| Bottom Line: |
I’ve been wanting to join a bikini site for a while now, but never bothered because I’m not really into softcore. I was browsing through sites with a TBP/PU discount or full trial and Bikini Dream popped up. I figured that risking $10 for a small network (through a reputable biller) wasn’t a big deal.
Subjectively, I’m a bit disappointed, but that’s my fault. The site is more softcore than I even imagined it could be. While all of the models are beautiful, many of the bikinis aren’t all that revealing. With very rare occasions, there is no nudity at all, and that is usually just breasts. But… having said that, the videos are still good once you recognize that this isn’t a nude site.
The videos all follow a simple theme: put a beautiful young model in a bikini and let her pose at a beach or some other outdoor venue. It’s simple, but it works. There are about 5-6 videos shot on Miami-area beaches of girls just sunning themselves.
My biggest complaint with the site is that approximately 75% of the models have only photos available. That alone isn’t a deal breaker, but the fact that the photos aren’t available as a zip doesn’t make sense. This isn’t 1999 any longer. The photos that you do take the time to download aren’t all that impressive. They aren’t terrible, but they are lower resolution than customers would expect in 2011.
As for the technical bits, the site is very basic. There is no search function, but one really isn’t needed given the volume of the content. There are approximately 250 sets available, dating from 2005 to current (there appear to be weekly updates). Of those sets, less than 70 have videos. The videos are in 1280x720 resolution with all having approximately 3500kbps. Subjectively, the quality looks good and is up to industry standards, but they should consider offering higher-res videos or HD on new shoots.
Bikini Dream is part of a small network, which certainly increases the value of the membership. None of the other sites have exclusive content though, and most of it is readily available elsewhere. The additional sites are grouped around a common theme, like “Stunners” for beautiful women or “All Anal XXX” for anal sex. All of the additional sites are fairly small and have the same technical specs as Bikini Dream.
So is Bikini Dream worth the price of the membership? If you join for the 5-day full trial at $9.95, definitely; if you sign up for the full month membership, probably not. I’m not interested in many of the sites on the network and I was easily able to download everything I wanted in a day. Thankfully the site supports download managers so I was able to queue up all the scenes I wanted and let FDM do all the work. If you have a specific interest in (mostly) non-nude bikini modeling, this site is worth looking at. If one of the other sites on the network tickles your fancy, the trial is still a good value but keep in mind that it isn’t exclusive. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
