Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Doker44;1379871]The beauty is to each their own but man I don't understand the importance of the girls cooking. I know to many this is so important, I have seen guys kick great girls to the curb because they wouldn't cook or stopped wanting to cook. Just curious for those who find it important. Does it add a layer of GFE for you or is it a power / control deal. Don't care just curious.[/QUOTE]If your woman was cooking for you and then refused to do it any more, then clearly the relationship is on the rocks and she sees no future in it.

Kicking people seems a bit extreme.

A lot of babes I meet want to cook when they become cool with me or the people I'm partying with. I like having BBQs and stuff like that when I have a decent spot, and inviting chicas, mongers and sometimes even local folks that live in the DR over. This kind of stuff is not for everybody, as I know some guys are Rumbas to Rocky's mongers. Not about power or GFE. I eat out sometimes as well, but I like to change up.

I also like having a nice pool, but that's not important to other people. When I'm in the islands I like to swim, have pool parties and getting head in the pool. IMO, the pool in Sosua Suites was a joke and I wouldn't use it and didn't see anyone in it when I was there, except for the Dominican family that lives on the premises.

All in all, I don't think it is a bad place but just not for me. I'm not trying to get people to boycott Sosua Suites like Rick tries to do with places like Terra Linda, his competition. I was in a pinch so I thought I would give it a shot but never again.

I prefer spots that are off the beaten path and not discussed a lot on monger boards. Here is an example of a spot I hit for a nice pool party recently in Sosua. This is more alongs the lines of what I like versus a spot like Sosua Suites.

Who is trying to tear Rick down. I simply wrote about my experience at SS, others may like to know the good the bad and the ugly about SS before they try staying there.

On the positive I liked having the little apartment setting it's great for entertaining. On my August visit I met up with Cuba Dave and other mongers and they come over and hung out. I wifed up for a few days and my wing man wifed up as well and the place was great for entertaining and have guest over. As you said the TVs are tiny little box TV but I never watch TV anyway so that was no big deal. There's no central air only the air conditioning in the bedroom but again leaving the bedroom door open helped. The kitchens are a bit old, no microwave and only a few dishes but enough. It's close to the action and there is no I'd check (had one forget her I'd on this trip, so that came in handy) and there's free airport pick up and drop off.

I was pleased enough with the place in August that I booked all four of my return trips to SS, this one, my trip in April my trip in May and my trip in July. I also made it a point to book the nicest suit in the place the owner's suit. Twice before coming down on this trip I contacted Rick via email and asked if my reservation was all set. Twice I get return emails telling me my room is reserved for me. I get there and I'm told I can't have my room because someone else will be in it for the first two nights of my stay. Rick did offer to let me stay one night in Mary Rose and then another night at SS and then I could have the room I requested. I didn't like the ideal of having to change rooms so much so I declined staying the first night at Mary Rose. The room I was given in SS was A3 It is LOUD on that side of the building and I mean LOUD every night until 3:am when the bars close. There is also a dog (a big dog) tied up in the back that barks its ass off all night long. Not to mention the bathroom door does not close in the suite. Mongers may want to know about these things before they decide to stay at SS.

Hot water is a luxury (yes I know you have to flip the switch 15 minutes before you want to take a shower) but even with flipping the switch the hot water heater is only 6 gallons. You are lucky if you get 2 or 3 minutes of hot water and many mornings I didn't even get that. This was also a problem when I stayed there in August no hot water. Mongers may want to know that hot water is a luxury if you are going to stay at SS.

You pay upfront for your entire stay at Rocky's so I paid Rick for my stay, to his credit he said he was not going to charge me the higher owners suit fee since I wouldn't be able to stay in it the first two nights (I didn't get to stay in it at all). After the money crosses the table and I pay is when I am told that the hot water heater is only 6 gallons and that I would only have about 5 minutes of hot water (was more like 2 or 3 minutes if any at all) that's also when I am told about the dog being tied up in the back barking all night long. This rubbed me the wrong way, I don't know if Rick realizes how this looks but it has the taste of some cheap used car sales men telling you about all the defects in the car after you have signed the contract and paid the money.

On the day I was supposed to switch I went to Rocky's looking for Rick and he is nowhere to be found. When I ask the restaurant employees they know nothing about it. I know enough Spanish to get into the pants of a P4P chica but that is about it and the employees there know even less English than I know Spanish, so if Rick s not around communication is difficult. Mongers may want to know that Rick is about the only one at the Rocky's establishment that knows English the rest don't.

I ask the employees there to call Rick and they appear to be on the phone calling him. The only thing they tell me after they hang up is Rick is at Mary Rose. Despite what Rick claims about being easy to get ahold of he isn't, mongers may want to know that Rick is not as easy to get ahold of as he claims.

I finally run into Rick around 9 or 10 that night he tells me he tried looking for me and couldn't find me so he moved someone else into my room, we set a definite time to meet the next day so I can switch to my room. Maybe we missed each other, maybe he made a feeble attempt to find me but I spent a good part of the afternoon that day going back and forth to Rocky's looking for him and supposedly the restaurant staff tried calling him for me. This again rubbed me the wrong way, if you have a guest who has a specific room reserved and you have already screwed him out of his room for the first two nights you don't give his room to someone else on the third night unless you simply don't want his business anymore.

The next day is just another repeat of the previous day, despite us having a definite time to meet. I look for Rick all afternoon he's nowhere to be found the restaurant employees appear to be calling him and then just tell me Rick is at Mary Rose. On another board Rick claims he looked for me again that day. This I highly doubt. I was in bed with a chica all morning until it was time to meet Rick so I would of heard any knock at the door.

In my original TR I never mentioned the toilet overflowing and running down the stairs. I'm lying in bed reading I get up put my feet down and the entire floor from the bed room into the living room in to the bath room and running out the front door is completely covered with water. Water is pouring out the front door of my place down three flights of steps like someone had turned on the hose. I go across the street to get someone, but you guessed it Rick is nowhere to be found and no one there speaks English, my Spanish does not progress much beyond asking how much for a BBBJ so there is a huge communication breakdown I'm trying to get them to come and see what's going on. Twenty minutes later the driver comes and sees the new water fall pouring down the steps, twenty minutes after that the real owner of the building shows up to fix the problem which takes another hour and half. Meanwhile its evening the chicas are starting to assemble along the strip, I'm getting horny and I have no place to take chicas.

In Conclusion:

I was left with the impression that Rick never intended to give me the room I had reserved. I don't know if he realizes how it looked but he appeared to be dodging me the whole weekend I was left with the impression that he really didn't value me as a customer, (which was confusing because I had booked in total four return trips with him) , that he really didn't care if he got my business or not.

Sasua Suites:

The good.

It's located right next to the strip, very convenient once you pick up your chica.

It's an apartment type of setting so great for entertaining.

Kitchen so you can prepare your own meals.

No I'd check so don't have to worry if your chica forgot her I'd.

Free airport and pick up and drop off.

The Bad.

No or very little hot water. If you love a hot shower in the morning you are going to be sorely disappointed.

No central air. (There is air-conditioning in the bed room, can just leave bedroom door open, helps a little)

No microwave and kitchen utensils can be somewhat lacking (but enough, unless you plan on cooking Christmas dinner there)

The NOISE, IT IS NOISY AS HELL, at least on the side of the building facing the strip until the bars close.

The Damn Dog Barking All Night (someone shoot that dog, please)

There's no one else to go to, if you have a problem you have to deal directly with Rick, if he's not around there's no second who can fix your problem, and from my experience Rick s not as easy to get ahold of (especially if he doesnt want you to get ahold of him) as he claimes to be.

Final Thoughts:

On my first stay in August Rick was Johnny on the spot if I needed something, on this stay he was ghost. If he wants your business he can be a very catering host, if he doesn't care about having you as a customer he is as reliable as a used car salesman.

[QUOTE=Frannie; 1379905]If your woman was cooking for you and then refused to do it any more, then clearly the relationship is on the rocks and she sees no future in it.

Kicking people seems a bit extreme.[/QUOTE]Funny! Wouldnt recommend the kicking part unless you want to be exploited and begging to stay in a stairwell in POP jail. Yea most of the time I hear she stopped wanting to cook, you could be on to something there because from my experiences the DR woman always start falling apart the longer your with them.

I have meet Chris Long on a couple of occasions although he may not know who I am here and he is a stand up guy so what he has typed is accurate no doubt. But I have been dealing with Rick for Rockys, SS, and Mary Rose for a short while now and never had any problems and to be honest on a cancelled flight he handled it like a pro. I think expectations from what you are told can get you in trouble, yes Rick is trying to sell the places for use, nothing wrong with that, but when you dont have the hot water or room you were more or less promised it can [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] some off which I understand, me I just deal with it. For instance Mary Rose (very Nice) is advertised off the strip so it is nice and quiet only problem is it sits next to some chicken/rooster farm. So you dont have the strip noise but you have this annoying screaming from 3am to 9am from those damn birds. The locals get use to it so they dont think of it as a problem and I slip in my ear plugs I got from HD for 3 bucks and I am set.

Just curious Chris how many days did you book?

[QUOTE=OldKool;1379901]When in the DR a women cooking for me is way down the list.[/QUOTE]Who said Dominicanas knew how to cook? Rice, beans, chicken and a lot of Sazon, season all. If you are up for a long relationship and will spend time training one to cook, that's fine. But don't expect a decent meal on the short term. You can find the same thing at a local restaurant, they all serve the same thing. Good food is rare here.

Heading to santo domingo at the start of March for the parade again, I'm heading for ten days, only planing on staying in sd for 3 days the rest in sosua! I've been to sd and enjoyed it.

Pretty cued up on sosua from what I've read here just one or two questions if anyone can help please!

1. Getting the bus from sd to sosua is it difficult without spanish?

2. Is the beach fairly safe see alot here on about picking up chicas there or on the way?

3. Ten days to short?

4. Can't honestly say felt 100% safe walking in sd would sosua be similar?

Thanks for any help or pointers

IMHO Sosua is way safer then SD. You will me among many friends. Men form all over the world are there for fun and women. The beach is a day time affair and is very safe. Plenty of places to eat and drink. There are girls there during the day but not many. However some of the girls working in the shops can be picked up for after work fun. I am not sure I could handle 7 days there. I would be exhausted. Almost every women you see in Sosua is on the menu. Almost forgot, the bus is a piece of cake. Go to the window and ask for bus to Sosua. It is a fun trip with stops for snacks on the way. Bring a sweater or a jacket because the air conditioning is crazy. Metro will drop you off in the middle of town Caribe you will need a taxi. I stay Rockys Sosua suites. 50 bucks for a one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. Food at Rockys is decent and you can walk to everything plus the place has a guard at night who is very kool. There are many great places to stay. Sosua Suites is my personal favorite. The owner Rick would be very helpful getting your bearings. Sosua was made for us. There several hundred hot young girls waiting for you. Take pictures and write a good report. I have a trip planned in 5 weeks with two wing men. The return of the black Gomer Pyle.

They cook what they have. I enjoy their rice bean and chicken. I do not want to eat it everyday but it works when I am there. My San francisco chica can cook her ass off. Let them eat cake was Marie Antoinettes statement when she was told the people have no bread. hard to for dominicans to buy steak.

QUOTE=Mr Gogo; 1380115]I agree totally.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]People in Cuba are poor but the food is magical. Cubans use spices. Dominican food to me is to bland and basic. If I'm hungry its okay, but its not the kind of food that makes you excited, thats all.

It is not entirely due to lack of different available foods, but they usually have a very limited knowledge of cooking techniques.

However today my mami cooked a wonderful lunch of fresh goat meat (very tender) with peas and rice, broccoli, carrots, green beans and a brown gravy that was NOT Sazon season all. I just added a little relish made from berries and it was as good as any meal I have had in the DR.

There are lots of excellent fresh fruits, vegetables and tubers if you just know how to prepare them properly. But don't look for things like quality cheeses or imported foods which are usually rather expensive.

Staying in Cabarete next week but definitely will be spending time in Sosua, I prefer variety from chicas to touristy things to do.

Great info on the board and hoping someone can give some advice.

1. Cost time and best way to get to Sosua from Cabarete? I have a hotel that allows chicas as long as they have an I'd.

2. If I did not want to bring a girl back to my hotel, can someone recommend available, somewhat decent rooms for the night in Sosua? I see lots on New garden, casa cayena etc but is there anything lower cost for the night? As I already have the hotel in Cabaret booked.

3. Anyone know if chicas can be had in Cabarete itself? More activity in this forum than the Cabarete one so thought I'd ask the question here.

Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]I think Charles Pooter just posted about everything you are asking just a few days ago. So you may want to scroll back. It is better to stay in Sosua and make day trips to Cabarete if you want to do activities there. I'm no expert on Cabarete but I think that if you plan to pick up a chick in Sosua she may not want to go all the way to Cabarete. If you have already booked a hotel in Cabarete why would you also want one in Sosua? There is more activity here for a reason; that is because there are more activities in Sosua than Cabarete. Don't get me wrong, I do think Cabarete is nice, but if you want girls you are defeating the purpose.

Looking forward to hitting Sosua, in Feb 6-12th, staying at New Gardens Hotel I can't wait to see, the new changes to Sosua Dlatins looks like the "hot spot" I'm hearing good things about that place, but I'm not hearing to much new intelligence on Classicos, I've been Rtff but, I've found very a mention, but nothing in-depth. We will post pictures of our high lights of our upcoming adventure. I want to thank, the mongers here just a few pas of reading, I pretty much have a great idea of How things are going? There's a free apps you can download free text messages unlimited, I've used this new service and its amazing you can text people from all over the world. I guess 2, 0009 pesos st, and 4, 000tln wow things has inflated. So if any monger is near New Gardens Hotel, please say hello just look for the black guy in the. El Caball Negro T-shirt, oppeace and love The Chocolate Jackhammer.
