Medellin Reports

[Mojo Bandit]

Sounds like you had a great time there, well done! I'm surprised you only paid 35 k for the room at the mansion. Last time I was there, they were asking for 85 dollars a night, I didn't have a reservation at the time and I already have a big Airbnb apartment, so I just paid the 50 K entrance fee to the bar.

My only complaint about the mansion are the rooms, they are too basic, but I do love the mirrors though. I wish they have better rooms, I know lots of people are happy to pay 50 dollar extra for an upgraded room.

I think he is talking about a Mansion downtown, not the one in Poblado where gringos stay. The one in Poblado does not have four floors, and there is no park you can look down on.

For sure he is talking about Hotel Mansion downtown on Carrera 43 just northeast of Calle 53 across from Parque del Periodista, Periodista park is a hangout for the local Medellin bohemian crowd, hence his reference to stoners. I have not made it down there yet but it is on my list for next trip. Here is a good Youtube video showing a lively night in Periodista park. This youtube video maker has made some great videos of Medellin from Plaza Botero to Parque Lleras, and some videos showing the talent around the clocktower in Cartagena. I should mention that she does not actually get to Periodista park until about 2:34 in the video.

Just stay at a place with security that checks ID-then its on the front desk security not you. They verified the ID they are used to--you can't be expected to be held responsible if the front desk security checked the ID and sent her up. That's what you are paying to be at that hotel for!. Hotel / apartment security is the way to go. Also, have the security call you and check on you if she leaves the room alone. And let the girl know that's how it works. This isn't that complicated.

Or it can backfire on you and the hotel staff will bribe you. My SA tour guide friend was telling me how she had to help out a gringo in a situation where the chick was caught with fake ID at the hotel. The front desk guy said he was going to call the cops. The way she explained it, if the cops are called you are fucked plain and simple. She said you can pay your way out of having drugs on you but not when there is minor involved. The dude gave the front desk staff 200 K and he was good with that.

Saturday in Barranquilla I put my card in a Bancolombia machine to take out 600K. It gave me some kind of message but no money. I know sometimes when machines in third world countries do that you can select a smaller amount and it will work. So I put my card in again and tried 400K. Still the same thing.

When I got to Medellin yesterday and checked my account, it showed I had taken out $181 (600K) and that $122 (400K) was also taken out at the same machine but reversed. I immediately called Schwab and the lady did whatever to file the dispute. My days of using Bancolombia machines are over.

That's messed up right there. It happened once to me but my checking account did not change in balance. But this is good to know if it ever happens again!

You should get a forum membership so that you can send and receive private messages, guys are not going to post a lot of details about places to stay because they do not want all the lurkers to see it and there be one dumbass who does some stupid shit at the place and ruins it for everyone.

Agree. It only took one monger to screw it up for the rest of you LOL. I will share experiences but not contacts or hotel info. Unless I personally know the guy.

How far in advance before your trip did you start with SA? Seems a bit time consuming as there are faster cheaper options out there. But the results were fantastic for you. LOL.

I was reaching out about 2-3 weeks before my trip. It would have been much easier if I was just looking for a hooker, girls were hitting me up and favoriting me.

But yeah definitely worth it if looking for a non-pro.

I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice for a trip I am planning in the spring. My last trip I stayed in Poblado Plaza which was very nice, but it had a huge fee to check in a guest, 60.00 USD. I am tempted to stay there again because the staff, rooms, location, and convenience were all excellent. Just very pricey compared to many other places in Medellin. I prefer hotels for security, comfort, and amenities while on vacation. I am also very interested in the Dann Carlton Hotel, Energy Apartments, and Blux Apartments. Does anyone know the guest fees for these places. I think I heard Energy and Blux might not have guest fees as they are AIRBNB, but I could be wrong. I noticed Energy is pretty expensive compared to Blux. Is Energy worth the extra money? I also read Energy and Blux can get pretty loud from partying and it can be annoying which would kinda suck. If anyone could offer their opinion on these places that would be really cool. Also if anyone knows of some other hotels in Poblado that they could recommend or comment on, that would be really cool as well. Thanks in advance for responses.

Mongers have stopped going to Asia. Argentina is no more, Sosua is in decline, Rio is in decline; now everyone is headed to Medellin, what's going to happen to my beloved destination?

You’re no dummy, I think you already know the answer to that.

[Balboa]

Just left my favorite casa. Costs 50 for the girl and 12 for the room. I didn't hit a chick, but arranged for one to come all night. She said 250. I said ok, but you pay your babysitter and transportation. She said okay.

Congratulations. You're a shrewd negotiator, LOL.

Go to Centro Comercial Rio Sur on Avenida Poblado. It's across from Oviedo mall. Inside there are 3 legit massage places. OM Spa for men has been reviewed a few times. The Garage Spa, offshoot from the Garage Barber shop is also there, but no reviews that I'm aware of. And then there's Zen Exclusive Spa.

I've been to Zen twice, both times the massage was excellent and both girls were happy with taking care of the little muscle that popped up. Both looked to be early to mid 20's and very attractive.

If I remember correctly, 180 k for the hour, including the happy ending.

There last week and there are 4. LOL. Add to your list Dharma massage. There is a veritable 8+/10 there, I will withhold the name, she is a fine masseuse, and a great looker to boot. She is a dancer and does this as her supporting gig. My order if prioritizing the massages is 1) Zen, 2) dharma 3) Om and 4) Garage. They are all around 90-110 range for the hour of legit massage with about 60 extra if you got additional services ie a Handjob. But unless you just got off the plane and want a release, there are better ways to release in Medellin. LOL.

And for some the cheap little black plastic bags with a touch of glue to sniff, ahhhh that smells like shit.

The Tall Man.

I saw a sniffer today in El Centro without a black plastic bag, the hallmark of a "Sacalero". Instead this guy had the bottle up to his nostrils and was sniffing. I thought about stopping and talking with him and informing him that he would get a much better buzz using a bag with the Toulene fumes being concentrated within the bag resulting in much a higher dosage and high. However, I don't think he would of understood anything I could of said, and he looked infested with scabies and what appeared to be some open sores so I passed on that.

Here's a suggestion for your next romantic get away. It's going to cost a little bit more, but not much.

Hop on the south bound Metro with your current girl. Don't forget the wine and weed. Take it to the Ayura station. From the station walk south along the Autopista for about 2 blocks to Motel Ibiza. Or you could splurge and pay 15 k for the taxi.

The room, depending on what you take from the mini-bar, will cost about 100 k. You'll find real wine glasses, a jacuzzi tub, an incredible shower, a nice sound system, a stripper pole, a love chair and a nice big bed. You have to pay extra after 6 hours, but it's reasonable. Room service is available and I understand the food is good. There are ashtrays in the room, so smoking does happen.

Lacks the culture of Parque de Las periodistas, bit it has it's own charm.

I appreciate your suggestion for my next romantic getaway, but I don't need all the amenities. An amorous nympho, with a sopping silky tight pussy, a vice grip vacuum mouth, and a loving attitude is all I need.

[Surfer500]

You're going to have everyone confused. I used to have a picture of that Mansion, even went inside and checked out one of the rooms.

Yes a few are dazed and confused as evidenced by one of the posts thus far, and should be. But my report was completely factual, and I believe there are actually three Hotels named the Mansion in Medellin.

It's unbelievable as you have noticed how things have changed in El Centro over the past months, specifically at the location of the street sign located at Carrea 52 and Calle 52 which I now refer to as "Little Caracas" which I used to refer to as "Ground Zero". There's so many Venezuelans, and with so many of them being impregnated who are now working the streets, the next thing you will know this information will get around the world that Medellin is the place to find pregnant women to bang, and there will be plane loads of "Pregnant Chica Aficionados" showing up, and apparently we have quite a few here already that are coming out of the closet.
