Panama City

The Marriott has begun charging a chica fee of $30. You can avoid the fee by reserving a room for 2 adults, but surprise, surprise, the room price goes up at least $25.

When does the slow period start in Panama before Easter? Also, when the locals talk about "vacation," just how much of Panama shuts down and for how long?

Thanks.

Are you panamanian? what part of panama are you from? Yo soy de La chorrera[/QUOTE]City rat! XD.

[QUOTE=Dickhead;2151649]In my experience, about 1 in 4 in Hbanos are panameas, often from Coland or David.[/QUOTE]Panamenas?? For real?? Habanos is mainly a ground for colombianas (not too many recently) and venezuelans. Colombianas HATE venezuelans, because of them, the business has gone south, due to venezuelans going out for as low as 30 or even 20 if your game is good.

Usually darker skin. Its fairly easy to tell. I would say its still about 50-30-20. Fifty percent Colombian-Thirty percent Venezuelan-Twenty Percent other including a few Eastern European girls, Peruvian, Dom. Republic, Ticas and Nicas.

I have my doubts on the $20 thing but, if true I would hate to see what a $20 bill gets you.

Arrived yesterday my guest arrives that evening and the charge was $30.00.

Lee.[/QUOTE]Now for the good news:

After my date left I had some dinner and did some window shopping. Everyone I spoke to with one exception seemed to be happy with $100. The exception was looking for 200 dollars but she wasn't that good looking anyway and would not have been worth the time it would take to negotiate.

Was in PTY last year during Easter week. Habanos was closed on good Friday and the days around it, the talent at Habanos was ho hum but deals could be had for cien.

I know it's subjective, but I believe the caliber of ladies is way down in Panama right now, and with the new visa rules, women seem to be in even more of a rush to get done and move on to the next client, so they can maximize their income during the time they have. Between that and the absurd guest fees at the Hyatt and Marriott, Panama is no longer a great destination, IMO.

What would qualify as a "great destination"?

[QUOTE=ThrillSeeker69;2154405]I'm still new to the nuances of Central America.

[QUOTE=Iasian;2154662]What would qualify as a "great destination"?[/QUOTE]This, too, is subjective, but Colombia now seems way better than Panama. Hell, Miami is probably better now, too, when you factor in the cost of flights to PTY vs. MIA. In Miami, you can order reviewed, verified GFE escorts off the internet for as low as $160/ hour without needing to screw around buying drinks, negotiating, and then paying a chica fee.

Does anyone know if there's a chica fee at the Crowne Plaza or the Hilton, and, if there is, the amount? The $30 at the Hyatt has made that place unappealing. Thanks.

Has anyone been to Elite or LE Palace lately? If so, how was it, strictly in terms of stripper attractiveness (and not takeout, etc.)?
