Blackbeards Resort

[Aardvark]

I worry that the heirs of the late owner would not wish to own a place like Blackbeards. It has certainly happened with online businesses where the owner died. When Bruce died TSM was shut down in a heartbeat by the daughter.

It may be that the late owner made plans to keep the place running, at least until his estate is closed.

Blackbeards was for sale since the owner got really sick. Search for "Blackbeards Dominican Republic for sale" to see what the details are. I do not hesitate to post this because the owner posted that info here several years ago. Maybe the terms will loosen up a bit.

Original Blackbeards thread started in 1999. Restarted in May of 2014. I question the idea that the investigators hired by the controlling legal authorities need ISG to know what is going on in their own country. This is a country of men, not laws. Now this is changing. But from the top down. And it takes time for things to filter down through the chain of command.

Speaking of that, how Blackbeard operates (from my lay opinion only) is not illegal. Even technically. In this day in age (COVID-19) running a hotel is no joke with the new sanitation protocols. Reading the newspaper is so easy even a expat can do it. And if they did they would see any number of operations being closed for not following those protocols. The facts are that people are talking about business succession as the possible reason for closure. Because Blackbeards has been operating for years right under the noses of the controlling legal authorities who have had access to a website produced by Blackbeards itself and ISG information. Curious?

I am aware of a location that is posted about quite frequently in the Santo Domingo forum that is in a location inside of a commercial building visible form a main artery in the city. (PM for more details). I will answer you.

It has been there a while. Think it is a secret? Maybe if you are expat new to the scene who lives with the mentality of pulling up the draw bridge. (Royalty tends to think like that). Controlling legal authorities do not know where the back room parties are because they are not being posted on ISG. Right? LOL!

You do not need to be having sex fueled parties with pesos flowing as much as leche to know that a registered business selling alcohol in a back room without the proper exemptions after curfew is straight illegal. I will not be writing for that information. Not interested. Full bar in my house. Thank you very much!

I am also aware of a location that I frequented that I only saw mentioned once on ISG and only as a question about the name of the place and location because I girl he was interested in was going to work there. It was shut down. Reason given was work conditions. Appears the owners were greedy. Holding passports of the workers and taking advantage of them. Bad owners. Investigators did not need the posts of ISG to close the place. So, hoist the petard if you like. Chicken little was trying to warn people too.

Besides, what good is a private message (PM) when people fail to answer you? I have sent any number of PMs to individuals here on ISG only to be ignored or told to fuck off. So much for the sharing of information on having sex with girls. LOL!

And may the pussy with you. Always!

I can't imagine seeing this place closing down any time soon. It does have a rather large client roster that goes back several times a year. Every time I have been there the place has been packed. We be there in just a few short weeks along with some friends as usual. I do hope the place stays open for years to come, it is one of the best places with great prices on the island for what the hotel has to offer.

It will help if the "know it all" posters stay cool.

The entire business plan has been posted here, complete with prices, management share and names of all involved. Technically illegal.

A similar place was thriving, on the outskirts of Sosua under the radar.

Guys started posting details of the business plan how it is run, and it was almost immediately shut down forever!

PM details if you must, that's what PM is for!

Stay cool, and safe.

Yes I recieved an email also. He did a good job with his hotel. I took my first trip there in November 2020. I understand it HAS been up for sale for some time. Hopefully someone as thoughtful and caring as him takes it over. RIP.

Business succession is one of the most difficult things a business owner must plan for. It is especially difficult when the business had the unique imprint of the founder.

Nothing is more unique that a resort with a house of prostitution built in. A potential owner has to determine if the property has any value outside of the unique business that is housed within it. After the value of the property is determined the goodwill value of the business needs to be determined. All of this has to be then measured against the asking price of the business.

The business inside of the resort presents unique challenges both operationally and management. Going to take special person to step up to owning and running of that business. There is a long history of sexual service business in this country opening and closing. If Blackbeards does not continue and there is truly a demand for the business offerings that it provided. Another one will open in its place. Such is the nature of capitalism.

Although I never stayed there (not my cup of tea) I visited one time during lunch hour show out of curiosity. Out of the way place but well suited to be a brothel / resort.

Business wise it is extremely hard to run. Firstly it is very hard to please demanding tourists who want everything 5 star accommodation to food to service to girls and not willing to pay 5 star price. Upkeep expenses must be steep. Political and other connections who needs to be greased to keep it running. Now that the owner is gone will be hard pressed to get a buyer who will run it the way like before.

This maybe the downfall like many other such resorts which failed.

Just received a email saying owner has passes away last week. I know he has been sick for a long time and posting in absentia. Wonder if he has partners or entrusted someone to run the place. RIP.

Great report! All it needs is pictures of the ladies.

Thanks. BBs has pretty strict but reasonable rules about photos. The women have to agree to be photographed and have to expressly grant permission to post them anywhere online. Also it's not cool to take photos in common areas or at events where there is nudity. As Husker Dude points out, if you subscribe to BB's mailing list, you can see pix of the chicas in swimwear.

Also, Let us know if 2 weeks after you have returned from home you are still negative and / or asymptomatic for the virus. Or if you test negative 3 days after leaving the the. Are.

Did you hear anything about the spread rate or what was happening with the virus in that area?

I went to Blackbeard's and left a review here a while back an would love to return when its safe. (Maybe it is now?

I track the virus in several countries every day using the map on the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. The stat there that I think is the most meaningful is the Active Cases number, which you can see by selecting the Active Cases tab at the bottom of the map, zooming in on the DR, the clicking on the dot there. Active Cases = Total Cases minus Recoveries and Deaths. This morning, there were 26,438 reported active cases in the DR. This number has been increasing since November 8, when active cases were at 19,802. The increase has been comparatively gradual--nothing like the dramatic spike we see in the US. The current number of active cases translates into 2. 44 active cases for every thousand people. Rates per thousand in the US are four to five times that in most states.

The problem with this data, of course, is that it is generalized--we don't have specific numbers from Blackbeards or comparable establishments. My admittedly amateur conclusion is that overall you are less likely to contract the virus in the DR than in the States, but that you are certainly taking a greater risk in the common areas and bedrooms of Blackbeards than you would take walking down the street.

Just subscribe to BB newsletter, they have current pics of the chicas taken the 2 weeks prior to publication.

I recently returned from my second visit to Blackbeards. I stayed four days. Those interested in my first visit will find an account at Post 972 in this forum.........

I hope Blackbeards stays around for many more years. If it does, you will certainly find me there again.

I second the opinion that this was a great report, TravisMcgee. Thanks!

Glad to hear it was useful for you. Happy trails!

[Travis McGee]

Enjoyed your crisp text, especially the highlights of your sessions, despite the fact that I am not a BB man. Thanks.

I appreciate the good words. Back atcha: I've read and enjoyed your reports and comments as well.

[Travis McGee]

Did they resume any activities (costume parties, bikini contests, disco, etc.)?

There was a party up in the disco on Saturday night with a lot of whooping and hollering and drunken singing, but that was the only organized (activity I saw in my four nights there.

Did Genesis tell you the price for anal or was it your offer?

I asked how much. She said how much you you give me and asked me to type the number into my phone so there would be no misunderstanding. I said (and wrote) 4,500 DoP. She said OK. There was no haggling, which I definitely appreciated.

I second the opinion that this was a great report, TravisMcgee. Thanks!

Yes, great report Travis Mc. I don't see any reports of Bikini shows etc. On this forum yet. It doesn't mean they haven't happened yet. The best bet would be to email Blackbeards directly and ask for a calendar of activities or ask when these may resume.
