nyc11,
If it is your first time there as I am an experience Boca Chica traveler, I think I have been there 6 times, it is hard to keep track I have traveled so much to the DR in the last two years, it is hard to find a young crowd in BC. North Americans are the minority there: there are more Italian, German, and other European tourists than North American. I never run into more than a few North American Tourists a day, and rarely in your and my age range, I just turned 27.
Personally, I can't stand BC for more than a few days, it gets old and I go for the beach and then head for the capital or to spend time with my son in the north. There is no real nightlife and the hottest spot is Cosmos Disco and all girls that come in there are hookers, it is how they make their living. There are normal girls but most of them work at the banks, etc but wouldn't be caught dead on Duarte St because there are about 50 girls working Duarte St, either in the street or hanging in various bars there. Usually about 20-30 hookers at Cosmos Disco after 11pm. If you want younger North Americans, better parties, more local girls to try to pick up, etc I would choose the North Coast. Santo Domingo is the happening city about 40 minutes from Boca Chica but it usually helps to have a Dominican friend show you around so that you don't waste a lot of time, it is a huge city about 3 million people. It took me a few trips to Santo Domingo to find the good nightlife but intermediate Spanish is recommended which I have really had to work on, I thought 3 years in high school and 2 semesters in college and I would be able to communicate great but I was mistaken. I have really had to study on my own quite a bit in the last few years and still make mistakes, but usually minor ones now, forgetting to use the proper verb tense, etc.
Most N.Americans go to the North Coast and Cabarete would be the town for young people who like to party and have fun. Go to Cabarete, I think you should stay there and Sosua is only a short distance away and you can check that little town out as well, and choose for yourselves. People's tastes are different.
Now for nycVU,
Didn't mean to jump on you on the other thread, and including comments to you about another similar thread, but they change waitresses/bar tenders at Isla Bonita regularly, I have been with a couple of them myself at Isla Bonita and have photos that I don't share with anyone because I keep my word, and have also seen a few of them working Duarte in the evening or negotiating with customers who want to meet them later
Most girls in BC if they say they aren't a hooker, just wait until the morning, then the sob stories start about how they need money for their kid's, medicine, and groceries, etc and if you pay nothing (a tip) you will see a very pissed off lady and she will tell all her puta friends what you did, and within a day or two, no puta or girl claiming not to be a puta
will have anything to do with you. You don't have to believe me but that is very true. Only in BC do I have to pay for play about 95 percent of the time, elsewhere in the DR I work my charm not counting drinks and a generous taxi fare in the morning. Actually I hate paying for play because I am in overall good shape, not ugly, and a nice guy and have no problems in the clubs/bars in the US. Heck, I think I should be compensated monetarily
