[QUOTE=Andy1974]Hi,

I have been looking at flights to Puerto Plata from Europe and they are very expensive, its nearly 700 dollars cheaper to fly to Santo Domingo. Can anyone advise a few methods of transport from SD to PP and associated costs please?

Would you recommend I stay in SD for a few days as well?

Many thanks in advance,

Andy,

The cheapest way I would suggest, although I have never done it, is to take a taxi to the bus station and take Caribe Tours bus to PP. You can then catch a taxi to wherever you are going from there. Their website is [url]http://www.caribetours.com.do[/url] and you can use babelfish to translate. I understand their busses are nice and they run on schedule.

You can also check out this site, [url]http://www.takeoffweb.com[/url]. I did not see a direct flight from SDQ to POP, but you may be able to contact them and see what can be done.

If you have never driven before in the DR, I would not suggest it. The first time down will give you a lay of the land on how they drive (like idiots) and an introduction to "motoconcho's" (even bigger idiots).

I know I have seen some shuttle type services available, and if anyone knows more about this or clarify/correct what I have written, please jump in.

Andy,
I second Ponderosa.
The Caribe Bus is the best way.
Depending on the hour you arrive, take a cab and ask for Caribe Bus.
From SD to PP is about 3-4 hours, but only a few dollars.

Good luck, - if you have further questions, feel free to ask.

My second trip to Sosua and not off to a good start!

Landed at PUJ on the 6th Feb. spent first night in wooded shack on the beach.
Fantastic location but quality was a bit questionable.(See Photo) Well it is only one night and I am not over fussy if I am traveling on my own! I could access shack from beach so I thought no question about being GF. First mistake! Landlady sees me take girl back and said this is a family hotel and would not allow girl in room. Had to tell girl to disappear, so she was not happy!

In morning I got a moto to Bavaro bus station, where I got the Bavaro Express bus to SD at 10am.

BTW buses leave at 7am 10am 2pm and I think 4pm

(Just a note for anyone else is doing this trip. On my second time I did this route (Long story) I wanted to leave at 11:30am from Bavaro, but next bus was at 2pm. So I got local bus to Higuey (90 Peso and about 1 hour). I did not know what stop to get off at in Higuey, but at one stop I saw a bus with SD on the front. So I got off crossed the road and got on it. 15 mins and 180 peso later and I was on my way to SD. I arrived about 2.5 hours later).

Anyway back to my original trip, and as it has been stated on this forum before “it is fucking cold on this bus.” It takes about 4.5 hours to SD, where I got taxi to Carribe Tours (120Peso) and get the next bus to Sosua, where I arrived early evening. Last stop is in Charimingo, So you have to get a 200 Pesos taxi into Sosua. Bus takes about 4 hours 280 Pesos!

There is also another service to SD from Metro bus. These are brand new Volvo buses, very high standard and they leave and drop off from the centre of Sosua. End of Dr Rosen outside the Pharmacia next to the petrol station. This is by far the best service, in terms of quality and comfort, and as they drop you off in centre there is not need to get taxi! Metro bus 300 pesos to SD! again about 4 hours. (see photo)

I booked flight to PC because no flights to POP were available. I thought it would be good to travel by bus and see the country! I enjoyed the trip, but to be fair, it was not worth the loss of two nights in Sosua. I would not do it again!

Hi, is there a bus that goes from punta cana to sdq?

If YES, how much does it cost?

And do you have an idea of how many hours?

Now that being said i have used [url]www.takeoffweb.com[/url] to fly, but is there another airline i can fly on also. Or is this the only local airline?

I see you answered part of my question. So thanks for that. And i see you got the moto to a place called bavaro.How long, and how much was that from the puj airport. I know in the end i will say f-it and just fly direct to sdq, but because it only cost me under 100 rt to fly to dr, i am trying to see does it make sense to pay regular prices and get there faster, or spend less and it take forever.

From PUJ airport I got a taxi to Bavaro area where my hotel was. The first time it cost $30. The second time i did it after missing my flight back home, I went to a driver and said "I will give you $20 to take me to Bavaro" he agreed.

Moto to bus station was 50 Peso. bus time to SD is about 4-5 hours, road is not good. cost is 300 peso!

Take off air is quicker, depending if you can catch the one flight a day!

Well it was only one flight to pop!

Hi,

I have done a few searches and browsed about 10 pages but could not get all the answers. Here is what I understand, please correct me if wrong:

Taxi from Santiago airport to Sosua (say Hotel Europa): $60 (9:30pm at night); does anyone know any cheaper taxi drivers (how much? )

Taxi from Santiago airport to Sosua metro/caribe bus terminal: RD500 bus from Santiago to Sosua: RD100-150

Motobike from Sosua caribe bus stop to Sosua hotels: RD50 (? )

Motobike from Sosua hotels to Casino late at night (at 2am): RD50?

Motobike from Sosua hotels to airport: RD200?

I know the following depends on quality, etc, etc but as an approx:

LT with chica: RD1500? (incl o'night)

ST with chica: RD1000?

A[/QUOTE]Andy,

i don't know from which country you want to fly into the DR at POP airport.....but last year I bought a SINGLE ticket with JETAIRFLY FROM BELGIUM FOR ABOUT 300 euros.

[url]http://www.jetairfly.com/[/url]

There site is in 5 (! ) languages. Dutch, French, German, English and Spanish. Mostly they fly from BRUSSELS International airport (Zaventem) wich was always for me easier and faster to get to then Schiphol in the Netherlands (I am Dutch). The pain in the ass with Jetairfly is that you can only take 20 kilos in your suitcase. And you can't cancel or change anything UNLESS you PAY money! The planes it selves are good and reliable but pretty basic. So if you are OVER 1. 80 meter or are used to much luxuries you will NOT get lucky LOL.

You can always take a BUS from POP to SD.....it's usualy NOT more then 10 euros for a single trip....4-6 hours depending on the traffic and wheater conditions. Take good care of the receipt the busdriver gives you for your luggage.....!! Also a good thing to keep in mind is to travel low profile and watch your back as in DR bus terminals usualy a lot of pick pockets walk about lurking on "fresh"stupid gringos to prey on;-)

AFAIK this is pretty cheap....just keep in mind if you are flying from Europe the prices always will be more as for our American fellow mongers...as they are way closer to the action then we are;-) I heard of some US buddy he paid 500 USD (!!) for as ROUND trip to SD last year from NY with AA..!!!
Besides from NY they only spend about 2.5 hours in the plane.....

All in all IMHO the women look better and hotter in SD area....but prices are way more then up north at the POP coastal region;-)

suerte

Johan

Any idea how much it will cost from Sosua Central to Puerto Plata airport by taxi?

By moto?

Thanks

A taxi from Sosua center to the airport is $20 US, pretty much a fixed price. Bt motoconcho I was charged 300 pesos for round trip but not sure if that's a fair price or not. If you don't have more than 1 piece of luggage motoconcho works. Hope this helps.

Here is a story for you guys that plan on getting a " Novia" here and send her monthly money, take her out of the casa or bar, come several times a year to see her, ect.

Last night I went out with a chica, haven't seen her in a while and we went out, she called me, picked me up in her car, paid for dinner and the cabana (Motel yes we had sex), ect. I'm not a Casanova or anything thing like that but she thinks I'm kool and she wanted to hookup for a minute.

Now here is the skinny, all of this was paid for with the money she gets from her Gringo Sugar Daddy, he sends her US$2, 000 a month *What*.

He sent her money to buy a car, ect. They met in a casa and now she does not work there no more (who would).

Does she love him, no, all night she went on and on, how he sends her what she needs and she only sees him maybe 3 times a year. Her words, " that old man is a trip, has me in english clase and all so we can speak better on the phone. He bought me a pc, and I got internet, but I told him the pc web cam don't work, so I don't even have to do web sex with him, jajajaja"

She has a dominican boyfriend that she now takes care of, thank you gringo, and goes out as she pleases.

Guys don't do that, you will become a joke if you do.

If you meet a regular Dominican women, and like her, and want to do that, maybe that is ok, she is not a ***** and maybe she realy likes you and all. But a casa chica, man o man don't do it.

The law of compensation will take care of that. Maybe the gringo is paying for something he did wrong in the past, and she will pay for taking advantage of him. About the Dominican boyfriend, he seems like a "great catch", a "mantenido". By the way, sooner or later the gringo will wake up and the money will stop, then what she will do? What about him?
As for you, wouldn't it be better to stay away from those kind of people? (With this I assume that you are not like her).

But one thing is for certain, what I post is to make you laugh, inform your ass keep it real.

I have many "Chica Friends" and being a local gives me an upper hand and I see how stuff is really done. But I post it, cause it make me feel like I am giving back when I keep it real and show you guys what your FANTASY VACATION really is.

Inside she is really a sweet girl, but she plays by the rules of the game, her dominican novio, don't know the dude, but he probable just follow the rules of the game. Now as for the Gringo sending money, he is not playing by the rules that is why he will get burnt.
