Cartagena: over-rated for mongering?
A report on my lack of success trolling around Cartagena:
First, to tell new folks in town that it's completely dead Sunday through Wednesday. Most clubs and bars are closed, and those that are open are completely empty.
Thursday at midnight and Friday at 2 am I checked out several of the places listed here.
Isis. It's awfully dark, so it's hard to really see the girls. Although there is a stripper pole, it's not used. It's really just a bar to meet girls where you know you'll be able to sleep with them if you want (by paying dearly). Also, many of the girls are not dressed to kill. A lot of them wear jeans. I would say they average in looks around a 7. Another thing I didn't like is that a simple rum and coke was $15, 000! Does that seem right?
Queens. Don't know why, but it was completely empty both times I wandered in (to be fair, the first time was a Tuesday night. But the other time was 2am on Friday, when it should have been hopping). Too bad, I'd read great things about this place. Maybe I'll try again. Again, it's just a bar (with a dancefloor).
Tu Candela. A fun bar, but I didn't see any real stunners.
Elektra. Empty. I only checked this place once, at 2 am on Friday night. Maybe it wasn't late enough yet? _______________
On Wednesday night I was dining alone at a restaurant. As occassionally happens, the waiter befriended me. Later in the conversation, he says he has some girl friends he'd like to introduce me to. In the back of my head I'm thinking, "is this a scam? " but I say sure, call them over. On the chance that it's actually some friendly locals. Half an hour later, two old skanky *****s show up. Friends of his, sure. After 10 minutes of polite conversation, I excuse myself.
On Friday night I run into this same waiter at a bar, he is there with his girlfriend, both having just gotten off work. They buy me drinks, she seems very genuine, we're having a great time. Friends of theirs wander by and get introduced to me. Near closing time, an 18-year old friend of theirs ends up sitting with us. She's not that attractive, but worth a shot, I figure. We all jump in a cab to a beach somewhere, but the girl is whining that she's cold. So then we go to a fancy club, but she doesn't like that either. Finally I say, "would you like to just come back to my hotel? " (of course my cheap hotel doesn't allow guests, so I'm thinking Jaiba. But the cabbies haven't heard of it! ) So we end up downtown and find a free hotel eventually. This is all going really well, I'm thinking. We get in the room, start undressing, and then she drops the bomb. Sure enough, she's a hooker. Maybe I'm really gullible, but I really did think she was just a friend of theirs. Weird how they set me up like that without tipping me off. OK, I think, I'll pay at this point. But she's asking for $120k. And by this point it's 6am, so I'm sure we'll only get an hour in before she takes off. Plus she wouldn't do BBBJ, and had a stank attitude. So I'm trying to work her price down when she starts dressing. Fine, I think, it's better not to waste the money. Weird though that she didn't want to negotiate. Then she won't let me leave the room without at least cab fare. So I finally toss her a $20k and stumble out into the morning sunshine with a terrible case of blue balls, LOL.
Now I don't want to ruffle any feathers here, but it's beginning to seem like Cartagena is not a great town for mongering. Don't get me wrong, I love the city. Stunning architecture, great live music, friendly people. But I saw much hotter Colombian girls in Panama!
I also haven't tried all the clubs mentioned. Like La Dolce Vida or Pleyclub. Is Pleyclub an actual strip club, where you can view the merchandise before purchasing, as it were?

Guest friendly hotel issues
First time visit to Cartegena next week and I now have learned that my hotel is guest unfriendly. (Decameron) One site I found stated that for 60usd a guest could come up to the room? There is a club inside the hotel would this apply to girls there as well? I would be truly grateful for any help anyone could give me and changing hotels now is not an option sad to say.
Thanks,
