Re: Samana prostitutes and crime
First, I apologize for starting yetanother on this subject, but feel it is important for those who desire rental companions. Moderators, please move to where you feel appropriate.
My Dominicana wife and I are here with a single male friend and thus far avoided the touristy places like Sosua and Cabarete because he's been there done that, but the whale watching is special.
So, we decide to spend a few days here and finally enjoy the sunshine which has been lacking and he feels a little lonely. Not speaking much spanish, my wife interprets for him and we meet what we thought was a nice lady. After an hour of pleasantries and 2 minutes of negotiations we gave them some privacy.
Standard precaution - we hid and/or locked away any real valuables, seeing as how they don't have the security non-AI hotels routinely provide in Sosua.
The next morning I realize my cell phone was missing from the toiletry case in the bathroom. Stupid, yes.....can't be unlocked and useless here, but still a ****er. Nothing even happened between them, so he said.
Now, the next night....he tries again with a slightly english-speaking one and it wasn't even 10 minutes she tries to steal some (costume) jewelry we absently-minded left laying out. He busted her with a ring in her hand.
Samana has definitely changed from my last visit 3 years ago.
They put on a great act. Seem nice............at first. Stick with the true pros and stay away from the ones who can't advertise.
