. Difficult to assess each other at night when everyone has had a few beers, the deafening music is blaring and there are lots of distractions. Good places to meet up are Rocky's Bar for late breakfast and the adjacent bars of Siempre Sol and Ruby's on the beach.

Passions is the last place you need an interpreter. There are fixed prices on a printed menu and plenty of English speakers on the staff. Other places a friend will come in handy however. Do [u]not[/u] put yourself into the hands of locals. The best that would happen is that you will pay double for everything. The worse is that you could get mugged or scammed. Remember that the scum of the island finds its way to Sosua looking for naive newbies to rip off. There are always ex-pat and gringo mongers there who will help you out for free, though they might not refuse a beer if they have been helpful.

Chris Long & the Doctor in Sosua.

Had the opportunity to spend a five day MLK weekend in Sosua and the Doctor decided to come along for fun.

Hotels:

The Doctor stayed at the New Garden and I stayed at Sosua Suites (Rocky's). The Doctor was happy with his room at the New Garden, I was not happy with my room at Sosua Suites.

Sosua Suites:

Sosua Suites is across the street from Rocky's and basically just around the corner from the strip where all the pickup bars and discos are located. This is good and bad, good because it's just a few paces once you pick up your chica and there's no I'd check, bad because the noise from the discos does not stop until 3:am. My room was on the side of the building closest to the strip and it is LOUD I mean LOUD if you're a light sleeper you aren't going to bed until after the bars close at 3: am (Then you have to listen to that damn dog that's on that side of the building bark for the next three hours) as the monger below me said it's hard to set the atmosphere with all that noise from the disco. Internet was painfully slow at times and hot water was a luxury, had to take many cold showers in the morning, no hot water, and no soap left in the room, had to ask for it. I had originally booked the nicest suit in the place and contacted Rick twice before I came down to make sure my reservation was set. Was told both times the room I reserved was waiting for me. When I get there Rick tells me someone else is in my room for the first two days so I will have to take another room for two days until I can switch. When the time comes for me to switch Rick is MIA. Looked for him two days straight and despite us setting a definite time to meet so I could switch rooms, Rick is nowhere to be found and no one in the restaurant knows anything about it, was just told Rick isn't here. The problem with the Rocky's establishment is that for anything and everything you have to deal directly with Rick, (and Rick isn't the most upfront guy). If he isn't around you are SOL. Not sure if he purposely did this, not sure if he just doesn't want my business any more but he lost me as a customer.

Sosua:

The monger location in Sosua is compact, the whole monger area can be walked in 15 to 20 minutes tops. With the exception of La Passions and CMP Club the girls in sosua are all freelancers. There are a number of Dominican women available but there is also a very large number of Haitian women. On previous trips the standard price was 1500 pesos for short time, one hour, and 3000 pesos for TLN (all night) I found on this trip that inflation had set in (To many guys over paying) the chicas were all asking for 2000 for short time and 4000 for TLN, I had a very difficult time getting them down to 1500 and 3000 even when they did accept it they were always asking for propinas once in the bedroom. This is a very disturbing trend and one that I hope does not continue. I always made it a point when negotiating with a chica that I wanted DATY and BBBJ, this was not a problem to get from the chicas and I received these services from every chica I had. The number of chicas seemed down, Night time was better than day time and weekends were better than weekdays. Rumba always had a good crowed during the day time and D'Latine had a good crowd at night El Flow would also attract a decent crowd during the night. The newer clubs heading towards Passions were dead, I mean dead at night. Even with the numbers of the chicas being down, any time I wanted sex I could always find someone that would meet my taste within ten to fifteen minutes no matter what time of day or night or day of the week.

Freelancers can be found along Dr Rosen Drive which is the street New Garden hotel is on, in the New Garden itself and along Pedro Clisante which is the street where La Passions, CMP and the pickup bars and Discos are, also along Dr. Alejo Martinez heading towards Banco Popular and on the beach. At night they are all in the discos and along Pedro Clisante between Dr Rosen and Camino Del Libre streets (the strip). D'Latin was really the place to be at night. I personally prefer this set up to the old classicos disco up stairs. With the new set up you can cruse the strip at night see if there is anything you like, look in all the bars, walk through D'Latin walk through Rumba and see if there is anything you like before you make your choice. The old way you could certainly curse the strip and look inside the other bars but then you would have to pay to go up stairs to the classicos disco to see if there was anything you wanted in there, if you left you would have to pay to get back in.

Money:

Everything works in Pesos you will want to exchange your money. I always exchanged my money at Bano Popular where I would get good rates. But there are also money changers along Dr Rosen going from the New Garden up to Pedro Clisante who will shout at you asking if you need to exchange money. I only used these guys a few times when I needed to change money and the bank was closed. Got decent rates from these guys not as good as the bank but not bad.

La Passions:

[url]www.passions-sosua.com[/url] I visit this place every time I am in Sosua usually only once. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have set out to visit passions and would run into a freelancer along the way and take her instead. In the past I have always gotten great service from the girls I have chosen here and there are some HOT women to be had there. This time I ended up with a real self-absorbed star fish with a bad attitude. I don't know if she didn't like me, or she didn't like sex, or she didn't like working there but she had a real bad attitude. Half way through I got tired of being treated like the Ebola virus took off the condom and started to get dressed, I was mad and was going to complain to someone, the momason the owner, someone about this service. She must of read my mind because she asked me what was wrong. I told her I was tired of being treated like this that I expected better sex and if she didn't like me in the first place she should of told me and I would of chosen someone else. I don't know if the girls get in trouble or not if you complain or if anyone there would even care if you complained but her attitude changed 180 degrees. She became friendly and we started the session all over again from the very beginning, this time with DFK, DATY and a good BBBJ and good full service. Passions has some great girls but there are also a few duds so you have to be careful in choosing.

CMP Club:

[url]http://www.cmp-club.de/#home[/url] CMP club is just a few paces down from Passions and I poke my head into this club every time I am in Sosua but have never session with a girl here until this trip. Prices are the same as passions for the hour 2500 pesos and there are some equally HOT women in her as well. Both the Doctor and I chose chica's from here, I was very happy with the chica I had I thought she was supper hot and she gave me great sex, DFK, DATY BBBJ. The Doctor was not as happy with his chica, she was superhot and he said she was great at sex but gave him a CBJ. I always interview first and tell the girl I want DATY and BBBJ before I decide if I'm going to take her or not. The Doctor did not interview first and is a little more timed than me, he probably didn't say anything in the room when she slipped the cover on.

If you are coming from New Garden on Dr. Rosen Drive, to Pedro Clisente Street, you will want to turn to your left and go down about five or ten minutes to find Passions and CMP, they are both on the right hand side of the street. The strip with the clubs and discos begins right at the corner of Dr. Rosen and Clisente to your right on both sides of the street and run for about three blocks or so. You can also get to the beach from this street, it will be on your left before you reach the casino. This is the route I always took to the beach so I could see if there were any nice looking freelancers before I hit the beach looking for freelancers.

Safety:

I always felt safe in the monger areas no matter what time of day or night. I walked towards passions either from my hotel or the strip a number of nights at 1, or 2 in the morning and felt perfectly safe.

Final Thoughts:

Sosua is still my favorite place to monger in the western hemisphere, it is probably a poor man's AC or Pattaya but a convenient place para los Estados Unidos. It's a great place to monger when you can only get an extended weekend. If you have extended time a week or more then Asia is the place to be, not Latin America or the Caribian.

My only fear is the weekend millionaires are going to ruin this place. Fools who go down and throw money around for a few days like they are Gill Gates (then go back home where they still live with their mother) there are already signs of this happening with the chicas asking for 2000 for an hour and 4000 for TLN. And asking for propinas once in the bed room.

For those of you who like to throw money around and inflate the market, I suggest you start mongering in Costa Rica, there you can pay a full cien for an hour with no DFK and a CBJ, fun fun.
