    06/2021 - In the Blink of An Eye

    I just stayed in BBs last week. In preparation for my trip I downloaded the latest version of the rules last weekend from the newsletter and the prices were what I had expected from my research (2500ST/4500LT). But when I arrived this past Monday, at the end of my 1st session the chica told me that the rates had been increased by 500 pesos! Of course this is not enough to get excited about & I paid it after having the mamasan confirm that the rates indeed has just been increased.

    Now what’s really interesting is that this sudden price increase was done like a day after the 3pm liquor embargo went into effect in Sosua! You be the judge of whether that’s a coincidence or not…

    Price for short-time has doubled in ten years but the dollar exchange rate has only improved by 65%. That means BB price has increased by 20% in real terms. Is the experience 20% better? The amenities have improved but the service from the girls has deteriorated. But that is no doubt a nationwide problem.

    Those are BB prices. Sosua street prices are always what you personally can get away with.
