I since have stayed at the San Fernando Plaza and have been fine there as long as I register for 2. Laureles just seems to be much more relaxed and a better overall experience.
I have booked a stay at the Marriott (one of their concepts, I forget) in Cartagena and will see how that goes.

I'm going on the assumption that you don't regularly visit swinger clubs. If I'm wrong maybe this will be useful for others.
1. Be certain that you and whoever you take can handle it. I've seen and even been involved in some difficult situations caused by both people not being on the same page. In one case, the girl I came with left me there. Fortunately, I had other people I knew to get a ride back. If you're going, hoping to get into a good 3 some, remember that the other woman probably came with another man and he's going to participate as much or more than you. Either you, or the girl you take might not be comfortable with that.
2. Most clubs have nights when single men are allowed in. Colombian clubs have prepagos working to take up the slack, but it's still likely to be a sausage fest and you'll probably draw a crowd of men everywhere you go. I've seen a few women have panic attacks over all the men trying to get closer and get a feel.
3. In the US the standard rule is "no means no." If you ask someone else to join you, if they aren't interested, move on. Also touching requires prior permission. In practice it's not absolute, especially with women touching first, but it's always best to ask. I don't know how well that rule is followed in Colombia. It's possible some of the men will get touchy with your girl and she might not be okay with it.
4. Have a plan. It's possible either you or your girl will want to leave shortly after arrival. Agree beforehand how you'll deal with it. My suggestion is to agree to stay for a specific time period. Take your time, watch others and don't push things faster than both are ready for.

Any nice high-end swinger clubs in MDE with decent, younger crowd? Want to give it a try with a chica.

As for the limitations of the Moovit app, yes I hear you. It's far from perfect though I still found it somewhat useful and FAR better than what's available for bus routes and schedules that you can find for buses in most of Central and South America, which in most areas is virtually non-existent (BTW, why do the few Latin American bus company websites that do exist typically just show pictures of their buses with no route, fare or schedule info?)
Another transportation app I used in Medelln was Cabify and that I found to be even less useful than Moovit. The best that can be said for that app is that you can charge taxi rides to your credit card, which can be very useful for when you first arrive at the airport and don't yet have local currency (though the 2 ATM's right before the airport exit can take care of that) and also the fare to or from the airport comes out a few dollars cheaper than regular taxis. However, everywhere else I tried Cabify the fare came out more (sometimes much more) than a regular taxi, plus it involved waiting a few minutes for it to arrive vs. just jumping in the nearest available cab.
I also tried the Metro app and if you thought Moovit was a pain to deal with then you shouldn't even bother with the Metro app.

I've taken it at times when the Metro is shut down and it goes along Avenida Oriental which turns into Avenue Poblado when it leaves Centro.

One nice thing about the busses, they'll stop anywhere to pick you up, if you flag them down and they'll stop anywhere to let you off. They're also a good option to get rid of all the coins you end up with.

Posts: 57I haven't really seen this talked about, but what attire do you guys usually use for going out (e. G, to the club, restaurants, etc)?
I'm packing slightly more formally than I do on other (non-monger) trips where I frequently traveled in gym clothing.

As for the Moovit app, I have found it to be of limited value. It will show the route between two points, but it's bus schedule is very unreliable. I have waited 30 minutes for a bus that is shows runs every 10 minutes.

Buses pickup at a stop just a few meters north of Parque Poblado on Cra 43a (that's the main drag by the park). The bus to look for is #135 (if you forget the #, there are maps at that bus stop showing the routes). It comes by every few minutes and takes <20 minutes to get to El Centro and the fare is just 2550 COP (vs 12-14k COP for a taxi which isn't much faster, or adventurous). It's a straight shot with few stops (or at least none very long) but it makes a little loop near San Antonio and can get caught up in traffic before getting to Berrios so I usually just get off at San Antonio and walk the last few blocks.
Coming back from El Centro is a lot more confusing (unless you have the Moovit app on your phone), so you might prefer to just take the Metro (and the walk back up the hill, ugh) but I never shy away from a challenge. You might need to ask nearby bystanders exactly which bus stop you need (and, LOL, get a dozen different incorrect answers). Beyond that basically your choice is to look for that #135 bus (#130 or #130a also work) where you got off at Parque Berrios (but a lot of other buses also stop there possibly making that option too confusing) or, what I prefer, walk 2 blocks east to the main drag (Cra 43a) and catch any of those buses where they're heading in the right direction (south).
As you can tell, I like to provide complete detail (hence my handle) and probably make this sound more confusing than it's worth, but it's really not all that hard and I feel it's always better to have too much info than too little. Taking local buses is not about saving money (though there's that too). They're about experiencing a place like a native, thus adding to the adventure.
