Thanks for the informed opinions

There is a rumor that the Russians have one of these but I have never heard of anyone alive to tell the story!

Actually great place in Odessa (Old USSR)

No idea what all the controversy was about this post, simply asked if something similar to BB's existed, obviously not and a few that didn't understand post get all hopped up over my not falling in love with some hotel in Sosua, been there many times and not what I was looking for

Thanks to those who could read and understand post and provided answers, both on board and via PM

Sorry not to answer your question.... but, if I had a friend that had never seen the DR, I would take him with me, drive the mountain road to Santiago (great view), drop him off in the Monument area at Ahi bar, go do my business in La Vega, pick him up later.

Make sure he has a cell phone to call you and a map of the area, by the time you get there he will be in love.

You could try that one day.

PS, what days are you going?

Comparable to Blackbeards.. none.

The New Garden hotel is the closest you will get. There are always girls hanging around there, but there are no controls over them like you find at Blackbeards.

But your friend can easily keep himself occupied there.

You won't find another place like Blackbeards in the country (for that price)

Likewise, you won't find another disco quite like Classicos anywhere on the island either.

JD is right on the money. Nothing really simular to BB's on the Northcoast. But the New Garden will work for your friend. A few chicas will even show up around breakfast time and come and go all day. Most are regulars, know the rules, and won't cause problems.

Plenty of english speaking guys around, and the NG staff is helpfull.

Get your friend a map of Sosua and he'll be fine. And the beach is literally a left at the sidewalk, a right at the intersection and a left at the end of the strip. Unless he is extremely timid, he'll have fun exploring.

Closest to what your looking if it must be in PP is "Fields of Dreams". Across form Playa Dorodo, recently refurbished, much nicer (rooms, pool and grounds) than New Garden and lots of chicas hanging around the pool daily. They feed them so they come (never seen a Dominican turn down a free meal

I'd call it a in between solution from BB and New Garden. Around 50.00 a night (more or less). Well run and not bad location.

singletravel is right on the money with Field of Dreams. Not quite as nice as Blackbeards, but really close. Blackbeards definitely has more girls.
If he's a golfer, 18 holes are practically across the street.

New Garden if you prefer he's in town.

I am heading to the DR for the 1st time and since I will only be there 2-3 days I want to maximize my time...Should I do the tour69.com thing or can I am I better off finding a local chica to spend 48 hours with and getting my own resort package? If so, how do I accomplish that without wasting a day looking or risk getting ripped off by an less than willing companion?

Any help is appreciated.

We will spend three weeks doing just that, once I have finalized some business and I don't fall off the so called "tourist" road :-)

He has no desire to get up each day at 5 am and hang out in Santiago while I do my thing, much prefers to spend the time at hotel/resort hat has what he wants and then we can go into Sosua, Cabarete at night. simple concept really

He is medically retired NAVY SPECOPS, timid is not in play. He has a very slight shoulder injury, nothing that prevents him from doing what 10 normal men could do

He simply asked to find a place where he could hang out, maybe pick up a diving tour, ATV tour etc while I was in Santiago couple days, no big deal, doesn't need chaperone's..wee will be all over Island teh next two weeks, just thought there might be something similar to BB's where he could base himself until I got back at night, really simple if you think about it

Maybe we will give New Garden Hotel a look, thanks for the info
