This lady, and now Congresswoman, knows a darn sight more about prostitution in the DR and its roots than your presumptions. I wish her success with her project and hopefully she gets round to enlightening a few of the mongers like you and those who come to these shores as sex tourists seeking out such vulnerable women to go look elsewhere.

You are not knights in shining armor....no the contrary imo.


- I hope you don't hurt your back carrying your pulpit around.
- I loathe the roaming band of mongers more than anyone, because they treat the girls as subhuman. But I don't fault a guy from this activity if he treats the girls with a little respect.

You should read about the lady in the articles posted...use the translate function.....and one wonders if she will ever get around to Sosua?

I doubt if I will damage my back preaching the gospel of 'enjoying it in a Dominican way' by encouraging visitors to travel out into this fine land and apart from taking in the sights and experiences, to frequent car washes and colmados and cabanas rather than always congregating in a couple of resorts which have become run down in recent years.

Have you tried it?

I don't get it, so you going to car washes and colmados, then using cabanas make it so much different and superior to mongers and sex tourists... !

Is this the recommended way, preying on innocent, normal girls, seducing them with gringo promises and passport to have an affair with you, then using them and when finished dump and move on to the next without making any contribution I guess - presumably as it is not a P4P !

At least mongers and sex tourists use the putas whose job is sex for money day in day out, however started, they do it for a living now, ordinary girls are not really their main target.

Not sure who is presumptuous here.... !

You Uzin.....presumably the meaning of your handle is now explained. And a break from Sosua to see life the Dominican way might be in order so you will quickly see it does not always have to do with exploiting women.

Not sure what happened to you in Sosua that you hate it so much, but I do travel around when I can and enjoy the country, always taking my girlfriend with me so I don't exploit anyone.

My basis of the comment I made about you was partly due to your thread about cabanas, where you praised their usefulness and how they serve their purpose for you (and I assume your affairs with chicas).

But we are getting too far away from the main subject of the thread, which is basically Sosua bashing of it's status quo and how the coming changes are going to save it.

If you had read my OP on that thread you would appreciate that after splitting with my ex esposa, as a single man I dated for a period and I am an advocate of never taking a date back to my apartment so made use like most Dominicans of cabanas.

Also you will read I am now in a monogamous relationship now.

Read and don't assume we are all like you.

I am out of this now having responded to insults having raised the very significant election of Jaqueline Montero in response to an earlier post.

A hotel shuttle would not suffice?

When I first came to the DR in 1986 (or was it '87?) and stayed at the former El Mirador (RIP), the resort had a half-hourly shuttle van to and from the beach which worked well.

Ever been to Hard Rock in Punta Cana? The beach is so far away from many rooms a shuttle is necessary.

A shuttle bus works for many. Casa Linda has regular shuttle service from their project in El Choco. They go to Cabarete, the center of El Batey and Sos?a beach on a regular schedule with several trips to each location daily.

El Mirador was one of the properties the developers were considering.

He is just looking for an argument..

My simple point was , should Guests have to rent a car to get to the beach , from their Hotel ?
Come on, Every All Inclusive KNOWS this Simple Formula, you MUST be on the beach.

But in either case you can not get top $$ for a Hotel which is not a comfortable walking distance to the Beach.
Its not even in any realm of possibility. Even the Ocean View Hotels are Struggling .
SO i dont know what "serious investors" he is talking about , but i wish them well.
I would have Zero interest in staying in such a Hotel, unless the rates are really really good.

This is just more Fantasy stuff.. its getting silly already.

Help me out JD, what do you think is "Fantasy stuff". You don't believe this project exists?

Danilo paid a surprise visit to Sosua today and it appears the tourist and community associations appeals have been heard.

More talk and no action? I am pretty sure any proposed school buildings will be completed. He does like those school buildings. All they need is proper teachers and equipment.

On the other topics like water, paving roads, new roads around the area, electricity, etc, etc, etc, I suspect just talk and no action.

Is the re-development of La Esplanada to be condos or an AI hotel style?

Some still think the hours will be changed back to the previous times by tourist season. Let us see how many burned tires it takes to do that.

The meetings being held are not finding much support at all. One would expect that the public outcry would be immense with the incredible damage being done due to the shortened hours of operation.

For a resort like Hotel La Esplanada to be a successful, it must have several things going for it.

Sunny Winter weather.
-The North Coast is very Hurricane free.

A nice Beach, Ocean View
-never gon'na happen
-without a Beach... Families ain't comin' (unless there ultra-budget minded)

Things to do.
-AI provides drinks, food, pool (and a BEACH)
-non-AI need Restaurants and Bars near by

Come to think of it.... Monger Hotels don't have a Beach
And there are of those Derelict bars near by.....

It is not going to be a "resort like Hotel Esplanada"

The fact that it is NOT on the beach should be of some "benefit to the area's vendors".

Perhaps, but people rarely go out to eat and drink from any AI. Like a cruise ship that does not go anywhere.

Taking a shuttle will provide work for a couple of drivers, but then the taxis could cause problems for those shuttles. And so it goes.

I think that the operating hours will eventually go back to the previous times. And I wholeheartedly believe they should.

"Not finding much support" is an understatement. Their support is disappearing faster than cotton candy in a wind storm.

Regardless, it makes absolutely no difference if not even one guest ever goes "out to eat and drink" it will certainly create more jobs than the rotting old Esplanada hotel that is there now.

On that we are in total agreement. Probably more jobs to be gained than the ones reportedly lost in recent times.
