Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1804781]I am not sure the management of the hotel appreciated your review.

Now, when a family or a woman checks TripAdvisor looking for a decent hotel in town, they might understand that the hotel is a den of working girls and single men with questionable morality and attitudes. The hotel might lose customers for your review. I am surprised they did not ask TA to remove your review as "derogatory".

I give you another example. If you check the web site of the "Mansion", you will NEVER see any hint to anything related to this forum or special guests. And of course it must be like that![/QUOTE]Black Page, you have to realize some people do not use their heads.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1803902]What kind of freak shit is this? Can anyone pickup on the accent?

It's Spanish from Spain.

She said "vale" which is a word that usually the Spanish use.

[QUOTE=SunDevil;1804710]Just searching flights from MIA to MDE after 12/2/2015. Round trip was $153. Has anyone used this airline? I usually use either Avianca or Jet Blue, but for that price I definitely need to consider changing my airline.[/QUOTE]When you buy the ticket there are upcharges on top of upcharges. Carry on $25 like a back pack and I think a wheely bag is like $100! If it's just you and nothing else go ofr it. If you need to bring stuff like clothing, toothbrush, shoes. That base price climbs and climbs.

What club were you partying at?

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1803726]So it wasn't the 300k that they were offended by. (I would never be concerned about offending a hooker by the way. If selling ass and sucking dicks for a living does not offend them, then is it really possible for me to?) Many guys lose sight of the real world by dealing in this fantasy world so often. Especially the guys who only get laid by going to a country where their money goes longer. They get the mentality that every woman in the poorer countries that we monger in are hookers and you must pay them for pleasure. If you would have gotten the girls back to the apartment and things had popped off and you had written about it, well most posters would have sworn that could not happen for free and wanted to hang you for not giving money to the poor women. But despite what the monger crowd thinks, most women are not out for money, . Some just want to have a good time the same as you do. That is why I will never offer money to ANY woman who I do not know as a known hooker. I guess you found that out the hard way by jumping the gun.

It seems they definitely KNOW now.

Thanks for the great report. I learned a lot from it and it will definitely be of use to me when I'm back down there in January.[/QUOTE].

Yes, the prices are very decent and the experience was not that bad. However, I cannot say what the cost would be or the service about changing flights as I did not have the need to. Overall, a cheap trip and decent trip.

".

Might have also gained some customers like myself and others here who asked. If he didn't post that info then how would any of us guys know? Don't think there's a whole lot of families or single women looking at MDE for a vacation,(most families and women still gasp in horror at the mention of travel to Colombia), but who knows. I have seen similar reviews from other people regarding hotels being chica friendly in other tourist hotspots.

Regarding the mansion, the topic has been closed but a brief search revealed this:

Not sure what your point was, or even if there is one, or if it's just criticism because you disagree with the OP?

[QUOTE=MrAdventure;1804887]If he didn't post that info then how would any of us guys know? [/QUOTE]From ISG.

One thing is to post HERE that a hotel is chica friendly (everyone gives kudos for the useful hint), another to post that information on Trip Advisor or any other web site, which is used by a "general public" to get to know the reputation of a hotel before considering to book it or another.

No? Also Colombian families do travel for tourism or business. Many Colombians go to Medellin for tourism or business too. And some bring families or girlfriends with them (yep "llevan lenha al monte")


[QUOTE=MrAdventure;1804887]Not sure what your point was, or even if there is one, or if it's just criticism because you disagree with the OP?[/QUOTE]My point is to discourage people to do that again, in order to not hinder further the business of a presumably good hotel (oriented to all travelers, who may bring or not guests to their room).

Do you think that the management would be proud to inform everyone that they are "chica friendly" Do you see that written on the hotel web site?
Yes, I assume the hotel is NOT primarily oriented to the single male travelers with our hobby.

While Colombia offers one of the best varieties worldwide of "love motels" (see my previous post about Ibiza, for example, or "Chimba de hotel"), bringing guests to good hotels is not common. As made evident by the post we are talking about, the fact that a hotel is chica friendly is noteworthy information, because it's not common.
Most hotels which want to keep a good reputation simply reject guests, or apply very high fees (Sheraton applies +100k COP fee, when the single pays around 200k)

Kudos to you once again Black Page for telling it like it is. You are one of the few who continually post about reality, and are not afraid to check others at the door when it is appropriate.

I thought the purpose of trip advisor was to help the traveler decide where to stay and not to help or hinder the business of a hotel. I have seen plenty of posts on ta saying the hotel was full of hookers and old guys. Certain people may read that and decide it is not the place for them BEFORE booking the hotel. It beats getting there with your family and finding out too late. Then there are others who will think it is just the type of place they are looking for. Everyone will not be pleased with every aspect of every hotel. So trip advisor lays out other travelers' observations so we can decide if the place is for us before wasting our time and money. Nothing wrong with posting the truth.

I was referring to North American families and women. Yes, no different than in Venezuela where wealthy couples, families, singles both Latin and European stay harmoniously in the same hotel. This was the Vela resort in El Yaque, 2005, where they clearly listed an extra $20/ night for guest. Things are handled as discretely as possible. My point is that Latin families are aware of prostitution, and while many despise it, it is tolerated.

Agree, very noteworthy info, think the practice is more common than we realize, but info about which ones are, is scarce. Which is another reason I like to see info from more than one source.

Maybe if instead of saying "chica friendly" we say some a bit more subtle, like "If some of you single guys are lucky enough to meet your possible future fiance while visiting, you can bring her back, just register as 2 persons".

If I am staying say 6 nites, but plan to have a guest only 2 nights, do I make the res for 2 people for the whole stay?

And you are my favorite poster in Colombia! Kiss kiss!

I did not mean to raise a flame. I guess my suggestion was received by only those who did not need it.

To cool the debate down (I'd say to kill it), please enjoy the view of my best friend in MDE (a.k.a "The Dancer" in my last reports from MDE, around September). She's a lovely person, besides having a killer body and being sweet as a candy.
This pic might also reassure everyone that I am not only "Darth Vader" in MDE (I admit some other reports of mine in that period were controversial, to say the least). Shot in a "Chimba de Motel", not in my hotel (not chica-friendly indeed).

PS: Anyone who MIGHT recognize the girl from the back, or think to know where to find her, and go around MDE showing this photo on ISG and asking "Is this you??" "Do you know her??", well is an IDIOT.
(Someone did that in CTG, with another photo of another girl posted by someone else) <grrr>

[QUOTE=Quagmire1974;1803377]Dellorto, I was a "first timer" to Medellin from October 30 to November 8 and never set foot near Jake's or the Mansion. You don't need middlemen to meet chicas in Medellin. Here's how I did it:

[URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?583-Medellin-Reports&p=1799106#post1799106[/url]

I also have additional forum posts on here about which hotel I was lodged in and great restaurants in Medellin. Use my trip reports for your benefit.[/QUOTE]When I clicked on the link I see a casa! If this is your idea of meeting chicas in Medellin it just doesn't really explain what a lot of guys want or mean by meeting chicks. Your option is good for 30 minutes of sex for a cheap price that much is true but, you don't really get to know or go out with the casa girls. Its happens but I mostly hear of disappointment because the girl has worked all day getting pounded and by the time she gets off work that magic you had earlier has been replaced by I want to rest and be with my kid or family. That's why I don't use casa girls. My girls are fresh having been home all day and are on full energy when they meet you at night! You can do whatever you like but I your leaving a lot of fun on the table just doing casas. Got a couple guys arriving and going to a Thanksgiving Dinner event. Also wanted to make those who decide to go to the new Pub Rock aware that they will hit you with minimum Drink Tab if you sit in certain areas which sucks so as it stands now, you need to sit at the bar to avoid a 150,000 pesos minimum charge after the cover of 5,000 pesos. If your Spanish is not good you may get a surprise on your bill because they say it really fast and you may not even know what you just heard.

Thanks,

Colombia Jake.
