Chica Friendly Hotels In Panama City, Panama
Hello and good afternoon fellow mongers,
So is there any hotels that do not charge chica fees in Panama City, Panama.
Round Trip from Tocumen Airport for less than $5
Fantastic Panama City trip in the books. Hyatt Place was ground zero for me as I contemplated Hotel Milan at $40 a night but extremely loud with a new High rise being built next door. It's been well documented about the $15 Chica fee. Sucks but Hyatt still has great value. Walking distance to Habanos, Metro Subway, Hooters (and countless Via Argentine restaurants) Veneto, McDonalds & a brand new Wendy's (quick burger run) or even Hard Rock and Trump at Punta Pacifica. That is if your in good shape and don't mind dodging hundreds of insane drivers constantly honking their horns. Plus the breakfast buffet has improved. They added an omelette station along with fresh fruit, juice, deli meat and cheeses. I made a few sandwiches to go and that tied me over until dinner. Great value. No shelling out cash for breakfast or lunch. Save $$.
I arrived with no reservation and asked for a government rate. The clerks were great. I got a $70 rate for just asking and then showed my AAA Card. They didn't know the difference. Requested 18th floor and got it. Must be the rainy season. Save $$.
Now onto even more $avings! Forget the $50 cab ride round trip from the airport. You can do it for $2. 85 and put that savings toward your chica fees. Here's how. Follow the locals. After going through customs at Tocumen turn right after exiting the doors. You'll see one blue sign above. "Public Transportation". You'll be attacked by taxi drivers. Ignore them they want to rip you off. Stay on the sidewalk. There are no signs indicating this is a pedestrian walkway. You'll see a restaurant with a large orange sign. Chicken Port Restaurant. The sidewalk goes behind the restaurant and continues thru the back hallway and outside. Once you reach the end of the side walk (about a 4 minutes) you'll need to cross the street for the buses heading to the city. Two different buses use this route. I would recommend the large white air conditioned motor coach. They accept cash $1. 25. The city bus you need to use a bus card and they are not sold at the airport. You could ask a local to swipe theirs and reimburse them the $1.25. Either way be sure to get on the Tocumen corredor sur Bus. Once on the bus you can get dropped off anywhere on Avenida Balboa or go all the way to Allbrook Mall. I exited at Multicentro Mall and Ate lunch at Red Lion and walked to Hyatt with only a light shoulder bag. Taxi from the mall to Hyatt runs $4. Start to finish about 1 hour. Have confidence. If I succeeded you can too. The journey is the game. Returning back to the airport just hop on the metro subway (Iglesias Del Carmen) by Hyatt Place-It's 35 cents to Allbrook Mall. Exit (8 minute ride) and follow everyone to The National Bus Terminal. Once you arrive, you'll be a bit intimidated. It's Panamas version of Grand Central Station. Go straight to Platform E. Tocumen Corredor Sur. Buses leave every 15 minutes. You will need a prepaid bus card. Fare is $1.25 to the airport. So with subway and bus fare total is $1. 60 It took me about 1 hour from Hyatt Place to reach the airport. Yours could be shorter or longer. Traveling on the new subway or buses is easy and cost effective. You could Uber or take cabs but why? Save $$.
Now for the best part. Habanos was absolutely packed every night with nuggets from all over central and South America. Hot steamy nights has the girls ready to act quick and get out of the sauna at Habanos and into your AC Penthouse or Suite. The talent on display the last few nights was world class with stunners that exceeded Miss Universe or Playboy Standards. Believe when I say this. Do not doubt me. My eyes don't lie. Lots of college girls earning cash during summer break. Sure you may see a pooch or two but the first rounders outnumber them 10-1. The sad situation of violence and unrest in Venezuela has created a vacuum of beautiful women flooding into Panama. Be sure to negotiate but be respectful. I began my nights next door in the small cigar bar (cute dark Panamanian Erica is the mgr & sweet Venezuelan Katherine is her waitress) adjacent to Habanos. This way I was not hassled 100 times for drinks, company, cigarette, "where you from honey", etc. Very peaceful and the ice cold beers are a few bucks less. Once you see the beauty that interests you can walk over and pounce or invite them over. There is only a large old BBQ Grill permanently parked that separates the two businesses. Both work and keep you sane from the myriad of women trolling. Last and MOST important tip. Be sure to translate all of your requests upfront in Spanish unless of course your fluent. I had mine translated in advance on my phone ready to go and had 4 beauties during my stay agree to MY terms not theirs before we left. Hope these tips help. Enjoy.
Hyatt Place -Can you confirm the $15 fee they started from June 15th.

This started on June 15th is what I am being told (I was there a week prior and I didn't get charged). Can you confirm if Hyatt is now indeed charging the 15 dollar fee?. I don't think it is a deal breaker -but just asking for this info from awareness perspective.
Just landed in Panama Boots on the ground
Hey,
Just landed in Panama if anybody wants updates DM me.
This is my first time, I'm going to check out the Scene, Later and give you my first impressions.
Negotiating on I Phone w Chicas is Sales 101
[QUOTE=KosherKowboy;2058187]Great news on the food, last time I went in my review I trashed the buffet and some others agreed and asked me to write the manager. Perhaps all the e-mails from mongers who wanted a better quality buffet got thru to them or maybe it was part of their ' upgrade' in service to improve the food and add a chica fee. Either way, I too have crap to do during the day and will steal lunch fro mthe buffet as you did, make a few sandwhiches to go and fruits and put them in the backpack for the day...
Good report and thanks for sharing your experience. It's always nice to get a trip in the books and start planning the next. Guess Hyatt bound visitors can save some of that $15 chica fee and recoup it by not taking a taxi and instead the bus and pocket close to 3-4 nights chica fees by taking the bus.
Habanos sounds great still and like the tip to start in the cigar bar, experienced the same myself. Sounds like you had some negotiations perhaps pre entered on the mobile device; any chance you might be able to give us some updates on the negotiations starting and ending points? I am curious if you care to share here or PM what they started at per the hour and what they settled at. Also, were the dates BBBJ or CBJ and care to eleborate if that was part of negotiations. ..[/QUOTE]Kosher,
Great minds think alike. Your mention of Spain has got me thinking of Europe or even Cartagena for new grounds but Panama is so dialed in for me and the quality of Chicas, safety, infrastructure and dollar make it so difficult to start new somewhere else. Regarding my interview process, I am extremely picky and only go for 9 or 10's. Habanos has them. Veneto for me is the see team. Club Asche late would be my back up plan be. My exception to the rule on a 7 or 8 would be if the chica can translate and assist me with other women. This normally ends up in at least one threesome per trip. I use 4 metrics for chica selection that I have on my I Phone translated in Spanish. #1 How long have they been coming to Panama and how long on this particular Visa stay? If they have anything more than 1 year; and or 5 weeks on particular trip, unless they are a straight up Diamond, red flag for me. Too many miles. #2 if the Chica is covering her stomach with clothing and has a child or won't answer the question; I pass. #3- I request 90 minutes, (no less) No Smokers, DFK, massage and the obvious. $My going rate for a 9 or 10 is $120 or less. (The avg Colombiana back home makes less than $1000 per month if their educated). In Venezuela, DR, Peru, etc it's far less. Which reminds I dated for the first time a stunner from Peru. She was ravishing. According to her it was her second week at Habanos. #4 $60 up front. $60 at completion. No games / non negotiable. That's it! Straight forward and pre loaded on my phone. After they agree, which 90% do I'll offer a drink, flirt, fondle and always walk back to Hyatt, Bristol, Continental, etc. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
