Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=TripleDarknes;2646764]Exactly, no travel bans, no vaccine mandates, they had flexible curfews stretching to the limit by allowing night clubs open in the daytime and limited alcohol sales, and despite all of that they kept the country relatively open. And despite allowing people from a country with the highest death rate they didn't have an insane death rate themselves and they managed to increase tourism.

Meanwhile Thailand and the Phillippines had a massive and sustained travel ban and lockdown. Asia's loss was the DR's gain..[/QUOTE]You are wrong, my friend. A Dominican cannot go into a grocery store, a bank or a restaurant without proof of vaccination. This is the mandate. I myself was stopped on the corner of Duarte and Conde one month ago when I tried to enter the grocery store. However my accent sucks and they realized that I was a gringo and let me through. But Dominicans are held to a different standard. My girls in Sto Domingo there are fine with vaccine mandates; indeed, they are more interested that the foreigners they fuck are vaccinated than wearing a condom.

So not only is there a vaccine mandate in the DR, but the mandate is enforced. Most Dominicans have had a Chinese vaccine, but many have had a third (or fourth) shot of the Pfizer vaccine. Like most places, the vaccines seem to be preventing deaths in the DR, but the number of infections is enormous and are currently spiraling out of control.

If I had my way, I would strap everyone without a vaccine to a gurney and give them a jab. That seems like the practical way to deal with the situation. But despite my authoritarian approach, I am not passionate about this subject. If you are willing to die of COVID, I don't care if you are vaccinated. Go ahead and die. But don't make up bullshit about how the vaccine hurts people or doesn't have a beneficial effect. The various COVID vaccines work well, and the unvaccinated are dying a lot more than the vaccinated. No one gets "long COVID" from a vaccine, but millions got it from the disease.

There's guys who use terms like "The Matirix" and Submission. Those guys may be a little goofy but they spend money. I know a guy who's well known on this board who despite loving Colombia will not step foot in the country because he is unvaxxed. We can discuss the merits of whether he needs to take a shot. But That dude can't go to Colombia or Thailand or the Phillipines but if he just wanted to chase hoes on El Conde he could sit in a bar or fire up the dating apps and he can also have hoes and food deliivered to his room.

Now I agree other than strapping dudes down if all the countries that we frequent said "No Jab no entry" guys would be lined up at CVS's all over putting all their limbs in anyone's faces demanded 5 booster shots.

Trip.

[QUOTE=OlderNotWiser;2649006]Hi there,

Has anyone got any hotel recommendatins. Girl friendly and near one or two of the clubs where you can find some company? Fairly easy about price somewhere comfortable and clean, 3/4 star standard.[/QUOTE]3/4 stars I guess the Hotel Napolitano is a decent choice. You can pull girls right from the Hotel Bar. When I came on my first trip I couldn't get to my hotel because my flight was super delayed so I was dumped at the Hotel Discovery literally across the street from El Conde. I got up in the morning looking for a sim card and breakfast Thinking I had to get to a Mall little did I know everything I needed was right there on that street.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

First timer here.

I have been looking at some apartment hotels, would bringing a girl there be unwise? I understand there would not be any security.

Also, what are some ways to scope out some decent massage parlors? Not sure if asking a taxi driver would be a good idea. I tried to RTFF, but was just looking for any additional advise a newbie may have missed.

You require customers to be vaccinated to enter a bank, grocery store or restaurant but you allow foreigners to enter your country without being vaccinated.

Has anyone got any hotel recommendations. Girl friendly and near one or two of the clubs where you can find some company? Fairly easy about price somewhere comfortable and clean, 3/4 star standard.[/QUOTE]I like the Boutique Palacio Hotel on Duarte. It is one block from a grocery store (on the Conde), a short walk to the Plaza de España (which has a large quantity of restaurants with outdoor dining), 2 blocks from the Plaza Colon and not too far from the various strip joints and brothels (that I never go to, but that is a matter of preference). The wifi works well and the rooms are pretty nice. Sometimes the Conde has some hot chicas (although half of the Conde chicas are skanks). But if you have an itch in morning or mid afternoon, a short walk to the Conde often lands you a decent BBBJ or more.

Most importantly, you can walk in with three girls and they don't blink as they simply photocopy the cedulas and let you go on your way. They can be very difficult if your girl does not have a cedula, or is clearly underage (I saw them kick out a kid who clearly had a fake ID), but that is the way I want my hotel to be. In recent years, they have opened up a bar, but it is tiny and overpriced. However, the bartender was a knockout! Breakfasts are pretty good; the cook does decent fried eggs (I like them over easy, which is hard to get in Latin America. "Huevos fritos ambos lados con yema blandita" Security is good at night and the rooms have working safes.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2649629]Interesting concept.

Last year they had a pretty extensive curfew you had to be inside by 12 noon on the weekends no alcohol was sold after a certain time and on the weekdays there was a sun up to sundown curfew. All of the main legal strip clubs and casas where closed. People STILL came. They even closed some of the beaches but the dating apps still worked.

They banned everything except pussy. The people come for sex and stay for the nice beaches, like I said they understood the assignment. As long they they allowed people to come into the country they realized they would make money, They probably made a fortune because for a time ALL of the other popular pussy countries were closed.

Just got back from GBP. It's one of those places that makes you think what a beautiful and crazy country, and what greatness in being a man.

I walked in, one other client, about 6 girls. I ordered a drink, 300 for a rum on ice. Chatted up with the lady bartender, hit it off well with her, kept teasing her about how her singing sucks (she was singing along).

Sat for 20 minutes. Quality of the women? Terrible. But hey, it's $36 USD. Just have a couple of drinks, go get your Johnson played with, blow a pop, and go home. Stop crying like a baby.

I was quoted 2000 pesos. Yeah yeah yeah, you can get it for less, you're Casanovaspare me. It's $36. That's a good price if ever there was one.

Was so indifferent about the quality there, that I grabbed the bartender lady and told her pick a girl for me. She said you serious? I said yeah. She picked one for me, we went to a room, and did what needs to be done.

Those rooms are funny boy. They got two or three settee kind of couches, and (get this) a barber's chair! When I walked in I hopped on the chair, turned to the chick and told her "alright, 2 on the sides, a fade on the back". BTW, those rooms are disgusting. But again, just tough it out. I'm a fancy guy myself, but when the times call for it, I'll walk on a carpet barefoot where you can feel another guy's jizz. I'll do it and I'll be proud of it, dammit.

For first timers to GBP: the place is in Plaza Guridy on the second floor. There's an entrance to the stairs on the side of the building. Go up, and when you turn the corner it's the first door on the right. It's got a neon sign that says "GBP". I say all this because I read all the reports on GBP and couldn't find this info. It's an awesome bar and I recommend you go the bar for real has a good vibe, the whole thing belongs in an old movie. As bad as the quality was, I'll be going back a couple times this week for sure.

[QUOTE=Langer;2647012]When to the GBP tonight for the first time girls asking for 3500, the last reports on here had the price at 1500 ? Am I getting ripped off as an obviously gringo? Or because the taxi driver followed us in? Or price have just gone up? I'm not interested in paying that type of peice so I'm looking for something in the 1500-2000 price range.[/QUOTE]I was there the week before Christmas and it was 1500. Unfortunately. There were about 7 girls, and none were higher than a 6. I stayed about 2 hours and left.

[QUOTE=Mrhappydr;2650300]You mean they finally got rid of the exercise equipment?[/QUOTE]LOL. I can only verify that the first room on the left doesn't have the exercise equipment. Although I would've appreciated some dumbbells, had some time left on the clock after I was done.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2650649]Great description of GBP. Do the girls still give free lap dances where you can play with their tits?[/QUOTE]I don't know anything about that. But it was a pretty chill atmosphere around the bar, and I bet you can get some mileage touching up on girls outside.

It's a cool bar in its own right.

Arrived in SD rate. Today. Can't wait to dive into gpb chicas. Got off to a good daytime start hooking up with a gbp chica in the hotel before she shows up at the club. The airport uber is becoming a hassle again. At the airport, I arrived 0400 flight and selected uber xl to pay a little more to get a driver with less hassle. So I thought. The guy still wanted to negotiate a higher price for the hotel as he was driving. I was firm about how much going to pay him. We agreed to cancel uber and I pay him Indriver's price. Worked out fine this time. The airport taxi mafias are finding ways to get their money.

As reported by others, the same thing happens whenever I leave Boca chica using uber, the hassle hustle.

Crap --I checked out why Mystik wasn't picking up the phone. The infamous no-tell motel Mystik is now closed. I have many good memories of hanging out in front, shooting the shit with the homies, chillin, relaxin' watching the hunnies coming out of bars with the quickie dates. That was a damn good spot for some fun times. All is not lost on ave Pasteur, as Mystik moves on, in between the bodega and the CECOM office there is a hidden back-alley doorway. No name, no number, no sign, no address, nada, a casalito filled Venezualana, Colombiana, Dominicans for $100 bucks and lower. The place is small. A few couches, a bar, beer 200 pesos, and clean cabanas to take the chicas. Ask the gazcue bodega where to find the chicas next door. The place is waaaay in the back of the alley, nothing on the street.

There is also the chica de casa blue building close to Mystik. If one of the local, friendly, English-speaking car washing touts brings you in, ya going to pay.
