[QUOTE=GasparLeMarc12;1857036]I'm going the 1st week of April. I can't say for sure in SS, but my impression is Backpage is even less reliable there than in the States. I prefer to get out around town a bit anyways.
Thanks though.[/QUOTE]You will be there way before me than as I'm not going down there until late April. I do look forward to your report though!
[QUOTE=GasparLeMarc12;1856382]Hello everyone,
I've been many places in region but this is my first time in El Sal. I only have a quick overnight, due to a layover from a longer trip to a couple other places, but it cost no money so I figured might as well get another stamp in my passport. Both my real one and monger one, LOL. SO I've been RTFF a lot and have come up with a loose game plan to maximize my time. Probably staying at Hilton, arrive in evening. I suppose I'll try to head out ASAP and go to Kiss Fresh before they close, 9 pm correct? If not then Zou Spa (both are close via cab correct? Then some dinner, any recommendations in the area? After that and freshen up, then Lips just to check it out for the experience and after Kairos where I can actual get takeout (maybe TLN) correct? Or if that's dead try Insominia. OK so how does that sound, again it's a loose plan, short on time but want to make the most of it. How does it sound, am I missing any must see's or any holes in my plan? Any opinions or thoughts are great. I'll report back. Thanks again!
Gaspar.[/QUOTE]Sounds like a good plan. If you want Pupusas there will be plenty of places around. If your looking for really good steak try La Hacienda Real. Great place and reasonably priced.

Gaspar.[/QUOTE]Hook up w / Robert and he'll take care of you. You can only do so much but Lips is a real treat, eye candy wise, don't be a sucker.
Headed to BKK very soon but the Latinas are always in my mind and oh so sweet. Have a ball.
I see that Zou Spa has been posting pics of their girls on their Facebook page recently. Usually with their bikinis on and from behind shots. At least half of these girls are a bit on the thick side for my personal taste. Nothing exciting over at Kiss Fresh's Facebook page.
I know that in general, San Salvador is not really a walking city since things are spread out. But as I print out various Google Maps, I see that where I'm going to be staying at Hotel Happy House, which is steps away from the Intercontinental and the big mall, is smack right in the middle between Kiss Fresh and Zou Spa. I'm planning to visit these places during either late mornings or mid afternoons and I see pretty easy 15 minute walks to each one from my hotel.
I'm guessing that as long as I stay on the bigger streets as long as I can during these daylight hours, I should be okay. I have ample time during the day and this will give me an opportunity to do some city walking anyway and see what's out there along the way.
I see that Zou Spa is also only around the corner from La Mansion 316 too so there are potential three places within easy walking distance during the daytime.

[URL]http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world.html[/URL][/QUOTE]Really? Even the immediate areas around the Intercontinental hotel and big mall? Kiss Fresh and Zou Spa seem only minutes away in either direction.
A cab will cost approx $5.
Splurge and use a taxi.
Okay made it into SS. I flew from Roatan since this is my last leg of my trip. Nice looking girls in the duty free at the Airport so I was in the mood already. The customs official did not speak much English and I speak only a bit of Spanish but we got through it. I paid him $20 for a tourist card he put on my passport. I think as the biggest airport in Central America, they should be bilingual. Heck, all of the staff servicing travellers in Roatan's tiny airport were bilingual.
I got picked up by a guide I found online since I will be using him for a day trip to Copan ruins. He took me to Hotel Happy House which is walking distance to the Intercontinental hotel and Metrocentral mall. My large room with three beds private bath was just $25 per night and was very clean.
My guide actually gave me a free driving tour of where Kiss Fresh was. It was certainly walkable from my hotel but the daytime temperature was over 30 degrees Celcuis which is way too uncomfortable for me. So I took a cab for $6. He also took me to where Lips was.
If the daytime temps were about 18 degrees Celcuis, I would definitely walk it to Kiss Fresh. So cabs it is then.
I got to Kiss Fresh and they hooked me up with Jonathan who speaks English. Cover was $7 which includes a drink. He said whenever I was ready, he will call a lineup of girls over. They announce this on the PA. The girls one by one shake my hand. Although most of the girls were quite pretty, about two thirds were thicker than what I like. But I settled on a skinny 20 year old blonde whose uncommon name I forgot.
I declined to offer to buy her a drink and she gathered some stuff We went upstairs. The room as well as the entire bar was nicely done. She washed me over a little steel bowl of water. Then we got to business as I took a Thursday 45 min special for $34. Usual prices are $32 for 30 min, $37 for 45 min and $42 for 60 min.
I was not able to finish and this young thing seemed to be disappointed when I said I was done without the leche. She then wanted me to lie in bed with her. I am not sure if this was because she was not allowed to leave the room if the session was under what I paid for or not. But I would have fine with this. So I stayed for awhile longer.
The staff was quite helpful as they called a cab, likely a private one, for me and my rate back to my hotel was also $6. Kiss Fresh is a nice place although I personally prefer to bring girls in my room where I control any music playing etc. But I don't think late nights will work for this trip since a have early mornings scheduled.
After Copan, if I have the energy, I will hit mansion 316 since it opens late. And on my last day, I will try Zou Spa. The Backpage ads are all quoting $100 so not good option for me. I like the Kiss Fresh prices and the adequate lighting there allows me to see what the girls look like although many have no smiles.
Will report on the other places as I visit them.
Nice report.
I am thinking of going next month. Just because it is the only country in Central America I have not been to.
It would mostly be a one day or two stay.
First stop is going to be Costa Rica and then Guatemala and on the way back El Salvador.
But I might do Copan and Tikal from Guatemala.

It's Saturday late morning and overcast in SS so I decided to try walking down to Zou Sports Bar. Lots of locals walking about around the Metrocentro mall area and since it was a few degrees warmer, I opted to walk down via the east side of the mall. I blended in by wearing jeans instead of shorts, a golf shirt and dark glasses. Since I have black hair, I should not bring too much attention to myself.
Stayed on the big streets until the pseudo residential area where Zou was which is also across from a sports stadium. There were still some people walking around (both men and women). Zou Bar is not clearly marked by there were some guys standing in front of a garage like opening as well as an armed guard across the street watching so I figured this was the place. They confirmed and once inside the garage area and checked, I was motioned to go up a stairway that led to a doorway which said Zou Sports Bar.
A hostess welcomed me and my cover was $5 including a drink. The inside is much smaller than Kiss Fresh and not as nice. It was much like somebody's outdated rec room with the addition of a stripper pole. I was their first customer and there were only about 8 girls working. They did their presentation and although as a group, they were not as good as the group on Kiss Fresh, they were okay and I picked a 19 year old named Jocelyn.
It was $28 for 30 min, $33 for 45 min and $40 for an hour. I took the 45 min. Priced were better here than Kiss Fresh but again it was not as good quality. My girl took me behind where there were a few rooms and a share bathroom where we showered. They did not use the water bowl thing like they did at Kiss Fresh.
My girl worked harder than the one I had at Kiss Fresh. I started out okay but again I did not finish. This time I warned the girl in advance that I may not finish and she was fine with that. When I terminated the session, we showered again. We were provided with only one single towel between the two of us which I thought was cheap if two people showered before and after.
When I came out after dressed at about noon, two more guys had come. All of the staff inside Zou when I was there were women. I took my bottle orange juice out with me since I figured it would be good for the walk back.
I decided to take another route back to my hotel which was just a three minute walk north from the Intercontinental hotel. The return route went past Mansion 316 which is a green house on a corner and I went north from there to connect back on main streets and this time I went up west along the big mall. Lots of traffic and people at the Metrocentral mall district.
So at no time during my route down and then back up to my hotel did I ever feel unsafe. The temps are borderline for me as I made it back to my hotel.
So Zou was worth visiting but Kiss Fresh is obviously the higher quality venue but a bit more pricey. For me, I think there will likely always be at least 1-2 girls I would do at these places.
If the temps were higher like the case of clear skies, I would probably take the cab. But I at least demonstrated that walking is possible although uncommon regarding walking to one of these bars.
I might return later in the evening to check out Mansion 316 since it opens to late at night.

One of the best archeological sites in the entire Mayan world, with a very good museum on site as well. And the little town nearby has a really cool, laid back vibe with nice bars and restaurants. Didn't have a chance to checkout the local scene as I had brought my own entertainment along, but Hell, I've no doubt it's there.
If he's still around, a young tuk-tuk driver by the name of Jesus would be your man. Knows everyone, everything, and will take good care of you. He's got a taste for the local chicas himself.
I forgot to mention in my Kiss Fresh report that there are several uniformed armed guards throughout the place (one outside and several inside) while at Zou Sports Bar, there was only one outside and none inside. Don't let the presense of the armed guards deter you. I think it was overkill at Kiss Fresh but anyway.
I never did make it to Mansion 316 as I was too tired and had a very early morning pickup for 5 am for the airport. By the way, it was my guide who also provided airport pickup and return at about 2/3 the cost of cabs. He was very reliable for both the airport transfers as well as the Copan and city tours. Message me private if you want his contact info.
So San Salvador was a cheap monger town for sure and the safety aspect did not bother me, even when I was walking around during the daytime. Having said that, I am not returning anytime soon since although costs (girls, hotels, food) were cheap, I just prefer no to do the brothel or incall route as I much prefer girls back in my own hotel room more but I did not have enough Spanish in me to pull it off.
So thanks again for everyone's contribution here as much info helped me during my trip. Other places besides El Salvador to go but glad that I did experience it. Perhaps see some of you at another country thread.

Too bad you missed Mansion 316, one of my favorite places.
