places like 'club fantasy island' are for the people who don't know any better and/or have more money than brains. you'd be paying $4-500/day for chicas who you could have outside of that place for $50-75. And I don't mean chicas on the same level of looks - i mean the exact same chicas.
Yes, Blackbeards is fine. You cannot go wrong there. You pay a slight premium for having everything on site but that is only fair. Not a rip-off like the other places you mention.
However, I would hardly call Blackbeards "freelance". You don't say how long you are going for, but if for more than a week you might like to spend half at Blackbeards and the second half in Sosua really "freelance"
Freelance was probably not the best word I could have chosen. Whereas at CFI and the like, you have to choose a companion for a full 24 hour period (and are thus stuck with a 'wife for a night') before being able to change to a different one , Blackbeards gives the opportunity to do do shorttime with any of the ladies present, whenever, or not. Longtime, also, of course. To me, that's less regimented than CFI, thus more freelance. Staying in Sosua, at a fairly decent hotel, mongering the clubs and other venues for talent, would truly be freelance, no doubt.
I'm planning now for a seven night stay. I don't know if i'd consider splitting that between two hotels or not. It's doable but maybe not sensible.
Thanks so much,

My first ever DR trip I stayed two weeks at Blackbeards, rarely ventured outside, and loved every minute. Could have stayed another two weeks without getting bored. I am an old fart. I hate changes to routine and it takes me ages to get organized so, like you, I wouldn't want to move if only there for a week. But many of our younger members think nothing of staying only one night in a place than changing.
A point to note is that, unless you rent a car (and that needs thinking about carefully) you will either be stuck at Blackbeards or have to rely on very expensive taxis if you want to see more of the country. Whereas Field of Dreams is situated on the main road between Puerto Plata and Sosua, and there is very cheap public transport running 24/7 from there to anywhere on the North Coast.
But I don't think you will get bored at Blackbeards in only seven days, and if you make friends with other mongers (easily done there) you might be able to share transport for outings.
Incidentally, although I loved Blackbeards on that first trip, I was never tempted to go back there on any of the subsequent seven. I preferred "freelancing."

I'll take another look at FOD. I considered their all-inclusive package and then forgot about them due to price. Their ala cart pricing isn't bad. I'm 57 now, and I do like to get settled in and comfortable with the people and surroundings wherever I go. Settling in at Blackbeards is looking pretty good right now. As far as getting outside Costambar, I don't know, maybe for a day or so, hopefully I could partner up with other guests, to share costs and enjoy the company.Originally Posted by weyland;12look 74606
I'm excited. My old soul really takes a while to recuperate when making those long Asian flights. The nearness of the DR, along with the available fun, just seems too good to be true. I'm going to find out, that's for sure.
Many thanks for your comments and advice.

Hello Everyone,
Well, after a few visits to other countries with affordable gorgeous women, I'm finally coming to DR! This is a fairly last minute decision so I don't have all my plans made yet! Thanks for everyone who contributes to this forum as I'm sure it will help me greatly. I'm trying to have a read now in between trying to learn some Spanish! It would be great to meet up with some members when I'm there (I'm a Brit in my 30s if that is important to anyone!)
