Axiom2020

Was the hotel of choice for 20 years for members of this and other boards, many have moved on to Airbnb's or just moved on.

I stay here still whenever I go back, I like the easy guest policy, free breakfast, location and daily maid service.....Mostly the same workers from all those 20 years 😲

All you Spanish speaking people...

Did you enjoy the visit to Salvador? For me the city is fascinating, but I got so many warnings from locals on the streets and in shops, I never felt comfortable. Had a good time in one of the saunas, beautiful men and mostly pleasant to be with. One tried to bully me into giving him more money and he made me nervous. I just kept telling myself he won't assault me in the sauna if it's a regular source of income for him. He was incredibly beautiful physically, but actually seemed sinister. From Salvador I went to Boipeba south of the city. It was the offseason and almost all the tourist places were closed. The only close to regular vehicle was a jeep owned by the police. Some ATVs and a farm tractor that towed a wagon... full of drunk young city fellows one afternoon catcalling the young women on the street, people were laughing at them so I don't think they were offensive. A few hours later it came back, they were all more or less passed out in the wagon. It was kind of surreal. These golden young men in shorts and sandals sort of piled on top of each other. This was just before the start of the 2014 World Cup and pre-tournament exhibition games had started. As I walked by one of the small homes, the front door, just a few feet from the street was open and I saw the whole family, mom, dad and maybe three kids squished into a tiny couch, watching a game. I was raised in the Canadian version of that working class family and everybody was poor in those days and we did everything together as a family, including watching Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday evenings, us kids all squished into the couch. Mom always made hamburgers and it was the only time we were allowed to eat in the living room. It's funny as I move into old age how a lot of old memories are coming back.

My experience has been that it's the garoto who takes my wrist identification bracelet to the cashier or desk attendant (at 117, as an example) to get the room assignment.  I've always been present to nod my head to the desk attendant for the charge to be added to my account and paid at the end of the visit.  Rooms can be in short supply, so I don't imagine a situation where I'd be given a key and then take whatever amount of time it takes to find someone I'm attracted to.

Bused to São Paulo on Friday. While bus is comfortable, had hours of traffic jams. 9am out of Rio, didn’t get to São Paulo until 6pm.
A quick shower, Uber to Lagoa. A rather slow night. A few fresh faces, but more like Rio Meio Mundo level. munch less energy compared to last May. Left in an hour or so without hit. Maybe it’s because tomorrow they have bingo?
202 also has a big event on Saturday. I don’t follow 202 that much, but I remember last May when I was in Rio, there was a dead Friday and it was also because a party is planned the following day. Maybe 202 is giving up on Fridays and shooting for making Saturday the 2nd best day of the week? 
 
Some thunder and rain 4-6pm on Saturday, bad timing. Thankfully it lightened up by 6, just drops here and there with cloudy sky. A comfortable 26c or so. Made to Lagoa around 6:15. A couple customers are already leaving! A couple more new faces, but this is rather disappointing. Perhaps it has something to do with they raise the boys’ fee to 25? Or is it the weather? 
 
A good surprise is T is in the house, one of my old favorite from Fragata! Had many good times with him between 2017-2019. The boy has slim and completely smooth sun tanned bronze body, light blue eyes and hasn’t aged at all at 28, same boyish look as when I first met him. We hug and kiss, laugh about how long it has been since we last met! Not seeing any new face that stands out, I am happy with refreshing my memories with T.
The boy loves deep throat and chocking himself, and it felt amazing. I love it when a boy has a boner pointing up while he is sucking🤩, his cock jumps when he chokes. And wonderful Brazilian rim job. His hole is hairless as well, tiny smooth round opening. I love it when his eyes meet mine in the mirror during fucking, he flashes a joyful smile 😊 later he switches from doggie to legs up, after I finish, I took another look at his hole, amazing it’s turning back to the tiny round opening! B, my favorite new 202 twink from 2021, would have a somewhat gaping hole afterwards. I suppose T is a much more naturally talented bottom 🤓
Surveying the room a few more rounds before exiting. No one stands out. A little sad, Lagoa was the place that used to have some real stunners! IE: Igor Miller. And cute college boys now and then. This feels quite a slump. Unlike in 117 or 202, I didn’t have to wait for a room here. While 202 seems to have fresh supplies of new boys, is São Paulo turning more online? Hope this is not an omen of an end. I so miss Fragata. 

Waitttttttt! The young sexy, muscular guy at the front counter of 202 is junior's son? He's very handsome. Hes available for hire? That's good to know. Thanks for the info. My husband is in love with him. Would definitely pay him and watch he and my husband make love to each other. Thanks again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is smart, especially with crime these days. I am currently in Brasil for Carnaval and I don’t even bother bringing my phone with me if I am going to walk in the street to attend a bloco street party.  I do have a spare small android phone with me (Samsung S10e, 2019 release that had decent specs and still a decent camera) if my (fully insured) Iphone gets lots or stolen, but this is not just for Brazil but all my travels, as it is smart to have a spare as you don’t know what will happen and buying a phone overseas can gets expensive. Android does have less status than an Iphone in Brasil, so ultimately probably less likely to get stolen, but I think that won’t matter as thieves are desperate.
Yes I was sad when Uber Eats left, but have found iFood to be a worthy alternative.  I’ve been able to get my Chase Visa and Barclay US Mastercard credit cards to work with iFood, but not my Citicard or others. Very handy when it is 2 AM and your boy for the night suddenly gets the munchies post-coitus, and most restaurants are closed.
There are a lot of currency exchanges, even on immediately after passing immigration, and then after you exit customs in Terminal 3 in Guarulhos. I try not to use them tho. High fees. I’ve used my fee-free ATM and the exchange rate is almost at par with market.  I tend to use the “24 Horas” ATMs which are abundant in airports, metro stations in Rio and SP, and some upscale supermarkets.
I’ve used Viator in Brazil and it was 100% safe and you get access to English speaking tour guides. Never used AirBNB Experiences anywhere but I am sure they tap into the same tourist companies.  Protip: If you develop a good rapport with a boy in Brasil, why not let them be your guide? YMMV.
From what I know you can ask the drug stores in the airports if they have SIM cards, but obviously the support and help with installs will be limited. Best bet is to do this at the  big malls and go one of the big cellphone operators. I personally use a US SIM with unlimited international data coverage.  There are esim options that you can download before you go to Brazil, but I have no experience with them.
Yes this is the same in Brazil.  I’m never in a towel and I always have some loose bills in the pocket of my shorts and can also pay guys that way.
I am sure you will have a blast!  Please let u know how you do and share your experiences here.  I am sure everyone will appreciate a newbie’s perspective.

Do not regret anything, just learn. It is amazing that you can spend all that money. Generosity delivers amazing times in Brazil. If I could, I would go around throwing iPhones to all my darlings.

Brasil and Thailand are great, one for some things and the other for different things...guaranteed. Massage in Brasil isn't one of their things, Thailand holds the crown on that.
 
Sure you felt like a little High School girl all giddy and happy......we've all been there. It's worse when alcohol is involved and you think you've met "THE ONE!"

 
 
Luckily, because of my innate frugalness and poverty, this will never happen with me 😆
 
Idiot....he didn't realize how lucky he had it ????
 
You're not the first and won't be the last one.....However, one of the main lessons you should have gotten, if you read this message board at all.....business is business, don't think with the little head. There's a lot of lovely guys that you will meet in your travels, give it time to see if the love is both ways, not just one sided.



And I'll be the 1st one to say we told you so....if you read the posts 😉

Sunday : I feel like I need to get a bit culture since I arrived in Rio , I did nothing , but beach , restaurant and sauna - I did a walking tour with free walking tour group - I was nice , informative and great way to check out Centro! 
Beach for the rest of the day , then club 117 again , it was a slow night for 117- I felt like there might be more boy than customer 
I did the first session with my first one in sauna again and it was heaven - he is my top three guy here in Rio
then I found him - my kind of guys. I don’t know how to explain - I see handsome guy , I see hot guy, I see gorgeous guy - somehow he is really my kind of guy - he took my breath away when I saw him - it sounds so sad typing it out !! I don’t want my first time with him to be in the sauna !! I don’t need to discuss with him about money , I told him I want him for the rest of the trip - p pay him whatever he wants - I had the best sex all night long - at this point , my sanity is gone - I’m completely in love with him !!!! 

Great report kn5.
please keep your updates cumming - as I like the way that you are presenting your trip report to all of us.
enjoy!!
 

I’m not a type of person who post reviews , more reading them ! English is not my first language so please excuse my grammar 
I found so much information about Rio based on the information of this forum - I’m quite shy and introvert so to read about going to sauna is quite intimidating for some reason! But I’m seeing another member of this forum today who give me courage to check out the sauna - thank you to Archer 
 
Wednesday is my first day - staying at fairmont - decent location , nice staff , have no problem to bring guests upstairs - I did a tantric massage at Spa H - it was a good massage, nice clean place , extra fee for happy ending of course - want to go to Point 202 , since it is according to the calendar of this forum is the best nice of the week, and I plan to meet archer since he was also be there - but it seems so much that day and I had a long flight , my first meal in Brazil was not agreeable with me - end up meeting someone on Grindr  it was hot - but for some reason - the photo and the in person was just not quite the same - I try to find a list of hotel to bring guests back to the room a few times but could not find the list but fairmont hotel , you can bring guy up -
Thursday : tantric massage at solaryun spa - very sensual , good pressure , nice clean place,  was ask if they offer any extra service, he told me no- there was also a review on google that they offered only sensual not sexual massage - but the masseur ended up riding me and cum in 5m - honestly - it was the hottest thing I did in 2023!! Evening time - did a three some with Grindr previous night and his friend - it was nice - 
friday : the date I finally meet Archer - who I have to stay look stunning in person - we had a nice chat at coffee shop in ipanema - he has been here a few times , give me some tips somehow it feel different to listen to some tip in person vs reading on the internet - which the only reason gave me the courage to go to Club 117 - it was a raining / some kind of holiday in Rio where they block off the street facing the beach - I finally make it to club 117 at 5pm - Archer told me and I read on forum as well - don’t go with the first guy approach you - well I did it anyway - he was so hot - the sex as good - I gave him a big tip - I work in service industry all my life - the tipping is in my dna - in Brazil - I don’t believe tip is expected but I feel guilty if I don’t - Even in Fairmont - almost all don’t expect tip unlike Thailand - after finish with his one - sitting at the smoking area - I approached by the biggest penis I’ve been seen in person in my life - not the face that I go for - but he was quite persistent and such a good kisser  that I ended up going with him anyway - well - the fuck was the most intense one - after that , I feel like I must write a review about my trip 
There is at least 30-40 guys in club 117 tonight - and I’m in my recovery mode for my third time - I feel like it must be a land for big Dick top with great kissing skill - I’m in heaven 
3 more nights to go till going to cold depressed New York ! 
Sorry posted in wrong forum - but don’t know how to move it 

I've found that the guys with big dicks, know how to use them. Tell them to go slow....I'm amazed at how much less the big dicks hurt than the small ones, or maybe I'm just a whore.

But seriously...they know how to use it, Some go rough because they think we like it rough or they are too young to know better.
 
don't go with the 1st guy you see, or because someone speaks English

The escort may go at it roughly, with a level of speed that could be uncomfortable for a virgin hole unaccustomed to things entering versus leaving. A typical garoto de programa will thrust vigorously to aid in maintaining his erection. But all it takes is a second or two of drilling to deflower you, if that’s the goal. 

What you like most about Brazil? For me,  heading back to hotel a little tipsy from a 202 drink and a good time with a 202 boy. 
 
First night in 202, the long flight is already worthwhile. A rainy Monday until 6pm. Was a little doubtful, worried it might be an empty house. Weather app forecasts heavy rain until 10pm, it’s just cloudy with a few drizzle after 6pm! Way off, weather.com! The few drops are rather pleasant for the 30+ hot day. 
 
Junior’s son and a lady are managing the reception. I ask him how many boys are in house as I enter, he said muito. He didn’t exaggerate. Quite a few new faces since my last trip 2022 May. This cute boy with an army crew cut looks somewhat familiar, it’s until later of the night when I overhearing him talking in English with a client and looking closer to his tattoo that I realized it’s Solomon, the boy I had a 2peat in Lagoa on my last trip. 
 
A slim black boy with a pretty face stood out for me as I walk up to the shower and steam room. While I prefer the 30+ rio summer to -15 Canadian winter, you do need a shower after getting to 202 on metro. After surveying the room, I made him my top choice. 
 
The client he was chatting with fell through, so as I walk by him the 2nd time to the steam room, he followed me in soon after. The kiss is sweet and a little rough. The baby smooth Latino/black skin is my favorite, and it often comes with a huge cock too, as for this boy. We make a deal in 5 minutes in the sauna amid kisses. Long waiting list for room, so I bought drinks and we had more kisses while waiting. In the room, Brazilian boys are more often than not eating ass with a passion. When we get to the fucking, his baby smooth hole felt amazing. He likes getting fucked legs up, with a slim build like my all time favorite N, the hole is fully exposed in that position. A great bottom boy. 
 
Down side is he is uncomfortable taking a photo together. Well, on closer look, he is a little too polished pretty, unlike N, naturally handsome, married young with a son at the tender age of 19, cute with a glowing smile but not  the slightest gay. Except that N often had a boner pointing to the sky when he started our encounter by sucking my cock. The wonder of some Brazilian straight boys! Fucking girls in real life, taking dick on the side for money…
Break down of the night: 75 entry charge, 37 for two drinks, 40 for the room. Less than 30us$ for the house, long live 202! 
While 1st night is a happy night. Things outside sauna are quite different. The COVID tourist slump is over, hotel price more than doubled, often tripled in Copacabana compared to last May. long line ups for foreigners at customs too compared to no lines at all last May. Airport Lounges are open now. There is even a lounge for customers after arrival outside security in the parking garage. Handy to kill a couple hours as my flight arrived before 10, it would be too early to uber to my hotel right away as check in starts at 2pm.
Another ugly shock is my debit card from an American bank used to give me very close to posted xe.com exchange rate for ATM no fee withdrawal at Bradesco, now the exchange rate is a full 10 percent off posted rate 😞 (5.2 posted, ATM withdrawal at 4.7). Credit card charge still happens very close to posted rate at 5.16. Tip, always choose getting charged in Real, not your local currency if asked.
Time for bed. 117 tomorrow, muscle gods are not my type, so will be going with low expectations. 

I second msclelvr regarding chile.

I agree with @Latbear4blk I had lots of fun in Buenos Aires on regular month-long visits, but it was difficult to get to know people.
 
Chronic lateness can be rather irritating when you have dates. Crime is also a problem and I always preferred hotels for their good security. 
 
I paid 2 visits to Chile but to me, it seemed a much more conservative society. 

The short answer must be “It depends on the person you find attractive”.
 
A rapid solution would be to ask the guy you like how much he needs to earn that evening, and offer to pay him that for his exclusive attention.
 
A new guy may be very happy to hang out with you all evening with you paying for all drinks etc as well as the fee you agreed with him beforehand.
 
An experienced guy, who has regular clients, may not want to spend much of the evening with you. He may not want to risk disappointing his regulars by being exclusively with you. 
 
Maybe you should ask this question of a guy you really like and want to spend extended time with. Just decide what you’re willing to pay and how long you’d like to be there, so you can ask something like ‘How much will it cost if we have 2 programs and spend 2 hours extra just talking, drinking etc?’ 

Yes, yes, yes, and I've missed tremendously.  Hope to feel many of these in 2024 or 25 if not before.

@floridarob
@Floridarob, we are completely different then. I'm an insatiable slut with a hungry hole. I prefer the crowded sauna with endless garatos with their big hard dicks swinging. the rate in the sauna was $120R which was about $27US dollars, I believe.  whenever we hired someone to come to the apartments,  we paid them $60US for one person and double for us both. the airbnb cost are through the room, but for what you get in return with all those beautiful brazalian men, I'm happily absorb the high cost of the airbnb for the week. in the saunas, those guys know that there is stiff (pun intended) competition in town and will lower their prices to make extra side money. most of the men are using some sort of enhancement pill to keep their dicks rock hard and almost all of them are going to give you the fukc of your life because they want the repeat business. 

If I told you what happened you wouldn't belive me so I thought it would be best If I shower you. The top is DICK THAT WONT QUIT. after we recorded him fukcing a few of the bottoms on video I had to call him over so I could feel his big dick in me. It was YUMMY. this isn't me in the video. I wish my body looked like that bottoms body. They actually did 2 videos together. The bottom texted me after the first video and told me he wanted to do a 2nd video with this top. I guess his hotel job came 2nd fiddle to this big dick. Sorry about the space in between the verbiage and video clip.

All three guys I hired turned out to be Brazilian, which only confirms to me that I need to go to Brazil. 

Thanks to the contributors here for providing info on SD. Here now so paying it forward. 
City is pumping with sexual energy. Eye contact with policemen and Apps pinging 24/7
Contacted Manny and he picked me up from airport. He’s not gay. Married with kids but did say ‘money talks, bullshit walks’. He has a lot of guys on his books. Met one earlier. Really fit black guy who had no trouble getting rock hard and was well worth the 5000 DOP plus 1500  finders fee for Manny. Know I paid over because had a second guy for 2500 DOP from Grindr. And it goes on. Offers coming in all the time
Marlowes: we’re not in Kansas anymore. Manny black SF dude drew me aside and asked if I knew it was a hustler bar. Which I did. Hustlers were annoying. One wanted me to buy him anew phone for $200. Funny thing is the non hustlers were all sound and made good connections there. Including a Dominican guy who was naked except for socks. Kind of wacky and unexpected but he was well built and a lovely well formed ass. 
the apps:  unfriggingbeleivable. Lots of great guys not just looking for money but heavily towards the prepago side of life. One guy asked for $250
 
Cine Lido  hot and atmosphere thick with sexual energy  stopped into a colmado for a Cuba libre en route. The action was at the sides half way down where the walls kink in. Entry 150 DOP
 

...love hearing that sweet and very mellow response.  ...oh so friggin' sexy.
