@ Mr En - No worries man, you just seemed annoyed. You just didn't understand what I was asking, it's cool. Thanks for your response.

I did the same thing last year, while I was living in Poblado. Booked 2 nights at M2 in order to check it out. I was there Friday and Saturday nights, although I didn't stay in the room Saturday night, only returning Sunday to get my stuff and check out. Here's my impression.

The room I had was 212, which had no bathroom. I had to use the bathroom at the pool, which was closed for renovations. The room was cheaper than the other rooms, but more expensive than Hotel Porton Medellin, where I had stayed a few weeks earlier. The Mansion room, if it had a bathroom would have been a 2 star room, while Hotel Porton Medellin was 4 stars. The furniture looked like it spent 20 years in a frat house, before being moved to M2. At least the room was clean and quiet. I understand that they have remodeled that room since then. It may be better now.

La Cueva wasn't what I expected. It's a man cave attached to a garage. Literally. Except someone ran out of money building their man cave and furnished it with Goodwill rejects. If it was at a friend's house, it would be cool. At a place with Mansion prices, it's rather sad.

The girls weren't anything exceptional, in my opinion. I'm not extremely picky, so I took 2 different girls to my room. Neither was spectacular or especially memorable. The only jaw dropping beauty I saw there was a Facebook girl someone else had called in.

The like minded guys were there, but none of them impressed me. As others have said, it's a frat house atmosphere. The guys were mostly loud, boastful and crude. Personally, I couldn't see myself going anywhere with that group. If I'd spent more time there, I probably could have met a few guys who weren't as abrasive. Maybe hanging out around the M1 pool would be a better scene.

Last thing to mention is the hill. It's 3 blocks up a steep hill to get from M1 to M2. If you're in shape and used to the altitude, it's a rough 3 blocks. Otherwise it's a heart attack waiting to happen. Because of a 1 way street, it's a 10 block taxi ride, which can take 15 minutes during rush hour.

The value of the place is you don't have to do any work. You call or email them, tell them where you learned about them, I gave them my username on ISG, pay for the room and that's it. No time spent looking at maps or establishing contacts, no time wasted learning a few words of Spanish and no questions about pharmacies and little blue pills. Any questions you have, someone at M1 will have an answer.

If you're willing to put in a bit if effort and you're not looking for some frat buddies, there's no reason to stay at M2. Find 4 or 5 Facebook girls, explore their friend lists, find a dozen more girls on Facebook. Keep adding friends and soon you'll have 100 girls who top anything you will find at the Mansion. Practice with Duolingo and search for the things that interest you each day and when you hit the ground you'll be off and running.

However, for some people, the Mansion is the perfect place. It's what some guys want or need. They go there, have a great time and repeat. It lets them sample a little bit of Colombia without really venturing into Colombia. The question you need to ask yourself is whether it's right for you.

Thanks to all who chimed in with advice about Medellin neighborhoods and Medellin in general. And Cali The advice has been invaluable and led me to start researching the available tools online. One of the most helpful tools I found about Medellin neighborhoods is: https://medellinliving.com/best-medellin-neighborhoods/.

Planning my third trip to MDE now. The past two times I've stayed at nice AirBnBs with pools, hot tubs, etc. I'm kind of a hotel snob and like good places.

I've never been to the Mansion and thought about it this trip, but the only thing available is M2 Room 210, which I gather given the prices is maybe the smallest / worst room.

I'm contemplating just getting this room for two nights just to have access to La Cueva and seeing what this mansion stuff is all about, but also getting another place. Is this crazy? Would it be worth it or no?

Of course it is worth it. But you really need to stay more than two days and make sure you stop by during the day to catch the pool action and not just La Cueva at night.

I have been mongering in Medellin for over five years now and I still stay at the Mansion from time to time.

When I stay at the Mansion I already have a line up of facebook chicks that I'm going to go out with. I like to stay at the Mansion just to meet up to 20 or so chicks a day that I didn't have to call and don't have to wait for and who I have no obligation to pay or have sex with. It is just a relaxing way to add prepagos to your line up.

I almost never take a Mansion chick on the spot because I have facebook chicks coming to see me day and night. The only way I take a Mansion chick on the same night I meet her is if I have chica cancel on me at the last minute or I see a Mansion chick that is so hot she blows my date away and then I cancel on her. Jajaja.

But that doesn't happen often.

The thing is most Mansion chicks are 6 or 7's with an occasional 8. But they are nice BBBJ and DFK no extra charge and the highest percentage of GFE of any venue in Medellin.

The chicks will go out partying with you if you like the club scene in Medellin. A lot of guys that stay at the Mansion take the time to make friends with the girls and take them out to dinner and a movie or short day trips around Medellin.

But if you are strictly looking for sex and not interested in socializing with women then there are better values than the Mansion.

I have a trip coming up next week and I'm looking through ads on Photoprepagos and Mileroticos and I'm seeing plenty of chicas under 150 k, even as low as 70 k per hour. No need to deal with the BS drama of FB / Mansion princesses and their 150 k or 200 k PLUS taxi prices.

Obviously, it's not for everybody. The ability to hold a basic conversation in Spanish is necessary. Also for a newbie, I wouldn't recommend it.

You can do a search on Airbnb with the map and it will show you the metro stations. I ONLY stay in the area near the stadium estadio and floresta stations. It is walking distance to Energy and Tantra massage places and there are quite a few Mileroticos chicas that have places near La 70 or in Laurles area. Try pulling up google maps side by side with the Airbnb maps then get your self familar with the major streets and locate the metro stops. I love taking the metro around SO cheap 75 cents if you get the civica green card, just have to show your passport. I use the metro to go to Poblado and walk up the hill, good exercise.

Yes, I was right next to the second park. I'm not familiar with the Floresta station. Is it near the Stadium station? Stadium Station was about 1 km from me.

Any advice on how best to look for either an apartment or hotel in the area? My concern is that I won't be able to tell from the address where the apartment or hotel is located.

[Combo]

Yes, I have.

My question wasn't so much about the quality of the girls at La Cueva, but rather about the value (as a newbie) of access to a location where there are like-minded people. Specifically, I was hoping to get a response for someone who has done the same thing as I contemplate doing: getting a very low-cost room just to hang out there.

But I thank you for your top-notch, snarky feedback.

Actually I think the value of the Mansion (and el Castillo up the hill) goes beyond the girls that may or may not be hanging around the place. The girls on-premise can be really good or really weak with no rhyme or reason. However I like that there is typically a camaraderie among the guests. To me this has value if you are visiting Medellin by yourself. It's nice to have like-minded people around. If the girls on site isn't happening, you have fellow guests to go out to Strip bars with or to hit the casas. Or just to going out to lunch or dinner with. It's generally a pretty sociable place, sort of a relaxed frat house atmosphere.

Of course, some guys don't give a crap about this and those guys are better off just getting an apartment (you'll get a nicer place for less money). There's certainly nothing magical about the girls that come to the Mansion. Most are the same old faces that have been coming for years - generally not the creme de la creme of Medellin.

Although I have never stayed at the mansion myself, I have had one very experienced monger tell me that the best way to approach Medellin is to go to the Mansion the first couple on days and connect with all the chicas there on Facebook and then you are set for the rest of your time. Otherwise you will have to rely on establishments and their madams, taxi drivers and the prepago sites. If you are not a fan of the central casas and strip clubs then you will end up paying more than having an extensive Facebook list. The taxi drivers and madams need their cut. Plus the Facebook chicas based on reporting tend to hang around longer at your apartment. My experienced friend pays between 150-200 k for home delivery. I pay between $200 k and 300 K for home delivery not having a Facebook list. Here is a conversation I had with a prepago from the websites on Whatsapp.

+57 321 4469718: Si amor.

+57 321 4469718: Me mandas LOS datos nombre del hotel numero de habitacióand why tu nombre.

+57 321 4469718: Te cuesta 300 la hora amor.

Me: Usualmente pago 250 por 90 minutos. Prefiero en la boca sin condóand.

+57 321 4469718: Ahh no amor no lo recibo en la boca.

Me: No oral natural?

[+57 321 4469718: Amor el oral sería natural 30 adicional why mi valor es ese no otro.

I declined this one. So getting a Facebook list has value.

When I stayed at the Castillo in the past, 210 was actually my room of choice because is was on the lower level next to the pool. It was private. Unfortunate, things changed a little bit when Robert put the taco kitchen in the room next door. And when the pool and backyard was being renovated. The kitchen is still there, but I would hope the renovations are finally done. All of that said, you do have peace and privacy at night.

I have done what you are suggesting. Have a room at Castillo and then my own apartment. And then I make a decision about where I will primarily stay. I usually didn't do it for the entire trip, but for a few days to get the numbers for new talent. If you are going to stay in the Castillo with plans to go to La Cueva, I recommend Thursday and Friday night. Any other day is a crap shoot. Thursdays and Fridays are usually pretty steady.

Well if you just happen to go when there are 5 guys and 2 girls, I would say there would not be much value in that. Or if you spend $70 for a room plus another $70 for a chick then I would say there is definitely no value in that; not when you consider Medellin is crawling with way cheaper chicks and way cheaper places to stay. There are like-minded people at every hooker joint in Medellin. Don't know many mongers that are going to Medellin for the guys though.

I wasn't trying to be a dick. It is just that 2 people in the last couple of weeks posted that there was nothing special about the place. Didn't know if you had seen the reports or not, so I called myself being nice enough to waste my time putting their statements into a neat package for you. But I see that went over like a pregnant pole vaulter.

P. S. If you had really read it then you would have known that IslandMonger said he was diappointed with the QUANTITY of girls and not the quality as you have mistakenly referred to being the gist of the cutouts. There was not one thing said about quality.

Have you RTFF lately?

I was a bit disappointed with the quantity of girls in the Cave at Mansion but we never hung around there for more than an hour, and I think we kept going at odd times when things were slow. It's not a place like Del Rey in Costa Rica that you can grab a girl for a quickie whenever you want, its more GFE and most of the guys we met there were single and networking most of their chicas on FB.

About La Cueva, I just got back from a couple of weeks at the Mansion:

One night, 5 guys and 2 girls.

Next night, 6 guys and 20 girls.

Night after that, 8 guys and 7 girls.

Next night again, 2 guys and 18 girls.

That is just how it goes there. Luck of the Draw!

I like El Peñon and San Antonio or even a bit farther South near Parque de Perro. I don't particularly like la Sexta. There is night life around there, I just don't like the vibe. Some guys like to be farther North near Chipichapi shopping center. I don't like being there as you are sort of far away from stuff. I like to be able to walk out of my apartment and have cafes, bars, parks nearby.

For your guide, the "nice" areas in Cali aren't as expansive as those in Medellin (Poblado, Belen, Laureles, Envigado). It's probably a more dangerous city vs Medellin (though Medellin has plenty of no-go zones).
