I was recently in San Salvador and went to a number of the clubs in the city.

Hotel

I stayed at the Holiday Inn in the Antiguo Cuscatlan area of the city. Very nice hotel that had a good buffet breakfast until 11 AM each day. The hotel is located in upscale / safe area of the city. There are numerous restaurants, stores, and banks within walking distance of the hotel. There were two good malls within a 15 to 20 minute walk from the hotel. They were the La Grand Via and the Multiplex Mall. I did not bring anyone back to the hotel. I don’t know if it would have been a problem. I usually only do short time sessions in the rooms provided in the clubs.

Transportation

I took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (about 50 minutes)) for $35. I bought a SIM card and plan from Moviestar in the Grand Via mall. The cost was $4 and the plan was good for 2 weeks and included 5 GB of data. I used Uber every night to go to the clubs and moving between clubs. I also used Uber several times during the day for sightseeing. The Uber rides ran from $2 to about $7. I returned to the airport via Uber and it ran around $23 in the late morning.

Clubs

The prices quoted are what I paid or was quoted by girls working in the clubs. This city is filled with clubs, spas, and casas. I was only able to visit a small sample of what is available.

Club Zou Bar

This is a daytime casa/bar open from 10 AM until 7:30 PM Monday – Saturday. I arrived around 5 PM and paid a $7 cover charge that included 2 drinks. There were 7 or 8 girls available and 2 were doable. I had a drink with one girl and she passed my interview. I paid $45 for 45 minutes and took her to a room with a good sized bed. I enjoyed the session and time didn’t seem to be a factor. No one seems to keep track of the time. I think it’s probably up to the girl. No knock on the door happened.

Cocktails and Dreams Club

Pretty nice club. I paid a $10 cover that included 1 drink on a Saturday night. There were about 8 or 9 girls available. Only 2 were doable and they were drinking and doing table dances with guys. The other girls were overweight. I had 1 bottle of water watched a couple of girls dance and then left.

Secrets

I went here on a Saturday night and paid a $5 cover that included 1 drink. Many guys here. There were probably 12 or 15 girls scattered around several rooms that make up the club. All of the doable ones were busy with guys. I had a bottle of water and left. This place is probably better on a weekday night.

Kairos

I went here 2 times and took a girl each time. The cover is $3 and includes one drink. This is a good sized club and had many girls working the nights I was there. There were also a number of doable girls each visit. They also have pretty much continuous strip shows. Often they have 2 girls dancing at a time. I paid each girl $50 for 40 minutes. No one seems to keep track of the time. Never had a knock on the door with either girl. The rooms were good size with an adequate bed. Many guys in a lot of these clubs seem drink beer with their buddies and do table dances with the girls. Only a few seem to take girls to a room.

Fuego

This club is adjacent to Kairos. A car wash separates the two places. I paid a $3 cover which included a 1 drink. This is a good sized club that has two levels and also had pretty much continuous strip shows the night I was there. I had a drink with one girl who was very doable. She quoted me a price of $90 for 30 minutes. She told me that every girl sets their price and it runs from $50 to $90. Her price definitely sounded like a gringo price. I don’t know if I could have negotiated it down or not. I had taken care of business at Kairos and wasn’t interested in another session. I am over 70 and only do 1 session a day with an occasional day off.

Pasarela Men’s Club

This is a day place that is open from 2 PM to 8 PM. The cover is $5 with no drink included. I paid $2 for a bottle of water. This is a nice club. I was there at 5 PM. All of the girls that I saw were overweight and not doable. I finished my bottle of water and left.

Hunter House

This place is open from 2 PM to 10 PM. Closed on Sunday. The cover is $7 and includes 1 drink. This is a very nice club and has an occasional strip show. I went here twice and took a girl each time. There were about 10 or 12 girls working here and about half were Colombians. A number of these girls were doable. The first girl that I took was 20 years old, very hot, and from Bogota. The second girl was in her early thirties and from Medellin. The price is set by the house at $45 for 30 minutes and $80 for 60 minutes. I chose the 30 minute option each time. The rooms were excellent with a stripper pole in the middle of each room. Again, no one seemed to be very concerned with time.

I got my antigen test the day before the flight home at a Max Bloch Lab location near the hotel. There are numerous Max Bloch locations around the city. No appointment was necessary. There were only 2 people ahead of me the morning that I went. The cost was $25. The results were sent to both my Whatsapp number and email in a little over an hour. They had quoted 2 hours. Very easy process.

I hope that this report is helpful to anyone who wishes to visit San Salvador.

Thanks for the report ! Good details if I ever branch out from CR and Panama in Central America.

Thanks. Always good to hear about a new area.

What was the service like? DFK/GFE a norm? CIM?

I wasn’t looking for DFK. When I was in El Salvador, the Delta variant was still pretty strong. CIM,CIP, BBFS, etc would be extras. I think you could negotiate a lot of these items for a propina as part of your interview. I don’t tip, however every girl asked for one. If something is important to you, I would negotiate it ahead of time. They are going to ask for a tip anyway.

I didn’t see any gringos in any of these clubs / bars and only a few in the hotel. I guess enough of the few gringos that have been to these places have tipped and we now have developed a reputation among the girls.

Thanks for the further info. My idea of a unexplored venue would be easy access to extras. Perhaps advance negotiation for the extras for a small propina is easy access.

How did the local girls compare in looks to Columbiannas?

There are more attractive girls in Colombia than El Salvador. There are girls from Colombia working in San Salvador. Around half the girls working in the Hunter House were from Colombia in mid December.

I found the girls from El Salvador to be very friendly and many had good attitudes. In a number of the places, I was able to find girls that I considered doable. I also felt safer walking around the better areas of the city (there are many) than in Bogota. Walking during the day and using mostly Uber or an occasional taxi at night worked well from a safety perspective. I never felt any danger.
