Hello All,
Will be planning a trip to Santa Marta in a few months for business. and would like to do some mongering down there. I've been to cali a couple times. so I am not a newbie to SA, so any info on SM is greatly appreciated.
Could somebody help me with the rates of the hotels please?
I hear they are nice.
[QUOTE=VipMedellin]Could somebody help me with the rates of the hotels please?[/QUOTE]I tried to send you a PM but I was unable to.
Send me some contact info via PM.
I've got some questions for you. Maybe you can help me out.
I'm planning to go there next year and I was interested on where to go for fun...
Thanks - MC
Anyone have any info on where to monger in Santa Marta? I'll be there March 15th-31st if anyone wants to meet up and hit the clubs.

I have been in Santa Marta. It is a nice town and the people is nice too but I don't like to reach Santa Marta again for mongering, even if it is very easy to meet nice and available girls. ;)

Can you elaborate on why ?
You all are probably thinking Rodadero area, right? There are places, I've been told, but I've never mongered in there. Always brought my own chica with me, which allowed me not to have to worry about that part of my trip. If you're expecting to walk around or sit around and point and click like Cartagena, wipe Santa Marta completely out of your mind. If you speak very little Spanish, again, forget it.
There are a couple of monger places inside the city of Santa Marta. However, it's dicey there and the talent is only okay. And the best spots are pretty pricey for only decent talent. I've been told this by several who hadn't heeded the warnings of others. Not recommended.
Rodadero is the beach resort area which is 10-15 mins (by bus) outside of Santa Marta proper. Primarily Colombian families and couples go there to vacation. Also great if you got a particular lady friend that you want to kick it with. Most groups of girls seen there are either locals (Sundays), or are visiting from Barranquilla and probably headed back that evening. For normal discos, there's La Escollera and La Puerta. Might see a bunch of other foreign tourists there. However, it's significantly less touristy than Cartagena.
Be prepared to speak Spanish only and observe Colombian customs. When I was there in November, one of my beach vendor buddies came back to tell us of some "gringos" who got fleeced for COP 80.000 for a beach tent and COP200.000 for one of those beach massages. They paid, but everyone on the beach had a true laugh at how stupid people could be. Not even about the money, just the lack of common sense. Yes, they became everyone's target as well.
There is a set price on a menu for everything on the beach. From the massage ladies to the restaurants to the bars, to the beach tents, there is a set price. Ask for a menu upfront.
Best bets-
- As you should start with always, ask your taxi driver coming from the airport.
- Ask the guys working the beach stalls and restaurants in Rodadero. When my lady or my group of Colombian friends weren't with me at the moment, a few made it known that they have "chica friends" available and a discreet meeting could be set-up with a few to choose from.
- If you speak Spanish, and spot someone interesting on the beach, and she's alone (rare, but happens), make a move. If you don't speak Spanish, you won't be able to communicate the subtleties needed to spark further interest. Remember she's on vacation by herself, she doesn't need your money. Another of the major differences between SM and CTG.
- Do a search on this site. Someone had previously posted the names of a few p4p places there.
Hope that helps. Best of luck!!!
Like HH, I ALWAYS brought a chica (or two (: ) along so I never mongered there. I never regretted that as there aint much girl action at all (unlike some places- i.e. the time I brought a Filipina to Thailand and Cambodia LOL!)
La Escollera disco SOUNDS great, and looks very impressive (it was built by a hollywood studio as a movie set), but is quite costly and there was never anybody else in there when we went (and certainly no hookers). There is also the disco above Foto Japon on the beach road but it was always empty too.
Went to the one nightclub I saw once, when my chica's flight home left before mine, which was out on the main highway. It was a VERY dumpy looking place which had maybe 4 mediocre chicas asking 150,000 for ST.
During the week it is TOTALLY DEAD, quite a bit livelier on Friday and Saturday night. But 99% of the girls are with their families and friends on short vacations and not likely to run straight to the sack with a gringo. Not impossible, but exceedingly challenging. Also most aprtment buildings are VERY guest unfriendly as they insist you ALWAYS wear these plastic wristbands they give you when you check in. Also, I never found an apartment with hot water (only Hotel Tamaca had it, where we moved to get a hot shower). The expensive resorts down by the airport like Zuana certainly would have hot water. The standard of apartrments is MUCH lower than CTG (think of El Conquistador in Laguito and you get the idea).
The reasons to go up there are to mingle with Colombians and get away from gringos (although you can do that in BAQ which is LOADED with available girls and only half as far from CTG). Also, for scuba diving Taganga (other side of SM proper from Rodadero) is second only to San Andres in Colombia (better than Islas Rosario or spots near CTG). Finally, the beaches are certainly better than the ones in CTG (not saying much IMHO).
To get to the really good beaches, in Parque Tayrona, requires some serious commitment: 22,000 Pesos PER DAY entry fee for foreigners as of last year so I bet it is 25,000 by now), either hiring a taxi for the full day or taking a bus then hiking from the main road to the park entrance (over 3 miles). Once you get to the park entrance the hike to the first safe beach (without rip currents and sharks) takes about 90 minutes along a muddy trial (wear wetsuit booties instead of shoes if it has rained in recent days and expect your shoes to get VERY muddy). You MUST have a valid yellow fever certificate to enter ($100 shot which takes 10 days to be effective so get it at home before leaving) and douse yourself with mosquito repellent.
Finally, check the security situation (ask locals in SM proper or Rodadero) BEFORE venturing out as conditions change daily. You hear more about robbery by common criminals than FARC incidents. The paramilitaries are very powerful by the beaches (the guerillas control the mountains including the path to Ciudad Perdida where the mass kidnapping of foreign hikers (much discussed in the media) took place a couple years back.
Thanks for the Info guys, I really appreciate it!
I also agree with Hoof Hunter. I have been to Santa Marta with a chica friend. We stayed in the beach area called Rodadero. I didn't see any places for mongering in SM proper. However, I was not looking.
I did see some chicas who may have been WGs on the boardwalk along the beach in Rodaero. This was late at night, after 11 pm. Vendors sell tourist things along the boardwalk until midnight or so. Some chicas were standing around sometimes smiling at some men, so I assumed there were working.
There was not the kind of action and selection that you might see in Cartagena.
Sylvester
I don't like Santa Marta because it is a very hot place. Then I don't like bar, striptease and brothels. I did not see more girls than in other towns in Colombia.
Now I ask some info to Hoof Hunter and George90.
I'd like to reach Colombia again. On the net I have just known a beautifil girl in Medellin. I'd like to bring her with my to the beach and spend one week with her but I am afraid she will steal me. That idea gnaws me as a worm.
I have read many many problems of girlfriends with tourists.
Does anybody can me something?
thanks
Surfer - Got your PM. No worries about that. Got the same info. Tried to PM you back, but your's is full.
Foxes- My views might not be popular, but they come from personal experience.
I don't think it's the best idea to take some chick that you really don't know, esp. just from the internet, on a vacation with you. What's the rush? It's your vacation, not hers. If she's interested in meeting you, go meet her in Medellin, bond with her there. If all's well, great. Next time you're in Colombia, if she's still around, invite her to the beach. If she flips out or says no to meeting you in Medellin, lose her immediately. She's hiding something in Medellin and/or just playing you for the vacation.
A couple of questions for you to think about.
- What NORMAL chica will just leave her security (family and friends) to meet up with someone they've never met before in person? Yes, it happens, but what usually happens are the results that you've been reading about. Those chicks weren't so normal after all.
- What kind of girl with a REAL job in Colombia can get a week off just like that right now? Not common at all in Colombia. Maybe a weekend, maybe a few days during Christmas, New Years, Semana Santa or Carnaval, but a week? Yeah right. And school is back in session.
I'm not sure what you mean by "I am afraid she will steal me." If you have such doubts already, forget it completely for now and revert back to what I asked. What's the rush?
For me, a chick will have to earn a trip to the beach with me. It's not automatic. There are way more available beautiful quality chicas in Colombia than just one. This is one of the reasons many Colombian men don't put up with the BS that foreigners do. Desperation is the worst personal attribute to bring abroad.
I wish you luck with your decision. I'm really not trying to discourage you. Just want you to think things through, and remain on top of the situation. The ladies that I've taken to the beach, I'd known them for quite a while prior to inviting them to the beach with me. I'd also known their families and their normal lives. None of them were "working" girls. Go to Colombia, set your own agenda, and enjoy YOUR vacation. Remember, there are plenty of girls in Colombia. Don't have your vacation beholden to just one girl, esp. one that you barely know nor fully trust.

I'm with Hoof on this one. If you don't trust her, then don't take her. Plain and simple.
In December 2006 I paid 21,000 for me and 7,000 COP for my chica at the eastern side of Parque Tayrona. The bus from the Santa Marta center market was about 3,000 COP. The girl I took was not happy about the bus, since she was dressed for the beach. I had to buy her a shirt outside the Parque in order to keep her happy on the ride back at the end of the day.
I'm not quibbling over 1,000 COP, Surfer has excellent info in that post and my trips to Colombia would have been much more mundane if I did not have the advantage of reading his many posts before I went. I'm just spitting out what it says on my reciept.

Jelly Donut,
Thanks for the post... did they require proof of a Yellow Fever Vaccine upon entering Tayrona? I've been 3 times over the last 4 years and Ive never once been asked for it.. fortunetely as I've never had proof. However, there is a big sign upon entrance stating Yellow Fever Vaccine required. Could you kindly let me know if you were asked for proof or if you showed your vaccine paperwork to them as I am planning on going to Tayrona this month... and as usual I won't have my paperwork.

Thanks for the accolades (hope you don't get flamed for it LOL).
Fee of 7K for Colombianas (Wolfybaby has a US passport but looks Colombian and they did not ask him so I was the only one to get goughed) is much more reasonable, so a guy like winner who speaks fluent Spanish and looks Colombiano could probably pass for the 7,000 local rate.
More than the cost increase what ticked me off was the fact that a year or so before a ticket was good for 3 days! And you could enter one day at Canaveral and another at Neguanje.
I omitted to mention one more cost, that for either the boat (for Playa Cristal) or the horses (La Piscina and El Cabo). The restaurants at Arrecifes are pricey for what you get too. As lovely as Tayrona is, all that money is NOT being put back into the park for maintence etc.
They never stopped people from entering because of no yellow fever certificate on any of my visits, like they would in the US, but that does NOT mean that dispensing with the vacination is very smart IMHO.
Wow. I did not see that sign and was not asked for proof of anything, aside from my passport/number.
For me, it was just a day trip. I'm not sure if they would require more paperwork if I had stayed overnight, but I suspect the answer is no.

Jelly Donut- They would ask for it when you get off the bus, where you enter the park and pay... the place where you have the choice of a long walk to the jungle portion of the walk or take a jeep. That's where they'd ask... where the sign is. Thus it's irrelevant if you stay overnight or not.
Surfer... actually I don't really look like a Colombiano... though I can get away with it solely because of my ability to speak Spanish and living there so much I've learned to talk like a Costeno. So... I talk like a Costeno and people always ask me if I'm a Cachaco... not because of my looks, but because of my Spanish. And if I say, "Yes." Most say "really".. and if I continue to say yes.. they believe. Though I do have dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and a typical middle aged gringo beer gut.

Hello,, all,
Just a quick report on Santa Marta, a few months ago I made a general request for mongering info on this city, and was greeted with some negativity in private messages from board members, so heres some mongering info on this city.
I recently spent 3 weeks in SM, and did alot of pro and non-pro hunting.
Santa Marta does have a semi lively p4p scene. I was told there is only 1 club called Babilonia, but discovered there are 4 active clubs called Playboy, Babilonia, Hollywood, and Flamingo.
I only visited 3 of them, Playboy, Babilonia and flamingo. Most girls were in the 3-7 range at playboy and babilonia with the average being 5's, but the best selection was at Flamingo where they had about 15-18 girls that ranged from 4-7, with an occasional 8 or 9, I'm not into the hourly thing, but rather the All night thing (TLN) the girls at Flamingo are always rotating, and work there for 2-4 weeks at a time, often traveling from other cities so there friends and family won't learn they are working as *****s.
My first night the girls were wanting 300k cop for TLN, I just laughed at them and sent them on there way and kept talking the girls down until I started getting more reasonable prices, most girls will want 70-80k as an exit fee, but if you stick to your guns, and wait it out, the bottom line exit house fee is 50k
Prices varied for the girls from 150k-200k cop for TLN, with an exit fee for 50k paid to the house. I don't know what the hourly rates are, so I can't report on that. Over all the girls performance's rated from [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor to excellent, DFK, except for one girl, BBBJ, except for one girl who insisted on covered BJ. Most girls said they don't do anal, but once they learned I had proper lubrication half were willing to do anal.
In 22 days I pulled about 10-11 girls for TLN. With the average price of 200k cop, and 50k exit fee for the house.
I found plenty of non-pro action as well, but overall the quality of non-pro girls was disappointing compared to other cities such as Cali and bogota. But I still managed to get plenty of non-pro action, most were from internet sities who I chatted up a few months prior, and 3 girls were from the street I managed to pick up, but required a few dates before they gave it up.
I only spotted 2 street walkers working the beach in Rodadero, a couple of cute spinner morenas, but I was with a chica at the time, so I didn't have time to talk to them. I returned the next few days looking for them, but was unable to find them. But I didn't spot very many street walkers.
Overall I did have a good time, and got plenty of action.
Only bad thing I have to say about SM is it's fucking hot and humid. But if you can get around that one problem, you'll have plenty of fun.
I'll post a few pics of the girls this weekend.
Hey Senior Ford,
Wanna put this place on our 07 schedule?
From the photo galley thread.
[QUOTE=Brugal8]Arasari,
Very nice pics, I'm surprised at the quality of girls in the clubs of Santa Marta.
You only took out girls from that club.?
How much did you pay for these girls TLN?
How is the security issue in Santa Marta?[/QUOTE]Some of the others girls didn't want there photo taken. but the selection was good.
Yes I wasnt impressed with the girls from the other clubs, so I stuck to flamingos, altho I am told there is one other club called Bananas, and there is a park across the street that has plenty of working girls, I didnt learn about this place until I returned home. but I am told bananas has about 30 girls, but I cannot confirm that.
the names of all 5 clubs are
Pleyboy
Flamingos
Babilonia
Hollywood
Bananas
Sorry no addresses avialable, just ask the Taxi drivers
TLN varied from girl to girl. the lowest I paid was 160k copa + 50k house exit fee, average price was around 200k for TLN
I mainly stayed in the Rodadero area. and some nights stayed out partying/dancing till 4am, and never had a single problem. Plenty of people and police were around during all hours of the day and night, and people were very freindly and helpful, but I also had a chica on my arm most the time.
Couple more pics of some pros, and some non pro's faces blocked out, when I get time, I will make some screen shots from a few videos I collected :)
Again, I didnt keep any of the pro's contact information.
Where did you stay? Were they chica friendly for a different girl every night? do you have a link for us?
thanks, Tania is hot!

There is a HOT blonde (I'm sure it's fake) that works at Flamingos. I had my girl Jessica with me and the girls weren't approaching because of this. But she was nice. Small young little thang. Will hit that next trip in a few weeks if I see her again.
I'm probably the one that mentioned Banana and the park. I was there a month or so ago.
Banana is on a side-street off the main drag coming from the beach area into Santa Marta. It was night time, but the park is next to a body of water. Probably a lake there. There were a number (less than 10) girls that were obviously working girls as they were paying way too close of attention.

If you want performance, try the tall thin morena that goes by the name of Tatiana with long black hair, she will give you a good work over. and takes a good ass pounding.

Hi,
I wanted to visit next month. Can anyone recommend a good chica friendly hotel with A/C. Also, are there any upscale malls for meeting non pro's in the day time.
thanks.
Get an apartment in Rodadero. 50k-80k pesos.
Upscale malls? no
You want to focus your time in Rodadero, Taganga, and Tayrona anyways. Santa Marta is not where you want to be. If you aren't a beach lover, choose another destination. Santa Marta isn't like Medellin and Cali where you go looking around at malls etc for non-pros.

There is definitely a shopping mall in Santa Marta (not El Rodadero, which many people think of as Santa Marta). I'm not sure what W71 is thinking is "upscale", but I'm pretty sure I remember a Studio F there, which is up market in Colombia. I was there with a GF, so I did not flirt with the women.
I stayed at the Hotel Yuldama (El Rodadero), which I expect is girlfriendly at 105,000 per night. For two. I was not really happy with it as it was not on the water and the rooms were small. I went to some of the apartments closer to the water - unfortunately I'm not finding my notes on the details here just this moment - but being on the water is, of course, nicer. I think the prices were in the 300,000 range. This was December last year, prices may be lower in August.
Jelly Donut ~ bracing for Winner71's polemic on the dangers awaiting gringos in Santa Marta :)
There is a beuna vista mall in Santa Marta. I think it is the type of mall you are looking. There were not many people around during the days I was there. It seemed fairly upscale, had movie threatres, food court, etc.
300k to stay on the water? Not even Decameron is that expensive (less than 200k) Nothing wrong with Buena Vista Mall in Santa Marta.. and sure there is a Studio F there, but that doesn't make the mall da bomb. When he asked for a classy mall, I assumed he meant a place to go do chica watching/meeting, I didn't think he was referring to the stores. I.e. Is there a store to buy nice clothes?
So yes, there are the normal stores that you will find in any mall. It's just this mall is not like the malls in Medellin, Cali, Bogota, or Barranquilla. I.e. There's not a hustle and bustle. What this mall does have is an outdoor parking lot, from the looks of it.. you will think the mall is closed. Catch my drift?

Greg,
The guy asked about Santa Marta, not Riohacha. Thus I answered his question about the Santa Marta area. Tayrona is considered the Santa Marta area as it's very close. Riohacha is not. I actually prefer the beaches in Tayrona over Riohacha anyways. Plus, I would not recommend Riohacha to anyone as I don't want people to get the wrong impression and think it's a walk in the park. Could more experienced Colombian travelers such as Ricker annd certainly others get by? Sure. Could the typical gringo that stays at the Mansion and speaks only average Spanish get by? Hmmmm... Let's clarify something. Riohacha is in La Guajira. Riohacha is also very very close to Maicao and the Venezuelan border. In fact this is where you get off the bus to cross the border. This area is notorious for FARC/Paracho gunfights and chances of being in crossfire, getting robbed, kidnapped, taken advantage of etc by your average extranjero traveler are VERY high versus other areas of Colombia. To even mention someone to go there on this board is foolish. If someone asks questions about it... sure I'll answer them. But don't go recommending people go to La Guajira or tout that the beaches are better than Tayrona because that is not true. El Cabo in Tayrona is much nicer than the beaches in La Guajira. I guess it is personal opinion, but that's my take. By the way... the Tayrona entrance is 45 minutes from Santa Marta or can be gotten to by Launcha(boat) in 60-90 minutes from Taganga. Riohacha is a good 4 to 5 hours from Santa Marta... with the last 90 minutes of the ride going through a territory MOST gringos do not belong.. .nor do they belong in Riohacha. That's my advice. Flame it if you want. Just because nothing happened to you does not mean it is safe.
But why should I bring up Riohacha when someone asks about Santa Marta? That is like saying what's wrong with Monteria when someone asks a question about Cartagena. They aren't even in the same state(department).

Yeah. I know 300k seems high, but that's what I'm remembering. This was one of the buildings on the south side of El Rodadero, with direct access to the beach. It was during high season. I'm also a very obvious gringo; maybe they thought I was loaded. Like I say, I don't have my notes, so I can't be sure. It may have been lower than 300k, but I know it was a high number.
I think AG is just playing a game with you.
[QUOTE=Winner71]300k to stay on the water? Not even Decameron is that expensive (less than 200k) Nothing wrong with Buena Vista Mall in Santa Marta.. and sure there is a Studio F there, but that doesn't make the mall da bomb. When he asked for a classy mall, I assumed he meant a place to go do chica watching/meeting, I didn't think he was referring to the stores. I.e. Is there a store to buy nice clothes?
So yes, there are the normal stores that you will find in any mall. It's just this mall is not like the malls in Medellin, Cali, Bogota, or Barranquilla. I.e. There's not a hustle and bustle. What this mall does have is an outdoor parking lot, from the looks of it.. you will think the mall is closed. Catch my drift?[/QUOTE]
Yep.. you got taken behind the wood-shed. Another member here just told me about the prices at Decameron/All-inclusive. I believe it was about 160k-200k pesos for both of them. In fact, I even recommended to him that he stay in an apartment 50 yards from the beach for 50-70k pesos as that is where all the excitement is at anyways. There are some touts on the beach trying to get vacationers to go look at their properties and some look real nice, but I still think 300k is over that. I've stayed at La Sierra. It was 120k for a regular room and 170-180k for a Suite for 2 people. So, I don't know bud. Somebody got a nice fat commission. jaajjaja. In all honesty, apartments are the way to go in Rodadero.
As far as Santa Marta, it's just flat out boring. I regularly take the bus for 1k pesos or a taxi for 6k pesos to spend the day or evening in Santa Marta. Waste of time. Rodadero is where it's at.

Well, in fairness, I did not get taken. At least not that day :)
I just sounded out the rates, thought they were too high, and spent a few more days in the Hotel Yuldama.

For those who didn't see this news article, on the same day as the airline crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil, there was a very similar crash at the Santa Marta airport. Picture is attached. The Aero Republica airliner skidded off the wet runway into the ocean. This caught my eye since I flew on Aero Republica with my novia in June 07. The new article said they are considering closing and moving the airport, which sits on some prime oceanfront property which could then be developed.

[QUOTE=Arasari]From the photo galley thread.
Some of the others girls didn't want there photo taken. but the selection was good.
Yes I wasnt impressed with the girls from the other clubs, so I stuck to flamingos, altho I am told there is one other club called Bananas, and there is a park across the street that has plenty of working girls, I didnt learn about this place until I returned home. but I am told bananas has about 30 girls, but I cannot confirm that.
the names of all 5 clubs are
Pleyboy
Flamingos
Babilonia
Hollywood
Bananas
Sorry no addresses avialable, just ask the Taxi drivers
TLN varied from girl to girl. the lowest I paid was 160k copa + 50k house exit fee, average price was around 200k for TLN
I mainly stayed in the Rodadero area. and some nights stayed out partying/dancing till 4am, and never had a single problem. Plenty of people and police were around during all hours of the day and night, and people were very freindly and helpful, but I also had a chica on my arm most the time.
Couple more pics of some pros, and some non pro's faces blocked out, when I get time, I will make some screen shots from a few videos I collected :)
Again, I didnt keep any of the pro's contact information.[/QUOTE]Based on this, you can go without a chica and there will plenty available to choose from.
I just found some street action on the street calle 10 the girls hand out on the outside alocoholshop/bars or just walk around one chica was called Tatiane, I don't know if it is the same girl as the one from the other reports, she just was walking around the street here in the day and early evening, dark and real nice ass, nice fuck hot looking in a yellow miny skirt, she was grinding on me prity well, and for 60, 000 pesos (30 dollers) and 10, 000 for the room (well it was only a quicky)
The next was was katerine from the bar in the front of miramar hotel on calle 10 not as good looking but she had more enerjy and took it harder and BJ uncovered (but I prefer to be safe so I stuck one on) she would take 30 pesos but I had no change so I gave her 40 (20 dollers)
This town I'm staring to like but I'm of to Cartagena in a week or so, if any mongares around contact me
And P.S. Why has the foram stoped being about women and started to be about apartments, ok I know we need places to stay but there should be more information on the girls.
Nice Report,
Just wondering if you located any casas for daytime action, and also if you found a girl friendly hotel you liked?
Thanks!
Cabroncito. All the main casas in Santa Marta open around 8 or 9pm. Just a suggestion. If you are looking for daytime action most of the gals are at the beauty parlors in the late afternoon (4-6pm) getting their hair and nails done. Go get your haircut. Strike up a conversation one afternoon with one that you like and ask her to lunch, the beach, etc the following day. She'll feel extremely special as you have placed her on this pedestal and gotten her out of the day to day casa life for a day. Most of the gals that work in the casas in Santa Marta are true long-term casa workers as they rotate from casa to casa in numerous cities. You will find some real sweethearts if you take the time to get to know them.

Thanks for the reply but I mainly stick with pro's and semi pro's in Colombia. Life gets too complicated when you end up with 12 girls who all plan on saying goodbye to you at the airport !
So looks like I will relax at the beach during in the daytime, then off to manizales the following week.
I prefer Rioacha than any of the other coastal cities in Colombia.

I recently entered Santa Marta on a few consecutive nights. I was quite disappointed by what I saw.
I went to Bananas first. The talent was mediocre at best. Beers were a little expensive at 4, 000. Somehow I ended up talking to a black chica who wanted 80, 000 or so for an hour. I left soon thereafter.
The street chica scene is centered around the bayside avenue that runs along the beach. There are some restaurants here with sidewalk seating and decent food. If you're standing on the avenue and looking at the beach, the street chicas will congregate down on the far side of the avenue to your right. The chicas come out around 9 pm. I recall seeing 12 of them. I chose the only one without a gut, a chica from Valledupar. We went to a nearby hotel- 40, 000 for her and 5, 000 for the hotel.
The nearby town of Taganga has no P4P whatsoever. I'm not sure about Rodadero.
There is one bar one the beach street called somthing like marina or marino its a place were the guys coming of the boats go for girls, normail in this area you can find a girl for 20000 30000 pesos or you can try up calle 10 near a trukers bar (near bar Reno)
Chica friendly, preferably on a quiet street with internet. 60-120K / night.
Thanks!
Is Santa Marta more interesting during Semana Santa, or is it still pretty boring?
[QUOTE=Jotting]Is Santa Marta more interesting during Semana Santa, or is it still pretty boring?[/QUOTE]Semana santa probably not the best time to visit but I can confirm about 8 good venues when I visited 2 weeks ago. None of the girls I found were costenas, but still many cute ones to choose from. A much cleaner, more relaxing, and cheaper city than Medellin. I hope you speak spanish though.

Any updates on a nice (beachside?) place to stay in SM? I'll be traveling with the gf from CTG, so no need for the place to be girl-friendly. I would like the place to be pretty nice, since I'll be on vacation and it will be her birthday.
Is there a normal (non-P4P) site that guys are using to find lodgings in off-the-beaten-path places like Santa Marta?
Also, any advice on the quickest way to get between CTG & SM overland would be appreciated. We'll be hitting the road in the late afternoon, so I would love it if the trip could be as short as possible.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]The trip is roughly 4 hours from CTG to Santa Marta (Rodadero). I wouldn't count on a late afternoon bus. The one I catch (MarSol) leaves around noon out of CTG. You might end up needing to take a taxi (250,000-300,000 pesos) to Santa Marta if you miss the bus.
You can show up on the scene in Rodadero at the beachside (it's a really short street) and you'll be mobbed by people offering you apartments to stay in. It's not difficult there.

[QUOTE=Jotting]Is Santa Marta more interesting during Semana Santa, or is it still pretty boring?[/QUOTE]I was there just after Semana Santa and it was pretty boring. Santa Marta (Rodadero) isn't really a happening place like Cartagena or other big cities. I saw a few working girls hanging out in some bars a block or two off the beach in Rodadero. As I've previously posted, there is a park around the corner from Bananas that has working girls setting on park benches.
You have to work a little harder. Flamingos and Bananas are about the best places in town and I'm sure they are hit and miss. A taxi driver told me there were 2 new places in town now too. Drove by one of them. I had my novia with me so I couldn't comment on the service. She was willing to go to Bananas but I knew that was a bad idea. That place is more of a chongo and less of a bar or strip club.
David
Hi Guys,
I've been to all the big cities in Colombia, and didn't like Cartagena too much because of the filthy beaches and the endless touts driving me crazy, although the CTG women were incredible.
I want to get away and just lay on a beach for a week, with clean beaches, good food, and good women. That's the type of trip I want this time. I'm getting mixed feelings about Santa Marta reading this board. Would you guys recommend it for what I want, or is there a better place, or is CTG still the best bet?
Also, if I do go to to SM how would I go about finding a girl-friendly hotel. I assume apartments are all girl friendly. That is, based on some of what I'm reading, if I'd even find a girl there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Doc
Maybe someone that has been to Santa Marta with their Colombia girl can recommend me some place to stay for less than 100k pesos a day. What are the odds of me finding lodging during the high season without reservation?
There are plenty of apartments that any taxi driver will be able to take you to in Rodadero. I liked Edificio San Carlos.
Thanks for the input Beavis, I will probably check out some apartments when I get there, just to compare prices.
I've been researching for a place to stay with my col. gf the last few days and i found it quite a pain in the ass to plan ahead thru the internet. Most of the places listed have no prices or pictures and/or are booked during the high season. I found the following websites:
Colombian Yellow Pages
[url]http://www.laguiahotelera.com/pagamanet/web/companyCategory.aspx?ipa=1&npa=Colombia&ies=21&nes=AllStates&idi=2&ica=2859&idi=1&txb=Hoteles[/url]
Apartments in Rodadero
[url]http://apartamentosenelrodadero.com/[/url]
Finally found this site of a simple hotel in SM, Hotel Casa Vieja [url]http://www.hotelcasavieja.com/Templates/elhotel.htm[/url] . I called and they quoted the room with AC and cama doble for 66000 in July. I know places in Centro tend to be runned down and cheaper, but looking at those pictures it seems quite all right for my taste, specially price wise. Anyone know anything about this place?
Of course, before I go about renting an apartment or hotel room I want to know what the action is like in SM, for both P4P and "non-pro" action. Can anyone advise me? Or is this just a place that you should only go to if you can bring a chica with you from somewhere else?
Thanks guys

Thanks guys[/QUOTE]If you speak Spanish and have some game you will do O.K. but SM is not a place where you will find the streets swarming with girls looking for gringos as there are no gringos there. If the P4P is your game Santa Marta isn't the place. Only a few so-so ones on the main streets after 10 p.m.
Thanks Beavis. I speak pretty good Spanish and have some game, so I guess it's pretty strictly a non-pro scene if any. I think I'll do allright, unless they hate gringos.
Just like you mentioned Beavis, it was very easy to find an apartment. The taxi driver at the airport took me to Rodadero where he had a friend renting apartments. At just about every corner by the beach I saw people holding signs offering apartment rentals. During the last half of July the apartment prices drop. Also like you, I probably saw less than 10 gringos in the whole 15 days I was there. You were right on the money on everything you wrote.
does anyone know if its possible to hire a speed boat for afew hours at santa marta?
superboy
There are plenty of lanchas along the beach that will take you anywhere you want.
Mostly along the east end of Rodadero Beach.
Does anyone have any experience / impressions / opinions on this hotel in Rodadero?
Thanks!
Sorry, I forgot to mention the name - La Sierra - says it's on the beach.
Contary to some reports I´ve read - I´ve only been here less than one day so far and I´ve had more opportunities (all pro/semi-pro) than Kellog´s has flakes.
Nothing, as far as I can tell here in Rodadero. But I´m determined to find something here. So I got this Big Mac Attack and had a taxi take me to McDonalds, which was kind of out of the way, but near a strip club with a starting price of 110K. I forgot the name because I´ll never need it, sorry.
From there I went to La Bahia (sp?), the seaside malecon-like street in Santa Marta proper. The taxi driver told me to go to Calle 10 for street action. I wasn´t even near Calle 10 when this 28 year-old beauty passes my way and gives me the look. Ten minutes later we were in a nearby sleazebag hotel - I love it! 50K for her, 20K for the room. I know, I overpaid but I didn´t care. Sorry but my time spent hassling is worth more than the few bucks I might save these days.
Anyway, so ¨Donnä,¨from Bogota, tells me she works at a nearby strip club and invites me to walk over with her. We get there and since she´s not too anxious to get in we sit and chat at a cafe next door. She introduced me to the bouncer and several of the girls who came outside for some air. One, Älexandra,¨18, had that cheerleader look that I adore, and I got her number and made a date to see her tomorrow. See guys - THE PEN IS IMPORTANT! I also got the number of Diana, a gorgeous Negrita, also 18. This place is called El Crucero del Amor, and the girls are all (what I saw) stunning. It´s on Bahia (sp?) between 10 and 11.
Donna from Bogota told me to stay away from Calle 10, said it was too dangerous. But I´m not sure that will stop me. I heard downtown Medellin was dangerous and it was nothing to this ex-New Yorker.
So I got Donna´s contact info in Bogota, where I will surely return in the not-too-distant future. AGAIN - THE PEN!
More later!

One more thing I forgot to mention: Donna also highly recommended a club called Bananas, also in that area. I´lll toft and report. And I´ll bring a pen.
One more thing, in case you're wondering: Why, if I'm sitting around with all these beautiful hookers around me and a recommended place did I not go in? Well, I really wanted to but for the first time since I can remember I didn't have any money left. Have pen, no money. It's always something, isn't it?
Ok I'm gonna try to do this before the sleeping pill kicks in with the gin and it's all over for me today.
See my last post. I thought I'd call it a night. In fact, in fighting my urges to go back to that strip joint for some more action I took care of myself instead to save me the trouble of going back. Well I must have some pretty strong shit Viagra, that's all I'lll say about that.
So I walked a few feet down the street here in Rodadero, talked it up with the barmaid and bartender. Both seeming like normal people. But I dunno.
Suddenly this girl Marcela comes in and chats it up with them. Obviously knows them. Then she starts making small talk with me. Well then my little head got kicked back into gear (gee and after all that talk about only once a day! ) and I couldn't stop staring at her miniskirt legs, and they know guys, you may think you're being cool but they ALWAYS know when you're looking and lusting.Even the young ones, but I ain't even going there tonight.
So I seriously said I was hungry and all of a sudden Marcella was going to get in a cab with me to get something to eat. I didn't want to spend the time or the hassle, so I declined, then she just straight offered me her company for 100K, I countered with 80K and we had a deal. My hotel was three buildings away.
I'm sorry to say that while she was genuinely nice and sweet she didn't have a clue what to do in bed (e. G. Please a Man). And it's not for lack of experience, or at least shouldn´t be. She's (reportedly) 23 with one kid. Like I said she was so nice, not a malicious bone in her body, just clueless. For example, I'll overlook the condom blowjob. But I was on top of her doing her missionary and she pulled out and STOPPED RIGHT AS I WAS CUMMING! Now I know about all you submissives who get off on ¨denied¨orgasms, but it ain't me, it ain't me, it ain't me. Needless to say it pissled me off and ruined a nice expericence because I really liked her. Now I just feel like she was an idiot and so was I for wasting my time and money.
I walked her out and she said goodbye and crossed the street (This is the beach at Rododero, ok? ) and found a few of her ¨friends¨to commisurate with. Nice girl, great attitude, lousy as shit performance and would not repeat. If you hear the word Marcella head for the hills, and don't say I didn't warn you. But there were hookers alll over the beach boardwalk, lots of them. So again I say to you who have said this is not a mongering destination you really need to come back now. Puts Cartagena to shame, and it feels like Brazil with it being so available 24/7 (well, sort of).
Needless to say I like it here. I feel like Colombus, discovering the New World. And these girls almost never see gringos, so besides all the money shit they just love our blond hair blue eyed look (Of course I got my hair colored and blue contacts before coming, but don't laugh. The shit works.)
Now I got in at noon, had sex two times today and got three more invitations for tomorrow. Life is good.

As far as "the pen" theory goes. If you have a Colombian cel phone it's even easier to keep track of your chicas.
Keep on truckin' amigo :)
Hey Ricker,
Good to hear from you! Yes, I should have mentioned, the cellphone would be just as good as the pen. I´m just a technophobe - don´t even know how to use a cellphone, believe it or not.
So I went to that strip joint I sat outside of last night, Las Cruzes de Amor, and I was pretty displeased with it, lamentablamente. Too much hustle - But not from the girls - From the guys! Everyone from the bartender down to the usher I didn´t need and the bouncer was hitting me up. It was really, REALLY annoying - Enough so that I will not go back there.
I did session with Angelica, the 18 year-old I met yesterday. She was good, but what can I say - She was 18 - It´s always (ok, usually) a trade-off, ya know? The thought of doing her was such a turn on and the sex was great, but of course the experience level wasn´t there. I´d probably see her again, though, but outside the club.
Marcella ,the girl I wrote about that came to my room last night, had the nerve to approach me at the bar and ask me to join her again. I politely told her that while she was very pretty she hasn´t a clue how to please a man. She didn´t like hearing that but wtf, shouldn´t they know?
Tomorrow I´ll hit Bananas and report. By the way, there is an abundance of street action right here at the beach in Rodadero, although I´ve been warned against it.

Yes, the nice thing about getting their number on a cell phone is that you can also take a photo and attach it to the number. I do that all the time in Thailand. After you get 10 or more numbers it can get hard to keep track of all the Johana's and Julies.
I am happy you are having fun Doc Bill, but I spent quite abit of time in Rodadero this past year, and my experience was the total opposite. I am also one who was on the beach everyday, and was on the boardwalk for lack of a better word every night, and I never seen anything close to what you are writing here on the forum. There is no fucking way you should be stating to others here reading the forum that it puts Cartagena to shame. I will agree with you, and I believe I have posted it previously, in Santa Marta, there are many stripclubs that have many quality girls, and the prices are very reasonable, but to compare Santa Marta to Cartagena is totally wrong. There is also very little night life in Rodadero, other than the boardwalk area. The discos when I was there had no energy in them, and were rather boring, and this is why I partied my nights away in Santa Marta.
Urban Wildlife,
What you fail to realize is that I, like you and everybody else, is entitled to their own opinions based on their own experiences. I certainly do have the right to compare anything I want to anything else, just as you have the right to believe differently. I frankly resent your implication that I'm making things up, for which you, given my years and number of posts on this forum, have no basis.
I don't doubt, if you say so, that your experience was the opposite of mine. Things change and people see things differently. But you do not have the right to invalidate my own experience. Like I keep saying, different strokes. And I bet you won't find one other member of this forum who won't vouch for me.
So feel free to disagree, but you will NOT be telling me what I should or shouldn't say to others. If you don't like it, ignore it. Better yet, put me on your blocked list and then you won't have to get all bent out of shape because your experience was different.
There is nothing ¨wrong¨with comparing Cartagena to Santa Marta or any place to any place else.
Well, gee, at the risk of "misleading" all my fellows on this forum, I will again report that the action out here on the boardwalk in Rodadero is pretty full. Lots of girls, lots of sizes and shapes. I saw one guy on a motorcycle get pulled over by the cops the minute the girl got on the bike, after they were apparently negotiating. I saw that girl and a friend talking with, or being chastised by, the cops about a half hour earlier. So maybe it was a set-up, I don't know. The girl was definitely not 18 either.
There were a lot of other girls on side streets, and it was very tempting. But I got a bit skiddish after what I witnessed.
So the moral of this particular story is that I'm going to take my friend's advice, after my one mediocre experience (see previous report) and avoid the street scene here. I need police trouble in Colombia like I need a new heartache.
Cheers,
DB

Boy that's the truth.
Though Cartagena is the famous PFP / tourist capital of Colombia, we will all have our own perceptions, likes and dislikes.
I have fun in Cartagena but the gringo-experienced chicas (ie hard core) and the constant badgering by street vendors can take it's toll.
I have a buddy who swears by Barranquilla, it's his paradise. I swear I'll never go back :)
Glad you're having a blast senor Bill.
Love hearing about your adventiure amigo!
Doc Bill,
Anyone that knows anything about Colombia, knows that Cartagena is a known mongering destination, and Santa Marta is not. Why are there very few posts being made on Rodadero or Santa Marta, where as, almost on a daily basis you will find reports or information on Cartagena, Medellin, Bogota, e.t.c In a rhetorical question, it is simply because those areas are popular mongering destinations. You will never find an experienced monger with knowledge of Colombia, claim that Rodadero has a mongering scene stronger than Cartagena, why, again in a rhetorical question, it simply is not true.
As far as you resenting my implications, I simply do not care, but as an experienced monger in Colombia, and having spent considerable amount of time in both Cartagena and Rodadero, I know what the fuck I am talking about, especially since I am a monger who is always out in the streets and in the discos on a daily basis.
I also find your statment " bet you won't find one other member of this forum who won't vouch for me. " pretty hilarious. It sounds like you are campaigning for others to support you.
Lastly and most importantly, thank you for your reports, and I am happy you are having a great time. That is what it is all about. Rodadero is a beautiful place, and if you have not done so, you might want to consider taking a girl and going to Parque Tayrona for a day. It has some super beautiful beaches, great snorkling at a beach I believe is called Crystal, and you rid yourself for the most part from all the vendors who troll the beach in Rodadero. The ocean waters are also spectacular and very warm.

The only thing I will add is if you go I hope you are in pretty good shape as it is about a hour and half walk on some tricky trails thru a hot jungle. Man that water felt good after that hike!!
Urbanwildlife,
You just clearly can't tolerate that other people's experiences may be different than yours. I don't doubt yours, but you think I'm making things up. Frankly I think you're a self-serving loser. I'll add idiot too. And since this forum is about sharing information about having sex with women I will have nothing further to comment to you or about anything you have to say. But at least I respect your right to say it and I don't doubt that your experience is your experience.
Ricker, good to hear from you and thanks for your comments. Maybe you're just saying more clearly what I'm trying to say: That to each his own, and that we all have our own opinions and experiences, and that if mine happens to be in the minority it is no less valid than anybody else's. And YES, TO ME, Santa Marta has been a lot more fun for mongering than Cartagena. One of these days we'll have to meet up somewhere, Ricker, when we're somewhere at the same time!
Tonight I sampled the club Bananas in Santa Marta proper. It was a lot better than Los Cruces de Amor, that I spoke of in a previous post. Not all the hussle and hassle. There were about 15 or so girls there, ranging from 6-9, and what I liked what that they were not aggressive, just friendly.
Now before I go on I have to take a pause here and just thank this Forum and everyone on it through the years, as well as my own experience and mistakes. Because without all that tonight would have went down a lot differently. Allow me to explain: A beautiful girl, 28, Veronica, from Medellin, came and chatted me up. I liked her. I also like that she didn't even ask me to buy her a drink, but left it up to me to decide if I wanted to sit and chat or get down to business. I wanted the latter.
So she told me that the cost was ¨90 DOLLARS. ¨ ¨Dollars? ¨I said, adding ¨You mean mil pesos, right? ¨To which she kind of got confused and had to consult her supervisor. I guessed she was new and just doing what she was told to do with any gringo who happened to walk in. The supervisor, a lady, came over and said it was only 70 DOLLARS. I picked up my drink and started to leave, saying that I would pay 80K PESOS only, for everything, room rental, condom, tips, whatever, no extras. She, of course, responded, ¨No problem, Senior. ¨ Now if I hadn't had the help of this Forum and my own past mistakes you can easily see how that would have went down, and probably does for many of the gringo uninformed.
Veronica's performance was stellar, and I'd highly recommend her, and I would recommend the club as well. There was also a considerable amount of street action along the bay boulevard in Santa Marta, especially between 10 and 15th. Of course you can take UrbanWildlife's word and just chalk this up to my imaginings, but at least they were pretty hot delusions. Seriously, there really was a lot out there. But I was done.
There are a few other clubs which I unfortunately won't have time to sample, because I leave for Arequipa tomorrow, but here they are, and what I've heard about them:
Flamingo. Good, great girls, high-priced (100k), in Rodadero Los Angeles. Great girls and service, about 80K, Rodadero
Remember my disclaimer is that I did not personally sample those last two clubs. But I think my sources were reliable. I'll catch them next trip. And I'll be back here long before I go back to Cartagena. But that's just me. Just me, get it?

That's true, however, I do remember in the not too distant past when there where no posts going on in Medellin. Cartagena and Cali where the hot spots.
Look at Medellin now that it's been discovered.
I remember when the gringo was a rare find in Medellin actually ... ahhh those memories, hahahaha :)
Many more things to get upset about than the Doc Bill posts on Santa Marta.
Actually it's pretty nice to get some info on that area.
If he happens to post that he digs it better than Cartagena, well it's because he probably does.
Heck, I like hanging out at the Mayorista in Medellin more than Face Dos, does that make me an idiot?? Don't answer that please ... :)
Take care amigos
I stand by my previous posts that Rodadero can no way be compared to Cartagena as far as a mongering destination, for the reasons I pointed out in my previous posts. It just simply is not so, unfortunately uncle bill has to resort to name calling when someone such as myself who has much more experience mongering in the cities of Rodadero and Cartagena calls him out on it.
Flamingo's stripclub I have frequented on several occasions. It does not have a bar for you to sit or stand at, it is all tables. The women who were working in the place when I was in there, were not attractive at all. The discos and stripclubs in the city of Santa Marta, such as Bananas, had much higher quality of girls.
Parque Tayrona: If you take the bus or a shuttle it indeed can be a long walk as my good friend Vic Picks pointed out, however, an alternative I would highly recommend is to take a taxi to Taganga, and then take a launcha to Parque Tayrona. It is alot faster and saves you the long walk, even though the walk through the jungle is not bad at all, and I would recommend it for a one time experience.
Well, to continue - First of all the typing came out funny on my last report, so if it isn´t clear the names of those two other clubs, both in Rodadero, and neither which I sampled, are Flamingos and Los Angeles.
There were many streetwalkers when I got back to Rodadero, all along the ocean walk. Most between 6-9, pretty unusually good for streetwalkers. I was pretty done after Bananas and I also drank a bit too much, so I just had fun chatting them up and passing some rum around.
I´d say there were about 10 or so that I noticed along the strip. One of them I´m still wishing I popped a Viagra just to do her.
Now this was Thursday night, so I´m guessing that they start coming out Thursdays and that it gets pretty hot over the weekend. I´ll find out next trip.
My hotel, the Sierra, had a good room. I had a junior suite for US 90 per day. One could do a lot cheaper there. My problem was that they had a 50K chica fee. They charged me that one night and I had to fight and end up speaking with the hotel manager to get that charge removed, based on the fact that I was not informed in advance. But anyway, I wouldn´t stay there again since it isn´t chica friendly and there´s too many goodies right outside the door, literally.
I´m in Lima airport now on my way to Arequipa. I´ve got a gf waiting for me there but I´ll report on whateve it is I can find and do.
Cheers,
Doc Bill
For those interested in going to Rodadero, I would rent an apartment instead of a hotel. You have to picture a beachfront in your mind, and running alongside the beachfront is a 2 lane street. On one side you obviously have the beach, and on the other is apartment building after apartment building with apartments for rent. The renting of apartments is big business in Rodadero. I would just arrive in Rodadero and go straight to the beachfront area. You will find many touts with rental information for you, or you can go to the front desk of these apartment buildings and ask about availability. This might sound crazy not booking in advance, but this way you will have an opportunity to view an apartment before renting it, and you will be able to negotiate yourself a great deal.
Apartments not only give you the feel of a home, you will also not have to worry about extra guest fees, and you will find for the most part they are cheaper than any hotel. A warning to anyone who is interested in apartments. If you want to get one in the middle of the action, and still want to get some sleep, do not get one facing the beach. This boardwalk area is a party until 6 in the morning. Your ears will be filled with drums beating, symbols being slammed together, and drunks yelling and carrying on all night long.
My time in Rodadero was spent in the summer months, but I have been told at this time of the year things are quite abit more exciting with an abundance of people. There are many day trips for you to do if you are staying in the Rodadero area, so it provides you many options. I find it much more beautiful than Cartagena, but the nightlife other than what was going on at the beach was basically non-existant. I will be back to enjoy Rodadero, Tagonga, and Parque Tayrona in the very near future.
For anyone considering going to Rodadero, there are many van shuttles that go back and forth between Rodadero, Barranquilla, and Cartagena daily. It is approximately a 2 hour ride from Barranquilla if I remember right. You can also fly into Santa Marta. Santa Marta to Rodadero is about a 15 minute taxi ride.
Rodadero is also a great place to take a chica if you happen to meet someone you really like in Barranquilla or Cartagena. They would be very excited take you up on your offer to go. Attached is some pics of the beauty of the Rodadero, Tagonga, Parque Tayrona area.

Here are some more additional pics of Rodadero, Tagonga, and Parque Tayrona.
How about getting there from Medellin. I imagine one would have to fly, right? I'll be in Medellin next week and would love to make it to Santa Marta, but it might be to difficult with only a week to spend.
Nice looking girl btw.
Avianca has nonstop flights from Medellin to Santa Marta. That´s how I got there. It´s less than an hour flight and you don´t have to stop in Bogota.
Hey Doc Bill,
Thanks for this report, though I can't find this place "Crucero de Amor" you mention on the bay (Bahia) between 10 and 11. There is a little disco in this location called "Discoteca Manila" that just seems to be waking up at this mid-day hour. Could that be what you are talking about? To refresh your memory, it has a really narrow entrance and is next to a little cafe.
Also wondering what time of day you were mongering in the report described below. I am here in SM with a girlfriend who works during the day, and would be really happy if I could find a way to squeeze in some day-time action. In general, I really wish the coast had day-time massage places like Medellin and Bogota. Not sure why they don't, as I am sure there is a lot of money to be made (especially in Cartagena! )
SL
[QUOTE=Doc Bill]Contary to some reports I´ve read - I´ve only been here less than one day so far and I´ve had more opportunities (all pro/semi-pro) than Kellog´s has flakes.
Nothing, as far as I can tell here in Rodadero. But I´m determined to find something here. So I got this Big Mac Attack and had a taxi take me to McDonalds, which was kind of out of the way, but near a strip club with a starting price of 110K. I forgot the name because I´ll never need it, sorry.
From there I went to La Bahia (sp?), the seaside malecon-like street in Santa Marta proper. The taxi driver told me to go to Calle 10 for street action. I wasn´t even near Calle 10 when this 28 year-old beauty passes my way and gives me the look. Ten minutes later we were in a nearby sleazebag hotel - I love it! 50K for her, 20K for the room. I know, I overpaid but I didn´t care. Sorry but my time spent hassling is worth more than the few bucks I might save these days.
Anyway, so ¨Donnä,¨from Bogota, tells me she works at a nearby strip club and invites me to walk over with her. We get there and since she´s not too anxious to get in we sit and chat at a cafe next door. She introduced me to the bouncer and several of the girls who came outside for some air. One, Älexandra,¨18, had that cheerleader look that I adore, and I got her number and made a date to see her tomorrow. See guys - THE PEN IS IMPORTANT! I also got the number of Diana, a gorgeous Negrita, also 18. This place is called El Crucero del Amor, and the girls are all (what I saw) stunning. It´s on Bahia (sp?) between 10 and 11.
Donna from Bogota told me to stay away from Calle 10, said it was too dangerous. But I´m not sure that will stop me. I heard downtown Medellin was dangerous and it was nothing to this ex-New Yorker.
So I got Donna´s contact info in Bogota, where I will surely return in the not-too-distant future. AGAIN - THE PEN!
More later!

i've read back through many of the posts from the past couple years here for santa marta/rodadero, but can't really tell if there's much of a consensus on the best places to stay. i'd preferably like to find a somewhat modern apartamento with a/c, hot water, modern appliances, hi-speed internet access, close to la playa, etc. something along the lines of what you get when you rent an apartamento in cartagena (laguito) from juan or mery.
can a guy find an apartamento along those lines in either santa marta or rodadero? if so, can you steer me in the right direction of who to contact, name of building, where located, etc.?
i realize that my best bet may be to just find one after i've been there, but i only have a few days and would prefer to at least have some idea of where i'm going to stay or where exactly to at least look.
if the apartamento option isn't viable, then i could do a hotel....but my first choice would be an apartamento in a building that is less than say 7-8 years old.
thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
It is far and away best to find your apartment when you get there. I know the feeling you are having not having something in place as I felt the same way on my first trip there, but you will understand once you get there that it is no inconvienence whatsoever.
Have your transport, be it a taxi or a van take you to the main beach area in Rodadero. You will find people all over holding signs e.c.t. for condo rentals, or you will see condos lined up one after another facing the beach area. Just go into any of them and ask at the front desk about availability. This way you will get to see your apartment first hand before renting it, and you will be able to negotiate the price. I paid for a beautiful beachfront, ocean view, very large 2 bedroom apartment that had a upstairs and downstairs, $50.00 dollars a night with all the amentities. The building was called Karey, and I think that is how it was spelled. You will be able to see it very easily if you are on the beach boardwalk, as the balconies are blue.
I am not sure you want to get one facing the beach because at night they party on the boardwalk and beach ALL NIGHT LONG, as in 5 or 6 in the morning, so if you are a light sleeper forget about getting a good nights sleep.
I know Juan Ventura has apartments in Rodadero for rent, but he wants way to much for them. You will find alot of vacancy in the condos, so the way I described to you is the way to go. You will love the Rodadero/Santa Marta area because there is so much to do during the day. A definite is to go to Parque Tayrona, but you might want to invite a girl to go with you. At night if you like the bar scene go to the city of Santa Marta. Alot of girls to be had in the stripclubs for a fraction of the price you will find in Cartagena. Rodadero nightlife to be honest with you sucks. Santa Marta is only a 10 minute taxi ride away. One last recommendation to you is to go to a restaurant/disco called Burukuka and order the fillet mignon. It is also very reasonably priced and super delicious. Vics Picks introduced to this place. You can see this restaurant from the beach because it sits high upon a rock overlooking the ocean by itself. All taxi drivers know where it is.
I will be returning to Rodadero/Santa Marta the end of March arriving from my first stay in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I think this area is one of the most beautiful areas in Colombia and I have always enjoyed myself there, and I sure you will to!

you have discriminating taste like me lol. i could not find such a place in santa marta. rodadero is more upscale though, and you might have better luck there. on the downside it is touristy (ie expensive) with little action, so you will be in santa marta most of the time more than likely. also there is a higher end hotel in taganga (name escapes me) that might be a better compromise.

Urbanwildlife,
Thanks a bunch for sharing your info! Much appreciated. Combining your response with the older post on this thread, I'm comfortable with with waiting to secure a place in Rodadero after I get there. I most likely will try to locate the building you mentioned in your post where you last stayed. A nice, two-bedroom place would be right up my alley.
Did you have internet access in the condo where you stayed? I unfortunately (or one could say fortunately in these economic times) have to keep an eye on the shop so to speak, respond to emails, etc., while I'm away.
My thoughts are to take one of those vans, either door-to-door or one of those van transporters located in Crespo from Carta to Santa Marta/Rodadero. My flight arrives in Cartagena arournd 1-1:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday. I'm thinking it is probably best just to spend the day and night in Carta and catch a van early the next morning, or do you think it's a go to try to hurry on into Crespo to see if I could catch one leaving around 2 or so?
Do you have a van company that you've used from Carta and back that you'd be comfortable in recommending?
Thanks again!
Cabroncito,
Thanks a bunch for your response. I will definately follow-up on what you and UrbanWildlife have shared and look for a place in Rodadero.
I probably won't be doing much hunting, etc., like I've done in Cartagena. I'm going to hook-up with a few local chicas there, but I've been with enough Colombianas to know better than to let one of them make the arrangements for me, lol. I'm not much for being hemmed-up, not in control of the situation and limiting my options while there if you know what I mean, lol.
Thanks again for your response!
Hello Hilltopper,
I am going to post this here instead of sending it to you through a p.m because I feel many others can gain some use of the information I am about to give to you, especially so, since so little is ever posted on this thread.
(Getting to Santa Marta/Rodadero from the airport in Cartagena)
Walk out of the airport and walk straight ahead about one block and you are in Barrio Crespo, and on main street, which is calle 70. At the corner take a right and you will see all the transport companies offices lined up along the street. It really does not matter what one you use as I have used many of them and the service is always the same. A company called Puerta a Puerta is one of them. I have also used Invertours del caribe on many occasions. [url]www.invertours.com[/url] and they were excellent. The most popular company probably is Marsol. [url]http://transportesmarsolsa.com/home.html[/url] The ride is approximately 4 hours and the cost is about $25.00 dollars U.S. It is not a bad ride at all.
As far as when to go, leaving in the afternoon at 2pm has it pros and cons. You will not get to Rodadero/Santa Marta until approximately 6:30, but the positive of that is at that time you really are not going to be missing out on the beach, and really anything else, so it is a good time to find an apartment/condo, and get settled in before heading out to checkout the girls in Santa Marta for the night.
Here is the directions to the condo I have always stayed at. Edificio Karey. Calle 9 Con Primera. This building has blue balconies and sits directly in front of the spot where all the action takes place on the board walk which runs along side of the beach. In the condo I stayed in, it did not offer internet, but I was able to pick up a signal from somewhere else. There is internet cafes all over, and the one directly across the street from Edificio Karey was really nice. It also offers international and domestic calling.
On the other hand if you stay in Laguito and can get to sleep at a reasonable hour, which is never possible for me, because I party my nights away until 5 in the morning, you can call the transport upon your arrival and schedule them to pick you up as early as 7am and be in Rodadero/Santa Marta by 11-11:30. If you are able to get up early in the morning, I would probably go this route.
If you decide to go to see areas outside of Rodadero which I highly recommend, I would make a trip to Playa Cristal which is located in Parque Tayrona. The beach is excellent as well as the ocean waters. It is also a great place to go snorkeling. In any of the beaches in Parque Tayrona you will not be hassled with beach vendors, as they are very limited, and all the beaches are spectacular IMHO. You can get to Parque Tayrona several ways. You can take a bus directly from Rodadero, as vendors will be offering you this tour every time you turn around, or you can take a taxi to Taganga, which is a small fishing village. The taxi ride will cost you about $5.-$6.00 dollars U.S, and then take a launcha from there. This is what I would recommend to you as it is a lot faster and the boat ride is really enjoyable, evidenced by the pics I posted awhile back on this thread. I also have a contact for you to call if you want to use a launcha. He is a great guy and the boat is nice. It's about $10.00 dollars U.S per person, then the entry into Parque Tayrona will cost you about another $10.00 dollars. (1 time fee) If you are bringing a girl with you it is only about $2. to $3.00 dollars for her since she will be a Colombiana.
As far as places not to go, do not waste your time going to see the aquarium. If I can be of further help to you let me know. By going to Rodadero, and going to see the places that Parque Tayrona offers, you are going to be experiencing paradise!

Yes based on your visit I think Rodadero would be the best bet. Like UWL said I always negociate on site for the best price and location. It is a little more work up front, but definitely worth the effort. One thing I noticed Rodadero was very quiet the weeknights I drove through. Perhaps UWL visited during a holiday week, but it is certainly less noisy that Santa Marta's downtown. Enjoy, and be sure to post a trip report. The girls are a little more conservative than some of the larger cities, but once they warm up to they are very sweet and accommodating.
Also, I always travel with an external wifi antenna I stick out the window, and boost the signal from a neighbor. Many of them still do not understand the concept of password protecting the network, so no need for cabled connection in most latin cities.

Urbanwildlife,
Thanks for your reply and sharing what you know. I'm glad you decided to post here on the forum as well. Very helpful and solid info for anyone looking to trip to Santa Marta/Rodadero.
I can certainly relate to having trouble in being up and ready to leave Cartagena around 6 or 7 in the morning, LOL. I'd probably be kidding myself to think that I'd could have a night of fun in Cartagena and still answer the call for a 7:00 A. M. Pick-up. I've been known to see the Cartagena sunrise come through the windows before calling it a night.
I'll be certain to check out the building you've mentioned. Thanks a bunch for the description and address.
Have a good one!
Remember to negotiate on the apartments. You don't have to accept their first price. Give them a counter offer that is reasonable to you. It should be cheaper than Cartagena. Anything you pay more than 100k per night for in low season had better be spectacular for that price.
The selling point for any beachfront avenue apartments in Rodadero is the breathtaking ocean views. They are all about 30 years old though, including Edificio Karey. I saw a few apartments in Karey, and they were all kind of basic with beat up furniture. It's still a great option. I just want to lower your expectations.
If you want quiet or a newer built place, you'll need to look further back from the beach.
If you're standing anywhere near Rodadero beach with suitcases, the apartment rental guys will find you.
Flamingos is known for its "linda chicas" and garners a higher price than Bananas. I visited both places in the last two days, and clearly the hotter looking chicas are in Flamingos, but the house minimum is 80 mil pesos por todos. There are some stunning women there.
Bananas has lower quality, but at 50 mil. Flamingo is in Rodadero, Bananas is in Santa Marta. 4 mil taxi ride from Rodadero to either, negotiate before taking the taxi.
TLN at Flamingos is 200 mil for the chica and 70 mil for the house but this can be quickly negotiated downwards. I don't do TLN myself, and asked prices only at Flamingos.
Another option is Los Angeles, (Rodadero), a newer bar with very attractive chicas, but I can't quote prices because I only went "window shopping".
According to the taxistas, Babylonia in Santa Marta is a step down from Bananas, but even more economical.
There are not any street walkers on Rodadero beach, at least that I have seen in the last two nights. There are street walkers after 10 in Santa Marta on Carrera 1 and side Calles, but the quality seemed poor and I can't attest to the prices. Most areas appear secure, but be careful late if the streets are empty.
The diving in Santa Marta cannot be called good, this is my second trip and both times the visibility equaled Capurgana and the Islas de Rosario. For pure diving in Colombia, San Andres or Providencia is best, having been only to the former. I can't attest to the mongering in those islands, but others on this board have referred to locations there. I would take a chica with me to San Andres, and will semana santa.
Apart from the most stunning women on the face of the planet -- just my personal opinion you understand -- and the Quinta, is there anything else worth seeing in SM if you're not a beach bum?
[QUOTE=AddictedToWomen]Apart from the most stunning women on the face of the planet -- just my personal opinion you understand -- and the Quinta, is there anything else worth seeing in SM if you're not a beach bum?[/QUOTE]Not to my knowledge, so I would have to say NO. Everything I know of is geared toward the beaches and the ocean.
i had a crazy couple of days last week that i'm still coming to terms with. thought you all would appreciate hearing about it.
sunday:
got to santa marta and checked into one of the many cheap basic hotels between calle 10 and 13, and between carr 1 (the beach) and carr 5. lots of decent cheap hotels and restaurants around here.
went down to carr 1 (the malecon, or street that runs along the beach) to have a drink at one of the bars. turns out i happened to sit at the outside tables in front of "el velero del amor" (although i don't think it actually has a sign), which is a strip club / brothel on carr 1 between calle 10 and 11.
there is a whole scene here that's compelling in all the human drama unfolding day and night. from the bouncer keeping the peace to the guys selling handicrafts to the foreign sailors in town from all the cargo ships at the port down the road to the ladies of the night waiting for someone to pick them up to the food stalls cooking up dinner for all of the above mentioned. they all play a role in the soap opera. it's a fascinating anthropological exercise to grab a beer and sit at a table for a few hours observing, listening, chatting with whomever comes by.
anyway, there i was having a beer watching it all go by, and naturally some girls started chatting me up. one sweet, pretty, and very pregnant girl was trying to get me to go with her friend, who i was not particularly into. then i noticed diana (pronounced deana, not sure how she spells it), who was just my type. small, tight, trim, fit. sizable breasts and cute ass, both proportional to her body. and she had a fun playful spark to her. so i followed her into the convenience store, we got to chatting, and she aggressively started coming onto me. when we got back to the table, the other girls got up to leave, giving me a look that said, "you chose her. god help you now. " maybe i'm saying that in hindsight.
the other reason i was taken to her as opposed to some of the other girls is that she speaks some english, which always helps since my spanish is not great.
she had apparently just polished off a bottle of wine by herself, which might explain her forwardness. after a bit she drags me into the club. it's not really a strip club, just a bar really. there was a porno playing on the projection tv, a few scantiliy clad girls around, and assorted patrons. it's a pretty small place. i never saw the private rooms. diana starts giving me lap dances, then gets up and dances around on her own which i'm enjoying watching, then insists i get up to dance with her (which i was a good sport about, although my moves can't hold a candle to hers). next to our table, a stripper was giving some nasty hot lap dances to a group of guys. it's not problem for them to get completely nude here, i learned. all in all a great experience, and i was only charged for a couple of beers (normal prices, even).
finally after an hour or so, i suggest we take a walk. we meander down the street and when we reach the front of my hotel i suggest we go in. she's a bit hesitant, not sure why, maybe she wants to keep partying. but i also want to discuss price so i'm not caught after the fact. but she won't answer my question directly, keeps putting me off. oh well. we go in the hotel, i have to pay 10, 000 extra for her (no problem, that's less than $5), and we go to my room.
this is where things begin to get exciting. and weird. diana is nothing if not aggressive. she starts frenching me passionately, strongly, biting my bottom lip. hard. i had welts later from it. for the next hour we wrestle, bite, scratch each other. i'm trying to be restrained, but she is not. finally it occurs to me that she's a sub and really wants to be dominated. craves to be spanked and have everything done to her that she's been doing to me. this awakens the baser instincts in me, and we have a grand ole time fucking and fighting. the sex began with me daty. delicioso. she blows me a bit (sans condom) and does a pretty hot job of it, then we get into a nice 69 where we're both really getting into it, until she starts sucking my balls a little too hard.
the fucking was perfect. like i said, i like small girls that i can pick up and throw around. her ass is two halves of a perfect cantelope. her breasts (c cup? ) are just the right size, although she feels they're too small, so she wears a padded push-up bra and wants to get a boob job. her face is not all that beautiful, but not ugly either. she wears hair extensions. her skin is "negrita", i. e. , fairly black/dark. she says she's 18, but she looks younger. anyway, this girl was made for fucking. she seems to love it (although is somewhat restrained in her vocalising), and certainly is willing to go for any position thrown at her.
after we collapse in exhaustion, she keeps making a half-hearted attempt to leave. naturally i don't encourage this, since i like sleeping with girls and am thinking about the possibility of sex in the morning. sure enough she ends up spending the night.
monday:
in the morning, we start all over again, but this time there is more of that dark energy that i only glimpsed the previous night. i see anger and resentment rising in her (the pop psychologist in my head is making up stories about her abusive dad or other relatives, her love/hate relationship with men, etc.). she starts really hitting me, and finally after she wacks me in the face hard enough to really hurt, i get pissed. rather than hit her back, i just yell at her to get the fuck out. then she gets all mad, points to some spot on her cheek where apparently i bit her too hard (i can't see any bruise, whereas i am covered in them. my shoulders and chest have several large hickies, my back is raw from her nails, and my arms are bruised. fortunately my neck only has one minor hickey. it's embarrasing, like junior high school all over again! )
after some mutual yelling, she insists that i walk her out. fine. we get outside, and who should be sitting at the cafe in front of the hotel but the other girls from last night. the ones who were first hitting on me. diana goes crying to them, they give a "so what? " look, don't seem bothered or pissed at me (a relief), and diana yells at me to go away. yes! i get to leave this crazy *****, and she never even asked for money!
walking around looking for breakfast, i begin to think that i should change hotels. something about her unnerved me enough to not want her knowing where my valuables were kept and where i slept. so i started strolling the neighborhood looking for another place.
and then fate intervened. the second hotel i walk into, i bump straight into diana. i boldy lie through my teeth. "how are you, i just came looking to see if you're all right", blah blah, think fast. she assumed one of the girls on the street had told me where she was staying. she had calmed down by this point and was actually rather sweet. in hindsight, i wonder if our fighting had somehow bonded her to me, where she now felt we were in some kind of relationship. anyway, she gets the matriarch of the hotel and shows me the rooms, says why don't i get a room there, it will be easier, don't worry, you can bring other girls if you want, etc. mistake #1: i took the room. the rooms were actually pretty nice for a very reasonable price. and i liked the family that ran it. and truth be told, i was thinking about the amazing sex i had just had. i've been learning just how much control my hormones have over me. it's pretty scary.
having kissed and made up, we went for a walk. she went and bought a big fat joint for $1 (! ), i walked with her to smoke it (didn't partake myself, since it was barely past noon! ), we ran into a co-worker of hers named yuranis (more on her later) who kept coming on to me when diana's back was turned, it was crazy. diana still hadn't asked for money from me. i began to realize that she didn't think of me as a trick, more as a short-term boyfriend. whatever, i was happy.
we parted ways for the afternoon. let me stop here and describe her work, as best as i was able to deduce. i think that all the girls work fairly independently. they're free to go with whomever they want whenever they want. for example, i didn't have to pay a take-out fee to the club for her. but when they are at the club, they can turn tricks there on site, and presumably the club gets a cut. a lot of them work the streets, just hanging around waiting for someone to pick them up. but none of them hustle particularly hard. then there are the assignments. diana told me that her and her friend hemana "the only other pretty girl" (basically true, but harsh the way she said it) get requested by the boat captains of the ships to come and service their crew. crazy! hot! so apparently these two go down to the boats every couple of days (for only an hour or two) and take care of the sailors. this is arranged through that same club, so presumably they're getting their cut there as well.
another warning sign i should have heeded was when diana said the girls i had been talking with "are not my friends.i have only one friend here. " hemana (himana? ). she's light-skinned with braces and freckles and wears bright red lipstick. she does not look 18, which is both terrifying and thrilling.
so diana had said she would be working on the boat in the afternoon, but to stop by the tables in front of the bar again at night and we'd meet up. ok, so at about 9pm i go down and start chatting with a german guy who's been here for a few weeks. diana comes out of nowhere and without so much as a "hi, how are you", grabs my arm and tries to get me to leave. this girl can be a real ***** when she wants to be. stubborn as hell. manipulative and retaliatory. 18 going on 8. or 5 years old. what's really scary about her is how unpredictable she is. she'll flip into mr. hyde with absolutely no warning. but i calmly stand my ground and say, "dear, let me finish my beer and this conversation i was having, and then we'll go. " she's not having it. finally she grabs the glasses off my head and stalks away. now i'm pissed. and worried. these spectacles were not cheap. they're very expensive, and very fragile. and i'm not going to go chasing her down the street for them, she'll probably trip and break them if she hasn't already. the german guy starts giving me advice about colombian women. you need to show them who is in charge. you sit here and don't react. let her come back to you, etc.
eventually the bouncer of the club (who i had befriended earlier, and is a really great guy) comes up and hands me my glasses. i have no idea how he did it, but somehow he both retrieved my glasses and calmed her down. <i note to self: wear contacts when around crazy hookers. </i diana was now dr. jekyll again. sweet, lovely, angelic. well, the first two anyway. she pulls up a chair and starts wolfing down an enormous plate of food. then she got up for more. i don't know how she can put away so much for being so skinny. ahh, to be 18 again! anyway, i get confirmation from the german that yes, these girls just want a foreigner to call their boyfriend for a while while they turn tricks on the side. he said he was propositioned several times by girls who were offering free sex. have i died and gone to heaven?
we didn't actually go inside the club this night. after the glasses incident, things were pretty chill. eventually we start walking back towards our hotel, but inexplicably in the middle of the street (as we're approaching a club on 10th, not sure of the name, but a bunch of people were hanging out in front) she says it's dangerous, doesn't want to walk down this street, etc. i'm tired of her theatrics and know for a fact that it's not dangerous to walk down this street, so i just carry on. if it means a solo night, so be it. that's how tired i was getting of all her drama, willing to forgo sex! but a couple of blocks later i turn around and she has caught up to me. the night watchman lets us into the hotel, and we go to our separate rooms for show. 10 minutes later i tiptoe down to her room and tell her to come over to mine. she had told me she doesn't (or can't) have anyone in her room. we hang out and chill for a bit, she wants beer and water, but the watchman is asleep and everything is locked.
eventually we get down to fucking. another hot one, although thank god more restrained than the previous night. no (ok, very little) biting and scratching. i just love being able to pick her up and bounce her up and down. another thing i love about this girl is that she can take (even likes? ) my length. <i now i'm not being one of those stupid machismos guys and boasting. in fact, it's usually a curse that i'm slightly longer than average, because it hurts most girls to go deep. but she likes it. </i then she pulls some shit about the condom which i can't really understand but i get the idea that she doesn't want to use it anymore. while i still have some of my big head in control, i'm thinking maybe she wants no condom because that would seal me to actually being her boyfriend, or something equally twisted.
well, i am ashamed to admit that my baser instincts took over and i tossed off the condom. oh man, was it good. and oh shit, am i scared. how many other guys has she done this with? what are my chances of getting an std or worse, hiv? based on what i've researched since then, i shouldn't be too worried after one experience of unprotected vaginal, although i definitely need to get tested once the 3-6 month window is over.
tuesday:
in the morning, diana is all worried about seen exiting my room. she eventually sneaks out, we shower and change on our own, and go out to lunch. we go down the block to one of their regular places and sure enough shortly another couple of the girls join us. diana tells them (none too politely) to leave. she's also rude to the waitress, which is a big no-no with me. i'm beginning to really tire of this girl and her attitude. besides everything else, she's incredibly jealous. despite telling me that i could have other girls in my room (not that i've wanted to, but she was the one to bring it up), she has since gone ballistic if she thinks i'm looking at another girl. the previous night she kept accusing me of being with another girl before i came to meet her. why? how would i have time or the energy? i really don't get it, but she's incredibly competitive with all these imaginary other girls. she's also acting like we've been married for years. we've fucked for two nights. that's it! how can someone get all possesive after only two nights? !
we wander down to the bar/club which is usually dead during the day, but it's tuesday, the day the cruise ship comes in. the whole town is a beehive of activity. vendors hawking trips, tour guides, touts, etc. including the club. they're going full-tillt. the bouncer invites me in for a beer. i decline, since it's not even noon. but it seems like one could get some on tuesday daytimes. to answer the question of an earlier poster who was asking about daytime action.
diana flies off the handle about something inconsequential, so i make my exit stage right. later in the afternoon i realize i'm completely exhausted, feeling the beginnings of a cold coming on, and would just rather have a tranquil night in by myself. so i stay in. perhaps i should have tracked her down and told her i was staying in, but i just couldn't be bothered. after watching a movie on tv, i'm drifting off to sleep, and around 1:30 am, diana starts knocking on my door. at first i pretend to be asleep or not there, i just ignore her thinking she'll go away after a couple of tries. oh no, this is the devil we're talking about. she comes around to the window (which is about 4' above street level, with security bars over it), peers in and sees that i'm there. and thinks that i have a girl in the room with me (where? under the bed? hiding in the shower? ), which is why i won't open the door. i calmly explain that i'm tired, and just want to be left alone. let's talk in the morning. she does not calm down. she starts getting frantic and hysterical. eventually i try to close the wooden panels behind the window bars and she slams them open, sending the tv remote crashing into a million pieces. the tv wobbled on its stand, but fortunately did not fall. eventually i get the window battened tight. i had been wondering what that 2x4 in the room was for. so now she concentrates her efforts on the door to the room. banging, yelling, screaming, trying to pick the lock, throwing her entire weight against the door. i'm impressed that door stood it's ground, it didn't look that strong. this saga went on for hours. it began about 1:30, and went on well past 5 am. i am not making this up. i wish i was.
what about hotel security, you ask? the night watchman kept trying to talk her down, and thank god never gave into her numerous demands to unlock my door. but i think he was just as scared of her as i was, and didn't want to lay a hand on her. i couldn't understand most of what they were talking (her yelling) about, but i think the gist was, "if he wants to lock himself in his room, that's his right.come back in the morning and you two can talk about it. " you might think i'm a wimp for not opening the door and just dealing directly with her, but i was honestly scared. not so much for my personal safety, since i knew i was bigger and stronger than her, but rather what might ensue if we did get into it. i was also nervous about my stuff. although i had packed away as much as possible, i knew that if she got into the room she would start breaking anything in sight. the other prong to my strategy was to make it clear that she was the crazy one and i was the calm one, not taking her bait.
oh, earlier when the window was open, she threw her shoe at me (which was fortunately just a flip-flop, so it didn't quite have the strike she was hoping for). much later in the night she started complaining about needing her shoe back, so i tossed it through the transom above the door. which for some reason got her even more furious. she then hoisted herself up to the transom, from where she could see in and yell at me more directly. i'm still not sure why she didn't go ahead and climb through the transom, it sure looked like she could have. that would have led to a whole other saga that i'm glad didn't happen.
the paranoid in me (remember it's 4am and i'm running on no sleep and pure adrenaline, barricaded in my room at this point for hours) is afraid she's going to go get the cops. she keeps threatening this and more to the night watchman. threatening to wake up the matriarch and the rest of the family (although the entire hotel must have been awake by this point). i knew i was generally in the right, but who knows what shit she would make up to them. that i had beat her, not paid her, plus she knew that i had a good bit of pot in my room, so that might be cause for the police to search and demand a bribe or something. i also started imagining there was some mafia she could go call upon to come and break down my door and shoot me. even though the rational part of my head knew that everyone who knew this girl knew she was the insane one, and those who had met me would take my side. but still. so i resolved to very quietly pack up all my things and change hotels, yet again.
i finally got a couple hours of sleep (with screams of "abrir la puerta! ringing through my ears for those hours. i've decided that shakespeare's line needs to be revised. "hell hath no fury like a <i colombian</i woman scorned. the thing was, she was only scorned in her own head. i didn't do anything wrong! ). i think she finally exhausted herself and crashed on the couch in the lobby, right in front of my room. finally when i felt the coast was clear, i gingerly cracked my door open. no diana in sight. whew. a couple of the family were there, but they didn't seem mad or anything. when i tried to explain that i was leaving, they got the patriarch. i'm not sure if this was the same guy who had been up with her all night, but he knew the story. he said they kicked her out this morning and she was no longer welcome there, but that she was the trouble, and i was welcome to stay. he really wanted me to stay, which was a nice reassurance. but i tried to explain that i didn't want the crazy ***** knowing where i was living. i think he understood.
so i walked over to the other side of town, on the other side of parque bolivar, around calles 16-20, where the hotels are a bit more expensive but also a bit nicer. besides, it's where all the trendy clubs and bars are. found a nice place, and have been chilling here for a few days.
next post: i run into diana! hook up with another girl who now thinks i'm her boyfriend! drama!
my apologies for the incredible length of this post. i just had to get it off my chest, and i thought it would be entertaining and hopefully enlightening for some of you.

Very entertaining, but scary report. I can't wait to read the rest. I'm glad that you kept your cool through all this. Although, I would love to meet a wild and kinky girl on my excursions, I certainly wouldn't want any psychos like this Deana! But then again, if she's a freak in bed.
To continue the saga of Diana and the others. (the rest of the story is thankfully less dramatic than part 1.)
I laid low for several days, not even venturing over to those couple of blocks by the club. Which felt weird, since I had started making friends with some of the girls, the bouncer, and besides, my favorite cafe is nearby (Merkabar/Welcome restaurant, on Calle 10 between Carr 2 & 3 I think. Great cheap food and juices. Good gringo breakfasts. Their seafood stew is famous, and rightfully so. Gilberto, one of the co-owners, speaks English and is very helpful for advice). But you can understand why I wanted to stay away from anywhere I might run into crazy Diana.
Towards the end of the week I wandered into Hotel Miramar (a few doors down from Welcome restaurant) since they organize trips to Parque Tayrona and Ciudad Perdida. Who should be sitting there having lunch but Yuranis, the girl who had been hitting on me earlier in the week. Yuranis is not as hot as Diana, but she's also not crazy. She's a sweet girl, mellow, with enormous jugs and cute braces, but unfortunately also one of those beer bellies that so many Latin American women sport. We get to talking (flirting), and who should walk in 10 minutes later but Diana herself. Uh-oh.
I thought it was weird that they both should be in this primarly gringo backpacker's hangout. Turns out that Diana's new "boyfriend" is staying there. The poor guy looked clueless. I wished I could have pulled him aside to warn him to get out while he still could.
At first Diana and I both pretended not to see each other, then finally she came over and asked in a sickly sweet sarcastic voice "como estas? " That seemed to be it (relief). But it was not to be. After moping around the place for a bit (she and new bf seemed to be in some kind of argument), she tells me in no uncertain terms that she doesn't like the idea of Yuranis and I hooking up. Where the hell does she get off telling us that? But Yuranis is just as scared of her wrath as I am (LOL), so I discreetly slip her the card of my hotel and tell her to meet me there in an hour.
5 minutes later Diana starts talking loudly some shit that I couldn't really understand, basically embarrasing herself in front of the rest of the patrons. I get up to pay the bill and get out of there, and the manager quietly asks me what is going on (in a half quizzical, half amused way). Is she my girlfriend? (which I guess would explain her odd behavior). Diana overhears this and practically shouts "EX-girlfriend! " (You'll remember from part 1 that we were together for all of TWO NIGHTS).
It's times like these I wish my Spanish were good enough to eloquently rip her a new asshole in front of everyone. Alas, all I can do is gracefully bid adieu to her and the rest of the patrons we'd disturbed.
So Yuranis meets me at my hotel and at first she's acting coy, not letting me get at her magnificent boobs, etc. Eventually she relents, since she clearly wants it as much as I do. She's a good deep french kisser. Not so into cock sucking, despite my DATY for a long time. Darn.
I'm thinking we're probably just going to stay in, since it's already early evening. But she wants to go out, and furthermore, wants coke. Normally I don't go out of my way to seek that stuff out, but when in Rome. So she runs out for an errand and comes back with unbelievably cheap (and good) stuff (which I paid for, since I was pretty sure I wasn't paying for the sex. Might as well be a gentleman and pick up the bar tab, as it were).
After getting our buzz on we go out, even though it's a Sunday. Not much open. We find one club/bar (almost totally empty) and hang out for a bit. She tells me she'll be right back.comes back 15 minutes later with the preggo girl I met on my first night. Strange, since they seemed to be competitors. (Preggo told me she isn't working now since she's pregnant, but I have my doubts. Thinking about the tabooness of fucking a beautiful pregnant woman is enough to start heart palpitations, no? ) I don't know why Yuranis wanted her there, but I liked this girl. Very pretty face, and a smart-alec personality that is fun. We close this bar and they lead the way back over to C 10, to an "after-hours" place that's very hole-in-the-wall, rather scummy, very local. It might have felt dangerous if I weren't with them. Very crowded, everyone drunk and acting crazy. Loud music, smoking, unrestrained dancing, occassional bottles smashing. That kind of place. There was a stripper pole and occassionally some girl would use it, but it didn't really seem like a strip club. Another girl friend of theirs I had met earlier in the week joined us, and we polished off a bottle of rum.
Eventually we made it out of there and Yuranis and I go back to my hotel, whereupon we proceed to have hot sex culminating in a fabulous tittie fuck. Now here's the interesting thing. She also wants to have sex sans condom. You would think they were trying to get me to knock them up so that I would be tied to them, but Diana really doesn't want kids (I believe her. I think she realizes she would make a terrible mom, and doesn't like kids anyway), and Yuranis told me she was close to her period, so there was no chance of pregnancy. So why do they want dangerous sex? Because then it feels more like boyfriend sex as opposed to client sex? Yet again, I let the little head do the thinking. I really need to have my big head checked before this happens again. What really freaked me out was in the morning when we were doing it again, I pulled out to find blood on my dick. Oops, guess she started her period.
As luck would have it (since I didn't particularly want to spend a week only with this girl, and she was getting pretty clingy), she was due to go back home to some other city several hours away the next day. Yes! "I'll miss you, mi amore, wait for me, don't look at any other girls, blah blah. " Uh, sure. My phone registered 26 missed calls from her that day and 16 the next. Just calling to make sure I wasn't looking at anyone else? That's a bit excessive, if you ask me.
Again exhausted, I laid low for a few days. Besides also not wanting to be a real jerk and hit on any of her friends or co-workers. The weekend came (last night) and I met some cool guys in Crab's Bar, a great rock n' roll bar on Calle 18 btwn Car 3 & 4. We ended up at Bananas strip club, which is not on Calle 10 as earlier reports stated, but is actually on Carr 2 (1 block up from the beach) btwn Calle 18 & 19. The girls range in attractiveness from 5. 8, I would say. No real stunners, and hardly any 8's. But a really sweet young thing named Erika started chatting with me (speaking English, which I'm always a sucker for) and I loved her personality even if her body left a bit to be desired.
Sometimes that will tip the scales for me. If a girl has spark, a pretty smile, nice eyes, laughs a lot, and is genuine, I'll usually take that over a smoking body who is vapid upstairs or worse, apathetic. Bananas closes at 3am (on Fridays, not sure about the rest of the week), and the staff was handing out fliers to an "after-hours" strip club owned by the same people called Club Ibiza (Calle 25, No. 3d-45, Playa Salguero, Antiguo Angeles. I have no idea where that is, but they told me it's far. A decent cab ride away. I also heard it's expensive, but I din't get specifics. The flier shows a private pool (! )
We decided forgo the other club and instead grab our girls and head back to the fancy apartments that my new friends were staying in close to the airport. Hotel Irotoma, torre belo horizonte. Wow was it nice. Huge, modern apartments with all the latest appliances, huge tubs, private beach, and. 800, 000/night. Ouch! We partied there for a bit before the guys took their girls into their bedrooms. I had a nice time chatting with Erika (she's only been in town two days. Hopes to only be here for a week, just to make a bit of money before going home). I really wanted to take her back to my hotel, but I was balking at the 150k price she wanted. Eventually 7am rolls around, we're still flirting, and the other two girls appear, wanting to head back to the city. Why is it that prepagos always want to skedaddle so early in the morning? I know time is money, but wouldn't they rather sleep in after all the late-night partying? It was clear that Erika really wanted to come to my place as well (all those hours of teasing had left her as horny as I was), but she had to make money, and didn't want to give it away for free. So we settled on 60k.
It's always crazy strolling into your hotel with a hooker as the morning shift is starting. The sex was nice, she's passionate in bed, but again, was not into giving head, despite me getting her off by mouth. We did it once, fell asleep for a couple of hours, did it again, then she had to go. I'm exhausted.
So here I am on Saturday afternoon trying to decide what to do tonight. Whether I have the energy to hit the clubs and try to pick up a real girl, since I'd like to avoid the prepagos. They're great because it's a sure thing, but besides not wanting to spend the money, they probably have a higher chance of harboring diseases (particularly if you're an idiot and fuck them without a condom).

Reminded of me of some of the sagas from my past.
The Costenas seem to have this jealous crazy thing about them, more than other chicas, at least in my experience too.
Holy shit.
Is that maybe what too much Colombian Marching powder can do to a girl?

[QUOTE=Floyd Dylan]Whether I have the energy to hit the clubs and try to pick up a real girl, since I'd like to avoid the prepagos. They're great because it's a sure thing, but besides not wanting to spend the money, they probably have a higher chance of harboring diseases (particularly if you're an idiot and fuck them without a condom).[/QUOTE]Forgot to mention: I remember reading some years ago (in a UN report on Thailand? ) that the *more expensive* wgs had a *lower* rate of stds than the general population. Not that that should encourage you to risk it or otherwise
Hope this doesn't contravene J's safe-sex discussion ban.
as anyone who has been in santa marta for very long knows, sundays are completely dead. it's actually quite peaceful how quiet the town is. so i was surprised when a girl called out to me as i was crossing the street (around calle 10 & carr. 2) - i thought at first it must be someone i knew who was saying hello.
turned out she's a "certified massage therapist" (pulling a bottle of massage oil out of her purse to prove it), and wanted to offer me an hour-long massage "plus fucky-fucky", of course (!) for 25,000. she's not much to look at, but who could turn down a massage and fuck for $10?? even if the massage was crap, it would still be worth it. so off we go to "her" hotel (actually just an hourly hotel a block away). i paid 5,000 for the room. she's friendly and chatty as we shower and get ready. it was actually a decent massage followed by pretty good sex. i love this country!
i asked if she would like me to share her name and number with my buddies, and she said of course. her name is milena, and her phone is 312-689-6630.
in other news, i ran into diana (see previous report/saga) at a restaurant, with yet a new gringo "boyfriend". she said, "you sexed my friend (and that ain't cool)!". leaving aside the bad grammar, i wanted to point out to her that she claimed to have only one friend in the world, and i did not fuck her (although that would have been sweet revenge). and by the way, i'll "sex" whomever i want, whenever i want!! but i took the high road and just rolled my eyes and walked away instead.
another update - i hooked up again with yuranis, the girl who was on the rag the last time we fucked. despite it being 10 days since her period, she bled again. luckily i was wearing a condom, but this still freaks me out. she claims it's because she's anemic, and it's no big deal. is this possible? could an std cause this? i keep trying to get her to a doctor, but she's being evasive.
finally - i've learned that if you haven't had any luck scoring during the evening, a good last chance is to hang around outside of banana's when they close - 3am on weekends. the girls who haven't already gone home with a guy start coming out about 3:15 or so, and many of them are looking for company.
[QUOTE=Floyd Dylan]I had a crazy couple of days last week that I'm still coming to terms with. Thought you all would appreciate hearing about it.[/QUOTE]Wow part one had me rolling man. Especially the flip flop throwing and her getting even more pissed when you tossed it back to her through the transom. If you aren't at the point where you can laugh about it just yet, one day you will look back on that and laugh! Good times. Trust me man that's some funny stuff!
Floyde Deylan you still in Santa Marta? I´m in the area if you would like to meet up for a beer. Drop me aline Iam in Taganga for a couple days then over to santa marta for a new hotel. Also any hotle you might recommend in Santa Marta.
Thanks,

Hey Floyd,
Checked out the welcome resterant it was very good stuff. So whats your massage girl really look like? Ok I will admit I am a little courious and a little afraid of what she may turn up as.
1 TO 10 how low will she go? Looks like I am going to be hanging out here thru the 13th. Things have ground to a stop it seems as all the hotels are filling up and I am scavaging for what ever I might find.
Sun City at 50mil my god I am going backwards but all I could find today or lets say that was the cream of the crop for booking all of next week.

[QUOTE=UrbanWildlife](Getting to Santa Marta/Rodadero from the airport in Cartagena) Walk out of the airport and walk straight ahead about one block and you are in Barrio Crespo, and on main street, which is calle 70. At the corner take a right and you will see all the transport companies offices lined up along the street. It really does not matter what one you use as I have used many of them and the service is always the same. A company called Puerta a Puerta is one of them. I have also used Invertours del caribe on many occasions. [url]www.invertours.com[/url] and they were excellent. The most popular company probably is Marsol. [url]http://transportesmarsolsa.com/home.html[/url] The ride is approximately 4 hours and the cost is about $25. 00 dollars USA It is not a bad ride at all.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the transport information between Cartagena and Santa Marta.

Helpmann[/QUOTE]I know Santa Marta/Rodadero area very well, and in fact I will be spending time there once again next week. If I can be of any help to you in locating an apartment, launches, or anything that will make your trip more enjoyable and hassle free please let me know. The same goes for Cartagena. In fact, I am thinking of writing some sort of a guide for a first time visitor to this area, as I have done for many who were going to Cartagena. I also have tentative plans to make it to the carnival next year, as Gonzo's reports were totally awesome.
I have used your information you have posted for my initial trip to the Dominican Republic back in 2005, so this will be the least I can do for you.
I will be arriving on Wednesday in Cartagena, meeting up with several members from the board over the next 3 weeks, so if anyone wants to join our group send me a p.m. We have some fun events planned during this time! We will be in both Santa Marta and Cartagena, and as always, it will be a great time!

When I plan out the trip this Summer/Fall, I probably will need your advice on hotels and apartments in all three cities.

Hello,
I am thinking about making a trip to Santa Marta. I will be bringing a female friend from Medellin. I was wondering what kind of activities there are in Santa Marta. What I am most interested in is the diving, booze cruises, jet skis rentals, fishing, stuff you may find in a resort area like Cancun.
Also looking for a hotel, in Santa Marta or surrounding communities, would like something on the beach. I been looking online but information is vague, on travel sights about accommodations.
If there is a vacationing web site for Santa Marta let me know
Anyway I will keep looking through the posts here.
Thanks
I recently went on a Road Trip to Santa Marta. I stayed in the Hotel Tamaca on Rodadero. The location was great. The service at the hotel was good. Nice spot for the weekend.
I went to La Puerta on Thursday night. The place was full, the girls were only subpar. I bumped into this American guy from LA there. He has lived there for 4 years. He knows the town inside and out.
This guy was great. He gave me the low down on all the girls in Santa Marta. The next thing I know, were back at my place banging three hot non-pro's.
The next day, the girls leave. We hang out on the beach all day drinking Colombia Club. Then we see this smoking chick on the beach. And, he knows her!
He talks to her in Spanish. My spanish sucks. He tells me she a great girl, she doesn't sleep around, and she needs money for school. I don't care what the reason, this girl was HOT!
He tells me we can get her back to the hotel for the entire night and morning. We both pitch in and give her $400,000 mil for school. That was steep for one girl, but I had to give her a try.
We take a siesta. Later we ate a fish dinner at this place on main drag in Rodadero. Then we went back to the hotel.
When Maria showed up, she looked stunning. The hotel had no problem letting her in. She came up to our room.
She entered and she had a black dress on. She was really shy. We gave her some Vodka. And then things got started.
The girl banged the hell out of us both. Maybe she hadnt had sex for some months or maybe she was really thankful for the money, but she was the BEST sex I had in Colombia.
She asked us if we had any diseases. She was so sweet and innocent. Both my friend and I had been tested recently. We both told her no.
So she took off both condoms and starts blowing us both. I knew she was clean. Then my friend started fucking her again and blew a huge load in her pussy. I blew a huge load in her mouth - and she swallowed the hole thing. We took a break and then continued off and on again until 9:00AM.
We contacted her on Sunday. She came back over to the hotel and did us both again. I've never seen a chick take so much cum
This was by far the best sex i had yet in Colombia. This chick was so hot. And I new my money was going to a worthy cause. I asked if i could give her number to my friends. She said yes, but only to my friends.
I'll be seeing this girl on my next trip to Colombia. If anyone wants to contact her, just send me a PM.

Sweet maybe but if she sucked and fucked like you say she did she sure as hell wasn't "innocent".
"I knew she was clean"
No you didn't. There is NO WAY of knowing if she or anyone else is clean.
400,000 pesos is a lot of plata in Colombia for a piece of ass dude. On second thought that isn't a lot of money it's a RIDICULOUS amount of money.
I'm glad you had a good time though.

Ok. Manizales. The bottom line is that you are correct. Sure there is no way of ever being 100% sure. However for me, it is a calculated risk:
1. She was a referal from a trusted friend.
2. I talked with talked with the girl and conducted a cross reference of all her answers. Everything checked out.
3. She is a mother and mothers don't want to get a disease and leave their children.
Yes, I could be wrong. But, she's not a hooker in the alley giving blow jobs to homeless people. My buddy knows her. Good girl. Knows the family.
400, 000 is ridiculous for an average chick. But for her it was well worth it. She fucked us both for 9 hours! That's pretty reasonable, since HOT chicks like her go for 350, 000 an HOUR in some places. If she was a pro, she could easily make 1, 000, 000 per night. Plus she really liked it. None of that fake "I'm cumming" bullshit to make you cum. And to take all that cum?

Hey guys,
You may or may not have read my reports last year from Santa Marta. I caught a lot of shit for saying it was better than Cartagena but for me it was.
Only problem my hotel was NOT girl-friendly at all. And I like to stay at Rodadero. Can you recommend any good hotel (I can pay around $100) or private apt. on the beach? I'll be there from 9/16-20.
I'll be most grateful for any info/advice you can give me. Thanks!
Doc Bill
Hey everyone,
I want to start by saying I have read back through the reports, and I understand that once I get there are plenty of places to stay in Santa Marta and Rodero.
With that said I am going to the area for the first time in January and bringing a girl. On my first trip I would like to have a place to stay. So if anyone has a number for a place that they have stayed I would appreciate it.
I am looking for somewhere on or near the beach. Private bath with running water including hot water. Hotel or Villa is fine under $100.00 a night. Also if you have photos of the place that would be a plus.
Thanks,
Guys
I don't have a photo but do a search on Hotel Sierra. It's right literally on the boardwalk/beach, has good rooms, quiet, clean, and well -priced. I didn't like their no-chica policy but that isn't an issue for you.
They'll also arrange tours & stuff for you if you want - reasonable and reliable.
I stayed here one night on the end of a birdwatching trip. I was sharing a hotel room, so my options were pretty limited. The beach road in front of my hotel and the beach itself were packed with families. Eventually a couple girls on a bench waved to me, a thick one and a skinny one. The thick one did all the talking. Said there was a hotel with short time room (13k), taxi would be 5K, etc.
I glanced at the skinny one a few times, she looked kind of interesting. Finally she says her first word: "vamos". So we did. When we got to the room, she surprised me with a very wet DFK. I scored some points by remembering her name (Angela) and some more points with extended DATY, got very nice BBBJ and great sex, a little over an hour. We actually held hands on the taxi back to the beach, not quite how a SW session usually ends.
Unexpectedly, my best time in Colombia.

thank you for the information, just one more question do the rooms have a their own bathroom with a hot shower?
thanks,

speedstick - yes.
i'll be in sm tomorrow (16th) through the 20th. please give me a holler if anyone wants to hook up and cause some trouble.

[quote=doc bill]speedstick. yes.
i'll be in sm tomorrow (16th) through the 20th. please give me a holler if anyone wants to hook up and cause some trouble.
doc.[/quote]i just did a week in sm. i have been there twice before but never to monger.
i stayed at a condo called nuevo rodadero. 80k a night. pool gym no hot water. a small store was at the base of the building which was very convienent. also chica friendly.
a short walk to the beach.
the novia stayed for a night then had to go to baq so i was free to explore. hooked up with doc bill and we decided to check out the action. first off there is sw on the beach road in rodadero. i found a spinner who for 100k was gfe. bbbj and she even made my bed aferward. that was a first for me and i got a kick out of that. so me and doc bill first go to flamingos. without a doubt the high end spot in sm. very sharp girls in attendance. they ask 200k for a half hour, but we got phone numbers for half that price off site.
then went around the corner to i thought was los angles but they changed the name to ibeis i think. one stunner sitting outside, but inside the place only a few average looking girls so we left. next we went into the heart of sm and walked down calle #10 and saw many sw, but all were either **** or ugly. ended up at bananas which on friday night they wanted a cover charge, but i talked them out of that. 50k for 25 minutes and there were a couple of 8s but in all my experence i have never heard music so loud. we tried to hang in there but it was unbearable. all in all not a bad trip for the 21 days i spent in baq and sm. also met a new friend in doc bill who speaks good spanish which is nice to have for a wingman.
decent mongering to be had in sm. i did not give address since all the cab drivers know the locations.
vic, it was a pleasure hanging out with you, and your company definitely added to the experience.
i'm going to agree with urban wildlife that santa marta is a great place to bring a girl rather than find one, but having said that there is a lot to be had in santa marta. vic just reported most of what we did so there isn't much i can add. but i'll try.
we also hit a place on the malecon (sea wall) in santa marta called the something ". of love." it's between 10th and 11th where the streetwalkers are. i sessioned there last year, but only because the girl was so hot, not because i liked the place so much. it's kind of crowded, lot of guys getting lap dances, and the male staff is way too pushy. i like to kick back, look around, have a coke. hard to do here. i saw a couple of girls i liked, and most were i'd say 4-8, about 15 or so there, but i didn't like the pushiness of staff so i left.
i think i found the streetwalkers to be of a little higher quality than vic did, but many were clearly ****. no thanks, no chances. i can vouch for the girl vic got on the street in rodadero. she was pretty hot, and i love the added touch of her making his bed.
lots of street action in rodadero. i took a black girl up with me, only to find out once we were in my room that she was pregnant, which for me is just a real turnoff. my apologies in advance to any future mother of my child. anyway we were there and naked so i thought wtf, it's a new experience. it was ok in terms of just getting off, and it only cost the equivalent of usa $25. i would not repeat.
bananas, as vic reports, was unbearably loud. painfully loud. too bad, because there were some lookers there.
i stayed at the sierra hotel and suites. a nice suite. get number 10 if you can, for about $85 usa a night. they are not girl-friendly, but i tipped the night guy and there was no problem once we had an understanding. this will work by the way, in most non-chica friendly places. just be nice, get to know people, and money talks.
i had a big hassle with the hotel checking out. they claimed i had a water and fruit juice from the wet bar the night before. of course the money is negligible but out of principal i just don't like being lied to, especially to my face by some asshole who is starting to raise his voice. well those of you who know me know that i'm pretty gentle, but i blew up in this guy's face, all the while the lady at the desk just looking very concerned. i told him to get the f. k out of my space, and he walked away. the lady said "tranquilo, " and i asked her if she planned to charge me for the drinks, to which she said no. we'll see.
otherwise i had a great time doing nonsexual things. the beach, waterfalls at minca, etc. see urban wildlife's guide for all the good info. overall santa marta is a great place with pretty good, not great, mongering, and an even better place to bring a chica.

Maybe this doesn't belong here but maybe it will help someone else. Neither I nor several other old-timers of this Forum are able to put a report in the Reports of Distinction, and we are all not stupid (even if I myself am "technologically challenged."
Could someone please put my report below in the Reports of Distinction as Jackson suggests and explain to me how to do it?
Sorry, Jackson, I can´t follow your instructions.

Hi Doc,
Good grief. How hard can it be?
The link to the ROD is already written for you.
It's in the lower left hand corner of the report.
It looks like this [post]Number[/post ]
All you have to do is copy this small little piece of text, and then paste it into a new report in the appropriate ROD thread.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
Doc,
Thank for the information looking forward to my trip in Jan.
I think I got your report listed in the ROD thread.
thanks, speedstick, and enjoy your trip. let me know if i can help any.
sorry jackson. like i said i´m (very) technologically retarded!
[QUOTE=Johnnywalker1]I recently went on a Road Trip to Santa Marta. I stayed in the Hotel Tamaca on Rodadero. The location was great. The service at the hotel was good. Nice spot for the weekend.[/quote]I went to La Puerta on Thursday night. The place was full, the girls were only subpar. I bumped into this American guy from LA there. He has lived there for 4 years. He knows the town inside and out.
This guy was great.
I wonder if you can PM me with contact info for that guy from LA living in Santa Marta. He sounds like a great contact.
By the way, is the Hotel Tamaca guest friendly? How much is the hotel per nite?
I have been to Santa Marta and would like to be in contact with the guy who has lived there for the last 4 years. I spent a month there about 3 years ago, and aside from the heat (VERY HOT) it has a lot of available girls who circulate throughout Colombia depending on the time of year. Can you give me the contact info for this guy as I thinking about returning and would like to meet some of the "available" girls who do not work the circuit.
Gracias
I would like to know if anyone (and yes, I have RTFF) has found a decent chica-friendly hotel at the beach in Rodadero? Does this not exist? Apartment?
This was my second stay at Hotel Sierra and my last. They are not girl friendly, yes you can tip the night guy, but they are rude and dishonest. I would not recommend any more. Where can I stay next time, guys? UL?
Yea like the previous poster, I RTFF for this past year and I guess the only place it like Calle 10 and Cra 1, 2, 3 or in that area along with the beach. I will be in Rodadera on Friday though Sunday and would like to hook up with some one that knows thier way around. I am new to the city and don't have alot of time to explore by my self the way I usually like to do.
I do have a phone number and will respond if someone PMs me. One thing though. I am not into really loud music, Colombians really like to have thier music really loud I have noticed. I don't, not unless I am paying for and going to a concert of my choosing. Colombians really take the cake on this. By far the loudest night clubs and bars any where on the planet. Just my 2 cents.
You obviously haven't been to Cuba! But yes, in general, for some reason, Latinos like to sit in dark dingy bars with music or tv extremely extremely extremely loud. I don't get it, and I avoid it like the plague.
Vick´s Pick and I went to a good club in SM, Banana's, one night, and they lost our business only because the music was unbearably loud. Don't these people know?
I am seriously considering making an offer on this real estate listing.

It takes a minute for the slide show to start.
I am a white male gringo in my mid sixties and want to retire to Colombia.
Should I make this purchase am I painting a target on my back?
Would there be resentment from the locals?
Can you think of any problems that I might have?
Would it be safe to have one or two different chicas a week up for fun and games?
Any comments are welcome
Thanks

I am in Cartagena now but may be visiting Santa Marta very soon. Does anyone have contact info for the American living in Santa Marta? Or know of any contacts in Santa Marta?
Hello, to all fellow esteemed Mongers,
After reading the quality posts and many of the questions posted here, I felt the urge to add my two cents on Santa Marta.
I agree that it is a wonderful place to bring a chica and it seems that it would be no problem to convince a chica to accompany you there. SM is considered to be THE place in Colombia as far as being the best beach town and rightfully so! BTW, I found that chicas are very keen on travelling to Cartagena as well but more for the ritzy tourist feel rather than the quality of the beaches (which are NOT that good, IMO).
However, I disagree with others that SM is not a good place to monger. True, it doesn't come close to MDE. The quality/quantity is not as good as Cartagena or BQ either but the prices are better, especially if you monger in SM proper and not the Rodadero. There were two main strip joints in Rodadero last July when I was there: Los Angeles and Flamingos. Bananas was more economical but the selection was less. Los Angeles had MANY hot chicas but was more pricy. It seemed that the chicas there were free to set their own prices and some were more than I cared to pay. However, there were several 10's there that beat anything I found at the high-end strip joints in MDE. Of course there were many 6-9's and I was able to negotiate something to my liking.
Downtown SM had several strip clubs to choose from that were very economical. The one that is on the main strip across from the oceanwalk is called "Vedero el Amor" or something like that. There was a big selection but only a few 7-8's. The girls were very friendly and fun and the price was about $25 a pop. There are several more such as Bananas (which had a good selection and several hotties) but is very dark and LOUD! I don't remember all of the names of the others that I went to as I was a little drunk, but I just found a young taxi driver and told him to drive around. Babylonia was the name of one of them, I believe. All in all, one needs to visit them all and IMO there will be no problems finding something that you like, whatever your tastes.
As far as hotels go, I stayed at Hotel Mar Azul which is only a couple blocks off the beach in Rodadero and was very economical. I'm not sure if it was "chica friendly" or not but I never paid any extras for having girls over. Maybe it was because the place was packed and busy at the time and they didn't notice or maybe it was because I made friends with the hotel staff?
As for things to do in the vicinity, IMO if one does not visit Parque Tayrona while in the area the trip is wasted. It is considered a national treasure and for good reason! Absofuckinglutely breath-taking! There are many outfits in Rodadero which organize day tours of the park and it is not expensive. Also, there is a nice fishing village close by, I believe called Tagonga which is beautiful and popular with the backpacking crowd. Economical and with a very sleepy, natural feel.
In conclusion, if one would like to explore a beautiful and relatively cheap paradise on earth, then SM is on my top list. But, one does not have to do without the creature comforts (such as mongering) to do so. It is not a "one-stop-shop" like some places but if you like a sense of adventure and the thrill of hunting for poon, then it should fit the bill. Hope this was helpful.
Stay horny my friends

Please [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php]Click Here[/url] for more information.[/blue][/size][/QUOTE]Visited Santa Marta in June for several days, then returned in October for a more extended stay. Drove a rental car east to Tayrona and around. It was nice natureza. As for downtown SM, the historic section/center, and the Malecon. Construction on streets and sidewalks was being done in the center, so it was a little inconvenient to have a car. Will be nice when its finished, but even so, Santa Marta has a ways to go (if it ever gets there) before it looks like a fully restored 18th or 17th century colonial tourist town. Infrastructure not uncomfortable but hotel and restauants in front of the (crowded/small) beach not as good quality as Rodero. Saw the clubs described by the previous poster -- they can get a bit raucus. There's a spillover in front of these places on some nights that extends for a block radius. By the looks of them, chicas who were refused admission, on drugs or sick, or just too unpresentable. On the Malecon later in the evening there are SW's. Sit at a cafe with a beer and see them. OR, walk and see them sitting at the cafes. Some alright and some young. The older and not-so-good-looking ones are hovering in the side streets in the first block back from the beach. Some nights not many, other nights a parade. Don't go expecting top quality, but if you sit at a table outside long enough odds are fair that something decent enough will pass by.
[QUOTE=UrbanWildlife]I would just arrive in Rodadero and go straight to the beachfront area. You will find many touts with rental information for you, or you can go to the front desk of these apartment buildings and ask about availability. This might sound crazy not booking in advance, but this way you will have an opportunity to view an apartment before renting it, and you will be able to negotiate yourself a great deal.[/QUOTE]Until what time are the touts out? Next month I will be arriving in Barranquilla at 1642 and taking a van or bus from the airport or wherever, so I will arrive in Santa Marta no earlier than 1930.
Over the weekend I emailed Marsol to make reservations for a van ride from the airport in Barranquilla to Santa Marta. I never heard back. As a matter of fact every time I email a service hotel, van, etc. In South America they next to never return the email. Same happened with the hotel I am staying in.
Anyway. After not hearing anything yesterday I decided to give them a call. They have many numbers listed on the website. Ring Ring Ring. I could not get through. Then finally someone picked up the phone on one of the numbers. I told her that I needed a ride from the airport. She said that they don't pick up at the airport so I would need to come to Calle 64 with Cra 46 for the 7pm trip. I agreed. She told me that it would be 19K.
While waiting at the airport in Miami I went over my notes and saw that a company called Van Express leaves the airport bound for Santa Marta every two hours. I think the cost of this would have been 35K-40K.
When I arrived in Barranquilla I went upstairs to use the Banco Colombia ATM. The withdrawl limit was 400K, so I took that and went back downstairs in search of Van Express. There was nobody in the airport help desk and I didn't see any signs of anything related to transportation to Santa Marta. So I asked one of the cabbies who was standing around trying to find a fair. He said the only van services he knows of have to be made by appointment. I told him about the one I had and we came to a deal of 14K to take me to the designated Marsol office.
-Sidebar: When my plane touched down and I turned on my phone I had a text asking me how I was. I had no idea who it was because the number was unfamiliar. So I asked. The response was in French. Je suis la femme de tes reves (I am the woman of your dreams). Then Spanish. Yo te di los besos mas ricos en Colombia. Since I only know one person in Colombia who speaks French I knew it was an old flame in Barranquilla. She wanted me to stop by her house. I told the driver that I would like to make a quick stop at her house on the way to my destination (although it was wayyy out of the way.) Later on I recanted and just decided to hurry up and get to Santa Marta..
As we were walking to the car the driver said that I should just catch a van leaving from Simon Bolivar (Calle 19). From there it is a straight shot to Santa Marta. He said it would only cost 10K and was closer than where I had to go and would be better than going across town and having to back track. I agreed. In no time we were at Simon Bolivar. There was a van getting ready to leave. I paid the taxi guy 12K, gave the van assistant my suitcase, and hopped in with my backpack. I think 3 people came after me, which filled the van up. We all had to write our name on the same registration sheet. After that the helper collected the money.
10K was the price to a common stop in Santa Marta, however I had to pay 20K along with another Colombiano because we wanted door-to-door service. I set my stop watch. We arrived 1 hour and 37 minutes later in front of a Gazel gas station. Everybody started to exit except me and the 20K Colombiano. There were taxis parked at this spot and one sexy Colombiana who rode with us got into one. The helper came over and told me that the taxi would take me the rest of the way. He got my suitcase out of the back and gave it to me. I asked about my change. He said that I didn't have to pay the taxi driver, it was already included. I got into the taxi and 6 minutes later I arrived at my hotel.
Summary: 1. Taxi from BAQ to Simon Bolivar 12K
2. Van from Simon Bolivar to Santa Marta 20K
3. Time to Santa Marta from Simon be 1h37m
**If I had known this route beforehand I am sure I could have gotten the first taxi for 10K, then paid 10K for the van, and another 4K to the second taxi for a total of 24K.

El Rodadero is live and kicking. When I arrived last night there were nothing but families on the beach. I guess all the pros were resting up after carnaval. However, before going to sleep tonight I decided to take a stroll down the beach. They are out in full effect now. I would say there were about 16 SWs on the case. I semi-negotiated with two H-O-T ones, one 25 and her friend 23. I say semi because I never moved the price in either direction. I let them do all the talking. They started out with 100 for 1 and 150 for both of them. I said wait a minute. So that is 75 for each. Well I will take only 1 for 75. I just kept stooping behind the bench they were on and talking to them. Finally they said 100 for both. I asked how much time and they said 1 hour. Well that was fine with me because I should have actually been already sleep so I didn't need much time.
When we arrived at the hotel the night clerk said they couldn't go up. I'm like what the fuck dude. Then the girl told me to just give him a tip. I didn't have any change so I told him that I would straighten him out later. When we got to the room the 25 year old went out on the balcony to smoke. I cornered the 23 year old, Cindy was the name on her ID, and pulled her shirt up and started sucking her tits.
Then she told me I had to pay them first. And Mongering Rule #1 is? I told them that I would only pay after. That is when she went to consult with the friend. They insisted to get paid up front. I tried to deal and told them that I would give them 50 now and 50 after. They didn't want that so I told them to hit the door. I hate that I had to do it and if you could have seen them you would know why. But rules are rules. And if I let them control how and when they get paid you best believe that they would try to control the session. The bottom line is that I still have 100, 000 pesos in my pocket and they are still out on the street broke. Remember the golden rule. If you have the gold you do the ruling. Don't let the peasants rule you.

I have refused many times to pay up front but almost never have had to kick them to the curb,many times I have been able to seal the deal by showing them the money and putting it away. Some girls only ask to get paid up front due to getting stiffed by the local men,it happens frequently to them. Others are just hard core putas looking to control the situation as you pointed out.
Thanks for standing your ground,in the long run it helps all of us.
Going to Santa Marta with a Chica in March and wanted to know about an apartment to rent. I am an experienced monger and want an apartment with internet and ac if possible. Any recommondations or contacts for apartment rental would be great. Thanks my fellow hobbiests.

Trying to get you to pay upfront is a test to see if they can break you. I agree the session would have gone their way or the highway.
They are however giving you something quiet valuable upfront as well. The compromise is money "in site" or in arms reach. That's fair in my book.
You can't always have that control. It depends where you monger.
SW's and free lancers ALWAYS get paid after the deed is done.
Hotel Betoma is located on Calle 8 with Carrera 2 in El Rodadero. It is 85, 000 pesos for 1 person or 100, 000 for 2 people. I like the hotel itself. It is very comfortable. It has a balcony with a table and chairs, nice A/C, hot water, a refrigerator (every night about 6:30 a lady brings a pitcher of ice water to the room), and free wireless internet. From looking around town I am pretty sure it is one of the best hotel in the greater Santa Marta area.
The only problem that I have with this place is the noise. It is 1:26am and music is blaring from 3 or 4 different places. You can even hear music loud and clear, and able to make out word for word, from the beach which is a block away. And it has happened every night (4) since I arrived. The only peaceful time was about 2 hours ago when the power went out for a while. I sat out on the balcony and I finally was able to think. If you are a person who likes peace and quiet or who is a light sleeper then this is not the place to stay. I am a heavy sleeper and I have been dead tired coming in from diving the past few days, so I haven't had any problems getting to sleep. But when I am awake. Damn I wish they would quiet down. Do they have to make the entire city be involved in their party?
Gentlemen. The greater Santa Marta area consists of 3 sections: El Rodadero, Santa Marta local/town, and Taganga. They are all here together in that order. There is just a mountain range that separates each section from the other. In El Rodadero, which is a popular place to stay, the streets are numbered the same as they are in the Santa Marta local section. When making your reports and giving addresses please specify in which section of the city it is. This would help out greatly.
When I first got here I was looking for Floyd's spot, Merkabar/Welcome Restaurant. I thought I had found the place, but maybe they had changed the name or something. Just like he said, there was a restaurant part with a juice bar together with it. It was Calle 10 with Cra 2. I was sitting there eating and drinking waiting for chicas to show but I never saw any. It finally dawned on me that maybe the place he was talking about was in the Santa Marta portion of the city.
So when I finished diving today I got off the bus in the Santa Marta section in order to do some recon. I found the place right where he said it was, the other Calle 10 with Cra 2. I went in for salchipollo and melon juice and waited for any chicas that might show up. None showed.
After that I decided to look for Club Babilonia which was also mentioned in this thread. I did a google search the night before and there just happened to be a Club Babilonia group on facebook and the address was listed. Calle 12 with Cra 5. I scanned Calle 12 from Cra 4 to Cra 6 and did not see a damn thing. I am telling you there is no mongering in this city that is point and click. But I will discuss that in the next report. I just wanted to ask everyone to make clear which section of town they are discussing.

[QUOTE=Hang Low 69]Going to Santa Marta with a Chica in March and wanted to know about an apartment to rent. I am an experienced monger and want an apartment with internet and ac if possible. Any recommondations or contacts for apartment rental would be great. Thanks my fellow hobbiests.[/QUOTE]You are coming with someone and you are going to monger together with her?
Well anyway. Just show up in El Rodadero on Cra 2 and there will be plenty of people around in the street trying to shove an apartment down your throat. Some of them even hold signs that say apartment for rent.
I had only planned to stay at my hotel for 1 day until I found an apartment. After checking in I hit the street. This was about 9pm mind you. There was a guy trying to make me get an apartment. He took me to two of them. The first was some lady's basement. She came down and opened it up. It was looking good to me for 70, 000 pesos, A/C and all, until I asked about hot water. She looked at me like I was crazy. Reason being is that hot water is a rarity in Santa Marta.
The tout had faith though. I told him that I was going to go eat. He showed me several restaurants and when I finally settled on one he waited for me to finish eating (about 40 minutes later) then was trying to show me more places. He mentioned this studio here, that studio there. I told him I had to have hot water thought. So the next place he showed me, LOL, was the hotel I was already staying in. Then he tried to take me around the corner to Hotel San Francisco. Apparently, these are two of the few places in town with hot water.
So I decided to keep my hotel. For 15, 000 more pesos/day it's worth it to me to have hot water, free wireless in the room, and maid service everyday.
[QUOTE=Artisttyp]Absolutely. Trying to get you to pay upfront is a test to see if they can break you. I agree the session would have gone their way or the highway.
They are however giving you something quiet valuable upfront as well. The compromise is money "in site" or in arms reach. That's fair in my book.
You can't always have that control. It depends where you monger.
SW's and free lancers ALWAYS get paid after the deed is done.[/QUOTE]I agree that's fair.. If they want money up front I always say I'll leave it on the table. However from my experience, just the mention of money up front almost guarantees a bad session, but most of the time I'm too horny to say no and it ends up being a bad session like 70% of the time.
I was traveling in Colombia the past few weeks so decided to check out Santa Marta for the first time. Knowing this ahead of time, I read the forum and decided to just drop in to El Rodadero without reservation, get an apartment and go from there.
The plan worked fine as described by many in this thread although Spanish is a must for good pricing. I looked at 3 units in 3 buildings; the first was too dinghy but good price, the second too expensive with central air but not worth the snooty attitude of the woman showing me the unit nor the uncleanliness of the unit she showed me, including the fridge.
The third was in El Karey which was about right for my taste & budget. I rented half a 2 bedroom, 2 bath split level apartment with balcony view of the entire scene. Got it for COP 100k/day all in.
I didn't go anywhere the entire 6 days I was there. Shit, I didn't even get off my ass to go to Parque Tayrona which is little hard to explain later to your Colombian friends but somehow I managed and that trip will wait till next time.
Everything I needed was right there including street walkers at night.
They started showing around 10 pm. Maybe 10 or 15 total. A few doable. I did one my first night for 90 or 100K, I don't quite remember. Didn't do any other SW's.
One of the SW's was a good looking Tranny. Sucks!
The pix in this post are of the apartment. A few more to follow in subsequent posts.

Schwmm[/QUOTE] Santa Marta/Rodero a cool place everyone ought to experience. Nothing else in Colombia quite like the beach there at night. Didn't get to Tayrona myself until the second time there. Don't spare us details. Were you finding the girls all Magdalena-hued and native?
I don't take a lot of pictures although I like to. The problem for me is that the camera can be an interruption to a good time. So, I have a few pix from El Rodadero but they are by no means all inclusive.
I went to Flamingos one night, probably Thursday night. Very busy with maybeee,,, a couple of dozen women. I think I saw Clinton surrounded by an entourage but it was dark & smokey and from across the club so I'm not sure.
This Caleña is an example of what COP 150K can get you for take out at Flamingos in El Rodadero. I guess I should have taken more time to look around but I didn't feel like hanging out so I took her since she looked good enough and I had already chatted her up.
I got her down to 150K including barfine to be paid before leaving. The barfines I was quoted were form 50K to 70K. Her body bore no unpleasant surprises, her attitude and cooperativeness during sex were good but then she turned nasty before leaving because I wouldn't agree to any of her pitches for more money. The usual; taxi, hija, propina, etc, etc, etc. I didn't feel she deserved it. Later in the trip, another hooker told me that she was grosera (gross). To be continued.
Anyway, like I said, this is what 150K might get you for take out at Flamingos in El Rodadero.

One night I hired a taxi driver to take me to Santa Marta, show me around a bit, and then drop me at Bananas. It was large and dark and smokey and hoppin in there too. Most chicks were average but then this exquisite creature crossed my path and it was decided. Almost.
We we're having a drink at a table and I'm chatting her up and everything's cool so the obvious eventually comes up and she quotes COP 60K for 1/2 hr includes room and everything. Normally I don't do half hours and she must have sensed my hesitation because then she suggested "why don't you just try it for a half hour to see if I am pleasing to you and then if yes, we can meet some other afternoon".
Who the fuck could argue with that logic?
Even though she is a full time pro and despite the eye brow piercing I was smitten by this babe. Truth be told, I was stunned and that's why I concealed her identity a bit and quite frankly I don't give a shit about the cat calls from the peanut gallery. Plus I think she asked me not to post them.
She was supposed to come over on Monday afternoon but flaked out but I didn't get pissed and kept the dialog going with her and on Tuesday afternoon she showed. It was about 95 F/35C out. We partied, talked, listened to music, started with sharing some body lotion and then baby oil and then to the air conditioned bedroom for a nice time in the bedroom that included cuddling and more conversation in bed after sex. Then to the shower for a second round of sex after I gave her a complete body treatment with exfoliant (part of my bag of tricks that chicas always dig and appreciate).
No discussion of money beforehand. I gave her COP 90K (plus a small gift and the body treatment) and she took it with a smile and not one word for extra propina or taxi.
Her body was exquisite and she was sweet and nice and enthusiastic.
I'm still stunned.

It was the usual mix for Colombia. Mostly olovie skinned mestizo, some lighter skinned from Medellin or the Eje Cafetero, some black from Cali and other caribbean costal areas.

During the rest of the days in El Rodadero, besides being occupied with exercise and good eating, I was entertained by one pretty hot beach chica I ran into, and another chica was delivered to me one afternoon by one of the "Tourist Guides" (touts) that works the strip.
The beach chica was COP 80K ST and the prepago delivered to me was a "Universitaria". Studying criminology of all things. She said she comes from a family of cops and our conversation included gun owner type talk. A little chubby for my taste but nice taut olive skin all around and nice full firm tits that included everything and did. She was hot!
Interesting don't ya think? Where else might you find a piece of ass that digs shooting too? She was 100K plus 15K tip to the tout.
In summary: In case you haven't already figured it out, All good. Even with weak Spanish I'd recommend it. Just don't expect to get the good pricing.
That's all I have from there, Schwmm
Flying from Mde to Santa Marta with a girl for 3 or 4 days and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for an apartment or hotel. I want to be on the beach with a pool. Thanks in advance for any help.
I like Santorini - it's a bit more $ and not in Rodadero but alot nicer IMO plus you'd see the occasional colombian pop icon (we saw juanes when we were there)

Hello,
After I had a fantastic vacation in Cartagena a few years ago I need to come back to Colombia. This time I will skip Cartagena. Because I did not here to much good news from there. And like to visit SM / Redadero.
I did read the forum of the last 2 years and have not really figured out where its better to stay. SM or Redadero?
Most users here stay in Redadero and go out in SM. Why that. Isn't it better to stay in SM in a apartment as well?
If you pick up girls in SM do they come to Redadero with you or are they complaining that its to far and would not join?
I will come with a friend and basicly we just sleep long. Go to the beach. Have food. And go out.
Where its best do stay? We are heading for a apartment?
Concerning the scene is the other question.
I did read about SW on redadero beach. Los angeles bar
And the stripclubs in SM. What else is good?
Thanks

Haven't been yet, but it won't be long. I don't see any reports about getting them off the beach. You guys see them hanging out in the sun like in Brazil? Nothing hotter than brown skin in a bikini.

Does anyone have a good advice for a longer stay (apartment. Hotel). I will hopefully have time for 3, 5 weeks to stay there.
Do the regular apartment renters discout there prices for a period like that?
I am in Santa Marta now. The Banana Club is xactly behind the hotel I am stying in so very convenient. For those who wish to find it it is directly behind the Park Hotel. HOWEVER I would recomend not ven bothering.
I don't wish to diss anyone elses posts as things change but I am just saying it as I see it. I have never seen such a bunch of fat, unattractive and disinterested women in one bar before. It was absolute desperation stuff. The highest would of been a 3 in my opinion and the rest were pretty much ungradeable. To top it off they had the attitude of prima donnas.
BUT do not despair as I discovered a really excellent place as yet unmentoned and completely user friendly. It is on Calle 10. So basically walk to the far end of the beach to Calle 10 where the street walkers are (although I did not see any in that street). Walk up about 2 blocks (maybe 20 meters and on your left hand side you will see a club called "The Renobar". It has fairy lights and pumping music and a couple of doormen.
Go inside and it is like a normal bar with plastic chairs and tables and couple tvs playing fotball and a couple playing porn movies. There were about 15 girls in there. Some of them were not that great but there were two absolutely rock solid 9's in anyones book and 4 or 5 very solid 8's in anyones book. I took one of the 9's who was 39 kg and 19 years old. Great performance and oms on the premises. 80, 000 pesos all in and excelent, unhurried and friendly service. It was a great place and a great experience.
I would definitely recommend this place. No hassles and very user friendly. Pay upfront but felt super safe and totally comfortable.
Happy hunting
Well firstly let me say that El Rodadero is an infinitely nicer beach and nicer place to stay than Santa Marta. The beach at Santa Marta is filthy and hat the guidebooks don't say is that there is a huge shipping port at one end of the beach. Anways enough of the lonely planet stuff apart from one lat thing. These guys party ALL night on the beach and it is LOUD. Do NOT get a beach facing apartment. I am one block back and it is still very loud even from here.
Ok. Flamingos is quite a long way out of town so don't have any illusions of walking there. I cannot coment on the girls as it was 9pm whn I got there and there were no girls present and I was told it doesn't get girls until 10pm. So instead I asked the taxi driver if he knew any other places and he took me to a place called "Club Ibiza". This WAS open at 9. 15pm and was on the way back into town from Flamingo's. It is on a smal right hand turning just after the petrol station. I guess all the taxi drivers would know it.
There about 12 girls there and some were average but my lord I saw the HOTTEST girl I have ever seen in Columbia there period. She as 18 and absolutely stunning. A 10 if ever a 10 exists. Just perfect. They have rooms on the premises and she started out at 150, 000 for 1 pop. This was more cash than I had on me so I sat and had a beer and was about to go when she came over and lowered the price to 100, 000 : ). The service was good but my word what an amazing body and incredible looks (maybe 5 foot 10, 6 pack stomach, perfect as and orderline the cup natural tits and all on an 18 year old frame!).
As I was leaving I saw a black girl who was almost identical but black. She was damn near perfect too. I will go back for the black girl before I leave for sure. Just absolutely stunning. I have very high standards and very discerning taste which can be a hindrance sometimes, but honestly these two girls were absolute top drawer. Also in there was a slightly chuby girl also about 18 or 19 with some of the biggest natural tits I have ever seen. I mean we are talking F Cup or something like that. Looked firm too.
Didn't really see any SW action on the street yet,

Thanks for the report. Based on your info, I won't bother trying out SM on future trips. I'll just go back to El Rodadero.
A totally cool place if you're really into the Latin scene. As someone else once said in this thread, nothing beats the music and party scene on the beach there at night. Just hang out & eat some street food, have a few beers, talk to people. Maybe pay for a Vallenato set or two. I think I paid 60K per 1/2 hr set. Not sure though, it may have been less. It's kind of a foggy memory.
What kind of room deal did you find?
Jealous, Schwmm
Yeah El Rodadeo is a real party town. Rty that placei mentioned callled Club Ibiza, two of the girls were amazing.
I stayed at Betoma Hotel. Fantastic place. 1 block back from the beach (on Calle 8).75, 000 per night with seaview balcony and wifi. Great rooms and hot water too. Still really loud though with musicfrom trhe beach. Awesome beach scene though and seems noise inescapable anywhere in rodadero.
Was in Banana tonight at 10:30pm and it was a huge improvement over the previous visit 3 nights ago. But still nothing compared to Club Ibiza.
Google Betome hotel. It gets great reviews

Most bars or discos you are lucky to find any customers in them. It is actually a very quiet place accept for the beach at night. Beach scene? You must be taking some really good drugs, as there is very little action in the way of girls on the beach. What you will find is mostly families, or couples on vacation. If anyone takes the time to read back through other posts, you will also find others talking about how quiet the place is.
This shit pisses me off when I see false information being posted. If you want beach action or a party atmosphere go to Cartagena, or otherwise you are going to be very disappointed. There are only 4 working girl bars in all of Rodadero and Santa Marta. Those looking for an apartment instead of a hotel, all you have to do is stroll across the beachfront. It has several apartment buildings with many rentals available, or you will find people standing everywhere with signs for apartment rentals. Most of these rentals are in Condominio Santa Maria del Mar or in Edificio Karey, as these two apartment complexes are basically next to each other. You can normally get a one or two bedroom rental for fifty to sixty dollars a night, and these are oceanview / beachfront facing properties. The cost for Christmas / New Years, and Semana Santa week are more. Bowerboy, if yiou are going to post information, post accurate information, or do not post at all, or get the frick off the drugs that you are hallucinating on.

Everybody who goes to Rodero the first time is going to be struck by the Party Vibe at the beach. There may be a lot of Colombians on vacation, families, by its a fun party / night out. Maybe not a lot of girls working, but it only takes one.
[QUOTE=Naples Guy1; 1104653]That is true but we are on a monger forum, not a family goes to the beach forum, and the bars in Rodadero are basically dead at night. If anyone should know this it is me, since I am here approximately 3 months a year staying at all various times of the year. During the day there is also no real partying going on at the beach, as the party is at night, and it is approximately 90 percent families who are doing the partying.
Also in Bowerboys post he was referring to meeting girls, and his quote was "El Rodadeo is a real party town" That could not be farther from the truth. [/QUOTE]This forum has been around a lot longer than you and has always covered a broad range of topics related to the region in general.

I happen to think Mayorista is safe to walk around, other members disagree. Thats OK with me.
Naples oh thou who has 6 posts of absolute nothingness without a single scrap of information.
El Rodadero is a HUGE party town. The beach is absolutely pulsating with energy every night until 3 or 4 in the morning. It is a party involving masses of people. It is a general comment not related to whoring and was a response to a poster who has provide me with great information.

It's true that they play loud ass music at the beach all night, and there are a few people / families / enamorados there, but if you are expecting Zona Rosa in Bogota or La Sexta in Cali, or a big single and ready to mingle festival then you will be sadly disappointed. I would not recommend staying near the beach if you planned on going to sleep or wanted any peace and quiet before 3a.m.
My buddies and I are stopping in Santa Marta on the way to CTG. Anyone have suggestions of a high end place where we should stay that's near some chica action? At our ages, we realize that P4P is the way we will have to go, but we like to do it well. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Sometimes I feel like I'm done with Colombia (even though I really haven't scratched the surface) , tired of lies of Colombianas, the hustle for your money. I'm ready to go on an adventure somewhere else. Then one chica can change that around in a hurry, restoring your faith in Colombiana-dom. That happened to me the other day. The following is both a travelogue of Rodadera / SM / Taganga / Parque Tayrona and a chica-logue. Lengthy, so chopped up in several parts.
Travelogue.
Using Blackhawk69's document on Santa Marta as a guide, I spent 2 1/2 days in Rodadero, trying to do as much as I can without overdoing it, pacing myself. Took the Marisol bus from CTG for 40K, which dropped me off at the Marisol station in Rodadero, instead of my hotel, the Betoma on Calle 8 in Rodadero, but it was only a 3 block walk.
Checked into Hotel Betoma. It was immediately obvious that this isn't high season, as it seemed like I was only one of a very few customers in the 6 story hotel. As per Blackhawk69's suggestion, I got a room that didn't completely face the beach (to avoid the beach noise into the wee hours) , but faced Calle 8. The hotel is a bit old and worn around the edges, but for 50 bucks a night it was well worth the price. Even the staff is old, but actually that is a good thing, they're well seasoned service people, and all in all, they were excellent. They have a giant safe in the back of the lobby as the only safe box in the hotel, and you have to open your box with your key and their key, sorta like the basement of the Fed or a missile silo. Fresh water supplied to the room every day, saving the planet from more wasted plastic bottles. Magic jack telephone at the front desk to call the USA for free. Structurally Betoma is 3 stars, in service 4 stars.
Arriving in mid afternoon, quickly unpacked and headed to the beach. It was easy to note that Rodadero is very much a family vacation place, a west facing beach (great sunset!) , the usual sabanas / carpeterias to rent, but much less agressive vendors than CTG. Immediately in the mood to explore, I went to the righmost (northern) part of the beach, up and down a flight of stairs across an inlet, to get to the launcha area. This is where you can buy tix for a boat to get to the next beach, more isolated, called Playa Blanca. It is 40mil tique for 1-4 people, and because I was travelling solo, that was expensive. So 10 of us in the launcha put on our life jackets for a 5 minute ride to playa Blanca, which sits just around the bend from a rock-outcropping from Rodadero beach, very isolated. It is a south facing beach, so you better bring your sunscreen white boy! Thatched huts behind the sabanas to serve your every drink and food need. Again mostly Colombian couples / families. Got my first glimpse of relatively clear Carribean water (but nothing in comparison to Parque Tayrona beaches).
I stayed till the last launcha is supposed to return at 4:30, which in Colombian time, is actually 5 to 5:30. Don't know what happens if you miss it, but I can think of worse things than being stuck on a tropical beach overnight. The sand is not really white (blanca) , but very light brown and clean, very nice.
Aftering dousing myself in Aloe Vera lotion, I cleaned up and went to dinner at Donde Chuchos, about 3 blocks north of Hotel Betoma. Great place, great food, great service, two enthusiastic thumbs up, especially if you're in the mood for seafood.
Afterwards, I walked through the little markets, malecon and the beach area of Rodadero for a few hours. Circles of folks gathered on the beach to sing Vallenato and other forms of Latin music, with heavy drumming and accordians, of course, to the wee hours of the night. Since it was off season, it wasn't as loud or crazy as I thought it would be, but it's the kind of fun atmosphere that you rarely see in gringo-land. People wanting to dance all night on the beach and have a good time. No notice of SWs or any kind of similar activity in the beach area, except for a friendly wave from some giggly teenyboppers, which kind of weirded me out, actually. Discovered those little coffee vendors with 300 peso shot of sweet coffee dr*g for an instant perk-up.
Expected the worst when I went back to my hotel room, the noise was really nothing. The sound of a nearby disco was much worse than the beach, but a good pair of 34db earplugs took care of that. A relief, since I wanted a good rest for my first foray into Parque Tayrona the next day.
Getting up earlier than usual (but apparently not early enough) , had an American breakfast at restaurant Suize, on Carrera 2, half block north of Hotel Betoma. Hopped in a cab and settled for 15 mil pesos ride to the fishing village of Taganga, a lauching off point for excursions to the beaches of Parque Tayrona. Hooked up with Hector, a launcha middleman on a hill overlooking Taganga, and I purchased a launcha ride to Playa Grande for 25 mil pesos round trip.
It's a beautiful ride in the launcha boat, and you begin to get a glimpse of the rocky shore and outcropping of Parque Tayrona. The outcroppings are like fingers and the beaches reside between the fingers, big long fingers, with crystal clear Carribean water smacking into the rocks, unleashing the blue-torquoise color of the water. The whole background of Parque Tayrona are large mountains coming right down into the sea.
Playa Grande is a very nice beach, and if you go no further than that, you are certainly not being robbed. Big beach of about 300 yards. Many thatched restaurants behind the beach, lots of chairs for rent, shade provided by lotsa trees on the beach if you get too cooked by the sun (not hard to do). Just happened to be parked by a group of four bikini clad woman. 2 nice ones, two truck sized. I noticed even the serious pregnant wear bikinis in Colombia. Hector tells me the 2 nices ones are independent putas from Santa Marta. I filed that piece of info in short term memory as I had other immediate plans for the day.
This beach gives you the first glimpse of the clear Caribbean water. Because of the finger-cove effect, the water is shallow for a stretch with no undertow (NOT true on some of the other beaches, caveat emptor). I walked up to my neck in the water, and could see the bottom perfectly clear. Watched white Angel fish swim around my legs, very cool!
Had lunch in one of the restaurants. Hector comes out with a lunch tray with 3 dead fish on it, just caught that day, Morrita (tilapia) , Pargo (red snapper) and a 3rd, can't remember the name, but it was cool to pick out from the daily catch of that day. I went with the Pargo, with papas fritas, coco-rice and salad, with guayanaba juice sin leche (with leche is much better, but I'm avoiding milk). Washed the grease off in the salt water.
But I was itching to explore some more. However, Hector and some of the others tell me that it would be impossible to get to the eastern end of the Parque at this time, which was a bummer to me. Shoulda got there earlier (note: the first launchas launch 8 or 9AM). Undaunted, and knowing that money talks, I rented an entire launcha myself to go as far eastward as possible to hit the beach (es).
But no one warned me what was to come. As you go more eastward in the park, and you get beyond the tip of the fingers, this is open sea, and the current flows from east to west, which means my little launcha of me and my driver were heading into some really tough waves. The scenery was spectacular but the boat, with only two folks in it, was very light. Over and over, I or the boat took some serious air, landing on my butt. It was about 90% exciting. 10% scarey. I started singing to myself 'a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour. The tiny ship was tossed. '. I was also hoping not to get tossed into the drink, nor my camera. When you're in a wave trough and you see that you're going to smash the next crest, higher than the boat, it is anything but boring. The main point is that if there are any breezes in the Caribbean Sea that day, it is daunting task to go eastward, though you may have more success in a fully loaded launcha boat of people. Took about 45 minutes to get there, and made me love the land under my feet that much more!
Finally, we got past the open sea into more baylike conditions, heading to Playa Concha. I could see the mountains around the beach went from arid to a more lush, jungle-like condition. When we landed, it was awesome. A 400 yard beach with about 20 tourists on it. Had a whole section to myself. Being on an nearly isolated beach was a goal of mine, and I finally got there. The water on the beach was just as clear as Playa Grande, but it fell off into much deeper water very quickly. Settled down and fell asleep in the sun, burning various parts of my body where I forgot to put sunscreen. Made friends with a beach cat. My driver Jose and I agreed that we'd go back to Playa Grande in the late afternoon. He re-iterated the fact with the nature of the sea breezes that day, it was not a good idea to go any further east.
The trip back was not nearly as troublesome, going with the current, and had more time to enjoy the scenery and take some movies, though the waves were just a big as previously. We went right through a school of flying fish twice, very cool. Jose, my driver, took me all the way back to Taganga.
Taganga is part fishing village, part young-people-wannebe-hippie-with-daddy's-money hangout. Saw the boats come in with loads of Bonito and Pargo. Someone caught a 6 foot shark also. Hung around, went to a coffee shop run by a Swedish guy, and enjoyed the hippie-fishing village vibe till I got a cab back to Rodadero. Not 100% of my goal, as I was hoping to get to Playa Cristal, but way more than satisfied. I really was thrilled by the whole day's experience. I'd come back here in a heartbeat.
I was pretty tired that day with all the sun and excitement, but knowing it was my last night in the area, I had to fulfill my chica curiosity. First thing that I did was to take a cab to Santa Marta to see what was going on. It's clear that it is a much bigger city than Rodadero, and frankly seemed quite dirty, lots of unpicked litter on practically every street. I got dropped off at the malecon, and walked around for awhile, but it was so quiet and dead that yellow flags were sounding off (there's no question I'm a gringo solo) and I hopped in cab. I asked him if he knew of the clubs in SM, but he wasn't very good, so I asked him just to drop me off in Rodadero.
Hopped in another cab and asked for a club tour, renting the driver for an hour. We first went to Ibiza, south of Rodadero, off a dirt road next to a gas station. Already a bit tired, I walked in and was just not feeling it. It's a big room with a large swimming pool in the middle of the place, about 10 chicas, really dark, music not too loud, but something was off (maybe me, not sure). Had 10K beer and split after 10 minutes. No cover charge, and the manager was very friendly, got to give him that.
So the next stop was Flamingos. Again, big room, kind of empty, down energy, music a bit louder, but the quantity and quality of chicas was better. However, I've seen better on a good night at LDV. No cover charge either. Had a 13K beer, and noticed the waiters were much more aggressive here. One guy says, 'hey come look at the chicas in their dressing room in better light'. Chicks in locker rooms seems to have an appeal (duh!) , so I headed to the back room to see the chicas close up. About 6 were milling about, getting dolled up, I was introduced to them, but nothing rang my bell. The rest of the chicas from the front room poured into the back area (gringo alert! Whoop!) , and they same gnawing feeling that I shoulda gone to bed kept staying with me. Until I saw one chica on the other side of the locker room. It's hard to explain, but as soon as I saw her, I was locked and loaded, if you know what I mean. I couldn't believe the turnabout in my own body-mind. The waiter also noticed my change, shoo'ed the rest of the chicas away, and I sat down for a chat with Angela (not her real name). She was by far the oldest chica in the place 34, but she was both pretty and sexy, with those fat latina lips. Also a spinner in great shape with a perfect *ss. She had a very laid back demeanor, and it was also clear that she had a sense of caring in her eyes, and sure enough she was a mom of 2. My own choices for women / chicas is something very intuitive, you look for a certain style and a certain chemistry. She had both. A simple chat with her turned me on. By just being herself. She wasn't "trying" to be extra-sweet or interested in what I had to say, that went a long way, something very real about her. I knew I was going to pay dearly for this as Flamingos is not cheap at all. 70K bar fine, plus 200K for the chica (but NOT for a half hour, an open ended rato, it's all up to the individual chica). Lower brain encendido, upper brain, apagado. However, I don't travel much anymore, so the high-end is not a problem. Price-nazis, a pre-emptive f*ck you.
I was not even sure if Hotel Betoma was chica friendly, and when Angie and I arrived, the night guy, all 65+ years of age, was a bit grumpy about it. He told me it was 30K extra for a guest (which NEVER materialized on my bill, so I can say with certainty that in a non-peak season, March, Betoma is chica-friendly).
She was from a small town near Cali, not far from where the most famous Cathedral of Colombia is located. She just started in the business for a month, having broken up with a boyfriend and money source. This is a good thing, old enough to know a thing or two about men, new enough in the business to not be a jaded ice-queen. She told me that I was her first gringo, and I tended to believe her. The sex was very good, simply because of good chemistry between us. We ended up talking for 2 hours afterward, and since we were both almost falling asleep, she asked to stay over. I'm always of two minds about that, knowing that the best sleep is when you sleep alone. But I liked her a lot, she was so easy to be with, no drama at all, and frankly my bed is probably a whole lot nicer than the quarters she has at the upstairs of Flamingos. Again, no noise at all from the beach, and Angie was old enough not to be a bed hog, taking up 3/4 of the bed, stealing the sheets, like many of the younger ones do.
We had breakfast together, and I liked her so much that I had the idea of staying in Rodadero another day with her. I went back and forth on this as we ate breakfast. But I decided to stick with my plans on leaving, but I still had a few hours to kill before the Marisol bus came to pick me up. So I said, let's go back to my hotel, after I did another ATM withdrawal. She figured out very quickly what I meant, and I had one the the best times of my life in la cama with her. One of those Wow! Experiences. Since I'm way past andropause, my leche factories are in semi-retirement mode, so after a few days in CTG, I've got nothing more to give. So 'I love her long time' and she was willing and mojada at the end as much as the beginning. The lack of drama and attitude, and mellowness just blew my mind, even during and after the lengthy, sweaty workout we had. I'm proud that I doubled her longest time making el amor and I think I gave her a good first impression of gringo-dom.
I paid her again for her troubles, with a well deserved bonus. She had such a good attitude the whole night and morning; she actually and sincerely thanked me for everything. Got her some serious dough and got her out of the club environment for a night. Even though I can't keep her, she's a keeper, IMO and I hope she makes the dough she needs for her family and gets treated well in the future. Now, I'm putting my sore legs and back and little guy (overshare!) to sleep. My faith in Colombiana-dom is restored.

I have recieved PM's complaining about my spelling.
Problem was I wrote this while my Novia was in the shower, and of course she came right out and tried to see what I was writing so I hit the add report button without first checking my work a second time.
Speaking of showers when in a hot place like BAQ or CTG it is sometimes hard to find a reasonable priced apartment with hot water. A little trick I use is heat up a big pan of water. I only use this to wash my hair as I can stand the cold water on the rest of my body.
Happy camping boys.
Hi Guys, I went back 3 or 4 pages and do not want to go digging.
Anybody know of a good apt rental in Santa Marta? One Bed, Clean, Nice, Safe, I'd like to sort out my arrangements before I get there. $50-$70 a night.
Thanks and please PM me if you have a contact or web site that is trust worthy
Thanks to all the board members who have reached out to me and provided me a wealth of info! I will not drop names as to protect your inboxes form a flood of requests.
Thanks and I'm sure I'll have a good time!
Gentlemen,
I'm planning a trip to Santa Marta / Rodadero in July. I'm guessing because this is a beach town I can wear shorts during the day, unlike MDE. Is this correct? Thanks.

When you say El Centro, are you referring to Parque de Los Novios, which If I'm understanding correctly is the club district. Or are you referring to the area where Banannas is, which if I'm understanding correctly is in the "working class" area of Santa Marta. Thanks!
I were you, I would pass through Barranquilla and head straight for Santa Marta (about 2 hours from B'quilla). Santa Marta has beautiful beaches, the Rodadero resort area, an active night life and two nearby national parks (Tayrona and Sierra Nevada). You can find limited p4p along the malecon and in some of the clubs and bars. In these same venues, you can meet some nice local and vacationing non-pros as well.
This is a review on Renobar, which is the only P4P establishment I found in my few days in Santa Marta. Admittedly I didn't venture too far from my hotel. It is right near the main beach in the area with lots of tourist hotels. It is on Calle 10, near the corner with Carrera 3 (use google maps for reference). Only five minutes walk from the main beach area. It's definitely worth a visit.
It has plenty of girls ranging from ones you wouldn't touch to ones that are damn gorgeous. The music is incredibly loud, so if your spanish isn't great it will be frustrating, but you'll get by. There are very occasional strip shows and at random times a girl will come out and give a table of guys a show. The girls won't approach you, you need to approach them, or wave them down as they walk past. This is easier if you stand or sit near the bar, where they will walk to and fro from the bathrooms and to get themselves drinks.
Beers cost 6, 000 pesos and drinks for the girls (not always asked for) cost the same.
One thing to consider is that the guys looking after the place (at the door, bringing drinks, serving at the bar) are not your friends. The guy behind the bar will only give you half your change when you buy a beer. You'll need to ask another couple of times until you get it all back. What an asshole! It may be the difference of a dollar or two but don't stand for that shit! Plus as I left the second night the door guys asked for some money. WTF? I gave them a cold look and walked off. I wouldn't say the area is dangerous (there are plenty of police around) but you will get hassled for change by some of the locals.
I went two nights. The first girl was 80, 000 pesos. She said an hour but after half an hour there was a knock at the door. However, she let me finish, which was good. The second girl was 100, 000 pesos and a gorgeous, tiny 19yo. This place, is a when you cum your done for reference. I always pick the girls that smile at you and both times they were very sweet and nice. So make sure you tip them well. One of the girls I had even gave me her email and phone number, just to keep in touch.
They all live in bunk bed rooms at the back of the bar, so for their day off, they often stay in hotels. Therefore, although I've never tried, you might be able to pay for them for their night off, if you offer a nice hotel room and a relaxing time. I've never tried so I'm not sure, but it can't hurt to ask if you are interested.

Let me tell why I went to Santa Marta last year and my objective observation. First of all I am a beach guy. The first city I had ever been to on the coast was Barranquilla in March 2007. That place absolutely sucked and had some of the worst beaches I have seen in the world.
Some Colombians that I know would always say that Cartagena has the best beaches while others would always say that Santa Marta had the best beaches. Well eventually I went to Cartagena. The beach looked just like Barranquilla to me except a lot cleaner and you could actually get into the water. I still was not impressed, because both beaches are actually dirt instead of sand.
My next coastal destination was Santa Marta. Would it be paradise as I was told? Nope. Not even close. I stayed in El Rodadero, I did some diving out of Taganga, and I did some P4P hunting in Santa Marta proper. As Black Hawk (who was the one that told me in which hotel to stay in El Rodadero) said the water in Santa Marta proper does have a lot of trash and dead fish on the other side of the malecon. As for Gringo's take that El Rodadero is a resort area with an active nightlife. I'm not trying to flame but maybe he does not get out much because it is actually just a regular neighborhood that happens to have a beach on one side. As for all the Colombians who told me that Santa Marta and Cartagena had good beaches, maybe they have had nothing else to compare to. I mean your favorite food can't be prime rib if all you have ever eaten is hamburgers and bologna sandwiches. The last place in Colombia that I will try in search of a good beach will be San Andreas. I know being an island it is more expensive than the other places, on the other hand because it is an island it should have better beaches.
Here are pictures from Barranquilla, Taganga, and Santa Marta. I can't find my El Rodadero pictures
[QUOTE=Dalapeno; 1149205]This is a review on Renobar, which is the only P4P establishment I found in my few days in Santa Marta. Admittedly I didn't venture too far from my hotel. It is right near the main beach in the area with lots of tourist hotels. It is on Calle 10, near the corner with Carrera 3 (use google maps for reference). Only five minutes walk from the main beach area. It's definitely worth a visit.
It has plenty of girls ranging from ones you wouldn't touch to ones that are damn gorgeous. The music is incredibly loud, so if your spanish isn't great it will be frustrating, but you'll get by.
I went two nights. The first girl was 80, 000 pesos. She said an hour but after half an hour there was a knock at the door. However, she let me finish, which was good. The second girl was 100, 000 pesos and a gorgeous, tiny 19yo. This place, is a when you cum your done for reference. [/QUOTE]When I went to Santa Marta I was armed with a list but I became very frustrated walking around for over an hour and not finding the venues. Whether they were closed down or it was too early (6pm) I don't know. So I ended up on the malecon looking for chicks. I didn't see anyone who looked like they were working. So I went up to a local who was by himself and asked him where all the girls were. His name was Jose Thomas and he appeared to be about 28 years old. He said that the girls are usually on the malecon but it was too early. I asked him to take me around to some venues if he knew any. The first place he took me was across the street to El Velero del Amor. The girls there were pretty young. When I was quoted 80K for 1 pop I turned around and walked out. I asked him if he knew of any cheaper places.
Then he took me to Renobar which was on Calle 10 with Cra 3. Although the door was opened the bar was not going to open until 8pm. I asked the owner how much the girls went for and he said that I would have to talk to them because each one makes their own price.
Next my guide led me to an intersection that had a couple of bars and told me that the girls in the bars (and hanging in front of them) were available. It was Calle 10 with Cra 4 next to Residencia Merida. Again there were not many because it was early. But we did go back by later and I banged a chick for 30K, which included 10K for the upstairs room in the hotel next door. Jose took me around for about 2 hours and when he couldn't find places he would ask someone else.
When I was done with him I gave him 10K pesos. He did not have a cell phone so he gave me his sister's phone number instead. I had intended to pass it along on the board but I didn't end up writing a report back then. Again as Dalapeno said, Spanish is pretty much a must.
P.S. Another thing that I wrote in my notes is Rest paisita pues hotel. I don't remember what it is or why I wrote it seeing that one year has already passed.
[QUOTE=Floyd Dylan; 858244]To continue the saga of Diana and the others. (the rest of the story is thankfully less dramatic than part 1.)
I laid low for several days, not even venturing over to those couple of blocks by the club. Which felt weird, since I had started making friends with some of the girls, the bouncer, and besides, my favorite cafe is nearby (Merkabar / Welcome restaurant, on Calle 10 between Carr 2 & 3 I think. Great cheap food and juices. Good gringo breakfasts. Their seafood stew is famous, and rightfully so. Gilberto, one of the co-owners, speaks English and is very helpful for advice). But you can understand why I wanted to stay away from anywhere I might run into crazy Diana.
Towards the end of the week I wandered into Hotel Miramar (a few doors down from Welcome restaurant) since they organize trips to Parque Tayrona and Ciudad Perdida. Who should be sitting there having lunch but Yuranis, the girl who had been hitting on me earlier in the week. Yuranis is not as hot as Diana, but she's also not crazy. She's a sweet girl, mellow, with enormous jugs and cute braces, but unfortunately also one of those beer bellies that so many Latin American women sport. We get to talking (flirting) , and who should walk in 10 minutes later but Diana herself. Uh-oh.
I thought it was weird that they both should be in this primarly gringo backpacker's hangout. Turns out that Diana's new "boyfriend" is staying there. The poor guy looked clueless. I wished I could have pulled him aside to warn him to get out while he still could.
At first Diana and I both pretended not to see each other, then finally she came over and asked in a sickly sweet sarcastic voice "como estas?" That seemed to be it (relief). But it was not to be. After moping around the place for a bit (she and new bf seemed to be in some kind of argument) , she tells me in no uncertain terms that she doesn't like the idea of Yuranis and I hooking up. Where the hell does she get off telling us that? But Yuranis is just as scared of her wrath as I am (LOL) , so I discreetly slip her the card of my hotel and tell her to meet me there in an hour.
5 minutes later Diana starts talking loudly some shit that I couldn't really understand, basically embarrasing herself in front of the rest of the patrons. I get up to pay the bill and get out of there, and the manager quietly asks me what is going on (in a half quizzical, half amused way). Is she my girlfriend? (which I guess would explain her odd behavior). Diana overhears this and practically shouts "EX-girlfriend!" (You'll remember from part 1 that we were together for all of TWO NIGHTS).
It's times like these I wish my Spanish were good enough to eloquently rip her a new asshole in front of everyone. Alas, all I can do is gracefully bid adieu to her and the rest of the patrons we'd disturbed.
So Yuranis meets me at my hotel and at first she's acting coy, not letting me get at her magnificent boobs, etc. Eventually she relents, since she clearly wants it as much as I do. She's a good deep french kisser. Not so into cock sucking, despite my DATY for a long time. Darn.
I'm thinking we're probably just going to stay in, since it's already early evening. But she wants to go out, and furthermore, wants coke. Normally I don't go out of my way to seek that stuff out, but when in Rome. So she runs out for an errand and comes back with unbelievably cheap (and good) stuff (which I paid for, since I was pretty sure I wasn't paying for the sex. Might as well be a gentleman and pick up the bar tab, as it were).
After getting our buzz on we go out, even though it's a Sunday. Not much open. We find one club / bar (almost totally empty) and hang out for a bit. She tells me she'll be right back. Comes back 15 minutes later with the preggo girl I met on my first night. Strange, since they seemed to be competitors. (Preggo told me she isn't working now since she's pregnant, but I have my doubts. Thinking about the tabooness of fucking a beautiful pregnant woman is enough to start heart palpitations, no?) I don't know why Yuranis wanted her there, but I liked this girl. Very pretty face, and a smart-alec personality that is fun. We close this bar and they lead the way back over to C 10, to an "after-hours" place that's very hole-in-the-wall, rather scummy, very local. It might have felt dangerous if I weren't with them. Very crowded, everyone drunk and acting crazy. Loud music, smoking, unrestrained dancing, occassional bottles smashing. That kind of place. There was a stripper pole and occassionally some girl would use it, but it didn't really seem like a strip club. Another girl friend of theirs I had met earlier in the week joined us, and we polished off a bottle of rum.
Eventually we made it out of there and Yuranis and I go back to my hotel, whereupon we proceed to have hot sex culminating in a fabulous tittie fuck. Now here's the interesting thing. She also wants to have sex sans condom. You would think they were trying to get me to knock them up so that I would be tied to them, but Diana really doesn't want kids (I believe her. I think she realizes she would make a terrible mom, and doesn't like kids anyway) , and Yuranis told me she was close to her period, so there was no chance of pregnancy. So why do they want dangerous sex? Because then it feels more like boyfriend sex as opposed to client sex? Yet again, I let the little head do the thinking. I really need to have my big head checked before this happens again. What really freaked me out was in the morning when we were doing it again, I pulled out to find blood on my dick. Oops, guess she started her period.
As luck would have it (since I didn't particularly want to spend a week only with this girl, and she was getting pretty clingy) , she was due to go back home to some other city several hours away the next day. Yes!"I'll miss you, mi amore, wait for me, don't look at any other girls, blah blah." Uh, sure. My phone registered 26 missed calls from her that day and 16 the next. Just calling to make sure I wasn't looking at anyone else? That's a bit excessive, if you ask me.
Again exhausted, I laid low for a few days. Besides also not wanting to be a real jerk and hit on any of her friends or co-workers. The weekend came (last night) and I met some cool guys in Crab's Bar, a great rock and' roll bar on Calle 18 btwn Car 3 & 4. We ended up at Bananas strip club, which is not on Calle 10 as earlier reports stated, but is actually on Carr 2 (1 block up from the beach) btwn Calle 18 & 19. The girls range in attractiveness from 5. 8, I would say. No real stunners, and hardly any 8's. But a really sweet young thing named Erika started chatting with me (speaking English, which I'm always a sucker for) and I loved her personality even if her body left a bit to be desired.
Sometimes that will tip the scales for me. If a girl has spark, a pretty smile, nice eyes, laughs a lot, and is genuine, I'll usually take that over a smoking body who is vapid upstairs or worse, apathetic. Bananas closes at 3am (on Fridays, not sure about the rest of the week) , and the staff was handing out fliers to an "after-hours" strip club owned by the same people called Club Ibiza (Calle 25, No. 3d-45, Playa Salguero, Antiguo Angeles. I have no idea where that is, but they told me it's far. A decent cab ride away. I also heard it's expensive, but I din't get specifics. The flier shows a private pool (!)
We decided forgo the other club and instead grab our girls and head back to the fancy apartments that my new friends were staying in close to the airport. Hotel Irotoma, torre belo horizonte. Wow was it nice. Huge, modern apartments with all the latest appliances, huge tubs, private beach, and. 800, 000 / night. Ouch! We partied there for a bit before the guys took their girls into their bedrooms. I had a nice time chatting with Erika (she's only been in town two days. Hopes to only be here for a week, just to make a bit of money before going home). I really wanted to take her back to my hotel, but I was balking at the 150k price she wanted. Eventually 7am rolls around, we're still flirting, and the other two girls appear, wanting to head back to the city. Why is it that prepagos always want to skedaddle so early in the morning? I know time is money, but wouldn't they rather sleep in after all the late-night partying? It was clear that Erika really wanted to come to my place as well (all those hours of teasing had left her as horny as I was) , but she had to make money, and didn't want to give it away for free. So we settled on 60k.
It's always crazy strolling into your hotel with a hooker as the morning shift is starting. The sex was nice, she's passionate in bed, but again, was not into giving head, despite me getting her off by mouth. We did it once, fell asleep for a couple of hours, did it again, then she had to go. I'm exhausted.
So here I am on Saturday afternoon trying to decide what to do tonight. Whether I have the energy to hit the clubs and try to pick up a real girl, since I'd like to avoid the prepagos. They're great because it's a sure thing, but besides not wanting to spend the money, they probably have a higher chance of harboring diseases (particularly if you're an idiot and fuck them without a condom).
I would suggest that the author or another Forum Member consider posting a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please.

For more information. Hey anyone know if floyd still posts on here? I know the posts are pretty old. I'm new to the forum. I wanted to know more about that Yuranis chic. I swear I boned the same chic awhile back LOL. How many anemic women with braces named Yuranis can there be? Anyways thought it was worth a try.
Does Floyd still post on here? Anyone know? I'm a new member have lurking for awhile. I was wondering about the Yuranis floyd mentioned I'm pretty sure I boned the same chic LOL. How many anemic woman named yuranis with braces and who acts coy you think there are in Colombia? Anyways I got some stories from my visits to Colombia I may post on here soon. Just wanted to pop my ISG cherry and was curious if it was the same Yuranis. Ciao!
There are at least 8 P4P spots there, I went to that many and figure there may have been some I missed. Some are decent, all are a bit overpriced, around 150K pesos for not even an hour generally. Renobar is less expensive, I think that is your best bet but be prepared for a scene. Blaring music, all local clientele really, lots of very drunk patrons, no language other than Spanish and kind of a buck and grab atmosphere. Spot a girl yyou like, pay your 70K pesos (or whatever they charge now) , try her on for size and if you like her, invite her to hang out during the day. The girls I took out of there didn't even ask for money, I paid their cab and for their lunch, about half the time I tipped them if I had a great time. YMMV but I bet anyone can get a good bargain that way.
Bananas and Flamingos were both decent for the pricier ones, forgettable experiences though.
Overall there are only two reasons to go to Santa Marta: Tayrona and the backpacker scene. If you're into the latter, there are a lot of ex pats and people, um, skiing on the local "slopes," if you go to the former, you will not be disappointed. Many people think the beaches are a bust, that is because they were lazy, if you explore you will find some stunning ones, they are not located in el centro or el rodadero though.
I have had a great time there but I have generally taken girlfriends after spending a week there scoping out the mongering scene. It's not so bad though and there is street action if you like that. Some OK girls near the beaches, overall I thought the ones on the actual calles were repulsive though. Freebie scene is OK, university there with some gorgeous girls but they like a tall, young, blond gringo they can show off to their friends. I made some good friends there but generally brought up a Paisa lady friend for the actual bonin and groanin.
Hi Guys,
Can anyone suggest a girl friendly hotel in Santa Marta that isn't going to break the bank! Prefer downtown rather than out in the resort area. Only a couple of nights on the way to and from Tayrona.
Appreciate the info on the board about Santa Marta options.
Cheers,
B
[QUOTE=Doc Bill; 921359]I don't have a photo but do a search on Hotel Sierra. It's right literally on the boardwalk / beach, has good rooms, quiet, clean, and well.priced. I didn't like their no-chica policy but that isn't an issue for you.
They'll also arrange tours & stuff for you if you want. Reasonable and reliable.[/QUOTE]Hi
Aprendi poco español, you remember me in santa marta.
3 años in 2009. I am in nicaragua now
First post from a newbie so initially a big thanks to all the regular Columbia forum members for all the helpful information on here.
At Renobar (corner of Calle 10 and Carrera 3) on Friday around 10. 30/11pm. As per previous posts it is a very much a local bar. In a sketchy but not unsafe area, loud music, (bad) porn on the TVs. Drinks not expensive for this kind of bar (think beers were about COP 5, 000). A reasonable number of girls (around 8-10). Not great quality but you should be able to find a few that you like. One of the waiters approached me on my second drink and I asked him to bring one over that I was interested in. She was a 23 year old Paisa (Mariana) , fair skinned, nice looking and good body. My limited Spanish did not need a long conversation so we went into the rooms in the back of the premises after 15 mins or so. Still 70, 000 COP for ST. Nice girl but average session. No DFK (little better at the end) , poor and brief CBJ but sex after ok. I was leaving the next day but she gave me her number as she will be back in Medellin this week when I am also there.
(During my first drink a group of 5 or 6 cops came in and searched a few specific people and generally looked tough with their guns. I thought they would leave quickly but they spent about 20 mins in there covering most of the venue. In the end they left but a little uncomfortable whilst they were there. Maybe this is a common occurrence?)
Also lots of streetwalkers in the area (Carrera 2 between Calles 10 and 13 and also on the seafront). Most I saw looked dreadful but maybe more detailed search would unearth some nuggets.
[QUOTE=Black Hawk69;1149584]The Santa Marta and El Rodadero area is probably the filthiest area in all of Colombia. The girls are all fat and ugly like Rudy stated, and many do not even have teeth. Must be something in the water. Speaking of the water, this area of Colombia also has the dirtiest water around, and the beaches are litered with trash, dead fish, and all kinds of bugs. I advise everyone to save there money, and go to places like Medellin or Cali. Stay the hell out of this garbage pit called Santa Marta and El Rodadero. This area is also much more expensive than say Medellin or Cali. I might add that it is also not very safe. I heard the other day that kidnappings of westerners, and robberies are really on the up in this area. Also, there might be a heavy police presence, but the police are known for shaking down westerners, and it also has been reported that several westerners have came up missing. I am not sure why anyone would want to visit this area when Medellin is much nicer and has eternal spring, and if you elect to go to Santa Marta or El Rodadero you are putting your life in danger.[/QUOTE]Yes I totally agree, even better to just go stay at the Hotel Del Rey in San Jose. You can never be too safe.
[quote=ricardo torres; 1463687]i will be in barranquilla on wednesday and thursday, santa marta on friday and saturday, and was curious if anyone had any information on the bars / clubs for the girls. nothing has been posted for quite some time, so hopefully someone can share some info.
much appreciated.[/quote]the beaches in santa marta are dirty as fuck! it shows a lack of responsibility, a lack of personal accountability, and a lack of awareness for what you have. in int the state people know better than to litter like ass holes on the beaches. i mean like baby [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url] kicking around! gross!
you can take a short boat ride to a better beach and it's a hike to tyrona. no clue about chicks in that area.
Will be in Santa Marta in November and am looking for a girl friendly hotel somewhere in El Centro that doesn't cost more than 100,000 Pesos a night. Air conditioning, security box, andWiFi preferred. Somewhere between Calle 10 and Calle 20 within a few blocks of the Malecon.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

None are anything to write home about. They are also asking for 150 to 250K, which is rediculous. This is it. If you are going to continue to stay in this area, your best bet might be to get on Colombian Cupido or one of those similar sites for Santa Marta and Barranquilla, and see what you can find, as you will be much better off than what you are going to find walking around.
Good luck!

So last night (Thurs) the plan was to drive by Renobar again and if closed I would go to the regular bars in El Rodadero. As luck would have it, the lights were on at Flamingos and Dubai when I passed by. Renobar was open! About 15-20 chicas. Some doable. I got a half bottle of guaro for 50k and chatted up with this chick with a pretty face but a bit of a gut. She confirmed Policia closed everything Tuesday and they just reopened. I asked her how much and she said 80k. I told her I heard it was 70k (from reports here). She says ok. We go back to her room (she seems to sleep there too!) CBJ. No kissing. Bleh session. Next I decided to check out Dubia since the Taxista said it was better than Flamingos. About 15-20 girls there. Some nice real flacitas there! Got a beer for 10k. Then a half bottle to break the ice (chicas alwas come over for shots). I was talking to a chunky one which wouldn't leave me alone. The girl I really wanted. Slim tight body with silicona was talking to some Colombian guy. Finally he leaves and didn't take her! I call her over and she won't drink guaro. She wanted a Michilada. 15k. We talk a bit and she is from Medellin! She wanted 150k. I told her I thought it was 110k. We settled on 130k for BBBJ as well. She had a great body and was a great session although I couldn't cum again. I left happy!
What's the point of courting a hooker by buying alcohol for her or sharing it with her (especially in a hoarhouse)? By definition a hooker is a girl who fucks for money. After all is said and done she is there for money and you have to pay her anyway. I just don't understand the point of the "extra mile." I go in, point, and say let's go fuck.
[QUOTE=Ricardo Torres;1480107]To each there own, but many, including myself, enjoy the socializing part of it as well. It is not just about the sex, it is about having a good time.[/QUOTE]Exactly! If I just want sex, I'll go to a casa. Sometimes, I'll go just to socialize and get their number for another day. The sex is so much hotter if there is a connection.
Many of you old timers probably remember the Tibiri Tabara. That used to be the place to go to for ho's. Anyway for a long time the neighborhood went south due to the high incidence of robberies etc. Well, Colombia's finest has moved in across the street. So it is now safe to once again hang out on that strip and check out all the working girl mongering places that you desire. Never mind being on a street with the coppers. They don't bother the mongers at all. I will post more details of names of clubs, prices, etc.
So my friend HAD to go this week. I didn't realize it was the Superbowl when I booked the trip. Anyone know if there are any Superbowl parties in Santa Marta? Or at least a bar that is showing the game?
There are three American guys who own a number of businesses in the Centro of Santa Marta. They will 1000% be having a Super Bowl party, they have one every year. This will likely be a younger crowd as it's at a hostel, lots of 20 something and 30 something backpackers. The owners themselves are in their mid 30s. There is a small pool, a bar with loads of booze, an adjacent Mexican restaurant, a beach just a few meters away, etc. The name of the place is La Brisa Loca. It is in Plaza San Francisco over by the big church, calle 14 av 3 if I remember correctly but you had better make sure. Right by the church, near Parque de los Novios. Just ask for the gringo brothers, two are brothers, then the other guy is the chef.

Does anyone know about the current situation in Santa Marta, is there still everything closed? No action going on?

[QUOTE=Shizzle78; 1539558]Does anyone know about the current situation in Santa Marta, is there still everything closed? No action going on?
Cheers[/QUOTE]What do you mean still closed? As of when?
Stay away from Taganga unless you need a break from too much mongering. I spent a few days over there last December. There is a lot of action going on but it is mainly European and US women hooking up with younger Colombian guys. A kind of reverse mongering, one could say. No local female talent available, as far as I could see. Apart from that, Taganga is a very nice seaside village, just a few km north of Santa Marta. The setting is really beautiful and the Tayrona Parque is nearby. However, to meet working girls, it is better to stay in El Rodadero, just south of Santa Marta.
Heading to Santa Marta in July. Staying in El Rodadero. Anybody have any recommendations for clubs, casas, etc? Anything new is much appreciated.
Santa Marta is a good town. A lot of nice restaurants. It is a port city, so people tend to like El Rodadero, the section just south of town along the beach (if you look at the map, you will see it on the southern side of a rounded cove.) I think this beach is nicer than Cartagena's, especially the farther south you get from the center of El Rodadero.
There is cheap diving in Taganga. COP120,000 for two dives, all equipment included. Taganga, 10 minutes by cab to the north and east of Santa Marta also has good restaurants, but the beaches are way too crowded for my tastes. Further east of Taganga is Tayrona Park with its really beautiful, unspoiled beaches. It takes about an hour by car or bus and then a 45 minute - 1:15 minute walk to get to the beaches were you can swim. Lot's of people die in the high riptide area, so don't opt for a shorter walk and taking your chances.
Also, I heard the 30 minute boat ride from Taganga direct to the swimmable Tayrona Beach that will save you a lot of time, but it can be quite wet and rough. One person who took the ride said it was miserable.
There are some casas in Santa Marta, but I can't speak to El Rodadero or Taganga. Was with a GF in those places. The scene is much better in Cartagena for that.
All in all, I like the Santa Marta area.
I am there in two days. Anything new? Seems to me everything pretty dead.
Arrived today from MDE and checked into a nice hotel that does not allow guests after 9 pm.
However, after reading the forum, I made a mental note of a few places mentioned in prior reports. One mentioned a place called Bananas, which turns out to be in front of my hotel about twenty paces away. When I walked by on my return to my hotel from dinner, it was jammed with about 30 girls at 8:30 pm. Basically, anything to your taste -- paisas, costenas, gorditas, negras, and morenas. I even met one girl from isla de San Andreas. Various ages, sizes, and shapes. They have free rooms upstairs, no cover, and inexpensive beer. I paid 5000 COP for an Aguila beer. (For US dollars, basically divide in half and drop the zeros (I. E. $2. 50 USD). According to a prior poster, there are several similar clubs in Santa Marta, but given how close and plentiful this club is, I decided not to bother going elsewhere.
The girls charge what the market will bear. My first one, a cute little black girl, asked for $100 kCOP for a 1/2 hour. I countered with $80 COP, which I discovered later was still too much to pay. Anyway, I went with her to the room for the latter price. The room was kind of shoddy but to be expected. Service was basic. There is no time for GFE, and they don't really offer it, and it's an in and out experience.
When I returned, and after a few drinks, a black girl with a nice body from San Andrea came over and quoted me $60 COP for the same amount of time. I declined as I was still recuperating from first session though it was nice to have her grab me constantly.
Later, I met an unbelievable beauty from MDE. A black girl with the most incredible body. I talked to her about TLN for the next evening and she quoted me $400 COP or $200 USD. I agreed to this price though figured I could ask around about the price and found out later that I should only offer $70 kCOP for two hours. The guy I talked to said asking a girl like that for TLN is a total waste of time. She also wanted $130 COP for a 1/2 HR at the club but had a few rules too (no kissing, DATY, etc). When I declined, she knocked her price down to $110 COP and I still said no given what I paid the first girl and the price quoted to me by the girl from San Andrea. She was kind of pissed when she walked off. In fact, some of these girls do get pissed and jealous here. Kind funny given the situation and place. It does not appear the girls have 'unionized' here.
Finally, I spotted a real beauty who I asked to come over. Just gorgeous with very white skin, black hair, and a perfect body. Probably about 24. She was from somewhere in Antioquia and really sweet. She agreed to come over to my hotel tomorrow before 9 pm -- which is their witching hour -- for two hours. The price? 100 KCOP. I exchanged numbers and called her after the club closed and it appears to be on for tomorrow. Banana's does close relatively early. At least tonight it closed at 1 am. If she does, it is the deal of a lifetime. As you can see, the prices they ask are all over the map.
Hopefully, I can file a positive report in next few days but one thing is for sure, there is a lot of action here.
One other thing. Earlier in the evening, I was in the market area of town and stopped into a store to look at sunglasses. I thought the girl was a lousy salesperson and decided to wait. When I was walking up the stairs of the club for the first session, who do I see but this same girl walking down the stairs. Kind of funny. Not sure where she is moonlighting. Either the club or as a sales person?
[QUOTE=Eltio01;1635361]I am there in two days. Anything new? Seems to me everything pretty dead.[/QUOTE]
I filed a report last night but wanted to provide additional info between innings of World Series baseball game.
As I mentioned in the prior report, Bananas, as luck would have it, is located directly across from my boutique hotel. Additionally, most of the girls stay at what appears to be a real dump of an apartment on the same side of street as Banana and virtually in front of my hotel. Occasionally, I can see the girls hanging out on front steps of apartment during the day.
I finally cut through the confusion with hottie I met last night who is from Medellin. She came over in the late afternoon for an hour and she was amazingly hot and also fun to spend time with. While in the shower afterward, she mentioned she was 'mojada' or wet so that was a nice comment to hear. I inquired whether she might be interested in accompanying me to Cartagena on Friday for the weekend. She expressed an interest, however, it appears she is under some sort of contract with Banana's, which may make even a short term disappearance problematic.
A few of the girls I spoke to last night also said they were 'committed' until the end of November. Given how little they are asking and figuring they have to split a considerable part of their earnings, it amazes me how little they actually make, yet they are under some sort of contract that they feel obligated to finish. There are only a few gringos in this bar so they have to depend on vacationing Colombians or cheap locals as their client base so don't really get the economics of this situation.
However, this girl though did pull the 'how much time did I say'. I actually had her write the amount of $100 kCOP in my IPhone last night but neglected to include the time duration. Last night she said two hours for that amount, but today professed ignorance and said this price was only for one hour. No matter as I had a good time with her and invited her over after her shift tonight. It's got to be better than the dive where she is staying.
One other thing: I signed up for What's Up a few days ago as this app is used widely in South America. It's a free internet based texting service though you can communicate with regular cell phone service. I discovered that you can find out the girls real name as it flashes on your phone from the What's Up connection. I called my new friend by her real name today, which blew her away until she figured out how I knew.

I think your girl must have typed her name into her status bar, because the only information I see of other people is what I have input into my own phone for them or what they have written as their status.
I left Santa Marta a few days ago and now in CTG. Wow! What a difference in the cost of living there compared to CTG. Santa Marta may not have the historical charm of CTG but it does have a certain level of authenticity and it is cheaper for virtually everything, especially the chicas.
I stayed at a very nice boutique hotel located, as it turned out, across from the Bananas night club and also the apartment where many of the girls reside when not working at the club. My hotel room would have cost at least two times the amount in CTG. The front desk was very helpful and one of the staff told me that locals pay $50 COP for 45 minutes though not clear if he was referring to Bananas in particular or just the club / casa scene in general.
When I went to the club, most girls quoted somewhere between $100 COP to as low as $50 COP. One older black girl with a fantastic body quoted me a top price of $130 COP. All prices were for a 1/2 hour and room price was included. Most girls lowered their price upon negotiation. Even the $130 COP girl came over to me later in the evening and dropped the price to $110 COP. On my first go around with a little black spinner, she first said $100 COP then immediately accepted my counter offer of $80 COP. The second time I saw her (on a slow night), she offered me $50 COP and strongly suggested her culito was on the menu. Since I was already enthralled with someone else, I declined, which annoyed her to no end.
I had the very good fortune to meet an absolutely stunning 22 year old girl there from Medellin. By far the most pretty girl I have been with anywhere including pros and non-pros. Just a fantastic face, body, attitude, and service. She also had a great deal of class for a club like this and was trying to fund her tuition charges for a university. I was pleased to make a contribution three days running. She came over to my hotel either in the late afternoon before work or once in the late morning on my final day. She explained that she generally charges $120 COP in the club for a 1/2 hour session and the club keeps $10 COP plus $20 COP for the room so basically she nets $90 COP ($45 USD). Not sure how that business plan works from the club perspective but overall a good deal for the girls. It is $50 COP for takeout and the price the girl negotiates with the client for either short or long term. Her apartment, which looks pretty decrepit from the outside, is free as the club pays for her rent. I paid her $100 COP for one hour and one shot and all of that amount went to her. Not sure about her business plan either as the price is virtually no different from a session in their grundgy rooms though she was living 30 seconds from my hotel.
Anyway, Santa Marta appears to have some nightlife on a pedestrian mall and near the Parque de LOS Novios. The town is a bit run down but one had to feel improvements in their infrastructure are gradually taking shape.
Any recommended places to stay in Santa Marta, chica friendly hotels or apartments near the beach and under $60?
Does anyone have the address for Bananas in Santa Marta?
I can't tell you the actual street name but it is virtually across the street from Casa De Isabella, a boutique hotel where I stayed several weeks ago. Google that and you are almost there. During the day, the club is shuttered with a metal gate. However, there is a very small 'Banana' sign above the door. It opens at 8 pm most nights and closes between 1 to 3 am depending on the night or how busy they are. There is no cover and beer is cheap. The chicha's fee is negotiable, though they usually start at $80 to $100 COP. As I noted in a prior report, from the agreed amount, $20 CCOP is for the dodgy room upstairs and $10 COP is also to the house. Apparently, the chica takes the rest.
I would stay away from the little black girl who may be the first girl you see upon entry. Can't rememember name but she is a bit of a pain and recently also had a baby -- she was still lactating.
Since this is your first inquiry, Please file a report if you go.

I should've read thread when I was there in November! I knew some of the guys coming out of that bar across from my hotel had that monger air about them!
I had taken a CTG girl to Santa Marta. Hot and young. Pothead does not even begin to describe her. First of two nights at that hotel, she was passed by 10 from smoking too much at our private, rooftop pool. I really wanted some more action, and I wished I knew there were some right across the street!
Yeah, I stayed at the suite with the private pool. My girl from Bananas really dug the view and ambience of that room though I could not get her to bang me at the pool. I watched the World Series final game there and checked out two days later so you must have replaced me.
Having Bananas literally 10 seconds across the street certainly made life easy. Incidentally, most of the girls who work at Bananas live in a grotty apartment just to the left as you exit the front entrance of the hotel.

Nice to know about Bananas. I did like the hotel and the location, the service, and the price was reasonable for a such a nice honeymoon suite. I'd definitely go back to SM, and maybe stay a couple of nights in this hotel. If the chick I bring passes out, I'll just go across the street and take care of some itch.
Reports on this thread are sparse. Tomasab's last report is keeping my hopes up a bit. Is Banana's it for now? The hotel I booked is quite a ways south of town. Anyone know of any pick up spots south of town?
I saw a report about some street action on the board walk on El Rodedero. Is that still the case? If present, I assume that is around sunset time?
Also, I like to smoke before a session. I know I can probably buy it anywhere but if someone knows of a sure bet, please PM me. Thanks for any leads?

I was told there are a few places on the other side of town past the park leading from beach. Never bothered to go as Bananas was so close to my hotel and found some decent girls in there. There is also a popular street with several bars near Parque novia though that appeared to be non pro territory. I remember meeting one guy who had been in the Peace Corp there and opened a cool little bar. Easy to find the street.

I'm getting ready to book my hotel and found a few with nice pics, reviews, and prices.
Most that I like are in the historical district and though reviews are good they say these hotels are not near the "better beaches".
My question is where are the better beaches? Are they in Rodeo? How far are the good beaches from the historic district?
Is it walking distance or do you need to take a cab or bus?

I don't know what is the historical district but maybe it's the old downtown on the other side of the big hill. From there you would need to commute via taxi to the beach. I think you need to study maps of the area and see the layout of Santa Marta. It's unusual with the hill in between the old downtown and the resort area.

The best way to get there is to go to Taganga and take a water taxi / launch. I would suggest you take a look at the thread titled "Urbanwildlife in Colombia". There is some good information in that thread that is current today despite the report being old. Nothing really has changed.

It is very possible you will run into him since he now lives there and frequents the nightlife on a regular basis. Knowing Urban he will more than likely buy you some beers, and possibly treat you to one of the many women friends he has. Also for dinner you might want to checkout the restaurants in El Rodadero named Burukuka and Donde Chu Chu. They are very popular, and all the taxi drivers will be familiar with them. If you want the beach, I would stay in El Rodadero instead of Santa Marta. El Rodadero is a much better area, very safe, and you can walk to anywhere you want to go. Have a great time!

When and how long are you planning to stay in Santa Marta / El Rodadero? I would definitely stay in El Rodadero, as it is much nicer, cleaner, secure, and friendlier. The only reason to go to Santa Marta is for the nightlife, and my bar of choice is Bananas. It is just a 10 minute taxi ride that costs 5 dollars or so. To answer your other question it is not hard to find him.
I want to clear up something that was the source of my confusion so someone reading this and going to Santa Marta for the first time won't be as confused. I thought El Rodadero was a neighborhood inside the city of Santa Marta it is not. They are about 15 minutes apart via cab.
So when booking your hotel if being close to the best beaches is important to you book a hotel in El Rodadero. If the beach really isn't that high a priority you can find very good or great accommodations. Much cheaper inside the city of Santa Marta and still hit the beach if you want but will need to take a cab.
From what I am learning there are beaches in Santa Marta but the quality is sub par. I'll report back more as I progress.

I also might add when you are in El Rodadero you will find people at every street corner holding signs for apartment rentals. Apartments are plentiful and economical. However, very few places have hot water. If you elect to rent an apartment, make sure the air conditioning is working property and check that you have linens and hot water. If you are going to see an apartment with someone from the street, and you do not like the apartment he has, he will have many more to show you. Also tell him what amenities you are looking for in an apartment. If an apartment does not have WiFi, know that there are many internet cafes in the area. Also know that when entering El Rodadero you are steps away from the beach. If taking a taxi, have them drop you off in the front of the Condominiums Santa Maria del Mar, as this is a great area to be in if searching for an apartment, and also Santa Maria del Mar rents apartments themselves. Also on the side street of Santa Maria del Mar is Hotel Betoma which I highly recommend. It offers suites with air conditioning, hot water, and is steps away from the beach. I would also highly suggest people do not rent an apartment facing the beach, as the beach in El Rodadero is very alive and noisy at night, until 5 in the morning with the pounding of drums and people singing and partying there asses off.

The beaches are El Rodadero to one side of SM and Taganga to the other side. I think most locals opt for the El Rodadero side. You can also take the bus versus a taxi between the three. There is not one that goes directly from El Rodadero to Taganga. You would have to transfer to another in Santa Marta. I don't think El Rodadero and Taganga are 20 minutes apart by taxi; and most of that is due to the winding roads up and down the mountains on either side of SM. I would say it is 10 minutes tops crossing SM in a taxi. I walked it one night while reconning the spots.

To go to Taganga it is necessary to take a taxi. The fare is approximately 7 dollars.
Have something new to contribute again, so here goes.
Santa Marta, there is lots to do in this area if you like the sea, beach and sierras. I tried a little of everything during my week there so will add my thoughts of the non-mongering activities for those of you who do more than drink, suck'and fuck. If you want only the good stuff scroll down to the Main Event section.
As stated before, there are 3 separate communities here, Santa Marta, Tatanga and El Rodadero. SM is in the center of the 3 and all are a short taxi ride or bus ride from each other. The blue buses cost 1. 4 k a ride and are a cheap option if you're in no hurry like I was. Taxis are nice as most have ac and you can arrive fresh for your citas. The area is quite warm in the direct sun but not as humid as South Florida. If there is a breeze and shade I was comfortable. Shorts and t-shirt were acceptable everywhere I went. This is a beach resort area for the Colombians, unfortunately I was here during a week of no school. Lots of families out and about but I still enjoyed myself.
First day I went diving from the Tatanga area. You can set up dives in all the communities but will need to travel to Tatanga area as all dive boats originate from there. Transport is included in price from the dive office you arrange with. A 2 tank dive cost me 140 k and included water, a sandwich, all gear and transport. The reefs are OK. Some adults fish around, saw nice size lobster and morays. Tatanga area is very provincial looking with no paved roads and more of an "alternative" feel to it with lots of the young folks sporting tattooes and piercings. Not my scene at all so just did my activities and left.
Next day went to Tayrona park which is the largest protected nature reserve in the area. Lots of unspoiled beaches but a bit of travel involved to get to them. I opted for the boat ride which for a diver is not bad. Once your out of the bay it will get more choppy and expect to get wet. You are going to the beaches right? I opted for Cristal beach and it had clean, cool water to swim in and one restaurant with mostly fish on the menu. It's not the most beautiful beach in Tayrona but it is the closest with a 30-40 min boat ride, more of a white sands kinda beach. Boat taxis to Tayrona from Tatanga are all open boats I paid 90 k for RT. Protect your skin if need be and remember you will get wet. Dry bags are good ideas, I took one to change clothes when back in Tantaga for my ride back home. The problem will be finding a place to change.
Minca is a town in the sierras or in the mountains close to SM. It is cooler, green, backpacker feel, farm / nature tours and basically has a river with clear, cold water to splash about in. It's only like 800 feet higher but it is much cooler and the air is fresher. Small shops, hotels, cafes and fincas with coffee farms give tours. The town is spread out so lots to explore if walking. I enjoyed a restaurant on the river with a dip in the cold water. It had rooms, kinda pricey but it might be worth it to stay overnight as the road is rough and under construction. I would not return in the dark. Take a date. I went on a Sunday so lots of locals making the trip up during the week might have less traffic. Forty minute ride the day I went.
Nice new shopping area called Zazue Plaza on the main highway towards the airport. You will pass it leaving the airport on the left side. If you have a date they will enjoy it as its new and hip but small. There is a pizza place with live entertainment that is popular and a BBC.
Main Event.
I found myself going to two of the well known bars, Bananas and Dubai and doing a type of casa and escort service. So you see I explored a bit of the local options. I'm sure I would have found more if I had stayed longer.
Bars:
Bananas is similar to Medellin centro strip clubs except smaller and lower ceilings. Weekend I paid 10 k cover but no cover during the week. Agreed with what has been stated before, good variety of girls for all preferences. I took 2 up on 2 different visits. Both great to talk to and provided excellent service. Both stated 70 k for half hour without negotiating. Seemed fair to me I was happy. Drinking is cheap but don't expect a strip show. I did not see one girl dance during my visits. I'm told they will but you have to pay for it, something like that. My Spanish is so so. The rooms are basic but some have ac make sure you get one of those. It is in Santa Marta on Carrera 2 close to Calle 20. The malecon (beach road) and parque de LOS novios is a block away each in different directions.
Dubai is on the highway just as you reach El Rodadero from the airport. There is a Terpel gas station on your left and the bar is a block away. Can't miss it as you can see it from the highway. Higher end club with some dancing a few girls per hour or so. Most of the girls I saw are doable for me so it was a nice place to sit and watch. Most of the guys party with the girls for long time so if you see one you like don't wait and call her over or you're going to be waiting for these party guys to tire out. It is a large club and there is plenty of sitting areas and ac, very comfortable place to chill. Out back is a pool area and small store if you want to feel out the girl without the blaring dance music. I was told the girls charge different prices and runs like 120 k to 150 k for half hour. I chose one of the 150 k girls and was taken to a nice room with ac. She stated all girls live there in apts in back and the club provides service 24 hrs. I guess if you know your girl you can call for her service even if she is not in the club or off hours. This is the high end club for the area.
Chica Apt:
I went to several websites from the [URL]http://co.mileroticos.com/escorts/magdalena/santa-marta/[/URL] webpage. Two businesses stick out as most of the adds have the same cell numbers. One of many web pages is for this apt building where the girls live and provide service. This is the main webpage I believe but there are others. [URL]http://www.clubdeangeles.com/[/URL]#!home / mainPage.
It is in Santa Marta in the neighborhood with the local football stadium. Its at the corner of Carrera 19 and calle 11 c building number 09. It is a 3 story building and green and yellow with a metal gate that is open and a wood door. There is a Calle 11 c09 sign by the door. Knock hard so the girls can hear you. Downstairs is sala and the girls live in the upper floors. The sala is where the viewing takes place. There are two room to provide service. One has a private bath the other doesn't. Nice rooms with ac and fan. I chose Natalia and all provide one hour for 120 k. The girls come and go so you never know who is there. You can call one of the numbers on the website and find out who is there or simple go and try your luck. Mine provided nice service. I wish I had found this place sooner to try during the day and night. There is a subway with ac and large pharmacy down the block if needed. I enjoy a meal after sex, and ac makes it better.
Escort Service.
The other business with multiple ads in Mileroticos is more of an escort service with a twist.
[URL]http://www.pasiondediosas.com/[/URL]#!santamarta / cee5 , again a lot of the ads will take you to this website. Between 10 am and 6 pm they have a penthouse apt in El Rodadero for client use and I mean it is a penthouse apt. The best I have yet seen in Colombia for service. They also will come to your place from 10 am to 12 am all for the same price, whether you go to the apt or order in. The girl prices are different and are on their respective web pages. I opted for the penthouse and the girl I talked to was waiting for me in the apt. We chatted as my requested date arrived a few minutes later. The building is in El Rodadero and is located at Carrera 3 #7-63 building name is Centro Internacional Apt#1802 there is a Exito express in front. Go to the portero and he will call the apt. You must make a date by phone as no one lives there. The girls only arrive if you confirm a date. I chose Roxana and she rocked my world. Young morena that liked DATY. We 69 till I almost finished as she was juicing up again and going at me hard. This one likes to fuck. Forgot to mention the dates are for 120 min. The best value I found in town, also the website uses the world "triguena" which is a nicer way to say morena I believe.
Really excelente report. As I am going to Santa Marta the weekend after next, it is very timely and informative. Also, I am currently in Cali and just concluded festivities with a 20 yo local beauty. I mentioned that I was going to CTG/SM and naturally she expressed an interest in joining me but not sure if I want the potential hassle, her daily rate, and the cost of flights, etc. Not dure what she would want.but i would cap it at $200 COP per day. Just not sure how much I have to talk about with a 20yo for several days.
I visited Santa Marta last October and met a gorgeous girl working at Bananas who is no longer there. It is exactly at you describe However, I did not know about the other club/escort options you mentioned. Can't say I cared for the rooms upstairs there and I invited this girl to come over to my hotel located across the street before she went to work. I did that twice and think her price was $100 cop. That was last year and so it converted to about $50 USD for an hour. The current price the girls were asking of $70 COP, albeit in the upstairs rooms, converts to an absurdly low price of $25.
I did try to get her to travel with me to Minca or Tayrona but it was like pulling teeth so gave up on that quest. I think most of them for whatever reason are reluctant to leave the confines of their apartment and this club.
[QUOTE=GoneFishin;1784464]Have something new to contribute again, so here goes.
Santa Marta, there is lots to do in this area if you like the sea, beach and sierras. I tried a little of everything during my week there so will add my thoughts of the non-mongering activities for those of
Bars:
Bananas is similar to Medellin centro strip clubs except smaller and lower ceilings. Weekend I paid 10 k cover but no cover during the week. Agreed with what has been stated before, good variety of girls for all preferences. I took 2 up on 2 different visits. Both different directions.
Chica Apt:
I went to several websites from the [URL]http://co.mileroticos.com/escorts/magdalena/santa-marta/[/URL] webpage. Two businesses stick out as most of the adds have the same cell numbers. One of many web pages is for this apt building where the girls live and provide service. This is the main webpage I believe but there are others.

GoneFishin,
Happy to see you enjoyed yourself, and your post is one of the best that has been posted on the Colombian Forum in a very long time, and certainly the best that has ever been posted on the Santa Marta thread.
Great reporting Tomasb. Is Bananas a strip club or a dance club with action?
Does Bananas also has the glaring / blasting music that the Costeno's are famous for?
I agree about pulling teeth. The ones I took up were somewhat confused when I asked about TLN pricing. It was like no one had ever asked them before and they had no idea what to charge. On slow week nights the club closes at 1 am so its a good day to try for a TLN cita without paying a bar fine. If you follow my lead, you will have enough options to keep yourself entertained. The Dubai girls all seem to come from somewhere else in Colombia, hence living on site. The escort and chica house were all locals. Bananas had a mix of local and further out workers. Renobar I was told is a very local hangout and advised not to walk there at night. I might sample it next time in SXM, since I can pass for Colombian until I open my mouth. If your staying around the area for a bit it would be nice to enjoy the beach and nightlife with someone you have good chemistry with. For me that would be like 2 or 3 nights max. I always need time to sample the local product.
It's actually neither. The girls hang out around the couches, small bar, and tables and you invite them over, if you want to begin negotiations, or just to chat them up. There are a few stripper poles though, as noted, they are rarely in use, though I think you can ask a girl to dance for you. I do recall girls occasionally dancing with potential customers though the music is probably not very loud as I hate racuous music and would remember.
To comment about another response regarding the local girls, I remember one night shopping for sunglasses in a store near a street by the cathedral. I spoke to this younger attractive saleswomen who was not a very good salesperson as I did not buy anything. Later on in Banana's as I and my 'date' we're leaving the short term room, I ran into this same girl walking up the stairs. Also, as I noted in prior reports, the non-local girls live in a shoddy apartment about 30 meters from the club on the same side of street. During the day, you can occasionally see them hanging around outside the apartment. It's possible some of these girls, out of sheer boredom, find work during the day like the salesgirl I mentioned. Santa Marta is a small city and I suspect everyone knows everyone's business.
I doubt if many of the girls are truly 'local' as their profession would cause considerable shame for themselves and their families. Instead, they are either from other parts of Colombia or live in the hinterlands (pueblos) in this part of the country. However, the escort girls could be local as the setup is more discrete.

I agree with Tomasb in description of the club. The music volume I found to be tolerable and even able to talk with the girls without raising my voice. Dubai had the blaring music hence my suggestion to talk to the girls out back in the pool area. Local girls are no doubt from the surrounding areas as SM is a big town. I walked a lot of it in my time there.

I don't post often unless I have something new to contribute. Others confirm what has already been written. I hope to contribute again in the near future. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the forum.
Arrived in SMR early evening. The area around Parque de LOS Novios was bustling with activity. Many people out enjoying the evening breeze and plenty of bars and restaurants open. I noticed three discos in this area and checked them out later in evening -- around 1 am -- but for the most part they were empty with a few random local guys hanging around. It did not look like local non pro ladies go to these places or tourists and later in the evening the crowds appear to taper off.
So examining these limited options, I went to Bananas. The cover is $6000 COP and beer is the same price. Like most bars, you can only order by the bottle with the cheapest and smallest bottle priced at 50 KCop. Unfortunately and unbelievably, they don't sell Coke so you can't even make yourself a Cuba Libre. Lots of girls in there and an equal amount of guys. In fact, many more guys than girls but enough girls to go around. They are pretty agressive and shy girls need not apply here. The talent was only so-so with only a few stunners from my perspective. I have been coming to Colombia for several years and it seems the girls get larger and larger and more out of shape on every visit. Trying to find a thin, tight looking younger gal is nigh impossible and there were a few girls in there who would be better suited to patrolling US truck stops. Some girls were the biggest I have ever seen in this type of venue.
After kicking a few chicas to the curb, I finally succumbed to a very black negra who was quite pushy though had a good sense of humor as well -- Grabbing my cock, stroking me all over, joking around, etc. There was another white girl sitting on the couch opposite me so she also joined in the act. I eventually headed upstairs with both of them for $80 COP each for 1/2 hour. I have generally cured myself of threesomes but for this price, I decided to take the plunge.
On the way to the rooms on the third floor, there is a second landing before ascending the stairs next to the bar area. The girls took me first down a short hallway and pulled up their dresses. Neither we're wearing panties and it looked as if they wanted me to pound them right there. A few girls walking down the stairs walked by with amused looks on their faces. I think these girls were hoping to get me to bang them there, get me to come fast, and get all my money before I handed it over upstairs to the attendant. I was having none of that so I told them to take me to the room. The attendant also wanted 20 COP for the room and I should have asked beforehand if their price included the room as I think this room / price inclusion was noted by another poster recently. Anyway, the action in the room was sufficiently raunchy though I could have probably made a better selection in terms of their appearance as neither girl was especially attractive in the harsh light of the room.
By the way, they come at you in droves there and you have to be assertive with the girls to give yourself sufficient time to make the right selection. Don't grab the first one who comes by. But if you wait too long, some of the nicer looking chicas naturally disappear faster. Timing, as in life, is everything.
One other thing of note: every girls I spoke to said they were from MDE or someplace nearby.
After I left the room and returned to the main room, I got quite a bit of attention from some of the other girls now that I have been identified as a buyer. There were a couple decent ones who appeared that I may consider tonight. Also, the bar closes at 3 am and I recommend not hanging around outside after people leave as there are a lot of local guys about, some quite drunk, who could be a potential problem for a solo gringo. I got some weird inquiries and did not linger.
In the OTHERS thread it was stated that.
"LOL. I think you meant "andele", which is more Mexican Spanish. If the beaches in Santa Marta are some of the best that you have seen then you must have not seen many beaches. They definitely don't have white sand, and the water leaves a lot to be desired as well. A good rule of thumb is to go to the places that have the most posts on ISG. I think that would be Medellin as far as Colombia is concerned. Also take a look at tripadvisor reports while planning your trip. ".
The beach along the malecon of SM proper is not the white sands clear water type as a busy port and marina are nearby. The best beaches and yes, with clear carribbean type water you cannot walk to or drive to in general (some in Tayrona Park you can). It requires a boat ride to get to them and there are operators in many locations in the SM area. I prefer to go to Tatanga and catch my boat there. Shorter boat time.
I sailed my boat to Santa Marta in mid November to the IGY marina.
My crew was horny after 12 days at sea, and I knew a chica from St Maarten that I have been communicating with, she lives in SMR.
She brought us to Bananas on a Friday Night.
My guys were introduced to the better chicas as my friend is the number 1 Chica in the club.
They had fun but had to wait in line in the back for 20 minutes just to get a room. They said the rooms were gross. I have taken them to many Clubs all over the Caribbean. , so they know the deal, and when they say gross. They are gross. They all got the numbers of chicas in the club and took a few hotel rooms. My boat is 3 blocks from Bananas so I took my chica back to my boat for a few days.
My crew also had a great time with the chicas out of the bar.
My recomendation for Bananas is to hook up with a chica- go to the gross room and get her number.
I would not spend much time in that club and get laid there.
I am heading back in a few days to check out the other "Better ' clubs and will report back.
The logistics are difficult as my regular novia will be coming to the boat from Medellin as soon as I tell her that I am in town.
Last time she looked at my passport and said what were you doing in Bogota for 3 days?
Now I will use another passport to enter Colombia and show her another one if she asks.
We will then sail to St Maarten- my regular stomping grounds, I will probably have " boat troubles" and have to stop in Curacao- Campo for a few days. Then to sxm.
I can confirm, that Bananas and Dubai are the two Clubs one should visit, while in the area.
Directions, see messages below.
In Bananas I expected a very dirty room upstairs, based on previous reports.
But I must say it was okay (it's not a FKK Club in Germany or Switzerland), otherwise or in addition get the phone number of the lady and set up a meeting via WhatsApp in your hotel.
Hey all.
It looks very likely that a visit to Colombia will be in my not too, too distant future. I like the beach and I've heard and read that the beaches of Santa Marta are a lot nicer than CTG.
I have the opportunity to exchange a timeshare I have into either Zuana Beach Hotel or Mendihuaca Resort. Both in SM but they appear to be in different areas. Any info on either of these hotels?
I assume I will be in company of a very fine tour guide so mostly just looking for a nice place for a few days but if other hunting options are more readily available near either of these places that would be nice to know.
Thanks for any input.
Barkey.

I highly suggest you call them (Hotel Betoma) as they seem to not want to return emails. I can also tell you that you will not have a problem just showing up and getting your room when you arrive. They also offer 2 room suites with a stove, refrigerator, couch and so forth. The location is as perfect as you can get. You will also find if you just show up in El Rodadero that people will be standing knee deep on every street corner with signs renting apartments. This is just another option for you, because then you can find exactly what you are looking for. Please note that 95 percent of the apartments do not have hot water, so be sure you check. The Hotel Betoma does have hot water and WiFi.

Hi guys,
What is the best place for region Santa Marta if all I want is beach closed to each other?
El Rodadero or santa marta?
Santa Marta seems to have the ladies but is it possible to swim at the beach close to Parque Camellon?
El Rodadero seems to have the beach. But also lots of ladies?
Thanks.
Puppeteer,
I live here so take it from someone who knows. El Rodadero, and also explore the beaches in Parque Tayrona with Playa Cristal being my favorite. Here is a post I made some years ago but it is still accurate for the most part. Scroll down until I am posting about Santa Marta.

Old Parr,
Thanks for the link. Very detailed info you wrote. Good job.
Would you be so kind to add some info for my very special request? What I would like to know is:
1.) are in El Rodadero enough girls for lets say a 10 days stay or would I have to drive to Santa Marta for the ladies?
2. is the beach in Santa Marta close to Parque Camellon acceptable? Do not ask if he is great but if the beach is acceptable in terms of not unhealthy going in the water.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]El Rodadero is a 5 to 10 minute taxi ride to and from Santa Marta, and taxis here are very inexpensive. I always tell people do not come here to monger, as it is much better to bring your own girl from another area. There are clubs, but it is much better to hook up with a girl you share chemistry with if you are going to be here longer than 3 or 4 days. You might also consider the dating websites such as Colombian Cupido to find girls if you plan to stay 10 days. There are many girls from Barranquilla who would jump at the opportunity to come and spend time in Santa Marta. It is only a 2 hour bus ride from Barranquilla, and 4 to 4. 5 hours from Cartagena. It is also a nice ride if you go the Cartagena route, and the ride goes by very quickly. Van shuttles or taking the bus is very affordable so you might want to consider going to Cartagena for a few days, as that is a mongering destination, and then bring a girl back to Santa Marta with you if you choose to go that route. Shuttles run at all hours so you can take for an example a shuttle that leaves at 6 am and be in Cartagena at 10:30 am. You have several options. You can have fun here alone but 10 days is a rather long time relying on the places that are here. You will find Cartagena to be filled with many options when it comes to nightlife, the vibe and electricity is spectacular with so many fun places to go to. I absolutely love the place, but it is so damn expensive for someone like me who loves to create a party in any venue I walk into.
Are you referring to Paseo Camellon? Paseo Camellon is a beautiful (boardwalk) area and the swimming is acceptable. Again if you are looking for a beach I suggest you go to Parque Tayrona or to El Rodadero. At night you can find some girls walking the boardwalk area (Paseo Camellon) If you go to Parque Tayrona I recommend you do not take the bus there as you will have a long long walk through the jungle to get to the beach. It is much easier taking a taxi to Taganga (a fishing village) 18,000 pesos I think is the taxi fare, then take a launch from there to one of the beaches in Parque Tayrona. Launches are every where when you reach Taganga, as Taganga is very small.
My suggestion is for you to go to the beach in El Rodadero then it is easy to get the lay of the land of everything else. Also the beach in El Rodadero is a big big party every night, but it can be boring if you are by yourself. My favorite pay for play bar in the Santa Marta / El Rodadero area is Bananas but keep your guard up wherever you go at night in Santa Marta. On the other hand El Rodadero is extremely safe, and everything is in walking distance. I love it here.
I also reviewed your posting history, and all your postings are questions, but you have never contributed any information to help others. Generally I refuse to help anyone unless they have made a contribution, so I hope if you do make the trip to Colombia you share your experiences as a way to help others who also might be considering coming to this area but have no knowledge of the area what so ever.
Thanks again for your info. Well, it is not that I am only at this site but also at a German site. As English is not my mother. Tongue I wrote my experience of Pattaya in a German forum. Unfortunately there is not a single review to Colombia. So I do support the monger-society. Also your answers are not only for me but help also all others interested in traveling Santa Marta.
Anyhow: my program is very simple: in the daytime beach. In the night 1st getting a girl for st on a daily changing base and later hanging around with my friend. From hotel to beach and ladies not much effort / short distance. Beach must not be great but just oki for lying there and swimming a little. For the girls-part it is important for me that there is some variety.
So if I got you right: El Rodadero would not be good as there are to less girls. Santa marta would be better. In Santa Marta you can find some girls walking the boardwalk area (Paseo Camellon). Jut some or some more? In other site they write: "Carrera 1 C nearby Parque Camellon is very popular area among the Santa Marta Street prostitutes. ". Bananas I read good things about also.
Thanks a lot also for the info that swimming is acceptable around Paseo Camellon. Also in the north of it? I have seen a sort of harbor for oil tanker or something in the north.

Santa Marta wasn't quite what I expected -- pretty rustic and not particularly quaint. The beaches were so-so and the water wasn't very clean. Tonnes of people there, which only compounded the issues. Very hot and humid also. Some decent restaurants though. My little East Indian chica fell through because her Dad got bit by a poisonous snake on the forearm a few days before I arrived, and coupled with severe diabetes, had his lower arm amputated while I was there. Not surprisingly, my little chica didn't leave his side and stood me up a few times all the while claiming she was desperate to see me. No hard feelings, but I've deleted her from Whatsapp. She sent me some pretty gory pics from the hospital.
My other [URL]SeekingArrangement.com[/URL] gal (mid-30's child psychologist) who lives in Santa Marta looked and acted kinda strange when I met her, despite her very decent body and passable English, so I went to Option 3 -- bars girls. I had researched the brothel scene and found that the Banana Bar was supposedly the best venue there, so I popped by about 10 pm on the Sunday night and thought the cabbie was trying to fuck with me because the entrance was so brutal looking -- no sign outside either. WTF?
Well, it kinda reminded me of Bar Tropical in Tijuana once inside, but about 2 notches shabbier in the main bar area. The chicas were pretty marginal looking, with everyone approaching me and making the experience bothersome. Also got approached for cocaine a few times by some rateros. One gal eventually piqued my interest as she kept passing her decent body (9/10) in front of my table. She was from Venezuela, spoke no English and had about a 6. 5 face with braces on her top row of teeth. Morena type with long curly black hair and claimed she had only been there 4 days. We agreed on a price equivalent to about $25 USD for 20 minutes, but I was so hungry I said I'd come back for her. After a very tasty seafood meal at "Donde Chucho's" a few blocks away, I returned to find her coming down the stairs and looking sweaty and disheveled -- oh great. Anyway, I wasn't leaving Santa Marta without banging something, so I made eye contact and she went to the back area to clean up. She even gargled with mouthwash, which I could smell on her breath when we were talking.
Anyways, we head to the entrance to the upstairs rooms and I almost put a stop to the entire experience right there. The only way I can describe it is that it reminded me of Alcatraz! I'm dead serious. Metal prison-like doors, narrow staircase with stained cement walls, exposed wires, bare light bulbs hanging at strange angles from rotted wooden ceiling beams. And there was a long line of about 8-10 couples in front of us just to get to the dozen rooms on the second level. And everyone one is stealing glances at me in this hot and humid stairwell as they're snogging each other in bright fluorescent lighting, which made the chicas look even more hideous than they appeared in the darker bar area. My gal still had a great body, but she was wearing far too much makeup that was applied poorly and I noticed some back acne partially covered by her long hair. It was the longest 15 minutes of my life, especially since the little sweaty / drunk fuck in front of me was singing some traditional Colombian song while flirting with my chica and winking at me while his obese puta scowled at the both of us.
We finally walk down a long, musty low-ceiling hall to get to our 10 X6 room and it's completely disgusting. Single bed wedged against a wall covered in graffiti, stained bedspread, dirty toilet, slimy little shower stall and a single exposed light bulb. My chica is embarrassed for me, but all I could do was chuckle and say, "Well, let's fuck like inmates in this prison" which caused her to laugh and release the tension. I tried turning the light off for mood, but it was pitch black without it, so on came the 100 W bulb again, exposing every single tiny blemish on my chica -- of which there were many. And although there were easily 5,000 reasons to lose my boner in that place, the little blue pill I popped about an hour earlier didn't let me down, which was a tiny miracle. As such, I bent her over on the lumpy bed, pulled down my jeans, slipped on my condom and simply pounded her for about 7 minutes in doggy while just shaking my head in utter disbelief that this was happening while on my vacation. Luckily her panocha was pretty tight and there was no odor, so I nutted pretty strongly. She actually jumped in the little shower to wash off for 2 minutes, but it felt like 2 hours as I couldn't wait to break out of Alcatraz and be a free man again. Total cost with a beer and a lady drink: $36 USD for a very unique experience.
A friend of mine was in Santa Marta 8 years ago. He said it has one of the the best scenes of Latin America, a whole strip with girlie bars, similar to maybe a small version of Pattaya. And some freelance clubs to boot.
Unfortunately, that has all shut down completely. Two locals I talked to confirmed that this did indeed exist 8 years ago, a strip with about 10 bars. None of them are left. The freelance clubs have closed as well.
Strip clubs: Bananas. Closed. Flamingo. Closed. Renobar. Closed.
Freelance clubs: Tibiri tabara. Closed. El velero del amor. Closed.
Parque de LOS novios: no freelancers spotted.
I was out in the late evening. Maybe between 9 pm and midnight or so. I was in Rodadero and Santa Marta proper.
I'm sure there are still casas to be found (not my style of mongering), but the fun time gogo bar scene and freelance club scene is all but gone. Only two places are left now, both in Rodadero. They're called Dubai and Troya. Dubai has been around for a long time and is famous. Troya is new and there to replace Bananas and Renobar. Apparently the girls migrated from those two bars to the new Troya.
Summary: there isn't a strip anymore, only 2 strip clubs, and they're not in the same part of town so you will need 3 taxis. One to go from your hotel to Dubai, another from Dubai to Troya, another to go back. Small clubs, pretty dark, can't really make out what girls look like, and they don't dance on the poles, just sit around.
I'm sure you can find a nice girl there. But if you've been to Thailand, this will all seem pretty boring. Not to hate on the scene, but if you're like me and don't like brothel style mongering or casas as much as gogo bars and freelancers, you're probably better off in Cartagena or Medellin.

Where is Troya and what are the prices like if anybody knows? Dubai was to pricey for my liking.
[QUOTE=Rover2;1994111]If I'm reading this right a Banana's is closed that sucks. It was right around the corner from the park. I had a great time about a year ago there and was definitely planning on returning.[/QUOTE]Yeah I heard a lot of good things about that place. I saw the building and asked people where it is. Everyone said it's closed. There was a guy standing outside who had flyers for Troya. So I went there instead but wasn't too impressed. Maybe a bad night or maybe just not my kind of venue. Like I said. After years in Pattaya I may be a bit spoiled.
[QUOTE]Where is Troya and what are the prices like if anybody knows? Dubai was to pricey for my liking.[/QUOTE]It's in Rodadero, a bit further out than Dubai. I'm not sure about the exact address as I just got a cabbie to drive me there. It was 8 k pesos to get there. Didn't inquire with the girls about prices but the cab driver said he pays 80 k. Not sure that rate applies for foreigners.
It was disappointing to read from a fellow poster that Banana's is now closed. I used to take a three day break or so from my visits to Cartagena and stayed in a nice boutique hotel directly across the street from this joint. Think the hotel is called Casa Isabella and recommended. Even though they did have a fairly strict policy against visitors, I was able to take a girl in who I met in Banana's as she was a classy non-hooker type look who hailed from MDE. One of the most amazing looking girls I have ever met and a great lay. Still remember her saying 'duro' and 'duro' to me during the act.
I was quite amused by the description and experience of the poster (see 10/25/16) who took a girl from the Banana's downstairs area to the skanky rooms upstairs. His description was spot-on and quite accurately depicted. I felt like he did -- I am on vacation and doing this here -- perhaps I do need professional help, LOL. On this occasion, some little black chick with a hot body enticed me to go upstairs with her. Unfortunately, as soon as she removed her clothes, I noticed considerable baby damage so did her doggie style.
The next evening, the black spinner spotted me downstairs and offered me anal for 'nada' as she said she was horny. She even grabbed my cock, took it out, and stroked me under the table. However, when I spotted the beauty from MDE, I decided to pass on this dubious offer and made a beeline for my new find. Alas, I think she is married now, though still retain her contact details.
So per chance, if Banana's were to re-open, fellow posters please let us know. There is really very little reason to travel to Santa Marta again as the rest of the town seemed very sedate. It's about a 4 hour van journey from CTG and the beaches simply are not worth the journey.
I just left the Cafam drug store at the Exito downtown. The guy called the boss and gave me a buy one get one free deal of Durax (generic Cialis) 4 MG for 136,950 pesos (US 85 cents per tablet). There are 28 tablets in each box. They expire October 2018.
When I left the store and was walking down Calle 19 two teenagers on a bicycle ran into my back. One was driving and it was like one was sitting on the handlebars. Seemed like they were trying to pick pocket me. But I don't carry a wallet. It is a wide street and it was wide open. It is now 11:51 am.

Now I'm thinking maybe he would have gave me one free for each one I buy. Now I got 3 boxes to use up.
[QUOTE=GringoItaliano;1939723]Where exactly did you find these many working ladies in Taganga? At the popular disco whose name you cannot remember? You mentioned that you met the porn star Isabella Obregon there but did not session with her. You mentioned that there were many easy women at that disco, but that sounds like non-P4P.
I was under the impression that Taganga is more for the backpacker / hippie crowd, and a previous post on Taganga on this thread indicated that much of the action there was for Colombianos who wanted to do backpacker / hippie gringas for free.[/QUOTE]Since I was with my lady friend, no I am not going to look for session with someone else. My lady friend showed me around Santa Marta and Taganga. I met my lady friend in Cartagena way before this. I've taking the "lady friend" on a few trips. I've taken her to Aruba, Mexico, Guatemala and Panama. I know she is open to me banging her friends, but she doesn't go out of her way to help me with that. I only talked about banging one of her friends, but she somehow went to Turkey and got pregnant by a guy there. I'm only reading this now because I am going back to Santa Marta this Friday, and I will bang her, and see if I can get some of her friend's numbers. I'm going to ask her to take me to Taganga again. I personally would not go there by myself. Especially with all of my luggage that I have.

[QUOTE=Rover2;2056619]That would be great. Please let us know and thank you.

So I can check this place out on Friday for sure.
Luckily my lady friend says she will set me up with friends. But that won't quite be the same. Anyways, I will go to check on Bananas on Friday and let you guys know.
The place known as Banana's is closed for sure. But I have not been there in the past, so you guys can help me out. As you know most of the buildings here in Santa Marta are not marked with an address number. So I did not see an address on the suspected buildings, but I found some nearby.
In my pictures is a blue building, and it has a sign saying it was sealed. Was that Bananas? 2 buildings over is a bar called Old's Bar. I later asked a guy there and he said that was Banana's before. I don't know if I he meant the owners moved it there, or it is the same building. In the Old's Bar there are no strippers or anything, but a lot of freelancers. I'd say I seen about 30 women, and about 40 guys. Some were decent looking. They mostly looked like hardened has beens that wouldn't get picked in Medellin or Cali. Maybe you would see them in the streets of Medellin or Bogota. I don't know why I picked a girl there, I did not go in there ready. I didn't take any magic pills, and I had been drinking beer, which beer is a big no no for me and sex. Plus I had been sweaty. I only went in there to investigate. Anyways, I seen a decent looking girl from Cali. The way she was dressed it was near impossible to tell if she had a natural body or not. The price quoted was 110 K total price for 40 minutes. You leave the bar and go to the building next door to the right. I was thinking to myself, hey I'm not ready. Dumb me. She took off her clothes and I see the fake tits. No problem, then I see a fake ass. Big problem for me. In the bed she was about as robotic as can be. It is weird that she wanted her face nowhere near mine. Anyways, I knew I wasn't going to get a field goal with her.
Later I did find a bar with all Venezuelan girls next to my Airbnb. I want to see what happens with that tonight. I spent a couple hours there but I didn't want to take a girl out there. I was not 'ready' for sure, even though a girl gave me a boner a few times. We agreed to meet today, but you know how that goes. She did say they have rooms next door and they also live next door. That will be a new report after I actually bang one of them. I will be prepared tonight.
I just seen an article, it is in Spanish, so I used Google Translator. The club called Dubai was closed recently because there was a tampered or bad bottle of liquor that killed someone.
Link to article: https://www.publimetro.co/co/noticias/2017/06/30/murio-intoxicado-al-consumir-licor-adulterado-bar-santa-marta.html
I was wondering last night why some Colombian guys were inspecting their bottle very carefully before accepting it. And the guy serving me a beer told me to watch him as he opened the bottle. I understand the 'street smarts', but I hate being somewhere that you have to be careful and paranoid about this. Last night I ordered a Gatorade for me and a Venezuelan girl, and a beer for me. I didn't open my Gatorade yet, but was drinking my beer. After a few minutes my girl says where is my Gatorade. She asked the bar tenders and servers and they said they didn't know. Someone stole my Gatorade. The next time I got a Gatorade I made sure to open it and drink some of it immediately. The Venezuelan girl herself said these other Venezuelan girls are very bad. But, behind her back other girls where giving me the "she is crazy" sign. Some girls were trying to steal me away by pulling up their dresses revealing no panties and stuff. I'll go back to the Venezuelan bar tonight and not mess around much, I will try to bang a girl first, without hanging out very long. After I learn the prices and stuff I'll write back.
Last night I found a club near my Airbnb. Looking at Google street maps it was a restaurant not long ago. Now there are no business signs. The guy working there said the name of the club is Puerta Del Colombia, but used to have a name Abalonia. It is on Calle 12, about 5 doors away from Carrera 5.
If you look on Google maps for Restaurante Diego Broaster, that is now this new bar. You would not find this place unless the bar is open, there are no signs now. The hours are 9 PM - 5 AM every day. I had to go twice to get better answers. I was told twice that all the ladies are from Venezuela. But the girl I went with today was from Medellin. So I asked her about the girls. There seems to be about 18 girls that work full time (contracts). Three of them are Colombianas, the others are from Venezuela. Last night, not tonight at about 3 AM or so a lot of other girls started to come in there. Then there are other women that come and go as they please. Today I was there from about 10 PM - 1 AM. It seemed a little slow compared to the night before. This kind of seems like a place to go for after hours. Yesterday I didn't leave until 5 AM and it still had plenty of customers. The bar just closes down it's roll down doors as needed.
Last night I met a Venezuelan lady and we agreed to meet today. But, she says she had phone problems of sorts. We talked earlier in the day but she stopped responding to me before we were going to meet. Anyways, I show up at the bar at 10 PM today and I didn't see her, but I seen another girl that I also wanted to bang. At first she seemed hesitant. Maybe she was worried the other girl would show up. Anyways I found out the girl I went with today is from Medellin. It didn't surprise me much. I was admiring her body a lot, so it figures that she is from Medellin. The price quoted was 70 K for 20 minutes. That isn't enough time for me. So I asked about 45 minutes. She seemed to invent a price. She said 100 K for 40 minutes. Sounded good to me, I was ready. The night before she was pulling up her dress and she wasn't wearing panties. I already knew what the ass looked like. I also had to pay for the room which is 20 K. The room is about typical for these places, and thankfully had air conditioning. The service just seemed standard to me, nothing special. CBJ and some light kisses once in awhile. She was enjoying the riding though. She came after a few minutes, only caring about herself really. Then we got to fuck how I like to fuck some (her on top, body close) then she wanted to fuck more than way she likes (her on top sitting straight up). I was about to come and she was about to come, but I had to make her stop because I definitely needed to do her doggy style. She was a little agitated that I stopped her. Anyways did some doggy and I knew the damn condom is too small. I swapped condoms for mine and she didn't mind. I got my field goal.
We went back to the bar and as soon as I walked in the, I have to call her "crazy Venezuelan" girl sees us walk in. She was like oh no. What happened? She knew what happened. Then I showed her I had been sending her messages and she claimed to have phone problems. The Colombian girl quickly split and didn't hang around. So I hung out with the Venezuelan girl for an hour. For some reason she only wants to drink Gatorade, but she acts like she is somewhat crazy or drunk. The night before other girls were giving hand gestures that this girl is crazy. I started to get bored after awhile and I kept eyeing another girl that I would call a 10 if she was a couple years older. There is a really good looking girl named Valeria that is about as sexy as a woman can look, but she looks to be about 18 or 19. I guess prefect for me would be about 22 or 23 years old. She might be one of the Colombianas because her best friend seems to be the Medellin girl that I fucked.
Summary: There is a club named Puerta Del Colombia, which the guy said used to be called Abalonia. Hours 9 PM - 5 AM every day. About 18 permanent ladies, and free lancers come in I guess when other places that they work close. Mostly Venezuelan ladies. Prices for this gringo was 70 K for 20 minutes, 100 K for 40 minutes. 20 K for the room. Beers went from 5 K - 6 K. Gatorades seem popular here and those are 7 K. The air conditioning was pretty good here. The Google street view shows the place Restaurante Diego Broaster. This is now the new bar, address is CL. 12 #5-11, Santa Marta.
I went to La Puerta Del Colombia again for my 3rd time. Address is Calle 12, Carrera 5 #11. That equals building #11 on Calle 12.
I was hoping I wouldn't see the crazy Venezuelan girl again, name Patricia. But she saw me very quickly and there was no escaping her. I really want to bang a girl named Valeria there. Anyways I eventually asked Patricia how much and she said 70 K, then she for whatever reason changed it to 60 K for 20 minutes. I thought she said 30 minutes though. Anyways, it was 60 K total for me. For some reason the girl paid up 20 K to the hotel place. The first time I took a girl there the girl said 70 K for 20 minutes, 100 K for 40 minutes, and 20 K for the room. So, do your negotiating. Patricia has 3 kids, so think about that, but she still had a pretty good body. She actually BBBJ. I've had 3 Venezuelan women in Colombia, and they all did BBBJ. Overall it was an OK time. Bring your own condoms though, their condoms suck, I mean, are lousy.
We went back to the bar afterwards and I just had to keep looking at Valeria when I could. She was not very happy about a hideous looking guy picked her to go do the nasty. I will need to go back at least one more time and let the crazy Venezuelan girl that I am going to bang Valeria. I might have to buy them both a drink or something. This place feels like a buy me drink type bar, but I don't know if they get any commission or anything.
Gagoo,
Excellent reporting. I've been meaning to visit Santa Marta and Cali and both your reports have been helpful. One burning question: are you mostly sticking to day game? Both your reports for Santa Marta and for Cali appear to take place well inside of these cities. From what I understand they're not safe at night.

I have only seen them start up in the evening when people are getting off work.
Cali has a few places such as Dr. Amor and the downtown bars open in the daytime. Other places where the girls sleep on the premises start to open in the evening as well.
All these places (downtowns and red lights of Cali, Bogota, Medellin, Santa Marta) that you guys claim are not safe at night I have been going to for years at night, alone, and have never had a problem.

Both your reports for Santa Marta and for Cali appear to take place well inside of these cities. From what I understand they're not safe at night.[/QUOTE]As Mr Enternational said, the places I went to are night time places. The girls live there or in the area and have to go to work every night and work late, then they sleep all day. I've seen some of the girls here in Santa Marta that work in the bar, hang out during the day though. The one girl that I want to bang hangs around the pier, it seems like one of the guys working at the restaurant there might be like a boyfriend of sorts. I haven't had any problems so far. It isn't easy to learn where to stay away from, but one way to learn is ask people where to stay away from, and walk around during the day time and get the feel of the place. I felt safe in most places in Cali and I have walked around 2 AM without issues. But in Cali I would not be walking around some of the Centro areas or parks at night. If you are a little scared, just bring the stuff you need, so if someone robs you can let them have it all and not care. I don't do many day time things much unless I have someone I know come visit me, or once in awhile in Medellin I'll go somewhere in the afternoon. I usually don't wake up until 11 or 12 anyways.
Before I left Santa Marta, I went to the place called Old's Bar for my second time. See my previous reports. This time I only seen about half the number of girls, but there weren't many customers either. I seen the same as before, and a few I haven't seen before. Once again they girls look and act hardcore. None of them ever talk to you, you must talk to them. Even the girl I fucked before just looked at me hoping I would maybe give her the signal. I'm not sure if they don't approach you as to not have problems with the police or something. I didn't bother with anyone there on my second trip there. I was in the area and just went in for a look. On Thursday of last week I went back to La Puerta Del Colombia again. Address is Calle 12, Carrera 5 #11. This time about 4 of the girls I knew before weren't there, but I seen 4 new ones. I really had my mind set on banging Valeria, but she wasn't there, and the crazy Venezuelan girl wasn't there either. The Colombiana I fucked there before was there though. A girl I had been staring at previously was there, she is is Venezuelan, but oddly she looks like a Filipina chick. I banged her. She is a sexy little woman. I opted for the 120 K total price for 40 minutes and room fee. She sure was lazy as hell. She acted good in the club, but in the room she was lazy. She wanted to eat her food first, so we sat about 5 minutes with me just touching her up. Then I had to get more aggressive with her. She was still lazy and did the bare minimum. She is sexy though, so I was able to finish. I came close to cumming, and I didn't want to lose my chance to cum, by changing positions with this lousy performer. So I only banged her with her on top. Out of all the Venezuelan girls I have banged in Colombia, she was the only lousy one I have had. It took the crazy Venezuelan girl 2 days to message me back, but she said she was in Parque de Novios that night. I'm not sure if they actually get a night off or work or what. But the new Venezuelan girls did look very good also. But, they look really new to the game and might, or might not be bad performers.
As extra info, I did see some, but very few freelancers in Parque de Novios, and Parque Simon Bolivar and some walking up and down the Malecon on Rodadero. On my last 2 nights in Santa Marta I stayed at an Airbnb in the Condominio Santa Maria del Mar, in Rodadero. They make you wear wristbands, and I don't think you have a chance of getting a girl to your room unless you pull some tricks or something.
My first Airbnb was less than minute walk to the bar called La Puerta Del Colombia. I was used to the area, but after going to Rodadero and taking a taxi back to the club, the taxi driver asked me if I am sure this is where I want to go, and told me it is very dangerous here and he was hesitant to let me out. I told him I am sure and he let me out, then he told me to be careful and walk very fast (I just asked him to drop me off at the corner, not at the club). He actually watched me to see what would happen because there were some guys on the street, but they work for the club. So, I have to say be careful around there. When I left I asked the owner to help me get a taxi. Then I found out he speaks English. He lived in the US before.
My friend and I took a Express bus to Santa Marta from Barranquilla on a Marsol minibus / van. It cost 20 k one way and took two hours. Stayed on the playa rodadero. We hit Tayrona until nightfall came back and walked along the beach seeing if we can find any walkers. We didn't find any but guys were offering chicas all over the place. We asked this one guy to get the girls number so we can see pictures and she was ok. Not my type and wanted 150 k for one hour. If anyone wants her number just PM me.
Dulce Bar (didn't get actual address, ask a taxi driver he will know).
One guy we met told us he worked at a place called dulces bar where there are girls for like 100-200 an hour. So we took a Taxi down there. This waiter who looked like Tony Robbins with horrible breath harassed us for drinks. I don't drink but paid 10 k for a Coke. Everything else was more or just as expensive. There were about 15-20 girls there. All doable. Varied looks from all walks of Colombian and Venezuelan life. No old looking woman all of them looked 25 and younger. My friend sessioned with Blanco Venezuelan with blue eyes and curly hair. Pretty. She said 150 k for 30 minutes and offered him bareback for 200 k. I went with 20 year from Barranquilla with braces curly hair brown skin bubble butt medium size breast that had a little sag to them. Cost me 100 k for 30 minutes. She wanted to stay with me for 400 k I bargained her down to 300 k and told her I would call her after I would text her later. You can session in the club they have rooms or take out. I didn't ask takeout fee I just got the girls number.
Bananas Cra. 2 #2-49, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia.
Next we went to Bananas. We were planning on going to the location Gagoo reported but we didn't make it there. Bananas is a bar set up. When went in there were about 20 girls and about 2-3 other guys there. The girls here were cheaper about 90-120 k from 30 minutes to an hour. I went with a chocolate beauty from Cali. 20 year old. Tight pussy. Aimed to please. Paid 100 k for 30 minutes. My friend went with her friend they had similar looks but his was 26 and didn't have all her curves. 100 k for 30 minutes. Other woman offered cheaper but that chocolate body was everything LOL.
I was tired by this point and didn't call the girl from dulce over and had a great night of lonely rest.
*The pink underwear is the girl from dulce.
*Red bikini is from bananas.
*The others are from the WhatsApp girl near rodadero.
Global,
Great read! I'm going solo to Santa Marta and I was wondering what is the best area to get an ARBNB or guest friendly hotel. Can you help me out? It's not my first time to Colombia but it is my first time to Santa Marta.
[QUOTE=Gagoo;2057963]I just seen an article, it is in Spanish, so I used Google Translator. The club called Dubai was closed recently because there was a tampered or bad bottle of liquor that killed someone.

I was wondering last night why some Colombian guys were inspecting their bottle very carefully before accepting it. And the guy serving me a beer told me to watch him as he opened the bottle.
d k.[/QUOTE]Club Dubai did close in July 2017 but has re-opened as of Nov 2017. I am happy to report I drank a Gatorade and survived.
A couple of young flaquitas there that caught my eye and be / see of proximity to border—some Venezuelans. Cost is 150 k (USD $50 ! 40 min which includes rooms on premises. Can't be that price for 2 o yr old spinners.
If you are staying in Rodadero part of Santa Marta this is much more convenient then trekking to Parqu Novios area and Bananas. That area is a great hipster / happy hour area, but bananas was just filled w oldies in the 5, 6 range when I popped in.
I believe there is also a club Troyas near Club Dubai, ask the girls there as some work at both but I didn't hit it.
Just note that unlike Cartagena, not a lot of, or any, gringos in Santa Marta so you will need some Spanish or 3 g data to power google translates. Also, unlike, Bogota and Medellin, couldn't use Uber here.
I was planning on staying in Santa Marta for a day or so on the way to La Guajira, but it looks like they've been actively busting girls there, especially Venezolanas. Any more recent info?

There are a number of independent girls in Rodadero. Find them on co. [URL]mileroticos.com[/URL] and contact them on whatsapp. Some have apartments where you can go, others will only come to you.
I've also seen streetwalkers in Santa Marta in the area between Parque de LOS Novios and the beach.

If girls are your priority (as opposed to beach, food and nightlife) Barranquilla would make a better stopover. As a mongering destination Santa Marta ranks way down the list.

Let me tell you, Santa Marta is SLEPT ON! It is overflowing with Venezeula girls that are WAY more open and desperate for cash.
Ok so I was in Barraquilla but was not really feeling the city. I happened to swipe right last week on a Non Pro todo Naturale PERFECT 10 that lived in Santa Marta. I spent 20 K to take a bus 2 hours to Santa marta and found a cheap apartment all to myself for 17 bucks a night. Air Conditiing in a must. This place is nothing to write home about to but it provides a central location everything. It is an Air BNB alright. Air Conditioning, Beaches and Brothels!
Banana's 70 K 20 min 100 45 min 150 1 hour.
OK, so I go to this club that used to be banananas or whatever it is now. It is hard to figure out the identity because there is no sign but one waiter wears a Bananas Shirt and the other one has a Club Dubai Shirt. I order a beer and just walk the club, no table. I like to watch. The Dj is really good and actually mixes songs an is passinate about his work. So it feels more like a party and less like an afterthough of an outdates version of itunes with lots of dead air in between songs running on a 2005 black macbook with a cracked screen.
The LI is SICK. Around 11 pm there are 23 girls, Colombian and Venezualans. The scales are tipped heavy in the VNZ favor. 6's or better and some SOLID 8's and even a Dr Frankenstein FREAK of plastic surgery girl that is 5 9 with heels, DD tits coke cola shape with a waist to ass ratio that looks like a corset without the corset. You can tell whos the Venezuelans by the nose. I speak with a real cutie pie who is a little bit carmel but super poilite coasteano. She is real with me, tells me her real name, tells me how she doesn't like working there but needs money and offers her # to me for just hanging out. We give each other a kiss before we leave which we both agree was weird but felt right. There was chemistry. She went on stage after in her stripper clothes and had to give lapdances. I watched her from afar, she saw me looking and winked then rolled her eyes at me as she had to give a geriatric a lap dance. This guy was old as fuck and lost his virginity when Lincoln was in office.
Puera Del Colombia.
Ok so I go outside and the cool ocean breeze is just what I need. I let the night lead me and head over to that spot that Puerta Del Colombia (Google maps Resturante diego broasters) The energy in here is good, lots of people, all the tables and chairs are filled. There is about 12 girls there. Nothing that really catches my eye. The guy at the door got me in, gave me a beer and waited a long time to actually charge me. The girls were a nice balance of relaxed and aggressive. Some walking by, grabbing my cock, others just rubbing their tits against me as they walk by. It was all good. The music was pretty good too with a nice mix. I was about to give in and leave when a SMOKE hot 9 with tits on legs walks in. I see her make eye contact, she is about to come to me in almost slow motion fashion then. 5 feet from me BAM a 22 yo backwards hat wearing local beats me to the punch. He whispers in her ear and they go upstairs. Dam shit out of luck. Again HEAVY Venezuelan population.
Ok, I hit the street and get approached by some SW. Nothing I like but it is nice to know there are places nearby. I walk by a resturuant and see a smoke hot coasteno having dinner with her friend at 1 am. I Lie that I want to get some food just to talk. I make an order and get her whatsapp. I figured I would talk to her the next day. Instead she invites me to Alibana club. She is dancing and hypnotising me with her hips. Long story short I have a date with her next week but she is weird and complicated and her friend tells me she hasn't had a BF in 2 years. So here is to that.
Veronica & Valeria 200 plus 20 for motel.
OK so lets get in the meat of it. I happened to swipe right on a Venezuelan with super fake tits ass package. She has a great deal, 100 for her, oral naturale plus facail OR 200 for a Trio with her amiga. Who wouldn't take that deal?
So I head over to Parque Gaira. She says she has a short term hotel she works out of there. The area looks sketchy but it is in the middle of the day and I am on alert. She says to go behind the libriray. I do, and finally I see her. Her.
Name is Veronica, She is 4'9 with a giant man made ass and tits. She looks like she will topple over if pushed in the wrong direction. We walk to the hotel and I see her friend that is going to Join us, Valeria. A tall and skinny slightly darker Venezuelan. She has braces, a pretty face and is 22. The "hotel" is a joke. It looks like the after math of a shoot out on a Michael Bay film that was set in a hostel. Walking towards the room there is a guest of the hotel just outside watching TV and staying in a posed position on the couch. We go into the room, thru a kitchen and into the bedroom. The bedroom has 2 seperate bunkbed setups. There is an airconditioner but it is taking forever to cool down the room. Veronica is setting things up and is playful. She kisses me and takes her giant ass and throw it into my dick. Valeria is a bit timid but cool. I didn't bring condoms and I give Veronica 4 peso to get some, she disappears and Valeria and me start to kiss a bit. Not much tounge but it is ok. Veronica returns and is complimenting my looks, my hair and my eyes. I really love the weakness that latian girls have for blue eyes and it is something I am thankful for everyday. So there we are on a queen size bunkbed, trying not to hit my head. I am laying down with 2 girls. Our clothes are on and I talk a bit with Veronica and Valera, both do not know one word fo english. But it is fun and my Spanish is good enough for jokes and laughing. We hop off the bed and get undressed, the bunk bed would not allow otherwise. We are all naked and I have my boxers on. Veronica's tits while huge have a bit distortion on her areloas from a botched surgery, they are very sensative and I think she just had a touch up, I can smell the plastic in them when I suck. Valeria has be cup, a cute tight ass, very small strech marks and a tatto of her sons name on her. She tells me I am the first gringo she ever has had and I feel it is my duty to live up to the good things she has heard about white guys. She can't get over how white my skin is and is very happy. Veronica is sort of the Showrunner of this 3 some and I get out her way and let her manage the events. After kissing Veronica and Valeria, Veronica heads for my Johnson. She inspects and rave's to Valeria how clean I am. I tell her yes I shower often and shave and my hygeine is very important. She is estatic as she gives me a very passionate BJ. I instruct Valeria to sit on my face and lick her very tight tiny clit. She taste amazing like musty strawberries. She is really enjoying it and I am moaning from the greatness that is Veronica's BJ skills. I then instruct Valiera to start sucking so I can play with Veronica. Valiera gives an almost same on par BJ and I lightly suck and kiss Veronica's sensitive tits. I ask for them to give me a double blowjob and the girls get right to it. One on dick and one on nuts. Alternating. This goes on for a solid 6 minutes. Really, the double blowjob is the move in a 3 some. Veronica gets the condom and while she does I start to suck Valeria's tits and kiss her. Veronica mounts me reverse cowgirl and I continue to lick Valeira pussy. Next Veronica gets to missionary and as I am fucking her hard she makes a joke about me chocking her. I really rail her and as I catch my breath Valeia deep kisses me. We are all having fun. NExt its Valria's turn. I have to hault the action while we switch condoms. I guess they do not watch to share pussy juice internally or it is to prevent a yeast infection. Either way, I am cool. Start with Valiera Missionary. She has a really tiny pussy with tiny labia. I go in slow and kiss her brace lips slightly. I can tell she does not want to taste her own pussy on my breath but it is so sweet. I start to go harder as Veronica instruts me "duro durio" I really go into her and I love is they each take turns wiping my brow filled with sweat. Next Valeria requrest cuatro. She laughs as I knew what she said. I go hard on her and with Veronica on the side playing with herself I start to rub her pussy. Veronica wants me to fuck Valeira until I cum and cum on her back and on tits but I say I want them both facing me. {I love this part}, With them laying down facing me, Veronica is jerking me while Valeria is crattling my balls. It Feels amazing, Veronica is telling me she wants me to cum on both of them as she controls the dick. And Right then I am about to cum, I spray soo much and then Veronica takes all my cum and aims it right at Valeria and gets it only on her! Haha Valeria laughs like "wtf" and while veronica thinks she escapes it and moves, laughing. Bam shit knocks her head. Instant Karma! The girls shower, We lay down, kiss carress. I thank them. As we exit the hotel, I see the guy from before and he is totally catatonic watching TV. I kiss them both goodbye and jump into a taxi and head to my date with a real non pro. 10 or 10 doing it again, we all have great chemistry but I will pick the motel next time.
Perfect 10 Tinder date.
After several days of dealing with this girls over protective mother not letting her leave the house, the pay off comes. She meets me at Bueno Vista Mall. Gets out of the taxi and I swear, is a PERFECT 10 Pochahontas Paisa looking girl. She is a dead ringer for that colombian pornstar "luchy" aka Isabella Obregon. But EVEN PRETTIER. I think, out of all the years she is the hotest one I ever been with. She os 5 3, about 99 pounds soaking wet with high cheekbones, see cup tits and a smile that glows in a room. I really can not fucking belive. She is 19 and has only fucked one other dude. Holy fuck, she is in for someone that will rattle her. She gets super shy when I loook at her in the eyes. We did not fuck yet but our fist meeting hat intese flirgting, touching and kissing her was like kissing clouds of pure passion. I can not belive this girl, and last month two guys robbed her of her cell phone and left her with a nasty cut on her abdomen and her wrist. I bought her a rob from the mall for like 30 bucks and she reacted like I just bought her a house. I'm pretty sure I have a reason to come back to Santa Marta now. She is too innocent for me not to. Jeeezz.

I really love places like these where there isn't TOO much gringos everywhere. I think I just got tired of Medellin and not being as special anymore. Have you been to Calle 9 ? It is literally impossible to find colombians. It's all aussies and smelly backpakcers and blah.
Santa Marta, while it is hot as fuck, I think it is easier to be special and stand out here. DAMN. Also despite it being on the coast, you can still find pleanty of Mona's (White skin girls) here. Hit me up when you are in town and ill guide you.

Banana's.
Josephine 90 K.
The little gem off the coast of Colombia In Santa Marta that is Banana's strikes again. I have started to make friends with the girls at Banana's. Collecting #'s and seeing them in the streets. Santa Marta is a small town so if you are in the center during the day you are bound to run into one. It turns out Banana's has a hostel style setup for the girls so they live and work all in the same building in Separate apartments that are attached to the club.
Thursday night, I was there for a about 2 hours or so, having drinks, standing at the bar, watching the girls who get purchased for their time etc. I didn't find anyone I clicked with, but I decided to do one last round. Wow, it was soo worth it. I spot this girl with glasses but she is skinny, petite and I dunno something about her. I approach and speak with her. She is a white skin mona venezeulan chica. 20 yo 5 3 95 lbs All naturale be cups, firm ass with NO kids. Finally no fucking kids. It feels like every girl I been meeting has kids. Anyway I buy her a drink we sit in a booth for about an hour and talk, connect. I can tell we really click. Finally I decide to take her and we go upstairs. It is a weird setup cause you have to go outside the club door then next door then upstairs to seperate apartments.
Before I let her know I like oral and faicals and she si cool with it. I was feeling a bit sweaty though but we couldn't get a room with a shower. So As it turns out ALL the rooms are occupied so we had to use the room that was being used by the mamasan on the floor for dishing out condoms etc. Chipped paint ceiling, a fan and an AC that barely works. Haha We laughed cause we could hear the people outside but didn't care. We were too horny.
We start kissing for 5 minutes, very very romantic like a valentines date. She goes after my Johnson and I remove her top to reveal perfect pink pencil eraser nipples. I suck and bitw and kiss very romantic. She removes her glasses. I SWEAR she is 100 X hotter without them. It is like a magic trick. Anyway we keep at it and she starts right away and starts sucking me, Very very rapid total naturale. Normally I do not like it this fast but the way she has it, its pretty good. I am feeling frisky and decide to lick her box a bit. I can tell she is not wanting it too much as the sweat from downstairs has made me and her a bit musty. It is ok, cause its not like really terrible, just the normal sweat that comes from being outside in crazy heat. Anyway, rubber goes on and I plug deep inside her tight box. She has such a tight pussy that I really have to go a couple times to get all the way inside her. I finally do and really plow her. It is a mix of suave and duro. She gets on top and I tell her she is my VNZ novia. She goes crazy and really gets into it. We do sideways doggystlye. Eventaully she wants me to finish and cum on her whole body. I try to but these condoms in Colombia suck. She eventually goes back to blowoing me. There is a knock in the door and we have to hurry. I don't like the rush but somehow I manage to shoot an 8 ropper custard cumshot all over her!! We clean up and go back downstiars to the club. We get water and I leave around 2:30. I saw her today for the lunch. She was smoking hot, and it was nice to treat her, because she doesn't go to any restaurants or anything.
For now she is coming to my apartment later and doesn't want money but wants to fuck me still, so it's a good thing. Anyway if you dig the community vibe you can get from Santa Marta, the scene really is great and slept on.
Best hunting guys.
Hi,
Many super spinners? Like under 100 lb micro hotties?

[QUOTE=DrMcNaughty;2217130]Hi,
Many super spinners? Like under 100 lb micro hotties?[/QUOTE]Yes! Saw a few at bannanas. There was one that was micro spinner like 4 8 95 lbs. So tiny you might step on her.
I was in Santa Marta recently for a few days. The street action is concentrated around bolivar park and side streets nearby. I asked for prices and was quoted 20 k by the uglier women up to 50 k for the better looking ones. I wouldn't rate any of the women I saw as better than a 6 apart from a hot african chick I saw but didn't get a chance to ask her. I prefer the uglier types and did a small plump mestizo type. We agreed 30 k for BBBJ and bareback. She did ok BBBJ then let me bb her a bit but then reneged, so I was a bit disappointed. I stuck on rubber and did her doggy.
Along the beach road there are bars that tend to be frequented by colombians with few gringos. The beers are cheap and they are nice places for people watching. Saw a few pros walk up and down and stand around the bars and the waitress asked if I wanted them to sit with me. I befriended an older hooker at a bar on the corner of beach road and calle 11. I bought her a beer and she showed me the brothel around the corner with some hot chick and gave me helpful information on local stuff. She said the girls in the brothel were about $100 if I wanted all night. I guess they were a lot cheaper for short time.

There you seem to know your way around. I'm planning a 3 day trip there. Where would you suggest I stay? Also will most Airbnb be guest friendly. Is it point and click or just go to casas? Appreciate your help thanks.
As far as I could tell in my recent visit to Santa Marta, Bananas is pretty much the main game in town in terms of a nightclub with available chicas. Maybe 20 girls there after 9 pm. The best by far I saw was Helen, a tall blonde girl with glasses, tight body and a huge ass. She was total GFE and her IOP was off the charts. Her ability to know what to do to drive a guy crazy was remarkable. When I asked her who taught her this stuff, she said she learned by watching American-made pornos. She was outstanding!

I actually stayed in like the cheapest shitty Airb&be that was like $15 a night haha. But it is not for everyone.
If you don't care about budget then stay in the Hilton. However if you want to get an airbnb its like just make sure it has AC. The closer you get to Parque Novio the louder it gets. So a few blocks away before it ususally a good place to start.
I have girls in Bananas I talk to still and they have been telling me it's slow so the girls are DESPERATE! So you can get a good price.
Nice to know this place, Bananas, has reopened. I remember the small apartment where they all lived right down the street from the bar. One time, I was shopping in a small mercado and the girl who was my clerk I spotted in Bananas later that evening. The apartment did not look very nice inside or outside. I stayed across the street from the bar and apartment at a real nice boutique hotel called Casa Isabella and there was a sign prominently displayed above the front desk that said no walk ins more or less.
I ignored it and brought back a nice looking MDE girl from Bananas without an issue though she was quite attractive and had a
Non P4 P, which helped a lot. Most of the girls in the bar were low class and frankly given the town and location in Colombia, one wonders how they get anybody to hang their hat there. I think some ex Peace Corps were involved in this hotel and it's pretty nice. One of the suites has a private pool and the hotel has a small pool for all the guests.
I went to Santa Marta twice on trips to CTG for a diversion. It seemed hotter, if that is possible. But def cheaper for hotels, bars, restaurants etc. There is a really dumpy coffee town in the mountains above SM but it is cooler there and you can also hike on a dirt path / road to a nice lagoon to swim. From this village, one can see the beach and part of SM below. But would never want to stay there. Can't see returning to SM though. Just not enough going on. Oh, one more thing. On my Jeep ride up to the town, I spotted these two incredible looking girls walking down the dirt track trail from a local school. They were wearing the type of short plaid skirts one would normally see in a strip bar with tight white overflowing blouses. I could not believe their outfits! Best part of my day, if I recall.

They were wearing the type of short plaid skirts one would normally see in a strip bar with tight white overflowing blouses. I could not believe their outfits! Best part of my day, if I recall.[/QUOTE]Also found a great Airbnb for 40 a night that doesn't mind guest in. Rodadero right by the beach. The map says it's a 12 min ride to bananas (bad spelling LOL) is this good?
[QUOTE=Starlord1;2226485]Would you say, its a good 3 day layover stop to Mde. I need to burn 3 days from ctg. I didn't want to stay all that time there. I was going to do 4 days in Ctg then head to Santa Marta for 3 days then to Mde. I was going to just do beach and tourist stuff in SM and monger at night.[/QUOTE]If you went for the weekend, 3 days is tolerable but weekdays are slow. You can also go further up the coast to see some of national beach parks (Tayrona? There are several inexpensive hotels close to Bananas and Parque Novia.

I don't mind it being slow actually. This might be a good time for me to wife this chica I met in Bogota. To just chill with her before I go back to whoring LOL.
Checked out Santa Marta briefly.
It's a sleepy town compared to CTG, but the lively Parque de Novios area is a block from Bananas, making it possible to combine the hobby and some recuperative food / drink / time outside. There's a string of bars along the beach road also, a couple of blocks further away.
Bananas is indeed (re?) open, in the same place it was before. It's the blue building in old forum photos and google maps has it in the right spot. No sign. Next door (north) is attached short-time hotel, and next to that is Old's Bar. I checked one weekday and Bananas was closed at 6:30 pm (door closed and locked), but was open at 8:30 pm (door open, doorman) when I checked back.
25-30 girls, only a few guys at first, a few more later, but favorable ratio. Girl told me that there's more guys on the weekend. Good variety of girls, from some flaquitas to some near-obese, huge-chested pale-skinned chicks of the kind you see all over the streets of American cities in the summer. One red-haired (dyed). 2-3 morenas. Only a handful of Venezuelanas (4-6 that I could recognize). Club Colombia costs 6 K in cans.
My chica told me that besides Bananas, the only other place of note was Club Dubai in Rodadero.
Walked by Old's at 1:30 pm one day and it was closed, but open sign was lit at 3:30 pm another day, and a girl was peeking out the door. Checked back that day at 6:30 pm and there were only 2 large women (busy at a table with guys), a female bartender, and one slender girl (a 6-7) unoccupied. Too quiet, too early, and the peeking girl from earlier was missing, so I didn't stay.
Had somebody in Parque Novios hand me a flier for Puerta del Colombia. Made no mention of ladies, just drink and event specials.
A few girls working in Parque Novios, mixed with regular people. Look for the usual signs. I saw an old white dude at a restaurant table gesture over a pretty flaquita from a pair that were walking past. She came over quickly, not much hesitation. Saw her walk off with her friend a bit later, so no deal. I wonder why. I would have pursued her myself but already had an agenda. Some older, less attractive SW also. After closing time, there was a cutie who made eye contact, she and her friend came my way, and if I hadn't had so much to drink I would have pursued. As it was she followed (trailing along) until I left the square area. Regrets.
Have fun, be safe, be kind to the girls.
Easiest hobby scene anyplace I had three cuties from the Parque all wanting to come back for seconds and thirds. $30 bucks. Olde's bar was cool too. Of course if you are a drunk dumb gringo, maybe you will have a harder time. The place is loaded with women, pro or no, they are almost all available if you at least look decent.

Hi all,

Thanks.
Hi all,
Would I be right in thinking that the 3 best options in Santa Marta right now are the following:
- Tinder girls;.

- Girls hanging out in Parque de LOS Novios.
Has anyone tried ColombianCupid or SeekingArrangement for this town?

In a painful event that has caused consternation in the city and which is the subject of investigation by the authorities, a young man was found dead in the rooms of the Hotel Panamerican Historical Center of Santa Marta.
The victim was the young business administrator Fernando José theíaz Camargo, 33, graduated from Sergio Arboleda University, and son of the deceased merchant Gustavo theíaz Segovia and Miryan Camargo de theíaz.
The tragedy that today mourns the Diaz Camargo family was presented yesterday at 1:45 on Saturday afternoon, after his brothers found him unconscious in one of the rooms of the hotel located in Race 1 No. 18-23, where he also resided, and he was transferred to the emergency room of the El Prado clinic, where the doctors in turn indicated that he had no vital signs and formalized his death.
It was learned that the previous night Fernando José was chatting with some women, and apparently they gave him scopolamine and stole several belongings, including his high-end cell phone, wallet and other objects.
When his brothers noticed the time, it was strange why Fernando José had not woken up, so they immediately entered his room and found him dead; However, hoping to try to save his life and know what happened to him, he was taken to the medical center where he was informed that he had died hours before.
For their part, investigators from the CTI of the Prosecutor's Office and the SIJIN are already in charge of the case, to try to establish the motives, and find those responsible for this crime.
The Police reported that they are reviewing the hotel security cameras as well as the adjacent sectors in order to find evidence of the people accompanying the victim.
If anyone could please kindly recommend a friendly [URL]booking.com[/URL] or airbnb or a hotel even please message me directly.
We've emailed several airbnb and they've all replied girls not allowed.
Thanks in advance.
I have lived and mongered in a lot of places around the world. And most places in Colombia. Save yourselves the trouble. Don't come to Santa Marta to find chicas. I live here. There is one massage place. Full of very fat girls. So what if you find one on the street. If you find one. What for? With Cartagena, Medellin and Bogota close by. Don't even think of wasting time and money coming here (I am leaving soon after being here 8 months) The restaurants here in Rodadero are seriously awful. REALLY awful. If you are a nature lover or beach lover you can find better than this place. If looking for a longer term relationship with a nice Venezuelan. Okay, might be good for that. Short of that you have Bogota, the monger capital of Latin America, without doubt! Again, best to not get curious about Santa Marta.

I always thought the mongering was not bad in Santa Marta. Sure not as good as the other famous spots in Colombia, but not bad like you say. So I think it may be a case of a fellow trying to keep his hunting ground to himself. This is nothing new on ISG.

A lot of other posters here have raved about the availability of chicas in the place. Maybe you're a bit down on the place as you've been stuck there for 8 months (for work?) Whereas maybe a few days in the place would be enjoyable?
Apparently, there are some nice looking chicas at Bananas and Restaurante Diego Broaster. Not true? What's the name of the massage place you're talking about? Another punter on here said he took a chica back to Casa Isabella hotel with no problems. Aren't there any good places to eat in Santa Marta itself? I'm not planning on staying in Rodadero anyway. I'm going to Bogota next week for the first time, but have been put off by some of the horror stories being posted on the thread there recently.
Bogota is out of sight. Go to Estacia Chica restaurant near Parque 93 and knock you socks off. Order the USA Steak. The best on the menu. If you don't like the place. I'll pay for you. For Chicas so what if there are a few in S. M. For every one here there are 10,000 in Bogota. So why bother. And Medellin too. Great places to eat and lots of girls. And for chicas Cartagena too. So many great places in Colombia. And I have lived in the three best. If you listen to the scare talk about Bogota. Stay in a convent the rest of your life. It is stupid talk. Obviously you don't walk around with a gold Rolex nor advertise that you might be lost or something. Really, if you travel so scared you shouldn't travel. I lived in Costa Rica 11 years. You are no safer in Costa Rica than Colombia. I can give you stories about armed robbery on the streets of Escazu at 2:00 PM. Afternoon. Relax. Enjoy.
And stop listening to the riff raff.
If you were looking for a girlfriend. As in live with you.

If not Santa Marta, then definitely Cartagena or Barranquilla. Yes. Some of the advice and scare stories seems a bit extreme about Bogota.
I might pass by Santa Marta for a few days, then take the bus through Barranquilla and stay in Cartagena for 10 days or so. Is Santa Marta safe enough to walk around? I speak Spanish, and have mongered in a lot of latin america and the DR too. What about those places I mentioned there, checked them out? Are the locals friendly?
If anyone is around and looking to grab some drinks and food, share stories, let me know.
Unfortunately my Cartagena chica just went back, so I have some unexpected free time. I am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. Only got here yesterday, so learning my way around.

I have just spent 5 days in Santa Marta. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the place. I tend to travel for long periods, mostly as a tourist, but often indulge if P4P is available. I stayed in one of numerous Airbnb apartments on the seafront (formerly known as Panamerican Hotel. I didn't realise this was the place the guy was found dead recently until after a couple of days). It's an old hotel with a mix of Airbnb and long term residents. The apartment was pretty basic but had a fridge and small bathroom and was pretty clean and well looked after. Best thing was a balcony overlooking the beach. Great place for sunset. Rooms on Airbnb will set you back around $15. Location is great - 5-10 minutes to Parque de Los Novios and all the nearby bars and restaurants. It's less than 5 minutes walk from Bananas too. There were notices up saying not to allow any unauthorized visitors but I took a girl there a couple of times and no-one was around anyway.
Firstly, as a tourist, there is enough to do for a few days or longer if you fancy a couple of days by the beach at Rodedero (the beach in the old town is not great). Plenty of fine old buildings and it does seem like the town is gradually being restored to a former age. I am not one for fine dining but there are loads of mid budget restaurants and everywhere I tried was at least decent. There's loads of bars and a rooftop disco scene. All seemed friendly enough and there were far more gringos around than I was expecting.
Secondly, regarding girls, there were a few obvious SWs about in Parque de LOS Novios and along the beach but not many and certainly nothing that outstanding. I did go into Bananas and was surprised how big it was inside. Plenty of girls, although nothing 'must have'. There is no stripping here as such but if you buy a girl an (overpriced drink) she will sit with you and give lap dances etc. On the first visit I was just checking it out and it seemed friendly enough and pretty laid back. Drinks are 6 k. On my second visit I was actually pretty drunk and arranged some company with a girl in her early 20's. With no tats and real boobs. The lady drinks are priced at 15 k and with little encouragement the girls will get pretty frisky. Agreed to head upstairs - 100 k for an hour. Room was tiny but clean and did have a toilet and shower. Good session and the girl seemed pretty into it and also came back into the bar with me and stayed with me until closing. I went back a third time and the same girl pounced on me pretty quickly. It was a bit earlier than the previous night and I was keen to see if she would come back to the apartment. Got a shock when she quoted 320 k but realised this was a TLN rate. Decided I might as well go for it and it was a decision I didn't regret. A very enthusiastic partner and also turned out to be a genuine squirter. A truly memorable night. I took a break the following night as I was worn out. Repeated again on my final night. Even more intense.
OK it's only a limited amount of feedback but I would say as a tourist there is certainly enough to do for a few days and Bananas was interesting for some evening entertainment. There were plenty of girls in there and I am sure most would find something to their liking. I think I got incredibly lucky but sometimes it's just the luck of the draw and it was not cheap but still worth every peso in my opinion.
Cheers.

Oh no. Very dangerous. We lose 2 or 3 Gringos a month to savage lions that wait for dopes who don't keep their taxi windows closed. Just last year a taxi driver shot a Gringo passenger because he thought that someone as dumb as his passenger was too dangerous to be let loose in the streets of Santa Marta. Finally, about one in five passengers gets invited to the drivers house for dinner. Never realizing that he is the main course! No doubt you who asked are one of the three potential visitors who meet a terrible end here in Santa Marta. Really, do something at your safety level like Fantasy Land at Disneyland. But even there one of those Pirates of the Caribbean might get hungry for your pancreas.

Hey guys,
So I been in Santa Marta for about 2 weeks. First, I don't find that Pirate guy funny but he has some truth to what he says. Everything from Sund. Wed closes at 1 am here. Thurs. Sat everything closes around 3. There are very few street walkers if that is your thing. One curly hair morena chick hangs in front of Marley Bar in Parque De Los Novios all the time, and she is working. If she is with friends, they are working too. I have not partaken though but have been told she is working.
Bananas is OK. The talent is so-so. It closes at 1 am on Sund. Wed and Thurs. Sat at 3 am. There is an after hours club called VIP that is pretty hidden I. E. Even the police don't really know about it (at least when police were around they didn't let anyone in after 3 but when they left, they let us in). There are working girls there. I met a Venezuelan blanca chick there, was going to take her back but as we were walking to my casa which is right next to Parque De LOS Novios, I got a sense of bad attitude. I actually got a little lost, and then some touts started coming around. As I figured out where I was, I could tell she was trouble, so luckily she did not follow me and I just went in my casa without her. I think I dodged a bullet with that one. There are other Venezuelans out there but be careful. I am sure some are at Bananas and also VIP. Those are the only 2 clubs that I know of that have working girls in them. I passed by Old's Bar a few times and no one is ever there & have not tried Dubai in Roderdero (and have no idea if its still there or not).
You may get lucky and find some good girls. The tinder game here is whack. It's a small city so there are limited choices. CC is also whack here, and so is Seeking. Many Euro / Aussie tourists and some Americans running around. Regular chicks are easy to talk to in the clubs if you so wish but many are with groups though and some have boyfriends but the ones without guys are approachable if you make a move. Tourist girls are obviously available too if you want that. Many Colombians here for vacation so they come in groups. As always if your Spanish skills are good, you will have a much better time / chances. How easy it to get laid with these girls, well, you will need to put in work unless you get lucky as in any city. This definitely does not seem like the place where Colombian women will just come home with you (unless they are working). You will probably need to take them out etc. Again, if you are outgoing and just approach, you will find it easy to talk to the Colombians here. I have chatted up a few. The main clubs to talk to girls are La Puerta, Pirata, and La Brisa Loca. Eivasa is not a good place to meet girls unless you want tourists.
There are so many freaking beggars, performers, sellers here and they always are looking. They always eyeing you. It gets really annoying and OLD fast. The local touts just stay around the Parque all day and pester you. They are mostly harmless but it definitely gets annoying but hey I guess they need to eat. Don't even get me started on the molestation you will feel when at Rodedero LOL. It's literally non stop. If you think Bocagrande is bad. Do not expect any places to find working girls on the beach. It is mostly families and groups. From what I remember about Cartagena, you could have a good meal inside the Old City without being bothered. That's not possible in Santa Marta. The freaking beggars even come inside the restaurants and start asking you for stuff. Ladies with babies / kids using them to get you to give them some money or buy something not needed. It honestly needs to be regulated a bit.
Weirdly enough though, I like it here. Although there are a lot of Euro tourists, the city is not overrun with them. There are a lot of Colombian tourists here and they outnumber the gringos. I have gone to Cartagena a lot and feel its just too overrun right now. If you are only into mongering and don't want to just relax, chill, get some beach time in, and then maybe hook up here and there, this is not a place for you.

At least to people who know a Colombia a bit. I've noticed you've been posting a fair amount in the lead up to your maiden trip (especially in the Bogota thread) and commend you for trying to get all the facts right before leaving but please don't fall into outright paranoia.
Yes, Colombia can be a dangerous country but so are most other Western ones.
Yes, you hear bad stories but if you look into them, 99% of the times the gringo blatantly fucked up and lost control (booze, party favours, attitude).
Santa Marta is a completely normal (if somewhat sleepy) town with quite a few Western backpackers that use it as a starting point to explore Parque Tayrona and the Lost City. There are so many European tourists and the vibe is really laid back. Most of them are young guys (and quite a few girls. I remember a couple of stunning Swedish ladies on their gap year my first time there) who just want to have a couple of beers before leaving for their next hike. That's why the mongering is not so extensive.
You seem like a smart person (if not a bit on the apprehensive side) so you'll be completely fine. I remember coming back from a few nights out completely annihilated and nothing ever happened to me so you'll be safe.
Please don't let the few bad stories ruin what I am sure is going to be an amazing holiday.
Look forward to your report.

With Chianti.[/QUOTE] Well.....maybe one day you'll be the unsuspecting gringo, wandering aroound Rodadero with your captain Sparrow hat on, having just returned from Disneyland !!
[QUOTE=Coupe66;2295659]Thanks a lot for your advice about the place! I was just asking about whether the taxi drivers were honest enough and safe, I wasn't asking about the safety of Santa Marta itself. Still, nobody really answered answered that. Taxis can be dishonest all over the world, why should Santa Marta be any different?[/QUOTE]I feel you. My first trip to Bogota I was asking the very same question. From what I know Bogota and Armenia are probably the most two dangerous cities to take a cab in. That said my strategy is to look for a guy in his late 50's or 60's and you should be fine. Unfortunately this and most internet boards when it comes to questions about security will give you sarcastic answers from both extremes and the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
I took a taxi from the beach in Santa Marta (not Rodadero) to the airport today - 25 k.

I might be confusing it with somewhere else as I haven't been for the past 4 years. When are you going, Coupe? I'll be there in roughly two weeks time for a few days.
To be honest, I have not been mongering while in Santa Marta. I found a Euro girl and we hit it off and so been hanging with her and also just working remotely / relaxing.
Well, I went back to Bananas last night because tourists packed into Pirata and started acting like they own the place. Pirata is also so small it can get cramped. There is a hot DJ I am trying to talk to but some Euro or Aussie was chatting her up all night. Anyways, I had a few drinks so I was like let me check out Bananas.
When you go to Bananas you can sit at one of the tables or you can just order drinks at the bar. Standing at the bar is my preferred method if you are by yourself so you can freely walk around. I know the waiter and give him tips so he treats me good. Beers are 6 k. When I went the first time, I was with a friend and we sat at a table. When I asked for a trago (shot) of rum con hielo (with ice), I was told that they can only do a 1/2 bottle or full bottle and shots are not available. This is not true. You can buy a shot of rum with ice from the bar. If you sit down, you can literally just buy 1 beer and all is fine, so I am sure you can buy a shot of rum. I think it's a tactic to make you purchase a bottle. Lap dances are available here too but I don't know how much it costs. I do not believe they upcharge you to buy a drink for a lady.
Anyways, the waiter friend is from Venezuela. He told me that pretty much every girl in Bananas right now is from Venezuela. Colombians from smaller cities make up about 10% of the girls that work there. I did not realize how many Venezuelans there are there. I could tell a few were, but the rest looked like normal Colombian chicks.
Unfortunately, I saw nothing that interested me there. There was one girl that got me semi-interested but she put herself at the corner of the bar, and made it a bit hard to talk to her. I, of course, could have easily motioned to her but just wasn't that motivated. About 3 girls came to talk to me but I just told them I am chilling. No one is pushy there which I like. It is a more relaxed vibe. I will say it was mostly 5-7's. There was one stallion build woman in red who was popular but she is too "enhanced" for my taste and was also taken by a Colombian real quick. 2-3 girls were hot but gave off that harden pro vibe that you see in Costa Rica. One girl gave me some sob story but it was all basically to get a coke LOL. I had 1/2 my bottle left and just gave her that. The going rate to take a girl to the room is 100 k. The waiters say the girls negotiate that. I am not sure if the club has any set prices beyond a take out fee.
The club closes at 3 AM at latest, so really there is no need for that take out fee. If you see a girl you like, just tell her that you will meet her outside at 3. They all live like next door in a hostel. You can easily get Whatsapp numbers in here. There was some Colombian guy doing a Instagram live in there LOL. The bouncers told him to stop but didn't even kick him out. I will check it out again tonight & also check out VIP late at night. I been twice before that, and saw a few 8's so I know it's possible.
Hey there,
Will be in Santa Marta 23-27 of March if anyone wants to meet up.
PM me / post if interested.
Took a female friend from Cali to Santa Marta for a few days and had a great time. I was able to get away for dinner one day with a buddy while we let the girls hang together and do some shopping. We had dinner at a place called Lamart Restaurante which has good food. While there, I noticed a massage place right across the alley way so I stopped in to get some info for you guys.
The name of the place is Paris Masajes. The cost is 100,000 for an hour massage and blowjob or 150,000 for an hour massage and sex. They had about 5 chicas. The owner said he can call more girls and you can call them and have a girl come to your room as well.

Hey dudes, I arrived in Santa Marta this afternoon after a very short and easy flight from Bogota. I managed not to get chopped up by a taxi driver though he did charge me 30 k to the centre of town. Haven't seen any chianti anywhere, though I've heard this is for lightweights anyway.
First impressions, nice seaside town, people remind me more of Dominicans in their looks and behaviour than they do of the locals in Bogota anyway. Not too many tourists around, and haven't been hassled by any hawkers etc as others have stated, around Parque de Novios or along the beachfront. Haven't noticed any obvious talent yet, but it's only 5 pm and I've only been here an hour!
By the way, what time does Bananas open, different depending on the day of the week?
Cheers for now guys.
[QUOTE=Coupe66;2296713]By the way, what time does Bananas open, different depending on the day of the week?
Cheers for now guys.[/QUOTE]Not sure exactly but I remember looking in there around 8 and there appeared to be no customers and loads of girls sorting out their hair and make up etc. Went back around 10.30 and it was pretty busy.
Venezolanas piled into Oldes Bar which has a for sale sign. Did not partake but 150 k pesos 30 minutes.
Errrr - yeah guys, don't go to Santa Marta, it like, really sucks big time, just like other mongers (who live there for some unknown reason?) are often trying to tell you !
It sucks so bad that I went there for 5 nights and ended up staying for 12 ! Bananas is so bad that I went 8 times and had 4 sessions there!
Did you believe any of that? I actually can't lie as I really liked the place. There's enough to do for a week there. I also had a great BJ in the massage place on Carrera 3 in the middle of town (which another punter mentioned earlier), and a great session with a very curvy young Venezuelan SW walking along the seafront road. From my experience there are more SW's along the seafront road near Parque Bolivar and in the park itself, than in Parque de LOS Novios, where they are not so obvious as its busy with locals and tourists.
But I repeat, don't go to Santa Marta, it sucks big time!!

I am happy that things went smoothly. From your posts, excluding Cartajena, you had a good time in SM and Bogota.
You did your homework and that paid off. I am sure you learned a few things too for your next visit.
You went "silent" after posting on March 10th from SM. Now we know why!
-Is there a flood of Venezolanas OR just a handful in SM?
-Is Bananas the only attraction or are there other clubs too?
FYI - Your INbox is full and not accepting PMs.
~BKKguru.
Hahaha, well now you know! Most chicas in Banana's were Venezuelan (3 of the 4 I was with there too), the SW I really liked was, and also a busty ebony one I met in Parque Bolivar who was nothing special and kept asking for more cash. But I wouldn't say there were a flood of them, not at all. There was one chica in particular that I regret not having. She was walking around trying to sell peanuts, wearing one of those harness things food vendors wear. She was tall, very pretty, curvy but athletic. Anyway, she came over to a restaurant where I was sitting outside and gave me a wink and a kiss, but I didn't react because another guy vendor was also beside her trying to get my attention and I didn't want to encourage him. Anyway, I ran into her later at Parque de Novios and asked her if we could get together for some fun, she said yes. I said I would see her by the beach at around 9 but I didn't get there until 10 as was feeling a bit wasted. Never saw her again around the town after that! Looking back, she was running around like she was on a peanuts selling mission that night (so raising as much cash as possible before leaving I suppose).
So I guess these people go from city to city there? She told me that back home in Caracas she was an engineer, I believed her as she sounded smart too. I'm not sure what nationality the other SW's were there as I only spoke to a few I was interested in. There was another street vendor one who I fancied, but couldn't even get eye contact from her so didn't bother trying. I would also like to know which Colombian cities have the largest amounts on Venezualan young women, those closest to the border? Or the big cities in generall like Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena as that's where the most opportunities are?
That trip definitely did a lot for my confidence in chatting up women in general. In my hotel, you needed your key card to select the floor in the hotel. A really sexy looking woman got in the elevator, but the receptionist had to select the floor for her. I jumped in the elevator too as I assumed she was a hooker (LOL!) and on the way up asked her if she was visiting a friend. She laughed and said no, and got out on the 5th floor. I didn't know though at that point that there was an events / conference centre on that floor ! So she was obviously just attending something there. But I didn't feel embarrassed, nothing ventured nothing gained ! Quite a few good looking women came in for events there.
But anyway, I liked Santa Marta, but really - don't go there, it's not for everyone! It's too hot, out of the way, boring and it sucks!
Hey folks, I am in Sta Marta from today until 8th, then again from 11-18th April, maybe longer.
If anyone fancies meeting up for some prowling / exploring the city's secrets, let me knnow. .

Was informed today that there are 3 more clubs similar to Bananas. I will endeavour to chk them out- babilonia, Revonar, Cocobongo. Lets see. More to explore in this fair city.

Lots of locals trying to sell you stuff in the streets at night, and I don't mean arrepas.
Free entry. Once inside, you enter the bar area, which has a pool table too. Only locals hanging out. By the sounds of it, it's pretty much all Venezuelans working there. Bar staff were friendly. Beer dirt cheap.
In the back room is the disco, with laser lights and loud music. Maybe 10-12 girls. Dunno, I went about 9 pm.
Girls were all 2-3-4 out of 10. Way too many curves in the wrong places for me.
I went back in to the main bar area and started chatted to a women. She was so old, fat and ugly that I thought she must be the owner or mamasan. But utrns out she is game too. Price are CP 50 mil - 80 mil, depends on the girl. Rooms on site, plus also take outs available.
Maybe another time, someone might see better looking girls. Just reporting my experience.

If you close your eyes, you would never know the difference, as long as they don't have mustaches.

Was going to stay in Santa Marta a couple of nights but frankly didn't much like the look of it so stayed just the one. Ended up in Bananas at 9 pm. Was pleasantly surprised that there were 4-5 good looking women in there (20-30 on total). Was expecting worse. Anyway ended up going upstairs with a Venezuelan cutie (cost was 150-200 k cop) for the hour. One downside in my experience so far in Cartagena and SM is that the women don't seem that sexually experienced. Neither do they want to give OWO or 69's or kiss. Well that's my experience anyway.

Crap beach for a start. The one redeeming feature was a pretty lively bar and restaurant area, but personally don't see why you wouldn't stick to Cartagena unless you intend heading out to Tayrona or elsewhere to the East.
I stayed in the old town in a nice boutique hotel. So living quarters wasn't an issue.
Bananas was about half full by the time I took a girl upstairs. A handful of tourists.
The girls in Bananas are really pigs. A few months ago there was Paula. She was a doll and has left. The restaurants in Santa Marta are some of the worst I have ever experienced. Can't wait to get out of here in August after one full year. Why anyone would hobby here I can't imagine. And right now it is hotter than hell.

I didn't have any trouble finding decent places to eat. Maybe you're looking for 5 star restaurants, I wasn't! Aren't you in Rodadero though, that's NOT Santa Marta and from what I saw on my way through it going to Cartagena, it's pretty boring! Hot as hell? Yes, but so is everywhere along that north coast at the moment. I suppose I would also complain if I was stuck somewhere for a year that I didn't want to be, but then again why are you still there if you dislike it so much?

Like you said it has decent hotels and a lively bar and restaurant area. My hotel also had a great rooftop pool where I could hang around. The average woman walking around Santa Marta was WAY better looking than Cartagena, and its an authentic small Colombian city that doesn't only count on tourism. That's what I liked about the place.
Cartagena on the other hand seems to rely entirely on tourism. I was only there for 5 days but wasn't sad to leave the place. Bocagrande had NO redeeming features to me whatsoever (as like I said I'm not into the beach), it's just a concrete sprawl of tourists, fast food joints, restaurants and pretty ugly locals. I can count the number of sexy looking women I saw there on one hand. The old town is pretty but packed full of street vendors and beggers, and the talent at the clocktower was pretty desperate the two nights I checked it out!
[QUOTE=Coupe66;2324785]...Cartagena on the other hand seems to rely entirely on tourism....[/QUOTE]Actually, shipping and commerce are way more important to the local economy. Cartagena is the largest port in South America. Look East across the Bay, you'll see what I'm talking about. Container port, navy base, oil refineries.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your info! I'll be in SM in a couple of weeks and am coming in around 11 pm. Thinking about staying in the downtown area and checking out the nightlife. On FB, Old's Bar looks pretty good but I can't seem to find any info here. They have an active and current page with decent looking ladies, what's the scoop? Are the women in the photos on the old's bar page similar to what you find at Bananas? [URL]https://www.facebook.com/oldsbardiscoshow/[/URL].
I have a lease. That is why I am still here. If you think the restaurants here a good. All the more power to you. And the girls in Bananas. At least during the day. I would go without if necessary. Not me. I like girls under 160 pounds.

Probably would have been more decent looking women walking about at lunchtime from their jobs too, like I saw in Santa Marta for example all around the Banco de Bogota, all day long there in fact!
Well I can never say no to a threesome. Ended up in Santa Marta again. I've been staying around 45 minutes away from SM but that has been isolated. So decided to hit the town. A pizza followed by Banana club. Bit less impressed time around and thought I'the be going home unsatisfied. Anyway two Venezuelan chicks sit next to me and suggest a threesome. Just 100 each! As things worked out I wanted a BJ without condom so paid up a bit and because it was a good effort by the girls I paid them 100 each more. Not the best looking women, but reasonable. They were licking each other's cunts and fingering. Splendidly filthy.
Does anyone know of a charter boat captain for 2 for deep water fishing? Tuna, mahi-mahi etc. I talked to one guy who wants Costa Rica like fees for a day rate.
Any help is appreciated. We are looking to fish July 3 & 4th.
Thanks In Advance.

There are plenty of decent looking girls in Bananas. Maybe 5 or 6 on a busy night. They change quite a bit. But always a decent one to choose. But this is beside the point, and the reason I disagree with your comment "Why anyone would hobby here I can't imagine. " There are dozens of girls in Pqe de LOS Novios, Pqe Bolivar, on the Malecon, down the back streets (CL 18-11). Some of these girls are equally fine and charge COP 50.000. That seems like a good reason to monger in Sta Marta! Also there is Dubai club in Radadero, plus some pick up clubs in Sta Marta where working girls attend. I think it is a very affordable, safe and easy place to monger.
As for the restaurants. Have to disagree here too. I think the choices of decent restaurants on the 2 main walking streets represent a greater concentration than any place I have found in the whole of Colombia. Ok, perhaps Provenza / Poblado area is about the same.
So overall, I think PM gives an unjustly negative impression. Maybe after 1 year, you are burnt out and ready to move on! .

Anyone that ever needs to extend their tourist stamp in Colombia, I def recommend the immigration office in Sta Marta. Calle 19, #9.
I wasn't sure what docs I needed, so went there expecting it to be a long process. When I arrived the security guard told me to go to a shop house 30 m away (in the small street immediately in front of the office). There the lady completed an online form for me, made photocopies for me; everything I needed (note: not an onward ticket. Not required). She charged me COP 4. 000. Superb. Also speaks Englsih, apparently.
Went back to the immigration office. 10 minutes and COP 99.000 later I had my 3-month extension.
Not me! If I am in a city or place I want girls available 24 hours a day. In the morning and afternoon you get a choice of one of the six little piggie at Bananas and just about nothing in Santa Marta around the parks. Sometimes absolutely nothing. In Parque de Novios there aren't hookers and there is always police to chase them out. In Parque Bolivar and the Malecon. Yes, but very hit and miss until hours that I like to be sleeping. I live in Rodadero and there is nothing here. Al fin. With all that Colombia has to offer why anyone would bother with Santa Marta for chicas is beyond me. (I have lived in Cartagena, Medellin and Bogota. Bogota is a capital of Chicas!

I always see plenty of working girls in Pqe de LOS Novios. In fact, I stayed in an apto in Pqe de LOS Novios for a few weeks. I could wave at the girls and ask them to come up.
Would would anyone choose SM over other places in Colombia for sex? Thats easy. Bcos some people pefer smaller and safer cities as better places to live. There are other attractions in SM too. Better beaches than elsewhere in Col, diving, parks. Plus, its very cheap. Sure, other places might have more working girls, but how many do you need? .

Is the Dubai club in Rodadero open these days? If so, can you guys please give a bit more detail about it, ie are there rooms onsite, how many chicas on an average night, how do they compare to those in Bananas (as curvy as the ones there?) And what are the chica and drink prices?

I will be in town hitting the street scene (Malecon, Parque Bolivar / Novio) this coming week if anyone wants to meet up. Besides looking for Chicas (I do not do the bar scene) I will be taking a day trip up to the nearby town with waterfalls, etc.
Have two Hotel rooms, one at the AC Marriott and the other a few blocks from Parque de Novios for all of my Novias!

Guys,
We will be in SMR 7. 2-7. 6 and are looking to do some offshore fishing. I got 3 contacts off of Fay-boo! 2 had sailboats for rent & one guy knew a guy who had a boat but no gear & didn't know where to go so we would have to hire someone else to go with us as well as rent the gear. What a nightmare.
Does anyone know a fishing charter Capt. That a boat, has fishing gear, knows where to go and whose job is to take people fishing?
Any help would be appreciated.
El Mechanico.

The beach sucks. OTOH, Cartagena is definitely worth a visit for the old walled city. But three days is enough.
My first visit years ago was to Cartagena, and I'm glad I got to see it. But haven't been back since.
Finally got to visit another of the Putatorios (sex clubs) - Reno Bar.
It's a small club in Calle 10 c (con 2). It's a bit run down to say the least, but it is cheap. It's open 4 pm til late. There was approx 10 girls working there when I went aboout 8 pm. They mostly looked a bit rough, but it was definitely picking up a bit when I left, so it might be worth a look later on. I just couldn't be bothered to hang around.
I was definitely the only foreigner in the place. I doubt they ever see any! .
[QUOTE=Coupe66;2324785]Well, personally unlike a lot of you guys I coudn't care less about a beach so that didn't bother me. Like you said it has decent hotels and a lively bar and restaurant area. My hotel also had a great rooftop pool where I could hang around. The average woman walking around Santa Marta was WAY better looking than Cartagena, and its an authentic small Colombian city that doesn't only count on tourism. That's what I liked about the place.
Cartagena on the other hand seems to rely entirely on tourism. I was only there for 5 days but wasn't sad to leave the place. Bocagrande had NO redeeming features to me whatsoever (as like I said I'm not into the beach), it's just a concrete sprawl of tourists, fast food joints, restaurants and pretty ugly locals. I can count the number of sexy looking women I saw there on one hand. The old town is pretty but packed full of street vendors and beggers, and the talent at the clocktower was pretty desperate the two nights I checked it out![/QUOTE]

If I can be bothered to go out there, I will check it out. .

Quite a few addicts sleeping on the streets and a few rough looking girls offering their services. But I go out most nights and never had any hassles. Calle 10 C is only 30 m walk away and it's a similar vibe tomy street. Calle 12 and down the people on the streets are rougher. But so far, only friendly.
Yes, it's closer to Cra 3, but the address is "con 2".
Just got back from Santa Marta and want to thank JustTK for hanging out with me for a few days and showing me around. I felt very safe in town walking around including at night, more so than in Medellin. I was impressed with the variety and quality of restaurants all centrally located in and around Parque de Novios. If you like seafood, this is the Colombian town to go to besides Cartagena. I went into two bars with JustTK, one was a daytime bar next door to Bananas which didn't have much in it and one evening we went into Bananas which reminded me very much of Adelitas Bar in Tijuana, Mexico. Lots of chunky size girls, a few slim cute ones, and a DJ playing music with a bunch of locals drinking beers while gawking at the Chicas who walked around strutting their asses in your face.
As far as where to stay I had two rooms. One at the AC Marriot, a brand new Hotel located behind the Police Station at the beginning of the Malecon. Great rooms, ocean views, and an Olympic size pool and rooftop deck. About $ 80 US a night and an excellent location. Was it girl friendly, I don't know as I never took anyone there, but I suppose it is if you book a double room and the Chica isn't too skanky looking with a Cedula. Lots of business people and people on Hoilday there.
As far as my other room, I found a Hotel one block from Parque de Novios almost directly across the street from the two bars I mentioned at 55,000 Pesos a night with AC which was girl friendly. I basically checked out three Hotels in this area and befriended the manager of the one I stayed in and basically told him I would be bringing some girlfriends in which they had no problem with.
As far as finding girls. Well this is a great town to monger in if you like the street scene. The three locations I liked and I know JustTK knows of more, was Parque Bolivar, the Malecon, and Parque de Novios. Around sunset everyday lots of Chicas will show up along the beach road / Malecon and in the evening will be concentrated across from the Malecon in front of a few side walk cafes just a block from Parque Bolivar and will be sitting / standing along the Malecon on the other side of the Boulevard. During the daytime you will find Chicas in Parque Bolivar but of poor quality. Lots of Venies in and around Parque Bolivar and the first asking price for the ones I talked to with was 50,000 K. Lots of the Chicas in town were very aggressive, especially in and around Parque de Novios. This area of town is very different than the Parque Bolivar area being the main tourist area with performers etc. And the prices of the Chicas are higher as this is where most of the tourists hung out. Much different than Parque Bolivar with the Chicas a better dressed and looking for clients along with higher end pricing. In this area if your a single male you will get a lot of eye contact and girls coming up to you offering massages, smiling, etc.
I liked my stay in Santa Marta, however it is hot during the day with most activity taking place at night.
Santa Marta sounds like a quiet laid back place. Can anyone please recommend some GF hotels or apartments.
[QUOTE=Gezpen;2335991]Santa Marta sounds like a quiet laid back place.

These are very cheap - 50/60. 000 per night. I stayed in some exellent studio apartments directly in Pqe de LOS Novios. COP 120.000 - look them up on Airbnb. There are also some aptos in Cra 2 which are chica friendly. In the apto building Casa Del Rio. At the moment, I stay in Calle 11 in a house that has 4 bedrooms and a small pool. COP 130.000.

Just some information for others to consider while visiting Santa Marta and other coastal areas of Colombia. Last week I arrived on Monday and on Thursday night I came down with what I thought was food poisoning and had chills / fever and vomited and had the runs during the night. Since last Friday I have had bouts of the runs. Yesterday I went to a Doctor in Medellin where I live and was informed that I had a parasite infection. The Doc told me that parasite infections were quite common for people who travel to that area. Precautions I took, well staying in a five star Hotel, eating in upper scale eating establishments, drinking only bottled water didn't make any difference. I am not trying to scare anyone off form going there, just letting you know if you get sick while being there are shortly thereafter, don't be surprised.

It appears the cause of this parasitic infection was food. What type of food were you eating? Was it Seafood every day? Pork etc?
Just trying to determine, what type of food should be AVOIDED while in the coastal areas? This would be very useful to know.

[/QUOTE]You did the right thing by taking the prescription immediately.
Since you took the trouble of taking the stool sample, I would have asked the Doctor to go ahead with the Lab test.
(I am assuming it does NOT cost US $100 to do a Lab test, like it does in the USA).
There is a small chance the Lab Report may have provided some additional info.
Thanks again for the warning.

Worms may need another treatment. However in all cases stool test or two may be required, and also sometimes two different drugs may be prescribed. I took the above, and on occasion other drugs, sometimes up to 2 weeks, no alcohol allowed:) Cuba was the worst.
That med is used frequently for the parasite Giardia. Its a very common water borne parasite. I have had it a few times. Contaminated water used for washing or in drinks, ice etc. Its not hard to catch if your a explorer of street foods. In my case it was very gaseous diarrhea. Metro takes care of it quickly. You must be careful though because sometimes the symptoms pass quickly and you become a asymptomatic carrier.

I stayed in a five star hotel, only ate at the finest eating establishments, only drank bottled water. But I did have a Mojito every night. I am assuming the ice was purified, but perhaps the mint leaves had parasites. So it's impossible to narrow it down to a specific food. However I did eat some tasty pussy, perhaps that was it.
In regards to running the stool sample, the Doctor told me based on my explanation of my conditions that she knew exactly what it was and that we could run the sample, but regardless of the results she already knew what the cure would be, so I decided not to bother. If I had been in the USA the Doctors would have no clue and I would of probably had to wait a while for the lab tests for them to figure it out.
I think the only thing you can do to prevent this is make like your travelling in India, and don't touch anything that has not been cooked or you can peel. That means nothing fresh, etc. Which would be pretty boring for me.

Giardia is primarily a waterborne parasite you get from drinking contaminated water, and you should not only not drink the water, but use bottled water for your toothbrush, etc. Food becomes contaminated both through the water used to rinse it off and being handled by 300 hands in the market. Best advice / practice is never to eat any raw vegetables or fruit, but rather buy it, take it back to your hotel room and dip it in some disinfectant (1 tablespoon of bleach for one gallon of water).
The essential problem is that people in the US take too many antibiotics and we focus so much on absolute sanitation, which means if they get a little contamination on an apple it wrecks your system. You can prepare a bit on the front end to lessen the possibility that you'll get foodborne illness by building up the "good bacteria" in your gut. Several weeks before traveling, up your intake of things like yogurt (homemade is best) and acidophilus milk. Many people would also suggest daily doses of 1000 MG of Vitamin see- Dr. Linus Pauling was a big champion of building your immune system with Vitamin see. Don't be concerned about the dosage- Vitamin see is water soluble and washes out of your system daily. You can also get a lot of see in your diet through fresh citrus and garlic, as well as certain other fruits and vegetables- Google it.
Just some thoughts.
[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2338931]How are the beaches?

Plenty of places to chill and have a beer along the Malecon in Santa Marta and along the beach in Rodaleo. However, it is hot there and the water is not clear and inviting like in the Dominican Republic. So if your looking for spectacular beaches you should go there. Even at Parque Tyrona there are some nice beaches but it's a pain to get there and expensive to enter as a foreigner. However, if you like seafood, and hopefully don't get sick, Santa Marta has the DR beat hands down in this regards.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2338170]Just some information for others to consider while visiting Santa Marta and other coastal areas of Colombia. Last week I arrived on Monday and on Thursday night I came down with what I thought was food poisoning and had chills / fever and vomited and had the runs during the night. Since last Friday I have had bouts of the runs. Yesterday I went to a Doctor in Medellin where I live and was informed that I had a parasite infection. The Doc told me that parasite infections were quite common for people who travel to that area. Precautions I took, well staying in a five star Hotel, eating in upper scale eating establishments, drinking only bottled water didn't make any difference. I am not trying to scare anyone off form going there, just letting you know if you get sick while being there are shortly thereafter, don't be surprised.[/QUOTE]WOW so THIS is what I had. I stayed in Santa Marta for about 2 or 3 weeks asnd right about the last couple days there I got SUPER ill. I thought it was the chicken I got from this place. I had eaten there before so I figured there was no problems but, I nust say that is the worst ill I ever dealt with. I had diareha non stop, like really non stop. I was lucky I was able to get to the store and stock up on gatorade and meds. I remember I was vomiting soo much that like it was painful in my mouth and uncontroable. I never wish this on anybody. I think I ate 2 crackers the entire 3 days I was sick. After I was totally fine though and I was in the clear one day before I had to leave. Holy fuck wow that was an unreal experience.
Thanks for the heads up.
How exactly do you prevent this from happening? I never have these problems in Bogota or medellin or baraquilla but WOW holy fuck this was bad.
[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2338936]The essential problem is that people in the US take too many antibiotics and we focus so much on absolute sanitation, which means if they get a little contamination on an apple it wrecks your system. You can prepare a bit on the front end to lessen the possibility that you'll get foodborne illness by building up the "good bacteria" in your gut. Several weeks before traveling, up your intake of things like yogurt (homemade is best) and acidophilus milk. Many people would also suggest daily doses of 1000 MG of Vitamin see- Dr. Linus Pauling was a big champion of building your immune system with Vitamin see. Don't be concerned about the dosage <snip>
Just some thoughts.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the information. I agree that folks living in the US live in a "sanitized" environment. A little dirt is good for your body.
Another good source of Vitamin C is Lemon. Squeeze half a lemon (or lime) in your water. Do not add salt or sugar. Two direct benefits:
a) You will get HALF the dose of your daily Vitamin C.
b) If you suffer from Hypertension (or high blood pressure), your blood pressure will begin to drop.
Few months back, CNN started running a new series called "Chasing Life". The host of this show Dr. Sanjay Gupta visits different countries.
The goal is to find out the secret of their good health. One show was about Bolivia. Dr. Gupta visits a small village in the Amazon jungle.
According to the show, these Bolivian natives have the BEST Cardiovascular health in the world.
I bring this up because Dr. Gupta mentions these folks already have the bacteria / parasites in their body. They will not fall sick.
On the other hand, he had just arrived days earlier from the US. He had to watch everything he was eating and drinking.
Dr. Gupta is invited to join a meal. He is shown sitting on the floor (in a hut) while the meal is being cooked on a wood fire.
The meal is ready and served in a banana leaf (most likely fish, but do not remember exactly).
Dr. Gupta knows he will fall sick if he eats this. He is seriously embarrassed because this meal means a lot to the Bolivian jungle natives.
Does Dr. Gupta eat this meal? Watch the re-run of this show to find out!

I am not doctor, but even I know to carry probiotic with me in case I run into some bad bacteria. But you described the food being cooked over a wood fire. So once that is heated past a certain temp, the bacteria are killed anyway. It is the uncooked stuff like salad and water that one must be careful of.

I have a pretty resilient stomach as only got sick once in India when I ate some imported Swiss cheese of all things. What was conveyed to me by the Doctor was that it was very common to get parasite infections in Santa Marta. I haven't had any problems in Medellin the last two years. So your question is, how do you prevent this from happening. Either don't go to Santa Marta, or perhaps make like your in India and only eat things you peel and cooked food. But that won't even guarantee that you will not get sick.

So in places where certain parasites are common that may be the vector. And all the probiotics or vitamins in the world won't necessarily help prevent a parasite infection. Some people carry them and so in a sense would be immune. But not sure of the long term health consequences. Probably depends on the parasite. Common parasitic ones are ameobic dysentery and giardia. With ameobic dysentery being the worst.
Bacterial infections can probably be lessened by good health and diet, although if you get a bad type of e-coli for example it is more about your resistance and who knows what else. That is a common cause of "food poisoning", and again is caused by contamination from food handlers. Or comes in on produce, etc. Bad e-coli reactions can be very serious, but with the same contamination only a certain (small) number of people get ill, and lots don't even notice it. And others die from it or complications.
Anyway. Point being, don't assume one treatment fits all. Treatments for parasites are very different than for bacterial infections, and within those categories the drugs for each type are very different. And viruses another thing altogether. Basically no antibiotic works for them. So get a proper diagnoses.
CNN travel with a med team, don't compare them to yourselves, they know what they are doing, and moreover they don't eat ass, LOL, on those episodes.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2339043]...I am not doctor, but even I know to carry probiotic with me in case I run into some bad bacteria...[/QUOTE]Not going to help you. And I am a doctor.
[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2339168]Not going to help you. And I am a doctor.[/QUOTE]Funny since it has helped me many times before. The first time I had no idea what it was and I had the runs about 18 times a day for like 6 weeks. I had lost plenty of weight before I finally went to the doctor. She told me about the probiotic that I could buy over the counter at the pharmacy. It cleared up in 2 days. That was 14 years ago. Ever since, I have kept some in my toiletry bag and whenever it happens I take them and it fixes it right away. Maybe you are a doctor of philosophy.
Zeos1,
Well said. In Medicine, one size does not fit all. Many times, Doctors find the medicine which will work for YOU, by trial and error.
Probiotics do help a lot of people. But this discussion was about Parasites not bacterial infections.
I learnt a few things. Good info which the consummate traveler can use.

~BKKguru[/QUOTE]I started this thread and I never envisioned such a discussion would ensue. Regardless of whether the thread was about parasites, some of the symptoms of a bacterial infection can be similar to parasites, therefore it's good for all of us to get educated on the different things we can come down with while travelling in this region.
I went to the Doctor last Thursday and was diagnosed with parasites based solely on my symptoms. I took the medicines on Thursday and Friday, and guess what all symptoms disappeared by the weekend.

Me. Fuck was I sick. Had to call one of the emergency medical services to come to my apartment. They were there in 30 minutes and hooked me up with an intravenous solution. They knew right away what it was that got me. Shrimp cocktail from one of the street vendors. It tooks 3-4 days to get somewhat back to normal. I have had no other problems with getting sick here in S. M. Nor my girlfriend.

Just a little perspective on all the stories of illnesses in Sta Marta.
I stayed there 2 months. I ate at many different restaurants; I never stopped to consider if the food was washed with potable water etc. I made myself a couple of cups of coffee using unpotable tap water and a microwave every day. I did not get sick once. However, I did wake up w a hangover a few times. .
Luck might have played a little part, but also if you are going to eat animal products, the chances are much higher that you will get sick, considering the very frequent black outs. I am vegan so I never run that risk. Just the low chance that there may be trace faeces from meat eater food on my veggies. F*ckn bast*DS! .
So it's not all doom and gloom. Some of us survived without illness.

First off, anyone who doesn't eat street food in Latin America misses half the experience. The key is the old truck driver's addage- always eat where there are lots of trucks parked. As a rule, if a stand has brisk business it tells you that the food is probably good, and be.) it's also pretty fresh, as the more volume, the more product, the less likelihood of getting something on the edge of being a science project. Someone earlier mentioned probiotics; as the doctor said, eating a thing of yogurt when you think you're got something bad isn't going to help. What you should do is spend a number of weeks / months before your visit building the health of your gut flora and fauna. Spend a few months eating yogurt, acedopholis milk, and anything else that will build up your gut biome. Look it up online, fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchee are another good source of bacteria. A healthy level of good bacteria and other critters in your gut helps fight off minor infections. Of course, if you get some salmonella from uncooked chicken, you're going to get sick no matter what. Like all other things, don't be a dar papaya. If you bite into something and it's not cooked or not quite right, DON'T EAT IT. Most people in the tropics and hot climates use outdoor kitchens and carts because it's too hot to cook indoors. Some of the best food you can get in Colombia- especially the fruits, are on street carts. I can't wait to find the little golden salted potatoes and salchichas, the little stubby white sausages. If there's a crowd around the cart, chances are it's because they're not only good, but relatively safe.

You're far more likely to get sick from vegetables than animal products, and it's not from animal products touching your veggies. They use far less synthetic fertilizers and far more good old fashioned [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord116][CodeWord116][/url] of all kind. The chances of you getting e. Coli, norovirus, or another food borne illness is far greater because you are neither washing or fully cooking your veggies. You can probably attribute your strong constitution to the fact you have a healthy level of gut bacteria that does battle for you.
For the record, have you been to the Krishna restaurant off Botero Plaza in Medellin? Probably one of the best and cheapest meals I've had in Medellin, and all vegetarian.

BKKguru[/QUOTE]Probiotics are just what the word suggests- they aid in building up the bioflora and fauna in your gut, often depleted by our overuse of antibiotics. Think of them as "prebiotics"- in order for them to do you any good you have to consume them well in advance of your trip so your gut bacteria is robust and healthy. Eating some yogurt when you think you got food poisoning won't help a whit.

The few times I've been in Colombia, if me or my "chica del dia" didn't cook in my apartment, I've eaten only in popular restaurants. Never had a problem. A couple of weeks ago I visited Cali for the first time. Did a lot of walking and visited tourist areas. We found a nice little place near San Antonia and had some great empenadas and some other banana "thing". A little later near a artesian park (forget the name) tried some really good looking deep fried, battered potato slices from a food cart. Really tasty.
Unfortunately a few hours later the problems started and ruined my short visit to Cali. Wound up eating only Lomotil for the next two days. Yikes. I learned my lesson about street food.
Afterwards in Santa Marta we ate only cooked in meals (love fresh arepas) or food from the restaurant row near Parque de Novios or in a nice Centro Comercial somewhere near Rodadero.
I guess I'm just not that adventurous when it comes to food. Why take a chance and ruin my vacation. I'd rather take a chance with the chicas, not the food.
Barkey.
There are Sw's mostly Venezuelanas in the Parque, they congregate towards the south end across from the Marley bar which is also a great place to watch the street entertainers as well.
The prices are very reasonable, a jinatero also Venezuelan who speaks good English can be found in the area, he may be able to broker a deal as the vennies don't speak English.
1 hour hotels in the vicinity vary from 10 k to 25 k. A repeat chica and I found the hotel the night before was 20 K was now 25 K. She thought I might bail as that was half her rate.
Old's Bar Disco Show. Never saw this place, is possible it's an old name for Club Bananas.
The bus from Rodadero costs 1900 k. Take it to the Exito and walk north 3 blocks to the Parque. Have taken the bus back as late as 10 PM from the malecon (waterfront). Bus placard displays in large letters Gaira which is the community south of Rodadaro Taxi is 12 K but less interesting.
Never picked anybody up from the Malecon, but have been told not to go far a walk towards the beach out of the light for concern of robbery late at night.
There is a group of decent restaurants catering to north american tastes and a pretty good ceviche bar at the Marina. West end of the Malecon.
Rodadaro is the first decent public beach I found in Colombia, you can stay out very late without fear of being annoyed or worse. Water temp in Sept was 80 degrees. March was far less warm.

Hey guys, I've been in Santa Marta for a week so thought I would let you know my impressions of the place since my last visit in March this year. I can't believe how much less I like it here this time! Looking back, it seemed to be the purple patch to come here back in March, it was getting popular but still peaceful, with a scattering of Venezuelans around. Now, poor Venezuelans seem to be overrunning the place, and it gets very tiresome telling them to stop bothering you, the locals seem less friendly than last time, and I don't feel comfortable walking along the Malecon after say 9 PM, and it's certainly not safe to walk alongside or in Parque Bolivar late either.
There is an uneasy atmosphere in the city at the moment, which a taxi driver agreed with me about tonight, and an odd mix of people. Locals just trying to go about their business, hippy tourists, better off tourists and Venezuelan refugees either trying to sell you stuff, begging or sitting around in the parks. The police tend to show up in bursts all over the place, but there are many times and places that you won't see any. When the security guards in restaurant terraces or secure areas go off for a break, the begging Venezualans will come and start hassling you.
Bananas club was great the last time I was here, there was a good mix of all types of chicas, and they were available to advances but weren't pushy. Whereas now the choice of chicas is pretty poor, and they are behaving like chicas in most clubs / chica bars (ie looking bored and staring at their mobiles, as if they just have to be there). I took one chica upstairs a few days back, she was my type and had a good attitude, but the hectic atmosphere and noise coming from outside the room from the lady cleaning the rooms / banging on doors to tell others their time was up was just ridiculous and totally ruined the experience! Likewise, I don't remember it was like that in March either.
The only bright side to me has been the internet scene. I've seen a couple of chicas here that I found on mileroticos, a very curvy Venezuelan just off Carrera 5 shopping street who gave me a great time who I met twice, and another slimmer and very cute Venezuelan in Rodadero who also gave me great service. I don't see the point of posting their links here and saying they were 8/10 or whatever as many do, as we all have different tastes, but PM me for details if you're interested.
Actually, I'm glad I visited the chica in Rodadero as had never been there before. From the feedback from some of you guys on here I had the impression that it was a dead little backwater, but this is really not the case at all. It's a very lively little seaside resort, and the atmosphere there is much friendlier and more positive than Santa Marta centre at the moment, and feels safer too. Although there are loads of street vendors there, none bothered me or hassled me the way they do in Santa Marta. I reckon this is mainly because Rodadero is more for Colombian tourists who don't put up with being hassled or aren't susceptible to such advances, whereas Santa Marta is where the naieve foreign tourists hang out. I didn't notice any street walkers there if that's what you're into, but there are many chicas there available on mileroticos, so it might be a better place to stay in the area than Santa Marta for the moment. A lot less Venezuelan refugees there too.
Anyway, maybe I was looking through rose tinted glasses at Santa Marta the first time I was here in March as I only had Bogota to compare it to, whereas this time I have a lot more to compare it to as have been in Medellin for 16 days then Barranquilla for a week before coming here, and maybe the locals weren't any more friendly back then but I just wasn't paying any attention as I was just excited to be here. But even so, this place has still definitely gone downhill. It's busier, but not in a good way or with the right people. It also seems dirtier and more run down. I really can't believe how much worse it has got in just 6 months!
And if you think I'm exaggerating about the security issues, on my first night here a week ago I walked up Carrera 3 (pedestrianized street that runs from Parque de los Novios to Calle 5), then turned left to walk to the seafront alongside Parque Bolivar. It was pretty dark and empty looking, but as it was only 830 PM I wasn't really worried. A skinny little street walker then came up to me from behind, pawing me and trying to get my attention. I told her I wasn't interested and to get off me. Anyway, before I knew what was happening she had her hand in my back pocket (which luckily was empty), and I think I swiped her away. It was all over in a few seconds and she walked off. Anyway, maybe it was a good thing as it gave me a warning to be careful walking in Santa Marta at night, and let me know that the Santa Marta I was walking in was not the same place that it was 6 months ago. I shouldn't have assumed that it was ! It has changed, and not for the better.
I didn't see any streetwalkers who were too impressive either in Santa Marta at the moment, and to be honest with what I've said about the atmosphere here at the moment, and the fact they're usually hanging around other young Venezuelan guys with nothing better to do, that they would have to be pretty stunning for me to risk others sticking their nose in my business / our conversation.
Anyway, sorry for the pretty negative report guys, but I have to be honest. Not sure I will be coming back in a hurry, too many other places to see on my next trip to Colombia ! I really wouldn't recommend coming here for the moment anyway. Was planning to stay here until leaving Colombia in a week, but instead will go back to Medellin for my last few days. The weather may be worse there, but there's lots more to do, there are loads more chicas available and I feel more comfortable there than here for sure at the moment !

When the security guards in restaurant terraces or secure areas go off for a break, the begging Venezualans will come and start hassling you.
Bananas club was great the last time I was here, there was a good mix of all types of chicas, and they were available to advances but weren't pushy. Whereas now the choice of chicas is pretty poor, and they are behaving like chicas in most clubs / chica bars (ie looking bored and staring at their mobiles, as if they just have to be there). I took one chica upstairs a few days back, she was my type and had a good attitude, but the hectic atmosphere and noise coming from outside the room from the lady cleaning the rooms / banging on doors to tell others their time was up was just ridiculous and totally ruined the experience! Likewise, I don't remember it was like that in March either.
The only bright side to me has been the internet scene. I've seen a couple of chicas here that I found on mileroticos, a very curvy Venezuelan just off Carrera 5 shopping street who gave me a great time who I met twice, and another slimmer and very cute Venezuelan in Rodadero who also gave me great service. I don't see the point of posting their links here and saying they were 8/10 or whatever as many do, as we all have different tastes, but PM me for details if you're interested.
Actually, I'm glad I visited the chica in Rodadero as had never been there before. From the feedback from some of you guys on here I had the impression that it was a dead little backwater, but this is really not the case at all. It's a very lively little seaside resort, and the atmosphere there is much friendlier and more positive than Santa Marta centre at the moment, and feels safer too. Although there are loads of street vendors there, none bothered me or hassled me the way they do in Santa Marta. I reckon this is mainly because Rodadero is more for Colombian tourists who don't put up with being hassled or aren't susceptible to such advances, whereas Santa Marta is where the naieve foreign tourists hang out. I didn't notice any street walkers there if that's what you're into, but there are many chicas there available on mileroticos, so it might be a better place to stay in the area than Santa Marta for the moment. A lot less Venezuelan refugees there too.
Anyway, maybe I was looking through rose tinted glasses at Santa Marta the first time I was here in March as I only had Bogota to compare it to, whereas this time I have a lot more to compare it to as have been in Medellin for 16 days then Barranquilla for a week before coming here, and maybe the locals weren't any more friendly back then but I just wasn't paying any attention as I was just excited to be here. But even so, this place has still definitely gone downhill. It's busier, but not in a good way or with the right people. It also seems dirtier and more run down. I really can't believe how much worse it has got in just 6 months!
And if you think I'm exaggerating about the security issues, on my first night here a week ago I walked up Carrera 3 (pedestrianized street that runs from Parque de los Novios to Calle 5), then turned left to walk to the seafront alongside Parque Bolivar. It was pretty dark and empty looking, but as it was only 830 PM I wasn't really worried. A skinny little street walker then came up to me from behind, pawing me and trying to get my attention. I told her I wasn't interested and to get off me. Anyway, before I knew what was happening she had her hand in my back pocket (which luckily was empty), and I think I swiped her away. It was all over in a few seconds and she walked off. Anyway, maybe it was a good thing as it gave me a warning to be careful walking in Santa Marta at night, and let me know that the Santa Marta I was walking in was not the same place that it was 6 months ago. I shouldn't have assumed that it was ! It has changed, and not for the better.
I didn't see any streetwalkers who were too impressive either in Santa Marta at the moment, and to be honest with what I've said about the atmosphere here at the moment, and the fact they're usually hanging around other young Venezuelan guys with nothing better to do, that they would have to be pretty stunning for me to risk others sticking their nose in my business / our conversation.
Anyway, sorry for the pretty negative report guys, but I have to be honest. Not sure I will be coming back in a hurry, too many other places to see on my next trip to Colombia ! I really wouldn't recommend coming here for the moment anyway. Was planning to stay here until leaving Colombia in a week, but instead will go back to Medellin for my last few days. The weather may be worse there, but there's lots more to do, there are loads more chicas available and I feel more comfortable there than here for sure at the moment ![/QUOTE]I'll be in Rodadero next month, so I really appreciate the information. It's nice to have a complete, well written report before you head out- I'll try to do the same when I get back. I'll also be traveling to Pereira and Armenia, so I'll be able to update those cities as well.
Hey peeps,
Anyone going or have some info on the Storyland EDM music festival? I'm thinking about going. I think the dates are Jan 4-5.

Thanks in advance.
El Mechanico.
I recall using the upstairs rooms at Bananas several years ago and not digging it at all. Same deal, yelling about time being up, shoddy rooms, and an overall bleak experience. I did meet a hottie there from MDE who I invited over to my hotel next day rather than soil my experience with this beauty. My place was conveniently located across the street at a boutique type hotel called San Isabella.
They actually had a sign saying guests not allowed but the girl I met was very pretty, young, and had a classy look to her so she breezed through without comment from the staff. However, most of the talent in Bananas left a lot to be desired. Desultory comes to mind. It's a bit disappointing to read that the general city atmosphere has become shaky too. The town, as it is, always seems to be on the precipice of falling into total dysfunction. Thanks for the update.
My thoughts after 3 days. This place makes for a nice change. It's kind of a cool town. As for mongering it's slim pickings. There are 6 or 8 ladies over by the park / where that Bob Marley bar is. Another dozen near the other park near the water and a few more girls scattered around. Walking the loop 3/4 times a night (both parks, down third and along the beach). I have seen no more than 30 ladies in one night.
As for the ladies, their 90 percent Venezuelan. I find the Venezuelans more difficult to deal with in general. Their just way more hard than the Colombians IMO.
I had a drink in Banana bar tonight also. Counted 6 of the 7 ladies around me on their phones like I wasn't even there. The 7th was a cute Colombian that actually talked to me. She said 1/2 HR, 120 k + pay for room (not sure room price).
So far took 2 SGs. Plump Colombian tonight, good service, showered together etc. And a Venezuelan that was fucking terrible.
I don't regret coming here, I'm enjoying myself but I feel like I'm settling for ladies due to lack of other options.
I'm liking the food but my friends that spend a lot of time here pointed out all their favorite places to me. Beach is nothing special but very nice to hang out at for sunset and in the evening.
The wind, it's crazy windy here. Was at breakfast 2 days ago and my scrambled eggs blew right off the plate onto the ground!
Passed through Santa Marta before Cartagena for 1 night.
Looked at photoprepagos, not many ads that had been active in the last week. Only one I liked who was the one I went to see from mileroticos below.
Mileroticos had more active ads, WhatsApped a handfull I liked, prices from 100-160 k for the hour, mainly 100 k. Most don't do BBBJ. I always asked for pictures to confirm they are the one in the photo, some will some won't, and they usually look worse when you get a photo.
Nearly every other ad on there is a girl called Larissa, didn't send face pictures but I chanced it anyway as she looked good. As expected not the one in the picture or at least doesn't look like that now, small belly and facially poor so I walked. I think she was asking for some money before I left but just walked out, she was operating out of a budget hotel in Rodadero with another girl I could hear, receptionist was laughing when I came back down obviously knows what's going on.
On the corner of parque de LOS Novios where the restaurants are is like 5 or so girls stood about, dressed modestly but very obvious, all looking very young, this is circa 8 pm. Had food right next to there, some seem to go for a walk and return so must be a circuit they do, also sometimes walk in and out of Uleleke a club there on the corner. Once I'd finished dinner after 9 pm a couple more have arrived, it's hard at times to tell in Colombia but most look underage to me. I did pass back through here circa 11 pm and it was a different group of girls that looked older and rougher now.
Bananas disco show circa 10 pm, 6 k beer, maybe 20 girls, quite a few locals. Only two of the worst ones introduce themselves, a few do look doable, usual chica club stuff most sat about bored on their phones.

Been to Medellin 5-6 times in last couple years but would like a lazy week in Santa Marta. Any and all advice is welcomed. Did you go to Rodadero or Sierra Nevadas?
What a complete waste of time. Bad food. Stinky crowd at beach. Venadores are pests. A hugh 'so what?' And you will not see good looking girls on beach, as in eye candy. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

I won't go with the parque chicas unless I see their IDs a lot of them look young but they are 21 or so.
They a lot of fun but watch your pockets because their fingers like to move around when they're giving you head. One cute Venezuela chick managed to get a few pesos out of my back pocket and then let me bang her bareback and since she wanted a baby. Fun stuff.

Taking a day trip to S. M. From BQ on Thurs and want do it with one and if a slightly preggers venie all the better.

They everywhere around Parque 93 Bogota and especially, if after finish a nice meal or bar time hate them pestering me. Ruins the moment. Do feel sorry of them and try to help with small cash donations when I can but not on the Transmillenio where if I take my hands off the grab bar to dig out some change fall flat on my face the the bus comes to a quick stop etc.

Went to the Banana Club yesterday, and I was honestly shocked at how different it was compared to recent reports. There were like 20+ chicas there on a Thursday night at 10 pm. A couple groups of locals must of spent a good amount of money because there were girls giving naked lap dances in the main area. A couple of really outgoing girls hung out with me, too. Maybe I just got lucky? I'm going to try again tonight and see if it's different. But yes, I agree there are a ton of Ven girls there and generally they're not super happy to be there.

Did you make it back and how did it go? I'm hopeful it was good as I'd really like to head that way but other reports indicated that Santa Marta is not worth visiting. My purpose is to relax and party if I run into the right one. Seems to have some worthwhile scenic national park beaches nearby and a day trip into Sierra Nevadas could be cool. My mongering if that's what it is, goes better for me when I'm really not looking.

In the meantime, I've watched a few YouTube videos on Santa Marta and I have reconsidered. It seems like a place I want to see again, 45 years later. When this CoVid 19 is over, I'll be on my way.
Do you guys know of any day time casas in SM? I was told they exist by one of those "get it for you" guys on the beach who wanted to take me there. Was my last day of trip and couldn't go and not even sure he understood exactly what I was looking for. Do any of you know where the casas are?

[QUOTE=Radar99;2440065]Can you elaborate please why this may not be an option now? Any precautions?[/QUOTE]Even before COVID (in October) Santa Marta around the old city was getting a little too edgy. Probably less so around the tourist beach Rodadero.

Spent the whole of lock down in Santa Marta.
For sure, it was boring in that there were no bars or clubs or restaurants open. Indeed, no shops either. But always plenty of girls, and super cheap!

They were desperate for money bcos they couldn't work as per normal. Plus I know one of the club owners. He owns 2 clubs. He also offers his girls for take out thru whatsapp. . And then there were always a few girls hanging out at the parks during the day. So I kept busy that way.
I was staying in Airbnbs in the centre, very close to Pqe de LOS Novios.
No, the beaches were closed and access to the sea in the centre was boarded up. It still is. They are relaying the pavements now. If you wanted to swim, you needed to get a taxi out of town to one of the queiter beaches where there was no police.

Bananas. It's a boutique style hotel with a small pool and good breakfast. There is a sign behind the front desk that says no non registered guests allowed. However, when I checked in I did not notice the sign. Later that evening I went over to Bananas and picked up a gorgeous chick from Bogata. She was also classy looking and nicely dressed, which is the not the norm there. So when I came back with her, we walked right in though don't remember if she had to register.
The owners, at least at the time, included a couple of ex Peace Corp guys. One of them was there and I saw him watching her beautiful ass as she swivelled out the door. I brought her back a couple of more times without issue but she looked nice enough to be a normal guest. A lot of the chicks in there, however, are a bit on the rough side.
As far as the hotel goes, they have a nice upstairs suite with a private rooftop pool. At the time, I paid a bit over $100 per night but with the lack of tourists maybe you can get a better deal. You can find them in all the hotel websites.

Just arrived in SM. Any leads?
It was Friday night and there was quite some nightlife out there. But only regular bars and restaurants. Bananas was closed, I did not see any other disco bars open.
Hung out a while at Parque de los Novios and sipped some beer. Met a guy form Romania of all places and used the opportunity to chat with un otro gringo.
At 10 pm it was shut-down for everything! No problem, I am still fighting jetlag anyway.
On the way to my hotel I ran into a Vez chic, which I thought was worth trying before going home alone. Things went strongly downhill from there!
At first I had to learn, that my hotel is not guest-friendly, no even for an upcharge! This is a joke, as I picked "Park Hotel" because it is one of the cheaper low-scale places where I never imagined they would not let you take a girl in. Also I paid for 2 people, even 2 breakfasts! I never had problems in Bogota or Barranquilla, even in larger middle-class corporate hotels, if the chic had an ID and registered. Well, not in PARK hotel, not even for an upcharge! Do not go to Park hotel! Not worth it for anything else neither.
OK, so we went off for a "love hotel", mi no gusto, but I was mucho horny. Things were getting worse.
So, OK, we are at love hotel and negotiate our deal. I show her my ID (I have a PhD and that is in my German passport, helps in most parts of the world to show as "hombre higienico") and my very current test for all usual STIs. I really do not like condoms and we agree on bareback for the stout sum of $400 k COP for 2 hours. From this point on I should have watched out more closely. She goes bathroom, comes back naked (deposited all her stuff strategically in bathroom). She insists on money upfront (should never do this, I know). We start playing (do 69 and stuff). When we get to the point of "let us get real" she gets a condom out. I say "no, not the deal", she starts jelling, runs to bathroom, locks herself in. Comes back out fully dressed! Starts jelling "Police, police, help, help" and forces herself to the door scratching and biting. Eventually I let her run. Not sure, what the legal situation is. But at the end of the day I am the gringo with limited Spanish. That was one no-bueno Friday night.
Out of curiosity I ask the reception guy and of course at "love hotel" no registrations.

Hey there, I just arrived again in Sta Marta a couple of weeks ago. All the girlie clubs are still officially closed, but you can still go in to a social room and mix with girls and use their bedrooms. Let me know if you want to try it out.
[QUOTE=Berliner2021;2533400]It was Friday night and there was quite some nightlife out there. But only regular bars and restaurants. Bananas was closed, I did not see any other disco bars open.
Hung out a while at Parque de los Novios and sipped some beer. Met a guy form Romania of all places and used the opportunity to chat with un otro gringo.
At 10 pm it was shut-down for everything! No problem, I am still fighting jetlag anyway.
On the way to my hotel I ran into a Vez chic, which I thought was worth trying before going home alone. Things went strongly downhill from there!

At TK: OM sent.
OK, a couple more days here and I am starting to like the place somewhat. At least Caribbean Beach if nothing else.
Accommodation:
Casa Isabella is a good start. I booked with them. Turns out they are closed, but I got upgraded to Casa Leda by the same operator. Nice place and guest-friendly! It is a pity, that hotel bar is closed due to Covid though. Pretty lonesome and you have to drag your own beers home.
Relaxation daytime:
Paris Massaje is still an excellent contact these days! First time I was there were only 2 chicas. I took a Indio-looking very slim girl. Well, not totally my taste, but she even offered BB for 20 COP extra. Just their massage tables / mattraces are really uncomfortable for anything except massages: the Today asked them for "takeout". They sent me well-representing pics (actually the girl was much prettier than the pic). Of course she was 15 min late, and I was waiting for her in front of the hotel in the heat. But a really cute VEN girl in her early 20's. Unfortunately she insisted on rubbers. But nothing else bad to say about her! IT seems wild kissing is always included in the "massages", which I personally really appreciate.
Fun nighttime:
I actually tindered a bit and got a good head start into the local "digital nomad" scene. There are quite a few "digital nomads" and outcast from all over the world living here, where English is just fine. I am on the edge age-wise, but on a good day, I still blend in Met a COL chick (15 years younger than me) who is a graphic designer and spent some days with her. Probably more money spent taking her out, than on "professionals", but was fun! Hostel / Co-working "La Brisa Loca" seems epicentre for this scene! I do not think you will meet pros there, but more or less young and educated girls, who like to party and are potentially open for a vacation flic. Yes, quite a few! Again, those are not Pros, so do not expect 9's and 10's with big silicon tetas. But some fun chicks who speak English and are open to flirt, not gold diggers, and not the high-dollar-chicks neither!
Still missing a good fuck with a stereotypical fiery Latina with firm big boobs and big butt.

Yes, I recall this hotel group also managed the Casa Leda. Walked by once or twice but never went in but it looks from the website to be just as nice as Casa Isabella. Think they also manage a hotel on the way to Tayrona. Stayed one night there but very boring and not close enough to the main active beach area.

The place to meet some "international" oriented people was Hostel / Co-working "La Brisa Loca".
But do not expect chicas there just lurking for Gringos! This is not the Philippines!
This is just a place where English speaking people from all over the world and also Col hang out. So flirting is possible without proper Spanish skills. This is not mongering ground!

I just wanted to make sure, that according to my individual assessment:
-Casa de Leda is not the "name of the Hostel to meet local English speaking chicas."
-Casa de Leda is guest-friendly, but not a place to meet anybody, at least nor currently during Covid.
-"La Brisa Loca" is the hostel with potentially English-speaking and flirty and open guests, not a mongering place. I probably should not even have mentioned it here.

No listing for Santa Marta only Cartagena
I put this in my blog but just to be thorough I posting in each city report thread.
Here is a chart that shows city by city testing locations, type of test and test costs. As well as turnaround times.

Hi guys,
I'll be in Santa Marta for a couple of nights in June. Any recommendations for hotels, chica houses, or clubs. Thanks.
Just to let you all know that since the violent protests, the government has dropped the COVID regulations, and even the adult clubs will reopen officially this weekend. PAAAAARRRRTTTTYYYY!

[QUOTE=ProneToBone;2554246]Hi guys,
I'll be in Santa Marta for a couple of nights in June. Any recommendations for hotels, chica houses, or clubs. Thanks.[/QUOTE]I won't be much help with the chicas, houses or clubs but can make a couple of recommendations for hotels. Both are south of Santa Marta proper, more towards the airport. The first is a nice little boutique style hotel called GIO Hotel. Supper friendly staff, an amazing deck at the beach for the restaurant and bar, the rooms are comfortable but if you ask for one of the few rooms they have with balconies you may be surprised buy the tiny size of them. Still a great view and the sunsets with a nice drink in your hand and a beautiful chica in your lap. The other is more of a resort style hotel called Mercure Santa Marta Emile. Again, amazingly friendly staff, NOT directly on the beach but it's a short walk across the street to it and they make up for it with a really facilities and plenty of chicas around.
Funny story about both of them. I was traveling with my Colombian girlfriend and while she is way to shy to approach people I was very out front and then she would chime in once the conversation got started. We ended up meeting a lot of people and encouraged some to join us in the room at both places.
I book everything on either my Choice Rewards account or [URL]Hotels.com[/URL] and you will get much better pricing. A lot of people there use [URL]Booking.com[/URL] as well but don't just show up and expect to get the best rates. Another trick I use is I know where I want to stay and pull it up on the app but I don't finish the registration until I arrive and I always ask to see a couple of rooms before I finalize it. Once I find the room I want I make the selection for that type room and finish the registration while I'm standing at the lobby desk and get the best prices always.
Just a couple of tips for what they're worth.
As always, be safe and have a blast.
SKY.
When do you plan to arrive?
I might still be around. I have another friend visiting from MDE tmrw for a few nights, so I will be out and about. Best clubs were Bananas and Babilonia. They open tonight.

Haven't been to Santa Marta in a few years and decided to return. This time though I rented an apartment in a building named El Penon Del Rodadero in Rodadero instead of staying at the AC Marriot in Santa Marta. The building is the first building that is beachfront at the end of the beach to the South and has two swimming pools. I found it on [URL]Booking.com[/URL], it was a last minute decision to come here on Friday and it's a two bedroom two bath place, an ill equipped kitchen, but good AC in the bedrooms, a killer balcony, and a large Olympica market a block away, and direct beach access. Brought a Chica with me this time versus staying in Santa Marta proper and pulling Chicas from the parks and Malecon. The beach is shut down at 6 PM in Rodadero but opens up at daylight. Went to Playa Blanca yesterday and won't go back there, it was a fucking zoo. Went to Parque de Novios on Friday night to eat and the place was packed. Today I'm headed by taxi to Taganga and hopefully won't be as crowded as Playa Blanca. I've been just eating in the apartment versus hitting restaurants in Rodadero most of the time, so don't have a go to seafood place to eat at to recommend but will try a place tonight.
It's hotter then hooker in heater here, and I miss the weather in Medellin, but the Ocean is hard to beat and great for swimming.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]I stayed in a two bedroom two bath apartment named Penon Del Rodadero. It's an older building but the very first one on the side of the hill at the end of Rodadero Beach. It cost approximately $ 850,000 COP for three nights and I booked it thru [URL]Boooking.com[/URL]. A bit weird checking in and thankfully I have a Bancolombia account and just paid on the spot. Incredible killer views from the balcony. AC which is totally necessary there. A good place to shack up, fuck, swim, and eat seafood.

Turns out a lot of the other booking sites are already linked to it, in Asia. I was having problems including showing up and being told I did not have a reservation after making one until I switched to. . . Starts with an A? In Asia. Yeah, I know, little help there.
With Booking dot com I got to their "Genius" level really quick without trying for a ten percent discount. Ayenda has offered me another 20% discount for being a faithful customer (one hotel only). That puts me in the single digit dollars per night range with those combined discounts. Ostee Out.

It used to be that the hotel sites guaranteed the best rates but I do not see that advertised as much I think. Marriott in Cali was 30% less on third part website than Marriott and Intercontinental in Cancun was 30% less than IC's own website. Going to Trip Advisor saved me $200 for my hotel booking for the IC Hotel in Cancun.

She didn't, however, block me or anything like that so I'm thinking I could hit her up the next time I'm up that way, if I want to, and see what it is. I guess the knucklehead sentiment came from the fact that freaks like this get on regular platforms but I guess that is because dudes go on regular platforms instead of the gazillion sites with hoes.

I was with a girl once catching the train in Medellin and a dude came up to us and asked us for directions (which train to catch). I explained to my girl that, that was game and the dude really wanted to hit me up for money. Low and behold, my girl gave him the directions and he did something completely different and irrational. At that point, I think she might have understood how when you get hit up by people all the time, you can tell by their body language and the look in their eyes if they want to hit you up for money.
The same applies to talking to chicas online, which I'm sure you already know. This is another example. As soon as I asked her what she does for a living and she doesn't immediately answer and ask me stupid sh*t like - "do I live alone" - just incase she sees an opportunity to possibly drug / and or rob me. I cut the convo short and wish her luck. She then admits that she is a hoe and I tell her. That's what I thought by the way you talk. In other words, you sound like a Hoe.
Looks like she is not missing many meals, esp cake.

Speak of the devil. Yesterday my girl said that I could stay in her house or a hotel when I come to Valledupar. I asked what her mom was going to say. She said she had to talk to her about it. She just hit me up and said that her mom said to talk to her dad about it. I have stayed at chick's houses before with their family.

[/QUOTE]It is a common question asked by people that want to drug and / or rob you as well. I can tell by and when the question is asked, if the person is full of sht. My gut told me she was a hoe and possibly more by when she asked the question in the flow of the convo. A hoe can be taken to a love motel so she doesn't need to know if I live alone. I don't bring hoes to my apartment.
Obviously, if the question is asked in the normal flow of the convo, then it could be interpreted as innocuous.

I've spent about 4 weeks in Cartagena this year. Hoes frequently ask where your friends? I always say around the corner at the other bar, or with a Chica. Or my friend has an apartment on a different floor. I never admit to traveling solo. This is when it pays off to be seen casually chatting with other travelers at the bar. I also have a cool Colombian dude I sometimes barhopp with, of course his beers are on me. But the Chivas with bad intentions definitely target dudes who are solo. Be careful! Have fun, but be careful!

Who knows when one of these girls are going to travel 4,000 miles, sneak into the US, figure out where I live and then break in to rob me.
Because I've gotten that question 100 times and it's usually after I tell them I live in the US.

What info would you like? Plenty of street workers in Pqe de LOS Novios in the evenings, also around Pqe Bolivar and Cra 2 that runs between the 2 places.
Working girl clubs / bars. All open. Bananas, Coco Bongos, Babilonia, Renobar. Also the bar next to Bananas is open during the day. Don't remember its name. Old's Bar or smthg like that.
Other options. Casa Blanca. A casa on the main road from Sta Marta just as you drop over the hill in to Rodadero. Mileroticos is good for home delivery. Also the managers of Babilonia, Renobar and Bananas. Make friends with them and they will send you whatsapp photos of their girls that you can contact for home deliovery during the day.
That should keep you busy. .

I'll try and update with any new intel but yeah Bananas and Mileroticos always works well for me.
Lot of good information here, particularly the other clubs besides bananas. I am going to be in Cartagena next week but the following week I have a reservation for a few days at a nice hotel next to Novios so it appears I will be in the right place for easy pickings. What are the chicas asking for as far as short and long term rates? I found Bananas on my last visit to be pretty sleazy. Are the other places you note of similar ilk?

Rates. Well, the clubs have fixed rates. Sometimes they try to charge you a tourisy price. Just ask the manager for the real rate so the girls don't cheat you.
As for Mileroticos and the street. Difficult to see because they all have their own prices. Short time can be as low as 30 or 40 k, but usually 60 k or so. Home delivery us usually a little more because they price is for 1 hour from Mileroticos.
Your correct. My experience has been most SouthAmerican sex clubs are pretty sleaze to just gross. I once went to a sex operation style club (burdel) outside of Cusco that was beyond disgusting and decided not to indulge. The upstairs rooms in Bananas comes to mind. Same holds true for most Central America joints though I have been to some decent places in Guadalajara. These are sex clubs disguised as estéticas (that is what they call themselves) but the rooms and overall facilities are nice in many of them and the girls are usually shown in a line up for your choosing.
If I recall, you just hangout in Bananas and wait / hope for the right one to come along. Several years I met a hottie from MDE there and asked her to come to my hotel room instead, which was right across the street at a boutique style hotel. That scenario worked out quite well as she like the environmental change and hot showers as well. I had her over a couple of times. Most of the girls in Bananas, if they are not from there, stay at a house several doors down from Bananas. Though one time, I was over in a shopping arcade and saw a girl working in a shop who I recognized from the club.

The action has been constrained to a small area to me.
Lost a bit of time due to logistic but I managed to visit a few clubs.
Bananas was the busiest one around 9 pm with a lot of really beautiful ones. The line up is not the same during the day and is visually more "next door", still I met a cool one during day shift. Babilonia was the second busiest with a different kind of line up, younger, overall slimmer and looking less interested. I visited a few other ones but these were too empty.
Saw a few girls at the parks but the option did not appealing to me, especially after having been approached by a team of 2.
Did not try the escorts scene by lack of time.
I eventually did one toda la noche with a very sweet, very hot, 1m78 tall gorda with beautiful body shapes. I probably overpaid on that one.

This was my 2nd trip to Santa Marta. The first trip was in February and maybe because of covid but it seemed kind of dead but I liked the town and the beaches. So this time I brought a super hot 20 year old Vennie with me by bus from Medellín. We had a great time, stayed at the Sol Inn on cra 1 right in front of Santa Marta Bay, great hotel for 120 k COP a day right on the beach, balcony with hammock, AC, Claro cable TV, nivera and breakfast included. We went to Playa Grande in Taganga, went swimming there it was nice. We went out a few times at night we checked out Parque de LOS novios. Several girls there at about 6 pm and later they were all asking 80 k COP which is like double what I'm used to paying in Medellin or Bogotá, I think one fat one said 60 k but still not worth it. Overall I had a much better trip than the first time and while Santa Marta isn't really a mongering destination like Medellin or Bogotá or even Cúcuta, it is a cool beach town worth visiting especially if you bring your own *****. Playa Grande in Taganga and Playa Rodadero in Rodadero were nice for swimming.

Street girls in the big cities are a little cheaper, but 80 k is still only USD 25 - not the end of the world. And a lot cheaper than all but street workers and casa girls in the big cities. You can also find cheaper in on the malecon, and around pqe bolivar. Clubs are also reasonable 100-120 k.

There's not a lot of info about it online but it's really close to Venezuela in the La Guajira department.

Gabacho.[/QUOTE]I ate at a couple very good restaurants in Riohacha. Surprising to me. But I did see a bunch of UN and MSF vehicles outside of the nice hotel, so I guess there is a market for it. There is a place on the beach called Bonanza that sells drinks in a cool environment, there are wood-fired pizzas there too. Riohacha is the jumping-off point to go up to the Alta Guajira, see the Wayu people, go to the northernmost point in South America. I enjoyed it. Good for a couple days. There's activity on mileroticos, you can identify the casas from there.

Looks like you can do both in Santa Marta and within a few hours. I would love to visit an Indigenous area. Have seen some very nice videos of a place called Palomino which is in that area too. I will have to figure out how to handle the heat and it will be well worth it. Good to see you guys enjoying all Colombia has to offer. Tayrona looks very nice too. Hopefully I will be writing a report in February.
P.S. Wrong forum but guys buying older phones to use should make sure that WhatsApp still supports their model. IPhones must have IOS 10.0 or higher and maybe some problems with older phones and IOS 15.0. Androids affected too.
I haven't posted a report for some time, but did get a chance to get away to Sta Marta for 5 days.
I spent a lot of time during the day on the beach, and at night taxied into the city or took the local bus.
I only regret passing on one nice chica with a larger build, in the city itself.
I did several walk thru at Bananas which had fine Chicas but I never priced them, concentrating on Parque de Los Novios, the Malecon and Parque Bolivar (in the early evening).
I find the prices in Sta Marta had increased substantially, and disappointingly that Colombia had gone inflated.
While settling for no chicas in the ciudad I did well in Rodadaro, a place I had never experienced SWers before.
On the primary road, not the thru road, on which stores such as Exito and Speedo along with countless tiendas and souvenir shops line, there is a clique of putas that offer a welcome diversion.
They come out late and mingle with the street vendors, and might not be easy to pick out mainly due to the fact one is less observant in this area. I have to properly thank a local tout, whom I forgot to tip, LOL, of their existence.
The first night I picked out a busty 21 year old Columbiana from Bucaramanga, who drank all my beer and was generally a hoot. Once she started on the hotel beer she was gently escorted to an external drinking location. Colombia had suspended IVA on domestic hotel stays till Dec 31, so other than taking her ID there was no other financial repercussions. 100 K.
I returned to the clique a day or two later, after giving up on centro Sta Marta. I picked out a flaca Venezolana, who was all business and reflected the incessant phobia of the BBBJ. She came to the hotel too, 80 K.
I tried to repeat but couldn't get past the con condom so passed.
I have to make note of one particular restaurant in Rodadaro which defies the high prices generally found in this tourist trap and offers great Asado BBQ chicken. Its a Sta Marta chain called [URL]https://www.facebook.com/PIKO-TOM-Pollos-118975893717002/[/URL].
They have another location in Sta Marta, and I saw one in Gaira while on the local bus.
If you are familiar with Portuguese chicken the quality of this BBQ is comparable, the Asado variant being the spicier.
During the next two days in Bogota, I spent most time in Santa Fe, finding the prices had not changes much, but once again the BBBJ becoming more rarer during the last year.
I finally became a member, which did not take effect until after my trip unfortunately as the methods to pay are difficult. I am grateful to the other posters of information that saves valuable vacation time.
Kutler.
My apologies as I could not attach this photo to the post.
This city block in Rodadaro at night time becomes a gathering point for Putas.
It is included as it would not normally be perceived as a zona Roja type of neighborhood.

Theíthe a search for Ayenda Hotel and got multiple answers most with Agenda followed or beginning with a 4 digit number some with other words in the name and most in Centro. Does your place have more to the name? Thanks.

As far as bringing Chicas in, I don't know what the policy is, I had one check in with me who basically didn't leave the room.
You may be better pressed to just rent a room in a budget Hotel which won't cost a lot and bring them there. There's a bunch around Banana's and others all over the place. There's also some very basic love motels near the main park, not Parque Novios, which the girls will direct you to. I saw no other old farts like me with any young tarts while at the AC Hotel.
Hopefully this helps.

OK- I came down from MDE today and it was an interesting flight though relatively crash free. I was pretty beat and too stupid to have a nap so I went out and had a look -ended up in Parque Bolivar. I only saw one girl and she was actually pretty hot so we wandered off to a fuck Inn and I had a great time and she was a trooper (Viviana she says) - it was 50 Kcop with kissing and BBBJ. There were some extras on top for a propina. Well we were at it some time and it was a lot of fun but I couldn't pop- anyway she was keen I should find her later and she tried to set something up with the hotel guy so I could call him to get her- her phone is elsewhere I am guessing. I was keen also and realized I need to have a nap. Which I did. So off I go back- no luck. Ask the hotel guy in person if she was around. No clear response so I give up. Well sir. I'm a sucker for tall girls and I can't believe what happened. I see a tall girl with a short dress and she calls me over. Something isn't right. Pretty face but kinda masculine. No adams apple. I checked right away and I even straight up asked if she was a woman- now she has a bubble butt so I am thinking no way that's a mans ass. I know what your thinking but this was not at all a bad looking woman. Anyway we get to the room and start to undress and it pulls its dress off and I notice the scars on its ass. And it bends over the bed and pulls the thong to one side. This is the first time I was happy about no foreplay- ok there were a couple yanks. So I said I need to see in front. No - no. I need to see. No - I get a peak and I tell it I am leaving. Anyway the money was already handed over and I am not starting that fight -so I leave. This was the first time I have been trannied but I really don't do street meat much. Though tbh. I got a BJ in Peru once that I still wonder about but ignorance is bliss. So laugh at me if you will. I am not green- prolly 1000 girls in at least 12 countries and it happened. SO- I am now wishing to redeem myself and OK. Reafirm some masculinity so I check out bananas- there were a lot of really hot girls in there mostly 7's and 8's. I talked to a really cute Vennie but my Spanish is crap and it was loud af. And I don't know the deal there at all. So I reevaluate my motive. Finish my beer and leave. The guy at the door figures I'm a looky loo so that bridge is prolly burnt. Anyway on a positive note. Had a really great dinner at a place called El Bistro. Highly recommend- just South (of Parque del Novios.

Welcome to my fave place in Colombia! Pqe de LOS Novios is much busier these days than Pqe Bolivar. Things shift about a bit over the months, but that is the current popular place for street girls. Mileroticos also works very well in Sta Marta.
The girl that you picked up. You should have taken the opportunity and banged her up the arse. You never know when you might get the chance again. You didn't have to tell us. BTW - "it" is a "she". Just so that you know.

LOL besides I am way too old to get hard enough after a few yanks to go spear fishing for shit sharks. This has to be a risky way to make a living. A lot of guys would have been way more upset than I was.
So if I have this stupid question others probably will also. I asked last night and I got the idea there were not rooms there and it was a take out sort of a deal. I am assuming there is a take out fee? Any idea how much the girls will ask for once you get them home? I mean in broad strokes for the basic service obviously that number is going to deviate but are we starting at 50 k or 200 k.
[QUOTE=Norbert61;2639395]So if I have this stupid question others probably will also. I asked last night and I got the idea there were not rooms there.[/QUOTE]There are rooms. The entrance is next door. Its the same place where most of the girls live. You need to pass back out thru the exit, then right, and immediately in to the next door (hidden behind a Bush or smthg). Its 10 or 15 for the room. Girls I think are around 80 short time, 120 for a litlte longer. Can't remember the exact details on prices.
All the clubs have rooms you can go to.

Thanks very much fellas. I really appreciate the help. I hafta decide tomorrow whether 1) I will try the clubs. Though I think I will be scuppered since it will be Sunday or 2) bang the little spinner that now calls me every day to see if I want to fuck (she really is quite good) or 3) save the jam so I can nail the SA girl Monday when I get to Medellin- this would prolly be the wisest thing. Not that that has ever been a consideration- fuck I wish I had a 20 YO cock to go with my 60 YO wallet.

Arrived from Barranquilla staying at city centre. Centre is fine here just annoying all this homeless and drugs addicts who asking for money every time in few days I was asked for money more times here than before in 12 different Colombian cities together. Never give them just walk away. Christmas eve was very quiet here just few freelancers on the streets and bars with clubs was almost empty few girls inside. Today on Christmas night it becomes a bit better see at least 10-12 different freelancers at pargue de Los novios, parque bolivar, carrera 1 c and some few more ugly one in alleys close to renobar club and babilonia. 3 of them was fuckable. Most freelancers when you passing by start to talk with you first you not need to do nothing. This way 5 different girls come to me in one hour time and offer themselves. First was Emily Venezualian 22 years old not so bad looking, she start follow me when I was passing on carrea 1 c and said lets go drink beer. I stop and said mas tarde amor. She offer me fucky fucky for 60 k -30 minutes. I ask her number she runs quickly collect her bag with phone next to her another friend and put my phone number in her phone and make short call for me. I told her I will call her tomorrow as I already have one girl before today from mileroticos.
Another 2 girls come to me at pargue de losnovios both Venezualians young ones 21 and 19 and offer threesome. As one girl was ugly a bit I collect just one girl number and ask how much for 30 min she said 80 k I told mucho and offer 60 she quickly agree. I said I call you tomorrow she start to ask can I buy her a beer I told tomorrow.
Other girl was passing with old Colombian guy and said me fucky fucky (seems they like this one frase here) . I didn't tell her nothing and she went 10-20 meters away. I get bored to sit at pargue de los novios and start to walk bananas disco side and that girl start to follow me and asking my name, where I come from and so on. I stop and a bit chat with her. She was 22 years old Colombian from Santa Marta with big boobs a bit fat but still cute face. She said let go hotel. I told her I have another girl before already so no power. I collect her number and ask how much for 30 minutes she told me 50 k + 10 room very close from here. I said tomorrow I call you and walk away. Later one more girl start to follow me when I passing by on carrera 1 c but she was a bit aggressive, touching my hands few times (I just getting suspicious on this moments never let my guard as they can pickpocket you also) I just push her hands away and walk my way.
Around 22.30 pm I check bananas disco it was a bit busy beer price 6 k for aquilla light have around 10-11 girls inside and 20 costumers most of the girls was free, but quality was not good old girls, big girls, ugly girls all opposite I like. Didn't ask the prices finish beer and left.
Walk to renobar club as second day in a row its was no girls inside the security guy told me they all gone home for Christmas.
After went to babilonia night club it was 4 girls inside one of them was cute. Aquilla light is 5 k. I start to chat with that cute girl she was Venezualian one 19 years old no children. She quoted me 100 k for 30 minutes I didn't negotiate as I don't plan take her anyway. Finish my beer and left.
On my way back to hotel stop to stardus disco bar (its just next door to coco bongo which was closed) inside was just one fat girl I ask where is all girls she said today just she is here. I ask her how much for 30 minutes she said 80 k. I just walk in and walk out. Will call it a night at least I have some freelancers numbers for next few days as clubs and discos seems its not best bet on holidays time here. Mileroticos also not the best selection at this city.
Watch out. The more they see you on the street the more aggressive they are going to be, to the point of making it uncomfortable for you to be outside.

Fokie Fokie or Fucky Fucky is what I heard from the first girl that I ever partied with in Colombia and it was in Santa Marta and 49 years ago! Must be a Santa Marta lingo passed down. The girl also used her hands to show me with one hands fingers making a circle and the other hands index finger doing the in and out. What a funny but great.

The Tall Man.
Yeah, I was in Santa Marta last October and think we corresponded a bit during that time. I remember one day after a rain storm I walked on opposite side of Malecon for several blocks until I arrived at the other large park. There was a large black girl in front of a building who used those same phrase with me and I chuckled to myself. Then it happened again inside the park. I did not think anything about it at the time but now it's mentioned here it does appear to be a popular slang phrase in Santa Marta. Of course, those who are saying it are not exactly the cream of the crop.

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2653912]It's a port city.[/QUOTE]True that!
So I am again in Santa Marta, been here for the past week and may stay for a month give or take and also will head to other areas to do fun stuff.
Last night spent over an hour in Bananas, counted about 30 plus chicas at about 8:30 PM, most were 5.5 to 6.5 with just 3 or maybe 4 of the chicas a doable 7, and that is being generous.
So after a few beers and seeing nothing that remotely motivates me to do a rato I leave and walk around town, found a decent enough slender costena over by Park Bolivar and a 10 mil hotel around the corner and she sucked like a champ, 35 mil for a good chupar, called it a night.
Don't come to SM and expecting anything special, in terms of quality and service and quantity, basically just pros in the port city.
TTM.
You are certainly resolute! I was in Bananas in October, as discussed a few posts below, and the talent was abysmal. I did take out a young fairly attractive Vennie but she was not all that great in the room. A bust, really. And my hotel desk clerk gave me somewhat of a hard time as well. I am off to Honduras and Bay of Islands tomorrow. Perhaps, I will have something to report but the posts there are at least a year old so it may be less than exciting.

Three days in Santa Marta. I'd been there before, years ago, so I sort of forgot what it was like. Since then, the tourist street that runs parallel to the shoreline has taken off. People everywhere. The bars and restaurants begin at Parque de Los Novios and the stream of tourists goes down for a few blocks before ending at Parque Simon Bolivar. Most of the girls hang out in or around Parque de LOS Novios, sitting on the wall or on benches, making kissy faces to the men who walk by.
Some are shy and don't approach. Some are more aggressive. All appear to be under 26 yo or so. My first associate was not at the park, however. I had walked around the area between Novios and the beach road, looking for a SW or something different. I enterred Bananas. About 15 girls and about 2 guys. I saw a few stunners. But it's so dark in there you need to get up close to see them. I saw a pair of cuties sitting alone. I invited myself to sit and bought a round.
Bill came to 51 K for one beer and two energy drinks. Yikes! These were not street prices. In talking to the cuter one, I could not hear what she was saying for the loud music. She seemed to be saying she wanted me to take her to my hotel and that it would cost 340 K. I had her repeat that a few times, because I could not comprehend the figure. Seemed incomprehensible. Sure, maybe there was some player who would pay that for her, but I was not that guy. Coming from Bogota or Cali where the price tag starts at 50 K I was a little gun shy. I should have pressed her into doing it right there at the love motel next door, but the fucking loud music made it impossible to communicate. So I left. Around the corner I met a doorway girl. I love doorway girls. I have met the best ones in Havana.
Just hanging out, waiting to get picked up. Like to chat about this and that. This one was from Veniz. And had a scratchy, throaty voice that sounded sexy. A fun girl who I am sure was high. She had such big hands I had to ask her if she was a girl. She laughed and said yes. I confirmed this at the love motel where we had a great time. The usual tip gave me the BBBJ I was hoping for. Finished with a payment of 120 K, including tip. We left and parted once she saw the police at the end of the block.
Next night I was sitting in the Marley Bar, hoping that the place would play the fucking Rock and Roll that they advertise on the wall. But, no. I did enjoy a very nice Gin and Tonic. But way too many tourists on that street. I sat in the park, in the shadows across from the bar, on one of the walls and just waited. I spoke to a few girls. One was beautiful, in a severe way, and flatly refused a BBBJ. She was young, so what are you going to do? I sat again and waited some more. You get approached by dudes offering to buy you a beer or water or by girls asking if you'd like company. I took another walk around and met a beautiful girl who asked for a reasonable amount of money. She was a local girl, which was also nice. As we walked, I thought I was following her to the love motel. She thought she was following me to my own hotel. Funny. I stopped and asked if she had a place. She said she did not, but did not mind walking the 10 minutes to my Airbnb. Very patient and easy going.
But I would follow those pert little tits anywhere. In my room I gave her some cut off shorts and a bra / top to match and some cute undies. She was over the moon. (I usually travel with sexy clothes to give out to the better girls I meet. It worked well in this case.) She took the tip and provided the requisite uncovered suction and then enjoyed the mirror as much as I did while we bounced around. Cost total: 120 K. We made plans to meet the next night. She said she'd be wearing her new clothes. But she never showed. Too bad. She was fun. Third night began like the previous night. Gin and tonic at Marley and pissed off that the music was not rock and roll and that there were so many white tourists around. It just feels weird to be negotiating with a girl about blowing you with no Johnny while two steps away a blond-headed family from Nebraska is talking about where they want to go eat that night. You really are mixing it up there in that tourist area with both working girls and families on vacation. Anyway, I walked around the street by the beach, tried to find a girl off the Novios call sheet, but no luck. Returned to find a Vennie sitting by herself who beckoned me over. She claimed she was in the country only 2 days. The fact that her opening bid was 80 K seemed to confirm this. We went to the motel next to Bananas for a 10 K half hour session. She seemed into it and laughed a lot. Gave her a tip for the BBBJ and she was playful with other acts. Nice girl with braces, ended with giving her 100 K plus room.
To sum up, Santa Marta in the month of March is an active site for hobbyists. Enough girls to give a little variety and had I stayed longer I might have figured out how to work Bananas, the disco, so that I could take advantage of the higher quality chicas in there. Although, all the girls I wound up with were solid 8's and that local girl was pushing 9. I only was there for three days and did not stray far from my Airbnb which was up by the busy 5th Carrera and down to the beach and a few blocks to either side. Did not find any decent empanadas. In fact, all the food on that tourist street sucked. Avoid that big Mexican place is all I can say. The one with the menu painted on the wall. I mean, how can you screw up a Quesadilla? Yech! I also took a trip to Playa Taganga and was disappointed that THIS was supposed to be the "nice" beach. Nothing special. And no girls. Just high priced food and drink. I am sure there are other places to discover, but with so little written about Santa Marta I just wanted to confirm that, at this moment, you can do all right here in and around Parque Novios.
Stay cool fellas.
EQ.
I am in Santa Marta currently.
Hit me up if someone wants to grab a beer and shoot the breeze.
Stayed few nights in La Solera Del Pozo.
Very good location in old town, less than 1 min walk from Parque de LOS Novios.
Junior suite with terrace 190 k. Good AC, constant hot water.
Small safe in room. Netflix but quite a small tv on the wall. King size bed.
Property looks recently renovated.
Breakfast is included, but it is pretty meager in quantity.
Not many other guests, ones I saw were Colombian tourists and couple of westerners.
Quiet wibe, does not seem to be a party hotel.
Did not ask about guest policy, but you get your own keys of outside door. Only one all-around guy around and he seemed to leave every night at 10 o'clock or something. Got a chica from the park in one time. You also have to let the chica out with your key.
I would recommend, except for the outside noise. The night clubs etc nearby blast away late into the night, and noise gets in the room.
Good place for short stays, if you are sound sleeper or stay up partying late yourself.
Santa Marta Centro around Parque de LOS Novios is really buzzing at evenings. Decent amount sw's too but many of these were a bit too tattooed and jaded for my taste. Many are Venezuelan.
Younger, slimmer and prettier ones start with 200 k but will go for 100 k / hour.
You will be offered other colombian products too in Novios and Malecon.
Parque Bolivar is really quiet in comparison. Although I did pick up a pretty decent colombian sw from Bolivar at Monday afternoon. Asked for 80 k but quickly agreeded to 50 k with CIM, which she sadly botched.
Sw's are easier to recognize in Bolivar as no girls hang around there for other reasons.
Centro is also bit dodgy, lots of touts and beggars. Shirtless young guys are the ones to watch out. There are police around but these guys know when they are not.
If you are not used to urban crime, you might find this bit uneasy after a while.
Weather is steady 30 degrees, and most evenings also around 27. This can get tiring too if you not used to hot weather.
Girls selection is pretty good but not if you are picky. Pretty, young and nice ones (with decent price) can be found, but many get too thick at early age or get too pro attitude.
Ones with good attitude are quite loving and passionate, you can get good rico BF treatment. Some can get even bit too passionate (I got bite marks).
For some reason girls here are not very good at oral. Many seem to think garganta profunda or deep throat is the coolest thing but are bad at sucking.
I would recommend Santa Marta to mongerers with some spanish skills to integrate more quickly, and tolerance for heat.
As said before, Mileroticos works ok here. Prices vary from 50 k short times to 400 k / hour "VIPs".
Some ladies are on other sites too but ME is biggest and there seem to be less scams (like govips).
Naturally all photos are at least a bit flattering.
There are few pros and semi-pros on Tinder, Badoo and Colombiancupid too. Filtering them out takes a bit of time. Lots of regular nice girls on these too.
But going for these requires some Spanish game skills. Also most of them live home with family, but some guys love this kind of challenge.
On Mileroticos, girls don't put location on every ad (they have many). So ask for ubicación early. If it is near you, you can try to arrange a meet at your.
Place or hotel. Girls don't travel far for unknown first time session.
If you have visited locations before, you know that they vary from plain flats and hour-based dingy hotels to a mattress in a closet.
Your apartment or hotel are most likely nicer.
About location in Mileroticos, Rodadero seemed to have bit less but more desirable girls. Centro had bit more older gals who have also more.
Graphic content on their ads, and cheaper prices. Not a single one of those I contacted was from Taganga.
During my stay I had two Mileroticos from Rodaredo, one good (120 k) and 2 okay ones (150 k with taxi). Also had two in centro, one was very mechanical (150 k but nice black with tight pussy) and.
Another one that was totally shit (forgot the price, 100+). On these I went for younger and slimmer 19-25 year olds, prices reflect that.
On "legimate" dating sites I got a lot of slow discussion, a couple of vennies that were too hard to organize, and a colombian girl from Tinder (chubbier that in pictures).
That wanted a gift before bedroom and wanted to get oral but would not give one without rubber. She tasted exceptionally sweet though.
There are many shitty ones in Mileroticos, as in many working girls. One site you can check for local guys references is doncolombia dot com.
I got one of my ok ones from their recommendation. There are reviews about who is a dead cow or who has bad attitude.
Not too many reviews of SMA girls but some. Site is in Spanish.
One theory that I formed, but a little untested, is to focus on new ones on ME. Check the site way before your visit, and look for new ones.
Pictures are mostly same, text content changes with new ads. My impression is that the local guys jump quickly on the new ones.
Of course there are girls that say they are new in town even after many years.
Not much to say about Taganga. Mostly divers, some family tourists coming to see the national park, plus a couple of local drug addicts.
Maybe a 100-200 meters of the bay is in beach use, rest is for boats.
Chill vibe, beach is nice on sunsets. Bring your own girl kind of place.
Sensation and Miramar were closed, so not a very lively place. On weekdays no late blasting bars. I was there on weekdays so no info on weekend action.
Stayed in Svahns Aparthotel for 450 k apartment. Later got the same big apartment for the price on the smaller apartment.
Still a bit pricy. Location is good, maybe 30 meters from the beach road.
Svahns is ok clean place and quiet, but depends on other guests also. Staff leaves around six, you get your own gate key.
No hot water in Svahns. Probably same situation in most places in Taganga, correct me if I am wrong.
Rodadero is quieter, cleaner and safer version of centro. Lots of Colombian families visiting, you can see this also in hotel selection. Many hotels offer.
Family rooms with bunk beds. Some touts and beggers but little less than centro.
Beach is cleaner and bigger than centro.
Did not see many sw's, only saw one certain sw in Rodadero, small slim girl with blonde hair or wig.
There are Rodadero-based girls in Mileroticos. I got two, one was basic ok, but other one I would repeat.
I am not a fan of night clubs so I didn't check them. Heard though that girls work from there (I forgot the name, a night club that was mentioned here before).
I got handed a card for Gentlemens Club, place called Casa Loma, "Un lugar exclusivo para caballeros. Rumba segura hasta el amanecer. ".
It is on google maps, and literally right on the street. Same house on their facebook page, google maps and on the card.
Easy to find, different number on the card than on fb page though.
Probably the same casa mentioned here before.
I stayed in Hotel Arhuaco, paid 303 k via Booking dot com for suite with balcony facing the street (speedo shop). Later paid desk price around 264 k.
Older hotel which seems to be partially remodelled recently.
Good location near the beach, but also quiet because no open-late places very close by.
Good big bed and good AC. Working safe with odd double key system.
Good large tv with working channels and good picture quality.
Arhuaco is girl-friendly. They just wanted ID from my chica.
No hot water which is the biggest drawback. This seems to be common thing in Rodadero. I talked to a tour rep who said that maybe resorts have it, but not many else.
Perhaps some member who has personal current experience with hot water in Rodadero can name a place that have it.
Many hotels (including Arhuaco) say they have it but that's BS mostly. Do not believe hotel web sites or booking sites.
Would I recommend? Comparing to other cities I would say it is bit overpriced, but in Rodadero maybe ok.
If you want to take a girl properly out, the Burukuka has very nice views at sunset. I didn't try the food. Drinks were surprisingly moderately priced.

Thanks again!
Am heading down to Sta Marta for a few weeks, maybe months, from next week.
Does anybody know if there are any nice hotels on the beach that I could bring like 1 girl a day to without problems or some high fee? There is a girl in Santa Marta who I spent 2 days with in Cartagena and I want to have a threesome with her and her friend and also bring in a few other ones.

I didn't do threesome while in Santa Marta, so no tested info on how cool they are with this.
I would do this by booking a three person room, price is mostly the same, and would try not to be too blatant with this.
Arhuaco was pretty relaxed, I would guess they'the be ok with this if you book for three.
Calle 23 Centro.
I stayed in Double Room with 2 Double Beds and Balcony with Ocean View. Prices for this vary depending on weekdays, 115 usd-123 usd from booking sites.
If I remember correctly the desk price was bit more. Booking sites say that breakfast is included, but front desk says not.
Some confusion about that, I don't know if they charged some breakfasts afterwards.
Hotel is clean and stylish, though some web reviews say that "it's not really a Marriot".
I would say it's good, but one expects a little bit more with that price.
Room and beds are really good with duvet. AC is good, needs a bit of configuration.
Bathroom sink design is idiotic, and faucets and shower holders were bit broken or poorly maintained.
Constant hot water. Clean new fridge and working safe. Capsule coffee maker.
Lobby bar was really served by pool bar staff, meaning slow. Lobby store could have more normal selection and get rid of the fancy stuff.
Breakfast is good, a bit luke warm towards the end. Some variation every day.
Girl-friendly. No sneaking in, but the security only wants to copy the cedula at the reception.
Location is good, few minutes walk to Parque de LOS Novios. Couple more to Bolivar. No noise from street inside the room.
Would I recommend? Yes, because there are not many quality quiet places near centro. There are many nice looking boutique hotels in the centro, but I don't know if they succeed in keeping the noise out.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2732099]Beachfront 4 star like the Marriott.[/QUOTE]There is a beachfront Marriott Resort (Playa Dormida) just south of Rodadero. I've also stayed at the beachfront Irotama Resort which was nice and I think worth it. The challenge is that they give you wrist bands at the Irotama so you'd need to keep the same Chica or have one take if off and give to the next LOL.
Calle 23 Centro.
Same building as the Marriot, they share the pool area so you can use it too.
Normal suite with balcony and kitchen 450 k front desk price, depends on what day it is. I got slightly better price from Hotels dot com. Booked for two people.
Plenty of room. Web info says 70 m2 but this seems little exaggerated.
Apartment-hotel. No lobby bar or breakfast, breakfast available from Marriot (I think 38 k).
Quiet also.
Good big bed with duvet.
In-room safe.
Girl-friendly, cedula of the girl was asked, photo of ID was ok. Minimal staff, only one guy at the counter (always there because door is locked).
Constant hot water.
Big mirror right next to bed, a nice bonus (45 degree angle but some positions work).
There is a Carulla supermarket 200 m away. Upscale store, you can find everything there.
Would I recommend? A bit pricey, but there is not many alternatives, so yes.
I used to go in Building Casa Del Rio, near the action and quiet enough for me, and I have a very light sleep, but they have just changed their roles. No more girl friendly. I had to write to 3 airbnb in the building to have a clear picture that things have changed. Looking at their available dates in airbnb, it is clear they have less requests than before, and this makes them less honest in their answers.
I'll try your suggestions, pleasekeep posting. Thank you Cadmus.
[QUOTE=Arthur62;2732994]I used to go in Building Casa Del Rio, near the action and quiet enough for me, and I have a very light sleep, but they have just changed their roles. No more girl friendly..[/QUOTE]I have stayed there many times too. The issue is that several of the owners do not know the rules, or simply lie about the rules. The last time I stayed there, the security showed the actual document bcos they were giving me a hard time. The rules state that guests are not allowed to invite guests. This is NOT the same as tennants inviting guuests. So, if I was invited to visit a tennant or owner, I could not then invite my own firnds. But tennants ARE allowed to invite guests. As I said earlier, I think several owners simply do not want working girls there orried about reputation, damage, noise etc. This is clear when you compare the various rules that the various owners write on Airbnb. They are all different. Thats bcos they make them up or don't understand them.
That being said, as much as I love staying there, the prcies have gone absolutely crazy iin the building. I used to pay 3. 5 million for a month. Now they want 5-55 million, one year later. Such a shame. All I want is a central location apartment with an outdoor pool. Surely its not too much to ask? Well, it seems so, bcos I am still searching!
Hey everyone!
I am new here and that my 1st post. I have read the last 10 pages about Santa Marta and I see several massage parlors being advertised. However, the info looks old. Just wanted to ask if anyone has updated info about casas or parlors for happy end massage. I am also looking for sex after the massage. The last info I saw was about these places being open: Paris massages, Bernal Roa Sirle Isabel, Barranco penaranda and possibly Casa blanca (which I have no clue how to get to). Also does anyone know where I can look online the girls at these parlors before going there? Or if you can recommend a girl, would be nice.
I am new here. Reading the last 10 pages or so, I get there are a few parlors in SM, but I wanted to know which ones are open nowadays. I can see from the map these: Barranco penaranda, Paris masajes and Bernal Roa sirle Isabel. What about Casa blanca or any newer parlor? Also is it difficult to find these places? Do you need a reservation to go there and generally speaking which casa has the better looking girls (I like them skinny and short)? Looking for erotic massage and sex. Is that available in each of these places or some of them limit you to happy end only?

Guest policy is until 11 PM, with Colombian ID or Passport only. It looks like Venezuelan cedula is excluded.
If you have been there, can you explain whether there is more flexibility (maybe with a tip for the doorman).

Another option to consider is renting a cheap room somewhere else that you can use as well. There's some cheap hotels on the same street as Banana's, and I once rented a room and would bring girls back from the streets that I did not want to check into the AC Marriot when I used to stay there. And rooms are cheap in the skim of things like no more than $ 15 USD a day.
So it's an option if your out late.

That doesn't seem right.
I emailed the hotel, but got no response so far.
This def. Looks like my kinda place--and I think I will book 3 nights here by myself in September: I just want to make sure that if I find a chick on Seeking or elsewhere that she is good to spend the night / most of the night with me.
I'm traveling alone, second time in Santa Marta.
Anyone willing to meet to share good stories?

My mind was telling "Variety is the spice of life", "you only live once". But I should have paid no attention. What happened to "better the devil you know" when I need it most?
So I was in Coco Bongos last night, quite early. Only 2 girls had arrived. A small skinny girl that was absolutely wasted, and a big mamasan at the end of the bar. Who it turned out was not a mamasan at all, but a 21 girl that enjoyed biting my nipples. Given the poor choice and ambience, I wanted to get in and out ASAP. No one was around, so I thought, what the hell?
I have gone short time w some less than ideal girls, but I can not remember ever going w a girl quite as huge as this one. I thought I would strike one for the adventure. They say ugly girls are the hardest workers, so I thought I might get some pay back. . But. I could have tied her tits together, they were so long and withered. I could barely wrap my arms around her waist (if that's what it was called). I didn't dare venture any further south. She kept asking me to spank her on her arse, but I doubt she would have felt anything. Honestly, it was the closest I can imagine to having sex with a farm animal.
So that's my adventure with testing out girls that I would be ambarrassed to walk outside with. Nest time I will find comfort in familiarity.

I had an internet date show up at a restaurant on my birthday once in the early 2000's when I was stuck in the USA a few years after my divorce. I sat in the car waiting for 'Whomever " to show up. I don't recall why I did not have a pic, after all I was kinda new at this online shit. So I see this huge fucking woman kinda waddle inside the place, and I just know it's her. I'm thinking, OMG, do I just drive away? NOOO! You got to see this through playa! So I go inside, and this hot receptionist is taking me to the table where the extremly large ass woman is sitting, and the look on the receptionist face said it all, "jigalo, bum that uses poor fat woman" all of it.
I ate, she paid, gave me a birthday gift and wanted to come to my place. Poor thing was quite desperate. I was really taking one for what team, I really don't know. I figure the only way my dick was going to reach her pussy was doggie style. She gets on my bed, turns around and I suddenly get hit with a cloud of ass smell that almost knocked me down. Whoa! I'm pumping doggie style, and really wondering where I lost my way, when she starts crying! Turns out she is fucking married, and now is feeling guilty! OMG can this shit get any worse! Thankfully I didn't and she got the hell out of my house and my life. Never had such a plus sized model before or after.
I was in Sta Marta last week, Sept 5-10.
The small SW community that existed in Rodadaro seems to evaporated, Parque de LOS Novios / Bolivar seems to be still operating, but some crazy prices are being put out there.
For example, I understand why a bar girl might ask for $100 K short time as she might have to share some of it with the Bar, but in the Parque where she is an independent, not likely.
There were a couple of lookers this year but the combination of heat, quality and price, left me to enjoy the beach and pool this year and pack up for Santa Fe for mongering the last half of my time.

The year was 1978, I was in my mid 20's. I went to this party and got pissed drunk. I woke up next morning with a whale on my bed next to me. She looked at me and said wow you're amazing. I had apparently done three rounds with her. I recalled the experience as if it were wet dreams. Dropped her home and never saw her again.
I got to Santa Marta at 2 pm. I had been messaging for about 2 weeks with a girl from Seeking. A 'costena' look: frizzy hair, tiny little spinner: very cute. 23 years old, soon to be 24.
Since check in was at 2, we had planned for her to arrive at 3. I whatsapp her upon arrival and she tells me she has a project with her school she has to finish, then go home and is very sorry, but won't be at my place until 5. Typical, but, okay. She and I messaged, video's and chatted a bunch. She even video's me while walking across her campus to class one day just to how me her school and how she was dressed for the day: very professional and looking hot. I felt she was sincere, and, wanted to walk around a little, get things for the room etc.
I stayed at Grand Marina Suites: I could not suggest this place more! THANKS to whichever one of you had suggested it to me in earlier postings in this chat. Really: a fantastic place to stay!!
My suite had: 2 full bathrooms, big comfy king bed, 2 balconies, full kitchen, stellar view of both the sea / beach and of the mountains and town. Nice people at the reception, locked front door with someone one duty 24/7. This place checked all the boxes for me. A little expensive for Colombia at 115 a night: but well worth it!
I also asked if this girl would take std tests before we met so we could skip the condoms. She agreed if I did the same. I told her I could also show her the vasectomy scar so she wouldn't stress about getting preggers: nobody wants that!
She had sent me her test results, photos of the tests, her receipts (it was only 60 bucks for hers), etc. We had open dialogue about this the week before and she appreciated that I was trying to be safe. She is a university student and wanted some extra $ to buy a new pair of shoes and some books she needed for a school project or something. She said she doesn't normally do this and I was her first and only Seeking date. Who knows is its true since these girls always lie: but, this one seemed sincere and her photos, social media, and our conversations all seemed to back her story.
She arrives just after 6. We meet in the reception and she is TINY, young looking and really cute: but almost too young looking. She registers with her ID, and shows me her sedula: 23 about to turn 24. Born in 1998.
She looked 16. Almost too young. But, she is legal, cute, a nice person and I liked her vibe.
We head upstairs, crack a bottle of 'Rosado Rose, and have a nice chat on the balcony looking at the views. I asked if she could bring me some weed, she said the guy who she got it from was late and that's why she was closer to 6 and not 5 for arrival--no problem. She pulls out a nice sakc of really good 'krippy'-high end dank weed. Probably about5 grams. And says she paid 45 kcop for it! LOL! 10 bucks for some realy heady niggets! Awesome!
I made a bong with some things from the store and smoked some weed. She didn't partake and said it wasnt her thing, ut didn't care what I did.
Eventually, we end up on the couch, in the bedroom and had a great sex-a-thon. She was a fantastic kisser, passionate energy and way into it. We really vibed and fit well. This was fun.
After I cum and get up, I notice a little red staining on the top sheet. Uh oh. I point. Her face turned red with humiliation / sadness. I say, its okay and she tells me, she finished her period a day or 2 before but we had so much sex that it triggered a little more release. Hmmmmm. Okay-I don't know how to feel, I am not into period sex.
I shower. She super cleans the bed and we throw the sheets that had a little staining on them into the washing machine.
She showers in the other shower. 2 bathrooms was really nice!
We then get dressed and take a walk to parque de novios and find a restaurant to eat and have a nice chat.
Post dinner, we walk along the water for a bit, then back to the hotel. I smoke, she pours some more wine. She is then standing on the balcony overlooking the city light I come up behind her and start grinding on her a bit: we are plaing a game like 'ispy' and pointing things out to each other. While doing this I reach my hands under her skirt, into her panties from behind and start playing with her pussy and ass. She unzips my jeans while facing away from me and starts grabbing at my dick. I lift her skirt and stick it in her pussy, from behind, while she is leaning over the glass balcony 'wall' that's about 4 feet high. I am banging her from behind, slow and sensual while taking in the view from the 20th floor balcony while also smoking from a bong and sippin some wine- - sometimes life is good!
Eventually she turns around, I slip out of her and we start making out, heading into the bedroom again.
I start fucking and look down and see some red. YIKES!
I pull out and point and jump into the shower: she is really embarrassed and thought she was totally clean and done, but, all the fucking she says triggered her a bit. What can you do?
She was sweet, sincere, very sexy and pretty and it was just bad timing. I get out of the shower, she has no changed the sheets to the one we washed before dinner and put this other sheet we put on the bed into the laundry: she also did the dishes at times, and kept the place clean: it was like having a girlfriend and maid in 1 person. Works for me!
She comes over, hugs me and almost with tears in her eyes says she feels terrible and is sorry she is still bleeding and really thought that was done 2 days ago. I tell her no worries, its just one of those things. I am still glad she is there. This turns into a delicious blowjob with me cumming in her mouth and her wallowing at least some of it. So, no real complaints.
We snuggle some more and both go to sleep. In the morning I wake up before her, go out on the balcony for a wake-and-bake, then have some juice and make some eggs. She gets up, brushes her teeth, eats a little, then tells me to lay down on the bed. She jumps in the shower and tells me to wait. 5 minutes later, she comes out wearing really sexy lingerie that she says she was going to model for me the previous night, but we never got to that, so since she brought it, she wanted me to see it: a g-string black bikini bottom with a dark purple top that was tight, sheer, lacy, silky and really sexy. Victorias secret stuff. Wowzers!
We start kissing and fucking and having a good time. I don't see any red anymore so, we have liftoff. We fuck until I drop a load inside her then go to the showr and make out for a while in the shower. When we get out of the shower I take her hand, bring her to the other shower, and say, lets try this one: so we shower again and are laughing at it while we make out a bunch more.
Then we head down tot he pool. She would go in the ppol because she didn't want tto pool water to ruin her hair: even though her hair got wet in the shower. Strange.
Anyway, post pool and sun, we go for a walk, and get lunch. Then back to the apartment, we chat and she says she needs to go.
I give her money for her tests, 40 kcop for her taxi, and 500 kcop for her time and energy and she was very happy.
So was I.
I then went to the aquarium, then over in the other direction to see tagonga beach, then back to the malecon in santa marta where I found dinner near parque de LOS novios at a great vegetarian restaurant. Inexpensive quality food: yes please!
Walking around, a few girls made eyes or waved me over: I was done for the day / night and my tank was empty from lots of sex the previous 3-4 days.
Back to the room to watch Pinocchio on my laptop on the balcony while smoking from my home made bong. Creepy crappy movie, nice view.
I pass out for the night.
In the morning, I wake up and check Tinder and Seeking since I hadn't done either of those in a bit. There is a mesage on my whatsapp from a girl I previously messaged with on Seeking.
She says its her kids birthday that day, and she will be busy in the afternoon, but free at night if we want to meet and check our vibe. I tell her pretty much where I am staying, and that I have no plans. Its about 9 AM.
She then says that she is downtown, and about to go to Carulla. The supermarket down the block from Grand Marina Suites where I am staying. She says her sister works at a hotel near there and she had to go there with HR sister, si if I want to say Hello, real quick, we can meet.
I needed to buy something there anyway, so I walk over and as I am walking out after buying some fruit, this chick in a purple dress who wasnt super hot, but hot enough, walks up. I told her what I would be wearing, so she approaches and says Hi. We talk for a minuter and then I say: I am about to go smoke some weed on my balcony, want to join me? She says: I only have an hour or 2 because I have to do things for my kids birthday this afternoon. We head up to the room, smoke a bowl and she gets really high. She is staring out at the view and dancing a little to music I had on. I liked how she shook her ass, her dancing made her sexier than she was.
I then tell her, its hot, I am going to cool off, so I sit under the AC on the couch. She comes in and asks what I want to do: I say, well, if a m being honest: I would really like a blowjob. 10 seconds later, she is pulling off my jeans, pulls out my dick and proceeds to give me an amazing blowjob--a minute into it with my dick in her hand she says, yo are going to help me get things for today--I said, sure, I am happy to help. No specifics given. And I push her head back down onto my dick.
Great ball sucking.
We then head over tot he bed. I had condoms on the end table near the bed and some lube: she takes them both, and opens a condom: I wasnt really into fucking her. She was a 7 at best and I just didn't want to fuck her. But, she climbed on top and within a mnute she could tell I was going flaccid. I said, don't feel bad: I just hate condoms-but, with no papers: I am not fucking her without a rubber. I then tell her, I really like how she sucks. So, she gets back to sucking and right as I am about to cum, pulls me out of her mouth, finishes me in her hands and then rubs my cum on my dick and on her tits and keeps playing with my cum by both playing with my dick and with her tits. It was strange but kinda hot.
She then gets up and take s a shower. I jump in the other shower.
I put 150 kcop on her purse.
She gets dressed, gathers her stuff and I point to the money. I say, 'esta feliz' and she says yes: but a bit sheepishly-she may have wanted / expected more, and had that vibe, but didn't say anything. She left and I never heard from her again.
I shower, yet again, smoke more weed then go walk al around santa marta.
On 20th and I think 5th or 6th I found a manicure / pedicure place that my instincts said I should check.
I go in and there is an older woman, in her 60's I would say who tells me a mani / pedi is 25 kcop: sure, I'll do that!
A young totally gorgeous in her 20's girl comes out, they all had covid masks on and her hair was clipped up short and tight to be hygenic and clean / out of the way: yet, she was still super hot. Anyway, she brings out the water to soak my feet abd gives me the best Manicure / pedicure with foot scrub, foot massage, pleasant conversation and nice vibes that I have ever received. Midway through, I ask the old lady if she know where I can get a facial and my face cleaned. She said, yes, right there, for 90 kcop. So, since the mani / pedi was the real deal, I said why not.
It was a great experience! They did all the things one would expect from a cleaning facial, took well over an hour, and had me so relaxed I was falling asleep.
Post facial, I pay and the ladies chat with me for a bit. Young girl took her covid mask off: and WOW she was a goddess. Unreal how pretty this girl was. I asked if she anted to join me for dinner or to hang out: she declined and said she has to go home to her family in Rodadero. I said: I think you are beautiful, and if I lived here I would totally try to date you: you have a normal job and gorgeous and seem like a good person: she said, if I lived in santa marta, she would let me meet her parents and they would have to approve before I could take her out. I looked perplexed so the older woman laughed and said: here in santa marta if we don't know you in the church or from the school, then you have to meet the family 1st before you can date. Interesting. Not sure if I understood it all, but I think they were telling me: we are religious, and 'good' people who do things very traditionally--this only made me want the girl more since she was clean and wholesome jajajja--but I am not moving to santa marta.
Post mani / pedi / facial, I walked around, found a decent spot for dinner, then headed back to the hotel room. Tired and drained. Thinking night 2 will just be super relaxing and chill. It was.
I fell asleep and woke up the next morning to my whatsapp messages dinging an alert. I check my phone and my little spinner girl from my 1st night in santa marta, who I didn't see my 2nd night or hard from since she left was messaging me.
She said she has classes for the day and wanted to know I f I wanted her to come by at around 10 pm that night, after she has dinner with her family: I said, sure, why not, for how long: she then said-if come by, its for the night--she has to tell her brother ad mom who she lives with that she is out at a friends house for the night, and can't just go home really late since that would be strange. I explained I would only have about 400 kcop to offer because I had been spending too much. She said: no worries, she likes me and wants to come over and see me and its only about 15-20 minutes away at night with no traffic.
She shows up about 1020 pm that night. She was dressed up! I mean lookin' good, make up, sexy cocktail dress, hair done. I mean: she put in some effort. I asked her what she told her family and she said that she told her mom that her girlfriend was having a party and she was going to it then staying at her girlfriends house.
I meet her in the reception, bu she was laready registered as my 32 on the reservation, so she could have just come up. I say, you look really nice, and I am glad you wanted to see me again, she replies that she wants to make up to me for the period drama. Now that its been another day and she is clean and all that. And, wow, did she make up for it! We played pretty much the whole night. I came 2 more times, and had. A 'dry orgasm' where I could feel myself cumming and pumpin. But was dry. Wow. No anal, but everything else uncovered, passionate and fun! A fantastic night. We passed out at about 4 am I guess?? We kised like lovers must when the dude returns from a war or something-it was non stop high energy romantic passion. A great time we were both really into.
I woke up 830 ish, and let her sleep for a while. Then when she woke, we cuddled a bit and just chilled, made eggs, ate pineapple and strawberries, and just hung out until.
11 ish? Then she said she needed to go, and I needed to catch my ride back to barranquilla anyway. Which I did leaving at 12 pm.
Santa Marta: I liked it there. Good place to bring a girl. Spent 2 night with my seeking girl, 1 morning for 90 minutes or so with another seeking girl, had a great spa experience, ate good food, went to an aquarium (which was really for kids) and walked around in cricles a bunch. I would go back to visit tayrona and minca-but will either bring a girl or try and set up a multi day date with my tiny looks too young but is great at sexy time costena chica.
Grand marina suites: A++++.
[QUOTE=JustTK;2738726]I could have tied her tits together, they were so long and withered.[/QUOTE]How much money was it?
[QUOTE=NakedGunz;2738908]I had an internet date show up at a restaurant on my birthday once in the early 2000's when I was stuck in the USA a few years after my divorce. So I see this huge fucking woman kinda waddle inside the place, and I just know it's her.[/QUOTE]LOL. I do not mind fucking a big chick if she is pretty. Same time, early 2000's, I met a cute chick online that lived rather close to me. I went over to her house and she was rather large. Went down to her room and the broad had one of those small refrigerators next to the bed and some boxes of cereal on top. [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]. She had some good pussy, but I have morals.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2744546]How much money was it?[/QUOTE]70,000 in the club. I should have asked for more. hehe
This place rocks! I booked them using their own site, rather then using a big booking services. The price is quite lower. To have a better price, I chose the pre-pay fare. They sent me the confirmation but they didn't charge my card (their fault I guess), so I paid once I arrived there: 2. 4 m COP for 6 nights for their one bedroom apartment at the 18th floor. Clean, wide, two restroom, a lot of hot water in the shower, good king bed, 2 quiet air conditioning splits and 2 terraces, and chica friendly. Great value for money especially in comparison with Airbnb offers in the area. I feel that airbnb is getting less competitive year after year.
Now, talking about chicas, the place offers less opportunities in comparison with Bogota or Medellin, but that is known. The nice part is that the place looks very secure and mongering is easy and relaxing. I didn't see SWs in the calle 10 to 13 and carrera 1 to 4, but I went there only a couple of times. There are chicas in parque de LOS Novios, but most are there after 10 PM. I had a fantastic girl from Tinder for most of the week, so I had less interest in hunting. The place is so relaxing that I think it is better to have a temporary novia living with you, rather then hunting a couple of girls each day. I have seen that many Tinder girls have no problem to travel to stay with you in Santa Marta: they like the place and there is less risk for them to meet friends and relatives. The problem is that it is not easy to predict the chemistry before meeting the girl. It might be a good idea to call a girl you already know because you met in other places before. If you need a Testosterone shot, you can buy it in any drogueria or directly at the famacenter Capri where they can also pierce your ass for just 2 mil pesos. For cash, I used to go to the Davivienda ATM in CL 22 close to cr 1. Remember to refuse the proposed change rate, this way they will apply the official one, which is much better.
Will I return to Santa Marta? Yes! This year the temperature was much better than last year and I felt in comfort with the tropical heat. To appreciate the place you must have also other interests, such has diving (dive center: cr 2 with CL 18), exploring Minca (rent a motorcycle for that) and visiting Tyrona, and so forth.
[QUOTE=JustIncognito;2744474]
I also asked if this girl would take std tests before we met so we could skip the condoms. She agreed if I did the same. I told her I could also show her the vasectomy scar so she wouldn't stress about getting preggers: nobody wants that!
[/QUOTE]Vasectomy scar? Holy shit what kind of butcher did your vasectomy?
My first experience in santa marta.
We met 2 women on calle 10 c. They wanted 50 k + 10 k each for the room.
When we were in the room she suddenly wanted 60 k and my friend had to pay 25 k for the room.
Service was like fucking a mattress. 2 experience today via mileroticos.
I was in Carrera 1 c 24-99 very pretty girl 18 unfortunately it was her first day and she didn't really want to be touched.
But the ad said + anal + oral without a condom.
It was just bad, after I wrote them it was bad there was only a and.
Then I then said it's just not good if the service isn't good.
Then came another and then so this address can apparently be forgotten, girls come there who don't really want to.
Is this all what you get in Colombia With the prepagos? It is only cheap But not good.
Sorry for the Bad english, since I learn spanish. I not use it to often.
Regards.
Numbers oder the location.

I felt Santa Marta is more a tourist base for nearby attractions, and not much for chicas. Two best things about Santa Marta: They sell fresh coconut for 5 mil in Saint Francis Square (Cl14&Cr4), and in 'plazoleta de jugos santa marta' (on beach at Cl11) they sell fruit juices made from fresh fruit. In all other places in Colombia, for fruit juice, they still use real fruit, but cut & frozen, not fresh.
Calle 9 be #34 35: There is no Calle9 be near Cr34. Please remove from map.
Carrera 12 be # 3-40: No success (either it's a residential & not a chica place, or it was closed.).
SWs at Parque Bolivar: There were few, I didn't talk with any.
SWs at Cl10&Cr4: Didn't find any. Few people in Santa Marta told me that this area is not safe.
Parque de LOS Novios: The area around here felt safe, lots of restaurants and tourist people even late in the night. The parque is the best area to find street walkers. I walked around the night clubs / bars mentioned in the ISG World Traveller 69 map. Most places doesn't have girls available for sex. Later, I met the ISG user 'ElectricRay', and he told we can bring the SWs to Bananas Disco Show (Carrera 2 #19-49), and pay the hourly room rate. Added advantage being the security at the entrance won't allow bad girls inside the premises.
Tourist attractions near Santa Marta: Minca (water falls), Tayrona Park (Beaches: Bahia Concha, Playa Cristal), Playa Blanca beach, Palomino (tubing in river), Buritaca. Just added the places & it's main attraction. These are good keywords to Google for more info.
[QUOTE=Turgid;2744360]As we are on this topic I hope you guys don't mind me telling my story. The year was 1978, I was in my mid 20's. I went to this party and got pissed drunk.

I recalled the experience as if it were wet dreams. Dropped her home and never saw her again.[/QUOTE]LOL. I knew a girl at school who was always getting wasted and waking up in strange places with random guys.

And was so horrified that she was dressed and out of the room before he came back to bed.

So the studio is closed due to remodeling, but they were able to send somebody to my hotel room. According to WA the rate for 1 hour is 120 and nothing else was mention.
Quite on time a young, somewhat cute, but not beautiful girl arrived.
She didn't mind me being nakend and rubbed oil on me for 1 hour. She apparently does not no much about massages, but she tried to be consinstent.
The fun part was the erotic tension whether a handjob is inlcuded or she will offer it to me at the end.
Alas, neither materialized and so my tension turned into frustration. .
I didn't push anything as I thought, being naked is enough of a signal for somebody who is willing to earn a few extra bucks.
Headed back to Colombia, but this time I'm going to Barranquilla and Santa Marta. I am looking for a 4-5 star hotel that is chica friendly. So I will post this in each section, sorry for the redundancy.
In Santa Marta, I read about Grand Marina Suites and the poster said it was chica friendly. In case it is not available, are there other options? Thanks to all that are willing to chime in on this topic!
This section of this trip report covers basic information about Santa Marta and Barranquilla!
I have been to a few cities in Colombia, such as Cartagena, Medellin, and Cali, but I still wanted to visit a couple of other cities. This trip was split between Santa Marta and Barranquilla, three nights in each city.
Once again, I used World Travel 69's maps for both locations. I also consulted my travel friend, Mr. Enternational, and he filled in some missing gaps; always helpful.
Travel insurance:
I purchase travel insurance from Generali Global Assistance for around 160 bucks. Why? During these times, "Quien sabe?" I search for the policy that best fit my needs on Square Mouth.
Logistics:
Flight:
I flew on American Airlines, from San Diego to Miami, and then on to Barranquilla. The return flights were reversed.
Barranquilla was home base and I went on to Santa Marta from there for my first three nights.
Migration Form:
When I was checking in my bag with AA in San Diego, I was asked for my Migration Form to enter Colombia. I was not aware of this form and started searching for the website. This is the website: migracioncolombia. Gov. Co.
It is called CheckMig. There you need to fill out the immigration registration form 72 hours before your trip OR up to one hour before. It took me around 10 minutes to fill out the form and submit it. Once I did, within a few minutes, I received the document in my e-mail box. I showed the document to the AA agent and off I went to the security checkpoint. I did the same thing when I was leaving Colombia, but no one asked me for the document.
Immigration / Customs:
I blew through immigration and customs in Barranquilla around 1 pm. It took me less than 10 minutes to clear both.
Money:
On the Oanda exchange website, the exchange rate has been over 4000 to 1 for awhile. But, of course you will not get that rate at any exchange place within the country.
In the Barranquilla airport, there were two money exchange booths right next to each other. The exchange rates were not listed on neither one. Thus, I went to both of them and asked about their rates. One quoted me 1 US for 3600 COP and the other one quoted me 1 US for 3650 COP. It was an easy decision.
The next day in Santa Marta, I went to one of the exchange places in town and the rate was 1 US for 3800 COP. When I returned to Barranquilla, I just used ATMs.
To simplify things for me, I basically divided the prices in COP by four.
Weather:
It was hot and humid, but I knew that before I left. Every now and then, it rained like cats and putas.
Communication:
I now have the T-Mobile Go5 GPlus55 plan; no worries whatsoever.
Spanish:
I heard very little English spoken in Santa Marta and a little more in Barranquilla. If you go to those cities to conduct business, I'm sure more English is spoken. But if you are just a schmuck like me, chasing chicas and eating the local cuisine, there are very few English speakers; especially in strip clubs, casas, and all those other dirty places we visit.
Thus, if you plan to travel to Latin American countries, I highly recommend that you learn some Spanish. It is not that difficult and it opens up a whole new world!
The rest of this trip report is strictly about Santa Marta!
Transportation:
When I arrived in Barranquilla, I tried to use the inDrive app. I had no luck at the airport. Taxis were charging around 100 US to drive to Santa Marta. The cutie at the exchange booth helped me contact an inDrive driver. I was charge 60 US. The same driver picked me up in Santa Marta and brought me back to Barranquilla for the same price.
Uber did not exist in Santa Marta. There were hundreds of small yellow cabs with no meters all over the city. I used them and paid from 5000 to 10,000.
Logging:
I stayed at the Grand Marina Suites in one of their apartments. I had a great room on the 10th floor. It was pricy, but well worth the cost. Was it girl friendly? Absolutely, I brought in two escorts without any issues.
Restaurants:
I did a lot of research before I left and I was hoping to find local cuisine such as, ajlaco soup, chiguiro, and lechona. However some of those dishes are regional and I had trouble finding them. I did go out to some restaurants and here are my thoughts on the food scene:
Burkuka. Outstanding.
La Canoa Very good.
LamArt Very good.
La Muzzeria. Excellent.
To Go. Great hotdogs.
The street food venders were scattered throughout the city, especially around the parks.
Monger Venues:
Strip / table dance clubs:
In each club, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to chime in with the correct information. I wrote down the prices of the cheapest beer and ficha.
Club: Dubai.
Cover: None.
Beer: 10,000.
Ficha: Same.
Sex: 250,000 for 30 minutes, 400,000 for an hour. Take out was 800,000 for TLN.
On Site: Yes.
Number of Chicas: 30, but was told 50 on weekends.
Quality of Chicas: Good to very hot.
Night / Time: Monday /10.
Comments: This was a very nice large club with lots of chicas, which included many hotties. I would have liked to visit the club on the weekend, but I left Thursday morning to Barranquilla.
Club: Banana.
Cover: None.
Beer: 10,000.
Ficha: Same.
Sex: 200,000 for 30 minutes plus 20,000 for the room. However, there was no set time because the two chicas I pulled from the club both agreed on an hour.
On Site: Yes.
Number of Chicas: 30, but was told 50 on weekends.
Quality of Chicas: OK to hot. The club had something for everyone's taste. There were some chunky, not so chunky, and not chunky whatsoever in the mix.
Night / Time: Monday /11:30.
Comments: The club was down & sleazy; just my kind of place. I was there every night during my stay. The chicas seemed to change each night because I saw different girls each night, plus the ones that seemed to live in the club.
Club: Casa Loma (transversal 4 # 5-9, Rodadero).
Cover: None.
Beer: 10,000.
Ficha: I think the same, but I was losing brain cells at that point.
Sex: 180,000 for 30 minutes, 320,000 for an hour.
On Site: Yes.
Number of Chicas: 6.
Quality of Chicas: Very good to hot.
Night / Time: Tuesday /10:30.
Comments: One of the meseros in a restaurant told me about this place. It was a large house with a lot of empty space. I was approached by a hot blonde and the little sailor immediately fell in love. After a drink, we lived happily ever after, but it only seemed like an hour.
Club: Babiloria.
Cover: None.
Beer: 10,000.
Ficha: Same.
Sex: 10,000 for 30 minutes.
On Site: Yes.
Number of Chicas: 4.
Quality of Chicas: OK to damn cute.
Night / Time: Wednesday /10:30.
Comments: As soon as I entered, I went through a long hallway. Then I entered this large empty area. Finally, there was a small lounge area with the chicas. I quickly grabbed the damn cute chica and we chatted for a bit. I decided to take one for the team and it worked out well. Yet, another down & dirty place; I liked it!
Other bars / clubs:
Old's Bar: I was told it was a great morning / afternoon place. It turned out, it was the Banana Bar! Same fucking place, but a different name. I refused to ask the logic behind the concept because I do not need to get any more confused than I already am! Walked in the place around 2 pm; nobody!
Coco Bongo: Closed.
Renobar: I was warned by many it was a dangerous place, and I ran out of time to go there anyway.
Street Girls:
Parque de LOS Novios: I walked around this park for three nights. I had this half-toothless street girl harassing my dumb ass each night. Other than that beauty, there were other girls scattered here and there throughout the park. None of them were decent looking; hence, I did not feel the need to talk to them.
Parque Bolivar: I hung out in this park for around an hour late Wednesday afternoon. There were a few decrepit women sitting on the benches and said Hi while I was walking by. I was too scared to stop and chat, so I just smiled and kept walking.
My thought is maybe the weekend would produce better results in both of these parks?
Escorts:
I pulled in two escorts from Mileroticos. One asked for 120,000 and the other asked for 150,000. Neither one were clock watchers. Maybe that was because I had tasty adult beverages in the apartment. I was pleased with each escort.
Tinder / Glambu: I wasted too much time on both apps! There were many responses, but no one followed through. I am done with those apps!
Final thoughts on Santa Marta:
It was a seeking putas and eating great food trip. I thought the city was safe and I never felt threaten in any manner. Would I ever return to Santa Marta? Yes, the small city kept me occupied during my three nights and had a good amount of monger options as well. Overall, I had a great time! Would I recommend it to other mongers? Absolutely!
Como siempre, Solo mis dos pinche pesos, por supuesto!

Previous other reports suggested Santa Marta isn't a great mongering spot so surprise to hear about your positive experiences.
Heard local Colombians rather go to Santa Marta than Cartagena due to the cost so might have to check this place out.
[QUOTE=PussyRiot;2836698]Great report as usual.

You have to realize that Tomjackin knows how to make his own fun and will go to almost any length to do it and is able to work with what he is given. Someone sitting around waiting for fun to happen to them or expecting paradise will not have the same results.
I would like to rent a boat, without pilot if that's an option. Has anyone tried renting a dinghy or small motorboat or jet ski for about 4 hours?
Any reliable rental place to recommend?
Thanks.

And please post one of your non-biased and not exaggerated trip reports, if you even have one.

[/QUOTE]I really enjoy santa marta too although I have not spent much time there recently. There is plenty to do and quite a few chica options. Hope to be back there very soon. I can confirm all girls are rated 1-10 , assuming you use a 10 point rating scale.
This time I wanted to organize something different, so I spent a couple of weeks identifying a "supposedly" very low mileage young girl on Tinder. She is an 18-year-old, 47 kg, 160 cm light Morena with a sweet teenage body. Yes, this time it was exactly what I wanted. She lives in Pereira and her mother didn't want to let her travel before evaluating me. Ok, a day wasted for the Miami-Pereira flight on Saturday, then night meeting with the girl (no sex). Next day (Sunday) lunch with mama`and at 3 pm flight to Santa Marta. BTW, it was her first time in an aircraft. The girl was exactly how I wanted her in terms of body structure, but too shy. We went to the Grand Marina Suites, nice apartment with 2 restroom (Book it from their site because it is cheaper 350 mil night) After our shower and dinner, I wanted to test her. I put good music for relaxing, went to the bed. A bad sign is that she avoided kissing. Ok, lets try to break the ice, you cannot expect that a first timer behave like a porn expert. I massaged her slowly while she was on her back, but she kept her legs almost completely closed. Ok, I turned her on her belly, and surprise: she was so wet on her thigh with a large wet mark on the blanket. Baby, you like it, but you shy. I had with me a good vibrator I bought in Amazon exactly for this purpose. It is a device that looks small and quiet, but it has a vibration that no girl can resist. She was on her back again, and I started slowly moving around her clit. She had 40 minutes of orgasms, one after the other. I didn't remember what a 18 yo body is capable of. I was so horny that when I put my joystick inside her, I could resist only a little time before exploding. Next morning, second session. She was less shy, she opened her legs with no issue and let me play on the clit with the vibrator, and on the G spot with 2 fingers. Long story short, she had a first squirt that was amazing, leaving her in trance, shaking and vocal. I kept going with no rest and 10 minutes after a second squirt. She had no more energy, and I took her bare in four leg position. Later I asked, baby, are you on birth control right? Answer, no, I never took anything like that, who do you think I'm?
Well, you might think that after this beginning, the week was great, indeed it was a shit! That evening I had 39 see (102.2 F) and my covid test was clearly positive. Shit, 3 vaccines, one covid, and this is my second one, the god of mongers forgot my? Next day 39.5 see=103.2. But I took some pills to reduce it and to go eating something. In the pharmacy I bought a Post-day pill for my little princess, and a Paracodina bottle for my coughing. I want to make the story short the story short. On Friday I felt good enough to have sex, but she was in her period caused by the Post Day. I had to predict this side effect, but the temperature made my brain weak. I changed my return ticket (it was an open one with united points) got a ticket for and adios. She was a kind nurse, but I want a hot lover. I cannot blame her for that. Staying with a 61 yo sick with covid is not a great experience. Damage: 350 per day, excluding days on traveling, and something around 800 in presents. She was happy, I felt strange, so close to a great experience, but stopped by covid.
Sorry no pics from me, I want to protect her privacy, but you might find her in Tinder.
Question for the expert monger: what to do when, after a night of sex, she candidly tells you she is not on birth control?
I did like restaurant Lulo. Try the Ceviche de cammarones, it is wonderful.
For the morning breakfast, a cafe granizao along with a fruit salad at the hotel swimming pool is great. Another option is 5 minutes walking to Ikaro.
I could give hints about which pharmacy is better. But I'm sure you don't care this.
Bank and Cajero: Davivienda CL 22 close to cr 1 see. For traveling I always use my Charles Schwab debit, which covers for the additional costs and fee, but doesn't protect you if you accept the change rate proposed by Davivienda and other banks. As usual, the rule is to click on "refuse the proposed change rate" at this point the change rate is the one of the card, which was never worst that the one in Google.

To answer your question the best thing you can do is to have a vasectomy done beforehand, then it wouldn't matter if she's on birth control pills or not.
Sorry to hear about your covid.
I've been to Santa Marta twice and had a great time both trips.
I stayed at the Sol Inn hotel right by the malecón on cra 1 and calle 22 if I remember correctly.
Anyways thanks for the report.

Your description is of a girl who has limited or no sexual experience, in a predominantly Catholic country. Your basic assumption should always be that she is not going to be on birth control. Proceed accordingly.
Date: August 18-21.
Getting there: I drove, just over 14 hours to reach the airport area, where I stayed at an Ayenda hotel, opposite side of the traffic circle from the road to the airport. Just over 12 hours for the return trip.
Companions: My girlfriend and her sister had arrived Wednesday night and were staying at a hotel close to the Marina and Parque de LOS Novios area.
Accomodations: After girls finished their final certification dives in the morning we moved to an Airbnb on the hill above Taganga. 3 bed, 2. 5 bath, 2 level house with 2 huge balconies and outdoor hot tub, great view, little private beach. Total cost $364. Air conditioning in each bedroom and living room, well equipped kitchen, locked, gated parking and security system. Guest friendly.
Weather is hot and humid. Outside the tourist areas, most of Santa Marta and Taganga are pretty trashy. Piles of garbage are common and stray dogs, along with stray dog shit, can be seen everywhere. When it rains the streets flood. Flies and other insects are a problem.
Only took 2 taxis, to and from Taganga, from the house. The 1 to Taganga was fine. The 1 back to the house claimed he had no idea where we were talking about, or how to get there, even though there's only 1 road. I had to tell him about 10 times to take the road to Santa Marta. Driving in Santa Marta sucks. Lots of narrow, one way streets with insufficient parking.
The best feature of Santa Marta, IMO is the area around Parque de LOS Novios. Restaurants to satisfy almost any palate, and lots of people. At night the temperature is bearable. Definitely worth checking out. Sorry I can't give any info on the p4 p. Ate at El Mexican and Marrakech. I'd recommend them.
Diving in Santa Marta and Taganga is pretty good. Price for a 2 tank dive, with all rental equipment was 200 k. Other shops prices vary. There had been recent heavy rain so conditions weren't ideal. Took a night dive as well for $60 each.
Took a boat trip from Taganga to Parque Tayrona. Got charged 150 k per person, plus park entrance fee, 75 k for tourists, 35 k for residents. Pretty sure I paid a hefty gringo tax. Boat takes 1 hour 20 minutes each way, unless it runs out of gas. Add 40 minutes to the return trip. Bring a cushion. My ass is still sore. Also bring plenty of water.
Beaches of Parque Tayrona are nice. Walk west from the drop off point at Cabo San Juan, take the little trail and you get to a less traveled beach. At the west end, take another little trail to get to a more secluded and nicer beach. Each trail is an easy 10 minute walk. Both of these beaches are nude beaches. There are no vendors, no touts, nothing other than surf and sand and the trees that line the beach. Where the boats drop off there's a restaurant and place that serves drinks. Food is, as expected, expensive, but decent.
Most of the drive to and from Santa Marta is the best you'll find in Colombia. From the area around Barrancabermeja to the coast on highway 45 is mostly straight and flat, with many sections of 4 lane with 100 kmh speed limits. Even before that section, there are several areas with passing lanes in the mountains. There's 1 long, 4. 2 km tunnel. There are 10 tolls to pay average around 12 k each. Beware of speed traps. I got caught by 1 and the clearly stated bribe was 500 k. Gas stations and restaurants are plentiful. Gas was cheaper in the more remote gas stations. Prices ran from 11.7 k to 14.8 k per gallon.
Cheaper and better to fly there, although having a car added some convenience. Lots of lodging and food options. I think it's worth a visit.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]What's difficult to understand? If you are unable to understand something that is clearly stated, there's nothing I can do to help you.
However, I'll explain it again, in the hope that whatever is restricting blood flow to your brain, clears up.
A 3 bedroom, 2. 5 bath, gated, air conditioned house, with a private beach, 2 full balconies, hot tub and all the stuff needed in a house for a 3 day rental, with cleaning fee included, cost $364.
I could have rented a dinky shack without air conditioning, or a cramped hotel room for much less. However, two things come to mind:
1. I wanted a nice, private house, with a balcony, a hot tub, a view, secure parking and plenty of space.
2. I'm not on a desperately tight budget where I have to constantly consider every peso spent. Even with such unthinkable extravagance my trio came in $750 under budget.
Still confused?

I have been in SM for a week and been struggling mongering wise. I have very basic Spanish. This is my first time in Colombia. I found some good casas in Medellin. Good quality girls and they didn't mind my lack of language! I went to Ellas Erotic 4 times in one week and had a great catch 3 out of 4 times!
Are there any good casas in SM? I have walked around Centro a fair bit and there seem to be barely any decent girls. Plus I am not sure how safe it is? Around Parque Novios, its hard to find any decent looking girls! I like my airbnb but it has a strict no guest policy. So for the street ones (even if I find a decent one), are there any good clean love hotels I could use?
Is it just me or SM a bit of a challenge from a mongering perspective?
Thanks!

But prices are higher than in Medellin. I was there 2 years ago and they were all starting out at 80 k cop some even said 100 k cop.

Hello everyone,
I am planning to go to Santa Marta soon for the first time. I have read a few pages here but I am none the wiser.
I was wondering if there are clubs or bars where you can have a drink and pick up girls like you have in other cities, I heard there is such a bar in Santa Marta called Banana.
Are there any more bars or how are things going there?
Thanks in advance!!
I have been to Bananas several times in the past. YMWV for sure. The last few times the talent was quite dismal but did take a stunner out of there about 12 yrs ago. Other bars are regular bars up the street from Parque Novia, which is more or less behind Bananas. There are several bars but no P4P as far as I could tell.

The last time I was there was in October 2021. I brought my own Chica with me from Medellin and stayed at the solo inn and mainly went to the various different beaches and restaurants and to playa grande in taganga. I did see quite a few good looking SGs around the parque de novios área in the evenings but I didn't partake since I had a Chica with me that was pretty much like a novia.
Anyways on this upcoming trip I'll be there solo and plan on checking out the street action around parque del LOS novios and parque bolivar in the evenings and spending my days at the beach drinking beers and soaking up sunlight with intermediate dips in the cool (but not cold) ocean waters. I also want to try to fuxk some of those black costeña women that offer massages at the beaches. I saw a very doable one at playa rodadero or playa blanca or whatever (the two beaches in rodadero that are connected by a flimsy bridge) during my very first visit there.
Also I wouldn't say Santa Marta is the poorest feeling city in all of Colombia. The Venezuelan border towns feel much poorer especially Cucuta and la parada, and although I've never been I've heard and seen videos of Maicao which looks like it is probably the poorest city in all of Colombia.
Santa Marta on the other hand is a nice beach resort city that is more popular among Colombian vacationers and foreign backpackers than it is being overrun with passport bros and rich foreign tourists such as Cartagena. It's like a more laid back, less expensive, less touts bothering you (with the exception of the rodadero area) version of Cartagena.
I have fond memories of Santa Marta from my two previous visits. Great beaches, great restaurants, nice hotels, nice people, and lots of warm sunshine. Not to mention the shrimp ceviche.
