Another thought about Cartagena.
[QUOTE=Camaro1257; 1416608]Mirador Laquito.
I had an excellent studio apartment for $60. 00 per night. I didn't have a good view but I was more than satisfied for the price. The internet was slow sometimes but overall it was pretty efficient. Security was on point 24 hours a day. Chicas had to sign in with cedula and the front door was always locked, you had to be buzzed in and out by security. The location was familiar to all the taxi drivers and there were ATM's and restaurants close by. Would I stay there again? HELL YEAH!
Transportation.
Walking was easy to most spots in Laquito and Boca Grand. Taxis to the Old City were about 6, 000CP ($3. 50). I knew a local from one of my previous trips who showed my around town and took me to the poor man's venues for gas money.
Restaurants.
There were a variety according to taste but I enjoyed Riquisimo's which was within walking distance of my apartment. The food was good but on the expensive side. There was something for everybody within walking distance.
Roadmap to success
The beach during the day at Playa Hollywood. The Clock Tower in the Old City in the early evening. LDV later at night. The After One of Cartagena is Elecktra in the Old City. If you follow that path you should have some success.
La Dolce Vida (LDV)
My first night I was pissed at Pocahontas wanted 350, 000CP regardless as to how fine she was. I went back almost every night and enjoyed the ambiance the music and the view. I know I'll get hate from Brazil lovers but in my opinion Colombianas are some of the most beautiful woman in the world. LDV was plastic surgery central but many of the chicas were naturally beautiful. My ego enjoyed the attention with their eyes saying 'pick me! ' The staff was attentive and cordial.
Electricka.
Ok after hours spot but it was a small venue. I didn't care for the lighting ambiance or music but there were some FYNE chicas there.
Clock Tower.
Just inside the front entrance of the Old City male and female sex workers hang out. There were some good looking chicas there but as a rule they couldn't touch the LDV chicas.
Casas.
Barrio Los Alpes: Allondra – salida 80, 000CP negotiate with the chica her tarifa. Even though I had a bad experience they had the finest chicas of all the othe casas I went to and I am confident the gringo tax could be avoided by speaking to the hefe first and let him know the deal.
Gringo Tax.
The hefe in Allondra tried to hit me up for 500, 000CP after I already negotiated with the chica for 150, 000CP. He fell and hit his head if he thought I was going to put his kid through private school so I walked out.
Electrika the hefe said I had to buy 80, 000CP in drinks before I could take a woman out I gave him 20, 000CP to callete! He watches gringos and when he sees them make their move he tries to hit you up. If you go just ask your chica to leave and you follow her later.
Tarifas.
At the Clock Tower and La Playa I wouldn't pay more than 100, 000CP.
LDV can range from 150, 000CP to 350, 000CP. I would stay between 150 – 200, 000CP.
Electrika can range from 150, 000CP to 350, 000CP. I would stay between 150 – 200, 000CP.
Casas all have salidas and you have to negotiate separately with the chicas. In house will always be cheaper but most do half hour increments.
Policia.
Always carry a copy of your passport with you because there are road blocks everywhere especially at night. There is no such thing as reasonable articulable suspicion or probable cause. In Colombia I was stopped twice and patted down. If you like party favors I would encourage you to pass just my humble opinion.

I saw more than one walk away from grubby looking guys. In addition I did recieve a favorable comment from one; I was only wearing a polo shirt, athletic pants and gym shoes. She made it seem like she was more attracted to men who dress nice. Just a thought.
Looking for a Two bed room 5/17 to 5/21 In Cartagena
Flying in from south Texas. This is my second time. I stayed at Hotel Caribe, about 2 years ago and it was hell trying to get chicks in. Can you please help I'm taking my main wing man with m this time and I would like to get it right and not have to take chicks to the "by the hour places". Now I've heard a few good suggestions but then the apt has something wrong like. Apartamentos Torres Del Lago not having hot water, maid service, dirty, towel service, or sheet service and Mirador I think the reviews said it also did not have sheet or towel service. I'm willing to pay extra so me any my boy can: 1) have our own rooms 2) not have to do wash sheets 3) bring chicks up to our pad with out having to pay extra a la "Hotel Caribe" *Please Help*
