02/2005 - Marriott Courtyard

[Jimmydr]

Well they have a $69 night rate for September so the Three Amigos will be staying there for the week end.

[Cheeno]

Have a great time Jimmy.

Make sure you visit a chica-casa called "GBP". Its only 1,000 pesos for a full-body massage (with lotion or baby oil) and sex.

If you enter the place, the left-hand side will be a bar (with tons of balloons on the ceiling), and if you walk straight, you will see a fitness room. But almost all of the equipment do not work. Its just there for "display".

You can take your time (no time limit).

Here are directions to the place. Its only a 10-minute (depending on traffic) drive from the Malecon.

All the other chica-casa's charge 2,000 or more (for two hours of time).

Have fun!!!

It's 1000 pesos for each girl, so for a threesome, it's 2000 pesos, but that's not the kind of threesome I like.

And most of the equipment does work, BTW. I've had some fun with a chica on the big exercise machine in the back..

Then it looks like someone must have broken the equipments because they were not working.

Was it you?

Sorry, I do not know where the "Garden Marriot" is.

But thanks to you, I know where GBP, Banana Bar, and Shylo Bar are.

Please check your PM.

Where is the Marriot Garden Hotel and is it girl friendly? I just checked Marriot's website and the only hotels that pop up in Santo Domingo are the Jaragua and the Marriot Courtyard. I'll have a rental car and I have a room booked at the Marriot Courtyard for now but after reading through Cheeno's posts, I don't want to get caught up in all the traffic/construction everyday.

This will be my first trip to Santo Domingo, I've mongered pretty much exclusively on the North Coast: Cabarete, Sosua, Puerto Plata and Santiago. Since I will have a rental car, don't know my way around and I can't find any good GPS maps of the DR to load into my Garmin, anyone have recommendations for maps?

Thanks in advance,

Traffic sucks from 8am until 10am and then again from 4:30pm until 7:30pm.

And avoid the areas that have construction.

On Sundays, there is no traffic.

[MrHappy]

There is no Marriot Garden Hotel.. I was kidding around with Jimmy. It's the Marriot Courtyard.

[Cheeno]

Hey guys

I stayed one night at the Courtyard Mariott which is located on Maximo Gomez.

I like the hotel because of the following reasons:

• It is located in a quiet location (away from the drama at the Malecon)
• It is only a five-minute walk from the United States Embassy
• It is only a ten-minute walk from the Canadian Embassy
• No guest fee

I paid $129 USD (including 26% tax).

Maximus, Jay Jay and myself spent 5 days here last year. If you sign up on their website, you may get the $69 a night special as we did.

Thats a good hotel. Nice lobby to sit and have a drink or snack. Food was good as well, but the breakfast buffet was something like 500 or 600RD.

[Jimmydr]

I shall be back in September 2009!

Hey Maximus

You are right--breakfast cost 500 pesos plus 26% tax.

During the day, they have free coffee, water and cookies in the lobby. I ate five cookies. An hour later, I had to go to the bathroom to take a shit.

[Jimmydr]

We ate all the cookies during our stay within 30 minutes of them putting them out!

i'm staying here on the 17th. I need places to go for picking up girls and exchanging money for the best rates. Do the hotel have a camibo @ the hotel?

[dpilzbo]

I know this is mentioned in one or two other threads but if you stay there, remember that Marriott owns the Renaissance Jaragua and you can ask them to call over so you can use the pool there. The pool at the Marriott is very small but I used it like a big ass jacuzzi and had many nice times in it with my "main squeeze" from Santo Domingo. The pool at the Jaragua is larger by far.

Hello Kaaz4u

I do not know if this hotel has a cambio center.

The best rate I got was 35 pesos at the Majestic casino.

Yes but the rate SUCKS!

[Vincent Vega]

Hey guys! I still think Western Union gives the best and most consistent exchange rate.
