Rio de Janeiro Reports

[FlappyGilmore0]

What? The hotel couldn't charge a joiner / guest fee but required a whole new room booked! Complete bullshit scam. Worst I've ever heard from a hotel.

Wow that really sucks! I was at Windosor Leme for the first time last week and was really impressed. Good to know that level of service is not reflected across the whole chain.

When people give a hotel review, they should include all the details, especially ones that pertain to having female guests.

100% agree. I'm not picking on you or the hotel. But one thing WE can improve is our reports on the girl-friendliness of the hotel. I've spent a lot of time trying to find GF-hotels and weigh that against other priorities that are important to me. And just finding out guest policies is not easily available on this site. (That problem is compounded by changing policies.) But point well taken; we can help each other out in the Hotels and Rooms forum on the Rio site. (Brazil vets probably don't have this challenge, but as a newb to Rio, I've found it frustrating. And it's definitely not just a Brazil problem.) I will say that I'm booked at a Windsor in Copa. But I did knowingly book it with the knowledge guests aren't allowed, even with a fee. I plan on consumating elsewhere. LOL But, I hope I didn't make the wrong decision.

3rd and Final Fuck You: I asked the manager "Ok, how can we resolve this issue?" he looked at me and said the only way to have multiple guests is. I have to book a NEW room every morning and register each female. I said "That doesn't make any damn sense, I already paid for 5 days. Are you saying I have to pay for ANOTHER room in addition to my current room? You can't just charge me a guest fee?" he just shrugged his shoulders and said "I know that is expensive but we don't have guest fees here. The only option is for you to book a 2nd room and you would have to book it every morning and go thru the checkout / check in process every morning too". I was livid at the craziness. " I calmly said This is ridiculous. Someone should have explained the guest policy in great detail when I asked. There is no way in hell I am going to pay for 2 rooms in the same hotel. ".

Trying to book a flight from Sao Paulo to Rio. But it keeps requiring A CFF or CFP.

You can try check the orange checkbox to indicate you don't have CPF. Their site is not reliable. You may encountered other road block after. Use US 3rd party booking site is better but it costs more overall.

[Bravo]

My normal hotel was booked solid this week, so I went with the Windsor on President Vargas in Centro as a backup. I knew a few guys who worked on the oil rigs and this was their go to spot when they were in Rio. The Windsor Hotel can eat a dick as far as I am concerned! (Now before some smart ass jumps on here with the comment "But Bravo, you should have done your research before you booked a room! Just know, that I did do my research. I actually walked to the hotel in Nov and spoke to the manager. He confirmed that there was no issue with guests as long as I registered them. Not register "Her" but register "Them". I also asked about the guest policy while checking last week and again, they said "You just have to register them". (Side Note: Many years ago, I used to stay at the Atlantico hotel on Siqueira Campos. I used to have multiple women a day visit me there. All they had to do was fill out the form when they arrived and upstairs, we would go, no guest charge, no issue at all).

Well, my first night in Rio, I went out with one of my rolodex girls and when we arrived at the hotel, she had to fill out this long ass form before she could go upstairs. Had a great night and out she went in the morning. That afternoon, I went out my my brazilian girlfriend. We partied and drank all night then went back to the Windor.

3 FUCK YOU Moments at the Windsor!

1st Fuck You: I stopped at the desk so I could register my GF and the night manager looked up my room in the system and said "Oh yes, You are Fabyana right?" My eyes got big as hell as I quickly said "No, I am Bravo and the is G. ! You must be looking at the wrong room number. " Why the fuck would he say the name out loud in front of her instead of just reading her ID? I would have paid money so I could have pimped slapped the shit out of him! He then stares at the screen, calls over another person and then starts to speak to me about the fact that there is a problem. I immediately told him to lower his voice and talk to me in English. (Even though my girl speaks really good english, so this wouldn't have made much of a difference.) I told her to go sit on the couch and I would take care of the situation. I told him, "I didn't want to continue the conversation right there. Here is my credit card, just charge me the fee and let me go upstairs. Its 4 AM, I will deal with this with the manager in the morning". He charges me and for some reason, he gave me another room key. I didn't understand why at that point. I just assumed it was so she could have a key card as well. While going up the elevator, she asked me what the issue was and I told her that I had booked the hotel as 1 guest and not as 2 guests. So they had to charge me for her to stay. Whether she bought it or not, I have no idea, but she dropped the subject.

2nd Fuck You: I went down to speak to the manager in the morning and he tried to explain the situation. Apparently, when you register a guest, that guest stays locked on to you reservation for your ENTIRE trip!! I told him to just remove the first girl and add my GF to the reservation. Since I was only going to stay for 5 nights and she was going to be with me for 4 of them, I figured, no issue. He said that they can't do that and that corporate won't allow them to change the name. I said, "Well since my GF is now registered and she is the only female who will be the only female who will stay with me for the remainder of my trip, I can just walk with her to my room, no reason to stop and fill out forms at the front desk anymore. Problem solved. ". he also said I couldn't just walk into the hotel, head to the elevator and take her to my room, because "Corporate looks at the cameras every day and verifies each guest according to the forms. So, they know who is entering the hotel" I chuckled and said "Really? Corporate has that much free time that they are going to watch 24 hours of video every day and scour over each person who walks to the elevator?

3rd and Final Fuck You: I asked the manager "Ok, how can we resolve this issue?" he looked at me and said the only way to have multiple guests is. I have to book a NEW room every morning and register each female. I said "That doesn't make any damn sense, I already paid for 5 days. Are you saying I have to pay for ANOTHER room in addition to my current room? You can't just charge me a guest fee?" he just shrugged his shoulders and said "I know that is expensive but we don't have guest fees here.

" I calmly said This is ridiculous. Someone should have explained the guest policy in great detail when I asked. There is no way in hell I am going to pay for 2 rooms in the same hotel. ".

I went upstairs and immediately looked up booking on Expedia to see if I could cancel my room, but it looks like I booked the "No Refund" option, so I am fucked!! The good news is that my go to hotel is available, so I will just book 2 rooms at 50 bucks a night and bring females over for Monday and Tuesday, so issues and no drama. I wanted to share with you my experiences at the Windsor so you guys will be forewarned. About 3 years ago, a number of board members were raving about the Astoria hotel in Copa. Nobody fucking mentioned that fact that the hotel charges a 75 R fee for every female that stays overnight. (I know that 75 R was only about 15 bucks but that isn't the point). When people give a hotel review, they should include all the details, especially ones that pertain to having female guests.

You are probably booking on GOL's website for Brazilian users, and the CPF is a government issued number. Foreigners do not have these.

You will need to purchase via GOL's global website.

I went thru a similar ordeal a few years ago with Aerolineas Argentina.

Yeah, one must be careful when booking a Gol Brazilian flight. KKK. Around 6 months ago I was on the Gol Portuguese language web site trying to book an SP-RJ roundtrip flight for my next visit. I found the flight I wanted for around 600 BR, which is a great price, so I started to book it. I do not have a real CPF number and I was risk adverse to trying to use a fake one to buy a plane ticket, so I preceded without entering the CPF. Then the app responded by moving me into the GOL English language portion of their website with no CPF, only a passport requirement, and I was able to proceed with the booking.

Unfortunately, I noticed too late that although the English language Gol web site had kept all my flight information from the Portuguese language GOL site, the price of the flight had changed from 600 BR to $600 and this was a no change / no refund ticket. My fault totally, but so what. There was no way I was going to pay $600 for an SP-RJ one hour flight, so rather than argue or beg for a refund from a Gol representative, I called my credit card company and reported a false charge. My account was immediately credited for the amount in question. Then a few days later GOL sent me an email asking me to confirm the flight. I did not respond. Then I received my new credit card in the mail. End of story. I waited a month for the dust to settle and then I booked an SP-RJ flight with Latam for a reasonable price.

So I landed at GIG Thursday. After clearing customs pretty quick, I pulled out 1000 pesos from an airport ATM using a Cap1 credit card. After the $10 fee, I got a net rate of 4. 07 .my ass still hurts. Shared an Uber to my Copacabana airbnb, and hit the Mabs-Dolce-Kalabria scene that night. About what I expected from reading this forum. A bunch of 6's & 7's. Got a few numbers, and negotiated with a nice tight ass spinner I met on Friday. Offered her 300 to come to my room. She reluctantly agreed, and then stipulated that I pay her upfront. I said I'll show you the money when you get here, but pay you after. She still wanted it upfront. So I told her to get lost.

Saturday I went to Monte Carlo early around 5 pm. 150 to get in and about 15 girls & 5 guys. Talked to a Latina looking bubble butt with big DSL's. She said her name was Katherine who I remembered from this thread. She responded she did not blow without a condom. So I passed and went with a very tall blonde named Julia. 5'9, toned legs, nice Brazilian butt, good face, good nipples. Did 40 min in basic room for 400 total. Will not repeat. She was "running away" the whole session in room. In DFK & bbj she would flicker the tip of her tongue and pull it back evading contact. Interestingly, in doggy, she was wide open with her ass up and completely welcoming. I even had a thumb in her ass to the first knuckle. Anyhow, Julia was too distant sexually. Her service was one step above clip joint service common at Adelita's or Fiebre.

So next on my list are the Centaurus, 4 x4, Solarium scene. As well as the BarraVip & Riosexsite girls. Can I trust the Barra & Rio girls to arrive at my apartment as the girl pictured?

*BTW, pulled 1320 reales out of a Bradeso ATM using Cap1 debit. Got the full Google rate of 4. 96 woohoo.

Try to use a third party, like booking.com or your credit card concierge or other travel agency etc. Get a tax number later if you travel frequently to Brazil.

I need to start a ketamine bar, and get the hottest ass girls in rio to be ketamine baristas.

Gents, am I a swiss military genius or what?

Man. What a cutie in a 1964 bob cut and little bow and angelic voice as the snow falls outside. Reminds me of the contrast of New York in winter (and sex prison) compared to to the refreshing sunshine, beach, blue sky and freedom of Rio and its many beautiful women. Perfect for sunset, Caipirinha in one hand, a pretty girl's hand in my other hand or snuggling up to me and watching the surf break and smile from ear to ear.

Tall and tan, and young, and lovely.
The girl from Ipanema goes walking.
And when she passes.
Each one she passes goes: Ah!

When she walks, she's like a samba.
That swings so cool and sways so gently.
That when she passes.
Each one she passes goes: Ah!

Except that in this forum, we nearly always get the girl(s) !!!

And then in Auua De Beber. I think I might add her to my soundtracks while with the ladies to mentally bank and later associate this this song with wonderful sexual joy that happens with a with one (or more) pretty Brazilian girls with pert, full 20 year old tits. The nursing home (if I get that sick) will always be puzzled while the old guy always smiles widely when the track plays. Thanks to the contributors on this board for adding this dimension.

I'd like to nominate Andy Williams. Music to Watch Girls By:

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by.
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene.
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town.
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss.

Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere.
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care.

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back.
That makes the world go 'round.
"What's that sound? " each time you hear a loud collective sigh.
They're making music to watch girls by.

One of my best friends is in Bogota with showaround. Known her a long time. She does complain that guys will try to date her. And I see in Rio the girls even state on their profile. "look elsewhere for dates, please don't waste my time" cost is not cheap but well worth it. BTW. When will you be there?

Landing on Sept 17. I'm talking to a girl from ShowAround and I'm getting mixed signals. My inclination is to respect it as a tour or transportation only. But she's said some things that seem to indicate other possibilities. We'll see. I'm going to play it by ear.

[DonCarlos1234]

Anyone have experience with girls from ShowAround? I'm talking mongering experience or even as a guide. From a non-mongering aspect, I can do alot worse than a good looking, english speaking girl to show me the sights. I've just never used the site and wondering how others have fared.

Some profiles on the site are scams, others are inactive, some are flaky and unreliable. Seems like you need to do a lot of work to find a match. Mixed reviews to say the least.

I would consider them as affordable private guides, not for getting laid. Plenty of avenues for that in Brazil, kkkk.

Garota de Ipanema is on Rua Vinicius de Moraes in Ipanema.

Hit up Perola Negra. Plenty of girls there. If you're into whiter skinned girls, there were plenty of them. But they were more on the thick side / liposuction. There were two whiter skinned girls who offered me a good time. Thing is I'm here for negras and mulatas. So I declined. But if anyone wants thick snow bunnies with their natural tities still intact Brazilian style, seems like they're in Perola Negra.

As for my interest, I saw 2 mulata girls. One was drop dead gorgeous (though with tattoos which I don't like but. Oh well). I was wanted to take her but some guy already was all over her. There was no way to have gotten her. He didn't let her go and I'm not fighting over a girl. The other mulata was thick. Way less pretty than the other mulata. But doable. So I chose the thick mulata. Don't remember her name. She sucked dick like a champ. Did work on her like crazy. She didn't do anal. She had a great personality. Total was about 550 for an hour. I wanted an hour and a half but Perola Negra didn't offer that option. Typical South Americans. Terrible business people. The palce was empty and they couldn't give me an hour and a half? Oh well. I was happy with the thick mulata girl but deep down I wanted the other mulata girl (who was busy with some old asshole local).
