Puerto Plata

[QUOTE=Yanqui69]This should be another "business lesson" to wht ownership.
Drop the deposit arrangement. If a potential guest has a chance of losing part or all of his deposit if he has to change his plans, he will be reluctant to make that reservation. Why should he, when there are plenty of other places there that don't demand that?

I actually called in October about making a reservation, but wa put off when the deposit requirement was explained to me. Too many ways that plans can change.
Why worry about canceled bookings at this point, when the place is full of empty rooms?
Make things easy for guests and get some business first!![/QUOTE]

Actually I think you summed things up well with the MR. I think the idea of the MR is sound, but running a strip club/wh*rehouse is far different than running a hotel with take out/delivery options. I'm sure if Billy were here he would be the first to agree.

I am far from the expert here, but lower introductory pricing, proper placements of "advertising", lienient deposit policies, positive feedback over time from all the forums (from credible sources), etc. would all be things that I would consider in making a business plan for them among alot of other things. Heck even the idea of giving away complimentary stays in some kind of contest I mentioned earlier would be an thought here. You just cannot go under the idea of "If I build it, they will come". That only works in the movies.

One of the reasons that his competition got to where they are at is that they had a plan and progressed slowly. It will cost more than just paint and refurbushing, as well as greased palms, to get the MR up and running. He should not be done with start up costs if he wants an earlier return on investment, that he may or may not get back. The clock is going tick-tock, tick-tock.

The MR does have several very positive things going for it. Proximity to Puerto Plata (and especially Playa Dorada), access to chicas from his strip club, the name Cristals which is well known in the area, etc. are all things going for it. Lino cannot be a stupid guy as he has been able to build up a business like his strip club, so there is some hope here. He can't operate with the attitude that he is the only game in town, and right now his competition is more from BB's than from Vikings, Oxygen and the like. One day he may be able to move the bar to where he is the mid level competition to the high priced All Inclusives, but that is not today.

My 2 cents on how to solve one of the worlds most pressing problems in 4 paragraphs or less.

Hey Guys,

I've been browsing through the photos over the past few days and I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the women. I don't mean to come across as a jerk but I prefer spending time with one superhot babe for a few days compared to plowing through a huge number of women. I've been on mongering trips to Colombia and Brazil and as a comparison, the quality seems a bit lower. Everyone has their own tastes but, I am into the caramel skin, european/spanish look vs. The more traditional carribbean look.

Does the DR have women that would suit my tastes? I have already booked a trip there and wouldn't mind some company. Any helpful comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dr. P

I think you will find that the Dominican women are much more attractive than you think. What the photos often don't capture are the stunning smiles, white teeth, smooth skin, the eye contact, and the personality of the young women you will meet.

I have never been to Brazil or Colombia, but I have looked at lots of photos of girls from those countries and I feel rather as you do about the photos of DR girls, that they don't look all that great to me and are all these enthusisasts a bit crazy?

You will find stunning Dominican women everywhere you go and a very high proportion will be amenable to a friendly approach from a gringo.

Great post Frannie! A lot of people are very down on Dominicanas these days.
I think they are among the most beautiful women in the world. The diversity that you can find on that Island is unbelievable. You cannot judge an entire islands beauty based on a few photos of a very small part of the DR.

I was blown away at how truly pretty the girls in Brazil were despite going with lower expectations based on photos.

My buddy who has been to Brazil, Colombia, and Dominican on mongering trips says that DR is very different than but Brazil and Colombia, but its got a unique charm that I should love. I'm going with high hopes and will post a review.

Glad to see the quality has gone up significantly!

Dr. P[/QUOTE]Dr. P,

I can appreciate your criticism. However, that doesn't mean I agree. I mean, from the photos posted both here and moreso in the photo gallery...in most countries' threads, the women look pretty bottom of the barrel in my opinion. Most are never of the caliber that I would pick. Of course, sometimes you have to think of other factors that lead to guys posting pictures:

- I've found that most of the more attractive girls do not allow photos of them
- Maybe the guy really connected with a girl as far as chemistry goes and thus, she had a great attitude which is why he photographed her
- Beer goggles?
- And, of course, we all have different tastes

After a few years of hobbying I recently had an epiphany. I love all women! Black, Blonde, Brown, Yellow, Red, Tall, Short, skinny, thick, NOT FAT, curvaceous, big tits, small tits, small ass, thick ass, nice eyes, plain eyes, long hair, short hair. It seems that if you take a few minutes to think about it, there's is something beautiful about ALMOST every woman you meet. At least, that's my opinion. I for one started out looking for the tall, slim, blonde, blue-eyed bombshells with the porn star faces. Got tired of that and went on to black women with rich, caramel colored skin and juicy asses with sexy, wet, thick lips. Got tired of that and moved to Miami. Home of the Latinas. Started with Cubanas, got sick of them, then Argentines, Peruvianas, and those fucking Colombianas! I'll never tire of Colombianas! Now I'm going through my Dominicana stage which I'll probably phase out of next year, when I hope to move on to Costa Ricans and Brazilians. I personally have never had a thing for purely Asian women (I. E. Chinese, Japanese, etc), however, I love Filipinas and Thais. I have made it a goal to get to China or Japan within the next three years and just see what happens. Point is. Don't limit yourself based on preconceptions. You're obviously entitled to your preference, but as a brother of the hobby, I'd encourage you to embrace not only DomRep and all the ladies they have to offer, but also the other women of the world. They all have something to offer and will leave an indeliable mark on you in one way or another. I've had great times in both Colombia and DomRep, but they were two TOTALLY different types of women and experiences. Good luck in DomRep, I KNOW you will have fun if you use the resources available on this forum!

Scuss,

Kindly post a review of Oxygen upon your return.

Rodeo9112,

LOL at 'not fat'

Thanks rodeo. I intend to embrace many dominican women of all shapes and colors (but, not fat. LOL)

I am heading to BB this weekend for 2 days. Always been a dream of mine to pilage and plunder in DR. Question, can I buy levitra or viagra at the pharmacies there?

Thanks
