I could save money by flying into STI and then taking a taxi or bus to Sosua but I put a value on my comfort and time and the amount of money that I would save it is a no go for me but I understand if other guys look at their finances and life differently than me. I have flown into both STI and SDQ once each to try it and there is no way in hell I would do it again to save a few bucks.

It's not like you're screwing chicas 24/7 during your vaca non stop LOL. You do get lots of down time while you sit down in your hotel, playa, waste a bunch of time unless you have a novia there who's stuck on you even when you take a crap. Otherwise saving $400 is definitely worth a 2-4 HR bus trip (that's how much I save flying STI instead of POP). Maybe if you go there for a weekend it's too much travel, but if your vaca is for a week or more, couple hundred dollar saving can get you laid 5-6 times extra. It's not being cheap it's just smart. Bus ride aint that bad either, I've even met some cool chicas while in there or takes a good nap. You got to relax when you're in those places and blend in, incl riding those motochontos for 50 pesos LOL, as I met some of yall who refuse to ride behind a dude in a moto LOL. (same sense of entitlement or think you're better than others, Fools).

I traveled by bus. Fuck that never again. The BUS itself is fine but dealing with Dominican efficiency and respect for timeliness (delays) AFTER I've spent all day getting to the airport at home, dealing with TSA and all the other traveling be. S. Means I'm willing to spend a bit more to relax more. Straight to POP from now on.
It's the man's money and time. It does not concern anyone but him. He gets to decide how he wants to spend it. I have other preferences With my money which I am entitled to.
Everyone is entitled to spend their own money as they see fit without anyone else's say so or opinion.

Completely agree; spend whatever makes you happy!
[QUOTE=Lou32;2484534]About 4 guys total and about 6 girls. Very few want to risk it apparently.[/QUOTE]Hey everyone!
Anyone on the ground there that can update how things are running? How many chicas, how is it with the curfew etc? Thanks!

It was an enjoyable experience to see the country from the bus window for 2.5 hours. It was comfortable. I was astounded at the amount of trash everywhere. What a truly shithole country in some ways! Everyone drinks bottled water since they never built a desalination plant and proper pipes-so they all drink bottled water and throw the bottles everywhere. Ridiculous. Disgusting.
I don't think I would be comfortable right now taking the bus because sitting in a small closed space with random people for hours is a recipe to get Coronavirus-and there is no way the the. Are. Government has stamped out the virus there.
I really enjoyed my few days at Blackbeards. Hot enough -though pushy at time-girls, fair prices, decent food. I suggest taking the nearby gondola cable car ride and checking out that scene during your down time. The beaches were meh at best-full of trash like the whole island.
There were a couple of decent enough restaurants nearby for variety. Keeping the girls overnight was a much much better deal then a short time stay. I planned on going back this year, but that's on hold until 2021.
If I were to go now: I would ask the front desk if there are any girls. They know that aren't there that they could contact to come spend a couple of days / nights with me--and then I would try to isolate with one of the more 'scared' ones who generally are staying away for now--but will come out occasionally for a price--I would guess. The risk of covid form them may be less. But, really, its all Russian roulette right now-is it worth risking your life or the life of others for a blow job?
Overall, I think the medellin girls are hotter--ut there def. Are some gems--and having everything: food, bed, chicks in one spot made Blackbeards fun for a few days. If they had more girls of Medellin quality hotness -I would stay longer. It took me 3 days to rotate through all the ones I would stick my dick in. In Colombia-you never run out of hotties. YMMV.
I must say I'm quite surprised I wasn't expecting the sky to open and FR's start raining down upon us. But I thought for sure a few from this board would take the dive immediately after they reopened on the 15th. It seems like they're doing whatever they can to ensure the safety of both the chicas and the guests. The most current newsletter received on the 4th of October indicates that some nights they have had as many as 20 chicas available. I don't know how that would compare to the average number before the pandemic but seems reasonable enough to me. It also says that they've had veteran Pirates as well as some new faces I hope it's more than just a trickle of clientele and they can hold on until things normalize again.

But what about the punters. Since this virus is easily transmitted it would be better if they test everyone daily.
New monger here looking to travel to Blackbeards in a few weeks, help me guys.
What airline should I fly into that is closest to resort and what are the rates with the mangos?

The answers you seek are readily available with a simple keyword search in this thread or in the FAQ on the Blackbeard's website / buried treasure newsletter. Otherwise you're just going to be met with the cold shoulder and a suggestion to RTFF. I have no doubt there are numerous members of this thread that would be happy to assist you in answering any questions you may have regarding topics that are not already covered in detail. That being said I am new myself and looking forward to making my maiden voyage to BB's good luck in your search and hope to see a field report detailing your experience.

I won't pretend I know the ins-and-outs of the Dominican economy but with that being said tourism is a huge part of it. Tourism is likely the reason that they dropped the requirement for the negative covid-19 test on the 15th of September and switched over to random. I personally think daily testing would put a lot of mongers and chicas off and likely hurt the economy even more than this virus already has.

Plenty of info on the Blackbeards forum about getting to the resort from each airport.
