Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=Manizales911]Has anyone stayed at hotel Penalba,looks like a decent place. I went there for lunch last week and the food was outstanding,pricey though.[/QUOTE]I never stayed there. Hotel Palacio on calle duarte just off el conde and about one block over from mercure hotel is very nice. The chicas usually like the hotel palacio, it has a small pool on the 4th floor.

There are two other smaller boutique type hotels in Zona Colonial, Coco Boutique hotel and Hotel Atarazana, these two hotels have from 4 to 8 rooms each. Prices for Palacio, Coco and Atarazana are about 100 per night for two people.

[QUOTE=Joe Roma]....... Hey Bq, I went to that baseball game. It was so much fun. At times during the game I had to remind myself that it was not the 7th game of the World Series because the crowd was acting like it........[/QUOTE]
Glad you gave it a try. Dominican baseball games are nothing like the games in the USA. Any Licey vs Aguilas, any playoff or championship game is nothing but fun. How you like them on top of the dugout cheerleaders?

Next trip take your chica of the day to one of the movie theaters on the Malecon. The movies start 7ish and 9ish, just something else you can do in SD.

[QUOTE=Joe Roma]...... I like having Santo around for many reasons. I like having a translator with me, makes it easy to talk to girls. I also like to drink too much sometimes and he keeps me safe.[/QUOTE]
I didn't know you drink. LOL When I first met you I believe you were buying your second Jumbo and also had a bottle of red wine on your little plastic table. The chica your were with is that your favorite? She seemed like a nice person. A lot of guys may say you don't need a guide but I think Santos works out good for you. For the small fee it can make things a lot easier. You seem to have your program together in the DR. Maybe next time we can chat more if you can get your eyes off of that chica.

It was nice to meet up with you. This was a good trip for me as I am finally starting to put some faces with the posts. I actually had a chance to chat with 4 members on the board this trip.

Drove over to the Acropolis Mall, Ave. Churchill north of Avenida 27 de Febrero, underground parking. Had drinks at Docks which has two parts that sit at the top of the stairs from the street. You can smoke in Docks. Had the baseball game on tv that joe roma went to, I can remember the score being 2-2.

Groups of chicas at tables, some couples, groups of guys. I got the phone number of some big chested dominicana. Lots of teenagers walking up and down the steps.

Then I met up with Koki at cats a-1 divas (maybe it has a different name). Small bar with about 4 chicas, curly haired blonde dominicana supposedly runs the place and will try to accommodate your requests for particular types of chicas, I was told. This bar has a curtained off side room with A/C, with a stripper pole where you can go with a chica for 500 pesos and the chica will dance for you. This bar is on the second floor of the plaza pictured in the photos. The door is next to the last door going west on the second floor. The plaza is located about 100 feet west of Avenida Lope de Vega on Avenida Mejia Ricart.

After this bar I met a friend who was in Praia bar which is also on Avenida Mejia Ricart on the other side of Ave. Lope de Vega, 500 pesos entrance, all light skin teen aged rich dominicans inside Praia, no presidente cerveza in Praia, only Brahma beer, which I don't like. I drank Vodka and Orange juice. I stayed at Praia waiting for a 23 year chica who was coming with a friend. As always the chica took over an hour to arrive, when she arrived Praia was closing.

There is another place one block south of Ave. Mejia Ricart and west of Ave. Lope de Vega, maybe called rumba, that place had a traffic jam outside of it.

We then drove over to Mint. Mint was packed Saturday night late. I stayed till after 4am, then went home alone. The 23 year old took a taxi over to the apartment to visit me at 4:30am, but I was sound asleep and never heard her phone calls.

Happy hour prices are reasonable and some of the waitresses are cute. They even have a Facebook page.

Jaosousa, thanks Any directions in Juan Dolio? Streets or Google Earth ones, please.
"El Caucho, Showgirls and Caprichios are brothels in Juan Dolio, they open around 6pm during the week. I was also told chicas are available in Chocolate bar in Plaza Chocolate, just down the street from Coral Costa Caribe hotel on the small beach road in Juan Dolio. Saw a sign for pussycats in Juan Dolio, which I believe is the VIP bar on the main highway, never saw that place open."

From Santo Domingo take the highway toward the airport, but stay on the highway towards boca chica. After the gas station in boca chica, the highway is wide open. Great road to drive on. After about 10-15 minutes or so, you will see a sign saying BOULEVARD, you want to get off there. Boulevard, Juan Dolio. That will put you on the main road into Juan Dolio. You will see a sign for Guayacanes beach, just keep going straight. That main road in Juan Dolio is usually lit up good at night, they have many tall street lights. Three places with chicas are on that main road, very easy to find them. Showgirls has a bright sign, at night you can't miss it, it will be on the right. 150 feet further down on the right is El Caucho. Caprichios is at least a half mile after El Caucho on the right.

I am sure I can find it on google earth and send the images. Chocolate bar is on the beach road after coral costa all inclusive hotel. Showgirls has another entrance toward the beach road next to some outdoor seating area. Boricua online's cute chica from Santiago worked in el caucho, her name was yatna or something.

Always nice to see the chica do a nude dance before you pay to play with her. One light skin chica in showgirls, nice body, no stretch marks, you could tell she had no kids, everything was nice and smooth.

SDQ and Boca Chica veterans:

What are the public transportation options to get from Boca Chica to Santo Domingo? Would you recommend "guaguas" , "publicos" or taxi? What would you use at night, during daytime, and which one you wouldn't use at all?
(I do not want to rent a car.)
Where do I board guagua in B.C. and where will it take me in SDQ? I'd like to get as close to the "action" clubs near the hotels on the malecon.
I assume guagua will take me to some sort of a bus terminal. If so, how would you go about getting from there to a place like GBP during the day?

I appreciate all responses.
Thanks!

-L. S.[/QUOTE]Guaguas (smaller type buses or vans) are probably the cheapest, no more than 100 pesos (less than three dollars) from boca chica to santo domingo. When you are in Boca Chica, depending where you are in boca chica, you can ask a motoconcho "Quiero un guagua por santo domingo", quiero sounds like key aire oooo. From what I remember the guaguas congregate on the main road in boca chica not far from the gas station that is on the main highway, you can walk there as well, or pay the motoconcho no more than 25 pesos.

Some guaguas let off passengers on Avenida mexico just north of zona colonial, others let off passengers near park independencia, also near zona colonial. From there you can get a taxi to gbp, 10 minute or less taxi drive to gbp from there. Pay the taxi between 150 to 200 pesos. When returning to boca chica, do the opposite, tell the taxi driver you want a guagua to boca chica. Just be careful, some guaguas do not run all night to boca chica, you may want to ask when is the last guagua back to boca chica.

Taxi will cost 25 dollars or more between boca chica and santo domingo. Watch your pockets in the guaguas. You should have no problem taking a guagua.

[b]NEVER take Publicos[/b]

If you're traveling to Santo Domingo from Boca Chica take the gua-gua. The most convenient location to grab a gua-gua in Boca Chica is in the city's main park across from the cathedral. There you will be driven to a local bus station, where you can transfer to an express bus to Santo Domingo. The entire gua-gua ride should cost you about RD$50 and take approximately 40 minutes. You can disembark near Ave. Duarte and Ave 27 de Febrero, which is near the markets after you cross the Ozama River. From there you can grab a taxi for a fee of about RD$200. Give the driver the cross streets of your destination and negotiate the price. To get back to Boca Chica, grab a taxi to the bus station near Enriquillo Park, which is near Ave. Duarte and just a few blocks south of Ave. 27 de Febrero, your original disembarkation. Then board a Boca Chica [b]EXPRESS[/b] bus back home. The bus will take you back to the park in Boca Chica. If you intend to return to Boca Chica by gua-gua, I highly recommend that you return before sunset. Gua-guas stop running around 8pm.

If you intend to return to Boca Chica by taxi, it will cost you approximately US$30-US$40. By the way, the cost of a cheap hotel or an overnight stay in a cabana will cost you less. You can reach Apollo Taxi at (809) 537-0000.

[QUOTE=Kingjose]This girl sounds similar to one who worked in Sutra before it closed down. They used to call her "Princesita" (Princess) when she came out stage. She was short, had dark hair, ample bussom, nice butt, no tattoos and about 22 to 25 years old.[/QUOTE]She was the hottest chica in sky house. Kind of a sour attitude though. I went into sky house on another night for a beer, the chicas did the lineup except for her, she continued to sit at the back of the bar and she couldn't care less.

There is another house between sky house and girl's house which has a neon sign on the wall, something like Latin Club, it has not opened yet (or maybe it opened and closed). I was told that the same guy who owns Girl's House owns that house.

Helpmann has the method - unless you want to pay $30-$40 each way by taxi, and it works very well. What you save on taxis in a single round trip will pay for 2 cute 18 year old chicas.

The bus you get in the parque central (the north side) takes you to the gua gua station on the main highway across from San Andres and doesn't cost anything - it's just a shuttle. You then get on the express bus for SD. You pay the cobrador after the bus takes off and it's useful to have a 50 peso note ready.

You can get express gua guas in the opposite direction to San Pedro and Romana up by the gas station at the entrance to BC from the main highway.

Surprisingly few tourists take these buses. It's very possible to meet interesting chicas on the bus. They're not uncomfortable, you get a nice tour and the cost is less than $2.

Big thanks to all for your suggestions.

I've been taking "gua-gua"-type buses almost daily for the first half of my life... I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about $70-80 round-trip taxi fare and all I wanted was "authentic Dominican experience," but I like taking local transportation when it's safe and as long as there are no chickens in the cages hanging above me (i'm don't mind if the cages are on the floor.) Ride on a "local" bus may even bring back memories from the childhood :)

Staying in a cabana overnight - yep, it shows who has real, on the ground experience and who (myself) doesn't. I thought about renting 1 night at Jaguar, the place where i stayed for 2 night in May. Cabanas are easier and cheaper solution. Again, thanks for the info! Beers are on me (Dec 5-12 in B.C. and a few nights in between in SDQ)

L.S.

Last time I picked up some street walker on the Malecon near the Isla Gas Station, I thought about taking her to the hotel Navarro and renting a room for a short time, I believe Boricua Online said the price was maybe 800. Instead I drove the ten minutes on the Malecon to get to the first cabana and paid about 800 pesos. Nice thing about hotel navarro it is very close to the action. If Boricua Online could write the prices (por un rato room and overnight price) it would be appreciated. With that streetwalker all I wanted was an hour. I went into the hotel navarro one night to see the cuban bartender that boricua online mentions, but there was no one behind the bar. Also as BBQ Ribs has stated there is a guy that has a food stand in a part of the parking lot for hotel navarro, BBQ Ribs said the sandwiches were good.

Short time on Navarro is 800 pesos, daily on second level is 1500 pesos, near $40. First level there are a room or two for short time and other rooms are reserved for Foxys strippers. Cuban bartender usually works there early pm, she also works on Foxys bar.
