Natal

Does anyone know if the Praia Aquamarina Hotel in Ponta Negra closed? It is on the beach.

Their website has closed ([url]www.hotelaquamarina.com.br.[/url]) They did not answer my e-mail.

Has the hotel closed?

If Aquamarina Hotel closed, can anyone recommend another clean, guest friendly hotel in the same area, near the beach?

I was in Natal for a couple of days. Man this place is boring. I stayed a few blocks from "Salsa Street". There's practically nothing there in that little area that covers about 3-4 blocks except for a few restaurants. I didn't see any Coco Loco bar. It must be closed now. Sancho disco was closed. Praca Jardim is still there and they charge R$5 entry and open from 10 pm until 4 am. Inside this little square are about 4 or 5 little bars where GDP freelancers hang out. There are about 30 girls on any given night. I went there 2 nights in a row and only saw about 2 girls above an 8, the rest were around 6's. The 2 or so very attractive girls were always occupied, so I talked to a few other girls and the going price is around R$200 for 2 hours or even all night.

It's hard to believe Natal used to be mongering heaven, at least from what I've heard. It must have been eons ago.

Last time I was at Fuso Horario in 2010 (now called Praca Jardim) it really started hopping about 1AM, with lots of lookers at that time.

I wonder if you were there too early. Otherwise, I wonder why there is less action now than before.

Is there some kind of crackdown?

Aquamarina was the only guest friendly hotel in Ponta Negra / Natal.

Note - having some problems writing at this internet cafe. It shows sentences ending with a period
when they are really part of the next sentence. Hope you don´t get confused.

Spent the first week of October in Natal. Aquamarina Hotel is still opened. Surprised it is the only guest friendly hotel on the beach (per the previous poster).

Regarding ATMs: I used ATM machines from ITAU bank. I heard they let you withdraw up to 1000R. I withdrew 700R with no problems.

Placa Jardim:

Placa Jardim on Salsa Street used to be called Fuso Horario. I went to Fuso Horario twice. In the Fall of 2008 and the Fall of 2010. It was a great place with.
(this is continued in the next sentence - computer problems with writing here):

Lots of tourists and programa girls, plus 2 small discos where people danced and had a great time. I loved it.

I went there a few times this past week. It is 5R to enter and they give you a small ticket if you want to go out and return.

It had about 1/3 the number of girls and tourists as before. Plus both discos have closed for good. So somewhat disappointing.

Girls ask for about R200 for 2 hours, about R400 all nite, but I suspect you can bargain them down.

A programa girl there told me she expects more girls and tourists in November. That may be true. Both times I was there in 2008 and 2010 were in.

November and there were a lot of girls and tourists. So I expect it to be better next month. But both discos are expected to stay closed, so.

It will lose some of the party atmosphere it used to have with the discos open.

But even now in October it's not a bad place, there are still at least a half dozen good looking and friendly programa girls available each time I went.

But not as good as in past trips.

Sancho Disco:

About a block away from Placa Jardim is Sancho Disco. It, s a dance place with live music. Supposed to have a lot of Programa girls.

I heard Sunday night is the big night there. I went there Friday nite. It had a R10 admission. (It's R20 on Sundays).

On Friday it was all non-pros, many with dates. I tried to make eye contact with some single girls but got no reponse. I think.

They were non-pros.

On Sunday nite I went to Placa Jardim and it was really empty. Hardly anyone there. I had heard Sunday nite.

Was the big nite at Sancho Disco, so I figured everyone went there, not to Placa Jardim. I asked some girls at Placa Jardim about it,

And they said Sunday night was the big nite at Sancho. I asked if some of the Placa Jardim girls went there that night, and they said yes.

So later on I walked to Sancho Disco. There were several girls dressed like HO's going in. Plus I recognized some.

Of the girls from Placa Jardim hanging out outside Sancho. I didn't go in to Sancho, but it looked to me.

That Sunday nite was the night to go there for Program girls, not Friday nite. And also, Sunday nite is the nite.

To avoid Placa Jardim.

There is a Forro dance place called Apaxia or something like that, next to Sancho Disco. There was one night during the week.

Where there was a line around the block going in there. It was much more quiet the other nites.

A program girl told me that this Forro place is mostly non-pros, but has a few pros.

Helllo,

A small correction: Not "Placa Jardim" (garden sign). It should be Praça Jardim.

Sorry, you are right, it is called Praca Jardim. Others call it still Fuso Horario. It is the same club. I was there several times, often there are up to 30 girls, some real nice ones. Going rate is 150 reais. Some stayed the whole night. Also the bar on the other side of the street there are the girls waiting before midnight. So you can find a nice girl there without waiting. The nightlive starts after midnight. Was a great time there, hope to be back soon.

Had this mulata Thaliya in dolce amore.

200 R hor 1. 5 hours. Great experience.

Just curious is anyone is there during this World Cup? You would think with the huge influx of tourists that the girls will be there to welcome them. I'll be there for a few days later in June for the tournament, so any tips would be appreciated.

[QUOTE=MarcSmith961;1582169]Praca Jardim is your best bet. If you want telephone numbers of some girls, PM me.

Marc[/QUOTE]Thanks Marc. It was a crazy crowded scene with the World Cup tonight, but Praça Jardim worked well. I hooked up with a gorgeous, classy, slightly older blonde who spoke excellent English. I am sure I overpaid at are $300 because I met a cute younger girl earlier willing to go for $R200. Even that is probably too much! This was for short time. But all I know is Southeast Asia and this is my first time in Brazil.

So far, my two experiences have been OK. In Sao Paulo and here, the girls have been very attractive, the classic perfect Brazilian asses, both with enhanced tits, and OK in performance. But with both there was enough fakeness in their enthusiasm that I don't get as often in Thailand, but I'm way more experienced there and can speak Thai fairly well and know all the ins and outs, so maybe it's not a fair comparison as here I am an obvious tourist.

I'm looking forward to more experiences though. Can you recommend a good follow up to Praça Jardim? Many thanks again.
