I have been living in Puerto Plata for the past 15 years. General consensus among both locals and visitors is that it is significantly cheaper than Sosua. My present apartment costs me US$150 per...

It has been called Oasis Adult Resort for many years now. If money is no object your weary/wary friend might like it. Safe and convenient for Playa Dorada but silly prices. Bang opposite the service...

Good report, Spike. Thanks for taking the trouble. Many (most?) don't.

You went with a plan, then did something totally different and enjoyed your trip. Adjusting to the circumstances is good.

Yes, good idea.

Take a few trips into Puerto Plata for a change of scenery. Or share a taxi with other guests to verture further afield. My only stay at Blackbeards was 14 nights and I was never bored for a minute....

"Vete al carajo!" works well.

DR is extremely safe for a Third World country. I moved here (Puerto Plata) aged 68 (I am now 81 and virtually retired from mongering). I never could fight, and at 68 I could no longer run. But from...

OPTION ONE.

About 100 pesos (about US $1. 75).

Publico to the hosptal in Puerto Plata: 60 pesos.

JC publico to the entrance gate of Costambar. 40 pesos.

Double the above prices while...

I would hardly class Netflix as a family necessity. "Toiletries" sounds a bit posh, unless you mean cleaning materials, laundry and personal hygiene requirements. "Spices" is another odd suggestion....

You can still have fun, just not as much as normally. I live here. I do not know anyone who has caught Coronavirus, or know anyone who has done so, but my social circle is small.

It depends on...

I suggest you delete this message here and post it in the Punta Cana section.

Interesting that mangos are such a priority for you. Are you a fruitarian?

See the thread entitled Field of Dreams (FOD) Anybody? in the User Blog section below. The place was formerly called "Field of Dreams". I would say not worth considering unless you are already...

Late August may be OK, but I would not commit yourselves for a month or two to see how the pandemic goes. A local flare-up (as is happening in so many areas, including the USA) and things could still...

Hi Remy. Why do you not:

1) Look in the Blackbeards Resort thread for this information?

2) If you have more questions after having done that, post them in the Blackbeards Resort thread.

The double negative is a literary device sometimes used by the most refined writers to enliven their prose. There are dozens of examples in Shakespeare. And Wrx2005 is known as "The Bard of ISG".

Thanks for your good wishes which I reciprocate.

I think there must be a miscommunication with your friend. In Puerto Plata, standard practice for supermarkets, utilities offices, banks and all...

30 confirmed cases in Puerto Plata province (not just in the city) and no deaths. The real figures are likely to be considerably higher because of lack of testing and poor communications, but will...

I do not know about Barba Negra, but there used to be a brothel on the outskirts of Pto Pta called La Choza. The girls maintained a shrine with many candles, flowers and images. It was santeria...

"Guagua" normally means "bus" but can be used to mean any sort of vehicle. My guy who tours the streets selling vegetables drives a three-wheeler, motor-cycle with trailer attached. He calls that his...

The weather can be shit any time of the year (like right now, for example). If you plan in advance you have to take pot luck. My point is the likelihood of being inconvenienced by a hurricane in July...

I have lived in Puerto Plata for thirteen years. No hurricane has hit Puerto Plata since the 1900's. Four or five tropical storms have visited us during my thirteen years but none in the past 12...

Yes, they have a restaurant. Opinions vary, and cooks come and go, but generally reports have not been favorable. I have only eaten there twice. The first time was unpalatable, the second inedible,...

I concur that most of the Blackbeards girls are 5's to 7's with the odd 8 (but these latter are in constant demand and may not be available). However most maturer mongers are going to be satisfied...
