Thank you.

Did the new Fragata actually open prior to the recent dramas and lockdowns? There has been so much happening (or too little depending on your point of view) to follow developments.

I am canceling for personal reasons. My point is that Fragata has historically been the poor relation of the 2 and with new premises and a new identity it may give Lagoa a run for its money. Yours is the most positive review so far of the new Lagoa

I have postponed my Brazil trip until October so it should be operational by then. Judging from the rather mixed reviews Lagoa has received I am intrigued if a new Fragata will give Lagoa real competition.

What about the new Fragata? Mind you are obviously very busy with what you met at Lagoa.

Is it now fully operational? Is there anyone who can provide feedback?

I am resurrecting this old thread to discover if there is any up to date information on Trilingual or Drey. I was a frequent contributor to the old Gay Travel Brazil website and still have a great affection for the site and these 2 gents in particular. It was an (almost) indispensable source of information on Gay Brazil. I never had the opportunity to meet them, a source of regret.

I know we are still in the realm of speculation, but wouldn’t any decision on closure be a state decision? In other words a decision by a governmental authority in São Paulo may differ from Rio. People more familiar with Brazil’s constitutional arrangements may like to comment.

Thank you.

Anyone?

Unless I’m mistaken this is the opening weekend. Can’t wait to hear feedback.

On the Men4Men forum there is a post dated today 7 January where a contributor says in part ''The scene in Rio was very stale this year. The new Espaso Lagoa in SP was worth a trip. Very new, very clean, lots of guys.'' I assume he meant working guys. What to believe?

Any more comments on the new Lagoa after its “settling down “ period?

I assume the answer to my own question is 25 January.

Thank you great news! Does it have an anticipated opening date?

Hope springs eternal.

Judging by the reviews of the new Lagoa this question is more urgent than ever. What is the latest on Fragata? Has anyone been there lately?

Any more info on the closure of the Fragata?

Same timing as me! In Brazil.

Any comments on the number and standard of the boys? Old faces (nothing wrong with that!) and/or newbies?

I echo these sentiments. The New York Times travel writer once described São Paulo as the ugliest and most dangerous city your ever likely to love. Having been there 9 times I think I know what he means.

Anyone visited yet?

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Any more news on the grand opening?

I’ll beat you to it. I’m there on 29 January.
