Santo Domingo

Uber was Not available at Air Port or zona colona. They d fill the van but my wait was less then 5 min. Last Stop is 5 min Form zona colona. Cabs are waiting to take you final leg. I was quoted 40 us by Taxi guy. Van was decent and there few stops.

[QUOTE=MrGogo;2209132]I've caught that van once by mistake and would not recommend it. They wait till the van is full which took about 30 minutes and it wasn't air conditioned. It's mainly for airport employees and I have never seen a Dominican arriving with luggage use it. It's on the top level in the corner at the top of the ramp. I repeat, its not for us. Old kool has no problem pushing the edges to save 100 pesos (which works out great for him), but I'm not sitting around waiting in the heat with luggage on arrival to save a few pesos. Just pay uber the 500 pesos and start your trip with a comfortable ride. Plus I'm not sure how the driver would feel if some rich gringo sat in the van with luggage taking an extra seat that could be occupied by some hard working Dominican. Even when I catch the bus from Juan dolio to SD I tip 100 pesos to the guy collecting money who stores my luggage in the back to preserve the seating on the bus. Those busses run every five minutes so they would be more appreciative of a tipping gringo with luggage.[/QUOTE]

When I arrived back in March I was waiting on an Uber on the top level but the time of arrival kept going from 1 minute to 6 minutes and back and forth. A taxi driver kept trying to tell me something but I waved him away thinking he was going to give me a tongue lashing about not catching a taxi. Then I started getting text messages from an Uber guy asking where I was. Then the taxi guy came over again and said Uber was having reception problems at the airport but I just waved him away again. Finally the Uber arrived and said it is a problem picking people up at the airport because of reception issues (well how did he eventually find me? He said I could cancel the Uber and he would charge me the same rate as Uber. I said there is a 70 pesos fee for canceling. I said I already paid and he shrugged his shoulders and took me to my destination. Maybe its a Dominican hustle they are running or maybe Uber is having app problems at the airport.

Now Zona Colonial has never been a problem for me as I have used it probably about 30 times since March. I even saw a portable Uber booth down by Segazona (Zona Colonial) where the employees wore Uber shirts and had note pads taking orders on a walk up basis. After 9 pm when going from El Conde to Boca Chica the Uber fare goes up to 800 pesos from 550 pesos earlier in the day, so the later it gets the more they charge.

Here is the fucked up part: When going from Boca Chica to Sd after 11 pm, there are no Ubers and it will show a Uber coming but they never arrive. I was able to get a taxi for 1200 pesos when all the other taxis were asking 1500 pesos and up. I'm thinking those Uber drivers log in but maybe log out to give airport passengers preference or they just don't want to come to Boca Chica late at night.

Now check this. A taxi from Boca Chica to SD costs about 1500 pesos late night but a taxi from Boca Chica to juan Dolio late night costs 2000 pesos and Juan Dolio is only 15 minutes from Bc whereas SD is about 40 minutes.

The vans are airconditoned and about 6 years old. The guys who drive are happy to accept everyones money. Airport employess and smart people use it. I have ridden 7 or 8 times with consistent good results. The Van has a final drop off near China town in SD. There are about or four stop during the ride to SD with riders stepping of. While if you have no spanish this could be an issue. However I have never had any problems using the vans, On my last trip I met a Venizulan new arrival fresh in the country. I gave her 20 US and wished her well. She was on her way to Bavaro looking for work at a resort.

Where is the famous van located. ?

Same thing happened to me in Gascue Ordered the Uber for my girl. It was like 4 minutes. Showed him the next street over and it was 1 minute. Then he passed the street and it showed 6 minutes. Finally I canceled it and ordered another one. I put in for a refund for the 70 pesos it charged and they gave me a credit and used it for the next driver.

Drivers are low key and quiet. They serve mostly the locals. The porters are looking to help people with luggage coming to the airport.

Checked out flash dancers on the John F Kennedy on Sunday, what a disappointment. The girls were 3-6's, they just run down, maybe it was just a weak Sunday crowd but I was expecting much better.

Went with 2 buddys of mine and we were drinking but nothing crazy after getting a couple rounds of drinks amd even some for one of the girls we decided that 3,000 pesos was too steep for these girls. As we go to leave I was hit with the old Tijuana bar trick. 2 girls blocked the exit and said that we didn't pay for a round of drinks, I was mad as hell. Lucky for us I pay for each round as soon as I get them and remembered exactly what bills and change I was given back. After I asked for the owner, a busty little lady, they promptly decided their hustle wasmt going to work and let us go. Never going back there again.

The manager at GBP hit me up tonight and told me that they are running a special. 2 chicks for 1 hour 1500 pesos. Threw me off at first because she said "dos camisa". I thought they were selling shirts so I asked huh? Then she said 2 chicas. With the USD exchange rate at 50.13 right now, that is the low low price of $29.92! Maybe you can beat it in the back of a barrio somewhere, but I don't know anywhere else in DR that you will get a better deal. You don't need to bait them in, or bring them any gifts, or none of that kind of shit.

What's the best way to set up the girls in advance? Are you on a dating website?

[QUOTE=OldKool;2207994]I spent 4 days in Santo Domingo in a hotel on El Conde, I imported 2 chicas who screewed my brains out. They provided sex on demand. While I enjoy sport fucking this was on a nicer level. The sex was relaxed and more fullfilling. I took the ladies to the malls, casino and movies. I paid them 100 bucks a day and had no complaints, I got more nuts then planters. I was surprised by the girls initiating late night sex. El Conde has full time pros and girls who will take a shot if approached at the right time. All the massage girls will go back to your hotel and screw you or on site. Many of them are young and very attractive. There is a new bar a block down from Pacos called Duos. The place has drinks at night with nice music and a decent breakfast for 250 pesos. I set there today and watched El Cnde open up. The site of a couple 100 Domnican women is a great way to start your mornig. Some people think that El Conde is a tourist trap and it can be. My approach is be who you are. Being a tourist is nothing to be a shamed of. It can be a positive for you. There are women who are curious about foreign men and are very approachable..[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=DCups;2212851]Come on man. Read the forum. Dominican cupid.[/QUOTE]I've been using Badoo recently to prep for an upcoming trip and tons of hot girls responding. It's kinda overwhelming.

Just arrived and my big plans to plan ahead for my DR trip got swallowed up in the busyness of real-life. I did entertain myself by reading the forum going back many pages. Appreciate all of the input and sharing of information. I have hobbied in Russia, China, Japan, Singapore and various places in Europe (and the obligatory trip to the Hong Kong in Tijuana). My business will keep me busy but I'll report if I have anything to report. But just wanted to say "thanks".

So I wanted to spend the time to share my report with the board. I will say first off that my Spanish is lousy, and the amount of "play" time that I have, given my business obligations, has been relatively short. I am also uncomfortable using taxis or Uber and so I end up doing a lot of walking. Given all that background, and with my research on the board, It seemed that GBP might be a good solution for everything concerned. One thing that I will say is that finding street addresses for some of these establishments in Santo Domingo is relatively challenging. Nonetheless, using the information gleaned from the board, I was able to find the general location of the GBP. When I got to what I thought was the proper intersection, I was not able to find anything that look like the facility in question. So I wandered up and down the street to see if I could find anything in the area. Still no luck. However on my return back to the corner I noticed the GBP light on the second floor. This of course was in the exact building that other people had mentioned.

I climbed up the stairs to the lounge (It was very hot and the inside lounge was great with the AC). My eyes took a little time to get adjusted but once they did I found a small sitting room and about five or six different ladies sitting in chairs. I made my way into the waiting area and was approached by the bartender about what I wanted to drink. I ended up ordering a corona for 200 pesos, paid with a 500 peso bill, and ended up giving her a 100 peso tip. As I was sipping my cold beer and trying to cool off from Outdoors, the girls were all looking at me. Finally the one girl that I actually thought was quite attractive came over and mentioned to me that she wanted me to open my legs so she could grind on me. Her name was "Lady", appeared to be in her mid-20's, slender but with nice be to see cups, and mid back length bleached blonde streaked hair. She was also quite cute, I probably would've given her face an "8". While I was sipping my beer and she was grinding on me, several of the other girls came up to sit by us. Since she was the one girl I would've picked out if the line-up anyway, I told her that I would be happy to go into the back with her. She then shooed all the other girls away. When I asked, "how much", she answered me in Spanish and I wasn't sure what she said so I got out my phone and typed in "1500? She took my phone from me and corrected it to "1200". I have to admit, it has never before, in this hobby, happened to me that a provider would actually state a lower price than I was willing to pay. I really like the DR!

So we went back. As others have said the facilities leave quite a bit to be desired, but as it turned out, I was the only punter in the back rooms. As a result we got the largest one and made good use of it. For those interested, all of the various positions and play acronyms were achieved (all covered) and a very GFE session was had with apparent mutual enjoyment. She was a real sweetheart and I had a great time. No rush and considerably sensual session was had. I bought her a drink and tipped her another 200 pesos. Total damage 2,000 pesos for a memorable afternoon delight! Thanks again for all of your help.

What does GBP stand for and do you have phone number address?

Thanks.
