Wow, Elusive. Seems like PDC is not what it seems, or at least what it seamed to be.
As I recall, Cancun and PDC are more like "springbreak" places. Too bad that you did not have such a great time.

I just finished a trip to PDC. It is one of the most miserable mongering destinations I have ever been to. Of course I live in Costa Rica, but I travel extensively and while it might be better than Utah, actually it might not be. The girls range from linbacker types to a few solid 8's, all with full New York city prices.

Nightclubs (strip clubs) are comically overpriced. Usually you can live with this as many latin cities have hyper expensive strip clubs, but great SW's or MP's. Even lower priced spots like Popa Cubanas will try to scam you. A few Yucatan nightclub tips.

1. Always shoo off the first girl who approaches you, (actually, that goes worldwide).

2. Never ever run a tab, pay every round when it comes.

3. If possible get a menu with prices, the waiters will often quote you as much as they can get away with in regards to private dances, exit fees, room charges, etc. If not get the prices from the waiter and later confirm with the girl. A sure sign you are getting scammed is when you ask a simple question like how much is the fee to use the in-house room for the girl and he has to go ask. Of course it helps if you speak spanish.

I tried 3 of the local MP's from the tabloid paper they sell on the street. All hard sell, more sizzle than steak. All advertise low prices, but those are not really possible, it will cost you $100, period. If you get a BBBJ at any price, congratulations, you hit the lottery.

Thanks for the nice report, Prokofiev, and sorry for the delay in posting.

I was the member that PMed Prokofiev about 2 of the strip clubs in the city. I went to CARTIER, as you did, where a privado is 150 Pesos and a cubeta of beers is 100. I went back with two different girls and had no luck, but during one of those privados, I heard some guy banging away on this chica in the next cubicle. In short, sex is to be had there, and probabaly not for much money, but you just have to find the right girl and, of course, you need to proposition her.

I also went to the SC IMPERIO'S, where I chose the hottest, skinniest thing in the house and ended up with a delicious BBBJ for maybe 400 Pesos after negotiating with her. Privados cost 120.

Club EXTASIS sounds way too expensive for Villahermosa.

In short, like Oaxaca, if you have only a few days in town, better to go to a brothel. But if you have time and want to hang out and chat with chicas over a few beers, only to go back to privados for a BBBJ or BBHJ or whatever, both sites offer very decently-priced stripclubs for that.

One other note: bars and stripclubs close EARLY in Villahermosa, like at 1:30 or 2:00. So late-night hobbiests take note.

I can heartily recommend the two strip clubs just a few kilometers east of Merida along the Cancun highway. I forget their names, but these are large buildings and they advertise in the local papers. They are on the north side of the highway, the first one at a major circle has a large billboard and is open in the evenings. The second one, a little farther east (maybe a couple kilometers more, requiring that you turn around) is open during the day. They are under the same management. There is another one on the south side that is crap (very local, girls range from threes to sixes).

The clubs are attractive. 3 drink minimum, which is about 75 pesos. Lap dances range from 50 - 150 pesos ($5-15), depending on how much privacy you want. You can get a blowjob for 500 pesos ($50) in the 150 peso room (negotiate with the girl; you'll end up having to buy a couple songs for the house as well). The thing about Mexico is you definitely don't have to sit on your hands. The girls range from fives to eights, all local, and definitely more attractive than the girls you normally find in the Yucatan.

Geez, I wish I could remember the names of the places. Anyway, just drive east from Merida towards Cancun on the highway and you'll see them just outside the city - look north. They advertise in the local papers.

I stayed one night in Playa Del Carmen and made my way to Merlin Safari. Cover is $25 US. Water is only $2 US, ladies drinks are $20 US. It is located on the South side of Juarze on the West side of 307. The doorman didn't have change for a 500 peaso bill and wanted to run off with it to get change. I don't like to see my money run off so I had him go get the change first and waited outside for a short period before I went in. Once inside there are two styles of chairs, taller metal chairs that are not comfortable and shorter fake black leather chairs that aren't to bad to sit in. I recommend the black shorter chairs. Like any club of this nature you can sit at the stage or off a bit. The girls are mostly Mexican and range in looks and appearance but most are upper level girls. I saw about 10 girls, could have been more it is dark in there and alott of pillers blocking views. The two best looking girls were 9's in my book, one Mexican and the other from Chile. The Mexican will give table dances for $20 US but will not do full service or will not leave the club with you. The Girl from Chili does give full service and will leave the club, I got the feeling she was selective though. I did end up taking the girl from Chile out and it was not cheap, you can stay in for less but I don't remember the prices. The cost for taking her out for all night was $200 US for the club and $250 US for the girl. The club started at $300 US and the girl also started at $300 US, it was early in the night (10 PM). They will try to push the girls drinks like any establishment in Mexico and when you want to negotiate they will pretend not to understand you. When negotiating skip the waiter for the bar fine and go to a manager. Girls negotiate there own rates when you take them out.

I did not make it anywhere else but Trippstadt has a good post on the Cozumel forum about Chilly Willies dated 2-21-07

Hi All,

My lady and I are headed over in May, and also looking for a lap dance place (and more) so if anyone does share, please include me.

thanks

Mr Smurf,

Thanks for your response. I look forward to my my little trip.

[HornyLilSmurf]

I wouldn't hesitate to take your wife. Merlin Safari is a fairly nice bar. Waiters wear white shirts and ties. It is as nice as most strip clubs I have been at in north america, with the exception perhaps of high end gentlemen's clubs. As indicated, every night I went there, I was with women. One night we took a couple american college girls out and they did not seem too offended by the environment.

[Mister Fister]

For those who have been writing in this thread.

Of the several strip clubs in the Playa Del Carmen area, are there any that are wife friendly? My wife enjoys a good dirty lapdance as much as me, but I don't think she would be happy with a place that is to skanky or just seemed like a *****house. We will be there in early March.

Thanks

[HornyLilSmurf]

WCP - It is in town. Ask any cab driver and they will take you there. Pretty much any cab ride is $5. Be warned, as soon as you request Merlin Safari, the taxi driver will suggest Chilly Willies. Do not give in. I am not sure what time it opens (evening sometime), but it is open until 6 am.

[WCP]

Where is Merlin Safari? How late is it open?

I will be in Playa a few days in mid February and sounds like it may be worth a stop.

[HornyLilSmurf]

I was there the second week of January. Every night for a week our group (a buddy and two dancers from Canada) went to Merlin Safari. Cover is $25 for men, nothing for women. Dances are $20 (200 pesos) for a song, with the action you get varying on the particular girl. The staff were extremely friendly, and drinks were reasonably priced. We took a group of 10 of us there on our second last night, and they only charged 2 cover charges for the whole group. The women ranged from good looking to very hot.

One night, against our better judgement and on the taxi driver's recommendation, we went to Chilly Willies. Cover charge was $35 per person, including the women. Drinks were more expensive, and the women were not as good looking. After one drink, we left and went to our favorite hangout, Merlin Safari. One of the cab driver's indicated that the cabbies get the cover charge at Chilly Willies, hence they all push for tourist to go there. In a nutshell, it is further out of town, more expensive, less fun, and with less attractive women.

On a side note, all the dancers we asked were more than happy to give dirty lapdances to the women in our group.

Provofiev,

There is some action in Merida if you know where to look, and some Spanish helps. I have been coming down here for the past 10 years and have found lots of action.

The newspaper Por Esto has 2 columns of ads for "Masajes", several in the centro. Prices range upwards from 250 pesos. Also there is a "Zona de Tolerenca" on Calle 58 between 69 and 73, although the quality is hit and miss.

SW are usually aong the road to the airport near where it becomes Avenue Itzaes, after about 10pm.

In Feb 06 LE clamped down on houses that advertised their addresses and most are now closed, but that didnt stop the action, its still there.

Nightclubs are on the Periferico, several around the junction with the highway to Cancun. Cant give you are report on them as I haven't been to any, but have seen then driving by.

[Prokofiev]

Just returned from my trip to Merida. I only had 2 days alone before I met up with my girlfriend, so my exploration was quite limited. But sad to report I found almost no action. Several of the massage parlors listed were now closed. Never made it to a strip club as there are none in the downtown area. The local paper El Peso had NO ads for massage, escort, etc and I checked each day. Walked by the bus stations looking for SWs. Saw none.

I'm sure that if you worked the strip clubs on the out-skirts of town you would find something. Also never had time to take a cab ride looking for a Casa de Citas. But the weather was hot and sticky, I had a cold and little time - so no action. Compared to almost any Mexican city, Merida seems squeeky clean - especially El Centro. Nice ruins though . . .
