Posts: 16I don't know what their official guest policy is, since I never asked them. But I think no Hotel in the world can forbid you to bring someone to your room. Staying overnight is of course another story. I never had a girl overnight, don't like that. But I doubt that anyone would ever notice at the Hampton (as long as it is like it is now with nobody at the elevators).
In my booking breakfast is included.

Posts: 16I don't get this Tony thing in general. Why ever deal with him? I mean it is not that nobody else rents chairs there and the beer I can get myself if needed (with the added advantage that I can get closer to the real price). I find the people at other spots on the beach much nicer and as I wrote, Tony was not especially helpful with chicas either.

Posts: 4Real Hollywood Beach Prices
Gents,

• Don't ask me why delivery is included in some drinks and is extra for others – this is Colombia and things often don't make sense to gringos.

Posts: 16I don't see any security issues. Nobody who is not living at your floor can get to it. And when a chica runs wild, throw her out of the room. The only way she can go is to the exit or to the lobby. The best security for me is good people judgement and a proper "job interview" to figure out if a girl is honest and nice or a crook. Of course you can never tell for sure, but during the years I build up quite a decent sense for that. If a problem arises, I think the guys in front of the apartment buildings would not do any other thing either than call the police. They are pretty useless in my view.

Think that in my previous favourite hotel in San Diego (a small but cozy one) , last time I was told that that guests were not allowed UNLESS REGISTERED WITH ME UPON MY CHECK-IN. I tried to ask "my novia is coming probably tomorrow or the day after." and their inflexible reply was "ok give me her cedula details now".

One for 100, 000 but more like 150, 000 to 200, 000 and make sure they understand you are talking pesos. The other place to find girls is along the road from the beach to the hilton.
I have been approached by very hot young girls there. There is also a guy standing up front of the apartment building I was staying that could call girls for you.
I have a email address of a very hot chica in the mid 20s I meet this way. If you are interested I could send you the email and a picture.

Posts: 16Guys,
These guest policies of some hotels are ridiciulous. I would never accept that, look for an appartment instead, or, if you don't like that I recommend you to stay in the new Hampton by Hilton Hotel. I am there right now and it is fantastic. It only recently opened and everything is totally new, paint just dry. But the best thing is, they don't have a Lobby when you enter, the lobby is on the 17st floor so you can bring somebody to your room without anyone taking notice. To me this is even better than an apartment where you always have 2 to 3 people watching you when you enter the building. I don't like that and that is why I moved here. The only risk is of course how long they will do it like that. With all the scammers and con artists in Cartagena they might soon move a security guy in front of the elevators to prevent people from opening a food stall or a CD vending table in the entrance. But for now it is fine, I can really recommend it.

I was at Sheraton Medellin, and I had to pay a significant extra (60k) every night I had a friend with me, and she registered with me at the reception. The night the girl just showed up alone at the reception (she came from the club by bike, I came by taxi 15 mins before) , the tax was increased to 100k, because the policy of the hotel hinders occasional guests.
