Sao Luis

[Sperto]

São Luis, update.

* Where to stay: Projeto Reviver.

* Hotel/pousada: See two posts below.

* Sights: Reviver is the historical center. Very interesting.

* Beaches: Praia Calhau has a nice wide beach. Not many people around but good quality on the few girls I met there.
Praia Ponta D'areia is a smaller beach with reggaebars. Popular on Sundays.

* Safety: I found Sao Luis quite safe. However there are many drugaddicts around, crackudos. Lots of police in cars and on bikes at nighttime.

PRO-SCENE:
* Several exclusive stripclubs/puteiros. All far from Reviver. I visited none of those.
* Bar São Sebastiao/Puteiro Oscar Frota: See post below.
* Praça-pro's: There used to be a bunch of SW-pro's hanging around on the Praça in front of the big church. Almost none left.
* Reviver-pro's: There also used to be plenty of SW-pro's strolling around the alleys of Reviver. Very few left.

NON-PRO-SCENE:
* Reviver used to be excellent for meeting non-pro's. The problem now is that Reviver has lost a lot in popularity the last years. Partly because of all the drugaddicts and people feeling unsafe going there. Another reason is that after 10 PM Reviver gets invaded by hords of veados and sapatonas. Quite a ugly scene. The result is that there are much less non-pro potential than it used to have.
* Chopperias: There are a bunch of chopperias after the bus terminal heading in the direction of the fish market. Some of the chopperias I used to like are closed. Chopperia Kabão is one of the most popular. Avoid Thursdays as they only play very slow Bolero and with an average age that is very high. Fridays and Saturdays are better but still not very good. Lots of people but many older women, young fat girls and only a small percentage of hot non-pro girls. Also a dozen of decent pro's.
* My best option this year was going for non-pro's at daytime. I strolled around a lot in Reviver, entering a lot of souvenirshops, museums etc. Several very cute girls works in the shops. Take phonenumbers, date and invite them back to your pousada. I also recommend the guide-girls working at some of the museums. Some hot university students serving as guides. Another option are the brazilian tourist girls. I scored well with the non-pro's in São Luis and I'm very satisfied with my visit. My last night here I spent with a beautiful black waitress with a melon-ass. Only expense was R$5 for her moto-taxi when she left in the morning.

Bar São Sebastião alias Puteiro Oscar Frota.
Close to Mercado Central.

More or less 6 bars and several houses with short-time rooms. Located in a smelly alley.
Rough area, so dress down. Everybody was friendly.
A kind of mini-Vila Mimosa, just smellier and rougher.
Open until 7 PM.
About 50 girls working there.
Prices: The majority of the girls ask for R$40-50. Some fuglies ask for R$20. Rooms R$10-15.

Quality of the girls. Out of 50 girls I first only noted 2 doable girls. The majority are fat and ugly. You really need patience and a lot of luck to find something doable here. Also some drug addicts around.
One of the doable girls was a fresh 18 year old cute girl with a nice butt. Unfortunately a fat guy had just chosen her. No way I could be number two. The second doable girl was a cute black girl. Turned out to be too skinny.

I almost gave up my hope to find something nice. I posted myself strategically as always where I could see the new girls arriving. After 15 minutes a black girl arrived. Wow, very hot. Allt the local guys started to eye-f*ck her. I quickly followed her into one of the bars. Interesting girl. in the evening/night she works at one of the expensive stripclubs. Since three days she also works daytime at Oscar Frota to get extra cash. She wanted R$70, but I negotiated down to R$50. R$15 for the room. The room was just about OK.

Karlita: mulatta, 19 years, beautiful face and eyes, strong firm legs, round rock-hard bubblebutt medium size and fantastic tits. Large, very firm natural tits standing straight out in an unreal way. Allows photos, gives wonderful BBBJ, excellent session, very tight and finished with BBBJCIM. She gave me her phone munber. Wanted to go with me tonight to Chopperia Kabão. Won't happen as I don't bring sand to the beach.

There has been som discussions regarding the prices at Lord Hotel.
The prices for single rooms are:
Room with AC and bathroom, R$85, with a discount R$75.
Room with ventilator and bathroom, R$70, with a discount R$65.
Room with ventilator and shared bathroom, R$50.
Bringing a girl to your room cost R$15 extra.

I've always stayed at lord Hotel when in So Luis. Great location, very GF and a nice feeling of old colonial hotel. I arrived at Lord Hotel last night. First I thought it was closed. No Hotel sign on the outside and totally dark on the inside. A reception guy opened. Welcome to ghost hotel. I feel sorry for the reception guy, he must be the dumbest guy in Maranho. Finally he managed to show a couple of single rooms with bathrooms. I chose the least ugly one. Lord Hotel has been a bit run-down for several years, but now it's just to much.

My room (which was one of the better ones) had broken light, broken fan, broken furnitures, dirty frigobar, tiny towel and big cockroach run up my leg when I took a shower. The mattress was stone hard and seem filled with round stones. I was mad as hell this morning and the morning receptionist showed a half dozen other rooms. All shitty. Lord Hotel is history. No way I'll ever return.

I checked out almost a dozen other hotels/pousadas. There are some cheap R$40 awful places even worse than Lord Hotel, a bunch of motels, some not GF pousadas and some decent but overpriced pousadas.

I chose Pousada do Porto, 150 m up the road from Lord Hotel. Superclean rooms, wonderful beds, AC, flat-TV, frigobar, spotless bathrooms, good wifi and great brekfast. R$80 (with a discount). R$20 extra when GF visits.

Sidenote: At 7.30 this morning I met a girl on the praca outside Lord Hotel. What a sight! Very beautiful, fabulous body, dressed in a weird but sexy outfit and really heavily painted. Looked very sexy and scary. A goth girl, maybe even a goth GP.

I agree Amazonia is much 'nicer'. And 135 is a good price. Is it gf though? Didn't look like to me. (I'm sure you could drag anything into the Lord and they wouldn't even notice). Personally I'm not convinced of the value of travelling to Sao Luis for anything (other than Bumba-Meu-Boi). But flights are good and it gives you access to other places. The Lord is cheap. Much cheaper than anywhere else. And, surprisingly, after I had got over my initial shock, it does have some charm. It's like a place that time forgot. You might not agree, but several people have found the same. Amazonia is as touristy as it gets. But good to have several hotels listed so people can pick and choose. And also have a back-up if need be. So thanks for mentioning Amazonia. Let's keep it to info rather than having a go at each other's tastes. The board is for everyone.

I look forward to your update on SL Golfino

Was in São Luis last week and stayed there for R$100 per night through Agoda. Nice hotel, but my room had no windows. Good breakfast but spotty wifi. Hung around reviver and met a local girl that I brought back. No questions asked or I'd check and was charged an extra R$30 since I was booked in as a single person. Other than reviver, there is a forró place that is packed Friday through Sunday called Kabão that's a R$10 taxi from reviver. Sundays after 4pm there is a good reggae place called chama maré at ponta the'areia. Didn't really see any p4p there but I got lucky to have an instant gf for the weekend.

[Golfinho]

You are maybe reading it off their website. I can't imagine them charging that when you walk in unless you have dollars tattooed on your forehead. I've just checked. I paid 65Rs a night for casal including breakfast and that was only a few months ago.

Reading it on the rate chart posted on the wall behind the reception desk. Note the difference in price posted in room."it is 'old price. ' " as shabby as this hotel is, any price is too much, if you can imagine.

Want to dictate mon petit Napoleon, sounds like you need to start your website.

Well, no need, happily there is on ISG good added-value posters who ACTUALLY travel and post entertaining and well-written reports and stories. Admittedly, if all members were like you and posted solely polemical BS about imaginery trips, the site wouldn't be of high added-value. Learn from DD per exemple.

[Golfinho]

\Also don't hesitate to post entertaining narratives, self-reflexions about the different scenes available, tactical considerations for non-pro dating and observations about Sao Luis girls psyche, funny accounts featuring lots of caipirinhas and poon, ect.

[Prosal]

just browbeating, boasting, bragging, bullying and begrudgeing just your natural way of behaving.

Well, you are admittedly much more skilled than me skilled for venimous diatribes, sarcasm and scorful assertions (your main occupation here, beside alleged travels) , so I won't add verbal escalation to your BS.

Maybe, instead of spending your precious time to argue, you could put real added-value information about Sao Luis, I mean not a pot-pourri of things that you have found on internet or on older posts here? Some news about the current best beach bars (is Zanzibar on Calhau beach still "in"?) , the best spots in Reviver, an analytical overview of nightlife, an elaborate list of current trendy clubs, ect, would be great. Also don't hesitate to post entertaining narratives, self-reflexions about the different scenes available, tactical considerations for non-pro dating and observations about Sao Luis girls psyche, funny accounts featuring lots of caipirinhas and poon, ect. It would be more productive than your venom.

How come you haven't spent a few days in Belem by the way, as you've (allegedly) arrived in Brasil by there? How someone can have no desire to stop in the City of Mangos (maybe the most culturally interesting city in Brasil) is beyond me.

Good for you! Only a decade more after I was first in Brazil, but understandably not everyone is able to achieve financial independence at young age.

Hmm. Obviously you have difficulties to read. I said that 98 was the year when I first was in Sao Luis, not in Brasil. FYI, for almost five years in the early 90's, I have been at least three times a year in Club Med Itaparica. No need to be ironic, to each its own. Club Med in Brasil was at this period a poon and party paradise (and a heavenly place on the best beach of the island) , with more horny upmarket Paulistas, Cariocas and Argentinas chicks that a skilled guy can deal with.

[Golfinho]

First time I was in Sao Luis was in 1998 by the way, and I made the very first report on this thread when Jackson created ISG.

Good for you! Only a decade more after I was first in Brazil, but understandably not everyone is able to achieve financial independence at young age. And not everyone has such unfortunate experience in Brazil as you to fuck one-track mind goldiggers, piranhas or prostitutes. As for Russia (while I don't disagree with you) , haven't you gone on enough about it on Brazil threads? Or is just browbeating, boasting, bragging, bullying and begrudgeing just your natural way of behaving.

[Prosal]

But evidently you don't travel much.

Admittedly, I now don't really feel the need to travel halfway around the world to fuck one-track mind goldiggers, piranhas or prostitutes, as I have so many Russian GFs visiting me in Paris (on their own account) all year-round that I can't even juggle with.

Anyway, a tip to back up your "reports" (apart from agoda and skyscanner) about your alleged travels. On apontator dot com, you will find everything you need to know about nightlife in Sao Luis, and more globally in Brasil. (rolleyes)

Waiting for your pics.

Just for the record, I sent an email yesterday at Pousada Porta das Amazonia. Here is the answer. Hmm. Either you have great negociation skills, either you are BSing us.

Either you have great skills in ignoring reality or you have become obsessed by someone who does what you can only fantasize about. Whatever, not here to diagnose you, mon cher. Upon confirmation, a voucher was received from the Pousada: rate for the better room was 135 reales. If you insist on subjecting yourself to further embarrassment and wasting yet more bandwith, I'll be glad to post the voucher. Otherwise, the important thing to note here by right thinking people is: avoid rack rate rip-offs and use agoda. Com.

Either you have too much time on your hands or you're determined to be my personal groupie. How very flaattering, mon cher.

As Christopherd pointed out about hotel pricing and rack rates, I hope you were paying attention. If you're not, you should be using agoda. Com. But evidently you don't travel much. Portadasamozonas was (is) 53 USD, payable in cash or 135 reales. That's agoda. Com and that's what I paid and let them do the negotiating.

Amazonia is 135 reales for their better room Prozal.

Just for the record, I sent an email yesterday at Pousada Porta das Amazonia. Here is the answer. Hmm. Either you have great negociation skills, either you are BSing us.

It must be an interesting journey, I'd be curious to hear about it, (yeah, I checked, too much time on my hands today) , and anyway it would have been ridiculous to fly 5000 km south to Sao Paulo.

Ridiculous indeed, mon cher. Try skyscanner.com. It'll save you some time. If you ever get the wherewithall to actually travel. Wouldn't want to be neglecting that bottlecap collection. [roll eyes] feel better?
