[QUOTE=DR Monger II]Should one worry about going to Sosua alone? Theres no one out on some streets at night.[/QUOTE]I really don't think you have to worry about being in Sosua alone, but just don't be stupid about it late at night like anywhere else that is not your home. Travel with just enough money to get drinks and food at night and you shld be ok. I wouldn't wear flashy jewelry in a place that wasnt my home here in america or sosua and wouldn't go to a chicas place late night.

Put yourself in the place of a street criminal. Minimize your attractiveness as a target.
Unfortunately you can't really disguise your basic circumstances. You are an extranjero who probably has money and theftable stuff so you automatically get considered. So don't make it any worse. Dress down. Don't even bring jewelry of any kind - no chains, rings or watches . Have a cheap unfashionable local cell phone. Don't carry your passport. Don't carry a wallet. Never have more than a few thousand pesos on you. Keep the big bills (500,1000) in one pocket and the smaller bills in another so you are not flashing the big bills when you pay for small stuff. Keep passport, cash, wallet, etc. in the room safe. Never get drunk or seem distracted or otherwise vulnerable. Act like you are aware of your surroundings. As long as you seem like you probably don't have much worth stealing and might cause problems there are probably better prospects around.

You know that in a macho society certrain mannerisms are expected as a man. You don't have to be "Clint" .
I feel sorry for Apostropheman whose been missing in sosua. There's a whole thread about him in DR1 under the living section. I really wonder what happened to him.
Does anyone know if Casa Marina is guest friendly?

No it's not, in the sense of bringing in chicas for free. No AI ever would because food and drinks are no charge.They are very strict about keeping out non-guests (no wristband). If you check the chica in and pay for her as a guest there is no problem and if she's into eating and drinking she may get a kick out of it. They also have day rates that are worth finding out about - I have heard locals can get in pretty cheaply on a day rate and when I was there I remember lots of dominicans coming in on weekends.

The people at the front desk can deny any chica entrance into their hotel, if for some reason they don't like the chica. Most all inclusives throughout the island usually have many local Dominicans who visit on the weekends. Overnight rate for a chica at the casa marina is probably over 60 dollars.
I met some chica online years ago who lived in Higuey. I was in Sosua one time down stairs from Classicos and the chica who had I met online came up to me and said hello. She had come into Sosua to make some money with her friend and they were staying at the Casa Marina. My wingman asked her much and she wouldn't budge off of 100 dollars. The next day we saw her and her friend with some extranjeros in the casa marina.
One time I stayed at the Coral Hamaca Hotel in boca chica, and there was a pro staying there. She would service guests from the hotel in the room she had rented there.
This will be about my 5th trip of 2009. I will file a trip report upon return of this trip on Jan 14 to 23rd of 2010, with photo's. Does anyone know for fact if Residencial Hispanila Villas is guest friendly. NG appears to be filling up and Just want to try a more private upscale rental.

They are private villas.

Was at the Shark Bar last week and the place is kool and awsome having some beer and watching the games. Just the food got problem with.
Just so expensive there and all. When I was there the special was like 6 wings and fries for 350 pesos. 10 bucks or close to it.
He gets down to Rockys prices he be jaming there with the tvs and all.
thanks for sharing your 'recent' experience. so with this yanet girl & her gf, you ended up with a 3-some? how much did you end up paying? i have not yet been to pop or sosua so pardon my naive questions. when you make a date with a girl in the clubs like classico it is one price, if you get them to come in the afternoon can you negotiate for a lower price? classicos and latinos are discos are takeout places where as passions is a place where you can session in short time rooms upstairs? all insights are welcome.
[quote=nacho]went to classico's one weeknight, there weren't too many people but the chicas were trying with the bump and grind. i like that! gave my number to one chica so she would call and left. slim girl, also a rubia (light brown or honey coloured hair), her name was yanet. the next day i was lounging around when she phoned up and asked to come over, i said sure. she must have been right around the corner as the next thing i knew she was phoning from outside. i went down to meet her and she was with her girlfriend from the night before. i figured what the hell i will invite them for a drink but i wasn't really looking for 2 chicas, and the girlfriend wasn't really to my taste. now i am not really a rookie, but that was a rookie mistake. they weren't looking for a drink and conversation and i should have known that. it wasn't long before the cute one asked to use the bathroom, and when she came out she had stripped down to only her thong, walked over and sat on my lap. well what could i do....i had the hots for her anyway.
a few days later i called yanet up and she came over alone, that was more to my liking. these girls do get possesive though - one night i was out having drinks at classicos and chatting up other girls and got text messages from her giving me shit. lol i guess they don't like to share their business!
that's about it, was 10 days of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118][CodeWord118][/url] and light mongering, spent most of my drinking socializing at lou's. i don't like the bar below classico's or latino's too much. i am usually by myself and i find it hard to shake the chicas off (the one's i don't want i mean) at those bars.[/quote]

Yes. Classico/Latinos are discos and the girls are all just hanging out looking to get picked up, at Passions they are employees who do massages - and there are both massage rooms for basic massage and BJ and bedrooms upstairs (with a small pool in the courtyard). In the DR everything is always negotiable.
A late Christmas gift.
Darcy the missing Sosua guy was found safe yesterday.
Details are emerging.
Thanks to DR1 for being on the front line.
