Guatemala City

[Batman]

Npaul, glad to see you liked Los Torres. Its a little spartan but its the best location for the money and its safe. Have fun in Antigua the best bar there is Mono Locos (near the central park)good food (big ass burritos)and lots of english spoken there.
Oh and your comment about the local girls not being very friendly is very true. there is a saying about Chapinas they will invite you to dinner but wont give you the address

Day 2 in Gte City was spent at Cappriccios. Half hour rate is now 500Q or 63.33 $US and hour rate is $100 on premises. Take out is $200US or 1,500Q. Quite expensive for a third world country, but the girls are the top of the line.

For some reason I was interested in doing a black girl, since I had done a white Russian girl the night before. There were 2 good looking black girls there.

Did a slim black girl for 500Q on site, about an 8.5, but her attitude was not the best. BBW and 69 was the best part of the half hour. Mid way through the session I had lost interest in her and she got an attitude because I was no longer hard. I tried to tell her that she was the problem, not me. She was probably telling me not to come in her mouth, so I ended up unloading on her chest. Girl did not know any English and spoke too fast to understand, must have been a black Guatemalan.

I had earlier tried to do another girl at Capricchios, a tall slim 9.5 Naomi Campbell with a perfect body, but she tried to demand too many drinks from me. Her name started with an M like Milany. Demanded a $10 Tequila immediately at first conversation, but it got her to do a good bump and grind in the lounge area for starters. When I got her back to the 500Q room for a half hour session she again demanded another $10 Tequila. Even though she was almost perfect I was fed up with her demanding attitude and said sorry, then walked out of the room from her before starting the session and tried the other black girl who was about an 8.5. It seems the more your tongue hangs out for a girl the more they sense it and demand more ladys drinks or money.

Cab driver told me the SW are 300Q TLN. Drove past several on the way back from Capprichios but they were not appealing. Probably because I had already unloaded my wad. Many TVs, about half of the SWs.

Beggers outside clubs, one girl stood holding her infant in a blanket, I guess to arouse sympathy. Sorry I am not interested in sex with you, lady.


Not too much to do during the day, may visit Antigua tomorrow and see the sites.

Need a sweater at night.

Local girls not particularly friendly, met a hot 20 year old at a small jewelry store and made plans, but the store closed the afternoon and girl was not there at the time planned. Must have been my looks and personality and age. Either that or she did not know about pay for play, in otherwords I buy you dinner and you come to my room afterwards.

First night in Gte city.

Would rate it on par with Costa Rica!

Checked into Batman recommended hotel in zone 10, Los Torres. Day manager charged me $30 for a room, then said all he had left was one with the TV not working and right off the lobby, so it was very hard to sleep with all the noise from the phones ringing and people in the lobby. Night security guard did not mind if I brought a girl for the night, but said she would have to be out before 6 am when the day staff arrived. One guy from Chicago had negotiated a monthly rate of $330 for a room in the back($11 a night).


Am checking into the Holiday Inn for a special price of $65 plus 22 percent tax, a night for the next few days. They have pool, gym and 4 stars. Extra $20 if you check in a girl for toda noche. Tell them your fiancee is coming later, book a double room for the same price, and there will be no extra $20 charge when you bring a girl into your room later.

The girl scene is very good here. Many of the girls speak English some. Visited 4 clubs last night and ended up at Capprichios. Surprised that there are very few travelors here.


First was Platinum. There were about 15 dancer girls there dressed in black and white uniforms. They seemed aggressive and not nice, so I left after a trip to the bathroom. Average age of dancers were about 25.

Next the cab driver recommended Mens Club which was on the way to Cappricchios. Said the girls were younger, which is true. The girls dressed in street clothes, some in sexy dresses, others in average clothes. One girl was from California, named Desire, so she said, age 20. Overall the girls here were aggressive, but nice and doable. One girl hung on me and offered to do anal, sticking my finger in the area of the hole. Another girl unzipped my fly and carressed my penis. Many of the girls were a little chubby or flat chested, no one would rate above a 7.5 but they were fun to hang out with and not high pressure. Average age was 22. Price 400Q for half hour on premises. At 8 to $1 that is about $50.

The cab driver stopped at another club called Leon (Lion was on the front). 5 girls there, all skaggy.

Ended up at Capprichios! About 30 girls there, also found 7 Russian girls working there. Most of the girls were from Gte, but not short and fat like the girls you would see on the street, most were slim and rated 7-8. 2 black girls there, very attractive. Good strip shows also. I took a tall sexy 20 year old Russian girl in the back got a good hour session for $100. Should have paid $50 for the half hour session, did not use the whole session, but live and learn.

Russian girl was named Alexandra and said she learned English in Moscow at school. Had been working there 6 months and said she made enough money there to support herself, left Russia because she had family problems and was working there voluntarily. Said she had a Brazilian boyfriend but was not interested in marriage.

Will probably return to Capprichios or Mens Club.

About the weather, etc. it is cool and dry, alot like San Jose Costa Rica in many ways. Food on the street is cheap. On the other hand you can stay in more expensive hotels and spend more money.

Hey Tica man you want to stay in ZONE 10 and all the bars the JG has mentioned bellow are close to each other in zone 11 two of them are on the same street ( Paisano and El Paso) one block apart. I wold stay out of zone 1 if I were you.


Ticaman
Paisano and El Paso are the names of the bars. If you get a chance to read the previous posts, you'll see that there is for instance a post with very detailed directions on how to get to El Paso. By the way, there are at least 3 Paisanos and at least 2 El Paso bars.

Have fun and stay safe. J.G.

Hi This1greatman
I didn't check out the park that you mentioned. The only thing that caught my attention at walking distance from chalet suizo were the street venders and the shops where I had some tasty Choripan and Gauchitos(spelling may be off) for about 12 Q.
I agree with you in that during all my stay there I felt completely safe. I continue to highly recommend my cab driver. My last night, he came and picked my up at 4 AM sharp from the hotel to take to airport. Very good and reliable guy.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to say thanks for all the great info here from all of you.

I will be going to Guatemala in December for thr first time. I have read many action spots mentioned but got a bit confused. Can somone please clarify the below :

Pick up bars - Perehes ( Zone 9 ) and Milleniums ( Zone 7 ), what are the addresses for both bars, are they regular girls or working girls, what's the cost. Any other pick up bars can be recommended.

Local joints - El Paso & Paisano, are they the type of bars or the exact name of the bars and what's the address of both places.

Any massage places you can recommend, what's the quality, price and address. Should I go to visit during the day or night.

Which Zone should I stay as I like to go to disco and pick up some local girls if that is available.

Thanks very much in advance.

[Tica Man]

I will be going to Guatemala City the first week of December, Should I stay in Zona 1 or Zona 10 as long as where the action is. Please advise the difference of the two Zonas, how far is one zona from the other. Also, most important, can someone please advise any local spots as I am sure price will be lower, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Ngp477]

Thanks for all the info. I will be going to Gte City next Tuesday, the 19th if anyone else will be there, please send me a private message.

It sounds like Caprichos is the best for in service and Platinum is the best for take out.

Alot of other clubs are mentioned but by only one poster. Does anyone have recent info on the following?
Platinum
Escape
Gardens
Caprichos
Oasis
Perehas-disco
Mileniums
Caesars
Marujar
Twist
Paisano
Trebel
Country
Le Club
Men's Club
El Paso
Barranquito

Thanks for any updates.

As the following photo shows, I am taking my Viagra in preparation for the trip!

Hotel Los Torres is in Zona 10 AT the intersection of La reforma and 13 Calle one half block in across from the Holiday Inn on 13th Calle best deal for the money in Guatemala City. Its near all the action of zone 9 and 10 and close to zone 12and 11 (near the airport)where those short time bars are off Roosevert or CA1.

J.G.

You did the right thing by getting a taxi reference from the desk clerk at Chalet Suizo, and sticking with him for the trip.

I agree that Zona Uno is deserted and dead after dark. The only street action seems to be the TVs on Avenida Cinco.

Did you check out Concordia Park? It's only two blocks from Chalet Suizo, but it was boarded off and "under reconstruction" while I was there. I had been told it was a good pickup place in the early evening. It's a safe area (as police headquarters are on the northeast corner), and they don't give a shit about chasing SWs. I admit that seeing teenage cops with automatic weapons is a little disconcerting, but I felt totally safe at all times.

Today Saturday not much going on in terms of bars since tomorrow is general elections and no liqour consumption allowed tonight.
I went to a massage/sauna place called ¨tres monos sabios¨or something very similar to that. It is on the way to Antigua city, right on the interamerica highway going from Guatemala city to Antigua city. It is just past the town Mixco. 250 Q. will get you one hour of massage, BJ and FULL SERVICE. I tried them once on my way to Antigua and then again on the return. It´s an auto motel, you go in, pick the girl, then they take you to a nice room which has behind it a bathroom and a small sauna. The girls are about 5 to 6 mostly, they give very complete and friendly service. The sauna and bath however is behind the room, if you decide to use them, keep your pants/money in the line of sight which will be difficult to do. Hours are from 9 to 9. I had a Guatemalan girl on my way in and a Honduran on my way back.
On the exact same road, a couple of miles more towards Antigua is another place called Sirenas. It was closed today. My taxi driver said it´s more expensive than the one I mentioned above.
My taxi driver´s cell phone number is 4014775, his name is Leonel. He doesn´t speak much English, but he has been a taxi driver here for 26 years, so he knows a lot of places. I believe he also works outside Marriott hotel.
Twist bar is on 32 Calle, zona 3. Wear your ear plugs if you decide to check it out.
Antigua itself was nothing exciting for me, there are a lot of shops, etc if you want to go souvenir hunting but I wasn´t interested.
This is a huge city with all the traffic and pollution that come with a big city. It has a very well established sex trade which will take me a full two weeks stay just to be able to scratch the surface.
I will again say that in my opinion, hotel chalet suizo is kind of far from action. I hope one of the Guatemala experts here can suggest a nice hotel closer to bars Paisano, Country, etc.
Good luck and thanks again to all the previous posters. J.G.

Gentlemen,

I have spent my first full day in Guatemala City. First of all I´d like to sincerely thank all the posters for their useful information, making my short visit as productive as possible.

Here's my report:

The airport is nice and modern, the customs agents very friendly, banks available for changing money and the taxi to zona 1, hotel Chalet Suizo is 60 quetzales as previously mentioned.

The hotel is exactly as previously mentioned. The cost now is about 160 Q. which is just over 20 dollars. Very basic hotel, no TV, friendly day and night staff, "guest friendly". In my opinion it is kind of far from the action, at least the places that I have been going to. However, since I am only going to be here a short time, I didn't bother looking for another hotel.

I feel safe here, but EVERYBODY warns you about safety, so there must be some safety/security issues going on here. Different people warned me about not taking a cab off the street, they said most of the time everything will be okay, but once in a while the cab drivers will trick you and meet up with their "associates"and rob you of everything you got. So I am using the same cab driver here, his name is Leonel, charges 50 Q per hour, knows all the spots. The hotel called him for me. If I don´t lose his card, I will post his cell phone number in a future post.

I did not go to any of the touristy expensive places. Went to the two El Paso bars, Paisano bar, Twist bar and Country. They were all as mentioned in previous posts.

Here is how it works in the bars here. You go in, sit down, there are usually about 8 to 10 girls in these places. You order something to drink which will cost you around 20 to 25 Q.
Nobody will bother you, in fact the girls will all ignore you until you motion to one to come over. Their drinks will cost about the same or sometimes up to 40 Q. per drink. I always had only one drink, enough for introductions, but I wasn´t there to drink! All the girls live on the premise, they´ll take you to their room, the full service will cost anywhere between 50 Q per 30 minutes to 120 Q. per 30 minutes. 15 minute sessions are also available. I didn't bargain, I just paid what they asked for, it seemed reasonable. For those of you who stay here a while and get to know the system better, you may be able to go even lower.

ALL the girls that I met were from El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. I banged four girls and none is a local girl so far! They were all without exception courteous and gave good service. I do not have any complaints. The bar Twist has extremely loud music, wear ear plugs before going in. PAISANO bar was my favorite, I would recommend it as a starting point. I think I went to the one on zona 11, but there are two more Paisanos in zona 12 (I may have the "zonas"confused, but your taxi driver should know, if he doesn´t, get rid of him).

At night, I went to zona 9 and picked up a Honduran girl SW, 23, about a 5, very polite, good service. 150 Q and I could have bargained down but didn't. The prices in the bars are so cheap and the quality is good, so I am not sure if there is any need to pick up SW's. I also went to my own neighborhood, zona 1, but we only saw a couple of transvestites so I can´t tell you too much about the street action in zone 1.

Unfortunately as my bad luck would have it, this weekend there are elections in Guatemala, my understanding is that the bars are closed since no drinking will be allowed. Anyways, I´ll try to find something to do and post later.

My overall impressions:

The city is very big, don't come here if you don't like big cities. The people are very friendly. The prices are very cheap, in fact possibly even cheaper than Honduras. Security is a concern, but if you have a trusted cabbie, you should be okay. There are many many sex workers in this city, most of whom are from other countries. They will give you good friendly service. Consider finding a hotel which is closer to the bars than Chalet Suizo. The exchange rate right now is about one dollar to 8 Quetzales.

I agree with the poster "Pacifico" that you don't need to go to all the gringo/touristy clubs to get good sex, but to each his own.
As "Chango" says, "tear it up".

Have ticket flexible for travel to Guatemala City and I can go there anytime until March. I am planning mid January, tentatively Jan 15-26, just waiting to see if anyone is going to be there between mid December-end of January and maybe I will be able to plan accordingly if someone wants to hook up. I speak above elementary spanish.

My main questions are on cheap budget hotels. Can anyone give me an opinion on Fortuna Royal, Hotel Ajau, Hotel Colonial, Chalet Suizo(mentioned numerous times), Spring hotel, and Concordia hotel. I would like to spend less than 30US a night and some of these hotels are real low budget and are in undesirable areas and are less than 20US a night. Prefer safe box, very girl friendly(even accepting sw's as guests), and halfway clean. I am not too concerned about safety though I hear zona 1 is dangerous but have been to Mexico City and can't imagine many places more dangerous than there walking at night and I practice the usual caution. I will appreciate any help and if good info, will share photos/info from some of my trips to other countries, DR, etc.

Is it reasonable to go to brothel(similar establishment) during day for quickie, and have an overnight/couple hours at night/ from someone, sw/pro/semi-pro for around 50US a day? Will try for amateurs as well and will visit normal bars/discos in better areas and flirt during day with whoever I can. Can I eat and drink for around 35US a day, only eat two modest meals and probably about 12 drinks daily? Please some help and can check out my postings in the Dom Rep(mainly under Boca Chica and see some of my photos as well under general info). Or can email me, just add hotmail to my user name. If you live there, are traveling there in a few months, or have some info I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

To This1GreatMan,

I will be returning to Guatemala City in the next week or so. Email me if you like at studplayer1@hotmail.com.

studplayer and stallion03:

I'm sorry I didn't come across your posts until after you already left.

My posts on my adventures in Zona Uno are listed on this board (7/01/02 9/21/02 12/06/02 1/16/03 and 1/17/03).

As I mentioned, Concordia Park was closed for renovation while I was there, which the "Rough Guide" stated was a good location for an inexpensive pickup point (if you can screen out the TVs).

I'd enjoy hearing about your experiences. I'm hoping to go back.
