Posts: 360Rice, you don't have to worry about us getting robbed like you. None of us would bring a Gucci watch to Fing Colombia, and most won't bring their iphone 5. You couldn't keep that watch home or at least leave the watch and phone at the mansion when before went out drinking. Also, why would you bring your whole wad of money out with you. 800.00 is a lot. Bring 200 and your CC. You must have absolutely zero common sense. I hate to ream you like this but you deserve it.

Posts: 309First ever trip to MDE. Bad news first & great news later.
OK. Straight to the point. It's been 2. 5 days since I was robbed on my first ever night in MDE. I'll tell the entire story in a bit. I've since moved on from that experience and have enjoyed my trip and going on my 3rd day and loving it! Took me a day to recover from the bad memories and it was pretty much my stupidity and lack of common sense (and typical hornyness) that I got me in the situation. I didn't really want to write this report because it's still fresh and don't want to relive that horrible experience, but I think if I can help at least one person from doing what I did, then it's worth it. So here it is:
I booked 8 days at the Mansion (Plaza 1) and my flight arrived late at night, around 11:45pm. I had airport pickup and cost me 70,000 COP ($36 USD). It took about 35 mins to get to the Mansion, pretty much going down the mountains and got to see a decent view of the city from atop. I checked in and went down to the La Cueva and see if there were any girls or action, but being that it was already almost 1am, nothing much was going on. It's my first ever night at MDE, so I needed to get some action! So I took a taxi to La Isla and saw some hot chicas! Very beautiful girls dancing, chilling, and drinking. I'll say about 15-20 chicas. It's pretty much an upscale looking strip club for MDE standards, asked for some quotes. 240K for like 45 mins. No thanks. I'm sure I could negotiate, but didn't feel like it and I just wanted to get couple drinks.
I wanted to check out another area: La Mayorista. I know. I've read a lot about this place and being out there late at night by myself can be tricky or outright dangerous, but I like to venture out and I'm always careful. Nothing much there that got my attention. Not many chicas and talked to a couple and got quoted 40K for 20 mins and I had to pay for hotel room on top. It was basically one long street with girls standing outside ready for service. Not really feeling it, so I decided to go check out what else is available.
Me and the taxi drove around and saw a few SG's. I got one for 40K and asked for BBBJ and she was down. Got to a nearby upscale hotel and got a room for 25K. Everything was going well. She has nice DD's, but a little on the thick side. She asked if her cousin could come and have a 3some and bring some sugar for 30K. I hesitated, but being my first night. I had no sense of self control, so I obliged. Her cousin comes and brings the stuff and we enjoy ourselves. Got BBBJ from both of them.
Things went downhill from there. I drank quite a bit in the airplane, I'll say about equivalent to 5 shots and 2 more drinks at La Isla. Then I bought a small rum bottle for the hotel room, so the alcohol was kicking in for sure. All for the wrong reasons. I have a pretty good tolerance, so I wasn't drunk, but was caught up in the moment. So after the 2 got down on me. And I'm just on cloud 9. Then suddenly, the original is nowhere to be seen. The cousin says she'll be back. Then the cousin says she has to go and I was WTF? She told me to wait for the original girl. So I wait. Then the security guard asked me if it's ok to let her leave. I say, ok. Then I go check my pants (should've done that earlier) and nothing seem missing, but my watch (gucci). Stupid that I took it off in the first place, I thought I must of misplaced it, so I look around and nowhere to be found. I check my wallet and there were some cash there, but way less than what I had before.
They took about $800 worth of US & Colombian money. I rarely have that much cash on me, but I took the money out of the airport ATM and just was in a hurry to leave after I checked in and didn't put most of it in my safe. And that's not the worst of it. My iPhone 5 was stolen. That really was the boiling point. It was my life and even though I'll get a new one with insurance, I was going to use it for taking nice pics / videos. Effing sucks! So I'm just mad at myself because I should've known before and I'm not an amateur monger, but just too over anxious on my first MDE night. No need to feel bad about me. Besides that night, each day / night has been super!
I won't let this experience ruin the rest of my trip. If you ask me, would I still go to MDE if I knew this would happen? I'll say, except for my iphone being stolen, yes! No doubt! Everything that was taken is replaceable.
To let you guys know that I've moved on, last night, took 3 mansion girls and 3 of their friends to a club. Bought a bottle of guaro for 94K and it was enough for a 4 hr dance fest. 90% Colombian / Latino music and 10% American. Lots of super hot babes in that place (F. Ridiculously hot and just the way these girls dress. Unbelievable! One guy with 6 chicas got a lot of attention, but fine by me! Saw a few young gringos trying to game the club girls. Glad I don't need to do that! Almost everyone were in the 18-25 range and I look under 30, so I don't have the old gringo look about me. I'll write up more about my progress later on and I'm sure I missed lots of other details, but for now, back to more fun!

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.

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.
