Guest Friendly Hotels in Boca Chica

Here you will find some answers to questions regarding Guest Friendly Hotels in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic.

What are Guest Friendly Hotels without a Joiner Fee in Boca Chica?

guestfriendly-hotels.com lets you know about hotels in Boca Chica that have confirmed that they are guest friendly.

In a guest friendly hotel in Boca Chica, you can take one or more Dominican women with you into your hotel room without additional costs or a joiner fee.

If you have met a Dominican girl, you do not want to be surprised negatively in the hotel if your hotel does not accept additional guests in your room or additional costs charged by the Joiner Fee.

Avoid unwanted surprises and make sure that your hotel in Boca Chica is a guest-friendly hotel and does not charge a joiner fee.

On guestfriendly-hotels.com you can find many guest friendly hotels without a Joiner Fee in Boca Chica and read the respective Joiner guidelines.

In any case, you should make sure that you reserve a guest-friendly hotel without a Joiner Fee in Boca Chica!

What you need to know about guest friendly hotels in Boca Chica!

The Dominican woman you want to take to your hotel room must hand in the ID card at the hotel reception.

All guests have to register at the Guest friendly Hotel when they want to enter your room. This is common practice in Boca Chica hotels. It serves your safety and the safety of your guest.

You should definitely check the ID card yourself for the age of your beauties of the night!
Under no circumstances should you rely on the statement of a girl you do not know that she is already 18 years old.

No matter how beautiful and interesting a girl is, if she doesn’t have an ID card, say goodbye to her!

Why aren't all hotels in Boca Chica Guest Friendly?

A lot of hotel owners in Boca Chica just don’t want bar girls, freelancers or massage girls to go in and out of their hotels.

Other hotels in Boca Chica tolerate it, but see the calculation of the joiner fee as an additional source of income.

If you bring a girl to these hotels, you have to expect to pay a joiner fee. Some hotels even go so far as to not allow visitors in the room at all!

This can be disappointing if you want to have a fun vacation as a quality tourist on Boca Chica.

Can several women be brought into the room?

Most guest-friendly hotels in Boca Chica allow a free guest in the hotel room.

An additional fee may be charged for an additional guest. On this point the joiner regulations of the hotels are slightly different.

The first girl is always free, and you will usually get breakfast in the hotel for the first guest!

Just check the guest friendly hotel lists that I have created.

You can read everything in the joiner guidelines of the respective hotel and be on the safe side before making your reservation!

Does the room have to be reserved for two people?

This makes perfect sense.

If someone is bothered by the fact that you want to take a visitor to your room, you can always point out that you have reserved the room for 2 people.

The prices are usually the same as a single booking. Check them when you make your reservation!

Regardless – the hotels listed on this page are all girlfriendly!

KSL Residence (3A)

It’s the greatest place to stay in Boca Chica: Kelvin’s apartments are super modern and squeaky clean. Apartment 3A offers 2 bedrooms (each with air conditioning), a huge living room with a fully equipped kitchen. The highlight, however, is the large balcony with the heated jacuzzi. There is nothing better than lying in the jacuzzi with a few chicas and then throwing some meat on the grill! Several washing machines and dryers are available. Apart from this luxurious accommodation, Kelvin, who also speaks English, is an extremely personable and helpful host. A pick-up from the airport is possible for 1k Peso. The price is more than reasonable for the comfort that is offered.

Another great apartment from Kelvin is on the roof of the house. It’s a little smaller than 3A, but even more modern. There are two separate bedrooms each with their own bathroom and air conditioning. A fully equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator, stove and all kinds of other kitchen appliances is integrated into the cozy living room. WiFi and free Netflix access are available. The highlight in this apartment is also the huge heated jacuzzi with sea views on the slightly smaller roof terrace, which cannot be overlooked. A grill is also available. Three washing machines with dryers are available in the laundry room. Personally, I prefer 3A because it is bigger and there is sun on the roof terrace – but 4A is just unbelievably great.

In contrast to other accommodations in Boca Chica you are offered an unbeatable price-performance ratio. The apartments are cleaned once a week or daily at an additional cost. However, towels and bed linen can be washed quickly in the laundry room (I always take a few detergent tablets with me), cleaning utensils are also available. All in all – perfect!

FAQs
Interesting facts for fun tourists

Here you can find some answers to questions regarding Boca Chica, Dominican Republic.

About Boca Chica: Small seaside resort with an interesting night life.

Vacation for quality tourists in Boca Chica is worth it! Much information about the Dominican Republic cannot be found online. What you can find doesn’t sound promising – probably for the reason that many expect a Pattaya or Angeles City in the Caribbean.

Despite a lot of not so positive reports about Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic, I was pleasantly surprised by the beach, nightlife and the women in Boca Chica.

Boca Chica is located on the Caribbean coast (south) of the Dominican Republic, 15 minutes away from Las Americas Airport (Santo Domingo). It is just under 30 km to the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.

Boca Chica is a small holiday resort that is characterized by the beautiful beach in the south of the Dominican Republic. The nightlife is manageable, it mainly takes place on Calle Duarte, which runs parallel to the beach. Anyone expecting the nightlife of Pattaya or Angeles City will be disappointed. Boca Chica offers a Caribbean nightlife – small but nice, more for relaxation. The rum is cheap and the many girls present in the Duarte in the evening are fiery and cheap. Everyone gets their money’s worth – maybe not the absolute party types, even if there are two discos.

y hotel without a Joiner Fee in Nosy Be!

Where to go in Boca Chica as a fun tourist?

Boca Chica isn’t very big. So the question is not where to stay in Boca Chica. Some accommodations are north of the motorway. These should be avoided due to the distances involved. It is best to stay close to the Duarte and the beach. The guest-friendly hotels I have listed are all in an ideal location for nightlife and the beach. In Boca Chica everything is within walking distance.

Is there a nightlife (bars, clubs) in Boca Chica?

The nightlife in Boca Chica (Dom Rep) is concentrated almost exclusively on Calle Duarte, the street that runs parallel to the beach. Which bars are the most popular probably changes from season to season. Where there is a good atmosphere, there you stay.

When the sun goes down, the party life shifts from the beach to Calle Duarte, which runs directly on the beach (see map). At 7 p.m. the street is closed to traffic every day. Then the restaurant and bar owners put tables and chairs on the street and the Duarte turns into a party mile at about 400m. Roughly there are around 25 bars & restaurants in the short street.

Piano bar
Is an open disco bar. Outside on the street people sit at tables, inside they dance. It is the meeting point for the ladies and tourists in the later evening. It’s always packed. The mood is exuberant. There is dancing to international and local music.

Amigos bar
An open bar at the beginning of the Duarte, which belongs to the German Günther. Accordingly, the German-speaking community meets there.

The Duarte is packed with people having dinner, having a drink or taking a stroll down the Duarte, especially in high season, listening to the sounds of merengue and bachata (two types of popular music in the Dominican Republic) let it work.

At 11 p.m., the two discos in the Duarte (free entry) and the disco in the Hamaca Hotel (entry 300 Peso including drinks) open. Most of the hookers can then also be found from midnight in the local discos in the Duarte. A really cool feeling to watch the black beauties dance to Caribbean sounds!

Hamaca disco
For those who want a controlled atmosphere, the Hamaca Hotel has its own disco. Entry is free for all-inclusive guests, otherwise you pay an entry of 300 pesos. Entry includes all local drinks. The location is a typical carpet, chrome and mirror disco with a modern light and sound system. The music is international, there is hardly any Caribbean feeling. There is no specific dress code, but men have to wear long trousers. When the disco is really full in the high season, access is restricted to hotel guests. The Hamaca Disco is one of the most modern locations for the Boca Chica nightlife. A few local chicas are always looking for wealthy customers in the disco, provided they can afford to enter. Most of the time, however, they wait in front of the door and ask you if you can take them to the disco to spend the evening with you.
It wasn’t my taste, I can also have large discos in DACH. The Caribbean feeling in the local discos is far better, however, to preheat the Hamaca Disco is unbeatably cheap.

El Batey disco
About 50 meters after the beginning of the Calle Duarte is the disco “El Batey”. The disco opens at 10 p.m. and after midnight the disco is the perfect place to bring Boca Chica to a boil. Young Caribbean beauties come there every night to party, drink, dance and find a friend for one night. Most of the chicas are really very attractive. It’s the perfect place to end the day in Boca Chica or to turn night into day. Getting in touch with the girls is not a big problem. Most of the girls stand at the bar of the open air disco and wait for you to invite them over for a drink.
There are no elaborate laser shows and high-tech sounds here. Instead there is Caribbean flair with the sounds of merengue and bachata, hot chicas and cool cocktails.

There are no special prices in the bars. The girls are not employees of the bars, but freelancers and therefore normal guests. Therefore there are neither barfins nor ladydrinks.


How much is the fun in Boca Chica?

Short time:
1500 to 2000 pesos are usually accepted by the professionals in the bars. Some chicas also accept 1000 pesos for a really quick number.

Long time
The usual rate is 2500 to 3000 Peso for an overnight stay. Correspondingly more for a 24-hour accompaniment. Exact arrangements about the scope of services should be discussed in advance, otherwise it can happen that the Chica really only stays at LT to sleep and there is no more morning number.

Higher salary expectations should not be accepted and should not be paid. Always remember, whoever is willing to pay more will ruin the prices!

Are there street walkers in Boca Chica?

Are there street walkers in Boca Chica?

The entire Ave Duarte, in which the nightlife also takes place, is the territory of the street walkers. Some chicas stay in the street all day, during the day mainly at Colmado Desy (corner of Ave Duarte / Dominguez). The chicas often run along the beach in small groups. After sunset, more and more girls come from the surrounding villages, who walk up and down the street, sometimes going to this and sometimes that bar. But mainly they are on the Duarte.

What transport options are there in Boca Chica?

UBER works perfectly in Boca Chica!

From the airport to the hotel
Either let the hotel organize the transfer or order an UBER. The ride with Uber cost about 500 pesos. The waiting taxi mafia at the airport expects 3,000 pesos. This price can be traded down to 2000 Peso.

In Boca Chica
Motoconchos are the most common means of transport. Stand by the road, wave to a motorcyclist. The cost is 50 pesos for short distances within Boca Chica.
You can also order a car or motoconcho for short journeys through UBER.

Guaguas
Are small buses that go from the park in Boca Chica for 70 DOP to Santo Domingo (you need to change at the bus depot in Andres). There you can order an UBER to visit the Zona Colonial
There are also buses for 40 DOP to Juan Dolio (and on to San Pedro). The bus stop is opposite the petrol station on the motorway.

Is English spoken in Boca Chica?

No. It is an exception when an employee speaks a few words in English in a hotel. Perfect English is rarely spoken.

The even bigger exception is when a girl speaks English.

Spanish is spoken. It is therefore an advantage to be able to make something understandable in this language. The translator always helps in an emergency; you can get by without speaking Spanish. Many of the girls from Haiti also speak French

How much does food and drink cost in Boca Chica?

There are some good Italians in Boca Chica. In addition, Boca Chica actually has all the other cuisines: American, local, Chinese, Creole, kebab and European cuisine. In one of the restaurants in the Duarte you can get full for 5 to 10 €.

big beer in a bar – 80 to 120 DOP
small glass of red wine – from 200 DOP
Cocktails / mixed drink – 150 DOP
1 liter Coca-Cola in the supermarket – 150 DOP
1 liter Presidente beer in the supermarket – 300 DOP

What is the health care like in Boca Chica?

There is no way health care can be compared to that of the West. There is a small state hospital in Boca Chica, but it cannot stand up to a western one.

If you have a serious medical problem, go to a private hospital in Santo Domingo. Good international health insurance should be a must.

There are a few pharmacies in Boca Chica that sell common medicines, including: also the little helpers. Medicines that require a prescription here can be bought there without a prescription.

Is there a beach in Boca Chica?

Boca Chica Beach is unique. The Caribbean Sea forms a huge bay in front of Boca Chica, with a natural reef in front of it about 300 m away. The reef stretches the entire length of the beach, from Boca Chica to San Andres. This reef creates a large bathtub with an average depth of 2-3 meters. The reef acts like a natural wall to keep the waves of the Caribbean Sea off. So the water in front of Boca Chica is always crystal clear and smooth as glass. This “swimming pool in the sea” always offers new, different views. Sometimes the sea shimmers deep blue, in other light again turquoise to green. Really gorgeous!

This naturally calm, clear, and shallow water is ideal for all types of water sports and swimming. There are paddle boats to rent kayaks. Water skiing, banana boats and jet skis are also available.

The beach itself is not that nice. Sometimes the sand is very hard and varies in width between 10 and 100 meters. A lot of sand has been removed in recent years. You can easily find a place on the beach either under a palm tree on your own towel and you can borrow a deck chair.

What is there to see in Boca Chica?

There is nothing to see in Boca Chica.

Day trips to Santo Domingo (Zona Colonial), the islands of Saona and Catalina and the “Salto de Limon” waterfalls are definitely recommended trips. These activities can be booked through local travel agencies.

A trip to the neighboring beach of Juan Dolio is also highly recommended. This can be organized on your own with UBER (approx. 500 Peso). The beach there is far more attractive than the beach in Boca Chica.

Is there cellular in Boca Chica?

The cellular network for telephone and internet is well-developed in the cities and pretty fast. The area code for the Dominican Republic is +1.

The best thing to do is to buy an Orange SIM card when you arrive at the airport. An orange shop is located in the arrivals’ area. Book an internet package of your choice. The staff usually set everything up. The SIM card costs 300 Peso plus the Internet package.

There is another orange shop in the Duarte. There is also a fair amount of English spoken there.

You need your passport to purchase the SIM card.

Is there crime and rip-off in Boca Chica?

Definitely yes!

crime

There are repeated reports of attacks on tourists in the dark. In the evening and at night, the Duarte should also be left for a short distance by Motoconcho (50 DOP). Likewise, a walk on the beach at night should be avoided. Attacks often take place with threats of violence. Knives and firearms are mostly accompanying deeds. The inhibition threshold to use weapons is very low.

Valuables should be returned without resistance. As in many travel countries, the following applies: Do not carry jewelry, expensive watches, credit cards or large amounts of cash with you.

The use of knockout drops is common. In bars, drinks are only opened at the table. With a Chica in the room, open drinks should not be left unobserved and drunk later.

A Chica that doesn’t have an ID card has something to hide. Even if the ID is not checked in your hotel / apartment, do not take it with you. Something is going to be wrong with her and there is almost certainly stress going on.

Rip off on the beach

Many smugglers wait all day in the Duarte and on the beach to bring the newbie to “their” beach bar. It often happens that higher prices are then demanded, e.g. E.g. for 1 beer 50 US $, because fees are charged for the use of the table and chair. If you refuse to pay, you will be surrounded by many men in no time. Before you sit down at one of the smaller beach bars, you should first be shown the map.
