Blackbeards Resort

[QUOTE=Damone123;2033146]My spanish is very basic. It sounds like a decent set up for what I am looking for. Last concern I have is that I have medication (insulin) that should be stored in fridge. Also have syringes. I am type 1 diabetic since I was a kid (Its kept me fit, due to healthy lifestyle from a young age) No worries there, but I am concerned about security and if it would be safe in fridge in room. Maybe I can put syringes in safe, but again not sure how secure that is. Any opinions on safety of such items or advice would be great.

You have been really helpful so far. Thanks again![/QUOTE]I have a friend that has been going to Blackbeard's for over ten years and leaves his insulin and syringes right on the counter and has never had anything stolen. Insulin and syringes are available at any pharmacy without a prescription if anything were to happen so I wouldn't be concerned.

Arrived at STI today around 6 pm. Much thanks to Mr Gogo for allaying my fears of the weather forecasts in his normal gracious manner. Thanks also to Mr Pooter for responding in length as well (though the remarks on what kind of person would be fearful of not knowing what exactly to expect in a country one's never been too were a bit unwarranted and caustic for an honest question, which turned me off from responding. That being said, one still shouldn't solicit advice w / out repaying w / a report. So here we go).

Nelson picked me up from the airport. From rtff, know it could've been done cheaper, but as it's my first time here on zero sleep in 40 hrs and I was already getting in a bit late, for me it was worth the $95 hit to not have to risk finding a less dependable way to BB.

Got to BB after a quick stop in at Jenny's supermarket, where I received the same exchange rate as the one stated on today's dop: usd Google search. Paid Nico in pesos, who was supremely helpful and welcoming, and went to the room to freshen up around 8 pm.

When I got to the bar around 8:30, there were around thirteen girls in the bar area. Seemed to be cliqued up in two groups of 5 or so with three girls, two of whom were the hottest girls there from the ones I could see. Before I could make eye contact, two of the girls from one of the groups of 5 beelined over to me and started the full-court threesome press. Fingers through hair, grinding, boobs all over me, kisses on the neck. The darker toned girl had a nice slim body on her with cute face, but I managed to finagle my way out of their proposed threesome to go upstairs with her friend who was about 5'3", lighter toned with a solid phat a $$, nice legs that led one's eyes to her perfect booty, and a cute baby face.

She says vamos, I said OK. She goes to get her stuff from her room and is back in 3 min. She goes up the stairs first shaking that booty as I cup her plump firm cheeks. YMMV, but we started immediately with groaning (her) DFK'ing, followed by DATY, emphatic BBBJ & ball-licking / sucking. Once I can't take anymore she throws a condom on me and then gets on for a reverse CG. She's just using me in the best way possible at this point, grinding her g-spot on my head, but after a while I want to take over so I flip her to missionary. Big mistake. Should've stayed in CG because I finished shortly thereafter LOL. 1800 pesos for just over an hour and one pop but total GFE so no complaints.

After the long flight, lack of sleep, and too much vodka. I decided to crash till manana. More reports to come.

During the week at least, as previously stated in this forum, the girls start to clear out by 11 and the bars / restaurants in the gated area close as well, so for newbies- plan your evening & expectations accordingly. Disappointment is the product of mismanaged expectations.

Also, the girl w the perfect booty short the time to just under an hour but as it was $262 cheaper than an HR GFE at home and she was very very very GFE w me, (kept going for df & rimmed me during the BBBJ, which isn't my #1 fave but does show how willing the girl was to please me), I didn't mind since my little brain had finished and my big brain just wanted to crash.

Will give her slim darker complexion friend with the nice rack a turn tomorrow and at least one / two more ladies. Report to come. (For the veterans, stating now that it won't be as enthralling as JamesBlack's reports but will be just as honest.).

You said nothing about being fearful. You were worried you might be "bored", which I thought was odd coming from someone who was not only visiting a country for the first time, but would be staying in a brothel where considerations of the weather would be very peripheral.

But I am sorry if you were offended. You have added value to the board with your excellent reports and I hope you will continue them. Such detailed reports from first-timers (to the benefit of those debating whether or not to visit the DR) are the most valuable part of the board.

And more relevant for the average monger.

You're correct, wording could have been better. Also, you were right, having a great time despite the occasional rain.

Keep your syringes in your room safe and the insulin vials in your room fridge in a protective container. Best to place the vials on the bottom of the fridge or on the fridge door shelf away from the ice cube tray to avoid freezing it. The maids won't touch it. If concerned put a note that says, "medecina" on it and you'll be fine. Pharmacy across from Jenny's should have it in stock just in case. Watch your hard booze intake as you know. They have high sugar soft drinks in the fridge in case you're having a hypoglycemic reaction at night or just buy some OJ at Jenny's and put it in the fridge. Bring some high carb snacks in your carry on store them in the closet. The Chicas seem to enjoy chewy granola bars at token gifts after. LOL. Enjoy!

I agree that the taxi ride from Santiago to Costambar is a killer. That said, I just checked Travelocity for flights from my city in Florida, and POP was $220 more expensive than STI, so its still cheaper, though that trip to / from the airport would be a pain.

Suggestion, when you post reports regarding the chicas, both good and bad, its helpful if you can post the name. The information is useful, - but not if we don't know which chica we're talking about.

Thanks again; look forward to further posts.

Suerte,

Y69.

Day 2:

Got up a little late today. Didn't plan my day out very well, so I only ended up going with one chica. More on that later.

Went downstairs in search of some food. There were roughly 8-10 girls entertaining themselves due to the lack of guests. Decided to walk to Rick's to check out their menu, as the girls were being pretty aggressive and I was hungry for food.

Ricks Cafe menu seemed geared towards Americans, so I decided to turn around and check out the restaurant on the beach here, Estrella del Mar. About a 5-10 minute easy walk from BB. Seemed very safe during the day. The service was great, beer was cold, and menu varied. Not sure the cost relative to local price points, but compared to home was very cheap. I got the fried fish w french fries; awesome. The adjacent restaurants seemed to have many locals patronizing them, usually a good indicator of quality. May try them out tomorrow.

Needed to grab some water and supplies so I asked about a moto. The bartenders can order you one if there aren't any present. The cost was 100 pesos to Jenny's and back. Was told they also go to puerto plata for same amount by front desk agent (not Nico).

Got back, went up to the room and ended up passing out till around 5-6. Woke up a bit groggy so went down for coffee. Sat at the bar and the second 3 some pair of the day came over. Deflected for a while and then retreated back to my room with some excuse as I wasn't feeling either girl. Sidenote, I probably sound lame as most may welcome such attention. Personally, I've mongered in Germany many many times so I'm comfortable w the "game" and the women. I'm just more used to and am learning I prefer the guy initiating or indicating interest and then the girl engaging if she wants, saves a lot of time saying no. . Or maybe I am lame LOL.

Went back down to the bar to watch the Caps. Penguins game. Sat down at the end of the bar right by the pool. Just as I did, a cute girl, lighter complexion. Fuller be cups. Tiny belly but slim body otherwise, begins to mi amor me. That's when one of the hotties from yeast beelined right over and cockblocked the other girl. As I was feeling her, I didn't mind. Think her name was Amber, but she had shorter cropped hair, nice full see cups, also lighter toned with a big soft ass. She let me order dinner, garlic & parmesan pasta (very simple but tasty and really all I wanted), eat and watch the game till about halfway thru the third period. Caps were down 2-0 w me watching, so I thought maybe we need a rally-fck, so vamos I said.

We got to the room and she didn't go all business but there was a tone-change. Started w a shower, me first her next. She has a cute more feminine Michelle Rodriguez face, perfectly tiny nipples, trimmed but not quite shaved, perfect plump ass w no cellulite. Did notice a C-section scar and what I think was a small baby bump, since her tits didn't not seem like they had ever nursed & she was tight too.

No DFK or LFK, but whatever. Kissed my body down into the BBBJ. BBBJ skills were excellent but short. Attention to the boys was just very light licking with a hurried HJ. After 5 minutes she looks for cover. Wasn't sure if it was all the presidents and bacardi or knowing that I'm being given the rush-routine, but I could only manage a 75% chub. We start w her on top, but she's got that "he's not into it" look on her face and now I'm starting to lose blood in the desired area. She jumps off and goes back to the BBBJ. Only got to a semi. We switch to DATY, so I can buy some time to wake up my guy. She Os and I try for another cover but it goes again. At this point she seems dejected because it seems my guy likes my stranger hand more than this particular kitty or I'm taking too much time, so I tell her "just too much alcohol", permisso. She understands and asks about tomorrow morning. I deflect w a maybe because I don't sense she'll be any more enthused manana & maybe it wasn't the booze. Paid 1800. She asked for a propina. I give her a look. I know she knows she's not supposed to ask but if she's so hard up to ask for one when clearly I didn't have the best time & what with her maybe having one on the way, whatever. I give her the 200 pesos some have suggested would be an adequate non-bank-breaking propina if no 100 peso notes are on hand. She says thank you and I say goodbye. (For newbies: if you're in the same situation, the hotel's welcome book clearly states the girls are not to demand a tip, so don't feel compelled to comply if asked. There is also a comment card box at the front desk they encourage you to use if you're not satisfied).

Vitamins V or see wouldve helped, they have both for sale at the front desk - 150 pesos for 2, but I have high cholesterol and blood pressure so I've always been wary of taking them as they say those conditions are usually present in the rare cases of heart complications w Vitamin V & the Vitamin see risks sound super crappy. Any advice from experienced veterans with like conditions as to actual risks would be appreciated. Contemplating maaaaybe trying a quarter or half V-pill to mitigate the risks, if need be.

Also for BB newbies, seems that even if she's super into you like my chica yesterday, the girls seem to be aware of how close to 11 pm it is during session, which may lead to a rushed session so she's not stuck here or will have to change plans to get home. Both my sessions have started around 10. Would suggest planning and picking a chica at least by 9 so as to maybe avoid feeling rushed. Will day session & start another before 9 tomorrow to test out my hypothesis & report findings. Also during the week at least the area shuts down by the 11 ish as well so manage expectations if you're interested in partying to the wee hours here.

Have another week in DR, so I'm not put off by how the evening went. Just that the Caps lost. Feel like if I had managed to shoot one in goal, we would've won LOL. Also and at the risk of being obvious, will 100% confirm the advice that spanish helps immensely, as I only speak a little and can tell once my vocab is spent and I can't banter, they seem to bore a bit. Would make it feel much less business-like for those not accustomed to this being a transaction.

Day 3:

Slept in late as I couldn't fall asleep the day before.

Tried to visit The Anchor, up the street from Estrella del Mar, but they're only open from 8 am-2 pm it seems. BTW, there's a small market on that street that has bottles of water for 10 pesos and other goods that seemed very very reasonably priced. Good stop for a road beer and such.

Went back to Estrella del Mar and got the Cordon Bleu. Serviceable but the chicken portion of the dish was an off color but cooked through; no ill effects, but off-putting to the western traveler. Order something else perhaps.

Motoconcho'd to Jenny's for more $ exchange, still 47.2 pesos: and perrier for my vodka sodas.

Took another nap when I got back. Went to the bar when I got up & quickly got snatched up, pun intended, by one of the threesome-girls from the day before. Didn't catch her name, but she was about 5'10" with heels, seemed late 20's, nice rack in dress (droopy when out of it, but still nice), blonde dyed hair (or wig), caramel complexion, long legs, big nipples, w another plump dominicana booty. Face was cute but a wee bit off feature-wise, if you know what I mean. Probably a 6-8 for those adhering to a 1-10 scale, depending on your handicap.

Got to the room and she went to shower. Came out in her towel, and had me lay down. BBBJ was excellent w plenty of sucking of the boys. Will say that in my experience, on average, the BBBJ skills of the DR working girls at BBx are superior to the laufhaus / FKK / agent tours ladies of Germany. She employed the licking up and down the shaft, worked the head well, all that stuff you hope for. Went for the cover but asked for more head; no complaints & then didn't stop till I went for cover. She got on top and started the rodeo. Responded to all my changes in motions and kept up well. Finished fairly quickly as I skipped the DFK and DATY, will explain why shortly. 1800 pesos, no request for tip. Non rushed but could've lasted longer.

As for not attempting DATY, after showering she immediately went to turn off all lights except for one bedside light. I never begrudge a lady for being modest, but with working girls I don't normally attribute this to being modest. Usually, my suspicion is there's something amiss whether it just be something she's self conscious of or that there's something off otherwise. Either way, when she does that I normally skip the DATY as it's never pleasant going down there only to find you don't want to be down there. Regardless, second best encounter of the trip.

Walked her out and took a quick wash and chilled before heading out for dinner. Got a motoconcho to take me to "a bueno ristorante"(sp? Dude took me the loooong way to the Italian place right around the corner next to Rick's. Didn't feel like bitching him out for trying to hustle, so I said maybe somewhere different and then most of the way to Jenny's market made him turn around to take me back to the Italian place. If he's going to hustle me for 100 pesos, I was going to make him drive me around a bit first.

Free mini bruschetta plate when I sat down. Menu was quite varied. Got the chicken parm. I know LOL. Which was good & the correct color meat, one small presidente and a bottle of water for 880 pesos total. A little pricey compared to other meals I've had but it was well prepared meal, definitely a good place to go once you tire of the BB dinner menu. If you are allergic to cats maybe find another place though as there are two that seem to live there, had a feeding bowl. Walked the 3 minutes back to BB LOL.

Once back at BB, they had the Thursday disco thing going. My room's right outside of the upstairs bar area they hold it in. I work nights, so the noise wouldn't bother me when I'm sleeping but if it bothers you, you may want to ask for a room away from here if you're noise-sensitive. They do finish by 11 however, so if you're up till then anyway it's a non-issue. Also the wifi is freaking excellent in this room, netflix streams like at home.

Walked by the disco room and katya (not sure if I heard the name right) from my first night cut me off at my room. Welcome surprise as I was going to try to find her anyway. Same performance as first night. I'm not sure I mentioned it but she's about 5'5" w small A cups and that solid phat booty I noted, if you want to find her. Started the session at 10:45 and finished by 11:50 as she had a motoconcho waiting for her till it we were finished. I think I may have inadvertently gotten pegged as a quickie artist & may be getting rushed since the girls talk, although I am pulling sessions right up at the cut-off time. Will mention something to the next girl, but for $33 I'm not hurting. Just don't want to alter standards for mongers to follow; previous posts have stated that tourist mongers who agree to any price lower than home have jacked up the market prices in places like Costa Roca and I think Sosua as well maybe. Really just mention it to advise newbies to try to set what your standards w / your first session so that when the girls talk w each other they'll know what to expect from you.

Sidenote, noticing some weird ISG server access issues when I try to post. No problem viewing, but as soon as I post once or try to post, I can't hit the server for like a day. Haven't been able to reach the site since last night. (Just came back up now) Not super concerned but I consider myself street smart and the key to that for me is always being able to tell when somethings even the slightest bit off and then weighing risks. That being said and since I'm including a lot of details that may make me easily identifiable to the staff and other mongers here in town that may be reading the forum, I may compose and save subsequent reports to post when I get back home in a week or so. I value my anonymity. Know I'm most likely just being paranoid but since it'll be my ass if I'm not, I'll probably just play it safe after posting this report. Don't want to join dave for the indefinite DR stay.

Almost forgot! Newbies-- Do not use your smartphone in the passenger's seat w / your window wide open. Was informed motorcyclists snatching smartphones as they drive by isn't unheard of, especially leaving Santiago airport.

Checking out of BB tomorrow to go to Sosua, then back to BB to finish out the trip. As I mentioned in the next trip report, I may not post next reports till I get home but will keep accurate notes to share once I get home.

Thanks again to all the veteran posters. Having a great time and I owe it to all of your advice.

[QUOTE=InigoMontoya;2034532]Day 2&3:
.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the post.

I'd like to suggest a few points.

On the poor chica experience; it seemed there was no chemistry. I'd suggest cutting your losses. Unless you don't give up easily, thank her for her time, and pay / see her off. You didn't climax, so paying full price was her propina. I wouldn't have given more. Don't encourage an indifferent performance.

Yes, try to establish upfront what you want, so there are no misunderstandings or surprises. Yes, the girls will share with the others what a guy likes, if he is abusive or a gentleman, etc. The semi-aggressive approach of the chicas you describe is a new development. Used to be the case that they waited for a look from you, or the come on was much more subtle. That said, a caress or a quick grope from a younger woman is not totally unpleasant.

On the subject of Viagra, not sure if you know, but the farmacia across from Jenny's sells it at way below US prices (and cheaper than the hotel). I am not a doctor, but a quick internet check on WebMD, says if you are healthy enough to have sex, you can use V without fear. But, as you say, start at half dose (50 MG).

On late hour dates, I never had a problem with that. Talk to the chica. Some commute from local communities, some rent rooms in Costambar or Puerto Plata. But buses to the other towns run very late.

Inigos post about girls having slight attitude about not finishing, rushing and communication being an issue concerns me. How will they act with someone like me who is only interested in foot fetish, being massaged and given a hand job? If it turns awkward cause its not what there used to it will suck. So maybe pulling chicas from Habanos in Panama would be better being that its not a brothel. I have no issue getting sex but It is more difficult to convince a girl to satisfy my foot fetish than getting her to fuck me. Which is why I turn to Pros for this. Any feedback would be welcome, but I feel like I am the oddball here, so maybe hard for you guys to relate.

Note that in his reports, he also mentions a great experience he had with another. That happens. I was a regular there for about 6-7 years. Some girls are into it, some not. Some may give a half-hearted BJ, some will dive in, without being asked. Cut the losses with the former, and concentrate on the latter. That is why trip reports should ALWAYS include the name of the chica. A review of a nameless chica does me little good.

As I said earlier, when you arrive, settle in, get comfortable, and if your Spanish is limited, talk to the chica that manages the others, explaining what you want. Without explaining, girls presume you want the "usual" but would be more than happy to go with massage, feet, etc. I really think you'll have no problems. Trust me, these girls have heard far worse requests than a foot fetish. For a relative newby, with limited Spanish, this is my recommendation.

I understand about the 20% surcharge for using cards, but do they exact you to pay the entire cost per night at that time? That might sound like a stupid question, but the wording used is not exactly clear. If I get a higher end room am I expected to pay near 300 US cash upon arrival. Clarification would be appreciated.
