Medellin Reports

[JjBee62]

But I read previously in this thread that hotel nutibara is guest friendly?

That was an example of sarcasm. It's harder to find a hotel in El Centro that isn't guest friendly than it is to find one that is.

Calle Real and Premier Plaza and various others up in prado area a cpl blocks up the street from hotel nutibara (if you have the cajones to stay in that area LOL).

I briefly met a young guy with mental problem and a loud redneck guy who stayed at Premier Plaza last year. I heard that the hotel is noisy and sometimes guests' money are stolen. I saw some gringos in the area. All were unattractive guys and some look creepy. They all sounded like highs chool graduates or dropout, and no college graduate. They stood out and the locals hated them. The area looks safe but I know tons of gringos and Colombians who were robbed there.

I will search the forum for answers but looking for best guest friendly Airbnb's and hotels in Laureles. Any info appreciated.

You can look for Airbnb's with private entrance, keylock / code entrance (you never meet anyone). Those basically don't care, since they are not monitoring. Some more affordable places in Manila (down the hill from Laureles); yet still in the middle of everything.

You won't find much on guest friendly airbnbs. An individual airbnb may allow a guest one day and then change their house rules and not allow it. You can look at Airbnb listings, see what the listing says under the "rules" section, and sometimes under the safety and security section, and guest comments. And you can usually know which ones do NOT allow guests. But to be sure you will need to check with the host before booking. However sometimes you will see listings on Airbnb for some of the more common spots such as San Peter in Laureles, Energy Living, or places that P o be l a the o Rentals have, and these are or have been guest friendly. They show up under hotel searches, booking.com searches, Airbnb, etc.

Most Abnb's that do not allow guests are explicit about it on their listing under the Rules section. If it is a bit vague, I always sent a message to the host asking about their guest policy and they will tell you. I always recommend that you confirm the guest policy on an Airbnb before booking. The hosts usually get back to you quickly. There are many great Abnb's that I would love to stay in except for their guest policy. If you want to bring girls back to your place, it does eliminate a good number of wonderful places to stay.

San Peter is the old standby and you can't go wrong there. The only complaint I have is noise issues with that nightclub next door.

E, I went there 2 nights -Monday, very slow and on Friday and it was packed, I was charged 50 K. At first, I thought I was being scammed but on the second visit I noticed the sign on the door which in fact said 50 K. They must be changing the price on a whim. Now another member posted he paid 40 K pesos. If we don't take control of these prices, before long La ISL will be charging 100-150 K entrance fee.

Here's an idea -gather up a few mongers (at least 5) go there and if they try to charge 50-80 K pesos, ask to be let in for 30 or 40 K if not go to Fase 2.
No need to make a scene or raise your voice in fact be real cool and if they refuse, simply let them know that you will be going elsewhere with your dollars.

Join the mongers union now. We'll teach them what to charge. Nice idea, but I don't think that will change very much.

But as a group they might give you a break if you asked nicely as you suggest. That is very possible.

Wow! HELP. That was my first introduction to mongering back in like 2004 or so. My goodness. I swear if that place was open today I don't think I would have even ventured into Colombia.

The atompshere, the vibe, the energy the shear SIZE of it. I loved how it felt like a real club and it was like even though all the girls were working you still felt like there wasn't this hard sell from the girls.

I think I banged to this day the most beauitful girl there ever, but my goodness she was on a next level in terms of understanding men and how to manipulate them. I was way too young to even understand but damn.

Soo so sooo many good fucks there, There will never be anything like it again at the size that was. I think it was even taughted as "the largest club in south america" it just so happend to have working girls there.

If you look in my profile you can see reports of it in the rio fourm somehwere. Props for the reminder.

I first stumbled onto that club during Carnival at the age of 24 and think that club was a good part of the reason I got into the hobby and never go married LOL. Surely saved me some money over the long run ha ha.

[Chicago85]

Going to Medellin in mid July....

I will probably do a little pay for play but not making it the focus of my trip.

Do you guys prefer Poblado or Laureles? My spanish is probably at 15%.

Have any of you guys been successful in banging girls out there without paying for it?

Yes, but it's largely dependent upon your age, fluency in Spanish, and spending time with the girl. I used to have my trips spread out as 1/3 prepagos (ie casas, clubs), 1/3 semi-pros (ie the less hardcore FB girls), and 1/3 non-pros (ie girls I'd meet through friends or on street). With the latter you have a lot of challenges, but it can be done after a couple nice dates, convincing them that you're not a monger, and having some connection to Colombia or Medellin. Non-pros go out with tight nit groups and families in Colombia, not looking to 'hook up' like in the US so it's hard to break that circle. But again, can be done. For each 10-12 day trip I'd usually have dates with 2-3 non-pros and maybe 1-2 would be able to hook up with. If nothing else you get to work on your Spanish, although the initial interactions can be frustrating and awkward.

Is there a gym somewhere within walking distance in El Centro. ?. I'll be staying at the Nutibara and need a place to flex my manly muscles.

I agree with DownLow123. Your best bet for price and value is likely SmartFit although it will be a cab ride, albeit short and cheap. If you're hear for a week I'd do that. I've found BodyTech to be a bit pretentious and to be more difficult for sign up as a foreigner. The one issue with SmartFit is that some locations allow day passes and others do not. I for one typically find the month pass at 50 k to 100 k (ie $12 to $18) depending on location to still be good value for 5 to 7 trips over a week. Remember to bring a copy of your passport as they oddly need that (as opposed to other ID).

[Elvis 2008]

Yes and the buzz that we hear, the videos of people walking around spewing their BS bring more of the same. Then idiots making it rain. Kinda like the USA hip hop world mentality, big asses and stupid people. HEY, look at me I have $. The hot girls are still there. They are more selective now. Cost maybe 20-40% more. Still incredible.

DC, I swear I am in this parallel universe in that the Colombia I see is so much different than what other guys see. On the one hand, I read Colombians and their $500 a month salaries and the like, but I see the Iphones and the fancy cars and I know things do not add up. I have been to poorer countries where the women wanted more money. I think pussy got cheap in Colombia because of the Venezuelan invasion and things in Venezuela are not as bad as they were so pussy was going to get more expensive because of that.

Meanwhile, my gal has a death in the family and she gets an inheritance. The family member owned a farm. I actually went there. It did not look like much on the outside, but the land was incredibly valuable and she got a share of the animals. I couldn't calculate an exact figure but those cows were worth a lot more than I thought. And where the farm was, the grasslands North of Bogota, have great fields for cattle grazing. I wondered how much of the farming business outside of the drugs is being kept off the books. It was kind of staggering how much the businesses this family member had added up to. I wonder how many Americans would have assumed this Colombian family member was poor.

My gal stayed with her cousins and their house was stunning. The gal I was dating before this one had a house in the city of Apartado that was like 3,000 square feet and it too was nice. When I was on a tour of Cartagena, the guide was pointing to the million dollar homes in Bocagrande and Castillogrande, and yet the average American thinks of Colombia as poor right?

You won't find them in the US under what $300 for an ugly SW? . Patience and persistence is now your best game. I found 2 extremely good looking girls, got their numbers and had them meet at my hotel 2 days later. Never left my seat, was polite to everyone (even the fatties) and succeeded. I'll be back in 3 weeks. It takes 9-10 hours on a plane from Vegas (or me) . Florida is 3-4, NYC is 5. No wonder it's full of shit for brains people. (just kidding).

Don, I was in Miami when Avianca started back direct flights from Miami to Cartagena. Avianca and the Miami airport made a bit of a party out of it. They had speakers and a podium and like some free drinks and food. Anyway, the airport guy said Colombia was Miami's #1 international destination. So you have our government do this crazy fucking $10 trillion Covid stimulus package, and it is crazy to think that some of that money would not find its way to Colombia.

Thing is one of my best friends is in Florida and he is bothered by the easy money so many people there have come into. Apparently, the best land to build on in Florida is the ones where they grow citrus, and he built on land previously used to grow citrus. His city has grown like a weed, and the traffic is unreal. Still, he pays little in property taxes because he gets an agricultural exemption because he lets cattle feed on his property. At some point, a famer needs to ask himself if this insane tax policy is going to be kept up. Why is there a tax break for some farmer raising cattle or growing citrus in what is now suburban Florida? Wouldn't it make more sense to sell the farm for millions to some condo developer and move your operation to Colombia where the land and help is so much cheaper? We have a free trade deal with Colombia right?

For some reason, the airlines overestimate the times from Florida to Colombia. In reality, it is two hours from Miami to Cartagena and like two and a half to Medellin and Bogota. What is so disgusting for those of us in Texas is nonstops from here are four figures because of monopoly pricing. But because you have like five or six airlines competing on routes, flights from Florida are dirt cheap. So a three day weekend is cheap with regards to time spent and air fares cost, and it is crazy to think that the huge money flowing into Florida is not going to go to Colombia too. Why bother with the $500 an hour hooker in Miami versus a better one for a fraction of that cost in Colombia?

You lived in Tijuana in Mexico and saw it change as American money flowed in. Now companies are moving their factories from Mexico to China because labor is cheaper in Mexico. The peso has gone from 20 to the dollar to 17 now, and I think the peso will continue to get stronger. The Mexican women I know may not be rich, but they are not desperate. Maybe it is just me but I do not see that desperation in Colombia either. Thing is I think people have totally forgotten about Covid and how hard Colombia shut down. Those were desperate times because so few people could work or earn a living. It is crazy to compare those days to now.

Just got quoted 450 mil for an hour + taxi fee from a Prepagos girl. Am I tripping or is that way too high. I'the rather get 2 pops at a casa for 140 k.

Assuming they don't speak spanish and can't go for non-pros, new MDE mongers are left with three options:

1) get the wham bam non GFE service from the seasoned casa girls in centro (zandalay, dulce, amigas sexy, etc).

2) stick out like a sore thumb at ground zero and risk robbery / violence for cheap vennies.

3) pay out the ass for an online girl that doesn't look like her pictures.

Or, la isla or fase 2 or gustos if you want to be a mark.

Any "7+ " paisa worth their salt has figured out the instagram / onlyfans game, and don't need to sell themselves for 50 k cop anymore. May have some luck on seeking arrangements.

There is no more gringo allure or charm, it's expected.

Best bet, learn spanish and blend to get a non pro.

A little off topic from your post, yes.

Medellin is the new cartagena, the locals see a foreigner and know they're here for degenerate sex. Anti-gringo sentiment is very high and will only increase. Not going to sugar coat it.

Wow great to hear from someone who has personal experience with both hotels, I am planning to book one of them for one day and then decide where to spend rest to the time after looking on both when I reach there, I have to visit Medellin from August 3 to August 23 , I know that this area is a little dangerous (I have been there only 2 times but only in daylight) , do to think its too dangerous to stay there as you have personal experience staying that area?

Don't go around flexing your gold chains or flashing your money or iPhone around and you will be just fine in this area. It is no more dangerous than santa fe in Bogota.

[DownLow123]

You will save yourself time to walk to the nearest smartfit (which is laureles unicemtro mall) someone correct me if I'm wrong. Smartfit line seems to be the best gym in south america, and for the serious gym rat, like myself. If I were you I'd hop in a taxi or take an indriver to the gym and back. It'll be about $4 usd for the trip. I personally used unicentro smartfit and had squat macjines, a place for heavy deadlifts, they charge 80 k cop for a month membership which is on the expensive side, but worth it. Save yourself the headache.

[Carrib]

Is it possible they are doing different things on different nights? One night where it is slower could be 50 and a night where they had all going on that you say, the price could be jacked up to 80. You both could be right.

E, I went there 2 nights -Monday, very slow and on Friday and it was packed, I was charged 50 K. At first, I thought I was being scammed but on the second visit I noticed the sign on the door which in fact said 50 K. They must be changing the price on a whim.
