Okay brothers, here's the situation: I'm sneaking away for a weekend in DR (yes, I have an S. O.). She is in a different city (4hrs away). I'm trying to figure out how my cell phone number will show up to her on her cell phone and what message she will get when I don't answer (I. E. Will she get a message in spanish from the local carrier that I'm not available or the English message she gets in the US from AT&T that I'm not available). Basically, I want to see if I'll be giving any indicators while I'm in DR. And, if so, how I can avoid those indicators. Same with texts.

Need an answer quick! I fly out Thursday at 12:30pm. I'd like to do a quick experiment if someone in DR can PM me, we can exchange numbers and call to see what happens.

Thanks in advance!

I think that if your cell phone is being monitored by a DR network (Claro in your case), your "SO" will get a voice message in Spanish if you don't answer. Turn it off before you leave the US to be on the safe side!

Due to the recent changes at FOD I reluctantly cancelled my reservations for next week. Originally I was going to keep my reservations as I have plenty of contacts in POP and I usually bring my own sand to the FOD beach anyway. What changed my mind was I found out that they closed the restaurant. The bar is staying open but there are no restaurants close by and that was a deal breaker for me.

So now I am looking for alternative places to stay. Any recommendations on chica friendly condos in POP with at least one restaurant within walking distance?

My wingman and I cancelled out too and will be arriving at BB's a day earlier than planned. The English speaking Dominican manager named "Nelson" responded back with a cryptic message that they don't allow chicas in anymore but you can bring your own in...confusing. Now, no food. Yup, a typical Dominican shit show in the making. What a shame.

Sir Charles,

I contacted Billy before my last trip to check on accommodations for part of that trip. Billy was very prompt in answering some questions I had. I ended up going elsewhere for that portion of the trip, but Harbor View may make a lot of sense for my next time down and I do have some other questions.

You mention Billy cooking, which I didn't know about, are there any other restaurants gentle on a gringo stomach nearby?

Billy said parking a car there is fine and secure, could you elaborate? (I feel kind of pent up if I don't have wheels down there).

Anything else you can think of to add here, please do. A friend of mine is looking at staying in PP and I know he would be interested too.

Thanks in advance,

But the last time I went there for dinner he did nothing but insult and embarrass my two girls because one of them was sick and couldn't eat he proceeded to yell at me "I told you you shouldn't bring these fucking girls with you,they are nothing but a pain in the fucking ass" blah,blah,blah. Did I mention that they were sitting three feet from him while he was going off and that they both speak and understand english and I gladly paid for the girls dinner regardless of whether or not she ate it.

No offense Sir Charles,I know Billy is a good friend of yours and I used to like to sit and trade "war" stories with him but his abrasiveness has turned up a notch to the point where I can't stand to be around him anymore.

No other restaurants within comfortable walking distance but several good ones within a ten-minute drive as you say you have a car. Billy has a tiny outdoor bar with space for six max to sit. He offers a variety of meals so you need never repeat a menu unless staying more than two weeks. Given notice he will also come up with "specials" if he is sure that you will be dining that night. He has a reluctance to feed local chicas gringo type meals because they so often waste them. As he clearly is not cooking to make a profit but as a hobby he likes his food to be appreciated.

Usually there is space to park in the well-protected courtyard (space for Billy's guagua plus two cars). If the place is full there is a large and well-protected garage downstairs with space for eight cars. That is fine if you just go in and out once a day but inconvenient if you want to keep parking and removing your car every few hours.

Single bedroom or two bedroom (but sharing one bathroom) may be available.

How come I have acquired a knighthood here?

Sadly, this is fair comment. It's a switchback ride. Funnily enough I added the bit about Billy not liking to feed chicas in my post above before I read your post. It was your party I was thinking of in particular, but I have had my own problems in that respect too.

Billy Lane ran a 1 star hotel and he himself ran must of the guest off.

When I was at FOD in May it was now a 3 or 4 star service hotel.

The food was better, the rooms were nicer, the girls were better looking and the staff was all working to make the guest happy. Billy's place was never first class. He was the main problem with the hotel, Billy wouldn't know first class if it hit him the back of the head. Sorry to hear about the problems at FOD it was running better than ever. When I read the reports from the last few months I see that others agree with me.

I think if the management can keep up the good service and food they can make a run at it. GOOD LUCK

Hi guys,

This is my first post here in several years. I used to go by darkberrytaster here and on WSA, but couldn't log in under that name, so I registered under a new one. I'm an old friend of Billy's and one of the original investors in the Field Of Dreams.

I was checking out some DR real estate listings today and found this

http://www.Drlistings.com/en/home/restaurant-bar/puerto-plata-bar-restaurant-and-condo-business-opportunity.html

Billy is trying to sell the 2 condos he owns and the bar/restaurant. Anyone know what's going on? I emailed him, and haven't heard back yet.

BTW, is it a deep dark secret who the "Man Tour" guy is? I'm guessing if he's an expat who has been in Puerto Plata for a while, I probably know him.

I'll be making a report on La Romana soon with some pictures I think you all will enjoy a lot.

Can any one tell me if Jenny's supermarket near Blackbeards will change GBP cash to USD? Or change USD travellers cheques to USD cash?

And does anyone kow if there is an ATM at POP, or Sosua, that gives out USD?

Here at BB's right now. BB's might also let you exchange currencies back and forth. Currently the exchange rate is hovering at 37 pesos RD to the USD. Having a great time, bunch of guys here right now, plenty of pussy. Not alot of time to post as I'm enjoying myself. Take care and be safe out there.

Hi BigSmile

I am from England but live in Puerto Plata now. If you pay in dollars you will probably end up paying slightly more because of "rounding up" and their using old exchange rates.

One very good and frequently encountered example is a puta who will quote you "50 dollars" (over 1800 pesos) but will happily accept 1500 pesos which is the price she had in her head anyway.

Same applies for restaurants, taxis, etc. They are not sure of the exchange rate and most are barely numerate, so they round up to be on the "safe" side.

Hello, gentlemen. I'm not a newbie, with at least 30 D. R. Trips, having visited Blackbeards early on, with the intention of getting some much needed experience. Needless to say, I fell for someone after spending 4 great days with her. She has since gone to Spain, and I found a great Chica in one of the small northcoast towns who will soon come here. My girl has an open mind, especially since she is coming here, and will permit me to be with 'working girls', (less risk). SInce she is giving me some real freedom on my next trip, I was thinking about returning to Blackbeards, even though I think it's for newbies. The newsletter has some cute babes. I'm just curious as to what the current rates are?

Second question: I've been to Sosua 100 times, but really haven't seen any cabanas. This would make things much easier than renting a room from one of the mediocre hotels. Does anyone know if there is a cabana close by?

I have never seen an ATM anywhere in the DR that gives out USD.I am going to be staying at two different hotels during my forthcoming trip. They both want cash USD for payment. BB also give you a DOP alternative but the exchange rate thay have previously applied has been poor.coming from the UK if I buy USD in the UK I get a lousy rate at home.

Have no problem paying girls and hotels just don't want half my budget going to the banks.

Just got back from four nights at blackbeards (Mon-Thu night, left Fri morning). This place rocks. It was pretty quiet during the first part of the week, but a lot of people started coming in on Wed/Thurs. The staff (bar/kitchen/managers) were all fantastic and the chicas were great too (my first time to DR, don't speak much Spanish, and I still had a blast with almost zero drama). Highly recommended, especially to nubs like me. Bring a lot of cash, the ATMs in the area were unreliable, and paying the extra 20% for using a credit card sucks (this isn't BB's fault, this was par for a lot of businesses around the area I noticed). When I wasn't with the chicas I did the waterfall tour, also pretty awesome, but don't go if you're way out of shape or have a major hangover as it can get a bit crazy if you go the day of a major rainstorm like I did. Anyway, I'll be back!

Charles Pooter has just informed me that FOD has not been "shut down". I thought this info should be posted here instead of the "politics in the DR" board.

To maintain my good standing(didn't know I had that) and to keep from being sued, I should say the "NEW FOD" is a success. All ten rooms were rented and they are more than breaking even(wink). The restaurant has great food and they cut deals long term.

Also the new owners felt having girls hanging around the beautiful pool waiting for clients, violates the original agreement they had.

So if you want a chica friendly hotel in the middle of nowhere, please go to the "NEW FOD". Remember soon there might be a waiting list.

I was there for 5 minutes on the afternoon of 7/14. Stopped by on my way into BB's. There were no girls there and i was told by the bartenders and an old BB's girl named, "Josey" that the girls were kicked out. Josey was there on a date with a regular client. I speak Spanish and Josey told me that she thinks that the owners refused to pay the cops off. Her opinion not mine. I'm glad to hear its back in business as the former American manager was doing a pretty good job. Josey said that the girls were asking and getting $2,500 pesos a shot. Market right now is $1,500 on the street for something decent. Yeah, I know, you can get it for 1000 yadda yadda but I hate the HIV/AIDS thing, etc.
I was in error on my previous post below about BB's changing pesos back to USD. I spoke with management and "Tim" told me they simply recommend spending your remaining pesos to settle your bill. If you have any leftover consider taking it home and bring it back on your next visit. If you don't plan on returning, try selling the pesos back to another monger staying there or you might even try exchanging the pesos with one of the chicas who are often paid in USD and would be happy to exchange with you, saves them a trip to the cambio after work.
I'll post a trip report in a few days once i get my images dumped into my PC. Stay thirsty my friends.

I replied to your original post in the "Politics in the DR" section before I saw this. A bit confusing carrying on the dicussion in two different threads.

The tourist Visa is good for 30 days, you can stay as long as you like, just have to pay an overstay fine upon departure, which is minimal, like RD1000/3 months to a year. If you drive, you are not insured without a cedula once the 30 days has elapsed.

All this info can be found on the other Dominican sites.

You pay a small overstay fee when you leave the country. It is a formality, but be aware of the correct rates as the official may try to overcharge you. I once paid the (correct) 1000 pesos for staying over three months and the official put the money straight in his back pocket.

De 30 dias a 3 meses 800.00
De 3 meses a 9 meses 1,000.00
De 9 meses a 1 año 2,500.00
De 1 año a 1 año y 6 meses 4,000.00
De 1 año y medio a 2 años 5,000.00
De 2 años a 2 años y 6 meses 6,500.00
De 2 años y medio a 3 años 9,000.00
De 2 años a 5 años 14,000.00
De 5 años en adelante 17,000.00

I recently briefly left the country to visit Haïti. I have been here now nearly a year on my three month tourist visa so I expected to have to pay 2500 pesos. I got away with it, and with a new entry stamp when I came back into the DR I may have ducked it for another three months. But at an airport you will not get away with it. Things at the Haitian border are chaotic.

Hi Don. I was there 5 nights from 14-18 July. Short time is 1,500 pesos or $40.82 USD and toda la noche (all night) is exactly double that. If she show you a really good time you might tip her a few bucks but she can't ask for it. I just posted some pics in the photo thread. BB's is a great place for the noob traveler to the DR.

I would not recommend BB for the all people. BB is generally good for people who do not want to hunting for girls, experience the art of seduction or who want to experience the thrill of the chase.
BB is for laid back people who enjoy readily availale house girls. There is no art of bargaining, no thrill of meeting normal girls or semi pros. The price and everything else is pretty structured. Yes, it is safe and well run. But you do not get your monger wings by staying there.
I rememer the first time I was in Sosua. It was a definite thrill when I went to High Caribe Disco. There were wall to wall beatifull girls. The Disco was very spacious and even if you are not looking for girls can dance away the night with other tourists. I was sorry to see it closed.
To experience DR you need to be in Sosua, not hiding in BB.

Yes, I kinda agree but:
--- BB is excellent for newbies to give them confidence, especially if they have no Spanish.
--- Sosúa is totally untypical of the DR, so I would say "to experience the DR" keep your ass out of Sosúa.

Right you are Sir Charles (yes, you have been knighted Charles-Live with it... LOL).

Monger Wings????? WTF???

At BBs you get the controlled environment of "working girls" sitting around waiting for you to "ask them out" in a small gated comunity.

In Sosua you get the semi-controlled environment of "working girls" going to the disco at night waiting for you to "ask them out" in what doubles as a resort town.

Neither place is where you truly get to "experience the DR". These puta havens on the North Coast only give you a glimpse of the real DR. If you want to see that, go off the beaten track. See how they live and enjoy the beauty of the island.

Go to one of the small barios and visit their homes (I recommend doing this only with a friendly local) and you start to appreciate some of the DR. Watch the locals come out of the woodwork to see this oddity called a "gringo" up close in their community. Meet kids who have never seen a gringo before in person. Explore a bit and you will not be disappointed.

If all you do is go to the puta hangouts on the North Coast, you will come away with a warped view of what the DR is really like. Believe it or not, not every beautiful chica in the DR is for sale. I am not telling to not try though....

I agree with the 3 posts below. I lived in Santo Do for 6 months back in 2001/2002, I speak more than acceptable Spanish, and have read several books about the history and culture of the island of Hispaniola. Highly Recommended reading a book titled: "Why the Cocks Fight" by an American author, I think with the last name of Wunk or Wunz or something like that. Even you guys that reside down there would appreciate this book, I know it sure increased my understanding. Might be available used on Amazon, I'll check.
Yes, BB's is not the true DR, and Sosua is a bit of an aberation. Even though I can get around, I still prefer to avoid looking for "regular" girls when on a limited time vacation. Of course, if you live down there then your method is superior. I spent alot of time working both sides of the Haitian border and saw my share of the barrio and el campo. I'll stick with the hot running water, flush toilets thing and try to forget my past romantic notions of the "people living closer to the land"...yadda, yadda. They're poor and they walk on dirt floors! Whenever I crossed the border into Haiti I felt like I was crossing the River Styx into the underworld.
I used to think that not every chica wasn't for sale, now I'm not so sure. Frankly, my worst putas were the semi good looking, older, light skinned ones from higher families and an attitude. They acted like gringas, wouldn't fuck right away, then wanted to go away to an all inclusive before the 2nd session. Sounds like a high class call girl to me. I prefer the poorer, pretty girls just trying to raise their abandoned children (where do their fathers go?) and survive. Just my 2 cents. Take care and be well.

You all are correct. I don't think any of these girls can ever truly love a gringo. They can only love their own kind, even though they are often treated badly by them. You need only 3 things to be happy with a novia down there:
1) Respect (genuine).
2) Friendship
3) Good sex when you need it.

If she shows you the above 3 consider yourself lucky and keep her. Otherwise, just bail and move on.


I ain't going hit you on this post. It is nowhere near the argumentative stuff you posted that got Jackson all riled up in the recent past.

You are presenting an opinion on DR women that may be rather sweeping, but not overly aggressive IMHO and could be open for discussion.

Personally, I have a belief that not all the women in the DR are puta's. I don't think you said that expressly, but that is something I gleaned from your post. I see women there, especially those in the lower economic stratus, as being in a tough spot. Good jobs are hard to come by in the DR. Poor decisions early in life resulting in children and no father in sight can make for a desperate situation. Although there is a stigma attached for being a working girl in the DR, unlike many other countries in the world, it is legal here.

Do I fault them for this. No. In fact that is one of the things that draws me to them. Simply by being able to travel to their country, and having the disposable income to spend as much in a day there (hotel, food, drinks, chica's) as many wage earners garner in a month, makes me look like Brad Pitt to these women. It is amazing to me how handsome I am in the DR when I stand on my wallet (LOL). I enjoy being treated like a Rock Star by women there. Does this offend me? No. Do I think any less of these women because they find me attractive due to my perceived wealth. Not me. I understand the game and I like playing it.

As far as the highest or lowest form of puta's, I don't know the point of it. Some of this stuff belongs in the forums discussing general women of the world.

I may be playing Dr. Phil here, but something tells me you don't have a very high opinion of women in general, from this posts and others in the past. I am not trying to flame you for this, just stating one man's opinion. I on the other hand, might be much more of an idealist, as I look at many of these chicas as women deserving some respect (unless they steal from me, of course).

My 2 cents,

Geolopes, that's all that I would crave in a LTR!

(And what is "she" looking for? Respect, friendship, and "the good life.")

Speaking for myself, I'm on ISG to find out where the putas are. I go to the DR looking for putas; I have my antennae tuned to The Puta Channel; I'm gonna go where the putas go. I'm not looking for Undying Love, or Miss Princess-Of-Virtue; I'm looking for Miss Girl-Who-Wanna-Have-Fun. And she's looking for a man with a well-hung ... wallet.

I see women (in the DR), especially those in the lower economic stratus, as being in a tough spot. Good jobs are hard to come by in the DR. Poor decisions early in life resulting in children and no father in sight can make for a desperate situation. Although there is a stigma attached for being a working girl in the DR, unlike many other countries in the world, it is legal here.And that's the other side of the coin. The DR is a poor country, and "lower economic status" is pretty stark compared with my homeland. She needs to support her children - and the best option might be to "sell her favors," to be delicate (almost Victorian) about it. "She" is not fundamentally wicked, bad, or debased, because she peddles her pussy to put food in front of her child. And I'm not "fundamentally superior to her" because my momma didn't, or because I have the money to buy her "favors". As I've quoted elsewhere, "one man's meat is another man's person."

Do I fault them for this. No. In fact that is one of the things that draws me to them. Simply by being able to travel to their country, and having the disposable income to spend as much in a day there (hotel, food, drinks, chica's) as many wage earners garner in a month, makes me look like Brad Pitt to these women. It is amazing to me how handsome I am in the DR when I stand on my wallet (LOL). Exactly, Ponderosa! And ROFLMAO! That last sentence is CLASSIC!

So ... I'm in town for a few nights, maybe as much as a week. I will not be looking for That Special One; I'll be looking to help as many "unwed mothers" as I can manage, a short-time at a time. Does this make me, in turn, fundamentally wicked, bad, or debased? In some eyes, yes. But if I treat her with respect, friendliness and money-for-value - that's pretty good.

How would it change matters if I moved down to the DR - maybe taking a villa in Costambar, for example? Maybe a lot. I'd be a ripe mango for one of those "professional novias" that Ayyyypapi mentions. My best hope would be to find one with whom I shared "respect, friendship, and good sex", and enjoy it as long as it lasted. I think that's the best hope any of us could have.

I don't disbelieve that love, or something very satisfyingly similar, could grow in a relationship like that. I don't disbelieve that a Dominicana could come to love her "rich American benefactor". But, for now, I'm not coming to the DR "looking for love." Just for fun.

Having money is an attribute just like good looks or being famous. These attributes are what makes a girl like you in the DR or the States there is no difference. It just takes much more money and fame here in the states. Look at the girls Trump, Stern or Hef pull for example. We step off the plane in the DR and we are living the life of millionaires and a little bit of the famous lifestyle because we come from this so called "paradise of America". How many times have you seen a mismatched couple here in the states where the man is loaded or famous.

First let me just say I am not in love with any DR woman...lol but I also disagree unless I missed the point below, sure a DR woman can truly love a gringo.

Any word on FOD?!

I'm now in Las Terrenas and I'm going nuts! There's nothing to do here, I primarily didn't come here for the chicas but it is boring after spending 2 days doing the touristy stuff. Someone help!

I want to be somewhere else other than Las Terrenas. I want to stay in Puerta Plata because I have a departing flight tommorrow morning at the airport. I want to salvage this vacation before it's over.

Yes, FoD would be ideal in your circumstances. What word in particular are you looking for? Rooms are only $35.

You have only one night to salvage the whole vacation?

Check in at FoD as soon as possible then get your ass down to Cristal and pick on or more (if money is no object). Cheaper venues are Babilon or La Fragrancia. Or go to Passions in Sosúa.

I am assuming you want to make an early pick and retire early for the night if you are flying out early next day so I am not recommending Disco Clasico.

There were surely enough chicas in LT to keep you occupied for two days? Unless you are going through them at a rate of 20 per day?

FOD is a very nice inexpensive chica friendly hotel now ONLY. Do not expect to find girls waiting around on premises any more. Since you are leaving early Sat, Charles ideas of Cristals if money is not the object is valid, or maybe LaPassions in Sosua for a bit less. New Garden in Sosua usually has girls hanging around and it may make for a good place to stay also. If you don't mind staying up half the night, Claisico's Disco usually provides a swarm of working girls with many stunners. Brush up on you negotiating skills there though.

Most of all, EnJOY!!!

Didn't Babilon get re-named D'Stephan Sonido? Probably the cabbies or motoconchistas would know it as Babilon, though.

On edit - The night I was there, I perceived the music as "less loud" than at Consulado or La Fragrancia. I appreciated it at the time....

D'Esteban, yes, but find me a single staff member there, motoconchista or taxista who doesn't still call it Babilon.

Don't anyone be misled by Westy's comment on sound-levels there. He must have visited during a power outage. I was there last night and the sound levels made me nauseous. Dominican Billy and I have voted it the most intolerable sound on the North Coast.

But Corydutch will be in a hurry so he can sit in the entrance porch with the security guys and motoconchistas and ask Chiquita (the very helpful manageress/mamasan) to bring the girls out for inspection. The light is better there too.

I've edited the post to "highlight" that what I perceived were, after all, only my perceptions. Maybe I'd been so deafened by the other places that I hadn't gotten my hearing back enough to perceive properly.

Well, I decided to spend the night at FOD and not do anything else because I had an early flight the next morning and I don't speak fluent spanish, so going to an unfamiliar place is really intimidating.

When I arrived at the hotel room, I was immediately offered a girl by the concierge and of course I accepted. The first girl that was offered I did not accept, she was kinda plump and displayed an attitude which I figured would not make a night pleasant. I settled for the second girl because I didn't want to be a nuisance. She was real nice and friendly, she actually spoke english so I was happy. I only speak basic spanish so it was difficult to communicate with anyone in this country. Physical rating was about a 6, I expected better but whatever, it was my last night and I wanted to get my nut off. I paid her 2500 pesos, which I thought was kinda high and I didn't know what the actual median rates were here so I could not negotiate. Overall, I had a fun night with her but I wish I was able to pick and choose from a selection of girls rather than taking whatever was offered.

Thanks for reporting back. I guess you made the best of a bad job. You sort of painted yourself into a corner by leaving the sex part of your holiday to the last few hours. (I still don't understand why you couldn't get laid in Las Terrenas. It is not a venue for a mongering holiday but there must be a couple of dozen w h o r e s there. Surely two or three of them would have suited you?)

As Ponderosa and I told you, FoD is a location for bringing in your own chicas. Not for accepting what the receptionist had to offer (and I guess she got a large slice of that 2500). That is the price you would expect to pay there for TLN but that is no consolation if you didn't fancy the girl. To get a better choice you would either have to pay a lot more (Cristal, Passions, El Bohen) or spend time sorting through the chicas in the cheaper venues. I would gladly have volunteered to have been your guide for that but it was all too last minute.

Others will say you should have stayed at Blackbeards or in Sosúa but again you ran out of time for that. (Were you booked on a charter flight back to Europe? (American guys always think "if the worse comes to the worse I can get another flight later that day or the next day". They don't realise that if you miss a charter flight to Europe it could be several weeks before a vacant seat is available at an affordable price.)

Next time plan better and don't be "intimidated" or worry about being "being a nuisance". If that is your starting position then Dominicans will walk all over you.

You seem to be the Authority on all things Puerto Plata. Do you know what is the price for rooms at FOD? If I stay there without a car, what is the cost of a publico to Sosua? Is it the same at night?

Thanks for all your input on this board, it is good to have someone living there contributing.

Thanks for all your input on this board, it is good to have someone living there contributing.Thanks for your kind words but I am far from the Authority (not even an authority with a small "a"). I have only been living here for less than a year, I am an old feeble guy, I don't have a car and (especially after a mugging scare a few months ago) I am very cautious about where I go and at what times, so my data gathering is very limited.

However, the two questions you have asked don't need an expert to answer them.

Field of Dreams is currently charging US$35 per night for a standard room. They have one or two more expensive rooms and suites as well. That 35 dollar price was advertised to extend to the end of the year, but with so many changes there who knows? But they will certainly honor whatever price is quoted if you make a a firm booking.

A publico ride to Sosúa is 40 pesos (a few cents over a US dollar) each way (as against a private taxi charging anything from 600 to 800 pesos one way, so only worth it if you have three or four guys sharing). They charge 45 at night. Not sure what the changeover time is (maybe 9 or 10pm?) but I wouldn't quibble over 5 pesos. The Rio San Juan guagua is maybe 5 pesos cheaper for the same route. The city guaguas are 10 pesos cheaper but painfully slow and infrequent. I avoid them unless one comes along when it is pouring with rain.

I believe a major hike is proposed in fuel prices so those fares may go up, but it wouldn't be more than 5 or 10 pesos at the most or there would be a revolution.

I don't know if you are a DR newbie or a hardened vet, but I love showing newbies how to use the publico and guagua system, also showing them round the downmarket Dominican bars in the city, so if I can be of any use to you or anyone else in those respects, send me a PM (but with as much notice as possible).

Sir Charles, tell me if the publicos run all night. When I was in POP the last time, I always returned to Costambar by 5 or 6 P.M. I could always order from BBs if I wanted company. I plan to return soon, but will stay in POP, and want to know when the publicos stop running, if at all.

Yes, the publicos run all night (but not the guaguas). They are fairly frequent until club closing time (midnight Sun-Thurs and 2.00am Fri & Sat) then once they have gathered up the club-leavers they thin out, so you could wait 15/20 minutes for one at 3.30am.

Not a big problem if you are waiting somewhere safe but a bit disconcerting if you are alone in the middle of nowhere as I have been a couple of times. One of those times I got a lift in a cop car. I accepted it reluctantly as the lesser of two evils but they were no problem at all apart from not being able to understand why I didn't know Paul McCartney personally as we were clearly of the same generation and came from the same Nuevo Yol borough (the one called "England").

Will be in the Gran Ventana in October and would love to escape the family for some fun local to the beach, Can you guys give some advice to me?Hotel Gran Ventana is in Playa Dorada complex with about 9 other all inclusive hotels. Playa Dorada complex has a gate and security guards, which keeps out some local people.

Playa Dorada complex has a few bars, coco boingo, roadhouse, hemingways. Usually not many pro chicas can get into playa dorada complex.

Crystals strip club/brothel is less than 10 minutes away by car, usually good selection of chicas, but expensive, over $100 US.

El Bohem I never found, but it is also a brothel.

I live in Puerto Plata and would be happy to show you the places to pick up putas and where to take them, but the beach wouldn't be one of them. If I take you around I would expect you to pay my motoconcho/publico fares and my refrescos ($10 should cover a day or night out as to my expenses).

If Man-Tour had a flat rate for a day and a limit to the number that you could bring he may get a better response. Otherwise I if I were him I would be working the bartenders and dealers at the AIs to get him referrals for a kick back. Then there would be value for people who need all the trimings.

The $10 tour of Puerto Plata sounds like a good deal ...

like your rates better. If Man-Tour had a flat rate for a day ...
OK, let's jump on this one before it gets out of hand. I am not promoting myself as a tour guide in competition with Man-Tour, and even less at a cheap fixed-rate. He has been here longer, knows a lot more contacts, speaks fluent Spanish and, most important, has a car. From what little feed-back we have had so far, he does a good job at a reasonable price for those without the confidence to find their own way around or for those whose time is limited and place a high value on it. I have only met him briefly twice but he seemed a pleasant and sensible person.

All I am offering to do is show newbies the basics, where the various venues are, how to get around by public transport, and give them some guidelines on chica and other prices. If they want to pay for a private taxi we will get to see more and faster, but I don't advocate that unless they have a lot deeper pockets then me. If not, then they need to ride the motoconchos which are a relatively dangerous form of transportation. If they are not happy to do that (and I wouldn't blame anyone for leaving motoconchos well alone after my recent accident and lucky escape) then we will need to use taxis. And if we are going to use taxis they might be better off using Man-Tour.

I am living off a small pension so I need to cover any expenses incurred, which would vary according to how long we stay out and how many venues we visit. If I am walking into a bar I need to order at least something (soft drink, juice, or water) and motoconchos cost 25 to 50 pesos per person per ride depending on the length of ride and time of day/night.

Incidentally, I am not claiming to have any unique insights into Puerto Plata, even less to have access to a secret stash of desirable chicas. Puerto Plata was a thriving centre for mongering ten or more years ago, but is pretty dead nowadays. Only last week I noticed that El Chakerero had not re-opened as a night-club but as a household goods store.

If your time is limited you might be better spending it in Sosúa, but if you have done that town to death a evening out in Puerto Plata makes a nice change of pace.


Does this include the wisdom of Dominican Billy ???
Probably not. He doesn't get out so much these days, but you never know. He would only go out in his own guagua (van) in which case a small contribution for gas might be appreciated.

But if you are staying at Field of Dreams, Littf, you may well bump into him, in which case you could invite him out yourself.


How do I get hold of you?
PM me here for my phone number as soon as you are settled in. Incidentally, I have said that to many guys and few have ever come back to me. As soon as you move into a place like FoD, Barba Negra, New Garden, Seabreeze, etc, you will soon make new friends and find it more convenient (and possibly more economical) to tag along with them, which is how it should be.



Mr Pooter is there anything you need that you have trouble finding in Dom Rep?
I do have friends who bring in stuff for me which I cannot source here but I would always be glad to add another willing volunteer to my rotation as they are not necessarily visiting at the right times. At the moment I am getting through KY Jelly quicker than my friends can ship it in, due to the sexual preferences of my two latest regular girlfriends. I am sure I could buy it here but I don't trust anything marketed here when it comes to intimate areas or for internal use.

Ummm, ...CP, mate, .....what part did I get wrong?

Sticking things "where the sun don't shine" is about the same, whether an inanimate object or a throbbing ....object.

I hadn't realised there was a difference so I have just looked on the KY website. Still cannot see any difference ...

... still I bow to your greater experience of these sickeningly perverted practices. I am trying to get these two young ladies back onto the straight and narrow of normal frontal sex but they seem bent on perversion. I shall be patient, but if they haven't reformed within (say) five years I shall cease inviting them round for tea on Sundays.

It is certainly not the sort of behaviour Rebel Monger would wish to witness from the future mother of his children.

I do have friends who bring in stuff for me which I cannot source here but I would always be glad to add another willing volunteer to my rotation as they are not necessarily visiting at the right times. At the moment I am getting through KY Jelly quicker than my friends can ship it in, due to the sexual preferences of my two latest regular girlfriends. I am sure I could buy it here but I don't trust anything marketed here when it comes to intimate areas or for internal use.Sir Charles,

I also love Haitians, and to have those big beautiful asses in motion is pure heaven. If you convert them back to "normal" girls that makes more work for me later.

Gentlemen,

I'm thinking about heading down to DR for the first time. An All inclusive resort looks like the way for me to go. I'm currently checking out Blackbeards and DR Nights. I do have a million questions. There is allot to read on this web site. To be sure, I am thankfull for the information. I am taking the time to read it all. However, it would be great if you guys can straighten me out on a few things to save me some time:

Black beards: Girls are always onsite 24/7 for service?

I pay for the room and all that but the girls I must negotiate directly? Or do I negotiate with a mamasan for my needs?

What are the services that the girls offer?

Are the girls only there for short time or is long time available?

Am I able to bring girls back with me from offsite areas?

Thanks for your time guys.

Last time I checked out DR nights site they were looking for many thousands of bucks for a 4-5 night trip. Total fucking ripoff Dude! Here are your BB's answers to your questions below. I've been to BB's 3 times, last trip was in mid July.
1) BB's has 2 shifts of girls. 1st shift arrives around 1100. 2nd shift arrives around 1800 and the place closes down at night around midnight. Most girls leave at that time unless you are doing an all nighter with her.
2) You talk directly with the girls. The Mamasan is only there if you need help or have a special request. I needed a deep throat BJ and was having trouble finding a chica who did that well so I asked "Yanet" and she gave me a good recommendation that I went with.
3) Prices are set at approx $42 USD for ST and double that for LT. ST can easily involve several hours, chatting at the bar,buying her a couple of drinks if you want. Hit the pool or jacuzzi for some groping, then smash it out in your room till ur done. Some girls might allow 2 shots on goal if they dig you and know how to please them.
4) Services always include fucking/sucking to your hearts content. Most girls don't do culo but a few will. Ask Yanet. One chica offered me her ass up in the disco but I had already made my bid with another, a favorite who adores being grudge fucked with everything you have. Loved it! Fucking is covered but many chicas will suck dick uncovered but won't take it in the mouth. Latin chicas often prefer you cum on their tits, makes them proud that they got you off. Cultural thing.
5) You are allowed to bring outside chicas but their security is tight regarding that. She MUST have a valid cedula, and not be known as a trouble maker. This is for your protection, OK. The nearby beach has a few skanks hanging around, up to you if that's ur thing. Enjoy.

Kaiju...I agree with geolopes 100%. Save your money and go to BB's. I was there for my 20th + trip in July and as always had a great time. There have been so many positive changes at BB's in the last 18 months or so since I was last there.

Here is a list of the positives:

1. Nice facility upgrades every where. The furniture in the common areas and restaurant were great.
2. What a difference in customer service. The managers were very attentive, the servers were better (still some room to improve but it is after all the DR) the house keeping staff was an A+.
3. Girls in general are much improved and seem to be happier or at least there is much less begging, drama and hard luck stories. I know they need money, have personal issues and don't like each other or what they do all the time. I am just happy to not be reminded of those things when I am trying to escape my responsibilities for a few days. Great job Rosabla and crew!
4. The food went from good to great depending on various factors. Before it ranged from average to good. Prices are reasonable. I have NO complaints.
5. Cable TV was much improved.
6. The generator was impressive. Most of the time I could not tell the difference. Very nice.
7. The information on the tours etc. was great and with a good variety to select from.
8. Money exchange was with in an acceptable range.
9. I looked my bill over after 4:30 each day and paid as I went once a day. I never had anything on there I did not buy. I also only went over my budget by $350.00 which is a first for me.
10. Girls never hit me up for food or drinks as they did in the past. I am generous to a fault and never say no but this time I got to ask them before they could ask me.

Over all the experience was A++ and as usual I met lots of great guys and I must say that the 3 judges at the Bikini Contest were the best I have ever seen! They were as serious about their task as possible.

I can not wait to return.... oh there was one negative thing....LEAVING SUCKS!! Looking forward to returning soon!

I have to agree Traveler, I was there begining of July & I was talked into being a judge. Not really. They used our room to change so in typical Dominican fashion I negotiated/bribed to be one of the judges. It is alot of work. You work up a great thirst. I also had a few beers. Are any of the servers available after hours? Food was very good, always had cold beer & there were many cute chicas. There was also some bigger, smaller, browner, lighter ect. The only time I left BB was to go to the casino. Taxi fares are awfull. 10 min ride =500 pesos. Will be back in Jan 2011.

I was there just last week...Gentleman BB's is running like a fine oiled machine. The talent is young with a great attitude. The funny thing I am seeing is some of the most popular girls that every guy seems to flock to are the worst, they are the big money makers too. I guess some guys dont mind if they are out to dinner and the girl is on the cell phone....ooh well to each their own. But most of the girls were really great! Everything has been ironed out and is as it should be; the only sad part is the place was empty, great for the monger but not for BB's. Hopefully that changes for the staff and John.

I couldnt agree more with the above post except number 10. The girls not only hit you up for drinks but somewhere over the last 2 years they got away from grande beers and have moved to expensive mixed drinks. BUT they always ASKED and I never felt the bill had added drink/food....the staff right now is to good to do that.

Dorker44....I do remember asking some of the girls if they wanted a drink and you are correct their tastes are a bit more refined than they used to be. I did not feel as pressured by the girls to buy drinks as I had in the past.

Servers (all staff) are off limits. That is a big no no for the staff. I would be willing to marry one of the bartenders if John said it was ok and was willing to bend / break one of the oldest taboo's at BB's.

Bikini Contest....I have never seen a girl in the contest that did not work there....so what you see can be yours....and there is plenty to see.

Thursday, Friday and saturday nights in the Disco can be a lot of fun. I always stay in the rooms over the bar and I do not mind the loud music with the right company.

The Jaccuzzi is a big hit with me. I kept looking for the damn bell to ring to get more drinks only to realize that it is now a buzzer on the side of the control panel....I was a little (ok a lot) drunk at the time.

The newsletter is great now with a lot more pictures. I save everyone of them and then print out a copy of the ones I would like to get to know better.

I also agree that some of the more popular girls (top money makers) are not always the best over all around performers. I was like a kid in a candy shop as the variety of girls was very nice. I found 4 girls that I could see myself with for a few days in a row and never be bored. That in its self is a very different experience for me.

Taxi prices suck....however I did find that if I was going out and needed a taxi in both directions I could get a much better rate if I told him what time to come and get me (us). Both times the taxi driver had me pay when I returned to BB's. I think that they are feeling the pinch a little as well.

What she suggested was to meet up after her shift at BB's at the bar in Costambar where a lot of the girls from BB's hang out. I can't remember the name of the bar,I know they have karaoke a couple nights a week and one of the waiters is a flaming faggot,wears a stuffed bra,lipstick etc.. If anyone knows the name of the bar please post as I am heading to Costambar in two weeks and want to go there to check out the scene.

Worse for me, there is no yerba maté to be had in Puerto Plata. Guess I'm going to have to emigrate to Argentina, after all. Or even Paraguay - Baviera is about as good as Presidente, and the Guarani bring your brewskis out in an ice-bucket.

The bar you are talking about is Banana Place, at the back of the old derelict hotel at the far end of Costambar beach from BB. Always good on a Saturday night but doesn't get going 'till late. You still have time to do the Saturday night BB Disco first. How's your kareoke singing voice, Mani?

That's news to me,though I did hear from a not so reliable source that Billy Lane and his wife were hired by Roberto to take over the kitchen and bar recently,don't know if it's true.
There was certainly a plan recently for Billy and his novia Wanda to run the kitchen there as a franchise but that idea was swept away by the buy-out.

So they have opened a little cafeteria on the Malecon instead. The bar/cafe at Harbor View is now closed.

Who the hell is Roberto?

The rumor I heard about FoD is that the new owners plan to run the place as a sort of Vikings or Oxygen Retreat. This is similar to what Randall was aiming for when he was manager and fell through because of the objections of the Playa Dorada Management Association and the Mininistry of Tourism to having a brothel across the way from Playa Dorada. For the same reason Billy never allowed chicas to hang on the premises hooking when he was running it (other than two or three under the guise of masseuses or family friends).

The new owners plan to circumvent such objections by making the place a private club so there will be no passing trade or holidaymakers popping over from Playa Dorada. I guess that might work if they have backing at some high level.

If so, that will be another amenity lost to the general mongering community. The irony is that since the last recent upheaval, when Randall and the resident hookers left, the hotel has been doing very well as just that, a hotel.

But Anoeca do not make their money from running businesses. They make it from lending money at high interest rates and (as a sideline) by selling businesses and buying them back again on the cheap when the new owners fail, so they were always keen to offload Field of Dreams.

I would repeat that I have no confirmation of the above rumor and there have been so many twists and turns at FoD lately it wouldn't surprise me if that too turns out to be off the mark.

Randall has just posted elsewhere confirming that Field of Dreams has been sold and that the hotel will be closed for 30 days. I don't know if that is from now or from the end of the week.

The fact that clients currently staying there have had their service rudely terminated without apology or explanation and existing bookings for next week have been unilaterally cancelled suggests that the new owners are totally uninterested in appealing to the same type of clientele.

Moreover, the fact that further conversion work is already under way would seem to confirm that it will be a different type of operation in the future, possibly a Vikings/Oxygen Retreat type as previously suggested (although Randall gave no clue about that).

Whatever the twists and turns of the Field of Dreams soap opera over the past year I have always wished the incoming regime the best of luck in keeping alive a useful facility for mongers.

I cannot in all sincerity say the same this time, but I don't suppose the new owners will be troubled by their lack of goodwill with the likes of us. They have bigger fish to fry.

Yes it is true. Field of Dreams is closed for good. The first day of the transition is today. Furniture is being shuffled about as you read. The new owner is American. The Field of Dreams sign on the highway will be removed today.Too bad, I liked the little place to stop by on occasions. I suppose all the chicas who worked there will more then likely be forced to go to Sosua.

Check with Marlon, the camarero at Estrella del Mar resturant on the beach. He runs courses for Costambar residents in his spare time. He might even introduce you to his sister!

Failing that there are plenty of other chicas willing to help you with Spanish. I'm on my Spanish professora number 15.

There are several bars where expats tend to congregate, not necessarily on the beach. Two that spring to mind are Bieke's Bar, opposite Jenny's supermarket and Roberto's bar, past the taxi rank on the left. You wouldn't recognize it as a bar. He runs it from his private house.

Both are pretty dead at this time of year but just wait 'till the Snowbirds start arriving in October!

It is definately true Rosalba told me herself when I called her to wish her a happy birthday, last week. Cristal is the Costa Rican chica that wins a lot of bikini contests, she likes to do summersaults. She is very high energy in EVERYTHING she does. I once gave her a five hour energy drink big mistake she FU***NG killed me, she didn't need it.

I am a regular at BB and and writing this from the BB bar right now. Rainy day as hurricane Earl is offshore and passing by. Place is running very well. Selection of chicas is very strong and while I liked Rosealba, I must say the team of Cristal and Janet as mamasans is very good. Cristal very organized and the girls like her. Good assortment of young and relatively new girls including this hot chick named Biance who just started this week. Smoking face and body with tramp stamp. I have not done her but others gave a good report. Also of note in that Field of Dreams has been sold to some American owner who is planning on reopening as some establishment involving chicas. I cannot tell whether inclusive or not but several old FOD girls told me that the new owner has called them proposing some employment. Most girls taking a wait and see attitude since they know it will take time to reestablish under a new name etc. I also hear that Randall, the former manager of FOD, who did a good job, is involved with the new owners. Drove by and the FOD sign is gone and they seem to be clearing fields around the hotel - maybe expanding? For sure something to watch.

My time at BB spent with Kirsia, Yojanny, Maria Isabel, Iris, Alice, and a great girl I met outside named Vanessa.

FoD has been sold to the owners of a "men's magazine" (Playboy type). I was told the name but had never heard of it and have since forgotten it. "Playdate"?

It will be run as a members only club, no walk-ins. They already have one or more similar clubs (one in Costa Rica?) and members are entitled to spend time at any of them.

Randall facilitated the purchase (although I understand a realtor originally bring the buyers and sellers together) and is well placed to advise the new owners. I don't know if that means he will necessarily have a continuing position there.

If the new owners are indeed tapping up former FoD chicas it looks as if I was not far off the mark with my earlier speculation.


No doubt the best of [the former FoD chicas] will work for the new owners and give the same service at double the price to the rich [members] who will be their target market.
... except that I used another word for "members" which I now regret as being uncalled for.

If so, it would also confirm that the wilder rumors that the new owners were to import boatloads of leggy blondes from the Ukraine, etc, etc. are just masturbatory fantasies from Yanks who cannot afford the time or money to visit Kiev or Odessa.

As for clearing the fields around the hotel, if that does anything to reduce the mosquito problem there it can only be for the good, but I guess the real reason is to create volleyball and tennis courts, etc., which such places seem to think their clients require. (Not sure why, myself.)

Westy
08-31-10, 18:03
FOD becoming a private club affiliated with a men's magazine? An interesting story - I can't help, however, visualizing a "time-share cathouse".

Whatever the new owners do in those regards, I hope they do bring in Randall; he surely knows the place, the potential problems, etc. (I met him only briefly during my June visit to POP - now I really wish I'd split my time between Blackbeard's and FOD. Oh well, 20/20 hindsight.)

Tapping the just-departed staff does seem to make a lot better business sense than flying in a bunch of blonde, leggy FSU girls, no matter if it challenges some punters' "masturbatory fantasies". If the club does well enough and the "rich [members]" are still hungry for the Kiev types, they can always upgrade in the future, can't they?

Opened on Thursday 19th of August, 2010. We have a full menu with my breakfast available all day. Wanda will cook a Dominican “plate of the day” but the menu is geared to the “gringos” who live or vacation in the Puerto Plata area.

The snowbirds and north Americans on vacation in the area will find the menu a pleasant change, good food at reasonable prices.

And the drinks on the Malecon are always a bargain.

But Billy was always great for the many trips I did do to the area.When I stayed at the Sand Trap back in 2001-2002 Billy and his son were nothing but the best to me & the 8 other guys I will stop in to his new venture when I'm in the area in late Sept.

I have been looking every day at this thread trying to soak up as much info prior to my first trip in December to Black Beards, (more of a Thailand man myself)

But after reading the reports on here I'm jumping into The D.R. with both feet.
There has been no movement on this thread for so long I'm a bit worried.

Any new talent at BB's?

Any three hole girls there?

How are the new Mamasans?

Any specific reviews of the girls pictured on the last BB newsletter?

...my first trip in December to Black Beards.

Any new talent at BB's?


If it's your first trip, why are you concerned about "new" talent? They will all be new to you.

The latest reports here and elsewhere suggest that Blackbeards is going through a good phase at present so you should enjoy yourself.

Also, why is your post headed "POP town"? POP is the airport and is far nearer to Sosúa than Puerto Plata. Blackbeards is in Costambar, a few miles out of town and the other side of Puerto Plata.

I live in Puerto Plata and I like it here, but unless you are on a longer visit (say more than a week) I would suggest you spend your time in Blackbeards and forget about the city.

I just wanted to maybe get a little dialog going on this thread, been dormant to long. that said If a person wants to know something about this town your posts ae the ones to read. Also I think POP is a great name for a monger town.

I'll be there for 14 days in December and really want to see some DR Pro baseball...any tips

You will find the winter league schedule here:

http://www.lidom.com/

Take a chica to the game with you. The chicas love going to the games.

You can catch the games in Santiago or you can spend a weekend in Santo Domingo and catch several games over the weekend. Santo Domingo stadium has two teams which use the stadium as their home field, so you have twice as many games per week.

Any specific reviews of the girls pictured on the last BB newsletter?

1. There is a rate of turnover, based on girls departing for various reasons, leaving a vacancy for a long list of applicants.

2. Yes, but not all, so you need to ask the chica, -or recommendations from the mamasan to save time. (Damn, good thing I speak Spanish, cause I'd have a helluva time asking for the best 3-holer she has).

3. Have not heard any complaints, but there has been some changeover here as well.

4. Reviews? As stated, lots of new faces.
In first pic in latest newletter update, 2nd girl from left is Miel, an experienced little spinner (some say freak) with good oral skills. She is also 2nd from the left in polka dot bikini in the 4x bikini pics.

In the little trio-photo on the left, the one on the right in the "I heart boys" shirt is Olga, short, dark, very accommodating and enthusiastic, aims to please. Never a disappointment.

The girl in the bikini, posing against the sunset mural is Yohanny, who is, on a scale of 1 to 10, an 11. Great performer, and a real sweetheart too.

Suerte,

I just wanted to maybe get a little dialog going on this [Puerto Plata] thread, been dormant to long.
I am afraid that's because Puerto Plata is dormant, at least as a mongering centre.

Cristal is the only main attraction left and that is only for guys with fat wallets. Field of Dreams is closed at present and will be re-opening to members only. El Chakerero (a useful "second tier" w h o r ebar has recently gone for good). Not a lot left.

People who live there like me and have time to build up contacts do alright (I actually prefer living here to living in Sosúa) but guys on a short trip could waste too much precious holiday time hunting round for diamonds in the rough so they are better off at Blackbeards or Sosúa.

Last week an experienced monger said he wanted to see typical local w h o r ebars for Dominicans. He endured the first one for ten minutes then fled. He had four criticisms. The bar was:
1) Too noisy (the more deafening and distorting the sound system the more Dominican seem to like it)
2) Too hot and humid (electricity is expensive here and aircon would add 3 pesos to the price of a grande so not a priority)
3) Too many "menacing" characters (newsflash - there are dark-skinned men in the DR and one of them might even (shock/horror) brush against you in a crowded bar)
4) Too many fat ugly chicas (Dominicans like them fat, and if fat enough they don't care if they are ugly)

The guy just defined a Dominican local w h o r ebar. I have had a lot of fun in them and found the occasional nice chica, but not everyone is as weird as me.

Just to point out for the benefit of newbies that the "Sand Trap Inn", which Billy started, soon afterwards became "Barba Negra (Blackbeards)." Guys may have differening opinions about Billy nowadays but there is no denying his place in the North Coast Mongering Hall of Fame.CP,

Agreed that Billy L has some controversy, but he always was a nice guy willing to give out information and actually took time to show newbies around PP. I had emailed him years back (2002) and he told me he was gone from "SandTrap" but encouraged me to come to Costambar at the new name "Girls Trap Inn". He told me I would have a good time even though he wasn't involved anymore, and if he could he would stop by to say hello and take me out to some Maelcon clubs. When I did meet up with him he was true to his word. The PP mongering community should probably give him a lifetime acheivment award.

Cristal is the only main attraction left and that is only for guys with fat wallets.

I hear that, I went with my buddy in July to Cristals they wouldn't break large bills and the barmaid demanded her tip after every drink she gave us, that was a big turn off. I took a cab from Blackbeard's there we stayed about two hours, The girls were fine but wanted big dollars. Just stuck with a few lap dances. Not breaking change really pissed us off, we probably would have given them most of our money anyway but more slowly at our pace, I aint tipping no chicas $500 or $1000 Pesos for lap dances.

When we were leaving a guy came up to us and said our driver had to leave and we could go with him in his cab, I told him no thanks, we went outside and lo and behold there was our driver waiting for us. Always keep up your radar. Was this going to be a setup I dont know but I am glad I didn't find out.

Hey guys,

I have been reading up on this thread and checking out the Newsletters from Blackbeards. It seems to be a much better bet than these other all-in resorts, as you can just chose to spend an hour or whatever time you like with a lady when you feel like it. So rooms are not expensive, it gets great reviews, there's other things to do there aside from the chicas, and an hour with a chica will cost you what, around $ 40 ?

This place seems too good to be true, somebody please tell me what is the catch, before I book a week or two at the place ! Are all the ladies featured in the group photos on the newsletter available for sex, and the ones in the bikini contest too ? Either the place is packed out with obnoxious gringo's like me, or you can only have the ugly ladies, or the gorgeous one's will just take your money and take you for a ride, surely it cannot be as amazing as it appears ?? Somebody please enlighten me !

I don't think you can expect to see all the chicas in the Newsletter. They probably pick the best out of recent months who are willing to appear online. But I wouldn't call that a catch. It is normal practice for any sort of promotion.

As to whether it is "too good to be true". That depends if this will be your first visit to the DR and whether you are comparing with prices in your own first-world country? If so, you might find that it is the DR in general that is "too good to be true" rather than Blackbeards in particular.

Your decision then is whether you can get the best bang for your buck at Blackbeards or elsewhere and we are all different.

I would say that for a first-time visitor, with little or no Spanish, Blackbeards is hard to better as an introduction to the DR. Whether you will continue to stay there for your second (.... nth) trip is another matter. Many do. Others move on elsewhere (Sosúa, Santiago, the Capital, or wherever).

"Packed out with obnoxious gringos" like yourself (and most of the rest of us)? For sure! But there are enough chicas to go around even if your first and second choices might not be immediately (if ever) available.

The only "catch" (although it is not fair to call it that) is that you are paying a small premium for the convenience and security of having it all on campus. And after your first (or tenth) trip you may tire of "shooting fish in a barrel". But a first visit there is sure to be enjoyable.

All the companions are available for sex except that at Blackbeards (unlike many establishments in the DR) the office and bar staff are not.

If you have not visited the DR before you will be pleasantly surprised at how many women you come across in shops, bars, restaurants, offices, or just plain walking down the street, are available for sex. But adequate Spanish (or Kreyol in my case) and a feel for how things work here are required before you go down that route if you don't want to end up in jail or hospital.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your fast and detailed reply. It makes sense that not all the ladies in the brochure are around right now, when I was a teenager I was always dissapointed that when going to typical tourist hotels, they weren't full of gorgeous ladies like in the brochure ! That is reality I suppose.

What is the atmosphere like there, is there any pressure, ie would you have to buy them overpriced drinks etc before taking them to your room ? How much do the girls charge at Blackbeards, is there a standard price, can you take a chick just for an hour ? Say I decide to stay for week, but don't fancy many of the ladies and do my own thing, will that be cool or will I get a hard time for it ?

If you only have to pay for the room, and the price is reasonable, then I don't see how you are paying a premium if you pay for the sex separately ?

Just to put myself in context, I speak pretty good spanish, and have been to south America, ie Argentina, Brazil etc a total of about 8 times, so maybe I will actually be quite hard to be impressed ! I've been to the DR before, though only for a week 10 years ago. I can't say I found it too good to be true, though I was mainly only in downtown Santa Domingo, the Jaragua casino, and a pretty impressive club behind it. About what you said about easy pickings with average ladies working in shops etc, I never really found that. 10 years ago when I was in the DR I was better looking and obviously younger than I am now, and found it hard to catch their eyes, and I was trying ! Having said that, maybe the chicks there are more forward now than they were back in 2000 ? I am also much more of a mongerer than I was then, so to speak.

Maybe it would be good to come to Blackbeards for a week to see if I like the place to begin with, what do you think ?

Coupe66, I apologise for my incorrect assumptions about you. But if you are an experienced monger in Latin America I wonder why you find Blackbeards product offer so hard to accept at face value. You must be used to chicas of similar quality at similar prices.

With fluent Spanish you certainly don't need Blackbeards. You will do well anywhere. But that doesn't mean you won't have a great time there.

By "premium" I meant that the rooms, the food, the bar, and the chicas are all a little more expensive than their equivalents outside Blackbeards. But not by much, and for many guys who lack the Spanish, or the time, or the confidence to find their own chicas that little extra is money well spent. It is not a rip-off like some of these all-inclusive sex holidays.

Yes, chicas may pressure you to buy them drinks and other stuff but you just have to be firm and polite. I think investing in one round of drinks to "get a feel" for the chica before you commit to taking her is not money wasted. If you get really hassled (unlikely, unless you have "pendejo" tattooed across your forehead) a brief word with the mamasan will soon put a stop to that.

There are fixed prices. Other guys here can comment on how that works. I spent two weeks at Blackbeards on my first trip to the DR five years ago. I fell in love with the country then and have since moved here for good but I did not stay at Blackbeards on any of my subsequent eight holidays (I preferred the late lamented Field of Dreams) so I am far from an expert on the place.

There are lots of recent reports of Blackbeards on this board. Everyone has different views but collectively they give a consensus view which is favorable. Read them before you commit.

As to picking up locals, I am seventy years old, bald, bespectacled, and look like a decomposing turnip, and my Spanish is very basic, but I do all right. It is all a question of confidence, which will more than compensate for your ten years ageing since your last visit.

Anyway, while the chicas would obviously prefer a young guy to an old fart like me, youth is not at the top of their priorities as it would be in a First World country. They value kindness, reliability, respect, and the ability to make them laugh even more. (Obviously the pesos come first whether we are old or young). I cannot even dance. If you can bachata, salsa or merengue you will be home and dry.

Its a great place. Especially if you just want to relax and have plenty of women. Its real easy going . I rarely stay there anymore but I do still stop in and have a drink and say hello. Go you will not regret it.

What! You surprise me, Charles. I find being able to dance a bit is as useful as knowing a few Spanish phrases when it comes to impressing the chicas. They love to dance and can dance as soon as they can walk. Anyway, you still appear pretty sucessful in spite of not being able to dance.

I agree dancing is a definite plus but so is a little Spanish. Therefore one of the first things I learned to say was "Yo no puede bailar. Lo seinto". They laugh and accept my old white man dancing.

BB's is a fun place. I spent a day last trip and plan on spending four days this trip before Sosua and SD. I kind of like the laid back atmosphere and not having to hunt so to speak so I want to try a couple more days this trip.

I have been familiar with BlackBeard's since 2005, and its as advertised.
No frauds that I have ever seen. Regarding pics, they take pics of bikini contests, parties, etc, but the girls are all real, no models hired. (Example, the Oxygen ad shows a picture of Jessica Cediel, a Colombian model and tv personality. Have no illusions she has any connection to the resort).

Obnoxious gringos? Hell, yes. Sometimes there are, and sometimes there are guys who can act like adult males, not loud fools.
Regarding chicas, all are available, but the "early bird gets the worm" and an in-demand chica gets her "dance card" filled fast, so if you snooze, you lose. That said, tastes vary, so there are always attractive girls available.
If the girl you want is already 'booked" ask her to make a date for later that day, or the next day.

No fraud or theft on the girls' part, because that would get them the door, and they prefer the atmosphere at BB, because its safer for them too. The alternative is the streets, etc, where work is more sparse and more dangerous. You are protected as the girls are not thieves, no drugs, monthly medical checks, and a person to assist you and complain to if necessary. None of that on the streets of Sosua.

The girls are the attraction. The hotel makes its money from accommodations and the bar/restaurant. If anyone ever complains, its usually about the cost of a beer. That said, the food is good and reasonably priced.

Some get bored with the experience, and true, if you have Spanish and experience, you can find women elsewhere, but for efficient use of time and quality control, I think its a very good deal.

And no, I don't have any connection with the place.
As a matter of fact, regulars to this site know I had a brief, public disagreement with the owner, but that's ancient history.

For newbies to the DR, or for guys with limited time to troll for women, its a good choice.

Darn that Rosetta Stone. You learn the words but not always how to us them correctly. A friend of mine fluent in Spanish told me that I should use puedo when speaking about myself and puede when speaking to a person about how they can not do something.

So basically as I understand it:

no puede bailar = can not dance. so maybe "Tu no puede bailar" = You can not dance.

no puedo bailar = I can not dance. So maybe I should say "Yo tengo los dos pie izquierda y no puedo bailar."

I guess in this case one letter makes a big difference.

Some of you guys with Spanish skills should help us that are trying to learn Spanish with the some of the lines you use on the chicas. I tried "Ti no huele mal para una mujer gorda" but that got me nowhere :-)

I would use "puedo" referring to myself.
or: No se ( ) = I don't know how to ( )
You can't dance = Tu no puedes bailar or:
You don't know how to (dance) = Tu no sabes (bailar)
(substitute whatever verb is appropriate)

"Puede"?
Maybe as "One can't ( )" = Uno no puede ( )
or "No se puede" = It's not possible.

or better yet: Puedes enseñarme bailar? = Can you teach me to dance?

On this subject, flattery and compliments (piropos) are cheap, but in Latin culture are much appreciated and very effective.

Que linda/bella eres! = How pretty/beautiful you are!
(kay leenda/bay-jah air-ess!)

Tienes ....ojos bellos/un cuerpo bello! = You have beautiful eyes/a beautiful body.

I have been familiar with BlackBeard's since 2005, and its as advertised.
No frauds that I have ever seen. Regarding pics, they take pics of bikini contests, parties, etc, but the girls are all real, no models hired. (Example, the Oxygen ad shows a picture of Jessica Cediel, a Colombian model and tv personality. Have no illusions she has any connection to the resort).

Obnoxious gringos? Hell, yes. Sometimes there are, and sometimes there are guys who can act like adult males, not loud fools.
Regarding chicas, all are available, but the "early bird gets the worm" and an in-demand chica gets her "dance card" filled fast, so if you snooze, you lose. That said, tastes vary, so there are always attractive girls available.
If the girl you want is already 'booked" ask her to make a date for later that day, or the next day.

No fraud or theft on the girls' part, because that would get them the door, and they prefer the atmosphere at BB, because its safer for them too. The alternative is the streets, etc, where work is more sparse and more dangerous. You are protected as the girls are not thieves, no drugs, monthly medical checks, and a person to assist you and complain to if necessary. None of that on the streets of Sosua.

The girls are the attraction. The hotel makes its money from accommodations and the bar/restaurant. If anyone ever complains, its usually about the cost of a beer. That said, the food is good and reasonably priced.

Some get bored with the experience, and true, if you have Spanish and experience, you can find women elsewhere, but for efficient use of time and quality control, I think its a very good deal.

And no, I don't have any connection with the place.
As a matter of fact, regulars to this site know I had a brief, public disagreement with the owner, but that's ancient history.

For newbies to the DR, or for guys with limited time to troll for women, its a good choice.

As long as I mentioned Jessica Cediel in my previous post, thought you guys might like to see the face with the name.

For me it is just another opportunity to learn a little more.I'm taking private Spanish lessons in the city I live on Mondays and Wednesdays. Before I had the ipod with phrase's, the bootleg Rosetta Stone from Lionel(the Haitian guy) in Sosua, and the phone with the spanish verbs. Basic fast Spanish. I had a good vocabullary but something was missing. As my instructor said it was "cave man talk" she said I need structure.

So after paying in advance I was not happy when she started with the alphabet, then the masculine and feminine definitive article, then stressing certain parts of words, and basic nouns and adjectives and their plural forms. She called it "element's of a sentence". But now I get it. It's like building something, you can't start in the middle. Putting the adjective behind the noun(in english adjective goes before the noun), using the masculine or feminine form, definite or indefinite article and it' plural form, and making the adjective match the gender form noun. Sounds very basic to most but without this are you really speaking spanish?

What I'm saying is while you are growing your voabullary, sneak back and also learn the basics if your serious about Spanish. Women like the fact that you took time to learn the right structure.

And to keep this Puerto Plata related, there is a school by the casino.
I wouldn't waste your time or money on attending a Dominican school.

I was conned into joining a beginners class in Puerto Plata with a couple of friends. We were "honored" to be taught by the school's director (he owns two more locally) as we were "influential foreign guests". My Spanish is rudimentary but within the first twenty minutes I realised that he was incapable of spelling even the most simple Spanish words ("serca", "lehos").

His strategy with accents was to write all the text, step back from the whiteboard for a few seconds, then sprinkle accents at random, like pepper over his soup. Occasionally one landed in the right place but most did not. He constantly referred to the Present Tense as the Past, which confused the hell out of my more pedantic friends, denied the existence of a Subjunctive Mood in Spanish (although it is used far more than in English and he had just used it himself in error, which raised the issue).

Out of each hour class he wasted at least twenty minutes rambling on about the past glories of Puerto Plata when the tourist trade made him a "rich man", including persistent hints to invest in one or other of his crackpot schemes for reviving the city. And this was one of the more reputable schools, charging 500 pesos an hour.

Dominicans are as good at teaching Spanish as they are at everything else apart from dancing, thieving and fucking, i.e. totally useless.

Your time and money would be far better spent with a reputable grammar book, a decent-size dictionary and some downloaded audio lessons for the accent (there are many available online).

Haven't tried Rosetta Stone, but I've used other PC-based items and I found the audio CD-based courses were actually better for my learning style. I was commuting an hour each way to work, by car, at the time I was using them; so I could sit there and drive and babble to myself.

The one I liked best is the Penton "Spanish 24" CD set. This course beats Spanish grammar to death, which is what I liked about it. By the time I'd gotten through the set, I had verb tenses and sentence structure ground into my very soul.

Of course, no self-study course can "do it all" for you. By the time you get through this one, though, you should be quite ready for basic-to-intermediate conversational Spanish with the 'long-haired dictionaries' we keep on hiring for their other charms....:D

I used Penton's Learn In Your Car Spanish set and became fairly fluent in Spanish conversation after using it for about 6 months plus lots of practice with chicas. However I have recently discovered a new series of courses that I am actually using to learn another language now, which is called Rocket Languages. The courses are $99 and are online, but you can download the verbal lessons onto a computer or mp3 player to play in your car.

I really think their method is excellent and combines all the best aspects of the other courses like Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone at a very reasonable price. There are conversation lessons, grammar lessons, and a variety of other aids for learning vocabulary including games that you can download onto your computer, plus end of lesson quizzes with multiple choice questions--so it comes at the language from a bunch of different angles. I am very impressed, and you can also join the online community for your course and suggest possible improvements to the course, which is something sorely missing with other courses.

If your register a user name and e-mail address you can get 6 free lessons to get an idea of what it is like.

The company is based in New Zealand and was started by the proverbial two guys in a garage with no start up money.

I don't get any commission from them.

I am no expert in Spanish, from what I understand:

When you are referring to yourself as in I (yo), the verb ends in "o". Yo hablo (I speak), tu hablas (you speak); yo bailo (I dance), tu bailas (you dance); Yo puedo (I can), tu puedes (you can); yo tengo (I have), tu tienes (you have).

Masculine nouns usually end in "o" female nouns in "a": Amigo (male friend), Amiga (female friend); Chico (boy), Chica (girl).

I learned just about all of my Spanish from chatting with chicas in msn messenger. When they type something I don't understand, I copy what they wrote and paste it into google translate and it is translated into English.

Some chicas write slang, google will not translate slang or words spelled the way they sound. vuelves = return, some chicas will write buelves (incorrect) because the "v" sounds like a "b".

Tu eres hermosa=You are beautiful

Tu eres bonita= You are pretty

Te gusta sexo oral?= Do you like oral sex? many DR chicas will respond "me encanta" (they love it), the follow up question after asking about sexo oral is sin condon?=without a condom?

Cual es tu posicion favorita?= What is your favorite position?


Darn that Rosetta Stone. You learn the words but not always how to us them correctly. A friend of mine fluent in Spanish told me that I should use puedo when speaking about myself and puede when speaking to a person about how they can not do something.

So basically as I understand it:

no puede bailar = can not dance. so maybe "Tu no puede bailar" = You can not dance.

no puedo bailar = I can not dance. So maybe I should say "Yo tengo los dos pie izquierda y no puedo bailar."

I guess in this case one letter makes a big difference.

1. Any sucker that takes a ho'ish woman and tries to change her life around. Trying to turn a ho into a housewife.
2. A male who is always coming to the defense of a female whether she is right or wrong, pretty or ugly. Would say the moon is made of cheese if the female wanted him to.

Example: Man what's up with that fool falling in love with that same biatch we ran a train on? He ain't nothing but a Captain Save a Ho.

Origin: E-40, the rap artist, coined the phrase captain save a ho. Where a guy will take care of a gold digger, pay for everything, pay for goldie to get her nails done, hair done, get a cellular hooked up. the guy will be a sucker for the girl and take care of paying for her kids. He will come to the girls rescue like a superhero in attempt to get some play. Dine her and she will take advantage of him. He would actually say I will save a ho baby. I am here for you.

Cannot argue with any of that, although the second paragraph simply describes what has been know as a "sugar daddy" since the 1920s and maybe for some time before that, certainly long before the pestilence of rap music infected the world.

The problem comes when you try to put it into useful practical application.

Firstly, there are as many types of ho as there are of monger. If you define hos as women who offers sexual services in return for money or material assistance then you come close to including most married women in the world. Cynical members may say all women are hos or potential hos but then the word loses its usefulness.

The other problem is that the situation never applies to us, always to our friends, neighbours, and internet contacts. We and our girlfriends are always the exception. Yes, mine too! ;)

I am thinking of possibly the two most influential mongers over past decades on the North Coast, guys who did so much to get the "industry" up and running, and who are persistently scornful of Capt-Save-a Hos online and in conversation.

It appears that one bought a nice house (not a celular or even a pasola) for his girlfriend shortly before she dumped him for another gringo. Meanwhile he continues to tear a new ass on every newbie who helps his new "girlfriend" with the month's rent and label them as despicable Capt-Save-a-Hos.

The other is stuck with a novia who has contributed majorly to two of his businesses failing over the past few years as well as doing him other major damage. But he continues to defend her loyally and would be deeply insulted to be called a Capt-Save-a Ho.

If that is the situation for these two guys, both highly intelligent and vastly experienced on the DR, it is not straightforward to criticise others. We never really know the whole story. My advice is to "do you" and let others make their own mistakes, if indeed they are mistakes. These two guys claim they weren't, and who am I to know better?

As for me, is my girlfriend a w h o r e? Definitely.
Do I give her lots of money and material help? Yes.
Will I encourage and help her to train for some other career? In the future, probably yes.
Do I give a fuck if she sleeps with other guys. No, anymore than I would criticise a fishmonger for selling fish. It is what she does and, at present, all she has to sell.
Do I fuck other chicas? Yes.
Does she know or care? Yes, though I try not to rub her face in it. She claims to care but I think she doesn't really so long as the money-stream continues and I don't give her VD.

Do I feel like a Capt-Save-a-Ho? Not really. I consider she gives me a fair return for my investment in her and if that ever ceased to happen I would drop her like a stone. But if guys want to call me a Capt-Save-a-Ho, then be my guests. It wouldn't bother me the slightest. I do me. I am having a great life here in the DR and she plays her part in that.

p.s. I will not respond to any speculation as to the two guys mentioned and I suggest it would be better for this board if there were none. At present those who know them, already know the stories, and those who don't won't recognise them from my vague descriptions.

Sir Charles, I'm just a bit confused by your application of 'sugar daddy' to Helpmann's definition #2 of 'Captain Save-a-ho'. I've always believed that 'sugar daddy' refers to a wealthy gentleman who spends lots of money (the 'sugar') on his sweet young lovely, to keep her 'sweet'. An archetype can be found in the Playboy magazines of the Sixties and Seventies - Sugardaddy Bigbucks, the benefactor of Little Annie Fanny.

By your statements about your relationship with your 'favorita' at the bottom of your post, I'd venture to say you're being something of a sugar daddy to her. However, you obviously have your head on straight about it; and since you feel that you're 'getting a fair return for (your) investment,' I would rather congratulate you for the good life you're enjoying with her.

Yes, Blackbeards is a good place to stay but you are going to get off on the wrong foot with the chicas and the management.

Sure you can bring in your own chica from outside but she must have a Cedula. There shouldn't be any extra charge but you won't be very popular with the "resident" chicas. Why would you want to anyway? There will be plenty vieing for your attention, a dozen at least.

Bringing in your booze from outside is frowned apon by the management but if you want to "smuggle" in a bottle or two, yes there are places you can buy within walking distance. Anyway, who would want to spend time drinking in his room and miss out on all the chat with fellow mongers on the bar?

Strange post. People staying at Blackbeards pay a premium for the convenience of having chicas, food, booze, and the companionship of other mongers available on site. If you think you can find chicas who are better or cheaper than those supplied why would you want to stay there? You could stay in cheaper places where there were no restrictions on bringing in booze and no surly looks from the resident chicas.

I can see the point of buying your own booze as there would be a considerable saving over bar prices if you bought it in a supermarket but this is against the rules there. If you are an alcoholic whose idea of a good time is drinking secretly alone in your room then you will save a lot of money but, again, you could find cheaper hotels to do this.

10-08-10, 08:44
Further to my post below, I don't want to suggest that there are no such things as Capt Save-a-Hos. There are thousands of them active in the DR alone, and a similar situation exists in every mongering location (Thailand being notorious for them).

The classic case is this:

Newbie arrives on holiday. Local puta uses her professional charms to make him fall for her. She convinces him that she hates working as a puta (true enough in most cases) and if he supports her financially she will take an "honest" but lower-paid job, return home to her decent and upright family, study to be a brain surgeon, or whatever story she thinks he will fall for.

Newbie returns to his own land and sends her (usually quite modest) sums of money (typically by Western Union) on the understanding that she gives up whoring. (She asks for affordable sums not to frighten him off and because she may be playing the same game with two, three, or twenty other guys).

Many of the girls genuinely believe their own sales pitch. They would like to get out of the trade. But very few do. The rest are pulled back in by their own character weaknesses, drug habits, debt history or, most commonly of all, by exploitative local boyfriends ("chulos") or dependent families.

So far, only his problem. A fool and his money, etc.

The complications start when the guy seeks to check up on his girlfriend's activities, gets jealous when she finds she is fucking other guys and tries to "get back" at her or them. Which is why most chicas don't want their pictures on the internet. It may endanger their income. And if her chulo finds out someone is dangering his income, things can get unpleasantly physical.

Do Capt Save-a-Hos ever succeed? Very occasionally. I know a gringo who "bought" a young puta out of the brothel/bar where she was working. A year later they are living happily in a quasi-marital setup and I don't think for one moment she is fucking other guys. But that is very rare and only worked in this case because she is a sweet girl who had only been in the game for a few days and (most important) because the guy is permanently resident here. Would she stay faithful if the guy went abroad for an extended period? I would hope so, but young women have their needs and the pull of family is immensely strong here.

How many of the above criteria need to change for a guy not to be a Capt? In my case, for example, I live here permanently, I know where my girlfriend is almost every hour of every day, and I couldn't care less (or as Americans say, I could care less) whether she is fucking other guys for money.

Is there any liquor store around so I can buy my own liquor to stock my room? How many girls are there at black beard at one shift?

ThanksBringing an outside chica to Blackbeard's would strike me as kinda like bringing an Egg McMuffin to a brunch buffet. I don't know if they charge for you to bring in outside girls, because I didn't do it myself; the only place in POP where I saw 'rent-a-chicas' who looked better than those at Blackbeards was Cristal's. (I looked but left, as Cristal's is much higher priced than Blackbeard's in that respect.)

Outside booze is frowned-upon at Blackbeard's for the same reason that any bar or restaurant would frown upon it. Not only the owner and the managers, but the bar staff and wait staff are there to make a living. That doesn't keep you from putting a six-pack of Presidentes in your fridge, but common decency would keep me from bringing 'em down to the bar.

How many girls per shift? That may vary with how many of us are booked into the hotel. On my one visit (June), the only time I saw a shortage of chicas would have been from wakey-wakey time till about noon. I'm sure they can call in reinforcements if they need them. What - me worry?

I'll be down there in two weeks so I can provide fresh intelligence ...

Hope this helps,

Yes you can bring in an outside chica (I am assuming you are not bringing your wife and some do) and no there is not a charge. Yes she MUST have an ID. NO you will NOT make the resident chicas happy and they will make your date feel less than welcome.

BB's is a buffet with LOTS of items to chose from. Why bring your own entertainment with you? Its like taking sand to the beach. I went to BB's alone the first time. I knew no one and spoke NO spanish and I had the experience of a life time. I have returned so many times now I have lost count. Best of luck and enjoy!

So to explore this a bit more, by this and other definitions/examples, is there really anything to differentiate the terms "Captain Save-a-Ho", "Sugar Daddy" and possibly "Western Union Novio" besides possibly semantics???

Any comments?
Well, you can add 'Señor ATM' and 'pulling caballo', and I once added 'Bank of Westy', but that pretty much covers it. :D

Hi,

I am going to purto plata first time, and hear blackbeard is good place to stay. Question is if I can also bring chicas from outsdide for all nighter? There is any charge? Is there any liquor store around so I can buy my own liquor to stock my room? How many girls are there at black beard at one shift?

ThanksEveryone I think answered most of your questions. But, I wanted to make sure you understood that BB is not in Puerto Plata, it is in costambar which is about 30-40 minutes drive away from PP. Costambar is isolated so if you are looking to hang out in Puerto Plata make sure you got transportation.

Good point Lopkx, but you way exaggerate the distance and difficulty of getting in and out.

I did Blackbeards to the centre of Puerto Plata (La Pulga) tonight by motoconcho in 12 minutes (120 pesos). I hadn't felt great all day and didn't want to hang around for a publico otherwise I would have taken the J-C publico (same way I arrived there) which is cheaper (30 pesos) and safer. Didn't try to haggle with the motoconchista as he seemed reluctant to leave his local patch so I was happy he agreed to take me.

Try to avoid using the regular Costambar private taxis as they are notorious rip-off merchants. These are the ones reception will call up for you but I guess Barba Negra get a cut. Guys have posted some useful alternative taxi numbers here for those staying at Blackbeards, to be used with discretion. Drivers have been killed in this country for trying to breach taxi cartels.

The roads are terrible in Costambar. I am sure you can do 15 minutes or whatever with Motoconcho but you will never catch me on one. That is the surest way to increase your chances of death or major injury. At least in a car you have metal for protection in an accident. I know one chica who's leg is scared for life by the heat from the hot motorcycle muffler damaged. Guess what motoconcho have no insurance. I am surprised, no insurance. LOL!

i agree motoconchos are dangerous and would never persuade someone to take one who is of a nervous disposition. a friend of mine pays them double to go at half the speed, which improves his odds quite a bit, and is still peanuts compared to a private car or taxi.

if motoconchos bother you, take the j-c publico for 30 pesos. still only 18 minutes (tops) to central puerto plata plus whatever time you have to wait for one (0 - 15 minutes).

obviously renting a car becomes more viable if either:
1) you have a group of guys to share, or
2) you have to visit various places not easily accessible by public transport during your stay. but that might apply to one in a thousand blackbeard guests, and anyway we were only discussing getting into puerto plata and back.

not sure when you were last in costambar but i noticed a big improvement in the road in last night (via the university entrada). whether that improvement will survive the next tropical storm is another matter.

Since you brought it up and always have valuable info to the board, Do you have info on avoiding the 45 dollar POP cab scam to BB's without renting a car. In all my trips I have never been able to avoid it, even using other drivers I use once down there...of course by now I realize the cabs have tight control over POP..but man dropping 90 bucks back and forth to the airport if going solo really adds unnecessary fees to the trip.

Love Bite, yes you can bring outside girls. I usually do it once if down for 6 or 7 nights. I come in late and have them leave early by design. Remember one important thing, especially if your new, reputation matters at BB's if you want to have the best time. Hard to believe in a place like that but very true.

Doker is quite right on this point. As silly as it sounds, you get a reputation at BBs very quickly. The best one to get is to be a nice guy, fair with the girls and not a "push over".

The worst ones (in no particular order) are to be considered abusive to the chicas, or be a jerk, or being too much of a push over with the chicas (they label you as a sucker and it is hard to recover from that). Also if you "wife up" with one of the chicas on your first trip, the girl may try to put a "claim" on you for future trips and believe me, you don't want that.

PS: Anything about saving on taxi trips is welcome by me also. I have rented a car since my second trip with no accidents, but I can't tell you how many close calls I have been in. In many ways I would rather let the driving to someone else, although I know I would miss the freedom of it all.

Jeez. I'm beginning to wonder if I ought to just forget about Blackbeard's - and Sosua, and the DomRep, and maybe mongering altogether.

I figure I'm a jerk to all chicas everywhere, especially non-pro but even pro. The only way I can see to offset this is to be a pushover - cf. the "pushover" who took a chica down to talk with Rosalba but went ahead and paid her anyways, saying also to Rosalba that "I don't want her to be penalized for this misunderstanding," then paid another chica her full price the next day after a "personal failure" on my part - even though she told me "Rosalba said this was to be a freebie if you didn't get it up with me." (And after that session ended, I got La Pela.)

Maybe I ought to just get out of the way, stay out of the way and let the rest of you get on with business. It seems to get to be more and more often that "it sucks to be me" ....

I am getting tired of reading all this about taxi cab costs and the danger of motoconchos etc. I like Ponderosa have rented a car the last 15 trips I have taken to the DR with my worst problem being one flat tire. Hint: don't be a timid driver. The cost is less than $30 per day and you have the freedom to go anywhere you like and take the chicas around who are happy to be your guide as well. I have been to fascinating places in the countryside, down the coast, and in the mountains that many gringos do not experience.

I am going down to BB on Nov 19 for 5 nights. Anyone else going around that time? My favorites there are Kirsia, Maria Isabel, Yojanny, Josefina, Alice and an outside girl (ex FOD) named Vanesa. I also like to try new ones each time. Anyone got any recent recommendations?

On the subject of reputation, I submit a good one at BBs pays handsome rewards. Moderately generous, consistent but firm is the trick. I have a good reputation with the BB girls and get spectacular service in and out of bed above and beyond what would be considered normal. This is possible when the girls know and trust you and believe me they talk among themselves about all the clients.

I will be at BB for four days beginning Nov 21. Hope to see you there.

I to will have a car since I will be flying into SD and spending 14 days. I thought about public transportation but the trip just didn't work without a car and I want to see more than BB and Sosua. The tail end of my trip will be with my favorita at an AI near La Romana.

I plan on spending a few days at the Terra Linda after leaving BB. I know they have a small amount of parking in front of the hotel. But I was wondering if anyone might have some ideas on a more secure place to park while in Sosua.

Thanks

In my opinion the subject is a critical one and should be continually debated as the consequences are significant when, NOT IF, you get in an accident if you drive here. Your day will come trust me. I hope you continue to read the posts because even though you may be the worlds best driver the locals drive like assholes and chances are you will technically not be at fault, that doesn't mean shit, you WILL be at fault in the police' eyes and then the fun will begin.

That being said, my advise to anyone that drives in the DR is to read as much as possible any advise or reports written on this subject on this board.

Planning my first trip back to the DR after a 3 year hiatus. My last visits were to Santo Domingo. This time around I am interested in sampling the bar scene in Sosua and Blackbeards . . . and maybe other Puerto Plata options. Would like to spend 5 days at BB and 10 days in Sosua. I will most likely fly into & out of POP airport. I would like to ask some veterans which is the best way in fitting the 2 locations in one smooth flowing vacation (and the related costs). Should I go to BB first or Sosua first? What is the best & least expensive way to get between BB & Sosua (ie. New Garden)? I can get by with my Spanish. My regular destinations have been Brazil, Medellin, Lima & SEA.

I would go to BB first, because I think it would be difficult to go from the free ranging atmosphere of Sosua to the more confined BB. But it would be OK to go to BB to find your feet in the DR, then move on to Sosua later on.

The least expensive way to get between BB and Sosua is to make friends with a local expatriate who has a car. About 2-3 Presidentes.

Public (shared) taxis are cheap--just a couple of US dollars for the trip from BB to Sosua if you walk up to the highway and don't mind sharing the front seat of a Corolla with a fat woman you have never met, or paying double to get the whole seat for yourself.

At BB they will have phone numbers for cabs that can be called out from Puerto Plata. I used to use one called Techi Taxi (I think) and you can negotiate fares. Cars are kind of old and beat up.

Then you can call one of the local Costambar taxi operators or charter a helicopter. Both about the same price.

here is the thing. my last stay in dr was exactly 10 years ago, and i've never been to pop anyway, so i'm not up to speed. i'm staying at lifestyle in cofresi in the mid dec (don't ask, i'm not proud of this:). i have to spend the nights inside, but might have some freedom during the day. i presume the bb would not rent rooms by an hour? what other least wasteful options (timewise) do i have in the area? thanks in advance.

You are fortunate that there are numerous cabañas (short-stay hotels designed for sexual liaisons) along the main road from Cofresí to Puerto Plata. These are all clean, comfortable and discreet, some, like the new La Roka (nearest to Puerto Plata) are almost luxurious. They will charge you 400 to 600 pesos for 3 or 4 hours stay. They provide light meals and drinks at reasonable prices and also all your sexual needs (condoms, lube, etc).

I don't think Blackbeards rents rooms short-time but I am sure one of their regular guests can confirm that or otherwise.

Your best bet is to make an early trip to Puerto Plata and collect as many numbers as possible for chicas to meet you at the cabaña of your choice (or if time allows at a nearby bar so you can screen them for a second time before committing). You can call the girls to you on succeeding days. If time is short, remember that local chicas typically arrive 30 or 60 minutes late and allow for that.

You can take girls out of Blackbeards but it is expensive, especially after adding the cabaña fee on top.

I am sure the staff at Lifestyles can find chicas for you too but I hate relying on someone else's judgment and, again, they will add on a large premium.

Don't let the girls screw you for taxi fees. They get about on public transport in their private lives and they can do the same for you.

Basically, by staying at Lifestyles you are f*cked as far as mongering is concerned. Anything you want to do will be inconvenient and expensive, though not impossible.

confresi is located on the west end of the "greater" puerto plata area of the north coast, also known as the amber coast (from which costambar got its name). towns, larger and smaller, from west to east are confresi, costambar, puerto plata itself, the playa dorada complex, pop airport, sosua and finally cabarete.

you will be located less than 10 minutes from bbs and about 45 or more minutes from sosua. i am assuming you have done some homework on the places and availability of chicas in all the areas i have described above.

bbs can provide short time accomadations, but only based on availability. there is a 800 peso "salida" or exit fee to take a chica off site and prices for her services should be negotiated before leaving the property. the chicas are not bound to bbs pricing when taken out of the compound. there are multiple cabana's (short term hotels) between confresi and costambar. hollywood, sensations and la roca are a few of the cabanas lining the main road connecting all the cities i mentioned above. they are very discrete and the chicas can assist you with them. there will be chicas available at bbs from very early afternoon to later evening.

cristals strip club/wh*rehouse is located in puerto plata itself, closer to the playa dorada complex, has chicas and rooms onsite and is an evening option. be prepared to pay dearly and be groped for this option.

sosua really gets started well into the evening and there are short term rooms available. you can find some chicas walking around in the afternoon, or sitting at a bar, but the sosua action is really at the discos and much of that action does not start until 10pm or later. of coarse an advantage here is there is no salida as all the girls are independent contractors. another sosua venue is la passions. they have rooms on site, a menu with pricing for time, chica(s) and service. there is a smaller selection of chicas in the early afternoon and more are present as the day progresses. look further into the sosua thread, or ask questions there about la passions. they have a website http://lapassion-sosua.com/

it sounds like time is a constricting factor for you, and bbs or cristals might be your best bets.

enjoy yourself,

it is better to rent a car to go about and pick up the girls and take them to cabanas. otherwise it will be a hassle.
one girl i met in sosua took me to a cabana she was renting mainly because she did not have a i.d on her. i tried to get her into europa where i was staying but without i.d , they would not allow. i do not know why she does not have an i.d. really cute girl came from santiago to ply her trade.
i ended up staying in her cabana for the night and better part of next day. but i always rent a car, so transportation was not a problem. we did go out to disco, dinner and have fun. she dresses up very elegantly. she did look young but she said she is 18 years old. cabana was secluded and was very nice. food and drinks are served 24 hours. there is a revolving turn table on the wall. you actually do not see the person serving you. food and drinks are placed on the tray and there is a bill and you place the money and turn the table and change comes back the same way. very ingenious.
cabanas are cheap to stay. i believe maybe 600 pesos per day. most of these are on the main highway going from pp to santiago.

Ponderosa, thanks for the info. It's good to have Cabanas in the neighborhood. I love those fuck motels. Used them a lot in SDQ and Brazil.

I'm not really interested in burning money, so I don't wanna go to Crystal. I was considering using Mantour but I would need to be back at the resort before dark, so...

Sammon, I'm apprehensive on renting a car in DR, so transportation might be a problem for me. I did drive extensively in Costa Rica, but I remember Dominican-style driving made me nervous even 10 years ago. What are my options of getting between POP, cabanas and Confresi?

Charles, you mentioned making it early to POP and collecting some phone numbers. Like where? Do they have those bars open in the early afternoon, or did you mean girls on the street, then again would they be strolling there early in the day?

Thanks again, guys.

Also a couple of w h o r ebars in Imbert, a few miles in the other direction, with a nearby cabaña.

But as Roger confirms that Blackbeards do indeed rent rooms short-time that it clearly your best option considering your time-restraints. I recently visited Blackbeards and thought the selection was the best I have seen there in six years. But then I like flaca. If you are looking for thick chicas there were very few of those at Blackbeards.

You are wise not to self-drive in the DR unless really necessary. There is a steady stream of publicos (also known as carritos) which are shared taxis running along fixed routes, and guaguas (large or small buses) running along the main highway between Cofresí, past numerous cabanas, and Puerto Plata. In the daytime they are very frequent. Cheap, fast but can be crowded. If you are a big guy just buy two seats, it is still dirt cheap (I would guess Cofresí to Puerto Plata costs about 35 pesos).

But given your circumstances, anything other than Blackbeards looks like too much effort.


Charles, you mentioned making it early to POP and collecting some phone numbers. Like where? Do they have those bars open in the early afternoon, or did you mean girls on the street, then again would they be strolling there early in the day?

Sorry I was unclear. I meant early in your trip rather than early in the day. Yes there are a few Dominican bars open from midday but the chicas tend to be fat and ugly the way Dominicans like them. I would not advise trawling the streets in Puerto Plata. Street hookers here are usually the dregs.

You can pick up very nice chicas in shops, restaurants, etc, but this takes time and that is what you are short of.

Blackbeards is clearly the way to go if you don't want to pay Cristal or El Bohen prices (and who could blame you for that?).

I have driven in rental cars both in CR and DR. There is not much difference. With a car it gives you a freedom to pick up girls from wherever and take them to wherever. IMHO going to blackbeards is not good. Who wants to fuck worn out house *****s? Whole smorgasboard of available chicas are everywhere. some are very good looking and less mileage. With a car you have these options. Once you rent and drive you will get the hang of it and will like the freedom. Yes, things can happen . But in this mongering business you need to be brave.
You cannot talk the girl on the street in PP and expect them to be putas. In Sosua it is a different matter altogether. Every girl I met on the street is game. I just stop the car negotiate and she hops in. You can go to many casinoes, disco places where girls hang out and pick up. How are you going to do it by using public transport not to mention your chosen hotel is in the boonies. Besides public transport is not there during chosen hours of mongering night. Even the cabanas will rip you off if you walk in. Some cabanas are for drive in cars only at night.

Some good comments here but most of them not relevant to Xspartan's situation. He clearly doesn't have time to hunt and he can only get out during the day.

Also I find it ironic that you wouldn't fuck the chicas at Blackbeards (especially now most of the old-timers have been weeded out) but you are happy to pick chicas off the street in Sosúa.

I can confirm that all the cabañas are open by day. That is what they are designed for. "Respectable" Dominicans fucking their staff or students then going home to their families after work.

Fellas, thanks again. I feel much better now that I know I will get laid one way or another:) I think I'll try BB first, and if there is no vacancy, try Sosua next. I read the other thread, and those 2 places Passion and CMP do sound like fun.

Would be a privilege to buy any of you folks a drink if you are down there at the time. Cheers.

I have a trip to Haïti pencilled in for mid-December but if that falls through (quite possible for many reasons) I would be pleased to meet up with you at or near Lifestyles and show you how to get to Blackbeards/Puerto Plata/Sosúa by public transport. Of course if you are doing it all by private taxi you won't need me. And mine will be a water, thanks. In fact, make that a double!

Not that I don't wish you a great trip to Haiti, but should that fall through, let's make it a date.

HI,

Does anyone know if and where I could find cheap DVD's near Puerto Plata? Regular and porn.

Pirated copies are widely sold in the streets for 50 pesos. You wouldn't walk for ten minutes in any part of town without finding someone. Quality varies from barely adequate to "straight in the waste bin". For regular customers the guys will swap bad copies for something else without any hassle. Money back? Never.

I have read that Crystal's is expensive by Dominican standards. But is the premium price warranted? Are the chicks a step above the freelancers and BB regulars? How does this place work? Is it like another disco where you pick up the girl to go back to your place or action happens on site? Is there a salida? I have only been to SDQ like 5 years ago, so I don't know the pricing. If freelancers and BB chicas are 1000-1500 ST, how much is the Crystal's talent?

I don't mind paying a bit more if it matches the quality and performance.

i don't mind paying a bit more if it matches the quality and performance.my last time in crystals was $100 u.s. with rooms on site.it's set up like a typical strip club except when you went in all the girls surrounded us.we didn't make a selection at that time.the girls would rep001ter but all would stop by individually to say hola.imho the only difference in chicas is crystals girls wear much more makeup & perfume.much better pricing with equal or better quality available elsewhere

A few months ago Dominican Billy and I took a newbie to Cristal. After parking we saw that there was a swarm of girls ouside arguing with the doormen. We thought it was some sort of protest by independents and street hookers. Turned out it was the Cristal chicas refused entry to work because of some sort of safety issue inside (probably generator failure). We had a chat and laugh with them but as a group they looked nothing special without the Cristal "presentation".

I have been here long enough to have seen many Cristal girls in other bars and vice versa. They are not a breed apart.

El Bohen girls don't seem to circulate in the same way though. They ship them in from other areas (particularly Santiago) and they seem to gravitate back home once they finish at El Bohen. You see very few of them at Blackbeards or in Sosúa.

Last week I was with three mongers in the cafeteria at La Sirena. Two of them were enthusiastically chatting up a couple of girls at the next table (to who I had my back) and congratulating themselves on how easy it was to pick up non-working girls there. The third and more experienced monger immediately spotted that these were "club" girls and guessed Cristal. When I turned round I said "El Bohen" and I was right. There is something about the type of girl that club often goes for: pale-skinned, slim and anxious looking.

I thought I knew Puerto Plata pretty good but I am coming up blank for a place to watch the Giants-Cowboys game monday night and the Celtics-Heat game tuesday night. I have both games on the t.v. in the villa (both on ESPN)I am renting but the t.v. is a fucking joke about 20 inches. Any ideas would be great. As a last resort I will give my novia a few pesos and send her to visit her friends and I will walk over to BB's and watch them.

Who cares? You go to Blackbeards to get laid and they all do that!

Anyway, some do and you would find out who does soon enough.

Thanks for the tips about DVD's. I'll use them. I'll start at BB for 4 nights and then move to Sosua.

You could always watch it at BB's. I am not saying its the best spot but I watched many a game there.

It is kind of difficult for them to talk with your balls smacking their chin.

If you read my post you will have read that I said BB's was an option. I was looking for something different as I have spent way too much time at BB's (if that's possible haha).

Thanks for the suggestion Dodger but I called Gym Bar and they no longer have tv's at their bar. I did end up watching my Giants win last night at BB's.

Now if I could only find a place for tonight's Celtics ass-kicking of the over hyped Heat.
