Boca Chica otra vez

I have previously stated I felt like Boca Chica was the armpit of the Dominican Republic but perhaps I have been too harsh. Since I depart and arrive in Santo Domingo because it is less expensive than arriving in Puerto Plata I might make Boca Chica a regular pit stop.

I can be a bit judgmental at times if I have a first bad impression. I realize sometimes you have to return to a person place or thing to see it with a different set of eyes so I returned to Boca Chica and I am glad I did. Below I listed my notes for your review.

El Batey- Calle Duarte

I like El Batey because of its location on Calle Duarte and it is a mix between civilians and working girls which adds a different flavor for me and forces me to step up my game because you have to be careful not to make the wrong approach. El Batey is no doubt one of the premier night spots for Boca Chica.
I like that you can sit inside or outside depending on your preference. In addition this is not only a place to hunt but a place you can take dates if you so desire.

Maximo Playa- Playa Boca Chica

Maximo Playa is a restaurant-bar-club that literally sits on the beach at the far west end of Playa Boca Chica. It is an open air venue and the restaurant includes comida tipica and different seafood dishes. Since it is on the beach there is a jet ski dock where you can see jet skis and boats pulling up to the restaurant.
They play Latin music and people can be seen dancing in the isles. When I was there I saw mostly couples and and families but I am told in the evenings there are some beautiful women who come out. It was a pleasant diversion from Calle Duarte.

Playboy Club (Green Bar) Calle Jose Pena Gomez

I went for a stroll on Calle Jose Pena Gomez north from Calle Duarte and found the Playboy Club. The Playboy Club is a casa de cita, where the girls sit outside watching the traffic go by. I went inside and the girls followed. There was a bar where the Mamasan also served as the bartender. I sat at the bar and the girls did their booty dance trying to get my attention on the dance floor in front of the bar.
There are rooms in house and the Mamasan told me it is 2500ST, 4000 for 2 hours and 5000 TLN. I didn’t negotiate but I got the feeling she would be flexible. There were 4 girls 1 was an 8 and my opinion flaca with a canela complexion and the others ranged between 6-7 and nothing to write home about. The Mamasan advised there are more chicas available.

Casa Iraisa Calle Juan Batista

Casa Iraisa is behind a steel sliding gate and when you walk in you enter a pool area. After arriving they ring the bell and about 12 chicas present themselves. Let me say this is no Crystals-Puerto Plata or Passions-Santiago if there was 1 “7” in the group they would have been doing well. The chicas were not high pressure like Crystals they were laid back.
The pool looked to be an ornament because it appeared to be unused. There was also a restaurant on site but no menu…REALLY?...go figure! The prices quoted were 2500ST 4000 for 2 hours and 5500TLN. Yayow advised el hefe came down to 1500ST.
There are rooms in house or you can take the chica out. Talent rotates so what is poor today might be better tomorrow.

Latin Quartest Discotque

The Latin Quartest Discotque is next to Casa Iraisa but not affiliated. The back door to the disco leads to the Casa Iraisa pool and restaurant. Apparently the chicas from Casa Iraisa are not permitted in the disco. Although we did not go inside it was early and the disco did not appear to have many patrons.

Paco’s Drink-Los Coquitos, Boca Chica

Paco’s Drink reminded me of the Dominican night clubs I visited in Esperanza, Mao, Bonao & Jarabacoa. It had a very Dominican feel and was nothing like Classicos or El Batey. Although I cannot be sure I didn’t get the impression anybody was working because I did not receive any “puta stares.” The music was Merengue, Bachata and Reggeton and although there was no dance floor people were dancing in-between their tables and chairs.
I met an absolutely sexy chica but when I hit her with my Spanish she looked at me and advised me she was from New York and she spoke English…can you say “BOOM!” Anyways she was on vacation visiting her sister and as leaving the following day.
The spot had quite a few men and couples but there appeared to be very few single ladies when I was there. I enjoyed this spot because it was very “Dominican” by that I mean everybody was tranquilo drinking, smoking hookah, dancing and just over all having a good time. This will probably be the highlight of my Boca Chica stay because it was good to get off Calle Duarte and experience some normalcy just like it is good to get off Pedro Clisante in Sosua.

Avenida 20 de Diciembre

Avenida 20 de Diciembre is around the corner from Duarte and not a far walk from El Batey. This is the street that the all-inclusive resort Be Live Hamaca is on. The below listed venues are on this street also.

KOTICE Night Club

This is primarily a Dominican spot with an in-door and outside section. The outside section has a bar with tables and chairs that face the street and they also have a restaurant. When I went is was very slow with maybe a half dozen couples.

BC

This is the night club for Be Live Hamaca and it is very large inside. There are 2 dancefloors and 2 bars. There are also tables and chairs along with couches. When I went is was almost empty.

Conclusion

Boca Chica is more than Calle Duarte there are other venues off Duarte that can provide potential, in addition just like there is more to Sosua than Pedro Clisante there is more to Boca Chica than Calle Duarte.
