Duarte street Chicas" Prices - A good thing

[Skynyrd]

Thanks Yayow sounds good, in fact they prett much all sounded good with the exception of the no room safe hotel, even though there's one in the lobby I like my shit within arms reach
but this helps a lot I will pick from your list after checking some reviews .

Again anyone going to Santo Domingo Hotel Riazor rocks close to several casas, casinos and freelance girls always at the bus stop out front or passing the little cafe on the corner

[GREEKFREAK]

I first started going to BOCA CHICA about 6 years ago. I hooked up with a hot chica for about 400 pesos.

Well I'm gonna try BC in Oct see how it goes...I need to read up on the hotel section for my best option of a nice, clean chica friendly room with AC and safe walking distance to beach clubs and action.

I have spent a lot of time in Santo Domingo and always have a blast there, I like the Hotel Riazar when I am in the capital.

Any recommendations for a Hotel in BC let me know, again I like to be able to walk to the action and not worry about dark alleys at night yet a decent place at a 50ish us price.

I stayed at the Apartment - Hotel Madejra(sp) in March and its right there in the center of things.
Not even a 1 minute walk to and splits Duarte Street in half. However you pay for what you get. For $45/night you get....

No phone in the room
No English TV
No water (when we arrived, eventually a water truck pulled up and delivered the water)
and an occasional Dominican cockroach which your chica will gladly kill with her slipper to kill the mood.

You know awhile back I did some research on a few hotels, I put a few of them in the re-discovering Boca Chica thread with some pics of a few of the places, but I never put them all up, looked for my notes and found some so here are a few more places that may fit your bill, also El Toro in his thread did an excellent review of the hotel he stayed at Hotel Calypso. The place right across from the hotel El Toro stayed at is called:

Hotel Astoria, real nice place a little pricer than some I think the rooms are about $60/night, pool, nice restaurant and bar, one of the chicas I deal with from Santo Domingo cousin works there, that how I got hipped to it. Has all the ammenities, a/c, cable, chica friendly, hot water, wifi , safe, etc. a block away from the strip. A block and a half from the beach.


Villa Mariana - wifi, piscina, room with a/c is $45/night w/o a/c is $40/ night. They don't have individual safes in the room, but have in the reception area, which they watch and are responsible for. Restuarant on premise open to 10 at night, bar, hot water, chica friendly etc.

Casa Coco - wifi, w/ac $38/ night w/o ac $35/night bar, restuarant, safe in room, hot water, pool, chica friendly she has to have cedula

Madejra ; $40/night wifi in room, safe in room, balcony w/ view of the ocean, A/c, hot water, chica has to have ID, if the chica spends the night $10 additional, if she is having breakfast with you the next morning an additional $5, bar and nice restaurant.

El Caucho we talked quite a bit about, where I am having the party standard room $35/ night, the manager said but maybe I have to remind her if you are coming for the party I think it will be $30/night. Chica friendly actually have some chicas that stay on premise, they tend bar (to help pay for their room and board), and discreetly service the men there. Larger rooms are $50/night. larger rooms have wifi in them, others have wifi in the common area, and as you are sitting there the chicas there are always checking their facebook, etc. Nice bar, nice restuarant - only open from 8 am - 4 pm although I have been there when they kept it open for a client if he told them earlier in the day what time he would be eating. Pool, hot water etc.

A few other hotels in the re-discovering thread, plus El Toro review of the hotel he stayed in a couple of months ago, besides that hotel right around the corner from Toro's hotel Calypso is one called El Candil had a friend stay there and he liked it a lot, think it is about $35 or maybe $40 a night, not 100% sure, but he is a cheap bastard so I know he didn't pay more than that a night. nice pool, I looked at his room, and I remember hot water, a/c wifi, cable and safe in room.

Hope this helped a bit.

Oh by the way all of these hotels are what I would consider within walking distance of the strip and beach. Actually El Caucho would be the furthest from the strip a 7 - 10 minute walk. But only around the corner from the west side of the beach.

I used to stay at Costalunga back in the day when I used to go to Boca Chica. I liked the location because the place is not right on Duarte in the middle of all craziness. But I don't hear much about Costalunga anymore. Anyone who has stayed there lately? Anyone who has any recent information about the place?

Yeah I know you had a great time hanging in El Caucho, good people there, when's your next trip.

Hey I wish it was for your party, but probably next year.

You know there are a lot of decent options for hotels in Boca Chica, butas has been said the newer hotels with better accomodations are a little further away from Duarte and the beach. None are really that far away, but a bit away none-the-less. The hotels closer to the action tend to be the older hotels, and therefore not as new with their accomadations, which makes sense, because back in the day when Boca first became a big European vacation spot, the properties that went first and where the hotels were built were the ones closest to the beach and Duarte (the main road, where most restuarants were located).

Looks very nice.

[Mr. Smooth]

Actually he did have a ball up there, he spent two and a half weeks up there after he left POP.

He hung with Tom from the Scandanavian Bar, and he and his friends showed him the ropes up there. He never did make it upstairs to Classicos (spent most nights in Merengue Bar), he always had something by the time he would have made it up the stairs, lol.

That dude loved to party. It was nice to know he eventually did make it to Sosua and checked it out. He called me when I was there and said he had planned to come to town that night and maybe look into getting a room, but that was one of the nights it rained so hard, I wound up staying in. Never heard back from him.

As an aside, for any guys who need a bit more horsepower to perform, Tom has chewable tablets. He told me a bunch of his Scandanavian buddies buy them when they come over and sell them to their friends when they go back home. 500 pesos for a 10 pack.

Boca Chica is one of the easiest places I know, anywhere to snag a nice, cheap room for the night. Small, privately owned hotels are everywhere and they range (off season) between $25 - $50 generally depending on how close you are to the beach. They vary widely in terms of in-room conveniences so a little scouting doesn't hurt but unless you've got a particular hotel that you've just GOT to stay at I would recommend just playing it by ear. I pay in cash to avoid ITBIS.

If I had to characterize the DR inasfar as doing business goes I'd say that the following rules hold true in almost every instance:

1. Regular hotels are casual, come-as-you-are, no reservations
2. Cash is King. Most hotels will give you the price in USD.
3. A handshake is better than a contract
4. Eye to eye is better than over the phone always always always
5. Everything is negotiable unless you're at the mall or the gas station.
6. A very little bit of Spanish goes a very long way.
7. Dominicans are generally speaking, very warm and gracious people, especially when they are at ease with you. They will share their last cerveza or cup full of rice with you if you make them feel appreciated and many times when you get to know a Dominicana she has already made up her mind to sex you up and the negotiation is merely a formality and is sometimes totally inappropriate altogether. You have to feel your way through the process.
8. A Dominican friend is a friend for life. They will remember everything that you ever said or did when with them so be careful with your words and deeds.

I had to bold that last one...
