What's up people.
I intend to make a first time visit to DR by myself to Boca Chica sometime in the beginning of June as a single male. What had drawn me to go there was that a friend of mine had gone there by himself in '02 and '04 and he had a blast. I am looking to lie out on the beach, enjoy the nightlife, and meet cool people. After reading the posts on this board extensively, it seems that the consensus is that El Candil or La Costlunga hotels are the most preferable due to their being clean, and guest friendly. What is kind of discouraging is some of the things I am hearing about Boca Chica is that the nightlife isn't as good as it used to be back in the day and the prevalence of prostitutes.
My questions are:
1) are there any normal girls in Boca Chica? I don't mind the prostitute situation if there are some regular girls to balance them out. I know it's a Third World Country and its not easy to make a living.
2) did those who stayed at Boca Chica take advantage of the proximity of Santo Domingo and go there to enjoy the nightlife? Is it easy just to jet over to Santo Domingo? I hear the girls in Santo Domingo are more respectable and professional and the nightlife is great.
3) Is Sosua a better bet to enjoy the nightlife? If so, how comparatively cheaper/more expensive is Sosua to Boca Chica? I heard the girl situation there is similar to Boca Chica, but if the nightlife is better in Sosua, I might switch plans.
4) Like I said earlier, I plan to go in June, but what would discourage me from changing my mind and going to Sosua is the fact that I know it's more likely to rain in June in Sosua that in Boca Chica because Sosua is in the north. Is this true?
I'm thinking since this is my first time and I've never traveled abroad by myself before, that I should go to Boca Chica just to go and relax and and have fun as I'm on a budget and be more picky next time around. However, any suggestions, advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
