Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=KryptoKnight;2346454]$35 a night, great room pictures on the website.


I just walked out of due to them mocking me between themselves because I didn't speak Spanish.

.[/QUOTE]I thought I'll comment since I feel like we have a lot in common. I spent years and Asia and around and have only been in Medellín a few weeks.

Your hotel sucks plain and simple. Try somewhere else, I will never recommend a $$$ place. I stayed at HOTEL DORADO LA 70 the 1st days I was here. Ranges $40-50 in the Laureles area and it left me wanting for NOTHING. Perfect AC, fridge, wifi, cleaning and service.

I don't speak any Spanish and NO ONE AT ALL in 30 restaurants by now has actes like this to me. For your own sanity you need to introspect my friend, your body language and attitude is bringing this about because my experience proves it is not the basic character of the Colombian people.

One guy even said something like (on my second visit) "oh you're the guy who doesn't know much Spanish". Then he sat down at the table and spoke in slow motion so I could figure out he was just giving his name as the waiter and asking what drink I want to start. I was blown away by his kindness.

[QUOTE=KryptoKnight;2346494]Thank you for the insight. I will look into Laureles tomorrow.[/QUOTE]In Laureles newer apartments + no guest fees. Search $30-$70, daily rentals, 1-2 bedrooms. I get 30 options that should be much better than a hotel.

IMHO apartments are always better a value / experience worldwide. Not sure if I can post live links add www.

First, a big thank-you to all the members who have contributed such excellent information about MDE. I'll be going there for the first time in late August and feel well-prepared thanks to you.

I have a question about love motels in Medellin. If you don't have a car and the chica doesn't have a car, how does the check-in and meeting work? Do you get a room and then wait for the chica to arrive and have her call you? Do you wait out front and check in together? I ask because the love motels I've been to before have been located in the suburbs or rural areas; I've never been to one in an urban area where, I suspect, there is a good amount of foot traffic. Thanks for any tips you can provide.

Travis.

[QUOTE=KryptoKnight;2346454]First let me say, and you can verify from my posts, I am a long time monger in second world countries. Thailand 15 times. Bali, Vietnam, Laos. Lived in Dubai 12 years. For some context I am a white American, 58 years old.


That's my first day in Medellin. I do hope my posts get better but I am not optimistic.[/QUOTE]I think you'd find a better time in the casas. There are probably 10 - 20 around where you are, just look at World Traveler's map. You'll get what you're looking for at casas like New Life; beautiful girls, cheap prices, and safety. If you don't like going to brothels I recommend you go at least once, find a girl you like and arrange to meet outside her working hours.

I think he just needs to get away from el centro. Follow the advice I and others gave and get an apartment away from El centro. Last time I was in Medellin I was there for 10 days, not once did I visit or care to see El Centro. Had plenty of entertainment day and night in a relaxed safe environment. Apartment with kitchen, clean modern shower, nice bed, ac that works and a safe that actually works! cheaper as well then spending the 35 dollars a night in el centro.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2346324]Zaza / Fantasia really needed a makeover. The session rooms were starting to get to unacceptably cruddy level. There was a good looking popular girl there with a big natural ass who uses the name Paloma.[/QUOTE]Paloma was in the lineup.

[QUOTE=Anukris;2346229]Is there a list of casas in laureles anyone is aware of. Any recommendations of casas in Laureles?

Thanks much![/QUOTE]I have found most to be small private apartments that have 2-4 girls working out of them. You can get a presentation of the available girls. I found these on Mileroticos or Photoprepagos or other online sites. There are a couple massage places that offer full service with nice large rooms, Tantra and Energy I think are the best usually 150 mil for an hour.

The prices he wants to pay are found in El Centro. Lodging, however, Laureles is definitely a better option than his current location.

My opinion is that a good Facebook girl is a better bargain, provided your place is chica friendly. With taxi you're in for 170-250 k depending on the girl, what you want and your bargaining skills. You spend 2-4 hours, even more with the girl. You're in a clean, comfortable environment. You have your things handy. You can take your time or you can get in 3 pops if you've got a quick recovery. You're probably able to get BBBJ with no extra cost. Once she's there, she's usually in no hurry to leave. It's just a more relaxing experience, for me.

If you're a 3 pop guy, you'll pay 120-150 k in El Centro. Plus taxi, plus 60-150 k for BBBJ, plus taxi out, plus walking to several casas to find 3 girls. And each one is no more than 30 minutes from "hola" to "gracias. ".

But El Centro appeals to some. It's all a matter of getting your priorities in order.

Greetings all,

Dumb question, but it' won't be the first, I'm sure. I'm thinking about trying out the Mansion this trip, but not sure the actual name of the hotel. Is it just "The Mansion"?

Just from perusing the classified ads, it looks as if a number of new places have opened up in Laureles since I was there last August.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2346521]Let's start with my Spanish. It's currently around 30%. 2 years ago it was at 5-10% and that's being generous. I've eaten hundreds of meals in a lot of restaurants from one end of Medellin to the other. I've never had any restaurant treat me poorly because of my poor Spanish. Part of that is attitude. I recognize going in there will be language difficulties. So I ask for a menu "una carta por favor. " If they are talking to fast, I mention my poor Spanish and ask them to speak slower "solo hablo un poco de Espanol. Habla mas despacio por favor. " If I'm not sure what the menu says, I take a picture with Google Translate and let it work it's magic. If all else fails, I point at my selection.

People in Medellin are friendly, but they're also people. If you're getting angry with them over your issue, they won't be as friendly.

Next, the hotel issues. $35 is high for El Centro. Just about all El Centro hotels are bare minimum. Room safes and air conditioning are almost impossible to find. Air conditioning is also rare in most apartments. I've lived in 2 and am staying in a third, all in upscale neighborhoods and none have had AC. Electricity is expensive here and the climate is relatively mild. It's possible to get by without AC, although the worst place to try is El Centro. Other than mid to high end hotels, about the only apartments with AC are geared towards gringos at gringo prices..[/QUOTE]Anger management issues, I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.
