Medellin Reports

[Aussie Greg]

Hilly,
He wasn't my "best friend" never was, he was fired for stealing, from guests and the hotel.
I just don't know why people make up shit.
The new club, it will be interesting how it goes, happy days.

Dollhouse and Alamo both were supposed to be puta bars. Been in both while they were open. More to the Dollhouse story thsn I know but it was not filled with girls as people hoped although thete was some lookers. Alamo had Gregs former best friend the bouncer from the Mansion as security at Alamo and showed me the putas. A few lookers but druggies. What was wrong with their business plans? Certainly both places were too much in your face instead of incognito. I hope Barrio Colombia works for them as a location and they do well.

You make a good point.

I'm no businessman, don't pretend to be, don't want to be.

Sounds like a great idea though and I hope it works out for them, us, me and the chicas as well. 👍👍

Looking at some of the websites, it appears that there is much talent (and beauty) on many of the escort websites. First, I have no idea if the escort sites are reliable. Assuming reliability, the prices seem comparable to the clubs and bars.

I am one who does not like bars. If I can meet chicas through the websites, am I not better off than having to go the clubs and

Bars? As mentioned above, it does not appear to be much discrepancy in prices.

I would love to hear your thoughts regarding the usage of the escort websites.

I don't know about all websites but Masajista paisas and paisa divinas are reliable. Most of these girls have apartments to you can also go see them and walk away if you do not like what you see.

Well I'm not one to downplay the potential dangerous side of Colombia, however, I'm sure this new LDV type bar will employ security, payoff policia for keeping an eye out, radio taxi availability, etc, etc.

These guys, the owners of the club, I'm sure aren't total idiotas.

I mean I wouldn't pick up a chica there then have her call her taxista friend for transportation.

I frequently check out this forum, in hopes of enticing myself to finally visit Medellin. I'm contemplating a two night visit to Medellin from Cartagena this month. Medellin being such a big city Leaves me feeling worried of being lost upon my arrival. It seems like for someone such as myslef, the best course of action would be to book a room at La Mansion. But I'm having lots of trouble finding this place. I can't find a number or an email me tha allows me to get in contact with anyone. I'm hoping if someone can help me out and point me in the right direction. Also, I'm wondering if anyone has made a map similar to that of hillbilly's of Cartagena. I hope for a lot of feedback. Thanks.

There you find all the information needed, this is new name of the Mansion

Isn't that both a bad thing as well? We can both agree that Medellin is no Cartagena. Plop an LDV-styled club in the middle of Medellin and now all the "banditos" know where to go get gringos and their gold at. Are they planning to put tourist police around the place who will escort your taxi back to your apartment or hotel to ensure that you don't get robbed on the way back?

The good thing about the Mansion is that it is low-key. You can grab a girl and take her to up to your room or up the hill to HMP 2. It is also situated in a wealthy neighborhood with security lingering around the entire neighborhood (for different residences).

Even gringos who visit El Centro at night are mostly surrounded by broke-to-average income Colombianos (if they had money they would be at La Isla, Fase II, Luna Lunera, etc.) , so none of the thieves are hanging around there expecting to rob anyone and expecting to receive a huge payout.

Don't know why you would want to willingly paint a target on yourself by setting up a "BIG MONEY GRINGOS INSIDE" type of place in Medellin. And in what Barrio? If it gets set up in some place like Las Palmas or anywhere near Poblado (I doubt it) , then maybe gringos will not have much to worry about in the way of safety. If any of you are familiar with Clasicos in Sosua (when it was open and pre-crack down) , you know that all of the hustlers in Sosua would hang around the entrance watching who is going in and coming out. But then again, Sosua has a heavy tourist police presence.

But the truth of the matter is mongering works in Medellin because it is kept under the radar (which is why the mansion has been successful). They didn't tell Greg to place a tarp over his pool and make everyone clear the pool area by 6pm for nothing.

Hats off to them if they can pull it off. I'd be the first to say I would like to see another freelance type of bar that would rival the old Help Disco (Rio) and Clasicos in Sosua. But if it is going to compromise my safety while there then I will pass.

Please, Mr SavePros321.

Enough of the bullshit mate, nobody has told the hotel to do anything.

Quote "They didn't tell Greg to place a tarp over his pool and make everyone clear the pool area by 6pm for nothing "Un quote".

The reason why the hotel put a cover (retractable) over the pool is because. In the afternoon 2-3pm till around 6pm, there are many apartments / offices now overlooking our swimming pool, yes, we like to keep low key and this is one way off being out of eye sight a little. People can still sun them selves and we still have parties poolside.
Now the reason why the bar "La Cueva" was built in the old garage was because guests could party more, yell, scream, play music loud, dance ect other than do all that at poolside and late into the night.
The hotel has had the bar project on the cards for more than 4 years, the hotel finally got of there ass and built it which is a very good addition to the hotel.
First BBB didn't want to have anything to do with it, no problems, it was left to MB and A. G.
Now I spent money getting the bar up and ready helping MB, then one day I woke up and said MB, its all yours mate, I'll help you get it up and running but its all yours, its your baby, and La Cueva was born.
Nobody told us, no more parties around the pool. All changes, rules ect have been made by the hotel.
The hotel also has a dress shop and in the future will have a hair salon, but nobody is talking about that.
Now the newly proposed LDV style club in Medellin has nothing to do with the hotel, I have just heard people talking about it, I wish them luck
Happy days.

I had the same exact thought go through my head when I first heard about this place. Every ladron in Medellin will be licking his chops and hooking up with a taxi driver to knock off the drunk assed gringos coming out of this place. I'll continue to lay low in little ol' Manizales.

[El Bacano]

I think there will never be a full gringo invasion in Colombia because of the danger.

[SavePros321]

However, this new place (LDV style) will attract lots of gringos, and most working chicas know that gringos pay good and sometimes foolish money for chocha, and the word will get out about this place.

You are one of the few that have been to Medellin pre Mansion era when the hot free lancers combed San Diego Mall at night so you know what the deal is. I don't think this freelance puta bar is going to work yo well unless the chicas come from outside of Medellin. Girls hook in anynimity if possible where the risk of running into a family member. Look at the Alamo bat in Lletas. No risk of running into their family in the Mansion or in a private apartment with a gringo. Some girls just hooked in Cartagena before the Romance Latina. MM came along.

Well, the only thing that having frequented Medellin pre Mansion days, is make me an expert on remeniscing about the 'good ole days' before the gringo invasion in Medellin hahaha.

You make a good point about chicas not wanting their family members to find out what they're up to, and this new place will probably lose some chicas who fear this.

However, this new place (LDV style) will attract lots of gringos, and most working chicas know that gringos pay good and sometimes foolish money for chocha, and the word will get out about this place.

I think this could very well be a Field of Dreams for both working chicas looking for easy gringo money and gringos just looking to grab hot chicas and run, no fuss of paying multas, having to have a room at the hotel, etc like at Face Dos, Mansion, etc.

The interesting thing will be whether chicas decide to do the Mansion thing, where guys' rooms are just upstairs from the bar, making it much easier to do multiple tricks, or to hang out at the new place where a guy will have to drag them to their apartment, which unlike LDV Cartagena, it won't just be a short walk up the road.

However, this new place will have many more gringos who have access to enter, so many more potential customers to select them, so many gringos who'll pay good pesos for them.

I just have this feeling that this place has great potential for success.

Lots and lots of hot chicas in Medellin who will succumb to the availability of the gringo $$.

Should be fun, and I'm looking forward to participating and watching this new chapter in Medellin mongering unfold.

[Hillbilly69]

Wow!

This will be the biggest thing in Medellin since the Bandeja Paisa hehehe!

I wish you guys luck in jumping through all the Colombian hoops to get this place up and running.

I know nothing about what regulatory hoops or payoffs it takes to get this done, but I imagine there are a at least a few.

Congrats and good luck!

I'm sure I'll be one of the horndogs adding to your profits.

We are hoping to open in July, but this is Mde so you never know.

Well, I will be making my first visit to Mde (2nd to Colombia) over a few days in mid-July, so I wish you success in meeting your timetable. As you say, you never know, so I won't be surprised if I don't get to stop by.
