Beach babes look good. Did you taste the Colombiana in the pink bikini?

Claudia and Tatiana are two paisas that live in the apartment beside the Mirador del Laguito can't remember its name accross the street from Playa Mar, I guess they live there with their aunt and come and go from Medellin. I'd remembered guys here talking about them. Anyway, I have a girl that comes up to my apartment every morning and gives me an hour massage her names isabella I pay her 45K. No sex. She's not that hot anyway. I have her contact info if your interested, however, a massage on a bed is kinda lame you need a massage table, theres an esthetics place right in front of the alley to the playa hollywood that's where I'm going next time. Because every girl I've ever had massage me is never on time, I hate waiting for colombians, that's why one morning I was pissed at isabella for making me wait and got to thinking why not find that girl Tatiana and get her to massage me, she supposedly lives near by, so I went downstairs and waved over one of those guys that hang-out in front of the building (he ususally carries up my groceries) I said do you know Tatiana? He said Claudia? I said sure tell her to come up to my apartment. Well Isabella finally showed up I'm getting a massage and he brings up Claudia. I get her to wait while Isabella finishes my massage. She's very pretty very nice body flat stomach round bottom but not fat. Once Isabella leaves we discuss price and I offer 200k by her reaction she probably goes for a lot less, I don't see why, she's way better looking than I expected. I lie down she strips and then gives me an amazing porn style BBBJ, that's where they try and look at you while they do it, I was about to get her to stop so I could do her when she started the prostate massage, I never got a chance for anything else I cim. I highly recommend giving her a try, I saw Tatiana later that morning (on the street) but she's not as hot in my opnion.

Remember we're all in this together.

Thanks. Will check it out.

Blanco Infinito looks spectacular. Assume it is chica friendly?

Yes it is.

My favorite place to stay, if I have one guy to travel with is the penhouse in the playa mar building. Juan rents it out so its on his site. It is a great party place with jaquizzi, nice showers, its killer the girls love it. I have stayed there many times with my buddy. Great place. But not cheap at all, unless you compared it to US prices. It actually has 3 bedroom 3. 5 baths, but the third bedroom is not for me. We always stick a newbee in there if we have a third wheel. But I wouldn't want to stay in that third bedroom. I always take the bedroom to the immediate right of the elevator door wants you enter the room, then the 2nd door is the other nice room. The 3rd room is up the spiral steps.

I have the reverse question! Which are the really classy apartments in the area? Torres Del Lago appears to be the newest building but not all apartments are well furnished. It will be very helpful to know what can serve as the best party pad. Classy, well furnished and close to Laguito.

Damn straight!

BTW, a few days ago, I booked an apartment in Laguito for February through Juan. He was very easy to get a hold of and very professional.

I have a deal with a lady in the Caribe Real in a one bedroom that faces the street and I pay her 100k a night. And an issue that I don't think people consider is theft. In all my years of staying at the Caribe Real I've never had anyone steal anything form my apartment when I wasn't there. In the laguito at these hooker friendly apartments the porteros are very vigilant to protect your stuff because you're their bread and butter. I know of a guy who stayed in an apartment in crespo and he couldn't leave anything there he was sure it was the portero himself climbing in and robbing him and another guy I know of who had a samilar experience in Manga. With the exception of the strata 5 apartments in CastilloGrande (Very un-hooker friendly) I don't know of any apartments that are as secure as the usual ones in Laguito.

Outside of the Laguito hooker friendly apartments your only other cheaper option is a cheap hotel with good security, but then you have a hassle with the chica-fee.

For Cartagena, A laguito apartment, proximity (no taxi) to the LDV 70$ a night for a one bedroom is a very cheap price.

The 35 dollar hotels are near the small Olympica inBocagrande. I just stopped at a few, some are even cheaper. Look at the Cartagena map for location.

Another note, get a reliable wingman and get a 2 bedroom apartment cuts your costs also.

This is my 4th time to Cartagena this year and I want to know does anyone know of anyone that has apartments in Cartagena cheaper than Juan Ventura and Mery Salence? I love the quality and the amenities, but damn, $70-$80 a night is getting kinda steep, especially if I am staying for 2 weeks. I don't necessarily have to be in a tourist area, but internet and chica-friendly is definitely in my list of must-haves. Not downing these two people, just don't really feel their prices, especially in the low season. Any info on this with pics or a link will be greatly appreciated.

I just thought of something that may help you. I remember on one trip I needed an apt. for one night only and for some reason I asked the ladies at the internet cafe punto. Com and they told me they just bought one and are renting it. This was a few years ago.

I forget the name of the building but it's the one with the stairs outside. 2 doors down from the Colombo building where the Penguin Laundry used to be below. I rented it once and it was significantly cheaper and decent enough.

But. I had an issue with the air (older wall unit) not working properly and it was scorching. Otherwise this apt. Would have been just fine. Small but fine. It had a kitchen, living room and a separate bedroom.

So, if your in CTG maybe stop by punto. Com and ask the ladies if they still have it. It's worth a look if you are looking to save a few bucks. Just make sure the air is working before you agree. I believe you could really bargain the price down a bit from what they first quote you too.

I agree with the other guyss on this site saying it would be nice if you gave a little feedback from your trips! There has to be something you can contribute from your 3 prior trips. But fuck it I'm not going to dwell on that.

I have been traveling to CTG for about 3 years and go about 4 to 6 times a year but I only usually stay Thursday thru Monday. So paying Juans prices is fine for me. Have you asked Juan if he could give you a better price if you stay for 2 weeks? I would definitely at least try. I know a guy that use to rent in the Playa Mar building by the month and was paying 45per night, but rented for the month. I unfortuanately do not no who he rented from. Also remember it is nice having Juan there for you, one night I had a huge problem (which I now believe was my own doing) involving girls, police, and illegal shit and it took me getting Juan out of bed at 3am in morning and spending approximately 3 hours with me and police in apartment and also at police station and he got me out of everything with no money greasing anyones palms. Not saying that would ever happen to you but its nice to have a guy that will go to bat for you. I will never rent from any one but Juan, just for what he did for me. Not to mention I am always very happy with his apts and his maid service. No problem with stealing and other bullshit.

Good luck, just wanted to give you my thoughts!

I agree 100% on this. Besides what is he going to get for less, a shithole. If you go to Cartagena it is going to cost a few bucks to get somewhere that is habitable. On top of that the service from the girls will suffer because as soon as they see you are staying in a rats nest they are going to be like slam bam thank you goodbye, not my idea of a good time. The difference between a nice place and a shitty place is about twenty bucks a night, which is about 300 bucks over two weeks, not exactly a big deal but we all roll differently I guess.
