Send me a private message. Dear all PBH folks,
I will only respond to private messages sent to my PBH account or to my rapi2000 at yahoo.com e-mail.
Sorry, this is not a debate topic. I am just trying to rent my apartment. If you are interested and you like the pictures, then e-mail me ASAP. FYI the place is rented almost all May.
Thanks.

Miguel, I'll have you know that the Conquistador ... is one of the finest buildings in Cartagena. Why, the apartments almost rent themselves! I understand that the owners are VERY selective.

What do you have against the Conquistador?

Other than the fact that you can rent some rooms by the hour? Not much....i stayed there with a friend that lives there, and the few nights i was there, i wish i hadnt....seems to be the preferred living place for coop LDV "personal engineers" and clients....not really a place i want my family to visit me at.....after all, i do have to maintain some kind of image, even if i only have friends in low places.....jejejejej...

Just my opinion...

I agree, GringoD, very nice photos. Especially numbers 29, 30 and 31 in the apartment album!

Now where have I seen those photos before? Hmmm...

Youn need to know this: Hello PBH forum!

I can say that I know Cartagena more than many people here and I go there two or three times a year because I LOVE IT and because I have family and business there. I have bought my ticket for the summer already!

El Conquistador is the highest building in Cartagena (so far) it was one of the first ones built in El Laguito area. It has 400 apartments and 24 floors, there are three towers connected with 5 huge elevators that fit 15 people each. It is true that SOME apartments are not very well taken care of, but at the same time others are a state-of-the-art, better than many expensive hotels in town. There are studios, one br, two br, three br and luxury pent houses ALL in the same building. I don't agree with some of the people here that just because they spent a night or two there 'in who knows which crappy place' have the authority to trash the WHOLE building all at once. It is true that long ago the administration wasn't the best, but right now it has improved completely. You need to check in and out at the front desk for more organization. It is true that in the past many foreigners used to bring over 'cheap one-night-fun' and trashy people, that has changed also. You CAN bring a friend over but you have to check them in and show some type of ID.
My apartment was remodeled and made into a very nice place for vacation. ALL my foreign friends and acquaintances have enjoyed it a whole lot. Especially the view and the privacy, that cannot be beaten by any other other building in the area. Just go to the administration office and find out how many foreigners and locals are buying apartments there and in the area, you will be surprised. Thanks to the PBH ad I just rented it for three weeks in May and two in July. :-)
If you don't like 'El Conquistador' just cross the street and get a room at the Cartagena Hilton for US$200 a night.

The photos are from different sources: My family album, INTERNET, El Universal, El Tiempo, GringoInColombia, friends and Colombians abroad. BTW I have tons of digital pictures that I could share with whoever wants them, just e-mail me. I take them all over the country each time I go. Most of those are to show my college students about the beautiful things that you can see in Colombia. I have: El Amazonas, Eje Cafetero, Los Llanos, La Costa Atlántica, Parque Los Nevados, Nevado del Ruiz, Bogotá, Parque Tayrona, Desierto de la Guajira and a complete set of a dinner that I went to with Gabriel García Márquez last March etc... I also have lots of PPT's that I use in classes.
¡Hasta la próxima!
Rafael.

Wow, i guess i must not be "in the know" with 18 trips to CTG over 3 1/2 years, but i do "know a hooker" when i see one....and the path from LDV to Conquistador is probably the most travelled path in Colombia....=)....Hookers with ID are still hookers, by the way...But maybe things have changed since November of 2005....it is possible, ya know...but then i am not the one trying to sell or rent something.....Oh, and R2000, i never said the hookers were leaving your tower or room..i am sure your is very nice....i was concerned about the "friendliness" of your neighbors...i just asked if yours was in the Conquistador..and i did stay in the Conquistador...if i had a dime for each hooker and his/her client, i could have retired years ago...=)....Hilton also keeps out the hookers by checking IDs...sure keeps them out!! uhh...yeah, right...$200/night doesnt bother alot of people, especially if their company is picking up the tab....

Just my opinion...
