It is exclusively for the gay and swinging community. The man's name is Arthur.

hey everyone,
thanks for all the advice. i dont know about that hotel though. we're not into the swinging thing. we also really dont need to go to places that are specifically "gay", not really why we are going to the DR. i was just a little concerned in when i read about some gay theater actor who was killed in the dominican republic a few years ago. i was just just curious how it was accepted in the area. unfortuneatly its something we gotta think about. but i guess i have no reason to worry too much. but we'll still be aware. but, you know how it is, everyone gets a little more "friendly" when they've been drinking

thanks for all the hotel info as well. do you think driving around to the different hotels is the best idea? im not sure i want to do that after traveling all day. i was thinking we could book one of them for a few days and if we didnt like it, we could just find another one. or even head to sosua for a few days. are hotels cheaper when you're down there then through there site...are their rates negotiable??
which house in casa blanca is better...the one by the ocean, or the other one? hows caribe surf and kaoba hotel???
once again, thanks for all your help.

Default Hi Smara

I like the most House I.

About the gay actor who was killed a few years ago, I think you are talking about dominican Jean Louis Jorge. If so, his murder has nothing to do with his sexual orientation, the killers were looking for money. In general, dominicans are not extremists.
