Thumbs down Dominicanas not welcome at Mangu in PC?

Punta Cana forum: Very Bad Experience at MANGU....Please Read - TripAdvisor

"THEY KICKED HER OUT FOR BEING A DOMINICAN WOMAN!!!!!" vienemo

This looks so disgusting that it is hard to imagine.

There must be more to it than simply being a Dominicana, doesn't there?

If they have a problem with her, they shouldn't take the cash and let her in in the first place.

Default Could be...

But I have been to Mangu COUNTLESS times, with both local Dominicanas and Dominicanos...in the past 2 years and never, never, never had a problem....maybe she was a "working" girl...maybe...

No offence but I would seriously take things written on a travel website as reviewed by tourists with a grain of salt...people LOVE to exaggerate and get others all worked up!

Default Pigs Only

I have never been there.

But could it be that this disco is supposed to be a meeting place for sankies and gringa holiday prostitutes only?
If so, it makes sense that a decent Dominican girl is seen as to spoil the piggish business.
Very sad, but a pigsty is for pigs....

the thread on TA shows the facts. i know the guy, Sunscape Mike, in person and i know the girl. to kick her out been a big mistake, they made some enemies now.
by the way, every cocaine consuming junky is welcome, even if he does not by his own drinks.
there are better spots to hang out nearby

What's a gringa holiday prostitute???

I didn't know that gringas were prostituting themselves in the DR these days? Who's frequenting them??? Sankies?? Have the tables turned?

Indeed.
(The term holiday prostitute is used by sociologists in various studies.)
Whereas the typical sex tourist was a male and found in Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya, the Dominican Republic and Brasil nowadays women have caught up somehow.
Their favourite destinations in search for the 'big bamboo' are Jamaica, Bali, Kenya, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Brasil (among others).

Default Who am I????

DRloca....I think if you do a little research that I am far from being a tourist here...having spent my last 2 years working on the island from Puerto Plata to Punta Cana and points in between. Also very well travelled on the island, going places that many have never been...keeping a very open and forgiving mind. In my nearly 2000 posts on Trip Advisor will you find me saying anything remotely negative about the country or it´s people.

What happened on Saturday night was totally inexcusable and will not go down as one of the finer moments in my Dominican experience.

Based on the blatant actions of thier staff, I can only assume that they want to keep the MAN in Mangu. Perhaps that´s where they are headed...who knows. Fact is.....I will not endorse this location personally and my opinion carries a lot of influence down this way.

It´s one thing to remove someone from a premises for improper behavior, but this one mystifies me, as my friend was simply waiting to use the bathroom...while I stood for 10 minutes holding 2 beers.
I was informed by another guest that my friend was outside....she was in tears....embarassed by the whole episode...my arguments fell upon deaf ears when explaining that she was with me....my request to have my money refunded denied and all in all....and as a result...I will not endorse as I had ignorantly done before...this business that openly discriminates against Dominican women.

Regards

Mike

yeah 2leftfoot,
it was meant the other way.
gringa(on)holiday(looking for a)prostitute.
Janine, the women did not only have caught up somehow, if ever been behind, during my 13 years here on the island they've been the number one looking for their lover ahead of the men looking for the girlies, they just talk less about it, all the talkings moastly have the men as the theme watching out for prostitutes, you'll find the same quantity of women looking for the same.
they just in much more cases than men stay during the whole vacations with her big love, men are a bitmore flexibel, not always in big love right away, they spend the night and that's it, need an other night?, look for an other woman. of course there ar many men too staying in touch with the big love of their life, chatting by mail on daily bases, sending money/gifts on weekly bases, but that's more the normal way of our female visitors.
have fun
Mike
