I thought I might put in a brief mention of the La Passion Bar which is a different setup then the regular street scene.

Basically, La Passion gathered up a group of ladies they believe is attractive and they have 10 options on their "Menu". The options are very pricey, but it is a guaranteed time. No runners or ladies ripping you off. They put up pictures and a youtube video demonstrating all the ladies in their inventory.

If you are willing to pay a premium for a guaranteed time where you wont wake up to see all your shit gone, then La Passion is for you.

There are a lot of petite girls that look really hot in the videos and photos. Sure, girls will always look better with glamour shots but videos dont lie and I was impressed. Shame the flights to a destination that is so close is near $900 from Los Angeles.

Its not $900, its $40...if you apply for the JetBlue AMEX card then you get a free roundtrip ticket. The card fee is $40 and I think you have to pay some taxes too. I believe the credit comes after two months and you have to spend a certain amount...like $500.

The direct flight for Jetblue is out of JFK which means you would have to fly to JFK. I think someone else reported another airline flies out of Florida. Which means you have to make it to JFK or Florida and then hook a flight to the DR.

My buddy just showed me priceline.com which is another avenue you should try. He rented a car somewhere for $11 in Florida using priceline. I dont know how it would be for flights, but I imagine you can get a better deal.

The La Passion bar is awesome because the bar moderates the ladies. If you have a problem with a ladie then there is someone you can complain to. So if they take your stuff, run out early or just give bad service then you can talk with someone about it. The ladies dont want to get kicked out so they probably behave...

I saw on the site where you can stay on site...the "Full Service" option for just 2500 or about 70 dollars.

Here is what you do. Fly to Orlando (MCO) and that will cost about $350 round-trip. Then it will probably cost another $200 for a round-trip ticket to the POP from there. So it should come to about $550.

American flies to POP from Miami.

Here is another alternative way to get to the POP.

Instead of flying to POP, fly to SDQ. Airline ticket round trip from LAX is about $300. Then catch a bus to the POP.

Distance between SDQ and POP is 215km and you will probably spend about 4 hours on the bus.
