Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Artisttyp;2140995]This is a great response to the restaurant question. Thanks.

I guess if you eat like a local your costs will come way down but from my past few caribbean experiences (DR / Jamaica / Puerto Rico) the food was not cheap compared to the mainland.[/QUOTE]You must live on a farm a provide your own food back home because the food in the dr is very cheap. I can go to Tera Linda's and get a steak dinner between 800 & 900 pesos. I can also get a 3 lb lobster, 2 fresh pieces of 2 to 3 lb fish with all the sides and drink included in Mamon for 2500 pesos. On average I might spend between 600 & 700 pesos(breakfast,lunch, and dinner), a day in food and I ain't a little man. So maybe someone needs to show you where the good food is for a reasonable fair. I guess if you eat at the beach it might be more expensive but then again you have to know where to go. Believe me when I say I Do Not starve or cheat myself when it come to eating in Sosua. Peace.

I see some people selling fish and lobsters on the main highway. I would like to buy lobsters and have somebody cook for me. Is there any restaurants willing to do it?

But if they knew where to eat they could eat well at a decent, obviously not DR cheap, cost. So the question should be where are the cheaper places that are also good to eat in Sosua?

As someone traveling there in May I for one want to know.

There are many restaurants which are mainly open on weekends because lots of Dominican families go eat, drink, dance till wee hours. You will not find prostitutes there but can hook up with a regular girl if she likes you. I have gone with a local girl to these places. Dominicans are very friendly and places are cheap to drink and eat. Do not eat uncooked food there. Around Sousa all restaurants cater to foreigners and charge high prices.

I try to travel to the DR about 4 times a year. I am very creative when it comes getting cheap flights. The fights have gone up 150 to 200 for the same flights. Even flights to SD are through the roof, I am not sure what the driver are but the increases are real. On my next trip I am splitting carriers. One way to POP on United and American is 230 not bad. The killer is the return trip are all over 400 dollars. My work around was to fly out of Santiago for $290. On Spirit. The god news is that I am not going through Miami.

I can do two flights to Colombia or CR for the same price as one to the DR. And I don't have to go thru Miami or mess with Sprint! I've been keeping an eye out for quite a while too. I see some flight prices that mirror something I can take to Brazil or Argentina. I'd love to mix it up to the DR more often since it's so close, but price just doesn't make it worthwhile. Oh well.

Not even out of Miami and that's just a 2 hour ride. Currently in my area the prices are normal to SDQaround 500 round-trip. No longer than a seven hour duration each way. Good luck with spirit. Make sure they don't charge you for the air you breathe.

If you fly Monday or Tuesday United and American both have flights under 250 into POP. However the problem is getting back. This trip I am leaving from Santiago on spirit. I fly Spirit about 10 times a year so I know all the quirks. The other airlines are implementing some of the same policies. I have no problems with them the good out weighs the bad.

American airlines are now charging for an upgrade for over head luggage and pre-boarding. In 2009 I used to fly into POP for 289 rt but now its 650. The key is to stay aware. Southwest flys into PUJ and with two free bags but you have to catch the bus.

OldKool, I also make about 4 trips / yearly to the DR. Mostly stay in SD and, import Cupid chicas from surrounding provinces for value added premium services, which I usually get in return, for hosting them at the capital. I understand this is not for everyone but I am into sensual reciprocity. I also understand that with Cupid chicas, you need a lot of patience and, often no shows, but once you make physical contact with the chica, it's a certainty you'll get the best of her, if you treat her fairly well. I've been following your write-ups and believe you are pretty much familiar with the benefits associated with importing cupid chicas to the capital. About flight costs, up until about a year ago, I used to be super nervous about flying budget airlines, then, I gathered the courage and flew Frontier out of PHL to PUJ round trip for $360 including paid luggage, as compared to $550-$600 that I usually paid flying AA or Delta with stop over at MIA, JFK and / or ATL. Ever since, my last 3 flights to the DR, have been on Frontier. The Frontier flight from PHL to PUJ is direct on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and, although sitting is somehow comparatively tight, the planes look new with amazing flight attendants onboard. The flight gets to PUJ before 12 noon, and I can catch the Bavaro Express bus at 1:00 pm, and be in SD around 4:00 pm, just about the same time as, or a bit earlier than, flying AA or Delta with layovers. The bus ride (very comfortable with TV & WiFi) from PUJ to SD, is 400 pesos, which is even cheaper than catching a cab from SDQ to the city. As I write this, I have an upcoming flight to the DR in 3 weeks on Frontier and, I paid $234 with $16 insurance included / round trip. Go figure! I am travelling light with a bag-pack, so won't be paying for bag.

Well, my flight was supposed to leave around 5 pm and get to Sosua by 10 pm. Plane malfunction and ok better to be safe. They waited for another plane and departure time was supposed to be 8 pm. All aboard and something on the plane and something on this plane was on fire. Surrounded by fire trucks. They put out the fire and the part which caused the fire had to be removed and a new one installed. They were not sure if they had the part. However they found the part, installed it testing took a long time. However since I was upgraded to first class they served unlimited drinks. Normally they do only after we are in in the air. For the trouble on landing they gave 100 dollar voucher. By the time I reached Sosua it was after 5 am. I had e mailed Sosua Breeze hotel and they said they will leave the key with night security. Ok hotel, nothing great. Clean and good WiFi. There is car parking inside the gate if you rent one. I had arranged car rental but all were closed when I landed. Had to give taxi mafia 20 dollars for the short ride. Did not feel like arguing wee hours in the morning. Booked one and need to go to airport to pick it up today. Tired and slept well.

Sosua Breeze said they will move me to a better room today. Let us see. Was looking to go Rocky's for breakfast but it looks like it has vanished or I did not put effort to find it. Conversion rate is 48 pesos for US dollar. At the airport the guy was giving only 40. I said No. So do not change at the airport.

Walked around Main Street work is going on everywhere. Lots of changes happening whenever they get around to get back in business. No obvious girls trolling the street. I was looking to cure my frustrations of last night but no go. Maybe when I get the car and drive around will find somebody. Maybe go to the beach and look but before that I need manicure, pedicure, massage.

After winter cold nice to walk around balmy, sunny weather.

Will report further on happenings here.

What airlines is that Sammon? Cheers.

I often do the exact same thing when I fly into SD, I have had awesome success with my Cupid girls. Like you I import them from other towns. The girls usually very accomodating. I would do it more but the spot fucking in Sosua can be so much fun.

[QUOTE=DCups;2142409]What airlines is that Sammon? Cheers.[/QUOTE]Air Transat from Toronto. Happened to be in Buffalo, NY on work issues. Nice airline. Has non stop to Puerto Playa.

Saturday. Plenty of girls on the strip. All ugly. Had a nice massage in front of Sosua Plaza hotel. 600 pesos for one hour. They moved me to nice renovated superior room. $50 per night cash. Very nice. Nice king bed with 4 pillows. Nice bathroom with plenty of hot water. They give two fresh bath towels. Wish they would include couple of hand towels.

Went to the airport and rented a car from Avis. Took moto 200 pesos. Had a nice nap getting ready for the night. Plenty of guys at the bar in the evening. Girls just stayed on the street. Quality is not good. What happened to all the pretty girls who are from Puerto plata, Santiago, LaVega etc?

Went to the casino in town but was dead. They have re opened casino at playa chiquita. Played few rounds of blackjack. Went to a nice restaurant on the strip and had big lobster with trimmings. 795 pesos. Inexpensive and tasted very good. Quality of the girls has not gone up. By this time it was 11 pm. Stood at the entrance to Classico waiting to get in. I guess it was crowded inside and they allow allowing few in at a time.

While I was waiting talked to few decent girls. One quoted 5000 al night. Laughed at her and she would not budge from 3500. Pretty girl with nice boobs although probably 28 years old. Others refused to do all night, short time only for 2000. Waiting around but still did not get in Classico. Walked around and found a nice young fairly pretty girl. She would not do LT because she had a baby few months ago. Settled with her ST for 2000 (maybe too much?). In the room she was very much GFE. We both showered. Nice big pointy lactating boobs. She said she is from Santiago. Had few tattoos on her body. No kissing (I did not try).

Kissed her firm boobs, fingered her pussy which was wet. Maybe she did not have sex for a while. CBJ for a long time, sex with few positions. She was horny. Made herself cum and sex was good. After she was not in a hurry to leave. I offered to take her to dinner tonight. Not sure if she will show up. Stayed for an hour and left. Wanted to take pics of her stand up pointy boobs but she would not allow. Lack of sleep due to all night flight problems had me drained. Slept well. Planning to take a ride to Cabarete, Puerto Plata and see if I can hook for with normal girls at at least part timers.

[QUOTE=Sammon;2142805]Went to the airport and rented a car from Avis. Took moto 200 pesos.[/QUOTE]I discovered when I was there last time that a publico will drop you at the entrance to the airport for less than the fare to PP, I think it was 30 pesos.
