Hello:
Has anyone been to Oxygen lately? An updated report?
Yup, looks expensive. But so is a plane ticket to Europa!
Thanks,
Strato
I've never done Oxigen-like resorts, but am dreaming to try. The concept sounds very appealing, assuming that the choice of females there is top-notch. By top-notch I mean 18-25 year olds, speak English a bit, model-like body, young looking face.
Internet has little to offer about Oxygen - no reports, almost nothing. I read something about Vikings and Charlie's Angels. Will appreciate any insight!

I was given a nice 30 minute tour of this place early last year with my 2 wingmen. I published a trip report but its buried deep in here somewhere and never made it as a report of distinction for some strange reason as it was full of good intel. Anyway, our plan was 2 nights in Sosua and 3 more at BB's. It was our second trip to the POP region. Another member of this board was kind enough to respond to my private message and he arranged with the O2 owner a tour of his facility. On our 2nd day we hired a driver to take us to the funky beach resort town of Cabarette about 15 minutes east of Sosua. We had lunch at the very nice Irish beach bar called Josey O'Sheas. I like this place but its a bit more expensive than some of the other beach joints but worth it IMHO. After lunch I called the owner and he gave our dirver directions to his place. O2 is located about 5 minutes further east just outside of Cabarette.
Upon our arrival the owner met us at the door. He was most gracious and accomodating to us. I made it clear that we already had reservations at BB's and would not be staying at his place and he was cool with that. He even had nice things to say about BB's operation. O2 is located inside a very large and securely walled off compound. The buffet was out and I saw some girls eating from that. You can order up anything you want from the kitchen at almost any time if the buffet doesn't appeal. Six (6) guests were staying there and we talked with several of them at the bar. I apologized for any inconvenience and they were very kind and open with answering our questions no problem. The chicas that I saw were all totally smoking hot. BB's has more than a few that are GL enought to work here but these broads were a cut above for sure.
The rooms were just awesome, many with jacuzzis inside. The pool was fucking HUGE. If you're a lap swimmer its heaven. Gigantic basketball court and if memory serves me correct, tennis courts. The chicas live on site and their cabanas looked quite comfortable from a distance. I think there was a large outdoor jacuzzi and I think another smaller pool but memory is fading. They have a large and fully equipped gym with anything you could need. Typical tiki bar setup where the girls just sit and wait for you to take them. There were different service levels and yes its a bit pricy but they certainly deliver on their promise. Unlike some of these other come and go clip joint operations that I see mentioned on here from time to time.
One of the guys told me it was his 12th trip. He was from Maine. They have an all inclusive vibe and "coupons" are used to pay the girls. They in turn cash these in later for real pesos. I'm pretty sure they are on contract to stay there for at least a month at a time. Unused coupons can be used on any future trip and the maine guy monger showed me a billfold full of them that he had accrued over his visits.
This place is real. All of the chicas are Dominicanas. He will not have any foreign girls there. Reason: Some other so-called business man was importing Brazilian girls and got busted for sex trafficking as is currently doing time in a Brazilian jail for it. Lesson here, avoid any of the clip joints promoting foreign girls.
Downsides: No swimmable beach nearby even though they aren't too far from the shore. The neighborhood they are located in looks like its seen better days but I wouldn't call it dangerous. I don't think the girls are allowed to leave the compound for sightseeing but i could be wrong about that. There doesn't appear to be much to do in the immediate area but Cabarette can be fun day or night as its a world class kite surfing beach. Girls can be found working the beach at night at a few places, I know as I did that in 2007 on a solo trip before I knew what the fuck I was doing.
I would recommend this place as a high end mongering destination but go NO higher in price. They have it about right here for the money. Hope this helps you guys out. Stay safe out there!

Geolopes,
First, let me thank you for the report. Greatly appreciated! Few follow up quesitons and comments, if I may. Will appreciate your feedback:
1. I do like wide selection of girls, not only Dominican. Plus, I speak no word of Spanish and am afraid no good chemistry can be assured with Oxygen Dominican-only crew. Any opinion on that?
2. I like young-looking slim model like girls with innocent faces. The ones on Oxygen website didn't impress me much. Any comment on the Oxygen girls? Did you interact with any?
3. I heard Vikings closed (you probably alluded to them). They had wide variety of Russian, Brazilian, Dominican etc girls. Do resorts like Vikings exist? I hear Vikings reopened. Is it true? I hear Charlie's Angels and Dr.Nights are 2 competitors to Oxygen. Any other high-end places?
4. The entire investment in going to such a resort can be spoiled by not being able to chose the smoking hot GFE girl. What do you know about selection process?
Thanks again, for your willingness to help with this research! Abolit.

Glad you enjoyed my post. Let me try and answer your ?? as best I can.
1) It never hurts to speak the local's language but I wouldn't worry about that down at O2. Owner told me that many of the chicas are university students, unemployed models, etc. A few might speak passable English.
2) I didn't feel right about talking with the girls. I wasn't staying there and wanted to tread lightly. The chicas that I saw were all slim but I only saw a few of them.
3) Owner told me it was the Vikings guy that was in a Brazilian jail. You won't see any foreign chicas at O2. I have looked at those other websites and I'm not impressed. Way too expensive and sources down there tell me that they operate out of rented places with local girls. I'm pretty sure O2 is owned outright by the guy who gave me the tour.
4) Don't worry about that. These chicas know that YOU select them...period. They are there to serve you. See one you like, have her sit with you, talk with her if you can, tell her what you expect, and if you like the vibe, bang it out. Its just not a problem, really. Then, repeat the process until you just can't do it anymore. Want a 3some or 4some, have at it.
Works this way at BlackBeards and I've been there 3 times over the last year and a half. Enjoy!

Geolopes,
Thanks again, for the feedback. I looked at BlackBeards website. It didn't say a word about girls being available. In general, my impression was that BB is not a high class place. It looks a bit rundown.
Nothing wrong in going for BB, perhaps, but I get vacations once in a blue moon, so I'd rather spend it in the higher end place. O2 may fit the bill. If Vikings reopens (I hear it may have reopened) - I may give it a chance.
My question #4 was meant to express a concern that:
a. Not enought real stunners will be available from O2's stable of ladies.
b. Even if there are 1-2 stunners, other clients that arrive before me may snatch them, leaving me with meager options and thus ruining my vacation.
I wonder if you have any thoughts on the above matters. From what I understand, O2 is one of the very few upscale places of its kind. I'm surprised that this is the case, as there seems to be the need for this service.

I visited BB for 15 minutes last week. The physical plant, grounds, buildings, bars, looked very good. The chicas looked good. I don't know Oxygen and I don't BB in the daytime. What I saw at BB at night, impressed me. I don't know how the rooms are. BB was not run down from what I saw. What I saw at BB looked clean and well kept. The night I was at BB the other guys at BB all looked like professional guys.
If you are looking for the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton style in Dom Rep, you will have to spend bucks for that type of luxury.
Personally, BB did not look run down in person.

Aibolit,
I've enjoyed two vacations at Blackbeard's this year, and I will tell you that Blackbeard's is not The Ritz. (Okay, I haven't been to The Ritz, but I've been to The Greenbrier, a posh golf retreat in West Virginia - five diamonds from Triple-A.) Blackbeard's would not earn five diamonds from AAA; probably two, maybe even three. Not fancy, not posh, but solidly comfortable, the bartenders are knowledgable, and the food is good. They even have good beef, which isn't easy to find in the Dom Rep. And certainly not run-down, but Island-style simple in the common areas and solidly comfortable in the bedrooms. (Except, maybe, for the bathroom showers - but I blame that problem on the horrible Costambar tap-water, not on any failures in Barba Negra's maintenance.)
Blackbeard's is not all-inclusive; not in food, not at the bar, not in regards to the chicas. You can put food and drink on your room tab, or pay as you go; you pay the girls themselves, for their services, cash at the counterpane.
They do not make reference to the chicas on their website; they keep that low-profile, but they have photos of their Bikini Contest and other earthly delights in their roughly biweekly e-letter. The girls are Dominican and Haitian, ranging from Spanish light to dark chocolate. They aren't all vacationing models; they may not be as "perfect" as the chicas imaged on the Oxygen website; they range from willowy-slim to somewhat on the plump side. But those I've brought back to my room have all been good - some better than others, of course, but I believe that has more to do with YMMV than anything else. Problem chicas don't last long with Barba Negra.
Prices? The deluxe single rooms (king-size bed, quite spacious, each of mine had a sitting area) are $60/night, plus tax. The priciest item on the dinner menu is RD$395, less than $12 US. The chicas are RD$1500 ($42) for short-time, RD$3000 ($84) all-night.
I was very pleased with my stays at Blackbeard's and I found it quite satisfactory ... and as Douglas MacArthur said, "I Shall Return!"
Of course, if money's no object for you and you are epicurean in your tastes, you might be happier at Oxygen. Let us know how The Other Half lives, won't you please? We'd appreciate a trip report and photos....

Westy is right on with his description. I'm not pimping for BB's. I'd go to O2 if I had the dough for sure. I was impressed with my tour there. But as any economist would say, "on the other hand" BB's is a good value for the $$. The main selling point for me would be that its American owned and operated. The owner, who I've spoken with many times, gets it.
Now, if you have the coin by all means go to O2. During my 30 minute tour I was impressed, and so were my wingmen, both of whom are in Bankok for their 5th trip as I type this. P.S. I hate you guys...lol. We are experienced mongers and know whats what.
For the cheaper fucks going to BB's I have 2 points to save a few bucks:
1) Pay as you go for food and drinks, don't put it on your room. The staff there can make mistakes. No, they aren't trying to rip you off, they're just Dominicans and don't have...how can i say this without being offensive...brains. You will avoid sticker shock on the way out. The only bill you should have at checkout is your minibar. Prices for that are same as the bar. A 10% tip is included on all food/bar bills and that's fair so you don't have to tip too much. Nice to leave a few clinkers if the service is good though as the staff appreciates that.
2) If you like the local beer, buy the larger bottles and just pour some out into a glass for your chica to save a few pennies. If your drinking solo buy the smaller bottles so it doesn't get too warm and taste like warm [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url].
At O2 none of the above matters as its "all" inclusive. I talked at length with one of the BB's chicas who used to work at O2. She made good money there but eventually went to BB's as she had more flexibility with her work schedule at BB's. Not sure if she's still there however. Ditto Westy: post a trip report. Take care and BE SAFE OUT THERE!
Westy and Geolopes,
I appreciate very much your input. Good value resort is very important to all of us, I think, regardless of desposable income level. I personally can easily endure simple place, as long as:
A. It has reliable and very good selection of stunning young girls.
B. It is clean, descrete, and safe.
After all, we're there for girls. So, gilded jacuzzi is secondary, in my opinion. What I am still unclear about all DR resorts is where the best selection of girls can be had.
In O2 they have ~10 girls, but it's unclear who has the chance to snatch the 1-2 stunners. If one pays ton of money for O2 and stunners are taken - then it's a serious problem. Unfortunately, by stunners I do mean 18-24 y.o. model GFE types with no ounze of fat, innocent faces and playful attidude (i.e. rare breed uner any circumstances).
In BB - I have no idea how reliable the supply of girls are. I read somewhere that they can get quite old and ugly. Plus none speak English.
So, the question is still out there, I think - which DR resort provides the best selection of ladies, regardless of cost? Don't want to belabor the point, but is someone has a resolute and supported argument one way or another, I think it would be great for everyone to hear.
Cheers, Aibolit

Aibolit:
Try this. Spend a few days at O2. Wrap up at BB's or vice versa. Like i said earlier, O2 is the most expensive I would do. Those other places in my view are way too expensive and won't live up IMHO and in the opinion of other mongers and operators. Try contacting the other places and ask for a tour while you're traveling around. If they refuse to let you see their place for a few minutes that should tell you something.
Now, regarding your other concern about guys wifing up some hot chick during your stay. Yes, that could happen. The plus side is that the other chicas are available. No problem. O2 has the best chicas. BB's selection is more that adequate. Yes, BB's has a few chicas that might be fatties or not appealing, don't take them, that's all.
Dud, just go! And post a report.
First this is NOT an advertisment for BB's nor am I being critical of O2. I have stayed at BB's 20+ times. I have researched many of the "other" locations" via friends that have stayed there. There will always be people that want to go a more expensive route. I am not "cheap" and can afford to stay at any and all of the more expensive locations but select BB's when I want to have many dates during my trips.
The one thing I love abot BB's is the longer you stay (number of days per trip) the more girls that just appear out of the blue. There is something for everyone. If you want something special (type of body etc.) just ask the chances are they know just the girl for you.
BB's is not the Ritz, Waldorf or other 5 star hotel. True it might be only a 2 star hotel. But"
1. It is very clean
2. Very private
3. Food and drinks are resonably priced
4. Girls are CLEAN D+D free and get checked
5. Girls are very friendly and make you feel special
6. A lot of time effort and money have been put into the place to upgrade the facilities. There is some thing new every time I go there.
While I can stay other places and spend more money, I like to be able to go to BB's more often. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you guys for the good information you post. I am a newbie and I would appreciate if anyone could answer me on the following questions as I am planning of going to BB in the next week.
Has BB been affected by the crackdown or is it still as good as you all describe it, having a good variety of chicas?
Which room do you usually book and would suggest to reserve? The Single Deluxe or Deluxe Jacuzzi Suite? The difference is $15+taxes, is it worth it to book the Jacuzzi one?
Is the beach accessible for swimming and having fun, if yes how much does it cost to go swimming and sun tanning on the beach?
Their website says "just email us your flight schedule and we will make the arrangements for you and bill it to your room. The cost is US$45 one-way from Puerto Plata Airport". Should I ask for that or I find a cab myself?
What else should I know and should take with me there?
Thanks a lot guys for your help,
P. E.

Thank you guys for all the helpful info you have been posting. I am a newbie and planning to be heading to Blackbeards next week and I have a couple of questions that would appreciate your help.
Has Blackbeards been affected by the crackdown in Sosua. Is it still as good as everyone has been commenting on it with the same good variety of chicas?
Which room do you usually take? The Single Deluxe or Deluxe Jacuzzi Suite? Is it worth it paying $15+taxes a night additional for the Jacuzzi Suite?
Should I ask Blackbeards to arrange my pickup from the Puerto Plata airport (they charge $45 for one way) or does it cost less if I pickup a cab myself?
What should I take with me there? Medications, ideas for small gifts to the chicas, etc?
Is there anything that I should know and be aware of?
Is the beach close to Blackbeards a good beach that one can go to suntan, swim and see other people / girls? If yes, how much does it cost to use it?
For Canadian, do we need to have a valid passport or is a Driver's license sufficient for direct flights from Canada to D. R. On Air Transat flight?
Thank you guys for your help,
