Santo Domingo

Did you guys in Santo Domingo feet it yet all?

[QUOTE=DCups;2590107]Good to know. I'll be there in Boobland in 17 days. Anyone ever stay at Hotel Riazor?[/QUOTE]Yes, its a good hotel (last year before pandemic started at least) had a 24 hour cafe. Its by a noisy road some rooms better than others.

[QUOTE=MrGogo;2590967]My boy was celebrating his 60th birthday at Mixer night club so I went to support him. From Zona Colonial to Mixer in uber was 277 pesos. No cover and the place was amazing. Outdoor with a pool with about 10 girls in string bikinis. Multi level with white sofas in VIP. A big cooler with ice was already on the table consisting of a bottle of grey goose (4 K pesos), three presidentes, orange juice, cranberry juice and bottles of water. We had a platter 10 wings, tostionos, fries, short sausage and grilled chicken pieces. Security even offered to send over girls if we wanted. After we finished the food platter we ordered the cooler with the same as before. I left home with 5 k pesos and came home with 1 k, so be prepared to spend money at club Mixer. Overall it was an amazing experience.[/QUOTE]I've been to Mixler a couple of times It was OK but I'm not really a club guy (at least not in the DR) but I will say if you liked Mixler you'd dig the Club at the Hotel W&P. Hell the restaurant there is good too but the Club upstairs had some of the most beautiful women I've seen on the Island.

Trip.

Trip.[/QUOTE]That's Vent Lounge. La Santa Lounge, Paris Bar and Lounge are among others. OldKool made a good point about these venues but its something else to do in SD.

Clubing when you are in 50 plus does not work. Chris Rock was right you do not want to be the old guy in the club. I like latin dancing salsa bachata are great. You have to be willing to rub shoulders with the locals. Speaking spanish and being confident is required. SD has some great airbnb options. Most girls love netflix are thrilled to have warm shower and air c netflix iondition. Layiing next to pretty girl while watching netflix is a good night.

I usually do the movie and casino scene.

I have been to several clubs in the DR, as despite my age I have nothing to be ashamed of (and hope springs eternal).

I have not had much success in clubs either. Its not the rarefied atmosphere of the clubs that makes hunting so unproductive there, it's the nature of the young ladies. My belief is that the chicas in the clubs are typically from rich families, and don't care about my money. When money fails, charm can often win the heart of a young woman, but it is hard to be charming in a foreign language with 95 dB background noise. A few pros can occasionally be found in some of the clubs, but in general the clubs are not fertile hunting grounds.

Rightly stated, those places are frequented by people with money (often in dollars. Often times of questionable provenience) and is dedicated to flashing blings. Most of us at a certain age, knows the futility of such inane gestures. The people that go there are also in company of others and are not looking for anyone. Language may or may not present a barrier while the decibel level certainly is. The other day, I was at a beach when some creeps started using their vehicle with humongous speakers to play their music. I had to call the cops, it was so atrocious and hurting to the ears.

Having said that, I remember a man who probably was in his 70's (at least 7 years back) in a well known Santiago club called Lovera, who had a very beautiful young Santiaguera in his arms dancing to soft music. The man was a good looking white man, dressed classy and was not with any other male. I certainly envied him but that definitely did not look like the "wham bam, thanks maam" scenario which most of us here are for.

Clubbing in the DR is not to meet other people. Groups of friends go out to dance and socialize with each other. They do not interact with other Dominicans.
Very much. Even a gold plated gringo has little shot. We are used to going where the putas are so we assume that all the women are of that mentality. After spending time in Boca Chica and Sosua you assume all the chicas you see are point and click. This far from the truth.

Fellas didn't mean to start any jousting regarding the club seen. Just mentioning another other vibe to do in SD. I also occasionally also like to visit: Merca Santo Domingo, Avenida Duarte and Coliseo Gallistico Santo Domingo.

Gentleman,

Are there any buses that go from SDQ airport directly to Sosua or Puerto Plata; or do I have to take a taxi to Caribe tours bus stop?

The bus does not go directly it makes 2 or 3 stops but is o ly 10 bucks and will take 5 hours but is a pleasant ride. Bring a jacket. The air condition is frigid. I do it all the time. Bring water and a snack take a nap and you are there.

Thinking about booking a last minute trip to the DR if the travel restrictions from the UK are relaxed from next week and Colombia is still on the red list.

I much prefer the big city to the beach but not into finding girls online, like doing it in person.

Been reading the forum and it seems like most of the clubs / bars like Mixer, Paris etc are filled with regular women, are there any clubs or bars that are filled with freelancers?

If not I will probably spend a few days in SD to see the city etc then head to Sosua.

Thanks for any advice.

You can find a bus that takes you to Sosua from there without having to enter the chaotic city. Check the schedule to find a ride that adheres to your flight arrival etc; the rate is not 430 pesos but 450 pesos ($8). This timetable states it takes 4 hours but it is easily 4. 30 based on my experience of last week.
