    Latest Price Increases

    I havent been to the DR since July and from what I am hearing there have been quite a few price increases in Sosua. Anyone who has been there in the past 2 weeks can provide recent prices for some items would be greatly appreciated.

    I have heard of some bars asking for 140RD for a presidente. This is a domestic beer and they are asking over $4USD for it? in July it was 100RD. I also saw a condo rental price which was 25% higher then it was in July.

    I realize times are slow at the moment but trying to make the few customers pay more to make up for missing sales is only going to drive away more people.


    Local hotel rate? (name hotel and price)

    Price of presidente in local supermarket or colmado?

    Price of presidente in local bars?(name bar and price please)

    Price of a cuba libre? (name bar and price please)

    If moto conchos have increased rates ?

    Taxi rate from POP airport to Sosua?

    Taxi rate from STI airport to Sosua?

    Any other typical prices so we can see how much of an increase in price things have gone up if any in the past few months. Thanks.

    Re: Latest Price Increases

    Can't help you on the North Coast but I paid:

    $63 per night (for two) at Hotel Mercure including breakfast.

    $6.50USD for a six-pack of Presidente Light, $4.00USD for a 750ml bottle of Brugal and under a dollar for liter bottles of Coke at La Dispensa, a grocery store on El Conde.

    A Presidente Grande and order of papas fritas was $160DRP at Meson de Luis in the ZC

    Hope this helps

    I too have noticed an increase in pricing in some spots in the south. By the time they add in the 10% tip and ITBS of whatever that 16% bullshit tax is.....prices ain't much different than SOFLO....although Hotel Mercure was charging me $2.50USD per beer last week.

    Hopefully, the government won't start taxing the chocha!

    Here right now, haven't paid more than 100 for a Presidente and that was in CLassicos

    Local hotel rate? (name hotel and price)
    In a condo, no Idea what they are, but the condo was a little more than a year ago, but not much 255 per week

    Price of presidente in local supermarket or colmado?

    Price of presidente in local bars?(name bar and price please)
    Bought a Grande from Siempre Sol was 100 I think
    Price of a cuba libre? (name bar and price please)
    Dirnking mostly Cuba libre, but they are under 100 eveyrwhere except Classicos and latinos, can't rememebr excat prices as we take turns buying rounds, but it is 60-80 in most places. El Bohen charged 180 and Crytals is 150.
    If moto conchos have increased rates ?
    No, although they will try to charge more especially the one sin front of Classicos, I avoid them
    Taxi rate from POP airport to Sosua?

    Taxi rate from STI airport to Sosua?

    Any other typical prices so we can see how much of an increase in price things have gone up if any in the past few months. Thanks.
    I find the chicas are getting really unreal getting lots of 1500-2000 ST offers that I walk away from. It seems more hardcore around here and fewer good deals around for chicas.

    I reported on terrible chica deals... This time, 3 chicas quoted this Newbie americano 2000 US---yes I fuckin' said US, for the whole night, just to see his response... Fuck!!!

    Had to Pay 100 Pesos to park at Sosua Beach on Sunday....Went on a tirade to the dudes there in Spanish that they would make americans stop coming to their fucking country, cause they weren't smart tryin' to get too greedy... Dudes just smiled and took my hundred pesos.... :-)

    This chic started telling me about Miami, and how Whores in Miami make 1000 US a night...

    There favorit line is "I know it's noting to you Papi, it's noting to you"....

    Are you serious ? Thats some fucked up shit.Even if they did look like a bunch of idiot Gringos , thats just fucked up. I would have laughed so hard I spit my drink all over them, and then give them 200RD , now go buy yourself a new outfit with that. Who do these Ho's think they are? Im starting to feel less & less empathy for them every time I hear shit like this.

    Unfortunately supply and demand. Also happening in big cities in Thailand and Cambodia, got to go up country for lower rates. More girls wanting GFE looking to own their own walking ATM. Fookem, still more supply then demand, just negotiate or keep on. Shit, you should see them here in Vegas, its all relative.

    We stopped parking in the lot about a year ago. Next time, park on the main road where the buses park. There are some steps there that lead down to the beach. It will put you right in the middle of the beach.

    50 pesos for what? We've never paid anything. When Papi comes over, we tell him no gracias. Last month, we parked there about 3 times.

    Me and my buddies are heading from oct 30 thru nov 5 and we are virgins to the DR. The one thing I have learned from this forum is don't overpay the chicas. If One quotes a outragous price move on to the next one. I am here to feed the needy not the greedy.

    Hi Beads

    Re: Latest Price Increases

    The problem in the NORTH seems to be these bitches in the cum swap clubs (PFP on site) are realizing that either you guys are too lazy to chase some fresh ass down and hit it ......or you got no game...(Don't espic Spanish, don't know the culture...)

    South Beach bitches for a grand a night...yeah it's true...and there's a lot of third world hoes kickin it down here too (www.independentgirls.com shows them)

    TREAT THEM LIKE 7-UP (Snoop Dogg) Neva have, neva will

    If you can stomach the noise in the Colonial Zone....ST is 1000 or less (in your HO-tel room) and TLN fo fiteen hundret is everywhere.

    It's cheaper to fly into SDQ too! (Coming from SoFlo) Sounds like Sosua is beaches and bitches an' I ain't got time for that....not to mention "the look" up there is not as exotic as I'd like....me gusto SDQ, STI...y los colleges....

    El Capitan is willing to set up a South Coast Cunt Crash in early 2008 with any ISOC that wanna hook up. (After February...I am booked down there on biz until then)

    EC speaks Spanish and will negotiate for you.....just smell good, be halfway polite...and be willing to accept the price you get, nothing worse then trying to barter after you had yo' nut....

    ...and remember my sig line!

    Did I use the word "hate" or anything close to it? You cannot deny that your running feud with Bead has kept us all entertained since the Great Statue Seller Controversy. I value you both. Beads has patiently coached me in the skills of obtaining anal sex, and you have enhanced my bachata collection.

    Abuelo? Does my daughter realise she is a mother?
