Panama City

Before I begin Day 2, I want to close out Day 1. After returning from date 3 and typing up the report. I realized I worked myself up an appetite. At about 10 pm I decided on late dinner at Beirut walked around to check out the Hablanos scene and it's a hard pass for me. Far better more cost effective options out there for the same thing or better. Again, not interested in bringing anyone back to my hotel but it would be super convenient. This place is a stone's throw from AC Marriott.

Day 2: If anyone here gives a shit, AC has a nice rooftop pool, gym, and bar. It was about 85 degrees at 9 am so I didn't bother with the pool. The gym was typical hotel style.

Date 1: Ventured to our favorite spot after lunch and got a haircut in Plaza Cinco De Mayo. At about 3:30 or so, not as many girls as the evening yesterday but still plenty of choices. Found a Colombian girl with long red hair and nice curves. She was wearing a white bikini top, white booty shorts and she was bursting out of that outfit that looked like it was painted on. I didn't waste any time. After drinking half a bottle of water and chatting with her for a minute (literally about one to two minutes) we headed up to the boom boom room for the usual 15 min date. Great choice. She used so much lube it was running down her leg and when we were in doggy it was creating a wonderful sound when she was throwing those golden buns against me. I wasn't about to let that one slide. I'm glad I drafted this one.

Date 2: Still at La Bocatorena. While cooling off from date 1, there was a futbol game on that a ton of locals were watching. The place exploded when a goal was scored. I saw a chica I remember seeing yesterday and she had a unique look. I remember yesterday she was occupied a lot. Short, about 5'2" to 5'3" and really thick in all the right places, and of course she's Colombian. Her ass was literally hanging out of her little dress, it was like she was dragging it behind her the way she was walking around. Today I was like what the hell, let's give it a shot, Imean it's only $15. I was expecting a terrible fuck because she was one of the most selected girls from my perspective, but actually she was "throwing it back" and lightly moaning like she enjoyed it. It was enough to get me excited at-least. I put her on her back, put those kids in her belly (obv condom) and walked out a happy camper. Less than 5 minutes after I sat down at the bar and finished my water she was on her way upstairs again. I left at about 4:30 pm ish. This place is cool, but there's better bars to hang out have a beer, and watch sports jajaja.

Noticed a "Se Venta" sign on the La Mayor building. Safe to say it's not coming back.

Date 3: I mentioned I wanted to try [URL]panescorts.com[/URL] so here it is. I sampled Valery (link below). She was in my top 5 choices from the site but she was about choice 3 or 4 or so. I contacted a few girls asking for the same thing which was BBBJ and multi pop session in 1 HR. One girl said yes to all initially, then when I told her I was on my way she changed her offer. Another girl wasn't responding quick enough and another girl wasn't working tonight and offered for first thing in the morning (I declined). I've played the online independent girl game enough to know I had to line up several options and just go down the list swiftly pivoting to next girl in line, when one didn't work out. I met her at her place and her apartment had a doorman that said I had to pay $5 to enter after 10 pm. It was literally 10:02 when I looked at my phone. (still better than the hotels). I wasn't expecting that and the girl never mentioned that so I just paid up and went through. I got to her door and she answered the door in a towel. I just walked about 18 minutes to her place because I mis calculated the distance and took a turn down the wrong street. I was drenched in sweat when I arrived. She allowed me to take a quick shower before we got down to business. When we got started she sucked the skin off my little head and she had a good personality about everything. One thing I've noticed is Colombian women are just mediocre at giving head though, in comparison to Mexicans and Dominicans. Am I wrong here? Someone please tell me they have had stellar oral from a Colombian girl. She got on top and rode me like she was in the Houston rodeo. After a while, I put her on her back, went to pound town, and delivered some kids in her belly (in a condom). Overall good time. She was playing some music and showing me how to dance. At this point I was worn out and we just stayed up chatted, danced and she gave me a massage while playing with the boys. Good time, she was very friendly and fun.

Date 4: Sheesh, somehow I made my way back to La Bocatorena. T's 12:30 after midnight and I'm kind of tired but I wanted to see what the after midnight talent was like. I'm kinda drained at this point. Wasn't sure if I'd even get across the finish line but this place is addictive and I'm an addict, what can I say. Walked in and was surprised to find that there were very few ladies here tonight. The lights were also somewhat on making it a lot brighter in the venue. With only a handful of ladies, this time there were more men than women. I guess this is a daytime / after work evening joint. The girls probably figure they can work the bars, clubs and casinos at night, score one date and not have to work as hard for $100. Anyway, I came this far, its only $15 right. Jajaj. I found a younger Colombian girl. She was wearing jeans a sports bra and sneakers. I usually go for girls in dresses, skirts, or lingerie. This usually signifies they mean business as girls in jeans and leggings just don't do it for me, but I gave it a shot anyway. She was good looking and there were slim pickins. Only $15 jajaja. We made our way to the room and I was sure I wasn't going to get up but she managed to pull it out of me. She started by giving me a quick CBJ while tickling the boys lightly with her nails. After a minute, I was ready, but this time nothing special, put her on her back right away and went to P town. Only one position but I didn't really care. Cleaned up, and left. In the bar for 25-30 minutes max. Didn't even bother ordering a drink at the bar.

Back at the hotel finally and exhausted writing this. When I was walking into the elevator I heard the guy at the front desk stop a couple of guys with chicas with them attempting to bring them upstairs via elevator. Guess they will stop you, but I'm still not sure how much it cost. I'm probably only going to have one date tomorrow, if I even hit the scene. Going to do some tourist shit and check out some restaurants on my list. There's more to this city than $15 chicas, Cheers.

Day 3: Say it with me. Do not trust yellow cab drivers in Panama city! I heard this from Valery from [URL]panescorts.com[/URL] last night. She indicated that at night they would drive you somewhere dark to harm you and rob you. This morning after workout and breakfast, I ran into a fellow gringo that looked distraught while I was just out casually walking around. He arrived last night late by way of a layover and he decided not to use the taxis right outside of the airport, instead wandered past the thermal for a bit until he found a yellow cab that was cheaper to the downtown than $30 taxis outside of baggage claim (1st mistake). En route, he said he asked the taxi driver to stop at a gas station on the way to his hotel so he could use the restroom. He couldn't wait and he said he wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before going to his hotel room. They stopped at some gas station, the gringo went inside and of course left his personal belongings including bags, passports, computer etc in the taxi (2nd mistake). I think you know where this is going. He said he came out of the store with an empty bladder and food in hand and the taxi driver was gone! Gone with all his things! Basically, this young man was trying to get to western union to receive some funds sent to him from his employer to purchase another flight or something to that effect. The only problem is he needed a passport to receive the funds. I knew he was telling the truth because he didn't ask me for a single dollar as I thought he was going to. I only say this because I have run into people from all over through my travels that have some story about how they were robbed or lost money by way of a scam and need cash from me to get out of their situation. I've helped in the past to find out it was a scam. But no, this guy was truthful and just a gringo in distress. I could tell by his demeanor as we chatted for a bit. We actually had some things in common. I answered his questions to the best of my ability and pointed him in the direction of the 1 Western Union I knew of that was in our immediate area. I hope he gets out of here ok. I was blown away at his story. He still had his cell phone wallet and credit cards so I'm sure he'll be OK.

Date 1: Arrived at La Bocatorena for the evening shift. Since coming I've found this to be the time that has the most chicas I liked. I was only going to sample 2 girls so I wanted to do a pretty good recon before making my selection. My first draft pick was drop-dead gorgeous, natural, no visible BBL scars and thick in all the right places. She was wearing jean booty shorts a small white top with her belly showing and those wedges with the straps that go up to the girls calves. She looked like a cross between a cheerleader and a girl in a sorority (Colombia style jajaja). She was wearing glasses and a small backpack and it was enough to make me want to take her to immigration and risk it all. We chatted and I didn't want to waste any time so I asked her to go upstairs to the boom boom room. As I suspected she was 10/10. Best date so far this entire trip even though it was only 15 minutes!! I almost asked to extend but I didn't think I could get across the finish line a second time in that amount of time. A part of me knew that but contemplated just thrusting away and looking at her golden buns bouncing back and forth. As always I put her on her back and put the kids in her belly. We got dressed and headed down. I think I was her last date for the night. I didn't see her again after that. Trust me, I had one more in me after cooling off. I was absolutely going to repeat her, it was that good, and she was that perfect.

Date 2: Still here. Just cooled off a bit. I brought my water bottle from dinner with me so I had to keep drinking it to stay hydrated. I'd say the ratio is still closer to 3:1. Couldn't find my first draft pick, but I spotted a younger girl in her early 20's wearing a one piece blue bathing suit and pink Chuck Taylors. She didn't look like the typical extremely busty Colombian girls as she was a bit lean and about 5'2" tall or so. I was shocked when she turned around that bathing suit was like floss and you could really see her asset. The buns were nicely shaped, looked like there was some work done because of how pronounced it was but very nicely done and soft. Went through the pearly rusted gates and I handed her my last $15 for the night. Because she was just wearing a bathing suit she was undressed in like 5 seconds and I sent the kids off to school in her abdomen about 10 minutes after that. She was a great finale to a great run. Glad I picked these two tonight.

Most of the morning the weather was shit so I didn't do anything I planned besides checking out some great restaurants.

I won't be doing anymore trips to La Bocatorena so this will be my last report. I'll leave my rating and reasoning for things below for those who haven't been here yet.

Hotels: There are hotels for every budget. Prices are the same as the western world if not higher. I paid about $125/ night at AC Marriott. I'm waiting to see what hospitality taxes accompany the final bill at checkout.

Restaurants: More than you can even try to sample. For example in smaller places like Sosua, I feel like if you stay there for a few weeks / month you could eat at every restaurant in the area. Here, not so much this city is massive. The food was amazing at some restaurants and just mediocre at others. Street food is good but I tend to keep it simple and only tried empanadas.

Bars / Cafe's: Drinks are the same as western world. $8-$12 average for a margarita at most of the places I went. Latte's / expresso's were $3-$5. They can make anything you could want.

Chicas: OK, so outside of La Bocatorena average is about $100/ HR. I'm sure some of you Rico Suave fluent Spanish speaking guys have more game then me and can negotiate, but that's what I saw from most of the indy ads and girls I chatted with from Tinder.

Overall: It's worth the trip. Panama City is a massive city. It's the most cosmopolitan in Latin Central America by far. Very stable infrastructure, tourism, banking and several other economic factors make it an expensive place to live and play. I plan to come back as I seem to keep adding things to my list of adventures. While this place is fun and has a lot to do, keep in mind your dollar won't go as far as some of the other well-known countries, and things add up quick.

Have fun gents.

[QUOTE=LuvPanamaBabes;2694019]Was this guy who claims he was robbed, from Chicago, he's black and says he's in the military?[/QUOTE]Spot on, wearing a yellow goldish polo shirt and grey shorts. Was my assessment of him off?

What other Latin American cities have you been to and how does Panama City compare with them? What are the pros and cons of the cities and how would you rank them as destinations?

[QUOTE=Huacho;2680780]Anyone paying $200 at Don Julio's has to be more than one of fat, drunk, stupid, desperate, etc. $60 to $80 if you have any game or any Spanish whatsoever. I was just there in January. And was only drunk and not any of those other things. Just sayin'. (And yes I know that periods go inside apostrophes but apparently certain software does not).[/QUOTE]In defense of the prior poster, and as someone who is fit, early 40's, and speaks good Spanish, $100 is going to be about rock bottom for the good looking girls at Don Julio's. This isn't Colombia. I don't think you'll be pulling an 8 for $60 from Don Julios unless the Prepago Union has been broken. I haven't been in 2 years, but prior to that I typically paid $100 to $120 for 1. 5-2 hours with girls and it was nearly always all covered. All of the girls I would consider very attractive, even by Medellin standards and I usually felt the selection was superb. There may have been an $80 or two in there, I don't recall. I definitely didn't pay $150 or $200 though.

I was in Panama a few months ago. My report is posted. I luv La Bocatorena before and after covid. Habanos / Don Julios was fantastico before the pandemic, afterwards, it's okay. Some of the talents moved to the Oceanview casino. At DonJulio I enjoyed taking chicas for $70 or $80 usd to the hourly room San Rogue around the corner next to Azul. I made a deal with the Habanos chicas. They can finish me in an less than an hour if they are good cause I'm quick. And they can get back to Don Julios fast to find a more expensive mark. Of course, I ain't quick as they found out later and it's going to be a damn messy facial at the end. Too bad, the chicas gossip spreads fast. I could only get the $70 o $80 dollar quickie rate the first three days before the puta union holds a firm line at $100 usd.

At La Bocatorena I would session with the Colombianas or other chicas for double-time 30 min. I salute you 15 minute men. Always get their wassap to chat later or come by the hotel. I took Colombiana and Venezolana and a bunch of great performers outside to a nearby no-tell motel. It was a very short walking distance from Bocaterina. We did a relaxed two-hour session. Think I paid a $10 exit fee for the chica. Don't remember. I did pay for the room, she used her cedula to sign in.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2694059]What other Latin American cities have you been to and how does Panama City compare with them? What are the pros and cons of the cities and how would you rank them as destinations?[/QUOTE]This was my first trip to Panama so I don't think I have the breadth of experience to fully give you an objective evaluation, but I'll briefly summarize. I'd say I'm still relatively new to the game overall. I've had some fun in the states for several years, but only have taken my talents overseas starting in 2019. I like to report for the newer guys looking for the most up-to-date info as I was once that guy, and still am. So far I've only been to the following, but have been to them multiple times except for Medellin (only traveled once unrelated to hobbying).

Santiago DR: I've stayed here twice, and tried to do the urban city tourist thing. Just wasn't into it both times and just wished I was in Sosua. I feel like if I was going to live in DR I would move here because of the availability of modern amenities but just vacationing, I prefer Sosua. It's not that far away anyway, you could certainly do both in one trip. Girls are plentiful, but not concentrated in one area. I use Tinder to find chicas. I've heard you can pick them up around the university but I haven't been that lucky. Food and Hotels overall are cheaper in DR than in Panama City and you'll only really find Domicinan girls here in Santiago. The downside is if you're a westerner you'll stick out like a sore thumb. Tourism isn't really a thing in Santiago, and I've heard of higher petty crime here towards westerners.

Sosua DR: Been here 4 times and probably my favorite. It was my first international trip. I like it because of the variety and the ease of finding a GFE experience. Girls from every city in DR come to Sosua to make some cash. Cities you've never heard of will have chicas here hustling. I usually find one or two that I bring back to my place the entire trip. They often will stay overnight cook for you if you buy groceries, and just relax, which is always what I'm looking for. Plus I think the beauty of the beaches are unmatched along the northern side of the islands between Cabarete, Sosua, and Puerto Plata city. I just feel more relaxed here due to the beachy nature of the city as well. Food is cheaper than Panama and there's a ton of variety of great restaurants along the beach that you can sample while being bombarded with soliciting chicas. My favorite is this small beach restaurant called Fast Freddy's. Their food is amazing and fresh. Always a good environment, and it's far enough away from the main strip where you won't be bothered (as much). I remember during lockdown I was staying in an Airbnb across town in the city and ordered delivery. Freddy himself delivered the food (with a motoconcho driver) I was amazed because they are always so busy. Great vibes overall. The only problem is I've heard the cost of admission is going up with chicas in the city due to the number of westerners traveling here as of recent and bringing their western flashy culture along with them. May not be an affordable paradise much longer, who knows. I don't speculate. I also don't go during the larger tourist times such as the super bowl, Halloween etc. There's usually an influx of westerners and chicas but just not my cup of tea. I'd say it's more peaceful than Panama, food is cheaper, but hotels and Airbnb's are probably in the same ballpark range. I selected AC Marriot because it was one of the cheaper places I was willing to stay in Panama City in the $120/ night range. Depending on where you stay in sosua, hotel, Airbnb, or villa it could cost more. Chicas are cheaper in my opinion here as well because of my preference. I feel like I always get more bang for my buck.

Tijuana MEX: Been here about 4 times as well all for weekend trips (2-3 days). Great stay for a couple of days or for those that are close, one night and back over the border. Crossing the border is relatively simple and always quick. I've always only walked over. You will find Colombian and Venezuelan chicas working in the clubs and some of the indy sites and agencies. Chica prices are decent, I haven't seen or heard of more than $150/ HR here, and food at restaurants are cheaper than Panama. Depends on what hotel you stay in but I think overall hotels are cheaper in the 3-4 star range. I don't think GFE exists in Tijuana though. If that's not your thing then whatever, but every minute will be counted (from my experience). I've tried it all. HK, Adeletas, Indy sites, Agencies, and Massage parlors, and it's always a business transaction. I have frequented the same girl a couple of times from the agencies but even then, it was still mostly business as usual. Can't blame them though, they have lives outside of this world.

Medellin Colombia: Stayed for a different reason, didn't hit the scene due to the group I traveled with. But I did check out the site here for the cliff notes and know what to expect when I do go next time. Probably most naturally beautiful place I've been.

My next trip will be SE Asia, likely to Pattaya. From the reports and such I think I would like it there a lot because of the GFE factor. I prefer to find a girl that fits my "needs" and ware her out my entire trip, only rotating once or twice if necessary.

Cheers,

I'm not the guy who asked, but I got the same story from that guy several years ago while sitting at a bar. I kept waiting for the request for money to come, but it never did (and I didn't offer).

If he scams full-time, can't believe he's still there, since Panama was a ghost town for over a year during COVID.

Also, Uber is about half the price of the yellow cabs at the airport, but there can be a 15-minute wait for drivers and you need to be careful about scams. I've had them add on $10 for tolls when the actual toll is like $2.

[QUOTE=Gritzzyy;2691927]I'm new to posting on this site so bear with me.

Ended up flying in on Tuesday and wasted no time hitting the panama streets with all the information gathered from this thread as well as the Panama Maps. (I have little to no Spanish BTW).

Did the tourist stuff during the day and a local mentioned Chupitos. Went in around 10 PM decent club and the women where dressed up. I ended up just chatting with a couple of them using the translator and the price range was the same one fifty and up straight gringo prices. Didn't leave with anything but remembered from the forum La Mayor so headed there. Found out this place is no longer in business but literally next door is a place called La Bocatorena and this was the game changer for me. Thirty to midnight and it was filled with about twenty women all different shapes and sizes it was a candy shop! There are two sections and the women just go from one side to the other so I chilled at the bar on one side with my Corona and observed how things worked. I noticed a lot a activity of coupled men and women coming from and in the back room just to find out they have janky rooms you can take a women of your choice back to. Couple beers in and it was about that time, this Colombian woman kept eyeing me so it was a great tester I'd say 7. 5. She quoted me twenty dollars and in my head I'm like yeah right so I played along. Walked through the mysterious back door to an office where she handed my twenty to this guy and he gave her back fifteen with keys and soap. She led me to this janky room that kinda mimics a jail cell..[/QUOTE]Great Report mate, was in Panama during the covid lockdown but didn't knew about La-Bocatorena. This is the place to check out on the next trip to panama.

Cheers.

Peace.

Disfruta.

It's not that far away anyway, you could certainly do both in one trip. Girls are plentiful, but not concentrated in one area. I use Tinder to find chicas. I've heard you can pick them up around the university but I haven't been that lucky. Food and Hotels overall are cheaper in DR than in Panama City and you'll only really find Domicinan girls here in Santiago. The downside is if you're a westerner you'll stick out like a sore thumb. Tourism isn't really a thing in Santiago, and I've heard of higher petty crime here towards westerners.

Sosua DR: Been here 4 times and probably my favorite. It was my first international trip. I like it because of the variety and the ease of finding a GFE experience. Girls from every city in DR come to Sosua to make some cash. Cities you've never heard of will have chicas here hustling. I usually find one or two that I bring back to my place the entire trip. They often will stay overnight cook for you if you buy groceries, and just relax, which is always what I'm looking for. Plus I think the beauty of the beaches are unmatched along the northern side of the islands between Cabarete, Sosua, and Puerto Plata city. I just feel more relaxed here due to the beachy nature of the city as well. Food is cheaper than Panama and there's a ton of variety of great restaurants along the beach that you can sample while being bombarded with soliciting chicas. My favorite is this small beach restaurant called Fast Freddy's. Their food is amazing and fresh. Always a good environment, and it's far enough away from the main strip where you won't be bothered (as much). I remember during lockdown I was staying in an Airbnb across town in the city and ordered delivery. Freddy himself delivered the food (with a motoconcho driver) I was amazed because they are always so busy. Great vibes overall. The only problem is I've heard the cost of admission is going up with chicas in the city due to the number of westerners traveling here as of recent and bringing their western flashy culture along with them. May not be an affordable paradise much longer, who knows. I don't speculate. I also don't go during the larger tourist times such as the super bowl, Halloween etc. There's usually an influx of westerners and chicas but just not my cup of tea. I'd say it's more peaceful than Panama, food is cheaper, but hotels and Airbnb's are probably in the same ballpark range. I selected AC Marriot because it was one of the cheaper places I was willing to stay in Panama City in the $120/ night range. Depending on where you stay in sosua, hotel, Airbnb, or villa it could cost more. Chicas are cheaper in my opinion here as well because of my preference. I feel like I always get more bang for my buck.

Tijuana MEX: Been here about 4 times as well all for weekend trips (2-3 days). Great stay for a couple of days or for those that are close, one night and back over the border. Crossing the border is relatively simple and always quick. I've always only walked over. You will find Colombian and Venezuelan chicas working in the clubs and some of the indy sites and agencies. Chica prices are decent, I haven't seen or heard of more than $150/ HR here, and food at restaurants are cheaper than Panama. Depends on what hotel you stay in but I think overall hotels are cheaper in the 3-4 star range. I don't think GFE exists in Tijuana though. If that's not your thing then whatever, but every minute will be counted (from my experience). I've tried it all. HK, Adeletas, Indy sites, Agencies, and Massage parlors, and it's always a business transaction. I have frequented the same girl a couple of times from the agencies but even then, it was still mostly business as usual. Can't blame them though, they have lives outside of this world.

Medellin Colombia: Stayed for a different reason, didn't hit the scene due to the group I traveled with. But I did check out the site here for the cliff notes and know what to expect when I do go next time. Probably most naturally beautiful place I've been.

My next trip will be SE Asia, likely to Pattaya. From the reports and such I think I would like it there a lot because of the GFE factor. I prefer to find a girl that fits my "needs" and ware her out my entire trip, only rotating once or twice if necessary.

Cheers,

AP.[/QUOTE]Which Don Julios you are referring to?

I search on Google there are three.

Also l can only find ocean sun casino on Google.

Thanks for the help

[QUOTE=MahaSiddha;2697740]Which Don Julios you are referring to? Also l can only find ocean sun casino on Google.[/QUOTE]Don Julio's aka Habano's is the girl bar in front of the Marriott Hotel in the main tourist sector. It's a little confusing because it changes names, and there are a couple of adjacent joints with unclear boundaries and signs.

The Ocean Sun casino is connected to the JW Marriott Hotel in Punta Pacifica, located between other residential towers. It was formerly The Trump Hotel.

[QUOTE=AllanParke;2697362]That's a first through my travels, unbelievable. I wonder what is his angle, what is he trying to gain? As I mentioned and the other guy, he didn't even ask or seem like he was going to ask for any $$.[/QUOTE]The same black guy came up to me at this rooftop bar with the same fucking story. My spidey senses were tingling so I figured he was lying because the story seemed way too crazy. I just bought him a coke and told him good luck.

I originally posted this in the Hotels thread but it never got "promoted".

Heading down to Panama City for a few nights after visiting San Jose Costa Rica in late August. This will be my second trip to Panama City but the first time was just after they opened up post-Covid so my knowledge is limited.

That trip I stayed at the Hotel El Panama and had a great stay. Great pool, good breakfast and very nice room. A very short walk to Don Julios. It was completely guest friendly then but that might have been do to the fact there were very few guests at that time and little staffing at the front desk late at night. I have tried to contact them via email to find out their current policy on unregistered guests but have not gotten a response yet.

I did most of my "partying" at Don Julios (old Habanos) and at the little bar / restaurant around the corner. I would like to stay in the same area.

I have searched here and can't find any definitive answers on guest friendly hotels. Some reports say a hotel is guest friendly others say pay $80. I would be amenable paying a small fee for a guest if necessary (maybe $20 or $30). Any current information would be greatly appreciated.

Any recommendations? Thanks.
