Rio de Janeiro Reports

I was there two saturdays ago. I have visited this place on and off for 11 yrs now. There are some decent looking women in there. However, they are not on par with the prices. I am not refering to service, more about appearances. I beleive that some of the hotest babes are in Europe, and they have no intrest in being in Rio during Brazil's winter. I paid for entrance, had a couple of drinks while catching up with an old flame, and then headed out. I didn't partake in any cabina action.

As for Solarium, over priced as well. I always had the luxury of taking a gal back the cabina or not. However, prices are so out of hand, better off getting their phone number, and setting something up outside.

Going to be interesting to see if one day the economy hits the crapper, and see if and how they adjust their prices. At soem point they have to price themselves out of the game. Time will tell.

[QUOTE=ExecTalent;1611996]At 1000 for 24 hours there is no doubt that she likes being with you a lot. In fact, if you had a buddy who would pay her that much she probably would like being with him a lot too![/QUOTE]And if that buddy's buddy had a buddy she'd bang them all.

If she likes you likes you, you won't have to pay-just for food.

Trust me. Every trip to Rio I have take-aways from MC, MV and everything in between.

Centaurus I only went nuts once for my birthday with an insane dupla-best of my life-but a one-off. You can find stunners in all the low-end places for cheap.

Sometimes if I'm staying in P5,I get lazy on the way home and drop into MC.

I went to a Funke in Santa Marta favela and to a Dancehall one in Vidigal-girls were insane.

Eventually they will have to adjust their prices.

It is correct that many GDPs go to Madrid and other places in Spain mainly to earn 3 times as much and come back every 3 months (when the tourist visa runs out! And see family / BF / kids when its cold in Brazil-or period. They then buy an apartment back home and some go into taking an education.

[QUOTE=EricCartman;1612195]Not sure if it's really 36 years, but the coupon is valid. I went there last night with a friend who is visiting and wanted to see the sights. We started off at MC but the talent level was *very* low. Probably a combination of Saturday (always slow) and what had been a sunny day (sun = girls at beach = they drink and relax and don't go work at night). Lots of big asses and thights, not my type.

Solarium's entrada is now BRL $100 but it fell to BRL $50 with the coupon. All in price for 1 hr including entrada was BRL $550 I believe. Absurd. Like centaurus prices. Plus you have the added cost of the $20+ taxi each way. They've done a remodel downstairs, I think like a year ago according to a guy I chatted with. The bathroom is actually WAY nicer now with tiles and new showers, though the showers don't have doors so everyone can see you cleaning off your moneymaker LOL. There also is a couch rest area in a small room downstairs. I think they remodeled some of the cabines as well. Mine (the 1 hr rooms) had a shower / toilet combo in the back that looked new. Although it only had scalding hot water from the shower or freezing cold from the "bum gun" in the toilet. LOL. Brazil.

Talent at Solarium was of slightly higher quality, but the girls were all bored. It's always been more of a Brazilian local place for rich guys who live out that way (Leblon, Jardim Botanico) and as a girl noted, Saturday night is family night so the guys stay home and the girls get bored with no customers. That said, almost all the girls were white / mix Brazilians, no mulattas (nearly), and 1 black girl. So if that's your thing. For me, the pricing is absurd and the quality is just not what it was. Better to hunt in the Centro T's and privees. The Sao Paulo clinicas have way better talent at cheaper prices too.

*shrug*.[/QUOTE]Correct-I went to Solarium once and loved the dj, the food and the place just not the girls or the prices! LOL.

Centaurus is always amusing but not worth the price. Many Bairros have local termas with top ghetto talent for cheap. Explore fellow degenerates-don't fall into tourist trap repeatedly.

*shrug*.[/QUOTE]Sorry to say but the moment I read that Solarium is nearly are $550/ hr, I stop reading your post. It's absurd. I can get one hr programa including anal from my 19 yrs old super hot chik from Poland in London for US $120/ hr so screw Solarium.

Brazil.[/QUOTE]I remember these termas charge you more money for the 40 mins room vs the 60 mins 'suite'. Eric, can you breakdown your 550 R bill for us? If you did not use the coupon are you saying a 60 min session would be 600 R? Entrance + room rental + session with girl? The entrance fee does NOT go towards consumption like places in Sao Paulo, correct? One has to pay from drink #1.

Awesome burgers.

i had 1 (one) agua com gas in the boate. i'd guess it maybe cost brl $7 or something so if you deduct that from the total cost you have the room + the girl being just under brl $500. crazy right? i used to laugh when the cafe foto girls asked for this price. now rio is really becoming too expensive to enjoy termas, at least in zona sul.

none of the price or entrada went to consumption -- sometimes they run coupons that do that, but not this time. the room was the standard cabine but had a shower/toilet combo room in the back. afaik the standard cabines don't have that. i guess it comes with the 1hr purchase. it wasn't their full-on suite.

and to all you people saying "avoid the tourist traps" -- well duh! i mentioned my friend was in town, it was a saturday night, we'd already struck out at mc, and he wanted to go to a nice terma. outside of getting ass-raped at centaurus, solarium was the only option. it's not like i was going to haul him out to mosaico or head to barra to paris cafe or something ...

i hadn't set foot in solarium for over 1 year before this. i figured i'd take it on the chin as a learning experience and report back here for everyone to know current pricing etc.

-Cartman.[/QUOTE]Are Solarium and Monte Carlo still affiliated? Does that mean MC has similar pricing?

So the R340-R380 all-in pricing is only for the Termas in Centro like 4 x4, 65 and Cancun? And maybe a tiny bit less at 502?

From different pricing stuctures to garotas policies. I remember my favorite girl had to switch because in Solarium, girls are not allowed to drink alcohol or beer while monte carlo allows them. Solarium wants their girls sober and sexy rather than trash and tipsy. Again, policies may change now. Who knows.

Prices for the centro termas are going up also. As of now, entrance to 4 X4 is are $50. One hour suite is are $300.40 minute session is are $280. Entrance is still waived if you take a girl before 6 pm. So for a one hour session, the total comes to are $300-350 + consumption. And there is incessant requests for tips, from the ladies booking the rooms, cleaning staff, front desk, doorman.

Interestingly, the new hours start at 11 am. There are many signs in the terma.

[QUOTE=JavaMan;1611889]Solarium Celebrating 36 years?! Anyone know if that is true? Got an email coupon today for $R50 off cover. Coupon expires Sept 3. Print and present at the front desk. Enjoy.[/QUOTE]Well I have proof that it is at least 33 years old, yes I would think it is 36 years old.

Attached is picture of a pamphlet they handed out at the airport when you landed in the 80's. It contained a lot of useful stuff like hotels, restaurants, tours, shops, maps and termas advertisements as well as escorts. I saved a couple of them through the years.

Rio DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Brazil's economy, once an emerging-market darling, fell into recession, according to government data released Friday, as millions of new middle class citizens tightened their belts and further dampened a credit-driven spending spree.

The results are a blow to President Dilma Rousseff, who faces an increasingly tough reelection in October. A new poll released late Friday showed her biggest rival pulling into a dead heat with her in a first-round vote. And is 10 percentage points ahead of the Rousseff in an expected runoff ballot.

The government's statistics bureau reported that gross domestic product dropped 0.6 percent in the second quarter, in large part because of soft consumer spending. First-quarter results also were revised downward from 0.2 percent growth to a 0.2 percent drop, showing a two-quarter slide that most economists use to define a recession.

Good to see that RioBob is alive and kicking. I remember those pamphlets and also the brochures with Rio guides. They had lots of ads from the termas.
It was a time when Rio de Janeiro wasn't ashamed of being a destination for sex tourism. Help was the largest wh*re-house in the world and Meia Pataca, La Maison, Mabs etc had lots of GPs waiting for gringos.
Today they have even censored the postcards with bikini girls.
