Ok, so im scrounging up money for my trip to sosua and a idea poped in my head. Why dont I get an all-inclusive hotel and have a women meet me at the airport and I just take her there instead of keep paying puntas left and right for 5 days. I would tell them in the begining that she is my GF, that way she can get in. This way I can save on food and beverage. I could give her several hundred dollars and tell her she can eat and drink till her hearts compound. Good idea? or no? If it is where can I talk to one of these puntas on the net, so that I can set something up?

I mean no disrespect by the following statement....pls don't take this the wrong way!!!
But I don't think your ready for DR!!!! That is not a good idea at all!!! First: AI? don't do it, there r far btr options. The TL, Rocky's, look up the info on this board. Now if you want to fake wifey a chica for a day or two, that's fine. Go crazy for a few days and then settle down on that cool one. But don't lock yourself in on some chica, on your first trip to the D!

I agree with the above posters on this.

Even if you lucked up with one that is cool and to your liking, you could easily spend more money for that round the clock 24-7 chica then you would by staying at Rocky's (only $25 per night) and paying as you go. With a little self-control (not always easy to do in DR) you could get by on a tight budget with a few STs and one or two TLNs by just getting a cheap hotel in Sosua as long as you eat and drink cheap.

Couldn't agree more. Vacation isn't the place to penny pinch in my opinion. Especially a place you haven't been. Shit happens and money solves most problems. And the above posters are correct. Now if you had been there a few times and have a novia/regular then that would be a different story.

Actually the all incusive hotel is where you will spend valuable money.
They also charge per person, doubling your hotel cost.

If I were in your shoes, Id'e have no question about going to BlackBeards.

Cheaper rooms, and point and click.... please don't take a chick with you.

I've never stayed there, but it looks like $55 a night for room.

1500 ST or 3000 TLN per session

Plus food and drink.

Seems cheaper to get a room at Rocky's or D'Piero. You can eat and drink all day, on the money you save on the room per night. Then negotiate with the chica's! Meet some guys from ISOC, and get the lay of the land!

Doesn't seem like he can be thrown to the wolves so soon, even with isoc around.

Stay in BB's and they will cater to your every need and cannot under the rules of the hotel overcharge you.

Now they can't keep you from falling in love with them there (That happens a lot at BB's)

First all newbis should join the paid trip report area and read about 100 reports from 12 different countries.

Second, maybe join Jimmys Stash and see how the senor members party together. Of course, you get get that feel from the trip reports as well.


Third, maybe get involved with mongers shooting the breeze topics which include sports and movies.


Get a feel for things and who is who.

Nobody even hit on, what to me are the obvious downsides to doing what he suggested....

Buddy... you will have problems with:

1. Changing girls (cuz they give you a relatively unremovable bracelet for the meal plan)
2. Stink Eye from the family vacation types who will be staying with you.
3. Most Dominicanas don't really like staying there because of the food and because the place is geared towards families and gringo families at that.
4. Most of the AI's are located in the Playa Dorada complex, which is away from Sosua and it isn't convenient going back and forth all the time.

Like the others said... Blackbeards is the way to go for someone with your level of DR experience.

Unlike some of the other posters... I've been a few times and the only problem that guys seem to have is that they decide to leave for more variety in Sosua. But... there is plenty available there and they will call girls in if you have specific needs.

My 2 cents.

I was thinking the same thing. Some people can go solo because of basic street smarts. Some people have to ease into it. Personally, I wouldn't recommend anyone new to this lifestyle just jumping in head first. This is of course assuming he has no prior mongering experience.

I worked with this 41 year old woman and she never in her life ate in a restaurant by herself. When I told her that I wasn't having any dinners with her, she just sat in her room and ordered room service. We were in Portland Maine where the downtown area is great.

I agree with balcoach completely!! Put your trip off a few months and save up. I pennypinch here at home, but when I'm on vacation, spending peso's is never on my mind. I just wanna enjoy myself. And, I want everyone around me to enjoy themselves, so I usually buy a round or three so that they are!!

agree with these guys. save your money and read up on the boards in the meantime. a lot of the fellas here have been down the road you wanna walk many, many, many times - i think a few of them even helped pave the fucker. :rofl:

last thing you wanna do is be stuck out there having spent all your money in the first few days or pinching pennies the entire time you're there. you can still be economical about things and save money on the stuff you don't mind giving a little on but it's gonna take a little bit of knowledge that you don't apparently have right now (no offense).

Hi Neillt. Yours is a very bad suggestion.

Firstly, you will not save any money because you have to pay double at the AI.

Secondly, your chances of hitting on a completely strange girl who you will be happy to stay with for 5 days are extremely remote. (Some of those bitches we want to see the back of within 5 minutes. Not often, but it happens to the best of us). Switching chicas will either be impossible or will cost you a lot in bribes.

Thirdly, the chica will like the novelty of the AI for one day but after that will get bored and will always be finding excuses to leave you to be with her chulo (boyfriend/husband or pimp) or just to earn a few thousand extra pesos with quickies. And she will always be hitting on you to buy her stuff in the shops there where prices are double what they are outside.

Fourthly, one of the main reasons for coming to the DR is the quantity and variety of women you can fuck within a few days and you will miss out on that.

Fifth, if you have a good time you will want to be back. In many ways nothing beats the thrill of our first trip to the DR but the compensation is that on subsequent trips you will benefit from what you have learned. You will learn little stuck in an AI.

Totally agree with the other recommendations. The selection of chicas at Blackbeards these days is the best ever (unless you are in the tiny minority which prefers fat chicas or the slightly larger minority who prefer haitianas). Easy enough to price out what 5 days there will cost you.

If you really cannot afford that then it is possible to have a great time about one-third cheaper by staying in Sosúa, somewhere cheap but reliable like Rocky's where you can make friends with other mongers (both there and at New Garden, almost next door).

If you have not already subscribed to the Trip Report section here I strongly recommend you to do so. It will be the best few dollars you ever spend on mongering. Read and read. Once you have read widely there you will realise (with all due respect) what a dumb idea yours was.

It is possible to have a great mongering holiday based in an AI. Some of our most experienced guys do it. But they arrive with a "swinging" partner, a phone full of contacts, and probably hire a car and spend a lot of their time doing non-mongering stuff with old friends.

I hope you do make the trip, have a great time (it is hard not to, but some idiots seem to manage it), and report back to us in technicolor.

Neillt,

I just completed my first trip to Sosua in Jan. I planned 2 nights at BB's sandwiched in between my time in Sosua. I left after the first night at BB's and couldn't wait to get back to Sosua. I much prefered the action in Sosua. BB's was a little too serene for me and lacked choice.

I know many give the place high praise and it is a safe and relaxing environment for a first timer but I think you'd be fine in Sosua. I flew solo as well.

I stayed at D'piero....$40/night and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I think Robert13212 provides much of this already to Sosúa visitors except the Spanish language (he is still struggling to master English).

He doesn't charge so at least pay his expenses (gas, phone, or whatever), and buy the guy a meal and drink if he helps you a lot. Then the next time he offers to buy me a drink I won't have to humiliate him on the board to get my 19 pesos back.

While your sentiment is appreciated by all who find BB's somewhat limiting... we must keep in mind that not everyone is the same.

Spanish speaking, having a wingman, needing more than 30 decent to great looking chicas to choose from, or knowing someone who has filled you in on all the does and don'ts, all contribute to whether or not a guy is better off skipping Blackbeards.

Before advising someone to leap right in, you might want to throw in a few caveats so that smaller town, shyer, and less experienced guys don't get overwhelmed.

For a newbie who hasn't hobbied much or has never traveled to hobby... Pedro Clisante can be quite a culture shock.

My opinion is that unless the guy is a loner type and has some experience, it's better to risk a little boredom than to have his trip spoiled by not being ready for things.

I got my indoctrination by two very helpful guys, who explained almost everything there was to know before they finally transitioned to Sosua and away from BB's.

I'm one of those guys who, as long as there's some decent talent to be had... I'd rather spend my time in the room than sorting through the crowds in Sosua.

I have no regrets about switching, but wouldn't mind going back to Blackbeards and their fantastic Jacuzzi either.

But... this is only MY 2 cents.

Ok, so im scrounging up money for my trip to sosua and a idea poped in my head. Why dont I get an all-inclusive hotel and have a women meet me at the airport and I just take her there instead of keep paying puntas left and right for 5 days. I would tell them in the begining that she is my GF, that way she can get in. This way I can save on food and beverage. I could give her several hundred dollars and tell her she can eat and drink till her hearts compound. Good idea? or no? If it is where can I talk to one of these puntas on the net, so that I can set something up?

Neil, no one has asked yet, so I will.

What is your budget? How many days do you want to get in?

All of us here can make some great suggestions on what to do with your time and money.

But bottom line.. AI is NOT the way to go.

I got my feet wet in the DR with drnights.com
It was an overpriced service that I would not recommend.

I chose the 2 girl 24 hour companion package with a third girl for two hours each day.
Hanging with an 18 and a 20 year old holding my arms as I walked around the resort was not my idea of a good time.

I felt completely trapped by the situation ..
But remember, this was Punta Cana, not exactly a place with too many options.

So, I just tried to have as much fun as possible but would never go that route ever again..

I chose to spend some time at BB's for the reasons that you mentioned. Non-spanish speaking, new to mongering, a little concerned about culture shock of Sosua, etc.

But it turned to not be the best decision for me.

The choice at BB's is definitely limited. You have 10-15 chicas to chose from on any one given shift max. Whereas in Sosua you could easily have 10 times that amount. If none of the chicas tickle your fancy at BB's well...you're sort of out of luck. In Sosua, the chicas just keep rolling in. Just when you think you've made your mind up at Classico's on any given night another dozen roll in. And if you don't like any of those you can head next door to Latino's or another of a number of bars that have available chicas. Then there's Passions, CMP, etc. the choices are endless and you will eventually find what you are looking for. The same cannot be said for BB's. On my one night at BB's I actually went to bed alone ( not exactly what I had envisioned) but of the 10-15 I had to choose from at the disco none really tickled my fancy and if I was thinking about one or two they were already taken (tln).

I will say this about BB's though. I met a great bunch of guys there and they were fun to hang with. I just wish we could have rolled out on Pedro Clisante together instead of a tiny disco with limited choice.

If neillt needs a mentor and is a little laid back or reserved then BB's may be the place for him. If he feels he is ready for the action and culture shock of Sosua (although I personally didn't find it that much of a shock) then Sosua may be the best option for him.

I also enjoyed the vibe and liveliness of the many bars and restaurants in Sosua. It was great to be able to walk into a bar at happy hour and have a couple of beers and meet some people, etc. BB's doesn't offer that option. There is a nice beach in Sosua as well.

Sosua to me just offers many more options and I just wish I hadn't wasted a day and a half of my valuable vacation at BB's.

I hope neillt makes the right choice for him. I'm offering my opinion as a fellow newbie and just informing him of the mistake I made.:)

im so glad my first trip was straight to sosua. I hadnt even found this board at the time but some woman wrote a review on tripadvisor that said she and her husband checked into the new garden and all she noticed was "older men coming in and out with young pretty local women.. you figure it out".. that was all i needed.. i booked my trip.

Come on guys. At least he's asking!

Alot of us are lucky that we make enough money to be able to pay our bills and still get to make some trips.......even though I'm not as lucky as eastcoastallstar and danytravl!!!!


I agree with balcoach completely!! Put your trip off a few months and save up. I pennypinch here at home, but when I'm on vacation, spending peso's is never on my mind. I just wanna enjoy myself. And, I want everyone around me to enjoy themselves, so I usually buy a round or three so that they are!!

You didn't buy a round or three to me to make me happy though!!!!!!
I am talking about a round or three of chicas obviously, not drinks :wink:

I got my feet wet in the DR with drnights.com
It was an overpriced service that I would not recommend.

I chose the 2 girl 24 hour companion package with a third girl for two hours each day.
Hanging with an 18 and a 20 year old holding my arms as I walked around the resort was not my idea of a good time.

I felt completely trapped by the situation ..
But remember, this was Punta Cana, not exactly a place with too many options.

So, I just tried to have as much fun as possible but would never go that route ever again..


Well, that is not totally exact.
It's not Sosua, but there is Jazzy, a club with amazing beautiful girls.
There are also few little bars with some talents inside at a good price.
You also go to the discos ( there are two or three) where is almost like Classico, plenty of girls to choose from

Neil, no one has asked yet, so I will.

What is your budget? How many days do you want to get in?

All of us here can make some great suggestions on what to do with your time and money.

But bottom line.. AI is NOT the way to go.

I say book at Rockys and follow the countdowns on here. I'm sure you can catch a few guys from ISOC whose days will be during your trip. Just follow the board and when you meet seasoned vets listen to them and you'll have a fund and safe time--guaranteed.

BB's is a great way to start, but not that cheap IMO ($60 a night cheapest room). My first trip was 4 days and I enjoyed the hell out of it. It seemed a little short, but sufficient. You'll think any amount of time is too short your first trip. I just notice that after staying at BB's for 3 days and Sosua for 3 days I banged the same amount of chicas (2-3 day), but spent a lot more money at BB's because I drank a lot out of boredom at times.

He's pussywhipped (married)

His wife is probably more computer savvy than he is, and he's scared shitless she'll find out he's on a pussy site and all hell will break loose.

It is possible to have a great mongering holiday based in an AI. Some of our most experienced guys do it. But they arrive with a "swinging" partner, a phone full of contacts, and probably hire a car and spend a lot of their time doing non-mongering stuff with old friends.

I don't consider myself that experienced (5 DR trips in 3 years), but I always stay in an AI. If you look for deals you can get Casa Marina for $30/day. Add in a bang room at Rocky's, and you're spending less then NG or TL, with unlimited food and booze. And you have a room to take chicas that doesn't have any of your stuff for her to steal.

Works for me!
