Default discos in punta cana

hi everyone:
Does anyone know the cover charges for the following discos?:
-Mangu (I believe it is $5, free for me last time because I stayed at the Flamenco)
-Arieto
-Pacha
-disco at Barcelo resorts (I hear it's $45 US - BRUTAL!)
-Hot Spot (ps where exactly is this disco located and is it safe to go there?)

Also, what nights of the week are best to go on for each disco?

Thanks!
LJ

Default tropicana

last year when we visited punta cana we went to a wonderful bar/disco called the tropicana. a friend we met there took us so i am not sure of the location but it is not far. it is located underground and is worth the visit! maybe some others here could give better details.. have fun!

thanks alot! did you have to pay a cover fee? I don't mind paying $5-$15 US, but I just want to know in advance because I am not going to take a taxi somewhere and then have to pay like $45US to get in somewhere...you know?

Thanks again!

hi Lynda,
the $45.- at the Barcelo is their nightpass, like the daypasses for the resorts on daytime, just for the nighthours with the disco (local drinks) and the connected snack bar(hot dogs/hamburgers) all inclusive.
others may charge you just a $5.- - $15.- bucks but there you pay each drink an other $5.-.

the Hot Spot is located in the middle of between the Plaza Barao and Friusa.
you've been at the Flamenco last time, so if you leave the flamenco straight on after 1 kilometer you see on your right side the Plaza Brisas, at the end of the Plaza Brisas you turn right,it is a stretchy sandy road, after 50 yards you see on the right side the sign "Hot Spot" and the entrance. from the flamenco/plaza bavaro 3 minutes in a taxi.

Mike

When I went to Mangu in July, me and my girlfriends paid $6 USD on a week night and $8 on the Saturday to get in and that included a drink.
