Tropico,
Amigo, I'm not trying to flame anyone. I appreciate any and all info and I was actually refering to the post by Rooste, which is very detailed except for pricing. However, I HAVE read many of the other posts and I'm confused. One guy says the dollar goes a long way. Others say it is so expensive. Some guy gets laid 10 times for less than $150 and others pay $100 to $200 a pop. You quote 600Q an hour, someone else 300Q at the same place, Caprichos.
That's why prices are so important. Info is power. Once you know that a particular woman went out for $50, you will never pay $150 again. I can't believe any locals are paying $90-$200 a night. Those are US prices. A $60 salida in Central America? Hard to believe. The MP prices sound very good but does that include FS? HJ? Anything?
We all know there are high-end clubs and low-end clubs. Expensive girls and cheapies. And that everything is negociable. But also there is Gringo pricing and regular pricing. The girls will ask for the moon. And if you are a US businessman and can't speak Spanish you may end up paying whatever she asks. Some guys just don't care or are afraid to negociate. But if you give a report, please tell how much you paid and what you received. Knowing if a poster is fluent in Spanish or a provider speaks English is very useful info. And try to remember names and prices. After a while, a clear pattern emerges and it helps everyone out. That is the real power of the Forum. Knowing who to look for, who to avoid and what the going rate is . . .
Peace, -P

Prokofiev,
I came across to your message by accident, since I am in El Salvador, and
could not believe what I have red. In essence, they are trying
to take your $$$ and run, in no way in our countries a "puta"
can charged that much, unless we are "suckers" and we let
them. If you have the time, you can spend a week-end here
in El Salvador and the time of your life for less $, also if
you private me at LAU5741@YAHOO.COM can give you a
lead in Guatemala and couple of my friends can give you
safe places where you can go and have a great time and
do not have to spend a fortune. Its hard to understand
why the want to take the "gringos" money. I tell you an
experience that I red on San Salvador's report, there is
this place in San Salvador in which the rates for a "gringo"
are much, repeat much higher than a salvadorean: Can
you believe that crop? Well, let me tell you, this place is
going nowhere, because, we all know and will not
patronized.
Let me know ...

Hi,
I arrive in Guatemala City this weekend. I'm wondering about how safe it is to walk around zona 1. Are there many good SW's in the zona 1? I was also wondering about escorts(where to find them and how much to pay). I am starting a six month trip through central america so I look forward to posting my exploits as I go. I've been to Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia. I know it will be harder to find cheap sex in central america but I have heard the pie is better there so I think it is worth the effort.

studplayer and stallion03:
I'm sorry I didn't come across your posts until after you already left.
My posts on my adventures in Zona Uno are listed on this board (7/01/02 9/21/02 12/06/02 1/16/03 and 1/17/03).
As I mentioned, Concordia Park was closed for renovation while I was there, which the "Rough Guide" stated was a good location for an inexpensive pickup point (if you can screen out the TVs).
I'd enjoy hearing about your experiences. I'm hoping to go back.

To This1GreatMan,
I will be returning to Guatemala City in the next week or so. Email me if you like at studplayer1@hotmail.com.

Have ticket flexible for travel to Guatemala City and I can go there anytime until March. I am planning mid January, tentatively Jan 15-26, just waiting to see if anyone is going to be there between mid December-end of January and maybe I will be able to plan accordingly if someone wants to hook up. I speak above elementary spanish.
My main questions are on cheap budget hotels. Can anyone give me an opinion on Fortuna Royal, Hotel Ajau, Hotel Colonial, Chalet Suizo(mentioned numerous times), Spring hotel, and Concordia hotel. I would like to spend less than 30US a night and some of these hotels are real low budget and are in undesirable areas and are less than 20US a night. Prefer safe box, very girl friendly(even accepting sw's as guests), and halfway clean. I am not too concerned about safety though I hear zona 1 is dangerous but have been to Mexico City and can't imagine many places more dangerous than there walking at night and I practice the usual caution. I will appreciate any help and if good info, will share photos/info from some of my trips to other countries, DR, etc.
Is it reasonable to go to brothel(similar establishment) during day for quickie, and have an overnight/couple hours at night/ from someone, sw/pro/semi-pro for around 50US a day? Will try for amateurs as well and will visit normal bars/discos in better areas and flirt during day with whoever I can. Can I eat and drink for around 35US a day, only eat two modest meals and probably about 12 drinks daily? Please some help and can check out my postings in the Dom Rep(mainly under Boca Chica and see some of my photos as well under general info). Or can email me, just add hotmail to my user name. If you live there, are traveling there in a few months, or have some info I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Gentlemen,
I have spent my first full day in Guatemala City. First of all Iīd like to sincerely thank all the posters for their useful information, making my short visit as productive as possible.
Here's my report:
The airport is nice and modern, the customs agents very friendly, banks available for changing money and the taxi to zona 1, hotel Chalet Suizo is 60 quetzales as previously mentioned.
The hotel is exactly as previously mentioned. The cost now is about 160 Q. which is just over 20 dollars. Very basic hotel, no TV, friendly day and night staff, "guest friendly". In my opinion it is kind of far from the action, at least the places that I have been going to. However, since I am only going to be here a short time, I didn't bother looking for another hotel.
I feel safe here, but EVERYBODY warns you about safety, so there must be some safety/security issues going on here. Different people warned me about not taking a cab off the street, they said most of the time everything will be okay, but once in a while the cab drivers will trick you and meet up with their "associates"and rob you of everything you got. So I am using the same cab driver here, his name is Leonel, charges 50 Q per hour, knows all the spots. The hotel called him for me. If I donīt lose his card, I will post his cell phone number in a future post.
I did not go to any of the touristy expensive places. Went to the two El Paso bars, Paisano bar, Twist bar and Country. They were all as mentioned in previous posts.
Here is how it works in the bars here. You go in, sit down, there are usually about 8 to 10 girls in these places. You order something to drink which will cost you around 20 to 25 Q.
Nobody will bother you, in fact the girls will all ignore you until you motion to one to come over. Their drinks will cost about the same or sometimes up to 40 Q. per drink. I always had only one drink, enough for introductions, but I wasnīt there to drink! All the girls live on the premise, theyīll take you to their room, the full service will cost anywhere between 50 Q per 30 minutes to 120 Q. per 30 minutes. 15 minute sessions are also available. I didn't bargain, I just paid what they asked for, it seemed reasonable. For those of you who stay here a while and get to know the system better, you may be able to go even lower.
ALL the girls that I met were from El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. I banged four girls and none is a local girl so far! They were all without exception courteous and gave good service. I do not have any complaints. The bar Twist has extremely loud music, wear ear plugs before going in. PAISANO bar was my favorite, I would recommend it as a starting point. I think I went to the one on zona 11, but there are two more Paisanos in zona 12 (I may have the "zonas"confused, but your taxi driver should know, if he doesnīt, get rid of him).
At night, I went to zona 9 and picked up a Honduran girl SW, 23, about a 5, very polite, good service. 150 Q and I could have bargained down but didn't. The prices in the bars are so cheap and the quality is good, so I am not sure if there is any need to pick up SW's. I also went to my own neighborhood, zona 1, but we only saw a couple of transvestites so I canīt tell you too much about the street action in zone 1.
Unfortunately as my bad luck would have it, this weekend there are elections in Guatemala, my understanding is that the bars are closed since no drinking will be allowed. Anyways, Iīll try to find something to do and post later.
My overall impressions:
The city is very big, don't come here if you don't like big cities. The people are very friendly. The prices are very cheap, in fact possibly even cheaper than Honduras. Security is a concern, but if you have a trusted cabbie, you should be okay. There are many many sex workers in this city, most of whom are from other countries. They will give you good friendly service. Consider finding a hotel which is closer to the bars than Chalet Suizo. The exchange rate right now is about one dollar to 8 Quetzales.
I agree with the poster "Pacifico" that you don't need to go to all the gringo/touristy clubs to get good sex, but to each his own.
As "Chango" says, "tear it up".

Today Saturday not much going on in terms of bars since tomorrow is general elections and no liqour consumption allowed tonight.
I went to a massage/sauna place called Ļtres monos sabiosĻor something very similar to that. It is on the way to Antigua city, right on the interamerica highway going from Guatemala city to Antigua city. It is just past the town Mixco. 250 Q. will get you one hour of massage, BJ and FULL SERVICE. I tried them once on my way to Antigua and then again on the return. Itīs an auto motel, you go in, pick the girl, then they take you to a nice room which has behind it a bathroom and a small sauna. The girls are about 5 to 6 mostly, they give very complete and friendly service. The sauna and bath however is behind the room, if you decide to use them, keep your pants/money in the line of sight which will be difficult to do. Hours are from 9 to 9. I had a Guatemalan girl on my way in and a Honduran on my way back.
On the exact same road, a couple of miles more towards Antigua is another place called Sirenas. It was closed today. My taxi driver said itīs more expensive than the one I mentioned above.
My taxi driverīs cell phone number is 4014775, his name is Leonel. He doesnīt speak much English, but he has been a taxi driver here for 26 years, so he knows a lot of places. I believe he also works outside Marriott hotel.
Twist bar is on 32 Calle, zona 3. Wear your ear plugs if you decide to check it out.
Antigua itself was nothing exciting for me, there are a lot of shops, etc if you want to go souvenir hunting but I wasnīt interested.
This is a huge city with all the traffic and pollution that come with a big city. It has a very well established sex trade which will take me a full two weeks stay just to be able to scratch the surface.
I will again say that in my opinion, hotel chalet suizo is kind of far from action. I hope one of the Guatemala experts here can suggest a nice hotel closer to bars Paisano, Country, etc.
Good luck and thanks again to all the previous posters. J.G.

You did the right thing by getting a taxi reference from the desk clerk at Chalet Suizo, and sticking with him for the trip.
I agree that Zona Uno is deserted and dead after dark. The only street action seems to be the TVs on Avenida Cinco.
Did you check out Concordia Park? It's only two blocks from Chalet Suizo, but it was boarded off and "under reconstruction" while I was there. I had been told it was a good pickup place in the early evening. It's a safe area (as police headquarters are on the northeast corner), and they don't give a shit about chasing SWs. I admit that seeing teenage cops with automatic weapons is a little disconcerting, but I felt totally safe at all times.

Hotel Los Torres is in Zona 10 AT the intersection of La reforma and 13 Calle one half block in across from the Holiday Inn on 13th Calle best deal for the money in Guatemala City. Its near all the action of zone 9 and 10 and close to zone 12and 11 (near the airport)where those short time bars are off Roosevert or CA1.

I will be going to Guatemala City the first week of December, Should I stay in Zona 1 or Zona 10 as long as where the action is. Please advise the difference of the two Zonas, how far is one zona from the other. Also, most important, can someone please advise any local spots as I am sure price will be lower, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
First of all, I would like to say thanks for all the great info here from all of you.
I will be going to Guatemala in December for thr first time. I have read many action spots mentioned but got a bit confused. Can somone please clarify the below :
Pick up bars - Perehes ( Zone 9 ) and Milleniums ( Zone 7 ), what are the addresses for both bars, are they regular girls or working girls, what's the cost. Any other pick up bars can be recommended.
Local joints - El Paso & Paisano, are they the type of bars or the exact name of the bars and what's the address of both places.
Any massage places you can recommend, what's the quality, price and address. Should I go to visit during the day or night.
Which Zone should I stay as I like to go to disco and pick up some local girls if that is available.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi This1greatman
I didn't check out the park that you mentioned. The only thing that caught my attention at walking distance from chalet suizo were the street venders and the shops where I had some tasty Choripan and Gauchitos(spelling may be off) for about 12 Q.
I agree with you in that during all my stay there I felt completely safe. I continue to highly recommend my cab driver. My last night, he came and picked my up at 4 AM sharp from the hotel to take to airport. Very good and reliable guy.
Ticaman
Paisano and El Paso are the names of the bars. If you get a chance to read the previous posts, you'll see that there is for instance a post with very detailed directions on how to get to El Paso. By the way, there are at least 3 Paisanos and at least 2 El Paso bars.
Have fun and stay safe. J.G.
