Re: 07/2019 - Current situation in Sosua
So a flight from JFK to STI landed today. TGunz was on it. Haven't been in touch with him him personally, but was just a Flip Flop and they were communicating.
My observatoins today:
FLIP FLOP - open
CUBANO - Coffee/Cigar Bar - is open
NEW ITALIAN PLACE - formerly Chinese restaurant, next to CUBANO - Open
JOLLY ROGERS - Did not look open completeley
MATTEO'S - Not Open yet. He's in no hurry til more people are here.
SCHNITZEL - Open
CHEZ MONREAL - They had all the chairs outside and looks like they're clearning to open any time.
I had to get back to work so I didn't go to the beach yet, but many spots should be open in next few days if not today.
I will be exploring more the next few days and post as I see it.

I just learned that everythg must close by 8PM for now. Guess that's the way to TRY to maintain some order after drinking at restaurants. Also makes sense because establishments are operating with skeletton crews for now.

That is way too early if you want tourists to come.

Will hotels in Sosua allow guests in?

My understanding is that in general guests are allowed in the hotels that previously allowed guests. My question would be is there any sort of daily limit. I’m thinking that multiple chicks coming through daily would be frowned upon or perhaps not permitted. I’m sure within a few days a lot of our questions will be answered.

That would suck if there was a limit for some mongers.

Re: 07/2020 - Current situation in Sosua - with Covid
I guess they would want to keep it low key & discrete in the beginning. My guess would be one guest at a time and no hanging out with them at pool area.

There's still the energy in the air that we're dealing with CV19. So, I don't think most guys are on a mission to smash 3-4 chicas a day--although some are backed up and may feel the need. Many in this environment will find a regular or 2 and keep with them I'd guess. Also, unless someone has a lot of contacts, the options aren't outside for all to find--unless you're not that picky.

What about those that never stay with them longer than needed?:confused::confused::confused:

This morning I went for breakfast at Steven's. It's an open-air Italian restaurant at the end of Calle Sin Salida over looking Playa Alicia. It's a great getaway from all the noise on PC, great food and coffee....lot's of parking.

That’s going to be a difficult situation for some of the guys who are used to treating the girls as disposable. It will be interesting to read the trip reports as they start to trickle in.

To me it seems that most of the guys you describe, are also the type that would have less interest in being here without the discos and bars being open. Under the current situation, I'm not sure how many high volume type of guys will be interested in visiting.
Tipping security well goes a long way when there are restrictions at hotels in Sosua though.

Re: 07/2020 - Current situation in Sosua - with Covid
With emergency and curfew gone, nothing can be done; we have to stop lying at least to ourselves - we will be over the chicas in all ways possible and with as many of them we can afford by all means.
This is a personal touch hobby with the closest social contact imaginable. All girls come from crowded poorly ventilated housing, they take public transportation and share multiple connections within their family, community and beyond.
If this malady continues to be present in Dom Rep, we are going to be exposed to it, and the only difference is the result of the exposure.

It had 2 eggs, bacon, fried cherry tomatoes, toast and coffee. Food was 250 pesos and coffee was 60 I believe. Not expensive for the view and ambiance.

Thats about $6 USD for breakfast with that gorgeous view in that area.
That sure beats a couple of sausage, egg and cheese McMuffins at a McDonalds drive thru for $7 bucks.

Not all come from crowded houses. I know quite a few that live alone with a child or 2-3. However, I agree that many are often sharing things with many others outside of the house. During quarnatine they were taking private taxis or semi-private cars with only 2 other chicas. They were trying to isolate--SOMEWHAT. Now that things are open, you're correct though, in that they're taking crowded publicos, gua guas etc...
In theory, I think some of us have conracted CV several times and by taking multiple showers a day, swimming, changing clothes frequently, etc...have contracted and washed it away...Obviously none of that helps if someone sneezes in your face who is infected though.

I'll be there in 2 weeks doing just that with no fear. Maybe even go raw on a few. You may not want to shake my hand. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

This 'source' should be taken with caution.
The article does not correspond to the text from the ministry and the text from the ministry itself is already outdated.
From July 1, hotels and resorts may receive guests again, but under strict conditions. The bars and restaurants will remain closed for the time being. The restaurants are of course still allowed to make take-away meals available. The restrictions for the hotels are as follows. Disinfect hands and luggage upon entry. Disinfectant gel and wipes should be available at the entrance and in the rooms. The bar and restaurant is only open to regular guests. After 8 pm the bar and restaurant will be closed. The closing at 8 pm also applies to other companies. Furthermore, keep a distance, wear a face mask outside the house, and wash your hands regularly. According to the official government agency 'Salud Publico', there is now a pandemic in the Dominican Republic. So all these protective measures are necessary to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.

Re: 07/2020 - Current situation in Sosua - with Covid
for those that wonder.
The cases in the DR seem to be on the rise which is not very surprising but I was wondering where they are occurring
as of 7-7-20
https://i.postimg.cc/44hhDVC2/Pages-...1-COVID-19.png
Pretty much as expected most of the cases are in the Santo Domingo and Santiago areas which follows along with the population of the country
Never really been that bad in Puerto Plata Province
Be interested to see what the next couple of weeks brings for cases for the country
Kinda hard to read with the small font size and its in espanol
