Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=El Greco; 1282831]The hotel you choose seems to be nice considering the garden we can see.

Can you please let us know the name and their rates?

Thanks and have fun.[/QUOTE]Barcelo Capella maybe?

[QUOTE=Enricos;1282794]I know you will enjoy the regular bars in La Romana with or with out Spanish. Where will you be staying? I've not looked the board in 2 months. Have a favorita I met at a wedding in Washington Hts. New York 3 weeks ago from La Romana. One hot chica had a great time with her, her friends, and her mother in NY and La Romana. Can't forget mama hey I'm a senior. Sadly back in Chicago now.[/QUOTE]I am staying at an all inclusive hotel in Bayahibe. Bayahibe is a small town about 15 minutes east of La Romana. Price is about $60US per person per night for two people in the room, includes all you can eat food and all you can drink beverages (presidente beer, wine from Spain, coffee, juice, soda etc). Mostly Europeans at this all inclusive hotel in Bayahibe. Bayahibe is about 90 minutes from the Santo Domingo airport.

The first day I stayed in Juan Dolio, Barcelo Cappella all inclusive hotel, rates starting at around $55US per person, two people in the room, all you can eat food and all you can drink beverages (alcohol and non-alcohol). The Santiago sisters with the big tits, I met at the bar near the pool. One of the half Colombian-Half Ecuadorian chicas from new york, I talked with while waiting at the front desk. Assortment of people at the barcelo cappella hotel in juan dolio, most people are friendly and enjoy chatting there. It is an OK all inclusive hotel, not a great all inclusive hotel. The all inclusive hotel in bayahibe is about the same price and is a much better hotel. There are p4p venues in juan dolio and usually freelancers. There are some very pretty, dark skin Dominican waitresses, some with sexy bodies, at the barcelo cappella hotel.

Dominican Republic is fun.

Any questions, ask away.

Ps; orbitz has various promo codes, that can save you some money on hotels.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa; 1264732]Nice report, thanks for posting.

Hilton has nice rooms.[/QUOTE]Yes they do but not sure why they are fully booked in July on their website. Is something big happening in SD in July?

I'm looking for a little vacation on the cheap. $60 a head is pretty good for all inclusive.

[QUOTE=Enricos;1283116]Thanks for your reply[/QUOTE]I drove into La Romana last night around midnight (from Bayahibe) , it was a ghost town. All the bars and pay for play venues were closed. Practically no one was outside, it was like a plague came through and wiped out 90% of the population. I have never seen a Dominican city so quiet on a Saturday night.

Dominican Presidential elections are today (every four years). Seems Bars and most businesses are closed the Saturday before and the Sunday of the elections (except for certain tourist places). It will be nice not to see billboards with "Llego Papa" or the ones for Danilo (Danilo should win in a landslide).

A casino with a disco was open here in Bayahibe last night (venues in certain tourist areas are probably exempt from having to close for the presidential elections). I was told everything will remain closed today (Sunday) in la romana and other cities in the DR for the elections.

Machina Bar in la romana I drove by last night, it was closed. Scores (klimax) p4p venue was closed last night. I saw one SW in Bayahibe last night, as I was driving to la romana.

For 3 nights, for two people, was a little under $60US per person per night, booked on Orbitz using promo code travel5 to save 5. Excellent beach. Excellent service. I drank lots of red wine (vino tinto when in the DR). In my room I had Australian red wine brought from the States (Lindeman's Bin Series).

There is a brick oven pizza restaurant that is open throughout the day and into the night (maybe closes around 2am) , they will make whatever kind of pizza you want (pepperoni, sausage, peppers, mushroom, eggplant, etc).

I hung out here with a Brazilian woman and her French Canadian husband. Also met yesterday a 25 year old, london, england woman, who teaches french and english in la romana and her sexy Dominicana friend who works in la romana.

This country definitely has some women with some fine asses.

Ps. For around $25 extra per night, there are honeymoon suites, rooms are nicer, I saw one on the second floor near the lobby, that had a large outdoor terrace and jacuzzi type bath, totally private.

And the new 4 lane highway, which will go through parts of la romana and pass near bayahibe, on its way to punta cana and bavaro is almost finished.

Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend the hilton in santo domingo for mongering purposes. ISG member Sabor had trouble entering the hilton one time with a woman. The mall next door to the hilton is kind of dead (I read the casino there closed). There really is not much within an easy walk of the hilton. Weekend rates are about $120, Monday to Thursday the rates are usually double that. The hilton pool was shallow the one time I used it and just about useless for swimming. Rooms are nice with a view of the sea.

El Embajador is a large hotel with an excellent pool and is chica friendly (not close to most venues). Barcelo Santo Domingo Hotel, club premium rooms oftentimes are around $120 per night (booking certain trips the rate can go as low as $79 per night). Lots of freebies if you book a club premium room at the Barcelo Santo Domingo (wine, beer, soda, food etc). Good pool, generally chica friendly.

Yeah it has never been very chica friendly, I used the parking lot before to bring chicas and also other methods but yeah you are right can be exhausting. Was trying to burn some hotel points for free stay. I guess I'll go back to Marriott.

If they break balls, you can easily drive to a cabana, not far from the hilton. If you check in with a chica, then there will be no problem, entering with that chica (entering with multiple different chicas, might be costly or a problem). Send ISG member Sabor a PM and he could give you more info about the problem he had at the hilton.

If I had Marriott or Hilton points, I would stay at those hotels.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa;1283703]And the new 4 lane highway, which will go through parts of la romana and pass near bayahibe, on its way to punta cana and bavaro is almost finished.[/QUOTE]Some photos I took yesterday, while I was driving from Bayahibe to Santo Domingo. It is about a two hour drive. When the new Coral Highway opens, travel time by car will be less than 2 hours. Parts of the movie "Apocalypse Now" (Martin Sheen, Francis Coppola etc) were filmed on the River Chavon in La Romana.

[QUOTE=Lopkx;1283295]Yes they do but not sure why they are fully booked in July on their website.

I have friends coming to Santo Domingo in July and they booked their rooms 3 days ago.

I threw a fit when I went in with about the fourth diferent one and ended up at the Barcelo the next day. Not chica friendly at all but very nice hotel.

I've been searching this resort over the last month and haven't seen it less than $113 per night and that is down from $150 two weeks ago. Last year I stayed here for a little over $50 a night. If you did book on Orbitz what promo code did you use? If not who did you book through and what was the promo code used if any?

Thanks!
