Sao Luis

[Sperto]

I'm going to be in Sao Luis for 10 days in late October. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap hotel friendly to hobbyists of our kind. Also, whats the hotel's attitudes towards bringing girls in general?
What's the best area to pick up girls in town? I've found a few promising leads in past postings, but was just wondering if anyone could provide me with some general up to date info.

All your questions are already answered in this thread. Actually on this page.

- Lord Hotel, cheap and very girl friendly.
- Pick up girls in Projeto Reviver.

Well, scroll down the page...

..., girl friendly but just about average standard on the rooms.

I have just upgraded my own standards from travelling with a tent (in Europe/Australia) to sleelping in any kind of hotel. So I am sure Lord Hotel would easily satisfy my basic needs - for all the other pleasures I'd try to find some girls to take care about :-))

After all your help I do hope I will actually contribute some news from Sao Luis in about one or two months. If not SL then at least something from Brazil!

But if I did, I wonder where to find these forro places you mentioned like Chopperia Beira Mar, Chopperia Kabão, and Forró do Arlindo.

Those places are very close to Projeto Reviver, walking distance. You might prefer to take a taxi the first time.

I recommend Lord Hotel. Great location, girl friendly but just about average standard on the rooms. The rooms faxing the square are nicest. You'll have a view over the SWs.

I appreciate your recommendation. Do you have any personal experience with this pousada in terms of how girl friendly they are?

No problems to bring back girls in Pousada dos Frances.

The best rooms are the ones with a view on Rio Anil.

That's what I call a fast response :-)

@ George:
Miami would be a bit of a detour, I am from good old Europe. But yet this actually might be an alternative.

@ Prosal:

Now I think I really should go for this trip!

Of course you should go !!

I have been there and it is good, and cheap

Any news about SL?

I'm just thinking about a trip to Sao Luis. Yesterday my travel agent could offer me some cheap flights to Rio, but only ridiculously expensive connections to the north-east. So I wonder if I should travel back all the way to Forta and then on to SL. Originally my plan was to go from Forta to Belem, to discover some new places. But now this would also include travelling to the north as well. Don't know if it's worth the hassle...

Thanks a lot

Visiting the Northeast of Brazil is worth the trip!

However, the itinerary your travel agent suggested is not good. Lately TAM has had flights from Miami to Manaus and a connection from Manaus to Fortaleza stopping in Santarem, Belem, Sao Luis and other smaller cities on the coast.

Check into that itinerary. It should be much less expensive than Miami Sao luis via Rio.

But what do you mean by meeting a girl in "projeto reviver"? Is this just to say "in centro"?

Projto Reviver is the colonial renovated neighborhood, a kind of Pelourhino, but nicer and without the touristic shit. There's some very good bars and often open-air concerts.

Centro is not far, behind the Praça Dom Pedro.

If you go to Sao Luis and look for accommodation, I strongly recommand the Pousada dos Frances, located just a bit north of Reviver, a nice and cheap place in a beautiful historical building.

Here's a pic of a sweetie from Sao Luis, met in Projeto Reviver. Not a stunner, but a hot and nice girl indeed.

I second mestre Sperto. The bars in Reviver and the forro spots on Ponta d'Area and Calhau beaches are definitely the places to go in Sao Luis to pick up freebies or semi-pros.

[Sperto]

Bar Sao Sebastiao and Puteiro do Oscar Frota is the same place. Next to Mercado Central. About 8 bars with GPs in one block.
Prices: from R$ 10/hour
Room: R$ 5
Girls: More than 50 girls working there.
Quality: Very bottom-low. I guess if you´re lucky you might find something nice. I made a hard try but couldn´t find anything that interested me.

Definitely better to take a SW in Reviver. Just stay around Bar Antigamente or on the Praça next to Catedral da Sé. Prices from R$ 30.

If you stay in Sao Luis on a Sunday don´t miss going to the forró! Start the evening at Chopperia Beira Mar. Then you go 100 meters to Chopperia Kabão. Here you will have to pay R$ 3 to enter, but this includes a 600 ml beer. Finally you go 300 meters on to Forró do Arlindo, R$ 2 to enter.

These places are crowded on Sundays with girls that will flirt their eyes out with you, hand out phonenumbers and just come up and kiss you. It´s very funny, because all women, no matter of how old they are, how goodlooking or f***ing ugly they are, even if they have boyfriends next to them, will do this. It´s a very easy way to get some p***y for free.

Hi !
I didnt saw a single tourist (exept from SouthAmericans) during my stay in SL.
That was a little bit exciting, the girls was not used with turists, not a single girl tried to cheat me on money, i dont think i was paying more then the locals . The girls seems to be very honest.
I lived north of the old city which i visited twice a day ,so i spent a lot of money on taxis. I recommend that you live in the old city, there is a Hotel-Lord Hotel right were the "action" is.
My hotel was about 6km north of the old city but the beach was not so good there, I didnt visit the other beaches because of the pretty long distance, i recommend that you rent a car if you are going to visit them frequently,
I never visited the "red light district" were the boates is. the location is not central.
There are lots of Pousadas and motel "amore" were you can take the girls, in front of the churce were the Streetwalkers stands (from 8 pm) there are two pousadas, 10 reais for a couple of houres+ 30 for the chica--not bad !!
