View Full Version : San Jose General Reports
I think in terms of quality the Dunn Inn or one of the better suites in the Sportsmens Lodge would be your best option.Says the Sportsmens Lodge / CRT employee.
The Amistad is probably the nicest monger friendly hotel in the gulch, and has a ridiculous promo going on at $79 all inclusive (room / food / booz / laundry, etc).
HLH is another solid option with posh rooms from $59 up, each comes with a free half hour session.
SL is a decent hotel, but it is over represented by its employees. Dunn Inn has fairly nice accommodations, but it's always empty and boring.

I like the Sportsman but it is not a 4 or 5 star hotel, on its best day, in its best room, in the best light. Hence those looking for such should look elsewhere. Nor is Hotel Little Havana, nor is La Amistad. In general, world-wide, with Costa Rica not being an exception, there are few true 4 star hotels that cater to our tastes. Life is a series of compromises.

You should look at the suites in hotels mentioned below. I think Sportsmen is the priciest of the bunch. La Amistad's suite is very nice, but it doesn't do it for me since they don't have any girl whatsoever. It's a very good deal as Jonsie mentioned, but he'll, I like to look and chat with chicas when I'm drinking. Not at a bar that has only guys around. Dunn is the same way. Little Havana has very good suite too with steam and dry sauna. There are girls at the bar too. I think you get an hour free instead of 30 min if you are staying at one of the suites too.

The rooms are excellent in quality, so it's a good deal. The thing about the SL is the cheaper rooms are older and get the noise from the bar. The newer suites a very nice. I think either option, suite in the Mansion wing at SL or a room at La Amistad are great options for the OP who said he wanted a nice place to stay. The Dunn Inn is not bad either, and all three places have restaurants comparable to the former News Cafe at the Presidente Hotel.
La Amistad's suite is very niceAnyone know of studios or one bedrooms relatively near the gulch that are economically priced? Preferably something outside of a hotel

You can check on booking. Com for the Inca Real or hotels. Com for Hotel Europa, and get something for about $40 a night. Rooms at the Europa are not all that great, but the beds are comfortable and you can take hookers there. FYI- Vast majority of the properties on those website, however will not let you bring girls to the room.
If you are looking for a suite, then its going to cost close to $100 a night. There are some options for long-term, monthly stays but YMMV.
Anyone know of studios or one bedrooms relatively near the gulch that are economically priced? Preferably something outside of a hotelThere are two sections in Hotel Europa. One is regular hotel with nice rooms. Other is like a condo with units having bedroom, living room and kitchen. When I stayed there I paid $30 for a condo unit. It is cheaper than the hotel unit. Only problem is some condos are nicer than others. You need to go see the units available before you decide.
In the Hotel unit they are very strict allowing only one girl to go up with you at a time. Cedula is a must. With the condo section there is a guard at the entrance. If you tip him, he will allow any number of girls even without cedula. But I caution you not to take any girls without cedula. There is a separate pool there where you can frolic with the girls. One unit I stayed in was really nice on the ground floor next to the pool. Even my rental car is protected there as there is 24 hour guards outside.
La Amistad is a three minute walk from the bar at the Sportsmens Lodge. The rooms are excellent in quality, so it's a good deal. The thing about the SL is the cheaper rooms are older and get the noise from the bar. The newer suites a very nice.

To clarify, you can bring girls to the rooms at the Dunn Inn and Amistad but they can't hang out in the bar, restaurant, etc? It's not a deal breaker but I like to maximize my Chica time in fantasy land.

It's not a deal breaker but I like to maximize my Chica time in fantasy land.I do not think you will have any problem, bringing a date to the restaurant at the Dunn Inn and I know for sure no problem at La Amistad. The rule is the girls are not allowed to hang out there, looking for dates. So, you pick up the girl at the nearby Sportsmens Lodge or hike down to the Del Rey.
The girls in these photos are bartenders at the Sportsmens Lodge. However the photos are of rooms and food at the La Amistad. They are running an all inclusive deal where you get three meals and the room for a flat rate, I think between $79 and $129. Better rooms at Amistad come with spas and saunas (in-room private). You can add food for your girl for $50 a night, if you like. However, I don't usually encourage guys to feed the girls. It has negative long-term consequences.

I won't deny I laugh hysterically when I see you stirring up the shortbus kids on crt. I even giggle when they accuse me of doing it. But just as my sick sense of humor takes pleasure in your efforts to relieve your boredom at their expense, I get equal pleasure in watching Dan control the hall passes on crt. Like you, he's not a bad guy in real life.
With his new found admin access, he aims to make some crt guys pay for what he went through on the playground.
What on earth was Bill thinking.I agree that Daniel is not a bad guy, but he's also somebody that I would not want in charge of my personal information if I was a paid member of CRT (which I'm not).
That really is the main point here. Tommy sold his trusting members out for presumably for some quick cash from Bill and suddenly it has become a dog and pony show with a former CRT enemy (being the owner of CR Blush which was overwhelmingly hated by CRT members) as the new Admin of the forum.
This thing will crash and burn without you, Jonesie.

I remember a monger friend that was staying upstairs next to the dumb waiter shaft that led to the bar.
He was so drunk that he could not come down to the bar and wanted his girlfriend (HaHa) to come up to his room, he was yelling down the shaft for her.
This went on for about a half hour.

Despite what you may think, Jonesie is my only username on the internet. Time constraints force me to live vicariously through Rodnee / Samba Sam / Vegan Bob /Rrandy44 / et al. He has the time to dedicate to such silliness. I'm of the opinion he targets guys who take themselves too seriously and gets amused at the reactions he gets from a few well placed comments. Maybe I'm childish for thinking it's funny, but I'd bet if guys didn't freak out over it, he'd probably get bored and do something else.
Jonesie's alter ego?
Jonesie's alter ego?For sure it's him.
Thanks for cancelling my life time membership to your site that I paid for, so you know I also cancel the credit card I used, I would of pm you on your site but since this is the way you treat paying members I posted it here, say hello to vegan bob, randy444 and the rest of your crew.
Either way should be fine. I'd suggest one lucky dogg. Quite often the airport taxis don't know where the boutique monger hotels like Amistad are. And you spend half the night wandering around while the goofball looks for your hotel. Plus, Sid can give you information about most things you might want to do while you're here, whereas an airport taxi will just try hustle you into whatever benefits him. But my personal favorite is having someone holding a poster with my name on it when I'm walking outside.

Please let me know.SJO to almost all downtown hotels are about $20-$30 depending on the cab driver. It is safe to use a cab. Just ask to put the meter on (ponga la maria, por favor) or negotiate a flat fee before you get on the cab. Usually pickup service charges extra $5 or so, but gringo operated service is an option if you want to arrange a ride prior to your arrival.

Hi all,
I went down for a long weekend over Memorial Day, and had a pretty good time all around. I hung around Hotel Little Havana most of the time. The lineup was pretty good, with Valentina being the cutest new girl, a dirty blonde spinner. Saturday HLH had a party; the highlight was one of the girls (Karen) doing a Sybian show. Jeff of HLH actually posted a party schedule for the rest of the year. Never been to CR over Halloween, maybe this is the year to give it a try. On Saturday night a bunch of us rented a room at Casablanca. We had a good time. Most of the locals were college age. We wisely asked a bunch of Sportsman's and HLH girls to party with us, which made it a very nice party indeed!
We hung out at the Mona Lisa a few nights as well. It's a decent late night destination, but no girls. Their restaurant has worked very hard to establish a reputation of consistently serving lousy food. My recommendation. Don't go over there if you are hungry!
If you call paying for a lifetime membership to a monger site then having it canceled by the jerk who owens the site, pretty clear that you are in fact just a different name that Jonesie is using.
Since he was banned from CRT he is using his made up names here to try to [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) off members here, I am sure it won't be long for the same to happen here, hey Jonesie you are running out of sites to harass people.
You can keep my $40 and trust me I won't step foot in hlh on the days you are working. Go get some truly need help.

The only meter cab you'll find directly outside of the airport are the official airport taxis, the other guys hanging around are piratas with normal cars. To get a regular red taxi with a meter you'd have to go out to the road. Cheapest way for you would be to talk to the pirata guys outside and indeed 25 is a normal price for them.

Can someone please tell me how much should I expect to pay for cab from SJO airport to LaAmistad hotel. Also I will land pretty late in the evening, Is it safe to cab or arrange for hotel pickup event though it might be expensive? Please let me know.Cab fares vary because of the time of day, traffic and the route the taxista take. Normally it's going to run you $25. $35.
For ISG brothers I give a $5 discount on $35 pickups, so it's $30. Dropoff to SJO from San Jose are $30. $5 discount for a total of $25.
I always have cold beer for my guys when they arrived, sim cards, Free cell phones to use and we can even stop at Walmart to get supplies if they need it.
All month of June I have had a "Let Her Ride!" for free special, where I will pick up your favorita in San Jose, Heredia or Alejuela to meet you at the airport. You can not get this service from a regular taxista. Also, Gringo raise, gringo spoken. Come on down. What are you waiting for?

One time at the Del Rey this girl walked up to me and asked me for a drink, I said no. Then she asked me for $10! Straight up, as if I was a walking ATM! I said fuck no.
Anyway, how do you handle these situations? Sometimes no doesn't send them on their way.

My advice for you would be to go off the beaten path into the smaller massage places. There are several of them.
Whatever you do don't go into one of these places with another gringo. It will ruin your negotiating power.
Prices were roughly $35/40. I wouldn't pay anymore. Sessions were boring to decent but nothing amazing. Quailty of chicas was below average compared to other destinations that charge the same price.
I am not a fan of CR.
I was in SJ last about 3 years ago.
Hola Artisttype. Thanks for the info on the streetwalker scene. Doesn't sound too inticing. I recently had a flight on Frontier Airlines to Denver. They were offering a new credit card and throwing in 40, 000 frequent flyer miles for signing up. They only fly to San Jose in Central America. But its a free flight.
This is an interesting phenomenon I've noticed as well. They go to the Rey specifically to panhandle. They ask for 5k colones, figuring enough stupid gringos will give them money so they won't have to actually fuck anyone for money.
When you give these girls money for nothing, you reinforce their assumption that all gringos are stupid and gullible.

You probably think it's normal for taxi drivers to sell drugs in Costa Rica as well. I take taxis every day for years, as I live in San Pedro, and I am almost never ripped off. Funny how that works. Like I said there are way more honest taxis than scammers. Next time you need a taxi at Del Rey, flag one down that is driving by and when your little puta complains you're not using her friend, you can use that built up hate of yours to tell her to fuck off.

C'mon be honest-How many times are the TABS padded by the bartenders-Seen it myself numerous times-Even saw once where the bartender tried to make the guy pay twice for the same tab. Fucin' drink prices are ridiculous compared to other bars-And another time I saw the putas and bartenders work together to scam a drunk guy on his tab-Did I help him-Fuc' no he's an idiot who should read this site-I'm not his caretaker-All Hardcores on bothsides of the bar-I'll take the Pensions and the local bars-Instead of that Tourist Trap

I am just trying to make an easy list to follow, instead of having to read every post.I appreciate when we have a 1 stop shopping post for info for people who are new to a mongering location.
I am planning a first trip here in August. I've been reading the forums, but am looking for a report that walks a newbie through their first visit. From landing atbthe airport, paying the entry surcharge, exchanging $, transportation to the hotel, hotel selection, chica locations, prices, options, food, non mongering options, etc.
Tijuana has one called brocton otools guide. Sosua, dr, had a similar report. Your lost of hotels, prices, availibility is a piece of the puzzle. Wondering if there is already something similar to what I am looking for. Reading all the forums have answered many questions, but I still have a few that I'm not sure about.
My main question right now, deals with hotel selection. I would like a hotel in the center of the action, so I could walk to the major places for take out chicas to my hotel. I'm leaning to sportsmans over del ray, but would like to shop in yhe del ray bar too. Are they walking distance to each other? If not, which one has other chica takeout options near by? The maps I saw did not seem to have both on the same map.

Not a classy joint, but a place to get the deed done with no questions asked. There is no entry fee; you pay an exit tax ($29) when departing.

Built into the price of the ticket, but now airlines are required to disclose all the fees. Surprise surprise, CR gets you coming and going.
At all of the chica friendly places you can bring a girl in, just a matter of how much. There are certain memberships out there that will lighten that load in certain places. Maybe the Morazon is an exception but a little too much on the dumpy side for me. If you are not picky about your lodging, that would be the place. Freebird also, but it's not a hotel, an old house fixed up to dormitory standards.

here's the kicker: prices are incredibly reasonable. with my crt discount, i paid a total of $400 for my current 10-day stay. that's $40 per night, all taxes included. on top of all this, dennis is a really nice guy and a very helpful and gracious host. although he seems to have settled down somewhat, he is essentially "one of us." no chica fees, of course!

Since glowing reviews frequently generate distrust and cynicism on this and other boards, I want to stress that I have no vested interest whatsoever in the Hotel Freebird. I do consider Dennis to be a friend. I also don't think it is necessarily the best choice for first-time visitors. Much easier for newbies to bond and hook up with fellow mongers at places like the Sportsmens Lodge and HLH. The Freebird is better suited for San Jose vets who know the scene and desire a more laid-back, less-expensive quality option.

Can any one give me some advice on places that are open during the day in San Jose for short time service?Anthony, you can take a chica to a short time room called Asia. It's $10 and only a stones throw away from the Rey. Any Del Rey lady knows where it is. For a nicer and longer venue, take a cab to Motel Eden. Jacuzzi tubs, beer and liquor service for about $25 for 4 hours. It's on ruta #32. Again, the ladies and taxis will know where it is.

Is the Mona Lisa hotel closer to Sportsmen Lounge & Amistad?At the Amistad you can almost hit the S. L. With a rock. The Mona Lisa is 4 blocks away. Both are in the Gulch and great places to stay. The $79 all inclusive at the Amistad is hard to beat. I have many clients who have stayed at the Amistad. Not one has complained about train noise. The train is so short, (about 3 cars) you don't notice it. Only hear complaints about the train from people who have not stayed there. I'd give it a try. After the 1st night, if you didn't like the train noise, move to the Sportsman, Mona Lisa or Hotel Little Havana.

No chica charge?Armistad is a nice place. I haven't stayed there, but walked through it and have heard several good comments about it. As a first timer and walking, you might look into the Hotel Morazan. If you can get a good room, with no odor, then it's cheaper and closer to everything, I. E. One block to DR, and 2 or 3 blocks to restaurants, supermarkets, pedestrian street. I hear that they are finally starting some more upgrades there, but the night noise is one of the biggest problems, but I handle it fine. Noise from traffic on the street side and from late night bands at Key Largo / Del Mar in the inside rooms. Many guys here say that they will never stay there again for various reasons. I have only had one problem with a room and will not take that room again.
You should get it between $50-$60 / night, with free breakfast, free in-room safe, cable, a /c, free wi-fi (off / on) , no fridge, no guest charges, Beers are about 850c-900c compared to about twice that at DR.

I agree La Amistad is a very good place to stay and food is very good. Train was a big issue for me when I stayed last year because of the horn at 6:00 am. Didn't care for that at all.
$79 all inclusive sounds good, but I thought breakfast was already included? Also, are there girls there now? They weren't there when I was there. Don't think I'll be there drinking with a bunch of guys in CR. That defeats the whole purpose of going to CR for me. Plus, I'm out wondering around by afternoon. Don't think I'd be going back there just to get my free dinner while I'm on vacation, but hey that's just me. I rather get some discount on the room and call it good. To each his own.

Here's another guys post from a CR board.
After spending some time at Bar Idem during the evening of the last Thursday in June to see if my friend Karen was available (she was occupied) , I decided to take a taxi to the Pirate Club to check out the scene. I've been there a number of times in the past, mainly to session with a petite flaca named Tricia who had a delightful set of very large naturals. Anyway, I arrive at the Pirate Club around 8pm to discover I hadn't any small bills left to pay my taxista, who claimed he couldn't even break a c10,000 note. So I rush into the essentially empty club and request cambio to pay my driver. This request went over like a lead balloon. The young female bartender and a middle-aged to elderly battle axe with reddish hair who must have been a manager huffed and puffed and eventually decided to convert my c10,000 note into two c5,000 notes. Not very anxious to pay my driver what amounted to $10 or so US for a $2 dollar ride, I politely requested some smaller denominations. They refused! Frustrated, I then just ordered the Bavaria Gold I was going to order in the first place, and, presto, my change rapidly appeared. I went outside to pay my driver and came back in to drink my beer, anxious to get the hell out of this place. Needless to say, the mood was broken! The only lady who seemed available came over and sat down next to me. She was friendly but not at all my type. When I mentioned to her in my semi-fluent Spanish that I'the been in here a number of times and didn't appreciate the rude treatment, the afore-mentioned battle axe overheard me and proceeded to give me a lecture in decent English about the need to always have small bills to pay the taxistas! I just gave her a sarcastic smile, chugged my remaining beer and fled. Not sure I'll ever be back. At best, this place is hit or miss and can be somewhat of a pain in the ass to get to, as I've encountered a number of taxi drivers who didn't know where it was. And I've never been very impressed with the attitudes and demeanor of the staff. I'm referring to the bartenders and management, not the working ladies.

I was in San Jose last week for 3 days, Friday Saturday and Sunday and had the absolute worst time. A lot of fat ugly hags and very few true sweethearts.
I am not looking for love at the Del Rey but I am looking for someone who is open, friendly, warm and not about rushing to the bedroom. Perhaps it was bad luck as in the past I had a lot of luck. It does seem to me though that the talent has declined significantly compared to even four years ago. I did find a few good ones at the Del Rey but it was a hassle, and alot of the time I felt bothered by the girls as they wouldn't just leave me alone to find a good looking girl!
The girls at the Sportsmen were better, a little more friendly and outgoing and I had a better time with them. I didn't go to any MPs. I have tried a few places and have to say Colombia and Curacao are better both in terms of things to do and girls.
Paid $100 at the Del Rey and $80 at Sportsmen roughly. They need to implement a door tax of some sort to keep ugly hags out, I can get a 200 lb black chick here in Canada, I don't need to pay for that! I pay for small cute spinners.

07-18-13, 14:31
What say you Mr. OReilly? You are corrected. When I first came here 10 years ago, the average Tica was smaller. We had a few McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Burger Kings but now we have all the delicious restaurants for the pickings. Taco Bell, Popeye's, Carl Jr. Hooters, Outback, Applebees, TGIF, Tony Romas and even Cinnabon. (love me some Cinnabon). Due to better education with more English speaking, there are more women in the workforce than there were 10 years ago. Standard of living has increased, more cars are being bought, therefore access to the restaurants. So your assumption is correct.
With a population fast approaching 5 million, there is still tons of beautiful women and a good quality of spinners in Ticalandia. I know because of the business I am in, I see it almost every night 1st hand. I get updated photos of a lot of the chicas. I think that maybe now in San Jose, you have to be a little more patient but not much. The chicas are more spread out now. Use to. 10 years ago, there was only a few places, now there are hundreds. So, you have to work at it a little. I personally like the way Bill runs the Sportsmen Lodge. The Ticas are less demanding. Mona Lisa is picking up and the M. P. 's of New Fantasy and the HLH has new talent I am told. Of course, everyone knows that Cocal at Jaco Beach has the highest % of Spinners and the really fine ones anywhere around.
As far as the 200 lb chicks, we need those as well. They serve a purpose. I have seen it many times in the past. Here's an example. Our ISG brother, John Doe's, wife of 30 years, left him, took half of his assets and now he's paying alimony. (speaking of alimony, did you hear Ric Flair owes over $32k in back alimony, has to pay up or go to jail?) Anyways, Darlene doesn't look the same as she did when they got married at 16. She's a lot fatter now, boobs have headed south and the plumbing doesn't work so well. John's bud suggest that he get's away for a little while and take a load off. Costa rica sounds like the perfect place. Only a 3.5 hr. Flight from IAH. They book their trip, packed and rady to go. Since it's their 1st time and they know no better, the book the Del Rey. John and the boys walk in and John can not believe his eyes, more women than you can shake a stick at. The go upstairs, shower, change, he puts on his Old Spice and head back down to the bar. John knock back a few Imperials and as alcohol seems to do sometimes, depression sets in. He starts to miss his wonderful Darlene and those pork chops (speaking of pork chops, make sure you try the humongous pork chop at La Amistad. You can thank me later). He spots hefty Maria in the corner and makes eye contact. (big mistake at the Rey. Make eye contact and she's coming over, guaranteed) So, she come over and say's,"Hola papi, where you from?" Then she say's,"Where you staying?" Now the ice is broke. And since brother John self esteem is at an all time low and he think's he can't do any better, Maria is his girl for the next 5 hours. (drinks, dinner, dancing Key Largo and then the $100 p4p 1 hour). It's very true. I see this happen all the time.
I conclusion I say to you Mr. ORielly and others. It is a factor. Do you due diligence upfront, be patient, try new spots and have fun. Good thing about C. R, compaired to other mongering countries, there's something and someone for everyone. He's a few pics of spinners in Costa Rica. See you around the campus.

I was in San Jose last week for 3 days, Friday Saturday and Sunday and had the absolute worst time. A lot of fat ugly hags and very few true sweethearts.
I am not looking for love at the Del Rey but I am looking for someone who is open, friendly, warm and not about rushing to the bedroom. Perhaps it was bad luck as in the past I had a lot of luck. It does seem to me though that the talent has declined significantly compared to even four years ago. I did find a few good ones at the Del Rey but it was a hassle, and alot of the time I felt bothered by the girls as they wouldn't just leave me alone to find a good looking girl!
The girls at the Sportsmen were better, a little more friendly and outgoing and I had a better time with them. I didn't go to any MPs. I have tried a few places and have to say Colombia and Curacao are better both in terms of things to do and girls.
Paid $100 at the Del Rey and $80 at Sportsmen roughly. They need to implement a door tax of some sort to keep ugly hags out, I can get a 200 lb black chick here in Canada, I don't need to pay for that! I pay for small cute spinners.
Oh boy,
Last I checked, you're allowed to do both. Depends on which flavor you prefer.
Cool Report!
Anyone of you is member of ticaland. Com? Any recommendations? Yes or no? Or is it basicall the same as here (I mean same pics etc.)
Thanks buddies,

I pay for small cute spinners.Times are tough all over no matter what bullshit is in the news. Alot of USA airlines are cutting flights I know that personally. Just had a flight to Cen. Am. Cancelled because of "scheduling changes" and had to rebook. Many girls left the Del Rey because the $$ isn't there so alot more competition with a smaller market. The 9's and 10's are few and far between and the fat ones are all over. And their not thick.their fat and think their hot and want $100 US. Only wolves haunt that venue now and fools still pay.
Many of the quality babes went tp Cocal in Jaco where the bigger fools pay 120-150 US.
Buddy just got back from San Jose said HLH was terrible when he went there hardly any girls place was empty whole set-up just turned him off and he was a regular there since the ZONA BLUE days. He was very disappointed.
New Fantasy charges you more because you are a GRINGO--that's a FACT so fuck that place.
Indeed. The only thing that amazes me more than their blatant, racist arrogance, is the blatant stupidity of the idiot gringos that patronize the place.
I want to have contempt for their assumption that gringos are stupid atm machines, it would be much easier if I didn't see gringo after gringo proving them right.

I want to have contempt for their assumption that gringos are stupid atm machines, it would be much easier if I didn't see gringo after gringo proving them right.Apparently they are because even though its been expressed on this forum and many others the GRINGO'S still go there. And you know that that place takes the big chuck of the pie. I went to one pension and talked to the girl about what the cuts are there-She said out of $24 US she gets $10 US now I believe her because the simple fact is she came to my hotel for $15 US afterwards. So I tend to believe her. You know some of the women are getting a little to "mas, mas, mas" there but the great part is.You just move on-Always more turning 18 everyday and their are those who really do Appreciate just making the $$ and not trying to take advantage of the guy because he is a gringo.
And the stupid Gringo's will always exist. Just read the posts on how the Del Rey and Sportmen's are great places. But like I said more for me in the rest of San Jose. Most gringo tourist don't have a clue.

Ticos could not afford to pay $50 / hr, so they only get charged about $36. Lets say an average gringo makes like $2-3K / month after taxes. An average Tico makes like $600-800 / month. They can't be asked to pay the same prices.
Jonesie or Zedman or whomever is complaining about New Fantasy charging gringos more is one of two types: (a) can't afford it or (b) too cheap.
Seriously, if anybody can't afford $50, go to one of the Tico MP's to find your "diamond in the rough". It's only like $15 for a half hour. I travel 2500 miles to find the hottest pussy, not crying about prices or roaming through a herd of cattle to maybe find one hottie; or roll around in dirty sheets and take cold showers. The "gringo" Mp's have the girls and facilities to suit my needs. If you can't afford the prices in CR, go to the Dominican Rep. They only charge like $10 a session in those shacks. And $40 for freelancers. But if you think CR chicas are big, wait till you see the heffers there.
In NF, it's like $14 extra for gringos. Boohoo! Tourists are overcharged all over the world. It's a given; most accept the fact and don't like babies. I see a family of 4 go to Times Square to get a hamburger and pay $100 tab. Nobody leaves crying.

If you are so concerned with the share that the girls get, you always have the option to tip them to bring the amount to an acceptable level. I'd be willing to bet that you have never given a chica a tip in CR in your life. Probably because that's what us stupid gringos do, right? Guys like you don't tip because locals don't tip. Locals can't afford to tip, most can't even afford the price much less a tip. And no matter how much you want to believe so, you are not a local. Don't get me wrong, I don't throw money around freely and without resaon, but when a girl works her ass off (literally) , I have no problem giving her 5K ($10). It doesn't affect me one bit, but will make a difference to her. I don't tip because I feel they don't get enough pay. I tip for good service only. Whatever agreement they have with their bosses is their business. I don't ask because I couldn't care any less.
It's interesting that the guys who complain most about chicas not getting a fair share of the price are the ones who never tip to make up the "shortfall".
$15 to your hotel, huh? I have never hear of any chica in CR going to a guy's hotel for less than $40, and that's low. I've been going since 2005. Please post some pics. I'd love to see this hottie.

Nobody leaves crying.I have been paying the local rate (tarifa para nacionales) .12,000 colones at New Fantasy for several years. If you have to ask the price in English, then you pay the rate for foreigners. If you simply give them 12,000 colones, take it or leave it then they are more inclined to take it. There are plenty of other expats who pay the local rate as well.

I have been speaking in English too. But I don't agree with discrimination so if they charged me more I would boycott that place.
Here's another guys post from a CR board.
After spending some time at Bar Idem during the evening of the last Thursday in June to see if my friend Karen was available (she was occupied) , I decided to take a taxi to the Pirate Club to check out the scene. I've been there a number of times in the past, mainly to session with a petite flaca named Tricia who had a delightful set of very large naturals. Anyway, I arrive at the Pirate Club around 8pm to discover I hadn't any small bills left to pay my taxista, who claimed he couldn't even break a c10, 000 note. So I rush into the essentially empty club and request cambio to pay my driver. This request went over like a lead balloon. The young female bartender and a middle-aged to elderly battle axe with reddish hair who must have been a manager huffed and puffed and eventually decided to convert my c10, 000 note into two c5, 000 notes. Not very anxious to pay my driver what amounted to $10 or so US for a $2 dollar ride, I politely requested some smaller denominations...Hey lets fix this problem you have, You claim you have been seeing Trisha at the Club? Why don't you come to the Club introduce yourself to me personally? Let me buy you a beer I will even get you some change for your Taxi and we can sit down and give you a great Pirate Club experience. You certainly like talking bad about the Pirate, you say you have been there many times? If you come that many times you must like something about the Pirate, so why have never introduced yourself to me? Most people would talk to the owner in person so the owner has a chance to solve any problems a customer may have right?
Then let me give your chance to set the record straight lets try and solve the problem in person. I am inviting you to come to the Club you can respond to me personally here in private we can make an appointment and try to solve your problems Do you accept my invitation? Lets be men and sit and try to find a solution. I will be waiting for your answer. We like our clients to be happy at the Pirate Club.
Football season is just weeks away, tonight the Hall of Fame game and preseason is here, we will be opening on Saturdays and Sundays for college football and the NFL we post regular updates on our FB page.
Football season is just weeks away, tonight the Hall of Fame game and preseason is here, we will be opening on Saturdays and Sundays for college football and the NFL we post regular updates on our FB page.Ahhh football cool. How late do you guys stay open? I tried to stop by a couple weeks ago but the place was closed. I plan on stopping by again as I enjoyed my first visit.
The new TL map will list NF as a clip joint based on this reason.
I would never go into any kind of business in the states that had a pricing structure for white people, and another for other people. But some here would suggest the minorities simply pretend to be white. That's what pretending to be a tico to get out of the clip joint pricing is. It's bullshit, however you describe it.
I have been here in San Jose for a while and I am paying the local rate. I am a gringo and I have never paid more because of it. I have been speaking in English too. But I don't agree with discrimination so if they charged me more I would boycott that place.
First off, any business in CR that has 2 tier pricing is not screwing Gringos; they must charge Ticos less, otherwise they wouldn't patronize the business.Charging gringos more in these mediums is far from necessary. How do we know this? Because the vast majority of the MPs in SJO do not have two tier pricing. In fact NF is the only one I`m aware of that does.
Ticos could not afford to pay $50 / hrNot at all true. Seems you aren`t familiar with the Tico internet forums. Many Ticos are regularly going into NF and places like it paying more than $50, as they are paying "10 rojo" $20 upcharges for extras like bbbj, anal, and msog. There are also some Ticos taking girls out of the Rey for standard prices, as the same forums reveal. A lot of Tech jobs have made their way to CR, Intel and Amazon for example, and there are Ticos around with extra $ to spend.
Lets say an average gringo makes like $2-3K / month after taxes. An average Tico makes like $600-800 / month. They can't be asked to pay the same prices.This is called a non-sequitur, in that your conclusion doesn`t follow from the evidence. Aside from one exception, Ticos and Gringos, at the MPs, ARE paying the same prices all over town. And the Gringo tourist is actually paying way more without any two tier pricing once travel expenses are factored in. And average income in CR takes into account everyone, all rural areas, urban poor, etc. The fact is there are plenty of Ticos in SJO with the money to spend over $50 for sessions, as their discussion forums reveal.
Jonesie or Zedman or whomever is complaining about New Fantasy charging gringos more is one of two types: (a) can't afford it or (b) too cheap.Fallacy of false choice. There`s at least one other option. Some of us choose not to patronize a place that discriminates against Gringos.
Seriously, if anybody can't afford $50, go to one of the Tico MP's to find your "diamond in the rough". It's only like $15 for a half hour. I travel 2500 miles to find the hottest pussy, not crying about prices or roaming through a herd of cattle to maybe find one hottie; or roll around in dirty sheets and take cold showers. The "gringo" Mp's have the girls and facilities to suit my needs.All the MPs in CR nowadays are "Tico MPs,” with one exception, HLH. In fact NF is as "Tico" as it gets. It`s their favorite place, 360 being a close second. And this dilemma you present is a false one. There are plenty of places without two tier pricing that also present some decent lineups. For example 360 is a rival of NF. Many believe it tops it, and there is no Gringo pricing. Relax, Eros, and Idem can also present quality line ups, and all without gringo pricing. This idea that if one rejects NF they are thus stuck slumming on Calle 6 and the like is far from true.
In NF, it's like $14 extra for gringos. Boohoo! Tourists are overcharged all over the world. It's a given; most accept the fact and don't like babies. I see a family of 4 go to Times Square to get a hamburger and pay $100 tab. Nobody leaves crying.And EVERYONE who eats at that Time Square restaurant pays the same price for that burger, irrespective of any racial, ethnic, or national distinctives, so your analogy fails…
been reading a lot of negative posts on cr, so i wanted to chime in with my experience in the beginning of the year (february 2013). this may be dated but my impression is that if you are patient and negotiate properly, great girls and a experience are still to be had. i was leery about posting anything of last because when i came back from my february trip, i received several facebook messages from a girl complaining that one of the board members showed her my report and her pictures. not sure which board, but i suspect it wasn't this site.
so to try to liven things up and steer away from all of the recent negativity, i submit my latest report and pictures. hope everyone enjoys. by the way, fugly haters beware, this being a bunda man trip, i ran the gambit of chicas from hottie to nottie, so proceed with an open mind!
day 1 (tuesday)
upgraded to first class for $260. 00 so my early morning direct flight was comfortable. arrive a few minutes earlier than scheduled, pick up my checked bags, and head straight out for a taxi. come across a driver whose initially offering is $25. 00 after i explain where the freebird is. we hit a lot of traffic in san jose so the ride takes a bit longer than usually. i give the driver a $5 trip when we arrive and walk up to the freebird hotel. check in with dennis who is fresh off a trip to cuba with a chica friend. settle into suite 2 and meet joker99 from crt who is next door in suite 1 chatting with bangbang57. chat with joker and bang for a bit and plan to meet up later in the trip although joker with a girlfriend most of the week. joker gives me some ribbed condoms he has a lot of so i can try them out.
dennis shows me a text message he received from angie, who i hooked up with during my october trip. she's looking to make some money. i usually start out with an mp for my first session but angie's willing to accept 20, 000 colones so that's fine with me. i get settled into the room and angie drops by in about a half hour. i havn't eaten since breakfast on the plane so i invite angie to have lunch at a soda or tico burger. she accompanies me to the hotel colonial to exchange money and since tico burger is across the street we head there. i have the double cheeseburger with ham (aka the heart attack special) , french fries and a taco and angie has a burrito. their food is good and prices are reasonable at about $14 for the two of us. i ended up making tico burger my stop after the del rey on occasion.
back in the room angie is sweet and a lot of fun. as i discussed in detail in my october trip, angie has a phenomenal ass. i start out with daty. she also always some ass play. after she has her o, she gives good covered head as i reach around and finger her. this is my first session however i'm able to hold out much longer than expected. she gets very wet, so the top sheet is soaked. after mish, cowgirl, reverse cg, doggie, spoons, and back to doggie, i finally reach that point after stepping it up to pound mode and after a few more strokes, i pull out, pull off the condom and spray her fat juicy ass. i'm pleased with angie so i get her 25, 000 colones and she confirms i have her cell phone number before she's off.
after picking up a bottle of flor de cana, coca cola and snacks from the mas por menos near the hotel, i get a brief nap in. upon waking it's off to the del rey in search of an early evening session. diana sits next to me at the blue marlin bar and starts up a conversation. she's cute, a flaca, with an affinity for 'mari j'. the selection is decent for a tuesday, however the first several girls i speak two won't come down from cien and aren't offering anything for the extra $20. 00. diana says she'll go for $80. 00 but really wants the cien. i explain that i have no problem paying cien per-se, however i expect certain acts which might be considered by some chicas as extras. i request bbbj and 2 hours for $80. 00 and we agree that i will pay the extra $20. 00 if she comes through and the bbbj isn't a rush job. she agrees and we're off to the room. in the room, she wants to finish her roach, but i don't want her smoking in the room so i send her out to the hotel as my room is down towards the end of the hallway and can't be seen from the street. she offers a hit to me but the extent of my recreational substances is pretty much solely alcohol these days. back in the room, she undresses to reveal a nice little body. perky breasts, and a tight little ass and puss. says she doesn't have kids. bbbj is good. go down on her and the puss is sweet and tight as i get up to two fingers in. after she os, i start with mish. feels so good i don't want to change positions. get her legs up over my shoulder to get as deep as i can. after about fifteen minutes, i have her get on top and she rides good. she squats and gives her calves and thighs a good workout. turn her around into reverse cg so i can watch myself go inside her. doggie is good as well. she doesn't have much in the way of cushioning on her little ass but her great puss makes up for it. turn back to mish and after a while pull out and spray her flat stomach. diana ended up being a lot of fun. could have went either way due to the whole weed thing, but more and more i find that most of the ticas i am with are down to earth and honest. i gave her my facebook profile name and she sends me a friend request and gives me her cell phone number. peruse her facebook page and she has some great photos posted. took some nice photos of my own, gave her $100, and about two hours after meeting her she's on her way.
getting ready to head out to the del rey i'm questioning if i have a third session in me this day. decide to forge ahead and head over to the del rey around midnight. not many people and i do not get a good vibe from most of the girls i spoke with, who were pretty much not coming off from $100. 00. at the front bar i run into marianna, a dominican i have been with a few times. she offered me tln for $150. 00 previously, but i never took her up on the offer. she asks me to take her back and i explain that i am exhausted but that if she will do tln for that price and provide at least two pops, i would take her. she agrees and we make a stop at tico burger before heading to the hotel. in the room we eat after which she plays bachata music videos on her phone as we lay in bed. marianna has always done a serviceable job and this time is no different. to my surprise i'm able to cum a third time this day after marianna rides me good for a while. i'm exhausted so i check the safe and fall to sleep. during the night she hogs most of the bed. i move towards the middle of the bed several times but do not sleep comfortably.
day 2 (wednesday)
in the morning, marianna and i go at it again. she's has one of those great natural dominicana asses so i do her in doggie for a while but can't finish. after she rides me for a while she gives me more covered head and the pulls off the condom and tries to finish me with her hand. her technique is pretty rough and she has rings on so i stop her so bunda jr. doesn't get too chaffed. i take over myself and end up finishing on her face. give marianna her money and get set my clothes out for the day.
place a call to bangbang57 and we meet at the freebird to bus it to paseo colon. casa 360 had a great line in october, so we stop in its vicinity where it's a short walk. line up was not as good as i remember it. mariel, who i had a session with in october, was occupied. adriana, if i remember her name correctly, was a real cutie with a nice body for a flaca. took her for an hour. she wanted a 5, 000 colones tip for bbbj, which i agreed to if she put the effort in. bj was pretty good. i return the favor and she quickly has an o. she was trying to get me off quick during sex, but that wasn't happening since i had three sessions yesterday and a carry over into the morning. adriana has a great ass. i had lots of fun going at it doggy style. make good use of my hour. with about 10 minutes on the clock, i pulled out, jerked it and shot a load on her puss and flat stomach. bangbang had a session as well, but he wasn't very happy with it. bus it back along ave. 2 stopping near the freebird. bang has to head over to amistad to pick up something for a friend and i want to change money at the colonial (495 to 1) and have some work to do so we part ways. i get some work done and take a nap for a few hours.
wake up and head over to the sportsmens for dinner. meet lomo from crt who arrived earlier in the day and chat for a few minutes. word is prices are up at the sl (drinks, food, rooms, etc.). i didn't stay there and didn't inquire so i can't comment on the rooms. if food and drink prices are up, i really didn't notice it. there are a few cuties at the bar but my plan is to hit the del rey early evening. lomo is tired from his trip so he is not down to pop into the dr this night.
at the dr, there are plenty of cuties around but a lot of bad attitudes and refusals to negotiate down from cien. patience was a virtue for me this trip. after a few laps around, i spot kristal, a tica, standing under the railing down the stairs from the blue marlin bar near the back entrance. she's a flaca, not much in the way of a body, but is really cute. she's willing to go for $80. 00 without much of a protest so i head back relatively early for me around midnight. back in the room, i play some cumbia and bachata and chat with kristal. she tells me she's nineteen and has a tico boyfriend. that's all good. however, as i comment about her flaca frame and flat stomach, she volunteers that she is 1 month pregnant. it's a turn off for me, but i stick with her. she undresses to reveal a tight little body. not much to her bj and she doesn't allow daty, so i finger her a bit and go straight to work. her puss is so tight i have trouble entering. couldn't penetrate that far and i popped out a couple of times in mish so i turn her around for doggie and after a while let her get on top to ride. after a while i lay her back down for mish and eventually pull out, jerk it, and deposit my leche on her flat stomach. the sex was pedestrian, however, kristal has a great puss, a cute face and body and was pleasant to hang with. i wish her luck with the baby, give her $80. 00 plus 2, 000 colones for a taxi, and walk her out of the hotel (you cannot enter or exit without the gate code).
day 3 (thursday)
my buddy demetrius 50 on crt gets in today at 2pm. i went to bed early last night, so i wake up in time to check out the del rey for an early session. nice selection around 11am so i sit at the front bar and have a beer. not sure what type of chica i'm feeling today until i am intrigued by a blonde milf that walks in. wendy strikes me as colombian. her big ass and tits are definitely fake but they look very enticing under her black tights and red mid drift shirt. she approaches me at the bar and introduces herself. she says she's tica, but i'm pretty sure she's lying. she talks about how she has lived and worked in the states, including in las vegas and los angeles. her english is very good. these are all signs that usually turn me away, however she was a lot of fun at the bar including, making out, etc. she introduces me to a few hotties who she refers to as her cousins. i keep them in mind for later. wendy of course asks for $100. 00, but i let her know that there is no way i am paying anywhere close to that this early. she agrees to $60. 00 plus a tip if i have a good time.
back in the room we chat and play music. she asks me to play vallenato music, specifically, a colombian singer named jorge celedon. the few songs we played were very nice, but it turns out that would be the only good thing i would get out of this session. at this point she confesses that she is colombia. i let her know that i was aware of that from the moment i met her and that i usually avoid colombianas in cr but i was giving her the benefit of the doubt. we have a couple of shots of flor de cana and she's pretty drunk. wendy's performance does nothing to change my mind about most colombianas at the del rey. i've had a handful of good experiences with a few however as has been written time and time again on the boards, it's definitely the exception to what one can generally expect. she tries to keep her panties on and move them to the side, which is a huge turn off for me. i make her take them off. she gives brief, uninspired covered head. the only redeeming thing about the session was that wendy took a good pounding until i finished in doggie style. she asks for a tip, however, i tell her she should know better than to ask because obviously i'm not happy. give her $60. 00 plus 2, 000 colones for the taxi back to the del rey.
meet up with demetrius 50 at the sportsmens. have a couple of beers and head out to check out the mps. couple of cuties at new fantasy including a talk dark beauty, but we leave for now. the selection at muses and krysis isn't very good. we stop in at hlh. there we run into jonesie who is having lunch. the usual crew of chicas is here, but today jeff has arranged for a sybian and lesbian show on the bar. sammy and camilla head the lesbian show, however they really don't appear to be into it. camilla mounts the sybian but isn't even on long enough to have an orgasm. before an mp run we head over to check out the mona lisa with jonesie. most of the rooms were still being worked on. the lobby and casino are a nice size and welcoming, but it has a long way to go to compete with the del rey.
we head out towards the calle 6 pensions. we hang a left and check out each spot. selection at the first two is bad. third one has a few cuties, however they don't appear happy to be there. i decide to go with a tica who is a bit rough in the looks department but had a great set of natural titties and a nice disposition. at the window, i'm told 7, 000 colones for a half hour and 13, 000 for an hour, which is about 1, 000 more than when i previously sessioned here. the room is atrocious as is typical for calle 6. my chica squats over what passed for a bidet i guess. sheet is stained so i hang my clothes on a hook. she starts with covered head after which i ask her to bed over the bed so i can stand up while i do her to avoid touching the bed. d50 freaked me out with a story about how he came back from a trip with scabbies which the dr. told him was most likely be transmitted from a dirty bed. i sessioned about two hours earlier and not making use of the bed made it uncomfortable after a while, so try as i might, i couldn't get anywhere close to cumming. we leave the room with me dripping in sweat and looking for d50. turns out he took one of the better looking girls who was certainly no ms. congeniality. i stop over at the restaurant and bar before the row of pensions and grab a water. there is also cheap food there and i notice a couple of the rougher looking girls from the del rey sitting at the bar. head back over and d50 is done and ready to go. he says session was bad and that he got adventurous and ventured to kneel on the bed until his knee went into a wet spot! we stop at the del rey to drink. selection is good for mid-day, however, i'm not ready for another yet. after a few drinks we head back to our respective hotels for a nap.
meet up with d50 at sportsmens, where he is staying, for dinner. a couple of cuties around early evening, but we both decide to head over to the del rey. a lot of girls. hard to choose. would end up having a few repeats this trip including this night. as i make my way around the circle, i spot andrea at the side of the blue marlin bar closer to the exit. i was with her almost two years ago during my april 2011 trip, which was one of my better trips. i talk to andrea at the bar. she doesn't seem to recall me. she's a very pleasant girl to talk to and hang with. she has a very friendly disposition. can't neglect to mention how pretty she is. dyed red hair and a pretty face with naturally pouty lips. it's pretty early, around 12:30am, however, i already made up my mind that i want to spend a few hours with her. she's fine with $80. 00 for two hours so we're off to freebird. search out d50 and let him know i'm heading back and may return if i have anything left in me!
back in the room, andrea is a lot of fun. bbbj is good after which i get her little shorts off and get into daty. after she gets off, we start out with missionary. she seems into it. let her get on top and she rides very well. after a while she gets into reverse cowgirl which was a great view. turn her on her side with her tight ass facing me in spoons position as i rub her clit while going in and out of her slowly to assure i enjoy this great experience. we finish up in doggie. as i start to feel the urge i pull off the condom which has really been put to work and finish on her great ass. andrea likes to pose for pictures and requests to wear my fidora while she poses. i give andrea a $20 tip for a total of $100 after spending a great two and a half hours together. i walk her out and text d50 to let him know i'm done for the night. a friend from the boards turned me on to a cool iphone app that allows you to send text messages through a wifi connection. day three in the books. plan to wake up earlier for day 4.
day 4 (friday)
get a good night's sleep and meet up with d50 at sportsmens for lunch. over to hlh for drinks, however happy hour is a far cry from what it used to be and is not held every day. melissa and carol, both formerly of sportsmens, work here now and are always pleasant. we head over to the del rey around mid-afternoon to drink some more. plenty of cuties around. get a couple of $80 offers but decide that it is early and wasn't sure about the vibe from these girls. we end up back at the sportsmens. d50 wants to get a nap in and as he tells me i spot jennifer peeking over towards our table at the back bar from her position by the last courtyard room before the back bar. she has beautiful green / hazel eyes and a pretty caramel complexion. it's around 4pm and my plans with a cute brunette flaca i had my eye on at sportsmens fell through when she had to leave. jennifer is very pleasant to talk too. lomo walks by and looks like he may be interested in her. i ask him but he says he is going to circle around. i'm really feeling jennifer so when she agrees to $80 for a couple of hours we're off to the freebird. i have a passionate 2 hours session with jennifer complete with dfk, bbbj, and daty. she has a great pair of natural knockers and gorgeous face. she has a few os and i really explode when i finish. we both worked up a sweat and i'm ready for a nap myself after i give her $100 including tip and walk her out.
after a refreshing nap i met d50 at the del rey have a beer and head over to chubbs for dinner. it particularly difficult to find spot a free table on friday and saturday nights. we get lucky and after dinner (special marinated spicy chicken for me) and a few beers we head back to the del rey and key largo. as the night goes on i spot the gorgeous leilly from my october trip. she's occupied on her phone and walking in and out so i don't approach her. i also run into natural beauty angelica with a fantastic natural booty, who i was also with in october. i first see her at the blue marlin bar and she gives me a nice greeting. this trip saw me repeat a lot with chicas from my october trip, which is usually not my mo but it worked out to my satisfaction. i keep walking after greeting angelica and eventually make our way over to the key largo. i run into angelica at the back bar and invite her to a few drinks. we end up spending a great night together at the kl drinking and dancing.
we move over to the front of kl with d50 where the dj is and have a seat at a table. after some more dancing and drinking, time goes by fast and it's 2am. i ask d50 if he's seen anything he likes but he wants to head over to the del rey. we walk him over, see him off, and make plans to meet up the next day for his last full day. i ask d50 about what type of chica he's looking for. he looks at angie and says he wants one with an ass like her's. i tell them to exchange contact info so they can hook up later. angelica and i walk over to tico burger for a snack. there is a 'crack head', skinny, shoeless, brunette who patrols the del rey area all hours it seems convulsing and babbling. thought to myself that she would be pretty cute if she wasn't so f'the up. we grab a couple of tacos a burrito and juice drinks from tb before heading out to the stares of the tico patrons. angelica is really looking sexy in a nice blouse, tight jeans showing off that plump firm natural beauty, and a sexy pair of high heels. have one of those moments where i'm in awe, but quickly shake it off and remind myself of the circumstances pursuant to which this relationship is taking place.
back in the room i play some reggaeton and we enjoy our food. after finishing up, angelica slowly gets undressed. top comes off first. her breasts are smaller but cute. next her prize comes out as she slowly removes her jeans bending over more and more as they come down to reveal that crazy booty. all that's left is a sex black lace thong which i remove. our second session together is great. i mostly had her in doggy style since i was loving that as. i was pounding hard as she screamed to give it to her harder, 'duro, duro, papi. ' as i feel it coming on, i pull out, roll off the condom and spray both ass cheeks. i'm spent again and get right to bed after giving her a well-earned $100. 00 and walking her out.
Day 5 (Saturday)
Today is D50's last full day. We meet up with a first timer to CR at the Sportsmens. We take an early afternoon walk through the Del Rey before stopping at my room for a drink (rum and coke with Flor De Cana) and to show them my suite. Make the guys a drink and have a few myself before we head out to Hooters in San Pedro for lunch. Step through the door and are meet by some of the hottest, skimpiest dressed waitresses I have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes upon. Their flirtatious demeanor is just gravy for this experience. The waitress screwed up D50s order royally and the other waitresses and manager who came over to help didn't fare much better even when I translated but contrary to popular opinion we are not here for the wings! The tater tots covered with cheddar cheese and bacon bits are my favorite when I have a lapse in trying to eat healthy. They have everything else you would expect a Hooter restaurant to have except this being Costa Rica Ceviche is on the menu.
After lunch we return to the Sportsmens Lodge. D50 decides to get a nap in. I havn't had my first session today, so Vittorio and I head to the Del Rey. As we are walking the circle, Vittorio gets snagged at the front bar by a pretty Morena. He looks like he's having a great time so I signal that I am going to continue to walk. Not sure what I'm looking for but figuring I will know it when I see it. Low and behold I sport Angie on a stool by the Blue Marlin bar. If Jody Arias went on the lamb to Costa Rica, Angie might be mistaken for her. She's skinnier than I usually prefer but has a pretty face and pouty lips. Not much of a personality to Angie but she has a unique look and is willing to go to the room for $80. 00 so I figure I'll give her a try. Back in the room Angie is lacking sexual energy. Nevertheless, she undresses to reveal a great body for a flaca. I get her going a bit with DATY. She has a great puss, tasty and tight. She's not very active during our time, however, I do the work and she is a good sport about taking it. I go at it for a while. After over an hour we go through all of the positions I pull out, take the condom off and spray her pussy lips
I typically refrain from discussing the girls' personal life in debt, however, Angie volunteers that she doesn't really like working at the Del Rey (I. E. Getting banged by gringos) but she likes the money. Certainly not a groundbreaking revelation. Angie poses for a few pictures after which I give her $80 and 2, 000 Colones for the taxi back to the Rey, and walk her out. I get in another nap before meeting up with D50 for his last night.
After dinner at Chubbs its back to the Del Rey. Selection this night is not as appetizing. Its feeling like one of those nights where I'll be walking the circle many times over until I settle on a companion. There are enough cuties, but they all have bad attitudes. We check out the Key Largo, but it's not much better. D50 ends of leaving with one half of the Nica sister duo again so he can wake up early and possibly hit New Fantasy before heading to the airport. Sitting at the Blue Marlin bar, I spot Camilla who I was with in October. She's very sweet. Not the best looking, but a good time all around. She's wearing a very nice back mini skirt and sitting on a stool at a table across the bar. After looking around a bit more, I decide to approach her. She remembers me and says that she didn't approach me because she didn't know if I wanted to be bothered. We catch up and agree to go back to the room at around 3am for a few hours for $80. 00. BBBJ and DATY is on the menu. Make my now obligatory stop at Tico burger for a few tacos and a fruit punch and catch a taxi in front of the Rey back to the Freebird. Camilla is extremely relaxed, and in no rush, after making herself comfortable on the bed. She asks me about New York City because she is from there. Turns out she met an Italian guy from the City who is talking about getting her out of the program. He calls while we were on our way to the room, but she doesn't answer. I tell her about life in the NYC area, but don't have the heart to tell her that chances are things won't work out in the long run as its not my business or place to do so.
The BBBJ and sex are very passionate. Camilla goes crazy for DATY and leaves a huge wet spot on the bed. She likes to cuddle afterwards and about two and a half hours later I see her off with her money and taxi fare. Another pretty good day in the books. Not looking forward to tomorrow (Sunday since D50 is out and its usually a very slow day).
Day 6 (Sunday)
Wake up early around 10am to see D50 off from Sportmens. We have breakfast and D50 contemplates heading over to New Fantasy but decides he doesn't have enough time. See my good friend off and head over to the Del Rey. Surprising number of cuties around for a Sunday afternoon, but I'm not in the mood to pay evening prices so early. As I'm making the circle I turn and almost walk into a morena cutie. She's a Tica accountant assistant who lives, works, and studies in San Jose. While far from drop dead gorgeous, she is a very friendly and seemingly genuine chica. She's off today and looking to make some extra money. I let her know that I'm not going to pay $100 or $80 at this hour and that I'm thinking $50 but to save us the unpleasantness of negotiating and discussing taxi money, etc. I will pay $60. 00 for two hours with BBBJ and DATY. She's happy with that and off we go.
My new friend likes the room and makes herself comfortable, first by getting undressed. Her body is nothing special, but her green eyes are mesmerizing and she is a lot of fine. She keeps her word on the BBBJ and has good skills, including deepthroat and plenty of ball work. After my BJ she pulls out her lube. I let her know she won't need that and start in with DATY. After her O, we end up on 69 and I get some ass play in o her. Sex is very passionate and we run the gammit of positions before I pull out in mish put it in her mouth for a bit and then spray her face. She's very happy with $60 plus 2, 000 Cs for taxi, which she didn't request but I volunteered. As I walk her out we run into Dennis, who immediately comments on her gorgeous eyes. See her off and go back to the room to get a nap in.
Get a good nap in and wake up recharged for the night. Head over to the Sportsmens where I hang drinking until closing. Bartenders are cute and a lot of fun. Couple of cute working girls around, but I decide to hold out for the Rey. Taxi over a bit after Midnight. Selection is nice for a Sunday night. Run into Jonesie who is at one of the casino tables. He finishes up and we run the circle a few time to take in available chicas. Those who know him or view his reports and pictures know that he favors flacas for the most part. As we take the circle, those are the types of chicas getting his attention and recommendation. I don't mind flacas once in a while, but on this night I'm looking for someone with a bit more meat on her. After a few laps, Jonesie decides that I'm never going to pull the trigger and that he is going to retire for the night. We make plans to meet up at HLH for a final MP run tomorrow morning. A few minutes later I spot Ivannia near the two tables closest to the BM bar. She's a flaca with a nice little booty and what struck me as an Eastern European looking face. She starts out at $100 but quickly goes down to $80, with BBBJ and DATY. I'm really feeling Ivannia and she seems nice enough so even though its fairly early for me to pull at 12:30am, we head back.
Back in the room, Ivannia undresses to reveal a gorgeous body. The BBBJ is nice. She has pouty lips, a great ass for a flaca, and her puss is scrumptious. It takes me forever to cum, however she's a great sport and takes a good pounding. My favorite was when I was watching myself in the mirror while banging her doggystyle. Eventually I pull out and jizz on that great ass of hers. One day left but another great night in the books.
DAY 7 (MONDAY)
Arrive at HLH around Noon to find Jonesie eating lunch. I get the quesadillas, which are very good. Jeff, one of the partners gets in and has a conversation with Jonesie about the low food sales and possibly laying off one of the cooks or making the kitchen part time. Another guy sitting across from us who knows Jonesie goes to Medellin as will so I talk to him about my intentions to go there eventually. Every time I talk to someone about Medellin who I find in CR, I wonder why if it's so great would they 'waste' a trip in CR. The explanation usually is that they want a change of pace. There are always at least a few cuties at HLH but I don't want to deal with the attitudes and fickle performances on my last day. After lunch we head out for our MP run.
We hit what seems all of the low end places in San Jose, including a few I havn't previously visited. We find a couple of cuties including one at pension Lilliam with a great body, including breast implants, who grabbed me and was ready to get it on right on the lobby floor. We circle back to the Freebird and I thank Jonesie for the MP run, which I hope to do again. Grab some money from the safe and head over to the Del Rey last afternoon. Good selection for a Monday afternoon. Talk to a bunch of cuties however the one's that do agree to $80 do is begrudgingly so I don't pull the trigger. After about 45 minutes of walking around talking too girls, I come across a cute and friendly Nica. She's shorty and a bit stockly, but she has a real pretty face and smile. She not the type I've been with for the most part this trip, however, she seems like she will be fun and is glad to accept $80 and provide BBBJ and DATY. Back in the room she goes right to passionate DFK. BBBJ is just as passionate and she doesn't forget the ball work. She enjoys DATY and after her O she is raring to get to sex. After a good pounding in all positions I could think of, I pull out and splooge on her pretty face. After cleaning up and collecting her funds, she lets me take a couple of photos and gives me a big kiss before I walk her out. Dennis is sitting outside, so I grab a beer, have a seat, and chat with him for a while. Wake up from napping around 10pm and get ready knowing I will likely be pulling an all-nighter with an 8am flight.
The Del Rey is bustling for a Monday night. I get an espresso from the bar by the entrance. The Rey bar tenders have been sexy as usual this trip and fun to talk to as long as you are buying drink! A fight breaks out in front of me. Turns out some guy entering the Rey pissed the crackhead girl off and she chased him into the Rey. Security jumped on her and gave her the bums rush out the door. On the way in, I saw Kristal from Limon who I was with during my Halloween trip. She was preoccupied with another guy when I first saw her. I walk the circle and don't see anyone I want to leave with, so I sit at the bar across from Kristal. Seems like the guy she is with wants to just play at the bar and give her his number for a later time, so after enough of that she comes and sits by me. Buy us a few drinks after which she wants to head over to the Key Largo to dance. I remembered what a party girl she is. The KL is virtually empty. We sit at a table by the DJ, who is playing reggaeton. The party tenders are all over me to buy drinks and shots for them to pad their tips / commissions for the night. Buy a few rounds of drinks for us and a round of shots for us and the bar tenders, but after around $40 I cut the bartenders off. Kristal is happy to finish her Red Bull and Vodka. Kristal and I have fun dancing for a while, after which she dances solo for me. Can never get enough of her great body: Grade A ass, perky titties, and not an ounch of fat where fat shouldn't be or a stretch mark. Oh, and the puss is great as well from what I remember.
Around 2:45am Kristal still doesn't want to go, but I tell her I have an 8am flight so we need to move the party to my room. We leave KL and make a stop at Tico Burger. I'm all of out Rum and coke in my room so Kristal wants to stop for alcohol. On the way to the Freebird, we find a restaurant, bar, store, that is still open. Pick up a six pack of imperial silver which should be more than enough in the few hours I have left. Back in the room she strips down before eating. I get behind her as she is eating her food while sitting on one of the stools. After our food, it's time for the fun to continue. I play some reggaeton on my laptop via Itunes radio and she dances all over the room. My favorite was when she got on the couch in doggie position and went to work shaking her ass and making it clap. In bed, she goes crazy for DATY. After her O, I try and get her to proceed with BBBJ, but she says she doesn't like to do that. I put a Trojan thin on so the covered head is good. I proceed with a good pounding, especially in doggie on that phenomenal ass. After about an hour and a half of sex, I have about 45 minutes to sleep before I have to be on my way to the airport. I fight falling asleep but Kristal is already passed out with her ass up against me. Wake up around 5:45am with just enough time to shower and finish packing. I neglected to take pictures of Kristal so she poses in her towel for a quick photo shoot. She always likes her pictures to look tasteful and sexy. We run out of the room and I spot some taxis parked up the street from the Freebird. Kristal gives me a big kiss and catches the bus at the stop near the Freebird. Great send off and I make it to the airport with just enough time and get an upgrade to Economy plus seating for my direct flight to EWR. Another great trip in the books.

Day 5 (Saturday)
Another great trip in the books.See, this is what I am talking about. Great report Bunda. Your mileage may vary depending on driving style, maintenance and conditions of your vehicle.

You will be glad you did.

I have know the owner of the P. C. For many years now. Looking forward to watching a few games this year there, in between runs. Go by and see him, you'll be glad you did.
Zedman,
If you are so concerned with the share that the girls get, you always have the option to tip them to bring the amount to an acceptable level. I'd be willing to bet that you have never given a chica a tip in CR in your life. Probably because that's what us stupid gringos do, right? Guys like you don't tip because locals don't tip. Locals can't afford to tip, most can't even afford the price much less a tip. And no matter how much you want to believe so, you are not a local. Don't get me wrong, I don't throw money around freely and without resaon, but when a girl works her ass off (literally) , I have no problem giving her 5K ($10). It doesn't affect me one bit, but will make a difference to her. I don't tip because I feel they don't get enough pay. I tip for good service only. Whatever agreement they have with their bosses is their business. I don't ask because I couldn't care any less.
It's interesting that the guys who complain most about chicas not getting a fair share of the price are the ones who never tip to make up the "shortfall".
$15 to your hotel, huh? I have never hear of any chica in CR going to a guy's hotel for less than $40, and that's low. I've been going since 2005. Please post some pics. I'd love to see this hottie.Rather interesting. You have been going since 2005 and have 7 posts on this site.
What I stated are facts , that is what this site is for. I will not stoop down to your level of personal attacks concerning the chicas I've been with or my spending habits. Don't need photos took plenty before.

Pirate Club has it's pitch men. Gents, if you have time and $$ to waste, try it. You will lose both but at least you'll get that place out of your system. It's a known CR joke kept somewhat alive on the boards by guys with an angle. Here's a recent post from the other board.
"I have been to this place 3 times. The first time was ok, I only saw one girl I liked but she was annoying by constantly asking for drinks so I ended up going somewhere else, but I like the setup and drink specials so I hung around for a while. The second time they were closed around 10 pm, I was pissed I just walked there for nothing. The third time I went I ordered a drink and soon discovered I end up paying $1.50 more when I use dollars, this would be acceptable if it was the norm but no other places have done that (sl, dr, nf, etc) and I felt cheated so I left and will never return. My dollars are gladly accepted at an even exchange rate anywhere else in this city."

You're not even man enough to respond to the offer, I would have bet the house on this response you posted.
It is obvious you have a hidden agenda; you talk about the Pirate Club as if it was so terrible. If the Pirate is so terrible for you why do you keep coming back? Better yet why make up these stories about Trisha and bad service, if you out to have fun? If you're out to enjoy mongering then why are you so upset about the Pirate when there a plenty of other places to visit? No you have a hidden agenda.
We never claim to be perfect at the Pirate. So anyone who knows me can say I am consistent. I call a spade a spade and you are a liar, people like you should not be allowed to post on this site. I will not sit back and let someone trash my business with lies and bullshit.
If you had any facts even close to the truth it would be worth looking into but you stories are weak and pathetic. Just as one fact you have no clue about I have run the Pirate Club for 5 ½ years the Pirate Club has never closed on a Friday except for Easter weekend to comply with CR laws. That means all Bars had to close, again you have a hidden agenda. Go get a life
Good luck,
Happy mongering

I stayed away from posting for a while because I had nothing to post about till now. What is your problem or better yet agenda? The Pirate Club is clean, friendly, safe, and cheap by others standards in relation to the girls and the BTW the girls are hot and fun and I have had some of my best times mongering there and I have traveled the world so I know from what I speak.
Costa Rica needs more places to have the standards in all these categories so the bar is raised not lowered. You say its not near all the hotels where the guys stay, my friends just stayed at the Intercontinental who came here and going to Pirate was a straight shot off the pista without the hassle of going downtown. You assume everyone stays in the Gringo Gulch and that does a disservice to the cool new hotels like the Loft or the Beacon in Escazu where my cousin stayed when him and his friends came because it was near the New Caldera Hwy since they wanted to go back and forth to Jaco during their week here. So rather than define who and why someone comes here to label something far away get your head on the positive track and not just what you think is happening in Costa Rica today not 5 years ago when those options didn't exist. It's hard enough in this economy for the country to get new people to put this on there mongering list of places to go to and having someone just bash, bash, bash keeps everyone's business down because variety is what brings people to explore a new place not just the same ole same ole. Nothing you have put on here I have ever found to be true in regards to your bleak assessment of the Pirate Club. So either you just have an axe to grind or someone is paying you to keep steering them to the same ole same ole.
Step up or step off but know some of us are on to you and would like to meet you and see what makes you go out of your way to trash a place that has been awesome in my time since I have moved here to me and all my friends who have come for a visit. It makes no sense to trash places like the Pirate Club when there should be more places like the Pirate Club so we could all have more fun and bring new visitors to Costa Rica and the girls could make more money and more money brings out more new girls which what all good Mongers are looking for to spend their money and time with. Be well and start having fun and if you're not having fun quit trying to ruin new experiences for newcomers who read this board to learn about new places and other options to the same ole same ole you would have everybody believe is the only experience that anyone can have in Costa Rica!
That was my post that Dgfd quoted from another forum. Everything I wrote was true, except I think the beer may have cost 1.40 more and not 1.50, I can't recall. That was my experience and yes the place was closed at 10 pm, I never said it was on a Friday so I'm not quite sure where you got that from. But I don't have it out to ruin anyone's business, I just post my experience, it is what it is.
Just came back after a weekong trip and my observations are 100% in line with yours. One has to spend hours at delray to find a good looking girl, the sessions are mostly lifeless, girls don't do it to give you a memorable sex. Sportsman was totally hopeless when I checked it out twice, relax MP was a shadow of its former lune up quality I saw in 2012. Only 360 saved the day.
Looks like lack of business equals lack of good looking girls at delray. I don't think I saw one girl that I would have paid happily just to see her naked.
The only solace is that most girls were semi pros and not one of them said no to my offer of $50+$10 propina.
I was in San Jose last week for 3 days, Friday Saturday and Sunday and had the absolute worst time. A lot of fat ugly hags and very few true sweethearts.
I am not looking for love at the Del Rey but I am looking for someone who is open, friendly, warm and not about rushing to the bedroom. Perhaps it was bad luck as in the past I had a lot of luck. It does seem to me though that the talent has declined significantly compared to even four years ago. I did find a few good ones at the Del Rey but it was a hassle, and alot of the time I felt bothered by the girls as they wouldn't just leave me alone to find a good looking girl!
The girls at the Sportsmen were better, a little more friendly and outgoing and I had a better time with them. I didn't go to any MPs. I have tried a few places and have to say Colombia and Curacao are better both in terms of things to do and girls.
Paid $100 at the Del Rey and $80 at Sportsmen roughly. They need to implement a door tax of some sort to keep ugly hags out, I can get a 200 lb black chick here in Canada, I don't need to pay for that! I pay for small cute spinners.
Dgfd.
This member complains about my business being run poorly and I should learn from the Gringo gulch how to run an American business. You mean run it like the Rey or NF or where should I learn from? Do you have a business that I can come learn from? Are you an American business owner here in CR? As an American who owns a business for over 5 1/2 years in CR I did what all Americans with any integrity would, when a complaint is published. Everyone knows some business owners don't give a F*K if you have a problem or not. I know some people who are reluctant to talk directly to a business owner, some people cannot handle confrontation some people are afraid to engage in an honest conversation. So I personally posted a message to Dgfd to let him know I would be glad to meet for a sit down and a Beer. What kind of American turns down an invitation for a free beer?
You can read the messages here on ISG (International Sex Guide) no answer no response. Dgfd just came back on this site and began another negative post about the Pirate. Does that sound like an American? Or someone with an agenda? The sad part is he will not even disclose his real name to me. Why would you be reluctant to disclose who you are? How is it that every time you came to my Club I am not there? And then you end up having a problem? Does that mean I need to be there 24/7 so when you show up all will be well?
Everyone knows my name is Ken everyone knows I can be approached in the Club and will listen, talk and have friendships and conversations with my customers. Everyone knows I am NOT a gangster, I am not part of the mob, and I can be approached. I am just a country boy from Carolina who likes Latin women and tries to provide a place for people to have fun. Why hide behind the site, post multiple stories that do not add up?
I have customers (Americans) who live and work here in CR who have been coming to the Pirate for 5 years! Dgfd Are you saying my American customers who have enjoyed the Pirate for years and years, and they do not know what a good Club is? Are you saying that ISG members who support the Club are wrong? Are you saying that the Ticos and Ticas that support and work at the Pirate do not know where to have fun and party? Yes you have the right to post what you want even if it is weak and inconsistent. You paid for you membership like I did to post here, you had an invitation to come sit down and talk face to face after you told me how you would love to see the Club be successful, I wanted to meet you in person to resolve any issues. But you would not even respond.
I have built businesses all my life when you have a problem you deal with it in a professional way. In business 101, you try to solve the problem not hide behind the internet and make claims about the Club that change every day. I am not hiding, I am at the Club, if someone over charged you or offended you or disrespected you then meet me in person and deal with it, Tell me their name, give me a date when this happened give me some facts besides posting comments from another person from another website and bit and pieces of your story mixed in with no facts. If I am to correct a problem I have to have all the facts not bits and pieces.
In this members mind (Dgfd) I need to be more American in Latin country, sorry this is CR not the USA. So which part of this story do I address? My business, in a Latin Country? Or my American business in a Latin country? I am American who runs a business in Costa Rica plain and simple. If you go to our website or ask anyone who is a customer you get the same answer that was posted here in this site? We open at 4 pm most of the time that means anywhere from 3 pm to 4 pm the door opens if the door is closed we let people in early who may arrive early. Yes there have been a couple of days we actually did not open until 4:15 maybe even 5 pm.
We made mistake. Can you imagine? A business in CR that did not open exactly on time? WOW! How could we be so foolish not to open exactly at 4 pm sharp! I am sure this probably happened at least 4 or 5 times in 5 years. How could we be so careless? I guess my Tica manager who worked in the gulch 15 years ago in the Key Largo made a mistake. She might have gotten caught up in traffic while riding the Bus to SJ for work. Wait do we need to tell the CR government that they need to be more American and have the Buses on time every day! I am trying to remember where I can go that everyone and everybody is on American time here in Costa Rica a country who just recently came out of the third world status in the last 15 years.
Why is it so important to Dgfd that everything here be on American time? Why is it so important that I be like the gulch? The Pirate Club is on Avenue 10 in the Southwest part of San Jose what does the gulch have to do with having fun in CR? Why does Dgfd keep referring to my location? Why is so important that the Pirate have any relationship to the word gringo gulch? The Pirate Club is open to everyone and we have customers visit from all over the world? We don't discriminate against any nationalities.
One fact that most members here do not know on ISG (International Sex Guide) is The Pirate Club used to be called Bar Dandy and one of the oldest and most well-known Pensions in the Country of Costa Rica. As a matter of fact the same owner of Idem MP was the previous owner of the Pirate Club, which I have a working relationship with that owner. Idem and Bar Dandy has been two of the longest lasting Pensions in Costa Rica starting back in the early 80s, with respect we did not change the name of Bar Dandy the previous owners changed the name, we took advice from the successful owner who has over 25 years' experience. Our girls are Latin women they are not American, they will always live and act like Latin women and will be on Latino time, with Latin lifestyle that is why all these Americans and All international travelers visit Costa Rica because of the Latin women. Americans and other foreigners want something different and we provide that experience.
My manager is excellent with our customers. She knows how to treat a customer and how to deal with problems!
Dgfd I am really sorry, how could we be so stupid not to have change for all the Taxis that come to the Pirate Club we only get about 30 taxis a day, How could we be so dumb not to provide change for you?
Get my point? Dgfd You made a big deal out of the Club having change. Why did you enter my club angry and aggressive and talk almost to the point of screaming at my manager for change? Why would you go to a massage parlor and act like an ass? Dgfd you claim Marisol gave you a lecture? OMG you are so weak, everyone who knows the Pirate and knows Marisol is sweet as sugar, our customers hug her when they come into the Club, Marisol is the Manager, mom and friend of the Club she doesn't have the personality to lecture anyone.
The problem arises again we don't know which guy we are talking too? You make a claim, you had a problem? Now a second party (topman24) is taking claim for alleged events and postings from an outside website? Also this person (topman24) is back peddling about the statement of the Friday night 10 pm closing. Of course because Dgfd made the post in January. About some GUYS that claim (Guys take a cab on Friday at 10pm and its closed.) That was you? Or the second party? Topman24 did not have enough information to know the whole story, yet we now see his claim posted on this board. But you say it was his story and not yours? Neither story has any real facts and neither story matches with the other.
Now I am being told this is an issue from the outside monger website, why are we talking about an outside website? Dgfd started all this as if he was making the complaint, now Dgfd has another person who is in the mix and the GUYs that went on Friday night? Lots of people involved since Dgfd started this story. Now he has involved another website (Monger site) that is owned by a CR business owner, in other words, the competition. I personally think the owner of that website has more integrity to be involved and probably be would be upset that Dgfd brought his website into these claims.
Another claim says, that we charge Gringo Tax. All our pricing is equal for everyone, we use a computer system with set pricing that prints out receipts, for every customer to view. If this guy really claims being Gringo Taxed! Look at the receipt; sorry we don't have a Gringo button in our computer.
The pattern of these claims has so many weak points and so few facts. How am I supposed to make sense of any of these claims?
Dgfd complains he comes to the club to see a girl that has not worked there in 1 1/2 years and now I call him on his BS he gets another person involved to say this was a post from another site? Wait a minute? Hold the phone! Which story is true? You coming to the Bar, and asking for change for your Taxi? Or coming to the Club for Trisha? I am confused wow! Which story is true Dgfd?
Let's sum up this whole claim game. Dgfd
1. You came into the Club a few times, many times, several times? You claim all three. Which one is it or will that change again?
2. A Guy told you the Club was closed on a Friday night? Hmm which guy? You post a claim based on some guy?
3. You came to the Pirate from Idem to see Trisha? What year was that? She has been away for some time now. What's your point? You claim you know the Pirate but you come there to see a girl that has been gone for over a year and half? You support Idem and yet you trash Pirate Club. Both Idem and Pirate were once owned by the same person! Yes I know the owner of Idem, I respect him very much, I have followed some of his traditions, business ethics and standards at the Pirate Club.
4. You make complaints about the Pirate but you say it was really about another guy on another webpage? Why? So you're repeating a posting from another website? Why? Please clear up this story for all of us! You did accomplish on thing Dgfd, you got our attention. We all want to see how this story turns out.
5. Your making quotes from another (monger site) on ISG? I joined for information from ISG not another website!
6. Now you have second party taking claim he made the posting? Originally you made the complaint. You state we are never open on time! You claim we don't have a phone? Our phone line has been a working ICE number for over 7 years. Ask my manager how many times a day it rings! Do you have multiple personalities? Are you the second shooter on the grassy knoll? Better yet are you also the GUY that came on Friday that night?
7. What do we call you? Dgfd? Or do you have different names?
Trying to put this story together is like nightmare, like your grandmother kissing you and slipping you the tongue. It makes you sick thinking about it, all the ISG members have to suffer through your (claims) and postings. For that I apologize to all the ISG members. However I cannot allow my business, my staff and the Pirate girls to be put down unjustly!
You told me today, you are a business owner here in Costa. Please tell us all, about your business, what kind of business it? What is the name? Where are you located?
Tell us how your American business is being run in Costa Rica! Now that you have made such a point here on ISG, and you have our attention, many of my customers have seen your post and they want to more about you and who you are? They want to meet you; they want to see how you run your business! Please tell us, so we can all learn.
These claims Dgfd are unjust; let me say one thing about this other site you constantly bring to this ISG.
The previous owner of the site you keep bringing to ISG. I know him, he and I are friends, he told me one day he was so sick and tired of the negative comments, of his own website. So many members had joined that site only to complain and whine and cause problems and use the site to trash other business owners, he told me he was sick and tired of it all, and that his vision for the had been had been lost. I know he was tired and ready to sell and get out, when he created his site his vision was to promote tourism and local businesses for the better good of all in CR, it is sad to see how it ended. I have no idea what goes on over there, I am not a member and I do not visit that site. I have no ties or problems with the new owners for that matter. I joined the ISG website because it is the International website for Mongering and not contaminated by any biased reports. That is why I support this site! I want to say to All ISG members I hope this type of stories will be sorted out and that this site never gets out of control. I have put a lot of thought who would be so vindictive and careless to put this weak juvenile tale together? Yes I have had to kick a few people out of the Pirate from time to time in the last 5. 5 years for various reasons and I supposed that would cause some resentments. I had to make business decisions to protect my customers and my girls.
We continue to recruit the best girls suited for the Pirate Club and our customers, come enjoy one of the best bargains San Jose has to offer, and where every day is a party and your pleasure is our Business
More postings with girls and party photos coming soon.
Sincerely, Pirate GM
We are having a Party tonight at the Club, lesbian show and raffles for free sessions, for everyone information we open at 4 pm M-Saturday.
NFL Starts September 8 th we will be open 30 minutes before kick off we will have all the games. I wanted to share a few photos of our girls hope you enjoy
I have brought to this board the problem numerous SJ reg's are having with your irregular hours especially in view of your bad location. I posted about that and quoted from other posts and suggested your place needs to be run on Gringo time and not Tico time. And this was your response:
Originally Posted by PirateGM [View Original Post]
Get a life. You complain about Tico time? Let me remind you this is Costa Rica, you are in tico country now. Your going to tell everyone here all the businesses a run like American businesses? Except the Pirate?
Of all the bars / restaurants I have ever been to in SJ or CR, yours is the only one that runs on Tico time, and on steroids. For the new guys, Tico Time means forget the scheduled appointment, maybe later, but maybe not. Nobody complains about 20 minutes especially if they can walk to another place. Pirate Club is different and way out of the way (and not a great area) from where 95% of the gringos stay and play so they have to leave when you are not open.
You can stop the bad posts on both boards by remembering you may be in CR where certain Ticos run on tico time, but your clientele are Gringos. Open regular hours and guys will stop bitching. And you'll do good.
I remember a while back, a guy posted on the other board that girls were asking for drinks, guys would do so, and then the girl would order the most expensive drinks in the house. And I remember other guys posting they had the same experience.
And I remember your response (when you used to respond to neg posts there-you have quit doing so)
Your reply post was: "When you take your kids to McDonald's, you don't make them buy off the dollar menu do you?" I think that ended your posting days after 20 guys posted what they thought about that.
And stop the girls mooching for drinks. Gringos are generous. They'll buy a drink for a girl they have an eye on. But they don't want to pay for a $17 rip.
Improve the attitude of your manager who within the past 3 weeks wouldn't give a new customer change for a $US20 so he could pay the taxi that brought him. So he bought a drink, got change, and he went and paid. And then she had words under her breath when he got back. Want me to post his post? And the follow ups? She's quickly got the nick name "Battle Axe."
Get a phone number that works. It would save a lot of guys wasting their time and cab fare if you are going to be closed. You said on the board you would fix that glaring problem.
Revise your website. In your FAQ page, you say that the girls have health cards and are checked regularly or something like that. Guys can google your club and find it. You know that is impossible. Falsehood. Misleading and may lull a drunk to think he needn't wear protection. There aren't health cards anywhere in CR. There is no system for working girls' getting medical checks and health cards anywhere in CR. That often abused tale told to tourists, not just by you, is the biggest lie in CR. Here's an idea, buy a free drink for every guy who doesn't get to see a girls health card or certificate. That's reasonable-correct this lie or buy a drink? You'll post here that you will honor that deal by tomorrow so guys can go and start drinking free, right? I bet by Monday you'll have that taken off your website. And if I am wrong you'll pack the place.

Halloween week is one, if not the busiest tourist weeks in San Jose. Most of the parties will be on Nov. 2nd and the majority of rooms are booked already. However, I am in touch with the hotels in the Gringo Gulch on a daily basis. As of yesterday, there are only about 25-30 rooms available. If anyone needs help securing a room, pm me fast. More than likely they will be gone and the only rooms left will be the Chica un-friendly ones. There will be rooms available in Jaco and I will run a shuttle from Jaco to San Jose on November 2nd if there is enough interest. The shuttle will leave Jaco at 4 pm and return at 1:30 a. M. Good thing about the airfares at this time, they are lower than most time of the year. R. T. From Chicago $384, L. A. 514, Miami $423, Toronto $593, Dallas $429, Houston $616, Orlando $273, Charlotte $545, Washington Dulles $557, San Francisco $574. Phoenix $547, Denver $515, Atlanta $357 and Newark $429. If you would like to know the rates from you airport, let me know. I would be glad to assist you in finding the lowest airfare in your area. Here's some pics I took a couple of years ago at the Sportsmen Lodge. It surely is a great time and a party you will want to attend.

Let's all just try to get along. I went to the Pirate club a couple of weeks ago. Had some clients in town and I had a few hours to kill before I turned in for the night. We hit the Sportsmen first. Plenty of women for the taking and I will testify, it a great run business with all of my favorite bartenders. Next stop was the Pirate Club. Even though some of his regular girls were not there, there was plenty to go around. Ken was nice and gave us all a free beer as he was complicating promoting this beer for happy hour at 800 colones. Great deal I think. It may not be as it once was in it's heyday 2006-2008 but it surely is not dead. In my opinion, the short time rooms are some of the best in Costa Rica. There is so much competition now for the American dollar. More places to go than ever. I say give them all a chance. Sometimes in business you have to change and try new things. Think outside the box I always say.
Good Luck P. C.

Good Luck P. C.You said a mouthful that the Pirate Club wasn't like it was in its heyday 5 years ago or before under a diff name.
But it can be, it's a nice place, the rooms are very good, mgmt just needs to change what has already been discussed. You have been promoting him lately so do you have the phone number?
In your time in CR have you ever seen a working girl with a " CR Health Certificate" or know of the requirement that they get checked?
Just get back from San Jose two days ago, have a great time. Get my dental work done for more than half price when compare to Canada. Stay in Amistad for all inclusive, good food and good service. Big thanks to "One Lucky Dogg" for all all the appointment you arrange for me.

No disrespect intended, but you are currently running a business in San Jose / Costa Rica, specializing in "Tours, Travel & Transport." You have an inherent stake in promoting the "positives" surrounding the CR scene. While you have certainly posted some very useful information, you occasionally come off as somewhat of a "shill" (see above) , and I can't help but question the credibility of some of your posts. For example, you recently stated that people who had complained of the train noise at La Amistad mostly hadn't actually stayed there. This was patently false, and I think you know it, as you are also a CRT member, poster and sponsor. This board does not need another pitchman for the various hotel and bar owners in San Jose and Jaco, unless he is willing to report the unadulterated bad with the good.
Having said this, the consensus seems to be that you are a standup guy who runs a reputable business, and I'm seriously thinking of utilizing your services when I return to San Jose in late September for some major dental work. And Matt has taken concrete steps to greatly reducing the impact of the train noise in the morning hours. Nonetheless, I was eating a very fine dinner there a couple of months back and the train roared past, rattling wine glasses behind the bar and vibrating my dinner table, if only for a few brief seconds. People sensitive to this should indeed be advised to seek a room on the other side of the hotel.
You also very recently stated that the water quality in the Jaco area is greatly improving, and, dammit, it appears you are correct! Turns out fecal coliform counts are now well below the accepted level of "240 coliforms per 100.000 milliliters of water." Interestingly, Quepos tested at 400!

Just get back from San Jose two days ago, have a great time. Get my dental work done for more than half price when compare to Canada. Stay in Amistad for all inclusive, good food and good service. Big thanks to "One Lucky Dogg" for all all the appointment you arrange for me.Curious where you got your dental work done. It appears you are satisfied with the results. And yes, the all-inclusive promotion Matt is currently running at La Amistad is one hell of a good deal.
You sir are more eloquent then I, old made that comment after my post about La Amistad and the trains, I did stay there for one sleep deprived week. Will never go back, and from that statement of old I won't trust a word out of his mouth or keyboard, I really doubt he has stayed there either, just an agenda to put forward.
Be well,

No disrespect intended, but you are currently running a business in San Jose / Costa Rica, specializing in "Tours, Travel & Transport." You have an inherent stake in promoting the "positives" surrounding the CR scene. While you have certainly posted some very useful information, you occasionally come off as somewhat of a "shill" (see above) , and I can't help but question the credibility of some of your posts. For example, you recently stated that people who had complained of the train noise at La Amistad mostly hadn't actually stayed there. This was patently false, and I think you know it, as you are also a CRT member, poster and sponsor. This board does not need another pitchman for the various hotel and bar owners in San Jose and Jaco, unless he is willing to report the unadulterated bad with the good.

We had a great turn out last Friday, great lesbian show in the front room, we had quite a few first time customers who had a great time and will be supporters of the club. We will continue the shows of Fridays. We will always put together a show for customers on any given night.
Thanks for the support.

I couldn't finish the pork chop when I had it and you devoured it in mere minutes. Here's a pic of your Pork chop and your ladies jumbo shrimp I took with you guys the other night at the Amistad. Good times. Thanks again.

Greetings. Am looking forward to a 4-day award trip on Spirit Airlines (yeah, I know.) for 3 weeknights and a Friday night in mid-September. Will be my third-ever CR trip and first in four years.
With an Orbitz deal and rates as posted now for those dates, I can stay at the Morazan at $43. 38 / night all-in, Europa at $41. 69, Vesuvio at $51. 17 or Santo Tomas at $55. 04. Only the Santo Tomas has breakfast included.
Criteria is pretty standard: good location, chica friendly, not a total dump. Am leaning toward the Morazan on location but am a bit bothered by TA reviews mentioning noise or mold. Also not sure if Santo Tomas is chica-friendly.
Of those four, which one would you pick?

Of those four, which one would you pick?If I had to pick out of those 4, I'd choose the Morazon. It's the only one that is chica friendly on you list. However, since I have been in business, I have only taken 1 guy to the Morazon. He was an old timer who had been staying there for years. The noise might get you. These are the top hotels I have taken mongers to in alphabetical order. Amistad, Casillo, Del Rey, Dunn Inn, Freebird, Hotel Little Havana, Mona Lisa and the Sportsmen. All are chica friendly. Pm me if I can assist you further.
I had a great time at Hemingway which meets all your requirements for $30 / night including tax and a nice breakfast if you pay on arrival.

Come on Jonesie, let it go. I did some research on this site with the pics you posted on your frequent visit to the P. C. Many, many pics. Most all said, fast becoming my favorite. Looks like your were having a good time. Remember, take the high road. My daddy always said,"if you can't say something good about someone, say nothing at all!" I will say something about good about you. You have gotten this Costa Rica section on this forum going again. Looks like it was pretty dead a few month ago.
There is not one business, hotel, Mp, brothel, strip club, private provider, mongering website or tour and transport service, that someone will not find fault with. This includes your site and my service.
I was looking at tripadvisor ratings on the Morada Haze nightclub in Jaco yesterday. 10 ratings. 9 excellent a 1 terrible. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g309271-d3973603-Reviews-Morada_Haze-Jaco_Province_of_Puntarenas.html
9 out of 10 rated it excellent. I don't think this negative comment is going to keep guys away from this place. Follow me?
My advise to you and others, take it if you want, is to be nice. Always be nice. Your business will grow and grow. Plus people like to do business with good, nice people.

Owners lost or are losing the properties in a court case and have not invested a dime in the properties for years, all the while milking them as cash cows.
Vesuvio is a bad deal at $51. It should be priced at about $15 considering the thickness of the walls and overall lack of furnishings. If you are really looking for cheap, then maybe the Inca Real. Otherwise the list from OLD is pretty much it.

http://oneluckydogg.comWhere did Morada Haze (Jaco) come from in this forum about San Jose? I was there last month, and was the only customer on a Saturday night at 10pm. They setup a strip bar in the back, but it is so dark you can not see the dancers. They also quoted me some stupid prices.

Photo's of shrimps and pork chops from a hotel he pushes, rave reviews of dumpy rip off bars, endless on all CR boards. Advertised he'd pick you up at the airport for free, only a tip, then jacked your for $35. Yep, that's how Morada Haze gets in the SJ section.

You are on your way to Costa Rica. You need a rooms. Now what to do? Where should you stay? Do I stay at a 4 star hotel with a high Tripadvisor rating or should I go out on my own and find a place in the Gringo Gulch. While you might get a room with a International chain by just walking up and checking in, you might want to do your due diligence and make sure you can bring your lady up to your room. You will notice that some hotels do not allow working girls at all, others set the chica fee so high, you will not dare to take a girl there.
Some of the monger and chica-friendly hotels in the San Jose Gringo Gulch include in alphabetical order.
1. Amistad http://www.hotelamistad.com Barrio Escalante a block from the Hospital Calderon. Sportsmens is a stones throw away. Best deal going if you like to eat, drink and at. Very nice hotel; rooms start at $79 (less for O. L. D. VIP discount) All inclusive, all you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, off of the menu. All you can drink beer, wine and well cocktails. No chicas working on-site; good wi-fi and free laundry service.
2. Hotel Castillo http://www.hotelcastillo.biz/ (budget hotel and old timer's hotel. Starts at $50 very basic and basic services. Wi-fi available and a free breakfast.
3. Del Rey Hotel and Casino http://www.hoteldelrey.com Probably the #1 tourist attraction in all of Costa Rica. A must see. Like Denny's it's always open. Key Largo across the street opens at 10 pm for dancing. More chicha's than you can shake a stick at. The rooms needs a little help and are not up to par. Most would not recommend staying there but is a most see for the beautiful women and over price drinks. $11 chica fee.
4. Hotel Dunn Inn Barrio Amon http://www.hoteldunninn.com. Close to my heart as this was the 1st place I stayed when I came to Costa Rica years ago. All room have been newly renovated and start at about $70; Rick's Sportsbar opened in 2011 and in my opinion a great waste of space because it is such a great bar and atmosphere. Good food, service and wi-fi.
5. The Freebird Hotel http://www.thefreebirdcr.com Nice renovated house turned into a hotel. Almost on Avenda Segundo. Close to attractions of downtown San Jose. Only downfall is that most rooms share bathrooms. They do have has 2 suites; rooms start at about $53 a night cash only. No credit cards accepted. Good wi-fi
6. Hotel Little Havana (HLH) , Bariio Amon. http://www.hotellittlehavana.com Lot of changes coming and is in transition. I really want to hold off commenting on this one until all the dust settles. I personally think good things are to come. (O. L. D. VIP discount providers)
7. Hemingway Inn http://www.hemingwayinn.com/ Nice place and rooms start at $35 cash but only has 2 of these rooms. Most basic start at $50 but be prepared to add 12% for credit cards, $3 for a safety deposit box and $25 chica fees.
8 Hotel Morazan http://www.hotelcostaricamorazan.com/ Another Hotel for the guy who is coming in on a very limited budget. A single room is $54 and a double is $60. Casino and Sportsbook on the premises. Even though Costa Rica passed a non smoking law, some of the rooms still smell like Lucky Strikes.
9. Mona Lisa, new kid on the block. Old Clarion. Recently renovated and opened in Jan of this year. Casino, bar, Chicas, restaurant, M. P. And Yorleny for the very best deep tissue real massage in town. Best Texas holdem poker game in town as well. Has a few growing pains. Wi-fi is spotty and not enough safety deposit boxes. Friendly staff and good service. A few of the old Sportsmen bartenders are working there as well. One big plus is underground parking if you happen to rent a car while here. Rooms start at $69 a night. O. L. D. VIP discount provider.
10. Sportsmen Lodge (SL) http://www.sportsmenscr.com My favorite to party and watch a good football game. Excellent Sports bar and bar food. Moderately price beverages and the staff is #1 in my opinion. Chica's on the premises and are not nearly as pushy as the Rey. Most will leave you alone while watching you favorite sporting event. Rooms start at $65. $275 for the awesome Penthouse. O. L. D. Discount provider. Good wi-fi and continental breakfast of fresh fruit, toast and coffee. Only downside is. It is just about always full and you have to book way in advance.
Guest / Chica fee hotels:
-Del Rey ($11)
-Hemingway $25.
-Sleep Inn (next to Del Rey) ($25)
-Holiday Inn (arm and a leg) they really don't want your type staying at their wonderful establishment
Hotels that really do not cater to mongerers are:
-Radison.
-Hotel Grand Costa Rica-Working girls not allowed in the hotel at all.
-Holiday Inn arm and a leg.
-Balmoral.
-Best Western.
-Hotel Presidente No chica's at all allowed. Too bad because it use to be one of my favorites.

Five of the seven rooms at The Freebird, where I usually stay, go for $42 a night plus tax with CRT membership. These five rooms share two large, immaculately clean bathrooms.
The Mona Lisa is currently running an excellent special. Details pasted from another site (Guy's email address deleted):
Hotel Mona Lisa in San Jose is offering a Special room price of $49. 99 per night from now thru December 2013. The rooms are BIG and Beautiful, with wifi. 42 inch Flat Screen TV's, central A / C, safes, fridges, windows in every room, bath and shower, Free calls to the states, no charge to bring in a guest, free parking, etc. Just $49. 99 per night Plus tax. Total $56 This price does not include Holidays, like Halloween, Labor day, etc. If you want to book a room or have any questions email me Guy Grand Director of Guest Services or call me at 800 452-6942 or 215 469-6662 and ask for Guy and I will be Happy to help you plan your next Fun Getaway to Costa Rica.
Ha, you run the risk of being cast out of the trailer park for not naming SL number one.
BTW, the Sleep Inn charges $35. It's a great hotel if you're not mongering. If you are, not so much.
The sand is really shifting on the ground under the gulch lately. With a few of these hotels closing, relocating, or about to close, there are deals to be had. Even the well run hotels like Amistad and SL are making deals and paying extra attention to customer service / retention. I took a TL member to the amistad tonight that had a reservation for a queen, and he got a penthouse at no extra charge. The recession has reached Costa Rica, and the smart hotel owners are adjusting, the others are buckling.
On a related note. The Rey is getting quite a bit of new higher end talent lately. Hot girls entering the biz because lack of other opportunities have lessened. Some of them are damn lovely.

Some of them are damn lovely.Same thing I am hearing Jonsie. I picked up a client today at 4 AM. Believe it or not and we headed to the airport. I was asking him about his trip, as I do most guys. He was saying the same thing. It could be that some of the Cocal Jaco ladies have made their way back into town after immigration raided the place the other night or just new talent looking to make some extra money. What surprised me is that he said he went over to the Mona Lisa, I don't know what night it was, and he said there was about 25 ladies over there. That's a large number for the M. L. Please, keep us up to date on the talent. You get out more than I do.
I'm mostly referring to the Rey. I didn't know girls still went over to the Mona. Whatever the reason for the increase in talent, I hope it keeps up.

Decide to go to San Jose this weekend.
Arrived Saturday at SJO airport.
Walked the hallway down to passport control. Cleared Passport and first ATM I walked by out of service.
Bought my sim card at baggage claim and took forever since the guy in front of me didn't know how to use his phone.
Second ATM machine out of cash. Passed thru x-ray customs and since I didn't have any colones I walked out and went upstairs to departure area and went to the BAC to change out some dollars and make a withdrawal. Tip never exchange your money at the baggage claim they rip you off with an exchange rate of 430. I just find it interesting that both ATM were out of order.
BAC was offering 495 sell and 505 to buy. I was disappointed they started charging an ATM fee now. GRRR I hate those greedy bankers. Walked out and caught a taxi that was dropping off someone at departures. Told them to run the meter and arrived at the Dunn inn withing 30 minutes. Total price 12000 colones. Made my check in and went in my room. At that point the sky completely fell down. Worse storms experienced even my girl down there told me it was going take a while since she couldn't see while driving.
I fell asleep and 3 hours later the storms stop but it was still raining. We decided to check out the places within walking distance. Went to new fantasy I was completely disappointed. There was 15 dudes in there waiting for the rain to stop and when a hot chick finished with a client the dudes would scoop her up and take her back. I finished my beer and decided to go little havana. When I went to the old entrance I noticed the cigar shop was open and was told to walk down 30 feet down for the new entrance. Walked in there and it another disappointment. 4 girls and they were all 2's and 3's. Walked around the corner down from San Tomas for a massage parlor 4 girls and they were just as bad as little havana. By this point my girl showed up with her cousin for my wing man. We decided to go to fogo Bazil. The place was nice but damn pricey as hell. After eating we went to T quila a night club bar outside the city and drank and danced until 3 in the morning. My wing man wanted to pick up the tab and my chick who I met off Tagged payed for it. My wing man and I were shocked and said ok. She drove us back to our hotel and I called it night since I didn't want lead this girl on. I wouldn't say this girl is drop dead gorgeous but she isn't a dumpster fire either.
At that point the sky completely fell down. Worse storms experienced even my girl down there told me it was going take a while since she couldn't see while driving.

Rumor has it that half of the Hotel Little Havana, the half that is on the corner, has been sold and will open as the Zona II, hopefully around Oct. 1st. There will be 4 2 be. Are. Suites, with all the immensities, at a blowout price of $100 a night. This will be ideal for the guy who likes the extra room and privacy. More details to come.
Thank you! La Amistad it is then. Del Rey for the show and SL for the ambiance when not otherwise touring various MP's etc. Much appreciated.

5. The Freebird Hotel.
http://www.thefreebirdcr.com
Nice renovated house turned into a hotel. Almost on Avenda Segundo. Close to attractions of downtown San Jose. Only downfall is that most rooms share bathrooms. They do have has 2 suites; rooms start at about $53 a night cash only. No credit cards accepted. Good wi-fi
6. Hotel Little Havana (HLH) , Bariio Amon.
http://www.hotellittlehavana.com
Lot of changes coming and is in transition. I really want to hold off commenting on this one until all the dust settles. I personally think good things are to come. (O. L. D. VIP discount providers)
7. Hemingway Inn.
http://www.hemingwayinn.com/
Nice place and rooms start at $35 cash but only has 2 of these rooms. Most basic start at $50 but be prepared to add 12% for credit cards, $3 for a safety deposit box and $25 chica fees.
8 Hotel Morazan.
http://www.hotelcostaricamorazan.com/
Another Hotel for the guy who is coming in on a very limited budget. A single room is $54 and a double is $60. Casino and Sportsbook on the premises. Even though Costa Rica passed a non smoking law, some of the rooms still smell like Lucky Strikes.
9. Mona Lisa, new kid on the block. Old Clarion. Recently renovated and opened in Jan of this year. Casino, bar, Chicas, restaurant, M. P. And Yorleny for the very best deep tissue real massage in town. Best Texas holdem poker game in town as well. Has a few growing pains. Wi-fi is spotty and not enough safety deposit boxes. Friendly staff and good service. A few of the old Sportsmen bartenders are working there as well. One big plus is underground parking if you happen to rent a car while here. Rooms start at $69 a night. O. L. D. VIP discount provider.
10. Sportsmen Lodge (SL)
http://www.sportsmenscr.com
My favorite to party and watch a good football game. Excellent Sports bar and bar food. Moderately price beverages and the staff is #1 in my opinion. Chica's on the premises and are not nearly as pushy as the Rey. Most will leave you alone while watching you favorite sporting event. Rooms start at $65. $275 for the awesome Penthouse. O. L. D. Discount provider. Good wi-fi and continental breakfast of fresh fruit, toast and coffee. Only downside is. It is just about always full and you have to book way in advance.
Guest / Chica fee hotels:
-Del Rey ($11)
-Hemingway $25.
-Sleep Inn (next to Del Rey) ($25)
-Holiday Inn (arm and a leg) they really don't want your type staying at their wonderful establishment
Hotels that really do not cater to mongerers are:
-Radison.
-Hotel Grand Costa Rica-Working girls not allowed in the hotel at all.
-Holiday Inn arm and a leg.
-Balmoral.
-Best Western.
-Hotel Presidente No chica's at all allowed. Too bad because it use to be one of my favorites.

ChrisChris, looks like you are in the wrong city. San Jose is happening this weekend. Big Party at 6 pm at the Sportsmen. Was there yesterday and the Del Rey. Was loaded with girls who were offering services at $50. See you soon.

Matt has made huge improvements since last thanksgiving. He has hired a traffic director so the train does not have to blow the whistle in the mornings. Again, if doesn't run on the weekends and Costa Rica holidays.

I've been trying to get in contact with sportsman lodge to change my reservation and arrange for hotel pick up. I've been emailing and call all week with no answer. All last week my emails were responded to almost instantly. Is the hotel still open?
Well, I went with the Europa at $167 all-in for 4 nights via Orbitz and a 20% off. Too bad the Grand Hotel Costa Rica isn't chica-friendly. On Travelocity with a 13% off deal they have it could be knocked down to $200 all-in for the same 4 nights. Those would be Tuesday thru Friday of next week, so I'll be roaming around, trying not to see / do too much touristy stuff (will be third trip). Would be happy to trade stories of Asia for ones about western hemisphere hotspots if anyone's around. Have done most of my travels & reports in SE Asia with just occasional dabbling elsewhere.

Great news for the gentlemen coming down to Costa Rica and want a great place to stay but demands comfort and convenience on his stay. The half of the of the Hotel Little Havana, which use you be the Zona Blue in the old days, is now going to be the Zona II. It will only have (4) 2. Be. Suites but boy are they going to be nice. They will be price at $100 a night, which is an excellent value for the size of the rooms and amenities. The whole building is being gutted and remodeled. Just about everything will be new. New bar with drink specials, working girls and short time rooms. This is really going to be 1st class. Again, it opening has been planned for Oct. 7th. Should be in high demand for the much anticipated Halloween week and festivities. I will keep you updated on the progress. Here's a few pic.

as far as an english speaking driver, that's what i do. i am originally from florida and speak 3 languages, english, spanish and recheck. see my specials on my thread here http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?3519-one-lucky-dogg-tours-travel-amp-transport for isg members.

here are some notes from the just-completed 4-dayer. probably not much new to experienced hands, but maybe someone finds something of value.
arrived midday on tuesday on the spirit airlines flight from fort lauderdale. was seated toward the front & got to immigration quickly. lines weren't too bad. spirit has the expensive bag policy and i had packed everything into a rucksack (maximum 12x14x16 inches) to not have to pay anything there. wore one shirt that i was going to give away anyway, and assumed 2 days on the shorts. you also hear stories of people wearing multiple layers while flying (so they can carry more clothes) , but i didn't have to resort to that.
went to the bank in departures next to the departure-tax counter to change $60 into colones. they're bank-like (i. e. not the speediest) with their processes but i s'pose the rate was fairer. ($1 was about 500 colones, with the atms coming in around 496. 4).
went to the bus stop along the road in front of the airport and took the tuasa bus into town for 510 colones. it was maybe a 7-block walk from the stop to the hotel europa, made easier by having to carry only the rucksack. checked into the europa (to their credit, they let me do it at 1 pm). got a room with 2 queen beds that looked out to the covered inside courtyard, so the outside noise was minimal. otoh, the wall-unit air-con vibrated quite a bit and could cause the window to rattle. i tried wedging in tissues or other things to limit that. in general the furnishings are a bit older and tired in the hotel, but still well within the zone of tolerability. the tv was a large crt with a good cable-channel selection.
energy level was so-so on the first night. took a nap up to 8:30 pm or so from being tired and walked over to taberna vips. none of the 4-5 chicas there at the time caused the needle to jump, but eyes were on the local-tv news coverage. estamos en el mundial! costa rica had made the world cup thanks to a tie with jamaica (almost a win) and a result from another game. celebrations broke out in the streets. i walked down to av. 2 and parque central to check out one of them. lots of excited people. 2 bandstands and some things planned, some not. cars were being detoured around the av. 2 side of the park, and on one block there was a gauntlet of celebrants who'd run up to cars and bounce them up and down. not all drivers were good sports about this and some would try to plow through, so it was dangerous. thankfully it was still early enough that alcohol wasn't a big part of the mix. people were excited and generally well-behaved.
next stop was molino rojo near av. 10 and calle 2. paid the cover and got the drink, but not too much happening yet. saw one girl i'd seen earlier at taberna vips.
went next door to arcadas, with a higher cover (2000 weekdays / 3000 weekends). chica quality looked better, and after looking around a bit i went over & sat with carolina, a 21-year-old from nicaragua with medium-length straight black hair and nice body firmness. you don't have to sit with 'them very long before the waiter asks if you want to buy them a drink (c5000 tequila shot) , but with that you do get a topless lap dance, and carolina was fine with some tongue and finger exploring with that. much better value for that than you get in the usa, but i guess that's the infrequent-visitor gringo perspective.
that got me in the mood for the sexo in the upstairs rooms, which cost a locally hefty c20, 000 per 30 minutes (unless i got some kind of extranjero price) , payable to the server upfront. rooms were about par as those things go. fans, no en suites (shower / toilet down the hall) , a tv that didn't work, red lighting for signature effect, etc. nicer than most tico places but not ready for gringo prime time. carolina washed up for 5 minutes or so and came back in. she started with the cbj, but i deemed her daty-able (very clean) and went about that. then several positions but it took a manual to finish the job. i blamed the cervezas and relatively later hour for the performance. carolina was pretty good on the gfe and just generally cuter and fresher than what you usually see.
cruised through the del rey on day #2. lots of very dolled up but generally older and probably harder girls, as expected. had a nice chat with maria, from quezon city in the philippines, of all places. i've been to the pi numerous times and it just seemed to reaffirm how they have a way of connecting with you. some would chalk it up to the language barrier and better english ability, but many of us are introverts with below-average "game" there, so i think there's more to it than that.
game plan for night #2 was to look through more places. camelot bar was a cramped second story dive (a room with a bar in the middle) and maybe 5-6 chicas at the time, none compelling. checked out the pirate club (ave. 10 between calles 12 and 14) , but i didn't have the timing right. friendly bartender and just 3 chicas. probably too early. well-furnished and slick enough to be gringo-friendly, though not overly spacious.
headed to arcadas again and saw more chicas than before, with quality appearing above average. carolina came over again and it didn't take much to get me to go for the lap dance-sexo bit again. this time, though, i think i was cheated by the upstairs timekeeper by as much as 10 minutes, so it didn't end like the one before. i guess there's a trust-but-verify element.
dropped by the gringo gulch places just to look around, especially with the key largo going. as mongering venues go, it has the best aesthetics and atmospherics of anyplace i've seen. a real papa hemingway-type place only partially compromised by tourism and with lots of freelancers circulating around. the live band also adds a lot.
wasn't expecting to take anyone but spotted a darker-than-usual and bigger-than-usual girl obviously not of tica origin. in heels she was almost 6 feet, curvy and proportionate except for a bit of junk in the trunk. her name was meliza, a 23-year old from the dominican republic. nice smile and the latina / black combination. i offered cincuenta and she was immediately okay with that. this would involve a taxi ride to the hotel and getting through the front desk, which went fine (she handed over the i'd card).
performance-wise she was that amusing combination of trying to be a bit hurried and businesslike but not being able to totally hide that she likes sex. she did the short cbj and then climbed on top. the full, totally natural boobs were a great feature. she also had more tightness and muscle control than carolina had, which ultimately got the job done. i paid in a colones / dolares combination plus 2k for the taxi, and walked her out with no problem.
on night 3 i again hit the pirate at the wrong time, this time after a bunch of guys had blown through. they gave me the tour of upstairs. the rooms are indeed nicer and more recently renovated than anything you see in locals' places. they have showers, but only the larger $100 vip room has a tv. i think $52 is what a chica and regular room would be, but again, the selection was depleted.
taberna vips has 2 or 3 more to choose from, including a curvy chica trying to look like madonna in her heyday that almost got the call. gringo gulch had the numbers between the del rey and key largo, but it's a bummer to make 2 or 3 passes through with only lukewarm candidates (and seeing the same ones repeatedly). one of the better lookers wasn't much of a talker and wouldn't budge below ochenta. seems like when you're having one of those nights the little bits of unusual bad luck just keep piling on. when i was about to head out, meliza shows up again and i quickly take her. longer performance this time but same ultimate result.
on night #4 (a friday) i had noticed the long lines at bcr atms, which should have been a clue. the pirate club was packed with a mix of locals and gringos. they'd have a girl on the pole and occasionally one or two dancing on the bar, plus a barfine to be raffled off later (there was a cover charge that night that went to the raffle ticket. 3k, if memory serves). all of which was fine for a night out with maybe something to look at, but not good for the m / f ratio. good to see 'them doing well, though.
* * *
outside of the mongering i tried lunch at kalu in barrio amon (pretty good sliders and excellent cheesecake, though not cheap). also la esquina de buenos aires, the well-reviewed steakhouse, for the beef tenderloin medallions & bernaise sauce (c13, 100 net) and empanadas (c1800). steak was indeed excellent, and they cooked it right. dunno if they could go toe-to-toe with places in the usa like ruth's chris, but i had no reason to believe it wasn't the best locally. good atmosphere as well, though that night (a wednesday) they had only a few tables for walk-ins.
better restaurants are generally not cheap in san jose, with costs about the same as midsized usa cities. this seems to be the case all down the line, with mcdonald's about the same in price as well. (no doubt there are some good sodas out there that expats would swear by, but on short trips the temptation is to hit the splashier places.). the cafe at teatro nacional is a real gem, with great 19th-century atmosphere and prices sightly better than a usa starbucks. otoh, the restaurant at the santo tomas hotel had gone downhill, with the menu greatly downsized but steaks that weren't too bad at c7000. they'd need better signage, a functioning separate entrance and some marketing to have a higher profile.
checked out the museo nacional as a touristy activity. kind of a unique space (a former fort) , with some of the old quarters preserved and others converted to exhibit halls.
btw, the citibank near av. 1 and calle 1 not far from the hotel came in very handy, with no surcharges from the atms.
weather didn't really cooperate (afternoon rain on every day, rain most of the day on one of the days). the hotel europa's pool was open and looked inviting but didn't get to give it a try. also thought about doing a daytrip to jaco just to give it a look for possible future reference, but would have needed to get up early to pull it off and that just didn't happen.
bus connection worked fine for getting to the airport, and i had gotten there 3 hours early, so there were only 10 or so people ahead of me in line. spirit can be a real mess, as there aren't any kiosks and check-in lines can move slowly, thanks in large part to the baggage charges and arguments there. i had gotten the rt on miles rather than dollars, paying only about $50 in taxes. departure tax was $29, and thankfully i had the cash. signs now say that credit card payments go through as cash advances, which for most people is a bad deal.
so overall it was a good, relaxing trip. i tend to put most of the time / money resources in that area into longer biannual se asia trips, but it's nice to know that good results are possible after much-shorter flights. (tom: if you're reading this, the email didn't go thru. pm me.)

Thanks for the report. One of the different ones I have seen in a while. Let me know when you are heading this way again and we can have a beer or 2. I'll be glad to show you around some of the more popular spots for mongers coming down like the Sportsmen, New Fantasy, Mona Lisa Hotel Little Havana and the new Zona II opening up. I highly recommend going to Jaco for a day or 2 if you can do it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights. Keep reporting.

After a two night stay at the Sportmens's I am a big fan and although not a business hotel, I got my work done and they provide excellent WiFi and a very good lunch. For the sports guys there are lots of televisions and it was a great place to watch both Costa Rica and the USA qualify for the World Cup.
The bartenders are wonderful and I want to return for the a visit with the blonde Venezuelan! The drinks are priced right and plenty of beer specials. The staff are very nice and even the cleaning lady was cheerful and made sure my mini bar had lots of adult things provided.
I used one of the vans outside to shuttle me around and although a little pricey, the guy waited for me a eacch stop and made for very easy air conditioned comfort of the hot and humid days.
There is always plenty of company to be had and there is no shortage of girls of every shape, age and color. The best is that they are all very polite and not aggressive and I am sure that they are screened for compatibility and the clientele. My room was in the newer section and it was peaceful and only two steps up from the bar and five feet up the hallway.
My largest concern was how the bill would read for my expense report but not to worry, it reads some non descriptive corporation and an itemized bill that passed with flying colors by our audit staff.
I need to return for two more days of work to the Sportsmen's soon. I highly recommends it for your health and sanity. Great job folks and see you soon.

Airport:
The airport is San Jose is fairly well laid out; modern with free wireless internet and the directions to immigration and customs are fairly easy to follow. Immigrations and customs are both relatively easy to pass through. Once you exit on the ground floor you will find taxis available as well as your driver if you arranged one. There is a departure tax of $28 dollars that you pay on the departure level. Many chose to pay their departure tax once they arrive, if you chose to pay upon arrival make sure you do not lose your recite during your stay or you will have to pay again before you leave. You can also pay your departure tax at the Sportsman's lodge, again be sure not to lose your recite. If you chose to pay your departure tax upon arrival you cross the street on the ground arrivals area go up stairs to the departure level and enter the airport the booths to pay your departure tax will be on the right. Next to the booths will also be a money exchange which gives you better rates than the money exchange on the ground arrivals floor. You never want to exchange your money on the arrivals level because you get terrible rates. Personally I don't think there is ever any reason to exchange your money in San Jose (SJ) which will be explained below in the money section.
Transportation:
As mentioned above you will find a variety of taxis at the airport, price is generally anywhere from $25 to $30 for a taxi to take you to any of the hotels in Gringo Gulch, this is the monger area of SJ. You may be able to go up stairs to the departure level and flag down a taxi that has just dropped someone off and offer them $20 they may or may not accept this. The service I always use every time I visit Costa Rica (CR) is Kelvin Pinnoch SJ vets probably already know him bbexecutivepro@yahoo.com (contact information posted with his permission) he charges $85 one way to Jaco and $20 for an airport pick up to your hotel in SJ. He is also available for brothel and night life tours as well. I've known Kelvin ever since my first trip to SJ and I use him every time I go to the CR.
Once in the gulch you can pick up cabbies as they are plentiful and are always driving around the gulch and easy to get. The cabs are all collard red and once you get in insist that they use the meter.
Hotels:
There are a variety of monger friendly hotels in gringo gulch. The main ones are the Sportsman's Lodge which has chicas on site, I will talk more about this hotel below but I cannot say enough good things about Bill the owner. The Hotel Del Ray which has chicas on site and is ground zero for the monger action, I will speak more on this hotel below. The Hotel Little Havana which is going through some renovations and changes and is currently separating itself from the massage portion and will become two establishments the massage / chica section will now revert back to its old name Zona Blue and the hotel will be separate next door. The Mona Lisa which is also a casino, when I stopped by the place was pretty slow with few to no customers and no visible girls on site. The Dunn Inn which is my wingman's personal favorite, the Amistad which is around the corner from the Sportsmen's lodge and is becoming my personal favorite. I stayed there a couple nights on this trip and I was pleased with the hotel $60 flat fee for a standard room no chica fee no need to become a CRT member for a discount. Has a pretty good complimentary breakfast in the morning. There are train tracks which are right next to the Amistad, I have heard the owner has made some kind of arrangement so the train does not start blowing its whistle at 5:am. All I can say is I never heard a thing while I was staying there. There are a variety of other hotels in the gringo gulch area that are monger friendly as well that I am sure others will be happy to mention. The above hotels are a great place for a first timer to the SJ monger scene as you will be able to find likeminded individuals who will be happy to give advice and show a first timer around.
A word or two about the CRT card this is a web site, if you join you become a card carrying member the cost is around $40 a year. The CRT card will give you discounts at some (not all) of the establishments in gringo gulch. The Del Ray does not subscribe so you do not get any discount from the Del Ray. The Sportsman's will give you a 10% discount on your meals as well as a 10% discount on your hotel bill. The Hotel Little Havana has a $10 chica fee each time you bring a chica back to the hotel, however if you are a member there is no chica fee. The Dunn Inn also gives a 10% discount on your room cost if you are a member. There are a few others establishments that will also give you a discount and I have found despite what the web site says there are a few establishments listed that do not give a discount.
Chicas:
There are some very attractive women available for P4P in SJ. The good thing about SJ is it is a mecca for chicas from all over central and South America as well as the Caribbean. You will find a fairly large number of chicas from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Columbia as well as Ticas (Costa Rican girls) and from a variety of other central and South American Countries. The main P4P locations are the Hotel Del Ray which includes the Key Largo, more information will be explained below, and the Sportsman's Lodge. The Hotel Little Havana has Massage / sex girls available in house but as explained above is currently dividing the business into two. There are also a variety of other Massage / sex parlors in the gulch and nearby as well as strip / sex establishments in the gulch and nearby. This was a completely unplanned trip to SJ so I did not venture into any of these establishments on this trip. However, if you like you can do a search under my name where you will find I have written extensively on the Massage / sex as well as the strip / sex establishments in SJ.
I have never come across street walkers in SJ. There are trannys working the streets at night in the gulch and on one occasion I did have one girl who was standing with a group of trannys approach me and pull her pants down and show me she wasn't a tranny but she was far from attractive and I had no intentions of taking her.
Services:
For the most part the service from the SJ chicas is good. However, I want to stress that in SJ you will have to negotiate for BBBJ as well as DATY this is not under stood as being part of the deal as it is in many other monger locations throughout the world. You always want to establish what services you want and at what price before you take a chica. I know some guys have complained that negotiating like this up front kills the mood and the atmosphere for them. These guys usually end up being told its $100 or more by the chica after they are done and had to accept a CBJ and just standard unenthusiastic performance. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't love it isn't even romance. The only thing the chicas see in us is our money and their goal is to get as much of it as possible for doing as little as possible. You should always, always, always negotiate service and price up front before taking the chica back to your room, not only in SJ but no matter where in the world you are mongering. Many of the chicas in SJ give a BBBJ but many will not, many allow DATY but many will not. From my experience about half will give BBBJ and allow DATY and about half will not.
Another golden rule is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER pay up front this is a big no no, every monger I know and I do mean every monger I know who has paid up front either in SJ or some other place has gotten burned at least once. I know several mongers who have been burned in SJ. The chicas ask for the money first the newbie pays the chica has some excuse she has to run to the front desk real quick to meet her friend and boom she's gone, your left in your room with a hard dick and empty pockets feeling like a fool. If she ask for the money up front politely and in a friendly manner tell her you will pay after the sex if she insist tell her why you pay after the sex, so you don't get burned and so she will have an incentive to give you good sex. If this isn't enough take the money out and show her you have the money promise her that you are a good guy and you are going to pay her after the sex. At the extreme you can take the money out and leave it on your side of the bed near you and your stuff, never, never leave it on the counter near her or her stuff and never pay her first. If she insists let her go that's a huge red flat that this isn't going to be a good time. I have never paid up front, I have never been burned.
On the flip side if she performs as agreed you have to pay her, even if she wasn't any good at it or she had a terrible attitude, if she did what the two of you agreed you have to pay her. How would you like to have sex with an unattractive overweight women more than twice your age who wants you to do all sorts of deviant acts with your mouth on her body and then she doesn't pay you for it afterword's, not cool. Not paying these girls after they do what was agreed is underhanded and puts you on the level of low life scum. Of course is she doesn't do what was agreed at the agreed price then there is room to negotiate, but if she did do something then you have to pay her something.
Prices:
Most chicas start out asking for $100 for a standard service. I personally have never paid $100 in SJ and do not like when others pay this amount, it sets a bad precedent that the standard price is $100 and then all chicas will expect $100. I paid anywhere from $60 to $80 and always get a BBBJ and DATY, the only time I have paid $100 in SJ is when a chica has thrown in her Culo as a way of getting me to take her. If a girl will not accept my price offer and do the services I am requesting she gets passed over and I go on to the next one. I would also add that I always approach the chica I think is the hottest one in the club if she's not game at my price I go to what I consider to be the next hottest. I have never gone below what I would consider to be the third hottest before one of them accepts my offer and offers the services I like. There is also the occasion when a chica will approach me who I think is attractive but not the most attractive in the place, she starts rubbing me in all the right places offering to do the things I like at the price I pay and boom its back to the room.
Sportsman's Lodge:
This is a main watering hole for P4P chicas. Chicas start gathering in the early afternoon and are around until the place closes at midnight. It's a bar restaurant and hotel, room rates start around $60 and go up from there. The place is clean and the rooms are nice and have Wi-Fi, there is also a small gym there. You can also find a great group of guys staying there and this is a great place to stay if it's your first time in SJ as you will meet many fellow mongers who will be happy to show you the ropes and lend advice. Not to mention there are chicas right on the premises you will have no problem finding chicas at the Sportsman's. Bill the owner is A number 1 when it comes to making sure his guest are happy. Had one minor incident with a new chica and Bill was right there to straighten things out and make sure I was happy.
Hotel Del Ray:
This is the main venue for mongering in SJ, chicas are available at the Hotel Del Ray 24 hours a day the main bar and casino never close so you can always find a chica no matter what time of day you need one. Of course the crowd gets going in the mid afternoon and stays busy until the wee hours of the night. In the early mornings the number of chicas and the quality can get low. The hotel Del Ray is also a casino, the bar within the hotel is called the Blue Marlin and across the street from the Del Ray you will find their restaurant as well as the Key Largo bar. The chicas will walk back and forth between the Del Ray and the Key Largo. The restaurant is open 24 hours as well and you can order from within the Del Ray however it is a little pricy in my opinion. Chicas generally start out asking $100 but will accept $60 or $80 with the standard price being $80 late at night and during the day it is much easier to get them for $60.
The hotel rates can vary and the hotel charges an $11 dollar chica fee every time you take a chica up to your room which you pay upon check out. If you are a high volume monger like myself this could be quite expensive. There is also a short time hotel next to the Del Ray that all the chicas know about. I have never used it so don't know prices or quality of the rooms. All chicas you pick up from here as well as from the Sportsman's will go back to your room with you. You simply need to get a cab and she will leave with you. There are cabbies in front of the Del Ray who will ask if you need a cab as soon as you exit. These guys usually charge twice the rate as other cabbies and I never use these guys. I always grab a cab that is passing by and there are always cabs passing by and use these guys instead, I tell them to turn on the meter. Price to any hotel in the gulch shouldn't be any more than a couple dollars at most.
Gringo Gulch:
This is the main area for mongering; here you will find the Sportsman's Lodge the Hotel Del Ray and Key Largo, the Hotel Little Havana, the Hotel Amistad and the Dunn Inn as well as some Massage / sex Parlors. Personally I believe the area is quite walkable I've walked to every one of these places within the zone and personally I believe the area is quite safe. Many will advise you to not walk in the gulch at night and they are probably right. However, on every trip I walk the gulch from Sportsman's or the Amistad to the Del Ray as late as two or even three O'clock in the morning on my own and have never had a problem. Even at that hour of the morning taxis will be out and one will pass you at least every five minutes while you are walking. There are trannys out in the gulch at night. I have never had a problem with them and usually just cross to the other side of the street but have also walked by them they have never bothered me when I let it be known by shaking my hand no smiling politely and picking up my pace that I was not interested.
Money:
San Jose is one place where you will not have to exchange your money if you do not want to. You can easily get by on SJ on dollars every place in the gulch will accept them and just about every monger place in SJ will accept them. There are some low cost Massage / sex establishments on Calle 6 which cater mainly to the locals where it may be better if not essential to use colon's but apart from these establishments every other place will accept dollars including local super markets and stores. Most places now have the cash registered to give you back the correct change in colon's at the current exchange rate. When paying in dollars almost all places give you back the change in colon's. However, as stated most places now are calibrated to give you back the change at the current correct exchange rate. The Costa Rican Colon usually exchanges at around 500 to 1 to the dollar so a simple rule of thumb when trying to determine the value of your colon's is to drop the last three zeros and double the number on the bill. If you have a 1000 colon drop the last three numbers and double the number so 100 colon's is roughly the equivalent of $2. A 20,000 colon note drop the past three zeros and double the number so that would roughly be $40.
Language:
The official language is Spanish and every one including the chicas speak Spanish. However, the gulch is geared towards foreigners and language will never be a problem for you in the gulch or SJ for that matter. You will find enough locals who speak English or ex pats who speak Spanish and most of the chicas will know enough English to seal the deal even the ones who don't know English Know what you are there for and it will be easy for you to come to an agreement with her.
Safety:
As mentioned above I always felt safe in the gulch and SJ for that matter. However, I don't do stupid things and avoid anything that looks questionable. As stated above the gulch is safe to walk during the day alone and I have walked the gulch alone at night. However, if anything was to ever look dangerous to me I would stop and go back or I grab a cab that is passing by. I don't take chances and always chose to be safe rather than sorry. When traveling outside of the gulch I always use taxis and only walk with a group of others especially at night until I know the area and believe it to be safe.
Final Thoughts:
You will find many attractive women from all over Latin America in San Jose working in the P4P scene. You will also find many friendly mongers to hang with who are happy to give advice and guidance and you will have a good time in SJ. However you will also pay a little more than in many other, not all, but in many other monger destinations throughout the world and you will also have to bargain more here than in many other, not all, but many other monger destinations throughout the world for things like BBBJ and DATY. Many of the girls will treat you nice and give you good service, however, the GFE you get from girls at many of the other, not all, but many of the other venues throughout the world is much better. I have noticed over the past few trips to SJ that the numbers and the crowd is not what it used to be when I first started going. The numbers at the Del Ray and the Key Largo is nowhere near what it what is was when I first started going. Mongers are realizing they can get women of equal quality in looks for half or less than half the price and get twice the service at other venues throughout the world. What the Costa Rican P4P chicas and the monger industry in general in the CR has to realize is that they are competing in a global market. When you can get women equal in looks for half the price and twice the service, asking for $100 offering limited service covered everything and treating the monger anticipatively in the bedroom like he is the Ebola virus is not going to cut it in a global P4P market.
On another Note:
On June 3rd I arrived in Bangkok. On September 2nd I left San Jose. During that time I visited six countries nine monger locations and slept with over 200 women. I write this and post this from the hotel Cascadas above the Hong Kong Club in Tijuana where I am about to go down stairs to what I consider to be the Hottest strip club in the North American Continent if not the hottest strip club in all of the Americas where in my opinion the Hottest P4P chicas in Mexico come to work.

Chris[/QUOTE]Sorry to disagree, CR chicas will never realize they are competing in a global market, because they are not-very very very few of the gringo visitors are world travelers to other monger destinations like you. CR mongers are not going to start abandoning short trips to CR to travel 24 hours to Asia for a cheaper GFE, although some guys have chosen Asia and Colombia and the longer travel and cite GFE and $$ as reasons, but not nearly anywhere remotely near enough in numbers for CR chicas to start worrying about global market prices-the gringos are leaving-thinking.
And, even though there are slower nights, the DelRey has been crowded as usual most Wed-Saturdays. The fairly new trend of the past few years of alot of CR chicas crashing 1-4 nights at Jaco Beach hostel cheapies and working mainly the Cocal Hotel during peak season has hurt DelRey numbers, no q. But that's why the DR has bought not 1 but 2 hotels in Jaco. But now that tourism will die down at Jaco Beach until December, the DR's numbers will be back up consistently. I think you reported you were in Jaco Beach for Labor Day in early Sept and bailed back to SJ.
But, other then that, you made a good report with alot of good info that will be helpful for guys making their 1st trip to CR.

Totally agree and the reason (along with the "joiner fees") I would never travel to CR again unless I have professional business there.In comparison, chicas in Panama start at $150, but can be had for $80. Same holds true for SJO; you can get an afternoon / early evening worker for $50. $60. Because there are so many girls in one place and it's much quicker to get there than Thailand, I love SJO.
I've been to the DR a few times, and I've been to Thailand before. From what I've read, the girls in CR are pretty but the experience might be disappointing. I am wondering if a weekend in SJO is going to be worth it or not. I enjoyed Thailand very much and the same goes for DR. But I also like both of those places because they offer more GFE and it's great for the value. To those that have visited CR recently, how does it compare to some of these other destinations? Is it worth it?
Or is it better to go to Colombia? My Spanish is limited but I can speak a little bit and am getting better after a few trips to DR.

You might have to work a little harder to find a GFE but it's out there.

Too many gringos have discovered it and screwed it up. The girls are mostly mechanical even though you will find a few exceptions. After 8 at night you are limited to the gringo hangouts where the girls have become 100 bucks for short time. You might get them off this a little but don't expect the same service. I have been to Costa Rica 21 times from 1997 to 2012 and will probably never go again. It is a pretty country but the influx of Americans has changed the place immensely. JMHO and I am fluent in Spanish also.

JMHO and I am fluent in Spanish also.No q cost of living and playing in CR has gone up. Grocery, gasoline, restaurant, bar prices are high. The locals struggle to survive. Prices for girls are still all over the place, from $30 for a short timer at an MP, to $60 for a nice daytimer at the Rey, to some insisting on $100 and sticking to it at night, especially in Jaco. Predicting the quality of service is always an iffy thing if you don't know the girl, need to build up your list of good providers. Of the ones I didn't know, I don't remember many that were bad, nor many that were great.
The problem is what's the alternative? An expensive 24 hour flight to Asia? And the flight back is a killer. Alot of guys are going to Medellin, Colombia and loving it, but that, though not as far, is still alot farther and I don't think you cn get a direct to Medellin, so that makes for a real long day too. And English isn't nearly as prevalent and the monger places spread out all over a big city. In SJ, a 3 hr flight from southern US, the action is condensed into roughly a square mile. Makes it alot easier to hunt. Only 2 hs to Jaco Beach or 3 hs to really nice beaches. Can get by for the most part with really basic Spanish, eEglish widely spoken in CR maybe not so much with MP girls.
With your Spanish speaking ability, maybe Colombia would be a viable option? It gets lots of rave reviews on another CR board.
I agree with your gripes but CR still has the advantage due to lack of reasonable alternatives for me.

I use places like Costa Rica and Panama as quick long weekend getaway's. You did mention the long 24 hour haul to Asia, but to me its worth every minute of flight time and every dollar spent. No mongering place on the earth can surpass Phuket, Thailand.

Thank for the info. I greatly appreciate it. I travel a lot and long distance. Travel isn't much of a concern for me as I am used to it, but I do think Asia is a but further out if I only have 4-5 days to visit. Thailand though is incredible, but I would like to find an alternative that is closer and not too pricey (pricey to me is like 50 euros for CBJ and quickie in AMS which does not provide a GFE). I am not fluent in Spanish so Colombia concerns me a bit. Medellin does get rave reviews but everyone also says Spanish is a must to really have a good time there. Safety also concerns me but having been to Sosua, and walking around late at night I am not greatly worried (even though Sosua is small).
Anyone have thoughts about Rio or Buenos Aires? I hear women from both cities are beautiful and there is loads to do in the daytime. But price wise? Experience wise? GFE possibilities? Safety concerns?
Or is CR better than those options above? With regards to safety, I am a sensible person. I am not flashy, lock things up, do not get drunk and make a scene in public and know by wander into bad areas of town and down questionable alleys in major cities. Knock on wood.

On costs I'd rate SJ on par with Bangkok now and maybe even slightly less, as Bangkok has gone up quite a bit. Girls in the foreigner-oriented places think they should get B2000 ($65) short time at least and not less than B1500 ($50). That's on top of B600-800 for the bar if it's a go-go, and even the non-barfine places can be expensive. There also isn't as accessible a locals scene where you can do the on-premises thing more cheaply.
Pattaya is a little better, except at go-gos. With beer bars you can negotiate B1, 000-ish ST, and for girls on the street as low as B500, but ones at the low end can be a bit scary.
Cost-wise Cambodia has to be at the floor, formerly $5 ST but more like $10 now, but not the best lookers and a tough language barrier. Udon Thani brothels in Thailand are B500-800 ($16-26) but often get heat from police.
IMO the best GFE country is the Philippines. Yeah, many girls, both ordinary and in the biz, are looking for the ticket out, but the personality also often really works. Thais are much more businesslike and mercenary, quite possibly having a Thai boyfriend or even husband upcountry who's OK with what the girl does if it brings in money. With Filipinas there's a much greater danger of falling in love and even an informal "three day rule" about that. Price-wise the FLs at Manila Bay Cafe might go for P1, 500-2, 000 ST ($40-50-ish) , whereas the package in Angeles might be P2, 000 (supposed to be LT but is often ST).
The Philippines tends to produce sharply divided opinion, with detractors complaining of grot, poverty and any number of everyday hassles. It's not as aesthetically pleasing as Thailand and undeniably poorer and overpopulated, and it's easy to be down on the place if the GFEs haven't kicked in yet. But it's consistently for me the site of the highest highs and maybe some of the lowest lows, all attributable to the human element. Some guys even take girls from the Philippines with them TO Thailand or other countries.
Anyway, I'll be doing some initial research in Colombia and the D. R, so will test all the theories. The shorter flights for this hemisphere can be a huge advantage, as jet lag for Asia and the long flights can be really nasty.

I am not flashy, lock things up, do not get drunk and make a scene in public and know by wander into bad areas of town and down questionable alleys in major cities. Knock on wood.Costa Rica has very good looking women from all over central America. Quality has gone down since authorities started cracking down on girls from other countries coming there for prostitution. I believe it has kept.
Out many of the good looking colombians.
Having said that Costa Rica ticas are a wild bunch themselves. You can find dark to blond varieties with varying shapes. They all have excellent big boobs. I have enjoyed many of the girls and some are real GFE.
I have taken them on trips and they are excellent companions. Costwise they try high amounts in Del ray-BM but once they know you it is a different story. For 4-5 days to a week it is not worth going to SE Asia.
Although I love Philippines women.
Servicewise some give good service in CR. Trick is to find the right one.

Knock on wood.If travel isn't that big of a deal, I suggest you visit all of these places. Then you can decide which is best for you. But if you intend to travel extensively in Latin America, you should learn some Spanish.
What I did, starting in 2004, was to attend Spanish schools in various countries. The best school I found was in San Jose, and I attended classes there five times over a period of two years, for a week or two at a time. Most schools provide "field trips" that get you into places and situations that you wouldn't normally be able to easily access. And they give you perfect cover if you need an excuse to go somewhere. And then you have plenty of time in the evenings to rock and role.
The Costa Rica Language Academy was my favorite because of the quality of the program. It actually has credential agreements with US Universities that allow students to get credit for attending their program. In Guatemala, my "instructors" didn't even have high school diplomas. My second choice would be Simon Bolivar in Quito, Ecuador. But Quito is at 3,000 meters, is a much further trip, and I don't know about the current political environment. I had a private tutor in Bolivia, and that was an interesting experience.
I haven't been to Costa Rica since about 2008, so I can't comment on the current situation regards the P4P scene. As bad as some of the commenters seem to paint the picture, from what I read (between the lines) it still is about 100 times better than anything you can get in the USA for maybe half or a third of the price tag.
Time's a wastin! Get ye hence and report back soon.
I've been at the Del Rey before and have been here now for almost a week. I am staying for their Halloween Party, which they have begun to decorate for.
I notice that during the day, and the peak of the day in the late afternoon, almost all the woman are from Costa Rica, and they are a sweet, pretty bunch. At night there is a much more international crowd with many from neighboring countries of Panama and Nicaragua. They are also a sweet and pretty bunch. I think that a lot of the CR women go home in the evening to take care of the kids.
Also, prices are lower. Almost everybody asks for $100 but everybody seems willing to haggle to 70 or 80 and a number will make offers for less. Many, I think particularly during the day, are willing to give a BBBJ, and some with CIM. At the low price.
Some day this will end and these years will be remembered as the glory years, I think. An awful lot of men are walking around the hotel with a "I can't believe this is real" look on their faces.
You might have saw me at the Del Ray today. I was in there for about two minutes, but the staff didn't like me because I look young (even though my IDs and Passport show I am not a minor). The doorman harassed me until I left.
I'm only going to be in San Jose for two days on this trip: today and the day before my flight home. Mid-20s and never done anything with a girl, was hoping to change that on this trip but it's not looking promising.

Check out the tables by the front door / small bar for sure. You're right, alot of them have to bail because of their babysitter arrangement. Night crowd is different but much more plentiful.
Whether someday it will end has been an oft debated issue in many venues for years. It did in Puerto Rico, now mainly out of the newspaper in veiled ads from what I've read. Personally, I doubt it will happen in CR, and if it did it would only drive it underground into the mama-san era of days of old. Too engrained in CR and not just the gringo gulch area. The Ticos are big customers and would find a way.

The Dunn is physically ok, but there's never anyone in there. The Amistad is probably the best overall deal in San Jose. It's one of the nicer places, and the all inclusive deal is hard to beat.

Hello,
I posted my experience about CR and enjoyed my short stay. Trying to see should I come back for another visit or try another place.
What are other places you would rank that would be enjoyable. Flying from States and keep Costs in mind.
Been to CR,
Bangkok,
Sao Paulo, BR.
London.
In terms of cost and quality of women. Is CR the cheapest from USA?
Thanks.

The Gringo Gulch area is gearing up for Halloween 2013, in San Jose. This past Saturday was a great day to be in the Gulch. Football, costumes and parties galore. The Sportsmen in my opinion is still the best place in all of Costa Rica to catch a game. 14 big screen TV's and all of your pals, makes this place feel like a fraternity. Bill always has the FSU game on for me on at least 1 TV, if not multiple. I had a pleasant conversation with Tommy of the Mona Lisa, about what all was happening over there. There are a lot of positive things to report for you, the traveler. They now have safes for all the rooms, something that has been needed for quite some time. He has addressed the internet issue, contracted with a tech and should have full signal throughout the hotel, in the next few days. He has purchased new T. V. 's for all the rooms that didn't have them before and will be installing them in the next few weeks as well. All changes are sure to make your stay more enjoyable. I am really excited to see the changes.
The FSU vs N. C. State game was over by the end of the 1st quarter (35-0) and the Alabama vs Tennessee game was not far behind. In the 3rd quarter, my regular football pals and I decided to take a trip down to the new Scores and Zona II. They had not been there and wanted to see what all the fuss was about first hand. First stop is Scores (formally HLH) to show my friends the new bar and digital big screen TV's. The place was jumping with a lot of regulars that I know but my biggest surprise was seeing Nela behind the bar working. You might know Nela as the lady who has worked at the Sportsman for years. She and Rebecca were the last two what I consider originals at the Sportsmen. (Longest tenure I should say). Rebecca is still at the Sportsman, still one of my favorites and is a doll. I was somewhat sadden because I spend most of my football and big sporting events at the Sportsman and now she is gone. She is one of my favorite bartenders and servers of all time. Teaming up with Carol is sure to be a great asset for Scores. They are hard combination to beat. Anyways, with her permission, I took a pic of her in her wonder woman outfit and wished her luck. (boy can she sure fill out that costume!) I spent some time in conversation with Kim, the new owner. I took her as a very nice lady who has made so many positive changes to the place since Jason and she took over. It's refreshing to see a Gringa in a guy's world, here in the gulch. I know it's a challenge but I think she and Jason has the right attitude and determination to pull it off. A little bit about the place, it now features very nice granite bar tops, big TV's, and they brought the big chairs back to relax in. However, those seats fill up quick. The kitchen is open and I hear the food is good. Didn't have time for any, but will check it out later. Jeff is still running the day to day operations and is always pleasant to chat with. I posted somewhere earlier that I was not going to comment on Scores until I felt the dust had settled, well I think it has. I see nothing but good things in the future for them. They now have 8 full time rooms and 4 short-time rooms for your enjoyment. Great bar, good food and a party atmosphere, is a hard combination to beat. On this day, the working girls was few but talented, at least what I could see from my point of view. Not as many ladies as I had expected but I feel this is about to change, as they tend to migrate where the guys are. That's why the D. R. And S. L. Has been so successful over the years. Please leave your camera at home or at your hotel because Kim gets pretty upset if you try to snap a photo. I tried with my old IPhone 3 (too dark and no flash) and was asked not to do that. I totally understand and respect it.
Next stop, Big Jimmy and the Zona II, next door and on the corner. I was there on Jimmy opening night but had not been back since because of my hectic work load. Jimmy was there and so were the ladies. They were having a cowboy's night and the ladies did not disappoint. It was something different and nice to see them in those outfits. There seemed to be twice as many ladies at the Zona II as there was at Scores. I think it's a totally different concept. Zona has 4 full time suites and 8 short time rooms. The rooms are all new and the 4 fulltime rooms are spectacular, each with its own stripper poll. The short time rooms are newly remolded as well and each has a shower. The bar staff is very friendly and service is great. Only wish Jimmy had more of a sports bar atmosphere but I think he wants to take if back to more of the original Zona Blue days when Eddie had it. Not everyone likes the sports that I like and a lot of guys are down here for other real live contact sports, if you know what I mean. Wise Ash seems to be doing great in the cigar shop. Best selection in the entire gulch for you stogie smokers. Best of luck brother Jimmy, however, I don't feel like you will need it.
In conclusion, this week is Halloween week. If you were lucky enough to get a room somewhere in the gulch, you are in for the time of your life. If not, you might have to cab it or wish you were here. Parties galore and the ladies really take Halloween seriously. All kinds of sexy costume will fill San Jose bar and clubs in the next coming days. Flashes are sure to be going off and photos will surely be posted on a lot of the websites. Got to love it. The Gringo gulch is alive and the walking dead are sure to arrive. It's the place to be this week. I personally think the gulch is stronger than ever. No way we had this many parties 10 years ago when I first came here. All places are unique and has something to offer for just about everyone. The Gulch is back and very soon word will get around that, contrary to what some have said and posted, this is and for a longest time, has always been, the place to be. Go by and visit the entire local establishment I talked about today and tell the the Bigg Dogg sent you. You'll be glad you did.
. The Sportsmen in my opinion is still the best place in all of Costa Rica to catch a game. 14 big screen TV's and all of your pals, makes this place feel like a fraternity. .Sportsmen's is a good gringo hang, I wouldn't call 14 inch screens very good. Bar food, so so and $$$, fraternity is well said. It's a frat house, great place to meet some guys, but not to stay overnight and not to eat.

now if a guy is in there sloppy drunk or grabbing girls on the ass that would be a different story.
aside from that, should not be a problem for a mid 20's guy looking fr some tail.

I guess I will try my luck somewhere else once I am back in San Jose. Is the Dunn Inn a good choice?If you are looking for a place to sleep:
Dunn is fine, I like it there.
Across the street is Mona Lisa, also nice.
Down the road about 1-2 blocks is Hotel Little Havana. You can get a room there, and they have girls on site for fun.
If you just want some women:
Go to DelRey again.
Key Largo (across from DelRey gets going late at night)
Sportsmans Lodge.
Hotel Little Havana.
Check out IDEM (ask cab to take you there). Its a small working girl house with some sexy ladies. Its just a 2-3 min cab ride or you can walk there if you know where it is. Its about 1 mile from Del Rey.
There is also another working girl house on the same street as Dunn inn (only a few blocks down the road). To get there, exit Dunn inn, turn right and walk about 3-4 blocks. You will see the place across the street, with 1 or 2 security guys out front.
Have fun!

S. L, maybe I can help. But I must say I am bias, because I live here. I think C. R. Has many advantages. More than likely it is the lowest or near the lowest in airfare from most major USA Hubs. R. T out of Miami at $250 and I just got a fare alert yesterday, $460 from LAX. Flights are short, so in most cases, you can hit the ground running and monger the very first day you arrive. Women are exotic, beautiful and many different nationalities to chose from. If you like a lighter color, get a San Jose girl. Darker, then you have the Nica's, Dominicans, a Tica from Limon or Jaco will do it for you. The price for P4P is anywhere from $30. $200, depending on which M. P. You visit and your negotiation skills and whether you want 30 minute to TLN. The hotel price are in line and some offer much more better deals than you will find elsewhere, like L. A. All inclusive $79 a night deal. Nice queen room. 3 meals a day off of the menu, anything you want, even the surf and turf, plus all you can drink, beer, wine and well drinks. I know of no place on earth that has this deal. Also, so much to do and see other than mongering, make this country much desirable for the average mongerer. Surfing, Volcanos, world class fishing, ATV tours, zip lines, white water ratfing and many other excursions and tours. The weather in my opinion, in the central valley is some of the best in the world. You will not sweat your butt off in San Jose. I always suggest that if you have time, you split your trip between San Jose and Jaco. Each is unique and has something different to offer but both place has world class ladies just waiting to put a smile on your face. Good luck with you decision.

P. L. Just wanted to update you on what is going on. The Hotel Little Havana is no more. After the fallout with the electric company, one corp was dissolved and the other sold. The building was split in half and divided. New owners came in and remolded both. The building on the corner is now the Zona II. It has working girls. 4 full time rooms. 8 short time rooms and a bar. Bruce still has his cigar shop on the premises. The other half of the HLH was sold and is now Scores. Costa Rica Scores to be exact. They are down from 5 owners to a husband and wife team of Jason and Kim. It too has been remolded. The have girls on the premises, a bar, food. 8 full time rooms and 4 short time.

Am currently in CR but out of any major town. A window has come up for a long weekend break this weekend. I see the options as San Jose or Puerto Vieja. Is the latter option crazy if I'm looking for girls? Ideally I'm hoping to find girls for TLN at some kind of reasonable price (whatever that is here). Grateful for any thoughts.

O. L. D. One Lucky DoggSportsmen's Lodge is your pick of the month, next month it will be another. You're up to at least 5 that I can count of of places you say have great food or entertainment and really are just so-so.
You are in the taxi biz, you need to keep up good relations with these owners, I get it. But also, as pointed out here and on another board, your opinions are so way biased by your own biz interests that they are not reliable. I've yet to see you negatively critique any place in CR.
Food is subjective except when it comes to basics, like an omellette. Sportsman's Lodge can fuck up an omellette. That's well nown. Check Trip advisor. Anyway, it's a frat house as you say, so if you like the frat house atmosphere, it's a good place to find average girls and friendly gringos. But not to stay at, too loud, blast the music at the top like it was a disco all day all night, way over-priced for what you are getting, and its bar's customers are now heavily Tico locals especially for sporting events. Hey, it's their country. But if I wanted to drink in a Tico bar, which sometimes I do, I go to one and pay $1. 50 for a beer, and not what Sportsmen's Lodge charges.
And it's not a hotel. It's a rehabbed old something or other with addition after addition with one layer of drywall seperating the rooms.
If it's sold out, all 25 rooms, it's because of heavy advertisisng on monger boards and new guys don't know of great alternatives at better prices in the same area, like nearby LaAmistad, way cheaper, great all inclusive deal with truly good food-never read one neg review of their food; or nearby Hotel Mona Lisa-built as an American Hotel and you can get a nice American grade "hotel room" room for $50 with free in door parking but the food sucks as bad as Sportsmens Lodge. Food is not a problem in that area. Tons of good local places for $5. Restaurant food usually sucks, Sportsmen's Lodge not an exception. It's bad. Amistad is the only exception in the area I know of.
And even you have raved about it.

No mongering, no girls, no brothels, no TLN. San Jose will be hopping this weekend. Halloween parties at the D. R. Tomorrow, on Saturday, the Mona Lisa, the Sportsman, Scores and Zona II. Festive activity. Best time of year. Good luck getting a room though as most guys book 6 months to a year in advance. Pm me and I can let you know if any of the hotels has a cancellation.

I'm in country right now and I have to admit I am begrudgingly impressed with what I am finding. I had originally come down this weekend as a final fare well to SJ and the CR and leave $100 everything covered sessions behind. But I am quite surprised and happy with what I am finding and don't think I am ready just yet to write of the CR. I have had three what I consider to be attractive / HOT chicas and never paid more than $60 for any of them, all allowed DATY and did BBBJ with very little negotiation necessary. This is just my first day here but if these trends continue I could see myself making the CR a regular stop again. I think the CR chicas are starting to realize its not the chica in the next MP they have to worry about, but the chicas in Sosua and Medellin and Tijuana, AC, Pattaya and Nana that they have to worry about and are adjusting their rates, service and attitude accordingly.

Thanks in advance.Done this nighttime trek a hundred times or so, partially a function of always staying on Calle 11 at the Hotel Freebird, about midway between these destinations. IMHO, no, not really. Lots of people around on this lively route up until midnight or so, featuring restaurants such as Tin Ho, Don Wang and La Esquina de Buenos Aires, plus a few hotels, bars and shops. Wouldn't advise it after midnight necessarily, but by then Relax & Idem are already closed.

But I am quite surprised and happy with what I am finding and don't think I am ready just yet to write of the CR. I have had three what I consider to be attractive / HOT chicas and never paid more than $60 for any of them, all allowed DATY and did BBBJ with very little negotiation necessary. This is just my first day here but if these trends continue I could see myself making the CR a regular stop again. I think the CR chicas are starting to realize its not the chica in the next MP they have to worry about, but the chicas in Sosua and Medellin and Tijuana, AC, Pattaya and Nana that they have to worry about and are adjusting their rates, service and attitude accordingly.
ChrisI truly hope you are correct on your assumption about adjusting services for prices. But I highly doubt it. Again. I hope you are right, and I am wrong.

arrived in country yesterday and stayed at the amistad, sl was full. not there tonight so don't bother looking for me there today you won't find me. i was happy with the amistad good location good price good room. internet was a little slow at first and not working for me and i heard other guest saying the same thing, but later in the night it started working like a charm. i was a little concerned because the amistad is very close to the train tracks in fact it's so close it could be the depot for the train. could hear the train whistle very distinctly in my room during the day but in the morning was quit as could be not a peep. didn't start hearing the train whistle until 11:am.
checked out both the sportsman's lodge and the del ray last night, del ray had their halloween party last night mona lisa is supposed to have theirs tonight and the sportsman will have theirs saturday. was pleased with the talent level i seen at both the sportsman and the del ray ended up taking five yesterday all from the del ray, paid $60 for four of them and $80 for one who was offering me her culo plus taxi fare back to the del ray. all five of the chicas were very attractive in my opinion and all agreed pretty quickly to providing the services i like daty and bbbj at the price i was willing to pay $60. locked eyes with four from the del ray last night during the peak hours who were asking for $80 and one quoted me $100 each of these chicas were in my opinion less attractive then the chicas i was getting for $60 so didn't discuss with them long just told them they might change their mind later.
checked out the mps today went to jet set, muses, kyrses, flamingo the pensions on calle 6 the new zona blue. 747, cha cha cha seems to be gone now there's a little sports center on the corner where to used to be. all of the women in my opinion were in the 3 to 7 range i didn't see anything to spark my interest. only in jet set did i find a hottie ended up sessioning with her for 10 mil colons or about $20. the pensions on calle 6 were quoting me 7 mil colons or about $14 for the half, muses, flamingo and 747 were quoting me 10 mil colons, kryses wanted $40 for the hour and zona blue wanted $55 for the hour. after this i swung by the del ray around 3ish and found what i consider to be a perfect 10 cinnamon skinned tica who made my heart go boom, i quoted $60 her response was to shake her pretty head up and down and say si. told her i liked daty, and bbbj a pretty smile comes across her beautiful face pretty head shakes up and down si me amor. either i am getting very lucky on the trip or things are changing for the better in the cr i'll know more tonight.
if i have time i'll let you know how the party goes at mona lisa
(will post pics after i leave country. don't want the pics floating around while i am still in country)

Oh please, most working girls aren't thinking about that at all.I was down there the first week of September and it was dead, I pretty much called the shots with the girls, the highest price paid was $70.
I have seen them ever since I have been here. 10 years and running. I have never been to the D. R. But many of my clients have and they tell me that it appears that some of the finest Dominicans are here because they can make more money. They do come and go depending on their Visa but I can tell you, the finest ones I have seen are in Jaco, without a doubt. Here, you have something for everyone. Enjoy your travels.
O. L. D. One Lucky Dogg Tours & TravelI have seen many a Dominicana in the HDR over the past couple years; some fine looking, others not so. I have been to the DR on many occasions, but it's much more spread out, somewhat dangerous unless you know where you're going and the girls are pretty dark.

I was down there the first week of September and it was dead, I pretty much called the shots with the girls, the highest price paid was $70.Do you really think the chicas are worrying about competition in foreign countries? They have plenty of local competition to worry about. When I first came to Costa Rica you could get a chica at Del Rey for $70 and a lot ask for $100 and the same is going on today. Nothing has really changed in my eyes, well the pension prices are up a little bit.

If you are talking about 100 guys or 200 guys that have now made Colombia their home or playground, and a few dozen or more who quit CR and who love the far east and never go back, the same with Sosua, that isn't what affects their payscale. As posted, their competition is each other. The only int'l thoughts I know they ponder are they are very glad the huge tide of Colombiana's has subsided drastically (not sure the guys are) , and they wish the same would happen to the Nicas and Dominicana's. No love lost there. You rarely see them sitting or talking to each other much less tag teaming.
Location, location, location. Convenience with a playing field that's roughly 2 square miles and not spread out all over a much larger city like Medellin. English widely spoken in regular businesses and a often in our business.
I am heading back to CR around Thanksgiving. Been a year or so since last visit. This time I will stay ten days and will try to have some dental work done while hitting the sites. Can anyone recommend a good dentist. Preferably someone that you have used. I am still working on my reservations but hopefully I can get there by nov 30.
Thanks

I have been to the DR on many occasions, but it's much more spread out, somewhat dangerous unless you know where you're going and the girls are pretty dark.Where in the DR are you talking about? Sosua mongering is in a smaller area then the gulch, much smaller, you can easily walk the entire monger area in Sosua in less time than it takes to walk from the Sportsman to the Del Ray. I feel just as safe in Sosua as I do in the gulch, I walk both places at night on my own and I have had zero problems in either place. The only difference is the trannys in the gulch will make cat calls to you as you walk by but won't approach you or bother you if you don't want them to. In Sosua there are no trannys I don't think the locals like them that much and they would probably get beat up if they tried hanging out on the street corners like they do in the gulch. Yes there are dark girl in Sosua but there are also plenty of light skinned girls as well. Everyone's taste and opinion is different but in my opinion when it comes to the attractiveness of the women in both location I would say it's a draw (below are pictures of lighter skinned women in Sosua).
I love Costa Rica and had a wonderful time there this past weekend, it's a great place. But with the exception of the Jaco and unplanned trip to San Jose over Labor Day I have not been there since Thankgiving of last year. So far this year I have been to the Dom. Rep. Six times and I'm going back for two weeks at the end of this month. In all the years I've been going to the DR I have never had a girl give me a condom blow job its always been BBBJ, I pay slightly less than $40 for an hour and for slightly less than $80 I can have a girl spend the entire night with me and cuddle up to me like I am her long lost love. From my location in the states airline prices to both locations is about the same. For me it's always a no brainer, I love the CR but I always get more for less in the DR. (Mongering is a global market horney dicks and money will flow to where it gets the greatest return on the dollar).
(I also included a few pics of darker women from Sosua as well, I know some of you prefer the lighter skinned girls, that's fine we all have our own taste. It just leaves more Sweet Sweet pieces of Chocolate for me)

Quick few lines to wrap up my Halloween monger trip, I am slowly retiring from the boards and don't plan on posting much in the future, nothing personal just board of the boards.
Hit the Halloween party Thursday night at the Del Ray, apparently they had a bigger party the Saturday before, didn't notice anything different there accept the place was decorated and some of the chicas and mongers had costumes on. Hit Mona Lisa's costume party Friday night seemed to have a mix of working girls and mongers and regular ticos and ticas a little difficult at times to determine who was on the menu and who was not on the menu. Hit Sportsman's costume party on Saturday night all chicas were in costumes. Also stuck my head into ten different MPs each had at least one or two doable chicas but nothing outstanding, of the ten only found one diamond in the ruff.
Had a total of thirteen women in the four days one from the MP, two from Mona Lisa and eight from the Del Ray / Key Largo, all were BBBJ and DATY. Paid 10 mil colons or about $20 for the girl from the MP both Mona Lisa girls up sold me in the room, both agreed to $60 BBBJ and DATY in the bar but once in the room claimed they didn't understand me and wanted $10 more for BBBJ. Paid $80 to two Del Ray / Key Largo girls because once in the room both offered up their Culo for an extra $20 and paid $60 to eight Del Ray / Key Largo girls, had a total of five that were stuck on stupid and quoting $80 or even $100 and didn't budge all five seen me leave with other girls, all five spent the next hour walking around the Del Ray / Key Largo wishing they had a customer all five right now are probably willing to go for $60.
The chicas I had were in my opinion the hottest ones in the club and were the ones I wanted, they were not the second or third tier chicas. After the initial greetings and pleasantries I offered $60 and would say "sesenta por el sexo, mi amor[/I"]with a smile. They would say either "[I]cien" or "ochenta". I smiled and said "sesenta" then they would say either "noventa" or "setenta" I smiled again and said "sesenta", I held my ground with a smile and they came around and accepted sesenta, I told them the things that were pleasing to me BBBJ and DATY if they seemed to bulk or want to start negotiating the price again I would start to turn away, fearing they may lose the customer they had on the line all agreed to provide the services I like. Only two asked for payment up front once in the room. I assured them that I was going to pay them but was not going to pay until after we were done, both seemed to accept this quite easily and payment up front was never much of an issue. Never pay up front, every monger I know who has paid a freelancer up front has gotten burned at least once. But once it's over you do have to pay her even if she wasn't any good at it. If you hold your ground the chicas will lower their prices and offer the services you like.
I had a great time in San Jose, I love the place and can't wait to return, it's just that there are so many other places in the world where I can get more value for the dollar.

Food is subjective except when it comes to basics, like an omellette. Sportsman's Lodge can fuck up an omellette. That's well nown. Check Trip advisor. Anyway, it's a frat house as you say, so if you like the frat house atmosphere, it's a good place to find average girls and friendly gringos. But not to stay at, too loud, blast the music at the top like it was a disco all day all night, way over-priced for what you are getting, and its bar's customers are now heavily Tico locals especially for sporting events. Hey, it's their country. But if I wanted to drink in a Tico bar, which sometimes I do, I go to one and pay $1. 50 for a beer, and not what Sportsmen's Lodge charges.
And it's not a hotel. It's a rehabbed old something or other with addition after addition with one layer of drywall seperating the rooms.
If it's sold out, all 25 rooms, it's because of heavy advertisisng on monger boards and new guys don't know of great alternatives at better prices in the same area, like nearby LaAmistad, way cheaper, great all inclusive deal with truly good food-never read one neg review of their food; or nearby Hotel Mona Lisa-built as an American Hotel and you can get a nice American grade "hotel room" room for $50 with free in door parking but the food sucks as bad as Sportsmens Lodge.Your assessment of the SL is spot on. One of the most overrated places I have ever stayed at. The rooms are small and overpriced. The food is horrible. The talent is mediocre. Just a bunch of promotion by Bill, the owner, and his buddies.

ChrisThese boards will definitely take a man down. You spend a lot of money, go on a trip, post your details then some asshole that never leaves his mobile home attacks you. I have told many a dickhead to go fuck himself over 20 years of sex travel sites and as long as the internet exists it will remain the same. Many a bad MF behind his keyboard that would not have the balls to confront an old lady clerk that shorted him 3 cents at the convenience store. You know me Chris as do I of you so stay in touch brother.

All.
For those who have traveled to both places.
Travels to San Jose is fairly simple.
1. Fly into San Jose, go to upper level of airport, departures and get cheaper taxi to Hotel Del Rey.
2. Hang out in Del Rey or take taxi to Mona Lisa.
3. Girls from anywhere $50-$80 for hour or TLN.
4. Arrange taxi to go back to airport.
Pretty simple and safe. As long as you stay in the hotel, don't wander off at night. And arrange day trips with reputable travel agencies to check out Arenal and other places.
Question. Is that simple to do the same in Medellin. Is that safe and same prices? Are there known spots like Del Rey and Mona Lisa in Medellin.
I will ask those in Medellin forum as well. Thank you
Have to agree with Beavis. Really have enjoyed your postings Chris Long. I stopped posting since Beavis is right. There is always some idiot that can't keep his dumb comments contained to himself. I have lots of experience in most places in this world so always feel free to PM me for any tips Chris. Good luck to you and thanks for your reports!

Joe VatoIt's the internet and opinions are like assholes. You guys need some thicker skin.
Amen. You'll find the most vocal critics don't even have a passport. What is it that makes a guy so bored he insults people he's never met?

You'll be missed, your reports are models for this forum. With your comprehensive worldwide coverage you offer the textbook every monger should read. And your last two sets of photos are some of the best I have seen. Whatever you do, keep having some great times!

Yes. That is the feeling I get. I've heard there is no place like Del Rey or Mona Lisa in Medellin.
More massage, casa, and strip clubs where you can take the girls out for a fee.
Yes more spread out as well.
But Colombian women are gorgeous and sexy, like Esperanza Gomez. The cost would be cheaper than the asking price at Del Rey.
But again issues with Medellin being spread out and no central place with working girls like a del rey.
Medellin is MUCH more spread out; mostly casa type activity. Can be a bit pricey too. La Mayorista is the sleezy area of the city where you can get what you're willing to pay for.
Are any of you guys visiting the budget MP's these days? Are there still a good amount around for $40 and under?
I am considering a Managua trip and want to couple it with another city since MGA may get old after a few days.

Dgfd, thank you for telling it like it is. Tons of guys over on that "other" forum are SL fanboys and I got kicked off of that site for writing an honest, not nasty but just honest review of the food and bar scene there. The owner frequents that forum (maybe he's an owner of that too?) and he had me 86'd after YEARS of honest and worthwhile posts.
Anyway, the point is, yeah they TOTALLY screw up omelets! Worst omelet I ever had! We also had a waitress there who said we didn't order what we ordered. My wing man and I both know what we ordered. Rather than say "Sorry, I screwed up" she blamed and yelled at us. Weird. All their food is over-priced and none of it is delicious.
The music at the SL is too loud, when they play music; the girls there are just so-so, and the rooms are noisy, and yeah, I'm one of those guys who isn't there to watch sports so I couldn't care less about that, in fact I find it annoying most of the time.
I guess the Tico thing is new. I really don't care if Ticos go there, as long as it doesn't take on the atmosphere of a Tico bar. Ticos have this thing where they buy you a beer and then you're expected to buy them 3 and if you don't they get angry. Tico bars are known for guys getting into fights. Personally I don't want anyone buying me anything, I'm there to drink and look for girls and eat crappy American style food. To me, the SL is a place I go just to get away from the Gulch for an hour or two. I've never once found a girl there that inspired me to take her back to my room.
But then again, admittedly I'm a Del Rey / Key Largo guy. I know the game and am good at it. To me, SL is too mellow and has far too few girls. (No offense to anyone who likes it but after 20 years of mongering, to me, the Del Rey is where the action is.) Also the SL is in a lousy location. Give me the Gulch every time! (I did like Zona Blue back in the day. Hopefully it is coming back!)
