Be prepared for the heat. The Dominican Republic is sub-tropical and warm all year. Expect a little sweat on your brow.
Prostitution is common in Sosua, so single men and men in groups should expect to be accosted by women offering "massages" and men offering girls. In general these individuals will not be overly aggressive, so if you keep walking and simply say "no thank you" there shouldn't be any problems. In bars, men will have lots of women vying for their attention - keep in mind that they are not smiling at you and grabbing at you because they are suddenly in love with you. For those looking for this sort of activity, you are probably already aware of the many risks and precautions that are necessary, but it is worth noting that AIDS is a specific concern with many of the local working girls.
