What are you folks talking about, mountian view, barica etc? Then some genious mentions nagua (2 plus hrs away)? Hahahahaha
First of all, there is no dominican culture in POP, sosua and cabarete. These are tourist town with resident foreigners who go out with cheap hookers or poor girls from slums, they only know bachata music or listen to merengue which is only suitable for carwash type listening crowd.
Mountian view is a whore house, if you don't believe me, try talking to one of the girls there by the pool. Just look at the architecture of the place, typical whore house syle fixtures all over.
Now if you are going to go all the way to nagua then why is it that not one genious mentioned coming to santiago? only 1hr and 15 mins away through some of the most scenic route of this island. Santiago is full of interesting places ex: jazz bars, open air sports bars/ restaurant, theater, discos, jevito bars and private secret bars where private folks meet. Santiago is the cultural capital of DR where you will find anything and everything in small scale. You want to dance with senoritas then make sure you know how to dance and dress appropriatly and talk a bit of spanish. You will not find cheap poor whores falling all over you like they do in sosua and POP. People in santiago are classy and you will feel right at home of you are looking for this type of social activity. Some of the most beautiful women in DR are from santiago area.
Good luck.

AZB,
My, my, my.........where to begin in responding to this anticipated criticism. First of all, Jackson's initial request was for places to dance on the NORTH COAST. Based on the map, and your own unending reminders, we can conclude that Santiago does not qualify. The people who suggested Mountain view as an option were right up front that there are hookers there. (the ones in the red tops Jackson). This doesn't change the fact that it is a night club where play salsa, merengue and bachata.
As far as your derrogatory comments about carwashes, I really have to laugh. Like there aren't any in Santiago? You may not like it AZB, with your elitist attitude, but carwash discos are a part of dominican culture. They were NOT created for the tourist industry, and the primary market for the hookers that hang there is dominican men. They also provide a place where dominican and gringo alike can buy their beer or rum at reasonable prices and dance til the wee hours of the morning.
Regarding the suggestion to try Nagua. Yes, it is true that Nagua is a 2 hour drive from PP, but once again, I refer you to the map. It is on the North Coast, or at least I think that was the ocean I saw to my left the last time I drove there. I challenge you to say that Nagua is a tourist town with no Dominican culture inhabited by sankies and hookers.
As usual the board members responded to this man's questions and provided a lot of good information based on what he wanted, and your only response was to say that it's all BS and the only place with any class is Santiago.
By the way, do you ever intend to comply with the law and remove the tint from your windows, or are you just going to keep rolling them down? I guess this attitude toward the law is an example of the class and family values you learned in Santiago?
