sosua or cabarete

[frank12]

I visited Sosua today to see what all the superior attractions this town holds that sometimes leave people both breathless with excitement and exhausted at the same time. This is what i noticed (I should point out that i'm a professional girl watcher so don't try this at home.)

1. During the daytime, if you chew enough Viagra, and you look at the girls just right--at a 45 degree angle like dogs sometimes do--you can see a halo that guardian angels like to wear on top of their heads. They're stacked on some of the girls heads like pancakes--one on top of another. But then i realized, no...this is not an Angel Halo. On the contrary, these are plastic Tiara's with fake jewels glued to them--like my 5 year old daughter wears around the house.

2. If you consume enough rum, chew several Viagras, and then stare directly into the sun, some of these girls actually look like super models. No, i'm not kidding. I thought i saw Tom Brady's wife walk past...but then i realized it was a really attractive drag queen.

3. If you consume enough rum, chew enough Viagra, and stare directly into the sun long enough, and spin around as fast as you can until you begin to projectile vomit, the drag queens began looking stunning.

Some drag queens just walked in...i got to go!

I have never been but in my reading I have learned that the locals in DR are very conservative and do not give drag queens, ect a free pass. in other words, they do not put up with that kind of thing............is my research mistaken?

There are two sides to Sosua. I don't wish to sound judgmental, but there is a "seedy" side, and then another side that many residents and most visitors do not know.

Within Sosua are luxury complexes with very private beaches, exclusive amenities, and none of what has been described above. Not every visitor to the DR wants- or can afford- this type of living. I respect that.

But, just to give some balance and honesty to all the above posts, it needs to be noted.

I felt Cabarete was for the younger crowd who likes to hang out on the beach, both day and night, for sports and fun.
Sosua is more sex and booze in town, with an older community. Also, lots of money and retirees.

 

[Tamborista]

I like sex, booze, the beach day and night, as well as sports and fun, now I am totally confused!
I think I will have another fria.

tambo'

 

[jrhartley]

so we conclude that old people dont do sports or have fun and young people dont do sex or drink

Tambo became middle aged

 

[Tamborista]

I don't take the La Peller every day yet feller!

Frank12 is a hard act to follow, especially when he's on a roll....

Cosmin, as a follow up to my earlier advice, I'd encourage you to rent some space for a month or so in one town, then do the same in the other. It'll give you a better sense of the local vibe without forcing you into a long-term commitment.

You may very well find that the beach towns are great, but a bit tedious once you get over the "beach & bikinis" island fantasy. DR has a lot of really good areas to choose from, none of which are more than two hours or so from a beach.

Puerto Plata is just ok for me, but I really enjoy Santiago (in the mountains, great weather, LOTS of stuff to do, you can be in Cabarete in less than 90 minutes taking the Moca Road).

Santo Domingo has a ton of people and horrible traffic, but by far the most options available on the island in terms of lifestyle. Once you get past Boca Chica, there are nice little beach towns all the way to top-tourist-destination Punta Cana. Cabarete and Sosua are only 3 hrs away via the new Nagua highway.

Rob honestly reading so much on all kind of forums i think i will get to your words. My final line to say it's that Punta Cana is a long hotels and resorts area with not so much fun and nightlife, Cabarete is better than Sosua.

Ok. After talking to a few real estate agents from both Sosua and Cabarete can anyone please tell me where exactly does Sosua end and Cabarete start? A lot of properties are in-between these two.
Anyway i decided to arrive to DR next week on 7 get a night at a hotel and then the next day i will go search for apartments and see them live.

I will arrive in Punta Cana since the ticket is half price rather than in Puerto Plata airport and i was thinking to either come directly to Cabarete and rent a long term there or to live 1 month in Punta Cana and then explore the country and see where do i "fit"...i don't know really...what would you do...
big thanks to everyone.

 

[tanicos]

not to mention that if cabarete will be my final choice i'd love to get you out guys and girls for a drink

 

[jrhartley]

do we need to wear drag or was that someone else asking

I think you could evaluate the Punta Cana area in less than a month, but then again I have not been in that region in years so there may be more to see.

There is actually a sign that I believe demarcates the eastern edge of Sosua as you travel westward from Cabarete. It is after the Cabarete Medical Center closer to the first traffic light in Sosua than most people realize. I suspect the boundary of Sosua is anything but a straight line in that area. It is true that many properties are west of the center of Cabarete on the way to Sosua like Encuentro, Costa Azul, Perla Marina, Sea Horse Ranch, Haciendas El Choco and Lomas Mironas. I tried to find a map of Sosua, but the ones I found do not seem to be close to correct.
