"There as a couple of ok apartments in the building." That is quite true. However, as of about 2 months ago the guest policy changed. You can still rent a nicer apt. in el Conquistador, but you cannot have any female company in that nicer apt.

There is a casa by that name in BAQ, and I have never heard of one with that name in CTG. However, casas open and close. If you must do the casa crawl, it's probably best to ask a taxista. Realize, however, that the taxistas are paid commissions by the casas.
I heard that the Pleyboy Club has changed names.
That's the one. It has gone downhill.
Some apartments are still nice. A friend of mine owns one. They just changed management companies and hope to turn things around.
Frankly there has been a problem with many buildings in Laguito and probably all of the Bocagrande Penninsula(except Castillo Grande). A good number of absentee owners were not paying their monthly association dues. Colombian law does not make it easy to collect. Gradually the deadbeats are selling their apartments. Upon sale all arrears must be paid. And the new owners generally are going to pay their monthly fees.

I heard that the Pleyboy Cub has changed names.[/QUOTE]A taxista took me off to Lusitania yesterday. We arrived at a residencial street and the taxista asked a local about the place. Turns out it´s gone. He took me to Rocio´s, which he had kept trying to talk me into in the first place.
I went to Pleyboy Club a few nights ago. AFAIK there´s no name change. At least all the taxistas call it by that name.
It will probably be known as Pleyboy for quite awhile yet. And I do not have any first-hand knowledge. I had just heard that the name had to change courtesy of Hefner's lawyers.
Lots of LDV girls live there in groups of 4 to a room.
Does anyone know if United Airlines or any of its partners flies into Colombia?
I have a bunch of miles I can use for 'health' reasons!
Gracias

Don't think so, Continential ( copa), and delta ( avaianca) do.
Star Alliance is HORRIBLY weak in South America. Air Canada from Toronto or Vaqrig from Sao Paolo, and BOTH those ONLY get you to Bogota. MUCH better to have American, Continental or Delta miles for Colombia. If you want to consider a trade (I give you an AA award to Colombia anbd you give me a UA award), please PM me. United is BEST for Asia, and American's program SUCKS BIG TIME for Asia.
I can conquer about lots of LDV and other working girls that rent three or four to a room. Some even live with their kids. It’s a gold mine of working girls, especially during the day when options are limited, but I would never stay there. Out of the several rooms that I got to see not one had AC (I was sweating like an animal).
I strongly recommend getting in good with a working girl that stays at the Conquistador, especially if you are staying close by (I was staying across the street at the Playa Mar). I picked up a cutie at the LDV my first night in CTG and like a gentleman walked her across the street the next day to the Conquistador. She introduced me to her roommates and other friends and got to observe the chicas in their natural habitat. Then I got to bang the ones I liked (which ended up being mostly all of them during my 10 day stay, yes I know I am pig). Of course all her roommates had friends that lived in the building and got to play with some of them as well (I was always up front with my good intentions).
It was so bad that this one elevator operator gave me the evil grin every time I was in the elevator with a different chica. I felt like a real sk@nk.
Now that my favorite Julia's is no longer there, does anyone know of any other restruants that have both Colombian ( I love Arepa and Tamals for breakfast, plus have american style breakfast?
Risquismo- not my favorite for breakfast
Crepes and waffles- once in while
there was another place down from julia's towards the hilton that was not bad.
anyone know any others ?
You are in luck. Julia's is re-opening on the beach about 100 yards to the west of the old location. Claudia, the owner, told me that they should be open within a few days.
I breakfast at Loco Gringo. They have great pancakes with maple syrup. Eggs are also available. The jugos and coffee are wonderful.
I have not tried it, but I heard that the Hilton has a breakfast buffet that is pretty good.
The Israeli Restaurant also serves breakfast. Noam, the owner, has sold half of his business to Schlomy. They are both great guys who speak English and plan to upgrade the restaurant.
There is another place toward Bocagrande from Loco Gringo. I think it's called the Tropical. It's on the same side of the street as Loco Gringo about 50 yards past it.
If you want cheap, try the place on the corner of San Martin and the street to Olimpica nearest Olimpica. For 3300 pesos you get eggs, toast, and coffee or chocolate. It's a great place to watch the chicas going to work.
Tom
Great information thanks a lot...
And the girls working at Loco Gringo are sweethearts. Plus you get free internet.
Well my opinion of Crepes and Waffles is that the place sucks. They don't open until 11:00 a.m. Isn't Crepes and Waffles fucking breakfast food? I finally went back to check it out and I can make a meal that would blow that place away. Tried the one in Bogota also and a Waffle House could put it to shame. Overpriced, bad mediocre food at best and shitty service.
