Cartagena Reports

[Rzrfl69]

Only issue I have ever had with a place from Juan was the building rules I didn't know about. One building only allowed 1 guest per person. I travel solo, but could only bring one girl up. That was a bummer! Some buildings you have to pay a small fee per girl. Like 10 $ usd it came to. I knew that ahead of time. My favorite building they check ids. Have a fun time sir. Easy!

I've always found them to be very clean.

Been watching some YouTube videos of morons throwing money around on the streets and clubs. Is this something kinda happening often? Or happened once and these guys are making the video a big deal for views.

Less than 2 weeks to fo. Already made contact with my go to girl to have all my supplies ready and be at the apartment as soon as I get there for some fun. After that the hunt is on. Have about 30#s on WhatsApp. Those will be for backup. If I'm at a restaurant having lunch and wana go have fun. Start hitting up WhatsApp!

I am wondering why you picked your hotel before you asked if it was chica-friendly. I assume you get some advantage with your credit card or you have some kind of rewards program that makes Marriot your choice. Either way to my knowledge it is not chica friendly but I am not positive so maybe another monger has actuall experience with Marriott.

I am posting to say that if your hotel is not chica friendly you should familiarize yourself with love motels / hotels which are places you can rent by the hour for a so so reasonable price. Colombia is a traditional family culture where adults often live with their parents until they are married so these love hotels are useful when you cannot take someone home, and of course many men keep a mistress on the side, it is part of the culture as in many places. So these are not just for prostitution. One of the ones most often mentioned here is Hotel El Viajero and Hotel El Viajero #2 whic just up the street from LDV and Space. You can study the Cartagena List where these are denoted under hotels and motels as being "short time" and you can look on the Cartagena Map and they are located by finding the heart symbol. Both of these can be found in post #508 in this thread.

Try OZ Hotel, good area clean girl friendly. Not bad for the price book on web can walk to beach lots of stores and restaurants. Hotel offers free breakfast and good room service.

Love Juan to death really nice guy: but last two times had to check out of different apartments for cockroaches & I can give up lots of different amenities but refuses to settle on cockroaches in my space!

I have been renting from Juan about every two weeks for the last 4-5 months in Laquita the apartment I rent has always been on the 4th floor and yes I have seen very few small cockroaches 1 or 2 but nothing that would cause me to throw a fit, hell only seen 1 small roach while I was in the closet and one small roach in the kitchen late one night after turning on the light. On my recent visits with an apartment higher up I have seen none but on my last visit this month went back to my 4th floor apartment only because the elevator was being worked on and I'm no fan of stairs. I still seen only about 2 small baby looking roaches and killed them both end of issues and seen no more or was I just to busy fucking all the time. These 2 anyway.

Alot of my observations have been mentioned many times on the site.

I'm randomly writing what's pops into my head while observations are fresh.

I will probably not return to Cartagena and would only recommend 5-7 days for first time travelers.

I hooked up with 3 nice girls with who I spent the entire 12 day vacation with- They were over 30 and had 3 kids each.

If your willing to commit to Colombia with multiple visits you could build yourself a nice book of contacts.

There are a lot of beautiful single women looking to meet gringos.

Observations.

Many tourists now finding apartments thru ABNB.

Afro Americans have arrived.

Heavy Rains in Loquito and Bocagrande will prevent taxi access so get ready to walk in 4 inches of water after storms.

The beach and street action is terrible. The chica scene is confined to Centro, Clubs, Internet and Brothels.

The girls come out after 10 pm. If your a "early to bed early to rise" type of guy your not going to like Cartagena.

You have to use WhatsApp.

None of the girls spoke English. Had to use Google translate on cell phones.

To many drug dealers (cocaine).

Roaches were in 2 apartments I stayed in.

Extortion. Police fined me $65 for not wearing a mask while smoking a cigarette outside of the courtyard entrance.

Noticed transvestites hanging outside church courtyard.

Too many panhandlers and vendors.

Extremely hot and humid.

Dirty beaches.

This is my first post but long time reader. Thanks to you all for all the info you've shared as I've been taking active notes. I'll be visiting Cartagena very soon and was wondering how chica friendly are the hotels? I'll be staying at the Marriott.

Honestly. These amounts are pennies. But I get where yiu are coming from. Being viewed as a walking ATM machine is not good. This will be my first and last trip to Cartagena. I just feel like if I'm going to tolerate Columbians downright shitty subpar behavior I might as well do it in a 3rd tier city where its cheap and I hrt some gringo exotic factor. So far my impression of Columbian wo. En is not a good one though. They just all seem kind of cut try and to the point with everything. Its very surprising to me considering this is the salsa capital of the world. A lot of the girls just seem very robotic, selfish and boring individuals in general. The only really good Latinas I have met whether its here, in tge DR in Mexico or in Miami were Venezuelans.

I suggest that you find another monger down there and ask them for suggestions for what you are looking for. Maybe someone you actually see face to face that is right there on the ground can size you up and tell you what you are doing wrong or maybe they will just tell you Colombia is not for you.

Just for the record I have stayed at Juan's apartments at least nine times. Probably four different apartments (five counting the one in Mirador del Laguito but I am not sure he still has that one). I personaly only saw one cockroach one time. For the record it was the biggest fucking cockroach I have ever seen. That was a third floor unit. Mostly I try to get as high up as I can to increase the ocean view and ususally request the same apartment but sometimes it is not available. And have never seen any in the high floors. Maybe I have just been lucky. I'm certainly not doubting what anyone is saying, and know that they could not infest the higher floors but I never have seen any there, those buildings are old, and a littel run down and the humid environment in Cartagena is perfect for those giant cockroaches so I do not doubt what any other poster is saying, I am just saying that on my several stays there I have seen one once.

My first time in Cartagena (and only time staying overnight) I got a place from Juan. It was either Boca Grande or Laguito. I am not familiar with the names of the areas, but it was years ago when LDV was like in the middle of the road on that median and you had to walk up a few steps.

For anyone wondering where he is talking about , LDV was in Laguito in the little shopping center where the road splits around it (now called Pierino Gallo) there where you mention walking up the stairs, back during that time all of Juans apartments were walking distance. Laguito is so small it is small enough to be confused as being part of Bocagrande. It is really just two streets and a cluster of a few buildings on Playa Hollywood along along Carrera 1. The shopping center where LDV used to be used to and may still have a Casino in it also, the only other thing in that median area where the road is split is a small police substation then those two roads join at Calle 1b. there are a lot of highrise apartment buildings all along Calle 1b, one side faces the ocean - the other faces the lake, the only other main road that is in Laguito is Diagnal 1 and it runs along the with the lake on one side and the back of buildings that face Calle 1b but that is the street that you have to take to get out of Laguito because the streets are one way.

Another little peice of useless trivia is that back in that time era I remember there was a house near LDV that was owned by some Israelis and enough Isrealis visited Cartagena and stayed in Laguito back then (I think I heard it was mostly Israeli military) I noticed the internet cafe across from the previously mentioned police substation had keyboards set up in Hebrew. I met a couple of girls on the beach that stayed at that house. They were wearing arm bands that they said let them come and go there. They were visting from Bucaramanga to make a little money and I do not know what kind deal they had for staying in the house.

My first Cartagena post from May 2009. Back then I think the exchange rate was like 1600 COP to 1 USD.

I'm so glad you or I never been their ME E, because we have so much to gain by telling people lies about someone I started out saying I love (Juan) but was my experience twice! I'm glad I've never been other wise I could make up much better places and way cheaper prices, without cockroaches and killer locations! Sorry board for making shit up, he is definitely a professional on Cartagena he's been their 5 times oh wait 6 times or was it 7 times, or is it 8 ?

I just arrived in Cartagena for the first time. I'm staying in Apt 602 thanks to Bijou for mentioning it. 80K/day. Very basic but it will serve my purpose. I don't at all recommend it though unless you like dust, dirt, roaches, ants, mold, and mildew. He could at least clean the toilet before he rents the place. As a matter of fact the guy didn't even have any towels here. He said that people always bring their own. So I had to go out and spend a few thousand pesos on towels at Exito. I'm jacking someone in the building's Netgear wireless signal right now.

Well anyway, some girl who I met online probably two years ago met me at the airport. (I don't know which site because I have not been on any of them since last year.) She is 27 and was a bacteriologist before she lost her job. She is a solid 8. We took a taxi here to El Laguito for 15K. After I left my things in the apartment she took me to some restaurant to eat. I had fried fish and lemonade and she ate some crab claw appetizers and flan. 74K WTF? Then she took me to those old buildings behind the wall to look around. She had called her cousin at work and told her to meet us there. When her cousin arrived we walked around and talked a bit. Her cousin was black but she is more so white. She told me that if we go to the beach tomorrow she is going to need a new swimsuit. I said you live here in Cartagena, I'm sure you have one already. She said that it was ugly. I said we are going to the damn beach not to a fashion show. She said if I don't buy her one we won't be going to the beach. I agreed. No beach. I was thinking to myself damn, why didn't I just go the hooker route. It would have been much cheaper. We went to a bar on top of the wall called Casa del Mar. I loved the ambiance of this place. The two ladies had lemonade and I had a Club Colombia. 20K. She told me that her cousin lived far and asked if I could pay for her a taxi to go home. This is usually where I draw the line. The last time a girl in Bogota tried to pull that shit I gave them 2000 pesos before I walked back to my hotel. Anyway I'm still hoping that she will loosen up by the second meeting so I agreed.

We walked to Exito so I could buy some towels. She goes to get the most expensive towel she can find. 24K. I said negative. I asked the stock guys where the cheap towels were and they gave me one for 9K plus a wash cloth for 1. 8K. I also grabbed a 1. 5 liter H2O. When I got to the check out counter I asked the cashier where I could get a card for my Movistar cell. She said that she could do it on the register if I gave her the number. So I give her my number and old girl wants to get recharged as well. She said so she could call me. I told her no and that I would just call her instead. In my head I was thinking that if I never talk to this broad again in life it will be okay with me.

[HighOnTravel]

Sounds like you have done zero research or reading up on Cartagena before you got their, first thing you would of read was do not talk to this girls in dollars and you seem to keep doing it, the minute you talk dollar's you will get treated such as! And oh I had some questions not answered also starting out with who's "fish".

I talk pesos first. But they try to shift to dollars. Will act like I don't know next time zee if that helps.

I just had a non pro girl I have been on 3 dates with absolutely beautiful girl come over while I made dinner for her. Finally after so many "nos" I got inside her today. Once again. The most boring monotonous robotic sex ever. My theory is Columbian women think too much. Even more than your average other woman. I don't know. But I'm getting a lot of dead fish fucking lately both pro and bon pro. The one pro I got who seems to like me is good. Not impressed overall with Columbians. Asian women fuck much better, are more intimate and are more submissive plus complain about little things a lot less. Columbian women in general are very overhyped and disappointing overall to me so far. Where is this great myth of Columbian women being the best in the world coming from? I'm just not seeing it at all. Venezuelans seem way better.

[Rzrfl69]

These posts have to just be some guy who's never been to Colombia. Stories don't make much sense. Never ever had a issue with one of Juans places.

As far as 250,000 for a hour. I don't mind that at all. And it's never just a hour. Really anything less I start to wonder why!

Don't get me wrong. I've been to I think it is as casa maria? Like 100,000 to get the dead done 150 k for the best.

What ever happened to that place?

This will be I think my 8th trip to ctg. Can't wait to see what it's like Halloween weekend!

Are masked required waking the streets??

Thanks to all the advices: 1) Guest friendly 1) Close to Dolce, Space and Tower del Reloj 2) Jacuzzi 4) Security.

I guess I have the right one: https://it.airbnb.com/rooms/30538284.

The hosts says: "the visitors must have ID", and I guess this is the norm.

I hope Internet is really good because I have to work and to present at a Zoom based convention. Crossing fingers!

[RacShack]

Well. I got one really hot one who likes me and will stay all night for $100 now no condom does everything I want. We basically just drink and get high all morning then bang like rabbits. Wake up and bang again. I even got her down to $80 for this as well.

The last $140 girl was terrible but looked smoking hot. Her service was terrible though. $140 was for all night. She said no condom for an extra 100 k pesos which isn't much however I declined because I couldn't get it up for her because I was taking lyrica pregabalin before I went out. Which is great but gives you ED.

But also. I think I couldn't get it up because there was no real connection there. Her attitude was just downright awful. Terrible terrible girl actually. Incredibly rude. Not attractive at all besides her looks. She seemed a bit robotic as well. It is very import here in Cartagena to make sure there is some sort of connection with the girl before you take her back. Much more so than in other places I've noticed. The pros here just tend to be kind of miserable acting people in general though just based on my experience. Overall, you get the las Vegas pro attitude and service at a somewhat discounted price. Yawn. It is nothing to write home about that's for sure.

Oh yeah. And be sure to avoid strip clubs here. They will really try to rip you off and poor quality girls overall.

Sounds like you have done zero research or reading up on Cartagena before you got their, first thing you would of read was do not talk to this girls in dollars and you seem to keep doing it, the minute you talk dollar's you will get treated such as!
