Punta Cana for single guys??

[titanjones]

Im going to punta cana with my friend and stayin at the Moon Palace AI. I have reservations there for a 1 weeks stay from Jan 12-18. I was doing some reading and found that the place if for the newly weds and newly deads...ack! Im a little worried and am debating on canceling the plans and shacking up in some cheaper hotel in Cabarete or Sosua where the apparently is a great night life, and plenty of girls. Should I keep my arrangements in Punta Cana or should I try to explore cabarete. I heard Caberete>Sosua

On a side note, I plan on spending a weekend in Santo Domingo before heading to Punta Cana, so ill at least have that experience.

Let me know your thoughts!

BRING YOUR TENT if you dont want to share your room with haitians workers.
rooms are not ready in moon palace. and wont be by jan2009.
change your reservation for Majestic Elegance. I was there last weekend. and by far is the best hotel for the money in punta cana. will be better in january.
night life in punta cana is much better than cabarete-sosua
with the opening of Webster Hall, plus Imagine Club, Mangu, Areito, huracan Cafe, among other clubs. punta cana has the best night life in the caribbean.

...just bring an extra $300 or so for the cabfare between these clubs! ...and expect to pay higher than US prices for drinks and food outside of the resort...

...I'm definitetly biased, and do like Punta Cana, but it is *not* the place most people would choose first for single guys looking to "party". SD or Cabarete/Sosua are a more logical choice.

Ive been to both. The difference is 98% of the girls you meet in Sosua will ask you for money no matter how much you think they "like" you. If thats your thing and you dont mind paying than Sosua is the place to go.

Dont be turned off by the all inclusives in Punta Cana. You would be surprised how many single women are in the resorts looking to have fun. The girls who work in the resort will also let you know where they hang out at after work too if you talk to them. The clubs are good too although there have alot of working girls in them.

here's a thought. resort workers live somewhere nearby and there should be some non-AI hotels also pretty cheap. get a room for the weekend then you can enjoy your AI and the locals.

you'd be surprised what goes on at AI's between workers and tourists. bring pesos and see what happens.

[tourist]

what does AI stand for?

[DavidZ]

all inclusive...referring to food and drinks....

I went to Punta Cana in June traveling from the US. The AI was a great place but I would not look forward to meeting single women.
I took a cab to Mangu. Great club, safe and women.
Try Higuey.
Agree, ask the females at the resort where they go out at.

totally agree David.
even that PC has it's hang out spots(i am not referring to Mangu, Webster Hall, Imagine or such BS, don't like that overprized 'not reasonable' stuff) the better party hangouts are on the northshore.
if you come to visit PC for partytime at the above mentioned clubs bring a luggage with $$ with ya, it is more expensive than you would await anything at home.
so for the cheap spot PC would be the wrong place.
Moon Palace?
i don't think they will open in january, at least not in Jan 2009.
will be at a good hangout spot in PC in around 1 hr,
a 100+lbs pork over charboil and unlimited drinks,
betya there will be girls around, lol.
happy holidays
Mike

Mangu sucks....full of working girls, and TONS of hatiaian guys running around. Guy to girl ratio sucked. for every girl (pro and non pro) there were like 3-4 hatiain guys pouncing on them. It was terrible
