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

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
