Aruba

[Remy6679]

Hi all,

I'm visiting ARUBA in a few weeks and would like some information about what is happening. I've been away from the hobby for a look time. In fact its wasn't called a hobby when I was involved. I'm familiar with the Columbian women I spent several years in Colon Panama back in the 60's and 70's while I was in the service. Well to my question I was in Aruba last year and went to San Nicolas but it seemed a little too seedy for me . I went there by car one day but it seemed like I was the only person looking, I was afraid to park the car so I didn't stop. Is the place safe ?? how about the Car ?? It took almost 45 minutes each way back and forth to Palm Beach. I probably can only get away for 2 hours is there any safe action in downtown.. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Went to San Nicholas last week. Took the bus from Oranjestad for $2 round trip. Met someone on the bus there for the same reason. It was during the daytime. Walked the 2 main streets going East to West. On the 2nd block you can find ladies sitting in the hallway of their buildings. Met a girl named Natalie. Cute girl with big naturals. She is from Barranquilla but works in Cali. She was in Aruba 15 days of her 3 months. She will go back to Columbia and then on to Curacao for 3 months. Negotiated $0.5. She gave a quick BBBJ and tried to negotiate twenty more for the finish in her mouth. Went for the cowgirl finish. Nice girl, works in Bar Anca starting 7:30 which is on the first side street after getting dropped off by the bus. My fellow travellor had met another busty Columbia in the door before Natalie. He also recommended a girl named Monica who was sitting outside on a bench and looked pretty cute.

Hey, thanks Alan. That is good to know. Pricy bj for SW's, but if its good I'll take it. Looks like there is plenty there to keep me happy, so its Aruba for me next trip to Lesser Antilles.

Mister Ed,

You don't need to travel as far as San Nicolas. In the heart of Oranjestad you see girls walking the streets looking for gold.

Would set you back about $75 for bbbjcim. A little more for anal from one of the Venezuelan chicas coasting the scene. They usually have their little apartments in town.

Happy fucking.

Alan

Still,

Very helpful report. I have been going to Curacao diving because I knew what to expect at Mirage, but always wanted to hit Aruba. The BBBJCIMTC are indeed magic words that get any man's attention who still has a heartbeat! These babes should know that about 5 seconds before they take the load they could renegotiate for triple the price and 100% of the time we would say yes : )

Based upon your report, I am headed for Aruba instead of Curacao in Sept. The island state owes you.

When I get back, I'll post.

Thanks,

Ed

This is my first report ever, and I would like to say what a great forum! The couple months I lurked around this forum have been really helpful for finding information. I would like to contribute a bit of my own now.

Last month I was able to visit Aruba (on business!) for the first time. These Aruba reports were what I used to learn what to expect and how to find my way around. I have found them to be exceptionally accurate. My San Nicholas experience follows:

In a week, I was able to visit San Nicholas 3 times. Each time was different, and all were very nice. The first time there, I arrived before the bars opened to find girls walking around outside. I walked a bit, looking, until one Columbian hottie (Name sounded like Ochoa, but I’m not really sure) finally grabbed my attention outside the Papa Ciga bar (actually she grabbed my shirt and pulled me in!). She spoke no English, and I speak very little Spanish, but we were able to negotiate terms well. She asked for .4$ USD for ½ hour, and we finally settled on .5$ for one full hour. She was terrific! The best GFE I have ever seen in my rather limited p4p experience. I would rate her a 6.5 for her face, an 8 for her body, and easily a 10 for her enthusiasm. In between sessions, she honestly tried to have a conversation with me, even though language was difficult. She helped me back to life after a few minutes, and I never felt rushed at all. We tried everything, DFK, BJ, FS in many positions (no anal, but I’m sure it was available if I asked), but she insisted on me being covered throughout. I liked her so much, I came back a couple evenings later. Same experience, but I paid less for her ($35 USD), and had to pay a bar fine ($13 USD including 2 drinks) to leave with her.

On my last visit, I decided to try something different. I walked all around the neighborhood and checked out all the bars. The girls can be very friendly outside, but very demanding once inside the door. Most were in the 5-7 range, but I did notice a couple 8s, and even a few 3s (!). I picked a bottle-blond named Isabella. She spoke some English. What convinced me was 1 sentence she spoke: “You finish in my mouth – no condom.” So off we went to the world of BBBJTCIM. We negotiated 50 AFL (about $28 USD), paid a very cheap bar fine (13 AFL including 2 drinks – about $7 USD). I would rate her face a 6, her body a 7, and her enthusiasm a 7. Not a GFE but definitely knew what she was doing.

Final tally: 2 girls, 3 sessions, 2.5 hours, just over $160 USD including bar fines, tips and a couple drinks.

Some tips I found helpful:

Rent a car. The area looks safe, but there are a couple sketchy characters wandering around the streets. I wouldn’t want to have to rely on a bus.

Pay in Florins. I received much better deals.

Go during the day if you can. There is no bar fine, and the girls are free to spend as much time with you as they’d like.

Don’t feel like you have to stay in any one bar. Shop around.
All the girls speak Spanish. Not many speak any English. Every bartender I met could translate though.

I hope this helps all of you as much as your reports have helped me.

With luck I’ll be writing many more of these in time to come.

I have been all over the Caribbean, but never to Aruba or St. Martin. Can someone who has been to both render an opinion as to which would be better? Best Girls, Most fun?
I'll be going for two weeks. The first week I will be taking my dad, the second week I will be on my own and looking for fun with soft, warm, willing women.

I have also thought I could do the second week somewhere else.

I could do St. Martin for a week then Aruba for the second, but since I have not been to either I don't which way to go.

Has anyone been to Margarita Island lately? I went down there about 8 years ago and it was great, but things can change in 8 years!

I was in Aruba for a long weekend a few weeks ago, here’s a report.

Aruba background:

Aruba was a Dutch island, and although now independent it is still organized with The Netherlands (Dutch protectorate?). While there is a lot of Dutch being spoken, I’d say there is just as much Spanish due to the large number of Colombian and Venezuelan immigrants, and of course some local language created, too. The island is only 17 miles off the Venezuelan coast.

The official currency is the Aruba guilder (AWG), which is fixed (nonfloating) at 1.75AWG per USD. Still, USD is accepted everywhere, with no exception. Places even make change in USD (except coins), in fact no one ever even tried to make change with AWGs.

A basic map of the island can be seen here, at the Hyatt Aruba site:

http://aruba.hyatt.com/property/areaguide/maps/index.jhtml

I spent about equal time doing P4P and normal girl scenes.

Pay for play:

As reported, the pay scene is located in San Nicolas at the southern end of the island. The scene is centered on the main street of downtown. Coming from the North (e.g. hotels section, Oranjastad), the main street is found by taking a right (East) about a block past the police station, at the corner with the Valero gas station. There is a small sign noting the main street turn off – but I never saw it on my first two visits which were at night. After the right turn, follow the road until you see an obvious left turn – maybe it’s the third left?

The main street is a one lane one-way, five or six blocks long. The action consists of about 20 bars, most on the main street, the rest on the immediate blocks of the intersecting side streets in either direction. Each has four Colombian girls working, except maybe Prescotts bar which has more (eight?). The girls have small one room apartments on site, and this is where you go with the girl. In addition to the main street, there are parallel streets with one to the east (towards the ocean), and two or three to the west. While these streets don’t have the bar scene, there are a number of the girls apartment doors opening to the street. The girls work directly from their apartments (the doorways from the street) during non-bar hours (daytime). The bars are open from 5p until 3a (or maybe 4a or 5a?). During the bar hours the girls hand their room keys to the bartender, and they are logged when they take them back with each session. Thus, the house recovers its take from the girls the next day.

Girls come from Colombia on three month work visas. I didn’t meet any girls that had a different situation.

I visited San Nicolas on two nights and once during the day. My first night I visited every bar I could find, which was easy as they are all there in the 5-6 block and adjoining streets area. I was not at all impressed by the quality of the girls. I’m pretty picky - I basically visited each bar, checking out what must have been 80-90% of the girls in town, and didn’t see one I was excited about. There at the end, I met a girl that I'd say was a six. A couple of days later I found what I thought was the best girl I met, I'd call her a seven.

As for pricing, I was consistently quoted 70AWG, and a few times the opening started at 100AWG (yes, they were quoting me in AWG but readily accepted USD). Sessions are 30 minutes. I inquired about going back to my hotel, but that was not going to happen as a girl would want a lot more money than I wanted to spend, the bar fine would be pretty steep I imagined, and the girls didn’t rate high enough where I’d be happy at repeated go arounds. In addition, I didn’t inquire about one-hour prices. 70AWG is about $40. Both nights I countered with $30 and it was accepted right away. One of the two didn’t allow photos, only one would do BBBJ. I believe you must purchase two chica drinks to session – this was my experience with Jennifer from Prescotts – each was $5 or $7.

In my day visit, on the way home from nearby Baby Beach, I found a pretty girl with not the greatest body, and I countered with $20 plus $5 tip for only a BBBJCIM. Sorry, I forgot my camera in the hotel that day.

I found San Nicolas (like the rest of the island) incredibly safe compared to what I might otherwise suspect. Even where it seems seedy, I don’t think it’s a problem. At day and night I would see tourists waking the street and meeting girls. There seems to be very little crime there.

Nonpro options:

All of the major nightlife is in the capital city of Oranjastad, which is about 10-15 minutes down the road from the hotel district. I rented a car, so I can’t provide info on taxi costs or availability. Once there, everything is within walking distance.

Carlos and Charlie’s is the main place I’d say. It’s very young. Next door is Bahia, which is not as busy except on Saturday night, where it was packed. Bahia has the full Direct TV package, too. About 1.5 blocks away is Mambo Jambo, which I was told would have many Colombian nonpros, but I never saw any attractive girls there in my four nights of visiting. Tantra is supposed to be the late night spot (after midnight, maybe starting as late a 2a) on the weekends, but it was closed for remodeling or licensing problems so I didn’t get to find out. The only notable place in the hotel district is Moomba’s (Moomba Beach?) which is between the Marriott and the Holiday Inn, and is really only highly popular for the Sunday night sunset time (and maybe Saturday?).

I stayed at the Hyatt (part of the Faster Free Nights promotion), which is quite nice. The rooms aren’t spectacular, but the property actually is super nice in that Hyatt resort way – great pool area, nice beach, cool gardens and landscaping, etc. If you are on the Regency Club floor, or have access to the lounge, they have a terrific breakfast buffet (like smoked salmon every morning, good juice, eggs, breakfast meats) and for the evening snack they actually put out a mini-buffet. The food on two of the nights was good enough that I made it my main meal after returning from snorkeling trips at the beach - I found myself spending the rest of the night partying or doing San Nicolas.

From the area around the Hyatt (e.g. any hotel) San Nicolas is about 15-25 minutes (guessing) past Oranjastad, call it about 30-40 minutes in total.

Other items:

Gambling
Aruba has numerous casinos. Although I do like to gamble, my time was short enough, and with good weather by day and pro and nonpro options at night I never found the time. I did notice that blackjack seems to have the same odds as Vegas except for dealer must stand on soft 17 (or do I have that reversed?). And I can’t remember if dealer takes his down card before the round or after all players play their hands.

Beaches
Aruba has great beaches. The west side (hotel area) is leeward, and where all the busy spots are. The surfing would be on the east side, but with no busy spots I figured renting a board would be difficult so I didn’t visit there. Arashi beach in the north (less than 5 minutes past the Marriott, the last hotel) is very pretty, and a little up the road is the lighthouse and views to the east. But the snorkeling and coral was poor – I wouldn’t go again for that. Baby Beach on the southern tip, about 10 minutes past San Nicholas was my favorite. There are actually three different beaches here: Rogers is the most crowded on a weekend, there is a nice little snorkel beach next to a fenced in cemetery, and Baby beach has a nice tidal lagoon perfect for families. If you snorkel out of one of two rocky entrances of the lagoon, there is better than average coral with good fish life. I’d compare it to Key Largo or Abacos, but clearly nothing like Cayman (diving) or Hawaii. There are wrecks all over the coast, but I didn’t dive. I was told by friends that the diving is not good at all, not even worth bringing my gear (given that I have numerous dive options throughout the year). The beaches around the hotels are very pretty, with super soft sand and very calm water. The place to kitesurf is the beach adjacent and to the north of the Marriott.

Summary:

I can’t say I love Aruba. It’s a nice long weekend getaway I guess, and since it was cheap (AA runs frequent specials from NYC or Miami; I had a hotel deal) I can’t say I was in total disappointed. But the girls were not up to my liking, and even if they were I much prefer TLNs, morning sex, and next day follow up options vs. on-site and timed sessions. And there was next to no Latina nonpro action, which I often prefer to p4p on some trips.

I did go the week after Easter, meaning I picked the worst weekend of the year for meeting a nonpro Latinas (ie. Colombianas). I hear that Colombian vacationers pack the hotel and Oranjastad areas during the week of Semana Santa - so who knows maybe I’d do a revisit given a late-in-the-year Easter, free hotel promo, and cheap AA fare.

Had a couple of hours to kill after dropping off the SO to shop. Drove to San Nicolas. I hadn't a clue where the red light district was so I just drove around for a few minutes and it was obvious when I saw it. This was about 1:30 p.m. Parked the car and within a block was approached by a Latin girl. She said "f-ckee/ s-ckee. Her English wasn't good but it was better than my Spanish. We finally negotiated by showing fingers and she asked for $50. We went to her room where she started with a BBBJ. She covertly slid the condom on with her mouth. I asked her to remove it for more BBBJ and Russian. She was very accomodating and cute. About 23 years old from Columbia. Her name was Jenny. There were 3 girls together when Jenny approached me. If I had more time, a threesome would be nice for a total cost of $.

Raider,

Yes, the bar with license plates and other cool stuff is still there: Charlie's Bar and Restaurant. By the way, the food is not that great for what you pay. But it is worth of visiting.

Last weekend report:

Mostly people talk about San Nicolas. But you can also easily find local girls, who are very frienldy and willing to hang out with you. Many of them temporarily work in Aruba. On the first night I talked to a waitress from Venesuela in a restaurant. First she was surprized that I was alone, then she was asking me what I was doing that night, etc... and we decided to meet after she finishes her work. However I did not have a chance to meet her becasue I got stuck in San Nicolas with a hot colombian girl.

It looks like San Nicalas is not far - 16 miles, but you need to plan at least 40 min for one way. That's the reason I was late for that date with the Venesuelean girl. There is also very slow traffic in Oranjestad, so you may consider taking another road: From Hotel area to Santa Cruiz, and then to San Nicolas.

On Friday night in San Nicolas I went to the Chesterfields bar. There were 5 or 6 girls sitting at the bar. All of them looked very good. The best one I liked was sitting with a guy. I just sat at a table and got a drink. Girls at a bar were looking at me and tried to make an eye contact. However, this can be a good advice, I do not call a sitting girl before I see her walking. Often a good looking sitting girl looks quite different when she stands up.

After a while the girl I liked walked somewhere and came back. She looked awesome - light brown straight legs with no skirt. The problem was - the guy was just talking to her, and she was the only girl I really wanted.

After awhile the guy left. Then I called her, she came - she was a 23 y.o from Colombia. I'd rate her 9. She was perfect,maybe her boobs shouild be a little bit bigger. Soon we went to her room The standard price there is 70 Florins ($38). You also pay to the bar for girl drinks about 14 florins.

In the room, she was very affectionate, tried to kiss, and did a lot nice things to me. Her body was very beautiful, all the same light-brown color, very nice face and long hair. I asked about anal, first she quoted FL200, then we agreed on FL100. It was really great.

Another night I went to another bar, it is on the second floor. There was a 19 y.o also very hot colombian girl. She had a very comfortable apartment. She also looked almost perfect, and sex was good, but not as good as with the first girl. The price was standard: FL70, plus bar fee FL14. When we came back to the bar I saw even better looking girl, so I wanted to come back next day which did not happen for some reason.

The last advice for now, learn some spanish. Those girls do not speak any english.

This is a very old pic, nearly 9 years old that I pulled out of my collection to share with you'll .Its a pic of an old GF in Aruba (who also worked for an escort service ) who I met on numerous occasions during my visits there.Of course it is a scan of an original photo as we did not have the fancy digital cameras as we have today Hope you'll enjoy it !

[Raider]

I couldn't help myself but to put a post on this board out of sheer nostalgia from reading all your posts. I used to work for an Oil Co. and toured the Southern part of the Globe frequently in the early 90's and have an age old mongering history there. The reports on San Nicholas brought back some fond memories of times spent there. My reports may not do you any good as they are outdated and are just memories of some fun times spent there.

I remember the Bar there that had all the license plates from different countries on its walls, is it still there? Also most of the bars there always had working girls within and one could always get ST for 20-30 bucks [USD] in those days. Also there was a small bar/disco somewhere in between the streets there and my friends and I have picked up some awesome lookin gals from over there for ST and even overnight pleasures at our hotel back in Oranjstad.

Good luck to you all and I hope I will make it back there someday. I also have been several times to Curacao,Venezuela [El Palito, Puerto La Cruz,Amoy Bay etc.] Honduras, Guatemala, DR, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Jamaica and had equally good mongering experiences there.
IMHO I have travelled all over Europe,parts of Asia and South and Central America but beleive me when I say that the Southern part of the globe is definately the best place for Mongering !!!

Sex on Sunday

Yes, Aruba has what you want, even on a Sunday afternoon. Take the “small bus” from downtown Oranjestad for 2 florins ($1.12) to the end of the line in San Nicholas, about 25 minutes. Charlie’s Bar (closed Sundays) is about a two-minute walk. With your back to Charlie’s front door, walk 1 block north to Rembrandt Street, turn left and walk 1 1/2 blocks west, past FransHals Street. At 3:00 PM there were 4-5 girls standing around: 5-6-7s. All Spanish-speaking (“Mi amor!”). No bar fee (most are closed). Just make contact and go to the girl’s room.

Lucky for me, an 8 was just entering her place with her takeout lunch. She was a perky 21-year-old from Medellin Colombia with a killer smile. Her room was nice. After she showered we did our deed. Only 50 florins ($28). She never even counted or looked at the money. There was no rush afterwards. She was quite extroverted and as she ate her lunch we talked for about 1/2 hour (OK, I only understood about 60% of what she said, but it helps to repeat a word you do understand, to keep the conversation going!). She works at Minchi’s in the evenings. She consented to 3 photos, so I left 5 florins more. She showed me photos of her family. She even gave me her phone number in Colombia and her real name in case I ever was in Medellin after she returned in 1 1/2 months. And I’m not the youngest or best-looking guy around. What a sweetheart! Nicest person I have ever met in this business.

I walked around a bit afterwards, and there were other girls on other streets in the bar area. If you want a drink nearby, the Astoria Hotel (Crynssen Street 6) has a pleasant brick-tiled patio-bar with plants & taped music where the Dutch bartender mixed me 2 Margaritas ($11). For an upscale dinner, the Promenade (Zeppenvelt Street 15) is also open on Sunday, after 6 PM. I had Mahi-Mahi & white wine for a reasonable $20. The return small bus leaves across the street from the Hollywood Bar.

So if you’re sitting around in Aruba some Sunday and speak a little Spanish, go for it!

[Goga Fung]

I'll be in Aruba this weekend - Friday-Sunday. March 19-21. Please contact me if sombody else would like to check out St. Nicolas bars. I'll post the new report next week.

[Baloneyboy]

I'm going to Aruba next week with the SO and it will be difficult to drive to San Nicholas without explaining my time away. Any MP's, close to town and open during the day anyone can suggest for BJ or HJ. Also cost if you know. Thanks is advance.
