Could someone give a a quick run down on the best hotel to stay at which is girl friendly and in the action? I have read about the Mansion or Liquid lounge? Are these similar to the veneto in Panama? I have read the forum and it seems to be all around the Medellin plaza but any additional info would be appreciated.

How did you not sort out your accommodations before your trip? Try Hotel Alemeda on 10A (maybe 10) it's across from the Exito in Poblado. Clean nice and good wi-fi on the lower floors. Casino Alegre is on the top floor of Premium Plaza.

Difficulty finding habitacion starting August 7th because of Feria de Flores. I was able to find vacancies at Hotel Marco Delcias in Itagui, however caja fuerte is only available in reception area. Is anyone familiar with this place and would like to comment on the procedures and prices regarding the working girls in and around the surrounding bars. I paid a visit to New Life and had a session with 22 year old Sarah. She required a 20,000 propina to perform BBBJ. I find the camas to be filthy in these casas. I am presently using a computer in the Hotel Egina. Does anyone know the location of any Medellin internet cafes and also the location of the Alegre Casino.
Muchas Gracias

Presently in Medellin for the first time and not knowing anything about Feria de Flores. All the hotels listed on Booking. Com including dirt bag places are charging obnoxious rates. I need habitacion starting August 7th for one week. I found a place in Itagui called Hotel Marco Delicias. Is anyone familiar with this place and associated prices and procedures for the working girls hanging ln and around the bars. Would anyone know the location of any internet cafes and the Allegre Casino. I am presently staying at the Hotel Egina.
Muchas Gracias

Posts: 505There are plenty of good local restaurants around parque berrio. More especifically on botero park (where the fat statues). Always go for the "Menu del dia" which changes daily and is offered at a better price. There are also great restaurants around parque bolivar. And on the Junin pedestrian passage. All serve fresh food with healthy choices of soups, meats, poultry and fish. My personal favorite is one chicken restaurant on the beginning of the Junin passage from parque bolivar side, first chicken joint on left side if bolivar on your back (sorry can't recall the name) but they make the best (pechuga ala barrilla) grilled chicken breast: juicy and smoky.
As far as the pestering on the streets: It's not a biggie, usually I get it from the girls and I just ignore or smile and tell them I don't have and they bend their elbows pointing to it and giving me a frown (cultural for describing one as a hard person)
One thing I miss from stayin in el centro is the abundance of fruit stands and fresh juice / shake joints. Make sure you pick the ones which cover the fruit cups with plastic baggies and not the ones that has the bags at the bottom.
Anyhow. Too much talking here.
Enjoy your trip.

Posts: 505Not soon.
I just got back from a trip to Mombasa and I need to take care of things here at home. So I won't be doing much overseas travelling anytime soon.
You still stay at the Mayorista when you go back? Or have you found another place, or even considered my hotel in el centro?
Pm if you prefer.

Posts: 1094Rooms along the main drag - Calle 85 used to go for 12K for 30mins. (ie. Cielo Azul, La Amistad, Momentos) If you are staying in a hotel around the corner from the casino like Alcaravan, most girls will go with you without additional payment.

The thing I like about Colombia is no one really bothers me. Despite the area downtown being a social wasteland, the street people don't seem to have too much experience singling out gringos for tip harassment. In Costa Rica the scum would come crawling out of the sewer to say, "hey one coin for me" in English. I was essentially invisible and ignored until met a friend and started speaking English.
A friend who is living in Medellin called me and we went for dinner. Best we could do in that section of town at night was a 24 hour chicken, fast food chain. Our conversation in English attracted some attention. Actually, this is the first time I had a conversation in English for four days. This area of town is nothing like Poblado.
I had inquired at the Nutibarra Hotel if they had a restaurant, and the answer was no. Then I walked around the corner and saw the big remodeling project and the outdoor cafe they are building.
Made it back to Mayorista before the last train, and pulled another girl, young flaca for 30, 000 pesos. Apparently the room does cost 20,000 pesos. I'll be moving out of Itaqui tomorrow, and staying Barrio Colombia. Too bad Liquid Lounge delayed their opening, because I picked a hotel close to it for the weekend. I plan to do more exploring downtown over the weekend.
Internet access at the hotel is constantly going down, but the tethered iPhone with the prepaid Tigo Chip is working great with 1.5 to 2.0 MB of bandwidth on the laptop. It's also great having Google Maps to pinpoint exact location on the phone when exploring the city.
Got a Claro prepaid 3G chip for my USB Datacard, but their network sucks for bandwidth. It includes a phone line and is interchangeable for a phone chip. Funny thing is the manager at the Claro store admitted the Internet service was poor before she sold it to me. I am going to stick with Tigo. I think the Claro 4G chips are not available yet, or maybe just not for prepaid accounts.
