I went to Lovera Bar on Friday. Wow!!!! Lots of hot girls. We bought of JW Black and it was 1,900 pesos. Very reasonable prices. So, I am finally able to convince my friends to spend some time in santiago and not all their time in Sousa and they are loving the change. They rented a 3 bedroom apt. (right behind Hotel Matum) for $60 night. Great location. We were able to walk to everything. Last night Plan B was playing at Vintage Night Club. That party didn't end until 6:30 in the morning. Vintage is the best after hours club. Tonight Over Lounge has Open Bar until 12. 300 pesos for guys and 100 pesos for ladies. Great Ratio of Women. My friends have had a lot of luck meeting girls on badoo.

I have driven both..I prefer the autopista as well.
Last week I was able to make great time..doing it in under an hour each way.
The Mountain road took me just about 2 hours.

Mrblackluv, explain the mountain road and the autopista, I usually go from sti to sosua using the road that takes you through that tunnel in the mountain, is that the mountain road or the autopista? I would love to know which one i should take in order to make sosua in an hour.

The one with the tunnel is the autopista. The one where you are driving 300ft on a single lane two-way packed-soil road with a 1000ft cliff and absolutely no safety barrier is the mountain road. Taxi drivers like to take it beause they think it uses less gas since they get to coast on the way down. Of course they don't consider all of the extra gas they use going up the mountain. There are some interesting things on the mountain road but when weighed against the danger of the road in parts in combination with Dominican drivers in general is enough of a reason to stay on the nice easy auto pista. The Autopista is incredibly easy. Take it out of STI toward POP make a right at the poice station and when you get to pop make a right and you are in sosua in 15 min. The autopista is an hour once you actually get out of the STI city center (which if there is a lot of traffic can take half an hour alone) once you are the outskirts of town it is about an hours. it is 45 min from the police station provided there are not a million slow moving chicken trucks or empty bleach bottle trucks or jesus freaks or accidents. The MT road is technically a shorter distance. For that you would follow the signs for Moca and then make a left and head up up and away. On one of my first trips on the mountain road (which was at two am) we came upon an overturned motorcycle and a possible dead guy. I asked if the driver was gonna stop and he said No way. If he is alive and we take him to the police he will blame us for hitting him. All that being said. I recently took the caribe tours bus from STI to Sosua and it took anout 2.5 hours. It was clean, relaxing, brand new, frigidly cold ac and about 10 hot dominican girls. One of whom I fucked.

Or when they said one hour they were referring to one dominican hour, which is anywhere between1.5 and 24 hours

I responded in PM...
Autopista is the one that goes through the tunnel.
Actually I may have misled..that time was from Hotel Los Jardines to KMA Apartments in Puerto Plata, and I drove like a damn maniac..no less than 120kmph..but trying for 140 the whole way. Going around trucks, buses whatever.
I've done Puerto Plata to Sosua in just over 15 minutes as well..
You cannot drive that fast on the mountain road (Moca Highway 21)..it is really...I mean really curvy.. up and down s curves..
I am not wanted by this site, but can't get the clues
I don't use the term Mountain road like you guys do-- I consider the mountain road the road Danytravel was talking about that comes out between Sosua and Puerto Plata not the Moca road.

I know of two mountain roads when heading to sti. One thathas a turnoff juat past Sosua on the way to pop and one on the other side cabarete

The one where you make the turnoff after Montellano on the way to Puerto Plata and it becomes Luperon when you arrive in STI, I've always heard it referred to as La Loma. I used to prefer it and they were improving it slowly but aurely. But over the past year it has really deteriorated. Last time I crossed over, it was abyssmal. I guess the residents of that area must have voted wrong in the last election
The other is called the Moca road. I heard that was one of the places Trujillo used to have people taken to be wacked. They'd shoot them and toss the bodies down those steep hillsides. You know, like husbands who didn't appreciate his mongering style. Can anyone confirm this story?
Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now!

The mountian roads are fun, just take your time. Usually there a few girls looking for a free ride. I take my time eating and drinking along the way. I just took a new route from Salcedo to Gaspar Hernandez. I like to get away from all the gringo and you will find the people in the campo to be very friendly.

Santiago is such a great central location to explore other smaller cities. Here are a few:
Mao
San Jose de las Matas
Moca
La Vega
Jarabacoa
Bonao
San Francisco
Alll of these are great little cities with Hot Girls and not many Gringos.

La vega and Moca are excellent. Gringo free zones.

My friend has a 3 bedroom apartment that he likes to rent out when he is back in NY. It is located in La Trinitaria, one of the nicest areas in Santiago. Right behind Hotel Matum and a 5 minute walk to the Monument. $60 per night.

For you guys that know about the bus schedule from Santiago to puerto plata. What time does the last bus leave Santiago to go to POP for people flying into Santiago airport in the afternoon or early evening?
Monger
My 2 choices were Hotel Matum, and Hotel Los Jardines.
Both are chica friendly.
Matum does not have wifi in the rooms, but if you get a room on the second floor (I tried 205) it's very close to the lobby area which does have wifi. I was able to get an ok signal.
I ended up not staying there...they could not get the door key card working properly. Could not generate a working key card for me. Only the maid could get in to my room. Then other people starting showing up saying they needed new keys...
They tried for over an hour..before I told them I was outta there. Gave me a refund without too much drama.
Rooms are big, and pretty nice. I would stay there if they could get me a key...
Rate was 2100 pesos per night, included free breakfast.
Hotel Los Jardines roooms are much smaller, and you use a real key.
Wifi was excellent. Rooms are pretty nice (but small). I would stay again.
Rate was 1800 pesos per night, included free breakfast.
I took 2 chicas to my room at Hotel Los Jardines..no questions..no problems..no ID checks..nada.

I like Hotel Matum. The rooms 201-205 are nicer because they have a balcony. You should check out their Presidental Suite. It cost $200 per night, but is Huge. It has 2 bedrooms, office, living room, kitchen and dining room.
