Bambu

[Mr Hillbilly]

Why do I bother to post?

So you can first to report what happens when the ISOC taxi service meets up with taxi mafia!!

I will want ALL the details!

[WickedWillie]

No they in the last 5 days. Why do I bother to post?

Oh OK Sid, now I get it, this was your personal experience in the last 5 days.

You had 1 duff muff with terrible sex and you are now advising everyone to avoid Bambu based on a solo experience.

Pretty sure I've never read anywhere that guys get the $$$ upward sell and a lousy shag. Do hookers try that shit for real???

Never happens in Sosua for sure.

Must just be in Bambu, you are right, stay away

[Nakom]

Um.... hold on a sec.... isn't that what you find back home? Why come to Cabarete?

1) I can't pick up 18 - 25 year old women at home.

2) Drunk tourists (any age) on vacation are always 100X more open to a one night stand.

3) I travel for the vacation first, the hookers are just an added bonus.

The guy on the motorcycle that bought the farm and took his GF and a couple of other kids with him was trying to make the trip in 5 minutes.

So much for that argument.

Jeez, I didn't have a stopwatch!
"seemed like 5 minutes"
and, no the motoconch was not speeding, and no I never felt unsafe.
But, again- the publicos are the way to go!
I was actually harangued by said chica when she I told her I took a motoconcho- she said it's too far of a trip (ironically, I did it to not keep her waiting long!). Seemed fine to me

Be my guest! Go for it. Your luck and skills are better than mine! If you read, I gave you specifics. Tens years of strikeouts for me. Surely you can find the 6'3'' Haitian. Happy Bambu mongering. I'll stick with Sosua.

A couple months ago a friend picked up a chica in Bambu... she changed the price when he got to the cabañas to 300 usd... he was drunk and horny so he paid it...

he also got pick pocketed by another chicha on the beach west of LAX... while he negotiated with her... guess he was pretty drunk!

[Sidney]

Sid, have YOU ever been to Bambu or even Cabarete at night??????

Sunday night 11pm = no chicas in Bambu! Is that negative?

[WickedWillie]

No but early, with the exception of Friday/Saturday and holiday weekends Cabarete doesn't get going until midnight.

Sorry Willie. I don't think it ever ''gets going''! I'll spend my time in Sosua!

[DRJones]

It gets going after midnight most nights, especially Fri-Sun. Also Ono's next door. There is a new disco under construction where Las Brisas used to be which looks like it will be air conditioned.

From 10p-midnight stop by the Arriba Bar across the street on the second floor. Its the pre-game gathering place.

A new place called "Wow" opened between Cabarete center and Callejon de la Loma where they play Latin music. It may have some potential. They have live music on weekends. Its owned by two African American physicians.

Bambu

Avoid. Sosua is infintly better. The place is full of DR druggos, chulos, and gays. Men outnuber ho's 3 x 1. The chicas are worthless

I have been living in Cabarete for 3 years, and I think that's a matter of opinion. I know I'm a "newbie" but I never heard of this site until recently and have pretty much stayed up all night perusing the posts and pics. Bambu is fine, but if you're new, you have to know who you're dealing with or have someone with you who does. If you're at Bambu after midnight, especially on a weekend, you'll see the same chicks from Sosua who didn't get any action and are looking to score the " greener " tourists in Cabarete, at higher prices. It's pretty much the same. Now since Willy " Chamo " and Illana have tightened things up in Sosua after the election, a lot more action has come to Cabarete since Christmas. The best thing to do is go back and forth on the beach between bars and clubs checking out the ones who are pros and the ones who come from Sabaneta just to score bill money, the " semi " pros. After midnight, 1-2000 pesos for the rest of the night isn't that hard to do.

I also used to work in Sosua, so I'm not fresh, just pretty laid back. You'd never notice all 6'3 of me unless you asked me a question.

Celuisma Cabarete (Adults Only). I had a discount coupon from hotels4u.com as a return user. Cost $32.60/night for 8 nights in July (high season, I think). Never been to Cabarete so I'm hoping the beach/resort is nice.

Scofflaw~

I was there in July of 2009 for 4 days with a girl from bonao. It was not the nicest resort I have ever been too, but we had a blast. The staff was fun, food was not very good but we ate it, the second room we had was good but the first one was horrible. I refused to stay there, told the staff to get me another room with a good a/c system and to come get me at the bar when it is ready. The beach was nice at night, we partied so much at night never really saw it during the day. the last day there she blew me on the beach around 5 am before we made it back to the room.

As far as Bambo I have mixed feelings, I really liked the nightlife at bambo and the cabarete beach, Got to know the DJ at bambo and me and my girl always had a good time. But if I was rolling solo looking to find a chica I think i would have been disappointed. Also there is a bar i liked going to across the street from the backside of bambo, you cant miss it, it is upstairs blaring music off the balcony, usually a few chicas hanging on the balcony looking over the street, it is owned by a german girl. she has fusball table and pool tables. Again I was with my girl, I didn't see much to pick up.

During the day Cabarete has a beautiful beach with nice atmosphere. Nice restaurants on the beach in the sand. Food pretty good. But if you are not already hooked up, you might get lonely. Now 32.00 dollars a day sounds like a good deal, but unless you are coupled up I imagine you will be traveling back to sosua alot.

Last thought, there is no way in the world I would stay in Cabarete without having a novia with me.

[ctp1812]

I'm jerking your chain- but, c'mon! "All the way" to Cabarete???
Jimbo, it's 5 minutes! I took a motoconcho once when I was in a hurry to meet a chica there.
And yeah, if you have a minute or two to wait: the shared-taxi/"publico" is the way to go. I think there's a five/ten peso premium at night, because lastvyear it was like 25 pesos to Cabarete during the day- and about 30/35 back at night.

Just a THOUGHT OF CONCERN:

I do not think you would get my ass on a motoconcho at let's say 2:30 am traveling from sosua to cabarete. With or without a chica I think it's a bad idea. Yes it is only a 10-15 minute ride, but it is on a road that is black as night. Anything could happen.

You been to Sosua since December ? Illana and Willy Chamo have changed things. No solo " Chicas" on the beach or they go to jail, some solo Chica's if they look like "Ho's" ( whatever that means ) get harassed, shook down, arrested, and don't let the poor chick be Haitian. A lot of the action is moving away from Sosua since the crackdown, or you only see it at the discos late at night. Some of the clubs were forced to enclose their open fronts with windows. I'm not saying that Sosua is dead, but it's changed a lot. Illana thinks she can make Sosua family friendly and that Sosua can be a tourist attraction where people can come and enjoy the beach, bring their children and don't have to worry about what they may see strolling down Pedro Clisante . It's still there, but it's more clandestine now. Chica's don't approach you when you're sitting on the corner cigar bar having a beer, or at a sidewalk cafe. I think their idea is doomed to fail because Sosua was built on Pussy, but it's had an effect for the past few months.

I am completely aware of what is going on in SOSUA, but I am not sure what your comments have to do with my time spent in Cabarete in July of 2009. I was staying at a resort in Cabarete with a chica from Bonao and was sharing my experience with a guy who is getting ready to visit that same resort.

They have a lot to do with it. Your post said stay away from Cabarete without your own "novio", my point is that a lot of the action has moved here. I'm not going to argue with you about it. I was trying to add some information since I live here and know a little bit more about Cabarete's scene. I see a lot of the street chica's from Sosua who have come here , they are limited to pass by's in the daytime , But Cabarete at night now is different, my point was that it has changed a lot in Cabarete since 2009. The rude comment was unnecessary. A few of the Haitian chica's seemed to have moved to this area, and I spot familiar faces on the streets and in the neighborhood down near Islabon where the Haitian chica's live. If you know this area, and know who to talk to and where to go, you'll find it's not 2009 anymore.

I will be in Cabarete for 8 days this summer. If Bambu is to be avoided, are there any other good spots to pull chicas? Any massage or onsite places?

Thanks!

A couple of new pool halls opened up near the car wash going towards Sabeneta, but it's probably wise to take a friend, and even a Dominican "guide" with you until you find what you seek. Not hard at all if you try. In fact, some of the motoconcho guys will take you to the Dominican bars in Sabaneta and Gaspar Hernandez if you ask ...

Some guys say they could never do 8 days in BB. I couldn't do 8 HOURS in Cabarete!! lol.
