Blackbeards Resort

Newbie here so would appreciate any input / pointers -.

1. BB is picking me up from STI, so where should I exchange US $ to pesos? Airport, inside BB or somewhere on the way?

2. I would like to minimize exchanging currencies back and forth, what is the best strategy here as few places take US $ like BB and hotel Casa Cayene in Sosua? Only time I will need pesos is for Chicas and food / drinks. Should I budget for 2-3 days and then repeat? I am in DR for 1 week with 3 days in BB and 4 days in Sosua.

3. If I get bored in Sosua, is there a public transportation to take me to Punta Cana? It is 5 hours by road so looking for economical alternatives instead of taxi. I don't want to drive in DR so car rental is not an option.

4. Anything to take for Chicas like some gifts? Looking for some GFE action as well and not just sports fucking.

5. Any places with good WiFi within walking distance of BB and near beach in Sosua? I have heard BB wi-fi is pretty bad.

6. Any wingman in Sosua during July 11-15th and wanted to guide this newbie! Drinks / lunch on me.

Thank a ton!

You've already gotten good advice on two posts, so I'll just say since this is your first time, your impressions of BB and Sosua would be of interest.

P.S.: (If you only have a week, drop any idea of travel from Sosua to Punta Cana. Would be an all-day affair by bus.).

If bored in Sosua, suggest dropping by Field of Dreams; its at least on the way from BB to Sosua, so, doable for a short day-trip.

If I get bored in Sosua, is there a public transportation to take me to Punta Cana?

That is like saying "If I get thirsty in Las Vegas, could someone drop me off in Death Valley".

Spend more time reading forums.

1. If you arrive to Costambar between 8 am and 9 pm ask a driver to stop near Jenny supermarket.

2. Exchange a little more than you think you need during stay at BB at once.

3. You'll have to use 3 different buses, bad idea for such a short stay.

4. Ebay, Amazon, Walmart and Marshalls / TJMaxx for perfume and / or clothing items.

5. Not that bad anymore, 3 Mbits is typical download speed. If it stops working try another spot 10 ft away or ask at reception for router reset.

Saludos to all from, John, the original and still owner of Blackbeards.

Apparently the Coconut Telegraph has "blown a nut" somewhere by reporting that I sold the hotel or plan to close it after 13 successful years. This is absolutely not true, and additionally, I don't have any partners either. Although I have been absent recently for personal reasons, I continue to invest heavily in improvements in all areas of the business. Just follow our newsletter for current updates.

As of last week however, I have decided to retire and sell the hotel. I guess that when I received my application for Medicare, my friends told me that it was MY time to relax, sit by the pool and drink a few beers with a good looking Chica! In the meantime, absolutely nothing will change. All of my employees are fully aware of the sale and have agreed to stay and expect that the new owner will keep them employed.

If you would like more details about the Hotel / Sale Simply Google Search "Blackbeards Hotel For Sale" and you will get what you need. The site is not completely finished so bare with us for a few more weeks.

Personally, I think the hotel is running better than ever, and now would be a great time to visit. I hope this puts an end to all of the rumors and we all look forward to seeing you soon.

Gracias

Congratulations on your retirement! As others have already stated, running a successful business for as long as you have in a difficult business environment like the DR is something to be proud of. Blackbeards has shaped the nightlife scene on the Northern Coast. We all hope that you stick around to tell some tall tales around the proverbial campfire!

Salud!

Maybe they are taking time off to enlarge the pictures. Just kidding. Did you check your spam filter?

Seriously, please make the pictures at least a little bigger. I. e. Viewable on a phone without distortion.

Congratulations on your retirement. I wish you the best! I know that you have always looked out for the hotel, the staff, and the guests! I know you will look for a new owner who will devote as much time and energy towards the place as you did. We can only hope that the new owner (s) will take as much pride in the reputation as you have over the years.

Seems to be something gone wrong, I haven't received my monthly newsletter in my email, it was like a monthly ritual.

They sent one on June 19. There is a good chance the next installment will come after this weekend.

Well, I can only hope the new owner does as good a job of maintaining what has already been achieved.

The place is unique, in that it is the ONLY well-managed operation in that environment.

It would be a terrible loss, both for those on this forum, and the Dominicans it employs.

Mucha suerte, Capitan.

Normally the newsletter is spot on, arriving the top of the month. So I guess the question is, has anyone received the July edition?

Hello all,

I wanted to give FOD a try. I cannot seem to find their website like I used to. Are they still in business? Does anyone have the link if they are still in business.

Thanks in advance.

Gentlelapper

I answered your question in the FOD section. I was at both FOD and BB with a big group of guys in Mid-May and all was great at both places.
