Posts: 239Laurles hotels and airbnb
On my first trip about 2 years ago hotel suite comfort was girl friendly, as in the girl showed ID and then they let her up to the room. Then later that week I stayed in hotel TRYP and same process, show ID at front desk. In both cases registered for 2 persons and never paid a fee.
I have found Airbnb to be less expensive but not as nice as the professional places like casacol. I have not stayed in one but they seem much nicer. The lifeafar website also has some BRAND new places not far from the main park laurles. I am not trying to impress the girls with my apt more with the cash they get. Less paid on apt more on chicas.

Posts: 207Laureles Airbnb. San peter vs Casacol
I am gearing up for my second trip next month. I posted this in the main Medellin thread but did not receive a response, so this is a repost.
Last year I stayed in Mansion for a couple of days then shifted to San Peter in Laureles for rest of my 10 day trip. My biggest complaint with San Peter is the noise from the bars in the area especially from Thursday to Sunday.
Otherwise, I think its a perfect location to hit up centro during the day and strip clubs plus other P4P areas in the evening. Although I really loved it for the price and location, I think the pricing has crept up in place and is close to Casacol pricing ($50).
As you guys may know Casacol has apartments all over MDE including Moderetto in Laureles. I did check it out last time but did not stay there. Any reviews on Casacol places? Can anyone compare San peter with Moderatto building. Also I have read here that Laureles hotels are not P4P friendly.
Any updated information on the Laureles area by seniors would be appreciated.

Posts: 650Asking the Question
I've been working on my Spanish for the last few years (slowly) and I'm far from being an expert or anything close.
I've noticed that certain idiomatic phrases in English just don't work in Spanish. Just a few obvious examples: We "take" a shower, they "shower themselves". We "spend" time, they "pass" time.
So, here is the point of my rambling. If I want to inquire about "going down" or "eating pussy" I have a suspicion that these idiomatic expressions won't make any sense in Spanish if translated literally.
I've used this phrase: Podria besarte entre sus piernas? (Could I kiss you between your legs). It generally works as far as understanding goes.
So, I'm curious if any of my amigos here with more polished Spanish know the correct way to phrase the question without being too crude.
Many thanks!

There will be other guests who either speak Spanish, or have learned, after repeat visits, enough Spanish to get by with what they want to do. Even the girls who hang out there are more likely to be familiar with Google Translate.
If someone speaks no Spanish and stays somewhere else, they will experience more difficulty. There will be frustration and confusion. There's a greater chance they will be victim to some scam. It's unlikely they will enjoy the trip as much as they would if they spent a few hours a day picking up basic Spanish. However, it may not matter to them. They might be happy enough with their trip without Spanish.
Through the forum you can learn several ways to get laid in Medellin. If you know where the casas and strip clubs are, and you have Google Translate, you can get by. You can even limit your restaurants to US franchises and be able to figure out how to order crap by pointing at the menu. If getting laid, cheaply, by young, attractive women is all that matters, Spanish isn't necessary.
However, the more Spanish you know, the more you will get out of your visit. This is especially true if you are doing more than just going to casas and strip clubs every day. Anywhere you go in Medellin you'll find people willing to talk to you. I found it difficult to avoid people who wanted to talk to me. If you get on an elevator and someone else is on, they'll greet you. When they get out, they'll tell you "hasta luego" or "esta bien" (until later / see you later, or be well). Waiters will ask how your food was. Taxi drivers will ask where you're from. Practically every week someone would stop and ask me for directions. Paisas are friendly and they love to talk. If you can talk with them, a whole new world opens up.
When you can handle the basics in Spanish, things get easier. You can acknowledge and reply to greetings, you can ask basic questions. I used to joke that I knew enough Spanish to buy a beer, find the bathroom and get slapped. Now I know more. With a bit of work you can learn the denominations, so you don't have to depend on a cashier to pull the correct amount of money out of the bills you hold out. You can learn to ask if a restaurant has an English menu. You can even learn how to order a hamburger that's not red in the middle.
More importantly, you can talk with the women. Just being able to give a few compliments, and to ask and answer a few questions will improve every encounter and it will open up new opportunities. That cute waitress around the corner from your hotel, the one who always smiles at you, she might be happy to go on a regular date with you. Or she might be happy to come to your room after work for a reasonable fee. Or she might have a friend. The maid who cleans your room might have a daughter, who would be happy to visit. There are thousands of options.
Those doors are out there, just waiting to be opened, but you have to speak the language.
