BAQ (and carnival) report
Recently returned from Barranquilla festival held in February 2008, here is a quick report.
The hotel. We got a last minute reservation at Vall Claire Suites Hotel, their website is [url]http://vallclairesuiteshotel.com[/url]
The place is a total dump. Ugly outdated rooms with undersized beds and no TVs. The TV in the living room is a 16 inch box from the 60's. Has a kitchenette, no microwave, and no utensils. You won't want to cook in it. You won't want to bring a girl in it. The place can't hold candle to Motel6. The music blasting from El Prado was nearly unbearable. Stay away. There must be better options.
The girls. There are some cute girls on occasion, but it's nothing like Medellin or even Bogota. The two places for working girls we visited are Pasarella and Lucitania (sp??) both had dogs working there two nights we visited. There is no comparison to LDV, Giro Matto, etc in Cartagena. None. The happening disco is Seven, but we didn't see any prepagos either.
The food. Great place right next to the stadium, called Frutas Los Compadres or something. Basically a large food stand with all kinds of empenadas including empenadas made of potatos backed with meats and cheese inside. Fresh juices. The highlight of my trip, tasty stuff!
Overall, very few foreigners, compared to Cartagena or Medellin or Bogota. People are very friendly. You can certainly have a good time with the girls there for lengthy stays, but the city is a total dump, dirty, ugly, industrial almost, marginal food, hot, and no beach, and absolutely nothing to do during the day! This is my 2 cents, not very encouraging, but I hope it will help somebody planning a visit to Barranquilla.

My experience in Barranquilla
I was there for the Carnival from the 1st to the 5th of February stay in an apartahotel in carrera 47 called Cecils. If you search on las paginas amarillas (yellow pages) theres a lot of info about places to stay. Me and another buddy stayed for 2 nights and another guy stayed 4, we payed 879k COP total, we shared a room with 3 beds, satellite tv, a fridge, bathroom and ac, it was ok for my standards and it was the only thing available we found for those dates, for that money probably during non peak season you could stay there for 2 months jeje.
This place was 2 blocks away from la TROJA, a bar with loud music in an open corner that closes around 5 or 6 am or when a fight starts (I was there during one around 3 am and after that they just closed it) CAUTION this places its mostly for locals, and didn't really see alot of cute chicks there.
Its next door to a Stripclub called La HOJA? I seen that name in here, we went inside around 2 am and there were only like 2 or 3 girls mostly 5 or 6s, its a small bar with too much light.
Two blocks from there and from the Stadium the famous LUSITANIA, the place was ok I didn't see any girl dancing on the stage, all of them were busy in the tables or standing around the bar, I saw a couple of really hot chicks and some crazy ones asking for 360K COP TLN I just started laughing since my buddy got a really cute morena the night before for 120K from 1am to 11am 3 fucks, in the same place.
Now I'm 24, hispanic and blend in perfectly in Colombia or any other latin country, spanish its my primary language but they could easily tell I was not colombian by the accent.
The next day I bought el HERALDO, the local newspaper and called to 4 places that look good to visit during the day, usually the hours are from 10 am to 7 or 8 pm for the massage parlors, and the prices from 30K to 70K, there were at least 20 classifieds for independent, and casas on that paper.
But that they I ended up hooking up with a local nonpro friend of a friend, as well as the rest of my buddies, we went to the beach wich is like 40 mins from the city, I think its a private beach called Villa Country.
Next day I swapped girls with my buddies (these chicks were really cool and never paid a dime just for beers and food during the day) and went to a Vallenato concert, and I was amazed how many hot chicks I saw in that place.
Overall I had a really good time, the chicks are really friendly, easy to talk to (if you speak spanish of course), its a small city, food its good and cheap, the carnival or at least the small part that I saw it was not what I expected, I have been to better one.
And it was really easy to fuck nonpros, you just gotta know how to play the game. Papi would pay for my new boobs? Of course baby. And you never called that one. When you come back can you bring me a gift? Yeah sure mami whatever you want.
I also met decent, and honest girls that didn't fuck and that I'm going back to see really soon.
Again thanks for all the info guys, and if I can help with something I'm open to questions and pms.
