Managua

[World Travel 69]

I have a few listed on this Map.

Anyone else not like to mix their hotel business with their alternative activities? I keep most of my valuables in my room and also like those quaint B&B type places. I like the real experience of a country. I saw some quality SW. I looked up the auto hotels and they don't list prices and I'm not sure I can throw a SW in a taxi and show up. Is there any per hour hotels anyone knows of?

I'm watching the uh. 'Nica Canal' project with interest. If, and it is a huge if, they actually manage to complete that project, the economic impact on Nicaragua will be immense. Nicaragua has a lot of areas that if developed and run properly, could give Costa Rica a serious run for its money. My money is on the Nicaraguan Labor Syndicates screwing something up though and chasing the Chinese away, but if it is actually completed there may be some new destinations to pursue the hobby.

Zero % chance of coming to fruition. I say zero because there is not really a negative # that can be used to express percentages. If there was it would be a -1,000,000 % chance.

There are too many auto hotels and motels in Managua to list but some of the better choices are Fantasia near place Inter, Auto Hotel 10 1/2 on careterra masaya, there are a couple near tiscapa. You should expect to pay between 10 and 20 usd for about 3 hours in one of these nicer places. They also have suite with Jacuzzi which can run up to 40 usd for 3 hours. There is even one called Autohotel Vistas de Asososca near the us embassy that offers free transportation when you leave. Any taxi can take you to a short time place and you can even arrange for it to come back to pick you up.

Be aware that at 10 1/2 the water supply is lacking enough hot to actually fill the jacuzzi which also leaks a bit. Quite an exercise getting enough in to even make the jets work before the hot water expires or what you managed to get in it leaks away. Not a great value.

The principals of Fantasia and 10 1/2 have a 3rd one the name of which escapes me.

Theoretically you can walk into these places but they are off the beaten track so a car or a taxi who will come back is pretty much essential.

A couple others depending on where you are include El Almendro (not to be confused with an actual hotel of the same name in LOS Robles), Burbujas near the entrance to Ciudad Sandino, Salamandra near the quite dangerous Hugo Chavez barrio. The latter is quite cheap but the area is dodgy.

My driver takes me to the AH, then leaves and comes back at the expiry time.

NB They always offer a slightly superior rate for US$ than cambistas do , so if you have US you save maybe 50 cents on a better room.

You must be the old man they told me about when I was there over the weekend. Funny how you are the only one I've ever heard about in the 5 years that I have been staying there, That Pablo said wasn't allowed back. He said this guy complained about evvverything. Always two sides to every story, right? I had great time as usual. Had 5 girls in four days. To each his own I guess. Topped it off Sunday, with a day at Luguna de Apoyo with 2 of my girls at a great place called La Abuela. I suggest you try it!

Yes, I am the old dude who can bang two or three girls a day. I have been coming to Nicaragua for a lot more than 5 years. I went to the hotel because you thought it was the place. Would you disagree the hotel is a shithole and the guys running it want to fuck every female guest in their hotel and ask to be paid up front?

Well, I made it to Managua earlier this December. I traveled all over the country and I'll post more in those sections. Managua was a nice surprise. Although there is traffic, pollution, and parts are dangerous, that's to be expected in a big, third-world city. I took a licensed taxi (they have the light on the roof) everywhere, and I was safe even late at night. I went to Good Times twice while I was there, and I really liked it. It's a nice, small strip club, and the Nica chicas were much hotter than I expected.

Three or four 10's both nights, with the rest 7's to 9's. They all quoted US $100 for an hour in the back room, and I know that Nica men pay less than that. I negotiated Pamela down to $80 and that's the best I could do.

I really don't understand how they make money there (other than buying the chicas expensive drinks), because they'll sit on your lap and grind on you as long as you want, without a charge. You can feel them up without getting thrown out, too. One chica had her hand down my pants for about ten minutes.

Streetwalkers are everywhere on the main road from the airport to downtown. They hang out in front of gas stations and convenience stores. I didn't engage with any of them, but I saw several 9's and 10's.

The Managua map that World Traveler provided is really excellent. Use it!

I had a great time in Managua! I'll be back.

I have been to Nicaragua many times, and one thing I would bet money on is that it will never become a Costa Rica. The main reason is that the weather is so darn hot. Now you look at San Jose in Costa Rica. The temperature is very comfortable. Same goes for Lima in Peru. Now there is some nice weather in other parts of Nicaragua, but we are talking mongering in the major cities, and I don't see it becoming a Costa Rica.

I'm watching the uh. 'Nica Canal' project with interest. If, and it is a huge if, they actually manage to complete that project, the economic impact on Nicaragua will be immense. Nicaragua has a lot of areas that if developed and run properly, could give Costa Rica a serious run for its money.

A couple of years back when I went, there was one girl that spoke English, she was from Belize.

One, and a couple years back confirms the information then.

I usually like to try public transportation. It's a challenge, a little adventure, and does save a few pennies. But I see that it's not a good idea in Managua.

Thanks!

If we book at an auto-hotel, are there usually chicas nearby or on the property itself? We will only go in the daytime. d.

I have been to every autohotel in Managua and several outside. I have never seen working girls there. These places are where married guys take girlfriends and where younger guys who live at home do the same. I go with either girls I see on the side while the girl I am with works, and sometimes with the girl I am with who likes the experience, sex chair, jacuzzi (if you get enough hot water to fill it, which is tough), round bed, room service, etc.

Daytime, even if there were girls would be highly unlikely. Like zero chance. Not saying it can't happen but I think it is fair to say it doesn't happen.

And you don't book at an autohotel. You arrive and drive into an open room's garage space.

Actually, it happened to me once too, maybe 6-8 years ago. It was my first visit & I was staying in Bello Horizonte. I think the Hotel Don Carmelo before it became that name (pic on Agoda is familiar, not the name). I was walking the area and a young cop walked straight to me and asked me for some money - $5 or so I think. I told him I was a retired cop from the EEUU & he was corrupt & unprofessional in my basic spanish. Anyway, after about 20 minutes talking & finding out he earned $110 a month I voluntarily gave him a 100 C or so & said goodbye a mi hermano. He was quite happy & we chatted many times after that without issue.

Just my 2 cents.

Afterthoughts. Yes Solid Gold is useless as, IMO, Good Times. I had some problems with a chica at Club Cueto but the management made it right. Hard to argue with that. My only complaint there is they don't open until around 9. Any other decent bars out there like La Vida en Rosa & Azul Azul? Preferably where I can smoke my cigar (like La Vida en Rosa).

Also. Thinking about two things. Renting a car this time & visiting Granada. I'll be taking young newbie & he wants to visit Granada; I'm torn between going with him & just pointing the direction. We'll arrive this coming weekend for about a week. Comments?

Well, once 6 years ago and a $5 bribe is a far cry from the ridiculous other story.

I think SG is closed. I just got back from Managua last night and we passed it a lot and the whole facility looks like shit. Anyway even if open it was a joke the one time I made the error of going there.

Interestingly I saw a great looking blonde going into Diamond for work and I don't know where she's from but she certainly wasn't from Central America. Russia maybe? Hard to say but a real babe. Still not worth their ridiculous prices and since I was with one of my exes not really an option. I remember before McDonalds there, the girls from Diamond were out back of the Texaco a lot for smokes and they were easy to chat to and arrange something outside the purview of the club. No idea if they wander there now.

Granada is a great idea if you are 70+ and wear socks with sandals. It is boring.

I'm glad it's easier to get there now. I don't beleive the $200 dollar thing especially with the part where the cops asked for nothing at all yet supported this scam. If it did happen to you, that's amazing.

Solid Gold was a joke and a dump years ago and now it even looks like a dump on the outside. If it's open, let us know how it is. I went there once for free with an offer from the management and it was still a waste of my time.

Maybe it is a cloud with a silver lining. If you like the clubs, I hope it is for your entertainment fun. It is close enough to where Hollywood was so the walk will be the same. At worst, it's closed, or open and a waste of time.

It is a lot more safe than these stories would lead others to believe so I don't think there's a lot of value in 6 year old unusual extortion attempts that others might think are likely today.

My wife and I are spending some time in Nicaragua. We have a thing where sometimes we like to share another girl. We've never paid for action because we've got girl friends at home, but this might be a chance to try it.

Are any of the clubs couple-friendly? I won't have intercourse with the chica, but there are other options. Sex is reserved for wife only.

If we book at an auto-hotel, are there usually chicas nearby or on the property itself? We will only go in the daytime. Is there a particular auto-hotel with nice chicas on premise? Another question I have is about special requests, like pix. Of course, no faces. We just like souvenirs sometimes. Dunno how most of the girls feel about that. (I've seen some non-face pics on this site.).

I'm sorry if these are totally noob questions. I want to make sure we have a good time, but also a safe time. Any advice will be appreciated.

That was a scene I was never directly involved in but I knew one couple that was years ago. I'm sure it took some effort on their part to find working girls who were okay with this but I can tell you they never had a shortage of women, and most were quite attractive.

As far as attempting to find them near auto-hotels, I would advise against that. I think you would be better off trying to find partners in a strip joint. Tell the girls what you want and even if they are not interested, they can probably tell you if any of the other girls are.
