Checked out Ladio Spa in Puerto Plata on my last night.
Very nice place.
Nice bar setup and the rooms are very nice and clean.
It was nice to hear some English music for a change and the staff are very nice.
The problem is that the prices are not so nice. 8O
A small Presidente is 100P and they have no Miller.
The price for a massage is $150US which is fucking muy loco. 8O
I asked for the price in pesos and was quoted 3500P which is a bit closer to reasonable and much better than the US$ price.
They do have some nice chicas here.
Spent some time getting to know Jennifer who is 20 and extremely beautiful and friendly.
I was beat and not up for a massage at this time but I did have a few hours early the next day before my flight and we checked out Sencacions Cabanas.
This place is nice.
We got a nice big room with jacuzzi.
Price including a Miller and coke was just under 500P which seems very cheap to me.
The Miller was only 60P which is a great price.
Had a few more MGDs before heading out and one more for the road.
She is a bit passive and shy but we had a nice time and she accompanied me to the airport to say goodbye.
In case any of the owners of these establishments read this, I am going to offer some friendly comments/advice.
These are simply my humble opinions and certainly nothing to get bent out of shape about.
Ladio Spa, I don't see how you will survive with your price structure.
3500P is excessive but $150US is fucking ridiculous. 8O
You have a nice place and I can appreciate the startup costs but you can't expect to recoup so much from each customer.
At these prices you may never recoup your costs. :?
I would argue that the price is so prohibitive to so many that there will never be the required bulk business.
100P for a small Presidente is too much.
Make it more reasonable and you will get increased traffic which means more people coming by to at least have some drinks.
Get some Miller/MGD at a reasonable price.
Set up some fans around the bar.
Give that dog a bath.
