Blackbeards Customer Comments

[bandera]

Hi,

I was considering a weekend get away to Blackbeards. Thinking 4 days 3 nights. Sent an email making inquiry for this weekend Mar 12th to the 15th (Friday to Monday), 2010.

Got a rather curt reply back as follows:

"We have NO rooms open for this weekend and a waiting list.

Regards,
Management
www.blackbeardsadultresort.com
809-970-3268"

The only thing missing was the post script, "OH and by the way go Phuck Yourself"

I respond “OK, do you have anything available in March or April 2010 for a 4 day 3 night stay. Prefer Friday to Monday or even Thursday to Monday”. I am waiting to hear back, NOT.

This must be a excellent resort with a solid business plan if they are booked solid with a waiting list. Maybe it’s me, but I felt a little less than welcome in their email response. Perhaps a better response might have been, "We are sorry. We are booked on the dates you have requested. Here are some alternate dates for you to consider as we look forward to having you as our guest".

The response I received felt like they were screaming at me with the capital "NO" and couldn't give a crap about me and my travel interests. But, hey they got it going on with a waiting list too. So they probably couldn't give a crap about me and a new customer opportunity.

I happen to live in the DR near Santiago and was thinking of a weekend breather at BB's to relax and party in a friendly environment. I visit Sosua once a month for a long weekend stay and thought this time I might check out BB's for a softer point and click scene.

But honestly, after reading about no BBBJ, survey questionaires at the end of my stay, drama with the chicas, house rules orientation upon arrival, the prices on their menus for food and drink, Taxi Mafia, and the final straw this curt email, they can continue to enjoy their successful business model without my patronage. I doubt they will miss me and I doubt I will miss them.

For those that are fans I am glad you have found your little slice of paradise. For me it's NEXT! I guess its back to the big leagues and another action packed balls to the wall weekend in Sosua. Thank you God! What was I thinking when I considered putting training wheels on my Hog and taking the pedestrian route to bliss?

Tranquilo manos,

Bandera

i never liked bb's for more than one night so it was a blessing they had no room at the inn and you can just bypass the training wheels and go direct to sosua

I am subscribed to their newsletter and on their they say to really booked in advance. Of course not everybody is subscribed tho I even bet the majority of male mongers on Earth are not lol so that response was totally inappropriate!!!!!!!!

You are right they really could have answered you a "We are sorry. We are booked on the dates you have requested. Here are some alternate dates for you to consider as we look forward to having you as our guest"
and for that one BB...

Tell me about it!!!

I always think about making a comeback there but the round taxi mafia trip POP airport to BB is 90 bucks and I am talking US!!!!...at this price I can have TWO round trips from my house to JFK with a cab!!!! I mean where are we?!?!?!?!? smh!!

Then of course I think about the strip at night on Sosua when you come from Dr.Rosen and look the other way!

[bklyndrguy]

huh $90 for round trip ? holy moly i used to pay 5 years ago $30 for r/t i would never stay in that place anyway its no night life and anyplace u wana go u need a texi

They do get booked up fast BB. You have to book usually at least 1-2 months in advance. Mostly they have return customers there from what i saw. I kind of felt the same way before i got there on the customer service issue with them. But i will say even with that i did enjoy myself once i arrived to the resort. The bbbj issue does suck, being that I enjoy that. Plain and simple they need to work on their communication either by phone or by email with their US or English speaking customers. Maybe they should let the women handle that. I am going there for the weekend during the Bikini contest. The rest of the time I will spend in sosua during the week. My fist time in sosua..

Why not try the Field of Dreams Inn. Closer to the casinos, golf and Sosua with chicas on site as well. A little cheaper and the food is better. Don't have any interest in hotel any more but I still drop in for the scenery and drinks.

[SeaWeed]

why would any monger go to an enclosed hotel and choose only what the resorts supplies when you can go to Sosua and virtually pick from hundreds and take dem wherever you want.......mi don't get it......plus their prices are higher there

the only thing I can think of is it might be okay for those attached mongers that want to slip away from the AI's and get some side action......but for the solo mongers I really don't get it.......

Thanks to all for the insight and to all for letting me vent a bit.

I take the bus or a private car, not an airplane to the North Coast. I expressed this to them in my initial email. Here is the string...

"Hi,

I am interested in availability of a standard or deluxe single

Dates: March 12 to 15, 2010 (this weekend)

Also, from the Caribe Tour Bus Station in Puerto Plata what is the travel time/distance? Would you suggest a motoconcho?

Thank you,"

If they are speaking Engles as a second language, I fully understand as I speak Espanol as a second language. Perhaps we both should have provide a bilingual email improving overall communications efforts. I read and understand Espanol very well and speak like a Cuban American from Miami. Go figure!

Anyway, I have moved on. I wish all continued success, enjoyment, and positive Karma. Look forward to partying on in Sosua with you guys!

Peace,

Bandera

I was thinking of some serious R&R time for a long weekend with a full on automatic point and click remote control couch potato like weekend with chicas, food, cold beverages, water, beach, and good service with a nice room in a compound like environment.

But you have asked some very good questions. I am going to have to get back to you with my answers and/or justification. I am becoming nervous that my man card or worse, my monger card is at risk of suspension for a weak moment in even considering a reservation at BB.

See you all in Sosua!

I am starting to panic a little. Whats this about the no BBBJ's? I only been there twice, and all the girls i was with gave BBBJ.

We dropped into Field Of Dreams on our way up to Puerto Plata two Saturdays ago just in time for the bikini contest. While the staff was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable with drinks at the bar, gotta say that the talent on hand left a lot to be desired. Among the 20-25 girls that came out, there were maybe 2-3 that were even "doable" - the rest were mostly in need of a diet and a few trips to the gym. We were already busy coming up with alternate names for the place - "Field of Screams", "Field of No Opportunities", "Field of Nightmares", etc. Of course, these things are always cyclical, and within a few weeks they may have a more enticing crew on hand.

Also made it up to Blackbeards for dinner on what was a pretty mellow Saturday night. Poked our heads into the disco upstairs afterwards, but didn't see much going on, and headed on back to Sosua and Classicos.

BTW - the "no BBBJ" thing at Blackbeards is real - it's not just a matter of personal hygiene, your connection with the girl, or any of that bullshit. You may want to think about that before booking if it's a deal breaker for you.

I visited FOD 3 times while staying in Cabarete for a month. Didn't stay overnight but had a great short time session with a different girl on each occasion. I really liked the way the place was set up. Found that there was a better selection of girls earlier in the day taking it easy around the pool. There are some real gems hanging out there but they are problaly snapped up as fast as they appear. I agree that these things are cyclical and I suggest that you don't write FOD off. I met Randall who had just taken over the management several weeks before my first visit and it seems that he will only improve the operation and the next time I am down will be spending a couple of days there.

I am not trying to be the torch bearer for BB's or anything but why can't it just be different strokes for different folks? I'm kind of offended that it is being inferred that those who frequent BB's are wet behind the ears newbies who don't know any better. I feel like I've been to Sosua and BB's both enough times to know the pros and cons of both. And Sosua doesn't impress me so much that I don't want to ever return to BB's. Does that mean I need training wheels? Am I somehow an inferior monger because I like to go there? It's really apples and oranges...comparing the two places is like comparing a Harley and a Cadillac. Yes both will get you from point A to B, but the similarities pretty much stop there.

Alright I feel better now.

I imagine comparing BB to Sosua is like comparing a swimming pool to the ocean. You can get bitten by sharks in one, or eventually get tired of bumping into walls in the other. Either one will give you a refreshing workout, so long as you don't overdo it and drown yourself.

There ya go!

LJDMV, he can't put up the names of the girls. Remember BB's follows threads concerning their resort, so you can bet the problem with less than cordial responses will be addressed immediately.

Also, any girls being identified as giving bbbj's get canned. We don't want that now, do we?

[culebra]

I received a similar email reply when I wanted to book last December. I was able to overcome it but ended up in the suite room for a 10 day stay at a higher price (compared to a single room) than I would have liked. What I figured out is that the persons replying to email inquiries are english as second language capable and as a result their customer service responses are not what we are used too. Yes, they are offputting and fustrating by email. This is certainly an area that John the Owner can improve upon. When you arrive in person, the customer service is fine and you will have an enjoyable time.

As to the BBBJ, the answer is, it depends. Some do & some don't. If it's a deal breaker for you then just ask the girl upfront and move onto another. Personally, I prefer a BBBJ, but I also respect a girl who puts her health first. It also shows good sense that the management encourages the awareness of health issues amoung the girls.

Some people like strawberry and some like pistaschio, thats why there is Sosua and a BB's, let's let everyone be happy.
