Hotel Haven has heated pool. I believe Click Clack and Charlie pools are heated too.

The majority of the swimming pools in the larger Hotels in Medellin are heated. If they weren't, than what would be the point of having one.

The largest Hotel pool in Medellin is at the Intercontinental Hotel. It's a full on Olympic size pool and is very wide, meaning more than just a few lanes, and it's heated of course. So for guys looking for a pool to swim laps in, well this is the place, albeit the location isn't the greatest.

Another option is the Landmark Hotel in Manila, albeit the pool length is not Olympic in length, about 22 yards, but will suffice, and I have stayed there. They probably have the longest roof top pool in Medellin, however it's quite narrow, only about three lanes wide.

Additionally, all of the public swimming pools in Medellin are heated like at Estadio, Bellen, and other sport centers around the City.

Another option is the water park adjacent to the local airport. They have several pools, and a few of them are heated, albeit the main wave pool is not.

Also, showering before entering the pool and wearing a swim cap is required at most places.

My thoughts on this, well first off, it's obvious that you haven't RTFF going back a at least a few months.

Granted there is a huge backlog of posts to read, but you will not achieve what you want to do in five days, and you will only scratch the surface here with all the mongering venues, and unless you have some Spanish speaking skills it's going to be tough, and if you think a translator is going to handle any language issues, well good luck with that.

Your probably better pressed to stay at the Mansion, and hire a driver / guide to take you around.

This is my recommendation for a maiden voyage only lasting five days.

I'm not trying to be an asshole about this, but you asked, and this is my advice to you.

Some guys show up here, and think since they've mongered all over the world like you that it might be a cakewalk here.

Well it won't be until you've spent a fair amount of time here.

What you would like to achieve on your maiden voyage is akin to a wet dream.

Sorry to be so blunt about this, but you asked for thoughts and advice and hopefully you have thick skin.

Good Luck!

Yep, I gotcha, no offense taken. I wouldn't have posted had I been cocky enough to think I could fly through this by just going back 50 pages (and intermittent reading over the last couple years). Every bit of turf is different, I think past debauchery gives me a leg up, but again, I'm tip toeing for those 5 days. Realistically I have little chance of being able to come often or for much more that 5-7 days considering my work and relationship status. But I have had many successful misadventures off the strength of experience and researching these forums. My Spanish is suuuper far from fluent but it's also smooth enough to not be labeled as basic. I've successfully navigated all types of transactional / simple relationship building convos. Small talk stuff with a sprinkle Joe of charm.

Unfortunately the mansion just isn't a realistic option. I'm there for work, so my daily schedule is sporadic and mongering is second priority. This stacks the odds up against me even further. But, I think what I'm gathering is: keep your expectations reasonable. Maybe my goal is just to find one gem that I can get some solid rocks off with and maybe some footage for memory's sake. I feel like aiming for anything more is unreasonable. After all, I'm all.

Of the experiences before it's hard to really be bat over. 500 as far as memorable, enjoyable, repeatable experiences wishing the span of a few days to a week in any American city or trip abroad. So if I secure 4 in 5 days with yield 1 gen I think that'll be a success. The experience helps with those initial vibe checks. Inexperience tends to lead many to believe that a girl who's initial attitude isn't great could still yield a great experience. I don't care how hot the chick is, if the attitude aint right, I walk away.

Thanks for the words, all this stuff is getting filed under the "don't forget what your Colombian monger fore fathers taught you" section of the brain.

I'll prob be the guy in centro starting tomorrow to beat you to that fresh cutie in the corner. I go hard in centro for day action and have evening date w fancier ladies from dating sites, non pros. After mde centro your next destination should be santa fe Bogota, even better. Yes you'll enjoy La Isla for some decent qualities. Honestly the best Medellin has to offer imo is from seeking (sugar daddy site), that's where I get my gems and that's likely where you'll meet local indie college cuties new too hookie willing to get filmd and take photos. Many of them thinks they're models hence the model shots from their profiles. That's a lot to do in 5 days, but if you're really a street dude once you hit el centro and some casas or clubs around centro you'll feel right at home and will likely forget those high maintenance hawkers. Since at times they ask for a lot, and def you won't have enough days for the non pro games since those sometimes wants to be wined and dined and no sex on first date LOL, No money exchanged either. Those dates are usually fine with me, that's how my spend my luxury time in between nuts on vaca, plus I don't have to eat alone, in the company of a beautiful 8+, non rushed, good convo, wine, and no money for sex or directly for sex when we got to that. If you see someone who looks like a real hunter in centro it's me LOL. Have fun.

Hahahaha. My guyyyy! I actually haven't heard anything of seekers, sounds pretty juicy. I really am getting the vibe that the non pros are pretty mean, some Spanish, natural charm, decent looks, and some personality can go a long way. A big part of me really gets into the type of chase involved in navigating the streets trying to find that gem (looks, good attitude, skilled) but that gray area puta chase, where the lines are blurred (semi pro, new to the hook game, actual civilian chicks etc): you're out at dinner, you're pouring on the charm, and trying to f'and earn the pussy. Fun stuff. We all know pussy hits different when you have to play your cards right and earn the prize. It can never fully compare to blatant transactional sex. It's just different. But, that second kind of chase is hard cause if your time on the ground is limited (like you said) and the fact I've got a lady here in the states. If I was single I'the be scared that Medellin suck me in whole, long term.

I'll be honest, this thread on particular is pretty entertaining to read because of how wide the range is amongst the contributors. I've literally laughed out loud at the dudes defending the street scene on one end and dudes bragging about spending too dollar to bag 9's / 10's and how you can't have an excellent session unless you have a relationship (or some non sensical stuff). I feel like a mix of a lot of these types of mongers.

Stoked to share the tales. I've got work out there, and the colleagues I'm with may be hip to game, at least on knowing what goes down in MDE but I'm just going to keep it all on the DL and slide out on the solo. I reckon some late morning centro strolls to start, a casa or two by day two, and a La isla later in the trip, as kind of a cherry on top. Happy hunting why'all.

Location is good. Pool on the roof is small, but not bad. For me, bed was way too hard. I'm a side sleeper and that bed f'd up my shoulders quite a bit in only 4 nights. I stayed at the Landmark hotel one night when I got stuck in MDE (cancelled flight). I really like that hotel. Comfortable bed, great pool, nice staff. But I am not sure if they are chica friendly. I did not try.

It sounds complicated. I guess it is a good option if you have to be within walking distance of Parque Lleras. I always take everything I read on tripadvisor with a grain of salt.

Hopefully this may help those with Check-Mig issues:

Don't use any 3rd party sites. Go directly to the Colombian site, migracion (no space) Colombia. Gov. Co / Click on check-mig banner, then click on another check-mig banner.

Once on the main page, you can select English on top as an option. Then normally you would click on the left link "Realice su Check-Mig" but don't do that yet.

First Register by clicking on the middle link "Viajero Frecuente" and actually register. This will basically create an acct, you'll need your email and choose a password.

After that you can login, and then registration and will be super smooth, you can take a screenshot of the confirmation page (don't forget to click accept), and an email confirmation will be sent to you which is what you show at the Airport.

BTW, when you input flight number, just use the number and don't input the airlines prefix.

True story about Check-mig process. A good friend of mine missed his flight because he could not find United states under country of origin. Please look for Estados Unidos even in the English version of the app. Sounds silly but for a first timer it can be frustrating.

I did my Check Mig today. It took me a moment to figure out what was going on when I couldn't find US in the list. I guess they translated the page, but not the drop down options. I read somewhere that the app sucks, so I just used my PC.

You have to be careful to select the right airport as well. It's easy to click Olaya by mistake and then the flight number won't return a result. Colombian web sites follow the Colombian pattern of unnecessary complexity.

Correct. There are hardly any heated pools in MDE. NIght temps average 17 C so you can imagine how cold the water gets. I need a thick wetsuit to swim in that. Best pool in MDE that I know of is the Dann Carlton. Big, warm, holiday ambience.

One is anyone have problems with check mig, I am leaving tonight to Medellin, it keeps crashing when I enter the flight number.

Also is ok to take money out of the ATM at the airport or wait untill to get to your hotel.

I prepaid for taxi / shuttle to the hotel.

It's been a while since I last came to Colombia.

Thanks.

[Vitrea]

Word of advice. Do not use check-mig app. Use the website. All popular browsers should work just fine.

I use Duckduckgo but Safari or Chrome are OK too.

Bancolombia ATM at the airport is fine. Same as any other ATM in town. 600,000 each withdrawal.

Have fun.

ATM at the airport is good to use and check-mig always gives me problems on my apple computer.

[Mr Enternational]

Thats a poor analogy though. You would help a person presumably bcos you care about that person. That person might need help whthere you there or not. Its like helping a friend out.

We are talking about mongers and presumably hookers though. Nobody is sending money to random people to be nice or they like their style. They are sending money to people they plan on fucking, have fucked, plan on fucking again. Maybe I am wrong and a bunch of guys are sending money to chicks they have never and do not plan on having sexual contact with. That is when I would call it helping a friend out.
