Cartagena Reports

[AHighlander]

Juan Carlos, Chino, & Yankee all work under Tony at Hollywood, which is now shifted one section north of their normal spot. You should be able to ask any of the touts for Chino or Yankee. Tell them Blanquito sent you.

Be aware, it's tough times for all, and you need to know the costs of everything. If not, they'll show up with some bill at 430 p that you think is overpriced, and there you are on the beach haggling for no reason. Juan Carlos was messaging me yesterday asking for $20 to buy his family dinner for his birthday. I had just sent him 150.000 COP to settle an outstanding beach tab of maybe 100.000-120.000.

They can also set you up with a boat to the islands, which I highly-recommend. They'll load up a cooler with whatever you want, meet you at the dock, and accompany you for the day. Depending on your level of Spanish, it might be wise to have some one with you for all the haggling, ordering lunch in Cholon, communicating with the boat captain, etc. With the current exchange rate, and all-day trip is less than $400 USD for the private boat, gas, all the beer / etc you can drink, and lunch (I always buy lunch for the crew).

Anyone interested can PM me for contact info. I don't know if they're any better or cheaper than the other touts, but they're good guys and attentive.

Great info, thanks for that.

I've heard things are still pretty locked down in Colombia but it should be opening up by start of December. Have you checked out the Clock Tower at all? Interested if it's back in action properly now.

So am I correct in understanding that Yankee works with Tony and Juan Carlo and Chino have their own bars?

I was recently there, and can shed light on my personal experience. I rented via AirBnB. It was a large building in the walled city, behind Cafe del Mar. The owner made a point to say no unregistered visitors, or parties, because of COVID. It was a family type spot, no other gringo renters from what I could see. I registered 2 girls. One traveled with me, the other was her local friend. I wasn't with the girl the first time she came in. When we arrived, it was the show up in a taxi with luggage, have your temperature checked, confirm the rental reservation, grab the keys, and go. Every time, and there was many, that the girl walked in with us, there was no checking of anything; no questions. She often arrived solo to meet us, and again, no inspection. So, although I didn't attempt it, I would think bringing an unregistered girl back would have been ok. Now, again, this is not the typical gringo-rental type of place, so maybe it would normally be more strict, but has temporarily become less strict. If you know Tony, maybe you could ask him to have some one check with the porteria or front desk of buildings you are considering. Boots on the ground intel.

As far as Hollywood, HOLLYWOOD is not open. The section next to it is, and that is where they have condensed 3-4 of the normal sections into one large area that is patrolled heavily. The umbrella rental prices are up, and everyone is quick to let you know they haven't had work in 6 months. It's a funny way to think about it. Rather than being appreciative of your business, they try to guilt you into paying for the 4 other gringos that aren't there. It will be long days of saying no, even more so than usual, and plenty of masajista hands trying to suck you in with the free foot massage, or quick shoulder rub.

Anyhow, I always use Juan Carlos, Chino, & Yankee at Tony's spot. Tony is too loud for me, and begs too much. The others aren't afraid to ask for a beer or tip, but I feel we have a better understanding. You can PM me for contact info. They will take care of you with entry so you don't need to waste time with a reservation each day, or bullshit with the cops or umbrella guys.

Enjoy.

Of course they are, hahaha. And I never deal directly with Tony. I refuse to.

Thanks for the info on the no visitors rule. Very informative.

I'm not looking for building names and would prefer you don't post them in the forum. Two real estate agents I use told me flat out that the law makes it illegal for visitors now in the buildings (I rent in Bocagrande). One went as far as saying its the law for all hotels and apartments that they do not allow additional visitors. My chicas are telling me that their friends are servicing clients in the apartment buildings just fine.

I'm not looking for an argument or speculation. If you're there, have you brought back a VISITOR (not registered as a guest) to the building and registered them for a visit only?



Are you there? Because I just spoke to Tony and he told me the beach (Playa Hollywood) isn't open until this coming Friday.

Can you give out contact info for your RE agents. Maybe a PM?

Tony is open at Playa Hollywood same variety as before. Also sad to report Gloria the fruit madre passed away from diabetes.

Love your FR enjoy buddy great choice.

Seems to be plenty of ladies at the Clock Tower on the weekends, and I roughly counted maybe 30, mid-week.

The beaches are condensed, but I believe in the next week or so they will start to expand. You need a reservation, but I always just go towards the Hollywood guys' side (Tony's guys) and sneak in. You can search Reservas de la Playas Cartagena to find the link. There are two options, and the one that says Bonny or something is where you want to be. Everyone has a hand out, more so than usual.

A gringo on the beach had one of his two Hollywood Lizards approach my gal pal and offer her 1. 000.000 - not sure if that was TLN ST or what, but wow talk about splashing the pot.

My gal pal chatted with a cute 18-19 yo on Tinder and offered 200.000 to join us for the evening and she promptly agreed.

We've had my gal pal's 18 yo friend over a couple times. Price of a few beers on the beach, and dinner. Good times. She's very green, and now has signed up for SA. Great big, firm tits, brunette, braces.

A taxi pretty much anywhere should be 6. 000-8. 000, especially if you establish the price before you get in, or if you stand your ground.

It's not quite normal, but it's close enough to justify a trip if you're already in Colombia, or planning to hit Medellin / Bogota before or after.

[SlapShot10]

They look like whoppers. Is that your girlfriend in the back? The other girl looks chubby but has huge tits!

Great report! I like the woman on the left. She is way hot.

Fuck, you have me rattled. I don't know WTF a whopper is, aside from a big burger. Yes, my GF is in the back / left. She looks chubby, but she's not. She's the 2nd hottest chick at Hollywood Beach. She's just shorter and my GF is skinny with big tits. The friend (insider info: Emma something on SA) would probably be a well-reviewed chica by most. Unfortunately, she lives with mom, and can't do TLN or a 10 pm dinner. It would need to be something like brunch & munch.

It appears nobody is understanding what Questner is saying. The poster asked about a solid rate, which Questner is assuming to mean a rate that will guarantee the poster won't be spending the night alone.

With no experience, possibly no Spanish, Q is saying the guy should not have to pay more than 400 k, but could get by as low as 150 k.

NYE being a special night, it might be harder to find a girl who meets your standards. Who knows what the rate will be? However, an offer of 1 million will get almost any girl to change her plans.

He's not saying to start your offer at 400 k or 1 million. He's saying those numbers will guarantee you get what you're looking for.

Thanks for straightening that (and me) out. I certainly misunderstood the gist of the original post, could be I only read the quoted part of that post and did not read back far enough. My bad.

[JjBee62]

I have to back up YippieKayay, 1 million COP even for TLN is crazy. Unless she is very very very special in so many ways LOL.

200 k is the starting rate for negotiating. Depending on circumstances this can be negotiated down in the right circumstances to say 150 k or up if the girl is willing to do special things like bareback oral or bareback intercourse or anal or GFE for example (some do this without negotiating but the circumstances. The time of night, her sense of desperation, etc are going to effect this) but regardless standard starting rate is 200 k. For short time and TLN can be 400 k, this has been the same for ten years that I know of. Especially if you are pulling out of the clubs like LDV or Space and the clock tower girls tend to migrate back and forth from there so they just start there also. The exchange rate has zero impact on this, I doubt the chicas know or care what the exchange rate is.
