Definitely talk to Pedro. He is in charge of the day to day operations. Jeffrey is now in the background just doing the emails and reservations. It is supposed to be $40 Us to the girl for ST and $20ST for the standard room. Where they are ripping outsiders off is charging $40 for the room, but giving you a suite, not a regular room.
Husker Dude, are you sure its $20 for a standard room ST (2 hours)?
I keep hearing the price has gone up. I will take advantage of this in a few days if it is true that the cost is $20 for a ST room at FOD. (Not doubting you. Just trying to get an accurate assessment before I taxi all the way out there).
You don't want to talk to Jeffery, you want to talk to Pedro.

Actually, I used the SUV for almost half of my sexcapades LOL.
Yes, very ghetto.
I give you a lot of credit, for a first timer with no spanish you really went for it. I just hope you parked in a safe spot. Personally I would never travel 2500 miles and at quite an expense to have sex in a car, I'll spring the extra few bucks and fuck in a nice comfortable bed. Glad you had a great time.
I stopped by (FoD) in March around 3 pm on a Tuesday. There were about 10 girls lounging around. I talked to the bartender and she said $60 for the girl / $20 for the short stay room. I also founds reports on other foums stating the same rate. I was going to go to BlackBeards, but they were all booked, and had no short stay rooms.
Your US $80 total agrees with other recent reports, but I am sure you or the bartender have the split wrong. FoD chicas have been charging 1600 pesos for ST for a year or two now as Haunted's recent report confirms.
Thank you Lou32 for the info and thank you Geolopes for starting this thread. It does make it a lot easer to find out info here I think everybody is going to have a fav or one they have had problems with. I also feel that having two that are close are great to give you a choice. I don't care for BB but I would hate to see it go away. I think there is more then enough room for both. I will be there Tue and I will give my report on here then. I don't know why though someone that is in the DR alot has not asked Jeffery why the $80 for the st and put it here. If I see him while I am there I will ask. Once again everyone thanks for the info this is great.
You don't want to talk to Jeffery, you want to talk to Pedro.
We have a thread on La Romana with only 110 posts in 12 years. I guess we will surpass that total here within a year easily.
There you go, Geolopes. We are 20% there already after only six days. You are vindicated!
Next step should be to copy any useful Field of Dreams posts from the Puerto Plata section to here. If there are any. They may all be already outdated.

Yes, please ask Jeffery about the exorbitant rates for ST. There has to be some business reason for it that I don't see. I'll be in Sosua this weekend and FOD would get some of my ST money if the room rates were reasonable (like RD $500 per hour or something like that).
Thanks Haunted. It seems FOD is counting on guys that do this sort of fall back, Plan be type session. I certainly understand why you went through with it. Question is: Will you ever return? Also, did they turn down the deafening music volume yet and how many overnight guests were staying there? Regarding Charles post, the BB's girls have to pay around 1,000 to 1,500 pesos monthly direct to their Mamasans. This fund is what the Mamasans are paid from for their services such as the complicated chica scheduling, conflict resolution, putting on the bikini contest events, etc. It might be splitting hairs on the legality question but it seems to be working OK.

There were maybe 10-12 girls, ranging from 5-8, and maybe 4 patrons.
Most of the chicas looked hardened / pro.
Chatted with about 4 or 5, confirmed they were too pro for my liking, and / or couldn't agree on services.
Every chica quoted same rate, 80 US for 2 hours. Ddidn't matter if I wanted 5 minutes, or an hour. Still $80.
After my beer I decided this was not for me, but on my way out spotted a nice chica, chatted with her, and agreed on services.
Now she said ok to 40 for one hour, but of course when we went to the bar to pay, they told me the 80 flat rate deal.
I said to myself WTF, the day sucked anyways and I didn't want to return home without a nut so I agreed.
The room I had was good. AC worked find, TV had lots of channels, water pressure was good, hot water, and clean.
Girl was a solid 7. 5-8. Full GFE. Perhaps a little too inexperienced for me though, but still definitely a good time, and definite repeat. OUTSIDE FOD.
We ended up using the whole 2 hours, and I tipped her for another nut. I think I gave her around 20 or 25 US for the tip. She told me she gets 1600 pesos from 80 US I paid the bar.
My friends were there earlier during the day, just a few hours before me.
They were also quoted 80 USD for 2 hours.
That's just a ridiculous rate.
I noticed Thursday and Friday night there seemed to be alot of traffic in and out.
I did forget my vibrator there, and returned several hours later and one of the guys working there returned it to me.
I still find the whole sitting in a bar full of chicas, and interviewing them to be very awkward.
It's also difficult to tell from afar sometimes their real appearance. A couple girls looked relatively 'fresh' from afar, and when I motioned for them to come talk to me, when they were close I could see they were def not fresh and looked more pro material.
I appreciate that they didn't come and harass me though. But still, I find it weird to be sitting there window shopping, interview and then send them away for the next one.
Maybe it's just because I'm a newbie to this scene.
She told me she gets 1600 pesos from 80 US I paid the bar.
This confirms what I have always understood. Field of Dreams take no fee or commission from the chica. Blackbeards never did either, the idea being that they could not then be charged with pimping (unlike Passions for example).
I am not sure if Blackbeards still take no money from the chicas. In any case, I don't think that argument would protect either place if the authorities wanted to shut them down. They could easily find other reasons.
The two hotels make their money from rooms, drinks, food, and scraps of commission from tours and money changing, etc.
In the case of Field of Dreams it appears they are now charging 1850 pesos (over US $42) for a ST room (2 hours). Whether they can get enough customers to pay that amount is doubtful. They are relying on guys like Haunted from the AIs. They don't want to rent a car to go to Sosua, find a working girl, then pay for a cabana. 90% of them wouldn't have a clue how to do all that anyway, so two hours with a pretty girl and nice room for US $80 still looks a bargain compared with the US.
Although fewer guys paying more may mean they do not lose out on room income, they will not take as much at the bar and for meals.
