View Full Version : Santiago. Be happy that you at least got good service and had fun at a high price. I paid US prices and got lousy service in Santiago from an agency and one independent who is no longer active , and all subsequent reviews on the big American review board for Santiago have been terrible. This is a lousy market for non-Spanish speakers regardless of a budget. I have since gone to several other countries and all of them make Chile look even weaker.
It is not helped by the fact that Club Amsterdam comes and goes, and by the time the other reviewed massage parlors replied to my emails, I was out of the country. In other South America markets, a lack of Spanish is not a barrier. Buenos Aires has two well known contacts that will translate and help English speakers with bookings with only a small fee to the translators. Medellin has a well known hotel with English-speaking owners and providers on site, and Rio has the termas that anyone can go to with published prices for all customers.
Chile should be at the bottom of the list for English-only mongers, in my opinion. But thanks for the report, and realize it could have been worse. Ok, I am stupid and have too much money. It was Sunday and a holiday, so it was hard to find any action anywhere, so I went to Platinum Club.
It was even more expensive than Palomino and also quite dead. There was one other guy there and afterwards a few more showed up. Pickings were slim, there was a very pretty Russian girl, but her Russian-Spanish and my bad Spanish didn't allow for any communication. I did end up spending time and a lot fo money with the main dancer for the night, Wendy, a Venezualen girl, who was similar to Rihanna, but even prettier. Yes, it was very, very expensive, but it was one of my last nights free.
If someone insists, I will say the prices, but really, I am too embarrassed! So I vow I will pay no more ripoff prices in Chile. I am still a little embarrassed for spending US prices, but yes, I decided I didn't have much time and went for the relatively sure thing. I am now more glad I did after your comments, because they were definitely fun times!
