02/2010 - New Club in Santo Domingo: Club 305

I had passed La Parada the other day, and it was closed, I just thought it was opening later but what you said, explains it. I know Ronnie and his brother, I think if I recall his brother's name is Ronnie, and they are from Miami as you say, the other day when P2, and I stopped by the older Cuban guy was there, and we spoke with him a bit. Didn't know they had short time on site, what's the price for on-site, and what do the rooms look like??

Around the corner is the piano lounge #56 Pasteur Ave. Same owner as GBP, but a lot closer to the tourist area than GBP, same prices (1,000 pesos 1 chica, 1,5000 pesos for two for about an hour), smaller place, nice looking, two rooms on-site for activities.

The take out is $2,500RD just like the GH. About half the Chicas dormitory there. The rest come and go as they please and can be negotiated. I took a Chica out of there Monday night (2:30am). More about that in the upcoming TR. I didn't go up to see the rooms but there was a steady flow of traffic.

Unlike any other casa I've seen in Santo Domingo, they stay open until 4am each and every day of the week unless there's no business. Their biggest surge in business happens around 1am when customers fall in from the other casas.

These guys are positioning themselves to be a prime punani destination as the recession ends and monger travel gets back up to speed. My flights between SDQ and MIA were nowhere near full. Most of the single guys travelling on my flight to MIA from DCA were headed for CR. Most of the passengers on my flight to SDQ were church groups with the same T-shirts on. A couple guys who stay at the Acuarium and run missionary projects were there with their groups. One runs a mission orphanage and the other a clean water project (both through local Catholic diocese).

Wanna hear something funny? I was having breakfast with the orphanage guy one morning and he asked what we paid for the Chicas. I told him the casa price and he almost choked. He said he never spends more than $400RD. From that I guessed that he never ventured far from the siphy street ho's that hang around Ave Espana where "Jazzy Club" used to be. Eeewww!

Here is the Million dollar question.I got lost going back to Santiago from Santo Domingo Airport somewhere in Santo Domingo.My tour guide riding shotgun was sitting on my map[don't ask] I went down a road it was dark and it looked like Las Vegas strip with all the lights but instead of Hotels and Casinos they were Cabanas about 20 of them.Where was I in Santo Domingo?

You were probably on avenida san isidro or on the malecon west of avenida luperon. If you were near the caribbean sea it would be the malecon. No water in sight than avenida san isidro.

Couldn't tell it was dark but near there was a large Hotel looked like a large cruise ship upside down all by itself.Both sides of the road were Cabanas one after another at least 20 of them.

A pyramid with a chopped off top is more of a description of the Hotel near the cabanas.I wasn't on Ave epanol east of River I was there earlier in day when it was light.

You weren't lost. That is the new hotel on the way into santiago and the cabanas are also on the way into town. After the hotel you most likely passed the new hospital. You were about 2 hours after SD.

Here's why: Half the Chicas are from La Parada (now closed). Half are from Girl House (still open) and the Maitre D' is from Lapsus. The guy who used to manage security/ comin's & goin's at Lapsus is now the manager and the owner is "some guy in Miami".

305 is a very nicely put together facikity and nothing like it in the area comes close once it's finished. There's on site ST, Chica dormitories, interior courtyard patio area and VIP rooms, all in various stages of completion.

Sky High is owned by "some Cuban guy from Miami" and I'm hearing the similar descriptions all over the place. This isn't some random individual ownership....more to come.

I have known the maitre d for about 8 years. He worked at Remington Palace back when it was the best casa by far. He then worked at Aurora behind jaragua. Then he went to la parada, later to girls house and from your report made a stop at lapsus.

The older cuban guy miguel used to own parada, GH and a small dumpy place in ensanche la fe. They opened a place Climax in la romana. When yayow and I stopped in last week he told me he sold climax for 1.2 million. He sold GH for 420k a few years back.

BTW, the current GH owner is also cuban from miami and he owned foxys before selling it. There are lots of cuban guys from Miami in santo domingo.

Miguel and the guy that owns GH are going to be in some fierce competition. In fact miguel tried buying Monaco and the GH owner outbid him and opened Foxys as he was afraid of the competition.

Miguel is the father of the two guys from Miami. Rumor has it he has a dominican wife/gf that has been costing him tons of money.

We need mrhappy to weigh in but I think the woman that owns GBP and 46 is the woman that had Cisne before selling to Allan. She also had an MP called hawaii and her sister had a place out near the presidente factory. Her sister's place got raided a few years back during the crackdown. 2 nights before it got raided I spent the night there as my taxi driver, who yayow has met, was banging the owner.

When GBP opened some of the chicas were from the sisters casa near presidente factory. The heavy set blonde barmaid worked there and when yayow and I went to 46 1 or 2 of the chicas also used to work at that place.

Funny thing about 46. Yayow was there one day showing a chica pics from his party. I was in one pic and the chica was like "I know that guy". . . .I don't remember her for anything. . . .

I was in Santo Domingo not Santiago.There is no place in Santiago that has as many Cabanas lined up like Santo Domingo were I was lost.

Been to Santiago four times since Xmas. That hotel is similar looking but not by itself.The Cabanas in Santo Domingo there were 20 of them within a quarter of mile on both sides of road looked like las Vegas strip.

If you were east of the river it would be avenida san isidro. If you were west of the river it has to be the malecon. Did you drive past 4 or 5 large casino hotels about 10-15 minutes before you saw the cabanas?

Tell me how you got out of the area, and I can probably tell you where you were.

If you were on Espana, and went across the floating bridge to get to the malecon, I'd bet even money you were at the 30 de Mayo cabanas, which is what the malecon becomes as you leave the city. If you were on the malecon, you would have seen the ocean, it's impossible to miss, even at night.

To get out of that area, you would have had to go up on an elevated road to go north to the Autopista Duarte. In doing so, you would have passed the hugh rotunda with the big arch in the center, and long round buildings on each side.

Also, if you saw an overpass, or went under one, you were at the cabanas on the west side of the city, not San Isidro.

By the way, the chick that runs GBP is NOT the owner. I got to meet him the other day, but I couldn't tell you shit about him, other than she introduced him as the owner.

Prtyr is right, she ran Cisne for a time. That's where I know her from. Back in those days, she was quite the looker. She still looks pretty good, but she's put on a few pounds.

I think was on west side of city maybe south all the expressways went in soo many circles it wasnt even funny .Don't know how I got out just asked every person I could at stop light where to go cause my tour guide that said she knew the roads did not know shit and was sitting on my fucking map that I searched the car looking for.

During day was no problem I could see ocean so I knew I had to go towards it [South] then left towards airport .


Reason for wanting to know where I was is because if there is 20 cabanas within quarter mile there must be girls in that area to fill them!!!!!!

Never seen so much neon lights and Cabanas granted by airport and Santiago has some cabanas and Puerto Plata by Ocean world but nothing even close to this place in Santo Domingo.

Oh, so your tour guide was a female? No wonder you got lost. :rofl:

I still think you were in Santo Domingo on the malecon. As mentioned in above post the malecon (George Washington Ave) changes it's name to 30 de Mayo. With cabanas on both sides of the road and at night you probably would not have noticed the caribbean sea.

Since you were in SD on the malecon earlier in the day you would have had to do a lot of driving to get lost in the area of the san isidro cabanas.

Your assumption is right, I have seen several chicas hanging out near cabanas in SD.

My guess and I guess we won't know for sure until you get loss in the area the next time, and since you were apparently trying to get to the airport, I would guess you were on San Isidro (trying to head toward the airport), just past Charles DeGaulle in Santo Domingo East area, and yes there are many street walkers in that area.

Being on the Malecon, you would be heading in the totally wrong direction from the get go, to try and get to the airport, so I make this guess, assuming that originally you were heading in the right direction for the airport, and simply made a wrong turn, thus the guess of San Isidro, going pass Charles DeGaulle, I could see how that could happen if one got distracted by an attractive chica sitting next to him.

No I was heading back from airport going to Santiago.Already went to Boca chica,Juan Dolio and airport.

I would have known where I was on Malecon was there earlier by water park Naval station and croosed the river to Colonial zone.

Then in either case you were truly all fucked up!!!!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::p

Either one of the two choices, San Isidro or the Malecon, would have been in the wrong direction, and I can't think of anything else that would fit the bill.

yayow i think you are right, he probably needs to get lost again. :) Coming from or going to the airport it is possible to get lost in either location.

No you get 2 bossy latina chics who think they are Christopher fucking Colombus your lucky to make it back at all.

There is also construction going on now and Detours.

I quit listening to them after an hour and a half of circles.
Gave the one I was seeing the boot before I left.

The video actually looks like it is it in Santo Domingo?

Just one chica giving directions is bad enough, but you had two.........:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

The video clip are the san isidro cabanas and actually both areas would look almost the same for a one and only time seeing them. The malecon (30 de mayo) cabanas are much easier to get to if you are in Santo Domingo centro.

The water park and naval station are not on the malecon. They are on avenida espana. Sort of the second malecon. I seriously doubt you were back by san isidro later on, so you may have been at the cabanas on the malecon. . . . . .but can't think of a hotel that looks like upside down ship any where near the malecon cabanas.
