Lots of good choices - I've had great times in lots of termas and then returned to the same termas the next day and been disappointed for some reason. My personal favorite has to be Solarium; this is mostly based on overall consistency ie, that I've never really had a bad time there.
What is your favorite?
By Billcink on Saturday, January 19, 2002 - 04:05 am: Edit |
Youngtom, You have more experience than me at the termas,but from from my one trip I'd have to agree on Solarium.
By Youngtom on Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 03:05 am: Edit |
Billcink - have you figured out when your return trip to Rio is going to be? :-)
By Billcink on Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 07:17 am: Edit |
Youngtom, I have the first week in March off from work.Not sure if I,m going although i'd like to.Have a great time at Carnaval by the way.I'm sure you can't wait.
By Youngtom on Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 09:21 pm: Edit |
Billcink - Thanks; I'm really looking forward to Carnaval. I was just kidding ya about your return trip. What seems to happen to many of us is after our first trip, we're already Rio addicts. I think it took me a whole week after my 1st trip before I booked my next trip (AA ran a sale). I went Gold on AA last year from my Rio trips (I didn't go anywhere else).

The answer to this question changes every visit to Rio, every day and at any given moment of passion. We all know the women at the termas change constantly, and some women migrate from one termas to another. In the span of five months, I knew one woman who went through three termas and had three different termas names. At her third termas, I was in the suite with her and told her "Eu sou com quatro mulheres," and I then rattled off her three termas names and her real name.
Every termas has been my favorite at one time or another. A great trip is when they are all my favorites. There have been times when one or another were not among my favorites. That all being said, I have to say Termas 44 will always be among my favorites because out of 100-150 women, there is not only a few but many who will fuel your passions. Termas Rio Antigo, Termas 65 and Solarium always seem to have at least a few to rouse the boyz. Monte Carlo and Termas L'Uomo fell off my favorites list at times during the (our) summer and fall, but recently they have elevated themsevles back into favorite status. But as we all know, it only takes one or two at any given place to make a termas work for you.
I still haven't made it to Centaurus. Partly because of its cost, hardsell reputation (I admit to being weak and have a hard time saying No -- which isn't to say I can't say No.) and location. Since I am such a big fan of the termas, I locate myself in what I call the "Termas Golden Triangle," which is formed by Monte Carlo, L'Uomo and the Cardeal Arcoverde subway station. If I stay at a hotel, it's the Atlantico Copacabana Hotel which is across the street from L'Uomo. It doesn't have a guest fee, and for R150 you can get a "suite." I put quotation marks around suite because the living room isn't worth writing about. However, the bathroom includes a sauna, jacuzzi and shower (including bathrobes) -- a mini-termas. The bedroom has a queen sized bed. I prefer staying at an apartment, but when there is no cost differential, like around New Years, I'll stay at the hotel. Besides being a few minutes walk from Monte Carlo and L'Uomo, it is a 5-7 minute walk to the subway, making easy access to the downtown termas. At times, I've done 2 or all 3 of the downtown termas for a full afternoon/evening. The last train from the Carioca station to Copacabana leaves shortly after 11PM. But my usual pattern consists of a late morning/early afternoon walk-in guest, afternoon/early evening downtown termas and a late evening Copacabana termas. The only times I need to take a taxi to a termas is when I want to go to Solarium.
YoungTom: You seem to be as big a fan of the termas -- if not a bigger fan -- as I am, yet you stay near Help. I'm not a Help, beach cafe scene (Meia Pataca and Mabs) or even late-night stripclub person (though I am closer to the stripclubs than those staying near Help), but with those aside, am I missing something by preferring to stay where I do? On second thought, exclude Help, the beach cafes and the stripclubs (and streetwalkers) what else is there besides the termas and escort services (and non-pros)?
By Wilco on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 04:18 pm: Edit |
Great post Wilmaflint (you must explain the name some day, LOL). I have a few Q's, if you don't mind.
Does Atlantico Copacabana Hotel have a website? Do you find it necessary to make reservations in advance there? Does the suite have a minibar and most importantly, good ac?
I like you're 'Golden Terma Triangle' term. Please elaborate on the subway experience; especially on the relationship regarding whichever downtown drop-offs and how to best get to the various termas.
As to why stay in the Help area? Well, like you, I'm not much of a beach guy, but do enjoy hanging at Meia Pataca, and in the evenings at the cafe in front of Help - though I find I rarely take garotas from there or Help... Still, I enjoy mingling with, and observing this crowd; and often stumble across an acquaintance. Guess it's a ground-zero sorta thing. Another important convenience is the internet cafe around the corner (is there one near L'uomo?)and other familiar necessities such as cambios, restaraunts and grocery stores. Any info on those things in the 'Terma Golden Triangle' would also be appreciated.
Thanks again, and sorry for so many Q's.....

I'm not sure about the subway situation ... apparently 11 of 26 states in Brazil including Sao Paolo and Rio got hit with a major power outage today. The subways were stuck for several hours, and even when the power was restored, the subway system failed again due to a power outage. Brazil has a major energy crisis like California.
I think I'll avoid them when I get to Rio in March.
By Wilmaflint on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 05:47 pm: Edit |
The name? If I'm going to do anonymous email/postings, why not switch gender too -- a virtual transvestite. (Real transvestites work the street adjoing Termas Rio Antigo and the park. The first time I saw them I did the double-take: what-the.... Some of them are obvious, but there were others that were not so obvious.)
The Atlantico Copacabana Hotel? It does have a website, Altantico Copacabana Hotel. I would use a local travel agent like BlameitonRio4travel, because they can get you a rate quote in reals, which is always cheaper than a quote in dollars. The suite is R150 plus the 10% in taxes, and the rate can go up or down a few reals. The hotel and travel agents don't need a credit card number either. In addition, BlameitonRio4travel Bobby knows why you are there and makes the reservation accordingly -- meaning the "suite" (single/double rates are the same, and I always assumed Bobby reserved for a double) without you having to ask for it. The hotel won't allow you to take two women to your room, however. A decent breakfast buffet is included if you can get up before 10AM. Sometimes, the breakfast was all I needed to get through the day. The room has the all important a/c, but you may have to call down to the front desk to get them to turn it on, even though there appears to be an off/on switch in the room. Local phone calls from your room are R1.00 (a phone booth for phone cards is on the reception floor), and they charge R4.00 per day to use the in-closet safe. I've never been in a non-suite room, but I think they go for around R120. There is the omnipresent pay-as-you-consume minibar, but I use the fridge to keep stuff that I buy at the grocery store, which is half a block away. There is an internet place which is half a block away, inside a building mini-mall. There is an entrance on Rua Siqueira Campos and on Rua Ribeiro Barata, and it's R2 per 15 minutes. Like the rest of Copacabana, there are restaurants and fast food places all over the place. Reserve Saturday night for the free feijoada dinner (starts around 6PM, but they continually refill the feijoada buffet until 10 or 11PM) at L'Uomo. I think it's pretty good, and the locals seem to like it too. The women complain that a lot of guys come for the free feijoda and then try for free make-out sessions without the fucky-fucky. The Atlantico serves my purposes or needs well, but it may not serve another person's approach to Rio at all. Having said all of that about the hotel, I do prefer to stay at an apartment within the termas golden triangle, becuase they are cheaper.
The subway? I'm a veteran user of public transportation system in big cities. If you never use public transportation, you are going to be pleasantly surprised. Rio's subway system is great and cheap: R1.30, and there is even a 10 ticket discount. Ticket booths are at every station. No graffiti, no litter, no foul odors, no panhandlers. The train is quiet and fast. There can be a lot of walking within some stations, and there is about a 5 minute walk from the subway station to the termas, when you get off. Of course, the best part is that you get to see and mingle with the everyday people of Rio. My longish Rio report in the Brazil Reports Archive details walking directions from the stations to the termas. This response is getting to be almost as long.

Wilco & Wilmaflint - great thread.
I have to agree with Wilco ; I don't think that you are missing a lot by staying outside of the Help area. And you're right WilmaFlint, I do love those termas and as a direct result I don't spend much time in the beach cafes (since the action in the beach cafes gets going about the same time that the termas get rolling). The primary advantage (as Wilco stated so well) is it is fun to checkout what is happening at Meia Pataca and the café in front of Help from 10-12 PM at night and look to see if anyone you know is there. I generally walk by there 3-4 times a day just to see what is happening.
Probably the main reason that I stay in that area is simply due to monger friendly hotels (Rio Roiss and Debret) and Kenn has some apts down that way. As I hear about hotels like The Atlantico Copacabana, I'm likely to move to other places. A jacuzzi in your hotel for 150 reais a night? I want to check that out next time. I think that one of my biggest problems with finding a hotel is that I want to find a place to stay that does not hassle you when you bring a girl up to your room. So discovering places to stay like the Atlantico Copacabana is great news (thanks WilmaFlint).
I think that the termas will always be my daytime/evening playground. I try to do 2 or 3 termas a day (knocking on the door at Aeroporto at high noon to get the day going; the talent at Aeroporto was up on my last trip in November as well) so I'm not really much for the late night action as well. But since the late night action is great in Rio, one has to try to check it out. As I find out more about the Lido area especially Barbarella's and Franks, that is likely to become my late night playground. I beginning to realize that there is some interesting stuff in the Lido area (thanks to Malandro and others). My initial impression of the Lido area was that it is was a collection of real sleazy bars and I wasn't really interested in that so I never bothered to even check it out; concentrating on Help instead.
By Youngtom on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 10:17 am: Edit |
I generally take the bus to get from Copa to one of the downtown termas. Most of the bus trip is a pleasant ride along various beaches but the part of the ride up Nossa Copacabana is a little tense. The bus drivers weave back & forth (like a kid in a go cart) at 100 mph. I think I'll walk the mile to the subway station and give that a shot.
By Wilmaflint on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 10:25 am: Edit |
Are you the only guy at Aeroporto at noon and how many women are there? This place has gotten such bad press recently, I haven't tried it. It used to get high -- even very high -- marks in the past.
By Youngtom on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 11:25 am: Edit |
I first went to Aeroporto about a year ago and I was disappointed with it (I liked the boite & that was about it). Lucky I found 1 woman in there that I liked. But if the place didn't open at 12, I never would have returned; I also found this one girl in there that is a sex machine on full throttle. BTW- I was kinda kidding about arriving at exactly at noon, but you can hit Aeroporto in the early afternoon prior to any of the other termas even opening. But there are probably 20 women or so, in there by 1 PM.
In November, I returned & was pleasantly surprised that the overall level of talent seemed pretty good. I would say that it is on par with talent at L'uomo and Monte Carlo; actually it was notch above L'uomo and Monte Carlo. With it's early opening time, it is a good way to get the day going.
It sounds to me that the talent level in almost all of the termas is pretty good right now. I heard good things about L'uomo, Monte Carlo, and Centarus recently. Things looked good to me at 4x4, Termas 65, Solarium, and Rio Antigo.
By Wilco on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 12:30 pm: Edit |
Thnks for the great info, guys.... Wilma, could you further elaborate on where to exit the subway and how to get to the various termas? Sorry, I know my request is an analytical bitch,
As to Aeroporto... I have always visited it on my last day in Rio, as they are particularly suited to handle travelers on the go. I am surprised to hear there have been negative reports of late, as I've always found it to be great. Actually, I will be visiting it much earlier upon my next visit. It sucked having met a favorita there who lives in Copacabana, and not being able to spend more than a couple fare-well hours with her.
By Wilmaflint on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 02:51 pm: Edit |
I bought a map of Rio in the states and made photocopies of the appropriate sections of the map. I kept them in my pocket, if I thought that I might need them. The first time in Rio the photocopies were a good security blanket, but I don't need them anymore. I should add that the subways shut down shortly after 11PM. I really had to hustle out of Termas 44 to make the last train out one night in January. When I exited the station in Copacabana, the guard literally shut the gate to the station after I walked by him. I copied and pasted this from the aforementioned report:
"Miscellaneous Assistance #3: I go to Centro by using the Rio subway, which costs 1.30R for a one way ticket. The last stop of the subway line that ends in Copacabana is Cardeal Arcoverde; a subway stop is being built on Rua Siqueira Campus and Tonelero. The Cardeal Arcoverde stop is where Tonelero and Rua Barata Ribeiro meet -- about a 5 minute walk from Rua Siqueira Campos. In Centro I got off at the Carioca stop, unless I wanted to go the Uruguaiana flea market to get music cds -- Uruguaiana stop. The Carioca stop makes for a walk of about 5 minutes, and the area between the station and the two downtown termas must have the most police in all of Rio. It is the financial district of Rio. There are 3 exits to the Carioca station: if you take the Convento exit, you will exit to a plaza and walk straight towards the Citibank (take note PLUS ATM cardholders). Take a right at the Citibank, and a short block later you will be on Rua Branco, which is a 5 lane street. Walk left on Rua Branco for about 4 short blocks, and you will hit Rua do Rosario, and a block later you will see Rua de Buenos Aires. There is a McDonalds just before the two streets, and the termas are on the opposite side of the street from the McDonalds. Termas 65 is a short block and a half right off Rua Branco on Rua do Rosario. Termas 44 is a half block off Rua Branco on Rua de Buenos Aires. You can also take the Rua Branco exit and walk to Rua Branco and then take a left. If you take third exit, which is called the something Chile exit, you are on your own. I started staying later and later at Termas 44 until I was just making sure I made it back to Copacabana before the subway shut down. The first trip I started falling into the pattern of tourist in the morning/early afternoon, a downtown termas in the afternoon/early evening and then a Copacabana terma at night. During the second trip I would play tourist or see a woman in the morning/early afternoon in the apartamento and sometimes did two downtown termas from late afternoon to late evening. In addition, next to the Carioca subway station there is a 2nd floor mall called Info Centro, which sells computer stuff. I bought an electrical adapter there for 2R.
For Termas Rio Antigo, get off at the Gloria stop, walk on Gloria in the direction of downtown and turn right on Rua Joaquim Silva. The entrance to Termas Rio Antigo is two doors from the end of the street on the left at 2 Joaquin Silva; Joaquim Silva is a dead end street two very short blocks off Gloria."
By Wilmaflint on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 03:46 pm: Edit |
A note that may interest those who like hearing about how the the termas operate. From what the women tell me (or from what I can understand), they have to stay at the termas for 8 hours. If they get there at 3PM, they can leave at 11PM; if they get there at 4PM, they can leave at midnight. At the Copacabana termas, which close at 2PM on Mon-Fri, a woman can get there at 6PM and leave at 2PM. So, if a woman wants to maximize her earnings at a downtown termas, it is best she get there by 4PM. If she needs to leave downtown by 10PM, she has to get there by 2PM and face a boite with few, if any, men for 2-3 hours.
If they arrive late and cannot fulfill the 8 hour requirement, they have to pay a fine that is roughly the equivalent of their share of one customer's cabine fee, which is about R80-90-100. If they leave early (before their 8 hours are finished), they have to pay the fine.
The downtown termas require a 5 day work week, and the Copacabana termas require the women to work a 6 day week. I assume there is a fine for an unexcused absence. One women called in sick and spent a day with me, so I guess there are excused absences not involving a fine. At least, she didn't ask me to pay for a fine. I think that women can opt out for a week or weeks, but termas also can mandate that women not work certain days, weeks, a month or even longer, in order to allow for a fresh supply or rotation of faces. I asked the bartender at Monte Carlo, if they change women every month, and he said they do.
It was reported that Centaurus mandates an average of at least 3 fucky-fuckys per day to keep working there, which may help explain the extreme and near desparate hustle that has been reported there (I've never been there). I don't know if the other termas have quotas (I suspect L'Uomo doesn't), but it seems to me that Monte Carlo and Solarium (same owners) tend to bring in a new group of women every month with only the popular (money-makers) ones being allowed to be holdovers from month-to-month.
Women come and go and go and come (no pun intended) at all the termas, and you cannot assume your favorite will be at a particular termas for all of your trips. Some come to Rio for a period of time and then go back home. Many switch termas from time to time. Some find it unprofitable or don't like the life and leave for other opportunities. However, at all the termas except Monte Carlo and Solarium, you can expect to see, to some extent, many of the same women from trip to trip. As indicated before, Monte Carlo and Solarium really does clean house every so often -- every month -- with only a handful of holdovers.
By Wilco on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 08:16 pm: Edit |
Thanks for all the subway help, Wilma. I will be putting it to use soon....
The supposed Centaurus requirment of 3 sessions seems kinda steep; but if so, that would explain some things... Given the odds on particular nights at some termas, it would'nt surprise me to find some garotas do no sessions at all... If such limits are set, I would agree that they do not apply at L'uomo. On my last trip there, a couple hottie loiras seem to have no real interest in visiting the cabina till actively pursued. Could be they had enough business already, however.
By Athos on Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 09:12 pm: Edit |
I have seen garotas getting mulitple sessions at Solarium and Rio Antigo.
Wow subway going to Copa...
By Citydude on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 01:20 am: Edit |
Of all the termas, Quartos-eQuatros and Monte Carlo have the least hustle/hard-sell women IMHO
By Wilmaflint on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 04:32 am: Edit |
Given the lack of customers (and customers who are there to fucky-fucky) at some termas, 3 sounded steep to me too. But Centaurus (I hear) gets its share of customers who do indeed go there to fucky-fucky. At any termas though, an 8-9 who is friendly with a good attitude and a good fucky-fucky -- I meant to say, work -- ethic will have no problems bagging at least 3 a night. Even a 7 will have no problems averaging 3 a night for a week.
By Bendejo on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 12:22 pm: Edit |
I had the impression at l'Huomo that there were girls who didn't get a customer the whole day.
For a while I was taking the subway to 4x4 in the afternoons and staying till the place closed. I met a gal at 65 who said she was mugged a few blocks away one night at around 10pm, so took that as a cue to not walk around there after the business crowd died down. One night I left around 8pm and caught the bus back to Copa on the big street that is to the right of exiting 4x4.
BTW, if any of you are into video games that mercado at Uruguaia has an incredible selection of pirated games for $R9 each.
By Wilmaflint on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 02:14 pm: Edit |
Centaurus was the only that I heard had a quota, so it's second-hand information.
I don't think L'Uomo has a quota. It had the most consistent core of women of all the termas during 5 Rio trips over the past 8 months. I see many more familiar faces than unfamiliar faces at L'Uomo each trip. The reverse is the case for all the other termas.
I also think there are women at all termas who don't get a customer all day. Given the ratio of the numbing number of women there to the men who actually get around to screwing at 4x4, I'm sure there are a fair number (even decent looking women) at 4x4 that don't get a customer.
Some caution is indeed warranted after 9PM at the downtown termas. The latest I've stayed is 10:45PM, and I felt safe -- but I've been an inner city dweller most of my life with a higher safety threshold than most. Termas 65 is one block further from Rua Branco than 4x4 (which is a short half block from Rua Branco), and I can understand how that extra block can raise some eyebrows after 9PM.
The Uruguaia flea market and the surrounding area is indeed an interesting place within which to wander and kill time before going to the downtown termas.
By rock3times on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 08:46 pm: Edit |
Friends,
I would NOT walk in downtown areas after 700pm or sundown whichever comes first. Although there are still a lot of natives on the street, you will be standing out as tourists and you will attract muggers.
Take a taxi, the areas around 4x4 and termas 65 are dangerous. Sometimes have the doormen called taxis for you for a small tip.
By Wilmaflint on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 06:35 am: Edit |
By all means, if you feel uneasy (and this goes for any neighborhood and any city in the world), take the safest option -- whether it be taxis or whatever. Use your own common sense based upon your own comfort level at all times.
By Youngtom on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 11:33 am: Edit |
We've gotten some new blood over here since this thread was started. What is your favorite terma (or termas) & why?
I'm a fan of the small termas with Solarium being my favorite. As several people has noticed recently, the biggest potential problem with the small termas is that there can be a big variance beteen the talent from visit to visit. For some reason despite the fact that Solarium is a smaller termas, over the past year as I've visited the level of talent has remained consistently high.
I'm not really a fan of 4x4 and Centarus (even with the larger number of girls) as the excessive crowds dull the experience for me.
Every trip requires a bit of experimentation. At the beginning of the trip, I'll go to my favorite small termas to evaluate the talent & if the talent is good then I'll continue to return to that termas for the trip; if the talent is substandard then I'll drop that termas for the trip. If times are really bad, then I can end up back at 4x4 or Centaurus. On my last trip during Carnaval, the talent was so up in my favorite small termas that I never even thought about going to 4x4 or Centaurus.
By Dood on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 03:08 pm: Edit |
The sheer volume of eye candy at 4x4 still makes me break out in a cold sweat.
I did like Monte Carlo for one particular reason I also liked it because I found the staff to be very friendly and accomodating. From the front desk ladies to the robe lady to the manager Marios (or whatever his name is). They all remembered my name on the second visit. I was impressed. The only thing that pissed me off is I specifically asked how the charge would appear on my credit card. The laides said "21" or something to that effect. I got my next bill and it said "Termas Monte Carlo".
Bastards. Good thing I'm not married.

Solarium continues to be my fave. Actually, if I had to chose where I would spend my final living day - it would be at Solarium.
Aeroporto would be next. In fact, it will be the first place I hit on my next trip.
Monte Carlo next as I've always had a great time there and love the location and atmosphere.

I don't know Wilco, Aeroporto was my first stop last time. The talent was nowhere near the level of other places, and it was a lot more expensive.
The owner was really nice though.

Termas prices vary slightly from time to time with promotions. If one is going to compare termas prices, then it really only makes sense to compare the total price of the termas visit (entrance fee, money for the girl and the room charge for a cabine). If you compare other things (entrance fees, suite prices, etc) then you are beginning to compare apples to oranges. It seems to me that (if one excludes Centarus) the price difference between any of the termas is only about 20-30 reais (about 10 bucks ) which isn't even worth considering when you make your choice of which termas to go to.
If you think that there is a noticable difference in terms of talent, then that is a very important factor to consider.
Now Centaurus is in a league of its own pricewise - at least 100 reais more than any of the other termas & it is truly expensive.
By Wilco on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 06:30 pm: Edit |
I just can't figure it Dood... I'm pretty picky, yet Aeroporto has always been gold for me.
As always, things change weekly (even daily) at the termas, so maybe I've just been lucky.
By Youngtom on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 07:20 am: Edit |
I saw that Layne mentioned that 4x4 has moved to the top of his termas list (it is one of my current favs as well). The termas that I frequent has changed over time (& I suspect that it will continue to). After my first couple of trips, Centarus & Rio Antigo were my favorite termas. Then after the next few trips Solarium pulled way out into the lead as the favorite. Recently 4x4 and Termas 65 have gained ground & joined Solarium in the lead, Rio Antigo has sunk to the bottom, I sometimes go to Centaurus when a friend insists & I generally have a great time (although I complain about the prices ), Monte Carlo and Luomos also have pretty good talent at the moment (MC seems to be a notch higher of the 2 to me IMHO). So I guess that the talent moves around and we notice new things each time we visit a terma. All the termas have a negative or two & sometimes it is easy to let some small thing bother each of us. The overall talent level seems to be very high across the board (with maybe the exception of Aeroporto and Rio Antigo) at the moment. During the week, I head for Solarium, 4x4, and Termas 65. On the weekends since 4x4 and Termas 65 are closed, I hit Solarium, MC, and L'umos. It is hard to beat a week of terma crawling in Rio

By Bluestraveller on Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 08:43 am: Edit |
Throwing price out the windows, which I do because I'm on vacation. I have narrowed my list to the following termas.
Centaurus
4X4
Luomo
Solarium
Deciding which is my favorite is like deciding whether I like blues music more than rock and roll. It just sort of depends.

I have not been to Rio since the devaluation of the Real. Any idea what Termas rates are at this time?
Any information would help. I'll be there in January if anyone is interested.

mclapp- centaurus is the most at 290 for 40 minutes these days..the cheapest(besides the downtown really cheap termas) I think would be 4x4 at 130 before 5pm....the rest of them fall pretty much under the R200 price tag for basic package...

Layne:
This changes all the time. You may not have the latest of information.
I would never want to question your information, but I am sure you need to investigate this a little me.
Please for our sake. We need to be Kept up to date.

Thanks for the info. Actually at today's exchange rate, that aint too bad. I like Centaurus' quality. I tend to stay awhile and I enjoy the view.
I plan to hit 4x4 this time, I have never been there in the 8+ times I've been to Rio. I always go to Solarium, Centaurus, Rio Antigo, and occaisionally Monte Carlo. I've also been to Help several times, although I don't necessarily like that venue.
This time around I plan to do the odd things like Kenny's boat cruise and throwing a large party with the guys and several guests.

All you guys like those ones that fall over when they stand up. If you walk in front of them, you need to be carefull and walk fast when you are in front of them..
I like the natural ones without silicon, and have some picutres to post from BA when I get home this weekend.
Maybe you will appreciate natural beauty then.
I know. You are still investigating for all of us.

I have not been with any stunner on this trip but maybe I have adjusted to expectations. Here is my current terma preference but as always ymmv;
Did not try 65, Rio Antigo nor Aeroporto:
1. Monte Carlo
2. Solarium
3. 4X4
4. Luomo, suite sucks though.
5. Centaurus, big gap between 4 and 5. Selection is currently NOT better than other termas, probably worse. I basically don´t care about the price but the club just stinks right now.

Now that I am back home I realized I have been with several stunners including Luanna at MC.
My favorite hangout on this trip is a tie right now between Bomboa SP and Monte Carlo RDJ. Bomboa is more relaxed atmosphere but Monte Carlo had incredible lineup, easily dozen ladies. I gotta give the edge to Monte Carlo.

What is you had to make the choice of your life?
By Mclapp on Friday, December 13, 2002 - 07:07 pm: Edit |
Bomboa is a new one that I have not heard of. Where is it located?
By Athos on Friday, December 13, 2002 - 07:14 pm: Edit |
Mclapp
Sorry about the confusion. Bomboa is located in Pinheiros in Sampa; it is an American Bar, the equivalent of a terma.
By Layne87 on Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 06:33 am: Edit |
I am calling this a push on all termas for this trip...quality is good not outstanding in all termas equally... each having their own strong points...
