Hey guys,
I'll be traveling to Medellin in a couple weeks. I've never been there or even to Colombia before. What is the Mansion? I see guys posting about it, but can someone explain what it is and how things work?
Thanks a million!

I stayed there a couple of years ago on my first trip to Colombia. The price, location, friendly staff, and the fellowship of the other guests were all outstanding.

Thanks a million![/QUOTE]It, with its sister property which just up the hill from the Mansion, are bed and breakfast places. The guests are almost exclusively European, Australian and from the USA There are a number of young women (most are university students) that come by to lay by the pool or the private club which in English is called "the cave." If they're there they are open to a couple of hours of personal attention for the usual sum of 150000 COP. I highly recommend the Mansion for the new visitor to Medellin. There are usually some seasoned visitors that have valuable information about the City of Eternal Spring. And, of course, take the time to read here.
Only good energy!
CS, nice meeting you the other day mate. I was a little disappointed in Liquid Lounge with the 20, 000 pesos entry fee.
I guess it comes with two drinks but as I drink water, its a bit steep.

[QUOTE=CultureShock; 1459172]Opening of Liquid Lounge on Saturday was fun, and the girls from La Cueva came out. Ratio of girls to guys was 2:1, and more than a few went home alone.

A. G.[/QUOTE]AG, likewise and I am looking forward to my stay at the Mansion.
I can understand why the cover charge may be a concern for those of us who do not drink so much. However, to be fair you should consider the bars in that location (Barrio Colombia). For example, just a block away the cover at the MIA Room is 20,000 pesos and it does not include any free drinks. I think it's at least $30 to get into Amara Unica, provided the doorman likes the way you are dressed and you have a token female in your group.
Comparing it to night clubs, there is a 10,000 peso cover at Fase II and that's earns you nothing except the privilege of buying a single beer for 16,000 pesos.
Probley because I live here and don't go out much and if I do want to do a little dancing, I have La Cueva at the Mansion, which costs nothing for me to enter.
I just thought it was a little steep, that's all.
As for Amara Unica and MIA Room, I live here and never been, might have to go and check it out!
FASE II 10, 000, gone up from 5, 000 ?
This long weekend, taking a group of tourists to Hacienda Napoli's and Puerto Barrio on the Rio Magdalena.

[QUOTE=Legal Tender;1458251]I infrequently stay at the Mansion, but highly recommend it for new visitors to Medellin. But the notion that it will rent rooms on a "short time" basis is an idea that ought to be reexamined. It would be disruptive and only bring more problems. There are plenty of love motels, I would not stay in one as my hotel. Is someone thinking?[/QUOTE]I agree with this too. I was planning on staying at the mansion, but I may need to reconsider.
What are some local Colombian real estate websites? Want to get an idea of what is available and for what price.
Thanks

[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1450965]Since, I'm not that up on the wireless technology, I was wondering if this phone could be used in other countries? Ideally, it would be nice to have a smartphone that could be used in multiple locations, and just switch the card. I keep acquiring shit ones, and leaving them wherever I go.The reason that I bought this phone is that it can be used in almost any country (possible exceptions are Japan and South Korea). The "quad band" part means that it works on 4 "bands" which are radio frequencies that different countries operate on, most countries will be covered under a quad band phone. All the Americas. Europe. Asia. (I have seen reports that exceptions are Japan and South Korea) I'm not sure what countries it does not work in. If you are not worried about data and internet (I really like GPS maps and translator as well as looking having FB other social networks to check messages on the go) then there are even much cheaper phones you can get that are like the cheap ones I used to buy in other countries...[/QUOTE]Thank you for this post. I'm on the hunt for a Colombian cell phone up grade and a gift.
I'd second that. I've stayed at his places only twice, but the limited experiences that I've had with Rich's places have left me with a very good opinion of his outfit and the way they do business. Most of the people I've talked to that have either bought or rented from them say they are straight players.

[QUOTE=Ouzo 12;1458969]Dude, you practically live on this board, get a life![/QUOTE]Based on Save's reports and life travels, I'm guessing he has had, and is having, one pretty sweet fucking life! Crawl back into the 8th grade because I think you obviously flunked life dude.
I will be staying at the Mansion again from Dec 4th thru Dec 12th and I can barely contain my excitement.
I was lucky enough on my 1st trip to meet the Liquid Lounge guy on here and another seasoned Mansion vet and they have suggested many lovelies that I need to try out when I return.
Anyone else staying there during this timeframe?
