[QUOTE=Hilltopper;1651752]5) Nothing mentioned to me about a drink minimum or anything while at LDV in which I drank a bottle of water for the first 30 or so minutes. I subsequently went outside after finishing and then came back in and ordered 1/2 bottle of Aquadiante. Cost was either 70 k or 75 k COP, plus the two bottles of water which I believe were 4 k each.[/QUOTE]The drink minimum only applies when you take a girl out.
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;1651752]
Aldo has opened a new disco in the old city that is still undergoing remodeling (kitchen, outdoor area, etc.). While the full remodeling probably won't be completed for a couple of months (or more), it is open and a "grand opening" type event is planned for next week. At 3:30 am Sunday night / Monday morning, around 9 or 10 chicas, range of 6 - 8 with all being doable if in need or drinking, LOL. Can't provide name, address and location details, as we've recently learned that there are too many whackos reading this forum, LOL.[/QUOTE]That's the best news I could hear! I can't wait for my next trip there (March, I guess).
I hope he will stop wasting money in side activities (regular know what) and will restore the old glory of Elektra. We all need that. And we all owe him some of our best nights in CTG. Accolades to Aldo!
[QUOTE=Hioctane;1651785]The drink minimum only applies when you take a girl out.[/QUOTE]With all due respect, as I've mentioned in this thread previously, I personally have never encountered a drink minimum whether taking a girl out or not, and neither have any of the guys I know who have been to LDV. I'm not saying that you have not been hit up for a drink minimum; instead I'm saying there is not a drink minimum applied across the board to everyone. There are guys who don't like to spend money at all there, but want to reap the benefits. Those guys get the drink minimum routine. For guys who have established themselves as someone not just there to take, the issue of a drink minimum never comes up, even when they drink only a single bottle of beer or water and take a chica.
It's really not a hard concept to grasp. You've been there to LDV a bunch and exposed to a drink minimum. Myself and other guys have been there a bunch and never exposed to a drink minimum. Are any of us anybody special? I think not. My hunch is that the only thing happening is that it is not unusual for some guys to run a 100 to 200 mil tab by themselves and the people working there know that, and if they don't, Aldo will tell them. People get labeled all the time and they get reputations for being tight when it comes to buying drinks at a bar; only there to enjoy the free entertainment. It's the way the world turns.
Conclusion: If a guy gets hit up for a drink minimum, it's because he is prone or has shown a propensity not to spend money on drinks there, which in turn puts more pressure on the bar in its efforts to pay the bills and turn a profit. It ain't rocket science.

Well said!! I always buy a bottle of rum and tip the door guys. So I never had a problem.

The name of the new place is L'Oprea. It's a block from the old Electra and is right next to Space. Like I said, they've just opened and there's remodeling of the kitchen and upstairs area to be done, but I already like the place. Looks like Aldo is going to do the new place up right.
It's 7:50 am Here in CTG and you know where I am. The curtains and doors to the balcony are drawn open, the smell of the sea and the sound of splashing waves are in the air. I've got some music playing, a tequila in my hand, a little creepy, and an 18-yr old chica asleep in the the bedroom after a mind-blowing 2-hour multiple nut session of getting into each other. One of those times when two people have a physical and mental chemistry that makes for quite the memorable sexual encounter and moment in time. It's what keeps a fella coming back to Cartagena.
I look forward to what the day foretells. .

Gents. Headed to Cartagena. How is the selection at LDV.
Thanks.
Playa Hollywood, I only went there few times. I brought a cooler with ice and beer. Fat Tony is relentless, annoying, just abnoxious, fat black colombiano, he will find you immediately as you get on the beach. The way to get the girls cheaper there is to stay in the water. Tony never goes in the water, and stays away from it. Talk to girls while they are in the water away from Tony who will just fuck things up for you, meaning girls will ask for double, like 200 k for hour, if you let Tony be somewhere close. He also sucked most of my aguardiente in matter of hour since I offered him a shot. Take a zip lock bag for you valuables, like cell, so you can dip in the ocean with it. There are tons of super sketchy, shady guys constantly sitting next to, and walking by your cabana, watch your stuff, don't ever leave it unattended. The other scams are all usual if you ever been to a beach, masages, sketchy 'gifts' of fruits, ceviche, sunglasses, etc. Only talk to girls, if they answer back and talk to you then they are game for ST or more, take numbers and stay in the water to be away from Tony. Cabana with a chair cost me 10 k Peso though he asked 20 k first. Everybody on the beach is sketchy as fuck, watch everything like a hawk, ask prices for everything up front. Avoid Tony if you can, by simply ignoring him and staying close to water. Other option is to get a hat and walk with your cooler up and down the beach close to water out of reach of Tony and other shady characters there and just get numbers of girls there ask for rates and txt them later.

You have to let Tony know from the get go that you are the boss and the one with the money in his pockets and he will somewhat come to his senses and adjust accordingly for the most part, be firm but nice and firmer and less nice if necessary.

The cooler is good. Aguardiente is dirt cheap. Just give him a shot every half hour so he will stop asking you to buy drinks. Another thing to do is put him to work finding you a very particular girl (he actually does know more than half the girls on the beach and has a lot on speedial). When he is busy he doesn't ask you to buy stuff! If he actually does find you a girl, get her number for later and stick to the 100-120 k ST rate.
First Day here and yea tonys fucked up but work him to your advantage. I t was raining like a mother fucker today but I met a great 19 year old today on beach. Full GFE. What a great start. I told her I would take her to dinner tonight see if s she shows. What a great time and fuck. 4 hrs of bliss 150,000 peso and one Gatorade.
