Panama City

[Lee]

Thinking about planning a trip in September. Is it really worth compare to pre covid?

Since 2013 I've been a frequent visitor to Panama. Other than this last trip late June through July I have not been there since November 2019. Cancel a trip in early 2020 for obvious reasons.

It was a strange experience in many ways. Example:

Exiting customs you step into a very large long hallway that on all previous trips was packed with humanity all of which wanted to become your new very best friend. This trip I stepped onto that long wide hallway that was occupied by exactly 3 people. This was about 2 PM in the afternoon. Literally had to go into the parking lot to find a taxi. The first one I found I gave to a young lady who is very upset that she couldn't find one.

Speculation: lots of people flying into the airport few actually staying in Panama. I stayed at the Marriott AC. Estimate they may have had 20 guest. Many other hotels are closed. Restaurants are open but not a lot of customers. Reduced menus.

The bar with the ever-changing names is open and there are women available for various activities but not in the same numbers as before. I was expecting that and made arrangements via the Internet to see several ladies. A couple of which were previous dates. That actually worked out really well as it was pretty easy to negotiate reasonable prices for long stays. Example one very attractive early 30's offered to spend A week with me 24 seven for $1500. Sounds like a lot but in Las Vegas she could've easily got that for the evening. No I did not do that. Wasn't that hard to find a six hour evening for A bit more than $200.

So short version ladies available for a short stays $150-$200 just not as wide as selection. Take a look at the Internet a lot of potential there. That's the downside the upside you don't have to deal with crowds. And on your way home you can get a Covid test for 50 bucks at the airport.

I used to post occasionally on an obsolete site (World Sex Archives). Have been primarily a "lurker" at this site. Since most of my adventures were pre-marriage, I've been quiet the last 15 years! Are you questioning my street cred? Not sure why you would point out the number of posts and years on the site? Not everything we do in life is shared on the WWW. Safe travels.

LOL. Don't worry about it, I don't see why anyone would even care to research another user unless they were looking for specific posts for information. It's just "internet points", so who cares. Nice to have you on the board man. I'm booked for 8 nights at the JW. You have any suggestions other than Don Julio / The JW Casino for girls? I know about Bocaterña, but don't know if I want to get that grungey.

Is Mileroticos / Facebook a thing down there?

Are your trip reports under a different username? I can only see 10 posts total in two countries over 5 years.

Was there in July. You must have a negative test to get in. The airline will require it of you to board and on your arrival have to show it before they let you go through immigration.

I've been fortunate to have visited 60+ countries and have gotten laid in most of them!

I will have a one-night stay in Panama City before heading to Cartagena the next morning. The website of US Embassy in Panama says that one needs PCR or Antigen Covid Test to enter Panama. Can someone who recently entered Panama within July or August 2021 confirm this? Thanks.

I will check out the quality at Don Julio and the casino next to Marriott after checking in to the hotel.

Thanks! Do the girls there speak any English, or is Spanish preferred? I'm fluent, but simply curious what to expect. I have been to Colombia now 20 x times so feel free to PM me and we can chat via WhatsApp if you want. Always happy to help with advice on a first trip.

I am headed to cartagena the last week of September. It has always been outstanding for me.

I was only there for 6 nights, but in my experience very few girls speak English.

I don't have PM ability. Yet. Sent in my payment (cash = no trace) and am waiting for it to het processed. Appreciate the offer. May reach out to you just to test the PM function!

Should be good for my 1st trip to Colombia thanks to this board and my overall experience. I've been fortunate to have visited 60+ countries and have gotten laid in most of them!

It really isn't far from Don Julio. No congestion on the roads from JW to DJ. Yes, I went to DJ and brought girls back. No issues getting them in. Take the elevators on the left side of the floor level and when you exit at the hotel lobby level turn left, pass the bar, and go straight to the elevators. Reception is on other side of hotel lobby. Also, the Ocean Sun Casino in same building as the JW has a bunch of girls. Not every night, but I'm guessing Thur-Sat for sure. I'd suggest you check that out. Similar pricing / quality. FWIW, both girls I pulled from the casino provided BBBJ. YMMV, they always say "depends on hygiene". Enjoy your trip to Panama. I'm heading to Cartagena in late September. First time. From what I've read it's going to be legendary!

P.S. - Ambassador got me breakfast buffet (or ala carte) in the restaurant one floor below the lobby and "dinner" in the lobby bar. You might want to write to them and ask what benefits they are offering now. Those things can change!

I'm typing this up as I'm at the airport on my way to board a flight to Cartagena in the early AM. So normally I hate long layovers especially ones that require me to stay overnight but my layover this time was in Panama so I thought to myself, why not? I've heard decent things about it and my layover could be worse. So I booked a night at the Intercontinental Miramar which is like 7 mines away from Habano's so it worked out perfectly. The country is still under a curfew but has slightly improved based on what previous reports indicate. The curfew is now 12 am pending on your region and Habanos is open until 11 pm. I got there around 10 (due to the shit show at customs) and thought I would have arrived too late. I told my taxi driver to just drive by so I could take a look but fortunately made the right decision. A bunch of Colombian girls are there and they won't make a move on you unless you flag them over. Personally, I like Colombia or Brazil where they come by and tap me or give me affection when they want me attention but that's just me. The girls were pretty attractive and still plentiful at this time of hour, I can only imagine what it's like a bit earlier and on a weekend as I went on a Wednesday night. The beers are $6 a piece but as the saying goes I'm here for a good time not a long time. Talked the girl to an hour and went back to my hotel for $100/ hour. Had no issues getting her into my hotel and went to my room. Had a great experience, however the girl just didn't want to kiss which is fine. Had an early morning so I told the girl to go home after we sessioned. All in all, Panama is a pretty city and I would return but I wouldn't stay much longer than a weekend.

I looked again and found the JW! I just booked 8 nights. I'm an Ambassador level with them, so the lounge in closed but you can get the complimentary breakfast / dinner at their bar?

Also, it's a bit far Don Julio. What was your best approach for the girls? Did you go there and bring them back? Any problems getting them in? (I booked a room for 2 people just in case).

Maybe you need to scroll down further? There is a JW Marriott in the old Trump Tower. Attached to Ocean Sun Casino. Just checked to make sure they hadn't closed!

Found it! You were right, I didn't scroll far enough. Do you think it's a bit far from the action, or did you find lots of opportunities for the girls down near the water?

[YyzTravel]

Don't know about Waldorf but the JW Marriott is very nice (see post below). Great wireless and they hooked me up with an extra monitor for my visit end of May. Lounge was closed, but they had a menu you could order from in the bar. Chicken wings were great! Burger was also very good. Also, since you mentioned you're a Marriott guy, the AC hotel is very close to Don Julio (FKA Habanos) and is guest friendly.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but it's all I got!

Are you talking about a "JW", or just a "The W". I only see "The W Hotel" on the Marriott website.
