If no new reports from any of this could one of you locals like ******* or Charles Pooter shed some new light or hope for us.
Sorry, buddy. I ain't a local yet. Still stuck in the UK trying to complete the sale of my house. I expect to be in Puerto Plata for good within two months though, when I will be your local reporter.
Is puerto plata and sosua dead? , or what!
Sosua is chock full of chicas, there seems to be a new influx of Santiaguerras newer to the game, many willing to provide service for recession prices! A little bit of Spanie' will get you ST for RD$1,000. TLN RD$1500 is not a tough nut to crack. Tuesday and Wednesday's are nights to stay in or dial up a favorita. Sunday actually has the best talent around town, especially earlier for semi-pros.

Sosua will never die, it just keeps rolling along.
The players and the chicas change, but everything else is about the same.
Stayed at BB's 6-22 and 23. The pool doesn't have any water. The are doing renovations atm. Noise all day long with room upgrades and sanding inside the pool. So I would avoid it for the next week if you want some quiet, and don't mind dust in your food. The chicas are nice and the staff is still great. Prices are 1500dp ST and 3000TLN. Hardly anyone there so not much competition atm for picking a chica. They have a new info sheet inside each room that explains everything including chica prices.

Will be at blackbeards july 2nd to 6th. Can I expect alot of construction still?Also was wondering if anyone has written directions to Jenny's super market. I went once with local from the area last time but can not remember location. Do they still have the best exchange rate around? If anyone will be there during this time let me know.
Now its 1500/3000? Damn inflation
Guys,
Can back from DR this past Sunday, and I have to say I will never forget this trip. Stayed at Plaza Europa in which I thought was a great stay and has great security. The girls were freaking awesome. Payed around 1200 to 2000 (TLN) peso. Ran in too some great people from the states and gave great advice to me and my buddies on girls, where to eat, places to visit. Went to club classico, Club Latina and some other clubs (can't remember the names) on the strip. I will def will be going back October 29 till November 1, will be staying at the same place.
After this trip I thought about moving here, BUT can't find any tech jobs.

Jenny's is right inside the gate to the Costambar subdivision. You will find it directly across from the pharmacy. You cannot miss it. It has a good exchange rate. In fact, it will give you local change on a purchase made in U.S. dollars.

Try this.
As you leave BB, walking the street/road, make 2 rights, that will get you to
Sole Mio, the Italian restaurant.
From there make a left, past the other eatery, to the 4-way intersection.
From there, make a right, and follow the road, more or less straight ahead,
till you get to the commercial area (pharmacy, Jenny's across the street, etc)
It is very simple, total walk can't be much more than a half mile.
At any point, when in doubt, just ask:
"Donde esta Jenny's?" or "Donde esta el supermercado?"
(or get a motoconcho from BB to take you for about 100 pesos).
..... Do they still have the best exchange rate around? .....
I have always gone to Jenny's to exchange or the small cambio across the street, just past the pharmacy as you enter Costambar.
My question is based off the above. Is Jenny's still the best place to cambio? I have been hearing that Caribe Tours gives rates above the published Bank to Bank rates by a peso or so. Anyone out there know? Anyplace else I should check out for better rates?
Also regarding the location of Caribe Tours. I know where the one in Sosua is (on the main road to Sosua from POP airport just before you hit Sosua on the left), but where is the one in Puerto Plata? Is it easy to get to? Is it worth my time or should I just stick with Jenny's? I rent a car for my exploits and stopping in PP on the way in to exchange isn't a big deal. If someone needs to cab it to get to the cambio, an extra peso is eaten up by the cabfare.
I am going down soon and am interested.
I guess the more I go down to the DR, the more spoiled I get. I used to not worry about the exchange rate and go with BBs, but the more I go, the more I want to strech my dollar. Especially now that the chica prices have gone up.
Thanks in advance.

Also regarding the location of Caribe Tours ... where is the one in Puerto Plata? Is it easy to get to?
The Caribe Tours bus terminus is easy to get to from Costambar because it is on the edge of town on the Costambar side. (Unlike the Metro terminus which is "buried" in the middle of town.)
Approach Puerto Plata from Costambar with the mountain on your right. As you approach the main part of town you will see the very distinctive three-storey pink and orange Harbor View building on your right at the foot of the mountain. Immediately after passing that you will reach La Javilla road junction with its little gyratory decorated with flags.
Turn left at La Javilla into town. As you do so you will have the Javilla Tours bus station on your right. Almost immediately the road forks. Straight ahead leads to the Malecon but you need to make a slight right into the centre of town. Caribe Tours bus station is two blocks along on your right. I believe you can drive in and park short-term (but I am not a driver in the DR so I could be wrong!).
Caribe Tours bus station is two blocks along on your right. I believe you can drive in and park short-term (but I am not a driver in the DR so I could be wrong!).I dropped off a chica at Caribe Tours a few years ago. I parked to the side of the station, from what I remember there is small shopping plaza adjacent to the bus station with a parking area. From what I remember the caribe tours bus station in Puerto Plata was a few blocks off the main road, fairly easy to find.
Thanks,
I didn't expect visual aids. I appreciate it.
Any other thoughts on the exchange thing are also welcome.

Any other thoughts on the exchange thing are also welcome.
Sorry, I cannot help you with that. In fact I do not even know for sure that there is a cambio there but I assume there would be as it is a busier terminus than Sosúa.
I mentioned the Javilla Tours bus station as this is useful for anyone wanting to travel cheaply from Puerto Plata to Cofresi, Imbert, Altamira, Naverete or other pueblos on the route to Santiago. Some buses must go on other routes too but I have never investigated those.
Harbor View is the block of condos managed by Dominican Billy. Condos are sometimes available for short-term rental. Billy has a little bar and restaurant there and visitors are welcome but it is not always open nowadays as most of the condos are now owner-occupied or rented by long-term residents who cater for themselves.

yes, i've been to bb's, - but not recently,
and i need a good internet connection during my next trip.
so, the question for recent visitors:
since the recent upgrades (power generator, etc) have been installed,
what is the reliability of the internet connection and the
strength/speed?
does the internet connection still go down (for days at a time)?
apparent internet speed?
gracias!

i just got back from the north coast and bbs and inquired about this and other issues. here is what i found out.
the internet is dsl, so you do not get cable type speeds, but not bad. the new generator works well and keeps the internet on more than before. the modem needs to reboot when the power switches to the generator.
bbs said lots of the guests use skype. bbs said the internet is reliable most of the time, but they do not use it like you would. i talked to another business in costambar that relies more on the internet and uses the same type connection speed and service as bbs and they said the internet is still hopscotch. this business uses magic jack for their international telephone and said when things are ok, it works perfect, but there are many times the connection is not good enough for this right now. it is usually not out days at a time, but for periods of hours.
at bbs the internet wi-fi strength is really most reliable in the bar/restaurant area. i have gotten signals in c1 in the past, but i was in the d building this trip and barely got a signal in the upstairs bar/disco and none in my room.
i am letting this trip settle in and don’t know if i will post a report. had a great time, checked out several places and split my time between bbs and the novia.
I was just at BB's, 5-8 July.
Nothing has changed as far as great service and great chica's.
But some of the staff and chica's has changed. Many of the very familiar chica's have gone and there are new ones in to replace them. The Mamasan's do a great job with handling the girls and there are chica activites almost every night, ie- bikini volleyball. During the day the girls would get into their bikini's for an afternoon swim in the new pool.
The chica prices have increased slightly, about $3-5 USD, not much at all.
The resturant is the same, there are new flat screen TV's in the common area's.
I meet some old friends and as always made some new ones and again, as always, there were a guest or two to stay away from.
There is a policy in place concerning video and picture taking which is probably due to the recent youtube video.
I expect to return in August and will always go to BB's.
I drove by FOD several times and from what you can see from the street, it looked very quiet, as compared to at BB's where there are always cars and scooters parked outside.
IMHO, FOD is out in the middle of no where unless you want to walk over to the huge resort across the street. But I would think twice before attempting to cross that street.
The BB's neighborhood hasn't changed at all.
Just got back from a 6 day/5 night trip to the Dominican and the North Coast. I broke the trip up a bit this time and checked out a few places for my next vacation down here. I settled on 2 nights at Blackbeard’s and 3 with the novia for this trip. The following are some of my experiences and observations.
First off, the trip down was amazing. I checked in the airport and there was almost no line. The first leg of my flight to Newark left on time and no weather concerns. I was near the front of the plane and was one of the first down the corridor to customs and baggage claim. The cheesy Caribbean trio started playing as I rounded the corner and a huge smile came across my face. I got out a dollar bill out of my pocket and put it in the tip bin. I felt like I was finally home. I was the second person to the tourist card lady; made some small talk with her in Spanish and paid her $10 (I had heard it was now $15. Maybe a little small talk goes a long way). I then walked thirty paces to the guy who takes that same card away from you. It always struck me as a dumb thing, to buy a tourist card from one person only to have it taken away by someone else a few paces down. Welcome to the Dominican Republic!! I could not believe it; my luggage was just coming out the carousel as I was making my way into the baggage claim area. My bag was the third one out the shoot and I picked it up and never broke stride. I walked past the guy at customs, faking that I could lift it up my bag to his table as he waved me through. No-one was at the rental car counter and the girl who does the paperwork was efficient and I was done in no time. Gave the guy who looks for scratches and dents on the rental car a couple bucks to do a good job (it is amazing how many more scratches and dings they find when you give them a couple bucks tip) and I was driving out of the airport in less than 30 minutes from when the plane touched down.
I went to Sosua first, to check out a couple places, get a drink at Rocky’s and got on the internet. I then walked around to see what my best exchange rate would be and used a tried and true Dominican negotiation tactic; say no to the first offer, then the second and then finally seeing what they do to make a better deal. The best price I got was .2 pesos per dollar less than the official bank rate and I exchanged a couple hundred bucks. I walked over to La Passions to scope the place out and thought a nice massage or soapie with a happy ending might be a good way to start the trip off. Had a Presidente there and talked to a couple chicas in their schoolgirl outfits (very nice!), but they didn’t get my juices going so I passed. One day I would like to go there when a good crew of girls is there and see how things go. I made my way to the beach and the place was almost deserted. I got accosted by the street vendors and headed back to town. Went over to the New Garden to check out the accommodations and was able to see a room in the old building. Basic accommodations there, but nice. It was a little after 2:30 in the afternoon and there were about six chicas at the small bar area plying their trade. Found it easy to say no as I was not staying there and there was only one chica there that even peaked my interest. I only saw 3 or 4 chicas walking around or at the bars on the main drag, but I did run into two transvestites. Lovely.
Left Sosua and stopped at Caribe Tours to check on cambio rates on my way out of Sosua and found their rate only slightly better at .15 less than the official bank exchange rates. I then drove down the road towards Costambar. By the way, Jenny’s Market was the same exchange rate, at .15 under and I saw no other cambio better than that during my stay.
I wanted to check out the Field of Dreams hotel, so I stopped in and talked to Franklin there. He showed me a suite and then I went to the bar area. There were about 6 or so chicas there, 3 of which I remembered from BBs and they remembered me. There were a couple nice chicas, but nothing to write home about. To be fair, this is the afternoon and I have no idea what it is like in the evening. I discussed price and they were similar to BBs. Rooms were available and the accommodations were very nice.
I got into BBs a little after 4 and got a room in the D section, above the office and bar, near the disco. This was my first time for a room in this building, and although the room was very nice, I hope this is my last time in this building. I had been up since 4am and hoped to have an early night. This was a weekend night and the disco was open until 1. There is no way not to hear the music in these rooms from the Disco if you stay in the D section. I was a bit more tired than I wanted to be that night, but I survived. I picked out a little firecracker earlier in the night for TLN named Elizabet and I was quite happy.
There are definitely some changes at BBs. As has been reported, chicas are now 1500 pesos ST and 3000 TLN. There are a lot of new girls here from my last stay in December, and quite a few familiar faces. The new rules on set schedules (afternoon 11am to 6pm or evening 6pm to midnight), missing scheduled days (1000 pesos fine per offence) and exit fees (800 pesos for those wanting chica take out and not staying at BBs) has weeded out a lot of chicas who were used to the old ways of doing things. The chicas do seem to be as content as can be, considering they work in a wh*rehouse. BBs no longer gives you a sheet coming in explaining things, but rather have a small book with all the info including tours, rules for customers and of course, chica menu prices. Girl on girl action with happy hour has been added to the menu (300 pesos per chica) and Jacuzzi action is negotiable, but carries a price.
The new generator is a welcome sight for those in the main building and now having air conditioning all day and night. Much of the restaurant and in room furniture has been freshened up. New paint everywhere and the waitresses are trying to learn how to deal with the menu in English. Water pressure is still an issue as if a couple people use it at the same time to shower, it slows to a trickle. There is hot water sometimes and sometimes not. The pool has been newly painted and refilled and the place looks as good as I have ever seen it. Deluxe Doubles now have a wall partitioning off the second bedroom and has air conditioning in the second smaller room.
The chicas seem to be a little more savvy and professional than on previous trips as to how to work a guy for stuff, but this may be as much to the luck of the draw as anything, as I talked to only a portion of them on my two night stay. The Bikini Contest seems to promote more wild activity than in the past and it is the same in the disco. CBJ vs. BBBJ was my experience in “mi cama”, but then again I was only there two nights and maybe that skewed things a bit.
I checked into some apartments with a kitchen set up and 24 hour electricity for my next trip down with the novia. Hotels are OK, but I wouldn’t mind trying this out next time down. I am astonished how word spreads in the small village area where my novia lives that I am her novio and I am in town. I am quite recognizable to people in the area as the “rich gringo novio” and everyone takes their turn hitting my novia up for something when they know I am coming down. I think gossiping is the number one pastime for many in the small village as there is nothing much else going on there. Everyone knows everyone else’s business.
I am attaching some of the pages from BBs welcome book showing some info. I hope it shows up OK as a smaller jpeg as an attachment.
That is about all I have to report on and I enjoyed myself totally. I am trying to take the “novia/novio” thing slowly, but I do find my time with her intoxicating. Having my cake and eating it too is still a new experience for me.
Talk at you later.

I just returned this week from a trip for 6 nights in the DR of which 3 nights were at BB and 3 nights at FOD which makes it my second visit to both places in the past 3 months. I have been to BBs 15 times over the past 4 years. Quick opinion is that I continue to like both places which have pros and cons but to me are both better than trolling for talent in Sosua. I am planning on another week trip Aug 2-9 and I will again split my time. I like a number of chicas at BBs who do not really work elsewhere and I like a lot of chicas at FOD who either used to work at BBs but prefer not to or have been pushed out.
At BBs there is no doubt that John has been improving the infrastructure. However the fact that the pool was empty during my last stay (which was very hot days) was a major disappointment, esp as repairs seems to going very slowly but I understand it is now fixed. Otherwise, I noticed new AC units, new upholstery, a bit better food and they have now converted the large suites on the first floor to true 2 bedroom units by enclosing the second bed and giving it AC. As for chicas, there are lots of new ones, generally slimmer than the past and lots of good selection. Prices went up to 1500 pesos short time and 3000 TLN but that is still very reasonable in my view. John at BB is seeking to have more new talent present at BB as well as push out girls that have gotten a bit heavy. I agree with the focus on thin (flaca) chicas but I do miss many of my old favorites at BB. However, if you know an outside girl you can bring them into BB for the night as long as they were not banned in the past for major violations like drugs etc.
Girls at BB. My favorite there is Maria Isabelle who I spent 3 nights with. While maybe a 7-8 for looks and slightly older than some, she gets a 10+ for attitude. Very energetic, the best DFK in my life and most things are on the menu. I also saw a new 19 yr old girl called Wendy who has no kids (a rarity) and could be one of the most beautiful girls ever at BB. Very new and very timid so needs to loosen up but the body was smoking. Also some of the new BB girls now want to do a CBJ which is the first time I have seen that ever at BB. If this is an issue for you ask in advance. Also did several short times with a girl named Aleima (Aly for short) who was also 19 or 20 and smoking hot like Wendy but much more animated in bed than Wendy. No CBJ and very receptive to all types of activity even though she had only been there a few weeks. The mamasans (Luchy and Rosalba) are very helpful if you need it. There is a bit of grousing by the girls about the fines if they miss a meeting or scheduled work day but that is par for the course. I think the criticism I have seen mooted on this board and others about the BB's new rules for chicas etc is overstated. The reality is that the place runs well.
After 3 nights at BB, I moved to FOD. Since I rent a car every trip (as I think anyone who come here should do given the cost of taxis) the purported “isolation” of the place is not an issue. It is isolated only if you are on foot. If you have a car it is SUBSTANTIALLY more convenient for access to Sosua, Puerto Plata, Cabarete and Playa Dorado than BB’s in Costambar which is a well to the west of the city and away down a very bad road. A much better beach than Costambar is very close as is Playa Dorado’s golf course and discos. In fact I consider it a plus that people rarely just wander by for a visit as is the case in BB where anyone from Costambar can enter and eat and drink. It makes FOD more private than BB which means playing around with the chicas in the pool or Jacuzzi is no problem at all. The girls are frequently topless which is fine. In fact that lack of picky rules is one of the pluses about FOD. The place is also reasonably busy – each time I was there 50-75% of the 18 rooms were occupied and early in one week FOD had 3x as many guests as BBs which was nearly empty.
At FOD there is no set schedule for the chicas and no organized activities like disco and volleyball as at BB. The mamasan is named Angelina and she is there everyday and generally makes sure that there are chicas around during the day sufficient for the number of guests. Many guests at FOD make their own chica arrangements or go to Sosua so the number of chicas “hanging” at FOD declines earlier in evening than at BB. So if you find something you like during the day, take her for the night. The girls only pay Angelina if they have a client and it is something like 200 pesos for short time and 300 for the night.
Other aspects of FOD vs BB:
- Rooms are similar clean to BB but most are smaller and cheaper at only $47. The FOD suites are excellent and many similar priced rooms at BB. They cost $70 to 110. FOD has nice flat screen TV’s in many rooms, electricity is more reliable (across from Playa Dorado helps!), and the water pressure and hot water is excellent (much better than BB). Alberto, the owner has been doing a lot of improvements to the facility.
- Pool and Jacuzzi. FOD pool is nicer than BB’s mostly because of its waterfall and the fact that chicas can swim topless. There are also a few comfy lounge beds around the pool which are great for some discrete foreplay with the chicas. BB’s Jacuzzi is better than FOD as it is bigger and more private and has more jets and bubbles. Alberto is talking about enclosing the FOD Jacuzzi which would be good.
- Bar and Food. The bar at FOD is very nice with granite tops, flat screen TVs and nice stools and tables, strong internet access both wireless and via two machines. The BB bar generally has more going on with locals drinking there. In terms of food, BB is superior. FOD food is quite good and prices similar to BBs but the menu is more limited.
I was with 2-3 chicas everyday I was at FOD including 2 different ones for TLN. Prices are pretty much the same as BB (I never discussed prices with the girls and just paid them the 1500/3000 BB levels and they were very happy. I also bought drinks and food for them. About half of the chicas I saw there were former BB chicas who left on their own or were pushed out recently. This includes several that I know and like such as Elizabeth (Baby), Wendy, Jacqueline, India, Santa, Morena, Jennifer, Josie and Serina. I spent two nights with Elizabeth who is my favorite and one night with Wendy. Both were outstanding with very hot bodies and totally enthusiastic attitudes. Wendy is a total sex maniac. There are also lots of other chicas there and I did short times with Rosa (mid 20s, very fit body and everything on the menu), Angela (20yr old and super hot but a bit more timid and new) and another girl named Jara I think who was late 20s but super enthusiastic. My impression is the chicas at FOD are less restrictive than some at BB as no one at FOD wanted to give a CBJ.
I would encourage regular visitors of BB’s to at least try FOD for a few days taking note of my points above. It is of benefit to all mongers to support two businesses of this type in Puerto Plata.

Thanks, JPYank, for your very thoughtful, detailed and balanced review of Barba Negra and Field of Dreams. I entirely agree with your conclusion that it is in our interests to support both places. Although they offer slightly different experiences they are obviously in competition and the competition is working in that both owners are constantly improving their premises.
I hope your comments about cars at Field of Dreams will not deter those like me who are nervous about driving in the DR. I have stayed at Field of Dreams many times (once for an eleven-week stretch) and never found the lack of my own transport any handicap as it is a three-minute walk to the main highway and public transport is frequent, fast and cheap.
I can see that a car might be more necessary at Barba Negra but then there is so much going on there that short-stay guys may not feel the urge to go off campus.
Thanks also to Ponderosa for his excellent review of Barba Negra.

JP Yank and Ponderosa:
Nice reports with a lot of up to date information. I return to the DR July 27 for 6 nights and will try FOD for a few nights and will be renting a car. I love having the freedom of a car. While driving can be a little crazy it is still worth it. Thanks again guys.

The place is also reasonably busy – each time I was there 50-75% of the 18 rooms were occupied and early in one week FOD had 3x as many guests as BBs which was nearly empty.
At FOD there is no set schedule for the chicas and no organized activities like disco and volleyball as at BB. The mamasan is named Angelina and she is there everyday and generally makes sure that there are chicas around during the day sufficient for the number of guests. Many guests at FOD make their own chica arrangements or go to Sosua so the number of chicas "hanging" at FOD declines earlier in evening than at BB. So if you find something you like during the day, take her for the night. The girls only pay Angelina if they have a client and it is something like 200 pesos for short time and 300 for the night.
Other aspects of FOD vs BB:
- Rooms are similar clean to BB but most are smaller and cheaper at only $47. The FOD suites are excellent and many similar priced rooms at BB. They cost $70 to 110. FOD has nice flat screen TV’s in many rooms, electricity is more reliable (across from Playa Dorado helps! ), and the water pressure and hot water is excellent (much better than BB). Alberto, the owner has been doing a lot of improvements to the facility.
- Pool and Jacuzzi. FOD pool is nicer than BB’s mostly because of its waterfall and the fact that chicas can swim topless. There are also a few comfy lounge beds around the pool which are great for some discrete foreplay with the chicas. BB’s Jacuzzi is better than FOD as it is bigger and more private and has more jets and bubbles. Alberto is talking about enclosing the FOD Jacuzzi which would be good.
- Bar and Food. The bar at FOD is very nice with granite tops, flat screen TVs and nice stools and tables, strong internet access both wireless and via two machines. The BB bar generally has more going on with locals drinking there. In terms of food, BB is superior. FOD food is quite good and prices similar to BBs but the menu is more limited.
I was with 2-3 chicas everyday I was at FOD including 2 different ones for TLN. Prices are pretty much the same as BB (I never discussed prices with the girls and just paid them the 1500/3000 BB levels and they were very happy. I also bought drinks and food for them. About half of the chicas I saw there were former BB chicas who left on their own or were pushed out recently. This includes several that I know and like such as Elizabeth (Baby), Wendy, Jacqueline, India, Santa, Morena, Jennifer, Josie and Serina. I spent two nights with Elizabeth who is my favorite and one night with Wendy. Both were outstanding with very hot bodies and totally enthusiastic attitudes. Wendy is a total sex maniac. There are also lots of other chicas there and I did short times with Rosa (mid 20s, very fit body and everything on the menu), Angela (20yr old and super hot but a bit more timid and new) and another girl named Jara I think who was late 20s but super enthusiastic. My impression is the chicas at FOD are less restrictive than some at BB as no one at FOD wanted to give a CBJ.
I would encourage regular visitors of BB’s to at least try FOD for a few days taking note of my points above. It is of benefit to all mongers to support two businesses of this type in Puerto Plata.Thanks for the very informative report. It was good to here that some of the girls were doing good. One thing stood out in your report, the part about no CBJ. Morenas fine ass always did CBJ, so I might go there just to get a BBBJ from her, and you are right I've never been with baby but her attitude is the best. Thanks
Fellow deviants,
I am 4 days away from my return to POP/Sosua after a 7 month hiatus (that's a long time for me!). I've just got a couple of quick questions, the answers to which I have forgotten as a result of my stints in Rio, Bogota and Medellin over the past months.
1. What time does Cristal's open and when is the best time to go? Is the price the same for all girls (about $140 with the exit fee) or does it vary? I've taken out from there 3 or 4 times, I just can't remember!
2. Ocean World Casino and disco. Do any of the pro girls hang out there or just vacationing foreigners? Has anyone had any luck there? At what rate? I've only been here once, ironically, with a girl I picked up from Cristal's!
3. Are there any other "Cristal's" type clubs in POP where one can go for a fish in a barrel type atmosphere? Even on a lower scale, like a place where only locals go, small bars, etc along the Malecon (if along the Malecon, where specifically...its a long stretch).
I'm just planning a couple of stops to Blackbeard's maybe Thursday evening and Friday night, but not staying there...hope to meet up with some of you then and swap stories, cervezas! I'll have one night at the Field of Dreams Inn, then 5 in a villa in Sosua.
Thanks,
Rodeo

Well, the obvious one is El Bohen. Pricing similar to Cristal but IMHO nowhere near as nice an atmosphere. I think the physical L-shape of the place is partly responsible.

RodeoDowntown Puerto Plata, there is a Local place called Los Maria, more a Merenge type bar were locals go. 2 Bouncers with metal detectors at the door. Had a good choice of girls when I went there, but that was 3 years ago. You can dance with the girls before making your choice, if you can do a decent merenge or other latin dance you will earns a high level of brownie points with the girls.
-If you don't speak Spanish, you will need a translator. Other recommendations, I personally wouldn't go alone and don't do the mistake that I did at the time to spend the night there, if one suit you, pay your bar fine, and bring her at your place.
-Don't know if the young taxi-cab driver who brought me there still work, but send me a P.M. and I will give you his coordonate ( name and phone # )

Rodeo
I am reliably informed that it opens at 8pm but it's best after 10pm.
Just got back from BB's on the 4th weekend. I saw some past friends and met some nice gentlemen from the board. Once again a great trip, I really like BB's, its just perfect for what I like. The staff and ladies are great for what has to be a tough job. My trip is typical of the other reports that have been written in the last few posts.
I did have a bad experience with Cristal's. Myself and another gentleman decided to go to El Bohen and Cristal's Sunday night. I knew the girls at BB's wouldn't appreciate us ( hey I cant blame them) taking girls back but after some discussion we decided to bring some girls back to BB's anyways. We should of just stayed there. We went to both places and decided to pick two girls from Cristal's. We payed the 140 dollars (5000 pesos) and got in a cab and went back to BB's. The first thing that went wrong was that damn security guard was nowhere to be found, we were standing around looking for somebody to give their ID's to, which wasn't ideal. Finally we just said hell with it and went up to our rooms without the girls seeing security. The session was good but about an hour and a half into it I heard a ton of commotion coming from outside. Well I don't speak Spanish but I knew it wasn't good and since I never heard that before at BB's I knew it had to be the other Cristal's girl. About 5 minutes later I got the security guy banging on my door and the other girl running into my room and everybody is speaking Spanish so I have no idea what is going on and within another 2 minutes they were heading out. Apparently the other gentleman and girl got into mini-argument or she just was ripping him off and wasn't going to stay. Not sure how security found my room. But hey I learned an expensive lesson between Cab, girl fee's, beer prices at those places, etc.
It was late (maybe 2:00AM) so myself and the other gentleman grabbed a few beers from our fridge and went down stairs. It was my last night so I wasn't happy....and just then one of my favorite BB girls was still around and she asked if I wanted her to stay all night. So I took her up on the offer. She gave us some good-natured kidding about bring in outside girls and our experience, she had both of us laughing our ass off. I remembered why I like BB's so much because of awesome girls like her.

Downtown Puerto Plata, there is a Local place called Los Maria, more a Merenge type bar were locals go.
I only have a superficial knowledge of Puerto Plata (though I hope to eventually become an expert after I move there shortly) but I would be very surprised if that place still existed as I have never heard of it. Three years in the DR is like three decades in the US or UK when it comes to businesses opening or closing.
I have recently heard of a good new bar near La Javilla which I suspect is the former Galactica re-opened under another name. Anyone have better info?
And those other places you wrote about in the past, the local places near the docks (or port).
Rodeo was asking about "Cristal type places".
Those three bars close to each other in the street called Pentración al Muelle (near the junction with the main highway to Santiago and the opposite end of that street from the docks) couldn't be more different from Cristals. Small, crowded at night, a few ugly chicas which might appeal to Dominicans but with a very occasional diamond in the rough. And cheap - 300 salida and 800 short-time is the gringo price (rather different to Cristals!). I once paid 200+600 which is the local price. One is called Ilusion, one is El Consulador, cannot remember the name of the third.
We tip the waiter or bouncer to put a table outside.

Sorry, guys. I may have unwittingly misled you there. The two attractive chicas in the photo were not from those bars. In fact I have never seen a chica that pretty in any of the three bars.
Another bar that is upmarket from those three (in ambiance and prices) but still classes below Cristal is "Babilon". A couple of hundred yards from La Javilla on the left along the main carretera in the direction of Sosúa.

I've taken out from there 3 or 4 times, I just can't remember!Obviously we know that it opens at night, but I seem to remember, maybe about a year and a half ago, just happened to be passing by Cristal's in the mid afternoon (can't recall the day of the week, was it a weekend thing??), the main bar area wasn't open, but the outside bar and pond area was. There had to be at least 8 or 9 girls there. I don't know if that is a regular occurrence or if I just got lucky that day, there was a birthday cake there for one of the chicas. Maybe one of the Puerta Plata experts could shed some additional light on the subject.

Just out of curiosity, who was the BB girl with the sense of humor?One thing I am terrible with is names, I will spend three nights with a girl and I am still not sure of her name. Something I need to work on. Anyway I think her name is Mary she is only about 5 foot tall, blonde hair and looks Asian. I maybe way off with the name but she was so much fun.
If anyone can give me some info on FOD and the girls there. Do they have the same prices as BB and do they have they own bikini contest. I need to know what time the girls arrive and what time they leave FOD. I also want to know if you can take girls from there and will they charge you. I heard some of the girls from BB is over there but do they have a nice selection. I will be down there in Oct and I want to know is there any other thing to do at FOD after the girls leave for the night and if they have a spot you can go pick up some non-pros and bring them back to your room. Last but least how much do the rooms cost at FOD. Can someone please help me on this so I will know what to expect.
Thanks

It is open in the pool bar during the day. And I have an amiga who works there and she has to be at work at 9 pm so I'm guessing that is when they open in the evenings.

I have been twice to FOD in the past month. Girls generally show up in the late morning and are there throughout the day until maybe 9pm. The bar and restaurant stay open late but if you want a girl for the night you need to choose or they will assume you do not care and go elsewhere to make money. The mamasan Angelina is there daily I think and can get you anything you want or find others. Number of girls is related to number of guests at the hotel. There are not set prices so basically negotiation but I have paid the BB rate level of 1500 ST or 3000 TDN and that is fine. There is no bikini contest unless you want to organize one and offer up prize money. That has been done in the past. In an FOD bikini contest, I have no doubt they would strip and suck your cock next to the pool if the prize is right. The girls that are there include a lot of former BB's girls including some very good ones. Angelina has a pretty good assortment and I have been very satisfied. You can take them out no problem and bring in your own girls from elsewhere and no one checks anything. As for non-pros, you are on your own but the city is not far. Most single rooms at FOD are around $45 and are nice.

Out of curiosity by any chance can anyone give me some info on the Mustang Ranch and how are the girls there. What prices are they talking about and can you tell me the prices of the rooms. I have never been there but I would like to try it when I come down in Oct. We is going to Sosusa, FOD, and BB. I would like to know if you guys can help us with a couple more places where we can pick up some nice girls and have a good time. We will be down for a week so we have some time to get around. If anyone have a website or phone number for the Mustang Ranch I would appreciate if you can post it for me so I can look into visiting there.

I am going down toPuerto Plata for the first time. been To CR.many times Iwant to try something new. I would like to know were tostay girl friendy hotel bars andclubs and other placeses.
I would recommend reading the Puerto Plata and Sosua threads, then ask more specific questions. Without being rude, you need to do a little homework first.
POP (Puerto Plata) airport serves both Puerto Plata and Sosua.
Sosua is a small tourist town with wall-to-wall hookers. Look in the threads for hotels. The atmosphere is a bit too hardcore (for my taste). Buyer beware. For those who like to troll the streets/bars til dawn to get a "good deal" and save a few bucks.
POP is little/no "night life" or clubs for gringos. Mostly "normal" women, but you can talk most easily into bed.
In POP for most newcomers (how's your Spanish?) most recommend Blackbeards or a new place Field of Dreams Inn.
BB is similar in nature to the Blue Marlin in San Jose. Girls on site. Good for non-Spanish speakers, and those new to the scene. Controlled, with screening to eliminate crazies, thieves, druggies, infected, etc.
Some (like me) rarely have to leave.
(I prefer eating fish all day to fishing all day).
Study the threads a bit, come back with specific questions.

I heard that FOD has wireless internet and food during the day, and I need to get online during the day while I'm in POP so I'm hoping to go there and do some internet time and get a bite to eat and a drink or two. (I'm staying in the casa of my novia)
My question is this, while I "am working", does FOD offer a short time day rate for a room? Like a cabanna rate? It would be a perfect fit for me to run over, do a little internet time, a little chica time, and then grab a bite before heading back to the apartment for some familiar in POP.

I think the FOD will suit your requirements very well. All of the above available! I intend to use it for the same reason myself.

Looking to make my first official overseas monger excursions. I understand some local health department offers vacinnations appropriate to the country you are visiting. Any feedback on this?I assume you are going to Puerto Plata area as you have posted in that forum?
I would recommend Hepatititis A & B and Tetanus.
They usually try to push protection against malaria as it shows up as endemic in the DR on World Health Organization data but, trust me, you do not need it if you are staying in tourist areas on the North Coast.
If you are going off the beaten track and into the deepest campo you might consider malaria and rabies protection but as this is your maiden trip I assume you will not be doing this.
Do whatever you need to avoid mosquito bites (creams, sprays, covering up, etc). Some guys seem more vulnerable than others to them. Dengue fever from day-biting mosquitoes is an outside risk but a very real threat. Dengue can be serious, even fatal, and you cannot immunise for it in advance.
Drink only bottled water and don't eat salad or fruits washed in the public water supply. I even brush my teeth with bottled water though many feel that is going too far. Depends what immunities you may have built up living overseas previously, maybe in the services.
What else have I forgotten guys?
I certainly wouldn't count on it either but I have done it twice. Alcohol makes me very,very stupid and apparently it makes some of the chicas stupid also.I am considering going to BB in August. This would be my first time in the DR. Do the chica do BBBJ or CIM for that matter? Or is that also off limit.

It would be a perfect fit for me to run over, do a little internet time, a little chica time, and then grab a bite before heading back to the apartment for some familiar in POP.When I was there in April I asked Billy on the ride in from the airport about WIFI at the hotel and he told me they have it but due to the thick reinforced concrete wall construction I would not pick up a signal in the rooms but if I was outside the room I would pick it up no problem. I couldn't pick it up anywhere on the premises and ended up using one of the "house" computers for my entire trip. I mentioned the problem to Alberto the owner and he said he would look into it. I haven't been back since so I don't know about the current situation but based on other situations I would bet Alberto took care of the problem. FOD's regular room rate is low enough where I can't imagine them offering a short term rate.
I am considering going to BB in August. This would be my first time in the DR. Do the chica do BBBJ or CIM for that matter? Or is that also off limit.
If you don't talk about it before hand, it can be hit or miss. I have been experiencing more CBJ lately than I did when I first went to BBs (I usually just go with the flow of things). I can't prove it but I think it is because of the health talks the girls get.
If both BBBJ and CIM are important to you, talk to the chica about it before you seal the deal or talk to the mammasom and you will be pointed in the right direction.
Hey guys,
This thread has always been useful to keep up to date with the changes in the scenes. Remember yanqui and ponderosas reports helping me a lot before.
I'm going to return to DR in September for first time in over a year, just had a few questions really. I'm not sure to go for BBs again, try FOD or just Sosua.
Given that many of the old guard of BBs chicas have left/been sacked, what is the general consensus on the current crop. Are there any potential superstars? (names would help! ) And is there still a good amount of "fuller" chicas? I'm not into the La Passions type of thin, no chest/no hips girls that BBs fills out its roster with, and would only return if it had a true variety, and good performers.
Has the new mamasan made a difference? Or Paco leaving? The changes better or worse?
And regarding FOD (I may go here or sosua after BBs). Is it realistically viable to spend a few days here without a car? Id only be happy to stay on site if there were a lot of chicas hanging around like BBs, and the facilities comfortable enough to warrant being lazy!
Thanks for any reponse.
I was on BB a few weeks ago and I liked the changes there.The new mamasan is very nice and smart. They have new activities with the girls, They remodelings in most rooms and the new girls are realy pretty and there is much variety.No matters how you like it but they are all nice.

And regarding FOD (I may go here or sosua after BBs). Is it realistically viable to spend a few days here without a car? Id only be happy to stay on site if there were a lot of chicas hanging around like BBs, and the facilities comfortable enough to warrant being lazy!
Thanks for any reponse.
Well, it so happens I'm headed down there next week to check it out myself.
I stayed at FOD a couple of years ago, before the changes.
In advance I can say that without a car at FOD, you are indeed isolated, as nothing is in walking distance. Plan on staying put a while or using cabs. (I don't like waiting around for a bus just to buy some groceries). The facilities are/were very comfortable, and the only question is the selection/availability of girls and quality of food/drink.
I too am curious about the new girls, though I understand a few of my "favorites" are still there.
Will post a report the first week of August.
A lot of guys swear by Sosua, and if you haven't tried it for a few days/nights, you should probably give it a try, so you can add it or scratch it from your list.
I have explained my reasons for preferring to have it all on-site versus trolling the clubs/streets. Mostly to do with limited time and patience. My personal preference is to spend the time with chicas, rather than looking for them.
Will post upon my return.
Hey guys,
This thread has always been useful to keep up to date with the changes in the scenes. Remember yanqui and ponderosas reports helping me a lot before.
I'm going to return to DR in September for first time in over a year, just had a few questions really. I'm not sure to go for BBs again, try FOD or just Sosua.
Given that many of the old guard of BBs chicas have left/been sacked, what is the general consensus on the current crop. Are there any potential superstars? (names would help! ) And is there still a good amount of "fuller" chicas? I'm not into the La Passions type of thin, no chest/no hips girls that BBs fills out its roster with, and would only return if it had a true variety, and good performers.

Mohoo,
There is still a good variety of chicas at BBs. I only spent 2 days of my five days there on my trip a couple weeks ago and there were about 1/2 old guard chicas(there over 6 months) and 1/2 new (less than 6 months). The new mamasan is making a her presence felt and the girls respect her. As to names of the new favorites, I only sampled a couple and was well pleased, but superstars? Not yet. The new rules are assuring more chicas available day and evening and the new pricing structure is in effect. Paco being gone has really not changed anything. Heck I still miss David and Tim.
I didn't have the guts to do FOD this last trip but I did stop in though and saw some chicas in the afternoon, some ex-BBs. The accommodantions were very nice. Read JP Yanks recent trip report from FOD and I know him well enough to tell you that it is fair and unbiased. He seemed to like the place. I may do a day or two there on my next trip down for a change of pace. I have wheels when I go down, so being in a location that requires a little effort in getting around doesn't bother me with FOD. You really are only a short cab ride to PP for groceries, cervesas and the like.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah yanqui, I went to Sosua after my time at BB's last year, and ended up staying there for 2 weeks! Its OK there, I kinda liked the general groove and feel of the place more than the actual hunt. Maybe getting robbed put me off the chicas there! I liked chilling in the bars and playing pool and becoming a local instead. So for chicas I think I might opt for BB's again, upon a posetive report from yourself of course!
Ponderosa. That all sounds great. I like the idea of more girls in the daytime shift. That's when I am more in the mood for variety, leaving the night time for generally one chica across my stay. So that's great, and If the mamasan is good nowadays then I may ask her advice if she has more influence. Something I've never done.
I always thought the night time was a slight let down. Many chicas sure, but too many guys acting up, and the girls more on the hustle. I preferred to escape with a girl to the Italian, or Playa Dorada instead. It just seems more chlled out and laid back during the day. And the girls have more time it seems, so you can indulge and give them a nice massage etc.
Anyway, thanks for the replies, helpful as ever. I look forward to yanqui's report, and of course will be reporting myself also!
To yanqui69. Thank youIt help me alot. I do Speak spanish well. And I do like To dance when igo on vacation. I ThinkI will go to Sosua first. It seed that it has more to do.
Sorry for the bump, but I thought its something worthwhile that anybody who hasnt been to BBs before might peruse. Basically some good phone numbers and details of the other eaiting options etc within walking distance.
Got myself a booking for start of Sep.
Anyone planning to visit BB (Barbra Negra) in Costambar might be interested in the local on line rag. http://www.popreport.com/costambarmonthly/index.html
It might give you an idea of what's available within walking distance, in case you want a break.
you can gleam some real gems from RingTFF!
As a newbie, after reading through all BB versus FOD reports I decided to go with FOD for the following reasons:
1. FOD has better rooms and facilities then BB according to the pros. But, also I read BB is making some major improvements.
2. FOD is private due to the fact of its seclusion.
3. In recent months, seems FOD chicas are less restrictive then BB chicas (i.e. cbj versus bbbj).
4. I am only there for 4 days so I am not too concern about how far the grocery store is or anything else for that matter, more concern that they have good chicas.
But, I am concerned about the mosquitoes issue.
So for my first visit to the Puerto Plata, I have chosen FOD over BB but maybe on future visits I will also try BB.
What are my transportation options to get to FOD from Santiago airport? Pricing? How far is the airport from FOD?
Thanks in advance for the information.
Can anyone give me some info on Club Cristals. I need to know how much it is to take the girl out of the club (salida) fee and is that price is included with the girl or you still have to pay to bang the girl also. Also how much do it cost if you stay in the club and bang the girl and do you also have to pay for the room thats in the club or is it added with the fee of the girl. Last question fellas can anyone tell me if BB went up on there prices for the girls or is it still the same rate. If they went up whats the new prices in $USD.

Thanks in advance for the information.
I've never done it but if I were you I would take a taxi from the airport to Caribbe Tours bus station, bus to Puerto Plata (one hour) then taxi to FoD. I'm guessing but $50 should cover the trip. It's a pity you are not landing at POP 'cos FoD is only a 20 minute taxi ride from there.
My 2 cents,
As a newbie, after reading through all BB versus FOD reports I decided to go with FOD for the following reasons:
1. FOD has better rooms and facilities then BB according to the pros. But, also I read BB is making some major improvements.
FOD has nicer rooms, but BBs rooms are not bad at all. The improvements at BBs facilities has been positive, most notably A/C in the main building when the power goes out. Lino did FOD a favor with the improvements he made while he was the "temporary" owner there.
FODs basic rooms are rather small, even smaller than BBs standard single. If you end up at BBs, get the delux single, the extra room is worth the few buck more.
2. FOD is private due to the fact of its seclusion.
FOD is secluded, but so is BBs. FOD is off the main highway from POP airport to Puerto Plata down an asphalt driveway you can see from the road. It is surrounded and enclosed by a 8 ft wall for privacy.
BBs is in the gated comunity of Costambar, and is also enclosed and surrounded by a wall. In my book the privacy issue is the same.
3. In recent months, seems FOD chicas are less restrictive then BB chicas (i.e. cbj versus bbbj).
This could be the case or it could be luck of the draw. If this is important to you, discuss these areas before hand with the chica or mamason at whichever place you choose to stay.
4. I am only there for 4 days so I am not too concern about how far the grocery store is or anything else for that matter, more concern that they have good chicas.
FOD will have less chicas than BBs. BBs has 20+ chicas on day and night shift. I think FOD would have trouble getting anywhere close to this. FOD is close to Sosua and there is a plentiful supply there to bring back, but if you are looking for on site girls, BBs wins hands down.
But, I am concerned about the mosquitoes issue.
My personal feeling is that this is not a concern and has been overblown.
So for my first visit to the Puerto Plata, I have chosen FOD over BB but maybe on future visits I will also try BB.
Enjoy yourself.

What are my transportation options to get to FOD from Santiago airport? Pricing? How far is the airport from FOD?
Thanks in advance for the information.
STI airport is a good hour and a quarter or more from FOD by the main roads.
Your options are:
1. Cab it the whole way at $80 to $100+ one way(correct me if I am off here).
2. Take a cab to Metro or Caribe Bus lines in Santiago, bus it to Puerto Plata, then cab or motoconcho to FOD. RogerDodger is probably right here on costs at less than $50.
http://www.caribetours.com.do
No Metro site I could find. Google for phone numbers.
3. Rent a car and drive. Do this only if you feel comfortable and I do not recomend this for the outright newbie. Get a feel of the driving there before you venture on your own. These people drive crazy and motoconchos are even worse.
If you rent a car, I recommend sticking with the major companies and at least get extra liabiliy coverage (usually your credit card will cover your car, but check this out first).
I have had pretty good luck with rental car pricing through this site:
http://www.vacationoutlet.com and click on the car rentals tab.
There are limo services available, but I do not know if they are any cheaper than a taxi.

I read your comment. I DON'T KNOW YOU BUT TRUST ME, I WOULD GO TO BLACKBEARDS FOR MY FIRST TRIP! YOU WILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER FIRST STAY. FOD is good once you have been down a couple times and then want to try something new. The guys compare bb's and FOD because they've all been to Blackbeards quite a few times and looking for an alternative. BB's has more girls and everything you need for a first timer in that area, restaurants, grocery store, pharmarcy etc. Just about everyone on this thread has been to BB's and that's where everyone has met each other before moving on and expanding their horizons. BLACKBEARDS WILL BREAK YOU IN THE CORRECT WAY AND GET YOU INTO THE FLOW OF THINGS. No disrepect to FOD. And as a matter of fact the majority of the girls at FOD are former BB's girls so....BB's is home base. Just my opinion from my experience.

I am sure you will enjoy yourself either way, but it IS convenient to be able to go out on foot and get something like bottles of water to brush your teeth and keep in your room, or other minor items (BB also has a nearby pharmacy.) BB's is also situated at the beach and in a pleasant area for walking about where there are many beautiful trees and flowering shrubs, locals to meet, and so on. This may not matter, but even in four days you can get a bit stir crazy, especially if there are not many other guys around. It is very hot in the DR at this time of year and the BB area gets more ocean breeze and has more shady trees.
I have stayed at both BB and FOD in the past, and now I prefer to stay at neither, so I have no particular axe to grind, but I think BB is a better choice for a first visit.
Seeing as everyone is offering their 2 cents.
For a first time, Id suggest BBs also.
Even if your going to spend all 4 days based inside the hotel grounds, not caring about how far the pharmacy is, or how far removed from everything is. I think BBs will suit a first time visit better. 4 days is a long time to be looking at a limited selection of girls. And it will seem even longer if your not too happy with the selection at FOD, or you have a problem with one.
Whereas BBs has a different selection at night as well as day, and it changes a bit from day to day also.
And 4 days with not as many other guys to hang with could get a bit dull too, at BBs theres always going to be guys around to shoot the breeze with, and stiing at the bars there tends to be a nice social experience imo.
And I'm fairly sure that the quality of the facilities isn't going to be a massive gilf between the two. I was very comfortable at BBs in a single deluxe.
Anyway, of course, thats just an opinion, I'm sure you will have a ball no matter what you choose. Theres probably very little to choose between the two. Enjoy!
I've got my own quick question: does anyone have experience of large chested Giselle from BBs? Quick review?

Four days could very easily be split between them. They are just a short cab ride apart. Two nights at each would make you as much of an expert as anybody.
Can anyone give me some info on Club Cristals. I need to know how much it is to take the girl out of the club (salida) fee and is that price is included with the girl or you still have to pay to bang the girl also. Also how much do it cost if you stay in the club and bang the girl and do you also have to pay for the room thats in the club or is it added with the fee of the girl. Last question fellas can anyone tell me if BB went up on there prices for the girls or is it still the same rate. If they went up whats the new prices in $USD.Check several posts down and look for my username for a full report, it maybe worth it to you if your thinking about taking them out. I was just there about a month ago. Quick answer 140US (5000 pesos) to take them out and it includes the "act". 100US to stay there.

Giselle, great attitude, wanted me to go several rounds for a short time, took control. Great experience but was CBJ with me, which kinda of surprised me.

A good friend of mine, and of Ponderosa, is there now and is staying 2 days in each. He will post when he returns in a few days. He has been to FOD in days of old and to BB's numerous times. He will give an honest evaluation of both.
I think 2 days in each is a good choice. Staying at BB's for the entire trip is the BEST choice. My first (of over 18+ trips) to BB's was the best experience ever. I would never trade those experiences. On my first trip I was there for 7 nights. I could not get enough of everything! I experienced things there that I never thought I would be able to do. I met (what turned out to become a very good friend) Yanqui69 who showed me the ropes and made my trip even better. There are so many guys you will meet there that will answer all of your questions and help make your short stay the best.
On your first trip there is nothing better than BB's. As Ponderosa stated there are always 20 girls around. When I am on vacation I want action when I want it and I do not want to wait or have to make plans to have a date in 4 hours etc.
I do not like to fish on vacation I want to CATCH as much fish as I can in the shortest amount of time. I like to sample as many items on the buffet whenever I am hungry. I do not want to order off the menu and then wait for my meal to come.
STI to BB's by cab $60 - $70 us. Wait until people have begun to clear out of the airport and the talk to the Taxi driver about the price etc. I have gotten to BB's for $55 us. Bus is the least expensive but may take more time.
I do not work for BB's but trust me you will have a GREAT first trip there. After that go and see what other options are out there. I was back at BB's 22 days after my first trip. It was like a drug for me.
I was at both a couple weeks ago .FOD out of the way?I doubt it its right off highway.Whats even better is its closer to the beach in Puerta Plata than Blackbeards.You guys havent picked up chics on the beach by the shopping center?Its as easy as it gets and short drive back to FOD.You just drive strip stop car and they are on sidewalk the road is 3 miles long ends at the Castle.Cristols?That place sucks but its open 10 right by the beach I drove by it 5 xs before I noticed it?Take out there?What for when Blackbeards has take out for 800 pesos.You can get girl at beach for that.Fod is alot cheaper 35 night but lets face it after you go through the lineup at either place what next?FOD is closer to beach just make sure you rent a car.

At the end of the day, I will try both places at different times. I am sure this will not be my last trip into the DR.
Hi all,
Need some info for a trip coming up in Nov, i am planning on staying at FoD, BB's and them hitting Sousa. But since I am planning on driving anyone have any good maps of all these place. I have Google mapped them and have a rough idea but this will be the first time for me driving there would like some better details and i speak not a work of Spanish.
PM me or just reply to the board is cool
Thanks

ThanksI bought a laminated Dominican Republic map from Amazon for 10.95, the map is made by a company named Borch. I never really used it. FOD is on the main highway across from Playa Dorada Complex, very easy to find. For Sosua it is the same highway, about 35 minutes away. Once you drive around Sosua one time, you will know it, it is a small town. Learn a little spanish: "Donde es Barba Negra" (Where is black beards).
On my last trip I brought down over a hundred dollars in one dollar bills. If you get lost, you can always ask some motorcycle taxi (motoconcho) or a taxi driver to show you the way and you can follow them, I wouldn't suggest this for long distances, but for a short distance it is ok. You can overpay by giving the motoconcho driver three dollars for his effort. I found it useful to have a bunch of one dollar bills in my pocket, where I could reach into my pocket and pay/tip, one to three dollars depending upon the situation. People are friendly there and readily try to help with directions. I have gotten lost many times driving, more so in Santiago. zamoforo is traffic light, doble is turn, izquierda is left, derecha is right and derecho is straight. Buy the map for peace of mind but more than likely you will not need it.
28 July to 1 August 2009 Comparison Trip to BB and FOD
Report:
MONEY EXCHANGE:
POP Airport exchange kiosk rate: 32.3
Airport unofficial money changer: 35
BB: 34
Jenny’s 35.9
FOD: “you can try at Playa Dorada”
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: Very Similar
Both: A central swimming pool, overlooked by a bar/restaurant area, surrounded by rooms. (FOD is currently all ground-level rooms). All enclosed and accessed only through the reception area).
FOD: Attractive bar/dining area, 20-ft marble bar (if that matters to you), TV, 2 computer stations, pool table, darts, etc. There is a Jacuzzi, but it is smaller, and not enclosed.
BB: (For new guys) Pretty much the same. Bar is smaller. One computer station. (Didn’t try the WI-FI at either one, though am told they both have it). New furniture in the dining area, with glass on the table tops.
LOCATION: This debate depends entirely on one’s taste and how one defines “isolated.”
BB is located in Costambar, far from Puerto Plata, Sosua, etc.
Costambar is a quiet, mostly residential area. A few restaurants off-site, no other night life. On the other hand, if you aren’t driving, you can walk to the supermarket (Jenny’s) or pharmacy in 5 minutes, to change money, buy water, or whatever in the market or condoms, generic Viagra, Cialis at the pharmacy. You can walk around the corner to get a pizza or try one of the places on the beach.
The Costambar beach is 5 minutes walk away. Its not Sosua beach. Its quiet (usually have the place all to yourself during the week) and pleasant. Can buy a beer, rent a cot and stretch out with a girl in the shade. If you want crowds, and to pick up chicas at the beach, then its Sosua you want.
FOD is just 4-5 miles east of Puerto Plata, about 5-6 miles west of the airport, 8-9 miles from Sosua, across the road from Playa Dorada all-inclusive. It is centrally located, - but you can’t walk anywhere but Playa Dorada. One could walk to the beach area in Playa Dorada in 10-15 minutes.
If you want to buy water, tooth paste, try a restaurant, bar, etc., you need a taxi/rental car. A taxi was usually seen in the parking lot at FOD. So according to my definition of “accessible” FOD was centrally located, but accessing anything needed wheels, not feet. It would be easy (and safer) to conduct “expeditions” to party in Puerto Plata or Sosua and return with a girl by taxi to FOD. It is not as visible from the street, so, yes chicas can go topless in the pool. If one wanted to “get away” from the pace at BB, FOD is more laid-back.
I thought both were good, -just different atmosphere. If you want a place for a group to party and have the place pretty much to yourself, with taxis/wheels to go wherever, FOD is a pretty good choice.
ROOMS: Very similar.
FOD: Standard room= $47US + tax. Clean, well maintained. Marble floor throughout. Small (cramped) but adequate shower, washbasin, toilet area adjacent to bedroom. TV, safe, AC, ceiling fan. (The rooms have small fridges, - but just my luck, my room didn’t, so no comment on whether they have ‘mini-bars”).
BB: Had both a “Deluxe Single” and Standard.
Deluxe Standard= $60US+tax; Standard= $55+tax.
I hadn’t stayed in a Standard for a few years, because the Deluxe rooms in the main building had power when the electricity failed. Since the upgrades, I see little benefit now. The Standard bedroom was the same size, same features as FOD. The bathroom however, was much larger. All tiled, the shower area was spacious, with 2 removable showerheads and a tiled bank/ledge area where one could sit/lie down (soapy massages?). Lots of room to “shower with friends.”
Prices are comparable, but based on upgrades and bathroom, I preferred BB in this category.
FOOD: Both good.
At BB I ordered a grilled sea bass fillet in garlic sauce, potato and a side salad for 275 pesos (that’s only about 6 bucks!). I enjoyed it.
(Burgers? Don’t know. - I can get those at home).
At FOD I ordered exactly the same meal; price 365 pesos (about 10 bucks).
(To be fair, the filet was also about 40% bigger too); smaller salad. Also well prepared. I was the only guest in the dining area in both cases, and amazingly, the meal arrived at BB slightly quicker than FOD.
I had the Dominican Breakfast (eggs, ham, mashed platano (mangu) at both, with a fruit plate. Both very similar in quality/price.
GIRLS:
BB: There has been about a 90% turnover of chicas at BB, with emphasis on slim girls. A variety of looks. Girls are usually required to take a day (11-6) or night (6-1) work shift. Early in the week there are usually few guests (Tuesday-Wednesday about 3-4) so many girls are allowed to take time off, so as not to waste their time. I usually saw about 10 or so, even on the slow days. It was emphasized to me by Rosalba or Luchy, the mama-sans, to tell them which one I wanted, and they would call her in. On the weekends, as guests start arriving, the number of girls increases as well. To spend a few minutes there on one occasion does not provide an accurate impression. Like the guy who visited New York during the Blackout and said he didn’t like it because “it was too dark.” I spent time with an “old favorite”, some new; - and there were some really cute ones that didn’t show up till the morning I was leaving (as usual).
Reviews:
Hilda: An old favorite. Dark, fantastic body with full, well-toned legs and bottom and natural D or DD breasts. Very competent in bed. Friendly, laid-back. We converse in Spanish and I like her. A good gal with a good heart. (For those who can appreciate that).
Joanna: There less than a year. Petite (maybe 5 ft) with white skin, green eyes, European features, small (nice) pert breasts, -and a Dominican booty. The hair always changes, but hers was (then) straight, ash-blonde, looked good (and with green eyes, I have no idea what the color really is). Just a little “meaty” in the hips, bottom, thighs for me, -but nice and “voluptuous.” Five pounds would be a lot on that tiny frame, but if she dropped 5 and tightened up the booty just a bit, she would be HOT!
She is intelligent and we conversed a while beforehand, and “clicked” with a little chemistry, so the bedroom play was nice. (As always, YMMV).
Giselle: Medium-light skin tone, breasts are probably natural Es. I tried a little massage, but she was too ticklish and giggly for that. Very nice, friendly and accommodating. Surprised me a bit when she applied some lubricant between her Big-Uns and started me there. She must get a lot of requests for that. Very soft (and natural, as they are starting the trip down) -but when she lies on her back, its like two Astrodomes. (Get them now while they are still above her waist).
Kilsia: Cute face, blonde hair (for now). Tiny breasts and pretty, slim figure/bottom. Okay, but no fireworks (for me). YMMV.
FOD: When I walked in Thursday afternoon, there were about 10 girls around; about half formerly from BB. (Elizabeth, Wendy, Jackie, Josie, Santa, Diana, etc). FOD currently does not emphasize chicas like BB does, so its much more laid-back, less organized. (Angelita, the supposed mamsan wasn’t there during the 2 days I was around). This place at present is “pot-luck” or “bring your own.”
Wendy: Formerly at BB. Relaxed, very accommodating. Exceptional bottom and legs. As stated in another report, she is the Energizer Bunny; will keep going and going, and going… Get some rest first.
Josie: As some have called her, “Sporty Spice.” Very friendly, helpful gal. Small breasts, slim body, light caramel skin. (Hairstyle/color? What day is it?) We enjoy each others company, so was very friendly and fun in bed.
Don’t know if FOD will make chicas their major feature like BB. If they chose to do so, the competition could be fantastic for consumers, but at present, it’s not their priority.
In all other aspects, the two are very similar; but for chicas, at present BB is much better, since its much more organized, and the selection is greater.
I like FOD; I could see spending some “quality time” there with a chica, or bringing a group to have the place all to ourselves, but if I wanted a good variety of girls within arms reach or a phone call away, I have to award this point to BB.
Observations of a Generation X Curmudgeon
Newbies: I don’t know everything, but IMO you will always get back what you put in. I find if I take time to know a girl (okay, speaking Spanish helps) I have a much better time in bed. Building just a little rapport pays back with interest in bed. A girl with a first-time client doesn’t know your preferences –or whether you’re an abusive psycho. Treat her like she was your woman and she’ll treat you like you were her man.
Most chicas are there because they are poor and without opportunities, not because of your sexy self. Act like an imitation pimp, like they are only “worthless hoes” and you will get what they are obliged to provide, -but not the “little extra” they give to someone they like. Act like you are the only human being in the room and the sex is like masturbation with assistance.
I guess it’s a “maturity thing”….
What is it with “Generation Y”? A major fashion trend on the East Coast must be skinny beards and huge, fat asses and bellies. Saw them at both places. FOD: 20-something white hip-hop wannabes with the whole uniform. Baggy shorts and jerseys, the “bling” thing, and ain’t none of em seen a gym lately. Imagine Jabba the Hut with a backward baseball cap. Playing profanity-laced hip-hop at deafening volume on the bar sound system in the evening was enough to drive me from the bar. (Class is about how you consider/treat those around you). I weep for my country’s future.
Saw a couple of 30-something BUFFs at BB as well. (BUFF= Big Ugly Fat F**k). Apparently the city noise in NY and NJ has made the population deaf, cause these guys were always loud. Listening to their crude chica humor at volume in the dining area was a treat as well. Did Clemenza father all these guys? They must look for blind women to reproduce with.
Both incidents remind me of how these chicas really earn every peso they make.
These guys would repel farm animals.
And then:
Friday night, after a year apart, in walks my “ex.”
Even at BB, eyes and heads turned as she moved through to where I was sitting.
Long, shapely brown legs; high, firm, ample Dominican bubble-butt.
Slim waist, tight blouse showing off her cleavage. Add long, black hair, lip gloss.
I was toast.
Spent the rest of my last evening and night with her, -and do I need to say it was the most intense sex of the trip?
Next day, she accompanied me to the airport. She stayed to watch from the observation area. We waved as my group was walked out to the aircraft. From my window seat, I could see her there watching until the aircraft began to taxi and took her out of view.
And yet I knew that she would be working that night, to pay the bills and save up for the small business she wants to start. (She got her business degree last year, but DR jobs are few and pay poorly). Just a “worthless hoe,” right?
Makes life complicated. (At least for me it does).

Hi all,
Need some info for a trip coming up in Nov, i am planning on staying at FoD, BB's and them hitting Sousa. But since I am planning on driving anyone have any good maps of all these place. I have Google mapped them and have a rough idea but this will be the first time for me driving there would like some better details and i speak not a work of Spanish.
PM me or just reply to the board is cool
Thanks

Amigo,
Trust me, if I can pay only $29 dollars for a room, I am not about to offer them more!
Below is a cut/paste from the FOD website.
The Standard Room Rates are $46.00
The Suite prices start from $70.00 up to $110.00
All prices quoted are per night. (Service Charge and Local Taxes Included).
I posted an exact quote from Dominican Billy a couple weeks ago its 29 dollars night.If you book through him.
Book your reservations for the Field Of Dreams Inn [www.fieldofdreamsinn] through me and receive a special rate of $29.00us per night until the end of 2009.

Has anyone actually booked a room and paid only $29 lately? I think this was an earlier promotional offer and price has now gone up. Anyway, here is the Dominican FoD website. It wasn't easy to find. Seems there are loads of "Field of Dreams" out there!

As Dw1987 correctly stated, the $29 offer extends to the end of 2009 but is only available if you book through Dominican Billy using the email address Dw1987 cited (except to insert a dot instead of a comma).
If you book through the main website which Roger cited you will not benefit from this price (which I consider to be a real bargain).

I have not seen this offer.
Aside from Billy's email address, where is this to be found?
I mean, where does he make this offer, on the Harborview Condos site?
(and I have to wonder why Alberto, the FOD owner would reduce his price, uo much, just for going through Billy?)

Billy is the guy who built FOD from scratch, had the idea, bought the land, raised the capital, supervised construction - etc. Before that he ran the hotel that became BB's (it was called the Sand Trap at the time) setting it up to be resold and pioneered the idea of a 'monger' hotel resort in that location in Costambar. He's extremely knowledgable and well connected.

I don't know as I haven't talked to him in a long time, but FOD is Billy's project from scratch - it's his 'Dream' and Alberto at ANOECA handled all the investors and fund disbursement for the project. Before that it was Alberto who bought the hotel that became BB's and brought in Billy to manage it and do monger oriented web publicity so it could be flipped as a going concern. After the Crystals guy brought FOD, tried to change the business model and put it up for sale again Alberto bought it back (I'd guess at a decent profit) and it seems natural that he would get Billy involved in promoting the place again - he created it in the first place.
Just a detail, one of Billy's reasons for the location of FOD is to take advantage of the Playa Dorada electric - which is designed to give the resort complex 24/7 power. Most of the rest of the DR has constant problems with apagons (power outages). Running backup diesel generators all the time is a major expense for tourist places and in the summer (like now) AC is a must. Nights are typically pretty hot and muggy and it's hard to sleep without AC if you aren't used to it.

She's playin' you, gramps. What is up with all of these sucker ass gringos lately? Seriously, grow some balls. She's not starting any business, and you are not the only one. If you send her Western Union I'll consider it idiot tax.
I think when Yanqui69 says he knows she will be "working" that evening to save for her business he is means p4p. You must have read something in the post I didn't see if you think he is somehow being played.
As to the idea that Dominicans seriously want to start businesses - it really is about the only way for anyone to get ahead - wages are very low. There are a wider range of chicas doing p4p in the DR than in the US. Not as many are druggies, or otherwise disfunctional. More are fairly bright and ambitious. There just aren't as many choices for chicas in the DR. Which may make them better at playing guys. Complicated.

Why would you say this? There are good paying jobs for professionals in this country.
If Dominicans strived harder to apply themselves in school there are many oppurtunities here for educated people.
The problem here is that Dominicans are lazy. They are always searching for the easy way to do something. Instead of doing the right thing or the thing that will remedy the situation they just try to do enough to get by.
I know plenty of professional Dominicans that have good jobs and life here for them is living in paradise. Just as in any country, you get out of life what you are willing to put in to in.

When Yanqui69 makes a point about the young lady in question he knows what she is doing for business that night. When I met her three years ago at BB's I was very impressed by her drive and the goals she set. She put herself through college by working at BB's Fri - Sun and earned a 4 year business degree. She spent a year in a Gov't program after graduating to learn to read, write and speak english. After all that she can not find a job that pays well at all. So now she is back at BB's working to save money to start her own business. She has the drive to just that.
There have been others at BB's that have made money to pay for school, english classes or other programs to try and secure a better fututre for them and their family. The bright one's use BB's as a stepping stone to a better future.
I am not trying to make something out of nothing...just adding my 2 cents.

Maybe so, but employed workers like police, teachers, nurses, and government doctors make very low salaries. Of course doctors and dentists can make more money in the DR if they... start their own business.

PeaceYou couldn't be more wrong with the statement that an education in the DR brings opportunities. I personally know several educated Dominicans professionals that don't make squat working in their little "paradise". It has nothing to do with being lazy. It is because the country as a whole is incredibly poor and jobs pay shit there, plain and simple.

The fact is that the only people who earn a decent living are business owneres.
Get a job in a bank, in a department store, and you will make a few hun dred dollars a month. Bare subsistence. Not enough to maintain a household. Only multiple people working or singles living at home can survive those wages. Or you can work in an office and live in a shack, because you can't earn a decent wage.
You can break your back getting an education, - but then someone has to hire you. Employers know how desperate it is and know they can pay people very little because someone will always accept less.
The girl in question has a degree in business. If she is lucky she will get offered a job for a few hundred a month, -not professional wages. And for a woman, half the time a boss will only hire if "she is nice" to the boss.
True, many may be lazy, but they live in a society with rampant corruption with officials stealing at every level. Even the ones who work hard cannot get ahead, so I think many stop trying.
Maybe so, but employed workers like police, teachers, nurses, and government doctors make very low salaries. Of course doctors and dentists can make more money in the DR if they... start their own business.
Precisely.
The overall wage scale is so low, that employers can afford to pay very little.
If the employee doesn't like it, they can always find someone cheaper.
If you don't own a business, you are a low-paid wage slave.

I emailed Billy and he confiirmed the $29 dollar offer.
I don't understand how/why but he confirmed it, and he's a good guy,
so I believe it.
A good bargain.

Okay, I've cooled off. These types of exchanges are a waste of time.
Point here is I reject being insulted by one with no right to do so.
I am not a newbie and am well aware of the games played and the plight of "WU Novios." That said, at no time did I say I was sending anything. I had not communicated with the ex in many months, and she never asked me for anything. As a matter of fact, when together, I often asked "how she was doing" and she said if I wanted to offer something, fine, -but she would never ask for anything. In her own goofy form of pride, she said: "Quien pide, se humilla." or: "One who asks for something shames themselves."
So drop the WU Novio B.S., "Junior."
I noted that "Junior" has only 3 posts (all were deleted for being argumentative). Meaning he has contributed absolutely nothing to this site other than insults, and has no credibility as far as I am concerned.
Truly a waste of oxygen.
Comeback when you can offer some constructive information/tips for the group.
Till then, STFU!

Question for the BB vet's:
The last time I went to PP I stayed at FOD and had my two favoritas stay with me 24/7 for the entire trip,one of them I had to pay the 800 peso per day salida for her to leave BB's for the week. This upcoming trip I am only going to have one of them with me which is the girl that works at BB's. It is a waste to have two girls that are absolutely off the charts when it comes to sex as I only have one d**k and I'm not 20yrs. old anymore.
I'm wondering if I stay at BB's and pay her to be with me 24/7 if I will have to pay the salida anyway as she will be "off the menu" and we will leave the premises from time to time for various activities.
Yes I know by staying at FOD I will save the 800 pesos because their room rates are less but the party atmosphere which I enjoy was totally nonexistent at FOD when I was there, the bar was ALWAYS completely empty. Hanging out with Alberto got old after the second day,he's a nice guy and an interesting person to talk to but he's no party animal that's for sure.
Thanks

M,
If you are staying at BBs, I don't know why you would have to pay a salida. The idea behind the salida is supposedly to deter guys from the outside (those not staying at the hotel) from coming into BBs and taking out all the girls, thus leaving the paying hotel guests with nothing to choose from. You are a paying guest, thus no salida.
I must say that when the new rules for the chicas started, during my visit there in Dec. of last year, I was not a big fan of them. My stay from last month did convince me that the changes as a whole are good for the customer, and ultimately this is still a very good job for the chicas. Yes it weeded out some of the regulars who could not live with the restrictions, but they found a home at FOD and ultimately the customers at BBs has a larger selection at any one time with a lot of fresh faces.

M911,
You wouldn't need to pay any "bar fine" or fee if you stay at BB with your favorite. The fine has nothing to do with "being fair to the other clients," or being off the menu, etc.
Its intended to make up for the lost income from bar/food sales. The girls are the attraction, and the hotel makes its money from bar/restaurant/hotel sales, not from a percentage of the girls income.
I've though it would be a good idea if the owner, John offered some sort of a deal in which in exchange for spending a certain amount in the bar/restaurant, you could take out a girl without a fee.

I'm visiting BB next week and just want to thank all the fellow mongers who have taken their time to post about their experiences there as it convinced me it was the right place for me to make my first plunge into 'resort' concept of mongering.
I've spent the past 4 years waiting for an opportunity to take a trip into the DR and had spent a great deal of that time researching the opportunities for 'companionship'. I was nearly convinced several times that I was going to do one of the All inclusive venues, but the high costs kept me from following through...
I plan on keeping a running journal of my experiences there and was wondering if anyone had any particular area of interest that they might like me to focus on as I intend on sharing these written experiences with the forum.
Thanks.

Don'tpay them shit. Tell your chick to shut the fuck up and work in your favor. She is charging you the bar fine because you don't know any better. Tell her that if she just goes with you and f them that you will give her the extra money. That's how it goes here. She is charging you through them because she thinks it's good business. She doesn't understand that you would rather she has those chips. Blackbeards ain't tripping because they make their money off people staying there and buying ffod and drinks. The girls are just there to promote that. Don't get it confused.
Before everyone starts chopping what I said down, let me enlighten all of you. Dominicans never work in your favor. I hate to say it but, they don't think that way. When you deal with them you have to think you are dealing with someone from the back woods of Alabama. They don't know shit. They are just some country bumpkins.
If the girl is working at blackbeards and everyone is fucking her and they are amking money, do you think they care what she does. They are taking the bar fine money because you don't know any better. You can catch that same ***** on the beach for no bar fine sunday if no one at black beards is buying that ass. WAKE UP!
Now, if you want a broad to hang with you and it be economical for you, work that b-i like a cool pimp. Not saying sell her to other dudes but, you have to get her to believe your dreamand once she is on for the ride, work it like a construction worker.
If you want her to hang with you for the week, take her and buy her some hang for the week panties or whatever else will make her hang for the week. However, don't put shit in her hands that could have some bartering value because that is working backwards.
Sell the dream. They are living in a fantasy world anyways so, sell the dream.
happy hunting.

N562,
With all due respect, I do not know if you ever stayed at BBs, or if you know how it works there, but it is not set up like Sosua. Although the chicas are "independent contractors", John has set up rules and pre-negotiated pricing with the chicas for those who stay at BBs and it is followed to the letter.
Here is a response posted in a recent newsletter from BBs and John the owner discussing some of the policy changes made:
FACT OR FICTION CHICA MYTHS
For all the new Pirates and Returning ones . . . there have been some questions in regards to the Chicas not being happy on the SS Blackbeards . . . and that they are leaving the ship to find better adventures . . . the fact is . . . they have never been so happy. Our Mamasans Rosalba and Luchy have managed to create special events to make our Pirates happy and the Babes excited about being BB Shipmates . . . “Yes” some of the Shipmates have walked the plank . . . ..but not because of the myths that are being told . . . so “El Capitan” wants to let you know . . .
Let's clarify how the new “rules and system” works . . .
1. At the end of each month every chica receives a blank calendar for the following month and are asked to fill in the day / shifts that they would like to work. (This includes 2 days off per week and 5 days for their expected menstruation) They choose their shift - 11 AM to 6 Pm or 6 PM to closing – Again their choice.
2. Once they have made their selections . . . a master schedule is established and they are expected to adhere to it.
3. A fine of $1000 RD is accessed if they do not show for their shift (Fines are waived if they are sick or have sick children . . . as long as they provide the Mamasan with a Doctors Certificate)
4. The hotel receives NO financial remuneration from the Chicas period! They pay the Mamasans a total of $1000RD per month to compensate them for: translation / introductory services, maintaining schedules and paperwork, coordinating mandatory Government Medical tests and meetings, coordinating and managing all activities, keeping the peace and settling any disputes, etc., etc.!
5. Salidas – I have instituted a salida – “exit fee” of $800 RD for all non hotel guests so that outsiders don't simply show up and empty the hotel of the best talent and leave my guests holding their ---- for the night.
While there are a few more details, I can assure you (come see for yourself) that the chicas have never been happier or more cooperative. They are all truly independent and free to work anywhere they want . . . .but stay because of the respect and security they receive.
Pay attention to Point number 5. The chica is not in position to "dismiss" charging a salida on take out, unless it comes out of her own cut of the money because that money goes directly to the house as an "exit fee". If you work at BBs, you have to work by BBs rules. The chica is not playing you if you get charged this salida, it is required of her.
Whether you think of the chica as if "you are dealing with someone from the back woods of Alabama" or not, it has nothing to do with the fact that BBs has rules, that if not followed, the chica risks being suspended or banned from the place. Believe me, that is not what the girls want and they will follow the rules. There are few "jobs" in the DR that pay at the level of this and the work environment is much more safe and controlled than out in Sosua or Boca Chica. The chicas do not want to mess up working here at BBs.

Thanks to Ponderosa and Yanqui for straightening me out on the salida issue, I read the BB's newsletter where John clarified the salida policy and totally missed the "non-hotel guest" part, my bad. To Negro562, you my friend do not have a clue on what it takes to get good service from a working girl. Treat them like w***es and you will get the service you deserve, treat them like the decent human being that most of them are and you will be rewarded tenfold most of the time. There are exceptions to every rule and sometimes no matter what it just doesn't work out well and that's o. K., nothings perfect and our hobby is no exception.
I on the other hand have decided to take the path less travelled by staying at FOD next week for my first trip to the DR. When I return I'll write a report.
I'm visiting BB next week and just want to thank all the fellow mongers who have taken their time to post about their experiences there as it convinced me it was the right place for me to make my first plunge into 'resort' concept of mongering.
I've spent the past 4 years waiting for an opportunity to take a trip into the DR and had spent a great deal of that time researching the opportunities for 'companionship'. I was nearly convinced several times that I was going to do one of the All inclusive venues, but the high costs kept me from following through...
I plan on keeping a running journal of my experiences there and was wondering if anyone had any particular area of interest that they might like me to focus on as I intend on sharing these written experiences with the forum.
Thanks.

Speaking only for myself, I think you have made a wise decision vs. staying at an adult AI (All Inclusive). IMHO you will have as good or better time here as compared to the money and time spent at the AI. I can spend five or six days in the DR and BBs, pay for room, food and all the p*ssy I can handle for less than one night at most AIs here.
Take your time, treat the chicas with respect, talk to some guys when you are down there that know the ropes and you will do fine. Brush up on some basic spanish as that will come in quite handy and don't let the girls push you around. This is your vacation, do what you want.
Don't forget the trip report when you come back. I live vicariously off the reports and they help me deal with the time between trips. Most of all, ENJOY YOURSELF!!!

Nothing wrong with "the path less traveled". Report your impessins afterward,
I actually like FOD. Good food, quiet atmosphere, comfortable rooms, very helpful staff, and VERY good prices. Well located for forays into Sosua.
Good for people wishing to escape BB for a while. Depending on your luck, the girls present can be very nice (check out Wendy and Josie, Jackie). The numbers of chicas are not as large as BB, simply because it is not emphasized as much by the management.
When I am looking for a getaway with a special chica, FOD is high on my list.

Lopkx,
Did you book through Dominican Billy and did you get the special price of $29/night? I am curious to know if this rate is still available. Looking forward to your report on your return.

The rate is through end of year.

Enjoy yourself and I look forward to the trip report.
Ok Where the beach starts after you pass Crystals and start the three mile beach drive in Puerta Plata there is a little Bar on the beach on right the first one.On the left hand side is a Hotel.What is the name of the Hotel?
You could have still booked through Billy and saved 20 bucks day on a suite or the two bedroom suite. If your there on 3-8 I will be too.
Anyone know where the Orange store is in Puerto Plata?I know where the one in Sosua is not going there.
Thanks

Gentleman:
Hola, and thank you to all those who have taken the time to post their experiences and suggestions/opinions on this thread and site. As you may notice, I am not an active poster, but a longtime lurker. Most of my experience has been in SE Asia beginning almost 25 years ago.
I’m now planning my first trip to BB’s after spending the last 5 years in the U.S., the most recent 2 without the woman I thought I would marry. Long story short, she crushed my heart, but it never would have worked, so I split, and have not had the willingness nor desire to hook up w/ another female sexually or emotionally since that breakup. I think I’ve finally come to my senses and realized that I’ve been living in the past, and a short sojourn at BB’s would be the perfect remedy to my situation. I hope I am right.
With that, I’m asking for any suggestions as to experiences, besides the obvious, that would ensure a great time on this trip and at BB’s; 4 days total. Has anyone had experience with the trips and activities like fishing, jungle trip, catamaran etc?
I’d especially like to know the situation on tipping @ BB’s The site mentions it’s customary but not enforced to leave a tip at the end of your stay. What’s appropriate? How about chicas, restaurants and taxis? Are tips expected / common? I’m not familiar with this aspect of the scene and would not want to drive up expectation for others, nor do I want to appear as a “cheap Charlie”. Any advice you could offer would be immensely appreciated. I’m looking to “spread the love”, not have to work at anything, and create a good time for myself and those around me, especially the chicas:) Please advise.
Thanks,
& play safe!

Thanks,
& play safe!My 2 cents:
I think it will be the perfect remedy. It sounds like you'll regain some confidence with women, and the atmosphere there can be so GFE oriented if you want it to be, that (even though its a game) you can get used to charming women and enjoying the company of sexy girls. It helped me a lot after my last relationship. You get out what you put in, also. So its great to up your game and it pay dividends.
As for the activities, youll probably find most people saying they arent too bothered about the organised trips. I always imagined them to be for maybe larger groups, like stag do's, to all go out in jeeps or into the jungle together. I don't imagine it suits the single guy so much, and they are so expensive, you could begin to wonder what other ways your money could be best spent. If you are there for only 4 days, you will find enough to keep you busy I would expect. If you did want to venture out, then there is a beautiful cable car ride up a mountain in Puerto Plata that can be done for cheap, and you could take a girl along too. Or playa dorada. Best to see when you get there how you feel about hanging out during the day, and what other guys are there if you are the social type.
Tips: well this always causes discussion. I personally will not tip the taxi guys. They have a fare, which is overpriced, so I figure that includes their own tip. And taxis from A to B don't really vary much in quality of service.
Maids. Worth a small tip. They do a hard job cleaning all those sheets! Couple hundred pesos is fair I think.
Restaurant. If service is good, then a small tip is nice, but only when good service. As reported here before: too regular tips comes to be the norm, and then the service doesn't reflect it.
Girls. I always used to round upto the nearest 500 mark. So a 1200 would be paid as 1500, and a 2500 would be a 3000, but thats me. For me anything lower that 300 I don't feel good with, and to earn over 500 then it means they've gone into the realms of "special relationship"!
Everyone differs though.
The main thing, as always, is the best way to create a good time for yourself and the chicas, is to treat them like a rare jewel. Let them know you find them beautiful, treat them with great care and affection, and give them a good Polish every once in a while to keep them shiny.

Like anywhere else there is no RIGHT ANSWER regarding tipping. The decision depends on the individual. You will get a lot of conflicting answers and in the end the answer will be WHAT YOU CONSIDER to be the right thing.
Quick answers.
The restaurant bill at BB includes a gratuity, but unfortunately customer service is something they forget often. Tip only if a waitress was especially helpful. I tip the bar staff if they have been especially helpful, extra ice when I ask, etc.
I personally suggest tipping the cleaning ladies. They are often overlooked and really appreciate it. I might tip a little at the beginning, for example, if I want my room tidied up early, and again at the end. (ME PERSONALLY, I will tip from $5-10 at the end of a stay (I can hear some guys screaming)
You pay a chica to provide you a service. If a chica provided "a little extra", ie, especially sweet, good GFE, enthusiasm, etc. I personally will tip a few bucks. Again, some will disagree. EACH ONE DECIDES WHAT'S RIGHT.
I once had a problem starting my rental car and thought I'd have to call for another. The guy that maintains the BB pool took a look at it and had it running in a few minutes. I gave him $20 because it was worth 20 to me, and he didn't have to make the effort, but he did.
How much? Up to you. Anything is appreciated.
Anyone who can afford to travel and stay in a hotel is wealthy in comparison to them, so yes, they often have their hand out, hoping to get whatever the "rich gringos" will part with. (Of course, a lot of "rich gringos" are pretty tight with a buck).
A Dominican working at a store or bank only makes 2-3 hundred dollars a month. Some will use that as an excuse to pay little or nothing.
On the other hand, the cost of living (food, utilities, fuel, clothes, etc) in DR is no cheaper than in the US, so a few hundred dollars a month is bare survival, and a tip looks a lot bigger there than in NY, L.A., MIA.
I don't recommend being foolish with money (I never have, and never will "make it rain") but if you can make someone's day with just a few dolllars, I will. Believe me, a dollar tip in DR is much more gratefully received than in a big city in the US.
True story about generosity:
In the 1950's the famous songwriter Irving Berlin (White Christmas, etc) and a friend were on the streets of NY when a scruffy looking bum asked for some money "to buy something to eat."
Irving Berlin handed the man a $10 dollar bill (in times when a hamburger cost about 10 cents).
His friend criticized him saying, "Irving, you know the guy's only going to buy a drink with that money."
Berlin replied: "Yes, you're probably right; -but I couldn't take that chance."
I agree. Last time I went to Dom Rep, I took over one hundred dollar bills to use for tipping. My grandmother was a maid in a hotel back in the old country, so my mother also told me to tip the cleaning ladies. Also you can never have enough towels, so tipping the cleaning ladies, usually means you can get extra towels. Most people who I have given small gifts to, they remember. A small tip or small gift there, can go a long way in helping you get a better room (in some hotels an ocean view room rather than a garden view room), a better car at the rental company (sometimes an upgrade to a bigger car).
For me sometimes, it is easier to tip using dollar bills (usually I have very few 50 peso bills and the loose coins I leave in the car or in the room). Even though many restaurants have a 10% ley (legal) charge added to all bills, which is supposed to go to the waiters, I doubt many waiters see that tip, so I will usually leave a cash tip. It doesn't take much money to make many people happy there, one to three dollars for most things and the people are happy.

Jaosousa I like the $1.00 bill idea. I have been to BB's close to 20 times and never thought of that! Thanks...
There is no one answer when it comes to tipping. I always need to remind myself that I am not in the US and the rules for how much, who and when to tip are different in the DR but here is what I do when I stay at BB's or other places in the DR.
1. Maids: in the past there have always been 7 and I tip each of them the first day I arrive. When Charo was there I would give her the money to give to each of the staff. I will not say how much I tip them but it was worth the extra service I rec'd. I have found it better to tip them up front. I never had less than 6 towels in my room and they would watch to see when I went to breakfast and would have the room done when I returned.
2. Security: there are two security guards and I always gave them something. When I started to rent a car I gave them a little more.
3. Pool / Grounds: there is one guy and I gave him a little something. He helped me a few times with errands etc. Several times he even washed my rental car when it was dirty from the mud on the roads.
4. Mamison: if they are helpful I would tip them. After my first trip I would tip them or bring them a gift at the start of my trip. I always felt it was well worth it.
5. Wait staff: as Yanqui69 stated there is 10% added to everything in the restaurant and bar. I used to bring them gifts or give them a tip at the start of my stay and then I tried to tip them at the end. Nothing worked the service was just bad. I stopped giving them anything. They already got 10% for doing nothing. For me I am generous to the point of being stupid. When I am buying drinks and food to the tune of several hundred dollars for many of the girls and guests all day every day I do not expect to have to go to the bar to order a round of drinks etc. Once in a while I found girl that was on top of her game and I would give her money on the side and not around the other girls.
6. Cooks /kitchen: after I was a regular there I would tip them at the start of my trip and then I would make sure that the waitress told them the order was for me when they placed it. Mixed results. They were always fantastic when I would host a buffet for all of the guests and girls. I made sure I took care of them as they worked their butts of all day.
7. Managers: when I got to know them I always brought some gifts they could give their wives. Lotions and pefume were always a big hit.
8. Negrita the dog: I am a dog lover and I always brought her some treats that the managers and John would give to her.
9. Street kids: If you rent a car...save all of your coins. When you stop at a light they come out of no where and wash your windows. I try to time the light (if that is possible) so I do not have to stop. The word no has little effect. I have had my windows washed at three lights in a row and they are still dirty. I always give them something because they are working not begging.
10. Taxis: nada nothing...in Costambar it is much more expensive. In Santiago I have found a few I tip because they speak english.
11. Airport: just say NO GRACIAS over and over. They are aggressive but just keep moving. The carts for your bags are free and I do not need someone to push the cart.
12. GIRLS: I bring gifts (to many) and or tip. I do not tip often or very much for a short time unless it was longer and better than I expected. I hate clock watchers. Over night is very different. As a general rule I do not have an over night date unless I have been with them for a short time before. Everytime I break my rule I have been disappointed! I like to make my overnight dates special. Drinks, dinner off the property if possible and I finish with breakfast in the morning. When I pay them in the morning before we go to breakfast I tip them. The level of GFE determines the amount of the tip.
This is what has worked(?) in the past for me. Good luck.

I really get confused about the correct amounts sometimes!
I always wear cargo shorts or pants with zippers when traveling. I separate the Coins and 50,100 and 200 pesos in one pocket, generally the front. I put all 500 and up bills in a zipper and try to stay out of that pocket unless absolutely necessary.
I love the Dickies with the little pocket with the zipper behind the phone pouch in front of the main pocket . Its like a Monger made it for shit like this. They have a nice crease so they look very good with a linen shirt. But they have mad pockets both seen and hidden. I have one pair with a pocket inside the shorts behind the front instead of having that little zipper. This is the #1 Spot for my 1000 and higher pesos. I never go in that pocket in front of anyone. i generally travel with about 20,000 pesos or $550 at all times. I keep about 15,000 in that pocket. The rest in smaller denomination in the front pocket. Been caught out tooooo many times with not enough money to close a transaction. With No ATM or one I would not dare go to!
I look at tipping like this:
At places where a receipt is issued, I generally match the 10% for Good Service. For a real cool dude or sweetheart server I double the 10%.
At a bar serving drinks, I generally leave a 50 peso tip per beer or drink. But per round with ma boys I never go over 100 pesos. IE.. Presidente 158 pesos, I give 200 and waive him off.
Maids and service personnel; I am with the previous poster. My Ganny retired as a custodian and Maid. I make sure to find who are my maids and leave them 500 pesos a piece at the end of my stay. Regardless of the hotel. Bad part of it is, I scream at my boys regardless of where we are about leaving messes for the maids to clean up. So they have very little work to do save for making up the bed.
With P4P , it really depends on attitude and how they perform. Anywhere from 0 to 1000 pesos to "what you want from the mall Mami?". I have had several of both. Cant stand someone telling me what I am suppose to do when I am the one paying!
Who I Tip in the DR:
1. Maids, RD$100/day (you never know when you need fresh towels and privacy)
2. Baggage Men, RD$100/bag (max. of 2 bags). If someone's handling my bags then I am either renting a car or arriving at my hotel. If that's the case, then I usually know the person or should know the person. In the event of a car or hotel emergency, I don't want to be remembered as cheap.
3. Bartenders & Waitresses, 0-25%. For me, it all depends on quality of service and whether I frequent or intend to frequent the establishment. The service and food may be good, but if I don't intend to return, I may only round-up to the nearest fifty or hundred peso.
Charity Cases:
1. Shoeshine Boys, RD$5. I never need my shoes shined; however, if I meet a respectful clever kid, who's by himself and wants some money, I may throw him RD$5. Nevertheless, if I need a kid to deliver a message to a hot girl that I have my eyes on when my hands are full, then it's RD$10 upfront and RD$10 upon delivery of the message. ;)
Who I Do NOT Tip in the DR:
1. Taxi Drivers. I rarely take taxi's or motoconchos in the DR; however, when I do, I rarely tip. Unless, I believe that I will need their driving services in the very near future, I don't tip. They're too many tiguere taxi drivers in DR, who are preying on tourists.
2. The "Ladies" (i.e. Pros, Semi-pros, hookers...). When I negotiate a price for a hooker, I pay her nothing extra. To me, tipping a hooker is like tipping a cashier at McDonalds or Best Buy. I already bought the product, so why pay more? Honestly, hookers are the worst kind of hustlers, because they don't even value the money they hustle. They spend it on alcohol, clothes, their friends, drugs, or they just give it to their chulo (easy come, easy go.) I pay them to leave. More money just confuses some of these girls. Nevertheless, on occasion, I gift.
The gift serves as a negotiating, marketing, and/or entertainment tool. If I like a girl and I want to see her again, I may give her a pre-purchased bikini (US$7 - US$15) to wear for our time at the beach. A Win-Win solution. She gets a new bikini and I get to oggle her half naked body at the beach. I also travel with dresses, purses, and cell phones; however, these gifts are more for negotiating a deal. For a girl who doesn't value an extra RD$500 - RD$1,000, sometimes the best way to seal the deal is with a faux Louis Vuitton or Dolce & Gabbana purse (US$20.) Last year, I paid this white, blond, 90lb Dominican teen with a US$30 Motorola cell phone and RD$30 for motoconcho fare. She wasn't interested in the RD$1,000, but she wanted that phone. From 2004 - 2006, I used to rely on the GD55 Panasonic cell phone. That phone and RD$500 - RD$1,000/day could get me a 72 - 96 hour weekend. I recall reading on the boards that someone was bringing down US$40 IPod Shuffles to "seal the deal." Whatever works!
In general, I don't tip hustlers (i.e. airport taxi drivers, hookers, pimps.) When I negotiate a price for a hooker, I pay her nothing more. I do tip hard working people, who deliver a good non-negotiated service that I may want to use multiple times.

My dawg was giving the street kids like $50 and $100 pesos a piece. I told him that shit is going to come back and bite him. It got so bad that we could not walk on Pasteur for Girls House to the Mystic13. If anyone knows the distance, its friggin 10 feet.

-Helpmann :)This one got a a 15 dollar cell phone and 700 pesos. She was freaky, she serviced me and my wingman overnight, she did everything I asked.
Man those maids are sure gonna see a lift in their income over the next few weeks!
Going to BBs next week (expect full report), so am going to try out this taking some little gifts, should the opportunity arise to hand them out.
Gentlemen,
Thanks to all of you who responded. I appreciate the solid advice. I think I may buy a couple bikinis tomorow, and start saving my $1 bills :)
I'm also thinking about paying a visit to the pharmacy upon my arrival. Does anyone know the current fair price for a four pack Cialis or other "insurance"? I'd prefer brand name rather than domestic.
Thank you everyone for the good info on BBs. I was going to go to Oxygen but they are full, then I was contemplating Club Alexis or DR Nights. Until I found this board. I think going for a non AI may be better, and BBs seems to be the recommended place for Noobs.
Just some questions:
What is the avg. Price per encounter with a chica, and length of time? (at BBs)
If I am planning to only stay at BBs, how much $ for food and drinks should I budget for myself, per day?
Lastly, whats the best way/rate to get to BBs from POP?
I plan to stay there Sept 2nd-4th so if anyone else is going to be there, hit me up.
Thank you guys in advance.
28 July to 1 August 2009 Comparison Trip to BB and FOD
Report:
MONEY EXCHANGE:
POP Airport exchange kiosk rate: 32.3
Airport unofficial money changer: 35
BB: 34
Jenny’s 35.9
FOD: “you can try at Playa Dorada”
PHYSICAL LAYOUT: Very Similar
Both: A central swimming pool, overlooked by a bar/restaurant area, surrounded by rooms. (FOD is currently all ground-level rooms). All enclosed and accessed only through the reception area).
FOD: Attractive bar/dining area, 20-ft marble bar (if that matters to you), TV, 2 computer stations, pool table, darts, etc. There is a Jacuzzi, but it is smaller, and not enclosed.
BB: (For new guys) Pretty much the same. Bar is smaller. One computer station. (Didn’t try the WI-FI at either one, though am told they both have it). New furniture in the dining area, with glass on the table tops.
LOCATION: This debate depends entirely on one’s taste and how one defines “isolated.”
BB is located in Costambar, far from Puerto Plata, Sosua, etc.
Costambar is a quiet, mostly residential area. A few restaurants off-site, no other night life. On the other hand, if you aren’t driving, you can walk to the supermarket (Jenny’s) or pharmacy in 5 minutes, to change money, buy water, or whatever in the market or condoms, generic Viagra, Cialis at the pharmacy. You can walk around the corner to get a pizza or try one of the places on the beach.
The Costambar beach is 5 minutes walk away. Its not Sosua beach. Its quiet (usually have the place all to yourself during the week) and pleasant. Can buy a beer, rent a cot and stretch out with a girl in the shade. If you want crowds, and to pick up chicas at the beach, then its Sosua you want.
FOD is just 4-5 miles east of Puerto Plata, about 5-6 miles west of the airport, 8-9 miles from Sosua, across the road from Playa Dorada all-inclusive. It is centrally located, - but you can’t walk anywhere but Playa Dorada. One could walk to the beach area in Playa Dorada in 10-15 minutes.
If you want to buy water, tooth paste, try a restaurant, bar, etc., you need a taxi/rental car. A taxi was usually seen in the parking lot at FOD. So according to my definition of “accessible” FOD was centrally located, but accessing anything needed wheels, not feet. It would be easy (and safer) to conduct “expeditions” to party in Puerto Plata or Sosua and return with a girl by taxi to FOD. It is not as visible from the street, so, yes chicas can go topless in the pool. If one wanted to “get away” from the pace at BB, FOD is more laid-back.
I thought both were good, -just different atmosphere. If you want a place for a group to party and have the place pretty much to yourself, with taxis/wheels to go wherever, FOD is a pretty good choice.
ROOMS: Very similar.
FOD: Standard room= $47US + tax. Clean, well maintained. Marble floor throughout. Small (cramped) but adequate shower, washbasin, toilet area adjacent to bedroom. TV, safe, AC, ceiling fan. (The rooms have small fridges, - but just my luck, my room didn’t, so no comment on whether they have ‘mini-bars”).
BB: Had both a “Deluxe Single” and Standard.
Deluxe Standard= $60US+tax; Standard= $55+tax.
I hadn’t stayed in a Standard for a few years, because the Deluxe rooms in the main building had power when the electricity failed. Since the upgrades, I see little benefit now. The Standard bedroom was the same size, same features as FOD. The bathroom however, was much larger. All tiled, the shower area was spacious, with 2 removable showerheads and a tiled bank/ledge area where one could sit/lie down (soapy massages?). Lots of room to “shower with friends.”
Prices are comparable, but based on upgrades and bathroom, I preferred BB in this category.
FOOD: Both good.
At BB I ordered a grilled sea bass fillet in garlic sauce, potato and a side salad for 275 pesos (that’s only about 6 bucks!). I enjoyed it.
(Burgers? Don’t know. - I can get those at home).
At FOD I ordered exactly the same meal; price 365 pesos (about 10 bucks).
(To be fair, the filet was also about 40% bigger too); smaller salad. Also well prepared. I was the only guest in the dining area in both cases, and amazingly, the meal arrived at BB slightly quicker than FOD.
I had the Dominican Breakfast (eggs, ham, mashed platano (mangu) at both, with a fruit plate. Both very similar in quality/price.
GIRLS:
BB: There has been about a 90% turnover of chicas at BB, with emphasis on slim girls. A variety of looks. Girls are usually required to take a day (11-6) or night (6-1) work shift. Early in the week there are usually few guests (Tuesday-Wednesday about 3-4) so many girls are allowed to take time off, so as not to waste their time. I usually saw about 10 or so, even on the slow days. It was emphasized to me by Rosalba or Luchy, the mama-sans, to tell them which one I wanted, and they would call her in. On the weekends, as guests start arriving, the number of girls increases as well. To spend a few minutes there on one occasion does not provide an accurate impression. Like the guy who visited New York during the Blackout and said he didn’t like it because “it was too dark.” I spent time with an “old favorite”, some new; - and there were some really cute ones that didn’t show up till the morning I was leaving (as usual).
Reviews:
Hilda: An old favorite. Dark, fantastic body with full, well-toned legs and bottom and natural D or DD breasts. Very competent in bed. Friendly, laid-back. We converse in Spanish and I like her. A good gal with a good heart. (For those who can appreciate that).
Joanna: There less than a year. Petite (maybe 5 ft) with white skin, green eyes, European features, small (nice) pert breasts, -and a Dominican booty. The hair always changes, but hers was (then) straight, ash-blonde, looked good (and with green eyes, I have no idea what the color really is). Just a little “meaty” in the hips, bottom, thighs for me, -but nice and “voluptuous.” Five pounds would be a lot on that tiny frame, but if she dropped 5 and tightened up the booty just a bit, she would be HOT!
She is intelligent and we conversed a while beforehand, and “clicked” with a little chemistry, so the bedroom play was nice. (As always, YMMV).
Giselle: Medium-light skin tone, breasts are probably natural Es. I tried a little massage, but she was too ticklish and giggly for that. Very nice, friendly and accommodating. Surprised me a bit when she applied some lubricant between her Big-Uns and started me there. She must get a lot of requests for that. Very soft (and natural, as they are starting the trip down) -but when she lies on her back, its like two Astrodomes. (Get them now while they are still above her waist).
Kilsia: Cute face, blonde hair (for now). Tiny breasts and pretty, slim figure/bottom. Okay, but no fireworks (for me). YMMV.
FOD: When I walked in Thursday afternoon, there were about 10 girls around; about half formerly from BB. (Elizabeth, Wendy, Jackie, Josie, Santa, Diana, etc). FOD currently does not emphasize chicas like BB does, so its much more laid-back, less organized. (Angelita, the supposed mamsan wasn’t there during the 2 days I was around). This place at present is “pot-luck” or “bring your own.”
Wendy: Formerly at BB. Relaxed, very accommodating. Exceptional bottom and legs. As stated in another report, she is the Energizer Bunny; will keep going and going, and going… Get some rest first.
Josie: As some have called her, “Sporty Spice.” Very friendly, helpful gal. Small breasts, slim body, light caramel skin. (Hairstyle/color? What day is it?) We enjoy each others company, so was very friendly and fun in bed.
Don’t know if FOD will make chicas their major feature like BB. If they chose to do so, the competition could be fantastic for consumers, but at present, it’s not their priority.
In all other aspects, the two are very similar; but for chicas, at present BB is much better, since its much more organized, and the selection is greater.
I like FOD; I could see spending some “quality time” there with a chica, or bringing a group to have the place all to ourselves, but if I wanted a good variety of girls within arms reach or a phone call away, I have to award this point to BB.
Observations of a Generation X Curmudgeon
Newbies: I don’t know everything, but IMO you will always get back what you put in. I find if I take time to know a girl (okay, speaking Spanish helps) I have a much better time in bed. Building just a little rapport pays back with interest in bed. A girl with a first-time client doesn’t know your preferences –or whether you’re an abusive psycho. Treat her like she was your woman and she’ll treat you like you were her man.
Most chicas are there because they are poor and without opportunities, not because of your sexy self. Act like an imitation pimp, like they are only “worthless hoes” and you will get what they are obliged to provide, -but not the “little extra” they give to someone they like. Act like you are the only human being in the room and the sex is like masturbation with assistance.
I guess it’s a “maturity thing”….
What is it with “Generation Y”? A major fashion trend on the East Coast must be skinny beards and huge, fat asses and bellies. Saw them at both places. FOD: 20-something white hip-hop wannabes with the whole uniform. Baggy shorts and jerseys, the “bling” thing, and ain’t none of em seen a gym lately. Imagine Jabba the Hut with a backward baseball cap. Playing profanity-laced hip-hop at deafening volume on the bar sound system in the evening was enough to drive me from the bar. (Class is about how you consider/treat those around you). I weep for my country’s future.
Saw a couple of 30-something BUFFs at BB as well. (BUFF= Big Ugly Fat F**k). Apparently the city noise in NY and NJ has made the population deaf, cause these guys were always loud. Listening to their crude chica humor at volume in the dining area was a treat as well. Did Clemenza father all these guys? They must look for blind women to reproduce with.
Both incidents remind me of how these chicas really earn every peso they make.
These guys would repel farm animals.
And then:
Friday night, after a year apart, in walks my “ex.”
Even at BB, eyes and heads turned as she moved through to where I was sitting.
Long, shapely brown legs; high, firm, ample Dominican bubble-butt.
Slim waist, tight blouse showing off her cleavage. Add long, black hair, lip gloss.
I was toast.
Spent the rest of my last evening and night with her, -and do I need to say it was the most intense sex of the trip?
Next day, she accompanied me to the airport. She stayed to watch from the observation area. We waved as my group was walked out to the aircraft. From my window seat, I could see her there watching until the aircraft began to taxi and took her out of view.
And yet I knew that she would be working that night, to pay the bills and save up for the small business she wants to start. (She got her business degree last year, but DR jobs are few and pay poorly). Just a “worthless hoe,” right?
Makes life complicated. (At least for me it does).

Hi all,
thanks to everyone for the insight on BBs.I was contemplating Oxygen, but they were full when i want to visit, and then resorted to Alexis Club or DR Nights, until I came across this board and got such great information.
I now plan to go to BB, since it seems like the choice for Noobs to DR who don't want AI accomodations. I do have a few questions though,
What are the going rates for chicas available at BB? is it negotiable? what are the rates vs. duration? Any help would be great.
What would be a good budget for 3 meals a day plus alcohol at BB (per day)?
Lastly, what is the best method to get to BBs from POP?
Thank you all for your help!

You must be looking forward to it!
Chica rates: non negotiable (downwards at least! ) 1500 for ST (short time), or 2800 for TLN (toda la noche = all night). This roughly translates as 40 dollars ST, and 80 dollars TLN.
ST. This depends on you and her, but typically 1. 2 hours. Generally one pop. A shower, shag, and massage!
TLN. All night so from when you pick her up, ie about 10 pm (ish) to about 8am. She might not want to TLN much earlier than 9pm, as that diminishes her chances of getting a customer on short before she sees you. Probably 2 pops, one that night and one in the morning. In between she'll probably try to sleep the whole time! (unless shes a crazy freak). Buy her breakfast in the morning.
Budget. Allow what you would spend in the US as the same budget. Prices are the same. So if you eat a lot, then maybe 40 dollars for food? Take into account its hot down there, so I always eat less in the heat, or only have soup or something that doesn't make we uncomfortable.
As for drinks, well again it depends how much you drink, but its the same prica as in the US. You'll be buying chicas drinks, and its always nice to be generous around the bar, 50 dollars upwards?
Get a taxi from POP to BBs, theres no other realistic way. BBs charges 45 dollars if pre arranged, but on principle I don't do this, so get one to Costambar (where BBs is located. Then ask for "Barbera Negra") from the airport, expect to pay about 40ish. It won't be cheap!
I'll be there the same time as you, hit me with a PM if you want a beer.

Triplev,
Here is a post to a link I did a while ago comparing pricing and services at O2 and BBs. It will give you a bit of an idea on budgeting and probably goes into more detail than you need.
I find your money goes a lot farther at BBs.
Here is a post that is still acurate on pricing from a while ago.
687091
Chica prices have gone up, to 1500 pesos ST (1=2 hours) and 3000 pesos TLN (All night, early evening to whenever you get up, at least two pops, evening and morning) At current exchange rates this is less than $45 ST and less than $90 TLN.
First trip to the DR I would not recommend driving yourself and use the taxi (or motoconcho if you have a strong heart). The easiest way to get from the airport to BBs is to arrange for a taxi through BBs and they will be at the airport waiting for you, holding up a sign and having your name on it. I think they charge $50 for the ride each way. Once at BBs and Costambar, you will really not need to leave that often as everything is pretty much in walking distance.
The hotel has a decent restaurant and there are a couple close by for variety.
Enjoy.
PS. Cash is king in the DR and you will get screwed using your credit cards with the exception of rental car places and some outside restaurants or the pharmacy. Exchange cash at Jenny's Market, it is easy and they have the best rates. Pay your hotel bill coming in in US dollars (if from the US).
I'm also thinking about paying a visit to the pharmacy upon my arrival. Does anyone know the current fair price for a four pack Cialis or other "insurance"? I'd prefer brand name rather than domestic.Viagra I don't use, makes my head pound and my face turn red, when used while drinking beer. Cialis (tadalafil) made by Lilly, I paid about 300 pesos (about 8.33 in U.S. dollars) per pill (pastilla).
Generic Cialis, sold as La Pela, cost 50-60 pesos($1.38 to $1.66). I have used the La Pela, no problems, a little head throbbing on the big head and of course on the little head too.
Thanks Ponderosa for the quick reply.
Since posting, I have set my reservation for BBs. I will be there next Wednesday (Sept 2) to Friday (Sept 4th). If anyone's gonna be there let me know.
Thanks all for the advice. Lastly, what should i budget for 3 meals a day and ample booze?

Sorry last question.
Is Jenny's Market within walking distance of BB?
As for currency exchange, how much would Jenny's Market have to exchange at one time?

You can walk to Jenny's in 15 mins. They will change whatever you want. I presume you are talking US$ to DR Pesos. For a small amount, say US$200, the girl on the till would do that. Anything larger, she would get the boss to deal with you.
Hey man,
You must be looking forward to it! ....

Mohoo brought up something here regarding TLN. Has anyone had trouble picking up the chica earlier in the evening?
I usually pick out the chica anytime after 7pm, sometimes even a little earlier, rarely later than 8:30. I take them out to dinner, then go to the disco, or for a walk, or into town, or whatever. I speak sufficient Spanish to BS over a cervesa prior to dinner, then continue it at dinner. I treat things like a date and I am courting the girl. I am always looking for GFE and this approach has worked pretty well for me in the past. I have been able to get a "pre-dinner" pop from several of the girls (I play it by ear and also depends if junior is up for it or not at the time).
Heck, last time I was there, on my last night, there were 2 chicas sitting together that got my attention and I could not choose between them. It was a little after 7 so I had a drink with both of them. We talked for almost an hour while I tried to narrow it down. I still couldn't choose, so I asked if they were hungry and offered to take both out to dinner to Solo Mio's, but that I would choose one for TLN afterward as I could not make my mind up right then. I laid it out there that if one or both wanted to stay at BBs for a better chance of hooking up with someone, that I understood. I also let them know a happy hour was not what I was looking for that night and I wasn't trying to have a competition here. Most importantly I let them both know that there would be no more money than just a free dinner for the one I didn't choose. We didn't get back until well after 10 and I don't know if the loser hooked up with anyone or not, but I had no trouble tying them up for an evening.
What has been your experiences here?
I just booked a trip to BB's for the end of Sept. Really looking forward to it. Sounds like it will be the perfect place for a fun vacation. It will be my first trip to the DR. First, I want to thank everyone for all the information. This forum has been such a valuable resource.
I think I understand how most things work at BB's. However, I don't understand the happy hour. 2 for 1 chicas? Just a girl/girl show? Price? Could someone explain?

I think I know pretty much what to expect from reading all the posts and BB's price list. However, could someone clarify "happy hour"? Is it 2 chicas for 1 price, a girl/girl show? Would mamasan know which girls would be most compatible with each other or better to pick one chica and let her pick #2?
Please share your knowledge and your experiences.

(snip)
What has been your experiences here?I guess its more true of Sosua, where it has definately happened to me, at about 7pm.
Maybe BBs is more relaxed, and if a girl knows shes getting a TLN, then shes definately seeing that as her payment for the night, and not necessarily trying to fit one in before. Though there will always be hustlers.
My one experience of this at BBs though, is on a pre arranged TLN (a happy hour TLN for the second night in a row with the same girls), one of the girls disappeared for an hour with a customer while her friend wanted a single time with me so I wouldn't notice. I was kinda new to the whole thing so I felt a bit pissed off, but then you can't win them all. And I had monopolised these two cuties for 2 nights in a row.
background: i am a newbie and this is my first time in the dominican republic. i choose fod for my base when i was down in the puerto plata (pp) this past week. below is a summary of a first timer's impression.
here's a summary: for those who do not want to read through my long report. typical, 3rd world country where the rules bend slightly, driving is very interesting and hairy, taxis are highway robbery, if you want local price quotes you need to try to blend in otherwise you will get quoted the foreigner / gringo rate. example, fod to puerto plata (pp) local rate approximately 200 pesos, 350 pesos for gringos. the exchange rate at western union was $1 = rd$ 35.960. the chicas give new meaning to gfe. fod from a scale from 1 – 10, i would give fod 7 out of 10. now on to the detail version of my trip report:
i was picked up at santiago airport by taxi arrange from the hotel. trip to the hotel takes about 1.5 hour depending on traffic in santiago and whether there is an accident. most roads were 1 lane roads but the roads were not too bad except for some spots that were not maintained. for me it took over 2 hours because i decided to stop by a road side stand in pp and i had the best fish fry before heading into the hotel. i also stopped at the western union for currency exchange. i would recommend to always come through pop, unless there is a compiling reason for going through sti santiago. fod to pop airport is 1050 pesos. to sti it is 4 times the price.
the fod hotel staff is very friendly, the general manager is denise, and she's an expat who lives now in the dr. she is the one that replies to all emails that are coming from the hotel. fod, accepts cash as payment which is what i was intending to do. fod is doing more renovations, so the pool is off limits so that was a bummer. i stayed in one of the large suit; it was nice, well maintained, and clean. the only item of issue i would say is that i could not use the safe because the hotel staff could not get it opened and there was no hot tub. but it had a big standing shower. if i was them, i would add a bench in the shower.
water pressure in the shower was average to poor but always hot water was available. had one electrical outage my entire trip. but the electricity went out for about 30 seconds and everything was back up.
there was always about 6 – 12 chicas hanging around depending on the time of day but there were not many hotel guests. at any point in time, maybe 3 other guests were staying at the hotel at best. so the ratio of guys to girls was good. so whenever any male came up to the outdoor bar/restaurant all the chicas would have radars on. they seemed so bored often times spending time surfing the web on the two hotel computers located at the outdoor bar/restaurant. i think fod need to do a better job of marketing themselves to get more guys to come stay. otherwise it could be there down fall. i saw a few short time guests come by but other then that, i felt like i was the only guest there at times.
having more chicas then guys was a good and bad thing. i got all the attention from the chicas but i got all the attention from the chicas. for example, one of the days i was there, 2 guys were in the bar area then decided to leave alone. so it was just me and like 8 bored female staring at me wondering who i was going to pick. and the one i had spend time with from day 1 trying to mark her territory and keep the other girls away. i met a nice fellow at the hotel who is been coming to the dr for sometime but mainly in the sd area. he was nice enough to give me a few pointers and information. some of the chicas were past bb employees who had left for many different reasons and there was a lot of new chicas who had just gotten into the business. so this was a nice mix.
nice thing was that if the chicas saw you working or doing something they would stop by and say hi but they would leave you alone if you wanted them to but they would always be on the watch. other then the pool, the other two activities you could spend your time doing at the hotel was playing dominos or billiards. i felt sorry for the chicas because there were not enough guests and there was not really much to do so they seemed very bored. fod only organized one activity when i was there it was a swimsuit party that occurred on friday but again i was the only guest in attendance. but, me and the chicas made the best time of it; ). i think for fod to survive they really need more guest volume. the chicas in terms of looks department ranged from 5 – 8. again this is an opinion, i am sure everyone will have their own opinion on this subject.
fod does not exchange money but if for example you pay with us dollars they give you change in pesos at a rate of 1 and 35 exchange which is lower than you can get in town. fod is only in driving distance to stores and etc. i would recommend if you want to get around rent a car nothing is really far. everything is within a 20 minutes radius even the airport. next time i will rent a car, it is not too difficult to get around and it is cheaper then taxis. some guys rent motorcycle but based on the driving here, i rather be protected by car metal on these roads so i can come home in piece. if you are looking for everything to be in walking distance then fod is not the place for you.
in the bar/restaurant area internet connection is good at wireless speeds of 54 mbps. but, outside this area you can't really connect because there wireless router is not for long ranges. but, i was ok with working in the bar better than being in my room. i like being around people anyways.
if you are looking for laid back time this is the place. if you want a place that set up activities for you day in and out, then this is not the place for you. for me it worked out because i had to do some work on my trip.
all the chicas were very respectful, kind, and sweet. i went with the approach of one per night lt. i used the day to chat them up and to get familiar with the area. st was the standard rate of 1, 500 pesos, with st being 3, 000 pesos. mamasan get 200 pesos and 300 pesos respectively for st and lt. i already miss the dr, now that i am back in the hustle and bustle. next time i will try bb and so on. thanks all for your valuable information, so i already kind knew what to expect. i hope i did justice to my first trip report. i will attach a few pictures of fod to give you some perspective in the image gallery when i have time.

Ummmmm, amigo, it kinda depends on how much YOU eat or drink, yes?
Allow an average of $10 for a meal (average, as breakfast, lunch tend to be less, and depends on your taste in food).
I also recommend breakfast with a chica you spend the night with, which will only set you back about $6.
Allow about $2 per beer. Liquor (tequila, etc) about $5.

Please share your knowledge and your experiences.
A Happy Hour is 2 girls, for 1 hour or over night. Time is up to you and what you want/negotiate.
The mamasan can recommend the girls. (Some are not into 3-somes).
A girl-girl show is a separate thing. They do each other and you watch.
Best recommendation for a 3-some: Ask the mamasan which ones are bisexual.
Of those, select the one you really want the most.
Then ask the CHICA to recommend the third.
She will pick one that she will be most compatible with. - Believe me, that will make for the best time for you. If the girls are into each other, they will really get into the whole deal, they will want to play much longer, and you will benefit. (And the second girl can take up the slack for you when necessary). And it can also make for a good show, if you're into that sort of thing.
Otherwise, if there is no chemistry between the girls, it will not be a good time - for anyone.

Pardon me; forgot the pricing part:
Each girl in a Happy Hour 3-some is paid for the time involved.
Example: 1 chica = 1500 pesos,
Happy Hour (2 chicas+you) = 2 x 1500 = 3000 pesos
All Night HH = 2 x 3000 = 6000 pesos. ($170 US)
or 2 girls, all night = $170 dollars (Where are you gonna beat that price?)

If you wished, they could change $1,000 US to pesos, no problem, ( I have) though its advisable to only do a couple of days expenses at a time.

Happy Hour / 3 some:
Once again Yanqui69 and Ponderosa are on the money with advice on two girls. If you want girl on girl action there is not a set price and many girls are not into that so ask the mamasan. Set the price etc. before you go to the room.
From my experience with two girls I have had the best times when I picked the first girl (and always with a girl I have been with before) and she (with my approval) selected the second. The chemistry between the girls is key for success. I let them know up front that I do not care if they are together as it is all about "me" in a 3 some. I want to be the center of attention. I prefer to have both of them all night as we have more time for relaxed fun. I also do not drink very much as I want to be at my best. Watch how much they drink because there is a balance between them being relaxed perhaps a bit more wild than when they are drunk and only want to sleep. Be prepared as they will want to change condoms during intercourse when you want to switch girls. My last tip is I go to the room between 9:30 and 10:30. My best times have been when we can play for hours and then maybe hit the Jacuzzi late in the evening when there is no one around. I should tell you that I love 3 somes and that it took a few less than great experiences to find a consistant success formula!
TLN / Date Night:
My night dates are almost always with a girl I have been with before (usually for a short time ST) and I make a dinner date with her for that night or the next day. I set the time I want her to meet me in advance. I like to make my TLN dates special by eating off site so we can take our time and have a few drinks before dinner. It is also nice to be away from all of the eyes watching your every move when you are with your date. The girl also feels very special.
Side Note: If you rent a car and are going out to dinner and plan on drinking take a taxi. This is not a country where you want to get stopped after you have been drinking!
I only take two girls to dinner (off site) if they are staying with me for the night or if it is very slow (not many clients at the hotel) because while the "extra" girl gets a nice meal they may miss an opportunity to work that night. It is after all a business.
If I am eating at the hotel I often buy meals for several of my "dates" friends because they are still able to see the aval. clients and I like having the extra company.
Oh, and if you are trying to decide between two girls that are sitting with each other...buy them a drink or two look for a little chemistry between them and either take them both for the night or pick one and set the other free.
I hope this helps.....good luck.
Thanks everyone for your generous information.
After reading every piece of this board on DR, I think I am ready for BBs. Now only if I knew Spanish.
Moohoo, unfortunately I don't have PM active so can't contact in that way. But I think it will be easy to figure out who I am if we bump into each other, or shall I just wear a flower in my hair: P
Thanks to all, will definitely report when I return.
Background: I am a newbie and this is my first time in the Dominican Republic. I choose FOD for my base when I was down in the Puerto Plata (PP) this past week. Below is a summary of a first timer's impression...............
Lop,
Nice report. Glad to see you had a good time and you took FOD and the DR for what it is. I look forward to your pictures.
I really hope FOD can make it this time around. Competition is a good thing all the way around.
I always get a chuckle out of just getting back to the hustle and bustle of life and we are already thinking about our next trip down.
Thanks,
P
Quick straw poll. I'm grateful for any answers.
I've got 1 extra night in DR that I don't have a hotel booked for. I'm due to check out BBs Monday, but fly on Tuesday. So I have 3 options, and am divided on what to do. As its my last day, Id be looking to keep the cost low (ish).
So my choices are:
A) 1 extra night at BBs. Simplest option, then just get a taxi to POP airport next day.
B) Goto FOD for one night (billy's $29), means getting to FOD then 24 hours later getting to POP.
C) Head to Sosua for New Garden for one night. Means getting taxi to POP, bus to Sosua, then taxi to POP next day.
Ideally if I had 2 days, Id goto Sosua, and chill in the bars, but I don't know if its worth it for one day. Any opinons? I realise I might be bored of BBs, but then I might also be bored of FOD if its the same setup. And on a Monday? Are there any stars there just now?
Quick straw poll. I'm grateful for any answers.
I've got 1 extra night in DR that I don't have a hotel booked for. I'm due to check out BBs Monday, but fly on Tuesday. So I have 3 options, and am divided on what to do. As its my last day, Id be looking to keep the cost low (ish).
So my choices are:
A) 1 extra night at BBs. Simplest option, then just get a taxi to POP airport next day.
B) Goto FOD for one night (billy's $29), means getting to FOD then 24 hours later getting to POP.
C) Head to Sosua for New Garden for one night. Means getting taxi to POP, bus to Sosua, then taxi to POP next day.

Are there any stars there just now?Personally I'd take the Sosua option as BB's gets boring after a while as you know and FOD is more of the same. I like the change of scenery even if for one day. If you can get an early check in at New Garden, skip the bus idea and spend some more on the direct taxi you could be up and running by early afternoon with the beach, bars and restaurants etc. Remember the POP airport is closer from Sosua than from Costambar.
Just my thought.
Hi All,
I am planning my trip in Nov and wanted to know if someone had Billy's info for FOD. I am planning to stay a few days and was looking to get the $29 special for a room. If anyone has the info please PM me or put up a reply.
Thanks

I don't know your entire situation, but from what you said, you already will have done BBs and will be ready to move on. You have been there and done that.
FOD would be a nice ending point, closer to the airport at a good price. The other advantage is that you are within striking distance of Sosua if pickins are slim at FOD for whatever reason. You will not have to hassle with the PP traffic when it is time to go to the airport, and if the chica you picked is from Sosua, send her off on a motoconcho in the morning.
Anyway you go will really not be a bad decision. Heck you could even make things simple in Sosua and do take out at La Passions. Some of the chicas there are lookink pretty good from the pictures I get from Peter.
My 2 cents.

Personally, I wouldn't run to FOD for one night from BB's. It's just not that much of a change. In addition, I wouldn't go all the way to Sosua for one night at NG either, you really need to go for at least 2.
My advice is to just ante up one more night at BB's and relax, avoid the packing/unpacking hassles, transportation costs and enjoy the vacation. Hell, the bottom line is it's all warm wet skin and there's plenty of selection to do a different girl every time at BB's

I would go to Sosua and fuck yourself silly on your last night in the DR. Get two or three chicas. Make sure to line up a chica or two for a followup in the morning before you depart to the airport. That way you won't be sitting on the plane wondering if you missed something.
Personally I'd take the Sosua option as BB's gets boring after a while as you know and FOD is more of the same. I like the change of scenery even if for one day. If you can get an early check in at New Garden, skip the bus idea and spend some more on the direct taxi you could be up and running by early afternoon with the beach, bars and restaurants etc. Remember the POP airport is closer from Sosua than from Costambar.
Just my thought.Sosua is fairly close to the airport, 10-15 minutes by car. Even if you can't get early check in, most hotels will let you leave your luggage in a secure place until your room is ready. There have been some good reports from Sosua lately (and one post stating the chicas are not as good as they used to be). In Sosua you could walk over to the beach, or walk around Sosua, to see if any chicas are around in the afternoon. After a few hours or less your room should be ready.
There are no guarantees in Sosua. You might find a chica you like in Sosua or you may not find anything that appeals to you.
Why not cut 1 day short at BBs and do 2 night Sosua? I only have 2 nights in DR myself, if I had 4 I would do that. Seems like you will be at BBs for quite a few days anyway? But I guess since you did not mention it as an option, it may not be an alternative to you.
I have newbie question since my first trip to DR and BBs is next week, what is the customary time to start hooking up with a chica during the day? Is it like I wake up 9am go down and they are there, or is it usually after a certain time? Also, what time is it usually that the chicas start disappearing as the day progresses? I will probably get there at 4:30pm so would like to make the most out of my first half day.
Thanks!

Thanks!Girls start arriving at about 9 am and start leaving about 9 pm but some will stay until the bar closes at 12. At 4:30 the place will be in full swing. ALso there are two shifts of girls now,I'm not sure what time the shift changes but it has been mentioned here numerous times. Dude,no offense but RTFF and you'll know everything you need to know before you step foot on the island.

Most girls will start coming in at 11 am.
(Frankly, if you hook up spend the first night with a girl, you most lidley won't be down for breakfast till well after 9).
If you arrive around 4:30, you will see the last of the day "shift" that gets off at 6 pm, and the first of the "night shift" that arrives about 6.
It is likely you will hook up with one that evening and the only question is whether you will spend the rest of the night alone or with a girl.
Early in the week there is little competition for girls and you can wait till they show up and look around. How soon you start is up to you and how early you see a girl you like, and how fast other guys move. On the weekends, don't snooze or you'll lose.
If you see a girl you want and she already has a commitment, or has to leave to take care of the kids, etc, don't hesitate to arrange a date for later or for the next day.

Thanks!Unless things have changed there are a few chicas arriving early around ten am to try for the early worm. Don't confuse them with the girls that spent the night with another guest as he probably wanted a good morning pop anyway as part of the stay over deal. Remember things don't get rolling generally until later.
Then they come and go thoughout the day. There will always be girls, but it depends if it's what you desire. The popular ones get scooped up and unfortunately there are girls squatting all day that get no attention or interest. Kind of sad as their profession tends to turn its back on them when they are past their pime.
You wont have any problems arriving at 4.30 but some chicas do need to get home soon after to take care of things at home. But if there is a reason for them to stay many will. So maybe go for a nice encounter for stress relief and then settle down for a few drinks, meet some friends and see what the night shift brings in. Many will come back especially if they see an opportunity to make some money.
The girls will hang out until they realize they wont get asked out and not attached with someone. Then they start to leave when it's not worth their while to stay.
And then history repeats itself the next day. You'll have a blast.

Blackbeard Trip. Monday 17 Aug 2009. Friday 21 Aug 2009
Emerging from the dense green foliage on both sides of the runway and taxing to the grim-concrete grey terminal ended my long flight into Puerto-Plata airport, Dominican Republic. My anticipation for upcoming entry into Blackbeard's was running high.
Quickly avoiding two Carnival-clad local ladies taking pictures with off-loading tourists, and passing a local rhythm band playing for tips, I briefly smiled for government security camera stationed by two women just a bit further on (it seemed to me to be a facial-recognition system of some-type.) I had to wait in line to buy a 'tourist card' for $10 only to give to a man to scan it 20 feet further on and then toss it into a bin. Alas a souvenir for me lost but local government tax revenue gained.
Immigrations and Customs breezed me through with no trouble but a local porter grabbed my suitcase before I could protest and guided me to the exit to the airport. I shooed him off with $2 (too much? ) and looked around for the taxi that Blackbeard's said would be waiting for me. A lady approached me and asked if I were going to Blackbeard's that taxi already took someone. My plane was about 20 minutes late so I thought she might be right, but I am a unwilling to trust her at this moment and decided to wait to see if my taxi would arrive. After thirty minutes of being accosted by the taxi drivers I finally gave in a took one.
The driver spoke good English and filled me in on the local color as we drove past dilapidated, rusted-tin roofed buildings, sugar-cane fields, and rolling hills. He told me he had three-children, and I asked him about his wife. He laughed and told me that he was not married, the poor in Dominican Republic did not marry. That was slightly shocking for me! Honking his horn constantly to warn people off the road and vehicles who he was passing while on-coming vehicles were dangerously close brought back to me memories of my times in Thailand and the Middle-east.
We soon entered the city of Puerto Plata where the traffic slowed down, but thickened considerably. People, motor-bikes, trucks, cars all competed for the one and sometimes two lanes available thru the city, but we made it through with no close calls. We turned right onto a rough dirt road into a 'not good area of town' as described by my driver, but soon entered into the gated community of Costambar, and after a couple of wrong turns we were finally. At Blackbeard's! $45 dollars lighter the taxi was gone and I was entering my paradise for the next 5 days.
My first view of the 'resort' when entering the gate was of a palm-leaved covered, open air restaurant to the right, and a open air bar ahead, where in several ladies and men sat at tables talking and drinking. Curious stares came my way as I rolled my luggage into the reception area. Ringing the broken bell on the countertop brought out Juan to assist me in my check in. I had a bit of a problem here when my anticipated deluxe room was not available (as I was told in an e-mail) and I had to go with the original 2-room suite. No big deal for me as the price of $90 or so was still reasonable for me. I was happy later with this happening because the bed being much lager was cozier than the standard room when I had myself and two chica's in bed.
After a quick trip to the room to take a shower and change clothes I headed down to the bar to grab a drink and play a game of pool. Three ladies quickly decided to join me for a game of pool and I bought all a round of drinks. After about 20 minutes playing a marathon game (the chica's really sucked at pool! ) I decided I had waited long enough and had to sample the menu. I chose 2 of the chica's, Mildred and Kirsia to take back to the room.
In the room Mildred and Kirsia took turns using the bathroom to get ready, taking quick showers it sounded like and came out dressed in only green towels. I was clean already show showed them to the bed and let the fun begin. Both ladies ran their hands over my body in a perfunctory massage and then asked for the condom. I was a bit disappointed in the 'lets get to it' act, but hey, I was more than ready. I enjoyed both ladies multiple times, changing condoms between changing ladies. Both ladies were enjoyably tight when I entered them and they did seem to enjoy the ride, but only in a 'it feels good way', not a 'you're rocking my world baby' way! I enjoyed our time so much, and it was getting late for me, so I decided to keep them for the evening. Mildred was quite enjoyable to sleep with as she cuddled up into the crook of my shoulder, felt just like a girlfriend during that moment.
In the morning, both ladies gave me another great ride and went on their way about 8am. I headed down to breakfast to soak in the night. I had orange juice and French toast and bacon, and do I have to tell you the OJ was SWEET! So sweet I almost couldn't drink it! I found out later that all the juices were very sweet. The rest of the meal was awesome though.
I grabbed a book to read by the pool but started talking with several of the other guys there instead and felt quickly accepted by the group. As a newbie to Blackbeard's and the Dominican Republic it really helped me to relax into the experience. At my mid-40's I was at the approx. Age of the majority of the other guys there. Most had been there numerous times before. One even had been to Blackbeard's around 10 times in the previous two years. Many of the guys had been to other Mongerer paradises. Thailand, Singapore, Brazil, Costa-Rica. I spent quite awhile talking to them and learning what I could and sharing what little I had as well. This was a great part of the Blackbeard's experience for me.
The ladies were sparse in the morning with only a few around and they were obviously with one of the guys. Around11 am the ladies started coming in. I learned that they worked in basically two shifts, 11am. 6pm or so, and 6pm till 8 am or so. If you wanted to keep a girl for the night you might not have been able if she works the earlier shift, so get her while you can!
The rest of my trip was basically the same. I chose girls throughout the day and ultimately ended up with one or two to take back with the room for the evening. I did play in the pool for awhile and had several girls come in and play volleyball and catch. I also watch the girls play a very mean game of sand volleyball helped out by a couple of the guys.
One interesting experience was Thursday night. We had a special dinner set up by one of the guys. We all paid about $40 apiece and this bought a pig dinner for all the guests, chica's and staff of Blackbeard's. It was a great meal and it felt good to give back a little to the great staff and crew.
Well, all great things have to come to an end and it was really tough leaving on Friday and I could only start thinking of what my next trip to Blackbeard's would be like.
-------------
Here are the chica's that I experienced while I was there:
Mildred (3 overnights). My favorite. The best GFE experience I had there
Kirsia (1 overnight). Solid fun
Helga (1 day time). Loved to kiss
Jenny (1 overnight). Exceptional body and great English skills
Joanna (2 day times). Most amazing body I have ever seen. Tiny hands and feet. I thought to myself, I would marry this body it that were possible.
Lizabeth (1 day time). Solid fun
Shayla (1 day time). Solid fun
I will post no photo's of the chica's per Blackbeard's current policy and the chicas requests.
--------------------
These were the things that I really took away from the experience:
- Use the Jacuzzi to check out the limits of the girls before you take her to the room. You can be very exploratory there as it is mostly private from the rest of the facility. Since I like to kiss, I could have found better kissing experiences for the room had I spent more time here.
- Take a lot more condoms that you think you will need, especially if you are planning taking multiple girls back at the same time. I used up 6 condoms in just 1 trip to the room with 2 girls.
- On the subject of condoms, if you are going at it with the girl and then you think 'Hmm, it's feeling a bit more pleasurable', it's probably not because she's clenching you a bit more tightly, or you have a better angle, it's most likely YOUR CONDOM JUST BROKE! I had this happen to me and it was not an enjoyable experience. The chica did freak a bit, headed right into the shower for a quick douche (as was explained to me later by one of the guys) recommended by the local health officials.
- Keep in mind that they make it very easy to run a tab while you are there and you can run up a good one in a short period of time. My food drink bill was over $250 for my 5 day 4 night trip, as I bought meals / drinks many times throughout for the chicas.
- Not knowing Spanish was a big detractor from the experience. I had a hard time really communicating with them even though I brought an electronic translator and a paperback dictionary. Next time I will ensure I've done Rosetta Stone before I head down!

A very nice report. Thanks for the info. I am trying to set up a trip very soon. NEED to Release ALOT of stress after seperating from the SO
Blackbeard Trip. Monday 17 Aug 2009. Friday 21 Aug 2009..............
SD,
Thanks for the report. It brings back a lot of memories.
One thing you mentioned, about reserving a delux and then having to pay for a two room suite when that is what they had for you, caught my eye. Messing up reservations at BBs is not anything totally out of the ordinary, but I may have argued a bit with them about the upcharge.
I had a delux single reserved on one trip and they only had the double delux left and I paid the single rate. My logic with them was that it was only good customer service to not penalize me for their mistake. They didn't give me a hard time about it, but then again it was during Tim and Davids time there. Now I not only confirm my reservations with BBs when they ask for it about a month or so prior, but I confirm again on my own about a week before I leave.
If this was the only glitch there, hey not too bad. I am glad you enjoyed yourself.
PS: $250 for food and drinks for your time spent is in line with my experiences. I got the advice to ask for a running tally of my bill the day before I leave to give me time to address any discepancies without the pressure of having to go to the airport on the last day from a fellow monger a while ago, and I pass it on here.
Wow amazing detail almost like I landed there too.
Excellent report, made me home sick that I was not there with you!
Hope to see you there soon.
Keep up the good work!
Does Delta Airlines have direct flights to POP?
Does Delta Airlines have direct flights to POP?
According to their flight schedule guide Sept. 5 is the last day of flights to POP (ATL to POP) for the near future. I know when I used my air miles to book a flight to POP in the recent past, the codeshare with Continental was the only viable option. Continental is dropping out of the Skyteam Alliance and that option goes away shortly.
I recently booked a flight to STI (Santiago) on Delta for my next trip and they go to both STI and SDQ for a very good rate right now. I think they are trying to compete with Jetblue and Spirit here.
Lop,
Nice report. Glad to see you had a good time and you took FOD and the DR for what it is. I look forward to your pictures.

JetBlue flies everyday, Continental has cut back on some of there flights but there are still flying there. Prices are pretty good right. Booked 3 straight flights to POP for the end of October $89.00 each plus tax, not bad at all.

Any going down from Tri-State area, try booking on Jetblue or Expedia for flights on JetBlue prices are pretty good right now for straight flights to POP.Jetblue has $89 one way fares to Dom Rep from JFK (New York). $180 roundtrip and another $130 in taxes, the taxes are mostly for the dominican government. And the ten dollar tourist card you have to buy when you arrive. Sometimes you can get a better price if you book from the Jetblue webpage.

After my third trip to the DR I think it’s time to make a report. First of all I will give my overall impression of all that I have seen in my three trips Dominican Republic. Every time I go I look forward to the cab ride and the view of the sugar cane fields cause I know what’s next. Barba Negra. I love the DR. Simply visiting this site prompted my first visit and it seemed like someplace/something that I wanted to experience. I didn’t know anyone that had been nor did I know anything about the Dominican Republic or speak any Spanish but I had the time of my life. Big props to ISG.
Each time I have gone to the DR I stayed at BB’s. On my first two trips I stayed at BB”s the entire time other than a few short walks to the beach or Jenny’s market. (good place to get any items you need, short walk and safe area, also good for currency exchange) I had no desire to go anyplace else. On my first visit I went to Mangoo’s Club (I believe it is closed now) and a quick visit to Cristal’s (which is a must do, if only to check it out) with a real cool guy, RemyMan41, who was nice enough to show me a bit of the sights. Of the three times I’ve been I don’t have a favorite trip, each had it’s own special experiences and chica’s. (some pics included) As far as a day by day report, each time I went my daily routine was about the same, eat, drink Presidentes and fuck as much as possible, usually 2-3 times per day, no more need be said. What more could a man want? Well there’s more but that will do.
So here’s what I have to report. I personally prefer to travel alone (although my last visit I went with a friend and it was fun as well), this way you can do everything you want to do and not have to try and hang out with friends other than the ones you meet at BB’s. You only have to be concerned about yourself having a good time and all of your time is your own. But then it’s also cool to experience it with a friend.
I always check the exchange rate the day before I travel, have a good meal during the stopover and stay away from strip joints and the like the days before I leave because it drains my sexual appetite. I immediately leave the plane and make my currency exchange at the bank outside the airport right around the corner after you exit into the taxi area. I have found I always get the best rate here. I budget for 2 or 3 chicas a day and get at least enough pesos to take care of that so as not to have to try and exchange dollars at BB’s. Food and drinks, maybe $20-30 a day at most. Have a few hundred for misc shit like splurging at the bar with the chicas on a slow day, buying a round for some of the guys you will meet or taxi fare to check out other places. Moving on.
The food at BB will sustain you but is not the best in the world. It can get very boring. I found on my last visit that the girls get takeout delivered from someplace (I didn’t find out about this until the day I was leaving on my third visit) and they had some roasted Snapper that was out of this world, and it was only 250 pesos. Sorry but I have no suggestions about other places to eat. A friend I met did info me that every time a man cums it requires a meal to replace the calories expended. DATY not included. So much for the food review.
Other places to visit can be expensive if traveling alone because cab fare is high. There has been a lot of debate re: BB or Sosua. I say to each his own, both locations have their advantages and it’s really a matter of personal choice. I did get a chance to visit Sosua on my last visit and will definitely spend half of my next visit there. I went with a few guys I had meet who had gotten a room at the Sosua Bay Resort after a few days at BB’s. The rooms were really nice and it was supposedly chica-friendly but only one per day. I do not know this to be a fact but that was what my friend told me they told him. I plan to stay at the New Garden when I visit Sosua.
There are chicas all over Sosua to choose from. I was only in Sosua about 2 ½ hours in the evening and I saw a lot of prospects ready to go. From what I saw it is a more of an urban setting and you actually have to find the girl you want (or they will find you with a little eye-contact) from any number of bars, clubs, street corners, etc., they are everyplace. The choices of chicas are much greater than at BB’s but I imagine so is the risk of not being satisfied with your selection and there is no recourse if you are dissatisfied. It is definitely more to do there and you don’t have to just sit around with pussy on the brain all day. This can happen if you see a girl you want and she happens to be the same one a lot of other guys want, and then all you can do is wait.
Although I have no complaints from any of my trips about any of the girls (that are worth mentioning) there are a few things that were a bit upsetting. I have a problem with the “1 or 2 hour” policy. This does not clarify what you can expect, neither in terms of time (how long) or how many times you are allowed/able to leeche. Now a lot of guys I talked to had different opinions. Some say just go with the flow, some say negotiate, some say what the fuck, it’s all-good. I personally feel that if I am able to get 2, or 3 leeches in my 1-2 hours it should not be a matter of negotiation with the chica. Some girls have a problem with this and others don’t. But the ones that don’t mind seconds don’t like it to be known. So my answer to this problem is if you are enjoying the girl just give her something extra for the second or third. You don’t want to ruin your mood with negotiating especially if you don’t speak Spanish. As I said earlier, this was a thorn in the side but not a “real problem.” Anybody that has some feedback I’d be glad to hear it.
On my second visit I did have a room without hot water and or ac at one time or another. (On my last visit I thought I had no hot water but did not complain. And it was a good thing because on the last day I tried what I thought was the cold-water knob (blue) and it was hot water. I think the rooms are overpriced at $65 per night, especially when BB’s has an all inclusive mentality, re: no outside food or drinks. That really needs to change. All the staff is friendly and helpful, especially the new guy they have that speaks 5 languages. On my last visit I was approached and requested to complete a performance evaluation of the chicas I had been with while sitting by the pool. (Several other guys were also asked to do the same) I did not complete it because I didn’t want to get anybody fired and the way it was done was in no way “anonymous”. And I have been enough times to know that if one chica don’t like you or you get on their bad side, they will put the kybosch on ya!
Don’t rely on your friends’ recommendation of a girl. Think about it. If you are with 4 friends and she fucks the hell out of the first guy, (and he’s gonna tell his friends right?) after the second guy the girl really has no motivation to over perform after number 2. And then if there are only 2 of you, you get no more than sloppy leftovers. That’s just my take; I could be right or wrong.
Definitely find a few friends while there and go to Cristal’s preferably afternoon or later. I never been at night when it was open but the afternoon I went this last time was great. I got to see that there is much more to the DR than BB’s crew, not that they were not accommodating. Also if possible try and go when there is a bikini contest, it beats all the other “pageants” by a long shot.
And finally, this wouldn’t be a report if I didn’t drop some chica names worth mentioning. My all time favorite is Mia. I met her on my visit last month. Also worth mentioning was Diana and the “pool girl”, I forgot her name.
On my previous trips India was fantastic, Elizabeth was a machine, Maria, Wendy and Barbie were all favorites. None were still working at BB’s on my last trip. I believe India was suppose to be working at Field of Dreams.
P.S. Take more than enough condoms (can’t stress this enough, if you have left-overs give em’ to the chicas), K-Y jelly, write down and practice some common Spanish phrases you will need to know (browse the site) buy your smokes and alcohol in duty-free, dress code most places is casual (shorts and sneakers / sandals), it’s usually very hot in a nice way, take a bag of Hershey kisses, have fun, be safe and keep the rest of us informed with updates.
Happy Hunting!

Just arrived for a few days at FOD. First off, big ups (thanks) to Yanqui69 for good reports and help with other questions. Nice room setup at FOD with basics. The big surprise was seeing a 42 inch plasma on the wall in a basic room. That tv is probably the biggest thing in the room. The 29 dollar special is the real deal. The 29 includes taxes. Had booked through the website but came across the post about Billy's special. Contacted him through email and was able to get it changed. Paid in cash upon arrival.
Day 1(arrival day). Nothing happening when I got in. Place (bar area) was empty around 8:00. Not many guests and REALLY Bad weather. After being in an airport/airplane for over 10 hours, I was tired anyway so off to bed and await day 2. By the way, there are reasons pilots don't fly in bad weather as it can be horrifying.
Day 2. Josie (formerly of BBs) & pictured below by Lopkx was the first in (around 10: 30 or so) along with another chica that didn't really catch my eye. Josie begins with the play talk (happy hour for the price of one). My first thought was it may be a bit early and I'm not really that interested in the other girl so I declined. We chat for a few minutes before I decide to take the plunge. We head off and after a few quick showers we head to the bed. This is a case of YMMV. The first sign that this would not be a good experience was when she "complimented me" or "seemed stunned" by my size (package). For those familiar with Seinfeld, I'm no George Costanza getting out of the pool (small) but I'm no Lex Steele or Mandingo either. My experience over the years has been that when I hear this, the girl will not let me pound it the way I want to and will attempt to rush the session or squirm constantly on each downstroke to get it over with. This was no different. We start out with a real quick BJ. Then to mission style and I slide it in (fairly easily by the way) and she's holding me close to her so damn tight, I almost suffocate. I'm no teddy bear, grab the bedrails or something. After a few minutes of this, we change to doggy catcher because I'm chasing her on each stroke and only half way in. So I cut the session short and send her on the way. Exchanged pleasentries and all but I've had enough of those experiences.
After a bit, I go back to bar and meet up with another cutie. Her name was.---dammit forgot her name but I'll get it tomorrow. I think it was Geni (? ) or Glia (? ) but I'll confirm. Anyway, we do the translation back & forth on the computer for a few hours (her english is so-so & so is my spanish). She appears to be the real deal and we head off. This was much better. I pounded it just the way I wanted to for well over an hour in various degrees of difficulties/angles. Will be seeing her again before I leave. Both Short Time session were 1500RD each (apparently same as BBs). Got a tentative setup with yolandy and/or Coffee on Day 3 so we'll see how that goes. They were still around at 9:00 but I'm a bit worn out from the other girls so I decided to wait on them. Will update later.

Can we get a current list of the best airlines that fly into POP?
American Airlines
JetBlue
Continental
For those of us forced to land in STI. Does anyone know a good taxi driver for travel from STI to Puerto Plata at a reasonable rate?
I know each situation is different but, I was wondering if there is any off the hook crazy chicas that really seem to enjoy the sex, or act like it. In the past there was the famous Ivette/Ibell and also Yohanny was an energizer bunny. Last year when they were at BB's they both really gave me the time(s) of my life in the sack just non stop fun. Anyone run into performers like that at BB's lately. I am not asking for a blow by blow description, but just knowledge of any crazy sexy chicas there right now. I am planning a December trip.
Much love,
Carlos
I was considering a trip to Blackbeards soon as I was searching it on the net I found a video showing all patrons full face, no blurs nothing.
You can also see other people in the crowd videoing the bikini contest. I am not ashamed of going, but if I wanted everyone to know what I was doing there would be no need to go to a foriegn country. I am not posting the link for this video if you want to know so that you can take it down please PM me.
Thanks for the reports CapBill and Bbjack. I always appreciate trip reports.
Lop, thanks for the pics. Cap and Bb, if you have any pics, don't be shy....

I don't know of a taxi driver, but you also have the option of taxi to the bus station and bus it to Puerto Plata, then taxi to final destination. A taxi from STI to PP has got to cost.
I usually drive, but I do not recommend this for newbies or the faint of heart.

I usually drive, but I do not recommend this for newbies or the faint of heart.One time years ago I had to take a taxi from Santiago Airport to Sosua. Cost was over 60 dollars and that was at least three years ago. The flight landed in Santiago after 11pm at night, so I didn't have the bus option. I was originally scheduled to fly into Puerto Plata with my wingman, but when I got to the airport at JFK, I discovered that my passport had expired (American Airlines personnel said I could not travel with an expired passport). In those days you could travel with a birth certificate in lieu of a passport. American Airlines put me on a later flight that night to Santiago and I had to go the same day to the Department of Health in Manhattan to get a copy of my birth certificate. My wingman talked to some taxi driver in Sosua who drove to Santiago to pick me up. The taxi driver took the mountain road to get back to Sosua.

CarlosI thought Yohanni was still at BB's,I was looking forward to going at it with her again in a few weeks. I also had a three way with Ibel and Yohanni last year and it was one of the most memorable sessions I have ever had. Damn it now I'm bummed out.

All pretty much the same. The fare would run about $90.
(Ask/set the price in advance).
If you get in from morning to afternoon, get a cab to the bus station and get a ticket to POP. Only a few dollars.
I have this friend who is a taxi driver in Santiago ,when I used him before he charged me 60$ to sosua. I think is would be about that now since That was 2007 the last time I used him. You just need to call his home number the a day or 2 before.

This was a major subject not long ago for the reason you mention.
BB policy now is that videos are limited, to that guests may not be video'd.
(No, I don't remember the details, you need to get it from their website or at the hotel.)
But there will be no more indiscriminate videos as shown before.
(Supposedly the one that was posted before was required by the hotel to remove it).

Yohanny finally had it with John, the owner and left for good.
She had been occasionally at FOD.
She apparently got pregnant from a broken condom with a client and is due to give birth this month.
Truly a hazard of this job. She doesn't even know how to contact/inform the father.
(Okay, this would have been around January, YOU know who you are, Dad!)
Just back from my 3rd trip to BB’s in the last 6 months. I really enjoy the place I think it is a well run place that really caters to the guests. Like my last report I will not go into the day by day blow since much of it has been said before. I just want to make a couple of observations and a question or two.
The main observation I had this time down was how young the hotel guests were compared to the last two times I had been there. I would say 80% of the guys were between 28-38 years old. I can imagine some like to hear that while others cringe! One thing a crowd like that brought was much more heavy drinking ( hey I did that the first time I went down…learned that was a mistake) but everybody can do what they prefer on their vacation.
Since I have been down several times in a short period of time I have my favorites at this point. One of the most disappointing aspects is to get down there and you find some of your favorites are not there or stay busy. For the first time I used Roselba (sp) and she did a wonderful job. I saw one of my favorites at night and noticed she was busy I asked Roselba about a short time the next day at 1:00. She said no problem, I thought, "yea I don’t think I will count on that because she didn’t ask the girl, look at her schedule or anything"….well damn at 12:50 the girl was there with a great attitude. Needless to say I gave mamsun a nice tip. After staying the night with the chica she said normally she wasn’t off but was taking off because she was busy on her scheduled days off. Would she of stayed or do the girls stay on their day off if you ask? Now from what I understand you can tell BB’s what girl you want before you get down there by email. How do you guys handle this? If I make an appointment 2 months in advance do I request her then? Seems like a lot of variables that could go wrong at that point, Do you just ask and hope for the best?

Guys, some information all of you should know in these cases:
You can obtain the morning after pill at pretty much any pharmacy. If I remember right, and I have pretty good memory of every penny I spend, it runs about 200 pesos ($6). Some of the girls know about it, some don't, and some of them just WANT TO GET PREGNANT. I went to the pharmacy myself and said, "yo quiero pela para contracepcion dia dispues" (In poor Spanish, I want a contraceptive pill for the day after). The girl there knew exactly what I wanted and handed it right over.
On another note: I think it is REALLY RARE these girls get pregnant by accident, they have a LOT, and have had a LOT of sex. They KNOW when and how this happens. I'm not accusing Yohanni of foul play, but anyone who knows her knows she's a true professional. It's just a bet of mine, she knows exactly who it is, and it's either her Dominican esposo (which I don't think she has) or one of you guys out there that has a sizeable and quantifiable ability to support her and the newborn.
Brace yourself, they adopt a whole new set of standards once someone else is paying the bills.

Brace yourself, they adopt a whole new set of standards once someone else is paying the bills.If a girl gets pregnant by a monger from the USA She is shit out of luck monetarily unless the guy wants to give her money. I happen to know this from recent experience. I got a young lady in Colombia pregnant and became a father at 52 yrs. Old in July. I consulted attorneys in both Colombia and in the USA As I wanted to make sure there wasn't even a remote possibility she could come after me and was assured that she couldn't. I doubt very much that one of these girls would get pregnant on the HOPES that the father would support her. And I really doubt Yohanni would do that as she already has three or four kids believe it or not.
Just for the record, I do support my beautiful daughter and her mother but it is on my terms not hers and yes I had a DNA test done.

Just for the record, I do support my beautiful daughter and her mother but it is on my terms not hers and yes I had a DNA test done.From what I read, the woman can go the Dominican government with the father's name and if the father ever travels back to the Dominican Republic, the Dominican government can prevent the father from leaving the country until he has met his obligations to the mother. If the father never intends to travel back to the Dominican Republic then he should not worry. (Unless the chica gets a Visa to travel to the United States with the baby, in which case she could file in court for child support, in New York 17% of the guy's income for one child).
Good to know about that morning after pill being readily available. Be careful with the alcohol in the Dominican Republic, I have had chicas in dom rep who were drunk who wanted me to slide it in without a condom and two times I have slid it in without a condom while I was drunk, luckily no pregnancies.

So I suppose the girl I know with 3 kids that got DNA tests done, and was allowed to go to NYC and sue for support is a farse? There are also means for these girls to have you faced off in immigration, taken for a DNA test and held until you pay up if found to be the father.
Am I crazy? These guys I know this happened to just fooled into it? I hope so.
One more story. I was with a girl for about 10 days, and she had her "best friend" with her. Her best friend had an esposo, but for whatever reason these girls still go out and work the street, she hooked up with a guy from NYC that had a place in Cabarete. They had sex for one week without a condom, and at the end of the week, she figured she was pregnant.
She calls the esposo, begs him to come down immediately, and barebacks the esposo for a week, then sure enough, 2 weeks later, informs the esposo he's got a baby on the way.
Shes about ready to deliver now, the exposo believes the baby is his, and my buddy from NYC is breathing a little easier.
I think the bottom line here is however, these girls sit on a lot of dick. Even if they are your esposa, they are very likely sitting bareback on other dicks. BY ALL MEANS.... USE CONDOMS

They must have revived that practice. They had stopped for a long time.
I would say its not realistic to "reserve" a girl say, 2 months in advance.
When they check your reservation to reconfirm (usually about a week away, that might be more realistic).

Just some thoughts:
I remember very distinctly that when it comes time to withdraw, the chicas always looked VERY INTENTLY at the condom, to be sure it hadn't broken.
I don't think any of the ones I had been with at BB would be happy to see a broken condom.
This is just what chicas told me: Yohanny didn't even know how to contact/inform the father.
Yohanny had told me that she had been married and had divorce after having the children with her Dominican husband.
I agree, I was also puzzled that Yohanny chose to have it.
Again, chica hearsay: she had had a test done and was rather excited that it was going to be a girl (she has 3 boys).
This may be an individual thing regarding choosing to terminate a pregnancy, whether chemically or otherwise.
I know that abortion is illegal in the DR.
Rather surprising the Morning After pill is allowed at all.

Again, chica hearsay: she had had a test done and was rather excited that it was going to be a girl (she has 3 boys).
This may be an individual thing regarding choosing to terminate a pregnancy, whether chemically or otherwise.
In general, and I think there are published statistics out there, once a woman gives birth to one or more children the chances of her aborting the next will be very very very small. It does not matter whether the father is known or not.
I was considering a trip to Blackbeards soon as I was searching it on the net I found a video showing all patrons full face, no blurs nothing.
You can also see other people in the crowd videoing the bikini contest. Yeah I agree, I don't like that. Other mongers should respect others privacy. If that is the case that would definitely turn me off going to BB no matter what the girls look like or perform.
I have this friend who is a taxi driver in Santiago ,when I used him before he charged me 60$ to sosua. I think is would be about that now since That was 2007 the last time I used him. You just need to call his home number the a day or 2 before.What's his contact information?
I'd like to apologize to Yanqui. I was busting his balls, and it came off way harsh. That is what happens after you post after a night of drinking.
Again, my apologies to you sir.
SCBG
Yeah, we exchanged PMs and some information.
Its the crusty curmudgeon in me. (look it up, kids).

Please Click Here (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?) for more information.No way is BB's going to "reserve" a girl two months in advance for you dude. Why don't you get the phone number of any girl you think you want to repeat with that way if she leaves BB's which happens often you can still get hold of her. I have about a dozen phone numbers of girls from BB's and more than half of them no longer work there but I still see some of them,others lose their phones therefore their number changes,nothing you can do about that other than ask around and see if someone has the girls new number.

Yeah I agree, I don't like that. Other mongers should respect others privacy. If that is the case that would definitely turn me off going to BB no matter what the girls look like or perform.
I have run from cameras while mongering for years, don't know why, no wife, gf, nada, but I still have a thing for getting a photo posted. However, at Blackbeards, there are NO VIDEO CAMERAS, and any pictures taken, if posted must have the expressed permission of the girls.
Surely, the mongering community can have a bit of respect for each other and blemish the faces of each other as well.
Just got back from 3 days in POP staying at BBs... my first trip to the DR.
First, I would like to thank everyone on the board for guiding me towards choosing this awesome vacation.
2nd, I would like to shout out to Mohoo, a true gentlemen who is on this board and whom I chilled with for most of the stay. Also to G. and A., two old players that more than kept up with us young kids :P Hope they will make it to this board.
Now on to the report... (sorry it will be long, I am reliving the experience by typing it all out, currently suffering from withdrawl lol, but I will do a highlight of observations at the end of the report for those who want to skip).
DAY 1
I used the BBs taxi service, $45 US one way, which most guys complain but being a first timer, I wanted to be safe. The driver was right there at the gate holding a sign with my name on it, and I was whisked away into paradise literally after walking three steps out of the airport gate. It beats bartering with the other taxi drivers, but I suspect you can get a deal for $5 bucks cheaper if you knew your spanish.
Arrived at BBs by 5pm, great weather, more than 10 chicas around the pool and bar areas. Only one guy there other than me -- Mohoo lol. Was welcomed warmly by Cynthia the manager, who turned out to be from the same hometown as me. Booked a single deluxe, got a single deluxe, a/c, hot water all worked fine, better than what I expected. Quick shower, tried to look spiffy and went back down to the bar to have my first vino.
I probably got to the bar just when the shifts changed (6pm) so an attractive chica who just started her shift quickly tried to make eye contact with me and did her thing of rubbing up to me, sitting by me, kissing my back, and all that kind of stuff to try to hook up (but she wasn't overly aggressive with her approach, as I would find other girls would be later on my trip). I resisted since I just got there and was still trying to weigh my options. But she persisted, so being the unseasonsed pirate that I was, I offered her drink. So she stayed by me all night. Her name was Olga.
Met a few guys there that night, so they were nice enough to take me out to the beach area and the bar there. Had a few drinks there and met with other gentleman than were also staying at BBs. Was time for dinner, I had promised Olga I'd be back, so we stopped off at BBs picked up Olga and another gentleman picked up Wanda, and we all went to the Italian place around the corner for dinner Oso Mio (sp?). Food was alright.
Got back to BBs, drank most of the night by the pool, then spent the night with Olga. Great girl, professional, hardworking and sweet, but limited english. Definite plus was that she absolutely loved to kiss. I find that this makes a huge difference on the overall experience. Treat her well guys.
Day 2
Had breakfast, IMO, BBs has the best coffee and it's free, and definitely an amazing steak and eggs. I ate at quite a few places around Costambar and Sosua this trip and honestly I found BBs to be the best and most consistent. Not to mention a great view, because bright and early by 10am, you will see around 8-10 chicas coming in for duty. Found the guys and we decided to take a short trip to Sosua. Since I had read so much great stuff on Sosua, I knew I couldn't miss the experience. We drove to Sosua from BBs, probably took us 40-45 minutes. Parked and beelined it to La Passion. Overall, the girls in La Passion are younger and more beautiful than BBs. Everything is on the menu. While we were short for time, one of our travelling companions did go for a little action afterwhich he declared the girl was amazing and "professional". He had already been at BBs for 4 days and was smiling ear-to-ear after this experience, so I would say that he was very happy. We stopped to eat at a German restaurant with the best hamburger (as described by Mohoo) and it was great. Then we left Sosua and drove back towards Puerto Plata. On the way back, we stopped at FOD. The place is nice, no water in pool though, but bar is modern and has more computers there for internet access. Around 5 chicas there, most were about to leave (this was about 7:30pm), with only one guy staying there. We had a quick drink and wanted to check out Cristal. Met Barbie at FOD (who apparently used to be famous at BBs) and she was nice enough to show us the way to Cristal by driving there and letting us follow her. Cristal is a nightclub/stripclub setup, has an open area with bar and pool, as well as an indoor area with booths, stage, typical strip bar look. The girls were incredibly gorgeous there, but they are both aggressive and all about money. We didn't inquire much there as even the drinks were double the price of anywhere we've been to, but were offered some quick 1 hour fun in one of their rooms for $100 US. Girls were hot, but I preferred the nice and comforting attitude of our chicas back at BBs, so declined. After checking out Cristal we went back to BBs. That night it was disco night at BBs, something not to be missed as the girls do go a bit crazy. Was approached by 2 chicas well known for their greatness (Crystal and Rosie) but since it was my last night, I wanted to find someone special. Jenny caught my eye and after a whole night of eye contact I was able to have her spend the night with me. Amazing girl, pushed all the right buttons for me, spoke good enough english and is actually smart--she literally stole me heart. It is still somewhere down at DR with her. One thing I did learn from her is that although I made every sign to show her I was interested in the disco, she said she did not approach me because the whole time Rosie seemed to be with me and trying to "claim" me. Therefore, it is something to note that the girls do operate under certain understood rules amongst themselves.
DAY 3
Nothing happened, I was too sad trying to come to terms with myself that I would be flying out in the afternoon.
KEY OBSERVATIONS/OPINIONS
BBs Overall -- the best balance for accomodation/food/chicas/attitude/service/safety. Even after seeing quite a bit of POP, I would probably make BBs my main stop the next time I visit.
BBs Chicas -- 7-9s all around, more than 10 chicas available at any given time of the day, from 10am - 12 midnight. All great girls, great attitudes.
Sosua Chicas -- 5-10s just too many on the streets, they all want a piece of you. I just felt that safety would be a concern playing there. BBs really gives off a safe feeling in its setup.
FOD Chicas -- 6-9s ... for the more seasoned visitor, it is definitely worth checking out.. probably around 4pm, to see if anyone there interests you. The way I see it, you either stay at BBs (if you want to stay at the resort mainly and be spoon-fed chicas as they say), or you would just go to Sosua and go for the hunt. Even if you wanted someone from FOD, it would only be a 15 min drive to FOD from Sosua. But truly, FOD is in the middle, and really it is nowhere.
La Passion -- if you go to POP you have to go to Sosua and go to La Passion, even if it is a day trip. Definitely lets you see the variety of girls available in the DR.
Cristal -- a must see too, even if it seems a bit too rich for your blood. Definitely worth a couple of hours there. My opinion is that it is a tourist trap type of setup.
Driving -- I don't think driving is really that bad in POP at all. Yes it seems like chaos, but you can get used to it. Basically I would definitely rent a car if I plan to travel between BBs, Puerto Plata, and Sosua. It is not hard at all.
Caution -- once you have been to the DR it is very very very difficult to forget its charm. I am currently struggling to adjust back to real life :(
Thanks for reading! I am already hoping to go back, but alas, my schedule is not 100% determined by me. Hope my long report gives some insight.

Nice report. Thanks.
Yeah I just checked today and see the bikini contest video still up on a site, all patrons and chicas faces exposed. Glad I wasn't there that weekend, and hopefully they will take it down.
I was considering a trip to Blackbeards soon as I was searching it on the net I found a video showing all patrons full face, no blurs nothing.
You can also see other people in the crowd videoing the bikini contest. I am not ashamed of going, but if I wanted everyone to know what I was doing there would be no need to go to a foriegn country. I am not posting the link for this video if you want to know so that you can take it down please PM me.
Anyone ever been to BB's for New Years Eve? I am consdiering it but wanted to hear if anyone has any thoughts. Feel free to PM me. Thanks again to all on this forum. Your advice has always been helpful.

I am heading to FOD in two weeks and the last time I was there they couldn't exchange any dollars for me which usually isn't a problem because I just go to an ATM but for logistical reasons I will not be able to do that on this trip. I will need to exchange some dollars for outside of FOD activites. Where should I go to get the best rate hopefully somewhere between the airport and FOD. I will be there from Sept. 21st to the 25th if anyone is around I'll buy the first cervesa or five.

I don't know about it being the best rate but I thought it was reasonable.

The bank at the airport--the one on the outside concourse near the taxis, not the cambio booth inside, which is a ripoff.
I agree, DO NOT change money @ "Global Cambio" as you enter the terminal they will really rip you off, I believe they pay RD31/USD and the rate is currently RD36/USD!

FOD exchanges money @35 per dollar to my knowledge I was there Saturday.

Just use the drive up ATM at Banco Popular near the big interchange on the east end of Puerto Plata, right before it starts get a little less dense before FOD. Get your cabbie to pull up right behind the ATM, get out and walk up to it. Its a little tricky to get the card thingy to take your card (you have to slide it in just right. Its taken me a good 5 minutes sometimes), but once you do, you'll get whatever the international rate is, at least within 1RD. They may even have a walk up ATM. You could also go to BBs and exchange at the check in counter, though, you'll take a loss, it'll probably be better than the airport cambios. SHIT! I almost forgot. Jenny's! Everybody agrees that Jenny's is like the best place to change dollars if you choose to go that route. I don't think I've ever received less than 35/1 exchange rate there; I think you'll find it fair! How long have you been coming to DR again?

last week BBs was 34RD/US and Jenny's was 35RD/US, but it is a bit out of the way for Manz just fyi though.
FOD exchanges money @35 per dollar to my knowledge I was there Saturday.Refer to my trip report for the answer on Fod exhanges. I tried and Denise the GM of FOD does not allow exchanges, what they allow is to give you change in pesos if you give them dollars when purchasing something. So key is they force you to buy something or they tell you to go to Playa D. Next door which is about a 20 minute work.

RodeoRodeo my friend,
You know that I know that the best thing to do is to use the ATM but for "logistical" reasons I can not do that on this trip. I thought about Jenny's but that is in Costambar and I am going to FOD and didn't want to take even a slight detour if at all possible because the thieving bastard taxista will probably charge me an extra $50. LOL. I may rent a car, in that case I will go to Jenny's.
P.S. - Seeing as I am going to be in the DR before you I get to play with Naomi and Dayana before you do,haha.

FOD exchanges money @35 per dollar to my knowledge I was there Saturday.I have stayed there twice and both times they were WILLING to change at that rate but weren't ABLE to change more than about $50.USD. I am only staying at FOD to take advantage of the $29. special through Billy and will spend most of my time outside of FOD so I need to exchange a decent amount to fund my "activities".
Guys,
Exchange money at airport @3550rate they stand by the Rental Car cashiers in Regular clothes.
you are all getting ripped. the rate is 36.05 right now. Anything less and your are getting played.

But the difference between 35.50 and 36.05 is 1-1/2%,do the math. If you exchange $200. it'll cost you an extra 3 bucks. I hardly call that "being played" my friend.
you are all getting ripped. the rate is 36.05 right now. Anything less and your are getting played.
In my BB/FOD report I noted that the airport kiosk was the worst at 32-something. A "street-changer" at the airport was offering about 35.
BB was around 34 and Jenny's was 35.9.
That said, since rates can fluctuate a peso or two from one day to the next.
I'd be reluctant to say a difference of a peso or so constitutes being reipped off or being played. Depending on how far you have to go and how much money you need to change, you sometimes give up a peso or so in therate
in exchange for the convenience. Even the ATM will cost a buck or tow.
If I had a large amount to exchange, I'd definitely make a trip to Jenny's, and stop for a beer at BB.
Even the ATM will cost a buck or tow.I have Chase Bank, at least 4 dollars for every transaction I make with an ATM in Dom Rep. Convenience of using the ATM is that I don't have to walk around with a wad of cash or worry about a wad of cash in the bedroom.

Yeah man, I say rent a car, team up with another monger maybe at FOD or BBs and do it up, then you can have fun in Sosua as well! By the way, there's a new Diana at Passions with some of the biggest tits I've seen in DR; the rest of her is smokin too!

Dude- You have sensativity issues. Every post I make you act as if I am talking to you. I was just letting people know that the exchange rate has been 36 and over for the past month.

When I am in Puerto Plata I use RUSA to exchange money. They always have a slightly better rate than the banks.
They are located opposite the Amber Museum, round the corner from Sam's Bar, a short walk from Parc Central.
I know it's not en route from the airport to FoD but this is my suggestion.

Sorry, bud, you got it right.
I do overreact. Just the verbage I'm not used to.
Sorry 'bout that.
I was in touch with a chica I'm close to, and she related some wierd stuff going on at BB.
Seems this week John, the owner, called all the staff and chicas to a meeting where he went ape-shit.
Said that there weren't enough guests coming in,
that no one was doing their jobs.
Blamed the lack of guests on the chicas; that they were overcharging and lying to the guests (?).
Allegedly he threatened to close the hotel, giving them a date
of 1 November.
Took each chica aside and chewed them out individually.
Then proceeded to suspend a bunch of them.
I ge the impression this guy is imploding.
He has always had a personality problem exacerbated by a drinking problem,
but hotels all over are down due to the global economic crisis.
I can only say if he destroys that business that so many depend on for their livelihoods, that FOD can use the opportunity to take over the business.
(If they choose to emphasize the selection of chicas available, etc).
Anybody there now?
What's the low-down?
Only for few minutes girls not so good.I think the good ones were busy .LOL One of guys I was with was pissed off about ordering something on menu we left.Like said girl selection was not good for whatever reason not even close to the 4th of July girls.
Well I heard that prices for the chicas is 1500 and 3000 probably not the best thing to do in todays economy don't you think.
Only for few minutes girls not so good.I think the good ones were busy .LOL One of guys I was with was pissed off about ordering something on menu we left.Like said girl selection was not good for whatever reason not even close to the 4th of July girls.Well I was down there 3 weeks ago for my 3rd time in 5 months and let me say I had a great time. I was also down there on the July 4 weekend and the above statement about the girls not being as good as July 4th I can tell you first hand is correct. I don’t know what happened this time to set him off and I really hate saying the girls "were not so good" but to be honest I told some of my closer monger buddies that something is screwed up with the schedules these girls were keeping this time. I couldn't really put my finger on it but you couldn’t find certain girls after seeing them once. It seems the same girls are there 24/7 while others, the ones in demand, are not there as much and because they are not there much they are busy when at BB's. So what happened was guys were looking around for somebody they had seen and couldn’t find them so they would leave to party somewhere else. I feel like I just didn't miss one girl from July 4th weekend I would say that 4 or 5 of my favorites ( I think most would agree the best looking ones) I didn't see at all. One had quit and the rest I was told 'were sick". I was willing to believe it was just bad timing and I booked again in Nov...so I hope he is open LOL!
I really like the girls down there most have a great attitude no matter the looks and the girls shouldn't work in slave like conditions but BB's may have taken the "set your own schedule" thing to far. Second, although the girls deserve every penny they get raising prices when John did is probably going to run people off, especially if people feel the talent is not as good.
Well I heard that prices for the chicas is 1500 and 3000 probably not the best thing to do in todays economy don't you think.
Probably true.
That said, my understanding was it was the first tieme the price had veen raised since 2005, when it was 1300 and 2500.
He might also have considered dropping the room prices by a couple of buck or the beers by a few pesos, rather than dropping all such things on the chicas, who are basically only making enough to pay the bills (barely) from month to month.
Only for few minutes girls not so good.I think the good ones were busy .LOL One of guys I was with was pissed off about ordering something on menu we left.Like said girl selection was not good for whatever reason not even close to the 4th of July girls.
It would be significant when this was.
On the 4th, they can expect a lot of business, so as the number of clients is high, the number of chicas matches it.
During slow periods (early in the week/day) when there few clients, the girls would rather not waste their time sitting around for nothing. In such cases, they usually are permitted to beg off and take care of family, errands, etc..
In such instances, talk to the mama-san, have her call in a girl for you. (They often post pics from the last contest on the wall).
From what I am told, there has been very little business at the hotel lately and the girls are desperate to pay off bills, debts, etc.
One I know was planning to go to Sosua last night with some others, even though she hates that place, - just because she needs the money so badly.

Girls ordering drinks (Hennessy etc) on my tab. Without my authorization.
I've read of many guys having a similar experience at BB's. If the management wanted that practice stopped. It would not exist today, but it does.
I've never had a problem with this type of situation at FOD, so they now have my business. If BB's had taken care of business properly they never would have lost mine!
