Your taxi cab rates are about normal, especially from Pley club to el laguito. Isis is crap, I'd recommend staying away from that place. At LDV, you should never agree to such high rates. There's an...

Thanks for the reporting on Elektra, I can stop feeling as though I was misled that it was not closed. Also, thanks for reading through my report. I'm from a culture where bargaining is a way of...

I did get a club / bar card from some fly looking chica when I was hanging around the clock tower area with Joe. The place is called El Paraiso del Marino club, supposedly a new place according to...

They do that because LDV is in El Laguito and is the only place such as that in el lagutio. It's tourist central and form my understanding el lagutio has the highest property value per sq meter in...

Thanks for the reply and reading through my experience. My main issue with the police is not that they asked me for money, but rather that they stopped the taxi and had me alone get out. My...

Ya, I'm sure "Joe" is likely known by many foreigners who visit Isis or TC / clock tower area, as he is likely the only one around to assist with translations. Was a very good guy (straight shooter)...

While what you say is likely true, in my scenario I was long gone from the casino before the shakedown occurred. I was playing at Rio Casino around 5-30-630 ish. Left and went home with family...

I suppose I learned of the cops searching gringo's without reasonable cause the hard way. Nothing was suspicious (I procured the night before) and they had the road blocked stopping each car that...

4th night. this night i wanted to try something different and knew of the club in el laguito, which i actually walked into not knowing what it was called while coming home the first night attempting...

Update, I just spoke with the English speaking local who helped me out my first few nights in town. I never asked him specifically about Elektra while in CTG. I just spoke with him briefly over the...

Stayed at playa mar 801 overlooking the ocean. Two bedrooms for around $66 a night. Juan will quote 75. Try to negotiate with him a little. He wanted $225 for 3 nights, but I talked him into $200 for...

I didn't even try Santa Marta while there. Hearing about your stories, I'm glad I didn't. Was only in CTG for 5 days regardless. Even with the hassles, I still think I may end back there one day.

That was probably the case. I didn't realize how close Elektra was from the clock tower, until after returning home and looking at hillbilly's map. I suppose I should have just walked there myself to...

Hi,

I just returned from Cartagena and had a good time there. My lack of spanish speaking skills and everyone trying to take my money eventually was frustrating. Cab drivers to beer salesman...
