Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Mr Gogo]Starting June 18th Spirit air will fly to Santiago from Ft. Lauderdale.

Just a heads up for fellow travelers.[/QUOTE]
I heard Santiago isn't a friendly airport to fly into. Surcharges and foreigners get the once over.

[QUOTE=TeamHorny]Maybe the bikini three judges could chip in say 500dop/15usd or more towards the winners and runners up. I mean it is fun to be a judge with the extra grinding. When I go back in July I personally plan on letting the girls know that the winner and runners up will win either some cash or small electronic gifts I haven't decided yet. I wonder if that would increase the enthusiasm. Then they could show my Johnson some enthusiasm. What do guys think.[/QUOTE]What?

I'm sorry but is it me or did Black Beards really change? I've been a fan of Black Beards since they first opened. I think it is a great place to have a fun, relax, and indulge in your fantasies. Unfortunately, due to changes by management and the females attitudes, the place has changed a lot. The bikini contest used to be a huge party that somestimes included a jacuzzi party, and everyone drinking and living a fantasy. Now, BB girls want to be paid to go into the jacuzzi, some don't perform bbbj, and it seems more like a business than a fantasy vacation. What happened? I felt Black Beards was the affordable alternative to vikings adult resort.

If I have to come out of my own pocket to make the girls a little more enthusiastic to perform during the bikini contest, than management needs to have a long talk with the girls. Management makes a lot of money from drinks and when I am there, many of the visitors are buying drinks for everyone. The Bikini Contest is a big draw for them, and I feel that they don't want anyone to mess around with that.

Interesting comment. I flew into STI back in June (08) and had no problems. I was in and out of the airport in 10 mins max. The people were nice and friendly and I had some small talk with some of the airport workers. I always had the impression it was POP airport that one had to worry about, but after going through POP last month, I can say despite what others have reported, I had no problems and was waved through quickly.

It appears they change their email account. Try this one Ehunter it's on their new web site. [email]info.newgarden@gmail.com[/email]

New website address is [url]www.newgardenhotel.net[/url] you will find it there under "Contact Us".

Thanks Bigup

There is an error on their webpage. The HOME area of their webpage, next to the last paragraph says to contact Wilfred at [email]info@hotelnewgarden.net[/email].

The “contact us” reference you posted gives a different [email]info.newgarden@gmail.com[/email] address. It seems that this one works.

my first visit to sosua was about 6 years ago. before sosua, i had been in punta cana and boca chica. 6 years ago i visited sosua in december and i flew out of newark airport on american airlines. the winds were gusting at newark, so the plane was delayed an hour. i had a connecting flight on american eagle in san juan for puerto plata. the connecting flight to puerto plata was scheduled to leave san juan at 1p. m. the flight out of newark landed in san juan at 12:50 pm. american airlines did not hold the 40 seat turbo prop, that was going to puerto plata, as such any passengers on my flight going to puerto plata missed the flight. to me american airlines should have delayed the 40 seat turbo prop maybe 30 minutes, so people from my flight could get on that flight and get to puerto plata. american airlines had no other flights going to puerto plata that day. the woman from american airlines, i spoke with at the gate said i would have to spend the night in san juan (at my own expense, american airlines offered nothing as far as a hotel or any help) and take the flight to puerto plata the next day at 1pm. i went to other airlines in the airport at san juan and asked if they had flights to puerto plata that day, they all said no.

i then went to an american airlines ticket agent to ask for advice and the woman informed me that i had been booked onto the 3:30pm flight (unknown to me before that) to santo domingo, at which point i had to run to the gate to catch this flight. this plane landed in santo domingo around 5pm, there were at least 20 people who were on the newark flight who were supposed to go to puerto plata. at the airport in santo domingo we were informed that our luggage was still in san juan. i decided to rent a car and drive to puerto plata. i believe american airlines offered transportation to the other passengers for the trip to puerto plata.

i left santo domingo airport at around 5:30pm, with no luggage, heading for sosua. i had never driven before in dominican republic and my spanish was not great. i drove into the city of santo domingo and got lost for what seemed like 2 hours, before finally finding the highway that goes to santiago. i asked numerous people for directions, but i understood very little what they were saying, the people were all very nice.

the highway was dark, with the one toll booth at the beginning. i got lost in santiago as well. eventually i got on the twisty, turny road that goes through the mountain from santiago to puerto plata. very little traffic, one metro bus flew by me, he must have been going at least 100mph. i hit one large pothole at 65mph and almost lost control of the car.

eventually i got into puerto plata. some musical group had decided to give a free concert at some gas station, so the traffic stopped for an hour. eventually i got on the road that goes to sosua, drove past the brugal factory and playa dorado complex. 6 years ago this road was beat up. within the last few years they repaved it, it is much better now. i was driving a mitsubishi compact car from avis. that car took a beating, the potholes that i hit at speed, i am surprised that the tires never blew out.

i had two friends who were waiting for me at the sosua bay hotel. the first time, i drove past sosua, not knowing where sosua was and stopped at the gas station that is going in the direction of cabarete. it was now past 11 pm and i had been driving for over 6 hours, i had left my house at 5am that day. eventually i found the sosua bay hotel and checked in, with no luggage. my friends had already acclimated themselves to sosua and had done some chicas.

in those days high caribe disco was open, big disco with an outdoor area, the building is still there (closed now), near to the car wash, about 5 minutes by car from classicos. they had a cock fight show in the high caribe disco, one night. there was another disco above alf's internet cafe, on the second floor, on the other side of the street from the classicos and down the block. it had a small little square dance floor and they would show videos on the wall above the bar. plutos bar was on the corner, they had paintings of the disney character on their walls.

i had no luggage and i called american airlines the next day. they said i could pick up my luggage at the puerto plata airport after 2pm. around 3pm, i drove over to the airport and entered into where you pick up luggage, near the baggage carousel. they have a metal cage there where they store luggage that is waiting to get picked up. my luggage was not there. i went back to my hotel, where i discovered that my luggage had been delivered to the hotel.

sosua bay hotel in those days was a good hotel, we were friendly with the people at the front desk and when we returned we always got an ocean view room, a few times they put us into the victorian house, we would always give them propinas or small gifts. the food was good, made to order omelettes, shakes in the morning, pick and choose meats and fish that the chef would cook in front of you. specialty nights, seafood night with all you can eat oysters and lobster. the price for a package deal (airfare, food and hotel) was inexpensive, 5 nts for about 500 dollars from new york. i rented a room at rocky's and had a place to screw chicas.

going back to new york our flight was delayed, there was a snow storm in new york and the plane was about 4 hours late. we eventually got on the plane and the stewardesses seemed a little drunk. they were giggly and laughing. the captain made an announcement that we would be delayed another hour, because a headlight on the plane struck a chicken while landing and we would have to wait while they changed the headlight. i think the pilot may have been drinking too, i think he was trying to be funny by saying the plane hit a chicken. maybe a bird, but i doubt it was a chicken. at the puerto plata airport you can sometimes see the guy they send out to shoot the birds near the runway. i saw him one time with a rifle driving an all terrain vehicle, getting off the atv to shoot numerous birds.

it was a bumpy flight, in the middle of the flight the plane dropped what seemed at least 1 thousand feet and veered to the right, i could hear the engines being revved hard. then when we were coming into land, we were close to touching down, when the pilot pulled out of the landing and went back in the air and we flew around for another hour. when we landed we were told that they did not have people there to put the ramp to the door of the plane and that we would have to wait another hour, this was at jfk airport.

one bit of advice, if you are connecting to puerto plata through san juan, try to get into san juan as early as you can, because i believe american airlines only has one connecting flight to puerto plata per day and if you miss that flight, you will be stuck either staying overnight in san juan or going to santo domingo and then a long ride to puerto plata.

If business falls then management will have to make a change or they will not stay in business. I do not foresee that just because BBs has a pretty loyal following.

I went last year in Jan. I had a good time. Not a great time. Sosua is more my taste. I like La Passions for a good BBBJ and the Classicos at night. The beach is a nice distraction too.

I am at new garden now (girls out number the swinging dicks 4 to 1) if someone needs for me to give ng a message. Let me know. Very few gringos here now but lots of euro guys. They mostly just drink and hang together so as of last night the girls were coming at us non stop.

Guys,

A quick question on new gardens. I am planning a long term stay in sosua and it is essential that I have reliable internet access. They say at new garden they have wi fi. Does anyone have any experiance on the in room wi-fi there? It would help a lot. I have been burned at hotels in the past on this can't take chances this time. Rather trust you guys who will be unbiased.

Thanks!

Do anyone know where to find som exciting daytime activity. Last time I saw a lot of "old girls" hanging around in the bars, but no really pretty. Where to go?

Ask them which of the following emails are correct then suggest they properly update their website to reflect that:

1) HOME area of their webpage (the next to the last paragraph) says to contact Wilfred at [email]info@hotelnewgarden.net[/email]. (that email address does not exist)

2) Then the “contact us” area of the website gives: [email]info.newgarden@gmail.com[/email]

3) Then another guy below says to try [email]hotel.garden@codetel.net.do[/email]

damn! man that was a brutal first run! i'm glad you survived it though. makes me more thankful for a board like this so that newbies can learn from others. great report!
