I'm back in Sosua and can finally contribute something useful.

A new club along the lines of Passions opened two days ago in town. It is located very close to the Merenque bar, right across the street from the Brittania. Owned by three Belgians. one is Chris who used to own the Benelux bar right across the street.

I stopped in for a beer tonight, very friendly place, couple of nice girls offering 1 hr massage. Did not partake due to novia issues!!

I wish them luck. Location is great, owners very friendly.

From Sosua News:

Damien, Iwan and Krist have been working hard for the past few months, but last Wednesday evening their goal was achieved: their brand new Tropicana bar was finally opened. This Wednesday evening was mainly meant for friends and acquaintances of the three barkeepers, and on Saturday evening the bar was officially opened to the general public.
They have turned this into a really nice bar, with lots of professional woodwork, comfortable bar stools and a big circular bar. These guys know what they're doing, because the tiling, woodwork etc. is very well finished.

The girls behind the bar
The three owners
Damien, Iwan en Krist
However, the lights above the bar are somewhat bright and too strong, but this is just a small detail that they are still working on, according to Damien. The bar also has a massage department. Here too everything is neatly set out, with professional-looking massage tables and all the associated equipment. Professional masseuses from Santiago will be available on Saturday evening. Of course we don't need to tell you that the bar sells most of the Belgian beers available.
The Tropicana bar is located next to the Luis Hess School, which is 50 metres left of the Merengue Bar in Sosúa's main street (Pedro Clisante).

Thanks for the info, just had a few questions...

What kind of services are being offered in this place and How do the girls look?

snoozer
12-24-2006, 06:49 PM
I was told it is 1000 pesos for one hour. The girl is yours for the duration. Both girls I met were from Montellano, not Santiago. Very shy and quiet but attractive. The tall girl behind the bar was my choice but she said she did not do massages. I spoke to one of the other owners at Siempre Sol today and he said they have more girls coming in after christmas.

Time will tell if it will give Passions a run for thier money. My first impression is that it is less ' in your face' than Passions which I like. I am here for 4 months so will keep reporting back.

BTW, very quiet in town but lots of new girls here for xmas.. Not sure why it is quiet some say the new hours are having an effect others say it is the new airport at Samana which is offering good deals on charters, we will see what the new year brings.

I dont see this place as doing very well. That end of the street during the day is more a restaurant area. At night the discos get all the people. Location is whats going to hurt them. During the day mongers are at the other end of the road (LaPassion, 4 roses, Dominoes) or on the beach and at night theres too many chicas in the disco area to be bothered going here.

There are so many factors.
If they are still there next Christmas, then it's working out.
Surviving low season will be the real test.

this is true or they will have to exhaust whatever funds the owners have. theres plenty of businesses in town im sure lose money but the owners have enough money either saved or from other investments to keep them going. Ive seen so many places that you look at for a while and wonder...

How the fuck are they still in business?

The only way I can think of is from some other type of infusion of cash.

Heres something interesting......

Seacrets now has girls living upstairs. In return for letting them live there (I was told 11 chicas staying for free) they walk around with little flyers trying to get people to come in and make the girls sit in the chairs by the road so when people walk by they see a bunch of chicas sitting there. I have seen the same chicas in the discos also so maybe they work in shifts or something.

The place is still generally quiet but its bringing in a few people. Still nothing like what it was when the place was new.

They apparently still have minimal funds left from someplace to keep it all going while trying to sell it to some poor sucker.

I went inside this place one during my trip. I met both owners and the place is decorated VERY nicely. One owner seemed to spend more time in Lou's than his own place. Not that many chicas and not many customers. Once they run out of funds they will probably close.

A few hot chicas and good customer service is the key! You make your money when your top advertising is by word of mouth. This only happens when your customers all leave happy. This is when they keep coming back and more keep coming back. A lot of dominican establishments dont think like this. They think we got them inside once and got some money and there will be plenty more people so who cares.

A lot of people in Sosua keep coming back. They remember the people and places they liked as well the ones they hated.

A solid word of mouth campaign is worth everything... advertising here wouldn't hurt either.

Tropicana:

Has alot of potential but so far nothing like the quality of passions except elizabeth (below) that i recognized from frank's place and she is a nomad. probably working classicos by now.


The good news is that the owner is cool. 500 pesos and a chick is yours for the hour or the day-he just wants 500 pesos. i wonder if that will continue if he has some stars in there.

The best thing is there location. Once you close those doors you are completely shielded from the street which makes it a perfect place for a private party. If you want all the girls to walk away naked he said that it is doable. You want a show every hour or half hour. Doable. You want a girl on the stripper pole every minute. Again doable. Plus he has room to barbecue and 3 massage rooms that "could' be used for other purposes.

Since competition is good for everybody i hope his business works out, but he needs some stars even if he has to overpay them to attract customers. I was there for a couple of hours and the only smile i got was from him. For now, i guess i will keep making contributions to peters retirement fund.

That's a great question! I've never been interested in buying a business, but I have common sense to know that you shouldn't buy a business in Sosua for anywhere near that amount. These guys obviously don't do research of the area's history before investing that type of cash. The only impulse shopping I may do is buying Altoids at the check-out counter of a grocery store.

They had a few strippers lined up for the night. The owner pretty much was open to whatever we wanted. However, we hadn't picked up girls for the night and it was about midnight so we had to see what was out on the strip.
The owner was open to the idea of having an early show if we wanted it on another night.

P.S.

that girl got a standing ovation from the crowd. She put on a grade A performance.

Who got the picture of Aventura looking stunned when the stripper smacked him with her pussy on her chin???

Then she fucked a bottle of Salsa Picante on the bar. Unfucking real show, this was all performed to Enigma. I shall return tonight for more and will try and capture some of this on film.

Takes an acorn to grow an oak. I like the location but it sounds more a less a place to go later in the evening. Looks like these guys are in for the long haul so i guess the first real test will be the April invasion.

Went to this place several times (only looking the place was dead). Old LaPassion chica working behind the bar one of the days. Not many girls giving massages and the 3 I saw on all visits none struck me as one I wanted.

We did the tour of the place. Massage rooms looked like LaPassions but I didnt see a nice shower like LaPassion had.

The only thing in their favor is they have a good location but it didnt seem to be helping when I visited. During the day it was empty (we were the ONLY people in the place). At night nobody really stayed long they were all in the discos.

I think the owner(s) have a good potential spot and idea but to get people inside and to stay they will need more and better chica talent and offer something more than their competition to attract clients. They at least need to have a similar selection in both quantity and quality to their competition if they hope to succeed.

Where is this again - on the right before or after Classicos??

If your walking towards the beach it's on the same side as classicos. It located right after it.

It looks like a great place to hang and watch a show, but has anyone had a massage there (or done take out)?

For me the introduction of some erotic dancing in Sosua is very welcome (although I know plenty of guys who just don't see the point in a town full of loose women). However, when I went to the Tropicana in January you couldn't see the show properly because the stage was in one place and the bar in another (and with a big thatch hanging down which totally obscured the view of the stage). The photos above look like the owners have brought some extra seating to go near the stage which should be an improvement.

Talking of the owners, at least one of these young European guys was walking round with a briefcase with a big corporate logo on it when I was there which suggests that the club is just a sideline for them - probably just as well given the rate of business failure in Sosua.

I will give this place another whirl when I get back in May. Does anyone have any recent experience of the dancing scene there?

I'll should be going in about 2 weeks. I'll check it out then.I was there at the end of February. The place was dead. Three chicas, they weren't very friendly. Didn't see any of the owners around.

No real difference when I was there recently. Usually just a small number of bored looking guys at the bar and one or two even more bored looking chicas behind it. Didn't tempt me off the calles once in two weeks and I remain convinced the whole place is simply a front for gays!

I know you probably have a good reason for thinking that its a front for gay men, but could you please share that reason?

It's just ironic/sarcastic humour Corrado. You don't want to take every post on this board that seriously. All I'm really saying is that, alongside places like the Velvet Glove and Seacrets, I've always found this place to be a bit lame.

No, I take that back. More like a lot lame.

So this is where all the gay men in Sosua go....I guess they need a place to go too....better than having them wander all willy nilly around the streets. :D

OOOOOOOk, I feel you on that. More than one person actually thought I was snitching to hookers about what happens on this board. Probably because I would post in every thread I could find about snitching and joke about how I was snitching to the chicas. (Just like I'm snitching to the Tropicana's owners on you).
