Medellin Reports

[Maelstrom]

Yes I RTTF. In fact I do daily. The Medellin thread is super active and as many of you may know I contribute regularly in other major threads where I have knowledge. Here's the rub. I hve no knowledge of Med. I like to read about it but it all just washes over me. Like some warm pussy juice.

So now here I am most likely coming to Med end of March and have questions as I start planning. So I would trul appreciate it if we could skip the RTTF comments and some generous members provide concise answers. (I am glad to provide any in return on US, Brazil, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, China and Taiwan.

Often questions get asked with no context which is lame. So here is the context:

I prefer to stay at nice hotels in a part of the city that has a lot to do. Cafes. Restaurants and Bars. I am amazed to see a ton of hotels at $35 a night or something. I'm happy to pay to have a nice fit and finish. Maybe balcony and jacuzzi. I am always envious when you guys are showing all that. The buck goes far in Med. So where should I stay what part of city or preferably recommend hotels.

I have a huge list of Facebook girls and maybe I will just do the party in the room thing. But honestly I love the real world club pickup. For reference Scandallo is a fave. I also like Sharks in Germany where obviously it's a lot more commercial but a nice place to relax and chat up your fave girl. It needn't be super luxe like Scandallo but not dicey either. What are the places like this in Med or should I stick to Facebook girls.

Although I've been a ton of places as a Medellin virgin I might enjoy a wingman with similar tastes so feel free to HMU by message. Happy to generally cover drinks or other for my wing. Spanish speakers particularly welcome tho not necessary.

I'm sure I have other questions so def contact me if you are open to helping guide my virgin ass or wing with me.

I have questions about Brazil as I will be going there in late spring to early summer. Planning on SP and Rio split trip. So here's my take. If you go to The Mansion just limit your stay. The girls aren't the hottest and its good for a newbie that doesn't speak good Spanish, but you can get so much more for your buck with Facebook girls and getting girls from Fase Dos and La Isla to see you off the clock.

Gusto is super overpriced but its not too hard to haggle down the price if you're negotiating skills are good. You can find some really hot Venezuelan girls around Lleras just don't pay their 300 k asking price haggle them down to 200 k at the most.

Some good casas worth visiting: Energy Massage in Laureles and New Life in Centro.

I haven't stayed at Haven hotel but from what I can tell it's highly recommended here. And it's right in the middle of parque lleras. They have rooms with jacuzzi also for about 120 usd, it's also chica friendly. I'll be going next week ended up booking 1 night at The Charlee Hotel and the rest at Haven.

I don't recommend Haven. Yes its chica friendly the usual 1 chica per day rule as all hotels are but the staff gets a 1/2 out of 5 star service rating from me. Ask for towels good luck for them to bring it up. Manager the balding older guy is a rude douchebag and shady too. He gave me some BS reason for moving me floors that there is flooding in my room, but it was super dry. He just wanted to rent out my room at a higher price or it was just plain incompetence - either way inexcusable. So instead of complaining and getting some retaliation, I just switched hotels.

Anyways you've been warned.

I am purchasing at apartment and I wanted to know if anyone knew the best vendor to send 70 k usd. The online companies have limits.

RiceRocket99 did that. You don't want to wire money before you talk to a lawyer or someone familiar with this. I think in order for you to get the money out of Colombia in the future, you need to follow certain procedure.

... The Mansion sounds intriguing and thanks for the tip that it's Casa Blanca. I can't find shit about it on the web tho. Surely there are some pics or a website or something somewhere?

P.S. Thanks to all for the tips both here and in I'm. You guys are great.

The thread is here. The web site is http://hotelmedellinplaza.com.

It is a good suggestion but I don't think you will like the ambiance. The quality of the place does not match the price and you said you already have a large list of FB girls. You can just pay a fee to get into the bar to check out the girls. I think you want to check out Mechanic88's post below. There is a roof top bar Envy on top of Charlee that you can check out.

I want to reduce your expectation so you don't disappoint. To rate the overall facility, relatively speaking, Scandallo is like 5 star hotel, Cafe Foto / Lotus Club is 4 star. Gusto is 2. 5. But for bar only, I think it is pretty nice, on par with a downsized Cafe Foto, minus the stage.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but women who fuck foreigners for money are not 'normal girls.'

You are projecting different values, I am assuming American values, onto a foreign culture. Maybe not normal to you. Normal for them. Normal for me.

I'm going to be back in Medellin at the end of February beginning of March. If anyone has some good Laureles airbnbs or buildings they'd recommend please PM me. I am looking for potential alternatives to San Peter, where I've stayed my previous two trips. I stayed on the 15th floor last time, which wasn't bad but don't see anything on the higher floors listed for my dates at San Peter. I stayed on the 4 rth floor once as well and don't want to repeat that. In terms of another building, I would love a slightly quieter place. I'd want a doorman and good security like SP. Also, a gas vs. Electric cooktop would be a plus (though not a must). Of course girl friendly goes without saying. I'm happy to trade some fb contacts / recs over pm or in person when I'm there in exchange for any info.

Regarding hotels, I moved between Leblon suites hotel and Estelar apartments Medellin. For both I recommend to book for two people then even though you bring different people they never charge the guests (at least in my experience). During my stay I hung out with a couple of ISG guys, and they were great guys and showed me great things. So, I recommend you try to make some friends here which if anyone is coming into Medellin or is here message me and we can meet up because I am in Medellin till the end of February.

Thank you for the report Ricardo. I'm planning on visiting Medellin this year. How was the internet connection at Estelar and Leblon? The reason I ask is because I plan on working from Medellin when I visit.

You didn't say how long your coming to Medellin for, and it sounds like based on your previous mongering background that you are used to paying what would be considered lots of money for services which in Medellin will be at a fraction of the cost.

I know some guys might wince at this, but since it's your maiden voyage, and sounds like you have disposable income, you might just stay at the Mansion, or I guess it's called Casa Blanca in Poblado if your only going to be town for a short period of time, or at least for the first week. Lots of newbies stay there, utilize their services which aren't cheap, including the girls that frequent the place, but you can quickly get a taste of things and will be in Poblado, which seems like it will be a good fit for you versus other parts of town.

I'm not inferring that your not capable of managing a monger trip on your own with my recommendation, but Medellin in contrast to the Countries you mentioned is very different, and more diverse, meaning all kinds of venues that you might want to sample, and places you won't even want to get near.

Hopefully this helps.

Yeah only in town a few days. All my adventures are on business trips and so I am generally in a town 3-5 days. The Mansion sounds intriguing and thanks for the tip that it's Casa Blanca. I can't find shit about it on the web tho. Surely there are some pics or a website or something somewhere?

P.S. Thanks to all for the tips both here and in I'm. You guys are great.

Allianza will probably be the best way to bring the money into the Country. But before you can utilize their services you will need to be fully vetted by them meaning providing tax returns and other information. Also, however you bring the money into the Country, if the transaction is not registered with the Colombian government which will involve an attorney or a Colombian tax accountant, if at a later date you sell the property, it will be a problem getting the money out of the Country. What you want to do for this sum of money is not as easy as it sounds as your finding out.

Good Luck!

I think there is a new and improved version of Google Translate on line I just noticed, or is it just me? Jjajaja. Anywho, at first blush looks much more user friendly and I am excited to take it for a test spin. Uh oh, does this belong in the new Spanish Learning Blog here? I dunno. Let's have fun.

I'm in Medellin and Bogota monthly and I'm going to give my 2 cents. Meeting girls on Tinder is the way to go. Many will say that is a good way to get drugged. In many years of traveling there it has never happened to me. I stay in apartments that have a porter. You just have to be smart. But you can easily meet girls on there for 200,000 pesos or less per encounter. Some of them are just looking for a foreigner to take them on trips. Show them a good time. I met a beautiful 24 year old that spent an entire week with me in Cartagena. I gave her 500,000 pesos as a gift. It was a week of wonderful amazing sex. We even hooked up with a girl at the club and took her back to the hotel and had fun. I'm not much into Street action or the strip clubs. I like to meet normal girls. And tender has been an easy way to do that.

Sounds like fun.
