I would also like to know.I don't know the name of the place but I have mentioned it several times in previous posts. Just ask any one of the girls at BB's or take a walk or ride through Costambar on a Friday or Saturday night and you will know when you are there because the place will be packed,it is outside. It is a converted house or small hotel with an empty swimming pool next to the bar.

I never quite understood why folks post pics of chicas, but it is a big secret where they work, why bother posting the pics if you are going to Bogart the toto?I agree,or at least do a better job concealing things in the picture like the furniture and such. I took one look at those photos and knew EXACTLY where they were taken even though I didn't recognize the girls.
Furthermore,to mention "the place in Costambar" like it is a secret or something. I have a news flash,there is only ONE "place in Costambar" and it is the most well known "place" on the whole north shore of the DR.

I never quite understood why folks post pics of chicas, but it is a big secret where they work, why bother posting the pics if you are going to Bogart the toto?I can really think of lots of reasons not to post the location where the girls work but more importantly, like I have said before, the report was only in reply to the "MAN TOUR" . In addition I look up to you as a senior member of this forum and feel you of all people understood my reply which as a newbie I found everthing I was looking for by simply researching this forum which to me is the MAN TOUR. Secondly, I am not on the forum to make one place better than the other, I like them all BB's, FOD, Chystals, ect.
Research this forum and you will find the kaoka type bar where lots of chicas hung out.
Ponderosa,
Go towards the beach and as your walking along the beach it is on one of the last streets on the left. I had fun there and it is a good alternative to your home base but to be honest I am not sure somebody that has spots they like and has a car is going to think that much of it. To somebody new to the DR it feels kinda of local. The positive is that it is walking distance, open later then the home base bar...of course you see some of the same girls.

Do you know how old M with the yellow tank top is? She really looks like a hottie. Was your time with her well spent? Thank you for the pics. They are all very beautiful.
Doker,
Thanks, but I was hoping there was a different hangout than this one. I have been there before. I am always on the lookout for local spots.
As far as not mentioning business names and photos, there are two reasons I respect what KC said.
One, I caught his reference to positioning his trip vs. that Mtour thing. For me, unless I see something new and informative from this "new enterprise", taking guys out to the Sosua discos and Passions, or Cristals/La Bohem, or PP casinos can be achieved by just reading the forum. Hell, you can get laid twice for just the price of admission for this Mtour guy, whether in Sosua or FOD or BBs. Maybe you save a bit on taxis though. This is the North Coast. I could see the value of it in Santiago or maybe Santo Domingo, but really, this Mtour stuff brings "hand holding" of the monger to new levels. That is one reason I would like to see someone with more than 25 posts truly evaluate this service. Maybe there is something there I don't see.
Two, BBs instituted a pretty strict policy of not posting pics of the chicas (clothed or not) on the internet without the express consent of the girl involved. Some of this stems from the video of the bikini contest that made its way on the internet, and some is to protect the chica from family finding out about their "job". This is one reason you don't see many pics of BBs girls on the board and only from their newsletter which has a targeted audience unlike the internet.
My 2 cents,
P
Doker,

It seems most of this forum is geared towards BlackBeards information. What are the local spots to hit in Puerto Plata other than Crystals or other tourist traps?

I'm still looking for them. I just know there are some out there and I would love to hear someone expose them to the group.
We all hate the price of taxis and also the rental car counters at the airport can be pricey. On my last two trips I was able to identify a Dominican who rents his person vehicles to anyone traveling in the area. I have found this arrangement to be more convenient and well priced.
I remember one time I had a flat tire with one of his SUV, he dropped what he was doing to come repair this for me. Also, he speak pretty good English since he used to live in NY. If you need a vehicle PM me for Domingo's contact information.

It may be more convenient and easier dealing with a local guy and renting his car, but if something bad happens, I am not sure about the insurance coverage when renting a private car.

This is where I meet Melinda the big ass nice tit light skin Cuban looking chica.
Thanks to the people on this forum for all the great infor. I really had a great trip based on the infor found you guys are great. I speak very little spanish but I don't feel the "MAN TOUR" is for me and I made visits all over Puerto Plata and had a great time solo. I also spend 3 days in Sosua which you can find that report and photo's in the Sosua forum. Now, Here are the photo's of all the sexxy azz chicas that had me BLASTING time and time again.
Not pictured are 5 very sexxy women in Costambar JoAnna, Mary, Johanny I think was her name. Mary and Karima all these lovely are simply beautiful, all with special DDG azzes that give that CFM look they are so sexy I would be the fool not to see each one of them again.

Great pics. I porked #3 with the yellow top early Jan 2010 during my stay at BlackBeards where she was working at the time. She's 19. Let me see if I can get these pics in. Take care

I believe you are talking about "Homerun" in Montellano. A large tipico on the left side heading on the main highway towards Pueto Plata, can't miss it, its before Playa Dorada.

You bring up a good point. His cars are insured so I would assume that will cover any damages. But, i will check the insurance coverage he has next time in more details to understand what it covers.
I don't think Home Run is even open.Was by there 4xs last week nothing.
I think the one the guys talking about is 100 yards from FOD entance same side of road.Problem with that place is its closed most of the time but when it is open and has an Open aired concert there is people everywhere.I guess a person would have to read the local paper to find out when the big events are.
If your looking for bars and your the only gringo almost exactly across the street from where Dominican Billy lives (the big Pink building south side of road on the hill) where the main road is still separated by concrete barriers about a mile short of road to get to Blackbeards there is bunch of bars there.
Your directions would be coming from the airport? Are chicas available there on a regular basis or is it hit or miss? Any other spots you know of?

It looks pretty much clear it is on the road FROM the airport TO Puerto Plata..:)

But, i will check the insurance coverage he has next time in more details to understand what it covers.Insurance companies can disclaim coverage if they issue a non-commercial policy and they discover the car was being used for commercial purposes (such as being rented out).
The main problem is that in the Dominican Republic the police can put a driver into jail after an accident, if they believe the driver doesn't have proper coverage for an accident. I don't think most guys want to be hanging out in a Dominican jail while insurance coverage is sorted out.
I can remember reading about a a scam a few years ago, involving rental cars, wherein the persons renting the car, had their own vehicles stolen, in order to extract more money from the person renting the car.
If you feel comfortable renting from your guy, no problema.

Jaosousa brings up a very valid point. Are you aware if you are in an accident which causes bodily injury you go directly to jail until you can prove you have proper insurance?
Your directions would be coming from the airport? Are chicas available there on a regular basis or is it hit or miss? Any other spots you know of?Just about in the middle of the sugar cane fields, when heading from the airport to Puerto Plata, on the left hand side of the road, big place. About ten minutes from the airport, place seems busier on the weekends, friday and saturday nights. Earlier during the week usually few people.

So the tipico would be past Puerto Plata and on the left. What about chicas? That is more important than left side of the road or right.
Kindly excuse me as I am a newbie on the Puerto Plata forum. I always go to Santo Domingo. I thought Puerto Plata might be a nice change of pace for a few days but it seems it is BlackBeards or nothing. BlackBeards is not for me.

It's not past Puerto Plata, when heading from the airport towards Puerto Plata, the tipico is on the left with a huge sign you can't miss.
IMO, the problems with most tipicos is that most Dominicans are coupled up and everybody is seated, so you won't find any girls sitting and drinking alone like you would inside bars/discos in Sosua. They will be sitting with others, so you will need to be confident in your spanish and approaching skills. Chicas going to tipicos alone is practically unheard of. Tipicos are also very very loud, so conversations will be difficult. Dominican guys usually will wait until a song starts and then go on the hunt looking for dance partners. It's not uncommon if you are sitting with two or more chicas that they will ask for your permission to dance with one of them. Groups of chicas do go together but most of them will be regular local folk, not putas, and you probably won't be able to tell them apart.
I recall a puta bar down the block and across the street from the famous chinese restaurant near the large intersection where all the carro publicos that go to Imbert, Maimon and other towns. Everyone knows the spot if you go there and looking on google maps, it should be on avenida colon. Also, there is a car wash on the same side further down the block.
Other than Cristals, there is also El Bohem(sp?) or cruising around the malecon in one of those bars. Plus, it won't hurt to ask a motoconcho to take you to good puta spot, since they have first hand knowledge of everything going on in Sosua.
Off of the beaten path, I had a very good time at the bar inside the gas station off of the main road leading into the town of Sabaneta de Yasica(next town after cabarete) and a couple of my buddies love hanging out in the town of Montellano, making a left after the gas station, you'll see all of the motoconchos parked there.

Thank you so much Terry U. Your post was just the information I was looking for.

Trip dates: 29 Dec 09 to 6 Jan 10
Exchange rate: 36.05 pesos RD equals 1 USD.
Me and my 2 wingmen travelled to POP for 1 night in Sosua and the remainder at BB's. It was a decent trip. Spent the 1st night at a new hotel owned by a nice English speaking Costa Rican lady who formerly owned Casa Valeria but sold out. Her new place, Hotel El Rancho (hotelelranchososua@yahoo.com) is located on #36 Calle Dr. Rosen within easy walking distance to everything in Sosua. Chica friendly with a good night watchmen, they must have cedula. $45/night but they have a few larger rooms and 2 apts I believe. Brand new place. Recommended location, quieter side street near the water. We banged out some chicas in there of course taken from Club 59. Finally hit the rack at 0300.
Next day our white, Belgian driver took us to Cabarete for brunch on the beach at Jose O'Sheas bar as I had planned. I like this place. Had a prior arrangement with the owner of the nearby Oxygen Retreat (www.oxygenretreat.com). They are located 5 minutes east of Cabarete. He gave us a great tour, very open about everything. He had 6 guests there at the time. We talked with several of them. Smoking hot chicas, mostly college students were working there. Plan on spending $700-1500 a night though depending on your service level. This place is very nice and totally enclosed. Very private. Still, I found that a few of the chicas at BB's were at par with what O2 had working there from what I saw.
Next, we were off to Field of Dreams (www.fieldofdreamsinn.com). Met the new American manager and we believe he will get this local mafia owned place up to par quickly as it was spiraling downhill quickly of late. He's one of us and he gets it, even let us tour the kitchen. The owner of BB's showed up while we were there for a tour by a local real estate agent, as a prospective buyer. What a coincidence...lol. We told him we were on the way to his place ASAP...lol. Selling price for FOD: $1.5 million. Any takers? Didn't think so. I read my emails there while my 2 wingmen did an ST orgy in one room with 2 FOD chicas. Total price for everything for them was around $100 for the both of them including the ST room rental. We ended up stopping by FOD 2 more times during this trip while touring around. The rooms are OK. The place has alot of potential but needs work. BB's is still better...for now.
Arrived as expected before dark at BB's and checked in. My 2 buddies were leaving on 3 Jan, I was there till the 5th. Split the "Penthouse Suit" with one of my friends, at $69.00/night each. We banged out some chicas on night 1. Night 2 sucked ass. All of the chicas made a business decision and elected to pay the fine for not working their scheduled shift on New Years Eve, so they could go home with their families. We were PISSED. BB's was full too. NO chicas were there. NONE! So, undaunted I grabbed a taxi and hit the Play Dorada area and found a couple of SG's and brought them back in. I banged out one while my friends decided to drink, smoke cigars, and just hung out with the other who had a ridiculous bubble butt. They didn't care. They had been in Thailand for 3 weeks only a month earlier and each banged out 15 chicas on that trip alone, so they needed a night off anyway.
Still pissed, we abandoned BB's on New Years Day for a road trip, went to FOD again to just hang out with the American manager and relax. Came back to BB's later and banged out some more chicas. The food was a little off the first 2 days but after the crowd left, my meals were just fine. Breakfast is always good there. Saturday had us enjoying the "Bikini Contest". We enjoyed that and I banged out this 22 y/o light-skinned chica from Santiago who just arrived in for work as the contest was wrapping up. I'll post some pics of the contest here. BB's is open to the ex-pat public who often stop in there for a drink/dinner/or the contest. The place was starting to empty by 3 Jan and the reservation board said 11 guests were still there but I felt almost alone and liked it. Target rich environment. Took my friends back to the airport, stopping by FOD for lunch on the way. Upon my return to BB's I banged out this smoking hot 19 y/o dirty blond, Pic attached below. She was #6 in the bikini contest BTW. The place was almost empty.
Anyway, I did some more damage till my taxi showed up to take me back to the airport. BB's will let you hang out in your room a little longer for free if they aren't busy and your flight isn't leaving till later. So, I took advantage and banged one more out at 1PM. Left at 2:15 for POP. I'd go back but not for New Years Eve. Stay away on that one night, its a cultural thing with the locals.
Great report Geolopes. Thats the kind of report that keeps me reading.

Nice report. $700/night and up at Oxygen, not worth even a look. The pricing is not even market driven or realistic. $700 can maintain you for a couple of days with a lot of chicas most places in the DR. What is the owner smoking? If you want the so call college chicks the resort claims all you have to do is hang around one of the major universities and get them a lot cheaper and before they become jaded ;)

Years ago I liked to hang out in the afternoon at the little bars/restaurants at the end of the Malecon where it turns into Mirabal. Before they tore down those places and did a lot of construction there was a constant stream of chicas in that area. You'd see very cute chicas cruising by on pasolas as well as very low end crackhead chicas doing lunchtime BJ's in parked cars along the Malecon for a hundred pesos. Is there anything going on along the PP Malecon anymore?

I totally agree with you. I have stayed there and had a wonderful time but for me it was not worth the price.
That said, it does serve a purpose for some people. For example, if you were a successful attorney from N. Y., married, and money wasn't an issue I would probably recommend the Oxygen retreat as most of the guys staying there are in the same boat as you and you won't be dealing with some guy with his hat on sideways, pants sagging down to his knees, wearing "wife beaters" every day, taking pictures of every piece of ass that walks by, talking shit about the girls in his "hood", making it "rain", blah, blah, blah. My last four trips to BB's and FOD I had the displeasure of having this "type" around me and the first thought that came to mind was next time I come here I am renting a villa and the hell with these fucking clowns.
The fact that they had six clients staying there when you visited tells you that there is a need for a high end place like theirs, it's just not for everyone, myself included. Viking resort was very successful for many years until the owner made a fatal mistake and landed himself in a Brazillian prison.
Yea I hung out there last week alot by day some at night.Not much there.Malecon is hit and miss .Better off cruising the streets.I guess it depends when the college girls are in school or not.I have no idea when they are and when they are not.The beach there seems to get dirtier each trip.I did not spend much time there though on weekends because my ass is planted in beach chair in Sosua so couldn't tell you how it is then.
I tell you if you want street action go past Cabarete turn right towards Moca over the mountains from the moment you turn the corner till you get to Moca there is girls looking to hitch rides without a Taxi in sight.Some girls holler "Beso" which means kiss in English.No stunners but Sosua quality the whole way pretty much from early morning to late afternoon.

You can find chicas working as waitresses in La Cubacana on the outside of Puerto Plata. Entrance of small town named San Marcos.
are there to drink all day but they never say no if you pay their 15US salida and then for 50$ you can screw them all night.

i was in the area mid january 2010. i rode several times from mirabal to the fort and saw absolutely nothing as far as available chicas. the area which i believe is called long beach is chica-less. there are recently built little food stands rep001tered along the malecon. i saw no bars to just hang out, have a beer, and watch chicas. this being my first time in puerto plata and limited free time i saw nothing to attract a chica chaser, nothing. on saturday i rode through the area around 10pm and saw zero available chicas. if you are hungry they do have some good food stands open at night, just bring your own chica.
there must be somewhere to go in puerto plata other than fod and bb, at least i would hope so.

there must be somewhere to go in puerto plata other than fod and bb, at least i would hope so.yep, just about zero p4p going on near the malecon lately. sometimes you can find a stray chica trolling for guys. there are quite a few local dominican bars, but the girls aren't great (usually). one of my favorite activities is to hunt for a gem at the local spots. there are a couple open on el muelle (street) (consulado and pasion), plus a couple on the main road. if that fails, cristals and/or la bohem are places where you can pretty much guarantee hooking up with a great looking chica (not necessarily great in the sack, though)
when the local bars close, you can sometimes catch chicas on the street on their way home. they are always grateful for a free ride somewhere with a stop at a cabana.
It's not past Puerto Plata, when heading from the airport towards Puerto Plata, the tipico is on the left with a huge sign you can't miss.It's called the campito bar. On the right hand side of the road as you head to the airport from Puerto Plata.
Groups of chicas do go together but most of them will be regular local folk, not putas, and you probably won't be able to tell them apart.If she has a small tattoo on their neck or breast, you can pretty much be assured shes a p4p prospect. It's a well-known advertisement here. This does not apply to North American or European chicas who are here for vacation, however.
I don't think Home Run is even open.Was by there 4xs last week nothing.
I think the one the guys talking about is 100 yards from FOD entance same side of road.Problem with that place is its closed most of the time but when it is open and has an Open aired concert there is people everywhere.I guess a person would have to read the local paper to find out when the big events are.
There are a few of these. Home Run, La Canita, Campito Bar, and Rancho Tipico. To know when they have events, read the stenciled signs posted along the main highway. They advertise live entertainment or another event and will say something like "Campito Bar, Los Hermanos Morenos, Jueves, Febrero 14". If you don't know where the place is, just ask a couple of people.

Met the new American manager and we believe he will get this local mafia owned place up to par quickly as it was spiraling downhill quickly of late.
Where on earth did you come up with the idea that FoD is (or ever has been) "mafia owned"? It is at present owned by ANOECA, a long-established and respected finance house which previously underwrote its ownership by a consortium of (mostly North American) mongers headed by the well-known Dominican Billy.
I wouldn't repeat that statement in the DR or you might find yourself facing a libel suit from an extremely well-connected litigant.
I agree that Randall, the new American manager, looks the part so far, but it is a marathon not a sprint. Let's see if he is still there in six months time. I hope he will be, but I wouldn't put money on it.
........If she has a small tattoo on their neck or breast, you can pretty much be assured shes a p4p prospect. It's a well-known advertisement here.......
LMAO, these chicas are something else. Can you tell by the tattoo what her price is for ST and TLN.
You sure know your stuff and better believe I will start looking for tattoos.
one advantage of being at fod is its across from playa dorada. non pros mostly there.
coco bongo mostly locals i really don't like it there. really loud not many single girls.
senor rock is a hard rock cafe copy right next to coco bongo alot of european chics with dominican boyfriends there.
roadway my favorite i love this place. non pros very nice looking ones. only saw working girls there once (sosua quality)most girls are there with their boyfriends.
spice its by the american casino first left after entering main (north entrance)to playa dorada.this place alot more single chics its closer to the road and the barrio so i think it attracts more of the regular crowd. i left there 5am and there was girls still coming in hollering papi papi so there was working girls here and the other girls there were friendlier than the other bars.
keep in mind bars are also rep001tered on the malecon opposite of beach and one block in from that.
one thing too instead of cruising the malecon by day turn right by crystals and go into that barrio. its kind of hidden (its between playa dorado and the malecon)but there is girls everywhere in there and no gringos but not for faint of heart. just don't turn into dirt alley its probably dead end.
in a pinch ask a motorconcho to take you to a big disco in puerto plata(then follow in your car) they are also rep001tered but most are no more than couple blocks from the water.
one of my favorite is down by the ships. past anoeca then left 100 yards.
if you keep your eyes peeled the disco by fod el campito one guy had the name correct is busy sometimes then again that small town half way inbetween has large disco. one often looked over is right near the airport the town that was built for the charmico evacuees. there is a large bar on the puerto plata west side of the village right near the road.

that small town half way inbetween has large disco. One often looked over is right near the airport the town that was built for the Charmico evacuees. There is a large bar on the Puerto Plata west side of the village right near the road.The town is called La Union. There was a squatters village called Tiberon which was also in a prime beach/riverfront location (near Los Charimicos) where the plan is to put in a marina. I don't know about progress on construction of the marina, but about 9 months to a year ago they moved all the squatters to La Union, and gave each family title to an apartment in the government-constructed apartment complexes in La Union. Then they bulldozed the former village of Tiberon flat.
If you go to a local barrio, like La Union or the one near Cristal's my advice would be to go with a local who you trust. 99. 9% of the locals are honest hard-working people. It's the 0. 1% who aren't who can be a problem. A local (who preferably speaks Spanish) can help identify and avoid them.

Lopx,
That said, it does serve a purpose for some people. For example, if you were a successful attorney from N. Y., married, and money wasn't an issue I would probably recommend the Oxygen retreat as most of the guys staying there are in the same boat as you and you won't be dealing with some guy with his hat on sideways, pants sagging down to his knees, wearing "wife beaters" every day, taking pictures of every piece of ass that walks by, talking shit about the girls in his "hood", making it "rain", blah, blah, blah. My last four trips to BB's and FOD I had the displeasure of having this "type" around me and the first thought that came to mind was next time I come here I am renting a villa and the hell with these fucking clowns.Your right those "fucking clowns"as you say would never pay those inflated prices. Those Ny attorneys are paying for exclusivity and what they think is better quality. I wouldn't give a fuck if a dude walked in BB in a dress and a purse and grabbed all the fine chicks and left a trail of money to his room. When I'm bar hopping in sosua the germans are there listening(most germans speak english)to americans and they are probaly saying how stupid Americans are, am I supposed to let this influence what I do? I have seen the "type" you described at BB and have never felt unsafe around them. My point is if everone in this world were the same it would be boring. I look at it all as entertainment.

There are a few of these. Home Run, La Canita, Campito Bar, and Rancho Tipico. To know when they have events, read the stenciled signs posted along the main highway. They advertise live entertainment or another event and will say something like "Campito Bar, Los Hermanos Morenos, Jueves, Febrero 14". If you don't know where the place is, just ask a couple of people.If you're traveling west on the malecon and get to La Sirena supermarket, just past is 16 de Agosto. Take a left there and go up two blocks. There are two bars on opposing corners. One is called Charlie's and the other is called Choro's, if I remember correctly. They are a father/son operation. Many, many chicas on the weekends, though not visited by many gringos, if any. I was a bit surprised, however, to actually see 3 or 4 gringos hanging out one night when I was there last November. For those of you who make fairly frequent trips I would stop in on occasion, usually on the weekends, and make your face(s) familiar. Never know what might develop.
There really are quite a few local hole-in-the-wall joints to hang at but you've got to spend some time in PP and, possibly, get to know some locals who, obviously, know the local environment better than most visitors who might stick to the more mainstream places.
i went here about a year ago and was in a crap hotel called the fun tropical, right next to the golf course. if you went down to the beach bar and turned right and walked along the beach for a while you came to a water inlet. if you walked through the water there was a "bar". [deleted by admin]

I went here about a year ago and was in a crap hotel called the Fun Tropical, right next to the golf course. If you went down to the beach bar and turned right and walked along the beach for a while you came to a water inlet. If you walked through the water there was a "bar". There were a couple of teen girls who you could take in to a bedroom on the side for some fun! Does any one know if it still going as I going back in October?I suggest going to BBs and meeting some older girls.
Your post suggests problems all around.
I suggest going to BBs and meeting some older girls. Your post suggests problems all around.I can't really go to far as on holiday with the family-any suggestions?
When I return to the resort in October with the family is ther any where local to the beach, mall or golf course to find some action? I need to slip away alone and don't want to have to travel too far?
I can't really go to far as on holiday with the family-any suggestions?Take the family to one of the all inclusive hotels in Playa Dorada complex. Then you can walk to field of dreams. Field of Dreams has chicas and you can rent a room there for an hour or more to get your freak on. Playa Dorada has a nice golf course, you can tell the wifey you want to see the golf course. Not sure if you play golf, if you do, then you can say you went to play golf (and disappear for a few hours).
In Sosua you can stay at the casa marina all inclusive, or the sosua bay hotel all inclusive, and then take a walk into town, for your situation, Passions Massage in Sosua would probably be the most convenient.
There should be a pharmacy in Playa Dorada complex where you can buy Cialis, viagra or la pella, no prescription needed. Sosua has a bunch of pharmacies that sell those products as well.
When I return to the resort in October with the family is ther any where local to the beach, mall or golf course to find some action? I need to slip away alone and don't want to have to travel too far?
Forget the action. Do you realize the repercussions of getting caught?

Casa Marina is embedded in Sosua and the 'temptations' of the place are difficult for a wife not to notice. Playa Dorada on the other hand is a huge complex isolated from anything sordid with nothing even on the drive around town or from the airport that's in her face.
Crystals is a short cab ride away, FOD is right across the street. That's the whole point of these establishments. The poster would not be the first to take the risk.
If you go to a local barrio, like La Union or the one near Cristal's my advice would be to go with a local who you trust. 99. 9% of the locals are honest hard-working people. It's the 0. 1% who aren't who can be a problem. A local (who preferably speaks Spanish) can help identify and avoid them.I would agree, areas like La Union, Sosua Abajo and areas of Montellano are not areas you should go unless you are escorted by a known dominican who lives there. Even charamicos at night could be risky for gringo who don't know the terrain or how to handle spanish well enough. There are known gangs in Sosua and you would want to be careful.
Treat those areas like you would treat some of the dangerous barrios in Santiago like Cien Fuego and others.
Forget the action. Do you realize the repercussions of getting caught?Hey not getting found out is part of the fun! The wifes busy on the beach and shops and I can go find some fun!

Toollad2,
It sounds like you were in that little condo development just west down the beach from Playa Dorado (I forgot the name of it) -- it's a long walk, you must have really wanted to meet some chicas. There is one decent beach bar and an "Orange Market" full of small shops selling souveniers, etc.
It busy on Sundays when lots of Dominicans go to the beach, otherwise, there isn't much going on there most of the time.
For a shorter walk, and a better likelihood of finding chicas, just go to Field of Dreams. It's right across from the second entrance to Playa Dorada (not the main west entrance, but east entrance (on the side towards the airport).
Hi all,
When I return to the DR in October is it safe to go out past the gun guards on the main entrance alone? When we were there last year we went on the coach to go white water rafting and went via a tour along the beach road. I noticed lots of gangs of youths on the street corners.Of course it's in the hotel owner's interest to make it seem like it's dangerous to leave their property -- it's not. Most places in Puerto Plata are safe, especially in the city center. All are good places to find chicas, 18 years +, of course. The youths hanging out on street corners are just kids sitting around watching the world go by. It's better than TV.

(and Mantour Guy)
Toollad2,
To get to Field of Dreams, when you are in Playa Dorada complex, with the beach to your back, take the main road in Playa Dorada going left, that road will bring you to the service entrance of Playa Dorada, across the road from there, will be Field of Dreams. It is safe.
If you to go Crystals Bar near the malecon, take a taxi from Playa Dorada and you will be safe.
There is crime everywhere in this world, be careful, don't get drop dead drunk and you should have no problems.
Stick to the well known places mentioned on this board, Feld of Dreams, Crystals, Blackbeards, Passions Massage in Sosua and as a newbie you should have no problems.
Toollad2,
If you want see more of the local scene, you can contact the mantour guy and take a guided tour with him.

When I return to the resort in October with the family is ther any where local to the beach, mall or golf course to find some action? I need to slip away alone and don't want to have to travel too far?Walk or take a 300 peso taxi ride to FOD directly across the street from the service entrance to Playa Dorada.
Call them to make sure they have a short term room available because when I was there in January they were fully booked three of the 8 days I was there and turned away quite a few locals looking for short term rooms. In addition they ere considering doing away with renting short term due to some instances of locals coming in drunk and waking up the guests with their noise and shit. i was woken up at 3 a.m. twice,I was PISSED. If you can't get a room at FOD you can always grab a girl from there and take her to the brand new cabana down the street,don't know the name but Roberto owns it. Go to FOD early (before 8 p.m.) as the girls don't stick around late.

After reading Manizales911 trip report on the improvements of the place I am convinced that I want to check it out. I will be staying in Sosua but I am considering double-booking at FOD to have a place to hang at during the daytime just in case New Garden is dead.
Can anyone else chime in on (number of) the chicas at FOD? I'm guessing that even if there are not a lot of chicas there I can always scoot on over to BB's and pay salida if I find a chica I like there and bring her back to FOD. Is the salida fee at BB's still 800RD?

I plan on going back in July.

If so how was it. Is it near to all the hot spot.Also try seabreeze if your on a budget.
Europa
Better off sleeping on sidewalk that place sucks!
New Garden Hotel,Terra linda resort,Sea Breeze Hotel are alot better!

its not hard to get Puerto Plata the county or province mixed up with the city .My first trip I stayed at the europa it was awful.when I got off the plane I was determined to go to Puerto Plata where the hotel was but a guy I met on the plane said no the Hotel is in Sosua so off I went.

I can see you are a newbie to the forum so I will try to be nice to you.
You posted in the wrong thread in the DR section for your question. There is a thread for Sosua and even one for Sosua hotels in the DR forum. Posting there may get you a better response, but really, RTFF and then if you still have a question, post in the appropriate thread.
Good luck.

I had to laugh at this post. This guy should be working for the US Treasury. (Perhaps he already is?). He is staying at the New Garden in Sosúa, but wants to book a (slightly more expensive) room at Field of Dreams as well, in case the New Garden is dead? What about the rest of Sosúa (300 chicas within 5 minutes walk of New Garden?)
Then he wants to go to Barba Negra and pay 800 pesos salida to take a chica back to Field of Dreams? Sure you don't want to book a room at Barba Negra as well, just to be on the safe side? Then you could salida a chica out of Passions in Sosúa and take her back to Costambar.

I only asked about BB's because if there were no chicas of note at FOD then I would give BB's a look-see as sort of a last option (knowing that I would more than likely not be disappointed with their selection). I plan to be in DR long enough to get out of Sosua for a couple of days.
I and felt going to FOD would be modest considering most guys I know who stay in Sosua venture out to places like Santiago, La Vega, or even take that long-ass bus ride to SD (none of which I have yet to do)!
And what's so great about working for the Treasury again? I personally would never admit to being a Federal employee. I have my standards ;-)

I was just busting your chops.I am sure when SavePros referred to double booking at FOD he was talking about getting a room there for short term (800 pesos). Full booking at FOD is only 60.USD which includes breakfast which depending on what room at NG he were to book it is LESS expensive.
SavePros, I know you were looking for someone other than me to post on girl availability but seeing as no one stepped up to the plate I will reiterate that there was a 360 degree change from my recent visit in January from my previous 3 visits,some of the best former talent at BB's is now at FOD,ie. India,Ibel and two others whose names escape me but whose sessions don't. The caveat being that you don't want to go too late and though there was a sufficient number of girls there during the week there were more on the weekend due to more guys being booked there.
I am returning to DR in March and hope to rent a villa for a change with a couple of friends of mine and FOD will be one of the places we will be pulling girls from,we are looking for one more person if there are any members (senior) that would be interested. Dates to be determined as I can go anytime and will adjust to other peoples schedules.

I would agree, areas like La Union, Sosua Abajo and areas of Montellano are not areas you should go unless you are escorted by a known dominican who lives there. Even charamicos at night could be risky for gringo who don't know the terrain or how to handle spanish well enough. There are known gangs in Sosua and you would want to be careful.
Treat those areas like you would treat some of the dangerous barrios in Santiago like Cien Fuego and others.
I agree. I have often gone home with a chica and I find the barrios very safe if you are a guest of somebody in the hood. Barrios are very densely populated and everyone knows everyone else's business. The motoconcho who lives a mile away may be just as much a stranger as a gringo (though less interesting). If you are connected to a resident in good standing you are safe.
Having sex in a barrio when the neighbors are literally 5 feet from your head and there is no glass in any windows is a different experience too. Not only does everyone in the hood know you did it, they know what positions you like, how many times she came, how you prefer to bust a nut -etc. Everyone is the part of the show for everyone else and you have to get used to it.
If you go with a chica obviously you won't be picking up any other chicas, however you get a lot of discreet looks and a check out a lot of future potential. If you have been good to your chica, buying her presents and such, this will already be known to every other cute chica.

I have never had a problem when driving people home late at night in various barrios (except for getting lost after I dropped them off, haha).
In the daytime the kids will approach, you give them a dollar, they go crazy, they go running to the colmado to buy candy. In the daytime you see the local talent, sometimes with rollers in their hair walking around or sitting in front of their houses.
So true there is not much privacy, the neighbors all know each other and see the comings and goings.

This is excellent intel. I never considered doing a chica at her place in the barrio for purely safety reasons. You never know if the husband of boyfriend returns unexpectedly. Having taken girls at their place in the hood in the U.S., though, your points are quite valid.

You will be welcomed with open arms by 95% of the people living there but as you sit around I guarantee you some young punk is sizing you up. Every barrio I have been in in the DR and any third world country for that matter has a few bad guys at the very least so even though you may feel comfortable being there with someone that lives there and everyone is treating you well doesn't mean you are even close to being safe,you are NOT. That doesn't stop me from going,I like imbibing myself in the local culture myself and there is no better way to do that than pounding down some Presidentes with the locals but beware,you are being watched and evaluated as to whether or not you are a good target make no mistake about it.

I only asked about BB's because if there were no chicas of note at FOD then I would give BB's a look-see as sort of a last option (knowing that I would more than likely not be disappointed with their selection). I plan to be in DR long enough to get out of Sosua for a couple of days.

FYI,
In both cases, (FOD, BB) its often a matter of potluck as to who will be there at a given time/day, so judging on the basis of one brief visit can be misleading.
Numbers at BB overall are greater, as the girls are assigned "shifts", day or night when to be there. FOD might average 5-10 at any given time (based on a visit this summer). BB might average 10-15.
Usually, later in the week and in the day, the numbers/selection is better, as more will show up when business is expected to pick up.
On slow days/times (SUN, MON, TUE, or 11am-1/2pm) the girls don't want to waste their time when there is no business, so girls at FOD are not obligated and may not be there, and BB girls may beg off so they can take care of chores, kids, pay bills, etc.
For this reason, if you already know of a particular girl you like, you might want to arrange a day in advance, by stopping by, leaving word for her to be called, etc.
And sometimes, you might just "get lucky".
Lately posts have reported India and Ybel, both formerly at BB, to have been spotted at FOD. Both are "not to be missed".

I have my standards ;-)I have done the "long ass bus ride" to SDQ and back to POP a handful of times and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The buses are extremely modern and comfortable. The mongering opportunities in POP are pale in comparison to SDQ and though Sosua has them both beat in numbers of girls in a small area the quality in SDQ is much better so if you have time on your hands and don't mind the bus trip it is worth the look. It is four and a half hours give or take and leave every hour(I think) at Caribe Tours.

She looked hotter than ever, looked like she had lost a little weight or maybe hitting the gym. One of the guys that I was hangin' with at FOD approached her on my recommendation and she quoted him 2500 pesos for ST, being an experienced monger he told her to take a hike. Here are a couple pics of her during a bikini contest that me and my wingman were judges of a while back. She didn't win, we picked Johanni.
One note about Ibel:

I am sure when SavePros referred to double booking at FOD he was talking about getting a room there for short term (800 pesos). Full booking at FOD is only 60.USD which includes breakfast which depending on what room at NG he were to book it is LESS expensive.
SavePros, I know you were looking for someone other than me to post on girl availability but seeing as no one stepped up to the plate I will reiterate that there was a 360 degree change from my recent visit in January from my previous 3 visits,some of the best former talent at BB's is now at FOD,ie. India,Ibel and two others whose names escape me but whose sessions don't. The caveat being that you don't want to go too late and though there was a sufficient number of girls there during the week there were more on the weekend due to more guys being booked there.
I am returning to DR in March and hope to rent a villa for a change with a couple of friends of mine and FOD will be one of the places we will be pulling girls from,we are looking for one more person if there are any members (senior) that would be interested. Dates to be determined as I can go anytime and will adjust to other peoples schedules.
Thanks for the info amigo!
I have its an awwwwwsome place...its near ALLL the hot spots...great security too. Right across the street you have a guy selling BBQ chicken (great place for a 4am snack). You have a few bars walking distance, real friendly service and people from the states.
I plan on going back in July.Did you ever stayed at the seabreeze, if so how was it and which one you like better.

There's a bank across from the rental car agencies next to the shoe shine section. I would suggest you bring cash and exchange it when you arrive for possibly better rates and saving on the foreign transaction fees you will occur.

He can go inside the bank and exchange his dollars without incurring a fee. Now, there are cambios in Sosua that will give you 35-1 or a little above the percentage point. Since most dominican ATMs only give out RD$10,000 pesos, you are saving about RD$300, but since many US banks will charge up to US$10 on foreign transactions fees, it pretty much breaks even.
Since there is rampant ATM fraud in this country, especially in Sosua, it's always recommended to avoid ATMs when possible.
Now, I hear that Bank of America cards do not incur fees at Scotia Bank.

Now, I hear that Bank of America cards do not incur fees at Scotia Bank.Three weeks ago I got 36.15-1 out of the ATM and I don't get charged any fees. Try to walk into a bank with a fist full of dollars and get that high of a rate,it isn't going to happen.
That bank I mentioned will exchange cash for you.
I would suggest changing as little cash as needed at the airport bank and then depending where you go, you can exchange at a better rates when you arrive. Taxi drivers love US dollars and airport taxi rates are based on USD.
Many Sosua cambios where close to the published exchange rates on my last trip. Near Sosua is a Caribe Tours "bank" that was very good, some Western Unions near Puerto Plata had good rates and in Costambar you can't beat Jenny's Market to exchange cash.
Cash is King in the DR with the US dollar reigning supreme. Use your Credit Card as a last resort with the exception of Rental Cars and maybe Gas stations and NOT at restaurants or hotels if you can help it. As mentioned before, ATM fraud is rampant in this country. Fees are tacked on to many bills if paid by CC.

I agree. I have often gone home with a chica and I find the barrios very safe if you are a guest of somebody in the hood. Barrios are very densely populated and everyone knows everyone else's business. The motoconcho who lives a mile away may be just as much a stranger as a gringo (though less interesting). If you are connected to a resident in good standing you are safe.
Having sex in a barrio when the neighbors are literally 5 feet from your head and there is no glass in any windows is a different experience too. Not only does everyone in the hood know you did it, they know what positions you like, how many times she came, how you prefer to bust a nut -etc. Everyone is the part of the show for everyone else and you have to get used to it.
If you go with a chica obviously you won't be picking up any other chicas, however you get a lot of discreet looks and a check out a lot of future potential. If you have been good to your chica, buying her presents and such, this will already be known to every other cute chica.I wouldn't not suggest going to a chicas house unless your spanish is pretty good. Why lose the control you have when you are in your hotel/condo? Unless you really know spanish and the chica AND the neighborhood, why risk it? Even in America, I rather have a chick come to my pad because I control everything. In DR, when you get done with her you can send her home. If you are by her pad and something goes wrong, she may can call her neighbor or whoever to come beat your azz.

I have used ATMs many, many times without any problems at all on over 30 trips.
At the airport you get a good enough rate of exchange as long as you change money at the BanReservas bank on the OUTSIDE concourse at the airport, and NOT AT THE CAMBIO INSIDE. They will give you a receipt for your money, and the good thing is that if you have Dominican cash left over at the end of your trip, on production of the receipt, they will change it back to dollars again at a fairly decent rate. There is also an ATM outside this bank which you can use safely when the bank is open, safe in the knowledge that if there is a problem, you can go right inside and report that. Same goes for other banks in Sosua.

Now, I hear that Bank of America cards do not incur fees at Scotia Bank.
Unfortunately, BofA just told me that this deal only applies to Scotia Bank in Canada (might also be good in Mexico, I forgot to ask). BofA charges fees on Scotia Bank ATM transactions in the DR
BofA charges fees on Scotia Bank ATM transactions in the DR
That is incorrect information.
I have never been charged any fees for using Scotia Bank ATM's in DR with a
Bank of America debit card. I recently got 36.05 net out of the machine while the cambios were paying 36 or 36.05.

I wouldn't do it again,I would fly, but then again I have no intention of going to Punta Cana again I thought it sucked. I have been to shitloads of nice beach resorts all over the world and for me it has lost its shine.
Hello Pro Am
This could be quite a difficult one.
Are you flying into Punta Cana? and if so are you already commited to this route. If not I would be inclined to 'pay the extra dollar' and fly into POP or as an alternative Santiago or Santo Domingo airport even.
Try this excellent Dominican tourist information forum and do a search. I'm sure there are many other people who have asked the same question.

Perhaps, but it came directly from a phone representative of BofA's ATM/Debit card security department this morning. I will ask again to see if I get a different answer. I certainly would prefer it if you were correct and that ScotiaBank ATMs could be used without fee with a BofA ATM card in the DR.
Update: BofA confirmed again to me that their partnership agreement with ScotiaBank is for Canada only - not the DR. That being said, I imagine that it would be up to ScotiaBank to determine if they charged an ATM fee for BofA ATM cards. And if they cleared the transactions through their central operations in Canada, BofA would not have any say in the matter, and would probably treat the transaction like anything else that came to them via ScotiaBank in Canada. In any case, I will not plan on using my ATM card while I'm in the DR, unless I get caught in a pinch without enough cash.

I bought a ticket to POP plus paid a small bribe!
I will repeat, there is NO charge to access your B of A cash via a Scotia Bank ATM in DR! MC International does impose a 1% charge on the conversion from USD to RD Pesos but it is built into the exchange rate. If the Interbank rate is 36.25 you will get 35.89 out of the machine.
ScotiaBank in DR is NOT ScotiaBank Canada. Seperate in everything except the use of the name. Your cash is not insured deposited locally, and is protected by CDIC on Canadian Deposits.

You're entire correct about the control. I wouldn't do it with a chica I just met, and if you are prone to getting in arguments this would be a good situation to practice your anger management techniques.

Independent of what goes on between Scotia Bank and BofA in the DR…
And if people really go through life being conscious of ATM fees, I suggest you open an account with Charles Schwab. It is the best thing I ever did ~25 years ago.
CS does not nickel and dime you with bullshit fees and are competitive in all aspects of their business when compared to standard banks. Their ATM policy is to refund their clients the ATM fees that stem from transactions anywhere in the world.
Probably the biggest thing that could use some improvement is their bill pay functionality, but it works and gets the job done.
If you can't get a room at FOD you can always grab a girl from there and take her to the brand new cabana down the street,don't know the name but Roberto owns it. Go to FOD early (before 8 p.m.) as the girls don't stick around late.It's La Roca. The first one on the right just past the entrances to Costambar. Look for the large sign. Not to be confused with La Roca the community with is a little further down the street on the right. There is a sign there too. The road to the La Roca community is in bad shape, the one to La Roca the cabana is fine.
If you can get a better deal exchanging cash than what your bank gives you out of an ATM plus fees it is time to switch banks because they are fucking you. Even the best Cambio on the island isn't as good as what you will get out of an ATM from a decent bank.There are ATM fees plus less than great bank exchange rates depending on the bank. The best rates are to be had by exchanging cash for cash at Banco RUSO in Puerto Plata or at the Caribe Tours bus terminal in Puerto Plata.
Next best: Use your ATM card at a cash machine. I do both. My latest results: ATM card: exchange rate of about 34 after all was said and done. Banco RUSO: 36.

I spent a year here without using mine, then made a couple of transactions at a couple of seemly legit businesses. The very next week my card had fraudulent charges from gas stations in Atlanta. Coincidence? I don't think so.

I can attest to the bad (and I mean bad) shape of the road to the community of La Roca. Anyone who thinks the road to Costambar is bad, and it is, should try to take this road. All of a sudden the road to Costambar looks "not so bad".
La Roca is the next small community from Costambar, heading west on the main road to Santiago. There is a really nice, modestly priced restaurant in La Roca called Los Tres Coco's. Have a taxi take you there (if you don'e want to deal with the road-especially at night) if you want a romantic night with a very special chica. Try and get a table there outside the main eating area. They have very good food and that table area has a very romantic feel as it is well off to the side and under the stars. It is closed on Tuesdays if I recall correctly. Calling ahead for reservations is a good idea. PM me for the telephone number.

Just took a trip to the La Roca cabana. It's in tip top shape (being brand new of course). They have "presidential", "executive", and "regular" rooms. I saw the "regular" room, and it was great.

I just returned P. P., 2/ 16 thru 19, 2010, add I must say I had a great time. I have been to the D. R. More than 30 over the last four years with most trips to S. D. And only two to P. P. And that with a now ex GF.
I stayed at F. O. D. And everything was great. I stayed in a Superior Room all nights and found it more than comfortable, clean, and the staff was very attentive. The girls at the hotel were good. I had three different ladies on three different days.
I will say guys that I found the prices to be all over the place depending on the provider. It ranged from 1500 to 2500 for ST and 2000 to 5000 for LT. One of the providers recommended here was the most expensive.
I used the services of The Man Tour two different nights one in Sosua and one in P. P. I have read some negative here about there services and have to say I had nothing but a great experiance both nights. I was the only client both nights. He takes the time to find out what you like and lays out all of the available venues to visit. I informed him what kind of a night I would like to have and both night delivered exactly what I wanted. Including with introductions and advise.
I informed him that I would be interested in meeting a lady for a long term relationship for which he stepped up and delivered an introduction to a great lady.
I enjoyed Sosua the most as I had never been there to monger only to visit during the day. It is amazing how many and how easy it is there. Every shape and size you could want.
I will say the best lady of the trip was from F. O. D.
You can message me for any details you might need.
Haven't gone to BB since over a year, and by reading post I realize that Ybel isn't working there anymore.

We are all here to help one another so if some chica is trying to charge a ridiculous amount like 2500st and 5000lt and you know the girls name do everyone a favor and put her name out there to save guys the bother.

Negotiated but I wouldn't go above 4000, but keep in mind you will be buying food, drink etc. for her. A word of caution...be careful doing this it can be a great bargain but you can also get into the dreaded "wived up". Yes you can break it but it can be a pain in the ass.
Girls at BB?
Do they charge extra to have sex 2 times in 2 hours? In case of TLN, if someone wanted to have sex 3-4 times will it be OK or we need to negotiate with the girl? So they object to it?
For short time if I'm finished after 15 minutes, will she leave right away?

All of the above should be discussed and understood BEFOREHAND.
Most will go by the understanding that for a Short Time, once you get off, they've done their job, and will make for the shower.
A Short Time is also considered to be up to 2 hours, so if you can/want a second within that time, tell the girl your expectations FIRST, so there are no disagreements up in the room).
In the case of TLN, its really up to you. Many will go for once at night, curl up for the night, and again in the morning. (Damn, in my case, if its done right, after the first go round I'm ready for a good night's sleep). But if you want more during the night, -its paid for. (NOTE: You can get your need across without being a jerk about it).
And an offer of breakfast in the morning is part of the deal as far as I'm concerned; (only about 6-7 bucks).

Before spending a day/night with a girl, make sure there is some chemistry, so you enjoy her company when out of bed as well. If things go well, ask about the Long Time afterwards. (You might be happy to see her leave).
Meals during that time are only common courtesy, but if at BB, the prices are quite reasonable.
Consider also that all-day means monopolizing her time when she might be earning money with other clients, so she may ask for more for all-day compared to all-night.

I'll be staying at BB o 9 and 10 march and in FOD on 11 and 12 March. Help a Newbie out and list and PM pics/Names of the chicas with the best head game (BBBJ. CIM.) And swallow.
PM me Please As I have very less time left.
Thanks for helping meCIM and swallow? Good luck with all that. I have been to BB's and FOD a bunch of times and have only gotten 4 or 5 CIM's and only one swallow and only one of those girls still works at either one and that girls name is locked in the vault and only given to senior members that don't already know who it is. Sorry but look at it this way, half the fun is in trying to find who does those things, right?
Just a note to update the current goings on at BBs. I have just returned from a "normal" trip of mine of two nights in Costambar, and then three with the novia in a furnished apartment further down the North Coast.
I stayed at BBs during what should have been two of the slowest days of the week (Sunday thru Tuesday) and the hotel was booked. No shortage of chicas available, and it was definitely a good idea to snatch them up quick if you saw one you liked. You snooze, you lose.
A lot, and I mean A LOT of new faces. Being there only two nights hampers my ability to sample all the newbies, and I followed through on commitments for dates from my previous trips, so I really can't give recommendations. I was with one chica who was there for less than 2 weeks and as cute as a button. I am unsure of her name, so I won't try (sorry). I had a nice session, but like with any new chica, you "takes your chances". She lacked oral skills and "allowed" me to screw her, if you know what I mean. She did give a nice handjob though, so I went with the flow and her "skill set" and enjoyed a nice hj from a really cute, naked Dominicana. Life could be worse....
BBs looks about as good as I have ever seen it. The improvements are noticeable to the long time visitor there. Competition is a good thing. I talked to Tim and occupancy rates have been good for the past several months and they are back to recommending reservations as much as three months in advance. The staff is really trying to bend over backwards to give good service. Again, competition is a good thing.
One thing to throw out there for you guys, is spending some time talking with the chicas. The girls know what they are paid for and will stick by your side while eating or with a group of the guys, but boy do they perk up when you try to communicate with them. It is that whole chemistry thing. I would much rather be with a chica that wants to give me good service vs. one that has to give me good service, if you get my drift.
I met up with a good bunch of guys who meet up at BBs a couple times a year and they made me feel like I was one of the "Pirates" there. I enjoyed the guy time and the girl time. All in all a good trip.
Oh yeah, I got to see the novia too.....
'Nuff said.

I am well acquainted with the position of doggie with the girl bent over forwards. What do you call it when she is bent over backwards, other than extreme flexibility, of course?
Ponderosa,
Thanks for the update.
Ponderosa,
Thanks for the great update, makes me feel better about my trip in April 11-14.
Any suggestions on the quickest way to brush up on my Spanish, I also agree the chemistry is very important, hard to feel them out like you said cause "if ya snooze ya lose". Not big on aggressive types or the seasoned veterans, looking for some laid back chicas that are somewhat new to BB.

I too like the less aggressive chicas. Most of them can't speak much English so Spanish is important.
Rosetta Stone is the premier software to learn some Spanish, but for me it tied me to the computer too much. I looked for something that I could learn in my car while driving.
I bought and recommend Penton Overseas learn in you car series. I learned enough in my first CD to communicate and am now up to the intermediate level. You don't have to speak good Spanish, just enough and joke around with the chicas, they love it. I tell them I don't speak Spanish, I speak Gringo (No hablo espanol, hablo GRINGO) and they laugh every time.

Yes, I think that course is good too. It is only about $30 for 9 CDs.
Also, if tied to the computer, with a bit of computer know how, you can copy all the files to an mp3 player (you may need to convert them to mp3) and then you can take them anywhere you like with you to practice,, though playing them in a car is usually an excellent way of doing it.
I am currently learning Hatian Creole and have an mp3 player which was about $20 from Dollar General. This player is excellent because it runs off a single AAA battery which can easily be replaced, and it also takes a plug in card like a camera memory card, so you can put all your language files, dictionaries etc. on it.
I use this with a small speaker that is housed in a pouch and runs on 2 AA batteries. This was about $10 from Best Buy.You can put the mp3 player inside the speaker pouch, which will fit in a pocket so you can carry it around anywhere with you, practice in the bathroom, put it on the seat of a car etc., without having to use headphones.
Another very useful resource is the Google translator program that translates instantly online. Using sentences with simple grammar, you can write the phrases you want to use, for example "Would you like to spend the night with me" that you won't find in phrasebooks and cut and paste them into a document. If you want, and know how to, you can record these special phrases in your own voice and play them on the mp3 player.
The key to learning a language, in my opinion, is to repeat common sentences and phrases over and over and over again until they are burned into your brain and you can hear them in your sleep.
When I first went to the DR 7 years ago I had never spoken Spanish to a live person, but had spent about 6 weeks using some of the above techniques. I was able to communicate quite well with chicas, people in stores, or taxi drivers. Remember too that chicas are highly motivated to communicate with you, so they can be the best teachers and you can get a lot of free conversational Spanish instruction from these native speakers without paying for lessons.
I am now fairly fluent in conversational Spanish, but that takes longer.
A lot of Spanish vocabulary is similar to English, for example words like "antibiotico" or "infecion" are pretty much the same, so what you really need to concentrate on are the basic structures of conversation, greetings, numbers, how to ask a question etc.rather than on learning lists of vocabulary.
Beware, though of false cognates, words in Spanish that look like English words, but have subtly diffent meanings. For example, "embarasada" means pregnant, not embarrassed, and there are quite a few words like this.
A couple more words that you are bound to run into, but often not in teaching materials are SIDA which is AIDS, and "condone" which is a rubber cap for you dick. "Chupar" and "mamar" are words for suck, and "guevo" and "pene" are your dick. "Toto" is the most common word for pussy.
Spanish isn't hard once you learn a few good conversational tricks. Here is one good last phase. "Se puede" means "may I?" and is useful both in and out of bed.
Spanish verb tenses take a bit of learning, but a couple of good tricks for beginners that make you sound good are to use these constructions:
1) "me voy + infinitive" = I am going to...
2) Verb form + -ando,or -iendo for present participle. For example "estoy hablando (I am speaking) or "que tu haciendo?" (what are you doing?)
3) He + past participle = I have... for example He Hablado con el = I spoke to him.
The trick to this is that you just add -ado or -ido to the stem of nearly all verbs to make the past participle, for example hablar--hablado, venir--venido. However the verb hacer (to do) has the form "hecho" which is an exception and a very common word (obviously).
Using thes forms can help you avoid learning more difficult future and past verb tenses and will get you started on your primary objective which is not good Spanish, but good sex.
These forms are not necessarily good idiomatic Spanish, but they are simple and they will be understood, as people will make allowances for a gringo.
If you use the Google translator, or recorded lessons, you will find they use Usted for "you". However when you are talking to a chica in the DR you should always use the word "tu" for you which is simpler, though for more than one chica you still have to used Ustedes.

Is there a prize?
How about the "r" or "h" position, depending on the flexibility?

Good post. My Spanish is always better when I am sober and well rested.
Hondo, funda, al fonda are words I mix up occasionally.
Funda is I believe a plastic shopping bag.
Hondo is deep, as in the water is not deep (no hondo).
Al fonda (or something like it) is usually said when I asked for directions when I am driving, supposedly the end of the road. Make a left at al fonda.
Hello Gents,
I'll be at BB's April 4-11, and this will be my first true experience in the north side of the island. I've spent a short time in Cabarete in the past and it was fun but not worth returning to IMHO. I plan on having a nice, relaxing time at BB's but am interested in exploring PP and Sosua as well, perhaps hop over to FOD to check things out during the day. Any fellow mongers that will be there at this time and would like to "branch out" as well? I have no problem with flying solo but a wingman is always appreciated :) I am non-aggressive, try not to party TOO hard, completely hetero and have sufficient Spanish skills. Have had good luck with latinas over the past several years in several countries (don't get ripped off, manage to find pretty carinosas, etc). Any takers?
Stay horny my friends, Fla Leo

Some good advice, just a little error
Going to = ir + a + infinitive
Example: I'm going to dance = voy a bailar

Example: I'm going to dance = voy a bailarThis is of course if you are talking about the future.
Irse = you should use more like going some where, if you are moving. Like
me voy pa' lla (para alla) = I'm going overthere.

Sorry, you are right.
BTW the very reasonably priced Learn In Your Car Spanish course doesn't seem to be available from Amazon now at the $30 price, but you can download it from Audible.com, with each of the three parts priced at $7.49, which is even more of a bargain. The text of the lessons can also be downloaded free as a pdf. The original course is 9 CDs of about 50 minutes each and if you do the whole course, you are pretty much good to go as far as speaking Spanish.
I Have been RTFF'ing and I have my flight, hotels, and rental car all booked. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can find a Clara store to get a phone, a pharmacy to get Cialis, and somewhere to change some money after I land in POP. My first night is at Blackbeards so I want to get those things done before I drive there. I land at 4:30 on Wed April 7th. I think I know what I need to do, I just don't know where everything is.

N,
First off, I don't know if anyone has talked to you about driving down here, but it is not for the faint of heart. I drive down here all the time now, but I was glad that I used a taxi my first time down to get a lay of the land. People here drive very aggressively, motoconchos seem to pop up out of nowhere and stop signs and stop lights appear to be more of a suggestion than anything. Signage also sucks there. Keep your head on a 360 degree swivel while driving because stuff comes from every angle. I call it driving in New York on steroids.
With all that being said, I imagine you will still drive, so here is my suggestion. There is a Claro store on the right hand side of the main drag taking you to Costambar (BBs). It is past the traffic circle you need to go through in Puerto Plata. It has a large red sign on it saying Claro. Park off to the side on the main street if at all possible.
As far as meds go, there are numerous phamacies on that same street, but I would go to the pharmacy in Costambar, just past the main entrance and Jenny's Market on the left hand side. If you are looking to exchange any money, Jenny's is about the best you will find as they give you almost bank to bank exchange rates.
Another idea would be to go left on the main drag as you come out the airport (as opposed to going right to take you to Costambar) and go to Sosua first to do your phone and Cialis. The advantage there is that you will be able to park your car in Sosua and walk to the Claro store and pharmacy, then when you get into the "lovely" traffic in the city heading to BBs you can just concentrate on driving, not on driving and finding a store.
My 2 cents,

PI don't know if there are ATM machines at the Puerto Plata airport. Last time I was there they were building new offices for the rental car companies. When I was last in POP airport all the rental car companies were lined upped next to each other behind a long L shaped counter.
While waiting near the rental car counter some Dominican guy approached me offering to exchange money. Inside the airport when you first get off the plane, there is a money exchange place but the rates suck.
Sosua is about a 15 minute ride from the airport going away from Puerto Plata. The guy should be careful about leaving his luggage and possibly electronics in a parked car, while he shops (put stuff in the trunk or out of site and don't leave valuables in a parked car for a long period of time unattended).
He should bring with him some low denomination bills, I usually bring dollar bills. In case he can't exchange money quickly after the airport, he will have some low denomination bills to give a motoconcho driver in case he gets lost. One or two dollars for a motoconcho driver to lead the way in case you get lost, you can follow behind the motorcycle in your car.
If he drives to Sosua, its an easy drive, he will just have to look for the Texaco gas staion on the left hand side of the road when coming from the airport and make the left near that texaco gas station, go straight after making the left and at the second intersection make a left and the Codetel office is on the left. From there he could drive straight, Baileys restaurant would be a block away on the right and he could use the ATM machine at the Banco Popular next to Baileys. He could exchange money with the guys in the streets in Sosua. I have seen money exchange guys near the corner near the codetel office and the bon ice cream shop.
One way streets are not always one way. Lots of drivers drive the wrong way on one way streets.
If he takes it easy, he should have no problem driving in Dominican Republic. I have gotten lost many times. Puerto Plata is not that big, even if he gets lost he will find the right way quick enough.

Ponderosa. Thanks for the info much appreciated. I have done a lot of research on the driving and decided that to better enjoy trip I am going to drive. I am down for a week and staying at BB (1 night), NG (4 nights), and FOD (2 nights). I also want to take day trips and do a lot of golfing.
The other info I was looking for is what to do in POP other than Crystals and Bohem. Normal clubs (not strippers), other good spots for chicas, ect. If anyone can give me a few ideas / names I will use the search function and do some more research. Thanks again.
Great post! Just answered all the important stuff.
Will a taxi driver from BB stop at Claro on the way? I am guessing the advantage of the phone is that it will be cheaper for "local" calls, how about to the USA? Will a chica give out a number so you can reach them.

I don't know how many times this has been posted, but there is a bank (BanReservas) on the outside concourse at POP airport. It gives a good rate of exchange. It also has an ATM on the outside wall. When the bank is closed there will be guys there offering to change dollars and euros. They usually offer a competitive rate. Just avoid the money change bureau inside the airport where you will get 10%-20% less for your money, which really is a rip off.

Agree, DO NOT change money with Global Cambio in the reception area, total crooks! The guys next to the car rental will give you 36.

Found that my bank charges additional conversion fee plus the exchange rate each time I used it. Got to Sosua and found that the guys on the street corners give 35 to 1 all day long. Found one guy who was giving 35.5 to 1. Can't beat it and no charges, so take cash and change it on the street. I found no problem with the money. Thought I would throw this in even though your speaking of POP.

Be sure to take the full insurance. If not and you have an accident you will have an incident. Night in jail and several $$$. If you have an accident give the other guy $100 and get lost. LE in DR will take advantage of gringos

You don't happen to have a beard with long hair and walk around in sandals in DR? I might have seen you in the Cathedral in Santo Domingo. Put in a good word for me with the man upstairs, Lord knows I have committed many pecados (sins).

If anyone can give me a few ideas / names I will use the search function and do some more research. Thanks again.Lighthouse bar above the casino at Ocean World is supposedly the nicest bar in Puerto Plata, should be relatively close to BB. On the Malecon (Seaside street) in Puerto Plata there are several small beach bars where you can sit and have a drink. Across from FOD there is Playa Dorada complex which has a golf course and about 8 all inclusive hotels. Also has several bars, Hemingways, Roadhouse, Coco Boingo, in the past there was Mangu and Crazy Horse or Crazy Moon.
One time I stopped my car for two chicas who were standing on the side of road while I was driving at night near Playa Dorada complex. They were pleasant, I had a beer with them at a small beach bar on the Malecon and thereafter I drove them to Roadhouse Bar. The security guards at the gates of Playa Dorada Complex do not let in all Dominicans.
Supposedly nicest golf course on the North Coast is Playa Grande:
"Playa Grande Golf Course
Km. 9 Carretera Río San Juan-Cabrera, María Trinidad Sánchez province, about an hour's drive from Sosua, in Puerto Plata.
Tel: 809 582-0860, ext, 21. Fax (809) 247-6104
Course Description/Membership: The "Pebble Beach" of the Caribbean, with 10 holes interacting with the Atlantic Ocean. Pros and occasional golfers alike praise this course for its breath-taking Atlantic views."
I believe TheDRman has posted information before about other bars in Puerto Plata.

Nakom, if you drive down the Malecon (the beach road) in Puerto Plata there is a huge store called La Sirena. Just west of that (understanding that the ocean is north) is a street called 16 de Augusto. Take a left up that street (or right, depending which direction you're coming from) and two blocks up the street there are two bars. One is called Chalo's and the other is called Charley's, and they sit on opposite corners. Lots of nice looking chicas.
FOD has just added a new play room that has a sex swing and chair. WOW.
The price was 1000 pesos for 4 hours. There were 17 girls at the pool today.
Thank you to everyone for all the help and advice. I posted this info on the Sosua board but it is helpfull to anyone.
I have a Mastercard and called to check on the insurance for rental cars. MC does provide insurance but only in North America. MC insurance is no good in the DR. I called my insurance agency and they said my car insurance covers rentals, but only in NA. Again no good in the DR.
What they did do for me was add a international rider on my house insurance. For the month of April for $14 it includes medical insurance (which I allready have) but also includes a combined $1, 000, 000 liability plus 3rd party insurance on out of country car rentals. $14 / month sure beats $35 / day, and you get the piece of mind of using your own insurance company and a million in coverage. I've never been to the DR but thought I could add some value to the thread.
Thanks again to everyone. More questions to come I'm sure.

Couple of questions:
I have searched this thread but could not find any information on Hertz or Budget rentals at POP. Does anybody have any experience with either of these companies? I usually use Hertz when I travel.
I have put together a budget for a seven date trip but the food/beer item is kind of and unknown. I do not drink much 4-5 beers a day and maybe couple rum and cokes and maybe eat three small meals per day. The unknown is how much might be spent on the chicas. I am currently thinking $50 per day. Do you think this might be too little?
Thanks
Hey Ponderosa,
You don't happen to have a beard with long hair and walk around in sandals in DR? I might have seen you in the Cathedral in Santo Domingo. Put in a good word for me with the man upstairs, Lord knows I have committed many pecados (sins).
Thanks a lot Jaosousa, now my pic is plastered all over the internet!!!
LOL..

I have had cause to use VISA, and they came through for me after an accident in the DR.

ThanksBudget I believe is a partner with Avis. When I had a problem with an Avis car rental in Puerto Plata they sent a guy who was wearing a Budget uniform. Alamo and National are partners in the Dom Rep.
I would guess that most of the car rental companies are independently owned franchises from the bigger companies. Usually when they give me a receipt after they take my credit card, the name of the company on the credit card receipt is not Alamo, it is some name with S.A. at the end. If there are problems you can deal with people who work at the bigger company back in the states.
The two times I rented with Avis, I made the the reservations online and received a confirmation with the total price. Two times after returning from Dom Rep, I looked at my credit card statement and twice the people in Avis in Puerto Plata overcharged me about 100 dollars on the rental. I had to deal with a woman here in the States who worked for Avis and eventually they refunded my credit card. After the second time being overcharged, I said to myself never again with Avis (and if Budget is part of Avis, I won't use Budget either).
Hertz the times I have checked in Dom Rep, have mostly FIAT (Fix it again Tony) cars.
From what I recall Hertz and Budget don't offer the tire/glass protection coverage when you make the reservations online. A car rental company in Dom Rep can try to charge you from $83 to $250 dollars to replace a tire that cannot be repaired.
Payless might be cheap. Another member recommended Adventure rent a car.
For me with Alamo, my mastercard provides collision/damage loss protection (I will call my credit card company to confirm that they provide coverage after reading Nakom's post), I pay an extra $5 dollars per day for third party liability and $3.75 per day for glass/tire protection, I use a coupon code to save about $50. Alamo online gives me the total price at the time I make the online reservation. After renting cars with them over 15 times in Dom Rep, they have not overcharged me or given me any problems. Alamo is open 24 hours at the Santo Domingo Airport which is good for me, because I have been arriving there at around 5am. The guys there know me and usually give me a free upgrade on the car, I will tip them or give them a small gift.
Last time I was in Sosua a small bottle of beer in Classicos was about 100 pesos ($2.77), Cuba libres go for about 150 pesos, other members can give you more up to date prices of drinks in Sosua. $50 per day for chicas should be fine. Some Sosua chicas will take 1000 pesos (27 US dollars). Some chicas want 2000 pesos ($55) or 2500 ($69). Negotiate.
You can also buy snacks, beer, soda and other food items in the Supermarkets in Sosua to save some money. There is one smaller supermarket about one block west of Classicos. There is a larger supermarket on the main road that you take from the airport to get into Sosua, it is about three blocks from Classicos. I usually bring a couple of bags of chocolate from here. Some guys bring mixed nuts, peanuts etc in cans to snack on in their rooms.
There is a liquor store in Sosua where you can buy rum vodka, wine etc. The supermarkets also sell rum and wine (red and white wine, some Chilean wines, Frontera and Casillero del diablo) Vino tinto is the darker wine. Rum is ron.

I have used Budget there with no problems. No experience there with Hertz, but I don't know why they wouldn't be OK. The others I have used are Alamo/National and Avis. I recommend using only the major companies as if you have a problem you have a chance to deal with things stateside or in your home country afterwords (or one might think). I also recommend purchasing at least extra liability and I too have used my credit card (visa platinum) for comp/collision. I had something printed out from my visa carrier that showed it covered in other countries. I did have to sign a paper saying I knew that I was responsible for the car and they held $1000 on my visa at the time of rental because I did this. It was all taken off when I brought the car back. Give the guy who checks the car for scratches and dents a couple bucks when he does this and you will be amazed at what a good job he does when marking the forms. Rental cars in the DR can look like crap with multiple dings and dangs. By the way, I bring down a boatload of 1 dollar bills to give out for stuff like this and for tips, the locals love them.
I usually budget between $200 to $250 per day to include everything (hotel, food, drinks, chicas, etc.) but the rental car and it has worked for me. I will normally come home with cash. Cervesas run between 60 to 100 pesos per for the small one (regular size), cuba libre's are a bit more, but not terrible. Go to a strip club/Brothel like Cristals and throw these prices out the window.
I usually use Vacation Outlet to book my rental cars (google it) and I get good rates.
My 2 cents,
P
Across from FOD there is Playa Dorada complex which has a golf course and about 8 all inclusive hotels. Also has several bars, Hemingways, Roadhouse, Coco Boingo, in the past there was Mangu and Crazy Horse or Crazy Moon.
One time I stopped my car for two chicas who were standing on the side of road while I was driving at night near Playa Dorada complex. They were pleasant, I had a beer with them at a small beach bar on the Malecon and thereafter I drove them to Roadhouse Bar. The security guards at the gates of Playa Dorada Complex do not let in all Dominicans.
More information about security at the bars/clubs in Playa Dorado. Recently, the guards won't let in Dominican females who come in groups. I witness that myself once at Coco Boingo. I inquired why, and I was told it is because they have been getting complaints from the foreign female guests at the complex about the local females taking the attention away from their men. And the bars have to ensure they service those who stay at the complex first and foremost. Talk about jealously. Crazy!
You may at times have Dominican chicas in your car. I really don't enjoy listening to dominican radio. So I always burn some CD's to listen to in the car.
You can download realplayer basic for free and install it on your computer. Realplayer comes with a plugin that allows you to easily download videos from youtube. After you have downloaded a video, Relaplayer has a tool where you can convert the downloaded video into whatever other format you want (mp3, wmv, quicktime etc).
If you convert the video to mp3 you can then add that mp3 to a compact disc to play in the car in the Dominican Republic.
Good to have some spanish music for the chicas, while they are in the car with you and you can also use the same music while they are in the room with you.
Some suggestions for Spanish music (you can do a search in youtube and find all these artists): just about all Juan Luis Guerra songs chicas like. Omega the songs chambonea, que tengo hacer, no me amas. Classic salsa, Joe Arroyo, Rebelion. Fruko, El Preso. Oscar Deleon, Lloraras. Chicas also like the group Aventura, romantic songs. Frank Reyes (Bachata style music), Quien eres Tu, Falso amor, Nada de Nada. Chicas will also enjoy the Gypsy Kings. Chicas also like Luis Miguel del Amargue (Amargue means kind of sour), most bachata songs are about love and betrayal.
Can be fun to dance merengue or bachata with a chica, just wing it, two steps forward, two steps back a step to both sides. Some chicas will ride your body while dancing merengue.
Reggaeton is fun to dance in the Dom Rep and you will see some chicas grinding their asses on a guys crouch in Dom Rep. Don Omar and Daddy Yankee are popular.
Some Santiago chicas like Hotel California by the Eagles.
When I am alone in the car doing a long ride in the car in Dom Rep I have listened to Tribute to Trance by Dj Tatiana a bunch of times. Trance music is kind of repetitive, sort of like driving, it helps keep me awake and in a sort of mindless groove.
Thank you to everyone for all the help and advice. I posted this info on the Sosua board but it is helpfull to anyone.

I usually use Hertz when I travel...Alamo/National and Thrifty should be fine, but DO NOT use Hertz. I have read and heard too many negative things about Hertz in the Dominican Republic. Yes, I use Hertz in the US, but NEVER in the DR.
Also, I have used Avis and Sixt in the DR, but over the years I have read mixed reviews about both agencies.

I have always used Budget and paid with my VISA card. Visa does cover you out of the US as I checked before I rented in both Costa Rica and the DR. I book throught my American Airlines Advantage account and earns miles and a good rate.

And the bars have to ensure they service those who stay at the complex first and foremost. Talk about jealously. Crazy!The guards at the entrance of Playa Dorada would not allow me to enter with the two Dominican chicas. The two chicas were desperate to get into Playa Dorada, one chica said she could hide in the trunk, to which I said no. Eventually one chica laid on the floor near the back seat when I drove up to the guards at the service entrance. The other chica was in the front passenger seat and the guards waived me through.
On the weekends many Dominicans will stay at hotels in Playa Dorada. I guess late at night if the guards see dominican chicas who are not wearing the wristband from an all inclusive hotel, the guards won't let in more than one dominicana chica who is accompanied by a foreigner.

I wish to thank everyone who provided me feedback on car rental choices and insurance suggestions. I booked my flight for May 1st and rented from Budget with VISA. Expedia offered insurance for $10/day so I added that just to be safe.
It looks like my budget is just about right for a week of fun and sun. Maybe this time I will get up enough motivation to play some golf while in the DR.

One more.
Decline the insurance company insurance in favor of your VISA rental car insurance.
Take the liability offered by the rental company.
Its better to have it if you hit some idiot on a motoconcho cutting in front of you to make a left turn from the right lane.
You'll be glad you did.
If your first time driving, make all turns, lane changes, etc, slow and gradual enough so idiots on motoconchos violating some traffic law have enough opportunity to adjust.
Remember, any accidents will be YOUR fault, 'cause YOU have money.

Remember, any accidents will be YOUR fault, 'cause YOU have money.Driving at night oftentimes the visibility sucks with the car's headlights low beams, unfortunately on some roads you will have to use the high beams, even if means the drivers coming in the opposite don't like it. Better to be able see what is in front of your car than not inconveniencing the other drivers. Many drivers in DR will always have their high beams on, so you will not be the only one. Certain roads at night you can get by with the low beams, other roads you have to have the high beams on.
The highway near Boca Chica (near Santo Domingo) with the cement barrier in the middle and lots of locals around, is the road I usually always have to have the high beams on at night, if I don't, there is black void on the drivers side in front of the car and I really don't want to hit a pedestrian or a guy on a motoconcho.
If you want to brush up on your Spanish,watch Sabado gigante.You also get eye candy which helps you concentrate more on whats going on.Don Francisco (Mario Luis Kreutzberger Blumenfeld is his real name, he is a Jewish guy from Chile) is the guy who runs that show. He has some fine chicas surrounding him on that show and sometimes he has bikini contests, lots of skin.

For those looking for economical accomodations in Puerto Plata with a very guest-friendly, chica-friendly environment, am posting the following info.
Harborview Condos is run by Bill Lane, who used to manage Field of Dreams.
The place is in POP, but off the main road and therefore, very quiet.
Accomodations are simple, but has a pool; small bar/eating area, and is chica friendly. Billy is an icon of the DR mongering scene and has a million stories and information on everything on North Coast/DR mongering.
A good choice if looking for a good place to get away (or hide from the novia). A few guys looking to have a place all to themselves might consider this.
No on-site chicas, but Bill has a list of names and can fix you up if needed.
(or BYOC).
For anyone staying with a group at Playa Dorada and wishing a "hideaway", this is a good candidate.
Billy can arrange pickup.
1 bedroom daily rate of $35us, weekly rate @ 199us and biweekly @ 399us.
2 bedroom daily rate of $50us, weekly rate @ 299us and biweekly @ 599us

Hello All
I have a general question. In your opinions is one better then the other?
Field of Dreams VS Blackbeards ??

Thank you very much as Im making planning decisions.

No offense, but this has been covered in this thread ad nauseum.

If this is your first trip, BB will be easier, more enjoyable.

I would do BB's for no more than two nights, then move on to Sosua, and explore!

The best way is to use low beams and slow down. You should never over drive your headlights.
Hello All

Field of Dreams VS Blackbeards ??
Why?
Thank you very much as Im making planning decisions.
First are you a explorer and risk taker or wanted things already explored?
If you are a explorer go to Sosua. Otherwise go to BB.
That inconveniced driver may have worse eyes then you, be blinded by your high beams and run into you. The best way is to use low beams and slow down. You should never over drive your headlights.I am usually driving a small car in the Dom Rep, many guys (probably 90%) driving big SUV's, buses and trucks always have their high beams on in Dom Rep. I try to be polite when I drive, but there are times in the Dom Rep on certain roads where you have to have the high beams on.
The highway near Boca Chica (near Santo Domingo) has a three foot high cement barrier separating the highway. No overhead lights on that road, no reflectors on the cement barrier, no reflective paint on the road to show the lanes, people and motoconchos cross that road. Even driving 40 miles per hour, I have to use the high beams on that road at times to see what is in front of the car on the drivers side. I try only to use the low beams whenever possible.
I hate when people don't turn off their high beams and I have been blinded many times by cars and buses (behind me and coming in the opposite direction). Some buses have 6 headlights in Dom Rep, which is no fun when they are behind you on a narrow two lane road.
I have been blinded by cars coming in the opposite direction, on the road that connects Puerto Plata and Santiago (I had my low beams on at the time).
The main road in Puerto Plata has overhead lights. The road from Puerto Plata to sousa has no lights. You have to be aware of the occasional horse that will wander onto that road, as well as motorcycles with no lights.
I have never seen wildlife cross the road in Dom Rep. Where I live in New York, I always have to watch out for deer and other wildlife crossing in front of me.
Hitting a pedestrian or motorcycle (that has no lights), is a far greater fear for me, than a car hitting me head on.
For 1 000 pesos(less than 30 dollars), you can spend one night at Mountainview hotel in Puerto Plata city.
The hotel shows a grand entrance with stairs and green foliage with balcony .
you can bring a chica anytime and some of the mototaxis drivers will even go and get you a chica to check .
About 2 minutes from the Caribe Tours bus station and a taxi driver should not charge you more than 120 pesos (3 bucks).

Just got back from PP last night. For the first time I could not get a girl into the bars/disco at Playa Dorado. Just myself and a girl. Well I should say get her in for anywhere near a reasonable price.
Drddd,
A friend of mine will post a review of FOD from last week when he gets back in a day or two......but it will not be good!
Some guys on the forum have reported that they like to bring cash or frequent the atm's in the DR. However if I am going to be staying at BB's so is it best to bring along cash? What has been the most convenient method of financing the costs at BB's?

What has been the most convenient method of financing the costs at BB's?You can charge your room, food and bar tab to a card. But there is a 20% surcharge to use your card. The nearest atm at BB is out on the main road at the texaco station. BB charges for your room when you arrive. So there goes some dollars right there. You can change money at Jenny store on the way in and if you like to walk during the day, it is not really far. I bring cash.

I've always just brought cash when staying at BB's previously. Unless something has changed recently, there aren't any atms in Costambar. Although there obviously are in POP and at the Texaco on the hwy there. But neither of those are particularly convenient, and would require a taxi ride or you having a rental. Once there however, it wouldn't be a stretch to state you'll meet some wingmen, and someone will have a car, or will want to go into POP or Sosua and split a cab with you.
It's been a bit since I've stayed there, as I'm mostly in Sosua these days though.

Dont pay BB's with a credit card or pay your final bar/restaurant bill in dollars. With a card you pay 20% more and if you pay the final bill in dollars you use their low exchange rate since everything is bought in peso's.
There is an ATM across from the university where they college kids hang out, it is closer then the Texaco. It is right there at the end of the crappy road before you turn on the main drag. No guard and the cab drivers will charge you gringo prices to get there.
The more I go to the Dom the more I get frustrated at the prices we have to pay for cabs.

What has been the most convenient method of financing the costs at BB's?If you've decided to go the cash route at BBs, consider travelers cheques since BBs still accepts them and so does the local Jenny's grocery mart a few blocks away when exchanging to pesos. In the DR, I feel a hell of a lot better having travelers cheques on me then a whole shitload of actual US cash.

So if flying in to POP where do I go to change money. Must I stop at one of the corner money exchange places that were discussed in the forum on the way to BB's? Where is the best place to exchange money?

Jenny's supermarket is the best place to exchange money while staying at Blackbeard's. You have to drive right by it on the way to Blackbeard's. It is about a ten minute walk from Blackbeard's. Outstanding exchange rates, and the the money exchanger is a very honest guy. I gave him an extra (US) hundred while exchanging one day by accident, he came running out of the store as I was walking down the street and made it right. That scored a lot of points with me.

If you want to exchange lots of USD Jenny's sometimes doesn't have enough pesos on hand. They are just a store and not a bank after all. When I was at BB's last Jan I saw a cambio near BB's that had a sign out front offering the highest rate being paid on the street at the time but I didn't actually try them out as I had enough coin at the time (36.05 pesos=1 USD). Directions: Walk out of BB's and go left down the road towards the beach. After 150 yards turn left at the next intersection walking away from the beach and walk 3 minutes up the road to the top of the rise. Walk to the next intersection and its on the right in a stand alone building that looks more like a residence. There was a sign saying they exchange money and the rate was excellent. About a 5 minute walk if that.
If you are using any of BB's recommended taxi drivers those guys can be trusted to take you to a good place to exchange money on the way into BB's or on any trips out. Don't exchange at the airport (POP). BB's will exchange but their rate will be 1-2 points below the best street rate but that can work if its raining and you don't want to go walking, just don't exchange too much there.
I strongly urge you to NEVER put any charges onto your room bill. Pay cash as you go for ALL your drinks and food. Its not that BB's staff will try to rip you off, they won't. But Dominicans aren't exactly the best or smartest people when it comes to record keeping and they often will make mostly honest mistakes. IE: They tried to charge me a $16.00 laundry bill when I checked out. It was a mistake and they promptly dropped it off my bill. Avoid the sticker shock on the way out by paying as you go there.
Some guys on the forum have reported that they like to bring cash or frequent the atm's in the DR. However if I am going to be staying at BB's so is it best to bring along cash? What has been the most convenient method of financing the costs at BB's?
Each has his own way of doing things.
I bring cash BUT.. when I arrive at the airport, I travel directly to Costambar.
I carry my cash on my person, but not in my wallet.
I am not spending time on the street or taking side trips.
I do not flash whatever cash I have at any time.
I take out just as much as I want to cash at Jenny's.
(On that subject, I have changed as much as 1000 dollars at a time).
When I do so, I get hold of the manager, not the cashier, and we discreetly change the money in the back office.
I then go directly to BB, pay my room bill in pesos on arrival, and the rest of the cash, excluding short-term expenses, goes into the room safe.
Paying in pesos at BB versus cash, will save you 5-6%, as the hotel exchange rate is a little less than Jenny's.
If you prefer, take travelers' checks, but I would still change the dollars outside the hotel.
A novia pointed out a money exchange there near the store that is just as good, but when I change money I usually stop there to buy some bottled water, etc. as well.
Jenny's supermarket is the best place to exchange money while staying at Blackbeard's. You have to drive right by it on the way to Blackbeard's. It is about a ten minute walk from Blackbeard's. Outstanding exchange rates, and the the money exchanger is a very honest guy. I gave him an extra (US) hundred while exchanging one day by accident, he came running out of the store as I was walking down the street and made it right. That scored a lot of points with me.
I respectfully disagree, the best place is described by Geolopes below. I believe it is the Association (not sure on that) but it is closer and easier to use then Jennys ( you dont have to go into a busy supermarket looking all over the place for the guy or knocking on the back door). Just walk in go to the window and in 3 minutes your out. Rate is on window and it was 36.2. They give you a receipt with the breakdown and count the money very slowly in front of you, very official and professional.

Thank you Yanqui and thanks to Doker44 as well for confirming that the cambio near BB's that I mentioned a few posts back is valid. Yanqui has a good point about paying for your room upon arrival in pesos. Its a slightly better value. I did the math with a pocket calculator on my last visit and found that if I paid the chicas in pesos rather than USD I saved $2.00 on ST sessions. I tipped that advantage away to the girls anyway but its nice to know you're getting a better deal whan paying for food and booze in pesos than USD. Too bad i didn't do that for my room. I'll be sure to hit Jenny's on the way in on my next visit to pay for the room in pesos upon arrival and hit the cambio when needed after that as needed.
I just finished reading the latest BB Newsletter for March, anyone have any info, names etc about some of the chicas pictured in the latest issue.
Thanks
I was at FOD from 7-9 March. I was originally scheduled to be there for three nights, then to BB's for seven nights, but I had to leave FOD after two nights and go to BB's. I just couldn't stand FOD anymore. Upon arrival to FOD, I found it's layout to be great and the rooms very comfortable and accomodating. The price, $60 USD per night including breakfast was very reasonable and the breakfast provided was great! The bar service was good also.
BUT. At 8:00 pm on a Monday night, the place was dead, no chicas, just me alone at the bar having a beer. So I jumped into a cab and went over to BB's for an hour. The friends I was to meet there in a few days were at the bar having a beer and the girl I made plans with was playing pool. It was like I had come home. So after an hour, I took my girl to FOD to spent the night. Upon arrival to FOD, the first thing she said to me in her wonderful Dominican accent "why you stay here? " it was about 10: 30 at night and we just left swinging BB's to arrive to the quiet of FOD.
So Monday night lead into Tuesday afternoon. There were about 6 chicas hanging at the bar all day. I took Josi, an old friend from BB's for a short time. Then I took a nap. Woke up around seven and went to eat and watch the New York news and the NBC nightly news. There were about six chicas hanging around, some flocked over to me while I was eating, looking for something to do for the night, but I politely brushed them off. From there I went to check my e-mail on the one computer they had for guest, which was almost as slow as dial up. This computer is located in a room with a huge window facing the parking and the Playa Dorada resort entrance.
While checking my e-mail, I looked up and saw some gangsta wannabe's walking across the parking lot. I counted 13 of them.
When I finshed on the computer and walked by towards my room, I could see them fooling around with the girls. Including grouping and humping them from behind. Probably all in good fun but now the boys outnumbered the girls.
I have been mongering to the DR since 2003 and at all the places I have been the boys never outnumbered the girls. While I was in my room, they moved to the pavillion that was in the center of the FOD compund. I could hear them negotiating with the chica's, still grouping and humping them.
That was all I needed!
I then immediately got on the phone and called BB's to see if they could take me a night earlier. They said they could, I then called my cab driver friend, he told me he could be there in 15 minutes. Then I went to the desk and told them I was leaving and to get my bill ready. Back to the room to pack, the fastest I have ever packed and then paid my bill and gone. While I was walking out, the guys were still fooling around with all the chicas.
Once I arrived to BB's, it was like everything is the way it should B. I was comfortable with my friends and the girl I plans with, in a place that everyone around me was having fun!
So. That was my experience wth FOD. It wasn't good.
While FOD's compound layout and prices have the potential to be serious competion for BB's.
But until they get some sort of control of the girls and enforce rules about non-guest coming in and taking who they want, I personally could not advise any one to go to FOD, not until these improvments were in place.
Also guys, remember, this is just my experience, it doesn't mean the same thing would happen to you.

ThanksThere is a good chance that by the time you decide to go there, only one or two from the BB newsletter you'd still recognize so I wouldn't concern myself too much over those pics. I was there last autumn so I only recognized one in the pics. There are fresh faces there constantly.

Last week, Victorn mentioned a chica friendly hotel(Mountain view) that is in POP 2 mins away from the Caribe tours bus stop. I was wondering has anyone stayed here before, or know exactly in what direction from the Caribe tour bus stop this hotel is located? I tried to inbox Victorn but he is only a regular member and cannot receive any messages. Any and all help is appreciated.

To get there from the Caribe Tours Bus Terminal, just pass the bus ticket office to get out and turn left. The first street you meet, turn right on that street and keep going straight in that direction. If you are walking it (it is possible) you will go up a small slope and if you keep your eyes open you will see a street sign advertising the place. About four or five street corners going up.
Best option: get on a MOTOtaxi and ask him to drop you at the hotel for about 30 pesos dominicanos from the Caribe bus terminal.
Apologies if this has already been reported but I find no search hits on this place.
Has anyone been to this place ...dr dot com?
It seems to have a good mix of east, south and dr girls. Possibly a decent half way between BB and the high end AIs.

But "3 days, 2 nights, 7 girls, $3095" sure sounds high-end to me, even for a "rodizio das meninas".

It's higher price than places like BB for sure, but less than Viking (was), exoticretreat.net or charlisangels. So it seemed a middle ground.
All these resorts are meant to do a lot more than get you laid- it's doing it in a resort setting that is more. If you just want a good romp in the hay, then by all means BB and FOD is the way to go. All are wonderful, albeit different, options.

For that kind of money they can take a spanish class and venture out and get the same exact thing. They are paying for quick convieniece and fantasy. Is the pussy any better there than BB?

Just finished looking at the Blackbeard's newsletter. Here's an excerpt. What a crock! (That's pirate talk for bullsh*t) It looks like the owner of Blackbeard's has cut a deal with the monopoly taxi drivers. Anybody who has visited here more than a couple of weeks knows that all the taxi drivers have converted their cabs to burn propane. Propane costs 75 pesos a gallon (about $2.07).
True, the problem is not limited to the DR -- it's limited to Costambar, Playa Dorada, and the POP airport.
Taxi Woes
The Coconut Telegraph (Pirate Talk for Internet), is full of stories about visitors to the DR getting ripped off by taxi drivers. This problem is not limited to just the DR. Travel any where in the Caribbean and taxi drivers are gonna try and take you for what you are willing to pay . . . nature of the Beast, period.
The Problem . . .
Consider the following - 1). Don't expect cheap transportation - unless you want to take a bus. 2). Gasoline costs over FIVE DOLLARS A GALLON. 3). Most visitors don't speak Spanish, so they would rather pay than try and negotiate.

But you won't share your adventures at BB concerning girls, food, pricing etc. Anyway I used to pay 15usd for a taxi from sosua.cabarette til I found out if I walk up to the highway it costs 50pesos. Besides 35usd to pick you and your luggage up at the airport then transport to BB seems reasonable. Sorry I don't feel your pain.

The fare from POP airport to BB/Costambar is/was $45.
The distance will not burn half a gallon of gasoline.
So for several years now I've been renting a car.

I like, Yanqui69, Ponderosa and others rent a car. I realize that many will not feel comfortable renting a car as the traffic / roads / other drivers etc. in POP can make things a little risky. When I first started to got to the DR I took a taxi everywhere. The cost was much greater than renting a car if I wanted to go anywhere. The freedom of my own car has enhanced my visits. Rental information has been covereded in great detail in other reports but here are some little reminders:
1. Take the insurance
2. Get a map / do some homework so you know where you are going
3. Use a major rental agency Budget etc.
4. Inspect the car and check the spare tire
5. I take a taxi at night if I will be drinking while I am out
6. Wear your seat belt
Taxi / Money exchange thoughts:
I have used the taxi service that BB's arranges for you. On my first trip to BB's I spoke no spanish, went alone and was more than a little nervous arriving in a strange country. When I walked out of the terminal and saw a guy with my name on a sign most of my stress went away! The cost may be a little higher than one would like but that is the cost of doing business....I always factor it in to my budget. The taxi driver has even had to wait an hour before as my flight was delayed. BB's may get a small cut of the action from the taxi company but they are helping you and there is always a cost for that.
The same is true with exchanging money. The exchange rate at BB's is not as good as you could get down the road....but it is down the road.

Five days for under 200US with insurance.I also rent cars now. But a couple years ago Kutha (isg) and I caught a cab in front of europa to go to BB. The guy was told to pick us up to return to sosua 4 hours later.He charged us 2000pesos (1mil each) for the trip. Maybe because we did a round trip we got a better rate. But the point is if you dont rent a car your going to have to deal with cabs, but negoitiate.

considering that the hotel nickels and dimes you on every single item. the room, food, girls (yes according to two of the girls they have to pay the house a substantial cut), cigars, bathing suits, tours, viagra, lingerie, and now taxi rides, it's not a place i would recommend. i'd say pirate theme is very appropriate, the management [CodeWord124] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord124) and pillages you every chance they get. ok, they have free mediocre coffee. anyway, there is much better chica action available in puerto plata and sosua.
when you stay at blackbeard's you are stuck in costambar and at the mercy of the monopoly taxi guys. unfortunately it's too far to walk out to the highway like you can do in cabarete or anyplace else. they made me pay $20 for a trip from blackbeard's to a location in puerto plata, but the trip back (from a non-monopoly taxi service) only cots 150 pesos (or about $4. i'm sure blackbeards got a piece of that $20. yeah, i know it's only $16, but on principle i don't like getting screwed if it's for 16 cents.

Bb is for newbies and the non adventurous now. The old days of wildness are gone. Guess am a little guilty on that one. We used to have an open bar in our rooms, throw wild loud parties in the jacuzzi late night and in general act like out of hand drunk mongers.

when you stay at blackbeard's you are stuck in costambar and at the mercy of the monopoly taxi guys. unfortunately it's too far to walk out to the highway like you can do in cabarete or anyplace else. they made me pay $20 for a trip from blackbeard's to a location in puerto plata, but the trip back (from a non-monopoly taxi service) only cots 150 pesos (or about $4. i'm sure blackbeards got a piece of that $20. yeah, i know it's only $16, but on principle i don't like getting screwed if it's for 16 cents.i guess it depends on opinion. i have not seen many 5's and 6's (always something that strikes your interest)at bb now actually some guy got a little tired and wanted to get out of bb for a bit, he went to clasicos and came back with a chica in the afternoon. very nice smile but not as hot as the girls sitting around the pool. of course the girls will tell you anything so they get more money of out of you and talk bad about bb staff rules etc. i have not heard anything bad from the girls.
like one of the other guys said it is a business, and they are working trying to make $$$ so if they move from 1 to the next can you blame them?
have to run for now.
Bs Detective,
Thanks for the info

i was down at bbs in march also and i had a totally different experience. i have been to bbs, sosua and fod for punting purposes. i have gone off the beaten path to smaller cities and villages and been in and with local chicas at their “homes” in the barrio. i have had exposure to the dr from santiago to the north coast. i have had the pleasure to visit this island “paradise” well into the double digit occasions. i guess i am a glutton for punishment. i am not saying this to brag as there are a lot of guys on the board who are far more travelled than me. i say this to provide some background to my following comments. rest assured, those that know me understand i am a proponent of bbs, but have pointed out shortcomings of this establishment also.
bbs ain’t for everybody. neither is sosua, fod, boca chica or sdq. my personal comfort zone is splitting time with bbs and my novia. i go to bbs because, as a fellow punter of mine put it on my last trip, “it’s easy”. for me, i want chicas available at my whim and i personally don’t care to spend my time on the “hunt”. others like “the hunt”. that’s just me. some guys are more sosua guys, some fod. some guys like looking in the off the beaten track areas. some guys like throwing money around and others hold onto it like their life depends on it. to each their own. the dr provides many opportunities. i just have a problem with a new poster spending their only two posts dissing a place first, because the taxi rates are too high, then cause the girls look bored and are hard core. and then to go back to how bbs nickels and dimes you to death.
hard core chicas at bbs??? sure, but you will find hard core chicas anywhere you go on the island. have you ever gone to crystals? sosua? passions? it is not just a bbs phenomenon. i don’t know about you, but i have seen more hardcore chicas elsewhere. a lot depends on the individual approaching the girls. do you speak any spanish? do you have a drink with the girl first before heading to the room? do you get up to your room and start taking your clothes off as soon as the door closes? do you try and connect with the girl at all? if all you do is “wham-bam, thank you ‘mam”, that is what you will get. i may be speaking out of turn here, but i have often found with these latin chicas that you get back from the girls what you put into them. speak some spanish, flirt with the girls, find a connection and it pays dividends. i have been fortunate enough to get gfe from even many of the more “hardcore” girls here
5’s and 6’s at bbs? to me this is all luck of the draw and totally subjective to the individual. i can count on one hand the times i couldn’t find a chica that really gets my juices flowing and i have been going there for going on four years now. last time down in march i was amazed at the number of new chicas and the quality of the new crop of girls there.
as far as ”the management [CodeWord124] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord124) and pillages you every chance they get”, i guess it is up to you and your definition of “[CodeWord124] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord124) and pillages”. 80 pesos for a president vs. 60 at a local bar, paying more for the convenience of buying viagra or cialis on site, exchanging currency here vs. jenny’s or dealing with the “costambar taxi mafia”, i guess i don’t sweat the small stuff. if they get a kickback on the taxis, i don’t think it is all that much. the taxis have a “mafia” at the airports and some other locations. if this bugs you too much, walk three more minutes from jenny’s market to the front gates of costambar get a taxi or motoconcho there, or better yet, rent a car like i do. i go down there not to spend money like a drunken sailor, but a few extra bucks here and there is not that big of a deal to me.
news flash: bbs is there to make money. so is crystals, fod, new garden, classico’s, la passions,… (i think you get the idea). if you don’t want to get nickel and dimed to death, maybe go to oxygen retreat, dr nights or total satisfaction. with these establishments you only grossly overpay once and then maybe then you can be happy. i for one am glad these places make money, because they will be there next time i want to go there. like i said, for me it is “easy”. i can easily stay for a week at bbs for the cost of two to three nights at these other “high end” places. for the newbie and those who don’t care for the sosua scene, i can’t think of a more cost effective destination than bbs.
i apologize if i am coming down hard on this. i guess 2 posts with no substance to the board gets under my skin. i have been sitting on the sideline for a bit reading the boards and this just riled me up.
my 2 cents,
p
good post. i have never been to blackbeards, the photos from bb posted here recently, the chicas look good. as a foreigner anywhere in the dom rep, you are seen as a walking atm machine. wages are low in dom rep, can't blame some dominicans for trying to milk the cash cow (foreigners).
there are some great chicas in dom rep and there are some terrible chicas. the game is to find a good chica (or several good chicas) who will not try to suck you dry of all of your cash (suck you dry in other ways is good).

I went to Blackbeard's in March. The girls are mostly 5s and 6s. The few better looking girls they have are pretty "hard core". Go upstairs, get it done, get paid, on to the next one. I don't mind 5s and 6s if they have a good attitude.
Maybe it's me, but I found a 9 IMHO my first night while visiting BBs. Now, I stayed in the neighborhood, but not on the premises.
When you stay at Blackbeard's you are stuck in Costambar and at the mercy of the monopoly taxi guys. Unfortunately it's too far to walk out to the highway like you can do in Cabarete or anyplace else. They made me pay $20 for a trip from Blackbeard's to a location in Puerto Plata, but the trip back (from a non-monopoly taxi service) only cots 150 pesos (or about $4. I'm sure Blackbeards got a piece of that $20. Yeah, I know it's only $16, but on principle I don't like getting screwed if it's for 16 cents.
Well, again, maybe it's me. I walked to the gate and paid US$1 for a collectivo to downtown. I paid US$1 for another collectivo to Sosua. Now, both drivers were willing to make change, but it was not an issue. Also, you can take the public buses around town.
Tourists use taxis in Costambrar. If you speak Spanish and are willing to operate like a local, BBs and Costambrar is a bargain.
considering that the hotel nickels and dimes you on every single item. the room, food, girls (yes according to two of the girls they have to pay the house a substantial cut), cigars, bathing suits, tours, viagra, lingerie, and now taxi rides, it's not a place i would recommend. i'd say pirate theme is very appropriate, the management [CodeWord124] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord124) and pillages you every chance they get. i would strongly disagree with the above criticism. i have visited blackbeard's a dozen times now, and i have never felt nickel and dimed. in fact, on my most recent visit (i just got home 3 days ago), my experience was exactly the opposite.
i encountered some terrible airline delays on the way down there, and ended up arriving at the hotel a full 24 hours behind schedule. i had e-mailed the office to alert them to my delay and ask them to please hold my room for me.
when i finally did drag my ass through the front door and check in, i noticed on my bill that they had not charged me for the night that i had missed. i thought that was very classy of them, and i mentioned to captain tim, that had i been charged for that missed night, i would not have complained. after all, i did make the reservation for that night, and they did hold that room for me, and it was not their fault that the travel problems caused me to show up a day late.
so i was once again made to feel welcome and appreciated as a guest at blackbeard's.
i had kind of a similar experience several trips ago. there was a problem with the ac in my deluxe single room on my final day, and they just could not seem to get it fixed. i asked for another room for my final night. the only available room was one of the more expensive ground-floor deluxe doubles. they cheerfully allowed me to move down to the deluxe double, and did not charge me the difference for the more expensive room. the problem with the air conditioner was their responsibility, and they (correctly) did not pass the expense of the new room along to me.
i have also observed numerous small and large improvement projects going on at the hotel over the course of many visits, and these things cost money, and they result in the guests feeling more comfortable. the aforementioned deluxe doubles have all been re-modeled, and they are beautiful and more functional than before. this had to be a very costly project for el capitan!
there is also new furniture in the lobby, very nice! a ceiling fan was installed in the lobby only days ago. there was a colorful new bedspread introduced into my room during my stay.
the food? i have always enjoyed the food at blackbeard's, but on this trip, it just seemed to be a little better than ever. i dined at the restaurant on 8 evenings with my chica, and twice invited another chica to eat with us. and on 2 or 3 other occasions invited another chica or 2 to have ice cream with us. that amounts to in excess of 18 meals. my restaurant tab. $152. that's slightly more than $8 a meal!
in my book that is a bargain, not nickel and diming.
my bar tab? drinks before dinner on some nights. drinks with dinner every night. drinks after dinner on some nights. 8 nights. $139. and of course the above quoted totals include the built in 10% gratuity.
blackbeard's is a business. they are there to make a profit, and they deserve to make a profit. in my opinion, blackbeard's is a great value. i am happy to pay their going rates. i want the place to continue to flourish, because i want to keep going back there. and i had to speak up in rebuttal of the criticism directed at my favorite destination.
long live blackbeard's!
Looks like the only BS being detected is your own!!

Long Live Blackbeard's!
I also have had nothing but great visits at Blackbeard's (5 times) in the last two years. I have always been treated like a king by the staff and the chicas. I have no major complaints. Whenever I had a small problem it was taken care of to my satisfaction.
I know there is always going to be people that think it too confined and slow, but I like it. Someone's 6 might be my 8 and vice versa. I have had 9's-10's that sucked personality wise and have had 6's-7's that performed off the hook. Give me the 7 with the great personality any day. A great personailty can definately enhance a great sexual experience.
I personally can't say anything bad about BB's, I have also been to Sosua and stayed at the New Garden Hotel, which I like.
BB's and Sosua are two different flavors each with positives and negatives. The chica choices probably favor Sosua, but you also have no one to complain to about a chica if she gets out of line.
Wherever you go just try to focus on the positive and have a great time. Because you cant have the time you have in the D.R. here at home in the US.
Peace
...........Give me the 7 with the great personality any day. A great personailty can definately enhance a great sexual experience .......
That certainly is the truth. 10's are nice to look at but it sure does not mean they will put that big happy smile on your face.

if you are looking for another hotel / apartment option in puerto plata. i stayed before at the kma (http://www.kmahotel.com/). it's really a furnished apartments so you get more space depending on the apartment configuration you choose. each room has high speed internet, as long as you bring your laptop it is free but they have a rental option if you want to rent their computer. pool onsite, it's secure, clean, housekeeping, decent hot water and pressure, a/c in the bedroom only. some restaurant but i never used it so i can't comment on it. it is conveniently located near jose luis grocery store, gas station, restaurant, etc. about 10-15 minutes from the malecon.
i choose a middle class room (essential a one bedroom with living room, dinning area, kitchen, & bathroom) for about $250/week a few months ago. now they have two types of prices. dominican and gringo price. the way to pay dominican price is either to speak very good spanish and act like you belong or have a dominican you know and trust reserve the apartment for you.
Spent 5 days at BB recently and just sharing a few observations.
If you want to party, book the weekend; if you want the place to yourself and the laid-back Caribbean pace of life, book the off-days.
Friday was a “Mardis Gras” night and the girls all wore costumes. They all got into dancing and like teenage girls, got into some “group girl” dances which were entertaining, and some occasional pole-dancing and showing off on the stage. (Rocio missed her calling. She should have gone into the theater. A real character. I felt a little like Toulouse Lautrec at the Moulin Rouge). – (Google it).
After 5 years of going to the RD, I got my first Bachata lesson. Back to the room with the novia.
Saturday was the “Miss Universe” contest, with (un)dress outfits and provocative dancing, occasional lap/face dancing. Yohanny won. No questions there. She can move unbelievably.
(Okay, maybe I’m a drag, but I had more fun on Friday).
By Sunday, most party-ers were leaving and the average age went way up. (I’m in my 50s, and I felt like the “kid”).
Fine, I made a daytrip and chilled with the novia.
By Monday, workers showed up to change the palm thatch on the restaurant-bar area.
Started hammering at 6:30 am to remove the old thatch and nails, and I was wondering what a power screwdriver would cost. Real life in the Caribbean.
I get up earlier than the novia, and usually stagger over in the morning to get coffee.
They had just made it and when I poured it in the cup, the bubbles/foam on top were a brownish color. Oh yeah.
Not bad for “mediocre” free coffee like some guy was complaining about last week.
(I personally was disgusted that the free caviar was too salty; -geez!).
The food was good. My meals included pork medallions ($8) and a rumpsteak they call the “Bandera Dominicana” (Dominican Flag) for about $7. (A salad and potato/rice choice included). A couple of times I opted for fish dinners at a favorite (smoky) local place off-site. All in all, dinners were good quality and service was good. One waitress in particular, Ruth, was on the ball. Very attentive (and when I ordered a bottle of red wine, she knew it wasn’t supposed to be chilled).
(So sue me, I stopped drinking Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill in college).
The waitresses all know I order the Mexican omelette and a plate of fruit for breakfast.
Many new faces among the girls in addition to some familiar friendly ones. As one might expect, numbers, selection are less during the day/off days, since there are fewer potential customers. I noted a lot of the “stars” were off that week. Numbers/selection goes up in the evening and on weekends. A one-time short visit is unlikely to provide a complete picture. Over time one knows what girls are available, and can make a date in advance for daytime or the next day with favorites. If a favorite is not there, have the mamasan make arrangements for later, or better yet, arrange in advance.
I always make use of Jenny’s supermarket for money. Airport rate was 32 pesos to the dollar. (Yahoo Finance showed the rate was 36.46).
Jenny’s offered 36.25 to the dollar.
As I was with the novia, I wasn't "mongering" per se, but all in all, had an enjoyable time for the cost and the info offered is accurate.
Suerte,
Y69
Staying at one of the all inclusive resorts for a long weekend with some buddies from college. I know we can't bring girls back into the resort without a hassle but where can we get action at night if we have a driver lined up to take us around? Everyone mentions BB and FOD but I assume you have to be staying there to take advantage of the amenities right? Or can we just go to the bar and rent a room for the night with a guest?
Any advice would be appreciated and I'll have a lengthy report for you when I get back.

I don't follow your logic here. Surely if you "rent a room for the night" then you would be "staying there"?
Cannot speak for BB but certainly at FoD you can rent a room for one night or even for a few hours at a reduced rate. You can take outside chicas in for the night and I would guess also for the short-time rental as well or, of course, you can choose from the chicas who are already on site.
I was there for a couple of hours this afternoon (Saturday) and I counted 15 (mostly attractive) chicas hanging round the bar plus any who may have been in the room with guests. There was something for everyone there*, chicas from 18 to early thirties, muy flaca to "thick", blancas to morenas, chicas new to the game and old favorites from Blackbeards.
* except for me - no haitianas!
However if you mean a group of you all sharing one room to bang your respective chicas then that might not be permitted, though I don't really know.
If you are picking up your chicas elsewhere then of course you could go to a cabaña. There are several on the road west out of Puerto Plata towards Cofresí. Your driver will know them all. La Roka is the most deluxe, Sensatión is many people's favorite, but they are all reliable.

and a rumpsteak they call the “Bandera Dominicana” (Dominican Flag)
Great report as always from Yanqui69 but some confusion here surely. "Bandera Dominicana" is chicken, rice and beans. How many Dominicans can afford to eat rump steak?
Great report as always from Yanqui69 but some confusion here surely. "Bandera Dominica" is chicken, rice and beans. How many Dominicans can afford to eat rump steak?
Can't say, bud.
On the menu that's what it was called, and I expected kind of a thinly sliced Palomillo type steak, but it was several pieces of tender rumpsteak that reminded me a lot of rumpsteak I've had in Germany.
I usually have some kind of fish, but tried this cause I couldn't pass up the price (225 pesos, if I remember right).
P.S.
looked it up and a typical "bandera Dominicana" consists of
stewed chicken, goat or beef with rice and red beans.
It did come with red beans and rice, but I guess they figured most gringos wouldn't go for goat.

I did not stay at BB, but rented a ST room twice during my week in Puerto Plata. If an availability exists, I am certain that BB will rent it to you.
Yeah I meant staying there overnight. If you can rent a room for a few hours then that might work. I'll check out the other recommendations too. Thanks for the advice guys and I'll definitely have a report when I get back!

Everyone mentions BB and FOD but I assume you have to be staying there to take advantage of the amenities right? Or can we just go to the bar and rent a room for the night with a guest?
Any advice would be appreciated and I'll have a lengthy report for you when I get back.
Kid. Save yourself and your buddy's time, money, and frustration. Cancel your AI reservation and try to get lodging at BB's instead. If Sosua is your thing them try either the "New Garden" or "Hotel El Rancho". Both are easy walking distance to everything in town. Why on earth would you want to stay at the sexless gulags of the AI's. FOD's is OK but the action is very spotty at night as many of the chicas go home early and the place isn't as well organized as BB's. I would recommend FOD however if you're there to golf as the Playa Dorada golf complex is right across the street. If you must bring a "guest" into BB's keep in mind that if security considers her a problem chica from their past experience they won't let her in. Also, if she can't produce a valid "cedula" or national ID card proving she is over 18, they won't let her in either. No exceptions. I'm quite certain that if BB's has a room they will be delighted to let you stay there for a night with your guest. Also, you could always take your chica there just for lunch/dinner at their restaraunt that's a good value with good chow. She can fill out a job application while you dine there at the same time. Take care and be well.
