Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=Kafka;2743004]This is standard guests (chicas) must have ID. And you are limited to two people including yourself staying overnight and they must be registered.

Only registered guests at the pool. No putas LOL

If you are chill you are OK. This was standard pre covid.[/QUOTE]Thank you for the help! What I still get confused about is what "Registered" means. Does that mean they are officially added to my room? Or that they're visit is simply logged at the front desk for the short time visit. What I want: short time 1-2 hour costs, a different lady per night, but not having them get added to my reservation. And I am chill, no worries there.

[QUOTE=AcesOnTheRiver;2743018]One learning lesson from the trip- got basically robbed on the boat day trip. Boat drivers and chicas orders drinks and food, they bring the bill out as we were leaving at the cost of 3,500,000 for 8 people- and non of my boys even ordered food. Just one drink each.[/QUOTE]How does this happen to folks? Do you just go about all willy nilly not asking how much things cost before agreeing to buy it? Did you tell the boat drivers to get whatever they wanted and you would pay for it? 800 fucking dollars? Man they would have had to call in the SWAT team on me.

[QUOTE=AcesOnTheRiver;2743018]Just got back couple days ago from a 5 day trip.

Stayed in Posidon building in Laguito as usual- no problems with visitors at all or time restrictions.

Chica pricing relatively same, but does fluctuate depending the girl- there's no set system on pricing. We did our usual pickups from clock tower / LDV / space / delirium- between 500,000-800,000 pesos for 4-5 hours till 4 am, and two leches. Same routine all 5 nights.

All the clubs were shut down Saturday night between like 10 pm and midnight. Something about police / robberies, etc. Came back at midnight to pick up chicas, but maybe only 20-25% chicas came out. Was slim pickings.

One learning lesson from the trip- got basically robbed on the boat day trip. Went to playa blanca first which was cool, they actually had police there who came over to make sure we weren't being harassed. Then went to chalon; got ripped off. Boat drivers and chicas orders drinks and food, they bring the bill out as we were leaving at the cost of 3,500,000 for 8 people- and non of my boys even ordered food. Just one drink each. Smh. Also the boat guys were def in on this, as they went to shore for 5 min as were leaving and hopped back on the boat. However, we will have the last laugh as they accepted my credit card which will now be easily disputed. They will lose out on the full bill Plus the cut they gave to the boat guys jajajajaj.[/QUOTE]Remember my boat report [URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?582-Cartagena-Reports&p=2596444&viewfull=1#post2596444[/URL] Our bill was itemized so it was easy to see what was what.

Your bill looks to be about $800, from what my chicas told me recently, the price of food on the islands went up a lot but not no $800 bill allot. I don't know how many girls you had but if they ordered food and the boat crew ordered as well (usually a crew of 2 minimum) then you and your boys had dinks (did you and your boys pay attention to those drink prices?) then add the 20% surcharge that 3,500,000 COP would require an itemized breakdown before I pay anything, F that bringing me a single large ass number on a napkin BS! I normally only work with Helmer if he's working the island that day and tip him accordingly.

The "Azul something" you are referring to is probably the Blue Apple. My main chica wanted me to take her there for a few nights but not with those American prices for those rooms.

If you are going to play that charge back game I have to warn you, that your boat days may be over. The boat guys and the people that work the islands all know each other and as soon as you decide to step foot on another boat and they recognize you or one of your friends, there will be a problem. I've been there, where my friends and I went to Cholon, rode the jet skis and banana boat and we told them to add it to the bill with the food since we were going to pay with a card (to save the Pesos for chicas). This way we pay fanny pack man with card and he can pay the jetski guys and banana boat guys in cash and everything is all set. We paid then left to go to another island. 30 minutes later the banana boat guys showed up where we were on a separate island 30 minutes away telling us we didn't pay them. My boy start arguing that we did pay and they added it to the bill, meanwhile the thought didn't dawn on me how the fuck they found us because we were going full throttle for a minute, and they showed up to our exact location with that little ass fishing boat (our boat crew told them where we were). Then I checked what was charged and added it up, turns out it was short by quite a bit. What we didn't realize was they only added the jetski to the bill and not the banana boat. Now they want the banana boat money we owed, plus money for the gas they used to track us down and gas money to return back to Cholon. SMH. I shit you not we were going back and forth with them for 30 minutes trying to bring the price down from what they wanted because most of our cash was back at the house. In the end we dropped the price, and paid it. So in short, they may have tried to scam you for $800 but that charge back can bring future problems if you decide to go on another boat to those islands and someone recognize you. If you swiped that card with Fanny Pack guy, he is going to be tight on that charge back.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2743526] Registered means they are officially added to your room and can stay overnight.

I think the terminology can be confusing becuase there are "registered guest" and then the guests of the guests. When I write to the owners to see if I can have girls over I always use the word "visitors" and ask are guests allowed to have overnight visitors.

Okay so with this definition, then the hotel in question seems unlucky to be friendly as they talk in registered guest terms. I give up LOL and I'll just book Ermita.

[QUOTE=Nypher;2740799]I would avoid Playa Hollywood all together but if you want the first hand experience of feeling like a piece of bread surrounded by seagulls, then have at it jajaja.[/QUOTE]Speaking of which. My boy put this in our group chat today. Spot on!

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2743933]Speaking of which. My boy put this in our group chat today. Spot on![/QUOTE]More like fish surrounded by pelicans. Entertaining to watch the large groups of gringos gets surrounded. That's what happens when you pretend to be a player....yiu get played l. Or fished...

Has anyone been with a tall black woman going by the name Zok? I am looking for her information if anyone can share!!

This may be covered by RTFF, but I went back 6 months and could not find it. I apologize but I just learned yesterday that I have no hotel room in Cartegena, and I am supposed to leave for there (for work) in 10 days.

Basically, I see that the Ermita is guest friendly, albeit a bit pricey (but this is covered by my work). I assume this is the Marriott chain Ermita. Correct?

Can someone tell me how GF this hotel actually is?

1. Do I have to register my guests?

2. Can I bring more than one chica to my room for the night?

3. Is there a fee for the girls?

Thanks! MG.

Sammon gave a report in May [URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?582-Cartagena-Reports&p=2697050&viewfull=1#post2697050[/URL] and they followed up in August with how the visitor process was for them [URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?582-Cartagena-Reports&p=2732743&viewfull=1#post2732743[/URL].

I guess you can PM them for any additional questions that was not covered in their posts linked above.

The name itself is one that I do not normally hear so she maybe using another name.

We can give new travelers the heads up what not to do because what will happen, but chances are they will do it anyway and be shocked of the outcome jajaja.

That video shows one of the reasons why I stopped traveling in large groups years ago and enjoy solo travel or group of 3 max because the bigger the group the more chances there will be 1 that will do something stupid messing it up for everyone else.

Thanks! MG.[/QUOTE]I stayed 4 nights at Ermita hotel couple in May and I have posted a report on that. To answer your specific questions.

1. No. When guests come they are asked to fill a form and sign. Do not know what it said because it was in Spanish. Even getting two girls in is no problem.

2. Answered above.

3. No fee.

Although it says Marriott, this is a small hotel. There is a beach across the hotel. Also I went and watched fishermen catch fish from the beach. They were catching big fish and selling. They were cleaning and cutting the fish and lots of people lining up to buy.

From there you see the wall. Short walk to the centro and the clock tower. I went for massage every day at centro. Can walk to the bars as well but I found girls on the street. Taxi is cheap also. There is a small store within 50 yards where you can buy water, drinks, food etc. They have small places which sell snacks along the beach street like arrepas. Delicious. There are some bars also which I did not visit.

From the airport if you are going to take taxi tell them Ermita hotel, Carrera. Not Marriott, in fact there is no Marriott sign outside.

Since I am a valued Marriott member they gave me a nice room on the ground floor. Breakfast for two is included. Adequate with lots of choices and tropical fruits. I took a taxi to many places to sightsee, restaurants. Just went to couple of clubs but did not like it.

If you need more info pm me.
