Medellin Reports

[Balboa]

Just left my favorite casa. Costs 50 for the girl and 12 for the room. I didn't hit a chick, but arranged for one to come all night. She said 250. I said ok, but you pay your babysitter and transportation. She said okay.

Congratulations. You're a shrewd negotiator, LOL.

Go to Centro Comercial Rio Sur on Avenida Poblado. It's across from Oviedo mall. Inside there are 3 legit massage places. OM Spa for men has been reviewed a few times. The Garage Spa, offshoot from the Garage Barber shop is also there, but no reviews that I'm aware of. And then there's Zen Exclusive Spa.

I've been to Zen twice, both times the massage was excellent and both girls were happy with taking care of the little muscle that popped up. Both looked to be early to mid 20's and very attractive.

If I remember correctly, 180 k for the hour, including the happy ending.

There last week and there are 4. LOL. Add to your list Dharma massage. There is a veritable 8+/10 there, I will withhold the name, she is a fine masseuse, and a great looker to boot. She is a dancer and does this as her supporting gig. My order if prioritizing the massages is 1) Zen, 2) dharma 3) Om and 4) Garage. They are all around 90-110 range for the hour of legit massage with about 60 extra if you got additional services ie a Handjob. But unless you just got off the plane and want a release, there are better ways to release in Medellin. LOL.

And for some the cheap little black plastic bags with a touch of glue to sniff, ahhhh that smells like shit.

The Tall Man.

I saw a sniffer today in El Centro without a black plastic bag, the hallmark of a "Sacalero". Instead this guy had the bottle up to his nostrils and was sniffing. I thought about stopping and talking with him and informing him that he would get a much better buzz using a bag with the Toulene fumes being concentrated within the bag resulting in much a higher dosage and high. However, I don't think he would of understood anything I could of said, and he looked infested with scabies and what appeared to be some open sores so I passed on that.

Here's a suggestion for your next romantic get away. It's going to cost a little bit more, but not much.

Hop on the south bound Metro with your current girl. Don't forget the wine and weed. Take it to the Ayura station. From the station walk south along the Autopista for about 2 blocks to Motel Ibiza. Or you could splurge and pay 15 k for the taxi.

The room, depending on what you take from the mini-bar, will cost about 100 k. You'll find real wine glasses, a jacuzzi tub, an incredible shower, a nice sound system, a stripper pole, a love chair and a nice big bed. You have to pay extra after 6 hours, but it's reasonable. Room service is available and I understand the food is good. There are ashtrays in the room, so smoking does happen.

Lacks the culture of Parque de Las periodistas, bit it has it's own charm.

I appreciate your suggestion for my next romantic getaway, but I don't need all the amenities. An amorous nympho, with a sopping silky tight pussy, a vice grip vacuum mouth, and a loving attitude is all I need.

You're going to have everyone confused. I used to have a picture of that Mansion, even went inside and checked out one of the rooms.

Yes a few are dazed and confused as evidenced by one of the posts thus far, and should be. But my report was completely factual, and I believe there are actually three Hotels named the Mansion in Medellin.

I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice for a trip I am planning in the spring. My last trip I stayed in Poblado Plaza which was very nice, but it had a huge fee to check in a guest, 60.00 USD. I am tempted to stay there again because the staff, rooms, location, and convenience were all excellent. Just very pricey compared to many other places in Medellin. I prefer hotels for security, comfort, and amenities while on vacation. I am also very interested in the Dann Carlton Hotel, Energy Apartments, and Blux Apartments. Does anyone know the guest fees for these places. I think I heard Energy and Blux might not have guest fees as they are AIRBNB, but I could be wrong. I noticed Energy is pretty expensive compared to Blux. Is Energy worth the extra money? I also read Energy and Blux can get pretty loud from partying and it can be annoying which would kinda suck. If anyone could offer their opinion on these places that would be really cool. Also if anyone knows of some other hotels in Poblado that they could recommend or comment on, that would be really cool as well. Thanks in advance for responses.

It's unbelievable as you have noticed how things have changed in El Centro over the past months, specifically at the location of the street sign located at Carrea 52 and Calle 52 which I now refer to as "Little Caracas" which I used to refer to as "Ground Zero". There's so many Venezuelans, and with so many of them being impregnated who are now working the streets, the next thing you will know this information will get around the world that Medellin is the place to find pregnant women to bang, and there will be plane loads of "Pregnant Chica Aficionados" showing up, and apparently we have quite a few here already that are coming out of the closet.

Mongers have stopped going to Asia. Argentina is no more, Sosua is in decline, Rio is in decline; now everyone is headed to Medellin, what's going to happen to my beloved destination?

Where are some good legit massage places in Medellin, any of them in Poblado?

So I decided to stay at the Mansion on Saturday night and brought along one of Amigas to spend the night with me. Upon arriving around 5 PM we were warmly greeted by the Mansion staff, and upon registering and paying we were taken to our room. Nicely appointed room for the locale, and the bed was very comfortable, which was immediately utilized upon the closing of the door. After we completed our first session I informed my Amiga that I had a bottle of red wine, cheese, and crackers for us to share so we went upstairs to the balcony on the fourth floor, pulled up some chairs, and took in a beautiful sunset. I handed her the bottle of wine and the corkscrew and asked her to un-cork the wine. She was clueless not knowing what a corkscrew was let alone a cork for that matter. Her liquor experience as she told me was limited to Rum, Aquardiente, and Cerveza. Regardless, I opened up the wine, poured it into the plastic cups I had brought and we started munching on the cheese and crackers. After about five minutes two guys came up to the balcony and were drinking beers, followed by another couple of came up and started smoking weed. Directly below us was Parque Perdista, also known as "Stoners Park". The other guests drinking beer and smoking weed were a bit perplexed to see someone with a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers. Anyways, after we finished the bottle of wine we decided to go to dinner and spent some time in the park. Lot's and lots of people, musical instruments, and everyone had something in common. It was either a drink (beer, rum, aguardiente) in one hand, or a joint in one hand, or one of each in each hand, and / or Coke to snort. Vendors were selling joints of Marijuana for 2,000 Pesos and bags of Coke for 4,000 Pesos. I watched some of the transactions and what people were paying..

You're going to have everyone confused. I used to have a picture of that Mansion, even went inside and checked out one of the rooms.

Here's a suggestion for your next romantic get away. It's going to cost a little bit more, but not much.

Mr. E, what do you mean with "reversed"? That your account lists a withdrawal, but the same amount has been immediately returned because the transaction has been recognized as not happened?

I had similar experience with Bancolombia. I did repeated withdraws several times in a row but no bills came out. I was charged multiple times but they were reversed back to my account automatically. I only called my bank to confirm the deposits of the failed withdraws. Their ATMs are everywhere but I will avoid using them again.

[SJobs]

So the total damage for this extravaganza was approximately 35 K for the room, 30 K for dinner, 30 K for wine / cheese / crackers, 2 K for my Amigas joint, 6 K for transport, and 150 K for my Amiga. So I spent a whopping 253 K or about $ 75 USD for a romantic evening of sexual debauchery, and my Amiga was thanking me profusely for such a good time and so much money.

Sounds like you had a great time there, well done! I'm surprised you only paid 35 k for the room at the mansion. Last time I was there, they were asking for 85 dollars a night, I didn't have a reservation at the time and I already have a big Airbnb apartment, so I just paid the 50 K entrance fee to the bar.

So would I recommend the Mansion to others. If you like to get high but don't have to, have a good tolerance for noise, and don't mind a room with the minimum (hot water, flat screen TV, & Fan) and speak some Spanish it could be a lot of fun. I know other gringos frequent the park there, but I don't think so many other gringos actually spend the night there, perhaps some of the other posters have. Way different scene then the "Little Caracas" part of town. I have no problem going back. I'm not there to get high on drugs, but to be devoured by and devour my Amiga when she is in heat.

My only complaint about the mansion are the rooms, they are too basic, but I do love the mirrors though. I wish they have better rooms, I know lots of people are happy to pay 50 dollar extra for an upgraded room.

Heading down at the end of the month for 3 weeks. This is exactly how I'd like to spend each day. Sounds great.

Excuse me?? Anyone can provide some more details about this?

My debit card has a 5-digit PIN. I have always used it without problems in Colombia. Now you are saying that the PIN must be 4-digit, or it will not work but cause that mess? It's incredible to say the least!

What should I do, except changing the PIN to 4 digits? (which is not possible, as my bank wisely does not allow shorter PINs).

Mr. E, what do you mean with "reversed"? That your account lists a withdrawal, but the same amount has been immediately returned because the transaction has been recognized as not happened?

Now I am confused but that's nothing new. A five digit pin number? When I use my Wells Fargo and Bank of America Cards say at Colpatria or BanColombia ATM it always ask for my four digit PIN number. On the screen it shows four lines.

Mind if I ask what bank you use that has a five digit number?

I also have a BanColombia debit card as well, and it onlly has a 4 digit PIN number so something is weird.

Certain banks and certain ATMS are doing this.

Because I literally had it happen over night with some weird ATM firmware update and it was sooo hard for me to figure ut out.

It's in small print, you got to contact your back and find out. I think it has to do with the switching company thtat the ATM in Colombia and the bank in the US has on the backend.
