Default Is the DR a good destination for single travelors?

In DR is it easy to meet other single travelors outside resort areas?In places like Santo domingo,Boca chica,Punta Cana or Puerto plata zone?
or is the DR not a good place for those traveling alone as it mainly attract honeymooners and families like many other caribean destinations??

Default It all depends...

For example, if you are staying as a single person at an "all inclusive" such as Jack Tar Puerto Plata (adults only), you will encounter other singles on holidays with whom you can hook up with. If you are staying at a "family oriented" resort, I would think it would be harder to meet up with singles since most people there would be families with children. If you want to stay away from the AI experience, a male friend of mine in his mid-30s rented a condo in Sosua last month for 3 weeks and had a fabulous time. He met many other Canadians and Americans that were travelling alone and they were all able to hook up when they wanted for dinner, outings, nights at the disco or whatever. The plus to travelling alone is being able to do what "you" want when you want and with whom you want. Meet so and so at the disco when you want or not... go to the beach when you want... have a hot Domicana sleep at your place when you want, etc. He also took a few days and went to Santo Domingo while still maintaing his room in Sosua. Good luck and have fun with whatever decision you make.

Get out of the fricking AI and see the world or in the case the rest of a beautiful country. If you want to see your own country men than have a big party in your back yard and save lots of money. DR is a great place you really will meet all kinds of people but you have to step outside the box and have some fun. People are friendly and helpful.

In that order. Stay away from AI's , your testicles will rot off from boredom and run (or roll) off into the sea. It has happened before.

Not vulgar, maybe slightly hyperbolic.

Time for some HUEVOS rancheros, then a little basketBALL on TV, and maybe some Planter's peaNUTS for a snack.

Default That will only be censored AFTER

He has come back from BC or Sosúa where, not using protection, he had a bunch of "adventures" and now his "nuts" are whithering and dying on the "stem", so to speak....

Forget Punta Cana. Think Sosúa or Boca Chica for all the ho's you can shake your "stick" at....
