... in response to latin best, posted by young gun on Feb 21, 2002I do not know enough about Latin Best to offer an opinion on their services other than Luz Amparo neglected to answer any of my numerous emails inquiring about a membership. I can tell you that it's in a very nice area of Cali called La Flora.
I have had some negative experiences with both Latin Encounters and Latin Brides who I believe are owned by the same people. They are across town from Latin Best, about a 4 dollar cab ride. Horrible customer service, I'd recommend not wasting your money. Another place to avoid like the plague: Aspiring Latin Models. I have never had any experiences with the owner Ed Beckwith, but I have heard absolutely nothing but negative comments about him.
I do not recommend paying membership fees to an agency. I've heard about too many gringos being ripped off. I think Latin Best offers a 1 week membership for around 50 bucks which isn't bad.
I would personally recommend Latin Women Connection. Robert and his wife Giovanna offer a great service and for around 50 bucks per day you can stay at their very nice condo (one block away from Latin Best) and use the agency. They don't charge membership fees. It's the best deal in Cali in my opinion.
I don't know anything about many other agencies, but I'd say that Latin Women Connection and Latin Best are your best options. LWC has a nicer condo than LB at around the same price.
