No pictures OP? Any recommendations for Santo Domingo? I'll be there in August but I will only be staying there for (2) days. The rest of my time, I will be in Punta Cana with some friends.

To be honest, I have a ton of videos but not much pics worth posting. As far as Santo Domingo goes, I only spent 1 day there at the Weston. There's a club (maybe 5-10 minutes taxi drive away) called Euphoria which is JUMPING til late in the morning. We got there around 10pm and it went from a lounge-vibe to an actual club in no time. Around midnight-1AM, a live band got on stage to perform which was dope. Quick note: the drinks there are pricey, so make sure you "pregame" beforehand.
Not sure if it was mention in this thread or not but try not to look any girls in the eye unless you really want them because they WILL come to you.
We spent the rest of our trip in Sosua and didn't look back.

TRIP REPORT UPDATE
Alright, fellas!
I got a couple hours on this plane ride to type up a trip report from my experience of the beautiful Dominican Republic. So here it goes…
First and foremost, a HUGE shoutout to the gawd @VaGixxer for showing us the ropes while we were out there. Spent a few days with him & his boy and they allowed for the triangle offense to run seamlessly. Real cool dudes & I can say the trip wouldn't have been as good without them.
Now that I got that out the way, GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY… the women here are heaven sent. It's really hard to explain it to those who have never been to D.R., but once you come here, you can definitely
understand why some cats make numerous trips here every few months. (I can't vouch for the Western Union papis, though). It's gotta be something in the water and the mofongo ingredients. Glad we didn't do the whole resort thing or I would've thrown up knowing what I missed out on. The women in America do not compare in any category.
On that note, the food was excellent! From the food on the playa to the Jamaican dude's restaurant waving you down to try his Rum Punch & jerk chicken. If you don't like the food in Dominican Republic, there's no reason for you to have tastebuds or a passport. I think we ate mofongo every morning and drank at least a barrel worth of corona, presidente, rum & mamajuana.
As far as safety, I didn't feel the slightest amount of nervousness or danger out there (and I was these streets). That's not to say you shouldn't use the eyes in the back of your head and your street smarts! This is a 3rd world country and you can't walk the streets like this is the music video for The Pharcyde's "Drop". The girls are very touchy and will run yo' pockets faster than Marty McFly's shoelace self-tying system without you knowing. Any doubts, wear pockets with zippers or roll deep. Don't be too flashy or disrespect the locals! A simple "no, gracias" will go a long way. Most (if not all) of the locals are glad you're here so their businesses can stretch. Some don't even want anything from
you; just to ask if everything is okay.
Transportation-wise, we had a dope driver (thanks to VaGixxer) who was real cool. Got free drinks and top of the line service around Santo Domimgo and Sosua. Unless you're a veteran on Jet Moto for Playstation 1, I suggest you not to rent a motorcycle (or car) because dudes will swerve in and out of traffic recklessly and there's no respect for street signs or pedestrians.
As I try to touch all bases, I'll continue with the miscellaneous:
• Weather was excellent. Rained once for like 25 minutes.
• The nightlife is unforgettable. Once that sun barrel rolls under the horizon, it's on.
• Eat the mofongo (had to repeat that).
• Try to fly in to the closest airport from where you will be staying the majority of the trip!
• If you give a kid on the street some pesos, just be prepared for them to come back to you later. Yes, they're awake at 5am.
• One of my boys speaks Spanish, so I had no problem with the locals trying to talk crazy or translating my Fresh Prince pickup lines to the chicas.
• Life hack: The chicas love the morenos.
• The clubs/bars were dope during the NBA Finals.
• Let me repeat, the women here are heaven-sent!
Overall, the trip was beyond what I thought it would be. I will definitely be back before the year is over.
Any questions regarding my trip or if
you're planning one, just ask!
My reaction every second.
Lol! My dude! [emoji]9995[/emoji][emoji]127998[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
Glad you popped that cherry! I'm going back in a few months. Imma DM you.
Told you sosua is the biz!

Ok so here is my take on the DR. If your not in a resort make sure someone your with someone that has a piece on them. Do yourself a favor and go to Santiago thats where all the blonde hair blue eyed girls are from and they love americans. Stop by passion night club just on the out skirts of Santiago that place is heaven. My wife is from Bonao and she took me there onetime and all I have to say is keep your girl at home that night. And when you leave that club at 6am be prepared to see numerous guns shotguns etc.. Don't worry they won't harm you that just life out there. hopefully when you leave the club with a lady stop at the closest cabana order another bottle and some food and have a great night.
A lot of people say all they wants is money and most of the time they are right but if you take a girl out here in the states your easily gonna drop $200 if you drop $200 in a night in dr that means your treating a party of 6 to a good *** time.
The best suggestion I can give you is hopefully you have a friend thats from there and go with them and stay with his family and you'll never want to leave. They are the friendliest people and want to share everything they have with you even if its the last thing that they have.
If you go to a resort bring $100 singles and hit the bartender or waitress off with a 20 spot and they will find you across the resort with another drink for the rest of your time. Leave the maid a couple dollars every day with a note for more beer in the fridge and in sure she will leave you more then enough.
Last keep in mind your in a 3rd world country leave your rolex at home and your gold they are pretty good at the snatch and run its not worth it.

VERY TRUE! That's one of the main things I noticed from my trip!
They are very prideful in their country (as they should be) and are just happy people continue to visit and support them. Every day that we spent on the beach near the shops and restaurants, the locals would come out to us and ask how America is and show us how hospitable they are. You kinda forget it's a 3rd world country when they talk to you because that seems to be the last thing on their minds.

what do you people (especially the Haitians and the Dominicans) have to say about the treatment of Haitians in that country?

I hate to say it but a lot of older dominicans blame a decent amount of issues in their country on the Haitians. This is just my experience from visiting and talk to people drinking beer out in the streets there. Why do you ask though ?

The government is basically about to deport between 100,000 - 300,000 people of Haitian descent, some of whom were born there. But because they don't have paper work they might get kicked out.
