Cartagena Reports

[Gilgamesh]

Nice pics! I apologize for the drama to you and others.

I just don't appreciate people attacking young guys who aren't millionaires going to Cartagena trying to go on trips and having a good time.

I not a big enough smug prick to play Class warfare with people with less money or time than me, I leave that up to others.

Reminds me of the South Park episode about "SMUG" (LOL) My budget has me in Tijuana a few times a year, but I've always liked what I've seen in the Colombia gallery. Great photos HB and I've seen 'class warfare' in the Thai section. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman no matter how much or little is paid. I usually pay 50 in Tijuana, sometimes I forget that it's P4P and sometimes I'm quite aware that I'm "NEXT" (LOL)

It's always nice to see others standing up for another. .

I was about to book a flight to Bogota for next weekend and came across a posting that Semana Santa starts on the 18 of April and that the city would be dead. Glad I didn't book.

What about Cartagena during this week? In terms of freebies and prepagas and P4P and everything else.

Looking to book the flight soon so early response is greatly appreciated.

Navidades (Christmas) and Semana Santa are the main domestic holiday seasons in Colombia. Semana Santa probably more than Christmas. Colombians who can afford it will go to the sea-side or other nice destinations. Cartagena should be full of domestic tourists. Pros as well as semi-pros will be attracted in order to make business. Make sure that you have a hotel / apartment reservation. I think Cartagena is a perfect destination, much better than Bogota. Although I avoid this season (temporada alta) because prices for accomodation are much higher than throughout the rest of the year. Good luck.

Good job! Hopefully the personal messages will go your way now, which is great for me! Might want to add a place like Cafe del Mar.

World Travelers Lists are the ones everyone copies. It is Just time to put info on a Google Map with all the info, websites and prices. I may expand it to Medellin, Cali and the DR if I feel ambitious.

It would be good spot for you to put on your North Coast stuff Urbanwildlife.

Very nice Hillbilly, well done.

I added some things it is a project to keep me occupied more to come.

Add whatever you guys feel the need for, atm's, apartments, dentist office, Casa.

Very nice Hillbilly, well done.

I started a map on google. It has some points of interests. Add what casa or any other point of interest you feel the need for. Queens is a guess on location I can walk there but overhead view I can't quite figure it out. LOL I may add more this weekend.

Just learned that my cruise ship will only be in port from 7 am. 2 pm. WTF? What's my best option for going to a place in the morning? Thanks Again.

BTW, my buddy owns a liquor store in Sosua, DR if someone needs to get hooked up there. Although a blind man would have a difficult time avoiding the girls in that place!

[Hillbilly69]

Forgot, the most I would pay a ISIS girl by day is about 150k pesos for an hour. Beach girls are your cheapest option at 50k-100k but don't use a tout [ an inbetween guy] unless you want to get lubed and pay double.

[Hillbilly69]

Isis is owned by same guy that owns Pleyclub. You should just get their phone number at night then call them during the day. The girls have to be back at the house they live in by 6pm.

Hey everyone, I got into Cartagena last night, scoped out Isis, which looked great, beer was 10, 000 pesos and there were about 15 girls just sitting around, a lot good looking ones. I asked the server there and he said services started at 250k, and 500k for the whole night. Does anyone visit this bar, if so how low can you usually bargain with these girls? I ended up going to LDV and talked a girl down to 125k and had a GFE in my apartment.

The girls in Isis are way to expensive since you have to pay a barfine if you take them out. Also be careful there of the waiters. They sometimes pad your bill, or try to get you to pay for lady drinks you did not order. If you must go to Isis then try to get their phone numbers. BTW they are very beautiful I must agree with that.

Hello, gentlemen,

I am in Cartagena now, in Hotel Dann,

And would like to ask for some help.

I think that LDV is close to this hotel?

Does LDV open on Sunday night?

Anybody qwould like to meet tonight at LDV or other venue?

Greetings and thanks in advance for your advice

LDV is in Pierino Gallo Shopping Center, nearby to Hotel Dann and is always open, not closed on Sunday

[Bolman]

After searching for a while in the forum,

I finally found out that LDV is just across the street from my hotel.

Unfortunately when asked in the reception I was told that visitors are forbidenn in the rooms.

And since I have to go to a meeting early, decided to just check out things from the balcony of my hotel room before going to bed.

I saw that before 11 pm there were almost no girls arriving, but around 11 they arrived from both entrances to the Centro Comercial. I saw some nice girls arriving, although from my point of view I could not really tell for sure.

Around 11:30 (Around the time I am writting this report) , almost only fellows arrived to the place, almost no "new girls" arrived.

So I guess arriving at around 11 is a good time since most of the pretty ones are probably not already "taken".

I also noticed that several times some fellows went out for smoking. I do not know if that is compulsory by LDV rules or local regulations? Or it wast too hot inside and guys wanted to go out to smoke?

In any case if it is forbidenn to smoke inside it is good for non-smokers.

I saw around 30 girls in total coming and leaving the place, and I would guess the ratio of girls to guys is around 1. 5:1.

Of course it seems that a Sunday night is a bit slow, I would guess on Friday and Saturday the place is more crowded. Several taxis available in the area, so transportation doesn't seem an issue.

I will try to go tomorrow at least to have some beers and check the enviroment.

I will check again with the hotel for permission to have visitors. Since the company, I work for, made the reservation I could not look for a GF hotel.

Hope I can move to another place soon.

Location of this hotel is sooo convenient for visiting LDV, too bad the non-visitors in the room rule.

Perhaps there is a Love motel around the area, will tray to find out.

Would like to meet with some fellows in the coming days if anynone is up for some beers.

Hope the info is somehow useful.
