San Jose General Reports

[Bosschicago]

Looking for a fair-priced hotel with air-con, room safe, hot water, & clean. Hoping to find something near the Del Rey so I can bring girls back from there. Looking for a place that charges nothing for bringing the chica back or small amount.
A $50 per night place would be great. Is this completely unrealistic?

Also hoping to find brown-skinned girls from Nicaragua and Domincan Republic under 24 years of age. Is Del Rey my best bet for good looking girls matching this description?

I've RTFF. The forum threads don't seem to give good answers to these questions.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

i am looking into two hotels in the future. i will stay at the hotel parque del lago on my next trip, because i consider it my headquarters. i will ask the sportsmans lodge and the morazan if i can look at their rooms.

the location is ideal, but the area is not good at night. they are cheap and chica friendly according to other members reports. the downtown area is really happening.

i went into hdr (the pink castle), on a friday at 1pm. this was the weekend of the elections. there were a few (all good looking) girls sitting around, the casino was not open yet, the bar had a small crowd of gringos. i didn't really like the hdr guards with those hand-held metal detectors, sends a bad message.

i like hpdl because it is close to the hospital and a lot of the girls that work there eat at the many restaurants nearby. i love getting with the local girls. i just buy them lunch and ask them about their city, either i hook up with them or they direct me to someone.

one week before presidenta chinchilla became president, i saw her on al punto-to the point, a spanish politics type show. she basically said she was going to help women and children.

she did not go into detail, but i would not be surprised if she shuts down alot of places that she "feels" are exploiting women.

i am cuban and mr. fidel made speeches that won over the people and when he got into office, he changed gears and did something else. who knows what is on presidenta chinchilla's mind. i keep reading conflicting reports about cr. one minute, prostitution is legal (lawfully or over looked?) and then you read stories of places closing down, and hotels not being chica-friendly.

just my observation (and i intend to sit down with locals-men, and find out what they think) but i feel they are trying to clean up the city.

i love cr, the people were really nice to me, they drive on the same side of the road, one of the few places i would rent a car. crime wasn't prevalent during the day, most places suffer from night-time crime.

i don't know what the principle source of income is for the people of sj, but they appear to have an okay life. i would move there tomorrow, if i had a retirement.

i think if there is a movement to clean up the city, it will be done low key. i don't think they want it to be known as a concern. maybe they want to increase their tourist trade by being more upscale to foreign travelers. when i researched the hotels on the travel websites, a lot of reviews showed people complaining about the chicas and warned them not to go there.

editor's note: i would suggest that the author or another forum member consider posting a link to this report in the reports of distinction thread. please click here (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php) for more information.

I've never been to CR but I have been to the DR often. In the DR P4P is a pretty fundamental part of the culture. Every small town has if not a casa, then a disco tipico where a man can pick up a chica for pay. Foreigners pay more but are only a tiny part of the total business. Trying to pass a law against it would be pretty pointless.

How is the local P4P? Most of the posts are about the Del rey or a few spots in the Capital. What is the tica culture like toward P4P beyond foreigners?

Check out the Hotel Castillo, or the Dunn Inn Hotel, La Amastad Hotel...all within walking distance of the Del Rey Hotel and all chica friendly - around the $ 50.00 range, and none of them charges any extra chica fees

[Stevewxly]

Finally, a recent post of SJ! Thanks ThaiJ!

Any good mall experience?


Check out the San Pedro Mall - about 3 miles East from the downtown area - Del Rey Hotel....via taxi - about $ 2-3.00 or regular city bus - about 40 cents. You will need to ask around where to catch the bus....but it will be down on 2nd Ave.

The mall is nice, with a good selection or stores, movies and a good food court for eats.

[Nixonbd]

Returned from a 4-day stay at HDR a little over a week ago.
Stayed at HDR, convenient because you can charge your bar tab/meals etc to your room. The casino is open a little earlier than when I was last down there, they open at 11 am now.
Not much has changed, I thought the talent level was down a few notches. Not nearly as many Columbianas and Nicas as in past trips. Not sure why that is. Only a couple girls that I would classify at 10's, more in the 7-9 range.
$100 is still the opening bid. Don't pay more than $60 - $80.
Key Largo was hopping on the weekends, as always.
Bartenders & waitresses at the BM/HRD and KL will hit you up for shots - they've been warned that they need to get their sales up. One gringo was buying two chica's shots in KL, little did he know until the 5th round that the shots were $11 a piece. He was pissed, but little he could do at that point. I believe they were friends of the chica bartender. Just a warning.
Had problems with the ATMs inside the HDR on Saturday. Message on both said "bank unavailable." According to the hotel manager, the connection to U.S. banks was the problem. There is a small indoor mall across from the New York Bar that has several machines that are secure and dispense U.S currency. They are located on the 1st floor.
At the airport leaving on Sunday, the line to get through immigration was almost outside the airport. The airport is undergoing some major construction so we had to take shuttle busses from the gate to the plane (AA). The line for arriving passengers to go through immigration was all the way inside the terminal. So expect delays, arriving and departing.
I was told the new Prez doesn't take power until May 1st.

[Bosschicago]

Stevewxly: Thanks very much for the recommendations. I really appreciate it. The money saved will go to good use (girls).

Nixonbd: What do you say to make them come down in price? I'm good at negotiating for things but terrible at negotiating with the chicas. How do you get them to knock $40 off?

Thanks.

Curious, did you use US$ or CR CLN$ when you negotiated and / or paid?

Wow, sounds like madness at the airports.

So how much time prior to your flight departure time would you say one should arrive at the airport?

How is the weather? I am hoping for less rain / more Sun

[Ivorytickler]

I was in Costa Rica for 10 days, Feb. 13-22. San Jose on Feb. 13, 14, 21 and 22. It was difficult to get away so I opted for the closest place from my hotel (Holiday Inn) which turned out to be New Fantasy. A 10 minute walk. I went on 2 successive Sundays.

The first time I walked in, to my surprise I was immediately surrounded by 12 beautiful girls. I had heard that they would be in the little room behind glass, but that was not the case. They actually surrounded me in a big circle. It was difficult to make a choice with them all looking at me, but I finally settled on Azul. Long black hair, an 9 in my book.

She immediately took me back to the room. She quoted me $45 US for an hour, $30 for a half hour. Being in a hurry, I opted for the half hour.

We got undressed. I wanted to start with BBBJ, but she wanted an extra $20 for that, which I gladly paid. After about 10 minutes, of that, she put on the cover and got into cowgirl. She rode me for another 10 minutes before I came.

The second visit was much like the first, except that this time the girls were in the side room behind the glass, just sitting and talking. I couldn't see through the cloudy glass very well, so I just walked around the wall to see the girls better. Then I came out to the madam at the reception desk. She asked me to point out the girl I wanted on the monitor. I pointed to one of only 2 blond girls that I had seen. Her name turned out to be Susanna. She was about an 8. Short and cute.

I went for the same deal in the room. $30 for a half hour + $20 for BBBJ.

Tried a variety of positions, finished in mish.

Both girls were quite enthusiastic and friendly. Susanna said that if I came back for an hour she would give me 2 pops, no problem.

Alas, I didn't have time for a return visit.

My next report will be from my favorite mongering country, Spain, where I will be for the months of June and July.

I used $$US when negotiating with the chicas. That CR monoply money gets too confusing and the girls all know the US currency anyway.

The airport was hectic, but again, it was Sunday afternoon. I got to the airport at 12:30 pm for a 2:35 pm flight and had plenty of time to spare. Still, I feel anything less than 2-hours and you may be cutting it close.

The weather was great!! Low 80s, no humidity and not a drop of rain.

[Tasty1]

Does anyone know if SJ mongering places like Del Rey etc are closed, slow on Easter Sunday. Made reservation for arriving on Sunday.

[Chitown Gino]

Does anyone have know anything about this club. If you in the Del Rey and go out the door to the taxi's I was told to turn right out of that door, go 2 blocks and turn right again, go 1 block and turn left and its down 6 blocks.

I am not sure what kind of club it is but they have rooms on site and do p4p is what I was told, any help would be appreciated, you can PM me if you like, thanks

LKI think you are talking about this place http://www.newfantasy.net/espanol/home.html

It a high end MP about 40.00 an hour

[Mr Jetsetter]

Does anyone know if SJ mongering places like Del Rey etc are closed, slow on Easter Sunday. Made reservation for arriving on Sunday.

The Del Rey will likely be open but very slow. Most every other mongering destination in town will be closed, with the exception of the Sportsmens Lodge. Don't worry too much, things will be back to normal the next day.

[BluntForceTrauma]

Partying at the beaches for half the country, stay away from the mobs. Meanwhile, the entire week will likely be in the doldrums everywhere else, but still going, just at 20% the norm. A bad time to visit as a newbie. Remember, lotsa working girls wear crosses around their necks while getting sweaty. Easter time is family time, as are all Sundays.

[Fantasy]

Not sure if this has been covered or not yet, but I am just back from two weeks in San Jose and was finally able to get a prepaid chip for my unlocked cell phone. Costa Rica had been the only country out of the 17 Latin American Countries I have visited, where I could not get a Sim Card.
The wait is finally over. PM me if anyone needs to know the process. It is extremely simple.

I've never been there for Easter or holy week. My buddy has though and told me that on Easter Sunday last year police/authorities came to the Sportsman's Lodge and taped the liquor bottles shut! Oh well, it's only one day. Plan in advance. If you have or can get a hold of the phone number of a chica who is willing to sneak away from the family to spend some time with you the day will pass a lot quicker.

I'm going the week prior, March 25-29. I expect it to be business as usual for those dates. Good luck.

[Viva Chicas]

Hello everyone. Surely you guys can go one day without doing the deed. Give the girl a day off to go to church and be with her family. It is this 'gotta have sex all the time, day and night', that actually gives mongers their bad name in the media and to most non monger types. Take a day off and give the little man a day off to store up more leche for the day after Easter.

[Qncterra]

I'm going down on 22nd, for a few days. I hope that there is some reasonable relaxation at that time. My bud can't go this time, but he just got back was giving me some strange reports about changes from the new lady Pres. I think he was being paranoid.

Does anybody know anything about stepped up street stops to check ID's in the last two or three weeks? Have basic costs of living gone up since I was there in October?

[Huevonn]

Are there any decent Casas de Masajes in the Heredia area. It looks like I will unfortunately have to be staying in this area and was wondering.

I have been doing some research that I would be glad to share with you. Unfortunately you don't have PM access.

If you sign up for a senior membership send me a PM. I will give you what I have.

'm in the process, hopefully it will be through shortly, thanks.

[Playa Pavones]

Easter week in Costa Rica is typically very slow at Del Rey. If are planning on going to beach or volcano (or even renting a car), make sure you've got a reservation.

[Yardbird123]

tried out a couple mps: masajes oasis, veronica massge terapeuta profesional, new fantasy, calle 6, hostel marruecos, idem, relax to name a few; the del ray, key largo, sportsman’s.how was veronicas? i plan to make my first visit to cr in a few weeks and veronicas is on my list. i can't find any other posts about this place. any info would be appreciated.

I just had a PM from a first time visitor ( Redfield10) going to Costa Rica - he wanted some local info for his trip.

So I thought I would post it here for others ( Newbys) to read....maybe they will get some good pointers from it:

...................................................

Glad to try to help you with info on CR. I have not ever met Bunda Man but have exchanged some correspondence with him over this forum.

Her goes---- For A First Timer in Costa Rica :


If I were you I would try to fly into San Jose and then would think you will want to check it out for 2-3 days then start making your side trips or day trips from SJ to other parts of the country.

I am not sure of your budget but here are my hotel recommendations for you....starting from the lowest price place and going up. You may want a budget- cheapo place for the money, or perhaps your pocketbook can stand more luxury & comfort for a higher price.

Cheap hotel - Nuevo Hotel Johnson...( 2nd Ave & 8th Street) downtown San Jose...in the heart of town.....$ 12.00 a night for a double bed room, color TV, private shower/bath, second floor - above the noise of traffic, elevator, Tico (is a local Costa Rican man...) owned and managed. Is about 10-12 blocks walk to what they call the Gulch.....close to the Hotel Del Rey area. $ About $ 2.00 by taxi to the Del Rey.

((( And you will probably find yourself going quite a bit to the Hotel Del Rey - it is ground zero for P4P gals in San Jose))))

Hotel Johnson is Chica friendly...meaning you can bring local gals back to your room-no problem. This is usually free but one of the night clerks will try to charge you $ 2-3.00 for this...pay it...and then see Johan during the day...he will probably tell the clerk that you should not be charged for this.

Manager is Johan, (Tico)and he speaks perfect Englisn- nice guy-only works days. Other clerks speak some English, Can Pay in local Colones or US dollars. This hotel is fairly clean, secure and safe for Gringos...but most of the guests will be locals (Tico's & Tica's) with a few foreign travelers.

They have a web site...but you will not need a reservation...lots of rooms - seldom fills up.

I stay here all the time and do so because I am sort of cheap and can't see spending a lot of money just to sleep and shower up.

There really aren't any medium priced hotels to my knowledge in San Jose (at least in the downtown area)

Next recommendation would be the Hotel Castillo. $ 45-50.00 a night....everything as above...but nicer digs and more comfortable. 6 blocks North from Del Rey...can walk during the daytime...taxi at night.
Web site- yes, reservations needed.

Sportsman's Lodge - 7-8 blocks from Hotel Del Rey ( 4 blocks from Hotel Castillo)....nice place with working gals on premises, nice bar, good food, rooms start at about $ 60.00 and up. Very comfortable and homey. Owner - manager - Bill - from the US...very friendly and a great host.
Web site - yes, reservations a must...usually filled up.

Hotel La Amastad- about 1 mile from Hotel Del Rey - HDR.......nice clean, up scale hotel, good bar, good restaurant - good food, about $ 50.00 and up for a room. One of my favorites.....Web site - yes, reservations - yes...can fill up quickly.

Hotel Del Rey - where you will be spending some of your time to look at and interact with all the girls. On a good night (weekend) there may be 25-30 gringos, or foreign guys around, and there will probably be upwards of 50-60 working girls there.

HDR has - Two bars, a casino, and rooms upstairs...starting at about $ 60- $ 70.00...plus they charge a $ 10.00 fee to bring a girl up to your room.....nice expensive restaurant - next door. also a night club ( Key Largo)on premises....usually has a local band for dancing.

I have never stayed at the HDR...'too rich for my blood'...but I have spent a lot of time there checking out the ladies.

The HDR ladies will ask you for $ 100.00 for a pop...but you can usually bargain them down to around $ 65-80.00....for a one hour session...either on premises ( if you are staying there in a room) , or take them to your other hotel via taxi.

Day trips....I have traveled extensively in Costa Rica...and seldom made 'day trips' from San Jose and then returned at night...when I did these trips I would go to the place and stay there for a few days.

Travel inside CR - I like to the regular buses because they are safe, cheap, and a good way to travel around CR.

There are also mini buses run by Grey Line and Interbus...more expensive...about $ 25-30.00 per trip depending upon where you are going.
But more comfy than the regular buses.......

Taxi's should be used for very local travel.....they are great if you are only going to go say less than 7-10 miles. Longer trips - take a bus.

Typical taxi ride....2-3 miles - $ 2 to 3.00: 6-7 miles - $ 4-5.00: taxi from airport to downtown...about 13-14 miles - about $ 20-23.00.

Bus from airport to downtown- about 60 cents.

Side trips -
Jaco Beach...about 2+ hours from San Jose via bus.
Jaco is a typical beach town...the beach vibe is pretty good, but the beach itself is sort of dirty and unkept. Several good P4P clubs in Jaco...main one is the Beatle Bar.

My favorite hotel here is the Los Four Grandes...big king sizes suites, for about $ 35.00 (low season---from May until Oct.)

Quepos - Manual Antonio - go thru Jaco via bus, then about another hour or a half.....perhaps about 125 miles from San Jose.
Nice small town on the Pacific Ocean known for it's good fishing. Some P4P opportunities in the local bars. Check out Whacky Wanda's Bar......

Best Western Hotel - perhaps the best in town....about $ 60.00 up....they do not encourage you to bring local girls back to the hotel. It can be done, but you have to sort of smuggle them in up the back stairs.

Nice inexpensive hotel - the Hotel Maliche....rooms from $ 20.00 and up...clean, with or without AC. Close in...right downtown in Quepos.

Manaul Antonio - small area with a National Park and perhaps the most pristine, most beautiful beach in all of Costa Rica. About 6-7 miles from Quepos.

I spent 30 days here in 2008 - housesitting a nice large home overlooking the Pacific. Had a good time, but the town is very small...not much more than a good sized village....it's a pretty place though. Quepos, CR is laid back and the living is s-l-o-w & easy there. If I were going to try to write a book, walk the beach, and to get away for awhile - this would probably be the place to go. Great place to do some fishing too.

Other places on the pacific side.....Golfito, is OK,

Dominical - nice beach, very small village, lots of young surfer dudes and young foreign girls go there.
I did not care for it...as I am too old for that scene.

Punteranas - Old banana plantation town...Northwest from San Jose. The town has seen better days since the banana business moved out and relocated somewhere else. There is a great big pier here and lots of the cruise ships stop here for the night on their way to and from ...going to Panama, South America and then back up to Mexico and San Diego.

Some P4P opportunities in a few of the local bars.

You can fish off the pier....if there are no ships tied up to it...otherwise if a ship ( cruise ship or perhaps a ship carrying bananas to the US) ----is in...no fishing.

East Coast of CR -
Limon, and old worn city...rather dirty, nothing much here of interest.

Puerto Viejo - Small village on the Atlantic Ocean.....lots of young foreign travelers...especially girls from Europe going thru here, and surfer dudes.
Some fairly nice small hotels, and good local restaurants, not my kind of place...the crowd is too young, and the streets at night are filled with the aroma of 'weed'....which must be everywhere here. Pretty beaches though, and the kind of place where I guy could 'go to get lost' for awhile.

I think I have covered some of the 'highlights" for a first time traveler to Costa Rica.

I recommend you make the trip and hope you enjoy yourself.

[Redfield10]

Thanks, Steve.

I won't be going until the end of Oct. /first part of Nov. I plan on staying for maybe 9-10 days. I appreciate the San Jose info. I think what I will tentativel (lots of time to learn more and change my mind, etc.) is to spend 2 or 3 days in San Jose (do a day trip or two around the city and close by). See the women at night, etc. And then figure out a nice beach place to go for the next 3-4 days and then spend the final 3 or so back in San Jose in case I haven't gotten my fill of women, etc.

Any input from the folks here regarding. Well, should I just go to Jaco for the three or four days in the middle of the tip and arrange this after I arrive or should I go to Jaco and then down to Quepos. Perhaps spending two days in each?

Again, I really appreciate the advice. I remember how much I benefitted from all the advice I received when I went to SE Asia the first time.

Next recommendation would be the Hotel Castillo. $ 45-50.00 a night....everything as above...but nicer digs and more comfortable. 6 blocks North from Del Rey...can walk during the daytime...taxi at night.
Web site- yes, reservations needed.

Sportsman's Lodge - 7-8 blocks from Hotel Del Rey ( 4 blocks from Hotel Castillo)....nice place with working gals on premises, nice bar, good food, rooms start at about $ 60.00 and up. Very comfortable and homey. Owner - manager - Bill - from the US...very friendly and a great host.
Web site - yes, reservations a must...usually filled up.

Hotel La Amastad- about 1 mile from Hotel Del Rey - HDR.......nice clean, up scale hotel, good bar, good restaurant - good food, about $ 50.00 and up for a room. One of my favorites.....Web site - yes, reservations - yes...can fill up quickly.

Hotel Del Rey - where you will be spending some of your time to look at and interact with all the girls. On a good night (weekend) there may be 25-30 gringos, or foreign guys around, and there will probably be upwards of 50-60 working girls there.

HDR has - Two bars, a casino, and rooms upstairs...starting at about $ 60- $ 70.00...plus they charge a $ 10.00 fee to bring a girl up to your room.....nice expensive restaurant - next door. also a night club ( Key Largo)on premises....usually has a local band for dancing.

I have never stayed at the HDR...'too rich for my blood'...but I have spent a lot of time there checking out the ladies.

The HDR ladies will ask you for $ 100.00 for a pop...but you can usually bargain them down to around $ 65-80.00....for a one hour session...either on premises ( if you are staying there in a room) , or take them to your other hotel via taxi.

Day trips....I have traveled extensively in Costa Rica...and seldom made 'day trips' from San Jose and then returned at night...when I did these trips I would go to the place and stay there for a few days.

Travel inside CR - I like to the regular buses because they are safe, cheap, and a good way to travel around CR.

There are also mini buses run by Grey Line and Interbus...more expensive...about $ 25-30.00 per trip depending upon where you are going.
But more comfy than the regular buses.......

Taxi's should be used for very local travel.....they are great if you are only going to go say less than 7-10 miles. Longer trips - take a bus.

Typical taxi ride....2-3 miles - $ 2 to 3.00: 6-7 miles - $ 4-5.00: taxi from airport to downtown...about 13-14 miles - about $ 20-23.00.

Bus from airport to downtown- about 60 cents.

Side trips -
Jaco Beach...about 2+ hours from San Jose via bus.
Jaco is a typical beach town...the beach vibe is pretty good, but the beach itself is sort of dirty and unkept. Several good P4P clubs in Jaco...main one is the Beatle Bar.

My favorite hotel here is the Los Four Grandes...big king sizes suites, for about $ 35.00 (low season---from May until Oct.)

Quepos - Manual Antonio - go thru Jaco via bus, then about another hour or a half.....perhaps about 125 miles from San Jose.
Nice small town on the Pacific Ocean known for it's good fishing. Some P4P opportunities in the local bars. Check out Whacky Wanda's Bar......

Best Western Hotel - perhaps the best in town....about $ 60.00 up....they do not encourage you to bring local girls back to the hotel. It can be done, but you have to sort of smuggle them in up the back stairs.

Nice inexpensive hotel - the Hotel Maliche....rooms from $ 20.00 and up...clean, with or without AC. Close in...right downtown in Quepos.

Manaul Antonio - small area with a National Park and perhaps the most pristine, most beautiful beach in all of Costa Rica. About 6-7 miles from Quepos.

I spent 30 days here in 2008 - housesitting a nice large home overlooking the Pacific. Had a good time, but the town is very small...not much more than a good sized village....it's a pretty place though. Quepos, CR is laid back and the living is s-l-o-w & easy there. If I were going to try to write a book, walk the beach, and to get away for awhile - this would probably be the place to go. Great place to do some fishing too.

Other places on the pacific side.....Golfito, is OK,

Dominical - nice beach, very small village, lots of young surfer dudes and young foreign girls go there.
I did not care for it...as I am too old for that scene.

Punteranas - Old banana plantation town...Northwest from San Jose. The town has seen better days since the banana business moved out and relocated somewhere else. There is a great big pier here and lots of the cruise ships stop here for the night on their way to and from ...going to Panama, South America and then back up to Mexico and San Diego.

Some P4P opportunities in a few of the local bars.

You can fish off the pier....if there are no ships tied up to it...otherwise if a ship ( cruise ship or perhaps a ship carrying bananas to the US) ----is in...no fishing.

East Coast of CR -
Limon, and old worn city...rather dirty, nothing much here of interest.

Puerto Viejo - Small village on the Atlantic Ocean.....lots of young foreign travelers...especially girls from Europe going thru here, and surfer dudes.
Some fairly nice small hotels, and good local restaurants, not my kind of place...the crowd is too young, and the streets at night are filled with the aroma of 'weed'....which must be everywhere here. Pretty beaches though, and the kind of place where I guy could 'go to get lost' for awhile.

I think I have covered some of the 'highlights" for a first time traveler to Costa Rica.

I recommend you make the trip and hope you enjoy yourself.

[The Dirty Pirate]

I find Jaco to be dirty and full of crack heads. Not to say one can't have fun there but you can even go to neighboring Playa Hermosa and get away from a lot of the filth for a close beach run.

[Redfield10]

So you aren't recommending Jaco. Ok. Here's where I'm still at a loss. How to go about spending three or four days during the middle part of my trip. How to get there, where to stay. And where to go.

I guess if a first timer asked me what do if they had 9 days to spend in Thailand I"d have some suggestions based on having been there quite a few times. And Steve gave some suggestions. But still not feeling like I have a good grasp on what I should do.

Just go, I guess. LOL.

I was in jaco a few years ago staying at the best western of all places. They wanted to charge me $50 a guest. The friction between gringos and tourists in the town really turned me off.


Beatle Bar was cool for one or two nights but then it got old.

The best town I saw in that area was parque manuel antonio about 1 1/2 hrs south. I stopped at a few towns before that (quepos) but I was not impressed.

The country side and mountain ranges are beautiful but the only reason I am going back to CR is for san jose.

[The Dirty Pirate]

So you aren't recommending JacoHaha, pretty much I do not recommend it. It's nicknamed "San Jose on the beach". For getting around, the bus is easy to go anywhere but if you have a bit of baggage I also do not recommend it. People get robbed of their things all the time when they use the under-the-bus compartments. Personally, I have never had an issue, but know some who have. That being said, if you need to bring a suitcase or two with, there are many bus shuttles (Interbus for example) where you can go nearly anywhere in the country for 30 - 40 one way in a van. If you do decide to bus there are basically two main terminals, the "Coca Cola station" and the "Parada de Caribe" I think most taxi's know it as. The second does all the runs to the Caribbean side. If you're looking to relax and take it easy, no chicas, Cahuita has a big national park and the Caribbean sea is nice and warm usually. If you'd like to go to the Pacific side, and don't wan't the city feel of Jaco I would recommend Playa Hermosa or anywhere on the Southern end of the Nicoya Peninsula (Montezuma, Mal Pais/Santa Teresa). Anywhere you go you'll be able to find tourist stuff.. Fishing, zip lines, ATV tours, snorkeling and more.

It will be fairly easy to go to jaco or anyplace else from san jose. The pepsi cola bus terminal in downtown san jose has buses that go everywhere. For a more comfortable ride you can take a shuttle service offered through companies like greyhound. I'm sure you will see signs or an office around gringo gulch or just walking around.....your hotel concierge desk.

As far as lodging in jaco ...yes you just show up. The town is only a few blocks long. There are a few places that charge between $40/50. IMHO unless you are surfing it's worth 1 or 2 days tops. Every place I visited south of jaco was worth 1 or 2 days *tops IMHO. Unless of course you are on a nature mission or doing some kind of sports.

Read a guide book. It's all in there.

Steve gave you a good overview

[Baqueta]

I really like to go to Puerto Viejo on the Carribean side of Costa Rica in the middle of my trips.

Its about a 4 hour bus ride around $8. 00 from the terminal cariB.

There are not any places like the BB in Jaco. It is bring your own girl, unles you're a young stud with some game there are alot of Euro and American backpackers.

Hotels run the gamut from $7. 00/ night backpackers hotel (Rocking Js) to $200. Night eco hotels.

[Baqueta]

I might also add that I have smelled the weed being burned as much in Manuel Antonio as in Puerto Viejo.

[Toadtamer2]

You could try further south to Quepos or way north to Flamingo beach.

My two cents: the Arenal/La Fortuna area (no ocean nearby, however) or the Osa Peninsula, via either Drake's Bay or Puerto Jimenez. Might not be much for mongering, but beautiful areas.

Just go, I guess. LOL.My first trip of many to CR, I rented a 4x4 and traveled the country. My wingman and I took two semi pro 19 yo college girls with us and traveled from SJO to Jaco. Stayed at the Best Western Jaco for the night, drank in the Beatle Bar and another disco in town, kicked the college girls to the curb in the morning with bus fare back to SJO, than proceeded to drive down to Quepos (a real shithole town) and up the hill to Manuel Antonio (one of the most beautiful places in the country IMHO), then down to Dominical (nothing much to see and no chica action to speak of) then turned east and traveled the cattateria de muerta (highway of death) back to SJO. In hindsite, I wish we would have stayed in SJO the entire time (so much panocha, so little time LOL) and just did day trips.

An overnight trip to Arenal and the hotsprings with a special tica would be a wonderful experience. Seeing monkeys and Tucans in the trees while relaxing in semiprivate natural hot tubs is pretty romantic and fun. You'll feel like a stud when the gringa touristas give you the "bad eye" for being with a smokin hot latina novia who is half your age! Priceless! Sipping wine in an outdoor hottub on a clear evening while hearing the rumble of the volcano and seeing the lava flow down the hilside while getting a hummer from your chica de jour is truly a memorable.

Another good day trip is to the coffee plantations and a zip line excursion through the jungle canopy. These trips are fun, short, and worth taking a novia with you for the day. They appreciated the excursions and showed there pleasure with some incredible sexo after the trip (most always at no charge) The Zoo is pretty cool as well if you invite a novia and her baby along for the trip.

I would search the forum for a reliable driver and guide who can get you where you want to go and what you need for the excursions instead of taking a tourist bus.

Also, there is a pretty decent golf course in Escazu (if your into golf) that rents clubs and also the Mall close to the airport (forgot the name, I think its Multi Plaza or something like that) is a great place to meet local ticas and practice your game.

In my oppinion, save the extended excursion through the countryside for the next trip. Costa Rica is not for everybody, but if you decide that you like what you saw and plan on going back, that's when you may want to consider exploring other areas of the country. Hope this helps,

Max

[Bunda Man]

Flights from Newark to Atlanta and Atlanta to Costa Rica were uneventful. However, the line for immigration stretching outside of the immigration area reminded me that this is high season. Not too mention the humidity.

My driver, who I reserved in advance as a favor because he needs more fares, didn’t show. So I negotiate with one of the many guys standing on the sidewalk. $20.00 to the Sportsman’s lodge and I’m off. We hit some traffic but he took a great shortcut and I arrived within 20 minutes. Gave him a $5.00 US tip for his efforts.

Its 1:30 in the afternoon and there are about 10 girls strewn out around the SL. Not too many guys, so I get the usually “here comes fresh meat” look from the girls. There are a few cuties around including a nice Tica with implants but I decline for the moment as historically my first session is at a low-end MP. I have a beer and the casado tico con pollo for lunch, take one last look at the girls, and head out to Avenue 7 to pop into Muses, Krysis, Jet Set, Flamingo, and possibly HLH. All are within walking distance from one another and although there was a shooting in the area recently reported, involving a drunk surfer who stumbled out of Bar Paos into some thugs, I find that the area is generally safe and well populated with shoppers and people working during the day. Nothing which peaked my interest at Muses. Carolina, who I included in my December report, apparently still works there according to one of the girls but she was not there today. Krysis has a few cuties but costs a bit more 18,000 hr. /12,000 half and I didn’t jive with any of the girls(no pictures, no BBBJ, etc.). Flamingo only has 3 or 4 girls and all look like they were just beat out for the role of Precious at the casting call so I turn around, push aside the dirty, ripped curtain that separates this “dungeon” from the light of the outside world and go next store to Jet Set.

Here I find a Colombia who catches my interest. She doesn’t do BBBJ but promises I won’t even notice the condom and gives me a sample on my index finger, sin condone. There were a few other dark skin cuties in the house but they have as much enthusiasm as a piece of wood so I go with the Colombian. I am planning a trip to Medellin in the summer so why not start now. The session is very passionate. Her oral skills are very good, we do every position I can think of at the moment and she is still extremely wet. I closed out with missionary, which I dared to endeavor on that filthy bed. I could feel wetness on my leg which I can only imagine was bodily fluid form a prior customer. Oh well, that’s what showers and antibacterial gels are for. We are so into it she hit’s the headboard and it comes apart. I put it back together already feeling guilty from only paying 10,000 Colones for this wild session. Took a couple of photos which I will post when I return.

I walk dazed from Jet Set at 4:25pm and come to the corner where HLH is situated. From a distance I see police officers, some with ski masks, and at least three news vans with full crews. A reporter stands at the entrance, one foot inside the property, and questioning a male staffer who had a camera and lights shoved in his face. Actually, what I found funny is that it was actually the news crews who seemed be in charge of everything despite the police presence. It was obvious to me that they were working hand in hand for the publicity. I walked past this disheartening scene and found myself in another mainstay who recently experienced raids under the guise of immigration inspection, the Del Rey. It’s only 4:45pm but already I count at least 15-20 stunners. They even come up to me, although I surely drew attention to myself by using the ATM which gives dollars. Too soon for another session but I am likeing the prospects for this evening. Historically, I have found that Thursday night at the Del Rey has the most stunners. For the moment, back to the SL to watch sweet sixteen action.

[Redfield10]

Max (and everyone),

Thanks so much for all the suggestons. It's interesting to hear all the perspectives and experiences you've had. In the end, I'll have to make up my own mind, but I really appreciate all the help. Keep 'them coming if you want.

Actually, I did think Max made sense. (as did the rest of you). Maybe for my first trip daytrips away from SJ is the way to go. Or at most an overnight on the coast. But seems like a long way to go for just an overnight.

Maybe meeting a chica and doing the daytrip thing is the way to go for a first trip. I have plenty of time to decide.

as I was planning on moving to either San Jose or San Pedro, permanently, during the summer of this year but now I am having 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts(and as many more nds, rds, ths as I can think of!).

For myself and that of existing "Perpetual Tourist" mongers(those that never had a problem making border runs every 90 days to "stay legal", this could be the "knock out" punch!

http://www.usexpatcostarica.com/2010/03/pressure-perpetual-tourists/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Usexpatcostaricacom+%28Share+Your+Costa+Rica+Experience%29&utm_content=Yahoo%21+Mail

It truly sounds like that, since March 1st and, seemingly, overnight, foreigners and, in particular, productive, law-abiding Americans have become an "enemy" of the Costa Rican government which has deemed it in the Costa Rica's best interest, to change all the immigration laws that have been in place and workable for decades! According to the article, you can't even "fine" your way out immigration trouble!

If this isn't an example of convoluted, mis-guided, illogical and unreasonable thinking, and it only "smacks" of emotional jealousy and envy for Americans with a resultant "Yankee, Go Home" attitude! A true "cut off your nose to spite your face" situation!

In my wildest dreams, I would NEVER have expected this from the Costa Rican government as I thought they were "above" this counter-productive way of thinking! I associated this kind of "Yankee, Go Home'" mentality with "banana republics" which I thought, up to now, Costa Rica was not among their "ranks"!

I also wonder out loud if there could be a link with this recent "orgy" of anti-Americanism and the fact that the value of the USD has "fallen through the floor" against the colone!

Lastly, more on the HLH raid that Bunda Man reported on:

http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2010/march/26/costarica10032607.htm

All I can say is SHAME ON COSTA RICA and I wonder, when they eventually meet, how Laura(while her country is persecuting so many good Americans) can look Hillary square in the face and smile and shake hands!

A letter writing campaign to the US State Department!

Any comments from both "visa" residents and perpetual tourists would be appreciated!

[The Dirty Pirate]

Hotel Little Havana (Zona Blue) was raided the other day and is closed. There are articles on most of the newspaper sites. Both the owner and Isabelle (front desk woman) were hauled off. Looks like they won't be opening up for a bit if that is the case, I will try to keep an eye on it and report back any updates as I usually go to Barrio Amon once a week to check out the MPs.

[Bunda Man]

Finished out last night with Pamela(tica with Jet Black hair and implants) who can be found at the SL. Good CBJ and sex. Her body is very nice as well. No pictures allowed as she claims that the owner of a certain establishment told her about CRT and that she knows girls pictures get posted on there. She mentioned that person's name but since I cannot independently verify same I will not disclose.

Went to Relax this morning and sessioned with Pamula(18 year old tica). Fabulous BBBJ and sex. I was drained from last night so we want at it for the full half hour(12,000 Colones) before I popped off. Had lunch at the soda next to Bar Paos for 2,000 colones and dropped by HLH to view the aftermath. The girl at the desk buzzed us in. Wow, all of the doors on the ground floor rooms were kicked in by the police. Some were still on the floor. Staff was in the process of repairing as I saw drills on the floor. A few of the doors had huge slash marks as if an axe was used. Man, that sucks for that guy caught in the act with 5 chicks. I was telling someone before I read the undercovercostarica article that I hoped noone was caught in the act.

According to reliable posters on CRT, the HLH is now open for business again.
Let's hope this raid has more to do with the annual pre-Easter shenanigans the authorities are known for than a possible beginning to a long-term effort to hassle these kinds of places.

Night 2, Day 3

Finished up day 2 at where else, Del Rey and Key Largo. Girls were really sharking. Even some of the better looking ones were grabing and feeling us. Saw a better selection at KL on this night. My wingman left with a smoking hot little dominican firecracker. About 5 foot with a skin tight yellow yellow mini-skirt and a tight little ass. This was the night of the Dominicanas for him as about 5 approached him before he pulled the trigger on his shorty. He is dark skin so he was thinking that was why they approached him.

As for me, there was plenty of fish but I could not turn down the offer of a $100.00 US all nighter. In the Key Largo, saw the Nica I hooked up with at Jet Set back in December (See my November-December report) and she was happy to spend the night for that amount plus dinner, breakfast, and 2,000 Colones for a taxi in the morning. Had dinner at the Del Mar and then back to the room. We woke up at 10am. Some wall shaking sex followed by breakfast.

It's day three and a second wingman, Demetrius50 is arriving today at 2pm. Sitting at the SL while perusing my labtop, we speak to some newbies who describe a memorable second night. Usual early day selection with Jackie(Dominicana with huge boobs) as the best selection. She has a fun disposition about her and always seems happy. She is often occupied this trip. I've been considering her for a while and hope to partake in the near future. After all, you never know with a good working girl, many times it is here today and gone tomorrow. We figure with the long immigration lines D50 might not get in until 3pm so we head out to a soda for lunch. D50 and his driver call us as we are walking past the INS building and his taxi rolls by. We hop in back to the SL. D50 settles in and we are off to the soda for lunch.

After a late lunch we hit the Del Rey at about 4:30pm. Already a decent crowd. Baileys on the rocks and Imperial light for me. We all get molested by a bunch of subpar Nicas as we sip our drinks. Natalie, a Tica with DDs walks by and gives me the eye for a moment before my eyes divert to her gorgeous natural tits(got a free feel at the bar). We chat it up. Her English is very good. I eye her tight black dress and fishnet stockings up and down and of course those phenomenal boobs. We sit at the bar for about an hour and a half with plenty of DFK initiated by her. I'm ready to leave with Natalie for $80.00 US including BBBJ and naked photos. Natalie introduced D50 to a hot Nica but she wouldn't come down from $100.00 U.S. Our other wingman settles on a cute little Colombia and off we go. Natlie was a lot of fun but her cell phone did not stop ringing the entire time. It was 7:30pm. Probably a jealous boyfriend home from work.

Want to try a tico strip club tonight(Pantera, Grillon, etc.) followed by the main attraction of any night, DR and KL.

[Slick Rich33]

Hello, All,

Hotel Del Rey is my favorite spot in Sanjose.

My first time there back in 06 when I entered the place, It was like fantasy Island so many beautiful women In one Place waiting to please you. In fact I had to kick my self for going to Peru so many times before I went to CR.

One thing I do like about Del Rey is that the women are like sharks. If you make eye contact with them for more than a split second they come your way. I never hesitate to say no because in Del Rey us Americans we are the Celebrities! If you speak decent spanish like me and can nogociate you will never have to pay a $100.

When I made eye contact with a girl she quickly got up and headed my way I wasn't ready. I pertended not to see her and wanted to finish my beer as I watched the sports channel in HD. Before I knew it, she was brushing against me going back and forth while I sat at the bar trying to get my attention I tried my best to Ignore her! Then she started to touch my ears that got my attention I was ready to say Leave me alone, but as I looked up my eyes locked with her hazel eyes I was surprised by her aggressiveness. While I'm looking in her eyes she started to rub my dick in plain view at the bar while other girls watch. I had pop a viagra in the taxi on the way over from my hotel and as she rubbed my dick thru my jeans it started to kick in it was a done deal 70 bucks and of we go to the hotel down the street. I had a good session with her. She had her hair dyed blond dark brown skin and was from the D. Are was 21 years old had a nice slim body with a pretty ass.

Guys becareful about leaving hotel del Rey at night the hotel down the street is close but there are a lot thugs hanging out on the coner of Del Rey.

After I walked the girl back to Del Rey I grabbed me another beer and sat at the slot machines to try my luck It was about 2am and alot less guys with so many women and few men there will be alott of girls chasing you!

Back at the slot machines here comes another hot girl, I'm tired and tryed to give her the cold shoulder but she would not leave! She was a sexy colombian with blond hair and green eyes and nice tight body she spoke good english sounded like selma hyack and that was a turn on. Since she would not leave I ask how much and said $100 no thanks! Now its about 3 am I give my final offer $40 bucks and she says ok! Had good time with her enjoyed sucking her see cup tits and messaging her soft round ass.

Bunda,

I think Semana Santa or Holy Week is why you are seeing lower prices. While many girls will still work through Saturday, starting today, Sunday you might see lower numbers as it is the offical begining of the holiday week.

Anyone with family committments will be spending the week with their family or at the beach with family or friends. Downtown San Jose should be a ghost town by Thursday.

imo, that instead of openly targeting a legal entity(prostitution), the police are using both costa rican laws of it being illegal to "make a profit" off the sexual actions of another as well as employing those who are **** and/or have illegal immigration status to "shake up" the "trade"!

and, as a "side" benefit, "starve" the establishments of their customers and make them go out of business by visably recording any information gathered in the course of the "raid"!(in the case of the hlh, membership cards for that "other" vacation club!).

not a good situation on any level!

First time going to Costa Rica. There for 9 days. Arrived at San Jose airport at 4:30 from LAX Friday. Come out and past all the hawkers and see a taxi and tell him I want to go downtown. Offer 20 bucks, He takes it.

Lots of traffic, takes about 40 mins to get to Santo Tomas Hotel. Unpack take a shower have some dinner at the main plaza restaurant. After dinner catch a taxi to the Del Rey. Taxi wants 3000 colones, offer 2000.

Arrive at Del Rey around 9:00, and I'm just impressed with the quality. Many girls to choose from all different shapes and sizes, some 6s, alot of 7-8s and a few 9s- 10s. Got some brew (imperial) and just girl watched at the bar, impressed. Didn't think it was going to be this good. Walked around to see what was I going to take down. Some girls would come up, I'll grab ass and I'll just enjoy the time they will come and try to market themselves. Some will try to get me to buy them a drink right off the bat, without even introducing themselves. But when it came to that, I'll just say that I'm "out of LECHE' so they could move on. They will laugh, and tell me they will be waiting and move on. Going rate was 100 for an hour. I'll offer 60. No girl was takin it. I even lowered my standards a little, asked some 6-7s with nobody coming thru. I'm Lovin the Tica serving me my brew, super hot. Blondish around 5'6, 18-19 yr old, petite, really cute face, with tight body and sexy legs. After couple drinks, See her passing by again and grab her by the waist "adelitas style", and talk to her. First shes suprised but then you could see shes diggin it, talk to her for a bit. Told her what time she got off. Said 3. Told her if she works "en el negocio". Nodded yes, with a smile. I give her a kiss on the cheek and tell her I'll probably see her later, she said yea. And proceeded with her work as a waitress. I think she was the hottest chica in there at the time.

Proceed to the exit after none of the chicas want to go down on price. On the way out try with a few, just to see if they will come down in price. Grab ass some more, "adelitas style". With nobody coming down in price. Even ran into some hot chica from Mexico, about a 9, forgot her name, was from the D. F, talked for a bit. For sure I thought she was going to come down on price. When I offered 60, said no also. She said that she charged 150. 00, but for me it will be 100, which I laughed and told her that was the regular price. After a bit of grab assing. She Proceeded with. " well buy me a drink at least", in spanish. Told her I was ready to go for 60 if she wanted now. She thought about it, but in the end said no, being nice about it, saying it wasnt enough. Gave her a kiss in the cheek and proceeded to the exit.

Arrive at Key Largo, Lots of girls working, but with less quality. I'll compare it to Chicago club in Tijuana, with a mix of alley girls, with some 8-10s sprinkled in. Walk around and do the same, lookin for someone to take down for the night. Go to the bar in the back, and get a brew. The bartendar girl working there that night is was a 10. Black hair, older 30ish, perfect breasts and ass, legs. Beautiful face. Just gorgeous. I wouldn't mind paying 100 for her. Anyhow I didn't ask her, just because she was really busy and didn't want to hold her up of her duties.. But most likely she was like everyone else in there, Selling. By this time, I almost give up. I see girls dancing by the stage in the middle room. A tica catches my attention. Around 5'8' with heels, black hair, tanned, tight jungle body, pretty face and smile. Wearing tight black shorts with a white top. I proceed to her, and get behind her and let her grind me. She gets into it. I just go with the flow and enjoy it, getting close, and dancing. After a while, I introduce myself. Her name was Nancy, greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. She proceeded with "Eres Mexicano"? I acknowledged and she smiled. I was hoping to pass as Tico for better price, but the girls catch my different spanish. I offered her a drink, after chatting for a bit. We sat down and told her "haber dime como Esta el Negocio". She told me the same thing, that she usually charges 150, but for me 100 crap. After that I just told her " vamonos por 60 dollares" she looked at me with a smile and agreed. I grab her by the waist and proceed to the exit. Caught a taxi for 2500 colones to Santo Tomas hotel.

Arrive at Santo Tomas Hotel. Guy at the desk charges 15. 00 dollars, gets her ID and we go ahead to my room. Offered her some water, she agreed. We talk in the bed for a bit. While I'm caressing her legs. Start undressing her, beautiful natural tits. Gets ontop and I suck on her breasts with her panties on, followed by DFK. I undress and she takes her panties off and starts with the CBJ while I'm massaging her pussy. After awhile I stop her, shes really good. She gets on top, reverse cowgirl. Rides it, long strokes, with alot of finess, with the occasional looking back,. Change to doggystyle, then to missionary. To finish off with cowgirl. She stays ontop, gets my hand and puts it in her heart. Tells me that it was good. I get her off after awhile. We lay in bed. She chats about her life, her daughter,. Shes from San Carlos. She gets me hard again, and proceed to round 2. With her starting cowgirl, then to reverse. To doggystyle. To finishing with missh.

She lays we chat some more. And enjoy each other. Tells me I should of ate her pussy in a Tico way. I didn't understand the way she said it, since Costa Rican Sayings are different than mexican. Me knowing spanish(first language) didn't catch it. And told her what that meant. I forgot the way she said it, but I Knew it was somewhere down there, just not sure which.

Anyhow after a couple hrs, of being there. She calls her friend to give her a ride. She was very nice the whole time, never asked for money either. Till I gave her 60, in the end. I almost forgot. Gave me her number and told me to call her, or come and see her again.

Next day I was off To Jaco Beach

Got back on March 3rd. The first 3 nights were in Del Rey. Like everyone says this is definately a great place to stay. I got in at about 11 at night. Ate a quick burger, smoked a joint, took a shower and was with the most beautiful girl I have ever been with ny life by midnight. Offered $60 for rapidito and we were both more than satisfied. Slept for a few hours then went for round two. This time with a cute Nica. Again $60. The next day I decided to try the massage parlors. I went to New Fantasy and was bery happy with the dark Tica (almost looks black with nice fake tits and a tight body) for $45 for the hour and a $10 tip for BJ with no condom. I also tried Veronicas later that day and most of the girls were Nicas but young and smokin hot. Also $45 for the hour I think but maybe a little less. I pretty much did this for 3 days. I went to a local Pharmacy and bought some viagra to see if it made me even more of a champ (which it did). Pretty much $5 a pill. Not cheap at all but figured why not. Left San Jose for Playa Grande near Tamarindo for 10 days of sun and surf. Not much action in Playa Grande. None actually, but Tamarindo is close by and there is plenty of action at night. Go to the Crazy Monkey til close then to Aqua which is open til 5AM. Met Manuela from Columbia. Such a small tight body with a great tight and big ass. Surprising on a petite girl. She was $100. Which I thought was high but she was fine and we danced for a while and hung out so I guess she earned it. Not much action for the 10 days besides her. Went to Monteverde for a night to go ziplining and take a night tour of the forest, fun times but 0 action. I did meet the most beautiful girl but she wasn't hearing it. She worked at the hotel Cipressas at the desk. I would have emptied my bank acct. For her. Glad she wasn't interested. Back to Playa Grande for 3 more days then off to San Jose for 1 more night a 2 days. I went to a strip club but no strippers were there? I did hook up with a fine Tica for $20. Great deal. Maybe it was le grillon I think. I spent $19 on "the single male travelers handbook" from a different site and definately think was the best thing I could have done. Especially being by myself in the city. Was 40 something pages of nescessary info. I can't wait to go back but I need a wingman and all my friends are broke. Definately new fantasy is my recommended spot for quality and price. Del rey for smokin hot girls. Overall everyone says del rey is the place to stay and I do agree (except most places were less $$) but I only had about 4 or 5 girls from there and all the others were at "strip clubs" or massage parlors or just walking around.

I hope my dick does not fall off.

Enjoyed your report. A couple of suggestions: whenever you take a taxi, insist that the driver turns on the meter. If he refuses, get out. This doesn't apply for trips to/from the airport -- the $20 payment you arranged in advance was fair and reasonable. Also, next time, stay at a hotel that doesn't charge a chica fee.

Loved the report. Some advice about del rey. You can get the chicas for $50 or $60 for 2-3 hours if you are patient. They always all start with $100, 1 hour but as the night drags on they become more flexible. It also depends on the night, if you are there on a night that has a lot of guys who accept the $100 and don't negotiate then you will have a tough time. At that point I suggest you go next door to the dance club across the street. The chicas hop back and forth between the two locations.

[Bunda Man]

finish up night 3 with a sexy 18 year old tica from the del rey. we had been going back and forth between key largo and dr having a good time and scouting the chicas. we hang at the kl bar with a group of dominican girls from puerto plata(i’ve had some great trips there). the girl i‘m feeling from the group, a sexy little morena with a tight body, wearing a white, see-through, mini skirt, doesn’t look happy to be there at all so i pass. i also speak with her sister, darker skin, even shorter, with a unibrow but a fantastic little body, but i also pass as she wants more than i am willing to give her ($100.00 for one pop).

we walk back over to the dr. its about 2:30am but there are still plenty of lookers around. i sit down at the slot machines. a steady flow of chicas walk by and flirt until a cutie sits next me. she says she’s 18 and tica. what a tight body. she’ll go for $80.00 but for $100.00 us will do bbbj, anal and photos. man, i have no objection to that type of upsale. i had a different attitude this trip. i had no problem paying $80-$100 us for a girl who: (a) i believed was worth that much; and (b) seemed like she would be a good time and meet my expectations after speaking with her for a while. wow, i got my money’s worth with this cutie. punany was as tight as a pinhole as was the two-hole. she claimed she was a virgin in the two-hole, oh sure!

4th and last day, sunday march 28. not too many mps open. we walk into relax and happen upon bangbang57, mayor of the low-end mps. there are only 3 chicas in the house, including bbbj, dd queen paola, all of whom are occupied. bang is waiting on one of the girls to free up. we discuss the latest raids. bang says the mansion was raided the day before. i mention that i hadn’t heard of relax getting raided, and with only 3 girls who are occupied, it wouldn’t be worth getting caught up in a raid so we head out. over to illusiones around the corner which is closed. we walk back towards relax and pop next door into eros which has two girls, one of whom is free. bleach blond, nica-looking chica wearing a black silk nightie with her ass checks peeking out, answers the door. she’s cute and for 12,000 colones for a half hour i can’t go wrong. man, she rode me like a champ, front and reverse cowgirl. i get up to take a shower and notice an opening in the wall, behind some bars, which allowed me to look into the other room. oh well, i havn’t come this far as a monger by being afraid of a little voyerism.

spend my last night, where else, dr and kl. meet a panamanian chica in the kl when she asks me for the time. she strikes up a conversation about how she likes my watch. she has all the enthusiasm of a stick-figure so i excuse myself to go in search of my wingmen. find them trying to score three-somes with a gorgeous morena and her darker skinned friend. these chicks aren’t into lesbo so back to the del rey we go. there i spot a cutie with light skin and jet black hair by the slots. she has gorgeous big boobs as well. says she is columbia but has been living in cr for 2 years. i explain to her that my leche is spent from the past couple of days and that we will probably need more than an hour for me to leche. she says no problem, $80.00 us for 2 hours and it’s a done deal. i pretty much needed the full 2 hours. we went at it and every position i could think of. the bed was violently rocking back and forth to the point that i was afraid it was gonna break so i pulled out, tugged off the condom and finished myself on her stomach and melons. pse(porn star experience for my last night), gotta love it.

[Voyajer1]

Well, I've never been to Costa Rica, but had every intention of going pretty soon. However, until the government stop pursuing foreigners in their "Sex raids", I have no other recourse than to put Costa Rica in my "Don't go there" list. If we all stop patronizing these hostile environments, they will (Authorities) have no reason to humiliate or embarrass tourists minding their own business, just trying to get their freak on with a provider. The fact that they are getting records of customers that go to visit certain places tells me that they have every intention of screwing you over. I'll personally avoid Costa Rica at all costs. I don't even want to have a stopover in between flights. They are crapping all over us, so I always reply in kind to that level of hostility: Screw them!!!

If you look at the big picture you will notice that many other countries are affected as well. Brazil is going through a clean up. Medellin just had elections this march and are going through something similar. Tijuana is always flip flopping.

What we do is not a legit sport. Most of us already know this.

The way I see it with the hotel "club vacation" etc blog is the guests are technically involved with the crime if they are participating or benefiting from it. It is not uncommon to read a story about having a bar's staff and clients detained by police. Most times clients aren't involved but they can be just by being there at the wrong time. It seems like they are trying to get this place for pimiping or solicitation. I hate to say it but they have a good case by conservative standards. There is no gringo "armor" is what I am trying to say.

* What I want to know is what are your other options if the del rey and hrh aren't happening ? Is this going on all over san jose or just gringo gulch ?

* What happens if you get caught up in a raid but you have all the necessary paperwork ? Do they just tell you to leave ?

I hate to say it but they have a good case by conservative standards. There is no gringo "armor" is what I am trying to say.IMO, your correct as, almost overnight, the CR government's attitude towards the "good" gringos(the perpetual tourists who for one reason or another, do not qualify for any type of the residency visas but who obey the laws, cause no trouble and whose spending brings in a significant amount of CR's GDI, Gross Domestic Income) have become "Persona Non Grata"!

So how doesn't it figure that the despised "sex tourists", the expoiters of girls/women with their "dirty" money and the perpetuaters of CR's national shame, the sex trade, won't be treated worse by the police!


* What I want to know is what are your other options if the del rey and hrh aren't happening ? Is this going on all over san jose or just gringo gulch ?IMO, the larger bars(p4p/strip), especially the ones affiliated with hotels, by the shear amount of revenue they generate, have some political "clout" and will be the last to go(if the "crack down" extends to that level!). The "soft targets, the smaller p4p bars and the MPs are the most vunerable and, I would imagine, if it happens at all, it will start in SJ and extend countrywide, eventually!


* What happens if you get caught up in a raid but you have all the necessary paperwork ? Do they just tell you to leave ?
From what I have read, yes; but, if the SJ police raided the MP/smaller p4p bar you were sitting in, causing no trouble, just about to choose a SP, wouldn't you be more reluctant to go to that place ever again!(or, for that matter, be reluctant to choose another like sex venue that hasn't been raided YET!)

Simple equation, of the new police strategy, even if the sex trade is not made illegal, partly or in full, outright:

Police raids = patrons become uncomfortable = a reluctance/refusal to patronize = CLOSURE!

I hope I'm wrong!

[Mr Jetsetter]

Mongers what has happened is too many gringos have drove the price of Pu**y sky high and the locals and government officials who used to get the Pu**y for the CR rate which was the same for decades (before the gringos) started paying 100 ++ per nut for 1 hr, Now the gringos are the only ones that can afford it.

Do like I do and trust me (fellow mongers) I have plenty of documented exp paying the Po- Po's / cops off And it always works some easier than others.

I could not disagree more. There are at least a 100 MPs and bars with working girls in San Jose that are rarely frequented by gringos, and the ones that are frequently have a two-tiered pricing structure: one price for ticos, another higher price for gringos. Have you ever actually been to San Jose?

[Tasty1]

Just finished another CR trip.
1. Airport was very busy. Took 30 min to pass thru immigration.
2. Taxi stand (inside) terminal was charging too much. May be safe bet if traveling with family but best to check their rate and then negotiate outside.
3. Exchange booths inside are big rip off. Do not change money there.
4. Departure tax booths, 11 people working in midday and no wait.
5. Stayed at La Amistad. Nice location. Two minute walk from Sportsmen´s. Their bar and restaurant are very nice. They do not charge any guest fee. Rooms are big. However take your own soap. In bathrooms they have smallest soaps and I had to buy one. Front desk is very helpful and personal.
6. Avoid Suzy (she sings Suzy Q song again and again. Short blondish hair, good English, local girl, but total rip-off). Her friend Alexandra (blond, big boobs, fair skin, Tica) is as bad as her. They hang out at DR in evenings.
7. Nothing else has changed. Even on Easter Sunday DR and SL were hopping.
8. If in mood for a romantic restaurant, Drive or take cab to Ram (as in Ramirez, Owner´s name) Luna. Best view in San Jose. Not designed for people on limited budget. One way taxi ride is $20.

Happy Mongering.

[Artisttyp]

Sorry for the tedious questions but I'd like to know :

1. Is there a citibank in san jose and where is it ? Until what time can I exchange dollars at the cambios ? I am arriving on a very early morning flight and will want to get some sleep before doing anything.

2. How much are drinks at the hrh and sportsman etc and are there chica prices for chica drinks ?

Thank you so much. Providing all goes well I will be in san jose tuesday

Mr. Jetsetter has put it very well. Why do you have to swear and curse the CR people? Surely we find it a great place and filled with bargains or we would not be going there. Do you think we are all stupid and you are the only one who knows whats what?

Why are you bashing a third world country that is only copying what is done in your own country? As an example take the airlines. We all know that people on any given flight have paid different amounts sometimes up to double what others have paid. Are we going to curse and rant about it?

Life is not fair so grow up and quit whining.

What is going on in Costa Rica in 2010. Haven't been since 2004.

Is it more expensive-less?

Any new places like the Del Ray.

I'm thinking of going back.

ArtisttypI remember seeing Citibank billboards all over San Jose, so I'm pretty sure there are branches there. The only good place at the airport to exchange money at the prevailing rate is the bank on the arrivals level near where you pay your exit tax, but I don't think they open until 6am. DO NOT use any other currency exchange booth, as they will fleece you big time. If you get there too early for this, don't worry about it, as dollars are readily accepted by taxi drivers and everybody else. I'd offer $20 to the taxista (no more) to take you to your hotel. If you don't want to mess with any banks on your first day after waking up, the ATM at the Del Rey is reliable and fair, costing about $1.50 per withdrawal.

Drinks cost the same for both guys and gals at the Blue Marlin, Key Largo and Sportsmens, and are reasonably priced, more or less. The drinks at the Hotel Little Havana are way more expensive, however, so watch out!

Greetings Everyone,

I recently cleaned up this thread by deleting a number of off-topic and otherwise pointless posts, as well as a number responses made by other forum members to these deleted posts.

This cleanup process is not perfect, and it's possible that I may have inadvertently deleted a few otherwise legitimate posts. If you find that your own report was also deleted, please don't take it personally.

I've stayed at La Amistad before and will stay there again in May. It is right up the block (up the hill) from the SL - very easy walk. It is also not far from HLH and New Fantasy and is close to some decent restaurants. The DR is about a 10 minute walk, easily doable during the day, but take a taxi at night. The owner of La Amistad is a good guy. The prices are reasonable. The rooms are fine. The free breakfast is good. I liked the new bar he opened. I understand they now serve lunch and dinner, but that happened after I last visited. And the hotel is chica-friendly - no fees.

Hey Mike,

I would have preferred to send you a PM on this, but you have to purchase a subscription on the international site for that apparently. I'm a newbie to the international game, but have senior status on the Las Vegas threads for what it's worth. I was curious as to what it's like scoring some smoke in Costa Rica? No one wants any trouble with that, especially in a foreign country, but I hear from some it's a pretty laid back situation over there, others say differently. If it's pretty relaxed, that would make the vacation that much better for me. Don't want to make any waves in the forum, but any broad details on this? Talk to someone at your hotel or walk the beach kind of thing? Any do's and don'ts, I'd appreciate it. Of course don't try and bring anything home. I'm planning an extended trip for the end of the year to break myself into the international game, but like you, all my friends are broke, so I'll be going solo and keep myself better company when I can smoke. Thanks!


Ate a quick burger, smoked a joint, took a shower and was with the most beautiful girl I have ever been with ny life by midnight. I can't wait to go back but I need a wingman and all my friends are broke.

I arrived today and am staying at el castillo. The manger and staff are great and the rooms are decent. They gave me a special price of $60 with a garden room and fridge. Unfortunately I can´t roll like that for too long...

I then went around checking out hotels in the centro. Nuevo johnson was cool and very affordable however in a rather skecthy area. I was qouted $15 for a pretty dumpy room. I just can´t see myself getting into those sheets. I´d fuck on one of the beds but not sleep there. I will if I need too but....

Went around looking at other hotels in a similar price range. Many of them offer shared bathrooms and * windows that aren´t really windows just glass venitian blinds if that makes sense. You can´t close anything because there IS NO window so to say just flaps. Bottom line is you are in a room with no noise protection.

There are hotels with rooms with windows that face inside the hallway but they feel rather warm with stale air.

My conclusion is that of other posters...you either pay to play or you sleaze it in low end rooms.

I like plaze hotel. They seem the best around for the price but they want to charge me $10 a visit.

*** My question is " If I plan on doing low end mps and SW types I probably wont be bringing them to my room anyways...right ?" Im usually an on site guy but for the right price I will do hotel action $50 and under.

*** If you can change a little money at the airport it would serve you well if you dont have another immediate option. I waited until I arrived in town and had to wait an hour at banco costa rica to get change. I would have much rather lost a few dollars at the airport...just something to think about.

A few locals told me that cambios are not a safe option because they try to rip you off. In that case maybe a debit card is a better option than cash. After all the lines for the banks are sick. Besides offering normal banking people use banks to fill out immigration forms pay taxes or all kinds of other shit that takes up time with only two tellers working...sick!

*** What is the deal with the centro and street girls or chica bars ? Ive been walking around this afternoon and I like the feel of the centro (very gritty) but I dont see a "zona". Is there a zona like in medellin or zona norte in TJ and where? Where do the locals go to get laid ?

I cant really say much more. People are friendly but YOU need to make the first move with alot of respect...patience for gringos is at a minimum here. You need to prove yourself worthy of a conversation.

My driver from the airport was really friendly coming in then when I saw him eating at a restaurant he wouldn´t even say hello. Thats how it goes here I guess.

I´m still looking for gringo gultch. I hope I dont fall in it.

I need some help with a hotel selection.

I usually stay at the Irazu Best Western hotel in the past. They have got very tight with bring ladies back to the hotel.

I have also stayed at the Barcelo San Jose Palacio which is near the Irazu but I have never brought a lady back to the hotel when I have stayed there.

I like the area because that is where most of my business companies are.

Does any one know if the Barcelo is GF?

There is also the Courtyard and the Residence Inn in the area. Does anyone know about these?

Please let me know.

artisttypgringo gulch is a large area of downtown san jose. if you are at the del rey or key largo you are in the middle of the gulch. there are a couple of walking blvds (no cars drive along the road) avienda central and calle centro as well as another south of central. down the street from the presidente and balmoral on on av central is a hotel el maragato i have stayed here for years about $45-55 night chica friendly. to get around is easy as the area is a grid. av run east to west and calle (street) run north to south. from av cental going north av are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 sl and new fantasy are on av 11. from av central south av are even 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. 12. from calle centro east is odd and west is even. street signs are on the buildings. there are zones at nights for sw most i have seen are tv or very poor quality or ****. on calle 4 between av 7 and av 9 there is a gray building with number 747 and a pink and purple building next door these are tico places. one block south of dr is the ny bar not exactly tico, price is dependant upon your ability to negotiate. if you pm me i have a map you cab also get it at crt or don gordo that will help you get around. it is out dated but it is a starting point.

I have stayed at the Nuevo Johnson Hotel for years. Used to be about $ 10.00 Last time there - six months ago it had gone to $ 12.00. See Johan the manager - he should let you in for $ 12.00.

I have always found the area perfectly safe...if you are careful.

As an alternative you might check out the Royal Dutch Hotel and Casino about 5 blocks up the street ( 2nd Ave.). Their rooms go for about $ 60-65.00...but sometimes the night manager (a guy....don't bother talking to the girls during the daytime) will let you in for $ 40.00 for cash.

Hello, everyone,

Will be in san jose, Costa Rica end on April. First choice is hotel del rey which seems little pricey.

Is Sleep Inn a good alternative? This hotel in right next to del rey and is more reasonable price. Any problems bringing the girls in? Any info will be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Whatever you do make sure your hotel situation is straightened out before you come down. There is alot of bullshit with the hotels and bringing back chicas.

If you are on a budget of $45/60 I highly recommend hotel el castillo (list section). This is probably one of the very few places in san jose that is affordable and down with the program(minus the dumps).

IMHO forget about all the US bullshit and the american chains. You will most likely get screwed in some way.

I have alot to say but I am on a roll and will report once I gather more info.

* You need to buy a senior membership to get the really good info. If your trip means that much to you pay the $19.95 to jackson.

This post belongs in the "Hotel Recommendations" thread. I strongly advise you learn to use the "Search this Thread" function (top of the page, on the right) and do a little reading and research before jumping in with questions that might have already been answered repeatedly. Not trying to give you a hard time -- I realize the subject of hotels has come up lately in this, the Trip Reports thread. My two cents: why pay rip-off chica fees in places like the Sleep Inn? Stay in monger-friendly places like the Sportsmens Lodge, Hotel Castillo, Dunn Inn, La Amistad, or the Hotel Freebird.

[Lexb]

are, what i like to refer to, as "one hit wonders" in that they come to san jose on "sex trips" in which they spend, usually, a week or less, and very rarely, if at all, leave the "confines" of gringo gulch! many of them look at the mps as "second rate" and don't care or bother with them!

this is for the expats who live in or near san jose(many retired and living on ss and, possibly, a pension!) and, in many case, don't have "money to burn" who rely on the mps to "scratch the itch"! as $60+ plus the cost of a st room would be a financial burden!

as i predicted in my report of april 4th:

"the "soft targets, the smaller p4p bars and the mps are the most vunerable and, i would imagine, if it happens at all, it will start in sj"

and

"simple equation, of the new police strategy, even if the sex trade is not made illegal, partly or in full, outright:

police raids = patrons become uncomfortable = a reluctance/refusal to patronize = closure!

i hope i'm wrong!"

but the following article gives credence to my prediction and the new "anti-sex trade" president doesn't even take office until may 8th!

I will be in SJ 29 April until May 2, probaly be staying at Sportmans Lodge and then I will go to Managua for 1 day hoping to meet up with Meatloaf to discuss the mob round up in NY today 14 gangsters.

Anyone want to join me?I'll be there on 29th noonish, ill prolly be hanging out at SL also, Lots of people around that time specially May 1st from what Ive been reading at CRT.

Thank you for your reply about dongordo.

I am planning a trip to Saint Joseph (SJ) soon.

Can you tell me if there are independent girls in SJ in the range [9,10] like fashion magazine model girls ?

If so, can you meet them at a regular bar in downtown SJ?

I want to calibrate my expectations before going down there. My preference is meeting girls at regular hotel or city bars with any private moment at my place.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks,

Darien,

Yes, there are "model types" in SJO, but if your looking for incredible sexo and a GFE, you may want to adjust your expectations. My experience from years of mongering have been mixed on the "super model" rent-a-date, they make great arm candy, but 9 out of 10 times they are poor performers in la cama. My most memorable experiences have been with the part timer 7-8's that care about their man, aim to please and appreciate the dinero.

Yes, there are several "regular bars" in SJO: El Pueblo, Jazz Club, Castro's, and several in Escazu, but if you don't speak espaniol your chances are flaca e nada and flaca is walking out the door. Best bet is enjoy Key Largo, where every girl is on the program, and of course the Blue Marlin. Look for the girls in the back bar at KL, their are a few part-time puta's who like to hide back there, are super cute and selective on who they leave with. Also, look for the cute shy ones in the BM, they are also part time puta's that will rock your world. Stay away from the english speakers, they are usually hard core and will leave you disappointed.

What I always enjoyed doing is finding an attractive, sweet chica and take her out of the "gulch" for dinner and dancing on Saturday (I call Saturdays my "date night"), they appreciate being treated like a normal girl and will reciprocate with a lot of affection. Ram Luna restaurant in the mountains overlooking the city is very romantic and gets the girls real wet and excited. Afterwards, have them reccomend a dance club and let the games begin.

Enjoy,

I concur. When I was there last time, I had a beautifull colombian girl with nice set of fake boobs. She was huggy,kissy in the bar but once in the room no touching boobs because they hurt, no finguring pussy etc. I kicked her out quickly without giving her any money.
Went back and found a very nice girl from Nicaragua. Not real pretty but with nice natural boobs. she was such a GFE I kept her for the next three days. We went to the same restaurent overlooking the city and local dance clubs, visit to the volcanoes etc. I always rent a car.
But not all colombia girls are bad. I had real good insatiable sex with few of them and took them out on trips also.

Hotel Little Havana, I think they are open 9-9, But I am not sure, I would drop in about 12:00 to 3:00, keeping in mind she might be there but already engaged in a session. Ask the bartender, when you are there and she will let you know.

PeacePamela can be found at HLH. The old Zona Blue. Call over there and ask either Eduardo or Isabella if Pamela is in. She is very popular. For good reason. She is a total sex fiend! If you have problems finding her, I can always reach her for you. I'm close to her "sister". Best of luck.

My time is coming to an end. I cut my nicaragua portion of my trip due to some difficulties and a nasty cold.

I haven't been partying for a few days already but as usual I have some opinions that I would like to share.

Hotels -

El Castillo has been a blessing for me. This is probably one of the coolest hotels I've stayed at. The staff is SUPER cool and the hotel policies are the most liberal than any other hotel I've dealt with. The only reason I would not stay here is if they put me in the two rooms on the lobby floor. There isn't enough circulation in those rooms and there are no windows.

The entire hotel is filled with mongers and I've had alot of fun hanging out with some of the guys. Girls are waiting for you at the hotel bar!

* You must get your hotel siutation straightened out prior to arriving. If you don't you chance taking whatever is left paying a premium or staying in a shithole hotel. There are very few in between options here. Your mongering WILL suffer.

If you stay for a long time chances are some local expats can set you up in an apartment but that takes a little time. I never went to see one but was offered a look by an expat that I befriended.

WEATHER-

I really blew it. I sweat my ass off in central america but san jose is at 3/4 K feet. I had no idea and I packed the wrong clothes. What I really needed is a jeans jacket and some warmer sleeping clothes. The first few days were cold enough to wear a sweatshirt in the morning. Bottom line is I fucked up and thats how I got sick.

Pack like you would for medellin. You can get hit with anything here.

GIRLS

What can I say. I didn't expect much and thats what I got. My favorite spots were the new york bar (half block from del rey) and a few of the MPS. I did find some local haunts as well.

NY BAR-(freelance bar) You can pull chicas out of here for $30 an hour. DO NOT offer more. These are the girls that cant make it at the Del Ray. Some are very drunk or a little bit chopped up but thats what you get here with budget offerings.

MPS- I really liked relax. I went to a few others but there wasnt the greatest talent in them. I could screw just about anything but for $30 a half hour with bbbj I could do better somewhere else. Normal sessions run between 10 to 12 K then add a tip for extras. Alot of times they wont let you slide with extras for less than 5k ($10). I was expecting a san jose gringo hustle so I just went with it. A few times I didnt settle a price before and I gave her the equivelent of $6. I think they are used to getting more.

LOCAL HAUNTS-

If you go to avenida 6 and calle 3 close to the coca cola bus terminal you will see a few places side by side down the street by the corner. They are little dive bars that lead back to rooms and hotels/pensiones with girls standing outside. Pensiones prices are 7k but some of the bar/rooms places were 10k and 12k(for gringos!). Only one in three girls in three different places would do bbbj for a tip. I think these are high traffic girls who earn change no matter what.
I was not cool for being there like in other countries. Some locals were not amused but I did my thing regardless....low end sleaze better than del ray rip offs but not up to par with SA countries.

VIPS and the other bar next door a block from hotel dunn inn/Clarion are good low end late night options for the same prices. Girls vary greatly in looks.

STRIP BARS-

Went to a few dives payed non dive prices for drinks posted on the wall...left very quickly and never returned to the circuit.

As far as girls go thats it. You can find the mp's just by walking around. The other guys can turn you onto them as well. It very easy to get a hang of it after a few days. If you find "relax" you can find eros next door and idem across the street..

FOOD :

Stay away from the gringo trendy joints. These assholes charge more for an entree than in new york city. Hotel Havanna is another rip off joint with NY prices for drinks and $55 half hour sessions. I hate when gringos bring the bullshit with them...it screws it all up.

CR isn't cheap by far. For what I spend here I could do the same in buenos aires cheaper in lima or medellin. I am in no rush to come back but I wanted to see it for myself. If you aren't a bar crawler there is not much to do after 7pm. Central america is depressing compared to SA. San Jose was my last stop in CA. I will continue to go further south.


Thank you to stevewxly and juan carter for helping me out. As always I am available to help people out as well.

I also wanted to mention that the term MP'S is a very misleading term for san jose. These places are straight up chongos/brothels. The only place that even offered a massage was new fantasy. That kept me away from CR for a while.

Good Luck

My time is coming to an end. I cut my nicaragua portion of my trip due to some difficulties and a nasty cold.

I haven't been partying for a few days already but as usual I have some opinions that I would like to share.

Hotels -

El Castillo has been a blessing for me. This is probably one of the coolest hotels I've stayed at. The staff is SUPER cool and the hotel policies are the most liberal than any other hotel I've dealt with. The only reason I would not stay here is if they put me in the two rooms on the lobby floor. There isn't enough circulation in those rooms and there are no windows.

The entire hotel is filled with mongers and I've had alot of fun hanging out with some of the guys. Girls are waiting for you at the hotel bar!

* You must get your hotel siutation straightened out prior to arriving. If you don't you chance taking whatever is left paying a premium or staying in a shithole hotel. There are very few in between options here. Your mongering WILL suffer.

If you stay for a long time chances are some local expats can set you up in an apartment but that takes a little time. I never went to see one but was offered a look by an expat that I befriended.

WEATHER-

I really blew it. I sweat my ass off in central america but san jose is at 3/4 K feet. I had no idea and I packed the wrong clothes. What I really needed is a jeans jacket and some warmer sleeping clothes. The first few days were cold enough to wear a sweatshirt in the morning. Bottom line is I fucked up and thats how I got sick.

Pack like you would for medellin. You can get hit with anything here.

GIRLS

What can I say. I didn't expect much and thats what I got. My favorite spots were the new york bar (half block from del rey) and a few of the MPS. I did find some local haunts as well.

NY BAR-(freelance bar) You can pull chicas out of here for $30 an hour. DO NOT offer more. These are the girls that cant make it at the Del Ray. Some are very drunk or a little bit chopped up but thats what you get here with budget offerings.

MPS- I really liked relax. I went to a few others but there wasnt the greatest talent in them. I could screw just about anything but for $30 a half hour with bbbj I could do better somewhere else. Normal sessions run between 10 to 12 K then add a tip for extras. Alot of times they wont let you slide with extras for less than 5k ($10). I was expecting a san jose gringo hustle so I just went with it. A few times I didnt settle a price before and I gave her the equivelent of $6. I think they are used to getting more.

LOCAL HAUNTS-

If you go to avenida 6 and calle 3 close to the coca cola bus terminal you will see a few places side by side down the street by the corner. They are little dive bars that lead back to rooms and hotels/pensiones with girls standing outside. Pensiones prices are 7k but some of the bar/rooms places were 10k and 12k(for gringos!). Only one in three girls in three different places would do bbbj for a tip. I think these are high traffic girls who earn change no matter what.
I was not cool for being there like in other countries. Some locals were not amused but I did my thing regardless....low end sleaze better than del ray rip offs but not up to par with SA countries.

VIPS and the other bar next door a block from hotel dunn inn/Clarion are good low end late night options for the same prices. Girls vary greatly in looks.

STRIP BARS-

Went to a few dives payed non dive prices for drinks posted on the wall...left very quickly and never returned to the circuit.

As far as girls go thats it. You can find the mp's just by walking around. The other guys can turn you onto them as well. It very easy to get a hang of it after a few days. If you find "relax" you can find eros next door and idem across the street..

FOOD :

Stay away from the gringo trendy joints. These assholes charge more for an entree than in new york city. Hotel Havanna is another rip off joint with NY prices for drinks and $55 half hour sessions. I hate when gringos bring the bullshit with them...it screws it all up.

CR isn't cheap by far. For what I spend here I could do the same in buenos aires cheaper in lima or medellin. I am in no rush to come back but I wanted to see it for myself. If you aren't a bar crawler there is not much to do after 7pm. Central america is depressing compared to SA. San Jose was my last stop in CA. I will continue to go further south.

Thanks for your honest assessment. I also prefer Lima and MDE over SJO. However, a few things. First, all the MPs in the Paseo Colon area are actaully MPs where you can often get very nice massages and GFE (NOT R Y V, but darn nice). Many of those girls will see guys hours, so you can have some cuties for cheaper than what you were paying for the New York bar older gals.

Two, it is a poor assumption that all Del Rey/Key Largo and Sportsman's chicas provide poor service for high rates. With excellent Spanish and good interviewing skills, you can find high quality, GFE, TLN for 100 bucks. That is about what most of my TLNs cost in boh Lima and MDE, although some were certainly less. (for example, a couple of cuties from La Mayorista for 50 buucks TLN). It is true that you have to interview far more for GFE than in other places, and must be prepared to walk away. Certainly not for those don't like the chase.

As you said, the Castillo is a great place in the mid range. GFE is harder to get in SJO than MDE and Lima, but it can be found, for reasonble prices. The problem is that too many guys point and shoot, pay the 100 for the hour, and so it take more time.....

I never went with one myself but the guys I spoke to were not happy. I thought I was having tequila rock flashbacks.

If I had money to burn I would have tried one but my mind is always on my next trip. Knowing I will be someplace else very soon makes you choose wisely.

You are right about deals that can be made. I just wasn't into this scene enough to really put myself out there.

It is a love it or hate it place, as tequila rock has become (I hear, I have not been a couple of years). And it does not suprise me that many people are not happy with their servce-it is NOT a point and shoot kind of place, if you are seeking more than wam bam thank you mam service. I like the club feel- helps with the fantasy, which is a big part of the rush....When I am in CR (was there last Dec) I much prefer the sportsmans as a place to hang but i love a good drunked evening at the DR....

I also want to offer thanks for your reporting. As someone who has experienced Buenos Aires, Lima and Medellin, I can understand your disappointment with San Jose. Heck, I've been to both Buenos Aires and Lima/Miraflores, and I definitely rate them as more attractive mongering locations. They are also definitely more expensive and time-consuming to get to, at least for me, living in Denver. One can get a hell of a lot out of San Jose, once you get to know the ropes. I don't think it is really fair to make any sweeping generalizations about the San Jose scene on the basis of a single trip. I've been lucky enough in my dozen or so trips to spend some time with a handful of very hot ladies who could pass muster anywhere in SA. I've also partied down with a couple dozen more who might not be a 9 or 10 on the ratings scale but were plenty sexy and a blast to be with. A good percentage of these ladies I met at the Sportsmens Lodge, but I've also had great luck in the past at the former Zona Blue, now Hotel Little Havana, and at Kamur, the strip club, and at Bar Idem. Veterans of this board and CRT have also turned me on to "semi-pros" who work rather infrequently and would never be caught dead in an MP or the Del Rey or Sportsmens. I've managed to accumulate some phone numbers of ladies I can hook up with whenever I come down. On my last few trips, I've been spending time with a lady who could easily pass for a fashion model. Yes, you can have a good time here with some very attractive ladies.

And, yes, you might end up spending more than you really wanted to. I don't rate San Jose as a good destination for "budget" mongering. A decent hotel room at monger-friendly places like the Castillo, Sportsmens Lodge, and La Amistad will set you back AT LEAST $60. Artisttyp, I'm not sure what that room without a window cost you at the Castillo, but the rooms there that I like (rooms 20-23) run around $70, if I remember, before the CRT discount. And the nicer restaurants in the San Jose area often seem priced at U.S. levels. As for the ladies, I generally pay between $40 and $70 a session, but I like to session at least twice a day. I ALWAYS end up spending more than planned on my trips.

One final note on the pricing at HLH. One-hour sessions are $46 with a CRT VIP membership card (highly recommended due to the discounts here and at all of the hotels mentioned above.)

Comments about the report of San Jose by Artisttyp: (( See it below ))


Another opinion....or my 2 cents worth.....

I am more or less in agreement with Artisttyp with his assessment of San Jose, Costa Rica.
I read his report and can concur with him on about 98 % of it as being a fairly honest and accurate report......even though he was frank about many things.

I have not been to South America, so I can not comment on any of that....but I have been to Central America plenty of times in the last 6-7 years. I have probably made at least 10-12 or more trips to Panama, Costa Rica & Nicaragua - enough to know (in my opinion) that Nicaragua is really a 3rd world country compared to either Costa Rica or Panama.

And............

I spent 30 days in Quepos one time and 90 days another time in San Jose.....so I know those areas pretty well I believe.

I think a seasoned monger who has been on several trips to other locals - can tell us his opinon of a place...namely San Jose CR with just one good trip there under his belt.

When you have been down the road a bit mongering in whatever location - be it.....Mexico, South America, Central America or the Far East (and I've also been to Asia....spending 6 months there once time) you sort of get a feeling about places.....good or bad or maybe sometimes just mediocre - as I think Artisttyp must think about San Jose..........
After all he has just reported to us - his opinion about visiting San Jose. His report is not written in stone nor has he tried to publish it in any travelers guide - that I know of. It was just his take on the place from being there and comparing it to the other mongering destinations that he has visited.

Artisttyp, a senior member of this forum, has almost 1200 reports to his credit - he surely must have gained some very insightful info to have had made all those reports.

For me personally - I am getting older and may not ever return to Central America - as either I am sort of burned out on being there so much or it's the old age thing catching up with ( I am 65)...but in any case------- I do think a guy can sum up his experiences in a report such as Artisttyp has done about San Jose.....and perhaps we can all learn something and get a better insight about a place when we have read and comprehended such a report.

So Artisttyp thanks for your report on being in San Jose, and all your other input on this forum - as well. I thought you were pretty close with most all of your assessements on the city and the scene there. You may have missed some of the more subtle attritubutes of San Jose because you were only there one time - but for the most part, I thought yor did a good job with your observations ------ I enjoyed reading your rerport on your trip to San Jose , and I will look forward to reading more of your reports in the future.

Thank you for your kind words also mr jet setter. I can see that many guys love it here and I did talk with many regulars who have their own "thing" going on but I didn't mesh with the scene like I do other places.

I did well and I got just a taste of what its about. However I didn't feel the connection I did other places.

I'm not knocking it. I just think CA is not for me.

* I thought I was slick until I joined ISG. At this point I realize I was still wet behind the ears...even growing up in NYC. When I learn is when I listen and read. There are some really sharp mongers out there and here on ISG. Learn how to connect with them and then listen.

I appreciate the help I recieve.

...rushing to an mp...sorry for the major typos.

[Avsmith01]

This place is so sad all the girl are so fake no GFE and too desperate for $100 like they will not eat tonight. One WSW can F*ck better then 30 for them. Please tell me that you guys go there to get away or you have a main girlfriend over there to relax with. If you go there to date multiple girls you might as well beat your d*ck and enjoy.

It appears you think I was denigrating Artisttyp's post and his right to post it and his opinions therein. Quite the contrary. I certainly hope others didn't get a similar impression. Maybe I could have worded things a little better. I have read some of his posts on the Peru and Colombia boards and have enormous respect for the depth and volume of his contributions to ISG. BTW, I also greatly appreciate YOUR contributions to this board. You have provided tons of helpful info to newbies and CR veterans like myself.

What I am about to say does not apply to Artisttyp's CR posts or even your travel resume cited above. I have read virtually every post on every thread of this board over the last 5 years, and I have occasionally encountered the argument that the San Jose scene essentially sucks when compared to other mongering destinations like Rio or Medellin or Buenos Aires or Thailand or the Phillipines. By extension, anybody who thinks CR it is a great place to have a good time is essentially an ignorant rube who hasn't been to these other places and doesn't know any better.

While my travel experiences might pale in comparison with a goodly number of ISG veterans, I HAVE mongered in Amsterdam, Angeles City, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Curacao, Jakarta, Lima, Prague, among other places. Due to political unrest in Thailand, I just recently postponed my planned May trip to LOS (trip # 2) until November. The first thing I did after postponing this trip was to book trip #12 (I think) to CR. Because I have friends there. Because I know the lay of the land. Because I have a blast EVERY time I go there!

My point is simple. If you make the effort and create the proper foundation and treat the ladies with kindness and respect, you can have a great time even in San Jose. And I freely admit that if you do the same in Medellin or Lima, you might even have a better time!

"..............................................................."

No problem. I just was standing up for Artisttyp's right to be somewhat critical of not really liking a place - even though he had only been there one time - like I said in my PM to you ---- when I have a bad meal in a restaurant I don't need to go back to give them more chances to "get me".

I personally like going to San Jose CR....although I have been enough times for "the glitter to have worn off the gold" - for me. Perhaps I need to look to other distant places to go........and see how I like them.

But again - that is just my personal opinion. For others, San Jose is like "heaven on earth", and more power to them - if they truly enjoy being there.


Pura Vida - Good Travels - and most of all Peace ......Amigo !!!!!!

[Darien]

Thank you very much for your recent reply to my post requesting info on quality of chicas and senhoritas in San Jose. Your feedback provides me with enough info to picture the field down there in terms of independent girls, at least, for the first few days. I speak very fluent spanish and no english when I travel in Latinland. I hope to find some fancy looking ladies in the mentioned places. I use my polished spanish to develop a good relationship with the chica before inviting her to anything personal. If I do not get a good feel from her, I move on to meet another one. I will do a little extra research before the trip. I am a discrete traveler an prefer renting short term apartments than hotels. Hope to find some in downtown SJ.

Regards,

Darien

Gotta love the members who just drop-in to stir things up! LOL

Dude.....You have got to be kidding me.

[Artisttyp]

I just got back to nyc today...newark to be exact. The cabs now charge you a $1 per bag that you put in the cab and $11 dollars in tolls added to a $55 dollar cab ride. Total was $68. Add the other taxis airport tax hotel daily expenses etc. and I blew a few thousand on this two week trip to bang chopped meat.

Going somewhere is one thing but investing all this money needs to produce a positive result or else you lose out big time.


My point is you need to ask yourself is this trip worth the few grand you spend. I think not. I did not leave with any amazing memories. I also never got laid on my last day...yesterday. I just wasn't turned on enough to go through the effort. I've never left a country without a final nut. This was my first time.

The del ray was loaded with good looking girls but at a hefty price and the potential for a lame session. Bargin offerings were very lame compared to other countries.

Not to mention some of the ticos love to ream you with prices for anything.
I was quoted $71 for a baseball hat at a skate shop. They gave me a discount with the dollar pegged at 520 C per $1 for the bargin price of $63. I told them they were smoking crack.

A dinner at rosti pollo (like a dennys) was $16 : Soup drink and 3 empanadas.


A one liter bottle of water was 1500k $3. New York is way cheaper.

San Jose is a weird place
Prices were out of control for such a country.

Hello,

Can someone tell me if famous Pamela and her sister are still working at Hotel Little Havana?

And what is the rate now for one hour?

Half hour?

[Darien]

I am planning on visiting SJ soon.

In the venues that you just visited, did you see pretty girls like those in the Bloomingdale's and Macys catalogs?

What was the asking gift for private time in that case?

Thank you,

Darien

[Mr Jetsetter]

As I stated in an earlier post, I don't think San Jose is a good destination for mongers on a budget. I generally spend more than planned on my trips. Nonetheless, I have friends who refuse to pay more than 30,000 colones and still manage to consistently pull some of the hottest ladies from the Del Rey. The same generally goes for the Sportsmens Lodge. It is currently a buyers market. Bashers of Bar Idem like to complain how expensive it is, but you can still session there for 31,000 colones, and I have run into some FINE ladies there. With a CRT membership, sessions at HLH are just $46.00. You can get laid at Krysis and Relax for $30-40. And for $16 you can eat a damn good chicken dinner with beer and tip included at Cafe Mundo, one hell of a good restaurant right near the Sportsmens Lodge. $16 will also buy you 3 good meals at some of the good tico restaurants (not the fast-food dumps). And if you take the time to go to the grocery store, liters of water run around 500 colones, and a bottle of Pilsen beer even less.

Really, the one major pricing complaint I have is with the cost of lodging. I now stay at a damn nice place I really like for the great price of $34 a night. The room comes with AC, mini fridge, cable TV, a great bed, and is QUIET! There is but one issue: the room is on floor #3, and the clean, modern bath (two of them, actually) is on floor #1! But I don't care!

[LatinaLover#1]

I just got back to NYC today. Newark to be exact. The cabs now charge you a $1 per bag that you put in the cab and $11 dollars in tolls added to a $55 dollar cab ride. Total was $68. Add the other taxis airport tax hotel daily expenses etc. And I blew a few thousand on this two week trip to bang chopped meat.

Going somewhere is one thing but investing all this money needs to produce a positive result or else you lose out big time.

My point is you need to ask yourself is this trip worth the few grand you spend. I think not. I did not leave with any amazing memories. I also never got laid on my last day. Yesterday. I just wasn't turned on enough to go through the effort. I've never left a country without a final nut. This was my first time.

The del ray was loaded with good looking girls but at a hefty price and the potential for a lame session. Bargin offerings were very lame compared to other countries.

Not to mention some of the ticos love to ream you with prices for anything.

Prices were out of control for such a country.This topic comes up every so often on all the boards. I have been traveling to CR for 18 years. I was in a serious relationship with one Tica for 8 of those years. I have been to Peru 5 times and Rio 9 times so I believe I have a feel for the hobby. First, in most of Latin American countries there are two prices, the Gringo price and the real price. Second, if your frame of refrence is limited to the Gulch, it is not the real CR. The Del Rey has been polluted by traveling hard core *****s from other countries who engage in price fixing and collusion, so be prepared. You can get some really hot Ticas if you venture out into the country and for 10 or 15000 c. I had some great looking girls in Peru, with no limits and had impromptu orgys with 3 girls who fucked us all all night for $100. Some great stuff. Brasil however, offers in my opinion, some of the best odds for a great session. More often then not the girl seems to enjoy it more then me. Half the time the girl asks for anal, she wants it. Have to love Brasil. Copa has many things going for it. You have the worlds number one beach within walking distance, the hottest women in the world and very affordable. Tons of reasonable hotels and apartments. Great restaurants all within blocks. The only thing that keeps me from visiting Rio more often is the long flight. When I get a chance to act up in san Jose, I call a favorita. I know what I'm going to get and the service is more boyfriend sex. Fishing the Del Rey is very risky. You can be the sharpest guy on the block, conduct a great interview, in Spanish and still get fooled when you get to the room. Thats why the exchange of information on this board is so impportant. It can steer you fellow members to the ladies who care about good service and help expose the rip offs. Pura Vida!

Like I said the Del Rey had some very pretty girls walking around. " Up to You" when it comes to pricing. $100 is the norm asking price but they slip and slide depending on time of day mood swings desperation etc. How low can you go ? I've been told $40 on a really bad afternoon (sun) but my instinct tells me $50 for a short session and thats with perfect timing.

Alot of these girls will hold out for the big one.

Would you like to share that information with us ? Obviously no guest fees either ?

[Soft Bob]

Artisttyp, sorry you did not get value for your money in CR. I think Mr. Jetsetter has explained it quite well. You need to know a bit about the place to find what you want at the prices you want to pay without compromising on quality. Many girls asking for $100 at DR could also be working at MPs outside the gulch for as little as $20.

What I find is that CR is unique. You have the girls who are all independent so they ask for whatever the traffic will bear. The MPs have fixed prices so here at least you can decide if it is worth it.

In other countries the girls are usually not independent and so it is easier to get what you want. The girls are paying a lot of money to the bar they operate in.

The DR is so well known in CR that any tourist knows he can get a girl there and so they just pay the $100 and consider it a bargain. This is not a place for a monger on a budget to be looking for his women. It is for the stupid touristas who just want a quick one and find $100 well worth the experience.

The hotels too right in the gulch tend to overcharge.

[Alemaker]

Hello,

Can someone tell me if famous Pamela and her sister are still working at Hotel Little Havana?

And what is the rate now for one hour?

Half hour?Yes, Pamela can be found at HLH. She usually arrives around noon. Her "sister" Laura/Laurena has moved on to other endevours.

Price at HLH is 30K colones. $25 US if you stay in one of their suites. A good deal either way.

Ale

[Artisttyp]

Very true. I saw it with my own eyes. That tends to be the case almost anywhere you go...uptown downtown......all around town.

[Alemaker]

Would you like to share that information with us ? Obviously no guest fees either ?I believe the gentleman is refering to Hotel Freebird. Located at Calle 11/Ave 2. Five rooms that share two bathrooms for $34/nt. And two larger rooms with their own bathrooms for $72/nt.

No problem with chica fees. I have had four girls in my room at the same time.
Dennis the owner is a great guy with plenty of connections. A good person to know.
Atmosphere at Freebird is more like a college dorm than a hotel. Always someone to hit the clubs with.

Great place if you're traveling solo.

Salud,

Hey Mike,

I would have preferred to send you a PM on this, but you have to purchase a subscription on the international site for that apparently. I'm a newbie to the international game, but have senior status on the Las Vegas threads for what it's worth. I was curious as to what it's like scoring some smoke in Costa Rica? No one wants any trouble with that, especially in a foreign country, but I hear from some it's a pretty laid back situation over there, others say differently. If it's pretty relaxed, that would make the vacation that much better for me. Don't want to make any waves in the forum, but any broad details on this? Talk to someone at your hotel or walk the beach kind of thing? Any do's and don'ts, I'd appreciate it. Of course don't try and bring anything home. I'm planning an extended trip for the end of the year to break myself into the international game, but like you, all my friends are broke, so I'll be going solo and keep myself better company when I can smoke. Thanks!Thought I'd weigh in on this. If you are in Jaco, simply walking on the beach, near the guys who rent surfboards, you will definitely be asked. In San Jose, I had good luck by talking to the girls at either SL or DR. It will be either Jamaican or Mexican with seeds. You will be told it is a half oz. For 50k colones. It will actually be about 4 to 6 grams. I usually offer 20k at the beach. Never been denied. With the girls though, you can expect to pay more. They will either want some to take home or a propina for making the deal happen. If they like to smoke, it can make for a great party! Do's and don'ts. Don't ask anyone on the street or in front of the DR.

Hope this helps.

Happy 420,

Ale

My experience was, generally I could get the chicas that were 7-8 in looks down to $60-75 for Short Time in the Del Rey without much difficulty, and rarely, 50 or 55 equivalent in colones. But that was 5 years ago, and in those days, the CRT rate for Zona Blue was $40 (now known as Little Havana). I hear it's much more now. I've not been back to Costa Rica since I broadened my horizons. I think that the DR and Peru and Colombia are all better deals.

[Mr Jetsetter]

would you like to share that information with us ? obviously no guest fees either ?

yes, i am referring to the hotel freebird. no guest fee for one lady guest, supposedly $12 for the second lady if you show up with two. dennis, the owner, is a great guy and a very accomplished monger, and i'm not even sure he would enforce this, if he happened to be around. the main thing is to be quiet and considerate of fellow guests.

the freebird consists of two ground-floor suites with their own bathrooms, and five other rooms on three floors that share two large, very clean 1st-floor bathrooms with great showers. the two rooms on the top floor (floor 3) have ac. ac is not really needed in the other rooms. i love this place, even though the long walk to the bano can get tiresome from time to time. dennis even supplies robes and slippers for your lady guests (bring a robe for yourself), and i've never had a lady friend complain about this setup. with a magic jack setup, calls to the u.s. are free! all rooms come with high-speed wireless as well.

sorry to repeat some of the info ale just provided!

[Mr Jetsetter]

I believe the half hour is $55. Out of control IMHO.

I've probably sessioned at Zona Blue/HLH on at least 50 occasions, and I have never actually inquired about a 1/2 hour rate, always opting for the hour. Unless things have changed in the last few weeks, the rate for one hour is $46 with CRT card and $52 without. I don't think your figure is accurate.

$46 for an hour would have been reasonable but was not the case. I met two guys from my hotel that went there and talked to me about it afterwards. They both qouted me $55 for 30 minutes.

I walked in havana for two seconds and ran when I found out the drink prices.

...I'm exhausted...still dealing with a nasty cold.

[The Dirty Pirate]

it's 30,000 colones for 1 hour which is about $55 - 57

If you guys paid that and got 30 minutes that's just a bad chica experience.

[Ykg3000]

Hey fellas. I'm heading down to SJ this week for some R&R. Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful information in this thread. If anyone is going to be in SJ during from 5/6 to 5/11, send me a PM. I can be a pretty good wingman if needed.

[Ykg3000]

Hey guys,

I almost forgot. I plan on visiting Limon CR for the experience. How is the mongering scene there? Also are there any beaches in Limon to relax at? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[NightWhaler]

Hey guys,

I almost forgot. I plan on visiting Limon CR for the experience. How is the mongering scene there? Also are there any beaches in Limon to relax at? Any help is greatly appreciated.

ThanksNot much to do in Limon. About a 4 hour bus ride the place is only few square blocks of mostly very local folks and shops. This area is very neglected. The place shuts down right after dark and there's only 1 disco to speak of and no mongering. I went there to meet a girl I've played with who is from there and works the Del Rey. They tell me there are some good beaches up and down the coast a bit but I did not go and there is no beach in Limon outright. Also can be a little scary for the non-adventurer at night. This is a very sparse area and real country. It caters to a cruise ship once or twice a week also. Only 1 or 2 decent hotels. I went to the one across the street from the gym, can't remeber the name though and paid $70.00 for the night. This also is the point of entry for all shipping containers coming in and out. In my opinion make it a day trip and if you get lucky hang out at your descretion. There were a few chicas walking around, but not much that I saw.

[The Dirty Pirate]

ThanksNo, you won't find any mongering like Jaco would offer for somewhere on the beach. Limon the city is dangerous I hope you're heading elsewhere in the Provence. If you know espanol you can always talk to girls at discos. Johnny's Place in Puerto Viejo usually has a bunch of girls there dancing but they aren't putas.

I live in Costa Rica and am an active monger. If you haven't been here you have no idea of how good it can be. If you would like to enjoy the vacation of your life I can show and tell you how. The country is reasonably safe, I was a cop for 25 years in the states, there are places in every big US city that are as dangerous as San Jose. There are thousands of beautiful women available with prices for every budget. Airfares to Costa Rica are cheap compared to other locals. There are many other options available to you when not chasing women, fishing, whitewater rafting, zip lines, ATV tours, surfing, beautiful countryside etc. Great hotels are available at reasonable prices. The dining experieces available will blow your mind if you know where to go. PM me if you have any questions about how to enjoy San Jose and have the vacation of your life.

[Colombia Lover]

I was in SJO last week and had a good time, my third time in the city. I met Pops and can attest to his knowledge of SJO. He took me around to see the city and then to see the "other" sights at night. He's a good guy - very helpful and well worth a few bucks. I like SJO. The mongering is a bit more expensive than, say, Medellin, but I feel a safer in SJO (although I must say I don't feel "unsafe" in Medellin, my favorite place) and you are more likely to find people who speak English and fellow gringos. The P4P are also easy to find, since they hang out in a few places like DR and SL. As Pops said, SJO is also a place that's easy to get to from most places in the U.S. and relatively inexpensive compared to flying to other places. If you haven't gone, you should at least give it a try. I found some very pretty and sweet women - CRs, Nicos, and Colombians.

The google maps will only show you the MP locations if you know their names.
If you do not then try going to a site called 'Costaricablush" and search for maps showing MP and bars with girls.

[Mr Jetsetter]

I walked in havana for two seconds and ran when I found out the drink prices.

...I'm exhausted...still dealing with a nasty cold.Just got back from CR. Only sessioned at HLH once, receiving a toe-curling BBBJ/CIM from the famous/infamous Karen. She is still too heavy for my taste but is slowly losing some weight. Let's wish her luck, she is a DAMN nice lady who could regain her major-league fox status by losing another 15 lbs.

The current price for 1 HOUR at HLH is still $46 or 25,000 colones WITH CRT card ($55 without). At the exchange rate in effect when I was there, it was cheaper to pay with dollars. Yes, the drink pices there are a ripoff and totally self-defeating. For anyone planning to stay more than a day or two at the SL, Amistad, Castillo, Dunn Inn, or Hotel Freebird, CRT VIP membership is an absolute no-brainer. It even gets you 10% off food and drink at some of these establishments, and qualifies you for a bevy of other discounts as well. Membership also grants access to an EXCELLENT monger map.

Artisttyp, me thinks those dudes you met at your hotel were a little confused...

[Pops1]

The real value to Hotel Little Havana are the rooms in the hotel. Fantastic, though not cheap rooms, with discounts for CRT members and no room charge for taking girls from the bar to your room. The $45 aprox. Per hour becomes $25 per hour if you have a room there. Three girls in one day equals $60 on the room cost.

So people stay there as a lodging option ? If you do then the amount of the room cost is deducted from the chica session ? A chica will only ask you for $25 to session with her for the hour ?

[Lex460]

Hello all,

This is my first time planning a trip to Costa Rica. I've read through the postings and had a question when it came to prices for entertainment.

I'm assuming a DR $100 ($60-$80 negotiated) would get you an hour?

How much would overnight relatively cost you in DR and bars near and around the hotel?

Is overnight worth it? GFE? and would an entire day be possible if the provider is worth it?

Thx,

Lex

[Mr Jetsetter]

I didnt want to insult anyones intelligence about staying at major chain hotels, I thought it went without saying ? But appearently not for some people. Of course a 5 star hotel No less than a 4 star hotel ever anywhere.

Please let us know where you stayed. It is quite common for "high-end" hotels in the San Jose area to either not allow female guests unless they are registered or to charge exorbitant "chica fees." BTW, the Sportsmens Lodge is not a "major chain" hotel (thank god), and I'd much rather stay there than any major chain hotel n San Jose. They offer room choices that run the gamut from average to luxurious, with lots of women conveniently hanging out in the bar area. Hotel M is another great option from what I hear.
To each his own...

[Norman Stormin]

NY BAR-(freelance bar) You can pull chicas out of here for $30 an hour. DO NOT offer more. These are the girls that cant make it at the Del Ray. Some are very drunk or a little bit chopped up but thats what you get here with budget offerings.

MPS- I really liked relax. I went to a few others but there wasnt the greatest talent in them. I could screw just about anything but for $30 a half hour with bbbj I could do better somewhere else. Normal sessions run between 10 to 12 K then add a tip for extras. Alot of times they wont let you slide with extras for less than 5k ($10). I was expecting a san jose gringo hustle so I just went with it. A few times I didnt settle a price before and I gave her the equivelent of $6. I think they are used to getting more.

LOCAL HAUNTS-

If you go to avenida 6 and calle 3 close to the coca cola bus terminal you will see a few places side by side down the street by the corner. They are little dive bars that lead back to rooms and hotels/pensiones with girls standing outside. Pensiones prices are 7k but some of the bar/rooms places were 10k and 12k(for gringos!). Only one in three girls in three different places would do bbbj for a tip. I think these are high traffic girls who earn change no matter what.
I was not cool for being there like in other countries. Some locals were not amused but I did my thing regardless....low end sleaze better than del ray rip offs but not up to par with SA countries.

VIPS and the other bar next door a block from hotel dunn inn/Clarion are good low end late night options for the same prices. Girls vary greatly in looks.

STRIP BARS-

Went to a few dives payed non dive prices for drinks posted on the wall...left very quickly and never returned to the circuit.

As far as girls go thats it. You can find the mp's just by walking around. The other guys can turn you onto them as well. It very easy to get a hang of it after a few days. If you find "relax" you can find eros next door and idem across the street..

FOOD :

Stay away from the gringo trendy joints. These assholes charge more for an entree than in new york city. Hotel Havanna is another rip off joint with NY prices for drinks and $55 half hour sessions. I hate when gringos bring the bullshit with them...it screws it all up.

CR isn't cheap by far. For what I spend here I could do the same in buenos aires cheaper in lima or medellin. I am in no rush to come back but I wanted to see it for myself. If you aren't a bar crawler there is not much to do after 7pm. Central america is depressing compared to SA. San Jose was my last stop in CA. I will continue to go further south.

I just concluded a 30 day stay in San Jose. I concur with most of your observations. My first trip here left me very disappointed and I did not return for years. I've been coming here off and on (more off than on) for 20 years. I'm increasing both the frequency and legnth of stay in recent years because of convenient air connections and my love of the San Jose climate. Each trip adds to my knowledge and expertise.

Compared to other South American destinations, cost here is higher and quality is lower. I am learning to adapt to the enviornment and temper my expectations. In the process, each trip becomes more rewarding. Part of the experience is meeting many local and itinerant mongers. It would be a pleasure to meet you if you consider a second chance visit.

My security staff and I returned from CR a few days ago before the thread
(current/general reports was added again), Here's some advice if you can afford to stay at a major chain hotel as I do not these mom and pops or rip off joints you wont have any problems or additional charges if you are so inclined to bring women in and out of your suite ( my favorite) or your room.

The personalized, knowledgeable service that Bill (as an ex-pat former punter who found the Tica of his dreams and settled down in SJ) can and does provide at Sportsmen's Lodge transcends the traditional star ratings of chain hotels. I'd stay at Sportsmens before I'd stay anywhere else in San Jose. If I were on a tight budget, I'd stay in one of their low cost rooms, if I were looking to splurge, I'd stay in one of their top Jacuzzi suites. Star ratings go out the window when it comes to this little hobby of ours - It's much more important to patronize an establishment that properly caters to our particular needs, rather than discouraging them - and Sportsmen's Lodge does exactly that.

[Stevewxly]

You want to talk about what wifes know and dont know about their husbands.

Does you employer know about you and your sordid affairs in CR ?

........

Hey......matter of fact the boss took a couple of the other salesmen and myself on an all expense paid trip for 8 days to Costa Rica last December - during our slow time here at SOS.

We are all divorced guys with grown children....including the boss----so who cares.

We had a great time, and it was one of my best trips yet to Central America in the last 9 years.

I have been in lots of different hotels in Costa Rica, and I can highly recommend the operation that Bill runs at the Sportsman's Lodge in San Jose.

He goes out of his way to make everyone there....employees, locals, and guests to feel right at home. It is perhaps one of the best places for mongers to headquarter while visiting Costa Rica.

[TomJackin]

I went to CR on March 28th and stayed through holy week. Bad move on my part, but I still enjoyed the trip. I have an old navy buddy that lives there, which gave me another reason to go there. I stayed 5 nights at SL and I really liked the feel of that place, small, but cozy with women available throughout the day and night. I had the Del Ray room, which was roomy with a outside porch to boot. But only a view of a fucken wall.

The first night I got in late, plus it was Sunday, not the best night for mongering. There was one girl at the SL bar that came over, but she wanted 100 bucks for one hour. And would not come down in price. I was tired anyway, so it was not hard to decline.

The next day my buddy took me to see a volcano. A big hole with smoke, but it was a decent experience. That night, I meet two Nicas (Ana & Lucy) at the SL bar and they both wanted 100 bucks for an hour, and at this point, I'm thinking about taking the next flight to Thailand. WTF? Anyhow, they settled for 60 each and a tip if they performed really well. Ana was really sweet, but was more mechanical with her moves and positions. Juicy Lucy was already half drunk and did not care what I wanted to do with her. It was all available. Ana left, but JL stayed for a while because she wanted to play more. Which was fine with me.

Lucy left about midnight and I walked out to the bar to get another drink and on the other side of the bar was Karen and Jessie. They asked me if I wanted to go dancing at Key Largo. Being three sheets to the wind, I said let's go! Key Largo was a decent scene and we did our share of dancing. Then the girls asked me, "Why were you with two Nicas, and not us Ticas? " I really had no answer, so I bought more drinks and that seemed to keep them quiet.

The next day came early because I went to the Pacuare River for whitewater rafting. On a hangover! After a couple of dips and water on the face, I was awake once again. Great trip by the way! That night, I met Karen and Jessie, and Karen talked about this BBQ place and how the food and drinks were the best in the freaken world. So off we went. It was like a cowboy place for steaks and ribs at a dead-end road. Food was good, but nothing to return to, unless I lived there of course.

That night I decided not to have both in the room at a time, but because Karen was headed to the beach the next day, I figured Karen tonight and Jessie tomorrow night. Karen was quite passionate in the rack, but I forgot to negotiate a price before the action. Bad mistake. She wanted 100 bucks! I said WTF, I paid for your food and drinks for two fucking nights and you still want 100 bucks? She settled for 80.

The next night was my best, I spent it with Jessie. We meet at SL on Wednesday night, before the police shut all the bars down. We went to eat at Hotel Amistad. This was the second time I ate there. Really good food! After dinner she said she was cold, so I figured shots would warm her up. And I was correct! We had a great time thereafter and between her and the rafting trip, that's what made my trip memorable.

I did get a chance to go to the DR, not big on the scene, all the women grabbing my crotch like it was an ATM. But I can understand why others like the place.

Final thoughts: I really like the vibe at SL and thought the women were hot. I did not get a chance to visit the MPs because of the day tourist trips and spending time with my buddy and his wife. I wish I had more time to check out Havana, NF, and some of the others. But after saying that, these girls are asking way too much money for an hourly rate. I read though many reports how "Joe Stud" got 5 hours with two hot Ticas for 50 bucks. Bullshit!

I'm not sure if I will ever return to CR for a few reasons: One, I can get to Tijuana within 30 minutes. Two, I have too many other places I want to explore, such as places in South America and Europe. Three, San Jose is dangerous! I feel comfortable walking around Tijuana at midnight, but even the ladies told me to take a cab at night because they were robbed. If I was in the security business, such as barb and razor wire, I could make a small fortune in San Jose!

Either way, I was a good trip and I made more memories to share with my grandchildren, if I ever have any!

[Stevewxly]

Sorry Steve I was rushing trying to post tonight before I have to leave for work, I'm glad to hear that you had a great tripbest one in 9 years last Dec.

You need to get to Managua more often, Its much less expensive and about the same grade hoes C. F.

I have been to Managua several times....last time I tried unsuccessfuly to rent an apartment there for 30 to 60 days....nothing doing....either they were dumps or they were way out of town, or they were too expensive for my budget....anyway I left Managua after being there for 3-4 days (that trip) and rode the Tica Bus to San Jose....have done that a number of times too.

My thoughts on Managua & Nicaragua......it is pretty much a real 3rd world country there....not as good as CR or Panama...except the women are basically the same but cheaper in Nicaragua...but I probably will not be going back to Nica Land.

[TomJackin]

I guess you did not read the post correctly. I did not say CR was dangerous, I stated that San Jose was dangerous. When the locals are afraid to walk at night, that is a sure sign of danger. There is a reason why there is barb and razor wire on many of the buildings. I rode in my buddy's car while traveling to restaurants and my buddy would not let me roll down the window while driving in certain areas.

BTW, I do not have a partner, nor need one. I do not plan to travel Nicaragua, and stopped traveling to Brazil because of the increasing cost and street crime.


Tomjackin,

CR is no more dangerous than Nicaragua or other CA and some SA destinations, I emailed your partner Agent Darien in the Nicaragua thread.

[Dlhead01]

My rules:

1 Go for the chica that is attracted (or seems to be attracted) to you and not you solely to her.

2 If the vibe feels wrong walk away or just pass it up.

3 DO NOT pass it up then go back to it, you lose your ability to negotiate (price & service)

4Always be polite & courteous displays of dissatisfaction at the price should seem sincere but is merely part of the negotiations.

Thursday, before the fiasco at the bus station we went to lunch then over to New Fantasy. All the times in the past my experiences have been good. This time was not the case; first I broke my rule no. 1. Went with a tall thin brunette with long sexy legs. First a real massage which was actually quite good, then the up selling starts. She wanted an extra $40 (20,000 CRC) for a CBJ. I firmly and clearly said no. Then she dropped the price to $20 (10,000 CRC) and I again said no. Then she goes on and on about we cannot just f*&$K without the bj. I was ready to take care of business and did not need the bj. She slipped on the jimmy hat and proceeded with cbj anyway. Did doggie then mission style at which time the clock started ticking. Did not finish as only paid for ½ hour because had a bus to catch. Last time I was here in 2008 I had Karen which was great. She asked for an extra $10 (5,000 CRC) for bbbj, because I could not get a release, which I gladly paid. I asked about her after the ordeal but know one knew of her. Did not go back to New Fantasy this trip.

After returning from Jaco on Friday, I had to show my buddy the HDR and KL. He comes from a country were the P4P trade is prosecuted to a greater extent and more severely than in the United States (If you can believe it). Needless to say this blew his mind. After hanging out for a while I notice that something was lacking: Nicas. All of these Colombianas kept telling me that they are Ticas and the Dominicanas are saying they are Colombianas from Cali. My first buddy (friend A) picked up a chica that spoke perfect English and he was able to arrange TLN for $80. Too bad he had a room w/o A/C. Friend B and head again this time to HLH. Pamela was there but I was more interested in a thin little Asian looking chica. We decide to leave and check out Krysis nothing interesting then on to Molina Rojo. Friend B took a brown skinned chica in back for ½ hour $22 (11,000 CRC). I was going to jump on a skinny sandy-blonde but was told by several Ticos that “ella es loca en la cabeza” so I left it alone. Saw another blonde nice solid muscular body but got beat out by a Tico. Went to VIPS had a slender Nica long black hair olive skin, bbbj deep throat followed by doggie and nice wide open access mission no restrictions. Encanta mi Nicas (Love my Nicas)

Saturday, (had to baby sit friend A on a city tour of San Jose and a couple of museum visits and his exploits to attempt to pick up on a couple of tourist chicks, an Asian from Canada and a woman from Mexico. The Asian was very nice. Later proceeded SL had dinner, saw some nice offerings onsite but did not partake. Went to Idem it was closed, tried Relax across the street; I do not know why but I never like the chicas here and I have gone in here about fifteen times mostly waiting on Friend B. Checked out Club Monaco there was only one Fat chica working. Went back to HDR and KL, after several hours of taking in the sights and some chit chat with several chicas I found three Dominicanas at KL. What caught my attention is that the fair complected blonde looked just like my wife with smaller chest and more junk in the trunk. Friend B likes his chicas a little more on the dark side so he went with Ruth. Friend A did not like the third chica and passed on her. After about twenty minutes of negotiating we settle on $70 (35,000 CRC) for two hours. Friend B and I share a room at the hotel this way we get to trade chicas or double up. I definitely got the better of the two as far as enthusiasm and energy. Great deep throat BJ, several different versions of cowgirl, doggie and the mission. Very good experience I gave her $90. My friend on the other hand had to coax his chica into the bj and only really got it good when he put her knees in her chest and hammered in mission. Also this chica set her cell phone to alarm every 15 minutes. He broke my rule no. 1 and it showed. I also lost time with my chica since his wanted to leave early.

Sunday, friend B is leaving in a few hours so we start the hunt at a Tico place can not remember the name it is on Avienda 9 between Calle 7 and 9 on the north side of the street. Quoted 10,000 CRC ½ hr & 15,000 CRC 1 hr I liked the Tica Blanca but my friend wanted to check out HLH. Pamela was there again, I was going to take her but got beat out by another monger. Friend B was going to take a chica at the end of the bar then Michelle came in. HOT!! thin caramel complexion black curly hair and tight body. Pointed her out to my friend. He finally followed my rules and scored big time. After dropping him at the bus station I went back to HLH for Michelle, Very good experience. Good bbbj, cowgirl, doggie, spoon and knees in chest mission nice deep and hard. Gave her ext 10,000 CRC (5 from my friend and 5 from me). Had dinner at SL with Friend A then headed over to HDR and KL. Friend A hooks up with same chica from Friday. Had TLN for $30. I violated ALL of my rules. I mistakenly passed on a skinny little sandy-blonde with an Asian look. She was drunk off her AZZ (made me a bit nervous remembering high school days.) passed on another tall slender sandy-blonde who just would not come down on her price. I lost out on a thick brunette while chatting with the second blonde. Passed on three Colombianas. After going back and forth a thick Tica I took her back to the hotel because my friend’s Ticas said they were friends and that she is cool. NOT EVEN!!!! Lousy cbj, just licked the head did not take it in her mouth. Did her doggie for about 15 minutes then over for mission. Hands in the way, legs constantly moving and hips moving out of the way. Could not get a solid pounding. Then she told me I had 4 minutes and accused me of taking pills to last longer. After some argument I took off the condom lubed her butt and did her Italian until the final moment, held her down by the shoulders plugged her butt and released on the second stroke. Overall it was not bad but was not good. I will definitely avoid her if I see her again. Sorry I do not remember her name.

Had a 7 am flight so let her go at 4am showered and headed for the airport at 4:30 am. I detail other aspects of this trip in there appropriate threads.

Some parts of San Jose are dangerous, others not. Been there a dozen or so times, and I've never had any problems, and I do a hell of a lot of walking, even at night. I have also consistently encountered locals walking around at night. I think you are overstating things. Yes, watch your back, take the necessary precautions, learn something about the dicey areas, take a cab at night, and you should be alright. It is not such a dangerous city that people ought to be afraid to visit. Having said all this, I have heard of people getting mugged during the brief stroll from the Del Rey to the Presidente or Morazon.

[Phase6]

I did a quick search but couldnt not find any recent info so is there anyone who has been to CR recently that can let us know what the current rate is for a taxi ride in to downtown (Hotel Presidente area)? On my way down on Tuesday.

[Colombia Lover]

It depends. If you take a cab, it will be about $20. If you book the Airport Shuttle at least four days in advance and pre-pay (which I usually do), it will be $9.50. I have only shared the "shuttle" with one person once and she was going to my same hotel.

Don't pay more than $20. Arrange this price in advance before getting into the cab.

[Lexb]

That states that you can't seek out fellow travelers to share the cab fare as many, IMO, are going to the the downtown area or, at least, very close to it. (this could be done on the plane, waiting in the immigration line or at the taxi stands).

Negotiate with the cabby first and get a price for the location(s) of the single stop(or stops) that you intend to make!

With some networking and luck, this could also be done when you leave to return home!

Thanks Fellas for the tips, especially this one! And if anyone else is going to be down in the area I will be the one at the Blue Marlin Bar with the obnoxious shirt!

Stay horny my firends.

There is a site called Inter Bus. They will pick you up from the airport for $10.

www.interbusonline.com

There is also shuttle bus but there site is down today. Expected to be back up soon. They charge $9.50

Another great trip in the books. Step into Sportsmans Friday night and notice it’s teeming with new girls who I did not see during my March trip. Did not session much at the SL as I spent my time there speaking with the new chicas and trying to get a feel for whether they will be good performers. I did session with morena Karen, who I had been meaning to hook up with since I saw her in November. She was away for the weekend working in Jaco but stopped by the SL on Monday night. Nice body. Performance was good, but not spectacular. Also had my eye on a flaca blond chica, very light skin, who I‘ve never seen before. She needs to go on a all rice, beans, and meat diet to achieve the body type I usually look for, but she is a cutie and seems to be on the shy side, which is also a turn on for me. I may try her out next trip.

Went to Relax a few times. The low end Mps are usually part of my daytime routine. Sessioned with Carolina and Esmeralda. I sessioned with Carolina one other time. I’ve also been with her sister, Allison, who can occasionally be found at Relax, although she is now back home in Grenada, Nicaragua according to Carolina. Allison is gorgeous and fun to be with as well. Carolina is a cutie and has a great body, although I noticed a bit of a gut on her this trip. However, I and others have found Carolina to be moody. She showed virtually no emotion, except prior to our half hour session when she turned around, looked at me and decided to imitate the little girl from the exorcist, with the face and the voice. Oh well, it was Saturday afternoon and she was the only cute girl in there so I tried to exorcise the demons out of her the only way I know how. My efforts didn’t seem to work so session at your own risk.

Had Esmeralda on Sunday afternoon. Only three girls there that day. She was very energetic, but pushed too much for the hour. Also, when I didn’t finish in a half-hour (too many extracurricular activities the night before) and wanted to pay the extra 6,000 Cs for another half-hour to make it an hour session, either her, or whoever she spoke to, tried to screw me over and were adamant that I had to pay for another half hour(12,000 Cs). Told her no thank you and walked out with my leche in tact to check out Illusiones, which was closed. In the past, I was always pleased with the customer service at Relax. Maybe they don’t care anymore with all of the gringo customers they have now. Just hope this place doesn’t become the next New Fantasy with the upselling.

Also visited Hostel Marruecos and found a couple of cute Nicas. The chica I selected barely reached my stomach, but had a gorgeous face and a tight punannie and I was in the mood for a small chica that day. Good service and for 10,000 Cs for a half hour, you can’t go wrong. My wingman for the day had a great session here and went well over his half hour by about 15 minutes, with no complaints from the girl or management. This place doesn’t seem to get much business. A few of the girls were asleep on the couch when we walked in. I always appreciate relatively low prices and good service, so I’ll be sure to stop in next trip and maybe wake up some of the other girls for a nice orgy. An hour with 1 girls is 17,000 C in case anyone is interested. The facilities were passable.

Popped into HLH my last day with a group of guys I met at the SL, but was not impressed with the selection at all. In fact, a few of the women(too old to be called girls) were down right fugly. The dynamic trio of Pamela, Laura, and Karen had a guy on the floor of the bar area for his birthday and he seemed to be having the time of his life. They appear to be fun girls and always receive rave reviews. Unfortunately, their looks have declined over the years. I look at pictures of the three of them from a few years ago and wish I was going to CR back then (Sigh).

The Del Rel did not have as many girls during the evening as I remember from past trips, but nevertheless still plenty of hotties. Met a bunch of really good guys from the boards this trip and had a blast bouncing around to the different venues, drinking, and sharing tales.

Looks like I’ll be back in San Jose for July 4th weekend. I was going to go to Medellin but I guess I waited to long to book the flight because prices out of Newark, NJ are over $700 now. Will most likely go there for Labor Day weekend. Happy hunting guys, Bunda Man.

Where is Relax and Marruecos? I never saw this.

Glad toy had good time thanks.

Both are not far from the Sportsmans. Relax is located on Calle 11, next to Eros and across from Idem. As you are walking along Calle 11, you will pass Tin Jo restaurant. Relax is only a bit past there. I am usually coming from the Sportsman Lodge so I go to the INS building on Ave. 7 and walk towards the park in the direction of the Del Rey. Bear left, cross the street(crazy traffic so be careful) and you will see an overpass. Take the stairs down which run along the University and when you reach the bottom you are on Calle 11, the same street Relax is on. Cross to the right side of the street and walk straight down.

For Hostel Marruecos, from the INS building on Ave. 7, continue straight. On the right side of the street you will pass Bar Poas, on the left, you will see the Holiday Inn in the distance. Pass Bar Poas and at the end of that street make a left. As soon as you turn, you will see the sign for Muarruecos. The intersection is Calle 3.

Hope this helps.

[Kickshotms]

Visiting end of June and staying at SL. Made that decision by reading the forum. Have RTFF and have a pretty good idea of what is going on in CR. Have my CRT and paid my $19. 95 for pix etc

I have a few questions:

1. Does my grey hair increase the price expecially since I am obviously a gringo

2. Do not speak spanish. But, used to talking to people in the Chicago area who speak good Spanish and limited English. Can get by with lalking to chicas who speak limited English (I think) Will that increase the price as well? I like the idea of negotiation. I am a salesman and that appeals to me. Fuly understand the concept of "no cien" Although cien for TLN is bargain.

3. Some ideas as to what areas to avoid. Most likely will be solo and try to walk as much as possible. Take taxis as night. Is it safe to walk around and "explore" during the day? I guess my questoin is: is is obviouis of the dubious areas to avoid. I am used to the bad ass areas of big cities (think West and South sides of Chicago). But, I am always in my car and just parking it to visit customers etc. I always have the safety of my car. Do not plan to rent a car

4. Finally, would like to visit Jaco Beach. How are chicas there forum is not too clear. Other beach areas for chicas that can be recommended. Must be able to take bus there

Thanks and PM if you wish

................................................................

Almost all your questions have been asked and answered a hundred times before here on this forum.

My suggestion would be for you to do a little more research on the things you need to know.

You can search under my handle - stevewxly and find out lots of info about San Jose and Jaco Beach.

What you might not find is your inquiries about your grey hair and the fact that you are a gringo.

And the answer to those questions is that the local girls in Costa Rica....do not think like American women....you will very often see 60 year old guys with grey hair arm and arm with 20-ish Central American girls....as they just don't seem to care much about the great age difference. So your grey hair should not be a liability to you down there.

You can walk all over San Jose...but most gringos will be in taxi in the evening and especially late at night....a $ 3.00 taxi ride is way better than taking the chance that you will get mugged or robbed walking down the streen at night.

Daytime walking is usually OK...most everywhere. Just use normal caution.......

You can take the regular bus from San Jose to Jaco Beach for about $ 3.00....there are perhaps 5-6 of them per day...its about a 3 hour trip.

An upgrade to the reg. bus would be the air conditioned mini buses run by Greyline and Interbus. Your hotel will book these for you with pickup and delivery right at your hotel front door.
One way cost is about $ 20.00 for the trip from SJ to Jaco....and same for return. You will need a reservation for these......none for the reg. bus.
.......................................

Jaco & The Beatle Bar

Jaco Beach is a good place to visit to get out of the city of SJ....say for the weekend.
That is exactly what many of the working girls do who live and work in SJ. They will be on the Friday afternoon buses to Jaco....and once there will often room together in the cheap little rooms that they share there...and you will find most of them working the Beatle Bar at night.

Pretty much the same as things at the Del Rey Hotel in SJ...only the Beatle Bar is much smaller...but there should be 30-40 gals there on a weekend night for the picking.

For an interesting sideline.......go to the Colonial Restaurant on Jaco's main street about 11 - 12 PM...sit outside near the sidewalk and you will see lots of the gals (who were at the Beatle Bar the night before - walking up and down the sidewalk....they are killing time until its time to go back to work at the Beatle Bar. Often times you can make eye contact with them....say hello to them, and invite them to sit down and have a drink with you.
I have scored lots of nice looking gals during the daytime (and you can get a good look at them in daylight too) doing this. Often times the price for a Nooner is much cheaper than their standard night time rates.

...................................................

............................................................................

Traveling by buses in CR

Be careful to keep an sharp eye on your bags on the bus...there are thieves in CR, and if you are not watching your luggage they will get your stuff and simply walk away with it.

Now search out some prervious reports on the subjects you need to know about....its all here for the looking.

Sportsman's Lodge Hotel is a very good choice for you....for your first time.

Is Salsa 54 still open in San Jose ? I love to dance to Salsa Tunes. I had back in the day many, many good times in that dive. Nonpros and if you can dance or have balls to try you had it made.

Jackson,
Thanks for routing out this stupid troublemaker....Gotti Jr.

I enjoy reading almost all the posts here and also being able to post my own thoughts and travel experiences from time to time.

Bogus jerks like Gotti Jr. just muddy up the waters for the rest of us....who just want to have a good, clean forum to address and share our travel issues.

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to eliminate this "bad apple" from our barrel.

Greetings Everyone,

I recently identified that the following username registrations were in fact one and the same individual, which I have designated as the...

Gotti Jr. Alias Group

Arealist
Gotti Jr
MasterJeweler
Ny Boss
Ny King
Nywiseguy
Rockerfeller
Teflon Son
Truthman

Therefor, I have cleaned up this thread by deleting a number of off-topic and otherwise worthless posts by the Gotti Jr. Alias Group, as well as a number responses made by other forum members to these deleted posts.

Do you believe that this idiot posted 97 times without ever posting a single thing of any value?

I considered the idea of leaving all of the posts by the Gotti Jr. Alias Group in the forum as it was somewhat amusing, in light of the fact that they were one and the same individual, to read how the same idiot would go back and forth essentially talking to him self as he supporting his own aliases. However, no matter how amusing, I decided to completely erase every vestige of his presence on this forum.

This cleanup process is not perfect, and it's possible that I may have inadvertently deleted a few otherwise legitimate posts. If you find that your own report was also deleted, please don't take it personally.

In addition, every username registered by the Gotti Jr. Alias Group has been erased and banned from the forum, and all IP addresses used by him have been recorded in my "Troublemaker's Database" for identification of future aliases.

Thanks,

Jackson

I'll be in CR for a short vacation soon with my wife. Do you guys think it would be difficult for us to pick up a working girl someplace in for a short-time threesome?

If so, any recommendations on where we would be welcomed?

We do speak Spanish and of course understand it would be P4P.

Thanks

[Que Rico]

Thats entirely possible, 20% of the girls claim to like woman and the other 80% lie and say they do. The fake lesbian show is common for a few extra bucks they pretend to fool around. If your in San Jose then just look in the delrey or Keylargo but make sure you screen the girl alot first because 50% are liars and the other 50% are liars. I'm sure you can find exactly what you need amigo.

Good luck

There has been no posts on the Belize board since 3-31-10. That is 3 months. I am thinking of visiting Belize because it has two key advantages in my opinion over CR.

One English is the national language. It was a British colony until 1981. Two if you tell someone that you are going to Belize no one thinks that you are going there to go bang hookers.

Prostitution is legal in Belize. Can anyone post information about Belize. Hotels to stay where you can bring girls back without a problem. What are the best places.

[TomJackin]

I was in Belize City last summer for a couple of nights. The only action I could find was at Raul’s Rose Garden by the airport...but it was not worth going to again.

[Jaimito Cartero]

I there are no reports, there is usually a good reason for this. When I went a few years ago, the P4P scene was pathetic. Expensive and bad quality.

If you're so bothered about what other people think, then just tell people you're going somewhere else.

And if you can't learn enough Spanish or Portuguese to get laid in Central or South America, then you're a sorry fuck. I routine run into guys who know 3 words in Spanish; cerveza, bano, cuenta. That's it. They manage to get by.

Normal hot spot mongering countries in this area are: DR, CR, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina.

[Thaijuan14]

The key to a good experience is research. The ISG is my bible, but I do watch travel shows and read books about the history of that country. Look at the layout of ISG. They will list countries and then you can click on for more. Well, that list pretty much tells you the more popular places.

When I thought about Belize, I went to the Belize forum and right away, due to low number of posts, I knew it was not a happening place. Now I like native girls, so if really wanted to be with one, I would have to travel there but the girls there are not that special.

I read most of the posts on Belize and the members pretty much tell you there isn't much there. I watched a show about Belize with a guy who hungout with the gangs. It really showed a side you are not going to see on a travel show nor get such a understanding with ISG.

Don't worry about no being able to speak the language (in any country). There is always a way around this. I don't speak german, but that's not going to keep me from going. The key is to hook up with a local or somebody from the forum.

I went to Tijuana and Santo Domingo and they had people on the forum who would be your personal guide. I didn't need a guide but I am just saying there are people out there who will escort you during your trip.

Now, there are members as well, of course. I would rather be with another member and we didn't speak the language and we try to find our way, then to go solo and struggle to get around.

We have everything at our fingertip. You can choose the flight, the layover, the hotel, what kind of transportation you are comfortable with, the safety of the place, what places are a ripoff and where you might get a good experience and so on.

There were places that I was planning to go, but after reading the ISG, I have decided against them, most of them for safety reasons. Some of the places just didn't offer anything for mongers. There are places that sound enticing like the Bahamas and Cancun, but I read from other members that they were duds, no monger action. Saved a lot of money!

I traveled alot from 05' to 07', got a little burned out, especially dealing with Cus. & Immg. I contributed a lot to the forum back then. I am just saying that I am not new. I wanted to start newer contributions so I took on a new name. From my experience, it really matters where you monger.

Places like Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines have women who are skilled and ready. Places like Mexico and and lets say Canada, the women are not all out freaky. I love threesomes and in some places its easily understood and done, in others, its work to get two ladies and its just an act.

There are so many factors in mongering. The thing is to know what you want before you get there, how you are going to go about getting it, what problems you could run into (police, pimps) and most of all, how receptive is she going to be. Happy mongering.

Arrived in SJ Tues. Took Interbus to SL, got room registered, set down suitcase and the fun began.

First, had to have a cold one to wash down the road dust. Several chicas at the bar around 3:00. Selected Lucemarina for $50 US Went back to the bar with her and got her and her friend drunk. Took both to the room for $50. Lucy told me that I did not have to pay for her, just her friend. Lucky me!

Wednesday: Got up early and walked to HLH. Selected a healthy Dominican. Cabbed it back to SL and got massage/sex for $45. Actually a very good massage. Don't remember her name.

This session started me on my morning ritual of massage/sex around 10:00 AM Usually decent selection at HLH. No 9's or 10" but plenty of 6 & 7's. Those are the best value IMO.

Afternoon found me interviewing various chicas. Secelted a very beautiful one for $55. Don't remember her name (there were toooooo many to remember) This was late afternoon and I called it a night.

Thursday: Discovered Samantha and her friend for 4 hand massage and sex. $60 for both. Samantha speaks very good English; her friend speaks none except "blowjob".

Talk to some of the American locals at the SL bar finally and get some valuable info. As a matter of fact, there has been discussion here of the ability to speak Spanish. It clearly helps, but I did not find it to be a problem for me. It is more a a problem at the airport asking directions etc The chicas speak enough english to at least communicate their prices.

Taxi down to HLH at 8:30 PM Place overwelmes me. Too many chicas. I am a kid in a candy store. Decide to sit down in the lobby in a nice comfortable chair and (can't remember her name) introduces herself. She is dressed to the nines in a cocktail type dress. I would rate her an 8 1/2 Go across street to quiet bar and get her a bit tipsy. Ask her how much and her answer is "whatever you want to pay" Me thinks $50 and she agrees Off to SL for a 2 1/2 hour session and the best that I had She was extrememly passionate and into it. I would say that she was close to her time of the month. You know when they get very horny! She was definitely very very horny. She probably is the only one that I would look for next time and I had some good ones.

Friday: Look for my morning massage and cannot find anything to my liking. Plus futbal is on the TV Start drinking and my mind gets a bit cloudy. Finally end up with Laura. The only mistake of the trip. Her performance was good. However, there was a big disagreement on the price. I said $45 and she claimed I said c45, 000. Big difference No way was I paying more than $60 Settled on the difference between the two. Blame it on the aaaaaaaacccccccoooooooohhhhhhooooolllll Too many shots of tequila and guaro.

Later get one of my favs, Lucy. She was cute and cheap and fun. Not the best body but a cute face. Bottom line, is that she was the second best. Not even sure what I paid her. Maybe $25? I was drunk and so was she. She likes her alcohol.

Saturday: Recon mission with two other mongers looking for Bar Idem and the massage parlours. We walked maybe two miles. Mission accomplished with me ending up at a Massage parlour. Not sure of the name, but the one closest to SL, down the street from the little restaurant. Selected Hilda for c27, 000 includes everything and did I get it. Just loved the steam with her laying opposite me and massaging my feet. Almost better than the sex.

Saturday afternoon: ended up just observing all of the chicas coming and going and finally selected a beauty. Once again name escapes me (OK next time I will take notes) She was $60 and just a marvelous body and face. If not for her see section scar I would rate her a 9 Good English as well.

Lucy spends the night with me for "whatever you want to pay" Really fell asleep and took care of her around 1:00 AM after bar closed She left at 4:00 and Interbus arrived at 6:00 AM for ride to airport.

Thank you to all mongers who have posted here. Your comments and advice were priceless! The chicas are in a bargaining mode down there. Not one asked me for $100 and I went with the attitude of "no cien" Planning my return trip sometime in Nov or maybe Jan Just hope that the pricing structure remains the same or goes down. LOL. Just a bit more affordable.

Great TR, it makes me long for those days & nights, mostly the nights.

[Kickshotms]

In my previous report HLH should read Hotel Del Rey.

Sorry was in a bit of a rush and no edit function.

Just a bit more affordable.since the $ is, and has been, extremely weak in the last several months against the CRC!

Even with the $'s brief "spike" at the beginning of June of 543CRC/$, it is still below from that is has been in the not-too-distant past!

IMO, perhaps the new "Deal or No Deal" mentality that Kiskshotms experienced from "gringo gulch" SPs can be attributed to one or more of four factors:

-Their long awaited and too long overdue "mindset" that "a little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing! " when bargaining for sex has finally "registered" in their minds!

-An investment to accumulate as many $s as possible as speculation in the hope that the $ will increase in value and they will be able to "cash in" and get more CRCs with their saved $s when this happens!

-Sex tourist business has slowed down in GG and they are "hurting"!

-More competition from an increased number of SPs!

Any thoughts from anyone?

[Lexb]

Some good advice!


The general consensus is that there are fewer tourists in San Jose, and an informed consumer can take advantage of the situation to get a deal on the Price of Latina Ass or at least make the chicas work harder for the money, especially on "toda la noche" (TLN) deals. The lack of demand is partly cyclical as this is when it rains frequently in Costa Rica and summer in the United States keeps people at home.

The truth is also that the worldwide economic slump is taking a tool on Costa Rica, and its painfully obvious there are fewer tourists in San Jose than in previous years. The trick to exploiting the situation is to Negotiate and bargain hard.

The bargirls will try desperate to take advantage of new tourists, ask for $100 and provide little effort in return. While some might try to skimp on price it's also a good idea to make additional requests. For example negotiate extras like blowjob with a condom, two leches (two hours and come twice), anal sex or an entire Viagra enhanced night for $200.

You might also sleep through the evening and start refreshed around midnight to find the really good deals. Closing time at the Key Largo is a wonderful time to make the magic work, and being refreshed and ready to party is a nice advantage over a chica that has been sitting on her ass unable to make a buck all night.

There is no substitute for being broke in terms of motivating a chica to perform. While she may be used to making hundreds of dollars a night she will change her tune once she hasn't made any money for days and there are bills to pay. Clearly a girl is willing to do things she wouldn't even consider any other time of the year, and you are only limited by your imagination.

Just remember the cardinal rule, don't pay in advance and negotiate what you want in detail up front. Insist on photos, take your time, and feel free to explore your imagination.

Bunda Man, it is always a pleasure to read your reports, and nice to know you out there doing your thing. A few comments about Marruecos. That really petite girl you sessioned with is named Adrianna. You're right, she is pretty cute, but I wasn't that impressed with her skills. Also, no English at all. When you arrive at this place, yes, the girls are lying around on lobby couches looking bored and watching soap operas. I could see how you thought that there wasn't much action here, but this is deceptive. In fact, there is a list in the office that records each girls' sessions for that day, and you are very likely to be #5 for any of these girls.

Anecdote: Adrianna came up to my hotel room one night unannounced, really, super drunk. What pursued was like a scene out of a very bad B-movie. Straight to the bed for a blowjob, and then she started to ride me. Two minutes into cowgirl she gets up and begins yacking on my hotel floor. She did this from standing position, and it reminded me of a cat or dog or somthn. This was an obvious situation at that point and I managed to kick her out as the only English she could muster was, "sorry, sorry."

Wesal, thanks for your insight into Marruecos and your Anecdote on Adrianna. Will be posting some observations and pictures from my July 4th weekend trip shortly. Things were slower than ususal in Candyland.

Kickshotms,

Thanks for your report. I was in town July 3-6 at the Sportsmans. I am wondering if you meant the Del Rey or Key Largo when you describe "HLH". As far as I am aware, HLH has rooms and take out is not permitted. The massage place you visited down the block from the SL is the infamous New Fantasy. I am not a fan. Glad you had a great time.

[Bunda Man]

Things were slower than usual in Candy Land. Very few hotties at the Sportsmans. Much fewer girls at the Del Rey as well, especially Colombianas. I wondered if this was due to the immigration raids. I did find a couple of great girls at the DR including a Cuban, originally from Havana, who said she has been living in CR for 2 years and a Colombiana, I called her Novi for short because I could not pronounce her full name, also living in CR. The Cuban chica had a great body.

Novi was cute and a beast in the room. I originally met Novi back in March when one of my wingmen from Los Angeles hooked up with her. He had said that she was a wild woman, especially while on top. I certainly found this to be the case. We went at it long and hard until I looked down and noticed I was only wearing half a condom. Luckily I had not finished. While I was putting on a fresh condom, she ran to the bathroom and returned to bed with my bottle of shampoo. I usually bring my own lube but neglected to bring it this trip. She tells me it well work as a lube. I took the bottle from her, but she had already applied some while in the bathroom! I figured the shampoo would not be good for the condom so after a few more strokes I pulled out and finished on her fat little booty.

Alcasar strip club on Avenue 7 had a decent selection. Entry was 4,500 Colones(which included two beers or 3 mixed, watered-down, drinks). Cost of a drink for a dancer was 5,000 Cs which included a contact lap dance from the girl until she finished the drink. Action was available in small rooms near the entrance and behind the stage for 15,000 Cs, for 15 minutes, which was not rushed. Had a few cute Nicas from here. My wingman had a few nice Tcas and a thick Colombiana with crazy junk in da trunk.

Finally hooked up with Fabiola at Relax. Wow, one of the best BBBJs I have ever had. Took her for an hour. Probably my best use of $40 bucks ever. Extremely passionate BB sucking and licking and CIM, wild sex, a nice massage(with girlie body crème but oh well). She even brought me a can of Imperial from the six pack that was on the table where the girls congregate.

At Krysis I discovered a real sweetie. Paola is a Nica who was wearing a school girl outfit, a plaid mini skirt with white top rolled up to her navel and a flower in her hair that matched her skirt. A natural beauty in my eyes who was extremely passionate in the room. My buddy took her after me. It was his first session of the trip and well, it’s common knowledge that you don’t last as long your first session of a trip. While we were walking back to the SL, he said she had stripped down to her black lace underwear and gyrated and rubbed her body all over his. I told him she did the same for me. Only difference was that during the humping he exploded between her legs, without penetration. She was a good girl and let him carry on with sex anyway as he had paid for an hour and had plenty of time left on the clock. I advised him that she was nice to do that as many girls would call it quits after the first pop.

Note about Krysis. The gorda who sits at the counter claimed the half hour option was no longer available. The hour is currently 18,000 Cs. I came back another time and was in the waiting room when I heard the same lady offer a Tico a half hour for 15,000 Cs. I didn’t fuss about it since I only came here for Paola and she was well worth the $40 US. My wingman from Jersey who is originally from El Salvador paid Tico prices at New Fantasy and Relax. He probably would have been offered the half hour at Krysis as well if the gorda had not seen my pale ass with him. He really like Paola, as did I, so he didn’t mind.

My buddy was bugging me to visit the Paos Volcano. Things were slower than usual and I had been meaning to broaden my horizons so on day three we woke up at 6am and made the journey. Booked Marabella tours through the SL the day before. $89.00 per person included transportation to and from our hotel, breakfast at a little bed and breakfast with a beautiful view on the way to the Volcano, trip to the Volcano as well as the Waterfalls and surrounding park, which is home to many gorgeous animals. A great buffet lunch at the Waterfalls park was also included. We were back by 4:30pm in time for a nap and continuation of our regular activities.

All in all, not my best trip but still a great time. My friend had the time of his life and is still going on about Paola and the body on the Cuban girl from the Del Rey, whom we both had. A few pictures to follow shortly. Happy hunting, Bunda Man.

[Bunda Man]

In my previous report HLH should read Hotel Del Rey.

Sorry was in a bit of a rush and no edit function.

Thanks for the correction. Did not read this until after I had already commented on your original post. Sorry about that. I did not do as well as you did in terms of prices at the Del Rey. The few stunners that were around at the DR and KL were going for $80 for short term and the chicas a tier or more below the stunners for $60.00 for short term.

[John York]

I will be heading to the SL with a buddy of mine next Wednesday. Is it true what I am reading that there are ticas that hang out at the SL itself? We will be hitting the DR of course as well as the sister bar nearby (I forget the name). What are the top 3 other spots you recommend we should hit. I have seen mention of a few other spots (massage parlors and strip clubs), I guess we could just experiment with all of them.

The casinos are nothing to write home about right? Last time I was in CR was probably about 5 years ago.

[Kickshotms]

Chicas start arriving at SL around 11:00 am Not many during the day But, it pays to have a looksy, maybe lunch or a drink

[CrazyHorse0017]

John: Yes, Ticas, Nicas, Colombianas, Venezolanas, and sometimes Gringas hang out at the SL bar looking for biz. I prefer the scene and the drink/food prices at SL, relative to HDR. As far as spots to hit. You can't really go wrong with Hotel Little Havana, Idem and Relax. Any of the cabbies out front of SL know where they are. You can walk to Little Havana from SL, passing by New Fantasy (I never sessioned there) along the way.

I'm there this weekend. Have a good trip.

Bunda Man, thanks for the post and pics. I remember awhile back everyone was praising Jenny's oral skills from Relax. Did you ever get that pleasure, and if so, how would Fabiola's measure up?

Weasal, I have had the pleasure of Jenny as well. That is like asking who was a better basketball player, Magic or Bird. Tough decision but I would have to give the edge to Fabiola as I found her to be more GFE. No rush, but took her for the hour so that surely helped. No pressure to take two girls like Jenny has become known for lately, although I am told Jenny works lesbo magic with another chica. Also, Fabiola was extremely attentive, constantly looking into my eyes as she bobbed up and down and asking me if I was enjoying myself and what she can do to make it more pleasurable. Maybe I can just chalk it up to the chemistry being better.

Can't go wrong with either and how about the two of them together! If I ever see the two of them together at Relax I will most certainly try that if they are in to each other. Be ready to be drained! Pura vida, Bunda.

[John York]

currently on day 3 of our 5 day adventure in san jose staying at the sl.

i was rather surprised at the volume at the hdr on a wednesday night. i enjoyed playing some 1-2 nl in a pretty loose game, but luck was not with me losing set over set on my last hand. enough of the bad beats. arrived on wednesday and met a nice tica at the sl in the afternoon, she said she had only been "working" for 3 days so i thought i would give the amateur for a spin. she wanted 80, i countered 50 and we settled on 60. we had a good time. she kinda latched on to me though after i went out to the bar and i made the mistake of sitting down with her and her friend, once i realized everything was going on my bill (originally she asked for chips, i didn't realize that was nachos) plus their drinks, i got out of there and closed my tab. my buddy arrived later in the evening and we headed over to the hdr. we picked up a pair of friends for 80 each, they seemed to draw a hardline or maybe our negotiation skills were rusty. then we all got in a taxi to hit the am/pm supermercado down the street for beers and cuba libres for the girls (rum and coke) and then up to the sl and got hit with a 6k colones (rip off, should have been a hair over 2k). the experience with these two were subpar (i enjoyed the amateur a lot more the night before). also the next day we realized we got charged for a few missing items from the minibar (food items). so that prompted us to store the mini-bar food tray in one of the drawers so they are not taken like free candy from the ticas. we were both pretty tired on thursday (yesterday) and took it easy, i pulled a pretty girl from the sl bar that reminded me of the colombian's i had met in cartagena a few months back, she wanted 80, i countered 50, then 60 she said that was too low for her, i told her i pulled a girl ayer for 60, she said she must have been ugly, lol. then she said 70 and i said fine.

a few words about the sl:

pro's:

* i like the free internet and access to the two pc's, although sometimes i have seen the ticas using them, i probably could have just asked them to get out or probably to be more cordial asked someone who worked there to kick them off of the pc's. even as i sit here at 10: 30 there is one on the other one next to me.

* the boutique gym is a nice touch although it could use some cooling, either ac or fans at the least; the large windows in the front, while tinted, do not open and the room can get hot.

* the complimentary continental breakfast is o. k. (some fruit, bread, yogurt, and jams) although we ended up buying breakfast each day.

* easy access to the rooms from picking up a tica from the bar was a plus

* the cable channel selection was nice even a 24h porn channel which my buddy enjoys.

* no fee regulation size pool table is a nice perk.

* the ac works very well in the bedroom, although tough to cool off the main living area as well, there are ceiling fans and the jacuzzi was nice to have available to us.

con's:

* we stayed in the presidential suite (first room as you walk in). it is large and spacious but a few cons worth mentioning: each morning at about 8am we were greeted with a worker scraping paint off of the bars outside of the windows. we chose this room since there were two of us but the person not sleeping in the bed will have a rather unpleasant sleeping experience in the pull out sofa w/ 3. 5 legs holding the bed up. the couches are quite dated and you sink to near the ground when you sit in them.

* the food was adequate, not really much of a con, the service is slow but i think that is usual with south america. beware of the flies in the morning. first day i ordered a burger, was not asked how i liked it, received it well done, it was less than average. i much prefer the food at the hdr. although i just heard the wings here were very good so i will need to try that later.

* the bar closes at midnight (at least the last few nights), it is quite loud in the room from 10-1am. may not be much of a problem for those that get over their jet lag and stay up until all hours.

we're going to check out a few of the massage parlors today, i might get a massage but not much else, i'm pretty tired from my stay, i think 5 days here is pushing it. time to pace myself as the 10 rules to the sl says on the wall.

[Macrino]

I will concur with bundaman. I find Fabiola to be really great!

[Da Monger]

I will in CR during September and Can anyone refer Goth/Punck chicks?

Piercing/tatoos/Green Pink hair etc

[Nick]

DO
Weasal, I have had the pleasure of Jenny as well. That is like asking who was a better basketball player, Magic or Bird. Tough decision but I would have to give the edge to Fabiola as I found her to be more GFE. No rush, but took her for the hour so that surely helped. No pressure to take two girls like Jenny has become known for lately, although I am told Jenny works lesbo magic with another chica. Also, Fabiola was extremely attentive, constantly looking into my eyes as she bobbed up and down and asking me if I was enjoying myself and what she can do to make it more pleasurable. Maybe I can just chalk it up to the chemistry being better.

Can't go wrong with either and how about the two of them together! If I ever see the two of them together at Relax I will most certainly try that if they are in to each other. Be ready to be drained! Pura vida, Bunda.
Do you remember the name of the Cuban girl at the del Rey. there use to be 2 cousins who hung out there.

[Weasal]

Ok, well apparently back when, there were a fair amount of the del rey bartenders that were fired. I have a question if anybody knows the whereabouts of one of these girls. I could of swore her name was Dianna (sp?), but when I asked the other bartenders this past February about her, they didn't remember her based on the description. She only worked there for a short time, which I'm thinking was something like jan/feb 2009-oct/nov 2009. She was 19 years old then with 2 kids. Jet black hair. She had a circle-type design tatoo on the back of her neck, and this was probably the one thing that would distinguish her (I know there were multiple Dianna's working there at one time). Super good looking. Does anybody remember her or have contact info for her? Please!

I believe it was Delani, or something similar. Definitely not a common name. She was there with friends as far as I know. Happy hunting, BM.

Hi,

I am a newbie and planning to be in San Jose from Dec. 18th to Dec. 22nd. I would appreciate if some one can advise me whether this would be a time worth visiting. Because of my work I cann't take off any other time of the year other than in December. Will there be enough chica crowd in DL during this time of the year? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Unless there's some national Holiday, you should be fine as that is a weekend. You should have a spanking good time. Enjoy!.

[Sonantics]

Hi,

I am going to SJ this week and will be there Wednesday 8/11-8/19. Since this group has been so useful for me with its information, I wanted to see if anyone in the group is in SJ this week and would like to meet up. I'm staying at the Tiquicia and am going to be doing a "tour" of SJ before heading down to Manuel Antonia and maybe Jaco.

Thanks!

It might not be the best time of the year to go, but I can assure you won't have ANY problem getting laid by a gorgeous chica.

Have fun

Good luck on your trip. It would be nice to hear about Manuel Antonio, I am thinking of doing a similar trip to yours in October.

[Bunda Man]

Just heard about new MP; Hotel G anyone currantly in SJ have any info or pics?

Will be in town for dental work 1st week of September.

I've been told it is down the hill from HLH next to the parking lot for the Dunn Inn. Prices are reportedly $20-$50 depending on half hour or an hour, although gringo upselling has also already been reported. I will also been in town the first week of Sept. (2-6).

[Kickshotms]

Staying in Jaco early Nov and then on to SL. Actually 10/31 and 11/1 at Clarita's.

Anyone have any info regarding the Hallows Eve celebration on 10/31/ in Jaco?

Have airfare confirmed for early Feb and would like to explore the Pacific coastal area.

I am especially interested in the P4P in the Manuel Antonio area. If none, I might as well go to the Carribbean coast. Maybe

Planning on doing this in Feb when weather is nicer and return to North US with a nice CR tan!

FYI airfare has been cheap for me. $305.00 round trip from ORD to SJO Pays to search and book early.

[Kitie Carson]

I am finally here. Got into SJ 8/10/10 on the 0522 flight liittle late leaving Denver so got in right at 6am. Immigration/Customs total of 10 minutes Max and to the SL before 7am. Met some guys over Continental Breakfast and Pops came to meet me at 8am. Due to Overnight flight and the fact that. I was in Vegas all weekend, Pops just introduced himself and walked me to the DI to meet BKtuna and pick up my CRT card. Pops going to give me the full tour tomorrow when I get my body some sleep.

I then went to INS building to get some Money and walked over to DR where there were 3-4 Chicas there. Juts looking and getting my bearings. Went to store to pick up H2O/Cokes/Chips and back to SL for nap.

Already I have seen 2 cuties in SL. One almost looks Asian and she is nice and tiny Anyone know who that is.

Cherry broken with Lucy at SL. I sat at the bar this AM for a beer and "Vanessa"and Lucy were all over me like White on rice!

Rubbing me, talking nasty, saying dupla. I told them I had been up 24 +hours and could not do 2, Went to the computer terminals to check email and a thought came to me that I had heard of these ladies. They came up to the computer w/me and surrounded me rubbing me as usual and I told them to wait a minute, I had to go check something.

Went to CRT VIP site and searched there names and sure enough I got a hit w/"Vanessa"aka Michelle and I went down and called her out on it and she turned Beat Red. Not too Favorable review so I went with Lucy.

She gives a pretty good massage and I agreed for BBBJ for $70. All pus doggie then reverse CG. Then to shower where she bathed me. Will see her again before I hit the Pacific Coast. More to come.

Day 2

Good day today. Went to Farmacia w/Pops and Speakno. Del Ray to use ATM after 6p. Lots of Chicas. Sessioned w/ Caroline 2 Leches, BBBJ for $70. Ok, would not repeat. Met fellow CRT'ers Speakno, Jason7481, Lomo, GoodayJohn. Nice Guys w/more coming in tomorrow. Should be fun.

Day 3

Pops, Speakno and I did the tour this morning and hit a few spots and MPs. Also did lunch at Soda Peru. Sitting at SL bar w/Lomo and Speakno. We are currently staring at Lucy and Vanessa and a few others whose name we don't know and thinking Damn! Going to hit Relax/Idem in just a few minutes.

Wish all the Bro's could be here.

Wow is all that I can say for Thursday's activities. Started the day off on a tour of SJ w/Pop's and Speakno. Various sights seen and a few MP's toured just to see the process and rooms. Muses, HLH, and another small 1 whose name I cannot recall. In between the walk from Soda Peru (which had a great menu and lunch food which we did partake) and Del Ray. Also went to Dunn Inn where BKtuna gave us a tour of some of his rooms and also the new Gaming/Poker/Nightlife center which hopefully will be open by end of OCT. Looks to be awesome.

In the afternoon a few of us wanted to try out an MP, so we trekked it to Relax/Idem. As it was well before 3pm we went into Relax since we had heard Idem wasn't open yet, and they had probably around 8-10 girls out. I scanned the line-up and immediately chose a short cutie with long curly hair. She led me upstairs and we proceeded to go into the small muggy room with bed and fan. Ok insert point< going as a group in hindsight we should've discussed procedure and what times we were getting in order to save time and troubles afterwards wondering where the others were or what we should do, be it go or wait. SHe asked me my name and I asked her, and whoa and behold I chose FABIOLA w/o knowing. I immediately recognized her name and was very happy with my decision. She is a little cutie for sure. I chose the 30min session for 25 and she took a shower and came back to room and proceeded to give me a nice BBBJ, Doggie, Missionary. We then just laid around talking for the final 29 minutes. LOL JK! No jokes needed. We both showered together afterwards. As stated in previous threads, she is worth the money.

Me and Lomo chose the 30 minutes session and didn't know what the other 2 did so we decided to stand outside to wait. We noticed the door to Idem was open so we journey'd over there and went in. WOW! They must open earlier now, because when we went in there were 3-4 guys drinking at the bar and 7-10 BEAUTIFUL girls sitting in the chairs. Now when I say Beautiful, Some of these girls were true stunners. Remember this is only a little after 3pm and they had a great line-up. We, being newbies to the MP scene just went to the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. We had no idea of prices, etc. Here. Finally Lomo asked the cashier lady and she said $65 for the hour w/no 1/2 hr sessions. As we had just sessioned at Relax and didn't bring a huge cashroll we decided to leave, BUT I will definitely be back during Labor Day here as these girls were HOT! They could not come up to us unless we wanted them to, but they could parade in front of us at the bar, getting drinks behind the bar, all the while looking at us and smiling and laying there bodies out in front of us to be oogled.

Finally found the other 2 guys and we walked over to the DR to check it out during the 4pm hour. Alot of eye-candy and alot of groping, chatting, and a few phone numbers for future reference. Alot of Silicone too, which made me happy.

Finally back to SL for a shower and shave before HH and also, I had booked a G&G girl for a few hours at 6p, just to see about it her. HH was fun, meeting some more CRT'ers who had come in and looking at the girls. Started off slow but the Girls kept coming. 6pm rolled around and security found me and said my girl was at the door. I met her and was very glad in my choice. I chose Monica, very cute small Tica. 20yr old no Babi*s. I was in the Zorro room in the Mansion wing and we stopped by the Mansion bar for a few drinks before heading to my room. She was very touchy feely which was good and we tried to communicate the best we could, her English and my Spanish skills were very little. We then went to my room. We took a shower and then proceeded to retire on my bed. This gal was all of 5 ft 100 lbs with a tight little body w/curves in all the right places. BBBJ, CG, RCG, doggie to be had. 2 hrs flew by and before I knew it 8pm was here. Will def TLN her during LD weekend. Very pretty gal.

Dressed and went down to bar and found the others. Lots of girls coming in. At 1 point I looked at entrance and a line of them were waiting to enter. Some of the guys were heading out to DR/KL, but I hadn't eaten since 11ish so I decided to stay and spend the last night here before I head to the coast. Ordered food and ate/drank chatted with different girls. Decided to hold last session of night w/Pretty Tica Maureen. She looked great dressed. Nice boob, ass etc. Retired to my room and she took a shower and came to bed. BBBJ, CG, Missionary w/me ending up on her stomach. Total$70. May or May not repeat.

Great 4 days here at the SL. Should also mention that I met Bill (owner). Seems to be a very nice guy. It as good to meet everyone and put a face to the CRT handle. Also the fee for joining CRT had already paid off 3 times fold. Easily. Best investment in a long time. See you Labor Day weekend.

[OyiboAfrica]

Met a good looking 23 year old tica last night. Her name was carla maria, 5ft tall, black hair with a great body. It was after midnight already. Agreed on US 100. 00 for the rest of the night. Well she seemed nice, but than suddenly rushed to come to the action. After 20 mins, she rushed more and more. Well being drunk already, I asked why the rush, we have all night. Well her answer was: "but after you come I want to go. " so cutting long story short, after 5 mins I asked her to leave. She was now upset with me because I am "not nice to her".

[Weasal]

Ok, so I decided to pop my head in and check out this new place, Hotel G. It is directly down the hill from Havanna, on the right side, pinkish building. The address starts with a "9" and the word "HOTEL" is marked on the front. There were 4 girls at about 1:30 in the afternoon-all of them on the bigger side. Price for an hour was either 18000 or 16000 colones, can't remember exactly. You might get a different quote, because the one girl that spoke a tiny bit of english had to ask one of the other girls, and they kind of looked me over before giving the price. Didn't get a clear answer if any other girls would be there later in the day, but they kept motioning just them four.

[Bunda Man]

Great report. Thank you. I was with Michelle/Vanessa back in November and posted about my experience. Was not a good time at all and will not repeat. A guy I meet at the SL hooked up with both Michelle/Vanessa and Lucy and said it was ok but no lesbo. I will also be in town for Labor Day Weekend(Sept. 2-6).

[Bunda Man]

Thanks for the update. This place is new so hopefully the selection gets better with time. I plan on stopping by Labor Day weekend. The gringo upselling seems like something that is going on more and more at many of the popular low end MPs as an increasing number of us patronize the low end spots.

[Stevewxly]

Hey Brother,

For some info on Manual Antonio & Quepos CR----search the forum for my user name- stevewxly....I have written several reports on that area.

Also I have been to the Atlantic coast of CR a few times and did not find any decent action over there.

Puerto Vi-a-hole...was just that....an asshole-type place.

But if you are into 20ish year Euro backpacker gals and drugs---you might like it there.
No significant P4P action there though or anywhere that i could find on the Caribbe side of CR.

Steve

.....................................................................................
Staying in Jaco early Nov and then on to SL. Actually 10/31 and 11/1 at Clarita's.

I am a senior member in Baltimore, but have never ventured outside the US. Have an opportunity to be in SJ for a few days. I have spent hours rtff, feel well informed and confused a bit as well. Can't quite figure the layout for good action with chicas.

In short want a hotel near the action, fairly safe, chica friendly and very accessible (can find them in walkind distance) Would prefer to keep room to a total of $50 a night. Will take a cab from the airport. I am assuming DR is a bit pricy as it seems most are staying near there. I am also assuming that it is in the center of the action as every one seems to want to be as close to there as possible. Hook a brother up. Give me the SJ for dummies!

[Lexb]

Don't forget to wear bullet-proof body armor when you visit!

And when negotiating ST or TLN with the chicas, be sure to give it your "best shot"!

[Ronycueros]

Hey, is it easy to get some nonpro action in CR.

Ive been traveling in Dominican republic and Cuba and there its pretty easy, so is the same in CR. Im almost fluent in spanish!

Give me the SJ for dummies!You are in the exact situation I was 3 years ago. I just jumped in head first after RTFF very thoroughly. I chose the Balmoral Hotel for my first visit and it was a great choice. The gave me a room that overlooked the main walkway/marketplace just one block from the gulch. Only a 2 minute walk to the Del Rey. When I arrived I just looked down into the street for nearly an hour just getting used to being in a different country. I printed maps, that can be found on this site, and slowly gathered my walking bearings based on the Del Rey, Morazan Park ect. I stayed very aware, and prepared for the worst(ie being robbed ect.) There is a chica fee at Balmoral, so plan accordingly and the rooms ar 80/ night. I did the yahoo airfare combo deal.

On another note, the Presidente seems to be very well respected by the chicas, and they always seem impressed when you say that you are staying there. The women were usually more than happy to stay all night for 60 while staying at the Presidente.

I printed maps, that can be found on this site, and slowly gathered my walking bearings based on the Del Rey, Morazan Park ect. I stayed very aware, and prepared for the worst(ie being robbed ect.) There is a chica fee at Balmoral, so plan accordingly and the rooms ar 80/ night. I did the yahoo airfare combo deal.

On another note, the Presidente seems to be very well respected by the chicas, and they always seem impressed when you say that you are staying there. The women were usually more than happy to stay all night for 60 while staying at the Presidente.

IMHO, there are much better options than the Balmoral (why pay a BS chica fee?) and the Presidente (asshole management who have a very subjectively enforced chica "dress code" that could cause you headaches).

Brent J 66:

Check out Dunn Inn. Their standard room is about $50/night with no chica fee. They are on the web at www.Hoteldunninn.com and have a USA toll free reservation number.

It would behoove you to get a CRT card. You can get discounts all around San Jose, as well as at many hotels there. It is $39/yr and will more than pay for itself in one trip. The Dunn Inn manager Boyd can fill you in on the details. Tell him Crazyhorse sent you.

[Kickshotms]

Your reports confirm the limited action in the other than Jaco beach areas My thoughts were to head to a nice beach when I visit in Feb Oct/Nov is for Jaco/SJ I just might find me a chica to show me around. I would not be too fussy for a driver/companion A solid 6 or 7 that takes a liking to me will suffice.

I plan to do some interviewing in Nov for a chica guide I understand the potential for criminal acts etc Hence my goal of face to face interview.

Gladly will accept any rec's or pointers.

The Presidente (asshole management who have a very subjectively enforced chica "dress code" that could cause you headaches).I stayed a couple of times at the Presidente and never had a problem. Be friendly to the staff, say hi to them everyday and they will give you no trouble. The girls seem to know if they can enter the hotel. True, sometimes you have say no to some of the girls, but is not like there is not another one that you can bring back.

I know of four specific veteran mongers who have had MAJOR problems with the Presidente re their subjectively enforced dress code and other issues, and all these guys are very mature and "laid-back." Two of them were longtime customers of this hotel, and they now refuse to stay there. Another friend of mine, a San Jose hotel owner himself, was specifically told by one of the Presidente owners that they are no longer interested in catering to us mongers, preferring to pursue business people and eco-tourists.

Yes, you can certainly run into friendly staff there, but shifts and personnel are always in flux. Problems people have had with the Presidente are much more documented on CRT. In fairness, some of the guys still love the place. I would rather, stay, however, at a hotel that genuinely welcomes my patronage and allows me to bring multiple chicas back to my room with not even an eyebrow raised!

Until then, I enjoy the place. I cannot monger 24/7 like I would have to at Del Rey.

As for the type of client they want, if it is eco-tourists, move the hotel to Arenal. As for business people, I have a couple of friends who travel for business and word will quickly get around that you could not bring girls back to the hotel and they will stop going there.

IMHO, there are much better options than the Balmoral (why pay a BS chica fee?) and the Presidente (asshole management who have a very subjectively enforced chica "dress code" that could cause you headaches).True. I was just thinking that for your first time in CR and out of the US, the Balmoral plushness, location and high class made me feel more secure.

I think Morazan is the best deal out there. Or the Castillo. However, first time to CR, I would recommend Balmoral.

Hey David,

I am an old time CR monger here.....

For your first trip to San Jose, I would not recommend you stay at the Balmoral Hotel. It is well located to the action...but there are better places.

The Hotel Castillo for one.....less expensive, very chica friendly...no extra chica fees....and just a all round great place to stay.

My next choice would be the Sportsmans Lodge .....a great friendly place with an American ower---on site manager...Bill.....good bar, good food, and working chicas on site. You will need reservations at both of these hotels...they fill up fast.

Hey, I've been reading the thread for a while now and plan on making my first trip at the end of the year. Just curious because I've never seen it mentioned, how is the general cleanliness of the most popular MPs? I've visited a ton of AMPs where I live state side and it's been a regular topic of discussion over on the USA site how gross these places can be. For one thing, those sheets are almost never changed. At best, they lay down a towel, which may or may not be clean itself, on top of the sheets. Not uncommon to see spooge stains. Nice. I'm not a squeamish dude, hell I've sessioned enough in those spots myself, just curious what the hygiene situation was like over there. I once got a persistent rash around the corners of my eyes from visiting a local area MP. I'd rather avoid that kind of stuff.

Thanks for any response!

Rooms are clean and the sheets are changed after every session at the Hotel Little Havana and Bar Idem, places worth checking out.

[NightWhaler]

Check Hotel Morazn. 2 minute walk to the Del Rey and Disco. Clean rooms and inexpensive. Around $52.00 per night. Small casino, lounge and free breakfast. Chica freindly and 5minutes from downtown. New Fantasy and what was Zona Blue a 10 to 15 minute walk. Best location that is affordable. Half the Sportsman and Del Rey rates.

As a general rule, for the most part the higher end MPs are clean as Jetsetter mentioned. I consider New Fantasy, HLH and IDEM high end and I have always seen the sheets changed by the girl after each session. On another note, New Fantasy now has a small bar in the lobby to the right of the reception desk. No chairs however.

Relax and Krysis, which I consider low end, even though the price for an hour is close to $40US for gringos, are relatively clean, as is Muses and Hostel Marruecos (which are still 10,000 Colones for a half hour). The rooms at these low end places are at least well lit so you can avoid lying in anything yucky! However, at these places I usually see the girls change the sheets after my sessions.

The rooms at the Dungeon, along Ave. 7, are just as the name suggests and along with 747 and Cha Cha Cha are some of the least cleanliest for me. I always chose to go doggy style with my sneakers on at these places. Don't see the sheets get changed as frequently at these spots. However, I have sessioned at all and have never had any issues, dermatological or otherwise.

[Bunda Man]

Apparently, the G in Hotel G now stands for Good God that's a Guy. A few of you were wondering about this place, which is located down the hill from HLH next to the parking lot for the Dunn Inn, after it's opening was reported about a month ago. My wingman and I ventured in this past Friday afternoon. The first person we spoke to was a food delivery guy who responded with an awkward NO when we asked if there were chicas at the place. Before we could go out the door, the staff came out to present themselves and they were all tranis. They were honest about their gender, but it was obvious to us nevertheless.

It is disappointing that we don't have another place to go to, but good for the tranis and those who love them as they have a much more private place to congregate than Parque Morazon!

[Member #2964]

Met up with Bunda Man after his exploration of Hotel G. I can confirm his assesment of the Hotel.
Unlike Bunda my wingman and I were walking down to the clarion and I noticed The word Hotel next to a she/he standing in the door. We had a good natured laugh and continued past Hotel G, the Clarion and on to Vips.
Other sites downplay a visit at this time of year but all I can say is the weather was good enough for me and what I wanted to do.
Priceing; I paid no more the 20 mil per 1.5 -3 hour session.
$80.00 for 2 girls out of the DR. Afternoon or night.
Edem had a great afternoon lineup Roberto was as always very pleasent and informative.
Relax well Jenny is not showing much, Alicea is great and the others were in the 4-7 range but priced right.
Surprice of the trip was 6th street & 747 4th street
Chubbs was a great place to watch a game Sunday as well as resonably priced food; Greg and his new manager Steve and the girls do a great job.
Till November NO CEIN

[Rick Rock]

Recently spent some time in San Jose.

The Del Rey Hotel is very easy to find and visible from a large part of the downtown shopping district. The famed "Blue Marlin" is right there, though it's confusingly not labeled as such. Instead the awning reads "Hotel Del Rey Restaurant" (if I remember correctly).

First arrived alone on a Tuesday evening. The man working the door asked for ID, but said never mind once he realized I was from the US. I sat down at the small bar and ordered a beer. I must say that all three women working the bar were fucking gorgeous. I didn't RTFF enough to know if they were available but figured that if there were it would probably be much more than I was willing to pay. I later asked a Dominican customer I met and he said it was possible on a case by case basis with lots of work and cash.

The place was full of women, though they don't circulate enough in my opinion. It's necessary to do a few laps through the small casino, both lower rooms and the upper bar to see what's really available.

I was only approached by a handful of aggressive women. The prettier girls seemed reluctant to risk rejection. This seems to be the norm in Central American houses of prostitution.

There were just as many Dominicans and Colombians as Ticas.

I talked to a number of women but finally settled on a fairly attractive light skinned Tica with a nice natural body name Laurie. While chatting her up I noticed for the first time a super sexy thin blonde Tica with a gorgeous face, fantastic ass, flat stomach and big fake hooters. I'm not into fake tits, but she was hotter than hell. I should have went with the younger hottie, but didn't. I still regret it.

Laurie asked for $100. I didn't want to haggle so I agreed to this ridiculous (for Central America) rate, which seems to be the norm for foreigner-friendly spots like this. Laurie told me we could go to a room in the Del Rey for $100, or a short time for $20. I asked for a cheaper option. She said there was a $10 short time place, but said we'd have to walk. It was midnight, but I'm not really afraid of San Jose at any hour. Another woman told me there was a 5 dollar place around somewhere, but I never did find it.

We walked to the short time place hand in hand. I paid for the room and we entered. Not bad for a short time place. Pretty clean, sanitary plastic sheets, decent bathroom (though cold water shower of course).

She didn't shower. I should have asked her too. Let's say she wasn't 100% fresh when I DATY'd for 30 seconds. It wasn't terrible, but you could tell she'd been walking around in the heat all day.

She DFK'd me and stripped off my pants, jerking my cock lovingly and getting me instantly hard. She sucked me with a rubber then hopped on. We did many positions. It was good, but not so tight. Additionally, I was put off by the lack of freshness and her over the top moans. Everything was so "rico" even when it clearly wasn't appropriate.

After 30 minutes she seemed to loose patience. She started sucking again. Then jerking. The whole time, my penis was periodically inspected to make sure the condom was in place. Did she have a bad experience before or just paranoid?

She finally finished me off with a handjob. We talked after and she was a very nice woman. Kind and honest. She said she was tired of the job and was having even more trouble now with the down economy. She said she hoped to find a nice guy to settle down with to get out of the work she was in. She seemed genuine. She offered her number to hook up another time for a discounted rate, but I was headed out of town and declined.

I walked her back to the hotel then cabbed it back to my hotel.

My wife wanted to have a threesome with a hot Latina while in town. Originally she planned to come to the Del Rey with me, but we decided against it after checking the place out during the day. I got the number of a sexy Colombian girl while inside alone. I arranged for her to come to my hotel for a threesome with my wife and I. She said she was up for it when I met her, and arrived on time and looking good, but was clearly not enthusiastic. She went down on both of us and was open for pics/videos (after some prodding), toys and everything else we asked for, but it seemed she would never get into such a situation unless she needed the money. I don't mind paying, but in 3 some situations I try to ensure they're at least into the scene. This time I messed up.

The verdict: In a pinch, or if I was in town with $100 to blow on a gorgeous woman, I would return. But I wouldn't make the trip just for the Del Rey. I learned there are much cheaper places frequented by locals, but I didn't have time for further investigation.

[Mr Jetsetter]

Rick Rock

$100 is not the short-time norm at the Del Rey/Blue Marlin, particularly in this current buyers market. You could have politely offered $60-80 and she would have likely accepted it. NBD, but, believe me, guys who know the scene there rarely pay that much. Friends of mine who live in San Jose consistently pull hot ladies out of there for no more than $50.

[Rick Rock]

Yes that's definitely the impression that I got - especially since I was offered short times for $25 by two Dominican girls after spending some time talking about their country.

The reasons I accepted the high price were: I didn't have much time, I didn't feel like haggling, I didn't want to get lesser service after getting the price down, I felt that she was worth $100.

With the threesome, $100 seemed pretty reasonable when factoring in cab rides to and from and the pics/vids and extra work involved.

[YellowPaul]

Since this is my first trip down there - what is the going rate for a LT or over night for a true stunner from DR, Sportsman, etc - can I get if for $100US which the top of my budget?

I'm rather picky and want a younger attractive type.

[Jayf1970]

I see all the prices on the forum being quoted in dollars. Do you fellow mongers actually pay the chicas in dollars? If so, do you carry cash from the US in dollars? I was thinking of carrying minimal amount of cash and withdrawing local currency there in CRC.

On a somewhat related note, is there a real "Costa Rica for newbees" report. I have had these invaluable reports whenever I have visited other destinations (Rio, Bangkok, etc.) where a first time visitor can find 80% of the info they need in one spot. Of course, you do need to sift through the forum for the remaining 20%, but this one report gives you a good foundation to build on. I did not find any such thing for Costa Rica (may be its there, but I haven't found it... if so, please point me in the right diirection). I have already RTFF'd and having been able to piece together a lot of the basics, but would appreciate your help.

And of course, I will write a report or collate existing ones, if I end up going on my trip.

Thanks a lot.

[Bunda Man]

All-in-all most trips to San Jose are good trips and this one was no exception, except that I had to baby sit a perpetually drunk wingman most of the time. We spent too much time in the dive bars with him chatting up the barmaids. It is worth mentioning that New York Bar has a cute daytime bartender. Forget her name but she is a fair skin brunette Tica. Went there on Saturday afternoon.

When I was able to turn my attention to the girls, the selection at the Sportsman’s is still down in my view. Valerie and a few others were the only cuties I saw. As for Valerie, whose pictures I posted, the performance was very good and included anal for $80 US for 2 pops. Spent a good part of an afternoon in with her. While the sex was good, I never quite felt I could trust her. I took her to the shower with me and locked everything in the safe, but still caught her reaching for my shorts, I believe, while I was in the John between sessions. She didn’t get anything and ruined her chances of getting a tip, which I surely would have given her.

The selection at the Del Rey was much better than my previous trip in July, although not so much at the Key Largo. I’ve noticed that a lot of the hotties, especially the Colombianas, won’t go into the Key Largo. Guess the dancing is too much work for them. Saw the Tica with the huge boobs from my March trip who I posted pictures of. She was drunk so I thought it might be a good opportunity for her to be even more freakier in bed. Unfortunately she was loud and flailing her arms a lot. Figured she is a violent drunk so I passed. She was with a cute Tica (fair skin with curly blond hair) who I have seen before arguing with guys. The friend was wasted and getting loud as well so I passed on her too as did my wingman. Spoke to a lot of hotties who were scared off by my requests, BBBJ, pictures, anal, lesbian, etc. The combination of low-season and a bad economy is causing many DR, KL, and SL chicas to drop their price, but nothing substantial(ie. $20 US) from my experience.

Went to a few low end Mps and strip clubs as I usually do. Had Sophia, a new morena Tica at Relax. Alicia was nice as well. She let me sit behind that counter they have near the lockers while I was waiting for my wingman, who had a session with Paola, since all the seats were taken. Told me she is a law student. Told her I am a lawyer in the States. She said we should open a partnership in San Jose. Told her that sounds intriguing but one of the offices would have to have a massage parlor! A few Ticos came up to the counter thinking I was managing the place! Also saw Paola at Krysis, who I posted pictures of from my July trip. She looked a bit worn down and was not as anxious to session. Guess a few months at an MP can be a lifetime for some. There were a few butherfaces at Krysis but nothing I went for. Nothing to my liking at the Dungeon but my wingman did session with a thick Dominican girl from here. Did see a Colombian chica I had previously but she didn’t warrant a repeat session. Was looking for an open MP on Sun. during early afternoon and found Muses open. Was surprised to find a cute Nica with a tight body named Gina. Very good oral skills. Offered BBBJ for an extra 5,000 Colones but I declined as I had enough with attempts at upselling this trip. Overall a good session. As I was walking around I noticed a lot of cute Ticas sitting in the various parks. My wingman is more talkative than me but he had gone back to the States by this point. I’ve been meaning to try the non-pro girlfriend thing, so maybe next trip. As I stated in a previous post, avoid the newest MP, Hotel G near HLH, unless you fancy a tranny!

As for strip clubs, I didn’t find the selection at Alcasar to be very good. I did have a good time a Le Grillon where I had a decent session with a big booty Dominican chica. My wingman went with a cute morena Tica with breast implants who approached him. I warned him about girls who approach a guy but she was cute so he went upstairs with her. Turned out to be a bad session(no BJ because she didn’t like the way the condom tasted, etc.) but for 15,000 Colones at least it was a less expensive lesson learned for him.

Don’t know when my next trip will be. Going into saving mode to open up a business hopefully in the near future. Will most likely go to a different country when I do travel. Probably Colombia or back to the Dominican Republic. Asia is on my to do list as well.

Many independent girls(at the Del Rey, Key Largo, and Sportsmans) will take Colones, even if they quote the price in US. I have found that the Colombianas have been less willing to take Colones and prefer dollars. Colones can be used to pay bar and restaurant bills whereever you will go. Colones can be withdrawn from ATMs at the airport, the INS building which is down the block from the SL or the Banco de Costa Rica, down the block from the Kel Largo, across from the Morazon hotel. There will be small fee, usually a small percentage of the amount you withdraw, plus whatever your bank charges as a foreign currency/ATM fee. Good places to exchange dollars into Colones are the 2nd floor of the airport(not the first floor), the Sportsman's Lodge and Del Rey (490-500 Colones per dollar Labor Day Weekend). To exchange at the airport go through immigration, go past the baggage claim and exit towards the taxi stands. Walk across the street, go up the escalator and enter into the departure area. Make a right and walk past the departure tax stands and you will see a small booth for Banco De Costa Rica. Avoid the exchange booths on the first floor of the airport as you will not get a good rate. The ATM at the Del Rey gives US currency up to $200 per transaction and does not charge a fee, although your bank may. The Banco De Costa Rica across from the Hotel Morazon also gives US currency.

Costa Rica Blush has published a comprehensive mongering guide, which can be obtaind for a fee($19.00 when I bought it about 5 months ago).

[Lopkx]

I have been both two San Jose and Sosua, in the past I have noticed many similarities and difference. Many friends one time or another have asked me to explain the difference. So i will compare IMHO.

--------------------------winner

Cheapest all round trip ----Sosua

Best Hotel variety and options ----San Jose

Quality of girls ----Tied

More light skinned ----San Jose

More dark skinned ----Sosua

More tourism options ----San Jose (due to all the nearby natural wonders & SJ itself is a big city)

Hardcore pros ----San Jose

Most likely to have GFE ----Sosua

More English Speaking ----San Jose

More Cross Dressers / Trannies ----San Jose

Someone might want to compare San Jose, CR versus Santo Domingo, DR. I recommend if you have chance visit all locations to get a perspective and variety.

[MrBoring37]

San Jose also has more casinos!

[MrBoring37]

I love the freelance scmongering scene its the best

I been to San Jose, Costa Rica, sosua DR, and Rio in brazil! What country should I go next that has a awesome latin caucasian or indian freelance scene that's inexpensive!

Is there a different country with a cheaper and bigger freelance scene out there available?

[Bunda Man]

Also wanted to mention that Idem had a nice selection as well as 20-30 girls. Went in early evening on a Saturday. However, for 31,000 Colones there are cheaper options.

New Fantasy now has a small bar, stocked with beer and liquor. I didn't buy anything so I am not sure about prices. Didn't notice any chairs, barstools, or anywhere to sit.

[MrBoring37]

I love the freelance mongering scene!!!The Free lance scene is the best venue out of all venues in my opinion but it also it drawbacks as well. Anyways.

Thats very helpful, thanks. I understand Costa Rica Ticas site also has a newbees guide. Any idea if those two are similar? I was thinking of getting the CRT one, since it comes with the VIP membership card.

[Resortweek]

I would be grateful for suggestions to a traveller who wants to avoid the "pick up" scene and is not price sensitive. My last vacation to CR included an overnight at the CrownPlaza, followed by a few days at Los Suenos Marriott (Jaco) and then a Marriott near the airport in SJ, and no Chicas. Are there reliable escort services in which you can arrange for someone to visit an upscale hotel rather than going to a bar? I read warnings here that arrangements in advance for extended or overnight visits are risky. I am visiting the weekend of Oct 8th and will post a report even if I strike out. All advice welcome.

I've used it on hotel rooms and MP's. And the info provided on the website is invaluable.

Why not get both, total of about $58.00 for a year CRT VIP membership and the CRB guide. As previously mentioned, CRT's VIP card pays for itself, in the first visit IMHO. In fact, my last two trips I was given a 20% discount on my room for a four night stay at the SL. You also get 10% of all restaurant and bar bills at the SL. CRT has a newbie section and massage parlor list as well as a great map that every monger she be armed with. CRB is free(just have to register). Their extensive guide is very good IMHO and includes great photos of landmarks and the buildings where the mongering destinations are located.

[Darmstadter]

I love the freelance mongering scene!!!The Free lance scene is the best venue out of all venues in my opinion but it also it drawbacks as well. Anyways.Try Panama. I've been there many times and my first trip to costa rica will be this November.

I'm a spanish beginner... Feel like I have a bit of a handle on basic puntering phrases, but would appreciate fellow mongers' help on some of the more nuanced phrases:

Suck my balls
Such my asshole
(Don't) Put a finger in my ass
Spread your (ass)cheeks
Put a finger in your ass
Lets do cowgirl
Turn around
I want to watch your ass
I want to come in your mouth

If someone can point me to a collection of mongering phrases for beginners, that'd be awesome. Don't think I saw anything (except a very small article) on costa rica blush or costa rica ticas. I found this site for mexican spanish sex phrases, which I am assuming will work in CR, even if its not exactly the same

Sorry for posting to this section, but the CR forum doesn't have a spanish phrases section. And needless to say, thanks in advance for the help.

Just arrived to SJO, staying at La Amistad. Arrival was uneventful, except my shuttle booked thru orbitz messed up their schedule and were waiting for me at a different hour. Fortunately, there was a representative waiting for someone else, and the problem was quickly resolved, I was on my way to the hotel 20 mins after arriving.
Gray Line shuttle service gets my recommendation.

Arrival at La Amistad:
Lobby staff was helpful and they speak clear english(my native is spanish, but theirs seems to english), unfortunately my room wasnt ready when I arrived. They stored away my storage and since it wasnt a problem for me waiting for the room, stayed at the bar killing time, so I started writing this report. Will get back once I get my room to give my rating.
Girl action:
Bar was dead, only 1 gringo speaking with a girl that definately looked like a pro. Will wait for darkness to fall....
Over and out

I want to watch your ass

I want to come in your mouthChupe mis huevos.

Chupe mi culo; come mis cacahuates

No aplique su dedo en mi culo cabrona

Abre ancho los pompis

Aplique su dedo en su culo como un doctor

Hace la vaquera; Montarme como una vaquera en el rodeo nena

Gueltale

Quiero ver su culo como esta veindo una pelicula

Tome mi leche, es rico para ti y tiene muchas vitaminas

Your post seems to imply that you are expecting girl action in the bar at La Amistad. That's not go to happen. You have to bring the action home. Take a walk down the block to Sportsmans

Not at all, I did my homework on that part! :-)!! Now let me write my first report about SJO

[GauntMan]

Had a very nice meal at the lobby bar, seafood, the plate is called Fruites del Mar or something like that(Fruits of the Sea), Spaghetti with all kinds of seafood, mussles, shrimp, squid, octopus, you name it, absolutely great IMHO, all that sided by an ice cold Imperial, Costa Rica's national beer, very good beer(Im no beer specialist!)

Grabbed Google maps and a local map, asked a few directions and took a cab ride to the infamous HDR.
All the reading in the forum could not prepare me for the shell shock that I receive upon entering. It was 330pm and the girl rate was like 3 girls to 1 man. Did a scouting of the area, mostly ticas from what I saw, a couple solid 9s.
The Eye of The Gauntman fell upon a petite tica, honey eyed, short brown hair, sexy freckles. Exchanged eye contact, but she hoooked with a friend whow wasnt that bad but I had already choose the sacrifice.
Invited both a couple of beers to break the ice, names Maria and Jackeline. Maria was a little chubby but very likeable face, dark hair. Had very good rapport and then settled down for business.
Initial asking was $100 for 1 hour or $150 both for 1 hour, which I declined and proceeded to counter offer, since I didnt have time for TLN since Im on business tonight, offered $50 for 1 hour and both agreed. Had to very diplomatically decline Maria and took Jackeline back to my place. Cab ride is 1000 colones back and from HDR.
Inquiring more about Jackeline, found out she has 2 kids but she doesnt looks like that AT ALL. Session was great, started out with small rub and then on to action. Missionary, doggie, side of the bed, the whole frickin olympics with cover.
Since I didnt finish, she removed the globe and proceeded to BBJ. Completed the deed happily and paid her the cab ride back to HDR.
Have digits for both Maria and Jackline for Sr members.
Day 1 isnt finished yet.....
Over and out

First..there are several ways to say each..I will provide you with only one, and will split the diference between clear and polite.

Suck my balls- Por favor, chupame los lluevos. (llameme if you want to substutite lick for suck)
Such my asshole- Por favor, chupame el culo.
(Don't) Put a finger in my ass- Por favor, no pon tudedo en mi colo (o ano, more clinical though)
Spread your (ass)cheeks- Abralo tu culo
Put a finger in your ass- Ponte el dedo en tu culo, por favor.
Lets do cowgirl- Not sure how this one :)
Turn around-de un veulto..
I want to watch your ass- Qiesiera mirar tu culo
I want to come in your mouth- Te Quisiera terminar (quisiera darte mi leche) en la boca
