Cartagena Reports

[Helpmann]

Playa Hoillywood is in front of Hotel Dann, this is where most the working girls are. One row of beach chars and cabanas will have be red with Coca-Cola logo, one row will be a umbrella type canapy with no logo. The Umbrella type is Tony's which I don't recommend you sit in his as a first timer, so sit in Coca.Coloa Cabanas. The girls sit in beach chairs in back row typically but most the other girls to each breakwall are prepagos. The girls aren't going to maul you like they would in Sosua they are more timid waiting for you. If a tout asks you if you want a girl you say no! Then make eye contact with one wave her over to your chair [ don't buy her a Pina Colota its Tony's favorite scam! ], then ask her how much or get her phone number, if you don't have your phone take a picture of her phone number in her phone display. If a guy wants to negociate for you this is when the price doubles...

Great photos and great information.

Thanks,
Helpmann :)

Thanks Hillbilly, I think I can figure it out now. So what's the deal with guys trying to negotiating for chica? Are they actually working with certain chica? Are they being intrusive? Can you wave them off, and deal with the same chica direct? What is the setup there on the playa? Who owns what and who works for who?

Has anybody gone labor day weekend? I hear that it is dead in Cartagena in September and October, but will it be a zoo this weekend because it's an American holiday? Should I book an apartment way in advance?

Can anyone explain to a newbie just how to find these beach girls, without a go-between. I was in Cartagena once and entered the beach in El Laguito walked almost the length of Bocagrande, no Chica did I see that looked for hire.

I did almost the same thing a while back. I also stayed at the Conquestator, and went to the apartment with her and her friend. It was great seeing all the other girls in the apartment. Very good service as I promised them a tip if I was happy with them. I forgot what I paid, but it was in line with the beach girl prices.

Your post brought back some nice memories at a time when I'm stuck in the USA for another 18 days. It could have been less time, but I like to bet on the Derby on May 7th.

I wen to LDV last night.

It was open but with few girls in attendance, not half what I saw in a previous visit.

Picks were slim. I talked to one girl, Gabriela (from Medellin she says.) , brown skin, nice legs, nice thick lips.

Interview was fine, she was fun, friendly, seemed to be a good choice.

Quoted 200k but quickly agreed to 150k. Perhaps could have negotiated even lower price.

Decided to give her a try and went to a motel,

Once in bed she was colder, rushing things. Not a good experience, a mediocre at best.

Would not repeat.

I will try again next week when I hope there will be more options.

Will report

Staying at the Conquetator and at the outdoor bar across the street I took Cloudia As my wingman had the apt. Tied up I went to their place at the Atlantis Apts. That was a trip as There were 4 other girls already there running around half naked. As far as money I could not nail down a set price with them so they said to give them what I thought they were worth at the finish. To me that is always good news since they will always work hard to earn. The amount I paid was 80K each.

Pleyboy is nice place, $100 for girl 45 min.

Went to LDV at 11:00pm and the talent was just arriving. I found the quality about the same as Flores Frescas (Cali) or Face Dos (Medelin) , which is a good thing. I spoke with about 5 women, but didn't get a great vibe from any of them. At first, I was disappointed to find out they are closed Thurs and Fri this week (Easter) , but later realized I probably wouldn't come back on this trip anyway. After LDV, I bounced around the clubs in El Centro (ISIS, Queens, Elektra) which was slightly lower quaity, but more interesting to me than staying at one place (LDV). I found a nice one at Elektra, went to a 20 mil hotel and had a good session for 200 mil (a bit high, but included BBBJ).

One thing about LDV and Elektra I hated was the employees / management. They weren't friendly and were a bit shady. I had a hard time getting my change at Elektra. They seemed really annoyed when I reminded them to bring it.

Thanks to Hillbilly69!

I know what you mean- my first trip to Medellin 12 years ago I was pretty much on my own as far as info.

The Map is getting adjusted continuously but furthest East and South I have been as far as Casas is Pleyclub.

Bocagrande there is way too many different shops, Cambios, Atm's and Hotels to list but

I will add a few as I see fit.

I also did not list the new disco right next to the LDV, I don't remember the name but don't see the point seeing it just seems to take the overflow from LDV.

Dude!

My 7 years of experience traveling to Cartagena just got equalized by your map.

But seriously, nice job. Wish I would have had one of those 7 years ago.

Will put this map to good use next week. Kudos!

[Dos Lunas]

Mountain Guy.

Excellent trip report on your recent visit. Lindas Chica and Queens sounds like a fun place which I will definitely check out next week.

Kdog. Great observation on the scene there.

Bolman. Nice details on LDV.

I arrived at around 1 pm today. The flight, immigration line, taxi ride, and hotel check-in were all much faster than my trips to Cali and Medellin. I'm amazed at how many gringos are here. I can spot one on every street I walk down and I'm staying in El Centro.

I checked out the beach girls from about 2:30pm-3:30pm. The talent was good. I decided to pass since my hotel was so far away. Next time, I'll stay closer to the action. I checked out the daytime street action on Media Luna, but it's really bottom of the barrel. Worth seeing once.

Couple of positive surprises: 1. The heat didn't bother me too much today because of the breeze. Cali without the ocean breeze feels just as hot to me if not hotter. 2. I didn't get bothered too much by people trying to sell stuff. Walking down Av Sexta in Cali, I get pestered about the same amount.

Couple of disappointments: 1. The average girl you see in the mall or on the street hasn't been as good as Medellin or Cali. 2. Have to put up with dirty looks from foreign women who catch me checking them out. One thing I love about Colombians and Brazilians, they want you to look.

I'm heading out to LDV in a couple hours. I'll report tomorrow.

Hi,

I visited LDV one night. Just to explore given the no-visitors rule in my hotel.

Went around 11:30 pm, nice setup, several pretty girls and good vibe in the place.

More girls than fellows which is always good.

Beer price was 10k, perhaps overcharged by the bartender?

Talked to a couple of girls, one started with 200 k, then went down to 170k for 2-3 hours. She was a 7 or 7. 5 for me, was really tempted by the offer.

LAter talked to another that quoted 300 k for 1 hour, did not negotiate, she was pretty a 8. 5 but had not a friendly attitude as lady 1.

Since I will be staying for some months in CArtagena, I will be moving to an apartment next week, then I hope to be able to explore and report more details.

If anybody would like to meet, I would be glad to do so and share some beers and experiences.

The information in the board, the map and all are fantastic!

Hope I can help somehow with my report.

Greetings
