Medellin Reports

[Vitrea]

Save pro,

No jabs taken. I know you are giving your sincere opinion. I understand your logic about rooms and bar entry. I do believe that the new policy at HMP is to let outside guests in with a cover. See posts two pages back and the post in response to my last one. The staff at HMP know better than to pocket the 50K.

Also, you are an astute reader. I was staying in one of the apartments close to Illeras. A bit of a long story why it was 10k. That does include a 2K tip and I always tip for decent to good service. Only time I dont tip is when I run into a total asshole which is extremely rare in MDE.

I had several pMs about this casa. See address in my last post.

The girls are primarily on the masajista paisa web site, and the talent seem to overlap with the offerings at paisa divinas. I plan to research this during my next trip. As far as I can tell, the set up is similar to other casas where most girls (I think) set their schedules. The big difference is the over all quality of girls is slightly better but the ambiance / facility is dramatically better. Also, almost all the girls do house callsat150, 000 to 180, 000.

last saturday i decided to check out the bar at mansion. the irony is that i stayed at cb 2 for three days in december and i did not go to the bar or see any mansion girls, as i was busy with my own hook ups. since all the discussion about the bar and cubanut's photos recently, i decided to check it out. i got there at 7:15 since the reports said the bar opens at 6. i was not allowed in. i explained to the guy at the door that on the "internet" there are posts saying that they are now allowing outsiders for a cover charge. the guy at the door called out to another guy that is getting ready to leave on a motorcycle. he stopped and said that information is completely wrong and those were his exact words. i said if it is wrong information, i do not have a problem with it, i even understand the reasoning but one of the owners should correct mis information. i told him i stayed at cb1 and cb2 several times and i am not here to try and my find my way in for free. the guy on the motorcycle then says, ok then it is 70, 000 pesos. i had a question mark expression on my face, trying for second if he said 7, 000 and i heard it as 70, 000. he confirmed it is 70, 000. then the guy at the door shouts back,"no it is 50, 000 peso". the guy on the motorcycle says,"ok. it is 50, 000". i said, listen amigos,"a report 10 days ago said 15, 000 pesos on weekday sand 30, 000 on weekends". the door guy says it went up. 50, 000 on weekends and 30, 000 on weekdays. 50, 000 is steep but i have noting better to do for another two hours before my favorite clubs get going. i have already paid 10, 000 to the taxi to get there. i decided to suck it up and pay to see what is up with the bar. the door guy collects 50, 000 and warns me in no uncertain terms that i need to head straight to the bar and i am not to linger in the foyer or go toward the pool or any other areas. ok boss. as i was walking down to the bar, i managed to glance around (against the rules) and saw couple of 7-8s in the foyer.

down in the bar, i was the only guy for the next hour and fifteen minutes. there were six to seven girls, average looking but young looking, almost all of them looked under 20. i know that staff at mansion is very strict with cedulas so i am never worried about **** issues there. during my stay there, the music was mellow (obviously as it was too early to be jamming) but over all the energy was not there. girls would peek in and see that there is only one guy chatting with one or two girls, linger for a bit and leave. i bought a 11, 000 vodka for myself and two baileys for two different girls, chatted with them on the outdoor swing for a while and left. on my way out i saw guys and girls hanging out in the lobby and in the sofas next to the pool exit socializing and drinking with few girls who, by the way, never showed up in the bar.

bottom line: for me 50, 000 to get into this bar was not worth it. i will not do it again. for others, please make your own judgement.

this is in no way a jab at your report vitrea. i believe you may have been given bad intel. but here is my thoughts on this:

the fact that they told you "that information is completely wrong" actually makes sense. why would any guy ever book another room at the mansion again if they can just pay 30k-50k to visit the bar? they've got some rooms going for as high as 212,000k pesos per night. if this was true that you can stay elsewhere and just pay to visit the bar, they would lose all of their bookings overnight. the door guy just probably pocketed that money for himself and gave you a pass since you mentioned you were a previous guest.

hmp1 and 2 make their money on the beds. the chicas are an added bonus of staying there, and the bar is an excellent addition. i understand that you were busy with your own hook ups back in december when you stayed at hmp 2, but you really missed out on the vip aspect afforded to you by staying with them. nothing like walking down the hill to hmp 1, getting buzzed in at the gate, going down to the bar to have a drink and scope out the chicas, finding one and then marching back up the hill to hmp 2 to your room with the chica, (once finished) then head back down to the bar and look for another romp if you are up to it.

the talent can be hit or miss, which is why it works better if you are staying there because you can visit each night and come and go as much as you like. not to mention that you can also hang by the pool during the day. i caught two different chicas (on two different days) who were at the mansion for the first time before they even got a chance to go into the bar. they had some real gems when i was there. some of the chicas i banged that the mansion invited over still have not turned up in the fb / mansion prepago circle or even in any of their newsletters they send out.

out of curiosity: where are you staying in medellin to where your taxi fare is coming out to 10k to get to poblado? it's been on average about 8.5k from poblado to el centro (just using that as a reference to say it seems that you are a bit far out from lleras and poblado). was this location selection strategic (to put you closer to the strip clubs and casas)?

i have stayed at mansion several times in the past and i only had positive reports. i now stay in apartments with barry or rich and i am very happy with those also. seems like most of our friends are splitting hairs and it is hard to go wrong with any of the three above choices. actually, you have to have a really black cloud over your head to have a bad time mongering in mde, no matter what you do. personally, i prefer to report and leave the judgments to the experts.

i went to luna lunera, pulled a tln and had a fantastic time but that is for another report.

to the owners: you have every right to charge whatever you want and obviously you are not making any promises or guarantees that we "will have fun", but please correct pricing and policy misinformation and if you happen to see it misstated on this forum. thank you.

same thing happened to me, although i was a guest there. i had another friend from another board that i met and had some dinner with at the oviedo. my friend never been to the mansion in his trips to medellin and was curious about it and thought it would be ok. he was charged 30k as well, at least there was some consistency lol.

i think when we went there, there was only 2 girls in there. my friend felt ripped off and said he will never stay there.

i was more disappointed on saturday night there was 0 girls in there the whole night.

[Towelboy2010]

I am a senior member who began mongering in South East Asia in 2003. What an adventure that 1st trip was!

I am planning a trip later this spring, with a buddy, to either the Dominican Republic or Columbia (Cartagena & Medellin).

For about four months now I have been reading the forums and still have not made up my mind on the best choice. Tho I am leaning towards Columbia. I am thinking those who may have been in SEA and the DR & Columbia can steer me in the right direction.

I am 58, American, no Spanish ability (tho I am taking an adult 'Ed course on conversational Spanish). I am most familiar with the monger scene in the Philippines (read GFE) and have had great success there. I loved going to the LA Café in Manila and picking up the girls one or 2 at a time. Ha ha ha.

I generally get 2. 3 girls over the course of the evening. The most I had was 5 in one night in Angeles City (1-2-2). For instance, it sounds like at Blackbeards in the DR, that they roll up the streets by midnight when I am just getting started. I am friendly, cheerful and easy going and seldom get rejected. I search more for "chemistry" than looks. I watch my money, but don't pinch it either, generally staying with market rates.

If I went to Columbia, I would probably use Fabio in Cartagena and stay at the Mansion in Medellin.

I am a former band member so I do like to party (cola) and that is one thing Columbia offers that the others do not tho I am years out of practice now anyway.

I will continue to read, but experienced advice is welcome at this point.

Thanks, Bob

I called them earlier and asked them and they told me that the price was indeed correct. Too bad you didn't pull the trigger.

Only reason I didn't pull the trigger for myself because I had already purchased my ticket last month thinking it was the best deal. I learned to be patient from now on.

I tried to get my co-workers to buy the tickets in the morning, but they said they will buy them later in the day. In the afternoon I told them what happen, so they checked and the prices were back to normal. Now they're kicking themselves in the a$$ for not acting quicker.

Maybe it will happen again, just got to have some luck.

"Wendy INC",

She's just brought a 500 acre farm not to far from Santa Fe de Antioquia, hoping to open a "dude ranche" in the future.

A. G.

P. S.

We have just lost the cricket here in India 4. 0, the worst Australian performance in 40 years, onto Bangladesh.

I got to say "Good For Her" 500 Acres of land out there in Santa Fe Antioquia. At $150K-$200K a dude. Who's good at math? I'm pretty sure that equals a BUNCH of Dicks! LOL!

She earns style points for breaking the usual mold of girl saying "I want to open a clothing store, nail salon / hair cut place, comida rapida, and the BIG idea for entrepreneurs in Colombia Taxi business! Dream big =Win Big! Good for her!

[Smokers Rule]

The systems get screwy sometime. I once landed a deal that took me to Santiago, Chile with a stopover in Bogota for $270. Taxes included. (I think it was all taxes.)

They honored it!

[Manizales911]

I just checked AA this afternoon and all the prices are back to the usual $1000 and up. Must have been a fluke.

That is the correct price and yes, they will honor it. Funny because BOS-MDE on those same dates is $850, usually I can get something for around $550.

Either American Airlines website is acting up again or they trying to troll really hard. I was just looking for tickets for my friend and this price shocked me. If I haven't bought my ticket last month I would of jump on that price, but wondering if someone bought purchase that ticket would AA cancel the reservation or would they have to honor the reservation?

Aside from the fact that you have 20 hour layover in Miami going there. They have some cheap flights lately but the flight times and layovers are horrible! That price is legit. A couple of years ago, flights to MDE were in the 400 range.
