Medellin Reports

[AmorPorFavor]

That's a good deal. I've never seen a Davivienda ATM asking for approval of a transaction fee. Maybe you are referring to the conversion rate (which you should decline), or maybe your are thinking of another bank. I rarely use any ATM other than Davivienda's. When I do use another bank's ATM, they ask me to accept or decline the transaction fee. Maybe the undisclosed fee that appeared in January was rescinded. That would be good. I haven't made a withdrawal in a couple of weeks so there is hope my information is out of date.

I used the Davienda on 43rd in late January. They did not ask about approving a transaction fee nor did it show on my receipt. I know that they did charge a 15 m fee because Schwab refunded it to me.

Was this the Lexi that had her own ad?? I saw a Lexi a few times that was mentioned here some time ago. She did nuru. Had seen her 2 times after that. Last time I was in Medellin she didn't answer and I just chalked it up as her not working. Wondering if this is the same Lexi. I know she had her own place but I had her come to Energy for outcall each time.

Be.

I saw her twice in August of 2023. Her whatsapp profile says Robert. I haven't message since then but maybe she's out of the game?

If this is true, I made money at the Davienda ATM. After adding in the 15,000 COP, the rate I received on the smaller withdrawals would have been over 4000:1 and the official rate hasn't been over 4000:1 since Dec of 2023. Schwab refunded every bit of the ATM transaction fees, like they always do. I also remember every ATM asking me if I am ok with their transaction fee and I always agree to it because I know that Schwab will refund it. So unless there is another transaction fee that they don't tell me about, like the 15,000 COP you are talking about, I am not charged for it and it does not affect my exchange rate.

Davivienda began assessing the 15,000 peso per transaction fee last month. Its ATMs don't disclose the fee. You can back it out of the exchange rate applied to withdrawals by adding 15,000 pesos to the amount of pesos the ATM distributes. The 10 or so times I've made withdrawals so far this year the exchange rate I've gotten from Davivienda ATMs matched almost exactly with official rate you can look up on the Internet once you add 15,000 pesos to the amount you receive. My point is you should check whether Schwab is refunding you 15,000. That might not be the case because the Davivienda transaction fee is cleverly embedded in the exchange rate. Other banks' ATMs call out the fee.

Gustos is only a bar or club, the girls there are all independent. So it is not like a strip club or a casa or anything. So what you experienced is all that is offered there. The girls you interact with there may be working girls, probably most are, and they ask for US dollars or high end prices just because they can in that environment, but the house as far as I know is not involved in any way.

I'm Hispanic so I guess I kind of blend in. But I've never been quoted prices in dollars there. Last time I went chica quoted me 800 k for all night. I offered 500 k and she accepted. Great service. Maybe they only quote gringos in dollars LOL.

Last year I visited Loutron on a Friday night. Probably 25 girls there who made an individual presentation. There was a notepad and pencil to write down the ones I preferred. Many were trashy with tattoos, thick, and plain fat. I picked a slim one. Paid the cash fee. Got into the room and she started the upsell. No kissing, no pussy licking, no BBBJ unless more money. Very sad. Waste of time to go there.

YMMV on every girl.

Are the beds still mattresses on the floor. I don't like those; does not allow for certain positions. Energy is like that as well.

I don't agree it's a waste to go there. Sure it can be like you said and I'll agree that the majority of the girls there is not so hot, but oftentimes there are at least a couple of hot ones. Problem is that especially on busy days like Friday's, the hot ones might be occupied. So yeah, chances are better at la Isla, but still, Loutron is quite nice IMHO. And I don't think there's a casa out there with hotter girls than at Loutron.

Well the house is only involved in that they know most of the girls. If any of them cause their clients problems (steal something or worse), even at their apartment or wherever and the client complains, then the girl will have a serious problem. Other than that I don't think there's any way the house is involved. But yeah it's just like you described, Gustos is a place where you can chat up to hot women to see what they offer. And because the house tries to regulate it a bit, as described above, I think it's generally safer to pick up a girl there than a random girl in Lleras, which nowadays can definitely bring risks to the table ...

Last time I went (about a month ago), there seemed to be a large amount of very young looking girls inside the gated part of the park. I know they are ID'd to get in but quite a few of them made me think, there is no way she is over 18 - some of them look disturbingly young. I wanted to know what you guys have noticed in regards to this?

I've been to Colombia (and some other countries) a lot of times but last trip was my first deciding to step into Gustos. The women I met inside showed me their menu, which mostly seemed like me buying tables and bottles for them to sit with me. I left without spending a single cent (outside of the entry fee of course). I know Gustos has been discussed here but I didn't get the appeal at all. Don't get me wrong, there are beautiful women in there but if all you are doing is spending money to sit with them then its dumb.

Also, I have never been to Loutron. Does it offer a better experience than Spa Fantasias Energy? Might check it out just to see.

And Argentina, and Paraguay.

Maybe in Argentina and Paraguay and obviously in Mexico but not in Colombia. In Colombia it means to take or grab.

That's good to know thanks. I'm kind of surprised about both places being fairly quiet inside the rooms. Maybe not surprised about Loutron since it's not a strip club where they have blasting music. But to hear that rooms at La Isla are fairly quiet surprises me. I would assume that the rooms at Fase Dos being a strip club would also be quite noisy. I guess the rooms at La Isla are located far enough from the loudspeakers. I've been to some places where the rooms were too close or not sound proofed enough and felt like I was still on the main floor where the music was playing which I personally find distractive during a session.

Fase 2 rooms are also quiet because they are located in the building next door.

[JjBee62]

Thanks for this info. Yes from the maps it looks fairly easy enough to take the Metro and walk a bit to New Life and Energy during the daytime hours. Will be doing the same for the touristy stuff too like visiting Parque Botero (same station as for New Life visit), Comuna 13 on same line as to Energy and doing the cable cars up to Parque Arvi. But for Loutron, La Isla and Fase Dos, those are better with Uber or cab especially if I visit them at night.

From Hotel M (mansion) there are two stations I can access even though there is a bit of a walk to them and they look equal in terms of distance = Poblado and Aguacatala.

If you visit Las Islas or Fase 2 in the daytime you'll just be standing outside of a closed and locked building. Generally not worth arriving before 11 pm at either.

Yes, Aguacatala and Poblado stations are about the same distance from Hotel M. However, both are a long way downhill and the walk back up can be daunting.

Coger definitely means "to fuck" in Colombia as well.
