I think the last "JC" publico to Costambar leaves the city about 5 pm but you would need to check as I have not done it for many years.

Posts: 319Many guys are sick of this too.
Especially when they check Uber price. Let's try not to use the services of mobsters whenever possible.

Posts: 319Do you mean Cialis or Viagra?
If yes, there is a pharmacy across the street from Jenny supermarket near the main gates of Costambar. Generics are DOP 50 per pill, originals are about DOP 500.

Posts: 3Availability of male enhancers at BB.
Hello to all,
I have been reading the board for some time but have not seen this posted (unless it was sometime ago) but what is the availability of male enhancers at BB?
Thanks.

Posts: 148Sick and tired of the taxi mafia.
My cousin was leaving Blackbeard's for the airport and the rest of our friends were leaving on the same exact plane. They had arranged a van to take them that was not affiliated with BB or the mafia, so he was going to hitch a ride with them. But one of those taximob SOB's sat and waited for the very moment they left to say that they had too many people in the vehicle, and that someone would have to take him. I had some choice words for that SOB, since I wasn't leaving and thought that it was none of his fuckin business about who was riding along, but he was persistent and my cousin ended up caving to his demands, but there's no fuckin way I would let him snatch me from a ride I had already arranged.

Posts: 319Just plan 15 extra minutes for Uber arrival when you leave FROM Costambar.
The problem with taxi mafia is only when you leave FROM Costambar, not when you arrive. These assholes charge you DOP 2,000 instead of DOP 500-550!
I would recommend sending the following message to the driver-When you enter to Costambar if asked by the guards at the gate where are you going, just tell them that you picking up a friend, do not mention Uber. Cuando ingrese a Costambar si los guardias le piden a la puerta a dónde va, solo dígales que está recogiendo a un amigo, no mencione a Uber.

Speaking of coordinates, I will be flying into SDQ from FLL on spirit this Thursday. Anyone heading to the North coast on the same flight, PM me. I would enjoy the company. I am going to BBs but if you are going Sosua way I can get you to the Publico in Puerto Plata.

You got your answer, so this is extra. I recently flew in / out of POP, and also looked around for the usual tourist card kiosk, but lacking that, went right into the line with my customs card. A new addition to the process was the photo taking of fingerprints at the customs booth, but that was very quick. Best of luck to you, and take care.

Posts: 444Thanks
Thanks. I looked on my ticket in the small print it shows up like your example. I always thought that it was so stupid to get in line for the tourist card, go through the customs line only to hand over the tourist card 2 minutes later to somebody. It just made arriving more difficultand time consuming.
I'm flying into SDQ and driving to the North Coast and it is one less thing to worry about. Thanks.

Posts: 444Dumb Question
I am somewhat a veteran to the DR but I haven't been down for a couple years. I am used to flying in and buying the $10 tourist card before customs only to hand it to someone right after passing thru. I read somewhere it is now part of the airline ticket fees. Is this correct? I would feel stupid looking where to buy it if things have changed. Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW shout out to my homies who remember me back when I used to travel there and post here regularly. Thanks again.
