Santiago

Be happy that you at least got good service and had fun at a high price. I paid US prices and got lousy service in Santiago from an agency and one independent (who is no longer active), and all subsequent reviews on the big American review board for Santiago have been terrible. This is a lousy market for non-Spanish speakers regardless of a budget. I have since gone to several other countries and all of them make Chile look even weaker. It is not helped by the fact that Club Amsterdam comes and goes, and by the time the other reviewed massage parlors replied to my emails, I was out of the country. In other South America markets, a lack of Spanish is not a barrier. Buenos Aires has two well known contacts that will translate and help English speakers with bookings with only a small fee to the translators. Medellin has a well known hotel with English-speaking owners and providers on site, and Rio has the termas that anyone can go to with published prices for all customers. Chile should be at the bottom of the list for English-only mongers, in my opinion. But thanks for the report, and realize it could have been worse.

[QUOTE=DocInHeat;1795964]Ok, I am stupid and have too much money. It was Sunday and a holiday, so it was hard to find any action anywhere, so I went to Platinum Club. It was even more expensive than Palomino and also quite dead. There was one other guy there and afterwards a few more showed up. Pickings were slim, there was a very pretty Russian girl, but her Russian-Spanish and my bad Spanish didn't allow for any communication. I did end up spending time and a lot fo money with the main dancer for the night, Wendy, a Venezualen girl, who was similar to Rihanna, but even prettier. Yes, it was very, very expensive, but it was one of my last nights free. If someone insists, I will say the prices, but really, I am too embarrassed! So I vow I will pay no more ripoff prices in Chile.[/QUOTE]

I am still a little embarrassed for spending US prices, but yes, I decided I didn't have much time and went for the relatively sure thing. I am now more glad I did after your comments, because they were definitely fun times!

Also, to clarify, both women I spent time with, were the only dancers for each club (one for Palomino and one for Platinum). They both said that they were the only dancers for the night and they were both the prettiest girls in the club, so I went for it and both times were very good. However, the Palomino night I brought the girl back to my hotel and the Platinum night I used their room and I would not use the room again. I'm just too old to do it on couches anymore!

I should also mention, I did not really meet any beautiful Chilean women. I did some touring throughout the city and I have to say that I did not even see very many-very occasionally in the nicest parts of town and in the nicest restaurants. But the girls I was with were all from outside Chile and they also said Chileans were not attractive and I have to agree. I did see many groups of high school students (as seen from their uniforms) on the streets, in the subway, and in the museums and shopping malls and I have to say almost all the girls were chunky and made no efforts at their appearance.

DocInHeat,

Agreed with Mongerer88. You spent a good money for a good service. From my experience here in Santiago so far, you must spend US prices to have a really enjoyable night. The cheaper I've tried, the lower quality I've got of course. Because only rich expats and foreigners can afford it, those clubs stay pretty high quality. So you spent the money worth your great experience.

Salud!

Napoleone,

Suggestions from DocInHeat are definitely the best places in town, and usually some of the ladies speak English there.

1. Platinum: pretty big and upscale venue, almost like a movie theatre. They have shows almost every 30 mins or so. Many girls speak English. They wear dress. Most expensive out of these options.

2. Palomino: relatively new place in town, much smaller than Platinum or Lucas Bar. Still pricy. Supposedly Palomino is the upscale version of Lucas Bar (as I heard these are managed by the same owner). They wear dress.

3. Lucas Bar (in Vitacura): also good. Less girls speak English, but probably least expensive (still not cheap) out of these. Large venue with some shows. They wear lingerie or very short / tight dress.

These clubs are all located in Vitacura area, where rich people live. So price range is quite high, but quality of girls are guaranteed. As long as you can afford these clubs, I don't recommend other cheaper options in other areas as the quality usually drops and you will probably end up regretting it.

If you just want to go straight to the end without drinking and chatting with girls, you can go to Club Amsterdam. Around 80 K / hour. This is not really a club, but just a house with ladies. They have about 4 5 girls you can choose from, and rent one of their rooms. Ladies are good looking, but not all of them. You probably need advanced booking to get in, I suppose. I usually ask the taxi driver to contact them first.

I recommend to visit these places after midnight (12) as 10 or 11 pm are still a bit too early, and not all of their girls are showing up yet. Also try asking taxi driver. Some of them often receive commission from clubs, so they may have a ticket for one free drink or etc.

Thanks for the vote of support. Two last things:

1) both times I took taxis to the clubs, neither driver knew where the clubs were by their names. Good thing I had the map function on my phone. Also, I used Uber a number of times in Santiago with good success.

2) I really liked one of the girls and set up dates for pay twice more. She said she only gets paid by the club once a week. The other days, she gets what she brings in from drinks and other activities.

Does anyone know if there's any motel in Vitacura or Las Condes areas?

If anyone knows, I appreciate your help.

What I realized is that there's no motels listed in these areas.

Even though the clubs are usually in those neighborhood.

Probably the closest one I know is this one;.

Arrendamientos las Perdices - 2344 LOS Maitenes.

*Very close to current Club Amsterdam location.

If you know any motel that's even much closer to Vitacura or Las Condes.

Would you please share your knowledge?

Also for those who visit Santiago.

Most of the hotels in town seem not very chica-friendly. They will ask your girl to show her ID and sign a form, etc.

W Hotel seems quite loose about it. But most of the other major hotels are not.

If you don't want to get bothered by that, using motel or private rooms in the club are good options.

Private rooms tend to be more expensive though.

(*around 80 K / hour at Lucas Bar as I recall, while motel is around 60 K for at least a few hours.).

I asked the locals about Lucas and the other ones you recommended here but they say they are overprized and recommended either Lido or Passapoga. Do any of you have anything to say about these?

I've never been to Passapoga or Lido. Both actually seem pretty upscale from the pics at least (very similar to those in Vitacura), so I'm afraid we will end up spending almost the same as being a foreigner. I'm willing to try though. If I ever visit, I'll definitely drop a review for us.

You had what sounds like a great time with the hottest girl there and you probably over paid, oh well. It's a good memory.

Approximately what was the damage at a club like this in Santiago?

Sorry, it's now several countries ago and can't remember exact amount. I think it was something like $350 with drink and bar fines. The good thing is with one of the girls I saw her again and avoided all the fees and she went out to dinner with me first for the same price as I paid for her from the bar.

Anybody been to Platinum club recently? Been there about five years ago and honestly competed with the best strip clubs in Vegas and Miami.

Going back in a month and wanted to see if there's any new info.

If someone wants to tag along let me know.

Can anyone PM me a whatsapp for a hot independent chica in Santiago? I'm only here a couple days. The clubs on MacIver have ugly girls and the other clubs have crazy prices. I'll be happy to trade similar chica info for Medellin in return.

I arrived early and only 4 or 5 other guys there and about 12 or 14 chicas. They ranged from 7 to 9. Only two were nines and I talked with both but didn't close a deal. The first left with another guy very soon after I talked with her and the second wouldn't leave with me unless I bought her a drink first. The chica drinks cost 40 mil pesos or $56. If a deal had been closed it's 100 mil bar fine and 150 mil for the chica. For that price I wasn't leaving with less than a nine. The one who wouldn't leave without a drink is a tall Russian with long blond hair and is 28 years old. My guess is she is just selling drinks and not leaving with anyone. I stayed until 12:30 a.m. expecting more hot chicas to show up but it never happened. Spent a little cash and beers but saved the bigger bucks tonight.
