[QUOTE=OldKool;1450862]Hotwires best deal are the ones that do no name the Hotel. I sent the url which showed 3 half star hotel $59 with tax it is like 75 or 80 bucks.[/QUOTE]Ok, bear with me pleeeeze, I'm trying to understand how to do this. I never used hotwire and generally don't book hotels online.

How do you know it's Hotel Palacio? There are a number of other 3. 5 star hotels listed. [I'm using the star rating as per hotwire which I think simply uses tripadvisor's ratings. ] Even the Juaragua is 3. 5. Again, I am asking for educational purposes, hope you don't mind.

I have booked it several times in the past. I know the site details of Palacio. It is the only special deal with 3 and a half. If it is not you still have a good deal on a quality Hotel. I am 95% sure it is the Palacio.

[quote=savepros321;1450930]why is this interesting? no one here is discussing traveling abroad to bang **** girls here at isg. wrong website brother![/quote]a polite reminder not to perform this type of behavior.

[quote=savepros321;1450930]why is this interesting? no one here is discussing traveling abroad to bang **** girls here at isg. wrong website brother![/quote]actually this fuller account of the story is quite interesting as a cautionary tale. he says he was originally involved with the aunt of the younger woman.

"mr. gallant had promised the girl a motor scooter, a camera and approximately $600 for her to take her mother to a doctor, but he failed to follow through on his promises. several days later, the girl took mr. gallant's debit card and took the $600. she later turned herself in to police on the advice of a family friend, ms. belf said. that's when she allegedly told authorities about her relationship with mr. gallant."

[QUOTE=Shamester;1450932]A polite reminder not to perform this type of behavior.[/QUOTE]Some on this board engage in this activity daily and are routinely deported without any fan fare. Just happens the local government decided to make an example of him.

The last account didn't mention the aunt nor that the girl turned herself in.

[quote=mr enternational;1450975]the last account didn't mention the aunt nor that the girl turned herself in.[/quote]if i remember correctly. the girl was caught by the police and while they were questioning her about stealing the guy's money, she decided to get the heat off herself and tell them she was **** and that the gringo was fucking her. the gringo was a much bigger fish to catch! on one hand they have a girl who stole 600 dollars on another hand they have a gringo who was fucking a minor! (not too hard to see which one would garner more press and maybe a promotion thru the ranks!)

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational;1450975]The last account didn't mention the aunt nor that the girl turned herself in.[/QUOTE]Extremely appreciative of these stories by the DR experts. Mongered in a fair amount of countries but can not recall this many chica rip-off stories.

Reinforces the board advice of remaining relatively sober when negotiating along with carefully analyzing character. All mongers get faked-out.

Every so often. (Cost of Doing Business LOL) Sometimes it is best just to pay a reasonable amount and move-on.

Gringos need to remove the "you are not going to get the best of me" ego and customer service refund mentality. Easier said than done. Although these numerous stories make it easier.

In our hobby we commit taboos for our culture. Having sex with young women is very close to having sex with girls. What truly is the difference between a 18 year old and a 17 year old? 5 to 10 years in prison LOL. In truth grown men have sex with girls as young as 14 in the DR. One of my female friends father was dating a 17 year old openly. As his daughter was 30 years my junior I felt very comfortable in his company.

The issue is following US laws in foreign countries.
