[QUOTE=Lopkx;1193786]I contacted that Naco place and they also are trying to get me into Lincoln Suites. What's up with that, do they all work for the same company?[/QUOTE]You could try this site, they have several apartments (one seems to be a nice studio on the malecon with a view of the Sea and other apartments somewhat close to Gazcue) : [url]http://santodomingo-apartments.com/gallery.html[/url]
Narai Building in zona colonial, was nice, with a roof top pool.
Lincoln Suites do not offer internet service in the apartments though there is an area off to the side of the lobby with chairs and wifi available. There is also wifi available on the roof where there is a pool a lounge area and gym.
The only issue I had at Lincoln Suites was the security deposit. It was quite high. If I remember correctly they wanted $600 or $700 for a 10 day stay. I said to the manager that I thought they'd have problems attracting more visitors with such a hefty deposit. They did return it in dollars after my checkout.
Safe parking. Nice, clean, quiet room. Helpful staff. I had no problems at all there. I would definitely stay there again if my other preferred locations are not available.
Jaosousa, I read where you stayed in Hostal Marina Real once before. Can you lend some more information? I'm looking to stay a few nights there later this month and am investigating now. When I look for apartments in the capital other than safety of course I look for secured parking, internet service in the rooms and a kitchen with all the amenities. Can you provide anything more than what's provided on their website? [url]http://hostalmarinareal.com/links.htm[/url]

Narai Building in zona colonial, was nice, with a roof top pool.[/QUOTE]I've stayed in their apartments on many occasions. The apartment on the Malecon is located on Malecon and alma mata. The entrance is next to the lavendaria in the strip mall next to the doll house. The front of the building sits on the Malecon and the rear is on Independencia. It is directly across the street from the Platinum club on Independencia. Decent apartment with secured parking and kitchen. It's located on the 4th floor of an 8 story building. Location is good and safe. Best thing about it is all the college girls traveling to and from school and hanging in the eateries directly behind the building on Independencia. The apartment faces the Malecon and the ocean but you come out the front door of the apartment and directly across from that door are windows to the back of the building. Looking through you can see Independencia, the Platinum club and all those stores. Plus there is a bus stop there where all those college chicas are waiting. Maxima Gomex is two blocks east. If you can speak spanish and am interested in young fine chicas in the 20. 30 year old range you could have a ball in Platinum. Only p4p chicas there though will come in with gringos.
They have two other apartments in Gazque that I've also frequented. Both are in the same building with one being on the third floor and the other directly above on the 4th. The building is one block north of Independencia and two blocks east of Maxima Gomez. Great location as during the day you can walk to Pasteur. Probably a 5 or 6 block walk. The apartments are nice have king sized beds and secure parking. These are my first choice when staying in the capital. Also there is a supermarket in the neighborhood down by Pasteur.
Oh by the way, all of their apartments have wifi.
It seems the capital has been quite busy during August as everything was full and I'm finding the same holds true for September. Currently trying to find alternative lodging for my next trip which I hope will be in a couple of weeks now that plane tickets have come back to reasonable rates.

Thank you[/QUOTE]Really it depends on where you want to be. The apartments in Gazque are a few blocks away from the casa's and large hotels on independencia & Malecon. I would probably say for most people these would be the best locations. The location of the apartment on the malecon is not bad. If you have a car then it's really no difference between any of the locations. Lincoln suites is on abrahim lincoln and is further away from the areas mentioned but again it may be a better location depending on where you want to go and be.
I would say lincoln suites is less descreet than the other two apartments only because the security guard has to let you in at night and if you're not driving you would need to walk through the front door lobby and past reception. The other two apartments provide you with a key so you would only need to pass the security guards but they don't bother or ask questions. The link to their website was posted by Jaosousa already. Just look down a bit.
I stayed at hotel marina a couple of weeks a ago. Real nice hotel with modern features. The only issue no wifi in the rooms. You can use wifi in lounge, but sometimes someone will take it so you are sol. Staff is real cool and chica friendly will not ask your girl for I'd.

Just to be sure, coming from the colonial zone I take George Washington east and when I get to the first bride I make the right. Then another right on the other side of the bridge and the hotel will be down on the left correct? Also I see the rooms have kitchens. Are they fully equipped (pots and pans, etc.)?
[QUOTE=Mfins; 1192133]Hahahah, I knew someone was going to think that when I asked the question, and no I can't say "real dumb" oh wait I just did.
Anyway- I think its a valid question. I do not like real dark skinned latins or black latins. I am more into the lighter skin Latins.
So instead of saying my comment is dumb you could help me out an answer the question. (if you know)
Would be like someone coming to the USA to monger and saying, what percentage of the population is white, compared to black, asian, hispanic et. Nothing wrong with the question because someone who doesn't know about the USA would assume most if not all people are white. As is the case if I asked about Haiti. Yes I assume most people are black but I guarantee
There is a significant white, and latino population. In anycase I assume you get my point and if someone knows please feel free to answer. Thanks[/QUOTE]The majority of Dominicans and a large majority of poorer Dominicans are darker skinned. The proportion of dark skinned people is higher than for most other Latin countries. There are also a lot of Haitians who are darker still on average.
As I much prefer chicas with African hertitage this is a selling point to me but if you like light skinned Latin chicas go to Columbia or even Cuba as they are a larger proportion of the population.
Haiti by the way other than NGO employees has only very small white population mostly middle eastern. It's basically a west African country ethnically that's in the carribbean.
[QUOTE=Marc Anthony;1194219]if you like light skinned Latin chicas go to Columbia or even Cuba as they are a larger proportion of the population.[/QUOTE]If you're talking about the country Colombia, there are a lot of darker skinned Colombians in places like Cali. For lighter skinned Dominicans, I would focus in on Santiago. For those that like dark skin Dominicans with indian features and not so much of an African look like the Haitians have, there are all over the island.
Since I am flying into SDQ and I will arrive there at 4 am in a couple of days: Is there still a place open where I could hang out until I take a cab to the Caribe Tour bus station for the 6 am bus?
Jaosousa, your help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Jaosousa, your help is much appreciated. Thanks.[/QUOTE]I have done the Jetblue flight that leaves New York around midnight and arrives around 4am. A wingman loves that flight. Temperature is not so hot at 4am in santo domingo, the airport is quiet at that hour.
If you have checked luggage, you will have to wait at the baggage carousel, usually at least 30 minutes. From when the plane lands in santo domingo, until you exit the airport could be 45 minutes.
I usually rent a car, alamo is open 24/7 at the Santo Domingo airport, at 4am you do the paperwork for the car rental, in the building outside the main airport building near the parking lot for the rental cars.
If you exit the airport at 4am, with no rental car and you want to hang out somewhere until 6am (for caribe tours) , depends whether you want to fuck somewhere for an hour or two, or whether you just want to wait someplace until you can could catch the bus.
More people will be out late on the weekends, but you will have your luggage, so it is not like you can walk into some disco at 4am with luggage. If you just want to hang out for a bit, you could go to manolos restaurant and order food, coffee, etc, for an hour or so, with your luggage with you at the table. If you want to fuck, you could go to baby dolls or casa de modelos, choose a chica, pay around 3500 pesos, probably fuck on site or take the chica off site. If you want to fuck off site, Hotel Navarro may have rooms for around 800 pesos for a few hours. Hotel Navarro is close to the venues. The cabanas are further away from the venues.
Looking for temporary housing, up 18 months or so, while I look for a permanent place. Doesn't have to be close to the clubs, but would like an ocean view, and though I'd like cheap, I'd prefer reasonably inexpensive, and safe. I also like some recommendations on good areas close to the beach, to look for both.
Thanks for the info. Narai is a newly remodeled zona colonial building with secure underground parking. A British woman rents / rented one apartment there. There are about 20 apartments in the building. Rooftop pool. Building is on a nice street in zona colonial, I believe the address is Calle 19 de Marzo, #105; [url]http://narairesidence.com[/url]
I stopped inside the place one afternoon unannounced and I was shown one apartment, that I was told I could rent for $100US per night, with a two night minimum. New kitchens, bathrooms with marble, it is a well done remodel of an old colonial building.
I sometimes stay at an apartment owned by a friend of friend, located near the V Centanario hotel. Nice new building, two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. Send me a PM and I could get you the contact info for that apartment, if you wanted to rent it.
I have had good sexual experiences in Santo Domingo, when I stayed at that apartment.

Yes, the rooms have a stove and you can cook in the room. They have pots, pans and dishes and silverware. So, yes you can cook a full meal and have all the utensils that go with doing it.
