Sosua Reports

[IronQuinn]

6 $ for a fuckin beer in DR? I think I was last there in 2019, I could swear it was like 1-2 bucks for a Presidente at Classico.

You say they are starting at 150%, are they dropping down to 100 quickly or it depends? I was recently in Panama and the girls were quick to take 100 as business was slow.

Do cops fuck with with tourists walking around with obvious girls of the night, or they just targeting hatians? Overall would you return? At $150 a fuck, I would not even consider Sosua, at 100 I could consider for reasons of nostalgia. Love the Su as it was my first monger trip.

You can get beer cheap walking into any of the beach tiendas. Girls are 2500-3000 as long as you tell them the price and don't ask and have even marginal negotiation skills. I was there just some months back and will be there again next month. Trust me, the Haitians will be there. That's my primary choice. Don't get worked up on the doom and gloom reports. Reading reports like the ones posted by Michael1967 I just had to shake my head. That's a prime example of the phrase, "No dar papaya. " The cops won't mess with you. In fact, you might get girls clinging to you, so the cops won't mess with them. Was in Panama last year at La Bocatorena, the going rate was $15 a pop, or $30 for a double time. I pulled some good ones out of there. As with anything it all depends on where you go and how you roll.

This trip to Sosua proved better than anticipated, but it will be the last for me.

On a positive note, the strip is coming back to life. Chicas. There also seems to be a better variety of females from whom to choose. The last time we visited, Sosua was overpopulated with rather full-figured, particularly in the rear, women full of tattoos and lacking social skills. This time, there was a better variety from all shapes and sizes with no particular group dominating the scene (other than many had tattoos). Many of the waitresses on Sosua beach made it more than obvious they were available after work for a price. One attractive waitress working at spot 66 stated whatever one wanted was no problem. In contrast to the past, this is fairly bold for semi-pros; or perhaps she was a pro with a side job as a server to solicit future clients. Music. The music seems to have returned to Caribbean style, which is a positive, in lieu of an overabundance of American varieties. Videography. Thankfully, far fewer people were recording videos for posting on YouTube and other places on the Internet than in the past. Behaviors. Mongers seemed better control of their behaviors than when things centered around the Ahnvee Hotel.

The neutral. Restaurants. The variety of restaurants proved to be fairly consistent, with nothing standing out, but there are many that we never tried. Though many restaurants closed (like Sinatra's), the replacements in the same locations seemed to offer identical menu options. The fare at Hotel Alecia proved decent and inexpensive for breakfast, but they are only open for breakfast. New Garden offers a safe bet for meals, but is over-priced. Lodging. My travel mate plans to return for two weeks just after the new year. He's been able to talk with a variety of hosts who offer a discount for that period if you talk with them directly in lieu of using the Internet for inquiries. He also prefers a small area to explore prior to booking, one with familiarity. Perla de Sosua offered him a decent rate, but it's not the highest quality. People. We noted many of the people in Sosua remember us from the past, including names. It was impressive how they remember people.

The bad. Prices. The pricing in Sosua significantly increased from the past, and my travel mate and I can eat in the United States or any monger travel destination for the current pricing in Sosua. The same is true for the hotel or AirBnB pricing. The women, well they are always costly, in one way or another, no matter the place. My mate tells me they are trying to negotiate from $150 and the proves consistent with what other mongers stated when eating meals. My travel mate drinks beer and alcohol and indicated pricing for beer in Sosua runs about 350 pesos, or $6. Transportation. Quad runners were everywhere on this trip with mongering drivers who likely never drove one in the past.

So why is this likely the last trip? Other places, such as Colombia, offer a better bang for the buck and more to do. Next stop, Medellin.

Best of luck on your endeavors.

The Dominican police were rounding up Haitians on Sosua Beach today. The police chased Haitians into the water and brought them out in plastic handcuff. Quite the sight.

Yes even my GF got deported but she bride her way back in, too bad many a fine haitains chicas that were once in abundance!!

Food isn't expensive if you look for local alternatives to gringo prices. Try "Comedor El Campito Tropical" on Google maps for Sosua. A pleasant Comedor in a tropical garden near Highway 5 in El Batey. Every meal less than $250 pesos. You do have to accept local limits too. Get there by noon or choices start to run out. They open at 11:30 close by 1:30 PM.

P.S. My travel ban from the Thai government is almost over. Man I can't wait to visit Phuket, Koh samui and Bangkok again.

Well that has to be a story in itself.

[MwenByen]

I completely agree with you on this, the prices are extremely high in that town. Restaurants charge between $700-2500 pesos for food. Having a hotel that has a stove is a plus. At least you can go grocery shopping. A while back I written a detailed report on why the women of Sosua charge high rates. They have to pay folks to watch their kids, store their clothes, pay rent in two different accommodations, pay the high prices for food and last but not least break off their padrote and mamadorte. Pimps in Latin terms, if it wasn't me having a business tied to Dominican Republic more than likely I wouldn't never return. Don't get me wrong I love my women Haitian black all the way too mulataa and very bottom heavy. But hell I'm not going to be paying $65-140 for some the same ass I can get in the motherland for $2-15! I don't won't this place to die because so many people worked so hard to build it up. I think after this year I won't never return to Sosua never again too.

They have pictures from being on those 4 wheel shits from last time they were there. How much do they cost to rent? I remember 20 years ago renting a scooter for $35/ day. That was a one time only thing because it was only $14 to rent a damn car and go wherever you wanted.

I believe they are also a more expensive than a car (about $60/ day I think) - you can get a car short term for $40 per day. Gringo price. The four wheelers are cool and a bit safer than a scooter but you will still come a distant second in a car crash- they also have a nasty habit of flipping over if you hit a speed bump at speed- you also have to think where you will park a 4-wheeler. You can't leave it on the street at night.

Here is a picture (below) of a restaurant named La Nortena Bar that had very good food. You can order food off the grill in front as it's cooking and select your choices. It's decent quality chicken and ribs. You can eat there or take it with you. Very reasonable prices. A bit of advice is don't go there on a Sunday afternoon when they are closed.

As far as beer and chica pricing, I will tell my mate he is paying too much for both.

Your mate is drinking and whoring in the wrong spots. Beer is usual less than 200 and for 9000 pesos for a girl she better be a super model with a golden pussy. He can pay what he likes but that is pretty damn much. I over pay for semi pros / amateurs with service extras and I don't pay that.

Great report. The owner of the hotel I stayed in last time lives in Florida. I hit him up directly for my next stay and that mf wanted more than the price online, so after reading the hotel thread I booked at Alicia Beach instead. I am only going because my cousins decided to have their birthday there this year. The group is staying for 5 days, but they will only get 3 days out of me before moving on.

My last day here. Well, when I woke up this morning, I was done with this place. By now, 3 am on Friday, I might come back. I'll give my final thoughts on this place in another post.

Michael, sorry we missed you and wishing you luck in Peru. T and I enjoyed seeing you in Cartagena last year. We came to the same decision after this trip (leaving tonight), but have no ill feelings about the DR. We simple decided for the pricing other venues offered better options. Stay safe.

Yup! Sirs chicas don't give a shit for asking for things even if they don't need it, funny I had a semi reg chica for a part time GF I asked why she did not havev a microwave, Blank stare any way I buy her one I go back to the states, then return a month later I'm at her casa I then ask where's the microw wave? She gave me some half ass escuse it broke and was going to have it repaired by here cousin, WTF these chicas will play you for stuff,

You never said she asked for a microwave. You just said you asked why she did not have one. I think it is foreigners that play themselves when they go to these places and think the locals should live or want to live how they live back home. I do not think I have been in any Dominican homes outside of airbnbs that had microwaves. Half the time the power does not work anyway, so a lot of good that will do. Give them money and let them decide what they need to buy with it.

[AsianSeeker777]

Unless you treat the chicas like shit, then you should never feel bad or embarrassed about what you do for them. I posted part of this story on the Cartegena board, but left of bits because I didn't want to be called a sucker, but when I was in Cartagena last year, I spent a lot of time with a newbie who was a Colombian hippee (people at my Airbnb called her Senorita Loca). When we first met we immediately clicked. We hung out all day had dinner, went dancing until the bars closed. I kept asking her what she wanted and her answer was always whatever you feel right giving me. My thought was, she's running a scam. After she spent the night, I again asked her what she wanted and she said her daughter's birthday was coming up and she really wanted a bicycle. She actually showed me the bicycle and it was like $60. So, I gave her what her I felt another chica would ask for spending the night and having sex with me several times without a condom (after about the third time, it no longer made sense, I'm fixed and if she had an std I would have caught it anyway). Anyway, a few days later I took her to the store and we got her kid the bike and I paid for it. I didn't think much of it, but a couple of weeks after I got home she sent me a video of her daughter riding the bike and thanking me for helping her mother buy it.

It was $60. Filling up my gas tank in Seattle is $70 bucks. A cheap solo dinner alone with drinks is $50 and I eat out every night. $60 meant basically nothing to me but someone's kid had a good birthday because of it. As long as it doesn't hurt me, I'll do what I can. I encourage you to do the same. You can be a giver as well as a taker. Shit, the men in my family all die when they're young. I'm 57, my kids are successful, so they don't need it and I can't take it with me. If it makes someone's life better that is willing to hold still while I pound away on her let her have it.

She gave me some half ass escuse it broke and was going to have it repaired by here cousin, WTF these chicas will play you for stuff, even if they don't need it they will sell it or give to other family members, You have to be a cheap bastard and say fuck no! The only way if you buy shit for them is one your married, or living in the samr house with them or in a commited relation ship, let them stay in there lane,! Even then rent a frunishrd apartment for your self, fuck buying or furnishing there whole house! Its in grained in them to ask for stuff shut that right down you got to bbe a bad boy and say no, you have to be respected Sure on super rock stars that have there act together and don't ask for much youm may give them a gift, there are some chicas that are well off and don't need to gringo you, your not going to find them on Pedro cilante! Man there going to try you drum roll please, there going to ask for, cell phones motos refridgerators, hair pieces wigs cars house land money for there family the list goes on don't be that guy!!
