Is Bar Idem still open In SJ?

It was closed and looked like it was gone. But I heard rumors it may be back, but really not sure.

Can confirm which is why on weekends I stay away from Centro. Every plane trip down it's either the hood travel bros or hood surgery sisters and they are loud. You can clearly hear their entire conversation from 10 feet.

Also never go on a holiday weekend where the clowns can get an extra day off work to do more clown shit like in the video below. They won't dare do clown stuff like that in Medellin.

Exactly, they must be starved for attention or something.

Go to Medellin, the people who travel to Sosua are obnoxious as hell. Especially the 1's that fly in on jet blue from New York for the weekend.

Passport came today, it's in my hand. I put in my request for time off, hope it'll be approved by the end of this week. Then I'll be looking at booking flights and making reservations.

I'm going the last week of June, Friday the 24th I believe until Sunday July 1st.

I'm still not 100 on DR or Colombia but I was looking at plane tickets today and they were almost exactly the same, about $800 round trip. If that's the case I will for sure be going to Medellin over Sosua as the women of Colombia seem to be much more attractive than DR, in my eyes at least.

Ya, idk. It's happening. I'll be in Poblado and Parque Lleras 90% of the time. Def interested in at least a couple tours around, otherwise I'll end up spending literally all my time in a room fucking.

As far as I know it's mostly the Hotel Cocal now. There were a couple dance clubs on the outskirts with part-time girls, but I think Covid killed those off.

It's been a decade or two since my last trip to Jaco, is the Beetle bar still open? Although CR is in the thick part of their rainy season, the beach is always an added plus to trips. The few times I looked at reports on Costa Rica It seemed they were having some strict protocols during the pandemic and was slow coming back. Check newest trip reports.

$800 round trip!? Holy shit!

That ticket price is twice as much as it is normally. Usually it's about $200 max to fly out and about $300 max to fly back in unless your flying out of nowhere in the middle of America

That's about what it was when I checked a month ago, I guess it's more expensive in the summer? Flying out of bwi.

Good fucking luck if you do have to make a transfer in Miami. I've had enough horror stories connecting at that airport to avoid transferring at it at all costs. Straight flight or I'm not going anywhere.

Assuming I go to Medellin, I will be at Hotel M for sure. I am curious if I'll be able to invite other girls that aren't working the hotel in, like for instance if I find girls from a website which BTW I would love to know some reputable sites if you guys have any suggestions.

Yes. You can bring outside girls in as long as they have their cedula. The only exception would be girls who have been banned from Hotel M.

In addition to the Del Rey, I'd consider Panama City. Hit up Don Julios and some of the other clubs, couple massage / spas. There should be a map in that area of the board, just need to verify what's still open from posts. I usually stay at the Hyatt (like 1. 5 blocks from Don Julios) and one girl per day was fine with no upcharge as long as you book for 2. Now the cost is higher in Panama, typically $100-$150 for ST, and almost always covered, but quality very high. You can use USD, and girls have some knowledge of English. Also guys there to help you out. As you get more comfortable there you can try other spots.

If you do go to Costa Rica then I would check on the latest for the Del Rey. I haven't been to that area in 6 years, but I did understand that much of it has shut down. In addition to the Del Rey you can also spend a few days in Jaco and hit up the Hotel Cocal. It's generally packed as well with girls from all over latin america. I haven't been in some time, but another more tame environment and similar price range. Plus you have the beach and plenty of outdoor activities. The only downside is that Hotel Cocal is overpriced and many other hotels in the area are as well. You can easily spend $120-$150/ nt for a hotel.

Good luck with all and be safe!

If so and the Del Rey is still open I would say try CR first. I haven't been following your posts but I am assuming your just getting into the hobby. Go to the Del Rey and get your feet wet. CR is like Monger college LOL see. Are. Is good for a newbee because you can hit the ground running. Colombia, Peru and and Brasil for sure, may be roo much for a first time, depending on the city. BUT it sounds like you have been doing your homework and you have gotten lots of good advice. So make your decision, have fun and be safe.

If you're staying at Hotel M, you can dismiss most of your worries. Don't leave your valuables out and that's about it. The girls there are aware that they need to behave.

Assuming I go to Medellin, I will be at Hotel M for sure. I am curious if I'll be able to invite other girls that aren't working the hotel in, like for instance if I find girls from a website which BTW I would love to know some reputable sites if you guys have any suggestions.

We'll, I've been checking my passport status every day basically since I initially handed in the application and made my first post. Since then I've been researching, getting in shape, and trying to plan a trip.

Initially I was all in on Colombia, though after research I must admit I've definitely been mulling over other options, though I'm still leaning pretty heavily towards Medellin (considering Costa Rica, Brazil, and Dominican Republic).

At first I planned for the first week of July. Now it seems I'll be able to go in as early as 4-5 weeks.

So idk, I guess it's going to happen a bit earlier than I anticipated. Prolly still lookin at hotel m. 9 ish day trip.

I guess hit me with any last minute preparations, need to knows, or anything else.

So far basically what I've gathered:

Use Uber over taxis.

Don't wave money around.

Don't wear jewelry.

Buy a cheap burner phone for public use / don't use phone in public.

Don't go far at night.

Don't go to clubs alone.

Be aware of your surroundings.

Keep your valuables locked in the safe.

Only carry what you can afford to lose.

Don't let anyone give you a drink / touch your drink / accept an already open drink.

Tip security and tell them not to let a girl leave unless she's escorted by you.

That's basically my general safety list. Def want to have a good time but also be careful. As my trip looks like it's getting moved ahead quite a bit for sure would like to get all bases covered ASAP.

As always appreciate the insight you guys have offered.

Special shout out to jbee. You might not have said much but it actually motivated the fuck out of me. I'm nervous but ready.
