Blackbeards Resort

[Charles Pooter]

I've seen a lot of info about people staying at BB for a few days for fun but what is the procedure if you want to visit BB during the day for fun and don't want to stay overnight?Why would you want to do that? You are adept at prowling the backstreets of Tijuana (which I would not dare do) so you do not need to pay a premium for chicas and rooms. Don't get me wrong, Blackbeards is great for some mongers. It got me started in this country, but once it had done so I have not gone back.

Do you remember Loveras House? Was it a few minutes walk from Parque Central and the cathedral? If so, I might know it after all. Frank's former mamasan started a little casa a few yards from Ana Mirian once she and Frank were "evicted", using Frank's former chicas. I have not been there for ten years. Would be amused to know she is still battling on.

No doubt this was said by someone that had never been to Rio.

In the DR I have mongered mostly in Sosua, but want to spend a few days at Blackbeards this time. Trying to decide if I am going to stay a few days over the weekend or during the week. The Bikini Contest seems interesting, and I suspect their is a livelier atmosphere overall on weekends. On the other hand, maybe it's slower starting on Sunday and easier to book the most attractive chicas? Also, I hear some of the Bikini Contest participants may come from off campus. Is this true, and if so are the available after the contest. Finally, is the Bikini Contest a "can't miss" event or overrated?

Thanks for any comparison on weekday stay vs weekend stay.

The Bikini Contest seems interesting, and I suspect their is a livelier atmosphere overall on weekends. Also, I hear some of the Bikini Contest participants may come from off campus. Is this true, and if so are the available after the contest. Finally, is the Bikini Contest a "can't miss" event or overrated?Seeing that none of the chicks live at the hotel, they all come from off campus and are there to earn something. Not sure what bearing that would have on anything. They are all probably new to you so what would it matter? They are all hookers so you are not breaking any new ground.

As far as the bikini contest it is no big deal. Just a few chicks lined up in front of the pool for a couple hours and 3 guys as judges. Some jump in the water and some don't. Nothing to plan a trip around. You can stay in Sosua as you normally do then go to BB for the contest then head back to Sosua after.

Again, all BB is is a hotel with hookers hanging around. For some reason people have a picture that it is more than this.

Thanks for any comparison on weekday stay vs weekend stay.Like said, all the BB bikini girls are regular BB girls that work there. The contest is kind of boring as it is stretched out for a couple hours. Weekends are definitely better as the upstairs crows nest (disco) is open Thurs, Fri, Sat nights for events. Check out the BB website for their calendar of events.

Thanks for any comparison on weekday stay vs weekend stay.The posts in response to these questions are accurate. The bikini contest is entertaining if you have nothing else going on. The girls strut as in any contest, with the addition of raunchy stunts with the judges (lap dances, face straddling, etc) to earn extra points. Good opportunity to scout out talent, as in addition to the contestants, lots of off duty BB girls come in to watch the contest. You can scope out lots of chicas for future meetings. When staying at the hotel, it was not my favorite time, as all available girls were caught up participating or watching the event, so none available for play. Unless its changed, the contests were on Saturdays, not Sundays.

Its worth a look, for scouting purposes, somewhat entertaining for an afternoon.

The slowest days are Sunday thru Thursday, though there are girls on site everyday. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, this can actually be good. You can check out their photos and have a girl called in if you allow some time for that.

Friday and Saturday nights have events up in the second floor "disco. " Lots of girls in scanty outfits, contests, etc. Keep in mind that on the weekends, there is also increased demand, and you can't wait too long if a particular girl appeals to you or someone else will beat you to it.

Suggest going online to get their free newsletter. It published pics and a calendar of events.

Thanks for any comparison on weekday stay vs weekend stay.I think this has been answered, but the girls are all from BB's. I have been there twice on Sunday, I is a good way to kill an hour or two, but I wouldn't say it is can't miss. If I happened to be there, I would definitely stay to watch. All the girls won't stay, but you will see many of them if you stay for a while. If you email BB, the will send you a photo list, I think this is photos from the bikini contest. Supposedly girls on duty, but you won't see all of them there at one time, if at all. But will give you an idea of some of the talent.

Thanks for any comparison on weekday stay vs weekend stay.Just as a follow up, I checked the events calendar on their newsletter, and they apparently have events throughout the week, ie, wet T shirt contests, pajama party, etc, though I have no experience with those. Highly recommend you get their free newsletter. It always has pics of bikini contest and other events. Would give you an idea of what to expect.

Suerte,

Would be amused to know she is still battling on.I just thought that I would switch it up on my next visit to POP since I have never been before. Yes Tijuana is a different animal but can be very fun without breaking the bank if you know how to work it.

I don't know the exact location of Loveras House but I am going to contact the driver I hired in Puerto Plata so that I can find out where it is. I will report back with my findings.

Hi,

I am planning the first time a trip to BB I would like to know if I can exchange Canadian dollars a Jenny's supermarket.

[Yanqui69]

Hi,

I am planning the first time a trip to BB I would like to know if I can exchange Canadian dollars a Jenny's supermarket.Though I have no personal experience in changing Canadian currency, I know that Costambar has an expat community, with a variety of nationalities. A lot of Canadians travel to the DR, so my best guess is that you would not have a problem.

Any Canucks with something to contribute?

[DominicanPete]

Hi,

I am planning the first time a trip to BB I would like to know if I can exchange Canadian dollars a Jenny's supermarket.You will have no problem.

When are you going? Just had to postpone my trip for the end of June and am rescheduling for later in the summer.

[HappyShiva]

I need La Pela pills from DR. Humble Requests to monger brothers that are visiting BB. If you can please bring me 10 to 20 La Pela pills from DR Pharmacy, I would really appreciate that. It cost like $1 for a pill. I will send you money by paypal or any other means. I live in NJ and I can meet you and pick up the pills and pay you or you can send me by mail.

Thanks.

Thanks.Just my two cents, Shiva. Since La Pela is available everywhere in the DR, don't limit your request to BB and Costambar. I imagine there are a greater volume of mongers in Sosua, Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, etc. Anyone visiting the DR can assist you. If they have not already seen your post and contacted you, consider posting to an additional thread.

I mean seriously man. The person that undertakes this request has to be a moron.

Mr E, your comment is indeed sensible, but I think, maybe a bit excessive.

Yes, a prescription is the preferred way to go. That said, there may be reasons its not possible (insurance coverage refusal, high cost of prescription, etc, etc).

On the idea of smuggling, etc, I think many mongers return from trips to the DR with extra tabs of La Pela. If we are talking about a dozen or so, versus 100's, there should be no problem. Likewise, putting a dozen or so foil wrapped tablets (yes, yes, prescription medications) in the mail is technically wrong, but, in a practical sense, has negligible risk. Packaged in a bubble wrap envelope or small box with no return address, the risk is negligible. Additionally, the likelihood that the package would get any attention from the USPS is negligible.

I would bet that the number of mongers who contacted friends visiting the DR, asking them to "pick up a few for me" is huge.

To bring drugs into the USA: 1) It has to be in its original packaging, 2) You have to have a prescription for it. Even though one would face the same consequences, taking the risk for yourself is way different than taking the risk for a stranger from the internet.

[Hitman206]

I was at BB 10 days ago. I should have stayed 4 days and gone to Sosua for the remainder of my trip. This was my first trip to the DR. Initially I was going to meet a friend there but he was unable to make it. I should have done more research on this place. As Geolopes stated, it's in a gated community. They have a taxi mafia that will gouge you to take you anywhere. The Rat Bastards won't let Uber in too.

Some of the BB girls are on the chubby side. There were several Hot Babes. However, my issue with the BB girls: they're not GFE. If all you want is a fuk and a suk, It's the place. For the most part, they will not approach you. If they do, it's only to ask when you'll take them to your room. Only One BB chick was GFE: unfortunately I forgot her name. She's thick, big tits and ass.

A BB regular told me, before the girls where more active, like playing in the pool and doing things with the guests. Now they're just sitting around waiting, playing on their phones or sleeping..I was just there and thought 2 days was enough. The Romanian manager was trying to sell me on the fact that were were no problems with BB girls and Sosua was dangerous and the fact that you has to negotiate with the girls. Been there don't that. Sosua for now on for me. My hotel in Sosua took the girl's ID and called me to make sure everything was ok before releasing the girl.

[Charles Pooter]

The Romanian manager ...When did that happen?

[Husker Dude]

When did that happen?His name is Nicco, real friendly guy. He replaced Tim when he left. He formerly worked at Field of Dreams. I usually always get GFE at BB, but I've been there several times & know who to choose, but I've just been there once a year now since I discovered Medellin.

I have known Nicco very slightly for many years. Never knew he was Romanian, though.

[Yanqui69]

OK, thanks. I have known Nicco very slightly for many years. Never knew he was Romanian, though.I first met Nico a few years ago, at FOD, and thought they had Joe Pesci (Goodfellas) working the bar.

[Manizales911]

I first met Nico a few years ago, at FOD, and thought they had Joe Pesci (Goodfellas) working the bar.I've known Nico since the FOD days also, been to his barrio in Pto Pta partying and grabbing barrio chicas etc. ,a real fun guy and a good guy also. He used to drink on the job until one night him and I and the chicas killed off two bottles of Patron and the day shift found him sleeping behind the bar in the morning, Pedro threatened to fire him if he drank on the job ever again. When he gets drunk and he's drinking tequila he will squirt the lime juice into his eye and snort the salt, funniest shit I have ever seen.

[Coupe66]

Hey guys, I was thinking of coming to Blackbeards soon. Have been to the DR many times but never there. Can somebody please advise me, can you pay a chick there by hour to come to your room? What do they charge on average? Are they pretty liberal, PSE sex available? Do most do BBBJ? I read here that there are many curvy ladies, more so than on the newsletter photos then, because in my eyes they're pretty skinny! I'm into curvy, big tits and ass types, are there many like that there? What's the atmosphere like there during the day, can you just go and sunbathe by the pool and relax if you're not in the mood to monger, without anybody bothering you? Are the management easygoing? How's the food? Sorry for all the newbie quesitons, but would really appreciate your advice! .

[OzzyHead]

I'm thinking about heading there myself. I've seen their menus online, the food is reasonable, but I didn't see any drink prices listed. How much are their beers rum and cocktails? I'm also curious about the costs of the rides at the cabstand. How much is a typical ride into the main town, and Sousa? I'm trying to figure out a realistic budget to bring.

How's the food? Sorry for all the newbie quesitons, but would really appreciate your advice! .Last I saw it is 2100 p for 1-2 hours, and 3500 p TLN. There is a big variety of chica sizes there from skinny flack to big tits, curvy types. Usually about 6-10 chicas dayshift and 20-30 at night. Most are GFE. Mamasans can help you choose one & they have a chica book with pics and names & they may be able to call one in if you want her. The chicas will usually come up to you while laying around, but just tell them "no mas leche" soy tranquillo. " (Out of cum & just chilling) & they'll leave you alone. LOL Management is real easy going, Night manager Nicco is a blast. Food is pretty good as well as prices there for food & drinks. Someone else was asking Taxi to Sosua, around $50 US each way. Generally about 50 p /.

[OzzyHead]

Prove me wrong (it's why I'm here). Based on my research, BB seems like a no brainer. I'm currently trying to hash out the best week for me to go based on work and family obligations. For me, I want safety, reliability, additional tourist excursions, beach time and pussy on demand for a reasonable.

Price. I have yet to see a safer or better option. (As a total Newb to the DR, I'm very open to a better idea, but I'll need some serious logical convincing to steer me otherwise).

Isn't this what these forums are all.

About?

Price. I have yet to see a safer or better option. (As a total Newb to the DR, I'm very open to a better idea, but I'll need some serious logical convincing to steer me otherwise).

You ain't wrong. For a newbie, especially one with little or no Spanish, it is the best option. If you fall in love with the DR, as I did on my first visit there, you may want to spread your wings a bit on subsequent trips, but it is a great introduction.

A few qualifications;.

1) Although the girls are generally reliable there, they are human, most of them with financial, family or relationship pressures we can only guess at (and would very wise not to ask about). So not every session will turn out to be a winner. I guess out of every ten sessions, two may disappoint you. On the other hand, one may blow your mind. Which brings me to another point. Don't fall in love! It is so easy and many of the hardcore mongers here have done so in their early days. It will only end in tears (hers and yours, or just yours). And do not lose your cool over small pricing disagreements. Just put it down to experience.

2) There are, as far as I know, no haitianas there, so that is a new experience you can look forward to on a subsequent trip to the "real" DR. Just hard luck for now!

3) As stated, you will be paying a little more for everything for the convenience of having it "on a plate". Food, drink, sex, taxis and outings will all cost a bit more, but you should be protected from major rip-offs.

4) The swimming is not great next to Blackbeards. It is down-current from the sewage and industrial effluents of Puerto Plata City. Not many local gringos swim there. Dominicans yes, but they would swim in a septic tank. If you want a day on the beach there is a nice beach at Cofresi nearby. Puerto Plata city beaches along the Malecon are better than at Costambar, but still not a good choice.

5) Consider palling up with other guests. Could be chances to share taxi outings to Pto Pta, Sosua, Cabarete or wherever. Taxis charge by mileage, not by number of passengers so it can work out much cheaper than Blackbeard's posted outings.

6) I assume you do not speak Spanish? If you have time, try to learn the basic salutations and numbers. Also practice thinking in pesos (not dollars, euros, or whatever) now and ask for pricing in pesos once there to avoid rounding-up. If anyone quotes you something in dollars it usually means you will be paying "tourist" prices. For example, if something costs RD$850 they will probably ask you for "US$20", around RD$1000.

Have a great time and let us know how you get on.

If I were to want to indulge in a stimulant is it easy enough to come by it at BB's? Or without venturing too far afield?

[Husker Dude]

If I were to want to indulge in a stimulant is it easy enough to come by it at BB's? Or without venturing too far afield?Not that I know of. You probably need to venture into Sosua for that.

[Yanqui69]

If I were to want to indulge in a stimulant is it easy enough to come by it at BB's? Or without venturing too far afield?The hotel has had a strict policy prohibiting illicit substances on the premises. There's a lot of money invested in the place, and they will not put it at risk. Yes, ask around in Sosua, etc, but keep it off the premises at BB.

[Bliadun]

In some countries, it may lead to a jail time or a bribe.

If I were to want to indulge in a stimulant is it easy enough to come by it at BB's? Or without venturing too far afield?To beat this dead horse a little more, there are posters on the board who indulge in stuff like weed, but again, doing so in a Third World country like this may not be worth the potential penalties. I suggest you solicit private input via Personal Messaging, and they can tell you how they manage it. Try the Sosua thread, in particular.

[Monsieur Hicks]

I will be in DR around Christmas and will stay at BB. I am a first timer so I think it will be perfect for me. I was wondering if one can take 2 girls to his room. If so, what can be expected?

[Charles Pooter]

I will be in DR around Christmas and will stay at BB. I am a first timer so I think it will be perfect for me. I was wondering if one can take 2 girls to his room. If so, what can be expected?You certainly can. No problem, apart from having to pay double. But if you take two straight girls they may work on you simultaneously* but not do anything to each other. Best select a bi-girl (mamasan will help) and let her select her partner.

*I said "may work on you simultaneously". They may also work on you in turn while the other fiddles with her smart phone. The other problem with two girls at once is it is harder to keep an eye on your stuff.

[Monsieur Hicks]

Thanks for the quick response!

I was wondering if there was an ATM machine close by, since everything needs to be paid in cash and the fact that I don't want to carry a significant amount when I arrive.

[Charles Pooter]

I was wondering if there was an ATM machine close by, since everything needs to be paid in cash and the fact that I don't want to carry a significant amount when I arrive.You can change dollars / euros into pesos at Wendy's "supermarket" (= mom & pop store) , which is just inside the entrance gate to Costambar. If you wish to do this as you first arrive, ask your taxi-driver to pause for a few minutes.

In my day the nearest ATM was at a garage on the highway. Not too convenient, and potentially dangerous after dark. I hope BB regulars can update this info?

[Mr Enternational]

You can change dollars / euros into pesos at Wendy's "supermarket" (= mom & pop store) , which is just inside the entrance gate to Costambar.Wendy bought Jenny's? Or did Jenny die and leave it to Wendy?

The name of the market is Jenny's and they now have an ATM outside.Yes, but Wendy sounds nicer. After all, mongers are little boys who never grow up.

Good news about the ATM.

[Monsieur Hicks]

Bb is quoting me 45 $ for airport pickup. Can I use Uber instead? If so what is the going rate?

Also, if I don't take BB's pickup, can a regular cab be negotiated down?

[Yanqui69]

The name of the market is Jenny's and they now have an ATM outside.I used to regularly change a few hundred dollars at a time at Jenny's. Always a very good exchange rate, too. Its just me, but I prefer to do so in private, in the office in back. I also used the opportunity to buy a few items, like bottles of water, etc, and left like any customer. Crime is not a problem in Costambar, but I dislike peeling out a few hundred dollars worth of pesos from an ATM in public view. But that's just my preference.

[Yanqui69]

Bb is quoting me 45 $ for airport pickup. Can I use Uber instead? If so what is the going rate?

Also, if I don't take BB's pickup, can a regular cab be negotiated down?I recently paid $35 US (+ tip) for a taxi fare from the POP airport to Cabarete. The distance to Costambar is comparable on the map. You might be able to negotiate a cab down to that from the airport. One of the expats living in the area may be able to provide you with a contact number for someone.

[Manizales911]

Bb is quoting me 45 $ for airport pickup. Can I use Uber instead? If so what is the going rate?

Also, if I don't take BB's pickup, can a regular cab be negotiated down?The taxi mafia isn't allowing Uber into the airport regularly yet, I wouldn't chance it. The most you are going to negotiate a taxi down to is $35. If 10 bucks is that important to you call Carlos, he might do it for $35 depending on on his schedule, his number is 829 918 1172.

[Ponderosa]

I am somewhat a veteran to the DR but I haven't been down for a couple years. I am used to flying in and buying the $10 tourist card before customs only to hand it to someone right after passing thru. I read somewhere it is now part of the airline ticket fees. Is this correct? I would feel stupid looking where to buy it if things have changed. Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW shout out to my homies who remember me back when I used to travel there and post here regularly. Thanks again.

P.I just checked Delta into STI and the tax is included. I have read that this is for all flights now.

[Ponderosa]

Thanks. I looked on my ticket in the small print it shows up like your example. I always thought that it was so stupid to get in line for the tourist card, go through the customs line only to hand over the tourist card 2 minutes later to somebody. It just made arriving more difficultand time consuming.

I'm flying into SDQ and driving to the North Coast and it is one less thing to worry about. Thanks.

You got your answer, so this is extra. I recently flew in / out of POP, and also looked around for the usual tourist card kiosk, but lacking that, went right into the line with my customs card. A new addition to the process was the photo taking of fingerprints at the customs booth, but that was very quick. Best of luck to you, and take care.

[Ponderosa]

Welcome back, homey.

....Best of luck to you, and take care.Good to hear from you Yanqui! Hope all is well.

Speaking of coordinates, I will be flying into SDQ from FLL on spirit this Thursday. Anyone heading to the North coast on the same flight, PM me. I would enjoy the company. I am going to BBs but if you are going Sosua way I can get you to the Publico in Puerto Plata.

This is how much I paid for trips from Costambar to POP airport.


Bb is quoting me 45 $ for airport pickup. Can I use Uber instead? If so what is the going rate?

Also, if I don't take BB's pickup, can a regular cab be negotiated down?

[Bliadun]

The problem with taxi mafia is only when you leave FROM Costambar, not when you arrive. These assholes charge you DOP 2,000 instead of DOP 500-550!

I would recommend sending the following message to the driver-When you enter to Costambar if asked by the guards at the gate where are you going, just tell them that you picking up a friend, do not mention Uber. Cuando ingrese a Costambar si los guardias le piden a la puerta a dónde va, solo dígales que está recogiendo a un amigo, no mencione a Uber.


The taxi mafia isn't allowing Uber into the airport regularly yet, I wouldn't chance it. The most you are going to negotiate a taxi down to is $35. If 10 bucks is that important to you call Carlos, he might do it for $35 depending on on his schedule, his number is 829 918 1172.

My cousin was leaving Blackbeard's for the airport and the rest of our friends were leaving on the same exact plane. They had arranged a van to take them that was not affiliated with BB or the mafia, so he was going to hitch a ride with them. But one of those taximob SOB's sat and waited for the very moment they left to say that they had too many people in the vehicle, and that someone would have to take him. I had some choice words for that SOB, since I wasn't leaving and thought that it was none of his fuckin business about who was riding along, but he was persistent and my cousin ended up caving to his demands, but there's no fuckin way I would let him snatch me from a ride I had already arranged.

Hello to all,

I have been reading the board for some time but have not seen this posted (unless it was sometime ago) but what is the availability of male enhancers at BB?

Thanks.

[Bliadun]

If yes, there is a pharmacy across the street from Jenny supermarket near the main gates of Costambar. Generics are DOP 50 per pill, originals are about DOP 500.

Especially when they check Uber price. Let's try not to use the services of mobsters whenever possible.

Thanks.They sell them at the front office at BB's.

[Charles Pooter]

I would suggest BB for first timers. Only drawback is that the place becomes boring due to lack of activity and surroundings. You can have sex with 3 or 4 chicas but after the sex, you do not have too many options to entertain yourself unless you go to beach by yourself. I only stayed there once, on my first DR visit. I stayed two weeks and was never bored. I could happily have stayed another two.

True there is not much going on in Costambar but you can get to Puerto Plata city and back by publico for less than two dollars. For nervous newbies, I recommend doing this in the daylight when BB is quieter, and getting back before dark. I think the last "JC" publico to Costambar leaves the city about 5 pm but you would need to check as I have not done it for many years.


Make sure that you mingle with other gringos and entertain yourself with their company.
I met one American there and learned a lot about the DR and putas from him. Nice guy and I missed him when he left. But then I hooked up with another guest, a limey. Their company, the girls' company, and some time on my own made a nice balance, so never bored.

One advantage of mixing with other guests is that there may be opportunities to share taxis for outings. Three or four guys sharing a taxi works out real cheap.

[FirstDude]

Haven't been to BB's in two years and just saw some staff changes on their newsletter. Can any tell me if Mamasan Kristal is still there?

[Kozak]

So the last 5-6 times I have been to BB's I have rented a car for my trips (knock on wood no accidents and only day time driving). I wanted to ask is there a specific Publico or bus that goes from the airport to the road that leads down to BB's and then maybe walk the 2 k that it takes to get to BB's. Thanks.

The nearest would be the route "C" guagua which runs along the main highway. So you would have to walk to the highway from the airport and walk from the highway to Blackbeards. A lot of walking especially if warm or raining (and it is usually one or the other in the DR). To add insult to injury, the "C" guaguas are relatively infrequent (every 20 to 30 minutes) and incredibly slow. So I would forget that option.

I am a real tight-ass but I would bite the bullet and take a taxi from the airport if I had any sort of baggage.

A cheap option if nothing to carry: walk to the main highway (about half a mile). Catch a publico to the Hospital in Puerto Plata. Catch a "JC" publico to the main gate of Costambar. (The JCs run about every 20 to 30 minutes and cease around 6 pm). Then take a moto to Blackbeards. But even I would forget all that and take a taxi.

[Monsieur Hicks]

So I arrived Saturday night. It is my first time at BB and I surely can't complain. I do have to pace myself as I do not have as deep pockets as I would like to.

Nevertheless, I had the pleasure of meeting 4 women so far and here is my ranking.

1- Andy.

31 years old but looks a bit younger. Really aims to please and is no rush at all. A1 from start to finish. Gave me a nice massage after the action, which was quite pleasing.

2- Fresita.

19 years old with perhaps the greatest body of them all. Se can't be more than 100 pounds yet she has great breast. Also a pleaser but not as natural as Andy. Still very good all around.

3- Maria.

Chica del mes. I got her maybe 20 minutes after I got here. That would be 2 minutes after my shower! Very nice all around.

4- Nathaly.

22 years old with a prototypical spinner body. She was kinda sick but I still went for it since I would have dreamt about her body all night. She was not that much into it and had some restrictions (digits and DFK) so that was quite a turnoff. Her reactions seemed fake.

Certainly not a repeat.

2 days in I must say that BB delivers for the rookie monger that I am.

Thanks for taking the time to report. Rare to see them these days. The reviews are of value to potential mongers.I second that. Thanks M. Hicks.

[Monsieur Hicks]

Glad to see some interest. I will keep you posted.

Yesterday night I gave Shakira a shot. Mostly disappointing. She has a great body and says she has been at BB for a month. She does not speak a word of English, so it makes everything a bit more difficult. I do have some basics in Spanish but it is always nice to see the girl make some effort to bridge the gap.

Kissing did not seem her forte. She was quick to go for the the. BBBJ skills were OK but then I went for a 69. Hygiene was not to my liking there. She then insisted on doggy but you can again imagine the smell. So I was just trying to cum but was mostly turned off. So I removed the hat and asked for BJ. She had me finishing on myself.

As far as hygiene, that was a first on the trip. I licked the ass of all the other girls and it was a delight every time.

Certainly not a repeat.

[Colbert1]

About a year ago I found an incredible service which is similar to Supershuttle. It is www.tropiclink.net (Nexus Tours).

You are picked up at the airport and taken to BB for only $22 roundtrip. That is $11 one way! You reserve and pay online in the US before going.

Don't pay the outrageous BB taxi prices. Even though it is a shared van I have gone alone more than 70% of the time.

Please do not let the managers at BB know about this! And make sure to tip your driver at least 200 pesos.

The roundtrip looks sweet, but I will just need it on my POP arrival. But I would have liked to see how the return trip works out since the taxi mafia patrols BB's.

[Kozak]

Hi All, this is the age old battle that I deal with and that is CDN vs USD. I was wondering if anyone on the ground knew what the current rate was for CDN and USD from Jennys. I normally go to Jennys to change the cash and looking at some of the currency sites it seems that CDN is about 37.8 dop and USD is closer to 50 dop. Any info would be appreciated.

HI All, I will be skipping the rental this year and will be taking the Taxi. I wanted to know if anyone else is coming in on Jan 17 let me know maybe we can share a cab depending on the arrival times.

[OneTimeGuest]

Prove me wrong (it's why I'm here). Based on my research, BB seems like a no brainer. I'm currently trying to hash out the best week for me to go based on work and family obligations. For me, I want safety, reliability, additional tourist excursions, beach time and pussy on demand for a reasonable.

Price. I have yet to see a safer or better option. (As a total Newb to the DR, I'm very open to a better idea, but I'll need some serious logical convincing to steer me otherwise).It's probably a bit late for you, but I never gave a report of my own trip which may be helpful to some people. I went in early 2017 so some information may be out of date. I won't bother with rates, but you can't contact BB's before your trip and ask.

As a bit of an aside, a recent poster mentioned Andy. Great to hear that she's still there! Andy is a real sweetheart. I've been missing BB's lately and Andy would be almost at the top of my list if I ever get to return. I'm crap with names but she'd often pal around with another girl who would be top of my list. Sadly I only got to spend time with her once during my stay, though had a few sessions with Andy.

My trip started like a lot of people's; got there late at night and got immediately pounced on by a couple of the girls! I had a few hundred dollars on me so took one of the girls for short time. She gave a good BBBJ and I slept like a baby.

The next morning I went to Jenny's to exchange some Euro. They brought me into the back and asked me if I was okay with the rate before completing the transaction. I got a little less than the current exchange rate, but more than most exchange places were offering. Jenny's also has an ATM. When I was there the limit per card was 10,000 DOP, and it was frequently out of order. I suspect it just couldn't keep up with the demand and kept running out of cash. It's also convenient to get some things in the market. Toiletries (I had forgotten to pack mouthwash) or drinks and snacks (cheaper than the mini bar). It's also nice to get an ice cream while you're there! It's about a 15 minute slow walk to the market. You could get a moto to bring you, but I preferred the exercise and security is not an issue in Costambar. The only issue I did have was one time a couple of police officers stopped me to look for a "tip". I pretended to be a dumb foreigner who didn't speak Spanish (mostly true) or English. If the ATM is out of order you can get a taxi to an outside ATM for a small fee. If that happens there'll likely be other guests in the same predicament, so you might be able to share a cab.

I was there for two weeks, so boredom was a bit of a factor. You can't spend all day fucking! I did a lot of day trips with a local tour company called Iguana Mama, some of which they sub contracted to others. The highlight was the 21 waterfalls tour where you jump your way off waterfalls down a river. Great fun and almost worth the trip by itself! I did snorkelling, ATV riding, the city tour, etc. Some tours I got picked up or dropped off by the market or gate to Costambar for discretion, but some insisted on picking guests up at the hotel. Another aside here is if you do the city tour and visit the 'cigar factory', buy some juego mama there. There's vast differences between brands and my biggest regret is not buying more than two small bottles there.

It's good to get out of the resort during the day. There's less girls around during the day, and if you are worn out from the night before (like me! It can be annoying when they won't take no for an answer. They would never bother me too much, and go away when I said I'm too tired, but another girl would try within minutes, and the first girl would probably be back within an hour. You can't blame them really. They're there to make a living. I can't say that the ways they tried to convince me were all bad either. Mostly if I wasn't out on a day trip, I'd hang around the beach, get a taxi to the FixCi gym or hide in my room. The TV in my room played videos from by USB stick, so I was able to watch TV shows and movies I had saved without resorting to my tablet. The cable was also relatively good. I was able to watch the League Cup final in my room. Taxis charging the gringo price could be expensive on my own, but somebody will quickly hook you up with a local taxi driver who will do it cheaper. Hanging around the beach can be a good way to spend a lazy day or two as well. I met two guests at a beach bar / café one day and we ending up chatting for most of the day. The (many) beers and lunch we consumed during the day cost us $15 a head including tip. Of course if you're not worn out there's just as much fun to be had during the day. The same girls rotate and do the day shift so there's plenty of attractive women around during the day too.

The food at the resort is okay. I think the problem is supply chain and lack of quality ingredients rather than the chefs themselves. I always found even eating at expensive restaurants (eye watering by local standards) was underwhelming. Breakfast and especially the fruit plate was usually pretty good, and for price and convenience I wouldn't really knock the place for lunch / dinner. There's an Italian place around the corner that is better for an evening meal though (SoleMio), and some of the guests liked to get breakfast in Rick's Café.

I've gotten this far and hardly mentioned the girls! The answer is varied. Sometimes you get out of the experience what you put in, sometimes it depends on the girl themselves. Most of the time if the girl has been doing well lately she'll probably put minimum effort into everything, compared to a girl who hasn't had many customers lately. Sometimes if you have a girl you pick 3/4 times you get less and less effort every time, sometimes she learns what you like and it gets better every time. The best experience I had while I was there was after one of the Friday night parties. A lot of the girls love the parties and love to dance. If you're a good dancer you'll be popular with the girls. If like me you're a terrible dancer but make some effort to move a bit the girls will still appreciate the effort, and it's never bad to have lots of girls in tight outfits grinding on you! I spent a lot of time that night with another girl who would be high on my list (Yana) who I'd been with a couple of times before and that top-of-the-list girl whose name I can't remember and brought both back to my room for the night.

When you're there for two weeks you get to realise there's some infighting amongst the girls. Don't even try to get involved! They're competing amongst each other and some women just aren't going to get along with each other anyway, so just stay out of it. Not your problem. Another possible thing to avoid is when you're looking for two girls allowing the first girl to pick the second. This can be tricky. You want the girls to get along and don't want to pick two girls who hate each other, but sometimes the first girl will pick a friend who hasn't had many customers lately, who might not be top tier in terms of attractiveness. It might be better to suggest the second girl to the first and see her reaction.

I have to go soon so I'll try and finish off on a positive note. Enjoy the events! Go to all the parties in the Crow's Nest and don't miss the bikini contest if you're there at the time. I never got to see the wet t-shirt competitions and regret missing those, but I did get to be a judge for the bikini contest and it's something not to be missed! I've heard that lately the judges kick in some money to make the contest more enjoyable, so it must be even better now.

[DiavelLoco]

Reading all the reports in here, I'm really considering going to BB soon. Have been to the DR before but never to BB. I know many must have asked this before, is BB the best in DR? Looking at the rate they are offering, I can't find anything similar that can compete to BB.

[Marvin Hinton]

To Colbert1 or anyone else with first hand experience with this option. I'm scheduled for a visit in about a month. This option looks great. As I'm looking at the booking screen, just hoping to understand some nuances.

I'm up to the payment screen and it doesn't mention the name of the service (Nexus Tours or otherwise) or where the pick-up location at the airport is. Question: where / how does pick-up work at the airport? And on the flip side, where / how does pick-up on the return trip work?

Appreciate the guidance. Thanks!

Appreciate the guidance. Thanks!When you book, you will get an email with instructions. I will just give you my experience. I received an email after book with a confirmation and with some phone numbers and other information. Upon arrival, there would be someone from Nexus tours outside that would meet me outside the airport. When I did indeed arrive, there was someone with a big card with my name on it from Nexus tours that met me. I had a very early I in the am (4 am) arrival, so I ended up being the only one on the shuttle. I have yet to return, but I am to call 24-48 in advance of the return. $75 RT. I probably tipped $10 US since I was the only one, I think several suggested normally $5, which is likely what I would do if others on board.

Looking at the rate they are offering, I can't find anything similar that can compete to BB.What is "the best" is totally a matter of personal taste. If you are talking about other "resorts" with girls on site, for the price, yes, BB would win a vote.

The alternatives are very over-priced, and justify it with being "elite" or "exclusive. " Most would say, not worth the price.

The other alternative is trolling the bars and streets of Sosua. There are many who prefer that, as they enjoy the process of "fishing" for the next chica.

I was always too impatient and too lazy for that. Been there, but it simply wasn't my taste, and ultimately, that is who you have to please, - yourself.

[Marvin Hinton]

Boknerr & George03 - Appreciate the feedback.

George03 - A follow-up: the tropiclink payment page listed 22 USD RT consistent with what Colbert1 posted. You mentioned 75 USD RT. Did you use a different service / company? Thanks for the clarification!

I have been to the DR several times over the last couple years but I have always stayed at the all inclusive GFE resorts. Near Boca Chica or Juan Dolio. Some are too dang expensive. I am really considering my trip in March to try out BB's as well. Was wondering if anyone has ever had any problems getting picked up from the Airport by BB's? I read there are cheaper alternatives but I want to play it safe on my 1st trip there getting my feet wet. Do not want any trouble. Mi Espanol es mui poco. LOL.

Been doing a lot of reading on here, this forum is great! So glad I found it. I was really on the reserve about going but now I am sold. Going to be booking my trip soon!

One thing I have not found though. If you chose to have a girl for all night or (2 session) are the girls allowed to catch a buzz with you or possibly get a little tipsy (drunk). LOL.

Some of the other resorts I have stayed at really shyed away from this. They allowed the girls to drink but they could not get drunk.

Been doing a lot of reading on here, this forum is great! So glad I found it. I was really on the reserve about going but now I am sold. Going to be booking my trip soon!

One thing I have not found though. If you chose to have a girl for all night or (2 session) are the girls allowed to catch a buzz with you or possibly get a little tipsy (drunk). LOL.

Some of the other resorts I have stayed at really shyed away from this. They allowed the girls to drink but they could not get drunk.Since getting a chica out of a bar in Sosua has no limitations, I presume you are talking about an establishment like BB. I know of no restrictions on the girls drinking. (Anything like weed, however, is strictly prohibited on the premises). Can't imagine that anyone would object. Guys are constantly buying chicas a beer, etc. I often used to buy a large Presidente for a couple of girls to share at a table.

In fact, in the past, one chica preferred to toss back a couple of tequilas, to get really primed for a session with me. The girls don't exactly work FOR the hotel. They are technically not BB "employees. " They are technically freelancers, but have to comply with certain requirements and standards of conduct to be allowed to ply their trade on site.

One word, though. You might have a good time with a slightly buzzed chica, but not a drunk chica. You can never know what effect too much alcohol will have on someone. Can open the flood gates to a lot of unwanted drama.

You might have a good time with a slightly buzzed chica, but not a drunk chica. You can never know what effect too much alcohol will have on someone. Can open the flood gates to a lot of unwanted drama.Absolutely. While the chicas necessarily put on a happy face, they mostly have all sorts of personal problems arising from poverty, and the poor standards of health and education in the country, abusive partners or family members, etc. Plus very few are really comfortable deep down with being working girls. This is rarely a problem as they do a professional job, but if drunk their restraints are lowered and they can blow their top for trivial reasons, and if you too are drunk you may not respond in the wisest way.

Obviously less of a danger at Blackbeards, but it has happened there.

I always wonder why guys drink to excess here. They can do that in their own countries, but they cannot normally find girls at DR prices.

Point well taken, ha, Definitely do not need any of that unwanted drama. Probably not a good idea for either to be drunk. LOL. Buzz is good.

I personally am not a heavy drinker mostly a social drinker but it is nice when you do drink if they could drink a little with you. Thanks again for every ones feedback. Much appreciated!

This is going to be a great trip!

[Bliadun]

Unless chica will become aggressive it's not a problem as hotel makes a huge chunk of its profits from booze sales. Just try to be careful, drunk chica can be a lot of fun or a total disappointment.

Once I took chica to the room from the bar without realizing she was very drunk and had one of the best wild sex experiences of my life. She almost broke my dick in the process, LOL. I have noticed a few bruises on different body parts only next morning.

Another time chica was drinking a lot at the disco and was funny as hell, but when we came back to the room and I went to the shower she fell asleep and I was not able to wake her up by any means, even by putting a few ice cubes from the refrigerator on her back LOL. Morning sex was pretty bad due to her hangover. She even tried to ask for payment for TLN, unsuccessfully of course.

After researching here and elsewhere, I decided to make my first trip to DR in June. Signed up for BB newsletter, Flight booked, reserved room at Blackbeards. Now waiting.

If anybody else planning to be at BB in June, hit me up. We can see if our dates line up.

This is going to be a great trip!Charles Pooter gave some additional reasons not to overdue the booze (you or the girl). They aren't working there because their lives are so perfect. Don't open that door. On your part, getting drunk is a mistake (as I know personally) as too much numbs the mind, senses, memory; all of which you want to keep. If I am drinking hard liquor, it robs me of the experience, and to a degree, my memory of the night before. Stick to the beer, and don't let any of your companions overdo it.

If you don't mind transporting it, before you leave, pick up some Brugal or Barcelo rum at Jenny's, to take home as a souvenir.

[Scctxs45]

Well my room has been reserved and my flight is booked. Now just the wait. LOL.

I took this past week and decided to read the entire thread of Blackbeards Resort on this forum. It was actually quite a good read and some really funny shit at times. LOL.

I wanted to thank everyone for your posts and responses it was a great help in deciding to come to BB for the first time. Like I said in my other post I have been to the DR several times but on the south end of the island. This will be my first trip to the north side. My day to day life is really busy and hectic so just looking for lots of lazy days, smoke some cigars, little freaky freaky, smoke some more and be bored. Little more freaky freaky. Hahaha.

Also looking forward to meeting some fellow mongers and maybe tagging along from time to time. This is usually the case anyway.

Being new and not being familiar with my surroundings I have decided to go safe use the BB shuttle and fork up the extra $10 for the taxi I figure what the hell it will not break the bank. My only concern is if immigration / customs take forever at the POP airport and the driver leaves me stranded like I read that happened to one guy. Also I will probably go ahead and make my first USD exchange at BB instead of Jenny's, again just because I am not familiar with the place. Unless someone arrives the same time I do and has been there before. I am hoping to make future exchanges at Jenny's once I am there during the week.

Honestly the only negative thing I read way back in the forum was when the one guy said he had some money stolen out of his safe in his room. That really surprised me. In all my travels I have never had this issue and never considered someone breaking into my safe. Additionally I always chica proof my room of course. But that made me think all kinds of shit like what kind of safes are there at Blackbeards. Combination, keyed Hmmmm. Anyway I am sure it is not an issue or others would have posted similar issues as well. Enough said! LOL.

Lastly regarding the shipmate prices I understand that the ST (1-2 Hrs) is now $2100 just as an example. 1.) Does it really last up to 2 hours? 2.) Should you really have to negotiate and or confirm that set price before you go to the room? Just wanted some clarification on that. 3.) Do you pay the Chica before the ST or after the ST? That was never stated either. Just curious because I do not want to get there and with my first Chica she tries to tell me it is more than 2100 after we finish!

I will also be posting my trip report upon my return in March as well.

I will also be posting my trip report upon my return in March as well.On the taxi, from the airport, I would not worry. Incoming Customs at POP are really not a problem at all. The only wild card is that a plane load of European tourists arrives at the same time, putting a mob of people in line with you. But hell, this is the DR, punctuality is not a law. I'd be surprised if the cabbie leaves you.

On money, I warn you that you will get a LOUSY exchange rate at the hotel. Do not change much money. Arriving by cab, you will pass through a gateway for Costambar, and just a few seconds down the road on your right is Jenny's. Hard to miss the only grocery store in sight. THAT is where you will get the best exchange rate. Either walk back later, after settling in, or just ask the cabbie to stop and wait (hell, you're paying for the ride). Once inside, just say "Quiero cambiar dinero. " (kee-yero cahmbyar dinero) and they'll direct you to the office in back. While there, buy yourself some bottles of water. (BB offers free coffee, but potable water is for sale).

Pay the girls AFTER your session.

I personally never had problems with the room safes. If you are really concerned, bring a small padlock (or two) and lock a small bag inside another locked suitcase. (Yes I KNOW someone could cut the bags, but there are reasonable limits). In theory, money could "disappear" from a safe, but with no signs of entry, it remains debatable. A damaged suitcase leaves no doubt, and I promise you, the cleaning ladies there are very unlikely to risk their income over a one time theft.

Again, I don't know the details of the other case, but I never had a problem with the room safes. (Any other veterans with room safe comments?

[Charles Pooter]

I will probably go ahead and make my first USD exchange at BB instead of Jenny's, again just because I am not familiar with the place. Do as you wish, but it would not be a problem. Costambar is a gated community. After the cab has slowed to go through the gate, Jenny's is a few yards further on your right-hand side. Easy to ask the driver to stop for two or three minutes while you change money.

[Husker Dude]

Easy to ask the driver to stop for two or three minutes while you change money.Yes, most drivers stop at Jennys just inside the gate no problem. You will need pesos to pay the chicas. I just got back Sunday from a week stay at BB. Jennys exchange rate which is the same as the banks, WU, etc. Was 50.2 p / On arrival at BB, you can pay in $ as it makes little difference. BB rate on check in is 50 p / but any cash exchanges or check out is 48 p / BB currently has the best roster I've seen there & I've been there for 7-8 years straight. Yes, ST is 2100 and TLN is 3500 p and you pay afterwards. If you want a full 2 hours specify it before taking a chica. They don't usually rush, but usually leave when you finish. Often times they will give you a nice massage afterwards too if you ask. I always bring my own lotion as well as lube and condoms. BBBJ is the norm at BB, sex is covered. Be sure to check out the beach nearby with all it's little restaurants, as well as Sol Mia nearby. I discovered a new restaurant just turn right of Sol Mia (coming from BB) about 1 block called Las Rocas. Excellent meals! Small menu, but imported steaks, best I've had in the DR for only 700 p. In my opinion standout chicas include China, Endi, Anise, Valeria, Yahaira, Naomi, Freshita, Karina,. If you need any meds, there is a pharmacy right across the street from Jennys where you can get Dick Meds, or antibiotics to bring back to the US. They have excellent prices there. & the lady speaks english. Info for others, former chica Hilda is the new mamasan. She and Krystal are now the 2 mamasans, & (both are available). If you need help picking a girl, they are there to help. There is also a chica book at the main desk you can ask for where they have pics and names of most of the chicas there. New day manager Robin is a blast and very helpful as is Nicco the night manager. They can't recommend chicas, but they can help answer any other questions. Have a fantastic trip.

[Charles Pooter]

Solid information for newbies to Barba Negra. Prices and specific chicas' names lay it all out for newbies. Great post.

[Charles Pooter]

ST is 2100 pesos and TLN is 3500 pesosThe US dollar mid-rate is now 50.5. Ten years ago it was 30.5.

Ten years ago Barba Negra prices were 1300 short-time and 1800 all night.

That means their prices remain, as near as dammit, unchanged in dollar terms from ten years ago.

Very fair and sound business practice if you ask me.

Sosua free-lance prices vary a lot more but overall I think the same holds true. Unchanged on average from ten years ago.

[George03]

Boknerr & George03 - Appreciate the feedback.

George03 - A follow-up: the tropiclink payment page listed 22 USD RT consistent with what Colbert1 posted. You mentioned 75 USD RT. Did you use a different service / company? Thanks for the clarification!Hmm, yes, I used the link. When I entered pickup and drop off destinations, $75 was the fee. I just tried it again, same result. Anyway, it worked well for me. I was the only one on the bus, very late arrivals and departures. Wifi on the bus, driver drove like a bat out of hell. I think at BB, arranged taxi is $90 US each way, so $75 rt is a great deal, but would like to find the $22 fare!

[Bliadun]

Is it for POP or STI airport?

[Lakeside32]

Just used it days ago!! Thanks 2 the guy who discovered it. Make sure you pick the right airport and destination in the drop down menu and then I used PayPal as payment, $15 one way POP To Blackbeard's, I even gave the TaxiMafia a big "fuck you" wave as we drove by.

On your return trip, would like to know how punctual the pick up is / was.

I would be a bit nervous about making an airline connection, dependent on the punctuality / reliability of a DR service provider.

Thanks.

Thanks.The driver was waiting for me when I walked out of the room, ten minutes before the scheduled time. So, it worked for me!

[Andyk8254]

I will be there June 10th thru 17th.I will be there 23rd to 26th. Please post your trip report.

[HappyShiva]

I usually fly to Santiago, take a taxi and go to bus terminal. I catch Caribe tours bus for puerto plata for 150 pesos and in 1 hour I am in Puerto Plata. From bus terminal I take a taxi for 500 pesos.

[NahkMD]

Read my SDQ post, 1st time doing something like this so hence the detail. BB Day 2: So from the Caribe bus terminal in SD to PP. The bus is not to cold not to hot. They are playing some old cowboy movie with John Wayne on the bus TV LOL. So the bus makes some stops along the way, I just google Caribe bus stop Puerto Plata and made sure my GPS was showing me the right spot so I know where to get off. I arrive in Puerto Plata. It was a 3 HR 30 min drive. Not bad. Wish I bought some snacks tho. From the terminal I call an Uber, there was only 3 in Puerto Plata at the time (around 130 pm). So again I text the Uber driver, tell him in waiting at the bus stop and what I'm wearing and to honk when he arrives. He gets here. I put my stuff in the trunk and off to BB. So my Uber driver, Stanly, spoke a little English and I was talking to him about how its my first time here and shit. I told him Barba Negra and he's like "ohh yea, chicas" LOL guess he knew Whats up. When we arrive at the gate of Costambar they let him in, the gate security people seem to know him caz they were chatting a bit. I know the taxis inside Cosambar charge gringo prices so I ask Stanly if I paid him can he drive me to certain places in Puerto Plata. He's like yea. Sweet, I took his number down and I told him I'm contact him on Whatsapp to take me to Sosua and like the Metro cables tomorrow. He's like okay no problem. To Sosua he charged me 1000 pesos. To Metro cables 200 pesos. On the Uber app it said it was going to cost me from the front Costambar to Sosua about 700 pesos so I thought shit 1000 is not bad. Anyways we get to the entrance of BB.

The place is very open doors. Like no gates or nothing. I take my stuff out the trunk and say I'll contact him tomorrow. Now I'm walking in and I hear music playing and see some guys sitting in front of the bar drinking Presidentes and the Chicas who are sitting on the pool side seats next to the bar, some sitting across the bar, just all over the place. I see these hot looking girls just chilling. I walk in and ask one of the ladies where to check in, she says there's a reception table next to the billiards table. Go there and I meet the day time manager, Robin. He introduces himself to me and tells me that rooms not ready yet, maybe in half an hour. Ight np. I ask him if its possible to stay tomorrow too but he tells me no all the rooms are booked (its Saturday tmm). I pay him for my room. I got the Deluxe Single which was $60 USD but with tax and it came out to be $70 USD. I leave my luggage inside the reception room and Robin shows me around the place. I never been here so no clue about its layout. When its your first time you feel kinda uncomfortable, at least I did. Chica price short time: 2100 pesos, 1 cum, 1-2 hrs got to talk with chica about how long to stay. Long time is 3500 pesos and its from 9 pm to what's agreed upon by chica and you+mamasan. All night from 6 pm till the next day is 5500 pesos (it says 3 sessions, but that's too short IMO, probably should ask Chica how many nuts you want to be safe). Anyways after he shows me around, I just leave BB and go for a walk to see the beach. Costambar is pretty much empty / quite area. I've seen mainly old foreigners in here. The weather here is awesome. DR reminds me of my home country. Anyways get to the beach, its alright, there's a lot of seaweed here. Not a whole lot of people on the beach. I see people sitting in the small shop drinking beer. It's a very relaxed beach. Very windy. Not much vendors on this beach. I walk the strip and just take in the view. I see a tennis court there but no one was in it. There doesn't seem to be much to do around here, like activities wise and shit. I just walk and take in the view. Anyways I leave the beach and heard back to BB. Its around 230 pm. I ask if rooms ready, nope not yet. Okay I leave BB again. I go to walk around the neighborhood. I went to look for some of the restaurants that people mentioned on the forums. I went looking for Las Rocas. It find it but there's a lock on the entrance. I ask some old white guy I see if its open, he's like try the back. I go to the back and knock and its closed. Someone opens the door. I ask if they are open and they guy says "don't you see the lock in the front" I'm like yea but the old guy said to knock so I tried. The guys like yea we are closed, going to open at 5 pm. I'm like ight then I'll be back later. I find Pizzaria Solemio and Ricks Cafe which are both kinda near each other but they seem like they are closed. I'm thinking WTF is everything closed. I head back to BB. Room is still not ready. I ask if they are serving lunch and they are. So I go to the bar and I sit down and take a look at the menu. I sit next to a guy who I soon befriend whose name was Greg. I honestly forgot what I ordered. I'm sitting at the bar sipping on water (I don't drink alcohol) and just looking at the girls. My guy Greg is talking to the Chicas and he's having fun. Eventually me and him start to talk and introduce ourselves, we were both from the same State and nearby. He's been here many times and he knows like all the Chicas. He introduces the Chicas to me and one of the girls comes up and starts touching me all over and shit, asking if I want massage or "freaky freaky" LOL. I'm like I don't got a room yet, maybe later. Turns out couple of the people didn't have rooms yet. But I'm watching the girls talk with each other and dance and just sitting down eyeing people. Its actually amazing, that there are girls just dressed sexy and just waiting to be fucked LOL. There was a good amount of girls maybe 15-20 ish. They weren't all out at once, they kinda like rotate. Some leave to the back and then new ones come out. There were some hot chicas in BB. The really hot ones were already occupied with other guys. They had like every color / shape you can want. They had some sexy busty and fat ass Dominican to slender and big tits. No anorexic girls so if that's your thing, maybe go to Sosua. Anyways I get my food, eat and then leave again caz rooms not ready at 3 pm. I wanted to get some meds and exchange more money caz after I saw those chicas I'm like I want to fuck all of them LOL. So I start to make my way to Jenneys Supermarket. Again I see a lot of old white foreigners just doing their thing. I enter Jenneys and grab a big gallon of water, I'm tired of paying for a small bottle every time. I go to the register and ask the lady if they exchange money, she says yea and tells me to go to the back room. I go to the back and ask what's the rate. 1 USD=50.2 pesos. Okay, exchange 200 hundreds. I go across from Jenneys and get some meds from the pharmacy. The lady at the pharmacy speaks English. If you get meds, make sure you know the MG you want / need. I head back to BB and finally at 340 pm my room is ready.

I go up the stairs and notice there's another big bar up there but no ones there ATM. I go to my Deluxe room. Very nice room, huge bed, big TV with a good number of channels, bathroom is big as well. This was a great room. AC was perfect. No outside noise and shit. Bed was comfortable, towels were clean. Just overall BB was a very clean place. I settle in and decide I wanted to go to the pool. Quick rinse in the shower and head to the pool. I jump in and swim and look at the chicas and shit. I don't think they get in the water. Not sure if its their policy or W. E. I really wanted to one to come into the pool and fuck around LOL but that wasn't happening. I stay in the pool for like an hour just relaxing and at around 5 pm I see all these new Chicas come, this must be the shift change time. Holy shit the night time chicas are even hotter than the day time ones. I say fuck this and leave the pool and go up to shower and come back down so I can start making moves. I sit by the bar with my friend Greg and we're just talking, he's teasing the Chicas around. Since this is my first time doing some shit like this, Greg is trying to get me to out the shy zone and trying to hook me up with a chica. He ask what I like, I say I don't really have a preference as long as they got a nice face. I'm not sure how to approach this but I eventually start talking to them and getting the feel for things. I ask a couple of the girls if they do anal and everyone said no. The only one that did was Greg's girl but she's taken. Everyone is picking someone up and talking them and I'm just sitting here sipping on water LOL. But eventually this once chica start flashing her tits at me and I call her over. Her name was Bianca, think she was mid-late 20's but she had 2 kids. Anyway we talk, she doesn't speak English, and I ask her how much to stay for 2 hours and 2 milk, she says 3500 pesos. BB standard I guess. I was craving some so I had to make the move. I tell her my room number and she says okay I'll go get dressed and come. I go up to my hotel and wait for her. She comes in and says she going to shower. I didn't ask to shower with her, didn't think about it. She comes out naked with just towel around her waist. She has a pretty good body for someone with 2 kids. I shower after. I ask her to dictate the flow or get things started. So she turns on the TV and puts on the porn channel LOL. She's on the bed and starts kissing me and I do the same. Suck on her tits and soon after she gets the condom and puts it on and gives me a CBJ. She's sucking all over and it feels amazing. Soon after I go to DATY. I love to DATY so we did that for a while. After I went to fuck her and we did couple of different positions before I bust. We talk and shit and I get to connect with her a little more. We relax for a bit and I ask if she's ready for Round 2. Yea. Go for round 2 and I do pretty much the same stuff, make her cum from DATY and whatnot. I bust. She stays with me in bed for a while till the 2 hrs is up and I kiss her goodbye. She was great, didn't rush, did what I wanted. Sweet girl. I also got her Whatsapp.

After that I'm tired and hungry, its around 8 pm and I decide to go back outside an explore my food options and the beach again at night. I pull up to SoleMio and get a pizza. I wish they sold a slice caz that pizza serving was for like 2 people. I couldn't finish it. It was pretty much a pie LOL. It was good, lot of cheese, not like the NY ones who cheaps out on cheese. I took the rest to go. Back to BB. It's fucking lit in there, they got some fire songs playing, chicas dancing and shit, cool vibe right now. Maybe I just got over my nerves and can enjoy the atmosphere / environment. Its around 9 pm and people are just relaxing and having fun, think my man Greg is still going to town on the chica (s) he took up LOL. I'm sitting around enjoying myself but soon had to go back up to plan for my next day. I hit up Stanly and ask if he can still take me to Sosua tmm. He says yea. Do some research on Sosua and places to hit. Wi-Fi in BB was good. Soon I start hearing some loud ass music, where the fuck is it coming from? Turns out the top floor bar is now open. Its lit, they got chicas in sexy clothing dancing and shit. I see Bianca there drinking. Some chincas come up to me and ask if I want to fuck and shit, I'm like "no mas lecche". That disco or w. E its called was really cool, bunch of hot chicas. Soon after around 1030 I see this chica with big tits and I just get a full blow hard on seeing that and I call her over. Ask what's her name, she said Mcdonald, I ask her if she can stay for 1 hour till 1130 because I thought they go home after 11, she said sure I can. I'm like sweet, come to my room. She said give me a min and we go. I went to my room and realized I needed some new towels caz Bianca and I used up the ones that were available. I go downstairs to the reception and ring the bell but no one comes out. I then see a sign that says something like after 9 pm (or maybe 8 pm) that maid service and towels are not available. I'm not too sure what it said TBH But I couldn't get new towels, so I had to use the pair I bought. She comes to my room and she looks a little older than 26, she had blond hair and I guess in the dark she looked hotter. Anyways this time I wanted to shower with a chica so I ask her and she says sure. She takes her clothes off and her ass is nice and firm, pretty fat. We go in the shower and she see's my cock hard as a rock and she's like grinding on it between her cheeks and giving me a HJ. We mess around a bit in the shower and then dry off. I ask her if she wants the TV on or any songs, she tells me to play Romeo Santos-Imitadora. Side note, this guys voice probably makes girls cum. Get on the bed and she starts giving me a BBBJ, dam she can suck, she starts doing some different tongue motions and shit. After a while I go to DATY and she seemed to have loved it. On goes the condom and we get to fucking and I'm just playing with her big tits, which were fake BTW. McDonald's riding me so hard and I'm loving it (no pun intended). Its been like 20 min and no bust, I'm like hmm that's weird. I know I had two nuts before but I should have more, I'm only in my mid 20's! I'm hard but no cum. She rests for a but and say's "me no good?" I tell her No its not you it's me, I already had two leeches before this like 2 HR ago. We go back to fucking and still no nut, so I tell her to stop and just stay in the bed with me while I use my hand. I finally bust and she licks me clean. I still have like 20 min with her but it was getting late and I didn't want her to get home late. Which reminds me do these girls live on site in BB or do they go back to some place in Puerto Plata? Anyways she kisses me goodbye and that's my night. I clean up and go to sleep.

I wake up all happy and relaxed. Great sleep. Get towels and go shower and get breakfast. No girls are there early morning. I think they started coming in at like 930-10 am ish. I still have couple hours left but after yesterday night, I'm not looking for any early action, I want to do some activities. So I hit up Stanly and ask if he can come take me to the metro cables. He says yea. So I tell him to let me know when he's here. I go walk around. Stanly comes late due to traffic and takes me to the Metro cables and I take some pictures. It was really cool, wish I could have gone explore the top more but I was running late and had to leave to BB as check out was at 1 pm and it was already almost 1 pm. I call BB just to let them know I may be a little late checking out caz I'm at the Cables, Robin says no problem. Stanly drives me back to BB at like 130 pm and I checkout. I got charged 400 pesos, I did not ask why probably caz of the late check out. Make my way to Sosua.

So that's my 1 day full BB stay report. It was honestly awesome and I wish I could have stayed an extra day. BB is definitely the place to go to if your new to this whole thing and want to get your feet wet. When I went to Sosua, I was really glad I went to BB first to get a feel for the girls / people / environment that I will be interacting with. The girls in BB were fucking hot. Like better than a lot of the Sosua girls. And they did not play games and gave good service. They were not aggressive or pushy. Price was reasonable. The only thing about BB is that activities wise, not much to do unless you rent a car and go to Puerto Plata or you pay the taxi extortion fees LOL. If BB had more things to do for a reasonable price I would consider staying longer. I will definitely be back to BB next time, it was an amazing experience.

Read my SDQ post, 1st time doing something like this so hence the detail. BB Day 2: So from the Caribe bus terminal in SD to PP. The bus is not to cold not to hot. They are playing some old cowboy movie with John Wayne on the bus TV LOL. So the bus makes some stops along the way, I just google Caribe bus stop Puerto Plata and made sure my GPS was showing me the right spot so I know where to get off. I arrive in Puerto Plata. It was a 3 HR 30 min drive. Not bad. Wish I bought some snacks tho. From the terminal I call an Uber, there was only 3 in Puerto Plata at the time (around 130 pm). So again I text the Uber driver, tell him in waiting at the bus stop and what I'm wearing and to honk when he arrives. He gets here. I put my stuff in the trunk and off to BB. So my Uber driver, Stanly, spoke a little English and I was talking to him about how its my first time here and shit. I told him Barba Negra and he's like "ohh yea, chicas" LOL guess he knew Whats up. When we arrive at the gate of Costambar they let him in, the gate security people seem to know him caz they were chatting a bit. I know the taxis inside Cosambar charge gringo prices so I ask Stanly if I paid him can he drive me to certain places in Puerto Plata. He's like yea. Sweet, I took his number down and I told him I'm contact him on Whatsapp to take me to Sosua and like the Metro cables tomorrow. He's like okay no problem. To Sosua he charged me 1000 pesos. To Metro cables 200 pesos. On the Uber app it said it was going to cost me from the front Costambar to Sosua about 700 pesos so I thought shit 1000 is not bad. Anyways we get to the entrance of BB.Thanks for your report. Good to see the first impressions of a new visitor.

Regarding activities (if you really need outside activities) if one goes through the desk, BB can connect you with activities of different kinds run by excursion companies.

[Yanqui69]

Soon after around 1030 I see this chica with big tits and I just get a full blow hard on seeing that and I call her over. Ask what's her name, she said Mcdonald, I ask her if she can stay for 1 hour till 1130 because I thought they go home after 11, she said sure I can. I was trying to figure out "Mcdonald" since I can't imagine a chica giving herself that for a working name. Then I saw the latest BB newsletter and it became clear. The blonde chica is "Madonna. ".

[NahkMD]

[Yanqui69]

Yep your right, just saw the news letter and saw her in it. My bad.Don't worry about it. Not the first time anyone has misunderstood the name of a chica. Very good report. Muchas gracias.

[Marvin Hinton]

Much thanks to the reviews and guidance from those who plowed this path before. My observations from 2 weeks at BB.

1. Airport: POP is a small and easy airport. The 50 DOP / USD exchange rate makes transactions bilingually fluent. In fact, at the Bar Room where I had lunch, they were short on DOP and had to provide change in USD. Didn't touch the exchange booths at the airport. True anywhere you can do better on rates if you can hold off.

2. Transit: credit to Colbert1 for recommending Nexus Tours. 22 USD roundtrip. I had plenty of what-ifs running through my head but everything was smooth as can be. Both shuttles were well AC'd. 3 others on the shuttle going, me solo coming back so very comfortable. Out of the airport, it was even easier than looking for a guy in in orange shirt at the airport since they had a booth right outside the doors. My flight was delayed 2 hours but they didn't blink an eye. Greeter spoke great English. On the return, the driver was 10 minutes early and pick-up was directly in front of BB. The only hassle didn't have to do with Nexus Tours but figuring out how to use the phone card + BB house phone to confirm the reservation 24 hours ahead of my departure. Fortunately, the staff helped me on punching in the phone card procedures. Never had to touch a taxi.

3. Rooms: I went for the deluxe single. Comfortable. Big bed. Sure an occasional insect scurrying across the floor, but adjusted for expectations, nice set-up. Hot water takes a minute to work, but all's good. In-room safe felt secure. Not a lot of drawers for clothes, but I travel light. A minor thing is the mini fridge they have in the room roars to life occasionally disrupting sleep. Easily solved by unplugging the thing.

4. Pool & hot tub: plenty of lounge chairs to catch some sun without having to deal with the lounge chair renters on the beach. Didn't touch the pool or hot tub. Although the idea of the hot tub being a free for all makes me cringe at the idea of soaking in there.

5. Beach: nice span of beach. Every day plenty of people but not crowded. A number of restaurants and bars littered across the beach.

6. Restaurants: almost every restaurant's menu is standard fare burgers, pizza, pasta, and stuff you'd find an in American restaurant. Multiple people have recommended Pascuals, which I enjoyed. Only a couple of times have I seen Dominican specific dishes. Prices are probably on par with your average suburban restaurant in the US.

7. BB: nice set-up. Great people. Casual. Meals here are convenient and prices on par or slightly higher than outside. As expected, convenience items are more expensive. 150 DOP of generic Cialis can be bought for 100 DOP are the pharmacy, 100 DOP for a Gatorade is 50 DOP at Jenny's etc. A bottle of water here costs more than a gallon at Jenny's. Etc. Standard convenience premium.

8. Jenny's: nice stroll towards the gates. Has everything I needed. Exchange rate was a 50.20 DOP / USD throughout my stay. There's a bit of a side hustle for excursions into the city which I didn't delve too much into.

9. Los Mangos golf course: didn't partake in the golf, but did use their gym every day. 2 working treadmills that need some waxing and adjustments. Half a dozen circuit machines. 4 spinning bikes. A yoga studio. (surprisingly) flat / include bench press, but no squat rack. Mini pool outside. Always just walked in never accosted. Although occasionally there's a dude sitting in the front that looks like he's there to check ID.

10. Girls: wide selection, although pretty much the same ones every day. Some cluster and just chat amongst themselves, others are more proactive. I prefer smaller frames and enjoyed Kathy & Frescita & Celeste, also Rosie, China. Experiences are all pretty standard. BBBJ, CFS, massage if I ask for it. I didn't really have any unique tastes, but the mamasans would have been a good resource. Apparently the girls had to fill out a form upon joining that indicates their dos / don'ts and the mamasan would be the most direct way to access that knowledge. The book is only a book of photos, not of profiles.

11. Costambar: very safe. Walking all over at all points in the day. Compared with Thailand and Philippines, surprised at seeing zero panhandlers. And even the people selling stuff on the beach aren't that pushy. A couple of clusters of young adults that seem to be vacationing with family, but most of those around look quite elderly. BB feels more like an island of adult fun in a sea of a normal retirement beach place, vs. In Angeles it's everywhere. Makes me wonder if people there know about the operations at BB.

Overall, I had a great time. I'm the type to get into a routine to relax. Every day: gym, beach, food, etc. With the girls just being one part of it. Would recommend.

Good to see trip reports back on the thread, which is why the thread exists.Surely you do not prefer fact-filled trip reports to the ten-paragraph posts on the theory of mongering?

Yes, well done Marvin Hinton. You still have not told me whether you are the real Marvin Hinton. If so, I saw your debut.

Being that I work for my company from home, I'm thinking of doing a week at Blackbeards, without my company knowing that I left the country. When I did Blackbeards back in 2009, I also tried something similar, but the problem was that the wifi at Blackbeards was only decent when I sat outside my room. In my room, it was horrible due to the brick walls. For the telephone, I used magicjack back then, but that depended on the internet, so since I had to sit outside and outside had a lot of noise, well let's just say things didn't go well. People being heard speaking spanish in the background is a little suspicious, right? So for 2019, can someone please give their opinion on the wifi and if it works well within the room? I really need to work within a quiet room, then have a lot of fun with the girls at night. Also any suggestion concerning the phone, where I don't have to depend on the wifi, but the price for the call will still be low calling the Usa from DR?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help!WIFI has improved at BB. I was recently there in late Jan. I suggest the the rooms in the main building or before,5 as the router is just outside the room there on the 2nd floor.

[Bliadun]

However, you WILL have a few interruptions in service every day, some will last a few minutes, others a few hours. Local sim card with 4 g is a must in your case. Data package are reasonably priced in DR.

I am planning to visit June 1st week. BB sold out for few days and searching similar one around. Please share if you know similar to BB.

I am planning to visit June 1st week. BB sold out for few days and searching similar one around. Please share if you know similar to BB.A few options. On the other side of Puerto Plata, across from the Playa Dorada resort complex, is OASIS, formerly Field of Dreams. Recent reports say that the quality for the cost is poor in all categories. But girls are available. Might suffice for a couple of days.

Contact BB and ask if they have any recommendations for "overflow" for a couple of days.

once found an AIR BNB option available in Costambar. Look it up. Condos in Costambar for rent. You could hang at BBs, and get "take out" to your rented apartment for a small fee.

[MrHappyKat]

Big thanks to all posters for trip reports and advice for optimizing a visit to BB. I just booked 10 days there In July and expect to have a blast (or 10).

I don't have a subscription yet (two CC's were declined. Probably my banks fearing non-US charges) but I will find a way to get subscribed sometime in June. Figure it's a good idea in case someone wants to pm me or I need to pm someone about the finer points of planning my trip.

[OldKool]

I have stayed at BB on 2 ocassions. I will never go back. 10 days would be torture. IMHO the girls were ok nothing spectacular. On average 10 to 20 girls a shift. You have to wait for the 3 or 4 stars. There is no excitement because the girls do the same waiting game 365 days a year. After 3 days you will have seen all the girls and eaten all good meals they have. The high point is it is a controlled enviroment so you will not be scammed. The pricing is fixed and fair. The food is decent. The negatives: most of the girls are ok but you are in competition with the other guests for the real winners. After a few days you will have fully explored the menu for girls and food. Once I went to Sosua and saw abou 300 girls and scores of places to eat I was done with BB. You do have to be on the watchout for the bad chicas but they are few and easy to spot most often. In truth it fills more like you are hunting and being hunted. Big fun for me. I will bet the house you are going to be bored to death after 3 days in BB. Let me say for some guys BB is the perfect place. If you are socially challenged or not comfortable approaching women BB is a God send. However if you got any game left in you check out Sosua for day.

I've seen guys who are staying long term go out on golf trips or cigar factory and tobacco farm touring and other things and come back at night to party with the girls.

Also, they sometimes bring in their own girls; you don't have to only choose BB girls.

Then again, some guys stay at BB during the week (when it is slow in Sosua) then go to Sosua Friday and Saturday then return to spend the weeknights at BB.

Everybody does it differently.

Thanks for the ideas and feedback. I have scheduled 3 or 4 open days for possible trips into Sousa. I don't mind the 'seek and acquire' process as it seems similar to other mongering locations like Tijuana's Zona Norte and Singapore's Orchid Towers. But I wonder if it's practical to bring a girl back to BB with me since it looks like a 45-minute taxi ride. Are there short term or low cost rooms available in Sousa I can rent as needed (maybe for 3-5 hours)?

I suppose I could bring a girl back to BB for an overnight, but that seems more risky and problematic.

Finally, is there a Chica "market" in nearby Puerto Plata? Maybe a smaller version of Sousa?

If you have only a short time for a vacation, or lack the patience to spend time finding the "fish" you want, BB is a good choice.

Any questions about quality of girls can be answered by checking out their newsletter, or contacting them to have some photos sent to you. Decide for yourself.

My experience with Sosua was the opposite of the one described. Looking here, looking there, different bars, up and down the streets. Approaching one, transport or stroll back to the hotel, Rinse / Repeat.

I always found the variety of girls at BB to be acceptable. Easy to arrange any 3 somes, or "Happy Hours" and sessions in the Jacuzzi. The room is also just yards away, not down the block.

There are benefits and drawbacks to both, but in the end, everyone has to find what pleases THEM.

Good luck.

[Naked Gunz]

I have stayed at BB on 2 ocassions. I will never go back. 10 days would be torture. IMHO the girls were ok nothing spectacular..Two days at BB was enough. That was ten years ago though. My two days there was a mixed bag. I had a dark chica that fucked me like it was our honeymoon. I went out that night to PP and did not pick up any chica because I thought they were avail in BB all night. To my surprise, the place was shut down like a max security prison! I had to have the guard call me a chica, and luckily one came for me. The next day was the bikini contest, which was great, and some New York guys threw a party for all chicas in the penthouse, which I happily attended. It was a blast. The girl I picked had a nice body, but she refused to take off her top to show me those big tits! I could have made a big deal, but I don't like drama.

I found the Sosua women to be a bit hardcore, and preferred the Haitian sweetness. I would go back to both places because its been so long ago.

[MrHappyKat]

I'm booked for 10 days at BB in July. Yay!

My Spanish skills are limited to Mexican fast food items and just enough dialog to get a Chica into one of the rooms at Adelitas in Tijuana for an hour. I going to work on this with whatever free trainers I can find on the internet / YouTube, but I'm also looking at buying a translator device like a Pocketalk (https://www.pocketalk.net/). This is separate from my phone (where I assume I can use Google Translator app) and it uses WiFi, mobile data or a hot spot to connect to the internet. It's a bit pricey (300 USD), so I'm wondering if it's worth the expense. Plus I'm wondering how awkward it would be to have my negotiation discussion / requests blast out from the speaker, or do I just use the display screen?

Anyone have experience with one of these? There are two or three other devices on the market as well. The other one I've looked at closely has two Bluetooth ear buds; one for me and one for the other person. That model seems better for (sort of) privacy. But will a Chica want to stick something in her ear that was handed to her by a Gringo?

Appreciate any feedback on these or other tips for managing language issues.

Appreciate any feedback on these or other tips for managing language issues.I admit to being tech-challenged, but I would recommend you use some of the time to get some basic phrases down, practice them, before, and with the girls. I would give you something to interact with. Use the device for backup as needed. Check out Youtube for a lot of free language courses online. For help with the X rated phrases, check back with the boards for free coaching.

Good luck (Buena Suerte).

You can just put your phone on airplane mode the whole time and use WIFI connection to use google translator on your phone or some other app. Most of the girls at BB speak enough english to get by to communicate with you. If not you can always get another guy or chica to translate for you. Mamasans will be more than happy to help you with anything. Have a fantastic time there.

There are usually a few Chicas that speak passable English if you want to have some conversation. I have a fee app on the Iphone called ITranslate that seems to work OK.

Using translators are good if you are staying at Blackbeards, but between the chicas who speak both Spanish and English, who can translate for you, the hotel staff who are bilingual, and other mongers who can also serve this purpose I am sure that you are not going to have any problems at the hotel. You can even email Blackbeards about this but the times I've been there, even without me using Spanish, it wasn't too hard communicating. There is always someone who is bilingual, on site. I hope my advice helps.

I am, perhaps needlessly so, a bit hesitant to ask a third party to relate some of my more personal preferences to the Chica about things like oral, DATY and some LIGHT Dom / Sub or DDLG play. Should I not worry about being embarrassed and perceived as an old, creepy pervert? I am already planning on talking to the Mamasan when I first meet her about my preferred type of women and even tipping her a few hundred (maybe up to 1,000?) pesos for helping me find my best matches.

How do others navigate through these more "sensitive" conversations?

Thank as always for advice and insights.

[Charles Pooter]

Should I not worry about being embarrassed and perceived as an old, creepy pervert?Hell no. Glory in it. You are obviously unaware that the DOM in Dominican Republic stands for "Dirty Old Man".

Unless you carry a stuffed baby marmoset, an 18th century footman's tunic and a bicycle pump in your suitcase, you are unlikely to suggest any activity the chicas, and especially the mamasans, have not heard of, and in most cases experienced, many times before. What makes you think you are so special?

Seriously, anything which does not cause them appreciable pain or discomfort, or is a health risk, or wil spoil their hair or clothes, is do-able. That's their job.

[Bliadun]

Just download offline packages in Google Translate app and you'll be able to use it when wi-fi is down. Any speech recognition app would not work very well as most chicas speak in Dominican Spanish with the usage of colloquial and slang and you would have poor results quite often, stick to keyboard use. A few years ago Spanish Sex phrasebook used to be available for borrowing at the reception.

You should not worry about being embarrassed and perceived as an old, creepy pervert. Any chica after a few months in BB probably have heard and done things that would make you blush LOL. Think about mamasans as doctors, just tell them what you need, they've seen it all. You may want to print out a few of your preferences WITH DEFINITIONS in Spanish to avoid misunderstanding.

Before I learned enough Spanish, Google Translate and Sex phrasebook helped a lot.

Thank as always for advice and insights.You don't need to tip the mamasans, actually both current ones Krystal & Hilda are both available themselves. LOL Don't be afraid to ask them anything!

[Cloud420]

Wanted to say thank you to all that have helped and reported about your time at Blackbeards. With all the info you have provided you have convinced me to check this place out! This will be my first trip to the DR and will be staying for 4 days starting July 4th! Thanks again for all the info you have all provided.

MrHappyKat: If our times match up lets grab a beer and at least have another newbie at our side to help each other out LOL. My Spanish is horrible as of now but I have been using a app called Duolingo to learn what I can before my July trip. So far it seems like a great app and it is 100% free, you should check it out!

[Manizales911]

Again my thanks for all the advice! I've also been looking at many of the general travel bloggers on YouTube who post vids about life, vacations, and living in DR, especially the north coast. This has really helped me get a good idea of local culture, and how to get around town and interact with local businesses safely and cheaply. Most importantly, they helped my understand the typical scams and risks to avoid while visiting the area.

Cloud420,

Love the idea of grabbing a beer while chasing the Chica's! Unfortunately, I won't arrive until July 11th. So I think I'm going to miss you by about 3 days. But I'm open to some quality hang time with anyone else here who may be around when I am. Also, thanks for the tip about Duolingo. I'll check it out!

Thank as always for advice and insights.As Charles Pooter said, you are not going to show them something they haven't seen / heard before. The only problem you might have is communicating it. And I doubt you'll find that in your digital translator. FYI, some are easy, ORAL SEX = SEXO ORAL. A 3-some at BB is called a "Happy Hour. " (Ask for those who do it, find one you like, then let her pick the 3rd. Things will go MUCH better).

Hell, I have no experience with the DOM stuff myself, so I have no idea what they call it!

Thank as always for advice and insights.As noted, tips are really unnecessary for assisting you. Buy her a beer or beverage if you like.

If you feel she's really done you a service, 50 pesos or a dollar is a nice gesture.

I used to tip the maids about 5 dollars in the morning, so they cleaned my room first, and it was ready when I got back from breakfast.

[Bliadun]

Happy Hour is a type of threesome when chicas only ''taking care'' of you. If you want them to interact with each other you would have to pay an extra 300 or 400 pesos to each.

Should I not worry about being embarrassed and perceived as an old, creepy pervert?It is a hoarhouse. Everybody is there for the same thing. You would be looked at weird if you did NOT talk about those things. A few years ago I ran into a guy that was posting on ISG. He had one of those old school black and white composition books with all the stuff written down in Spanish that he wanted. He kept going around asking chicks to stick a fake dick up his behind. There was no shame in his game.

On the other hand, if you select a third that has no chemistry with the other girl, it can be a pretty mechanical, unenthusiastic session.

It occasionally happens that the third selected has a "thing" with the other chica, and they enjoy the session with each other as well as you.

If you want a girl on girl show, yes, I can see that they might ask more for that.

I so need to get more quality mongering time outside of the US! It never occurred to me that BB would have a printed menu of session options. Love that!

Questions about the "lesbian show" and other comments about 3-ways (Happy Hours): Is the lesbian show on the price list 2 girls playing with me watching, 2 girls who just please me, or a true three-way, where the girls interact with each other as well as me. And I assume the price of 2,500 is to each, so I'll be paying a total of 5,000 for the session? Also, will they both be comfortable with BBBJ's during this?

Last, is this a ST time frame (1-3 hours)?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.First, BBBJ is the norm at BB. Some may request condom, but a small minority. If you have vaginal sex with both chicas, they will likely ask you to change condoms with each girl.

Second, if you follow the previous advice (let the chica pick the 3rd) you will have 2 chicas that are already inclined to play with each other as well as you. I know guys who have had 3 somes there with 2 chicas that were "friends" in private. A flat-out show, will of course, demand the extra money.

For 2500 pesos, I would expect that to be the ST (1-3 hours).

Thanks again.ST is actually 1-2 hours. Bring some lotion for the chicas to give you a massage afterwards. Be sure to sign up for the BB newsletters on their site. It comes out twice a month & has up to date pics of the chicas there taken within the 2 week time frame. The prices are the minimum set prices & you can give them a little extra for good service.

[MrHappyKat]

Wondering about how safe my laptop and other valuables will be in the room at BB. I get that I should never leave a laptop or phone sitting on a bar counter, unattended. But what about in my room? Pretty sure it won't fit in the room safe where I'll be leaving my extra cash, wallet and passport.

Any tips for this?

Thanks.

Thanks.Your probably not going to have any problems at BB's. That being said, I usually travel with a chain lock and lock the laptop, and anything that won't fit in the safe in the closet. Unfortunately, the closets don't always have working hardware, or it's not possible to lock. I keep a small lock so I can lock up items in my luggage if needed. I mostly do this since I usually stop a few days in Sosua.

[Too Jaded]

So on BB's website it says that they have a masseuse during the day. Is this done in room and does she offer any 'extras'?

I know I could just get one of the regular chicas to give me a massage but having it done by a trained expert followed up by BBBJ would be awesome. She doesn't even have to look that good, LOL!

Why go through the trouble of paying for the schooling and certification if you are still going to do what those with no marketable skills are doing.

Why go through the trouble of paying for the schooling and certification if you are still going to do what those with no marketable skills are doing.I don't know, I'll have to ask the one I see here in the US. She's a CMT that gives a great clinical massage before transitioning to B2B followed with BBBJ. I always feel relaxed after that, albeit $300 poorer!

And $DR1500 is a lot more than $DR500 and given that BB's is an adult resort I wouldn't be surprised.

[OneTimeGuest]

Is this done in room and does she offer any 'extras'?No. It's not done in room and she doesn't offer extras. They make it clear when you book the massage that this is the case.

Other's have mentioned bringing their own oil and getting a massage from their chica. I never tried that myself. Maybe the mamasans can recommend someone.

Likewise, she offered manicures, pedicures for the same reason.

Regarding your local masseuse, I presume having a certificate gives her something to wave at law enforcement, to prove she is "legit. ".

[Husker Dude]

No, the masseuse at BB's does not offer "extras" and the massages are offered in a separate room not in your hotel room.Yes, the masseuse at BB is named Maddie, been there for years now and everything is legit. No extras. Her office is right across from the office. You must pay at the office. I think it was 500 p / half hour. Her massage to me is just OK, nothing speciall. She also does manicures and pedicures like mentioned. One of the more popular.

Chicas on site at BB named China (She has an oriental look, but is not oriental), speaks english and gives a fantastic massage.

[Mr Enternational]

I don't know, I'll have to ask the one I see here in the US. She's a CMT that gives a great clinical massage before transitioning to B2B followed with BBBJ. I always feel relaxed after that, albeit $300 poorer!.It works both ways. You are from a richer country where selling sex is illegal I presume. So the girl you described was already a hooker and went to get certified in massage so she could conduct her hooker business under the guise of massage therapy. In poorer countries mfs are looking for something better to do so they won't have to sell sex.

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?

[Charles Pooter]

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?From where? New York?

I remember many years ago when I was staying at Harbor View, one of the guys said he was from Canada, and a chica asked him how long it took to drive down.

[George03]

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?I rented a car last January in Sosua to drive around the island. There are plenty of rent a car places around.

[MrHappyKat]

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?From what I've seen on various travel blogs about DR, the rental staff will not hesitate to try to rip you off by claiming you are responsible for all kinds of damage to the car, whether you caused it or not. So when the clerk hands you the keys, take him / her with you and do a full walk around of the car taking pics and video from all angles to document all body damage, paint scratches, damaged tires, cracks in windows, etc. Point out each flaw on the video and ask the clerk to acknowledge that it's there. Don't sign the rental form (or hand over your credit card if possible) until you have verified and documented the car's condition.

Also, don't' be surprised if you are driving on a road or highway and a local LE officer pulls you over or stops you at an intersection. They are looking for a bribe and will either suggest you violated some traffic law or just tell you they need money for gas (dinero para gasolina). My advice: pay it and smile. It's probably not going to be more than 1,000 to 2,000 DOP ($10 to $20 USD). Sure you can take the righteous path and refuse. But do you really want to be arrested and tried by a corrupt legal system in a country with a corrupt government?

[Manizales911]

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?I've done it many times, what do you want to know? Do you have experience driving in a third world country? Do you speak spanish?

[Yanqui69]

Does anybody have experience renting a car for a week to go to BB and Sosua?You have a few replies. Here's my two cents.

I personally rent only from national rental chains. I have had good experiences with Budget at the POP airport. I had a small accident, started the paperwork at the airport, completed the process in the US, with the national level Budget people. My credit card insurance covered everything. I doubt it would have been so smooth with a local Dominican company.

Spanish would be very useful at all levels.

If you aren't accustomed to Third World driving, be very alert, and drive defensively. DR drivers, particularly on the motoconchos have a suicidal disregard for cars around them that is infuriating.

They dart in and out, get too close, and drive on all sides, like buzzing mosquitoes.

Years ago, I was paused in the left lane, left turn signal on, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass. When it was clear, I started my turn, only to have a motoconcho slam into my door at an angle, tearing off the mirror on the door. The idiot was driving down the center of the road, oblivious of my obvious attention to make a turn in front of him.

A long story I have told before; will spare you the rest right now. But it illustrates my point.

[Yanqui69]

Gentlemen (yeah, you).

Am considering visiting BB after a while away. I am not familiar with the current generation of chicas at BB.

Has anyone had any recent Happy Hours (3-somes) recently, and some names they could recommend? Any information on special skills, etc, would be appreciated.

You can post replies here, or PM me, if you're too shy.

Muchas gracias.

Hello group,

So I've been searching past posts and can't find an answer to this. I'm hoping those who have deep and current experience at BB can help me, please.

If I bring fresh test results (like the day before I fly to DR) with me from a US lab, is there a potential to find a provider who will allow BBFS? Perhaps for a small propina? Perhaps if I ask the mamasan for "help" finding what I want?

Alternatively, I'll have time to get tested at a local lab, say the same one used by ladies?

If you don't' feel comfortable discussing openly here, I'd appreciate PM's as well.

Thank you.

Thank you.It may be possible, but not likely. I would NOT ask the mamasan. They preach safe sex there and get visits by the health department which does tests & education to be safe. Expect BBBJ, but not BBFS at BB. You may ask a chica, but do it privately, not in the open about BBFS.

You won't find anyone to do with the hotel that will condone unprotected sex. However, you may be able to convince a chica, probably with extra money as incentive.

That said, you are taking unnecessary risks for a little short term pleasure.

Aside from the obvious HIV risks, there is also a long list of STDs that YOU might want protection from. Chlamydia, herpes, for example.

I banged Krystal when she was just another puta working at BB's ten years ago before she had kids, she was a good fuck back then.How do you know they are still available. I was just there and they both seemed very professional and helpful. I would love to get with either one of them.

I'll just leave this here.

ST - 2,100 - 1 pop.

LT - 3,500 - 2 pops.

All Night - 5,500 - 3 pops.

G / G ST - 5,000 (2,500 each Chica) - 1 pop?

I'm booked for 10 days in early July (10th - 21st). Please PM me if you will be there and want to grab a suitable adult beverage or want to explore buddying up for some of the excursions like dune buggies or deep sea fishing.

Thanks to everyone for all the valuable information provided in this forum. It has been very helpful for me as a person new to all of this.

I am coming for the first time to DR / Blackbeards late this summer. This is my first time doing anything like this! My Spanish is limited to basic phrases such as greetings, introductions, etc. If anyone will be around during this timeframe, I would love to meet up.

Welcome to the board, to the DR, and to Puerto Plata (City of God).

I was in exactly the same position as you fourteen years ago. Had never done anything like that before. It was while I was waiting to check in at Blackbeards and I felt my balls being fondled from behind that I realized I was no longer in Kansas. And the fun has not stopped since. I hope it leads to great things for you.

You have three months to work on your Spanish. Concentrate on the numerals and prices. Start thinking in RD $.

If you want a change of scenery one day, arrange to meet me for a drink on the Malecon (sea-front) in Puerto Plata city.

Seeing a lot of cable news coverage of the woman and couple who recently died at resorts in DR under "vague" circumstances this week. It's somewhat disturbing that all three deaths occurred at properties owned by one company. Add to that the report a week or so earlier of a woman being jumped, beaten and left for dead at another resort, possibly by an unidentified staff member. I'm not surprised by the less than enthusiastic efforts by local authorities. As I understand it, that's just business as usual for the DR's government and LE organizations.

So I'm wondering what the fuck is going on?

I'm booked for BB in July and from all research I've seen, I'm fairly comfortable I'll be relatively safe within the property. But I do plan on some adventures in nearby areas like Puerto Plata and Sosua, as well as some of the tourist attractions like dune buggies and others.

So, my question for the vets here: What did these people do to irritate some presumably nasty locals? And what do I need to do (or not do) to avoid waking up dead in my room with fluid on my lungs?

It could be random, targeted, accidental and / or just general crime. The USA media is playing it up, of course.

The thing to remember is that for every tragedy or assault there are 1,000 people who just had a regular vacation. Unless you do something stupid like punch a local or wear a diamond necklace you are probably going to be just fine.

Night security keeps watch to prevent anyone wandering in, theft, etc. The incident with the couple is being investigated, and possible use of drugs / meds after heavy drinking is being looked at. Fluid in lungs? A cinch that they weren't attacked. Costambar is a quiet area. Daylight is zero problem, always spent my nights at the BB compound, no interest in wandering around outside in the dark.

Of course, always be aware of surroundings anywhere. Tourists in a poor country at night are bound to tempt someone. Common sense. Avoid dark isolated areas walking alone, etc, etc.

I am nearly 80. I never could fight and I can no longer run. I walk alone round most of Puerto Plata by day and night (though not past midnight) in tourist areas and also areas where tourists are never seen, and I have never been or felt threatened. However, I do not get drunk, nor do I mouth off deliberately loudly about how I come from a superior race or society to the locals. If you do either of those things, all bets are off.

The deaths you have read about have nothing to do with your situation. They may be suicide pacts, natural causes, domestic disputes or blackmail scams, but they are not random attacks on single male mongers. In fact I cannot remember such a case in the eleven years I have lived here, although my memory is admittedly not what it was.

I'm really not that worried, CP. Just wanted to double check in case I missed some nuance of appropriate tourist behavior. I also don't get drunk, and I'm a generally friendly type. Plus I'm aware of the culture there that generally says "Don't be a rich asshole".

Having said all that, I am still taking certain precautions I normally wouldn't do when travelling outside the US. I'll use a laptop lock, and store my laptop out of sight when not in my room. I have a throw down wallet I don't mind giving up in case I do get my ass somewhere it shouldn't be and find myself looking at the wrong end of a weapon. I'll acquire and use small bills, won't wear expensive jewelry or watches, and I'm working on my Spanish every day. Thank you, Duolingo! I'm planning on bringing a decent camera, but it's pocket sized so I won't be lugging a camera case or bag around.

Should be a great experience. I'm not going to let the usual media hype freak me out. But I will check in with this group to ensure I am properly calibrated when unusual events do happen. So all of your replies are very much appreciated.

https://m.worldstarhiphop.com/android/video.php?v=wshh74SHEG5ES6z93C5l.We can listen to whatever news reports come our way, but I expect no one on this board will really know what all the facts are and what news stories are more speculation than truth. Also, based on my understanding of the DR, I don't expect any official from DR's LE or Government to actually "admit" to wrong doing by the local company or DR citizens. That doesn't mean "locals" are culpable, it just means if they are, someone else will need to prove it.

Bottom line for me, I'm going in July and I expect to fuck my brains out, multiple times. I'll not take stupid risks and I will take reasonable precautions. Just like when I travel anywhere. I've been to 29 countries and the worst experiences I've had were seeing my ATM card stolen in Tijuana, and literally running away from Russian mobsters at a London strip club in Piccadilly Circle, jumping into a taxi and seeing a cricket bat hit the back window as we drove away (but that's a story for another board).

[MrHappyKat]

I was just looking through some of the pics in the BB board (so nice to be a subscriber!) and find myself wondering what the local custom is, especially with the Chicas who frequent BB, with "hedge trimming" and "Southern Maintenance."

Should I expect to see some fairly high brush, modestly mowed lawns, or bare landscapes? Obviously there will be variation from Chica to Chica, but what's the general trend, please?

Thanks as always for any insights.

[NeilGeorge]

I was in BB about 10 years ago and came up with lice, between the bends of my fingers. Had to buy and use some lice prescription for shampoo and also for my body. Told the front desk. Perhaps it came from the bed sheets, or from a girl. That is the only problem I have had with VD or an STD.

[MrHappyKat]

I hope the Chicas pictured will still be there when I arrive next month.

I also hope I can avoid drinking any tainted booze, breathing any poisoned air, and getting salmonella from local food while I'm there!

My friends who know I'm going to DR are starting to suggest I should cancel. The majority of news reports talk about deaths in SD or parts east of there. But the latest was a guy in Sosua.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?Nobody has established any link to deaths. With millions of Americans going to DR few deaths here and there are bound to happen. Death in Sosua probably linked over exertion and weak heart. Could not keep up with sexy young girls LOL. While food safety is suspect in many venues overall do not cause death. Most likely stomach upset with associated diarrhea which will clear itself in couple of days. There are no reports of any deaths in BB. When you travel to other countries there is always a risk. With our hobby more so. Take it easy if there are health issues. You should be fine.

They have a Chicago book behind the main desk that has most of the current BB girls. Go through it & if you really want one, you can ask the mamasan when they are working next or may call them to come in fore you. BB is really safe as far as the DR goes.

The DR generally is very safe, and Blackbeards even more so.

Bottom line, no problems reported at BB, at the other end of the country from most of these incidents.

[MrHappyKat]

Appreciate all the good advice from all of you about BB. I'm booked and confirmed for July 11 through July 21.

If any of you will be at BB during my stay, please PM me. I'll be happy to buy the 1st round (of drinks, not Chica's LOL).

[OldKool]

BB is ok but 3 days is all I could take before I was bored to tears. 15 to 20 girls 3 or 4 are real hot but you are in que waiting your turn for the top girls. It is a very small pond. If possible schedule 3 or 4 days. Go look at Sosua and other areas or you to will be bored. If bb was all there was in the DR 10 days ok but Sosua has 2 or 3 hundred girls. You have to be able to walk and chew gum to have fun but most guys can. I have met guys who need o be at BB. No social skills very unattractive then BB is your go to. However if you are a normal guy you will enjoy Sosua variety in women , places to eat and things to do ,beaches clubs. Good luck. You are going to have more sex in 1 week then most guys have in a year.

The DR generally is very safe, and Blackbeards even more so.Charles, and I am one of those who let you down! Between horrible internet / phone service at BB (and DR generally,) me not checking my ISG PMs, and general noobness. My Apologies!

Thanks for responding and offering to help a noob out when you didn't have to. Hope to make it up to you sometime in the near future!

You did not let me down because I never had to get off my ass ("arse" in English). But you still owe me a cup of tea.

But we are all more interested in how you got on at Blackbeards. A friend of mine has just left in disgust, because not only was the pool closed for repairs, but the workers were noisily chipping off the tile and cement for eight hours a day, every day he was there. Dominicans will never pass up the chance to kick up an anti-social racket.

Dominicans will never pass up the chance to kick up an anti-social racket.Pretty late review (visited BB last year summer).

Overall:

Like most have said, definitely noob friendly, pretty safe area, and plan for 3 days tops. Anything more than that and you start getting bored real quick. The pool was open when I was there but I don't remember anybody actually using it.

Girls:

Girls rate mostly 6.5's, a few 8's but you better make appointments! (Keep track of the newsletter.) Remember, you are shooting fish in a barrel, this can get. Boring. If you are looking for more variety, you are free to bring in external entertainment. But personally, I like this kind of boring. If you are a noob, ID advice you to sit your ass down, make some good appointments, get a good massage, walk the beach, appointment, meet up with some folks from here and at BB, and get some advice from the O. GS for your next trip, appointment.

Service:

I'd say the staff was OK, although I had some issues with my room (hot water, tv) but they eventually got resolved. I have a feeling the "lackadaisical" service pace is probably a common thing in the DR. The phone service was pretty awful in costambar area and BB when I visited, maybe its better now.

Believe it or not, the most memorable thing about BB, and I don't see getting mentioned here alot, is the food. And coffee. I'm I the only one?? The food was awesome! Not a coffee snub but best coffee I have had since.

Nothing like good food and. Arse.

Overall it was a good first experience. When I come back to the DR, will definitely be getting my feet wet with 1-2 days at BBs.

Random advice for noobs (may be outdated):

- Store in front of costambar entrance (change money, buy liquor), pharmacy not far away on the opposite side of the road.

- Google tropiclinks for your transport. Beware of the taxi mafia (Not in a scary way LOL, they just won't let you breathe).

- Tip the workers! (not outdated).

Charles, I hope your friend's experience was a one off!

I'm looking to book my first stay at Black Beards this fall. What kind of identification do they require upon check in? For obvious reasons, I would prefer not to have my name on a reservation log there. I know they require a credit card to make a reservation, I'm just wondering if the name on the reservation needs to match my ID upon check in.

You can make up a name, just remember what name you used. LOL As far as credit card info, they never check, I always turn a couple digits around.

[Travis McGee]

Experienced monger here, reporting on my first Blackbeard's trip. Spent five days there recently.

Communication.

Making reservation and confirming and modifying details was done mostly by email. Robin was especially responsive.

Pick-up.

Driver waiting for me as planned at Santiago airport. Cool about stopping at Jenny's Supermarket to change money. There is also an ATM outside Jenny's which I used a few days later to get more cash.

Check-in.

Paid the room rate in advance in Dominican Pesos. Tax is high18%. Was reminded that my room (D2, deluxe single, king bed) was right next to the disco. This was explained to me earlier, so I made a wise packing decision to take ear plugs. Music really didn't bother me that much. Disco shuts down promptly at 11, so it's not like I was kept up all hours.

Room.

The room was better than I expected. The photos on the website suggest harsh, garish colors, but I now know that it was the bright, cool light that made it look that way. Though I can't say the room was tasteful, it was warmer-looking than expected. It was clean and in good repair, save for the ceiling fan shroud. The minibar fridge worked well and the air conditioning and fan kept the room cool with a minimum of noise. WiFi was booming and consistent, both in the room and throughout the facility. TV worked OK, though the remote buttons were a little fiddly. Porn on 301 was nice, though it all looked the same. Plenty of closet space and enough hangers (which you often don't find in 4- and 5-star hotels). Safe works with a key, easier to use than the contemporary keypad models. The bed was comfortable no lumps and has good lumbar support. Lots of pillows. Bathroom fixtures were old but in good repair.

Facilities.

Pool was recently refurbished. Water temp just right for cooling off after sunning. Didn't go in the Jacuzzi. Everything seemed in good repair. Bar was sort of uncomfortable to sit at; not enough of an overhang so where do your knees go? I didn't try the Jacuzzi--and it was out of order for part of my stay.

Neighborhood.

I was surprised to find that the neighborhood around BBs was really nice. Beach is two short blocks away and features a number of seaside cafes and barsthough not so many as to make it seem commercial and tacky. There were a lot of handsome houses and condo buildings. Going the other direction, Jenny's Supermarket was a little less than a mile. Costambar is a gated community; I never once sensed any threat during my walks.

Food.

Breakfast was consistently good; nothing better than waking up to a good omelet, toast, Dominican coffee, and fresh OJ after a night of sex. But I wasn't impressed by the lunch and dinner fare. Chicken with a lemon caper sauce was great the first time I had it, but the second time the chicken was tough and dry. The pork chop was even tougher and dryer. The mozzarella sticks were like bricks. Hamburger was so-so. In short, typical pub grub.

Staff.

Manager Robin seemed born to the job. Easygoing, remembers everyone's name, listens thoughtfully. I always enjoyed talking to him. One of the day managers, though, was not so nice. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I asked Robin if I could check out an hour late. Sure, he said, no problem, no one else has your room reserved. When check out day came, though, the manager on duty told me no, that wasn't possible. She gruffly informed me that I'the have to move my stuff to a different room and pay a $25 fee. My protestations that Robin had told me otherwise fell on deaf ears. Definitely lost a bit of goodwill with that one. The housekeeping staff was very personable and cleaned my room early in the morning as requested (for which I tipped them personally). The waitstaff was also sweet, especially Monica and Adriana.

Processes.

All food and drink transactions are laboriously written out on a pad with carbon paper (Most of the time I paid in cash, though sometimes I billed my meals or drinks to the room. It was never clear to me how they would keep track of which meals I'the paid for; I never received any receipts. At check out, I was presented with a total but not a breakdown of expenses, which made it impossible to double check my bill. Hope that BB's installs a 21st century billing / point-of-sale system someday to make it easier to keep track expenses.

Chicas.

All the women I was with were clean and well-groomed. Each one took a shower upon entering my room and on leaving it. Nearly all had at least one tattoo, but no one was heavily or unattractively inked. Nearly all had shaved pussies, and those who didn't had a nice little trim. One had a nose piercing. They were all Dominicanas and ranged in coloration from dusky to chocolate. Most had natural tits, though a couple had had work done. None of them was drop-dead gorgeous, but neither was anyone homely or skanky.

All the women were cool with me taking pix of them (clothed). I didn't ask for nude shots.

Hilda, one of the mamasans, was very good about finding me the kind of girls I like, and seemed to manage the chicas with a good mixture of firmness and empathy. She's also pretty hot herself and I had a good trio with her and Michelle.

Personalities ranged from those who came close to offering a GFE with good eye contact, laughter, and a short nap together afterwards to those who seemed rushed and mechanical. I had four threesomes; three of them where what BB's calls a "Happy Hour," which is when both women focus on you but do not interact sexually with each other. The standouts there were Rony & Chanel, who were good the first time and great the second. I also had a "Lesbian Show" threesome which costs slightly more and, because it was fairly light on the girl / girl interaction, wasn't quite what I'the hoped.

I had two anal sessions, both with Ana. The first wasn't that great; Ana didn't seem at all into foreplay and wanted to fuck spoon style as soon as I got respectably hard. And she left quickly afterward. Over the next few days, she came over to me a lot and asked if I wanted to go again, and finally on my last day there I relented. This session was better; she didn't rush to the main course this time and took quite an anal pounding in doggy.

Two standouts were Marlin, a new girl, and Flor, a veteran. Both gave close to a GFE and definitely knew their way around a man's body.

Suggestions.

One my best decisions was to bring a Bluetooth speaker and a tablet. I'm not normally a fan of background music during sex, but here it really helped set the mood and gave the chicas something to dance to.

For those who plan on doing trios, I suggest bringing a LOT of condoms, because the girls are diligent about swapping them out each time you go from one to another. BB's sells condoms at the bar, but they're not as good quality as the ones I brought.

There are rooms on the other side of the pool, across from the bar, that are entered from the outside and have little front porch setups with a chair or two. That looked pretty inviting, so next time I go I may request one.

Summed up.

Thanks to the other posters on this board, I knew pretty well what to expect at Blackbeards. My experience there was very much line with what others have described. It's not the way I would choose to do This Thing We Do all the time, but for where my head was at at that time, it was perfect. I was stressed out and mentally tired from a grueling stretch at work. Didn't feel like assessing, pursuing, and rolling the dice this time. Blackbeards had what I was looking for and did it well. Everything worked the way it was supposed to. And while I can't honestly claim it was an amazing mind-blowing experience, it was a good one nonetheless. I suspect I'll return.

[Charles Pooter]

One of the best reports on any location which I have ever read over the past eighteen years. Totally literate and detailed about the stuff that matters. Very helpful to anyone hesitating whether to plump for Blackbeards.

[Scctxs45]

There haven't been any posts in a while. Though I would send out an update. LOL.

Shipmate prices have gone up again. Not too much but they have gone up none the less.

Short term: $2,500 (one session) $50 USD.

All night: $4,500 (two sessions) $90 USD.

Exclusive: $6,500 (three sessions) $130 USD.

Regardless of price I always give a tip if the service was great and it usually is for me. Always let them know your expectations up front and enjoy the time!

[SubCmdr]

Been a long time since I've been there. But when I was there I didn't understand the appeal of the place at all. When I was up in there I didn't see a chica I would fuck with your dick.

[OldKool]

BB is not a bad place but if you have been any where else it quickly loses its luster. Most girls are 5 to 7 and the top girls are in great demand. So you sit around waiting for sloppy 3 rds. If you are insecure and need hand holding then BB fills the need. If Boca Chica and Sosua did not exist BB would the end all be all, I have been there twics and will never go again. Sosua give you access tover 200 willing girls.


Been a long time since I've been there. But when I was there I didn't understand the appeal of the place at all. When I was up in there I didn't see a chica I would fuck with your dick.

I received an email from Blackbeard's management today stating that it, like other resorts in the DR, is still closed due to the pandemic. They do not know when they will be able to re-open, but doubt it will be before July or August. The good news, though, is that none of the staff or the chicas are sick. I'm looking forward to a huge grand re-opening party and partaking in all sorts of life-affirming activities then.

Yes, it is all in one food, stay, company. But I like the chase and target. Only one time I went just to see during swim suit competition. Most girls are ugly. Good looking ones you am sure get fucked a lot. When I went some of the girls were getting English education. I do not know why a set up like this need language skills. I am not sure if all the girls get health check ups. Even then what I heard was there was no BBFS on site. Maybe in private you can arrange with a individual girl.

The beach around is not as lively as Sosua.

[Travis McGee]

Sammon is right that those who have the time and enthusiasm for searching for and pursuing women might not enjoy Blackbeard's. He's right that the beach nearby is laid back. And he's right that there is officially no BBFSA. As has been said many times on this site, to each his own. Those who want an off-the-hook beach scene, who love the search and pursuit, and who are willing to chance BBFS would probably find the Sosua scene more to their liking.

However some of Sammon's conclusions, based apparently on being there a few hours for the swimsuit competition, are not borne out by my experience.

The women there DO get regular health checks. In my book, that's one definite advantage of Blackbeard's. So is the fact that many of them speak passable English—it makes communication much easier for those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. It helps avoid misunderstandings and disappointments. The women run the gamut from good-looking to average. Looks are, of course, a matter of personal taste, but I've never seen an ugly woman there. And thanks to the excellent mamasans, guys can easily hook up with women who offer whatever it is they're looking for. You also get much more assurance that you won't be robbed or ripped off.

I have done and enjoyed the kind of mongering Sammon prefers. But I have also done and enjoyed places like Blackbeard's. My choice of which to partake of depends a lot on my state of mind and the time I can spend.

The Blackbeard's environment is not for everyone. It doesn't try to be. Various guys on this board have written about coming to Blackbeard's to relax and get away from their demanding and sometimes exhausting jobs. For those men, the quiet beach, the ease with which female company can be had, the assurances of safety and health, and the ability to communicate verbally with the chica of their choice are precisely what they're looking for.

In may trips, I also found the women to be attractive to average, and mostly great service. No BS at all. I am not sure why some don't get it that it is a personal choice whether you like it or not. If not, don't go there. I personally like to go there for a few days each trip to the island. But I probably would be bored after a few days if I tried to stay there more than 3 or 4 days. That's why I head to the Sue next. I recommend for first timers to DR on the north coast to book a day or two at Blackbeards before heading elsewhere. If you don't like it, don't go back.

[Bliadun]

In the near future, you need to have a backup plan when visiting BB or any other hotel. According to the previous email, they had to kick out 3 guests. I do not blame BB, the government made them do it.

I wonder how those that were kicked out managed this challenge. What if were was no plane seats available to their destination? Could they have rent an apartment for a few days on short notice? If yes at what rate? I suppose when you go to BB, it would be better to have more than one credit card, plenty of cash, a list of potential apartment owners or managers. There is a possibility of being stuck in DR if the second wave of the virus craziness will hit while you are there.

It describes the situation you encountered there and gave me a better understanding as to the reasons someone would use their facilities. I have been there (yes it was a while ago). It was a mens club meeting for about 4 hours. Although I did not partake. I found it to be everything you described. The girls. I even purchased some pharmaceuticals there that were so powerful they could only be used with the most enthusiastic playmates. We need more of your type of reporting.

Two Thumbs up!

Just as a side note, you didn't mention the food. How is the steak?

If you don't like it, don't go back.Throw your hands up and take your home run trot. Cause you hit that one so far out of the park that they will be looking for it for a long time!

Personal preferences is the reason we all travel to where we do, and do what we do after we get there and pay what we want to get what we want, right?

I spent three days in the Sue and I was ready to head back to home base. Even through I enjoyed my experience it's too far away in my opinion. And in spite of the King of Sosua delighting in throwing eggs at me from a distance (and missing I might add), I actually enjoy all the action I get from the major cities and puta pueblos that I frequent. They are all within a 20 minute to 2 hour drive for me. Oh shit, there the mention of my vehicle again!

It's obvious that some of us don't let others dictate to us how we chose to spend our time or hard earned money. Why? Because we handle our man business the way we choose to. I appreciate the descriptions that provide real information on places and situations along with the their personal opinions. I don't even know why people mention the quality of looks anymore. When I said nobody asks for 7's, people rode my case. But if you look at posts people ask numerically for 8's and up. The problem is my attractiveness scale will always be different from someone else's. So I also ask: "What type of girl do you find attractive? What are the physical qualities you like? That helps me make a recommendation on attractiveness way better. Time, energy, language skills and money all play into our individual decisions that we make when deciding how to procure, pay and who we choose as our playmates.

I'll keep posting until COVID-19 gets me!

Unprecedented in our lifetime. Such occurrences are very unusual. That said, if one checks Air BNB, I have found accommodations available in Costambar.

Most were ugly? Not my experience. There is usually a broad spectrum, to suit every taste. Suggest anyone look at the newsletter, and you can see for yourself.

The good looking ones get fucked a lot? Like the good looking ones in Sosua don't service more clients than the others? Really? Looking for a pretty girl in Sosua that hasnt seen a lot of action?

Not sure why a set up like this needs language skills? Seriously? Much better to communicate with your partner than pointy-talky.

Yes the girls do get medical checkups monthly. And while I can appreciate the benefits of bareback, do you really want unprotected sex with a girl that has serviced many clients in the past week?

It takes all kinds to make a world.

You know they all have to be hurting financially.

The hotel staff, in particular.

[Yanqui69]

There haven't been any posts in a while. Though I would send out an update. LOL.

Shipmate prices have gone up again. Not too much but they have gone up none the less.

Short term: $2,500 (one session) $50 USD.

All night: $4,500 (two sessions) $90 USD.

Exclusive: $6,500 (three sessions) $130 USD.

Regardless of price I always give a tip if the service was great and it usually is for me. Always let them know your expectations up front and enjoy the time!Prices just seem to be keeping up with inflation.

I recall when a Short Time was 1500 pesos, but that was when you got 30 DOP to the dollar. Now, its over 50 to the dollar.

[YyzTravel]

Anyone recommend the best way for me to get to Blackbeard's from Santo Domingo (SDQ?) I already bought a flight to SDQ and want to split my time between Blackbeards / Sousa / Santo Domingo.

It's about a 3.5 hour drive, and there are ZERO direct flights on Google flights. Is Uber or a transportation service the best way to go?

[SubCmdr]

When looking at inflation inside a country you do not look at exchange rates. The selling of pussy is a service. You only get to use the pussy for a specified period of time at certain rate. You do not ever own it. Even if you marry it! So the price of that service is not tied to the rate of exchange of any other currency outside of the country the service is being provided in.

A Dominican Peso is a Dominican Peso is a Dominican Peso peso to a Dominicana inside of Republica Dominicana.


Prices just seem to be keeping up with inflation.
I recall when a Short Time was 1500 pesos, but that was when you got 30 DOP to the dollar. Now, its over 50 to the dollar.Now let's examine this statement. I am forced to make some assumptions because the complete details are not given by OP.

In order to measure the change of a certain amount of money due to inflation in a given country you must know the amount of money and the period of time being measured. We do not have those exact numbers. But we have an idea. The OP gave a reference of 30 DOP to 1 USD. The exchange rate app I use gave 36 DOP to 1 USD in 2010 (no data past then and I didn't bother to look). So let's take 1500 DOP and check what the value of it would be in 2020 based on the historic rate of inflation in Republica Dominicana: 2161 DOP (rounding). That gives you a real price increase of a "Short Time" session with the pussy at Blackbeards Resort of around 240 DOP give or take a DOP.

Now if your economy is in USD and you started buying a session with the pussy for 1500 DOP at 30 DOP to 1 USD you were paying 50 USD. If are now paying 2500 DOP for the same session at 54 DOP to 1 USD (April 2020) you are now paying 46.30 USD. That is 3. 70 USD (7. 4%) less for your session with the pussy at Blackbeards Resort. Due to the currency markets you are currently receiving a discount. But remember markets go up and they go down. Some of you hard working people out there with large 401 (k) balances out there are learning that the hard way right now. Just remember it is not a loss until you sell.

Have the prices for pussy session at Blackbeard's gone up higher than the rate of inflation in DOP? Yes! Is the individual who earns their money in USD paying more? No! You see the math does not change if you have a job or are currently restricted from traveling to Republica Dominicana because the DR government is trying to get a handle on the worldwide pandemic on their part of the island right now.

There is a difference between precision and accuracy. Not bad for a man in the arena who can't spell, eh? But I can do basic math. And I've been doing it for a long time as I learned how in elementary school. I've also picked up a bit of knowledge about currency markets and exchange rates over the years.

I'll keep posting until the computer game of life hits me with COVID-19. I'll fight it until: Game over! If you do not see me here anymore, look for me in the statistics. LOL!

Note: to make the calculation I used the following site that also makes a few assumptions based on the historical data it has available. Check it out for yourself.

I wish them all luck.

You know they all have to be hurting financially.

The hotel staff, in particular.In the BB newsletter the owner John, mentioned that the government was giving employees a portion of their salary on 4/15 & he was giving them the difference in what they were making. Also gave all the chicas some $ for food, etc and donated all the food on hand to split among them all.

[Bliadun]

Price for ST in USD in January 2018-$37, in September 2019-$49. So about one third price hike in dollars, not in pesos!

Brazil recently became cheaper for everything by about 30-50% comparing to DR. Last week I checked air ticket prices for this fall and it was cheaper than DR. Brazil is better in every way besides the flight time. It's not an option for short trips, but for a week or two, I would choose Brazil.

I recall when a Short Time was 1500 pesos, but that was when you got 30 DOP to the dollar. Now, its over 50 to the dollar.More than likely they have the girl price in pesos loosely pegged to the USD. When you look at their website everything is in USD; nothing is in DOP.

Google their site, but I think they have service from SD. https://www.tropiclink.net. It is a shared ride, on their website, it says they can go from SD to Blackbeards. They have a US number that you can call for info and pricing on your exact dates. If you read deep in the Sosua forum, you might find bus info from SD, I know I have read about it in the past, but can't direct you to a thread at the moment. This may be a cheaper way if you can figure it out.

Is Uber or a transportation service the best way to go?I take an uber taxi from Santo Domingo airport to either metro bus or caribe tours. Then I take the bus to Puerto Plata. You can take an uber or motoconcho from Puerto Plata bus station to Blakbeards which is very close. This is very cost effective, comfortable buses and may be the best way.

First of all I would like to thank all of the informative posters. As a first-time poster this thread has given me a wealth of information & goes quite far back. I feel like I have a great idea of what to expect from BB. I've been keeping a close eye on travel restrictions in and out of the DR. It would appear that they will be opening airports countrywide July 1st. Although I will not be able to travel that soon I hope to get in late July early August. Consistent numbers across multiple websites are saying 40 to 50% hotels will open in July with the remainder in November. Just curious if anyone has an inside scoop on the situation with BB?

Please remember that our office is not answering emails on a regular basis; so if you can. Refrain from sending us reservation and availability requests until we announce a re-opening date.

Whenever you get there, though, enjoy your stay!Thank you for the reply I am in fact on their email list. Coming that early is likely a pipe dream. But I know that for me personally if I don't put a loose plan together then I will let other things get in the way and it won't happen. I've been telling myself for more than 10 years that I was going to make a trip to Pattaya needless to say I have not done that. The Chase does not interest me I had considered the DR as a destination previously. But was not willing to pay the outrageous cost of something like blue paradise or Playboy vacations. And chasing tail in Sosua easy as it may be is not my cup of tea. I honestly didn't know BB's existed until after the world was already in lockdown for covid-19. If it weren't for a misspelled Google search and a write-up from rockit reports I would still be in the dark. I am a total greenhorn to P4P or international travel for that matter. Having read every scrap of information that is available on this forum pertaining to BB's for me it's an absolute no-brainer. I cannot think of one single question to ask that has not already been answered tenfold by the wealth of information that is available in this thread. My time is so limited that's the point and click nature in close proximity to Kansas City where I live is fucking perfect. Reading this forum has gotten me acquainted with who the legends both ladies and guests are past and present and I can't wait to get my pasty white ass down there.

[Travis McGee]

...the point and click nature...Other easy-to-get-to options in that category would be The Hotel M (a / k / a The Mansion a / k / a / Casa Blanca) in Medellin and Campo Alegre in Curaao. The former is still closed, as far as I know, due to the pandemic and the latter has reportedly been forced into bankruptcy, but when things open up again I wouldn't be surprised if both those places opened as well. There's also the Hotel Del Rey in San Jose, Costa Rica. I like both "the chase" and the "point and click"; it all depends on time, distance, money, opportunity, and my state of mind. LMK if and when you make your BB's reservations; I might be there too.

[Cannibal86]

I like both "the chase" and the "point and click"; it all depends on time, distance, money, opportunity, and my state of mind. LMK if and when you make your BB's reservations; I might be there too.You couldn't have said that better time and distance are the two biggest factors for me. At the maximum I can take 5 days off from work plus Saturday and Sunday so a total of 7. Travel time and boots on the ground would all be within that time frame. Which is largely reason I've never buckled down and committed to a Thailand trip. But with the DR and BB's being in such close proximity to home I would have five full days to enjoy. Even having to switch planes in Miami from MCI I can be in POP inside of 7 hours from takeoff. I suppose I shouldn't say that I don't or wouldn't like the chase because under the right circumstances I'm sure I could. I don't chase here in the States because I'm not interested in having a long-term at this point in my life. But something tells me it's much different abroad. For getting my feet wet in the world of transactional intimacy and the DR I feel like BB's is the right choice for me. As far as letting you know if and when I make my reservations absolutely as long as you don't mind hanging around with a younger fellow I just turned 34. I'm sold I'm coming it's just a matter of when.
