Panama City

Tocumen airport is roughly a half hour outside of the center of town. Easy immigration and customs, pretty easy to navigate. Taxi mafia hits you as soon as you exit. Quoting $30-35 to get you into town. Uber costs $10 (presumably varies with demand) so easy decision. Pickup is at lane 15 or 17 of parking area. Easy to find. The center for mongering purposes is pretty much the Cangrejo area, and there's a bunch of hotels in the financial area that will cover your needs however most of them also charge chica fees. As taxi / uber in town is super cheap I opted to rent an apartment in the San Francisco area. Huge apartment, great views of the ocean, about the same price as the hotel, no chica fees and no front desk hassles. I tend to prefer my own place and am only 10 minutes away, so given the way Panama is structured, easy choice for me again.

Did a quick run around some of the better known local massage places. Went to Tantra, which is in Paitilla at Plaza Balboa on the back side of the building, #30. The door is unmarked so just ring. A so-so looking chica answered and told me for a quick 30 min session (all I wanted) was going to be $70 for HJ and as this is their "express" session you can't shower. Say what now? I said thanks and left without inquiring further. I should have, but whatever. Place looked ok but nothing special.

Next I went to Valuptatem, buried in the center of a shopping plaza. GPS will take you around the right side of the building and into the upper parking lot where the helpful chap will then tell you to cross the lot and take the stairs back down to come into an outside hallway and there it is. Otherwise, just face the plaza and look for the hallway to save some exploring. LOL. The place looked nothing special and the girl who answered was middle of the pack too, Prices there were $80/120. I thought that was overpriced and so moved on.

Next I went to Relax Oriental, which is up near Ave, Espana, pretty much behind the Metro RX. Walk down the side street past the sports bar and into the walkway on the right. The place is at the end of the row of business spaces on the right. I walked in there and this wall-eyed slip of an ancient hag greeted me at the door. Along the wall were 6 girls who ranged from ugly to uglier. Maybe one of them was a 5. They all had cheap and sort of drab lingerie on and the place just looked dirty and ugly. The quoted price was $60/ HR, so maybe worth a peek to see if a diamond shows up, but my reaction was just "yech!

The Veneto is closed now, of course, but there was still some street action in the street in front of it. No partaking of anything for me, but maybe some useful info for you guys. Appears to be a bunch of stuff being advertised on Wanuncios, Locanto, Mercado Libre, OLX and Encuentra24.

Will be doing some exploring over the next couple of days.

OK, so Monday night and I head out to Habanos. Showed up at about 9:30 pm. Between 9:30 and 10 pm filled up quite bit. I'd say maybe 80 girls and about 15 guys. Talent was decent but not as high as usual, mind you I didn't stay late or long. General range of about 6-9. Girls start asking for $150 but most appear willing to drop to $100, which is fine if you can negotiate the services you want. As a measure of scale a Corona costs 7 bucks there. Girls are medium aggressive and depart quickly (most) once you tell them you're not leaving with them. Girls dressed to kill and showing you what they've got, and most of them have a lot to show. No shortage of fake tits and ass there. I took some quick and discreet photos in order to show you guys, but the quality isn't great because the people there don't approve of pictures for obvious reasons. Still, the place was hopping and it's Monday.

Went to Alejandros (right next to Hooters) which is considerably more laid back. Girl next door types or girls that would starve at Habanos. No pressure from the girls, maybe about 15 total while I was there, ranging from 4-7's. Asking was starting at $150 (hahaha) and girls immediately backed off of that. One advantage to Alejandros is that they have rooms on site for $30/ HR, so if you don't want to, or can't take a girl back to the hotel then you have a good option. Some photos here of the front section of the bar. The "bar" portion, rather than the veranda portion, was empty tonight. Corona $4.

Went to the little bar next to Habanos on the right. Just a little place and a few girls hanging around and a bunch of street girls that don't want to pay the entry into Habanos hoping to get cast offs. Good place to relax with a beer if you want to get away from pushy girls. $4 for a Corona there.

I've been doing a lot of the online ad stuff. There's tons of straight up escort ads as well as various types of massage ads, with whatever extras might be available from that. Prices generally seem to run from a low of about $40 for massages to about $80 per hour. Lots available in that price range. Lots of Venezuelans. Of course there's a bunch of digging to do but it's pretty clear that especially if you live in Panama that digging out good talent at non-Habanos prices isn't particularly difficult. Creating a little black book would be super easy. I'd like to build up a book of good massage girls that provide some extras, rather than MP ho's who will slide their fingers up and down your back. I've found a couple of them already. I really enjoy a good daytime massage and can enjoy that on its own but having the options of some extras is nice.

So, earlier today took a jaunt out to Costa Del Este, which is pretty close from San Francisco and went to a place I found online called Beauty Secret. Chatted via whatsapp with a girl and then made my way out to the location. When I got there the location was a commercial building rather than the residential one I was expecting. I went up and it looks like the MP took over a Regus type setup whereby one larger office space was broken up into sub offices. 3 of them had been set up with massage tables. OK. I had to wait a minute so I sat on the couch at the entrance and looked out through the clear glass door and people going in and out of the the business next door. First time I ever sat in the Couch of Shame. LOL. The girl who greeted me came out and was a cute librarian type, which I like. She let me know that there were other girls available, 5 in total, and I was welcome to any of them if I liked. I said she was fine, which she liked. Colombian named Samantha with small but nice boobs, a very nice butt and glasses. She let me know that it was $40 for a straight massage, $50 for a happy ending, $80 for an in lingerie massage and $120 for a 4 hands in lingerie massage. I took the $50 option and she asked why I didn't want her in under. I said it was because I was face down in a hole and wouldn't appreciate it from there. So off we went. Only when we got started did it occur to me to ask about showers. There aren't any. The solution is that the girl wipes you down with hot, wet towels. I'm ok with that. She gives me a really good massage that really strips away the gym ache from my muscles then we go to the flip. I told her now is the time to negotiate the clothing removal. I got her down to $20 extra, but she let me play with everything over and under and provide a very nice service. Also, she advised me that she is available to work offsite on her days off and that everything would be om the table at that point. Happily noted. Hot towel cleaning was very pleasant, although not as thorough as a massage.

I really liked the girl and the price was ok, but the place needed some remodeling. It has only been open 2 months and I'm told that renovations are coming to accommodate the business. I would repeat with the girl. This might be a good option for someone who has a short time to go somewhere from the airport as it's about 10 minutes out of downtown in the airport direction.

So, went to the Bocatorena whuch is a local brothel near Casco Viejo. Habanos crowd doesn't make it here. , mostly, LOL. Looks like a dark bowling alley bar with two sides. Tons of girls and guys at 4 pm,. Looks like some guys getting off work as lots cycled in within minutes of my arrival.

Tons of girls, as I said. More than a few would have fit right in at Habanos. Others not. Lots of big tits and big asses for the juicy lovers. 2 dollars for local beers and that's all anyone was drinking. Girls were 15 bucks for 15 minutes, including the room. Went with one girl and the rooms were about what you'd expect. MP size rooms with twin bed and funky lighting with poorly painted walls. This is not a YMMV place. I took a half hour and they start banging on the door 3 minutes before your time is up so book enough time! The girl indicated that she was available offsite 70/ HR or 120/2 hrs. Interestingly she told me that she had worked at Habanos and didn't like it there because there was no guaranteed cash if she went there, as opposed to the Boca. I guess it's like McDonalds, and you're doing it on volume! As another funny anecdote she told me she had done work in Europe too, and that the european guys liked having a finger in their ass when she was blowing them, and since I have white skin, well. She also told me that latin guys most emphatically do NOT like having a finger stuck in their ass. I think I used up at least a minute or so of my half hour laughing at that.

The place was fun and I'll go back but the area might be sketchy at night so be aware. You are only one block from very touristy and safe area but be aware.

I haven't seen any recent info on this place after RTFF, and am wondering if anyone has any recent experience staying there. Prices are cheap but can't find whether it is chica friendly and if so what the chica fee is, if any. It's up about a long block or so over from where the Veneto was. Thanks gents.

The place is a dump, even after a remodel several months ago. And they lack showers. I've never seen a diamond there, but I often get really great service from various 6's or 7's who really like to bang. The hours, location, discreet entry, and price make this my most frequent location.

[QUOTE=JohnDough69;2413077]So I booked at Eurostar after reading the recommendations here about the no chica fee, well upon check out I was surprised with surveillance photos of me entering the room with chicas and assessed a $50 fee per guest. I was able to lower the price by saying it was a repeat girlfriend. I thought I was discreet too walking in through the casino and using that elevator. But once again they literally showed me screen captured pictures of me from their surveillance cameras walking into my room with the girls. Bummer because for the price and proximity to Habanos and everything else Eurostar's felt like a steal.

Maybe someone has advice on how to avoid paying that fee. When I asked how long they've been charging it they said 2016, which sounds like bullshit to me, but just be aware. I chose Eurostar after reading the reviews on this forum and felt like a real dumbass having to pay that fee (LOL). Oh well, I still had a blast.

Now, I must say I am eager to return to Panama, Habanos was a two floor bar / indoor outdoor lounge with nothing but sexy Colombians, Venezuelans and some Panamanians. It was very hard to select because of the caliber of talent on there. I had a friends who's opinion I trust go to Alexandros and he told me not to even waste my time so I didn't and Habanos it was for me! I was told by some locals that near Casco Viejo there are some very cheap ($20) options. This was confirmed by another lost I read here, just an FYI if you are adventurous.[/QUOTE]Sorry to hear that you got charged the chica fees. I have done this many times and so far I have been lucky by using the elevator at the casino. Just a quick question, which camera took your pictures? I don't recall seeing a camera at the casino elevator unless they just installed it recently.

I'll probably duck back in again though, just to have a look.

Today I pursued some online leads and went for a massage. The girl's name is Luisa and she is a trained masseuse, as well as a nuru provider (yay!) and some extras. Perfect. Went over to see her and she gave me a very decent deconstructive massage (but not as good as Patricia) as well as an absolutely fabulous nuru. She was very attentive, a nice colombiana from Bogota. She also gave me free access to touch and play with whatever I wanted, which I availed myself to. Fully naked from the get go, and really seemed to appreciate that I wasn't grabbing the crap out of her, but was caressing and fondly in a slow, teasing way. She told me afterwards she was really enjoying it, which is why in addition to giving me just a happy ending she mixed it with a slow, languid blowjob while oiling up my balls. It was excellent, and I will be going to see her again. We really got along well. Unfortunately I struck out again on the shower. She had one, but cold water only.

OK, so this has become important enough that a side note is required. Panama City is doing a complete inspection and overhaul of its gas system. Every building is having the lines inspected and replaced where necessary. Now, this wouldn't seem to be a big deal, except that first the lines must be inspected by the gas plumbers, then by the gas company itself. Once that's done then the firemen also need to inspect it, and then the paperwork needs to be done and processed by city hall so that the gas guys are authorized to turn the gas back on again. That's right folks, the gas is turned off meanwhile. So, if the process goes well and there are no hitches it takes approximately 2 months, during which there is no gas for cooking (everyone has a gas stove) or for hot water. So, my considered advice to you if you are going to be staying in a private lodging is to ensure that this isn't happening where you want to stay. Apparently it has been up to a year for some places. Yikes.

Next, it was time to visit La Gruta Azul (the blue grotto). It is the oldest brothel in Panama (almost 100 years old) and advertises happy hour 2 for 1 between 12 pm-7 pm, on national drinks, so I decided to go by for a drink. The place seems to suffer from an identity crisis. , since it can't decide whether it's a strip club, a brothel or dinner theatre from the looks of it. When I got there the girls were sitting outside on the terrace, and there were only a few of them. So I got to take some pics of the inside no problem. I had a beer and at about 6:30 pm the guys started coming in. A few girls too. Apparently they have a show every hour which consists of a strip tease. Good way to preview the girls I guess. Doesn't seem often enough to me but whatever. Could be more. It was quiet enough that I didn't want to wait for it to fill. I will go back later in the day at some point. Definitely a night time place.

Here's a few photos of Luisa (that she sent to me) and of the gruta azul.

Forgot to provide photos of the Bocatorena earlier. Since this had lots of people in it I needed to be discreet and the pictures aren't what I would like them to be, but no gringos were harmed in these photos and I avoided the ire of the girls and staff, so maybe this helps a little.

So, I had a busy evening. I went back to the Gruta Azul at about 10 pm to see what it would be like when the action started. I was surprised to arrive there to find that there were a bunch of guys sitting around waiting for something to happen. I had passed 4 girls sitting on the terrace smoking and talking when I walked in. They were still there when I walked about about 30 minutes later. Inside were about 15 guys and 4 girls with their asses stuck to the wall. No circulation at all, and the girls outside never came in while their clients were languishing inside. The DJ was talking about all you needed was 30 dollars to get with the girls, or, naturally the "special" of $120/ HR. Obviously he's preaching to the inbreds with no grasp of math, or he didn't understand what "special" meant. I give even odds either way. Good business model? Not so much. Guys were starting to bail and as soon as I finished my beer so did I. Surprised and disappointed. Dead sausage fest on a Friday night.

Went down to Alejandros. About 15 girls there, and a couple of cuties that I would have been willing to do, but half of the bored girls there were smokers, including the ones I thought were cute, and I'm not partial to ashtray mouth ever since I quit myself. Off I went.

Next I decided to check out the La Palace. Holy jumpin' jehosephat Batman! I walked in, and it's wall to wall smoking hot chicks, and I mean smoking hot. Nothing less than a strong 7, and littered with 8's and 9's, all wearing identical white lingerie type things with their asses hanging out. There were a lot of colombian asses in there. I'd recognize them anywhere. LOL. I sat down to have a beer and look at the pretties when I got my first shock of the night. I handed the bartender a $20 for my beer and got $7 back. WTF! I asked him about prices and he told me Corona $13 and Balboa $12. Wow. I waved over a girl and started chatting with her. Take out only at this bar, with $150 barfine to take her out and the girls were starting at $300/ HR on top of that. I couldn't believe it. Now, the girls were stunning, granted, but that was just insane. $500 night for a girl and a 3-4 beers.

Since I was near Habanos I went there. The usual type of crowd. Lots of girls and after chatting with a few I settled on one. Negotiated $100 for 1. 5 hrs. The girl was fine and lived up to all her obligations and in 2 years I won't even remember her but for tonight it was a pleasant interlude.

Here's a couple of hastily sneaked photos of La Palace. I was VERY careful not to let anyone see me taking them there, fast and dirty, with predictable results. Wish I could have given you more, but everyone hates people taking photos in strip clubs and brothels, and I try to be careful not to include foreign mongers, so it is what is is.

I wish someone could tell me about the hotels and casinos at the JW (formerly Trump) and the Hard Rock. Oh well, maybe I'll have to fall back on the old Marriott across from Habanos.

Live 4 69.

Tell us more about la palace would be fun to check it out on the next trip. I'm in Managua in Nicaragua and I can't find a place where I can go and have fun and take out pussy. There is nothing mentioned about it on the forum.

Cheers and peace.

The street is called La Calzada and is walking only and with bars and restaurants on both sides. Used to be a pretty cool place. A few girls walking and working and maybe a real fox if you get lucky. There are also some clubs where the rich go and some beauties hang out. Not working girls but rich WG out for the night. There used to be young Europeans too but hard to hit on if you are older but a young guy could. Best to see if someone with more current info will chime in. It may be worth a try before heading to Panama. Colombia would be my choice over Panama though.

The location is about 2 blocks from Habanos. Anything else and you'll probably have to go and visit yourself, but there's lots of places to source women here, not just La Palace. If there's something else you're looking for then ask and I'm sure either me or someone else here can answer for you.
