Blackbeards Resort

[Charles Pooter]

You might have a good time with a slightly buzzed chica, but not a drunk chica. You can never know what effect too much alcohol will have on someone. Can open the flood gates to a lot of unwanted drama.

Absolutely. While the chicas necessarily put on a happy face, they mostly have all sorts of personal problems arising from poverty, and the poor standards of health and education in the country, abusive partners or family members, etc. Plus very few are really comfortable deep down with being working girls. This is rarely a problem as they do a professional job, but if drunk their restraints are lowered and they can blow their top for trivial reasons, and if you too are drunk you may not respond in the wisest way.

Obviously less of a danger at Blackbeards, but it has happened there.

I always wonder why guys drink to excess here. They can do that in their own countries, but they cannot normally find girls at DR prices.

Been doing a lot of reading on here, this forum is great! So glad I found it. I was really on the reserve about going but now I am sold. Going to be booking my trip soon!

One thing I have not found though. If you chose to have a girl for all night or (2 session) are the girls allowed to catch a buzz with you or possibly get a little tipsy (drunk). LOL.

Some of the other resorts I have stayed at really shyed away from this. They allowed the girls to drink but they could not get drunk.

Since getting a chica out of a bar in Sosua has no limitations, I presume you are talking about an establishment like BB. I know of no restrictions on the girls drinking. (Anything like weed, however, is strictly prohibited on the premises). Can't imagine that anyone would object. Guys are constantly buying chicas a beer, etc. I often used to buy a large Presidente for a couple of girls to share at a table.

In fact, in the past, one chica preferred to toss back a couple of tequilas, to get really primed for a session with me. The girls don't exactly work FOR the hotel. They are technically not BB "employees. " They are technically freelancers, but have to comply with certain requirements and standards of conduct to be allowed to ply their trade on site.

One word, though. You might have a good time with a slightly buzzed chica, but not a drunk chica. You can never know what effect too much alcohol will have on someone. Can open the flood gates to a lot of unwanted drama.

Yes they can drink with you.

I strongly recommend that you get picked up by the driver sent by BB's,they only charge an extra ten dollars over what you would pay if you grabbed a taxi at the airport.

Thank you for the recommendation, that was my thoughts as well.

[Charles Pooter]

Love the name. Are you the original one?

Newbie here just chiming in. I have been to the DR several times over the last couple years but I have always stayed at the all inclusive GFE resorts. Near Boca Chica or Juan Dolio. Some are too dang expensive. I am really considering my trip in March to try out BB's as well. Was wondering if anyone has ever had any problems getting picked up from the Airport by BB's? I read there are cheaper alternatives but I want to play it safe on my 1st trip there getting my feet wet. Do not want any trouble. Mi Espanol es mui poco. LOL.

Thank you for your insight. Would seriously consider BB on my next trip to DR. Something new I have yet to try anywhere in the world.

What is "the best" is totally a matter of personal taste. If you are talking about other "resorts" with girls on site, for the price, yes, BB would win a vote.

The alternatives are very over-priced, and justify it with being "elite" or "exclusive. " Most would say, not worth the price.

The other alternative is trolling the bars and streets of Sosua. There are many who prefer that, as they enjoy the process of "fishing" for the next chica.

I was always too impatient and too lazy for that. Been there, but it simply wasn't my taste, and ultimately, that is who you have to please, - yourself.

Boknerr & George03 - Appreciate the feedback.

George03 - A follow-up: the tropiclink payment page listed 22 USD RT consistent with what Colbert1 posted. You mentioned 75 USD RT. Did you use a different service / company? Thanks for the clarification!

When you book, you will get an email with instructions. I will just give you my experience. I received an email after book with a confirmation and with some phone numbers and other information. Upon arrival, there would be someone from Nexus tours outside that would meet me outside the airport. When I did indeed arrive, there was someone with a big card with my name on it from Nexus tours that met me. I had a very early I in the am (4 am) arrival, so I ended up being the only one on the shuttle. I have yet to return, but I am to call 24-48 in advance of the return. $75 RT. I probably tipped $10 US since I was the only one, I think several suggested normally $5, which is likely what I would do if others on board.

Reading all the reports in here, I'm really considering going to BB soon. Have been to the DR before but never to BB. I know many must have asked this before, is BB the best in DR? Looking at the rate they are offering, I can't find anything similar that can compete to BB.

To Colbert1 or anyone else with first hand experience with this option. I'm scheduled for a visit in about a month. This option looks great. As I'm looking at the booking screen, just hoping to understand some nuances.

I'm up to the payment screen and it doesn't mention the name of the service (Nexus Tours or otherwise) or where the pick-up location at the airport is. Question: where / how does pick-up work at the airport? And on the flip side, where / how does pick-up on the return trip work?

Appreciate the guidance. Thanks!

I got back a week ago, I used Tropiclink. Airport pick up is easy. Just look for dude in orange. You can't miss him. On your way there the driver will give you info for your return. I had a problem but the manager at BB's worked it out. You will be fine!

About a year ago I found an incredible service which is similar to Supershuttle. It is www.tropiclink.net (Nexus Tours).

You are picked up at the airport and taken to BB for only $22 roundtrip. That is $11 one way! You reserve and pay online in the US before going.

Don't pay the outrageous BB taxi prices. Even though it is a shared van I have gone alone more than 70% of the time.

Please do not let the managers at BB know about this! And make sure to tip your driver at least 200 pesos.
