[QUOTE=ItalianStallion1; 1143721]My first trip to the DR with last minute plans.
The wedding is being held at Occidental El Embajador on Saturday and I will arrive on Wednesday morning. I have yet to book a hotel room since I am highly confused with all of the choices. I do not want to stay with the wedding party since I do not need them to see me with multiple chicas per day.
I am looking for a hotel that is chica friendly, chicas hanging out in hotel bar / restaurant area, maybe SW close by, close to case de chicas, playboy palace, etc. Any last minute recommendations to help me out?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Ps: where do I find the google map that everyone is talking about?[/QUOTE]The pool at the El Embajador is one of the best in Santo Domingo. The El Embajador is chica friendly. When I last stayed there, a few years ago there were pros on the small side street in front of the hotel and there were pros on avenida sarasota, a few blocks from the el embajador. I haven't been on Ave. Sarasota at night in a while, so I don't know if the SWs are still there.
About three blocks from the El Embajador and Avenida Sarasota is Hotel BQ, a chica friendly hotel with a rooftop pool.
El Embajador is about three blocks from a major north-south street called Ave Jimenez Moya (most people call the avenue Avenida Churchill, which is its name north of Ave. 27 de Febrero). On Avenida Jimenez Moya near the Malecon SWs can be found, at night it would a 5 minute drive from the El Embajador.
If you don't mind being about a 15 minute drive (depending on traffic) from where the wedding party is staying, then the neighborhood called Gazcue has the most pay for play venues. Hotels in Gazcue start at around $40 per night, Hotel Jaguar, Hostal Riazor, Hotel Duque de Wellington, Hotel Mystik, Hotel Maison Gatreux, Hotel Venezia and others.
Hostal Riazor (it is a normal hotel) is a good spot for newbies, cost is about $58 per night, it has a 24 hour restaurant next door, it is located directly behind a large hotel and casino, Jaragua. From Riazor you can walk to various venues, Lapsus. 305, Satin Dolls, Sky High, Jaragua Casino, Melia Casino and Coppa Bar. Playboy Palace in zona colonial would be about a 15 block walk from the hotel riazor. On the malecon before zona colonial are the Baby Dolls and Foxys. Very late at night, pay for play action can be found at coppa and club 305 stays open late. I was told when I was at casa de modelos and the baby dolls that they are open 24/7.
Any questions ask away.

Any information on Hotels that have good chica activity inside and in the surronding area? Local friends from the wedding party recommend Jaguar. Any better?
Thanks again!

Gazcue demonstrates against prostitution.
The District Attorney for the National District said yesterday that the office would be taking action against prostitution in the Gazcue sector of the city where residents have been complaining of immoral activities.
Alejandro Moscoso Segarra told Diario Libre that although it was not possible to eliminate prostitution altogether, they would take action to reduce it, especially in response to complaints involving 20 hotels that are in fact brothels.
The Santo Domingo Hotel Association has also complained about this issue. Association president Roberto Henriquez said that they are being besieged by prostitution and that each night they have to turn away between five and eight clients in order to prevent this practice in their properties.
Gazcue residents protested at the District Attorney's office, after a similar event held outside the National District City Hall, where they presented another series of problems that affect the community. Their concerns included dark streets, sidewalks full of garbage, the presence of brothels, public offices and rowdy corner markets that degrade the neighborhood.
The protest was led by Huberto Henriquez and supported by city council members from the PRD, represented by Cesar Cabrera, Waldy Taveras and Consuelo Despradel. The residents of Gazcue accused the city government of not complying with the laws. The group traveled in a bus called "Tours de Protesta de la Comunidad de Gazcue".
Thanks for the information Flaco Loco.
Anyone have a clue what this portion of the news release means?

The current president of the Dom Rep is Leonel Fernandez and he is a member of the PLD political party.
Seems the Gazcue "protests" are being organized by members of the opposing political party the PRD. Hipolito Mejia is a member of the PRD. Hipolito Mejia is an ex-president of the DR. Hipolito Mejia is a light skin Dominican, who wants to be president again. Hipolito Mejia is known to be vulgar, sexist and released, pardoned criminals from Dominican jails, probably in exchange for cash payments.
I would not put much significance into the article you quoted.
I really doubt any small hotels in Gazcue want to loose the Monger business. If Gazcue chases away mongers, the people in Gazcue will suffer. Less jobs for hotel workers, less people walking around the streets at night (which will make the neighborhood less safe) , less tax revenues to pay for infrastructure repairs (roads, sidewalks, street lighting).
From what I understand there are no social service programs in DR, like welfare or food stamps. If a chica can't get a normal low paying job to help support her family and if she can't earn some money as a pro, then money to buy food will have to come from somewhere, possibly their Dominican chulo boyfriends will begin to rob and steal more.
Santo Domingo can be a fun place, but it is not the top tourist destination in the world. Some people in Gazcue may be believe they are living on 5th Avenue and believe they are entitled to every modern luxury. Some people in Gazcue may be greedy and want higher prices for their homes, when they go to sell and believe getting rid of certain elements will increase their home's value.
There are many monger destinations in the world. If some people in the DR want to make it ever more uncomfortable for mongers, then mongers will take their money to other countries.
Why stop at closing at the casas, close the cabanas, stop selling alcohol, shut down the Brugal and Presidente Cerveza factories, make the DR like a Taliban country, make adultery a capital crime, make divorce illegal, cover the women in burkas or have them completely covered like in Saudi Arabia.

Sousa shut down SD being quelched why? 3 weeks I will be in SD. Meeting my PC chica there. Bought a couple of toys for the trip. Who says you can teach an old kool a new trick. Mongering is not easy.

Mongering is not easy.[/QUOTE]One thing you may want to try at the Jaragua Hotel and Casino, when you check in, give the name of your Punta Cana chica and give the names of two other chicas, choose any female Spanish sounding names (if during your stay, you find another chica for a trio, tell her to say her name is one of the names you gave at check in, if they ask for her cedula, it got stolen). When I stayed at the Jaragua years ago, I gave the names of three chicas, who I knew would be visiting me. One chica visited me in the afternoon with her sister and we went directly to the pool. After the pool, the chica and her sister took the elevator in the tower section, to the floor where my room was located, security never stopped them.
On a different night at the Jaragua, I entered with a chica and I had to stop at the front desk and she had to show her cedula (identification) and the worker checked her name with the names I had given at check in and she was allowed to enter.
When I stayed in the garden section, I tried to enter with three different chicas on different days and the security guy stationed at the entrance to the garden section had a printout with the names of the guests staying there, I had not given any chicas names at check in for that trip and none of the chicas were able to enter.
Some hotels have cameras and some security guys are afraid that they are being watched and sometimes reluctant to break the rules for fear of losing their jobs.
There will always be pros in Santo Domingo. The casas and the chica friendly hotels in gazcue are not a nuisance, some people complaining in Gazcue are just trying to score political points, nothing more. Some Dominicans prefer Hipolito Mejia solely based on the color of his skin, he is light skin, whereas Leonel is moreno. Mejia was probably one of the most corrupt and incompetent presidents of the DR. In Gazcue, being an old neighborhood, probably has some old timers who probably long for the days of the dictator Trujillo and probably can't accept having a president who is moreno and will ***** and moan, just to make Leonel look bad (very similar to the US, where some white folks can't accept having a 1/2 African American as president)
If you can't get into the Jaragua with the second chica, you can walk 4 blocks to the hotel navarro and rent a room there for a few hours for around 800 pesos. Cabanas are not really close to the Jaragua, you would have to pay for a taxi round-trip and lose time getting there. If your punta cana chica has an open mind, visit some casas with her. I have seen women visiting club 305. If your chica wants to do a trio with another chica, you can suggest that she pick out the other chica. Girls House on Ave. Pasteur is not recommended. I know the owner of Club 305 and Satin Dolls, both of whom are nice people, who speak English. Lapsus would be the closest place to the Jaragua, make a left after exiting the rear gate of the Jaragua and Lapsus will be on your right within a block or two on Avenue Independencia. I have not been in Lapsus in over 7 years. Foxys on the Malecon may have some fine chicas and some of the chicas do a strip show there. I have been told Foxys' prices are 6 to 8 thousand pesos.
i agree the vice in gazcue is not probably a nuisance to you. but that is because you don't live there. you don't have to deal with finding used condoms in your building parking areas, explaining to your children what the pot bellied gringo with his pants around his ankles was doing with the overdressed woman in the bushes below their window, replacing the fog lights a panhandler stole off your car, or cleaning the smell of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord109][CodeWord109][/url] and beer off your sidewalks. it gets old really quickly when it's not a once in a while vacation blowout.
by the way, one of the hotels described as a brothel in the diario libre piece is the jaguar, the mystik is another.
the hipolito vs. leonel situation is really not as complicated as it may seem. influence peddling and payoffs rule dominican politics. the military controls organized sex work. as in the past, the legitimate complaints of community activists will result in a compromise. you will see limited operating hours, noise restrictions, and the elimination of neon and arm waving touts. at least for a while. the pasteur strip is not likely to go away because there are no more than two or three residential properties left on it and very few are left near it.

I said it in the Sosua thread when the December 3 crackdown went into effect and I will say it here. Santo Domingo will NOT miss the monger's dollar if every single monger packed up and left. I have seen a greater increase in "normal" tourists in SD over the past six months or so. A busload of regular tourist will more than compensate for the few pesos mongers spend.
thanks mr. knowledge. good to read the feelings from a resident. some mongers seem to think their few pesos spent should dictate what residents have to deal with. sure i have mentioned i miss the cleanup of the sw but i know for a fact if i lived in gascue i wouldn't want them on the streets either.
i definetly thought mystik would be one of the hotels mentioned and i guess with the increase of mongers staying at jaguar that would also be one. do you have the complete list of hotels mentioned? was riazor also one of them? do you expect any of the hotels mentioned to change their chica policy?

I just made a 36 hour stop in SD. I wanted to thank my friend here for helping me find a great driver. I had 3 chicas, all of whom were GFE. I left the country with tears in my eyes.
