I have smoked on several occasions with no issues. I have bought my own which can make you a little nervous but it is not hard to get there. The quality of weed there may not be better t hen here. Two ways to get it there. I usually get the girls to get it for me. So they buy it and transport. The other way is the motor couche guys especilly if they are haitians and if the girls are haitian they are more likely to smoke. Dominican do not seem to be into weed as much as the haitians The haitians girls are great in bed. Always get your monies worth. I think the set up crap is bs. However I am still very careful let the ladies get it for you. They know where to buy and want to make you happy. Having a buzz in classicos was awsome.The past few times spent at the Rumba Bar and El Flow, I've noticed a few chicas with a nose problem,
Acutally. Lets go about this a different way. As a business owner, if there is a problem, I want to fix it! Please. Please post pics of the girls you though were "too big". Also. Please post a picture of your ideal girl. No seriously! Please post a picture of what you believe is ideal. I would really honestly list to see that so I can compare to what I have and get a couple that would fit your taste. I aim to please! I want to have something here for everyone. Including you! Help me out here! This is an honest request. There is no problem that I can think of that I cannot fix. Let me fix this for you!Hello Sir and welcome to ISG. Here is a video I did of FOD back in June that maybe you missed. Also included is a lineup of the FOD bikini contest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvFcLxko6nQ&feature=youtu.be
Now here is a video of the BB girls and pics. You will see that All these girls are awsome. When I walk in FOD I find myself looking around for that gem. When I go to BB I say" they are all gems". Flat belys and nice asses. Even the big girls (check pic) from BB look fine. Thats the main difference to me. Both resorts are lovely. Both resorts have fair pricing. I wish FOD good luck but my advise would be to get people there, having that many rooms sitting empty won't help the resort survive. I would establish a VIP list of spenders that could travel on short notice. I would reach out to these spenders and offer free rooms for three days if they pay for 4. This way these spenders would help the bottom line by buying drinks, food and girls. Maybe an ISG special for the members. Whatever it took to get guys there. Its said when the owners out number the guests. Maria is a gem.

Guys. Seriously. You keep asking for pictures, and I keep posting them! Can you please tell me which ones have asses bigger than your car? I have never seen a car that small. Perhaps you could post a picture of your car? Do you need more pictures? I already have 2 posts below with pics. I will be happy to post more if you want!
I would never call you a liar. But I will post pictures (as requested below) and let everyone see the evidence for themselves.
Or better yet. Just tell us which one of the "competitors" you work for? Honestly we are not trying to "compete with anyone". Instead we really want to make our own identity. But with comments such as that, I can't help but wonder why you dislike us so much? There must be a good reason. Right? Maybe not.Hey Jessiejames, My name is Deepmmpactt, I planned on visiting Sosua in October. I really appreciate your 'Can Do'attitude. I've been to FOD it was Mustang Ranch, only when Leno (Cristals Mgr) , owned it. I've also spoken Alberto, that took it back from Leno. I've only said hello to Dominican Billy, once visiting The Mustang Ranch. All this talk back and forth, is starting to be a good thing. I didn't plan on it, but NOW I WANT TO VISIT YOUR PLACE! I would like to see the changes for myself. I'm hearing good things about your 'attentive service' I will expierience your establishment for myself. I may bring a few friends in October.
I hope your chicas aint big as my car, cause I drive a DODGE DURANGO SUV. LOL. I'm looking forward to saying hello. No, fellas you can be sure this aint a publicity stunt and I ABSOLUTELY, don't work for Field of Dreams! Theres no conspiracy going on here I just decided I have nothing to lose, just stopping by and saying hi, I hope to take a few pictures, if thats ok with you and post them myself. I look forward to seeing you guys in October sometime between the 24th and November 1st, I'm not sure what exact date, but I will come by. I'm sold at least from what your posting that you are honestly trying to run your business the way its suppose to run, by customer service. Peace!
I'm coming into town soon. Whats the best place to change money in PP? Don't want to go all the way to Yennys! Thanks!

I have been to the FOD about 20 times over the years under every one of it's different metamorphoses except the newest one, I hope to get there soon but my Paisa Colombianas keep pulling me back to the promised land.
Reading most of these posts are giving me a hard choice to make now. I want to go to BB this October on the 26th and now reading about the FOD, I want to go there now. This question is probably asked all the time but, what would be suitable for a first-timer.

I have been off the site for a couple of weeks and have now read all of the posts. Some of the posts were funny, Gogo had some good advice about discounts etc. For ISG members and a nice trip report or two. Gogo I do enjoy your youtube videos thank you.
I would now like to offer my opinion on FOD vs BB's and Sosua.
Eight years ago I found a great place called Black Beards. It instantly became my second home. At that time it was slowly (one room at a time) on its way up and John the owner was (is) working his ass off and spending money to constantly up grade the facility etc. For most of the time Tim was right there by his side. Each year the place grew, the food got better, the service got better, the rooms were improved, girls got hotter and better behaved, cost remained for the customer consistent. There was always some improvement that I noticed on every trip. BB's has, like a fine wine, gotten better with age. There is something and someone for every taste. Their business model works and they have managed to weather every storm to date. You have to tip your cap to them!
FOD is where BB's was eight years ago. It is developing / evolving each day into the business the owners believe will offer an amazing experience for both the seasoned veteran and the newbie. I and others have posted some comparisons to FOD's and BB's but they are at different stages of development. Having spent some time in July with the business partners I believe that they have a well thought out business plan with specific goals and a realistic timeline for full implementation and realization of those goals. I will say that they have an amazing energy level and it can be felt through the girls and the entire staff. I have said this before they understand that every employee (including the girls) has a part in the success of FOD's.
Sosua is and at least for now will be a place that many will not stray to far from. While many seasoned veterans remember a slightly different atmosphere in Sosua in the past it still has much to offer everyone and on every budget.
The beauty of the DR (besides the girls) is its diversity. There is something for us all. The like-minded people I have met on every trip of all different sizes, shapes, income levels and nationalities is amazing. Some of my closest friends are the ones I have met while in Sosua, Santo Domingo, Santiago, FOD's and BB's. Please keep the trip reports, pictures and videos coming as they help us all kill time until we can escape from reality of our real lives to our fantasy lives in the DR.

This question is probably asked all the time but, what would be suitable for a first-timer.Before you choose, check out several, on my first junket I didn't choose wisely and wound up dissappointed. I have been to several, done BB and FOD, and can't say anything bad about either but a couple of others were real shitholes. One you may want to consider as a newbie, is a smaller, private, all inclusive on Boca Chica Beach. I had given up on Boca Chica, but a friend recommended this on to me and I tried it and fell in love with it. For a newbie it is especially good, they give you a cell phone to use with a translator on the other end if you are out somewhere and can't make your girl understand what you want just ask Fiol to translate for you. There is also a number to the owner you can call 24/7. If you look at their website you will see they offer more than any other place out there and for less money. When I left the owner (American) was talking about giving a couple of hunderd bucks off to newbies. Oh I almost forgot about the toys, they must have over 5, ooo dollars in toys and furniture to play with and if you are in the middle of layin some pipe and want a beer, just call room service, I even got breakfast in bed. Service is my big thing and there it was the best ever. The other thing, if you do go there by chance, mention you were referred by Cal Hunt they also give referral points for free nights. But Wherever you go Enjoy and have a Blast. Almost forgot it's Club Fantasy Island.
Now here is a video of the BB girls and pics. You will see that All these girls are awsome. When I walk in FOD I find myself looking around for that gem. When I go to BB I say" they are all gems". Flat belys and nice asses. Even the big girls (check pic) from BB look fine. Thats the main difference to me. Both resorts are lovely. Both resorts have fair pricing.

With the ongoing debates about FOD and BB I thought I would post some videos and pics. With no one else responding maybe guys here just like debating.
I'll be in town for a four day weekend next week. I plan to stay at the Lomar. I'm going to walk in and negotiate a 4 night stay. Does anyone know what the locals pay? Also, can anyone recomend any inexpensive resturants in walking distance, or a short moto away? Thanks!

Also, can anyone recomend any inexpensive resturants in walking distance, or a short moto away? Thanks!Not sure of the prices at Lomar.
Close by are various "casetas" on the beach side of the malecon, some of which serve food."Big Lee's" is owned by an American guy. The caseta at the corner of Long Beach is very reasonable for food and has a "plato del dia" starting at 12:00 pm as well as some US type dishes. Has nice views of the ocean and beaches.
La Sirena supermarket has a cafeteria which is cheap, but not very good food (in my opinion). Each dish you select is weighed and you pay by weight. Great location, ocean views.
Rather better is the cafeteria at Tropical Supermarket, (almost behind La Sirena) that is good for lunches. Non alcoholic. Has carry out service. There is a restaurant also next door to Tropical where you can eat in or out. There are various Dominican diners or "comedors" all over the place, but the food is pretty much the same in all.
There is a pizza place on the Malecon near Lomar and various other places on the town side of the Malecon. None of them really stand out.
Dominican food is excellent if you cook yourself, since there is much excellent fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, etc. But Dominican restaurants tend to be basic and very unimaginative.
For a better quality meal, albeit more expensive, Portofino (Italian) at Long Beach is not bad (and there is a Dominican restaurant now called Grandmother's Hearth next door that is not too bad.)
There are a couple of bakeries, one next to the Isla gas station behind La Sirena that has some good baked snacks, pizza bread, cakes.

But Dominican restaurants tend to be basic and very unimaginative.That's because the Dominican public is basic and unimaginative. Dominicans of both sexes and all ages are very reluctant to try anything new even if they aren't paying. So long as they have their white rice with all the nutrition bleached out of it, their fart-inducing tinned beans, and their scraggy chicken parts fried in grease, they are happy, probably because they know they are getting more than the average Haitian.
Two good restaurants a five minute moto ride from Lomar are The Palms and Taste, both in Avenida Luis Ginebra, but they ain't cheap.
I live five minutes walk from the Lomar. Look me up when in town if you have time. We are brothers, after all.

frannie is correct, dominican food is very basic. i remember when i first started going to the north coast, girls would invite me by for dinner. i'm expected this fabulous meal, but i'm looking at beans, rice, and chicken. i soon stopped expecting anything different.
now cuban food is magical. there is this older cuban guy that has a restaurant here in florda that is great. whenever i feel sick i go there and he puts some spices in a fish dish that makes me well the next day. puerto ricans make some good dishes also.

Ruso gives the best rate. There are 2 of them that I know of currently. One is right across from Burger King, the other is in the gas station plaza that has the Inigma Night Club.It's RUSA and I agree they give the best service. The main one, and nearest to Lomar, is in Calle 10 de Julio, a couple of minutes walk from Parque Central. They stay open later than banks to 6. 00pm (or maybe 7. 00pm).
Interested in your mention of Enigma Night Club (pronounced by the locals as "Enema"). It was where you describe in Plaza Turistica for many years, then moved to the Malecon about three years ago. It then closed down a year ago or more. Has it moved back to the old site? Are you out of date, or am I?
It had an amusing sign outside boasting "24 sympathetic girls". I always bore it mind as the place to go if I ever tripped over and grazed my knee. (I never saw more than half-dozen chicas there at any one time).

Enigma has always been (as far as I am aware) in the Plaza. However, they did open a second location for a short time on the Malecon about a year ago. Believe it or not, they supposedly shut that one down because of too much violence. Though I would have thought it would have been the other way around. I have been there a few time and will probably go again. But is is certainly a "locals" spot and NOT for the faint of heart. Kind of like the "consulado" if anyone knows that one. Of course that one would be more of a "shit-hole local place". But then again, they do have the one girl that can smoke a cig and blow out puffs with her lady parts if you are into that.

Hey Manizales, I discovered the INFAMOUS, LEGENDARY NAOMI, at Crystals / Mustang Ranch aka FOD aka Fiesta aka, (some private club I don't know the name) aka FOD once again aka To be continued. LOL. I'm looking for Fatties with Sexy toes. And flacas con bonita dedos de los pies. LOL! Quero chupar mucho dedos de los pies. (damn foot fetish). LOL. I will post all highlights-low lights, and like I always mention 'no lights at all! ' I'm powering up the Chocolate Jackhammer as we speak. I'm going to just pop in, so I can get the true feel of the place. Ill get plenty of pictures, and I'm looking forward to meeting to management and shaking thier hand. Who knows maybe Ill discover another Naomi.

If you trip and graze your knee the emergency room at the Clinica Hernandez can kiss it better for about 300 pesos.

I just assumed they closed at the Plaza when they opened the other because it always looked dead when I passed plus they move all their expensive signage to the Malecon. I am surprised they closed because of violence because I imagine you need at least two people present to achieve that. Maybe the manager just "self-harmed"?
I know El Consulado, and La Fragrancia next door, very well and have often mentioned them on here. I used to live nearby and called in everyday to see if there was any fresh meat because the regular stock was not very enticing. Now and then there was and I had some great and very cheap times. My girlfriend's two cousins work in la Fragrancia. I was deeply moved by the lady who smoked with her fanny and tried to persuade my gf to do the same at home but she insists smoking is bad for one's health. If you want some local color they are good to visit but make sure you evacuate your bowels and bladder first. A friend of mine used the bano in El Consulado and came out a broken man. He said he had lost the will to live and didn't return to the DR for some time.

http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/tourism/2012/8/22/44830/Deputy-To-revive-Puerto-Platas-tourism-its-people-need-to-changeHe is absolutely correct but to change the Dominican (not just puertoplateno) mindset will take longer than one four-year term. It will take at least two generations. And the two examples he quotes, the bellboy and the taxis, suggests he doesn't really have a clue what the real problems are either.

Chris Long at Black Beards.
Had the opportunity to spend a four day weekend at Black Beards.
Airport:
Arrival at Puerto Plata airport is pretty painless follow the signs to customs and immigration both of which are pretty painless, pay your $10 visa fee go through both custom and immigration exit and get your pick up. I arranged for BB to pick me up at the airport. There was a guy there with a sign with my name on it. The cost is $45 one way you pay when you check in along with your room fee do not pay the driver, pay for the ride at the front desk when you check it.
Black Beards:
Black beards is basically a fuck palace. There are about a dozen or so HOT Latinas hanging around the pool waiting for someone to fuck them. There are two shifts one from 11 am until 6 pm and the second from 6 pm until 12 midnight. The women in my opinion are HOT I was very pleased with the looks of the women I found there. The women you see in the news letter are in fact the women that are there, there is no bait and switch, and you will find those girls at Black Beards. The women can be aggressive at times trying to get you to session with them and will push you to schedule an appointment, a word of caution if you schedule an appointment you are obligated to keep it, if you don't keep the appointment you still have to pay the fee. The fee is 1600 pesos for two hours or 3000 pesos for overnight, it depends on the girl but most girls will usually leave around 8 or 9 in the morning. Also, if you do not chose a TLN by midnight there are no other options as all of the girls leave at midnight and the place really dies down. After that time you will find no one there but the crickets. The day shift will dress in bikinis and lounge around the pool suggestively with legs wide open. The night shifts generally wear attractive evening club wear. On the weekends there is usually some event in the upstairs disco which can be quit fun and the girls really get into it and have a good time. Often they seem to have a theme night wear the girls will all dress in white or some other similar type of dress. I found the sessions to be quite good on this trip, on past trips there seemed to be a certain amount of bad acting in the bed room and a tendency to rush the session by some of the girls. This did not seem to be the case on this trip as many of the girls seemed to really enjoy the session and provided a good time without any rush and there was never any request for a tip. (I know many of you like to tip, but please do not do this, you are going to spoil the market just as it's spoiled in SJ and all of the girls will come to expect a tip for the service, for BBBJ for DATY. So please do not tip) BBBJ and DATY were standard in all of my sessions the sex itself is covered.
Black Beards is a nice hotel, the rooms I had were good. I initially had the basic single but then upgraded to a better room, I was pleased with both of my rooms, safes in the room air-conditioning TV hot and cold running water, nice rooms nice establishment. The only problem was the wifi, on my previous trip the wifi was good and I had good internet access in my room, on this trip it did not matter where I was at the wifi was either painfully slow or not accessible at all. The staff and the service personal were all good and the food at Black Beards was good and plentiful and I eat almost exclusively at Black Beards. I found the prices there to be the same as the other restaurants in the area.
I did not find any freelances in the area though others have told me they found them. There are attractive locals walking around that I believe could be had but it may take a little Spanish and some time.
Yennys is the place to go to exchange money and to buy your vitamin V. Yennys gives you market exchange rates and will also sell you generic vitamin V for 100 pesos per pill which today is about 3 to 4 dollars a pill. Yennys is the BOMB. When your driver picks you up from the airport you can ask your driver to stop at Yennys before he takes you to Black Beards or you can just walk there from Black Beards it's a five minute walk at most. Once you exit Black Beards turn to your right and follow the road it will wind around a bit but will lead you to Yennys the place itself is not that big so even if you do get lost you will quickly find your way.
The Beach is less than a five minute walk from Black Beards, Once you exit turn to your left go to the end of the street and turn to your right it will lead you to the beach. The beach is nice there are venders and shops along the beach and some have said they found free lancers there. Though I have never seen anyone I could definitely say was a free lancer. There are women at the beach but a word of caution families go to the beach quit often, so approaching any attractive girl there thinking she is available may find yourself with an unhappy confrontation with someone's father or husband or brother, so just because you see an attractive girl on the beach does not mean she is automatically available for P4P its not Sosua beach.
When leaving Black Beards the taxi fee will be an additional $45 this you will pay to the driver when he drops you off. At the airport you will have to fill out the same forms you filled out when you entered the country but there is no additional exit fee.
I felt perfectly safe walking around the location and never had any fear in the area and believe it to be perfectly safe. My Spanish is practically none existent but I never had any problem at all as there are enough mongers who know enough Spanish or the locals will know enough English to help out. There are a good group of mongers at Black Beard and you will instantly make friends and have people to hang out with.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I still think Black Beards is great and I am very thankful that it exists. If you like to fuck come to Black Beards, if you like to fuck a lot come to Black Beards faster, because basically that's what you do at Black Beards is fuck and that's what Black Beards is all about, fucking. Every monger should experience Black Beards at least once.

From Dominican Today: "Deputy: To revive Puerto Plata's tourism it's people need to change. He said it's regretful that for many reasons only 230, 000 passengers landed at Puerto Plata's airport last year. 70 to 80% of the hotels are closed."
http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/tourism/2012/8/22/44830/Deputy-To-revive-Puerto-Platas-tourism-its-people-need-to-changeFrom the comments section:
"Sosua will be the next victim of the tourism life cycle. Trust me. It stayed alive because of the sex trade. Now that it has been discovered by virile young black guys from Atlanta and Philly, the bulk of the Euros and caucasian North Americans are going to desert the area. Trust me on that one. I will not outline the dynamics, because some might get offended, which is out of character for me. However, watch it take a nosedive in the near future. Without the ladies of easy virtue, it really has nothing much to offer."

We all know that without the pussy, Sosua changes dynamics. But what are you going to replace it with? Moms walking around pushing strollers. Willie who is Dominican and used to be Deputy Mayor, who also ran Latinos will be opening a huge club any day now that will stretch from Rumba all the way to Classicos. Is he doing this for the soccer moms on vacation?
That was just an anti American rant, nothing more.

Thanks for the report Chris! You really don't have to tell us where you are at; many, but not all of us, can figure that stuff out.
I never been to BB, but then again, I'm old and can only fuck for so long. To me, it's like shooting a fish in a barrel, but there are so many fish in the barrel. I'm glad to hear that you had a great time!
Thanks for taking the time and reporting!
I hope I get the chance to go there soon!
I'm planning on my first trip for 2 or 3 weeks at the end of December so I have been hunting on Badoo and Cupid, I'm more into the novia thing than quantity so I figure I should have a pretty good idea of what I am getting into by the time I am there.
What I am hoping is someone can suggest a good place to get a webcam in Puerto Plata and an idea of what they cost for a decent one with microphone? Second can someone tell me what berda means? Can't figure some of the slang out to save my life.
And in the spirit of giving I found this girl on Badoo, I don't think I can put a link in but search for Katty La Chula or #01220956470. Cute 21 year old who offered to do anything I wanted for $2500 day and night plus she's happy to bring friends and has pics of them all, some very hot ones.
Thanks
Verda is true or really. Always bring or buy what you need here.

Ah ok, like verdad, thanks man.
I have a girl that I have been talking to, if she doesn't ask me for anything in the next couple weeks then I am going to get her a webcam to make our chats more interesting. I figured it made more sense to send some cash for her to go get one instead of sending a cam from her and paying shipping and duty.

ThanksIt's not slang, it's an uneducated person spelling words the way they sound. Verdad=true. It takes a while but you will get used to it. Replace almost any "be" with a 'v" and you'll be half way there.

Wait until you go and bring one with you, or not. The fact that she knew enough to tell you 2500 pesos should be a sign to you that she is a pro for certain and you aren't the first guy that has sent her money.
Having a good repore takes a little cash every now and then. If you have a good relationship with her may be it is worth it. When she asks for more then you want to give say no. It is that simple I have a couple of sweeties that are at my call. I send a gift every now and then. For me it is a great investment and I have no regrets. Having 20 something chicas providing good GFE is priceless. My next trip I have 3 non pros willing to fuck me all day long. I do not do casas any more. I have my own line up that I have personally vetted.

Sounds like we have the same idea about this stuff OldKool, I used to go to China a lot for work and got to the point where I had a couple steady girls that cost me nothing other than dinner (when I wanted the company and I billed it to work anyways) or a dress now and then.
It's 2 different girls Mani, the girl I am serious about is nonpro or hiding it well. The one who told me prices is a total pro, even lists the casa she works at on her Badoo profile. She said she will do anything, anal, swallow, bring friends, lesbo shows so I figured I'd share with the board in case someone wanted to try her out. She sent me nude pics then asked me to send some money every month LOL, I told her she has to earn it when I am there, told her keep me happy and you'll get lots.
I have 2 good girls I am talking to now, hopefully have a couple more before I go, throw in the odd hook up while I am there and it'll be a great trip. And as OldKool says, a small investment pays off, especially if she has never asked for anything. Plus it's a webcam, it's more for me than her LOL.

Quick question. Are the girls at Blackbeard's generally mulatto or black? From any photos shot at Blackbeard's I've seen so far, the lighter skin Latinos do not seem to be there.
Quick question. Are the girls at Blackbeard's generally mulatto or black? From any photos shot at Blackbeard's I've seen so far, the lighter skin Latinos do not seem to be there.They are an assortment. Not sure how you are defining terms like mulatto and black. In most English speaking countries these days the word "black" is used to describe all persons of mixed African and European races regardless of their skin tones. This is not very useful inthe DR since nearly everyone is of mixed race, so the word "black" is not very descriptive.
In the DR, when words like "morena","india","canela","rubia" or "negrita" are used, they are more descriptive of skin tones even though persons of the same family may match different descriptors.
Most of the girls you would meet at BB would be in the canela (cinnamon) to morena (brown) spectrum.
If there were any "lighter skin Latinos", you probably wouldn't want to sleep with them, as they would be men.

There are plenty of lighter skinned latinas and blond latinas as well.Very true, but what those familiar with the DR call a "lighter skinned latina" many American would call "black". As for the blondes, they are not what you would find in Northern Europe. They have a sort of tallowy color and most of them are dyed anyway.
I think anyone who is hung up on skin color would be better off visiting a different country.

I had occassion to enjoy some of these girls.
For real good looking white women with a latina look go to CR, Colombia, Argentina.

Hey guys.
I'm going to be in Puerto Plata next week.
Anyone interested in hanging out?
Also is the area around Sea Breeze safe?
Everything should be withing walking distance right?

Everything should be within walking distance, right?You don't seem to have done a lot research before your trip if you don't know which town you are staying in. Sea Breeze is in Sosua not Puerto Plata.
The rest is good news though. Sea Breeze is in the heart of Sosua and everything you need on a short first trip is within walking distance. It is very safe subject to the usual advice (don't get drunk, don't flash money or valuables, don't get invoved in disputes, don't let locals take you off the beaten track).
On later trips, or if this is a long stay, you may want to explore beyond the center of Sosua. Hell, you might even make it to Puerto Plata City!
There are always gringos around to show you the ropes. Do not put yourself in the hands of Dominicans! Two good meeting places are Rocky's Bar for late breakfast (ask the manager Rick to introduce you to reliable mongers) and Ruby's Bar on the beach mid-afternoons.
Have a good trip and read up more on the boards. You will save money and your precious holiday time by being more prepared. Any follow-ups I suggest you post in the Sosua section.
You don't seem to have done a lot research before your trip if you don't know which town you are staying in. Sea Breeze is in Sosua not Puerto Plata.Technically, Sosua is in the province of Puerto Plata.
Charles Pooter
09-15-12, 20:19
Technically, Sosua is in the province of Puerto Plata.Indeed it is, and I am aware of that as I live here, but when did you ever read any DR monger defining where he is going by referring to the province and not to the town or city? The fact that the guy posted in the Puerto Plata section rather than the Sosua section shows he is a bit vague about where he is going. (And your use of the word "technically" is redundant).

Are you picking up where Jaosousa left off?Has he left off? I know he was threatening to. Would be a sad loss to the Santo Domingo and southern parts of the board. The only consolation would be that I could continue my campaign for a replica statue of Oliver Cromwell in peace.
Has he left off? I know he was threatening to. Would be a sad loss to the Santo Domingo and southern parts of the board. The only consolation would be that I could continue my campaign for a replica statue of Oliver Cromwell in peace.Perhaps it could replace the bronze reproduction of Michelangelo's male nude Prince Harry that is found in all its glory at the end of the Malecon near the Cristal Rio Spa and Club. The fact that Cromwell was responsible for executing a King of England would surely make the statue very popular with Dominicans. But would he be nude?
Are you picking up where Jaosousa left off?Is the guy that posts the internet pics gone?
Is the guy that posts the internet pics gone?I am sure he will resurface, as he can't stay away.
I am sure he will resurface, as he can't stay away.I try to stay out of the Jao thing, but the board has been pretty dead without him. It appears that his detailed posts are heavily missed. They sparked conversation because his reports made is yearn for our next visit. Shit, I even miss him going off on someone when he is completely wrong. That's just Jao, he gives us valuable info but needs to complain every now and then. Kind of like a girl on her period that's good to us the other 25 days left in the month.
Come back Jao, just make sure you take your medicine LOL.

I think anyone who is hung up on skin color would be better off visiting a different country.Yep. The DR has a very different cultural filter for race than the US. A chica who in the US would be a light skinned black girl because of her facial features might in the DR be considered a blanquita. If you are looking for more euro / indio latinas rather than mixed african ancestry you are better off in Columbia or central america.
Will be in DR mid October to early November. Thinking of spending a few nites at Blackbeards or Field of Dreams or both, at the beginning or end of this trip. How far in advance do I need to book the room online? Will they be booked up and is it too late if I reserve the room 2 weeks in advance?

But if you have a good reason to leave it late, look on the bright side. If you cannot get a room at either of those places, there are plenty of other places to stay that mongers regularly use and which many would prefer anyway. It isn't worth agonizing over.
Any idea how much is a taxi from Puerto Plata to the airport in Santiago? And how long is the drive?
The busees are inexpensive and consistent. Do a little research and you can save money and enjoy the ride.

Any idea how much is a taxi from Puerto Plata to the airport in Santiago? And how long is the drive?I can not comment on the price of the taxi other than I have seen between $100. $150 posted on this site. When I drove from BB to the airport in March it took about 1 1/2 hours but it will all depend on traffic. If you hit heavy traffic in Santiago it could take much longer.
The bus is a good idea if you are not in a hurry to get to the airport. I assume you will have to take a taxi to the airport from the bus station.

I had been planning to take a bus. But the airline changed the time of my flight from 3PM to 1PM. That means I'll probably have to get to the Santiago airport by 11AM, which means I'll have to get up very early to catch an early bus. That's the reason I'm trying to find out how much the taxi costs.

I checked the bus schedule and I will either take a taxi, or take a taxi between STI and Santiago, stay a night in Santiago, and then taxi to bus station and bus to PP / Sosua. (the last two neglibile in cost).
Yes, I know it would be just easier to fly into POP, but the return flight will leave me stranded in LAX for one night, or require rental car or airport parking for 2 weeks.
Yes, I am getting ready for my first trip to DR this coming November. I am really looking forward to it. Thanks to so many posting here with advice, I am getting prepped properly.

There are probably more working girls in Puerto Plata than in Sosua. The city is nine times as big, after all. And there are ten times the number of semi-putas, by which I mean chicas who don't go out and about looking for paid sex, but are more than willing to go to a gringo's place for money given the chance. You don't get many like that in Sosua.

Would the semi-pros be willing to go to FOD? I know how similar girls don't like to be associated w / Sosua, be / see of the mark on their rep as a working girl for just being seen there.

I know how similar girls don't like to be associated w / Sosua, be / see of the mark on their rep as a working girl for just being seen there.Don't see why not. (Don't forget that is how Field of Dreams operated for the first, and more successful, half of its existence under Dominican Billy. There were guys with hardcore working girls, semi-putas, non-putas, stag parties, married and courting couples, Dominicans on business travel, and one or two families, all co-existing amicably. There were no working girls available on site). But those murals won't help make them feel at ease, I must admit. Non-putas might be harder nuts to crack.
*I am not including its recent Renaissance under the Three Js which will be its golden years. If sustained.
Gentleman.
I've been working alot since I got back, so this report is a little late. However, I wanted to put it out anyway in case someone finds any info useful.
Day one.
Arrived at the airport, grabbed a cab and hit RUSA. I got 39. 05 per dollar. Hit la Sirena to get some things for the room. I checked western union and they were paying 39. 10. So next time I can skip RUSA. Hit the Hotel Lomar, my room was ready. 35 a night cash, no tax. FYI, later in the trip I walked into the Pureto Plata Beach Club and they are also 35 a night cash. Hotel Lomar is clean and safe, but basic. Its in a good location on the malecon. I tried to buy a phone at la Sirena, but it was 1000 pesos, I thought I could do better so I passed. The girl at the desk let me use her phone to call my american buddy who lives in PP. He picked me up an hour later and we hit a clothing store thats suppose to be a hot spot. I can't remember the name, but it was dead. We went back to la Sirena, where I met a hot hatian. Then on to dieciseis, which was also fairly dead. He dropped me off and I called the hatiana but she was a no show. So I ended up at club extravaganza, which I hear used to be called Enigima. I got a hot dominicana to go. 500 peso salida. I agreed to 2000 pesos for her. Probably could have gotten her for 1500. She was good! Complete GFE, un rushed. A little drama with the security because she didn't have her I'd.
Day two.
The desk clerk told me where to get a cheap phone. Everyone was talking about the 300 peso red phone, But the girl at the counter told me it was for dominicans only. I'm sure thats not true, but I needed a phone so I ended up paying appx 700 pesos plus 100 for minutes. So my american buddy wanted to take me somewhere. We ended up going to el Manatial in St Michaels I think it was. Its a water park where three rivers meet. Well, more like a collection of pools, not anything like an american water park. Anyway, there were some hot girls there, but they all looked young, so I passed. On the way back we stopped at a colmado and his wife introduced me to her friend. Good looking, seemed friendly. Ended up back at extravaganza. This time I got the light skinned girl that does the strip tease. Hot looking, but not a good in the cama. Quick BBBJ, as soon as I got it in she was asking if I was done. Those pretty faces always get me! LOL.
Day three.
My american buddy called and said his wifes friend wanted to meet, but I had plans. I hooked up with Charles Pooter and we went to FOD for the bikini contest. We had the wrong dates unfortunately. We werent the only ones, I ran into three guys I know from my July trip To BBs. Charles and I decided to head to Sousa. He showed me how to use the publico. For those who don't know, the publico is basiclly a route taxi. They fit six people in the car, two in the front and four in the back, at 45 pesos per person. So for the entire front seat you pay 90 pesos. This was a valuable lesson. A cab from Costambar to Sousa can be as high as 2000 pesos. So we get to Sousa and hit the beach. I thought the beach was pretty nice. As we passed Rubys, we ran into some friends of Charles. Charles is a funny guy, he and his buddy sparring back and forth was hilarous! I had asked to see Passions, so after a drink or two we headed off. We stopped in Ricks, where Charles introduced me to Rick. I've never stayed in Sousa, but when I do I"ll stay with Rick until I learn the ropes. We hit Passions and wow! Passions has hot girls! I didn't session, but I'll make a point of doing so my next time in Sousa. But I have to say, I didn't care for the way the girls were behind the counter. I like it when the seat in my lap and drink with me. We caught the publico back and Mr Pooter was kind enought to introduce me to a friend with whom I spent a very pleasant couple of hours. That night it was drinks up and down the Malecon. I went to el Furegon for a while. El Fuergon is a local dance spot. Some hot girls, but none paid me any attention. I think youd need time and spanish.
Day four.
I called the girl from the colmado in the morning. She wanted me to call back aroung noon. Walked the Malecon from the Lomar to el Barco resturant. I could not believe how bad it smelled. At parts I could look over and see garbage floating. The cleanest part seemed to be long beach. So I get back and call the girl. I thought she was coming, but she wants me to come and get her. So I shower and grab a moto, negotiate 200 pesos for two round trip. I get there and she doesn't want to leave, she wants to talk, and now she wants a cab, no moto. So I send the guy off, we talk, I meet her daughter, blah. Blah blan. So we grab a cab and go to the Lomar, now she wants a drink. So we go to Long Beach, We have three grandes and talk. It started off good, then it was "mi pais this, mi pais that". All of a sudden the DR is the best place in the world. I get hungry, I offer her lunch, she says "no, I cook my food for me and my daughter". Really? I wondering why she agreed to come. So after I eat, I ask her if she is coming to my room. She she says no, her brother is coming to get her. She gives me her facebook and email and off I go. My plan was to get a shower, grab a moto and go to FOD and get laid. As I walk in, the clerk tells me the guys downstairs are looking for me. I knock on their door, and theres a HOT young dominicana. They tell me they meet her at the beach and ask me if I want her. Hell yes! I tell her what I want offer 2000 pesos, probably should have said 1500. She accepts and I ask for her cedula. 19, lets go! Great session!
That night, drinks up and down the Malecon, Spent a couple of hours in Carribean Blue, I think it is. Ice cold beer for cheap, a / see good musica latina. The crowd was a little young. Ran into a couple of off duty BB girls, they spoke, gave me a hug and moved on. Went to Cristals. Plenty of hot girls but too expensive. Its crazy to see all those hot girls and like four guys. Youd think theyd get the picture. Ended up drinking at Andys on the Malecon, with a couple of good looking street walkers. Against my better judgement, I decided to take them both for 1000 pesos apiece. Got to the room, BBBJ, but the wanted more for the already negotiated lesbian show. No thanks. On girl kept spitting on the floor as she blew me! WTF! Fucked them both, nothing special. Then they ran through a half roll of toliet paper. Just wipping their lips and throwing it away and then getting more, Just being wasteful. Went back to extravaganza and got the first girl again. As we left the two street walkers were coming in. Another great performance with the first girl.
All in all a good trip, but not as easy as BBs. Lessons learned. I don't have time for semi pros, and no more street walkers! I'll be back 11/22 to 11/27. I'll give you a call Mr Pooter and treat you to lunch!

I hooked up with Charles Pooter and we went to FOD for the bikini contest. We had the wrong dates unfortunately.We didn't get the dates wrong. They cancelled, allegedly because Blackbeards Bikini Contest was on that afternoon. The ironic thing was that four guys who were staying at Blackbeards arrived because they wanted to get away from the Bikini Contest. I know how they felt. I never want to see another one at BB, FoD or anywhere else.
Anyway, good to meet you and you certainly did a few different things from most quick trippers.
You are too polite to say so, but I suspect you only understood 60% of my chatter. Churchill's observation about two nations divided by a common language comes to mind. Please do your homework before our next meeting:

Very good and detailed report. Gave me some good insights into PP. One of the questions I did have is about"Plenty of hot girls but too expensive. Its crazy to see all those hot girls and like four guys". Did you interview them and they quoted you a price. I am just asking, because I am a noob when it comes to DR, and I did just buy my frist ticket there for next month.
Thanks.
Gentleman.
I've been working alot since I got back, so this report is a little late. However, I wanted to put it out anyway in case someone finds any info useful.
Day one.
Arrived at the airport, grabbed a cab and hit RUSA. I got 39. 05 per dollar. Hit la Sirena to get some things for the room. I checked western union and they were paying 39. 10. So next time I can skip RUSA. Hit the Hotel Lomar, my room was ready. 35 a night cash, no tax. FYI, later in the trip I walked into the Pureto Plata Beach Club and they are also 35 a night cash. Hotel Lomar is clean and safe, but basic. Its in a good location on the malecon. I tried to buy a phone at la Sirena, but it was 1000 pesos, I thought I could do better so I passed. The girl at the desk let me use her phone to call my american buddy who lives in PP. He picked me up an hour later and we hit a clothing store thats suppose to be a hot spot.

No, I didn't interview them. I did a session there in July. So I know the price structure. Its 3000 pesos for an hour onsite, and 150 american for all night at your place. The girl I had in July was HOT! She was also a good provider. The room was basic. Overall, I perfer having girls in my room. Talk a little, have a drink, then get to it. I guess I'm not a wham bam kinda guy. Also, at BBs 3000 pesos gets you a girl all night with multiple pops. Enjoy your trip and please, report back.

I understood what you were saying. If I looked a little puzzled its because I was slowly realizing that expat life in the DR is different than the image I had created in my 3 trips! LOL. I enjoyed your compamy and appreciated your sharing your time and insight. See ya in November!

Reading that I may have helped inspiring others to come to the DR north coast is the greatest honor you could have made me, MonteQ.
I found mongering in Sosua a gratifying, even exhilarating experience.
Where I was expecting to find 2 neat categories of prostitutes, I encountered countless shades of gray.
Where I anticipated struggling with a corrupt society, I discovered a land with well-established traditions and a genuine sense of pride,
Where I feared dealing with a greedy and materialist culture, I found warm people with a deeply-rooted love for music, dance and fun.
So being told that I may have inspired others to follow my steps in discovering this land is the greatest compliment of all. I am on my way to a cupid date on my favorite waterhole on the Malecon, and I'll make sure I'll raise my first Presidente to you, and to all the anonymous voices on that board who made it possible for me as well,
Yours,
Sammy.
I am with Henry here: I also am looking at taxi cost, because my plane arrives in STI at 10 pm and leaves at 8:05am. I checked the bus schedule and I will either take a taxi, or take a taxi between STI and Santiago, stay a night in Santiago, and then taxi to bus station and bus to PP / Sosua. (the last two neglibile in cost).
Yes, I know it would be just easier to fly into POP, but the return flight will leave me stranded in LAX for one night, or require rental car or airport parking for 2 weeks.
Yes, I am getting ready for my first trip to DR this coming November. I am really looking forward to it. Thanks to so many posting here with advice, I am getting prepped properly.

Thank you all for helping us noobies out to make these trips as smooth as possible. I promise I will post my trip reports once I return (Nov 11. Nov 25)
Just a warning. Yesterday a motoconcho driver and passenger who had stopped to make a turn were hit and killed by a cement truck, leaving their corpses looking like roadkill, I am told. Fortunately I was not an eyewitness to this.
I am told that if the driver has full insurance he will only have to spend 48 hours in jail, as the insurance will cover everything including the cost of the funerals. Not sure how accurate this information is.
I'm going to have to be more careful. I've gotten very comfortable with motos.

Generaly $60 driver takes you to Sosua lets you look at some of the sights (Passions, the beach, the bars) waits for you and then brings you back.

How about from BBs to Sosua? What's the most cost effective but still practical way to do that?There isn't one. Blackbeards is a great place but one of the downsides is there is no cheap and practical way to get to anywhere else and back again after dark.
You either rent a car (which is expensive and has other downsides) or you use the notorious Costambar taxi mafia. You can do it by public transport cheaply, but it can take ages unless you are lucky with your connections and some mongers may not fancy finding themselves alone in the dark coming back at night.
Not sure why anyone would want to stay at Blackbeards and pay a premium for everything for the convenience of having it all on site, then get so bored you need to go to Sosua. If you are talking about a one-time trip into Sosua just to see what it is like, then bite the bullet and hire a cab, but it won't be cheap.
If you want to stay in a Blackbeards-type environment, but enjoy the freedom to get out and about to Puerto Plata, Costambar and all points between, very easily and cheaply 24/7, then stay at Field of Dreams instead. It's slightly cheaper, the rooms are slightly better, the management are more friendly, the food is much the same for the same price, the onsite chica service doesn't shut down for the night because some live onsite and are always available, and it is more acceptable to take in outside chicas. On the other hand, you won't have nearly as good a choice of onsite chicas. Depends what your priorities are but you cannot have it all for a bargain basement price.
Of course if you can find three or four other guys willing to share a taxi to Sosua and back your problem is solved. And there are often a few timid newbies there who would like to do that if in a group.

I meant to say "to Puerto Plata, Cabarete, and all points between" (which would of course include Sosua). In fact you can go a lot further, to Rio San Juan, without changing, but it would be a long and bumpy trip and possibly too crowded to be enjoyable.

You just have to be careful not to be kidnapped with your Loonies in your tennies on the way to the bank.

What you guys think about the small local rental agencies?
Are they any good?I would stick to a company like Hertz that provides Casa del Conductor coverage. Many of the other insurers do not provide this, and it is a must for me.
Should be enough to keep you amused for three nights. But if there aren't then find your own. There are probably more working girls in Puerto Plata than in Sosua. The city is nine times as big, after all. And there are ten times the number of semi-putas, by which I mean chicas who don't go out and about looking for paid sex, but are more than willing to go to a gringo's place for money given the chance. You don't get many like that in Sosua.Thanks. Any recommendations in Puerto Plata? I think Crystals is supposed to be good but expensive.
I only have 3 nites in Puerto Plata, so will not have time to check out more than a couple of places. So which ones? Crystals or some other places?

I would stick to a company like Hertz that provides Casa del Conductor coverage. Many of the other insurers do not provide this, and it is a must for me.Excellent point. Use the Search function to find out more about the Casa del Conductor option. Basically it means that instead of being taken straight to a Dominican jail in case of a moderately serious accident (someone hurt or major property damage) you are taken to a sort of motel where you have access to a phone, food, a toilet and (if you want) a choice of lawyers.
I have used Hertz and there very nice and competitive price was as long as you try to get the best price. I personally use Adventure Care rental and have used them 30 to 40 times. As far as cas del conductor I never purchased that. I fortunately never had any serious accidents when traveling.

Hertz is very good and I will use the Casa del Conductor coverage next time. I would have used it sooner but did not know it was available. Thanks for that bit of new information.
I made a suggestion to Jeffery one of the Field of Dreams owners about a "Whats New" banner for their web site and it is up already. For those of us that know about FOD and the web site this should help draw attention to the many changes they keep making without having to search all over the site. There is also a quick survey you can take that enters you into a drawing.
Hey guys, I just came back from Cristals (I think that's how they spell it) and wanted to share my experience.
Before I start, just wanted to mention that this my first time to DR and I'm totally new to local mongering scene, so please be nice. Also English is not my first language, so. You know. Good thing that spell checker works in a browser.
My previous mongering experience is limited to korean and japanese girls (big fan!) but I wanted to try something different.
Anyway, back to Cristals. I'm staying at one of the Playa Dorada resorts so I went outside of the hotel where taxi drivers were hanging out. Was was kinda embarrassed to ask reception to get me a taxi. I know, I know, like I said. I'm new. So I was quoted $20 both ways and taxi driver will wait for me. I agreed and off we go. I arrived there at around 5 pm and first impression was the place is dead. But the moment I approached the bar I was immediately surrounded by five girls. They were smiling and showing their best sexy moves. One shorter girl was the most aggressive (umm, maybe it's not a right word, but you know what I mean) , she was grabbing my dick through pants and showing her boobs. She said her name was Chocolate. I kinda moved a bit away from her and tried to get better look at other girls. I asked what everyone name was. I chose Mecha, a cute looking one. Once I did that all the girls, except Chocolate went away.
I don't speak Spanish and Mecha didn't speak much English so Chocolate was translating. She said I have to pay bartender 3, 500 pesos. I said that's to much and also I was the only client there so I offered 2, 000. We were negotiating for about 5 min and finally Chocolate said it's up to the girl. Mecha said no. But I liked her and the cab was waiting outside so I agreed.
We went upstairs, to one of the small kinda dark rooms with a bed and a little couch. Mecha was nice, but with some restrictions and whole experience with her was more like business type transaction. What did I expect? Of course it was a business transaction. But I had some good times with asian girls, they do work really hard to please you. Anyway, after we were done, she said "My tip?". I gave her $5 US. I hate to be cheap but she didn't want to lower price in a first place. She clearly wasn't happy about the tip. I asked how much she expected. She said at least $20 US. I said no. At that point I just wanted to leave that place and never come back.
So, there you go guys, unfortunately my first experience was not as good as expected. But I'm really easy going guy, and I did get laid today, so I'm happy. I'm in PP till October 27 so there is still time to go other places (Sosua, maybe?). If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to post here or send me a PM.

So, there you go guys, unfortunately my first experience was not as good as expected. But I'm really easy going guy, and I did get laid today, so I'm happy. I'm in PP till October 27 so there is still time to go other places (Sosua, maybe?). If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to post here or send me a PM.

Quote from FOD sucks D R 1.
Field of Dreams in Puerto Plata is the worst place to go for adult entertainment. A friend and I went there a few days ago and paid the House for a couple of the girls. After we paid the house and enjoyed some time with the girls, the girl demanded more money. We then gave the girl more money and left.
A few days later we returned to Field of Dreams and one of the owners immediately told us we had to leave. One of the girls from the day before told the owner that we literally beat her up and that we didn't pay for our time before. This is not the type of situation you ever want to be put into, especially in a foreign Country. Some trashy **** prositute makes up a lie and the owners actually took the prositutes side. Keep in mind, my friend and I do not speak spanish, so it was very uncomfortable and the language barrier was difficult. I would stay clear of this place and go to Sosua, where you'll find Passions, CMP or bar 59.
Oh, and on a final note. Field of Dreams has been under new lease, since Sept. Of 2012. One of the losers who leases the place actually married one of the prostitutes!

For the other girls in Sosua, I understand it's important to firmly negotiate beforehand.

For the other girls in Sosua, I understand it's important to firmly negotiate beforehand.I have to agree with Spirit, I like the way Peter handles situations, case & point, I took two girls out of Passions for all night, I was staying at Mary Rose. FYI will be back from Oct 23 thur Nov 2. Anyway we go to the condo I want to heat things up, touching watching them get into to it, They start to take turns on me while one takes a shower. Okay after the first girl comes out the shower I'm so ready I can't wait for her friend to come out. I have her spread her legs so I can give The Pussy Test. Hey I don't care how fine she is if it don't smell right down there it's over. When she opened her legs I see a tanpax or tampon still up her pussy. I said What The Fuck is This! She jumps out the bed runs to the bathroom comes back and says What? Papi What? Then the other girls says No papi she have no tampon see look. Now fellas maybe if they would have beem honest with me they may of had a chance. Instead of taking me for a fucking asshole. But they persisted and fucked up the whole mood. My dick wasn't feeling it, I said okay get fucking dressed I'm taking you both back to passion and let Peter know you getting into bed with customers with tampons in your pussy. That was their last chance to be honest but they stuck to the now you see it now you don't so it was never there. I get back to Passions told Peter the whole story he had the coolness of a Godfather Mafioso, says What you want to do? Do you want your money back or two other girls. Hey he was so cool and not what I expected I had to take a min and figure out what I really wanted LOL I didn't see anyone one else or maybe it was just me so I took my money went to the casino doubled it and took two out of CMP, But I'm a passion fan for life because of Peter. Have beem back since will be there for Halloween holla at me will be dressed as Doctor Feel Good.

For the other girls in Sosua, I understand it's important to firmly negotiate beforehand.Gentlemen: I would like to simply " add a footnote " (observation) to Drambuie's preceding report on Cristal night club in Puerto Plata regarding " personal-hygiene!": When I visited Cristal night club for the first time 5 years ago after retiring here on Costambar beach, I couldn't help but notice that they did not have a bathroom or shower to complete my customary / routine " pre-coital and post-coital " shower or bath and of course, raising the question of where did my " prospective-partner " shower or bathe before and after her previous " encounter or liason!": Now I realize that some my fellow hobbyists would simply " chalk this off " to personal preference, or in other words they might enjoy sweaty, funky and smelly sex as an integral part of the experience: However, after mongering 35 years (including 5 years in the military / in and out of a combat zone) around the world," wisdom and experience " has convinced me that " buyer-be-aware " should probably " flash in everyone's mind " when you encounter a " bordello without a bathroom!": Over & Out Gentlemen!

If I am wrong, and there is any truth in it, I will hasten to advertise the fact on here and apologize.
There are lots of little clues that these guys were total newbies who don't know shit. How many mongers here ever refer to the DR as a "foreign country" or to the "language barrier"? For one thing you do not pay the management at FoD for the chicas. The chicas are self-employed and you pay them directly whatever price you negotiate. Usual maximum is same as Blackbeards but if things are quiet you can negotiate less. My guess is the guys paid for short-time use of the room and thought that included the chica. It might be obvious to us it wouldn't but if these guys were clueless they might have thought it did, then they started getting rough when the chicas asked for payment.
The other thing is, if they were so badly treated and have such a high opinion of Passions, CMP, or bar59, why did they want to return to Field of Dreams? Only reason I can think of is they were staying at Playa Dorada and didn't know how to get around to other places. They are obviously newbies or they wouldn't have posted their complaints on DR1 rather than here or a board like this. How is that going to hurt FoD's reputation? They wouldn't get much sympathy from DR1 posters for being short-changed in a brothel.
I like Field of Dreams because it is a convenient place to meet my friends from Sosua. The environment is the best on the North Coast and bar prices are fair. That's all I need. I live here so I have no interest in staying there or taking out a chica. So I hope it stays open though it will be a hard trick to pull off. If reports like the one quoted by Hillybilly keep the dumbass trouble-makers away I will be only too happy. Let them all go to CMP. They will fit in great there.

So, I am sitting at one of the tables having dinner last night when 2 guys came into the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed but happy at the time. The guys were a bit loud, but who isn't from time to time? One of my girls immediatly got very upset and even began to cry. I asked her what was wrong. My papasan and one of my other partners joined in the explanation of what had happened a couple of night earlier.
Aparently these same 2 guys had been in and were doing some drinking. They decided to take a couple of girls. One guy went to a room the other to the jacuzzi. Both guys paid the house for the room / jacuzzi. The guy that took the room paid his girl without incident and all was fine. However, the guy that went for a BJ in the jacuzzi did not want to pay. He finally offered her 100 pesos, but the girl was already frustrated with him and said forget the money just don't expect anything from any girl here ever again. At that point the guy slapped her in the face so hard it left a hand print.
Fast forward back to last night. They are here and the girl is upset. After hearing what had happened from the girl, the papasan, and one of my partners. I personally went over to the 2 guys and said it would probably be best if they left. They immediately got very loud and argumentative. They damanded their money back for the 2 beers they had ordered even. We said fine, and I grabbed the 2 full beers and poured them out right in front of them just to sink the point in. Gave them their beer money back and said now it is time to leave. Again, they became argumentative. One said "do you really think I would come here and use a girl and not pay her?". So I said."well. Did you pay her?" He responded. No I did not, she would not even take the 100 pesos I offered her. I say, so. You did not pay her, AND you offered her an insulting amount of money? I talk them that we did not want to argue, we did not even want to talk about the situation any more. Please leave and do not come back.
That was the end of the situation. Agree or don't. I need the girls, and they need me. We have to support and protect each other. Please understand, there have been situation (several from time to time) that I am NOT on the girls side. I have had to throw girls out too. But if a guy comes in and does not want to pay. Then becomes physically abusive. Yeah. You got to go.
Hope this clears things up.

I am waiting for the other side of the story. The truth is always some place in the middle and things are not adding up for me. All of the FOD owners speak English (and few other languages) and Spanish well enough to be able to resolve any issue that may arise at any time. They collect money for rooms, food and drinks not for the girls. Each girl sets their own price at rates very much in line with BB's. That said there may be an up sell for things like girl on girl, anal etc.
Another thing that does not add up is why anyone would return if they in fact had treated the girls so poorly or did not pay them the agreed upon amount the next day. The guys would have to know that the girls would say something to the owners and to each other.
I have witnessed a couple of times at BB's when two or more guys that did not speak Spanish and the girls did not speak the guys language had problems at the end of a session because the guys were drunk or things were not agreed upon first. Things like sharing girls, a lesbian show or if the session got to rough could be reasons for accusations to have been made by the girls to the owners. We were not there so one can only guess what really took place.
Again something is off regarding the entire situation. Perhaps one of the owners can shed some light on what went down?

How often do we shower together with the girl? Just thought that I would ask since not all places involve showering beforehand (and after in the room). A good example is Tijuana.

good point.
case in point, there is local spot in sdq i didn't care for that much however talent is great but are not use to foreign clientele (assumption). girls normally flock around the newbie when he walks in the door. now back to the place, drinks are nornal price. the reason i stayed was for my waitress. she didn't demand a tip as usually when they hear my accent.
i took her upstairs twice on two separate days for 2k originally agreed on two pops in 1 hour. both time were over 2 hours. the security had to yell upstairs and check on her.
my point is when i asked her where i could take a [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) her eyes got big and she began slowly shaking her head. she walked me there, the smell was epic, she opened the door to a room and ran back to the bedroom. it was like a crime scene in there. dead ca shower looked like it was part of the amazon with plants and algae throughout.
the toilet was in the center of the floor dust and dirt abound. turdes were steaming. needless to say i was in a biohazard toxic dump.
i thought were does she [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) and wash her ass. what i concluded is probably she lived close and / or there is somewhere close where them might clean up. she was very clean no smell great personality.
i know my tale is not unique just my. 02.
peace,

How often do we shower together with the girl? Just thought that I would ask since not all places involve showering beforehand (and after in the room). A good example is Tijuana.There is no hard and fast rule, though at Passions they want you to shower first, as I recall. If one or both are hot and sweaty, then showers before and after are a good idea. If she has been in a bar setting, a shower may help to get rid of any odor of smoke on her hair or skin. I would never discourage her from taking a shower if she needs one. You may have showered just before meeting her, and not feel the need to repeat.
She may want you to take a shower, especially prior to delivery of a blow job.
You can shower together, but I prefer to let her do whatever she has to do in privacy-however don't leave her out of sight with your valuables while you are in the shower.
Do you really want to have sex with someone without showering?

The girls I picked up on the strip, all showered, but none asked me to.
I was just in sosua on oct 5-7' just Friday and Saturday all day left Sunday. I had a total of 11 women during that time and all showered, its a good thing. Stayed at terra Linda, great spot. Really close to the action.

OK, guys. Here is my second report from PP. After my fiasco at Cristals (see my report below) , I wanted to try other options
http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?504-Puerto-Plata&p=1337435#post1337435
One place is very close to the hotel I'm staying is Field of Dreams, so I said to myself : "let's go there". Also today is Wednesday and they have swimsuit competition. I wanted to see girls in bikinis but at the same time I was kinda hesitating because I thought there will be too many guys, and I don't want to end up competing for the girls. Man, was I wrong.
Anyway, still too shy to ask hotel reception for a cab to FOD, since I am sure everybody knows what kind of place I'm going to, so instead I went outside of the hotel to get a cab myself. Get into the car, taxi driver says name Elias, we talk, very nice guy, but he is not sure where FOD is, so other drivers give him directions. He says it's going to be 300 pesos, I agree and off we go.
Arrived at FOD around 5 pm, Elias wants to go in with me to check the place. Kinda weird, but that's okay with me. So we're going inside and the place seems offley quiet. What's up with that? Did I miss swimsuit event? I see groups of girls here and there, so I smile, say "Hola, comestas?" and I'm going to the bar. Got a drink and trying to see what's going on. I see lot's of girls around a table next to the pool so I am going there. Meanwhile, Elias has already satisfied his curiosity and goes back. He gives me his cell number and asks me call back when I need a taxi. OK, sure.
So I stand close to the table where about twenty girls gathered around, they talk about something in Spanish I don't understand. There is older woman, her name is Maria, probably mamasan, so I ask her what happened to swimsuit event. She said all the girls are ready but there was no one here to watch. I said, ah okay. And thinking to myself, wow, that's nice! I can have any girl I want! I see couple other guys hanging out at the pool and at the bar, I say hello. Introduce myself. Everybody is so friendly. So I just keep enjoying my drink and looking at the girls. What I liked is that no girl was coming on to me as opposed to Cristals. They were just smiling and looking at me, I felt really relaxed and I was able to make my choice without any pressure.
I see a cute, younger looking girl across the table, and I like her but I'm not sure how to approach her because she is surrounded by other girls. Feel kinda awkward to get her from the crowd, so I'm trying to get eye contact with her but she is not really looking at me. Oh well. Then I notice another girl, she stands next to me, also cute, so I ask her name, she says "Billy". I ask if she wants have a drink, she says yes, and we're going to the bar. She's having a beer, and then I ask her about the price. She can speak English a bit, so she asks "price for the room?". I said no, I know how much is the room, what is your price? She says 1, 600. I said OK.
Now, I have to say I'm not "wham bam thank you madam" kinda guy, I like to get to know a girl a little before we're going to the room. So we're hanging out at the bar, I'm not in a rush, neither is she because not many customers around. Then her friend joins, she orders fried chicken with fries so the girls are sharing the meal and offer me to have some. I'm not really hungry, so I'm just having some fries. They share a beer I bought for Billy, so I ordered one more for her friend. Billy introduces me to her, her name is Marlenis, not really my type, but she has outgoing personality and likes to dance. Music is playing at the bar, Marlenis' showing off her sexy moves, I can't resist and we start dancing. Billy is looking at us, so I ask if she wants to dance, but she is too shy. I'm ordering one more round of drinks, Marlenis and I keep dancing and we're having a good time. Now it's time to go to the room. I pay 800 pesos at the bar. Billy says that her friend can join us for another 1, 600 if I want. Wow, I didn't expect threesome tonight but I'm thinking, three of us seems like are having good time, why not to continue in the bedroom.
So we're going to one of the rooms. What a difference comparing to Cristals! It's a bigger room, with king size bed, flat screen TV and, most importantly, a shower! The TV is on, and it's on a porn channel. Neither I, nor the girls like it so we're trying to switch to a music channel. While Marlenis is doing channel surfing, Billy and I are taking shower. Marlenis coundn't any good music on TV, so Billy plays music on her phone. Marlenis goes to shower and 5 minutes later joins us in a bed.
OK, guys I'm sure you want to hear play-by-play of what happened next, but I just want to say I had great time (and it wasn't a first threesome for me). Both girls were amazing, I can tell they were enjoying themselves. And if they were faking it, they deserve an Oscar for the performance. The only thing that slowed me down is I had to change condoms when I was switching between girls. But I understand, girls want to play it safe and I respect that.
Overall, it was a great experience. After we finished, we took shower again and went to the bar for more drinks and dancing. I took pictures of both girls with my iphone and tried to upload here but it failed. Sorry guys, I'm new at this. Maybe next time when I figure it out.

-DrambuieeDrambuiee,
All I can say is that aside from the kind words and the positive review, what you saw is what you will ALWAYS get at the Field of Dreams. Or FOD as we are affectionately known. The new management team that took over in May 2012 is comprised of a group of lifelong friends from Canada who elected to manage the resort for the FUN of being there and not necessarily as a potential cash grab. We have worked very hard over the last 4 months building up a dedicated clientele and are trying our best to find, train and educated the best looking chicas possible so that we can provide the best adult vacation destination on the North Coast. Sometimes, our scheduled events are not always what we would like them to be. Especially during the off season. Due to a low turn out. BUT. As any guest who has stayed with us during a slow period can attest to. The advantages of being one of a few guys with 20 hot and horny and hungry chicas around can be a HUGE advantage. So. Please do return and see what we have planned for the future. At the FOD. We are completely dedicated to making the resort THE destination for mongers on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
Was in POP in August, and nearby, so popped in to check out FOD.
Physically, the place has always been well-maintained, and remains so.
One of the owners gave me a quick tour, but I had been a guest back when Bill Lane was managing it,
So it was mostly just the new murals I noticed.
The girls seemed to me, to be fairly young (19-20) though looks can be deceiving, and still mostly slim,
So the beer and lifestyle were not yet taking a toll.
Ran into a chica I recalled from several years ago at BB (about 26 yrs old) and got a ST room for 20 bucks.
Had a nice session and left with a favorable impression.
Most of all, the owners and associates seemed to be dead serious in offering excellent service.
I offer the same advice as at BBs. Reach an understanding on what and how much BEFORE you go to the room,
For both yours and the chica's sake. Ask the Mamasan, Maria, or get a girl to translate.
If you have a dispute, calmly take it to the management. There is absolutlely NO excuse for getting violent or nasty with a chica.
The LEAST that can happen is none of them will want anything to do with you.
Consider yourself lucky you didn't have a talk with a Dominican cop. Could probably extort a huge bribe out if you.
I recommend FOD as a more laid-back version of BB.
Both offer good value for the money, and good places for any gringo new (or not) to the Road and looking for a good time.
Suerte,

Yanqui69Once again, it is very gratifying to see another happy camper leave the FOD with a good impression. On behalf of the new management at the resort (not so new anymore. We've been there since May 2012) , we have always promised one and all the same basic premise. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. We have tried our best to get the chicas to understand that the "hard sell" is not comfortable for many of our guests and they appear to have learned. We keep the place spotless, run a truly great kitchen with a world-class chef. And have always believed that ripping our guests off for drinks is a sure way to make certain that they will never come back. All in all, we have really tried to make everyone feel like the Field of Dreams is their home-away-from-home and we will continue to keep that attitude in place. On our web site, we have built a FORUMS page with a "Bitchfest" section where anyone can leave a comment (anonymously if they wish) telling us what is wrong with the resort. On behalf of the new owners, I can speak for all when I say that if we do not know about it, we cannot fix it. Everyone on the Field of Dreams Adult Resort team hopes that we will continue to be a viable alternative to the monger community on the North Coast and that our great selection of events and features will continue to get you, the guests and clients, to keep on coming back.

JeffreyHi Phaedrus.
I appreciate your posting here and I was hoping you could answers some questions about FOD.
I've been to Sosua (as well as Santiago and SDQ) a few times and I like it. However, I was thinking of checking out FODs just for variety's sake.
How far are you from Sosua? Are you in or very close to P. Plata? Also, do you have girls on-site or is it more bring your own?
I've been reading this site for quite awhile now and I can never get a good handle on where FOD and BB's are and if they're worth checking out.
Thanks
Old kool is on the move very soon. I have some non pros lined up but FOD is on my bucket list. Looking at a Monday or Tuesday stay. Will there be good action. I enjoy dancing and screwing. Will I be happy. Can I got a room upgrade or any perks for good PR. I have a small following on the board.

Hi Phaedrus.

ThanksDear Combo,
Thank you for the opportunity to answer your questions on ISG as they might be read by others who are equally interested and uninformed. By far the best place to get all the information that anyone could ever need, as well as photos, rates, events and a comprehensive FAQ's page, is our web site located at: http://fieldofdreamsadultresort.com.
In response to your questions in the order that they were asked and in point form:
- The FOD (Field of Dreams) is located directly across from the employees' entrance to Playa Dorada, a mere 20 minutes or so from Sosua. As we are actually situated east of Puerto Plata (on the Sosua side) there is no danger of inadvertently being stuck in local traffic. Our sign stands directly on the main road and we are very easy to find.
- We always have a good selection of chicas on site (about 15 to 20) and unlike many other resorts of our kind, we welcome anyone that you care to bring with you.
- BB's is located on the far west side of Puerto Plata in the residential community of Costambar and we are situated on the east side of Puerto Plata before you actually hit the city coming from the airport. Each has its own benefits geographically with the Field of Dreams being right across the street from Plata Dorada with its Robert Trent Jones Sr. Designed golf course and small shopping mall with restaurants and bars.
Anyone from ISG who comes and visits the FOD will be treated with that extra special attention that this forum demands for its members. Trusting that this answers your questions, you may reach me here or feel free to send me e-mails from any of the Contact Us forms on our web site.

I received the following email (edited somewhat) a little while back from one of the board members (polyorchid) who visited the DR in August the first time and was staying in Cabarete. He had rented a motorbike. A fun thing to do in a tropical island one would think.
Just wanted to forward this so guys are aware of the risks of a two-wheeler. This friend has had a close call and we all hope he gets better with each passing day.
Thanks.
Saturday, October 13, 2012 8:34 PM.
I was in a major motorcycle accident on Ocotber 1. I was turning left in Cabarete and a car passed and broadsided me at about 45 mph. I was unconscious for an hour and have very blurred vision and dizziness.
I was in Sosua hospital for several days but am now back in USA. The docs have given me prism'd lenses on my glasses to correct dobule bision. They feel it may right itself within six monthS. If it doesn't, they will do surgery to crrect it. A routine operation, they tell me.
I'm in USA, recuperating. Can't walk very well, also have cracked ribs. Asi es la vida.

As a PADI certified diver myself, I can refer your to a very good organization that can handle all of your dive needs. Notify me in advance of when you would like to come to the FOD and we'll work out a good day for you to dive and what individual needs you have (do you need all equipment. Are you bringing your own regulator. Etc.).

Field of Dreams will be closed this Saturday (27 Oct) afternoon for a private party. Only invited guests will be admitted (plus, of course, anyone already booked into the hotel and their guests.)
One of these parties was arranged three months ago and it was a great success. As far as I know, only one ISG member attended, Doker44, and he gave it a review here: post #6313 in this Puerto Plata section.
http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?504-Puerto-Plata&p=1302648&viewfull=1#post1302648
Admission is 500 pesos and all this money is shared among the putas present who guarantee to go at least topless. Last time about half stripped off completely. This ensures that any puta who does not pull a client at least gets food and transport money for attending and helps to keep them in a good mood. If a guy gives you a ride chip in for his gas money.
Normal bar and food prices apply. Bar prices are reasonable at FoD.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who has not visited FoD to see it at its best and also for anyone new to the North Coast to meet a lot of other mongers in a safe and friendly environment.
Over 20 guys have already promised to attend. I imagine the final total will be nearer the 30 we had last time, though not all stayed all the afternoon. There were about 25 chicas present last time.
Last time was hot and sunny all afternoon. This time we may get some showers but there are plenty of covered areas and they won't spoil the fun.
If you would like to come, make your own way there or turn up at Rocky's Bar at 1. 00pm. Some guys will have spare seats in their cars and the rest will walk to the publico stand and commission dedicated publicos to take you to the inner gate at Field of Dreams. If four guys share a publico instead of the usual 6 it should cost 100 pesos each.
This is a Private Party for invited guests only. If you wish to attend you must PM me by Friday afternoon latest so that I can notify the organizers, otherwise you will not be admitted. Read Doker44's post cited above about this.
The other reason for prior notice is so that the bar can start a tab in your name (real name, nickname, ISG handle, or whatever). Of course, you are welcome to pay as you go (like I always do) but a tab is handy if you want drinks sent to the pool or to a room.
I hope one or two of you can make it and look forward to meeting you there.
I have a friend who is coming. It is his first trip speaks no spanish.

I will be in DR in Feb. I will be staying at BB with a group of friends for one week. I will be in town either a week before or a week after the gathering with me friends. I will most likely be staying at FOD for a few days. I am not sure where I will be staying the rest of the time yet. I will not know until I get my vacation schedule for next year. I too would like to do a day or two of diving. Any info would be a great help.

JJ.I'm already booked for Blackbeard's in November and they said they are no longer hooking up with scuba operators as tours. So I'll have to wait until I get over to Sosua later in my trip and use one of the local operators in town for diving.
I was at BB last Feb with this same group of friends. While I was there I tried to get over to Sosua through BB. They said the dive shop would only arrange it if there were enough people interested in the day trip. The only other options were to take a taxi or public transportation. I passed.
This next trip I will have more time in DR. Was even thinking of staying a few days in Sosua. I know there is a dive shop there. I was thinking maybe there was something closer to BB.
Let me know how you do if you do make it diving.

Looks like the weather has cleared up just in time. Will be a lot of cloud tomorrow but little rain, if any at all.
How does FOD compare to Charli's. I used to go to Viking, but they closed for a number of reasons and have not been back since. Want to make a trip down to the DR in January and looking for some advice.
Baby rica vacaciones tu conmigo. En puesto plata why yo mucho chupar tu pene waooooooo love.
I do not know about you guys when big tittie 23 year old sends you this message it will make you smile. This girl has huge boobs and a great attitude.
What are the key elements in your mind, that must be firmly negotiated before going to the room?Someone already posted the basics.
WHAT do you want? (Anything unusual, etc) Also: Do expect BBBJ, or does / will she think differently?
TIME / FREQUENCY? Is one hour and one time all you want? Do you want two hours or more than once? Overnight? Then until when / price for same?
(Unless specified, it will be presumed, its one time and into the shower).
HOW MUCH? Obvious, but sometimes overlooked. If you have a threesome, how much for each girl for the time involved?
How does FOD compare to Charli's. I used to go to Viking, but they closed for a number of reasons and have not been back since. Want to make a trip down to the DR in January and looking for some advice.Check my post #6629 and several others preceding it.
FOD and BB are far more economical and better value for the money compared to the more high-budget places.
Such places tried to sell exclusivity, but overpaying is not a selling point in my book.
I acknowledge I never went to places like Vikings, etc. Due to the prices. I prefer Dominican women to the Europeans these places often imported.
Both FOD-BB have good amenities. BB has a larger jacuzzi, and I think, a point higher on the girl-looks scores.
FOD chicas seem slightly younger, and a little more "natural" (a little less makeup and dressed more casually).
You could flip a coin, as both are very similar in quality.
BB is more secluded in Costambar, FOD is more central, being across from Playa Dorada, halfway between Puerto Plata and airport / Sosua.

Want to make a trip down to the DR in January and looking for some advice.Yanqui69 has more or less covered it. I would say Blackbeards is nearer in style to the places you mention, as most guys go there to enjoy the in-house chicas only, of which they have a better selection than Field of Dreams, though a bit too "professional" for my personal taste. It is basically just a brothel.
Field of Dreams is better for those who want to venture out and find their own chicas, possibly semi-pros, but you will need some Spanish for this. It is not as good a brothel as Blackbeards but is also a motel for those not primarily interested in the in-house chicas. It is cheap, quick, and easy to get to Sosua from Field of Dreams. But if you liked Vikings you might not be interested in Sosua anyway.

If you visit our web site and click on Resort Plans (found under the Reservations tab on our main menu) , you will see what is included in that package. Simply put, the V. I. P. Plan is the same as our All Inclusive package but includes TWO (2) chicas for the entire 24 hours of each day (you can change daily if you want) as well as excursions that, in your case, would include a scuba diving trip.
If you desire more information, do not hesitate to contact me personally care of this forum or on the Field of Dreams web site.

What do you get at Mountain View. Is it chica friendly. Does it provide a refrigerator. I considering spending a night at FOD.

Hi All,
Will be at BBs from Nov 4-13 so anyone there give me a shout I will be the pasty white Canadian looking for some sun and lots of pussy LOL.

The place is great do not get me wrong. You would have way more variety in Sosua. 3 or4 days in BB then head to Sosua. You have a beach, casino and all the women you could ask for. Not to mention many Canadians. Instead of a hotel Brothel. You have a small town that is a brothel. Your biggest problem will be running out of leche.

This really is a well kept old hotel. Great beds, fridg, etc. My only complaint is that a room face the view is noisy from the hordes of motorbikes. Rates are very reasonable and chica friendly.

I've done searches on both sites listed below and have found no reviews. I'm wondering if anyone has any input on one or both. Honestly. They sem a little TGTBT. A bit of an investment to find a be&s waiting for you.

Hopefully I didn't just miss other posts about these places.
I will be the pasty white Canadian looking for some sun and lots of pussy LOL.Oh yeah, I would be able to find you for sure amongst all the other pasty white Canadians!:D
Check my post #6629 and several others preceding it.
FOD and BB are far more economical and better value for the money compared to the more high-budget places.
Such places tried to sell exclusivity, but overpaying is not a selling point in my book.
I acknowledge I never went to places like Vikings, etc. Due to the prices. I prefer Dominican women to the Europeans these places often imported.
Both FOD-BB have good amenities. BB has a larger jacuzzi, and I think, a point higher on the girl-looks scores.
FOD chicas seem slightly younger, and a little more "natural" (a little less makeup and dressed more casually).
You could flip a coin, as both are very similar in quality.
BB is more secluded in Costambar, FOD is more central, being across from Playa Dorada, halfway between Puerto Plata and airport / Sosua.Let's say I don't like the talent at Field of Dreams. Can you recommend any places in Puerto Plata that I can meet girls and bring them back to FOD. Is Crystal's night club the only place, or are there other places you can recommend. I couldn't find answers on this forum.

Anyone who states that they do not like any of the talent at the Field of Dreams has not been there lately. We have been importing new girls on a regular basis and have a new face or two every week. Something that we will continue to do throughout the year. By rotating our stock of talent we can assure everyone that no matter what your taste, you will find at least one or two chicas who fit your specific needs. I suggest to anyone who questions the quality of our inventory to come on down and at least take a quick look. I promise you that you will be surprised at the changes over the last month or two.

It depends what sort of chicas you are looking for and how much you want to spend (not just paying them but on taxis, restaurants, drinks, etc). Very expensive to take girls out of Cristal. Most mongers who know what they are doing arrange to meet outside their working hours, but be aware only a minority at Cristal have much freedom in the daytime as the rest are like indented labor.
For professional putas there are several bars with working girls but the standard is generally low, certainly no better than Field of Dreams or Blackbeards because the same girls rotate round all these places over the months and years) , but you can usually find at least one diamond in the rough.
For semi-pros (by which I mean chicas who don't venture out in the evenings to find paying clients but won't turn down your cash if they like you) there are several bars your side of the city along Avenida Luis Ginebra, of which the most frequented is El Furgon and, if you can dance the local dances (bachata and merengue) a number of dance-halls on the opposite (western) side of the city.
For non-pros, the same bars and dance-halls in the evening, plus public places in the daytime like Parque Central, the Malecon, and the big shopping stores like La Sirena and Jimenez. Hard to pick-up non-pros and even harder to get them back to Field of Dreams unless you have at least some of the following advantages: young (under 35) , good-looking, smartly dressed (or what Dominicans consider that) , good Spanish, nice car, big spender.
Hillybilly69 always works the tourist spots and it works for him, but I have always heard that the chicas there are either too picky or too demanding. That would make sense as they have a captive market of tourists who are frightened to venture away from the campus and don't know shit so they think if they pick up a woman under 35 for US$100 they have got a bargain.
If you have to resort to asking a local tout to find you chicas you are sinking pretty low as a monger. I would stay as far away from that scum as possible. You will just end up paying double for what you could find yourself for nothing, and it could be physically dangerous if he takes you anywhere off the beaten track.
Finally, if all else fails, you are only a 25 minute and US$1 ride away from Sosua. (That is one of Field of Dreams' advantages over Blackbeards). I spent a total of five months at the old Field of Dreams when it had no in-house chicas. At first I would regularly go to Sosua at night to find women and meet my friends but by later trips I knew my way round the local area and have had little to do with full-time putas or Sosua since those early days.

I never bothered correcting your lost brother Jaosousa about the discos there because I let you guys take your turns argueing.LOL If Henry can't walk the beach and pick up chics this weekend I
agree he should take a direct bus to Santo Domingo and start giving out Bebe shirts and scooters to mediocre looking chicas.

It is probably easier and more practical to run down to Sosua than to hunt for chicas in Puerto Plata, more so since many chicas from Puerto Plata will go down to Sosua at night to look for a man. Of course you could always try to intercept them by hunting at the taxi stand outside the public hospital where the night taxis to Sosua depart, but I think it would make more sense just to go to Sosua. If you have decent Spanish you can wander about anywhere in the day time and smile at any woman who takes your fancy and see if they respond. Helps if you are reasonably well dressed and prosperous looking. Car a definite plus.

Success depends even more on who the girl is, most likely. Rich & educated girls take a lot more work than poor one. Pretty & slim & light skin harder. Younger definitely harder (except some gullible teens maybe). You get a big bonus with single mums though.
Harder of all is to know when to go for a girl's heart, or when to go for her lust, or when to go for her cupidity. So much about timing.
Enjoying every minute of it, so far. Will report back in a few days of course.

Will be in the DR in January and thinking about staying at Blackbeards. Can anyone weigh in on the prices and whether, in their opionion, it would be a worth it.
Also, how far is it to Sosua, in case I get bored at Blackbeards. They told me at Blackbeards it a 5 minute cab ride.
Thank you.

Thank you.The room rates are on their web site, chica prices are 1600 pesos for the hour, thats around $40 give or take a dollar or two and all night is 3000 pesos thats a few dollars shy of $80. From BB to Sosua is more like 20 to 30 minutes and the cab far there and back is $60. There are plenty of hot chicas at BB more than enough to go around and they will be on you like white on rice.

Also, how far is it to Sosua, in case I get bored at Blackbeards. They told me at Blackbeards it a 5 minute cab ride.Yes, about 5 minutes with a cautious driver. Other options to relieve boredom would be Santiago (10 minutes) and Santo Domingo (15 minutes). If you have 30 minutes to spare you could pop over to Cuba.
Just joking. I think you must have misunderstood because I don't believe Blackbeards would have told you any such thing. Sosua is 35 minutes by cab and it is an expensive ride. You could get two ST chicas for the return taxi fare.
Why are you staying somewhere where you think you might get bored even before you arrive? If you are the claustrophobic type you would be better staying at Field of Dreams. Much easier, cheaper and quicker to get off campus to Sosua, Puerto Plata and other places. Or if you are used to Pattaya, you might be happier staying in Sosua itself. Only 1% as many women as Pattaya, but still ten times as many as there are at Blackbeards or Field of Dreams.
There is another guy currently posting called Henry R (which is how Henry V would have signed his name). I got you two confused for a moment.

Thank you.I'll be there at Blackbeard's on Nov 25 for two nights, then to Sosua for two nights. Really looking forward to it. From what I can see in photos of both places, I like only about 25% of the chicas but I'm sure that will be more than enough for me!

Thank you.BB's is a great place and I highly recommend, if its your first trip no way you get bored! You will not want to leave. The staff and girls are awesome, the place is like the old show Cheers. Although many here may disagree, then again I see Americans taking what I would consider crazy risks, Sosua is a thrill and addictive but there is a ton more that can go wrong. Read a ton about Sosua, and get some advice. BB's you can just jump right in.
I always spend a couple days in BB and a few in Sosua. I personally like the beach in Cabarete so I usually rent a condo in Cabarete but I always rent a car. So I either pick something up in Cabarete or drive to Sosua which is like 15 minutes and grab something there. BB is a great safe place. Very little can go wrong there and staff and guest are usually a lot of fun. Sosua can be a pain the ass if your not on your game.

BB's you can just jump right in.I like the idea that BB's is safe and minimal drama but apart from my time with the girls, I'm not sure what else there is to do there except chill out. I'm a diver so at least when I go to Sosua, I'll be able to spend a morning or afternoon in the ocean. I'm not much of a drinker so I'm probably not going to spend much time in the bar in between girls.
If the pool water is not too cold, then I'll probably do some laps in the mornings and then spend the rest of the time with a good book. That's why I'm spending only 2 nights there. It will be the quiet nights too (Sunday and Monday).
There is a casino nearby, you would have to take a cab. I also took a chica and did a atv adventure which was really alot of fun. They pick you up right at bb, its a real fun time. The pool water will definitely not be cold unless it rains a lot. Theres also a pool table. The girls are all around the place so you won't have to sit around the bar. Also the ocean / beach is only a short walk. I also like to take a girl out at night to dinner instead of hanging at BB. They enjoy getting out of there for awhile.

It got to a point that I was fucking to kill time and it became work very soon. There is a great beach nearby but that's it. I rented a car and made my way to sousa which is way more fun.

Folks it is a two storey motel with rooms facing one side, a pool, a restaurant with a bar in the same area, and a room with a pool table.

Hi Guys.
Anybody could give me an idea about nice, girlfriendly, maybe litlle upscale hotel / resort in puerto plata?Lomar is probably your best bet or you can stay at Puerto Plata Beach Club where the prices have come down recently, I believe. Neither is very upscale in terms of the rooms, but Lomar is well situated opposite a public beach and close to everything. Beach Club rooms are a bit nicer and has nice pool and landscaped grounds. The downside is that neither have much in the way of onsite restaurants, so you probably need to get food elsewhere. I don't know of anything else in the city that matches the description upscale, and at least both of these are beachfront properties, which is generally considered worth something. Portofino in Long Beach is another possibility. Not actually on the beach (though not far away) and no views. Has good restaurant and small pool. Rooms nothing to get excited about though. You could stay at Beach Club and eat at Portofino.

All the places you list are one step down from that. There is no gringo-standard chica-friendly hotel in Pto Pta city. The nearest would be Field of Dreams which is a couple of miles outside, but very cheap and easy to get into town. Downside with Field of Dreams is, if the OP wanted to shack up with a non-pro, she might be put off by the putas hanging on the premises and those awful murals. Otherwise it would be his best bet.
If he wants to eat "slightly upscale" as well there are better restaurants than Portofino, though more expensive (La Tarrappa, Las Palmas, or Taste).

Likewise, Field of Dreams is a one storey motel with the same shit minus the restaurant.Just to clarify, Field of Dreams does have a restaurant, similar pricing and standard to Blackbeards. Maybe Mr Enternational means that at Blackbeards there is a separate area set aside for dining whereas at Field of Dreams diners have to sit in one or other of the two areas with tables, one near the bar, the other under the pergola.

Sousa has a place no doubt but BB's is a blast and Sousa doesn't change that for many of us. Think about all the returning customers BB's has shows its a good time.
Not sure how fucking became work, odd comment, if your not fucking in Sousa what are you doing that is so exciting and by the way Sousa is pretty calm during the day.
I agree BB is boring after 2 days. You have all dedicated putas. Sosua has variety and numbers. Variety is all types of women full time pros and girls week end tricking. It is a different experience in my opinion. Most of the time the girls at BB seem bored and disinterested. In sosua you have the illusion of hunting. BB is point and click. I guess it comes down to personal prference. For me it is not close Classicos, the beach and the variety of women it is not close.

Exactly my point, he said he wasnt a drinker and really didn't want to be stuck in the bar between two girls. The place is small and the girls are all around. Pool, bar area, restaurant area. A lot of fun for everyone.

This Blackbeards versus Sosua debate has been going on for at least the seven years I have been a member here. It sometimes turns abusive and rarely throws up anything new. I don't know why grown men have to form two opposing gangs like playground juveniles. (Three gangs if Field of Dreams is added to the mix).
All three venues are different, all have advantages and downsides the others don't have. What the enquirer and those responding to him should be concentrating on is what exactly he is looking for, what sort of budget he has, and what assets or weaknesses he has.
A guy who speaks Spanish and is looking for semi-pros or non-pros would be ill-advised to stay at Blackbeards. But for a guy who cannot speak a word of Spanish and is a newbie monger it would be a safe choice. If you want semi-pros and don't need your hand held, Field of Dreams is ideal, but a bad choice if you want to take non-pros back there as a respectable girl (or more likely a girl who wants to appear respectable) would be embarrassed by the putas and tacky murals.
If you want haitianas you won't find many, if any, at Blackbeards or Field of Dreams. If you are not confident negotiating, avoid Sosua unless you want to take the easy and expensive option of Passions, or the chicas will take you to the cleaners.
And so on. These are just a few of dozens of criteria. Swimmer? Golfer? Diver? Latin dancer? Hiring a car? These are all factors which should influence your choice of location. It is stupid to say that one place is better than another unless the enquirer has spelled out his requirements. We are lucky to have all these locations. The more of them which survive the more prices are kept reasonable and the more chicas are attracted to the area to work. Instead of libelling them we should be supporting them all, but gently pointing out their strong and weak points.
It is funny how often when I hear mongers attacking one or other location I later find out that they have had a bad experience there and are generalizing on the strength of that. Often, though not always, they have been at fault themselves but because they feel humiliated they will go on bad-mouthing the place for years afterwards.
Each has it own good points. For me bb is training wheel. Point and click. The women are ok but are very similar as management has weight rules. If you speak no spanish this is a great option. Now speaking Spanish affords you the ability to negotiate with Sosua chicas. This can be big fun. After one time in BB I had no desire to go back. It was fish in a barrel. Sosua is fish in a lake. The more you do the Dr the more you want challenges. Semi and non pros are te gold standard. That is what I shoot for now. I have time to invest in my hobby many guys do not. I can talk on line and practice speaking Spanish.

If I had more time, I would certainly throw FOD into the mix. I will likely include FOD for at least 1-2 nights for a future trip, again, to sample each offering.
However, no matter how much I will end up liking DR, I will probably not return anytime that soon since I do like to travel the world, particularly places that I've never been to. So many different countries, cultures and girls to experience. And I won't go to a place just for the girls either. There would have to be at least one other interesting activity such as diving (Caribbean or Costa Rica) , temples (Thailand) , museums (Berlin) , etc.
Brothers,
We are looking for inexpensive hotels that give us good service and do not ask too many questions. Now your suggestions are always greatly appreciated, but remember we are mongers first and we are looking for any discounts we can get. Short time hotels and all nighters that give us great service. So brothers tell us the hidden spots that we know nothing about, but you had a great experience.

It shouldn't be more than 100 pesos for a drink and that way you won't wonder later on whether you missed out on anything or not.

You might want to reconsider bringing your gear with you. Each to his own but sounds like a lot of hard work. I know nothing about diving but I know the diving in Sosua is not particularly good. If you have dived at good spots around the world you may be disappointed. And it would only take a couple of days of the wrong weather and it would all be for nothing. Now if you were staying two weeks it would be different. You could pick your diving days, swap notes with other divers, learn the best spots, etc, etc. And get good value for the effort of bringing your gear. Let us know how it all works out for the benefit of other would-be divers.

I'm in Canada so to me (and a LOT of other divers up here) , any diving in the warm waters of the Caribbean would be better than what we have here in Ontario! And like with other sports, once you use your own gear, you just don't want to use rental gear anymore. I'll see if I might be able to compromise and bring only the smaller stuff that are more personal (mask, wetsuit) and leave the bigger items at home (fins, etc.).
I'll also have to monitor the weather but as long as the boats can go out, say in light rain, the dives are generally a go. Only when there is rough waves and wind will dives be cancelled.
If it ends up with storms, I understand that BBs might actually be the best place to stay put rather than be in Sosua.

I would just leave the gear at home and use the shop's. When I absolutely need to bring my gear, I keep my dive bag at 50 lbs to avoid oversize charges. And that is only my main gear. I keep my light, batteries, camera, strobe, and laptop in my backpack that I will carry-on. And put my clothes in those Space Bags and carry them in one of those Walmart cloth recycle bags with the handles. I know what a b it is to carry all that s around. It's really not worth it bringing it to DR. I don't even wear a wetsuit there, just swim trunks and a mesh Nike shirt. I recommend bringing only mask, dive computer, camera and fins if need be.

A friend and I will be in Puerto Plata December 5. 9 (4 nights). We have reservations at the New Garden; but that's all we've done so far! We've both traveled to Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, Medellin, etc. So the "Art" of pooning is understood. What I do not know is the "lay of land" in PP and where we might find the best action in BOTH the AM and the evening hours. Also, what are the rates I should anticipate for short term and Overnight? Which are preferred for payment: DR Pesos or US Dollars? Any other intel is greatly appreciated; apologies in advance for all the questions; when it comes to PP most of the detailed dialogue seems to focus on Blackbeards. If any of you guys are around, it's always great to hook up for a brewski and to swap lies! Also. If any need info on Pattaya, Rio, Tijuana, Nogales, etc. Reach out! FYI.

Dominican pesos should be used for all sexual transactions and you might pay from 1000 to 2000 pesos for short time, and about 3000 for overnight. You will find willing girls mostly from 6 pm to about 3:00 a. M. In any of the bars close to the New Garden Hotel. Just walk around and you will find them, or rather they will find you. There is not so much in the daytime, except there are a few massage parlors open from about 9:00 a. M. Where you can get a quick blow job or shag, if you so desire. Try Rosa's Salon, close by the Elefante Rosso Italian restaurant. You may also find some girls at Sosua Beach in the daytime at the bars and restaurants there. If in doubt whether a girl is available for fun, just smile and see where that gets you. In the afternoons La Passion brothel is also open for business.

Blackbeards is in a section of Puerto Plata. If you are staying at New Garden then you are not going to be in Puerto Plata. New Garden is in Sosua. Try that thread for your specific questions but be sure to READ THE FUCKING FORUM before asking shit that has already been discussed ad nauseum.
Which are preferred for payment: DR Pesos or US Dollars?If you are an experienced traveler then you should know that you always do things in the local currency. If you are trying to conduct transactions in foreign currency then you are ripping yourself off and asking to be ripped off. So do not let the word "dollar" come out of your mouth during your trip unless it is at a time when you are exchanging currency and asking what the rate is or paying your hotel bill. Being a Tijuana veteran you should know that the street girls will ask for 200 pesos or $20. You will come out better paying 200 pesos because it is equal to $15.30 and if you paid in dollars you just gave away $4.70.

Hotel El Colibri is in completely the wrong place, and there are several errors on the map. For example Latino Minimarket is shown as "Latino's Pharmacy" and the Metro Bus Line terminus as "Metro Tours". There are also other mistakes. The most hilarious is that Casa Marina is shown to be located behind La Passion (shown on the map as "Passions") at the wrong end of Sosua and nowhere near the beach.

Hillbilly and Frannie. Thanks for Bearing with me and not jumping my case; Enternational. Although your information is appreciated your tone is, well, grab a beer and chill just a little. I did not book the hotel; my wingman did and he thought it was is Puerto Plata (thus I did as well). Having never been to the DR, I was clueless. So, now that I have my bearings straight, I will read the Sousa forum. As for Peso vs. Dollar, many LatAm countries are somewhat interchangeable with the dollar and their own currency, especially in areas heavily frequented by touristas. Also, in some of these countries the dollar has been "preferred" and often times you received a better "exchange rate" for services when paying in dollars. I now know that this isn't the case in the DR. To All: I will provide a trip report on this site once I return state-side. Thanks again for your help here.

Wrapping up another good trip to Barba Negra! I've got my last chica coming at 9. The girls were fun, and I got great BBBJ from all my picks! I think they've been sharing tips or something lmao! Some new faces and old favoritas! Black Beards consistently satisfys, its like a snickers! LOL! I'm headed down to Cabarete for my last 3 days, I just want to try something different. Later bros!
Just got back from BB's, not much I can say that hasn't been said before and on my many past visits. Like always the girls were great and Tim, Cliff and Martha and the rest of the staff were awesome like always. I got to see many old friends that I have made and kept in contact with over the years. The one difference this time was the Birthday party BB's put together. I don't know John and I see he posted below but I must say he did a terrific job with what I assume had to be a significant bit of out of pocket expense. He provided a free dinner buffet for everyone there including the girls. He also brought in a professional dance show for our entertainment. Although I am not sure I think I saw the girls with tickets they could turn in for free drinks. So not only did he hook his customers up he also knew keeping the girls happy was important. I finished the night by partying in my room with 2 great girls all night while we cleaned out the refrig of beer, coke and rum. LOL! Since your reading here. Thanks John, you deserve a lot of credit I can't think of a better way to spend a Thursday night in Nov.

I wasn't there since the beginning, but BB is really great place and it becomes better and better.
Free anniversary dinner was really nice of John. Staff, chicas and guests really enjoyed dinner, John's trip down memory lane and festivities! Professional dance show which happened for a first time was even better with some short, but funny dances of management and mamasans. There was also a great group dance performed by many chicas. I hope professional dance show will become a new tradition, just like bikini contest. I only wish more chicas involvement next time.
I understand that professional dance show is out of pocket expense for the hotel, but maybe Mildred (named new Special Events Coordinator in one of newsletters) may organize something similar.
Chicas and food were great, as always during my stay.
Congratulations to John, Martha, Monica and rest of the crew!

My first DR adventure started with a ridiculously early 4:30 am check-in at the Toronto airport (since I was connecting through Newark as part of my flights on points). I probably only got 4 hours of sleep before heading out. By the time I got to Puerto Plata at about 2 pm local time, I was zonked. But the arrival process as reported by others, was relatively smooth.
Arrival At The Airport
There was the local band that welcomed the passengers even though they sounded like they were playing an endless loop rather than an actual tune. The first line up was for the $10 US Tourist card with two windows available for payments. I had my two $5 US bills ready (including one which had part of a corner ripped off so I hid that one behind the full bill hoping the gal wouldn't catch it. She didn't). Immediately after you get your paper slip receipt (rather than a real card) , there's free rum shots next to the Tourist card windows. I didn't bother since there were already several passengers lined up for the free booze and I wanted to get out of there.
A guy then collected the tourist card portion right before the immigration checkpoint. I was wearing my glasses because of the long flights and my passport photo does not have me wearing any. This apparently caused a problem for the immigration officer as he called for another of his team to verify. They both kept comparing my face to that of the photo and I finally decided to help them out by removing my glasses. Then they promptly stamped my passport but didn't even say one word to me throughout. Not even a simple 'welcome' to Dominican Republic which I thought was kind of cold.
My checked luggage was already on the conveyor belt and outside where the taxi drivers were waiting to get business, I spotted the guy holding a Blackbeard's Resort sign with my last name on it. We went over to his parked minivan and started heading out to Costambar, where Blackbeard's is located.
The trip is pretty far out and a good 30 minutes as we went through Puerto Plata. I was kind of shocked at all the motoconchos buzzing around everywhere and I saw only one guy wearing a helmet. No other riders and their passengers, including small kids, wore any helmets. Some bikes had what seemed to be an entire family onboard. Disasters waiting to happen.
The gates at Costambar were pretty far into the side road into that area so in hindsight, I don't think it would have been practical at all with my checked luggage, to use a cheap publico (the real cheap, crowded shared taxis the locals use) route to get there. Immediately after getting through the gates, I saw Jenny's market on the right side. I also saw a small pharmacy (called a farmacia locally) across the street with the words Viagra, Cialis and Levitra boldly painted on the wall!
Arrival To Blackbeard's
Once at Blackbeard's, the driver took me to reception where we were met by Tim, one of the gringo managers there. After Tim went through the lowdown on the resort and the process with the girls, I paid for the two nights stay at $70 each night for a standard room as well as the $45 US transfer from the POP airport. I also changed $300 US into DR pesos as Tim claimed that they were offering a rate around 38 better than the bank rate of 40. So the check-in was pretty efficient although I would have felt better if the initial online reservation with my credit card was done over a secure webpage which they didn't have.
It was already about 3 pm on the Sunday afternoon and things were really quiet at the resort. I saw maybe only 6 girls in bikinis sitting around a table near the pool, a group of four guys having lunch sitting at another table and that was all. Of course, the girls were already eyeing me like fresh prey!
My room on the second floor was okay, clean and comfortable with a large step-in shower. The bed was comfortable enough. They provided soap but no shampoo so if you don't want to use soap for washing your hair, you need to bring your own shampoo. A key lockbox was inside the closet for security. For some reason, there was a full length mirror in my room which I thought was probably more useful for the chicas than the guests. Since I had so little sleep the night before, I wanted to catch up and nap for the rest of the afternoon.
After a short nap, I was finally ready for action. Went downstairs to scope out the place which turned out to be quite straight forward. All the guest rooms faced the pool area. On the opposite side was the reception which was next to a pool table room, a small lobby area with free internet computer (which worked great) , a bar area and an outdoor restaurant / dining area. Everything was pretty compact so when you look at the photos on their website, you have to realize that the place in real life is not that big.
There is a stairway that went up to the another bar area / dance floor where they have the contests and it's pretty nice although they are in use only Thursday to Saturday nights. There is a separate, hidden large jacuzzi which allows nudity but I never saw it being used once during my stay.
The Girls
The girls mainly hung out either at poolside tables or the open air bar area. They never really went inside the dining area unless accompanied by a guest (which I never saw happen except the odd time for breakfast when a guest treated a chica he had for an all-nighter). Maybe this was a rule they had to follow by the resort as to not bother the guests during their meals or something.
In the pool table room, there were two girls playing there and I recognized one of them from the photos in the Blackbeard's newsletter. It was a little 20 year old spinner named Madelyn, who immediately greeted me. I decided that she would be my first at Blackbeard's.
She met me at my room after she went back to the girls' changing room to get some things. They apparently use their own towel rather than any of your own room towels. She asked me to shower first then she proceeded to have her's. Then it was action time. After a nice first session, I left the standard 1, 600 pesos on her purse while she showered again. Spent a bit of time talking. With a combo of my broken Spanish and her broken English. It was quite pleasant. She even did some dancing for me as she was in no rush to leave right away.
The way the DR girls dance is interesting. They do some nice curvy moves but if you catch some of the videos online, they also do this thing where they squat down and do this rapid ass vibration thing. They probably think this is sexy but in my honest opinion, I think this particular move looks more funny than sensual. But that's just my opinion.
After my session with Madelyn, I filled out a comment slip that Tim requested the guests to do on each girl we session with. I actually had Madelyn write her name at the top beforehand so I got her name right and even told her that I would do a nice writeup for her. She appreciated this. The whole session maybe lasted about an hour even though the room info binder stated 1 to 2 hours for 1, 600 pesos but after you come (which they call a leche) , the action is considered done. But in no way did I ever feel rushed during the sessions there.
The evening shift of about 20 to 30 girls came in about 6 pm while I was having my dinner. I did have initial worries that I wouldn't like any of the girls in DR and although there were girls that were a bit on the chunky side for my taste, there were enough slimmer ones which I prefer, like Madelyn. So it seems that earlier reports that there will usually be something for each guy's taste rings true. I was quite relieved by this. I didn't end up taking any girls for my first evening since I was just too tired but I did see a few I would like for the next evening.
On Monday, there were no girls available until they day shift started trotting in around noon. It was raining on and off the entire day so the bikinis were gone replaced by just street clothes (as explained to me by Madelyn). There were more girls in this day shift compared to Sunday. Some guys seemed to be taking their first girl for the day during the early parts of the afternoon. But activity overall during the day seemed to be quite low key with not much happening.
I found it kind of interesting that the DR girls seem to just hate getting their hair wet from the rain, even if just drizzles. They will wear these hair shower caps outside and even use umbrellas to take a few steps from the bar to their change room or to another room. It must be cultural since a local scuba operator later told me that DR girls tend to wash their hair only once per week and at the salons too among some other quirks they have. Not surprisingly, most tend to be non-swimmers.
For the daytime on Monday, I decided to have Madelyn again since I wanted to see if a repeat session with a chica would be any different and at least with Madelyn, it was. She was more aware of what I liked and didn't like this time around. After the action, she danced in my room some more and even gave me a quick lesson on how to dance the bachatta.
During the evening, I almost chose the mamasan on duty by mistake until I suddenly realized who she was when she asked me why I haven't taken a girl yet for the evening. And yes, she would have been my first choice if she was available! There were a few girls who approached me with a lot of hands feeling me up and this kind of aggressive attitude actually turned me off a bit especially since they tended to be the ones I had no interest in (too chunky, etc.). But I'll soon learn that this would be nothing compared to the aggression of the Sosua girls later on in my trip. By about 11 pm after some nice chatting with the other guys at the bar area, I decided on a slim quiet chica named Chanel.
Chanel turned out to be a real sweetheart and I enjoyed my session with this 22 year old lady who had legs that seemed to go on forever. I was keeping some feedback from other reports in mind that sometimes the aggressive girls do not provide that great service while the quieter ones usually do.
During this time, there were way more girls than guests so I would imagine that for both the daytime and evening shifts, many if not most of the girls, would walk away without earning any pesos. I heard as a rumour that some of them went over to another club in Costambar after the midnight Blackbeard's bar closing. I think I walked by it on the way to Jenny's as there was an apartment / motel complex that did have a pool and open air bar area with a few guys sitting around.
The Surrounding Area
I decided to take a walk outside to check out the beach and it was a quick 3 minute walk after turning left outside Blackbeard's and a quick right. The beach itself was crap. Full of pebbles and some litter. Not much was happening at all there. The weather was nice though at this time of year. Not too hot and not too cold but more on this later.
I did see a few open air restaurants but none seemed to be open. In general, there wasn't really anything interesting in the immediate area. Jenny's is an easy 10 minute walk from Blackbeard's. After exiting the resort, go right, then turn right at the first street, then left then right again on the main road towards the Costambar gates. I looked around inside Jenny's but didn't buy anything. I did pick up a few tabs of generic Cialis at the small farmacia across from Jenny's just in case. This was the place where they had Viagra, Cialis and Levitra painted on the wall. They were selling for 50 pesos per tab and I would imagine that they get business from not only the Blackbeard's guests, but also the many reported ex-pats who live in the area. Keep in mind that you have to ask for the generic versions since this farmacia also carries the trade name versions for much higher prices. I was first shown a box of trade name Cialis (4 tabs) for 1375 pesos. Blackbeard's also sell what they call 'Vitamin V and C' generics but at slightly higher prices than what the farmacia charges.
The Restaurant
The food was well priced with breakfast at about 235 to 250 pesos and dinner at 400 to 500. I skipped lunch during this trip for some reason but they had lunch fare there like burgers. The meals I did have there were quite good. I had a surf and turf for my first dinner and a smoked pork chop for my other. Both were really tasty and another thing worth noting is that the ice in the drinks were fine and safe. I ended up eating all my meals onsite while I was there.
I took two bottles of water from my room minibar fridge for 40 pesos each. Gatorade was available at 80 pesos a bottle in the room too as well as potato chips, soft drinks and some rum but I didn't take anything else.
My Only Issues With Blackbeard's
During my first evening which was the Sunday, I was still a bit tired from travel and the lack of sleep. Instead of taking on another girl as planned, I decided to catch up on more needed sleep. This itself turned into a bit of a problem for me since the bar area plays continuous loud music during the evening which I heard from my room. If one wanted to nap in the afternoon, there was too much noise from the onsite maintenance staff. Then the evening bar music went on all night that made napping after dinner difficult too. It was only at midnight when things closed down did the music stop and I was finally able to get some real sleep.
If possible, I would like to get a room that is less noisy since I'm use to the quiet Montreal hotel rooms where I have my time with the outcall girls there each year. But as I'll find out later, Sosua would be even noisier.
Because of it's remote location in Costambar, Blackbeard's is quite a quaint resort. However, especially when it rains, there really is nothing else to do at Blackbeard's between sessions with the girls. So guys I talked to were ending up spending a lot of time inside their rooms reading or watching TV. Good thing I brought a book to read.
Tim already confirmed that no scuba tours were available since the local operator in Puerto Plata was not willing to come pick up divers, especially in my case, a single diver. For me personally, I found the 'off-time' quite boring. Even with a walk down to Jenny's, I still had hours to waste.
I might return to Blackbeard's since the system with the girls and meals are quite easy as well as drama free but I would not want to stay for more than say a few days at a time. If they could get a scuba operator willing to pick up there, it would make a big difference for me since there's nothing during the mornings there to do.
I would try a Thursday to Saturday though to catch the evening contest entertainment though as the feedback I got from the other guys was good for these. Another option is to try Field of Dreams for comparison next trip too. I do like the overall concept if a few improvements can be done. But even with that, I'm not sure if I would be willing to spend an entire week there yet.
The transits to and from Blackbeard's are a ripoff in my opinion. I needed to transfer to Sosua for the other half of my DR trip and this would have cost me at least 1, 700 pesos or about $55. Fortunately, I got a free ride from a local scuba operator based in Sosua.
I'll have a report on the Sosua portion of my trip soon in that section.

The mosquitoes were biting at night in the lobby / bar / restaurant areas. Bring bug spray (Blackbeard's sells spray too at the bar).

On the issue of hair, well, most Dominicanas are Black. And as Black people our hair is not naturally oily like White people because we didn't need that feature in tropics of the Motherland as the Whites needed it in the frigid areas of Europe. And since it is not oily then we don't need to wash it everyday as White people do. Washing too often will actually harm our hair. As we know fashion is dictated by people of European decent and part of fashion is hair. To obtain hair as a White person, Black women have to process it with lye in order to make their naturally curly hair straight and add extensions to make it longer. It is not that they are afraid to get their hair wet, but water fucks up processed hair. So you won't come out with a Bo Derek 10, but a Color Purple Oprah Winfrey.
Here is part of an article that explains it a little better:
". And chlorine, which is an acidic chemical and has ions that are part of common salt, works against the relaxer, an alkaline. If not properly cared for, hair can break or even shed. A cynic or person of non-African background might suggest that these women not chemically relax their hair. They could wear it natural and short and swim all they want. Unfortunately for black women, the issue of the appearance of our hair goes waaaaaay deeper than that.
Having long straight hair has been a standard of beauty for European women for centuries. White women have even been known to use everything from flat irons to blow dryers to attain the straight look that was believed to be more manageable and controllable — the way a lady of society should be.
And at no time (in my opinion) were the rules of society more restrictive than during the Victorian era / antebellum America.
A woman's hair was considered her 'crowing glory' and was never supposed to be cut. African-American women by contrast, have a tighter curl, often called 'kinky, ' that doesn't grow long. Mostly because it doesn't need to.
Trichology, the study of hair, says the purpose of those strands on someone's head is to protect the scalp from the sun. Hawkins says Europeans tend to secrete much more natural oil in their hair than people of African descent, making the hair heavier and holding more heat close to the scalp. Those natural oils, Hawkins says, also make the hair stand up better to the the stripping conditions of pool or sea water.
Everyone has to wash their hair after swimming. But if you're black it's probably more urgent that you wash it immediately and condition it as well. And this does not include the time it may take to re-style it to what ever look you had before jumping in the water.
It's easy to see how this much time and energy can be unappealing to a kid whose mom may have just paid $60 to $100 to get it done in the first place."

Thanks for the report bro.
Ell, arrived on a Saturday in Santiago after about 14 hours in a plane and different airports. FOD send me a driver and we had an interesting trip back to PP. The roads were washed out in two places, were we had to wait for the fire department hose down the streets to wash down the mud. Meanwhile I had the chance to watch, experience the people of the DR for the first time (being my frist trip here). They are the friendlist people I have met, easy to cut each other off, honk and wave a hand or a fist, then laugh together a minute later. A stranger from the car in front of me offering snacks while we all were waiting in the rain. Amazing people. Great bunch!
It took a while to get FOD, but once I arrived at the "hacienda", I was very excited. Noticed immediately some chica head's perking up seeing a gringo with suitcases to arrive, and I was getting in the "mood". Paid the taxi, then got checked into my room by one of the partners and time to unpack and get a shower and cleaned up. Room is small, and those awful frescas or whatever we want to call those wall paintings make the room look cheesy and very small due to its using dark paints. A little depressing. But I already knew about the "artwork", also not here for the rooms, so time to play.
By this time it was already very late afternoon. So, the plan was to eat some local cuisine and then. Some local desert. So I asked for the menu, and I was disappointed to see a menu that was basically non-latin: italian and american items only. So I asked for the chef and asked what he would recommend for me to try aka experience. Pasta Carbonara. Not impressed. Oh well, not here for the food, even though dining is one of my favorite pastimes. (All the other dishes I ordered very equally average at best, but the two cooks working there were friendly and eager to please)
Chicas.
Day 1.
So I got targetted by one girl, big boned, but the face reminded of Janet Jackson. She kept smiling while I was eating, so instead of choking on the remainder of my dish, I invited her (B.) over. In the process I noticed her friend (M1) next to her smiling up a storm and a little disappointed of being left out, so I invited her over too. Now M1 was not my type, but once she got to the table her personality was great, while my first choice, Ms B stopped smiling and just sat back.
After getting them some food, the talk turned to if I was interested in a massage by them two. Now, I was not in the mood for a two-some, I wanted to hook up with B only. But they insisted no strings attached, just go back to my room, both will give me a massage and I could choose then. OKAY, noob mistake ONE! I agreed. I really thought massage first, but no, M1 got me on the bed, started kissing, while B disrobed and got in the shower. Then M1 got in the shower while B did the kissing part, but she turned. Cold. The first couple minutes she appeared to enjoy it, but then distanced herself and let M1 take over. Well, a little while it was all over, and then I realized I just did noob mistake TWO. We never discussed price! Oh yeah, I was told about tariff and propina and no negotiation over the price after the deed. After a couple minutes, I gave myself a mental note (this is my DR bootcamp, noob) and paid their fee. And yeah I was pissed, more at me, then at them.
Day 2.
In the afternoon I arranged a taxi ride into Puerto Plato to drop by Novia Scotia bank. Taxi gave another guest a ride to the dentist at the same time, and I spend a little over an hour in the taxi waiting for the dentist to finish. Of course the cabbie charged us both full price LOL. Second night I met the half Dominican / Haitian, great gal by the name of M2, and she offered me a "massage" too. Now that I knew what that meant, I asked for the price and she quoted $100. 00. You want a 100 pesos I replied, and she laughed and said US dollar."Sorry, only pesos on me. 3000 pesos for all night? She agreed." I might graduate boot camp yet; p.
Got her in the room. We had some good fun, except this is now the second night in a row where the girls start moaning really badly, and it was so badly done that it turned me off. When I dealt with moaners before, I always gave the girls the benefit of the doubt that it might be real. But so far the DR chicas are not convincing at all LOL. Anyways, early morning, M2 jumps in the shower getting ready for round 2! Ok LOL.
Day 3
The wfi and TV are all on satellite here, so when it was raining which it did a lot the first two days, I was cut off. The food was average, and the place was slowly getting smaller for me. I was getting stir crazy. Option of spending money on the cab did not seem enticing, so I decided to try carro publico to Sosua to scout out some hotels in that town LOL. Great experience! LOL First day I got charged the gringo rate of 100 pesos each way, but then I dropped to 50 pesos to eventually 45 pesos. Got a massage from a haitian in sosua with the most awesome body I have seen. Amazing.
Returned to the hotel, and hung out at the bar. M2 asked me if I will spend the night solo, and I said yeah, I was a little tired.
Day 4.
I started looking forward to checking out the following day, when I met this two girls Y1 and Y2. After some hanging out in the patio area, they started the "do you want a massage from both of us". Been there, done that, pass. Now, one of those two really had my attention: quiet, but the most amazing smile, and some very nice curves. I told Y2 I am sorry, but I would like to spend some time with Y1. No attitude, she was fine with it. So, Y1 spend the next days with me (I extended my stay at FOD for another night; p). I was real glad I met her. No fake moans, it was the real thing, at least she had me convinced; p
Conclusion:
Now, some stuff about FOD. This is my first time I ever stayed at a casa like hotel. This place is jack of all trades master of none. Hotel, restaurant, bar, and chicas. Their main income I think is the bar itself. As a hotel guest, it felt relaxing to be there, but after a few days you realize there is not much too do, and I start feeling a little trapped. The beach close to FOD, over at playa dorado, is long and a nice beach, but completely deserted. Transportation to town is done by taxis. Hotel Bar and restaurant is closed by 11pm every night, and the girls are gone. After that everything is locked up. I wish staff would have given us choices or information what to do outside FOD, but that might distract from customers hanging out at their bar?
Speaking of staff / management: Their main partner is doing this business because he enjoys working. He and his charming wife are retired, but this is their hobby of sorts. He will be around for a long time. I see a long future for FOD under his leadership. I talked to him a little, and observed him interacting with some local business people, his staff and the chicas there. He cares and at times it felt like a family affair being there more then just a business. But the hotel is old and worn, and repairs are being neglected, indicating some cash flow issues / priorities. But I after talking to him, I can see them successfully continuing. The only other partner I saw works a lot on the "floor", but also plays hard, which unfortunaley is creating and will create issues with the chicas there, causing higher turnover then needed. But I can not blame him; If you like chocolate and you work in a chocolate store, you will be tempted to eat some of the candy a lot of the times, ; p There is a mamasan that gives good real massages (no no happy endings!) , the bar staff and cooks are a great bunch of people, and the lady that does the room also will do laundry for a fee (no working on mondays for her though LOL get your towels before Monday; p). They have a great mix of owners and staff!
I am really glad I got to experience Field of Dreams.

http://curlychic.com/hair-story-african-american-women-hair-and-swimming/Actually a lot of the Dominicanas you will meet have woven hair extensions. A lot of this hair comes from Chinese heads. This dead hair deteriorates fairly quickly and may only last a few weeks. However most Dominicans do know how to swim and enjoy bathing in the rivers or at the beaches in the summertime. I have seen girls at Blackbeards taking a running headfirst dive into the pool with dreadlocks streaming behind them.

I am making my second trip to DR in January. I haven't checked availability yet to see if that is a factor, however I am having trouble deciding. I went to BB's on my last trip and had a blast. I had planned to go to Sosua after a day or two there, but I was having so much fun I decided to stay. The reports I have heard of FOD haven't been quite as glowing, but have been more than satisfactory.
I just wanted to try two to three days of this trip in the same format with different girls. I have also read that it is easier to get transport to places in PP and Sosua from FOD, leaving me with entertainment options if I get bored in the resort. Of course, last trip I met some great expats who were able to offer some great suggestions for entertaining myself within the walls of Costambar. I certainly ate and drank well. I just had an easier time in Sosua the one night I stayed there last trip, keeping myself entertained between sessions. I think that this time I will give Sosua more of a fair chance and probably only do 3-4 days out of 7 in BBs or FOD first to drain the reserves. I just found Sosua a little intimidating for the first night of my first time in the DR. By the time I had been at BBs 3 days last trip, I had made friends and had a girl who I was planning to repeat with for the rest of my trip (she was just too good). I think her BBs name was Nairobi. I caught her on her first day. If I thought she was still there my decision would probably be made already.
The cost difference is of course negligible, unless I decide to take more than one day trip outside of Costambar (relentless taxi mafia). Has anybody on the ground inspected the girl quality at both places recently? BBs last trip was certainly more than adequate. FOD was closed when I was last there so I never made it there.
Sorry for the rambling post everyone. I am in search of informed opinions rather than definitive answers, as YMMV is the word of the day with any trip like this. Thank you to everyone who posts on this board. Without the wisdom of experienced board members, my last trip would not have been such a success.
Very well said Charles!
The more competition the better the rates and variety of chicas.
It all depends on the individual's tastes, age, finances and expectations.
It is all good for all of us!
This Blackbeards versus Sosua debate has been going on for at least the seven years I have been a member here. It sometimes turns abusive and rarely throws up anything new. I don't know why grown men have to form two opposing gangs like playground juveniles. (Three gangs if Field of Dreams is added to the mix).
All three venues are different, all have advantages and downsides the others don't have. What the enquirer and those responding to him should be concentrating on is what exactly he is looking for, what sort of budget he has, and what assets or weaknesses he has.
A guy who speaks Spanish and is looking for semi-pros or non-pros would be ill-advised to stay at Blackbeards. But for a guy who cannot speak a word of Spanish and is a newbie monger it would be a safe choice. If you want semi-pros and don't need your hand held, Field of Dreams is ideal, but a bad choice if you want to take non-pros back there as a respectable girl (or more likely a girl who wants to appear respectable) would be embarrassed by the putas and tacky murals.
If you want haitianas you won't find many, if any, at Blackbeards or Field of Dreams. If you are not confident negotiating, avoid Sosua unless you want to take the easy and expensive option of Passions, or the chicas will take you to the cleaners.
And so on. These are just a few of dozens of criteria. Swimmer? Golfer? Diver? Latin dancer? Hiring a car? These are all factors which should influence your choice of location. It is stupid to say that one place is better than another unless the enquirer has spelled out his requirements. We are lucky to have all these locations. The more of them which survive the more prices are kept reasonable and the more chicas are attracted to the area to work. Instead of libelling them we should be supporting them all, but gently pointing out their strong and weak points.
It is funny how often when I hear mongers attacking one or other location I later find out that they have had a bad experience there and are generalizing on the strength of that. Often, though not always, they have been at fault themselves but because they feel humiliated they will go on bad-mouthing the place for years afterwards.

It is all good for all of us!I agree with Charles's assessment as well. I guess my question wasn't which is better, I am just after a few pros and cons I may have missed. I just can't really place FOD in my head geographically or in any other category due to lack of experience. I have read a lot of good reports on FOD since the reopening. I may just do 2 nights at each location. I just don't want to end up locking myself down to one spot like I did from days 2-7 of my last trip. BBs was incredible last time though.

Think Pepsi vs. Coke. Some people are loyal to one brand or the other and some (like me) enjoy the variety that each has to offer. I think of FOD's like the old Avis car rental slogan. We're #2 but we try harder.
Some quick pro's and con's based on staying at both locations this past July. Regardless it will still come down to personal preference.
Management:
BB's = very established and professional. They have a no nonsense approach to running their business. John the owner is the BOSS and Tim is his #2 and they are on top of the entire operation and insist on consistent high quality from all of their staff and girls. There are times when I wish they would be a little interactive with the customers. The personal touch goes a long long way.
FOD = their owners (at least one) are there all the time. They are always interacting with their customers. They go out of their way to make you feel important. The volume of customers is not there consistently yet so time will tell if that will change. They will upgrade your room based on the length of your stay.
And availability especially if you refer other customers to them or are a repeat customer. I have found that they are very receptive to suggestions and are quick to make changes that will help them improve.
Facility:
BB's = say what you will about John the owner he is one driven individual and Tim is right behind him. The changes that are made are numerous and continuous. They never stop. It does not take long from the time customers make suggestions to their implementation and completion. New HD Tv's with cable I can only imagine what that cost. But how great that must now be!
There are more rooms, the restaurant prices vs. Cost, variety, and over all quality is a good value. The Jacuzzi is large and private even if there are 10 couples using it at the same time.
FOD = the place needs a bit of a face-lift and the murals are just wrong. The difficulty the owners have is they own the name / business "FOD" but lease the Hotel. The owners know what changes they would like to see made but are not in a position to have them done.
Location:
BB's = farther from the Airport, taxis are more expensive but there is a Beach close by and they are several local shops, a drug store and a couple of restaurants.
FOD = close to the Airport, taxis are much cheaper, closer to Sosua and downtown Puerto Plata with Disco's and a Casino. There is a Beach nearby but not as close as the one by BB's. Short ride to stores and Banks.
Girls:
BB's = there are more so the selection is greater.
FOD = there is a nice variety just not as many.
* There are Diamond and Duds in both places, just like there are some girls that are more aggressive. You will find happiness in both places just as both places keep a watchful eye on the quality and consistency of your experience.
I am not sure I have helped with my personal assessment of both places and as always everyone's experience will be different.
PS. Mr. Enternational thank you for the hair explanation. I have always been curious about the concern the girls have had over getting their hair wet. I always thought it was because 1. Either it had been colored 2. They had extensions or 3. It was so long and there were no blow dryers in the rooms.
I am making my second trip to DR in January. I haven't checked availability yet to see if that is a factor, however I am having trouble deciding.Have you thought of staying in Sosua? I will admit, it was a bit intense the first couple days. After walking & talking, found a bunch of places that are a little more laid back compared to the madness on Pedro Clisante. I highly recommend staying at Rockys, Sosua Suites, or Mary Rose. The beach is a short walk, and depending on the place you will have either a kitchen in your room or a restaurant right outside the door. And pool access everywhere, if you like to lay around in the morning. I'm back in the USA after 2 months in Sosua, can't wait to get back!

The rooms and restaurant would be less important factors for me as I'm going to assume that they are more than adequate at FOD. It's the girls that would be the deciding factor for me. The smaller numbers worry me a bit because even at BBs or Sosua, I personally liked only 10 to 20% of the girls. As long as that 10 to 20% are available for me, I would be okay. There were always enough for me at BBs. But if the numbers are low at FOD and they just happen to pick up more clients when I'm there, I could be at a disadvantage. Unless they bring in more girls upon higher client attendance.
As for location, I probably would not bother shuttling back and forth from FOD to Sosua, especially for short time sessions. Better to just stay put at each location and enjoy the fruit at each one.

BB's =there is a Beach close by.
FOD = taxis are much cheaper. There is a Beach nearby but not as close as the one by BB's.Very fair assessment as I would expect from one of more experienced and considered posters.
I would only add the following comments:
Yes, there is a beach within 4 munutes walk of Blackbeards, but it is only for walking along. You don't see many gringos swimming there, and for good reason. There are two beaches 20 minutes walk from Field of Dreams and they both offer clean sand and water.
Yes, taxis are cheaper at Field of Dreams, but a more important point is that you don't need to use private taxis at all. I stayed a total of 5 months at the old Field of Dreams on various trips and I don't remember ever having to use a taxi except when I shared one with other guests. From FoD as a base I travelled all over the North Coast by very cheap public transport, sometimes without needing to change. A big saving for guys on a budget like me. At Blackbeards it is very inconvenient without a rental or private taxis if you want to get off campus.
The selection of chicas at Blackbeards is much bigger, so that is a factor if you are staying a week or more. If for a couple of days it hardly matters.

Have you thought of staying in Sosua? I will admit, it was a bit intense the first couple days. After walking & talking, found a bunch of places that are a little more laid back compared to the madness on Pedro Clisante. I highly recommend staying at Rockys, Sosua Suites, or Mary Rose. The beach is a short walk, and depending on the place you will have either a kitchen in your room or a restaurant right outside the door. And pool access everywhere, if you like to lay around in the morning. I'm back in the USA after 2 months in Sosua, can't wait to get back!Actually I settled on 2 days at BBs. 2 days at FOD, and my last 3 days in Sosua. The Sosua part will be on the weekend this time around. It was really intimidating for me on my first day in Sosua last trip. I think that is why I ended up at BBs the whole time instead of exploring a little more. With 3 days to work with, a better understanding of the layout of Sosua from looking at maps, and slightly improved Spanish, I think Sosua will seem less daunting this trip.
One question I have, How long does it take by cab to get from the Puerto Plata Metro station to BBs? Would metro or Caribe Tours dump me off closer? Is the difference in distance between the two worth worrying about? Sadly, I have to fly into SDQ.

While we are on the topic of comparing different adult vacation resorts in PP, would it not be prudent to throw Oxygen in the mix. They are now moving from a package based model to an optional a la carte model making an apples for apples comparison with BB feasible.
In terms of money, quality of chicas and overall experience, how to BB and Oxygen stack up against each other?
I know BB has been around of longer and O2 is relatively new ( = 5 years)
Eperienced mongers, please do shed some additional light.

I haven't seen a whole lot of posts about people hooking up with Cupid girls from Puerto Plata. I was thinking about trying that and maybe spending a little less time on point and click in Sosua. Is there a reason people don't want to use Cupid in Puerta Plata besides the ease of pursuit otherwise. I would like to find one that speaks a little English and maybe spend a couple of quiet days in an apt / condo or AI at the end of my trip. Any advice, warnings, or other commentary is appreciated.

Experienced mongers, please do shed some additional light.There is a fair amount of info about Oxygen in the relevant section.
Basically 90% of mongers cannot afford to go there, and 90% of those who can would still prefer to have two holidays at Blackbeards or Field of Dreams for the same cost as one at Oxygen. That leaves the approximately 1% of mongers who do go to Oxygen and that is reflected in the small amount of reports from there. I wish them well, but they are only catering for a tiny slice of the market. Guys to whom money is no object and who do not enjoy the hunt, are not interested in experiencing the "real" DR in all its sleazy charm, and do not enjoy socializing with other mongers on their trip, which is a big part of the enjoyment for those of us who have made enduring friendships here.
If I were loaded I would enjoy doing a lot of things differently in the DR, but going to Oxygen still wouldn't be one of them. No refection on those that do, though. Each to his own.

You don't mention the main aid for mastering Sosua, which is meeting up with experienced mongers. If you are a decent guy and pay your own way, you should have no trouble befriending guys who can show you around and give you useful pointers. For starters, eat breakfast at Rocky's around 11. 30 and ask Rick, the manager, to introduce to trustworthy mongers. On no account put yourself into the hands of locals to show you around, but I expect you already know that.
One question I have. How long does it take by cab to get from the Puerto Plata Metro station to BBs? Would metro or Caribe Tours dump me off closer? Is the difference in distance between the two worth worrying about? Sadly, I have to fly into SDQ.Caribe is nearer than Metro, but I wouldn't let that influence your choice of bus company. More important is catching the first bus to leave Santo Domingo. Metro is considered the better bus company, but there is not a lot in it. Make sure you have a sweater at hand as the buses can be freezing cold and draughty and you don't want to spend the first week of your holiday with gripe.
Frustratingly, both companies drive past the entrance to Costambar on their way into Puerto Plata so you will have to retrace your route by taxi. I have often enquired whether it is possible to tip the driver to stop and let you off to avoid this, but have always been told this is one of the very few areas of Dominican life where a bribe won't work. Worth a try if you just have a backpack, though. If you have more luggage there would be no point as you would still need a taxi anyway.
Maybe 300 pesos and 10 minutes from the Caribe Tours depot and 350 and 15 minutes from Metro.

Each to his own.If I had VERY limited time, I might consider this type of place. Luckily I get plenty of vacation time and I can do a couple weeks a Winter in the DR and still be able to hit Colombia and a few otherplaces.
I shagged the one that won the Bikini contest. The one in the pink. She was pretty fun. Nice muff with just enough hair. Seemed like she kindof dug it. Liked to wiggle around and get flipped over. She didn't even mind laying there getting grubbed for awhile. Took plenty of time and layed around afterwards pretending she liked me.
I think I would like to spend more time there. The next morning when I was checking out, this little one showed up that smoked all the rest combined. She must have just got done gettin' drove through the mill for the past few days. Either that or she'd been off for her monthly break.
But if you go upstairs into the bar at night, don't make the mistake like I did and think you are in a gogo bar in Pattaya. Trying to slip the equivelent of a US dollar to her for some lovin just gets them raging pissed off. Haha.
I bet it would be a blast to spend a few months around there. Have a car full time, and maybe get a girlfriend in Santiago. That's where some of these chicks live.
My first DR adventure started with a ridiculously early 4:30 am check-in at the Toronto airport (since I was connecting through Newark as part of my flights on points). I probably only got 4 hours of sleep before heading out. By the time I got to Puerto Plata at about 2 pm local time, I was zonked. But the arrival process as reported by others, was relatively smooth.Exoticspirit,
I am also Asian and was looking at spending a few days at BB. Your report pushed me over. I will be staying there next weekend, barring lack of rooms.
Thank you!
By the way, it seems the regular price for ST is 1, 600. What is the price for overnight for the girls?

My experience in BB was not bad but I felt the girls were bored being there. How can you blame them. So many girls and not that many guys. They seem to lounge around hoping somebody will pull there chain. Once you bust that nut most of the time they are off for the next guy. I like a little GF but did not get the feeling there was going to be much of that. Sosua spoiled me but I can understand why BB is strong with many guys. BB is a great way to get your feet wet.
