Time to update Santiago

[Trib]

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.

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.

i have been through la vega. I remember seeing so many beautiful rubia's riding on the back of mottos. I was on my way to a family outing so i couldnt stop and enjoy but la vega is defintly a place to check out for a short weekend on one of my trips.

I love Montebar but for something a little more downscale, try Las Colinas. It's a tipico directly behind Montebar. Just go up 27 toward the circumvacion and make your first right at what used to be Padrino Burgers. Go down and take your first right again and its in the middle of the block on your right. Park inside. Hit it on a weekend and chances are you'll see some Sosua working girls with their chicos/chulos. Always available chicas (not a putas) in that place.

Dubai
Camus
h2o
Over
Moma

Mr Hooka
You can walk to all these places

Near the Monument you will find:
Puerto del sol
Talban
TeTTe
Ahi Bar
One Way
Montezuma
Kukara Macara
Privilege Nightclub in Hotel Matum
You can walk to all these places

Cashwashes, there are a lot located near the airport side, Gomez Diaz, Colonial, Passions, Illusions and Casa Blanca
You will need a car. It is probably a 5 minute drive between places

There are a lot of bars in Las Colinas, that is where Monte Bar is located. Easy Barrio girls. Lots of Tigres/DominicanYorks.

The secret to Santiago is lining up a bunch of girls before you get here. Start chatting with girls on a site like badoo. There a lots of girls who will be happy to meet a gringo.

Durning the day. Check out Calle del sol and the malls.If you get bored, head to a carwash. Around 5pm go to the university and watch all the cutie girls heading to class. After that go to h20 or puerto del sol for pre drinking spots. Then head to Illusions, Casa Blanca or Passions to get a pro. If you think you have game, then head to a nice nightclub like over, dubai or camus.

When everything closes at 2 or 3 am, check out vintage in hotel matum. Everyone goes there and place stay open until the sun comes up. Easy to find a semi-pro for 2,000 pesos.

If you are on a budget, cruise around the monument. The girls will come out of nowhere. They are cheap. The fist time I payed 1,000 pesos and took them home. The next time I paid 500 pesos. They are hungry for money.

All these different posts about Santiago is getting me really interested now. Especially being that I have to fly into that airport for my next trip to sosua. I will have to check out Santiago before I head to sosua..

When I first started coming to the DR, I had a taxi driver that spoke a little English. He would take me to all the cheap bars and carwashes. Of course I was always paying for all his food and drinks and I am sure he was getting a kick back after I left. Then I thought:

Why am I fucking the same girls as this dirty fucking taxi driver. I would always ask him where I could find the nice rich girls and he never knew. One day I become friends with a doctor, I and ask her where to go. She said Zoom night club in santiago.

I actually brought my taxi driver with me and after that night, I said goodbye to him. We were way different people. I always tipped my waiter 500 pesos and therefore had vip in zoom. I meet some many hot girls from weathly families.

I actually end up dating a doctor who was a few years older then me. I stopped going t the clubs and we started going to nice restaurants. She spent 8 years studying medicine and was ready to settle down. We would go to her friend house and I would see the guy's daughter who was 18 and smoking hot and think, WTF am i doing with this doctor who is 31. Fuck it. I left her. But things changed in Santiago. There used to be 2 nice nightclubs now there is atleast 10. My guy no longer works the vip.

Anyways, I like to share my knowledge of Santiago and the DR, because taxi drivers don't know shit and only want to use you

And it is very much appreciated.

I'm sorry I did not get the chance to call you on my last trip.
I only stayed one night and had 3 dates..

Strongly considering my next trip now, for the very end of March... will be in country for a week...trying to stay in STI at least 3 nights during that time.

Will DEFINITELY call this time...

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.

That is the truth, I have been on that road 3 times. Once with a taxi and twice I drove it myself. I knew it was a rough road so My plan was to just take it easy and try to enjoy the scenery. The first time it wasn't too bad, I drove rather slow and stopped a few times to take some pics and stopped at a shack of a bodega for a cervesa. The biggest problem was dominicans driving their suvs blowing past me at twice my speed. I was very careful when driving next to 1000 ft cliffs with absolutely no barrier. Got through it not a big problem. Now the second trip was a totally different story. And because of this you well never catch my ass on that road again. Started off just like the other trips, gorgeous weather leaving sosua, clear skies and lots of sun, feeling comfortable because i drove alone in the past, stopped to call a couple chicas in Santiago before i got to the no signal zones in the mountain, one chica said she can't come out to play today because it is raining in Santiago and I thought to myself as i was looking at a beautiful blue sky what a blow that was. But to find out about 15 minutes into my trip she wasn't lying, indeed it was raining and as I went further in rained harder. (Anyone see Forrest Gump the scene where it was raining in Vietnam?) By the time I got half way through the mountain It was raining so fucking hard I thought I was going to die. There were mud slides with small trees and boulders in the road, small creeks were developing across the road, the road looked more like a path in the middle of the woods, the wind was blowing so damn hard I thought I was going to be blown off the road. I came along a little shack where an old man who had a little bodega, I stopped in to get a shot of whiskey and to smoke the last cigarette of my life. The old man just smiled at me as water was pouring on to his floor. He made it seem like it was no big deal, I was sure his little shack wouldn't last long. I got back in the car and drove as carefully as I could. It did not get better until I was away from the mountains. It was still raining but the road was solid and no more falling trees or boulders. I made it to sti but i will never do it again. The autopista to Puerto Plata is the only way to go for me. I called the chica who said she can't come out to play and told her I now understand and we can hook up tomorrow.
