To start, I never breezed through an airport as quickly as I did this one. I swear, I was out of there less than fifteen minutes after getting off the plane. Immigration and customs was a breeze, I prepaid the taxi, got cash out of the ATM at the baggage carousel, and booked.

I´m staying at the Presidente, as I did a few years ago. It´s still good, and thanks to the advice of a brother on this board I got around the dress code simply by making friends with the security guard. It´s been said many times: A little Spanish and a smile go a long way in any Latin country.

My first night I went to IDEM, and found the same girl, Anna, a Nicarauguan (sp?) that I last saw about five years ago, last time I was here. She didn´t fail, and I had a great time. I got her number for her to come to my hotel another time, and this seems to be pretty easy to do in the MP´s and clubs here. IMHO it sure beats the Blue Marlin, which is getting more and more like HELP disco in Brazil! Too much hussle for me, and I haven´t seen any great lookers there (yet!).

On day 2 I asked the taxi to take me to Zona Blue and he took me to New Fantasy instead, saying that it was the same place. I knew it was bull but since I planned to go to NF anyway I went in. Had a great session with a light skinned spinner named Monica. They offer half hour sessions for just US $20. The hour was $45. Go figure.

I´m still trying to find ZB, and the cabbies don´t seem to know it. If anyone can tell me where it is or if it´s in walking distance or an address I´d appreciate it. I´m using a public internet here and there´s a line, so I don´t have time to hunt it down.

On a non sexual note, I went on a tour of the Poas Volcano today, which in my opinion was a waste of time. Not recommended.

More later.

Great report, Blue Jazz, and thanks for that good information. I have been to Colombia and Brazil and Argentina, and while I have my share of fun in CR I agree with you that those other places are definitely at least a notch above. Maybe not Argentina, that's a close call for me.

After failing to find ZB last night my buddy and I went to the BM. There wasn't much there worth picking, but I did manage to find a tight spinner Tica named Alejandra/Alex. She wanted 100 and I offered 80, which she reluctantly accepted. Nevertheless, her service was excellent, and yes, Blue Jazz, the session did end significantly before the hour. But she was good. BBBJ and DFK. I'd repeat....maybe.

Off to Arenal tomorrow and some other non-mongering places, so I'll get back to you all when I return to SJ, or actually when I get to Jaco. I don't think there will be any action in between.

I totally agree with doc and blue about various other countries. I've been here several times and always enjoy it and still do. That being said, after a month in southeast asia recently. Not my first trip. I have been spoiled.

In the two days here, I have had great sessions at Zona Blue and Idem. Never had even a so so session at Zona Blue. I will branch out a bit now that the edge is taken off and check out a few of the cheaper places looking for the gem of a flacca that I so enjoy. Thanks Blue for the other massage place directions.

The problem I am having is going to BM and Key Largo. Key Largo at least has great music in my opinion at night. In two nights there, I have spotted exactly no women whom I've really wanted to be with. Grant it, several have turned my head, touched my thigh (and more) and promised me the moon they could never give me. There have been a few Colombians that were stunning but they are so stuck up. Why bother when you can go to Colombia?

If you are a first time visitor, this place is a bit of heaven compared to what we have in the states. But for me, it's much better than Tijuana but doesn't hold up against southeast asia and the places I have been to in South America.

Perhaps I just need to get out of the gulch and go to the hot springs, the beaches or jungle. One thing I really like about Costa Rica are those options. Thank god for options.

So I've been pretty much staying at different hotels every night to get a feel for the good ones and I have to say that I was truly impressed with the service and the price for the Hotel Castillo. If you are a VIP CRT member, they give you good discounts and never a chica fee. I was so tired that I couldn't even think about bringing a girl up to my room but the restaurant that is attached is open til 10pm and the bar is open til midnight with the occasional chica hanging out downstairs, often in hopes of catching another guy after her session with someone else.

Laundry service was cheap at $5 for wash and fold and the included breakfast was the standard fare. This hotel is one block from New Fantasy, about 2 blocks from the Sportsman's Lodge and 3 blocks from Zona Blue. The Hemingway Hotel is right next door on the corner and I have to say that the rooms have a really weird smell to them.

Anyway, also if you decide to rent a car, go online and make the reservation. I did mine with Budget and it came out to $29/day and $206 for 5 days including taxes and insurance. Budget will make 2 charges on your card (one for the amount of the rental and another deposit for $750). Most all of the rental companies will do this and some will put a higher amount so don't be surprised.

Last thing, even though people say it is high season in Costa Rica, there are plenty of places that are clean and have all the amenities for around $50. I was just in Playa Hermosa which is about an hour North of Tamarindo and the Villa Huetares was about $50 with breakfast included. It is not mongering spot but if you go to Playa del Coco, you may have better luck.

I'm in Tamarindo today and staying at the Tropicana which is $60 with breakfast included. Nice clean place but the grandma there is a mean old lady, never mind her.

Well, hopefully I'll have something chica related after tonight.

I'm not sure where this should be but I'm addressing my pictures and moving on to the rest of the girls so if Jackson needs to move a copy over to the main page, so be it.

Naomi is the brunette and she is a BBBJ girl and she is YMMV on DFK. I told her that I come much quicker if she kisses (I use that on all the girls if they are hesitant - it turns out 50% of the time). None of the girls will be looking to last the whole hour and they especially didn't like the fact that I was known for taking the whole hour so by the end of the 2 days that I stayed there, they were praying that I didn't pick them.

The blonde is Lorena or Laura and she is Pamela's sister. (Pamela is the queen of Zona Blue and if you are looking for a no-holes barred kind of girl, then Pamela is the girl for you. Just be aware that she is very much a tip girl....always expecting it. Then again, for what she does, $5 or 10 wouldn't be a big deal to me.

There are several girls at ZB that give a legitimate massage including Paola. If you ask Eddie or the lady who often is at the counter, they can recommend a girl.

There is also a new girl who is in her early 30's but I forgot her name. It was her first day there and I was the first to try her out. She was BBBJ and DFK and she was totally into it as she was also rubbing herself to get off....gotta love the newbies.

There were about 6 or 7 other girls that I tried out and while none of them really disappointed, none of them really blew my socks off. For $20 a pop while I stayed there, what else could I expect.

I would say that Bar Idem has better looking girls but the service may still be a little better at Zona Blue.

Bar Idem is on Calle 9 and Avenida 8. You will see a guys club on the corner and then Eros right after it. Bar Idem is right across the street. It is around $3 for a drink and the girls are $46 for upstairs rooms or $50 for downstairs rooms. I have asked girls for their numbers so I could have them come to my place at a different time. They will go lower or offer more time outside of the club. Especially if you buy them dinner.

The phone situation is simple: Don't bother with a cell phone. Buy a $2 phone card that you can use with any phone and then call that way. You'll save tons of money.

Also, if you need Sildenafil (generic V), shop around and don't buy until you find one that is about $2 a pill. Stay away from the ones closest to the Del Rey and dead Center. They will cost the most.

Okay, enough rambling. Now go Fuck!

Xmas; 06 and January 07 the girls at the del ray & key largo were asking $100.$150, $200.

I walked away from the ones who stuck to the price and verble wrap.

I was able to get one to go for $30 -$40 USD plus a beer & taxi. for the best part of two hours.

I saw many who were led away for the shiering and returned to the bar within an hour as I sat with my amigos and enjoyed my beer, banter with the girls and the parade. Carnival may have been canceled on Ave Segunda but not at the DR or KL

I suggest a walk around town to the other MP'S. Had a a few new young spinners for under $15 bucks and some for $40. Try Europa 2000 and see whats under the counter

I was even able to find a 23 year old (with both natural breasts & bbbjcim) to join me at the beach for a few days. $35 per day plus travel & meals.

I great time was had by all. Pura Vida Guy'sHey 2964,

I may have been at the bar with you. I was at the BM both xmas and new years. You didn't happen to have a laptop with you at the bar by chance? At any rate I'll be back tommorow, they know me at the Del Rey as Chino Rick, hope to see you.

Doc, Zona Blue is literally two blocks from New Fantasy on the same Avenida 9. It intersects on calle 3b and if you go in and speak to Eddie, he can give you the skinny on finding the right girl for you.

Remember that while if you stay at Zona Blue which is pricey (at $195 a night) the rooms are very nice with mine having its own sauna and the girls are only $20 an hour while you stay there. It pretty much pays for itself if you have three girls in the time you stay there. Plus you don't have to go anywhere. Otherwise, it is $50/ hour. If you go to a local site and pay for the membership, it may save you some money. For competing reasons, I can't get into much details but let's just say its acronym is CRT.

Musas is a place just up the road on Avenida 7 and around calle 3. It's not very pretty and the girls are a little rough but an occasional gem. At $14 for hh, it's a bargain.

If you continue on avenida 7, just after calle 1 on the left hand side, you will see 70E otherwise known as "the dungeon". At $10 for hh, another bargain but you may have to visit several times before you find a gem.

In general, I find the girls who are from Nicaragua to be the easiest to negotiate and give the best service value-wise. Not the prettiest. That would be the Colombians but you won't get any at those bottom prices. Plus, the service is not equal to the price so if you are just looking to pound the prettiest girl and willing to pay for it, well. The Colombians it is. Ticas are often a mixed bag. They can be great or they can really be hardcore pros.

If you have mongered in Argentina or Brazil or Peru or Chile, chances are that you may be a little disappointed in the one and done mentality unless you negotiate multiple shots ahead of time or extended time or todo la noche.

Hope this helps a little. Go to Panama or Colombia instead. You have a better time and better girls! Sorry, Costa Rica has not impressed me very much and I'm sure the locals are happy to hear that I may not return because the girls are much happier with their guys who finish their hour sessions in less than 25 minutes.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please Click Here (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?) for more information.I have read all your posts, and you provide some very good info. The dungeon is certainly my favorite local place; but I don't even bother with one girl at a time there. At $11 per gir, per half hour, two or three for wonderful oral fantasies are the way to go. Tammara is very cute, and if she is having an enthusiastic day, is top notch. Veronica is a very sexy blond with great oral skills. Erika is a plan, slightly cubbby girl, but never fails to get me to CIM, which for me is rare. I like to choose her and one of the other ones, more for the eye candy.

As far as ZB, Michelle does not get much press, but is an all around great performer, gives a great massage, and is an oral afficianado. Curly hair, bright hazel eyes, very sweet, but not the PSE swiniging off the chandaller girl by nature, but will give you any time of experience you want. Of cousre a threesome of Laura and Pamela is always a great, but Laura and Leticia, formerly of Oasis, is even better; they are good freinds. FYI, Laura and Pamela are not TRUE sisters, just sisters of the flesh.

The castillo is a great place for a cheap stay.

As an big fan of calle 6 and the low end places, I tend to have gotten around a great deal when I am in town. Feel free to PM me if you want low end details.

Quick question: Can anybody recommend a Doc in SJ who can write a prescription for medication that I can't get OTC? Can any Dr. do it, or only the ones at the hospital?

Thanks

Blue Jazz20

02-19-07, 23:39

Depending on what prescription you are referring to, almost anything can be purchased directly from a Pharmacy. If you are looking for Vitamin-type pills, almost all of them can be bought OTC here without a problem. Sildenafil is the generic version of Viagra and comes in 50mg or 100mg. You'll find several manufacturers including Genfar, Calox, APO, and a couple of others that I am forgetting off the top of my head.

Real Viagra costs about $6-10 per pill depending on where you go and how many per box.
Cialis is $15-30 per pill
Levitra is $10-25 per pill

The generics all range from $2-4 per pill depending on whether you want 50 or 100mg pills and the manufacturer. Don't buy close to the center or near the Del Ray. These places are a total rip-off because they know the gringos come in and still believe it is a bargain but if you walk less than 5 blocks from the DR, about $2-3 is all you should be paying. Not $5-7 per pill.

Everything else. If you have to have the same manufacturer, just bring the bottle so they know the pill and manufacturer. Otherwise, generics can be very cheap and easy to get.

I was thinking more in terms of controlled substances like Ritalin or Ambien.

I was thinking more in terms of controlled substances like Ritalin or Ambien.

Tried to get some Ritalin on the last trip for a friend's child. Pharmacist said a prescription was required. Probably because it's a narcotic (I didn't know that before this exercise). Also, with that in mind (being a narcotic) it might not be prudent to bring it back through customs anyway, even with a local Rx. Can't speak on Ambien, I usually just use a couple of double Jack & Gingers.

Well after almost a week on the road with no action, Arenal, Montezuma and Jaco, I hit the ground running upon arrival back in SJ today. I headed right over to Zona Blue. I know you guys that are raving about it can´t all be wrong, so I´m guessing that I just went on a bad day, or bad time of the day. There were about 12 girls there, 4 to 7. I picked a 19 year old Tica who calls herself Catalina. Well I hope this is the closest I ever come to having sex with a cadaver, because it was very unpleasant. Then she had the nerve to ask me for a tip. I just had to laugh.

It´s all good, the day is still young.

02-21-07, 23:23

On my last trip I stopped off at the pharmacy on Avenida Central, just West of Calle 9, North side. Was offered half a gazillion Viagras or Cialis for the purchase of a full gazillion. The prices were about 50% higher than I paid in Colombia a few months before (Cialis was $8 a pill in Cartagena & nearly $15 a pill there as I recall).

BUT......after talking a bit & commenting that I never tried Levitra the pharmacist gave me two to try at N/C. I certainly would never suggest any hard-working reputable mongers lie to get free drugs, I'm merely sharing this for the anecdotal value.

I had an experience like that at Zona Blue. The woman was drop dead gorgeous, as good as anything at the Del Rey, but she had all the passion of a starfish. She wouldn't even kiss. I did the deed and asked her to recommend someone more passionate. She asked around, and after about 30 minutes in the bar I went back with her recommendation, a "5" or "6" that was absolutely fantastic. She was disappointed that I only came twice.

I was in San Jose last week and went by ZB on Sunday about noon. The line-up was as you described. My 19 year old Tica, Cary, was a "6" or "7", and was a solid performer, not quite GFE but very pleasant. No tip requested but I did provide one.

There were about 12 girls there, 4 to 7. I picked a 19 year old Tica who calls herself Catalina. Well I hope this is the closest I ever come to having sex with a cadaver, because it was very unpleasant. Then she had the nerve to ask me for a tip. I just had to laugh.

Well, fortunately I made up for my Zona Blue experience with Anna at Idem tonight. It was a great way to end the trip. For those of you who don't know her I would recommend her highly. She's Nicaraguan (sp?) with a great personality and even greater performance. She knows all the tricks to please.

By the way, I loved staying at the Presidente. Great staff and comfort and service. I never had any problem bringing a girl in, but maybe that's because I made a point of making friends with the guard on my arrival.

So thus ends my Costa Rica sojourn. I had a great time, with many thanks to you guys and this forum for making it a lot easier. It's a great place to do a lot of things other than sex, and just for sex I much prefer Rio and BA. But overall it was a real thumbs up trip!

02-22-07, 17:27

I've used the Morazon as a short time hotel and have not been satisfied. It costs way too much and sometimes you have to wait to get a room. I ran across another option on this trip. Exit the Del Rey and head in the opposite direction from the Morazon. Go to the end of the block and hook a right. There's a short time place on the right side of the street. I don't remember the name, but your date will know. The cost is 4000 colones, or about $8. The rooms are clean and have a shower, but they're cramped. Some are better than others. Watch out when they give you change. Second time I went there I gave the woman a 10,000 and she claimed it was a 5,000 note.

Beware of Hotel Asia. Yes you guessed it. It is run by Chinese. If you have never been to a rathole you deserve a visit. Bed is very small and there is absolutely no privacy. The shower does not have hot water. Before and after the deed I like to really clean up and I expect the girls to do the same. The place did not look clean enough to me.
$10 short time they can do better in San Jose.
I am sure there are better short time hotels if you ask around.

I was there a few weeks ago. If you don’t know where it is the girl will say you need to take a taxi that will cost 5000. The taxi takes you around the block. When you ask why it cost $10 to go around the block, the girl will say that it is for her protection. She probably splits the price with the driver.

Just another scam.

Tiny 12

02-23-07, 20:05

There's a guy on ISG who never misses a chance to blame me for running up prices for hookers in Latin America by paying too much. That may be true, but at least I am not running up the prices for short time hotel rooms.

When you ask why it cost $10 to go around the block, the girl will say that it is for her protection. She probably splits the price with the driver.

Just another scam.Of course the place is a dump! What you're paying for is the COVENIENCE of a relatively cheap ST place right around the corner from the HDR/BM where you can take a chica for a quickie if you're staying someplace far from the Gulch or where for one reason or other can't bring back chicas. Bear in mind there are guys that stay at places that charge $10 or more for you just to bring back chicas to a room you've already paid for. Come to think of it the Hotel Del Rey is one of them. For just $10, you're not going to get the Taj Mahal. Sure there are much nicer places that you can get for just $10, but are they literally just around the corner from the HDR.

As for the left side of the keyboard here, sure there are chicas, taxistas and others that will scam you, sorry, but I suspect if you fell for this one you must have just fell off of the turnip truck. Let's dissect where you went wrong:

1) Cab rides anywhere in downtown shouldn't cost more than $2-3. How much did your cab cost to get there? When she said you'd have to pay $10 for a cab, I'd be thinking where is she taking me? To the moon? And if it really costs that much to get there, why can't we find someplace a hell of a lot closer? If this place she was telling you about only cost $nearly as much just getting to?

2) Who chose the cab? You or her? Even if you chose the cab, how did you choose it? An even more common scam that newbies fall prey to in SJ is to take one of the cabs that are waiting for them outside the front doors of the HDR. Whichever one you get into, you can expect every one of them to try and charge you rates at least double what you should be paying. ALWAYS, ignore those hucksters and flag down one of the cabs that to pass by on the street seemingly about once every 10 seconds or so. And if you don't really know how much the fare should cost, insist that they use the meter ("la maria por favor").

3) If you take a cab and it only goes a block or two AND you either forget to ask for the meter or don't bother with it AND they ask for some ridiculous amount like 5000c, tell them to fuck themselves. Well maybe not literally, being obstinate and offensive in CR rarely accomplishes anything positive, but don't just roll over either. Tell him you know how much it should cost by tossing him a 1K note and leaving it at that, no matter how much he feigns outrage. Whats he going to do about it? He's the one that is operating his cab illegally. Some might argue that you're even rewarding his poor behavior with that since essentially your "tip" is as much as the real fare. Others would argue that the drivers lose money on the short hauls due to lost opportunities for the longer ones but on no occasion should you pay more than 2K for such a short run.

4) How was the girl? I hope she was really good for what you really wound up paying for her (her fee, the room and the extra cabfare). What I have found is beyond the amount of the scam, which if you're smart you won't fall for anyway, is that any chica that is trying to play you on something like is probably one to avoid for other reasons, namely what else is she going to try and play you for once you get to the room. At the very least, it is usually greatly diminished service if she was unable to collect her hidden fees on you in other ways.

As for the "Oh you only gave me a 5K note" scam that Tiny fell for, that is much easier to understand. You can try to look out for it, but it always seems to happen when you least expect it and let up for a second. And then what are you going to do? However, I'll give a slightly different spin on the Hotel Asia - Hotel Morazon comparisons. Sure the Morazon is twice as much but the rooms are easily twice as nice. And they may not always have rooms available, but bear in mind they're not primarily a ST hotel. Their room stock is whatever they haven't sold to regular overnight guests. If you go during busy season don't expect to always be able to find a ST room there when you go. At other times, you'll probably have much better luck. However both these places are within short walking distance of the HDR/BM, so if you need a place to go for just an hour or two and don't want to pay for a cab ride someplace else, they are your only alternatives.

O.K., how about this real life experience. You're late for a flight. You're on the west side of San Jose, and the trip FROM the airport to your hotel cost 7000 colones ($13.50) a week before. You flag down a taxi, and load your luggage. The guy takes off and refuses to turn on the meter. You tell him to stop and let you out. But you're a little worried, because your suitcase is in the trunk. He doesn't stop, and says he'll take you to the airport for US$20. You tell him that's B.S., that you paid 7000 coming. He says O.K., what will you pay. You tell him, O.K., 8000 colones. He agrees. Now for the next 20 minutes you have to listen to him gripe and moan and complain about how he hasn't got any money, how the traffic is going to suck on the way back, how he can't pick up a fare at the airport, etc., etc. He wants $20. You stand firm. Then he says he hates you and he likes to kick peoples asses for fun. You tell him O.K., I'll pay you $17. That's 8800 colones. He asks for $18. Finally he drops you off, but instead of going to the departure area he dumps you off on the main road, which, considering you've got a large suitcase is a pain in the rear. To be fair, he did say he didn't have a permit to drop people off at the airport.

So my question, What would Brian Boitano do? Err, I mean, what would Prolijo do in a similar situation?

Bad trip. You dont mention what hotel you got the taxi in front off. I do know that a metered (Maria) ride from the Europa Hotel is $12.00 or 6 MIL. Europa is a 360 colon ride from the DR. I know this was so in January and I negociated the price with a taxi I had hailed off the street earlier that day when I had some last min shopping to do: we rode around (stop & shop) the city for the best part of 40 min's for about 5-6 bucks. Cheap at 3 times the price for all I had to do. Thats right he came back to the hotel 2 hours later at the arranged time to pick me up for the ride to the airport. NOTE: Any taxi or car can drop you off at the airport curbside. No special permit is needed.

I also met a great "conductor" in November; at New years I had some friends come in from Paris arriving mid afternoon December 31. Fabian picked up my friends (sign in the window) and drove them to Punteranus in time for them to get the ferry;2.5 - 3 hour trip one way then return trip to SJ. cost $70.00 plus a very greatful tip from my friends. My friends had expected paying $150.00. My point is talk to the taxi conductor first and not all conductors are rip-offs.

I was able to get one to go for $30 -$40 USD plus a beer & taxi. for the best part of two hours.

I was even able to find a 23 year old (with both natural breasts & bbbjcim) to join me at the beach for a few days. $35 per day plus travel & meals.I would love to see the pics of the babes who would go for $30-40 for 2 hours while most ask for $80-100/hr.

I would also like to see a pic of the girl who would travel for $35/day while the average daily fee would be like $150.

Did you post pics, or can you email them to me? I'm very curious to see if you got really lucky. Gracias amigo.

Tiny, I don't see how you could confuse me with a male figure skater unless because like him I like to play around with hot looking spinners.

Again, I can't totally second guess your actions. There have been times when I've forgotten to ask for the meter before I've gotten in a taxi. However, if I didn't see a meter running I've always asked them to put it on within seconds of taking off. And, if they've balked, I've insisted they stop and let me out. So far, I've run into a few scammers who refuse to put on the meter but I've yet to run into any that have refused to let me out or otherwise acted in the psycho manner you described of your guy. Then again, I've never been in that situation running late to the airport with a bag in the trunk.

Now as to what I THINK I'd do in your situation?

1) Ask for the meter or at least ask "cuánto cuesta" knowing what the fair price is and either turn him down flat or tell him what the right price is and hence what I was willing to pay before even getting in the cab

2) If I had forgotten to ask first, I'd ask very soon afterwards.

3) If he refused, I'd ask him to stop and let me out so I could get another cab and pay nada (there's nothing on the meter, remember). However, if I forgot to ask right away and had gone more than a few blocks I might give him 3-400c (which is approx. the starting meter fare). I'd never make it out of the city without thinking about it.

4) If I had bags with me, I always insist they go in the back seat with me (just 1 person in cab leaves a lot of room unless you're packing a steamer trunk).

5) If I had bags in the trunk and was worried about that, I'd make very careful note of the driver's name placard (even addressing him by name so that he knows that I've looked at it). I don't think the drivers are too likely to take off with your luggage if they know you'll be able to report them on it. I'm sure their job, despite any complaints, is worth more to him than anything in your luggage.

6) If in leiu of the meter, you and the driver agree to a mutually acceptable price, I'd insist both sides stick to it, myself included. However, unless I had placed myself in some desperate position like you had, I doubt I'd agree to more than the standard price. After all anything higher is just rewarding bad behavior.

7) If the driver bitches and moans about the price after that, I'd remind him that he agreed to it and that I knew that even THAT amount was more than the standard fare and if he continued I'd simply ignore his talk knowing that he's getting more than a fair price (so fuck him).

8) If the driver starts acting threatening and says how much "he hates you and he likes to kick peoples asses for fun", I'd say I don't care if he does since the feeling is mutual and "le odio también" and how much I LOVE to practice my Tae Kwon Do and get asshole cabbies fired "consigo su trabajo terminado" at which point I'd look at his placard and call him by his full name to make sure he gets the point. Don't let some fatass cabdriver intimidate you, 9 times out of 10 with guys like this its all bluster.

9) Finally, if after all that, he lets me out in front of the parking garage rather than enter the terminal drive, I'd just be thanking my lucky stars I made it that far with that psycho and simply accept my losses.

I should also add that in my last few trips to SJ I've been taking the public bus and just allowed enough time to get to or from the airport that I'm never rushed or desperate. It doesn't take much longer and the bus driver has always been more than happy to take my buck without making a single complaint.

BTW, if 2964 can find a cab driver to drive around in stop and go city traffic for 40 minutes for $5-6 and then be happy enough with that deal that he'll show up at your hotel 2 hours later to do more business with you than that should give you some idea on how profitable a 40 minute roundtrip drive to the airport really is at even just twice that amount. Even with heavy traffic and the roundtrip taking him an hour or more $12-13 is a GOOD fare.

2964, I was in Rohrmoser, close to the Panamericana. With the meter I think fare would have been less than $10.

Prolijo, you've got some good ideas, in particular keeping your luggage in the back seat, and quoting the name on the placard back to him. BTW, I did threaten to leave the cab within 2 blocks of when he picked me up, and that was after he said he wasn't going to turn the meter on.

You have to be a South Park fan to understand reference to Brian Boitano, but trust me, it was a compliment.

Some info from my trip:

Taxis: like everywhere, the ones that park in front of the clubs are most likely to deliver a bad experience, no meter.

Find a cab that is dropping off, ask for your destination before you get in and point at the meter which should be set to 365c to start. $4 takes you across the entire city. Study a city map until you know the city by memory. You will have to walk out 20-30 yards from a club to catch one of the honest drivers. Cabs have different zones they deliver to, so ask for your destination before getting in.

Walking: Walking during the daytime is safe everywhere within four blocks N & S of Ave. Central. The exception is the SW quadrant of the city using the Central Market at point zero. This area is full of lookouts and banger types milling around on corners and watching the streets. I was followed when I entered the area and had to double back since I didn’t want to get boxed in. Walking at night anywhere is dicey, take a cab.

Safety: I witnessed an attack against an American around 9pm on Ave. Central in front of the News Café, the armed guards for the hotel watched their guest get attacked, the Ticos in the area did nothing to help the guy. 20 American men piling out the café drove off the 5 attackers; the victim was walking with his wife. They were going for his large gold chain. After 15 minutes still no police. The thieves use spotters to signal who to mug. Keep your personal and business information to yourself and don’t talk about what you own, your business etc. kidnapping is not a problem in the country but there are people trying to pump for information. Better to cry about your “shitty social security payment and x wife who got everything”. Leave all of your jewelry and good watch at home and your wallet in the safe, keep your cash ($100 max.) and ID in a front pocket at all times. If you are the only one on a street or it feels unsafe, back out ASAP. Always try to find a partner or group to walk or travel with. If you feel threatened walk into a restaurant or another business with customers. Do not allow anyone to stop you.

Food: There are plenty of good restaurants so this is not an issue. News Café, Key Largo, Balmoral Terrace and Grand Hotel Costa Rica to name a few are up to any standards and taste quite good. Plenty of the low cost places are great if you order what the Ticos eat. If you are looking for French food, go to France.

Scale: My scale has Kim Baysinger as a 10 when she was at her peak. Medium everything with a pretty face.

Blue Marlin and Key Largo: Good food, gambling, reasonable drink prices, well lighted lots of security. 100+ girls on any night with Thursday-Sat the heaviest. Bell shaped curve with most of the girls in the 3-5 category and maybe 10 at the 7 or higher who tend to go fast. The Ticos like girls that are heavy in the bottom and legs, so one man’s 4 maybe another man’s 8. Lots of part timers that show up after work or school four or five nights a week. Negotiate up front and pay after delivery, there is no quality control on service so all of the promises have no recourse for no delivery. All ask for $100, will settle for $80 which in some cases is more than they are worth for any amount of time. Some will bolt the minute they get the cash or five minutes later.
Always plenty of low lifes on the street and corners around this place, smile and say “no thanks” and keep walking. Do not allow anyone to stop you. Recommend this place for the food, drinks and some of the girls.

Zona Blue & Fantasy MP: Both are in Amon NE. Both are pricey; facilities are clean and well guarded, lots of staff and appear to be professionally managed. A lot of the girls tend to be thick in the bottoms and legs catering to the local upscale market. Lots of 4-6s. A few 7-10s on my scale that are usually booked or out of sight. Recommend.

Europa 2000 MP: Calle 3 NE. Sign out front. Avoid, what a dump

Muses MP: Ave 7 NE. Sign out front. Clean, professional with small staff of 2-4’s. Maybe the staff is better at other times. Low cost

Centro MP: Calle 4, Ave 4 SW. No sign on the outside and looks like a dump from the outside.

Camelot Bar: Ave 4 SE near C3-5., sign out front. Big oval bar, nothing above a five when I stuck my head in. Tico bar. May be worth a look if passing by.

Sala Vilma MP: Ave 6, near C32 SW. Sign out front happy paint job may be worth a look. Low cost

Veronica’s MP: C 36 SW. 50 meters south of P. Colon on East side of street. Narrow building with no sign, appears to be busy. Tico MP. Guess, they don’t want to upset the neighbors. May be worth a look. Low cost.

Centerfolds Strip Club: AVE 1 NE. One block from BM. Professionally managed, clean. Was dead the night I stuck my head in. Girls are dropped on your lap to request drinks. The girls are asking $100 for the hour, $20 for two dances. 4-6s. May be better on other nights. I would avoid.

Tango India and Atlantis Strip Clubs: Both away from the downtown, require a cab ride. Rave reviews on the quality. Expect to spend in excess of $200-$300. Read other reviews to see if these places are dine in or carry out or more details.

Illusions MP: C9 near Ave 12 SE: Sign out front. 6-7 girls in the 5-6 category that are very doable. This is a Tico place. Prices are cheap, quality control is good and the rooms are OK. Could be cleaner. Worth a look. Opens at 10 am. Recommend.

IDEM Bar: C11 near A10 SE: Sign out front. Clean, friendly, professionally managed, excellent quality control, reasonable drink prices, 12-20 girls in the 6-10 range. $48 hour. Opens at 3 pm closes at 11 pm. Strongest recommendation.

Pluto, I some what agree on most of your post. From all the places you list. You are not a "start at delray. Go to kl. End up at delray " kind of guy. However as I keep finding out, the key to most of these places is. Hang around for more than 3 mins. Get a beer (if you can) and just wait it out. I have hit some nice, fun, ass at the europa 2000 had a 2 on 1 for like 25. 00 bucks (I think thats what I paid) and just the thought of each one taking turns sucking me off was worth the trip. But while banging a 90 lb tica, while the other ate her friend out. Is what brings me back to san jose. But I never would of had it, but a friend told me the same thing I want to share with you (and the board) as like you I walk up to a place, stick my head in. See 3 or 4 girls just laying on a couch and don't say anything to me. I say screw this and always leave but on my last few trips I just hold tight and wait it out. I had never stayed longer than 10 mins at the zona blue. Then I stayed and got to see 10 girls dancing, kissing, flashing tits and muffs. Plus getting to play with more than half on them, before taking one that gave such a wild time. That I thought would never happen there.

Hey Pluto, Nice report and you covered a lot of good places. Nest trip you may want to explore a little more in Paseo Colon area as several good places besides Sala Vilma and Veronicas. I know of Oasis, Saphires around corner, VIP Massage and Kama Sutra Massage. Also The Dungeon( 70 E ) Ave 7 between Calle Central and Calle 1 is the best low end massage place near the gulch but facilites are very basic.rbc100

I'm planning another trip to CR. When I went last year I had a great time in the "gulch" area but this time around I'd like to venture out a little further and go into the El Pueblo District to see what the offerings are out there. Does anyone have the 411 on this area? Is it worth going there to meet, greet, and sheet local women? Any info mucho gracias!

Current Report:

The strongest MP lineup is at Idem, second is Zona Blue, third is New Fantasy.

Idem has some girls who defected from ZB in the past few months (try Mia), but ZB has been hiring new ones (try Andrea). They may be unproven, but they are hot. NF can be very much hit or miss, but they have some cuties (try Stephanie).

The situation Jaco is downright pitiful. The Beatle Bar is currently a collection of cows and butterfaces who won't take less than $100/hr (usually about 30-40 mins). Avoid Jaco, hotels suck and are way overpriced and so are the chicas.

The best strip club in town is Pantera Rosa. Free entry & 1 drink with CRT card. The dancers are hot. You can bang them in the panther room just off the stage for less than $30 for 15-20 minutes. Try Cynthia.

It is at the corner of Avienda 14 and Calle 9 or Paseo de los Estudiantes as it is called in the south end. If you leave the New York Bar and go left it is about 6 or seven blocks, It is across the street from La Mansion which is worth checking out they used to have a 2 girl 1 hour special for 15,000 colones. Pantera Rose is a late spot, I believe it opens at 10:30 pm and does not really get goin until about midnight. It is my favorite strip club in San Jose.

Thanks!!!You're much better off just using the sex 141 site... there's an English version.

If you just hop on babelfish... this is what you get:

全套 = Complete set = Quan2 Tao4. Basically means "full service" if I translate the slang.

舒服保健 = Comfortable health care. I'm not familiar with this slang. But I guess that it's supposed to convey a sense of safety.

03-08-07, 01:08

Can you post the address, directions or cross streets for the club that U recommend?Its a little hard to describe but Pantera Rosa is at approximately Calle 9 and Avenida 16. Calle 9 is the street the HDR/BM is on so you head down that street crossing Avenida 2 (the main drag through town) and go approximately 6 blocks until you get to a fork in the road. That's why I'm not sure if its on Calle 9 exactly or not. But there will be a gas station at the fork and you stay on the main drag and go to the left. There will be a little side street part way down on the left (Avenida 16?), which BTW is the way you go to get to La Mansion MP. Anyway, Pantera Rosa will be a little bit past that also on your left. If you get to the park you've gone too far.

03-10-07, 14:26

There are actually 2 Machu Pichu Restaurants and, surprisingly, there are also many taxistas who don't seem to know where even some of the most popular restaurants are located even though they're in the business of driving around many of the tourists (and locals) that go to them.

The taxista or tico landmark in that area that is most commonly used is the KFC on Paseo Colon. I've also had taxistas that don't even seem to understand KFC or kay efay say, so you might also need to call it Pollo de Kentucky (I swear it sometimes seems that you have to pass a dumbness test to become an SJ cabbie). This may not seem to make much sense either since there are scores of KFC's around town too, but this KFC is really a commonly referred to local landmark.

The complete directions are "cientos y cincuenta metros de norte del KFC (or Pollo de Kentucky) en Paseo Colon" or a block and a half north of the KFC (on the left). You might also need to look for a doorway with a security guy out front since the place doesn't have any sign and you could be staring right at it and not know it. I usually just get out when I see Colonel Sanders sitting on a bench and walk the rest of the way.

I have no clue what the "address" or cross-streets are for Pantera Rosa. I just take a taxi and I have never encountered a driver who didn't know where it is.

If you get a driver that says he doesn't know it, he probably does but wants to take you somewhere where he'll get a gringo commission.

Ask the cabbie before you get in and if he says he doesn't know --> NEXT!

I am planning a trip for about 8-10 guys (bachelor party) in May to stay in San Jose. I've been reading through the board and have been able to obtain some great information. I'm still not sure where we should stay. It seems like the Hotel Presidente is the best bet if you can appease the security guard to lax the rules. Can someone recommend whether this is the best place to stay? Definitely looking for something nicer rather than trying to save money (e.g., in the US, prefer the Westin over the Ramada Inn). Also need a girl friendly hotel.

We also want to go whitewater rafting one day, and hire a boat to go deep sea fishing another day. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
Try Sportsmen lodge older rooms okay new rooms equal Westin staff can arrange rafting, deep sea fishing and there are reliable drivers with new vans to travel with 8 people, plus entertainment available on site or 3 block walk to Del 'Ray/Blue Marlin and the gulch 1 block on same street to New Fantasy 2 blocks on same street to Zona Blue.

Pokerman,
I don't know for certain and you should definitely check for yourself, but it wouldn't surprise me if you run into a little trouble trying to find 8-10 seperate rooms for a bunch of guys at the few more popular "girl-friendly" hotels that are close to the Gulch this close to your departure date.

Thunderpants is obviously one of the many diehard fans of the SL, and it IS indeed a fine place to go if you want to be in a hotel that caters to the mongering crowd. But I think he overstates some of its advantages. Just about any hotel you'd stay at (certainly those of the "Westin" class or better) would be more than happy to help you arrange your tours and transportation. The SL is also well located but it is more like 4 long diagonal blocks to the HDR/BM across parks and streets that you might not want to walk after dark and it more like 2-3 blocks to NF and 5 to ZB, still very close but not as close as TP made out. Finally, the SL is an exceedingly popular place and is often sold out, even at the tail end of the peak season when you'll be going, as the indoor sport of mongering is much more of a year-round event than traditional eco-touring.

Like I said, if you can get 8-10 of the newer rooms at the relatively small SL in May, go for it. However, I think if the Ramada is not up to your standards, then the you probably won't be satisfied with the older rooms at the SL either. If you can't get 8 of the better rooms there, you might consider putting some of your crew up just around the corner at the nearby Hotel Castillo, only about 1.5 blocks away. There are some other nice girl-friendly hotels in the same general neighborhood including the Casa Vino, Inca Real, Dunn Inn and the Clarion Amon Plaza. Since these places do not serve as exclusively a monger crowd you might have better luck finding vacancies especially at the Amon which has more rooms overall than the others and often has a lot of vacancies. In fact, I think they may be pretty hard up trying to fill the place and if you book through their casino you can get a substantial discount over their usual rates and also avoid any chica fees (http://www.casino-paradiso.com/acco.htm.

Certainly I would agree that if it is a little further down the street it is not very far at all.

Your best bet is Amon Plaza. They almost always have rooms and they have a casino, tour desk, and a decent breakfast. Not up to Westin standards but definitely good. Be sure to use the link provided by Prolijo. Sportmen's and Presidente will have trouble providing as many rooms as you need.

If you walk outside the hoterl front door and look to your left and across the street, you may see a guy and a van. He speaks great English and can take you anywhere in the country--including fishing trips. I'll message you with with his name if I can find his card.

Thanks for the information. The presidente did not have a single room, let alone any suites we wanted. The Del Ray also didn't have many rooms (no suites), however due to the web cam access via the internet we can't tell our wives we're staying there. The SL did not have rooms and the AMON plaza is currently undergoing some trouble between the casino and hotel owners (ability to get good deals thru casino is on hold). Thus, we are left with the Holiday Inn, which I understand is nicely located although it has the $25 chica fee as does most other hotels. Was able to get 10 rooms there for $80 each, so not bad. And may get presidental suite for our HQ, but it is pricey. Obviously, we wanted better spot, but in talking to most of the hotels the nice rooms (especially suites) go 3-4 months in advance for the time we're going. Plus, we may end up closer to 12-15 rooms.

Nice hotel, great location. I failed to mention Sleep Inn which is right next to the Blue Marlin, but they aren't girl frindly either. Sleep Inn in San Jose is actually a very nice hotel. Doesn't seem you had a lot of other options for this trip.

When you go to Blue Marlin don't worry about the webcam. It only shows the bar and bartenders. You won't see any working chicas or customers on the webcam. I may be down there in May. I'll say hello if I see you. A group of 8-10 guys shouldn't be hard to spot.

Headed in on april 18-23. A group of 6 of us for a bit of mongering. Any suggestions on a hotel that’s nice, cheap, and is girl friendly. Willing to spend just a bit more for safety and cleanliness only if needed. Are there any suites with beds in two rooms for a couple of us to share?

Would appreciate any info and also, help with an itinerary for some of us for 4 days. thanks
Sportsmen Lode has rooms with two beds also a set of rooms with a shared bath ideal for two people about $50 per room.

It is very clean and well located and has on site chicas.See my post from 3/11 and Pokerman's results from 2 days ago, especially the part about the suites going out 3-4 months in advance. Granted that was for 10 guys but it was for 2 months out and you're looking for something just 1 month away, so a lot of the same issues probably apply.

Its clear TP is a big SL fan and you should certainly check them out. However they only have 22 rooms and only one set (in the clubhouse wing) like TP described with 2 std rooms w/shared bath (the Alegria & Fiesta @ $49 ea) and a large standard (Pura Vida @ $69) and deluxe standard (Amistad @ $79). The 2 latter rooms have 2 double beds but I don't think you guys are really going to want to share if you're going to be bringing chicas back. I mean you could do the whole college dorm thing of taking turns with the rooms with one guy waiting downstairs in the bar until his roomie is finished or maybe you don't care whats going on in the next bed or even will want to swap, but most guys don't like having to look at their buddies naked ass while they're trying to get it on and appreciate the extra privacy without the inconvenience. Your post suggested as much when you asked about "suites with beds in two rooms". And all this assumes you can even get all those rooms together, which I think is highly doubtful. I would think even getting 6 rooms out of the full 22 spread out through the entire hotel is fairly questionable this late in the game, but at least might be possible.

Unfortunately, what I thought might be a large group's best bet, the Amon Plaza, seems to be having some "issues" right now. The Holiday Inn that Pokerman and his buddies ended up with is always a possibility but to me that huge chica fee is a real deal breaker. One more possibility, that normally wouldn't be my first pick but which some CR vets seem to really like is the downtown Best Western. It suffers from being a US chain which is also a negative in my book (though not the deal breaker the chica fees would be). It also is not in the nicest neighborhood and is a longer daytime walk from the HDR/BM (at night you'd be taking cabs anyway). But on the plus side, its very close to some of the cheaper tico MP's, reasonably priced and has NO chica fees. They have nearly 70 rooms and so could probably easily put you all up even at this late date.

Indeed the Best Western is a good economical choice for a group on short notice. Rooms are better than most at price and location near 747 and CHA CHA CHA is a defenite plus. Morazan is also good location and attractive price that usually has availability except holiday and superbowl weekends. With cupon rooms are $36. In my opinion rooms are not as nice as Best Western or older SL rooms but acceptable.

Gman9365 - Don't know what your interest is besides mongering. Over a 4 day trip, you won't have time to go anywhere besides San Jose and maybe Jaco as well. I'd plan on the 1st and last night in San Jose, and the 2 in the middle in Jaco, or else the 1st 2 nights in S.J. and the last 2 in Jaco, but only if my flight out of San Jose was late enough in the day. You DON'T want to be driving (or taking a van) back from Jaco on a tight schedule, given the unpredictability and condition of the roads. If you had your own car and you were interested in seeing the national park, you could see Manuel Antonio park in Quepos on a day trip from Jaco. Or, you could do a day of sport fishing out of Jaco.

Other than hobbying, if it were me, I'd try to see Manuel Antonio and get a half day in of sport fishing. As for mongering, stick to San Jose, and in Jaco, the Beatle Bar and maybe one or two other bars.

I appreciate all the info. Didn't want to start a debate, but could use any positive advice on making a fun trip. Any feedback on how you'd break down a 1stimer trip to Costa Rica for 4 days. Good room and great women.There's nothing wrong with a little friendly debate - which is what this is. Actually, TP and I are really not that far apart on this. We both agree that the SL is a great place to go for a group bachelor party type trip IF you can all get a room there. And planning far enough out would have taken care of any problem in that regard. Where we disagree somewhat is on the likelihood of finding rooms there for all of you at this late date. And I'm assuming that if you're only going for 4 days that its over a weekend and not "during the week" when it is supposedly only half full. However, I won't say you definitely won't be able to secure 6 rooms there. You should certainly give them a try. But I'd be prepared to make other plans.

TP raises another excellent point which you may not already be aware of. If you want to stay at the SL (or even if you don't), you should seriously consider joining that other board. With the 10% discount at SL what you could save on your room there over 4 days would pay for a good chunk of your membership. Throw in all the other discounts that you can get as a CRT VIP at various restaurants, MP's and stripclubs and you could definitely save a little dough. But the card will cost you $39 each (its not transferable) so potential net savings will really depend on how much you use it over the 4 days you're there. OTOH, if you plan on going back, you should definitely sign up for it.

2041 also raises some good points, namely that it really all depends on your interests. With only 4 days there is only so much you'll be able to do. If you mainly want to do mongering, then stick to SJ or possibly Jaco if you also want to hit the beach for 1-2 of your days. Personally, I think the mongering is much better in SJ and the beach in Jaco not that nice. The beach at MA is much nicer but then it doesn't have anything like the nightlife that Jaco has. If beaches aren't that critical, I'd just stick with SJ given that you only have 4 days. Like I said there is more mongering options in SJ but there is also more than enough non-mongering non beach things to do out of SJ as well.

If you want to just monger, you can get up late in the morning from your nights of debauchery and make the rounds of the various MP's ( did I mention that they don't have any of those in Jaco?) until you spot something you like. Then hit the Blue Marlin or SL bar in the late afternoon to meet some fellow mongers, check out what chicas stroll in and make plans for the evening. And then more BM or checking out some of the strip joints in the evening such as Kamur, Pantera Rosa etc.

If you want to do something besides mongering (which I'd hope you would), there is plenty that you can do right out of SJ that would put you back in town in time for an afternoon tryst at an MP or the very least a full evening of mongering at one of the aforementioned spots. I'd definitely recommend at least one day going for a whitewater raft trip. An ATV trip in the mountains surrounding SJ would be good for another day (or horseback riding). Given that you have your own group, hiring a private driver is also a reasonable option for your own personal scenic tour, trip to a volcano, Cartago, Orosi, La Paz, Saarchi etc. Likewise, with a ready made group, a fishing charter becomes a better option (though it will set you back $200-250 per person per day before any CRT discounts) and could be done either from SJ or more conveniently from Jaco. A lot of guys would recommend a zip-line tour. I think they're somewhat over-rated but still a lot of fun. Those can be done out of SJ but again I think are somewhat more convenient in the Jaco area.

Is it safe to walk streets at nite in Jaco?When you are walking the streets in Jaco, be aware of anyone walking up behind you or just kind of hanging out on the corner, especially on or near the small bridge near the Beatle Bar. Even if they look like girls, they probably aren't. And they are very adept at separating you from your wallet, with or without your knowledge or acquiescence. Having said that, I have walked to and from the BB and Clarita's Hotel several times without incident. However, I must add that, having been to Jaco twice, I probably won't return anytime soon. The girls, who once included many SJ girls out on a weekend expedition, are now overrun with rather chunky, quite overpriced Colombianas and Dominicanas who are content to wait for refugees from Los Sueños who have more money in their back pockets than brains in their heads.

Would like to stop at the Kamur in san jose. Has any one been there?I have been to Kamur and Pantera Rosa once apiece. I wouldn't hurry back to Kamur but others like it. I had fun at Pantera Rosa but did wind up drinking too much and buying way too many drinks for the two girls on either side of me. They couldn't keep their hands out of my pants. That is, as long as I kept plying them with way overpriced drinks. I would go back again, but would do so in a much more sober state of mind.

I my experience a four day trip is not enough time for an overnight in Jaco. In the past on a short trip I have arranged to leave San Jose @ 5: A.M. for a 1/2 day fishing trip nice lunch at the beach and sight see waterfall, coffee plantation etc on the return and be back in San Jose in the late afternoon expecyt to pay $100 + for a van and driver and my wingman and myself engage smaller boat pachanga for about $250. for evening bring back fresh fish for sushi or prepare for dinner as it is always appreciated by other quests. I reccommend Pantera Rose as best club it is always good others seem to be hit or miss but it is fun to explore.

I was in San Jose' for half a day on business. I chose to spend my only free half hour at Zona Blue (which cost me $30).

Got a fantastic bj from Michel but she was certainly not as enthusiastic as she was when I saw her 6 months ago. She seems to have reached a level of "burnout" ; just my opinion. Or maybe she was just having a bad day... nevertheless her bj performance was excellent and I went away happily satisfied. Hope she takes a break and comes back sexier than ever!

We got to talking a bit and I asked her if she's heard about how New Fantasy is these days (since she was an original NF girl, back when the place first started up, the girls were all hot, and the place was happening).

She told me that several girls from NF had just arrived to work now at ZB and that NF was now largely a Tico hangout which did not please the girls working there.

Can anyone confirm this?

How is NF these days?

I did have just enough time left over to walk into the Blue Marlin. It was around 2pm in the afternoon. I was surprised to find 4-5 very sexy girls, one in particular who I'd give a "10" in looks, several others were 8's and 9's. Then of course there were the couple of dozen or so fat, not-so-good-looking bargain matinee types hanging around.

That's it, that's all I had time to check out.

Will be back in October or November with much more to report, I'm sure.

Thanks for the pix, this helps me, too. I've never been to Oasis in all my years (started in 1990 or so) in San Jose'. Next trip I intend to rectify this. At least I have to see what it has to offer.

There are actually 2 Machu Pichu Restaurants and, surprisingly, there are also many taxistas who don't seem to know where even some of the most popular restaurants are located even though they're in the business of driving around many of the tourists (and locals) that go to them.

The taxista or tico landmark in that area that is most commonly used is the KFC on Paseo Colon. I've also had taxistas that don't even seem to understand KFC or kay efay say, so you might also need to call it Pollo de Kentucky (I swear it sometimes seems that you have to pass a dumbness test to become an SJ cabbie). This may not seem to make much sense either since there are scores of KFC's around town too, but this KFC is really a commonly referred to local landmark.

The complete directions are "cientos y cincuenta metros de norte del KFC (or Pollo de Kentucky) en Paseo Colon" or a block and a half north of the KFC (on the left). You might also need to look for a doorway with a security guy out front since the place doesn't have any sign and you could be staring right at it and not know it. I usually just get out when I see Colonel Sanders sitting on a bench and walk the rest of the way.

Everybody's preferences are different the Presidente is a good hotel the restaurant on the ground floor is good. Personally I find the rooms a little better at the Holiday Inn, pool, gym and Internet, breakfast if you included in your package.

Be careful in the park after dark the women are not women! They will try and rob you. I'm a rather large man at 6` 6" 275 pounds personally never had a problem or an issue however one of my running buddies got took for $600 he's about 5`10" 135 pounds. Take it or leave i`m just putting it out there.

I usually go in for one night, one of my regular girls will pick me up at the airport spend one night and then she'll drive me to Jaco beach about a three-hour drive. If you're only there for four days you might not wanna go to the beach because round-trip that six hours to the nearest beach. We stay in a place called Club Del Mar a little pricey but I find it worth it, wherever you go to the beach you should make sure you have reservations. Wake up early in the morning the day I'm leaving and they'll take me straight back to the airport.

I'm really not a big fan of San Jose it's a very dirty city loaded with poverty. Import remember everything is negotiable.

Sometimes I'll just stay in the Holiday Inn walkover to CLUB DEL RAY which is only like a block away from your hotel starting around 9:30 at night that places is packed with women. Taxi rides are available to the beach also you can negotiate that I think the cheapest I had was $70. Negotiations with the women can really very depending on the players time of night how much action she may have already had how much time you're looking to spend etc. but negotiating is available especially if you taking them with you to the beach.

Every hotel that you encounter will charge you for each guest you have over so if you pick up 4 girls in one day the last time I was there two years ago it was $10 per guest so you would pay $40 for that day. If you have a regular girl the whole time you would be looking at $40 for your four-day stay

If you like a variety there's many places in San Jose and pretty much all the beaches the only one I did not find much action at was Manuel Antonio however it was very beautiful place.

Jaco beach has some nice tropical forest cable rides, all terrain 4-Wheelers and horseback riding actually felt sorry for my horse :)

During the day there's a little bar on the beach I forget the name it's about a half mile jog on the beach from Club Del Mar there's a lot of the action during the day.

The night life is pretty much the beetle bar there's a lot of dance clubs that I've been to it takes a little bit more effort to pull one of the locals back to your room but sometimes I'm up for the challenge of hitting the fresher meat.

Happy Hunting,

Cranny

There are no chica fees at the Sportman's Lodge. You must be thinking of the Del Rey.

04-09-07, 02:01

Neither does the Presidente, Castillo, Amon (if you book through the casino). Morazon (if you clarify it in advance, $3 per chica if you don't) and many other hotels have zero or at least much lower chica fees than $10 per visit. He must be talking about the Holiday Inn or the Del Rey charging such fees. BTW, for how much more the HI charges for rooms over the Presidente (especially with the CRT discount) I would hope the rooms there are more than just "a little better" than the Presidente. But he is right that "Everybody's preferences are different".

04-09-07, 20:50

Thanks for all the advice. I will be in SJO April 13-17. Rooms were tough to get, I booked at the Presidente as the others were taken I would like to get some opinions on a 4 day trip. I was planning on staying in SJO on FRI & SAT and then heading to some beach. What beach would be suggested for some relaxing and maybe if a good night life and/or daylife? How about the Presidente any problems with bringing women up?Yes - The Presidente charges a chica fee ($10?) has a real problem with you bringing in more than one at a time. and they are enforcing a higher dress code. short skirts/belly shirts on the girls won't cut it. Most girls know and will either bring or borow a coat etc. but beware.

As stated previously hotels are preferences. I don't mind spending extra money for nice hotel. For instance if you stay in the Club Delray if you're a light sleeper you'll not get any sleep! All night long drunks and prostitutes up-and-down the hallways. For me when I'm done fucking I'm done don't bother me. I spend the extra money to get a good night's sleep.

Take a one day fishing trip, but take four change of close. Every time you catch a fish take a picture or three, hold the fish, rub your hands on your close and go change clothes. For the SO the photographs look & smell like four days of fishing. This is what we do.

IT GIVES YOU MORE JUSTIFIED FISHING TIME! :)

IMHO I find Flamingo nice for fishing a little more challenging for fucking. Jaco is closer to San Jose decent fishing and good fucking.

PS

Check the weather report go to the Marina as soon as possible preferably early in the morning or later in the evenings. I've tried booking through the hotels I haven't personally ben as happy. I do enjoy fishing so I know what I'm looking at once I see what I want I start negotiating prices. If it's a busy time of the year negotiations are probably not going to be too successful as slower times. If you go through the hotel it is what it is.

Sixpack,

If you're planning on stay their you should make some reservations soon. This place is definitely hard to get a room at the last-minute.

The credit card thing. I have one card that I specifically use for this type of activity and I keep a close eye on it. If you want to reserve the room to the best of my knowledge this is the only way you're gone to do it, short of sending some form of cash, money order etc. You can call the hotels straight and deal directly with them I find it saves money and confusion.

I have probably been to CR about 18 times in the past 5 years I've never had a problem. I've done both reservations over the Internet & phone some of them have be done through a travel agency.

These people try to get everybody involved (get paid). If you get in a taxi and say I wanted to go shopping he's going to take you somewhere where he's getting a finder's fee of the purchases. It's a game that I've experienced all over Mexico / Central America.

Happy Hunting,

Im going for my 1st trip from the 13th thru the 17th also. I have done my reading since booking my trip and it doesnt look like the best western was the best choice but thats where I am.

Can anyone recommend a good fishing place? Im gonna have to do something other than fuck for 4 days. Well maybe.

Gman looks like we are going to be there the same days. Do you fish? I am going to CR by myself and it might be safer to do with someone else.

I usually arrange a 1/2 day trip out of Quepos or Jaco. Leave about 5 AM in the water about 7:15 fish until noon or 1 nice lunch at Ccocabana sight see at coffee plantation or sights along the way back in San Jose with fresh caught sushi or filets for dinner usually cost $450 - 500 for 2 people plus lunch a few women drivers include BJ at no extra cost

Best Western has no chica fee. Do not disturb other quests is the rule on how many chicas. Remeber the best thing about the Best Western is its location near Cha Cha and 747 two of the most fun and lowest priced places in all of San Jose.

I am going to Costa Rica along with some prescription Viagra. Every time I take Viagra I get a terrible headache. I've taken prescriptions pain killers before and it helps. What I was wondering was is it easy to get prescription pain killers in CR? I anyone has had any experience I would like to hear about it.

ThanksIn clinical studies of Viagra one of the most common side effects is headaches but those are usually mild and only occur in 16% of patients. Be glad that is your worst side-effect and you haven't suffered from priapism or blindness. Even so, if you do experience headaches, there are several things you can do short of the radical solution of adding painkillers to your chemical mix.
1) Try taking an Aleve or Tylenol at the same time as you take the Viagra.
2) Adjust your dose of Viagra downward. Most guys taking Viagra do not need the full 100mg dose and even a 1/2-1/4 pill can be effective.
3) Try using a different ED prescription. Cialis and Levitra also sometimes cause headache side effects but maybe you won't suffer the same problems with them,
4) Rather than self-medicating, consult with your local doctor who prescribed the Viagra in the first place (if any) and get him to write the extra script for painkillers if those are really called for (I somehow suspect that he would advice against it if there even was any local doctor involved at all)
5) If the headaches are really so bad that you need to take prescription painkillers, then maybe the side effect that Viagra causes is worse than the problem it is supposedly trying to solve. If so, maybe instead of compounding the problem by taking potentially addictive painkillers, which carry potential side-effects of their own (can you say Celebrex and Vioxx?), you should be asking yourself if you really even need to take Viagra that badly in the first place.

You referred to it as prescription Viagra, but most guys who take it probably do so as an enhancement aid rather then as treatment for any real ED problem, even many who convince their doctor to write a script (sometimes lying about or exaggerating their problems in order to get it). Often if they can't get their local doctor to write a script (or don't feel comfortable discussing it with him), they go on-line and perhaps fill out some anonymous and unsubstantiated questionaire where they can claim to have some ED problem, and secure a "prescription" that way. Is your ED "problem" really that bad that you really can't get it up at all without the aid of chemicals or is this really something more to enable you to go for multiple sessions per day? Do you have some other contributing factor such as advanced diabetes? Or are any ED symptoms mild (or imagined) and have you tried alternative approaches than resorting to prescription drugs? Somehow I'm a little dubious of your real need.

However, if you're looking for prescription medications in CR, it is at least as easy and usually even easier than in the US. The Alvarez Pharmacy, actually in Heredia, has a good reputation and they deliver, but you can nearly as easily walk into just about any pharmacy in downtown and probably get a better deal on Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, etc. on the spot. Technically, you may need a prescription but practically they either have a licensed dispenser working behind the counter or next door or the prescription requirements are just quietly ignored. Even prescription painkillers for Gringos are readily available. I know of Gringos purchasing such drugs as Valium, Prozac, muscle relaxants etc. without even being asked for a piece of paper. The only drugs that I heard do cause problems are ones like Morphine.

As for asking a cab driver, I think that is absolutely horrible advice. It better be one you know and trust and use regularly and even then I would have my doubts. More often if you go that route expect to pay a lot more and/or even be ripped off with counterfeit pills. Even at an established pharmacy counterfiets and rip-offs can sometimes be a problem. Some of the Gulch area pharmacies that have been reported as being reliable are:

1) Balmoral AC C7/0 n
2) Italiano AC C1/3 s (near the Gran Via)
3) Catedral AC C1/3 n (across the street from the Italiano)
4) Morazon(?) A1 C7 sw (diagonally across intersection from the Morazon)
5) Botica Int'l A1 C4 nw 222-7481
6) Chavarria A2 C7 ne(?)
7) There is another farmacia across from the Holiday Inn that has been mentioned as being okay.
8) Any of the Fischel Pharmacy chain
9) Farmica Sucre two blocks east of Hotel Presidente on Ave Central.

And in Heredia, Farmacia Alvarez (A2 C3/5 s 150m west of Courthouse) 840-9585 http://www.farmacia-alvarez.com ($21.95 for 10X50mg Viagra so definitely not the cheapest). One is most likely not going to want to actually go there but they offer free delivery.

1) I don't "need" viagra. I usually use it an an enhancement aid, not because I have ED.

2) Why did I say "prescription Viagra"? Well, I wanted to be clear that a doctor prescribed it to me as opposed to internet adds and other dubious means.

3) Why do I have a prescription for it. Well, I am into bodybuilding and I have low testosterone. I don't take steroids, but I requested that my testosterone levels be tested. I suspected they were low and this is a hard thing to discuss with your doctor as they will see you as steroid-seeking rather than having a legitimate need for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). So, I went to a Urologist and said I had low libido and ED problems and I suspected low testosterone levels. This was verified with blood work and I had 164. There's some argument as to "normal level" but a safe range is 280-800. Most TRT pharmaceutical companies will conduct studies on patients with levels lower than 300. I was given Testosterone and I am given Viagra since my initial complaint was sexual function. I rarely use Viagra if ever, but since I was going to CR, I wanted to take some along in case I wanted to do some marathon sex sessions.

4)I have very bad migraines and taking Viagra stimulates them. You are probably correct that I should just avoid it.

5) I have taken prescription painkillers for migraines for over 11 years now and never became addicted. I do not take narcotics for fun and I guess that's how I avoided addiction problems.

Since I am talking about testosterone, let me advise all men over the age of 40 to have their testosterone levels tested with their physicals. Low test levels accompany diabetes for example. If you have low test levels I can tell you that taking TRT will do wonders for you. You will not be dragging by the end of the day or find it difficult to get up in the morning or make it through the day. It hasn't done much for my libido or sexual function, but if you go to a doctor saying you would like to gain or preserve muscle mass as you age, they'll ignore you. Tell them your dick doesn't get hard, they'll treat you. Women suffer sudden and dramatic decreases in hormones at menopause and it's perfectly accepted medical practice to provide hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but men's test levels start declining at age 30, gradually and so it's seen as unnecessary to supplement them. Additionally it is fear that giving test to men will create a super-human male with rage. Nothing can be further from the truth. I actually feel calmer since taking it. "Grumpy old men" is possibly caused by Androgenic Deficiency in Aging Males. Taking TRT will make you feel better. You will not be given dosages coming anywhere close to the levels taken by Bodybuilders. I've asked many body builders what they take and I can tell you that the amount given to me by my doctor is much less. In fact I am arguing with his PA for more since my levels are hoovering around 290. I think I want to be in the 300 range.

Well, this is probably more than you care to know, but thanks so much for the pharmacy advice.

Yes - The Presidente charges a chica fee ($10?)

Last I knew Prez has no chica fee. However, you are correct about the new dress code.

Dapanz,
Its nice to see you adding your knowledge over here. I didn't know about the chica fee at the Prez. Goes to show I need to keep up on current events more and probably missed its announcement on the other board where I'm sure it must have been discussed. As for the new Prez chica fees themselves, I can't say I'm surprised and most of us could see the direction they were heading once they started with the ridiculous dress code. IMHO, anyone who hadn't already written off the Prez as a chica-friendly hotel should write them off now with this latest development.

Roller,
Your latest post was a perfectly reasonable and informative explanation. If you had included even just the fact that you were normally subject to migraines and that you were also on some other medication it would have better explained your situation. However, I think a lot of my advice still applies. Obviously, taking a couple of Advil isn't going to cut it, but suggestion 2-5 still apply.

Since you got this prescription legitimately, I'd add in your case that you should go back to your urologist who is already well familiar with your complicating history and either see if he will
a) adjust your prescription for other ED medication to see if that helps
b) prescribe painkillers if they're really called for
c) possibly adjust the form of TRT you're on
d) advice you of some other possible work-around such as the timing of when you take your various medications (e.g. maybe it is just a matter of not taking any Viagra within so many hours of taking your TRT meds)
e) advice you if maybe it is something else altogether that you are taking that is contributing to this reaction such as creatine, myoplex etc.

I somehow doubt either of the last 2 suggestions would really apply, but you never really know unless you ask a real expert (ie your doctor instead of a bunch of yahoos on a sex board). I suspect that it is your propensity for migraines that is the real culprit here and the form of ED or TRT drug or any of the other stuff you might be taking really has nothing to do with it. There may be other solutions short of not taking the stuff at all, but as you admitted you're taking it as an enhancement not as something you absolutely need so just not taking might end up being the best solution.

I go to CR often and my favorite strip club is D'Palufos in San Pedro. They have crazy stage shows where they pull guys on stage and molest them then beat them witha belt. They have girls sticking bottle in any of their orifaces. Thye put whip cream on body parts and let guys lick it off and I mean completely off. Then abour 11PM, they have girls dance for you in public for 1000 colones. Then a little after midnight, they have hot lesbian shows. The thing I like best is they have very private rooms and they only charge $14 for 5 minutes and you can get a really hot lesbian show for $28. Recently I did a two gorl session for 3 sessions and the girls BBBJ the taxi driver and I for nothing. Sure as hell gave them a tip! There is another D'palufos in Alejuela near the airport and it has the same shows but the girls are greedier and many are silicon. Sen Padro has few North Americans but I have never felt threatened. I look anglo but do speak some Spanish. Few people speak Spanish at this one. Alejuela has more NA customers and one of the managers usually speak English. I have had more success just pulling it out during the dance and some ask for money and some just ask if you'll tip them later.

Dapanz,
I now see that you were referring back to an earlier post. You should have included some quotes or something in your post to make that clearer. Now I just added even further to the confusion. And all this caused originally by some first-time poster who apparently doesn't know as much about what he is talking about as he thinks he does. Disinformation! What a way to start off one's posting record on a forum. Way to go, Mrmrmr.

My recently single bud and I are heading south for our 1st trip to CR. We are planning 2 nights in SJ, then 2 nights in Tortuguero for jungle tours and fishing. Then it's back to SJ for our last night of partying. I think we have a handle on the jungle resort and a high end hotel for our last night. But was wondering what some of you thought to be THE BEST deal for us on our first 2 nights? I have read much regarding location and amenities. But this bar fine or chica fee thing really bugs me. Any input on what the best chica friendly hotel is? Really important for me is bed size, as I am 6'3.

Also wondering if you guys can give a newbie some tips on must go clubs, bars, or MPs.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, BTW my bud and I will be in SJ from May 27 29 and again on the 31st. Maybe some of you will be in town on the same dates?

Black,

I am no CR expert but have been 10 times in 5 years. First of all, I personally think the best hotel to stay in is The Del Rey. Especially for your first time. It is a surreal experience and it is the most convienent place to be.

You have the Monkey Bar and Key Largo within walking distance and a very nice casino. I forget the name two doors down. I really think for your first time in San Jose that being at the Del Rey and being able to hang out at the Blue Marlin, go across the street and play pool at the Monkey Bar, or go to the more disco atmosphere at Key Largo.

If the Del Rey is not available and for additional trips to San Jose as far as I am concerned there is only one place to stay. The Sleep Inn behind the Del Rey. First, it is BRAND NEW. Everything is nice, it is 100 yards to the Del Rey and all the above mentioned bars. I will stay there from here on out, but if I am traveling with a first timer. I will always try to stay at the Del Rey for the experience.

I have done the parlor thing in San Jose and yes you can get "more" for you money. But that is for trip 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. Stay at the Del Rey and get the full San Jose Experience.

Feel free to ask any specific questions.

Hi,

Just got back last night from a week in SJO. The taxi fare from the airport to downtown is now up to $18.

Visited ZB a couple of times. I'm not a CRT member and one hour cost me 27k colones. I was under the impression it was 25, but the dude with the glasses came back to the room and offered me two options...50USD or 27k CRC. I spent time with Charro for a BBJ CIM session. She didn't ask for the propina. I gave her 10k colones. She wasn't the greatest of lookers but the most agreeable to provide the service. I thought it was a Charro from awhile back who was a looker, but not so.

My second session at ZB was with Angela. Definately a looker and decent performer. She started with a bbj for a minute or so but then put the raincoat on. Finished doggie...nice pussy.

I'm partial to Oasis and had a great time. I guess now that I'm a regular and speak some Espanol, I get preferential treatment. Every girl I asked for anal would gladly have done it even though they tell me they don't do it on a routine basis. One poor little thing, Gretal, was even bleeding down there and she would have let me finish if I wanted to, but I figured she must have been in some pain so I let it go. Got the anal service also from Roxanna, and Gabby the Macha. There are two Gabbys there and that is how they distinguish from each other. The macha and the pequena. Also got bbj from all the girls and CIM from Jocelyn, Roxanne, Gretal. Roxanna is a tall good looking Tica, and Gretal is a small, flat chested very pretty girl. Roxanna is the youngest girl there at 19. Gabby the macha is the oldest at 23. I pay 20k extra for the anal and 5k for the bbj.

There are seven girls...at least that's what they tell me. I never saw them all at once. They were busy when I would get there. I only had one somewhat bad experience with a pretty girl named Karina who wanted an extra 5k after quoting 5k for the bbj. I didn't pay it. She got pissed. Oh well.

Also visited a new place in Barrio Escalante called Venus. The price is 13k per hour. 9k for half an hour. Open from 10 am to 7 pm weekdays, 10 to 4 Saturday. Closed Sunday. There were four girls there. None that were knockouts but passable. Also I would say their age range was mid 20's and up. I spent time with Stephanie. Her nickname is China. She has some minor features hence the nickname. She did the bbj but shorted me on the CIM. The best thing about this place is that it's in a residential neighborhood. It's very quiet and peaceful. The rooms have beds and large windows. Very relaxing atmosphere. Girls also wear masseuse type uniforms to pacify the police and avoid getting busted.

I haven't been to CR since August. I was pleased with everything this trip.

Don't want to bicker here. New years I had a SL girl to the beach with me. Gave her the money for a private van $35.00. And paid her $35.00 per day. Not including food, beer and travel thats comes out to $1.453 per hour. This March trip she would come over to the Hotel at 9 PM for the night and morning) $40.00 or $3.333 per hour.Don't want to bicker here either. But if you were screwing for every hour of those 12 hours solid let alone for 24 hours straight than you're a better man than me. So your calculations are a bit too simplistic. Besides, I thought we were taking about what it costs for sessions in the 2-3 hour range. After 2-3 hours with most of these chicas and after I've gotten my nut off a few times, I'm usually just as happy to see them on their way. We're not talking about brilliant conversationalists here.

And another thing that you completely forgot about is what initiated your first post to begin with. You were suggesting that there were better deals to be had elsewhere other than paying $44 at ZB and I agree there are. But then you cite some dates you had with a ZB girl albeit outside the club. How did you meet her in the first place if not by at some point going to ZB and paying that $44? And as long as you're counting every minute of your TLN as "session time" to bring down your perceived rate per hour of sexo shouldn't you also factor in the cost of the sessions (plus tips) you had with her inside ZB to come up with your average rates? Exactly how many was that before you saw her outside the club? Spending 2 full months out of every year also is a huge factor in developing these type of contacts, something that not every guy can afford or have the time to do. It seems to me your last post is an argument FOR not against making that initial investment of sessioning with a ZB girl and developing a rapporte so that she'll be willing to meet you outside of ZB (BTW, at some risk to her job)

Like member 2964 I also spend a fair amount of time in CR and don't have the wherewithall to be spending the $1400 for two weeks of mongering.

Since Wanda was working ZB I have been accumulating names and numbers from the so called protected girls who work there and they willingly give them out to make a lot of extra money working outside the ZB and other MP's the likes of Europa 2000, Monaco, Vips, New Fantasy, Las Marguritias, Sobeney, and the 6th street crowd.

To think for one minute that these girls a owned or endentured by the places the work is nieve at best.

Let's face it, the turnover is huge in these places and not every girl does business or a lot of business everyday. They have bills to pay and we have to pay to play. To ask a girl for her number to come to your apartment or hotel is not only perfectly acceptable and honest it's their right to do as they choose after they have fulfilled their commitment to their job..

I would find it hard to believe that any productive girl (ie. making money for the club) working any of the aformentioned bars/MP's got fired for working on the side...

Doesn't make good business sense, although I can see where the threat may be effective...Does anyone think Eddie would ever fire Pamela...he should be giving the whole $44 if he isn't already!

I definitely agree that there is a lot of incentive for many of these MP chicas to do a little moonlighting. They typically only get to keep about half of the MP session fee (I have no idea what Pamela's split might be) and with MP sessions (even at an expensive MP like ZB) being so much less than what many gringos will pay to bring home chicas from even more expensive places like the Del Rey, there is obviously lots of negotiating room to try and make it worth their while.

I also agree that there isn't a lot that MP or strip club owners can do to stop guys from trying to entice their girls away. When Newman was running Kamur he actually posted that he'd really prefer his girls would take their business outside the club and stick to just lap dances and pushing "dobles" while under his roof. If you can believe any of that. However, when you get down to it, there really isn't much that owners can do to stop guys from trying to entice his employees whether they want to allow it or not IF the gringo and his girl do it with any minimal level of discretion (to the best of my knowledge there are no hidden microphones hidden under the mattress in these places). And if they catch us what are they going to do to us? Ban us from the club or MP? In the case of ZB, that might seem like the ultimate tragedy, but then they'd lose whatever business we did bring into the club and besides none of us really depend on these places for our livelihood. We could even more easily than the chicas just go somewhere else.

OTOH, what is an owner to do with the chica when he is confronted by obvious "poaching" of his clientele, when a gringo asks his chica out right in front of the owner or comes stepping out of their room shouting "Does anybody have a pen?" (and what other reason could any guy have for needing a pen at an MP?) If he has good reason to believe he is losing business that he thinks should be his, he'll probably want to do something. After all he is running an on-premises entertainment club and not a matchmaking service. Without him, how would we have met these girls and been able to try them out? What do you think it costs to put together a club like ZB or the other places, secure the licenses (and pay off the officials)? Do you think he is going to settle for his $20 cut on one session and then be happy to never see another dime of any future sessions with that chica again? It doesn't matter what YOU think is "perfectly acceptable and honest" or the chica's "right to do as they choose after they have fulfilled their commitment to their job" (which as you will see can be argued isn't the case here). Its also the owners "right" to fire any employee as he sees fit. The mere fact that it is something that occurs after regular work hours is not enough to excuse it unless she met you originally somewhere else or is performing a different type of service for you than what she was hired to do at the club. Such labor commitments beyond working hours are not at all unusual. They are called "non-compete clauses" and though there may not be any formal written contract with these girls, there are definitely "house rules" that they agree to when they come on board.

So the motivation to do something about it is definitely there, but what? If the chica is a real money maker for the club, maybe not a lot. Maybe Eddie would never fire Pamela, though even that I'm not so sure if the circumstances warranted it, but I happen to know that he has at least suspended her in the past for other violations (e.g. getting into a fight last summer). I also happen to know of at least one chica who did get fired (and the gringo involved banned from ZB) when Eddie found out about it. I don't remember the exact particulars but as I recall there was photo evidence involved and less than discreet posting about it on-line. How many other chicas have left the employ over the last few years for reasons we don't fully know about?

These other girls who you say don't do any "business or a lot of business everyday" could very easily be canned or at least suspended if the little business they bring in goes right out and never comes back (or comes back much less because he's getting a better deal going direct). And while they might make much more than they do at the MP for that hour or two you spend with her outside the club, how much more will she lose if she's suspended for 2 weeks without any other regular clients lined up?

Of course, these girls are not "owned or indentured" to work anywhere. They are free to quit just as much as the owners are free to fire them. In the case, of the lower end MP's they very well might be able to simply go to work somewhere else and make just as much. Then again I don't know how tight a business community it is, but if the word gets out that she "steals" customers maybe she won't so easily get a job at another place and then she is back to working at Hipermas or some such place for $20/day. And what about the ZB girls? With the amount of traffic there and the rates they get (even if they split the fee in half), they're not likely to make that type of money if they go back to working at Oasis, particularly if they weren't doing so well at ZB. And the better ones could turn their moonlighting to a full time endeavor (and some have) and make more money, but there is often a reason they didn't go the Del Rey route to begin with. I know of at least one top-tier NF chica that could be making a fortune at the HDR or moonlighting but she doesn't do it I guess because she prefers the security of only doing it on-premises to going out with guys and because she prefers the set hours.

Now some of this is devil's advocate. I'm NOT saying that we should never try to meet MP chicas after work. And I'm NOT saying that a lot of chicas don't moonlight. AND I'm not saying there is really anything the MP owners can do about if they don't find out and not a lot more than that they can do even if they do find out. I guess what I'm saying is that I think if you're going to pursue these things, you need to be as discrete as possible. The risk to you may be non-existent but there may be some financial risk to the chica if the owners find out. Maybe not outright firing, but certainly a suspension that could wind up costing her a lot more than she would make off of you. If you really feel seeing a ZB girl outside of work it so "perfectly acceptable and honest it's their right to do as they choose" why don't you go up to Eddie next time you're there and ask him if he will give you his employees numbers so you can call them up to see outside his club? Then let us know what his reaction is.

BTW.... anyone know what IDEM stands for

Ok, this should be a sign of how my trip was going to start. I got a notice in the mail that said the electricity was going to be off at my house from 2:00am-4:00am. I had to get up at 3:30am to get to my flight so got ready in the dark. Oh, my alarm didn't go off either (cell phone)

So, I make it the airport and fly to Costa Rica. My rental car cost$27/day the insurance $34/day. What a deal! So, I drive over to Holiday Inn Aurola. You didn't tell me it was in the in the center of the sex district! So, I step out to get a taxi to go to Hotel Del Rey when I look over and see it across the street.

I walk over there and I am approached by a guy that wants to "help" me. Ordinarily I would wave this guy off, but he was pretty mellow, not pushy. I struck up a conversation with him and he told me he was from Califorinia (1/2 Costa Rican) and he was avoiding a jail sentence for vehicular homocide. He killed somebody driving drunk. Well, he and I talked for about 1/2 hour. He was a wealth of information about places to visit, etc. He gave me the "walking tour" of massage parlors etc. He didn't ask for it, but I gave him 5000 Colones tip. He really spent a lot of time with me.

So now I have the lay of the land (pun alert) and I am off to Hotel Del Rey. Maybe because it was Sunday, but I felt most of the girls in there were of AKC quality. Finally I see a really cute girl, big breasts. I strike up a conversation with her and she fails my test: Cuantos ninos tiene? She has "uno". Ok, so we dicker on price and I "pull up" and leave. I walk the joint talking to this ho and that ho and GODAMMIT THEY ALL HAVE "NINOS"!

If they have ninos, that means several things 1) Prune belly 2)loose pussy 3) Saggy tits. So, since the first hottie had only one, I cave-in! I go full price $100 (54, 000 colones). S

She follows me back to the hotel complaining that I didn't get a taxi. I argued "Why? So they can turn the corner? We enter the hotel and that's when I get hit with the "I got to check in" at the desk, they want $47 for the "guest" and I have to sign a huge contract of liability. Needless to say, I am doubly screwed. I pay it because I am now participating in the folly. Up to the room, quick sex, smelly pussy, fake tits, prune belly. Yuck. I am done. I walk her back to Hotel Del Rey because after all I am "liable" for any destruction that happens in the hotel.

So, first day I spent $147 for basically nothing I couldn't have got in the USA for that amount.

Personally the best money I spent so far is for the drunk's advice and walking tour of the sex district.

2964,

I have asked you in the past for photos of your $35/day travel companions, but looks like you haven't posted any.

I wonder why.

Look, I'm sure you can find a working girl that would go away with you for $35/day, but it's not a 8, 7, or even a 6. You are talking about a 3 or 4, somebody most of us wouldn't even begin to think about hooking up with. When you say they are street-able, what does that mean? We know what types hang on the corners, don't we?

But I still can't figure out why you are embellishing (lying) so much. Does it make you feel good to think that newbies think of you as some kind of player or something? Those of us who have been to SJ more than a few times know that you are not being honest.

7k for 2-3 hours? Yeah, maybe in 1985.

Seriously, stop misleading newbies with your stories. This is a board for factual, helpful information. I know most of the SL girls, and none would go anywhere for $35/day + a bus ticket. Maybe the SL cleaning lady, that's about it. Cynthia, Melissa, and Co. Now ask for $100/hr, so that's the minimum daily rate they would travel for.

Either fess up or post pics of your hotties.

Sorry to hit you heavy but you are wrong on many points! For example: maybe 2964 is a 9 or 10, speaks Spanish, dances, well mannered and the girls really like him versus a fat, hairy assed, sweaty old gringo slob smoking a stinking cigar, drinking rum and cokes, beer, vodka, not speaking any Spanish and pissing and farting throughout the day.

Boy, sign me up for a weekend with this dude fast!

Second, when mentioning SL, KL, ZB, IDEM etc girls maybe he's referencing girls who once worked there and now don't...as you may know, the turnover is huge and should they choose to stay in the escort field hotel, apartment and beach excursions make a nice cash flow.

Also, keep in mind that your 9-10 may be someone elses 3-4. Me for example...if she looks anything like a milky white barbie blond American type...I'm not interested..Pamela Anderson, Jenna Jameson included....save the comments here ...just how it is..

Lastly, the prices quoted per hour at any of the places in and around San Jose doesn't mean the girl got paid that rate for eight hours...Talk to the girls...many sit there all day, many days for nothing...mostly in the ZB SL IDEM and New Fantasy where , granted there is plenty of business but not necessarily for everyone.

As far as photo's go ...check my collection and you'll see a selection of girls who happily got well under $50 per session for numerous hours and were plenty satisfied

Lastly, for me I don't want to take a girl to the beach. I enjoy the few hours a day with the ladies but enjoy my own time alone at the beach, where I can talk to the guys, drink in the bars, smoke my cigars and fart as much as I want without embarrassing myself in the company of a chica

I'd like to dismiss a myth that many guys have about MP girls who moonlight outside of the MP. They will not come to your room for the same amount that they make at the MP.

If you pay $40 at the MP for an hour, she'll ask for more to come to your room. Even though they only make $20/hr at the MP, I had an Idem girl ask for $70 to come to my room. I know that they hear about then $100/hr girls get at HDR. They probably figure, why shouldn't they get a piece of the pie.

Sorry to dismiss your opinion but factually you're wrong...Many girls work outside the MP,s night clubs etc for much less.

I don't doubt you have had problems making this happen, but you certainly don't represent the whole situation

(Or can they?)It would be funny if he were joking about the whole thing, but I'm afraid he was serious. Reports of Distinction? Maybe, but only if it was clearly labeled as a what not to do lesson. This is not the typical result of any newbie who has done his homework. Let's start from the top:

1) $27/day for a car is actually a pretty good rate except that a car is completely unnecessary while one is staying in the city of SJ as cabs and buses are cheaps and most forays outside of town by a newbie is done as part of a tour which provides the transportation. Subsequent travel further afield from the Central Valley region might be advisable with a rental car but it is not needed while in town mongering which is where (unfortunately) most mongers spend most of their time.

2) $34/day for insurance? What makes anyone think it would any better a deal in CR with its road conditions, etc. than it would be for rental insurance back in the US. Check your current personal auto insurance or your autmatic credit card coverage. One or the other normally covers whatever you reasonably have to be concerned with.

3) The "gringo: from California has also been written about many times. He's worse than the tico bums which is really saying something. The fact that rollover spent 5K and hours walking around with this guy says a lot about his judgement. There are any number of vets who you can meet at the BM, SL or ZB who will take you around with them when they're ready to hit the streets, that you won't have to worry about scamming you and will do it for free.

4) The HDR/BM reaction. Well I hate to say but I can understand this reaction. A lot of guys seem to describe the place as wall to wall 10's or something. Frankly I don't see it at all, though beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. There are definitely a LOTof woofers in there trying to cash in on the foolish gringo with a lot of cash money train (and one of them found it with roller). But there are also usually plenty of 8's and 9's if you scope out the place properly (and/or wait for them to arrive). Unfortunately, or as might be expected, the cream of the crop gets snapped up quick.

5) How many kids the girls have is not the best or even the only test. As Roller discovered, most of these chicas already have nino's. And who care's (unless you're looking for an overnight traveling companion or something). If you're real goal is screen for prune bellies and saggy tits, there are more effective ways to do it. LOOK THEM OVER BETTER. I try to go only for the ones with bare midriffs. Look over what they're wearing. It is fairly easy to spot the ones who have their tits pushed up to make artificial cleavage (shit, I can do that too) or have fake tits (I haven't done that). Less easy to spot are the ones whose ass keeps spilling out when they finally take off their jeans back at the room. But I usually go for spinners so don't often encounter that problem.

6)"So, since the first hottie had only one, I cave-in! I go full price $100 (54, 000 colones)." Damn, if this is the result on the guys that do RTFF and most of the guys that go to CR don't, then we are really in trouble. You should never ever have to pay that much and certainly not for the minimal criteria that she only has 1 kid.

7) "She follows me back to the hotel complaining that I didn't get a taxi. I argued 'Why?'." Why? Perhaps because of high heels and cracked sidewalks or perhaps because of fears of muggers in the Morazon Park which is well known for that. But if Roller really thought the complaints were so ridiculous or at least overblown, maybe that should have been his final clue that this chica was going to be trouble and he should have ditched her right there and walked her back to the bar without sessioning.

8) The "fees" at the Holiday Inn? I never heard of $47. At worst you can sign them in as a registered guest along with you instead of as a visitor and just pay the double rate instead of a single (usually about $10-20/night). The only drawback there is that you can only do that with 1 chica per day. If you only want to sign them in as a guest, you and the chica do have to sign a sign-in sheet. That is standard practice everywhere, even at places where they don't charge a fee. And the sign-in is for your protection as much as anything. Some guys try to get around the high chica fee at the HI and similar places by trying to sneak their chica in around the security. But if something later happens in your room, you actually have much less recourse if you were violating the hotel's policy. The HI is widely reported to charge $20 to bring chicas back. Again all this has been reported on this board. Any place with a rate that high (let alone "$47") can not IMHO be fairly described as chica friendly. Whatever the rate, Rollover should have known about that and been prepared for it or better yet chosen a different hotel.

Sorry to hit you heavy but you are wrong on many points! For example: maybe 2964 is a 9 or 10, speaks Spanish, dances, well mannered and the girls really like him versus a fat, hairy assed, sweaty old gringo slob smoking a stinking cigar, drinking rum and cokes, beer, vodka, not speaking any Spanish and pissing and farting throughout the day.Maybe, I frankly doubt it, but then he shouldn't post what he has as if his results are the same everyone else can expect. I've seen this argument often and it is true to SOME degree, but the far more common reality is that few of us are actually at either of the two ridiculous extremes you just described

Second, when mentioning SL, KL, ZB, IDEM etc girls maybe he's referencing girls who once worked there and now don't...as you may know, the turnover is huge and should they choose to stay in the escort field hotel, apartment and beach excursions make a nice cash flow.Actually, he didn't specify past ZB chicas and made it sound like he was talking about ones that are still working there such as Pamela. But even if he was talking about gals that have been canned or quit. On a straight cash basis, they're not going to work for less than they could have made just sticking around ZB or moving over to the HDR/BM, unless they are getting something else out of it (dinners, shopping, all-expense paid trips to the beach, or just the services of a handsome charming stud)
Also, keep in mind that your 9-10 may be someone elses 3-4. Me for example...if she looks anything like a milky white barbie blond American type...I'm not interested..Pamela Anderson, Jenna Jameson included....save the comments here ...just how it is.Another overworked argument. That might work in the other direction to explain why some guys over pay for what we see as a 3-4, but it doesn't explain why a chica that even some guys might see as 9-10 would go for only 7K colones when there are those "some guys" out there who would probably pay much more. No, if she is going for only 7K, then she probably is futt bugly or there is some other special connection between her and the gringo involved.

Lastly, the prices quoted per hour at any of the places in and around San Jose doesn't mean the girl got paid that rate for eight hours...Talk to the girls...many sit there all day, many days for nothing...mostly in the ZB SL IDEM and New Fantasy where , granted there is plenty of business but not necessarily for everyone.Again, the fact that girls don't get the full fee has already been pointed out but at ZB at least they still get more than 7K. Many get that just as their tip (on top of their share of the house fee) without ever having to go out with anyone. The fact that they sit around might be a good one, but if they sit around all day at a place as busy as ZB then there must be something pretty wrong with them that not even one guy walks in all day that decides to pick them. Also, to the extent they're not busy for the full 8 hours/day, having to sit around joking with your girlfriends is hardly the same level of work as having some old gringo guy humping away at you (you think these girls get enough sex to satisfy them and would want to give it a rest). Even with a "sure deal" outside the club with no sitting around, these girls know what gringos pay at the club and they know what some chicas get at places like the BM. They may go less than the usual MP session fee, but there's no way that they're going to go for much less let alone only 7K for 2-3 hours. About the only way that would happen is if its with a guy that they're been with many times at the MP and know and trust and perhaps really like, or one who has been tipping her heavily over the past few sessions. But then what does his average cost per hour really come out to?
As far as photo's go ...check my collection and you'll see a selection of girls who happily got well under $50 per session for numerous hours and were plenty satisfiedPhotos, prove nothing. I'm not saying you've reposted anyone else's photos. Though that has definitely happened before with others. But even with a real and genuine photo, it proves nothing about how much was paid (or claimed to be paid) for that chica. We can only take the poster's word on that, And claims of only 7K for 2-3hours when so few other mongers back that up does not lend a lot of credence to it.

Lastly, for me I don't want to take a girl to the beach. I enjoy the few hours a day with the ladies but enjoy my own time alone at the beach, where I can talk to the guys, drink in the bars, smoke my cigars and fart as much as I want without embarrassing myself in the company of a chicaI can readily understand that, but then if that is the case one shouldn't be factoring in that "guy time" in coming up with absurd average hourly rate claims.

Sorry to dismiss your opinion but factually you're wrong...Many girls work outside the MP,s night clubs etc for much less.
I never said that every single one wants $70/hr, but most do. But you must be talking about those "hot" babes from Tico MP's that make $6/hr. Yes, those will gladly come to your room for $35 for a couple of hours. But good luck getting an Idem or ZB girl to your room for under $50-60/hr.

I walk over there and I am approached by a guy that wants to "help" me. Ordinarily I would wave this guy off, but he was pretty mellow, not pushy. I struck up a conversation with him and he told me he was from Califorinia (1/2 Costa Rican) and he was avoiding a jail sentence for vehicular homocide. He killed somebody driving drunk. Well, he and I talked for about 1/2 hour. He was a wealth of information about places to visit, etc. He gave me the "walking tour" of massage parlors etc. He didn't ask for it, but I gave him 5000 Colones tip. He really spent a lot of time with me.California boy really cashed in. Vehicular homocide? That's a new one, he usually has a more believeable story. A few times he lost his passport and was given a counterfeit 10K bill and wanted $2. 90 for a meal.

But this generous man gave him $10. He just made his weekly salary on one newbie. Shows that reading the boards prevents you from being taken like that or for the $47 chica fee.

One thing that seems to be overlooked in this string and many other discussions about pricing and chica experiences, is the amount of time one spends in midtown San Jose and the gulch.

If you're visiting for a long weekend or maybe a week or 10 days once or twice a year then you are going to have a completely different mindset on hooking up verses a guy who spends a month or two at a time a couple times a year.

The infrequent traveler hasn't the time to experiment very much and his experiences are mostly limited ....thus making my experiences and 2964 and others, RCB (possibly) ventures seem a bit unrealistic

Believe me, two straight weeks at ZB, SL, DR and Kl can get a little old.

Venturing out for a change, and taking the risk of no pussy for a day or two can be very threatening to the occasional visitor.

So maybe not to fast on critisizing of what you really don't know and keep an open mind that maybe someday it could be you if your willing to do the work and put in the time.

The change pace is how one goes about building relationships and getting the extraordinary chicas off the beaten track......well, off the gringo beaten track....again, some of the places have been around over 20 years (VIPs, and IDEM to name 2)...they must be doing something right...even if it's mostly for the pleasure of the ticos and nicos and a few venturesome gringos

I have to agree with 2666. He mades valid statements and adds helpful insight into suck-cessful CR mongering.

Before prolijo or kid brooklyn ever mention other peoples posting or not posting pics. POST SOME OF YOUR OWN. either here or CRT

You state that I have posted of taking a ZB girl to the beach. Show me or the post the quote. I never mentioned ZB in my post: only SL and DR.

You mentioned a ZB girl (empolyee getting fired). I am familiar with the story and was there in March; Vanessa still works there.

I think Eddie has the coldess beer to be had in SJ. But his prices are too high: even with the CRT discount.

As I have stated I spend 2 months +/- a year in CR, since 2003.

I have never stayed at the DR, Holiday Inn, Balmoral, Presidente, ZB, SL or Morrzon.

I HAVE NEVER PAID $100.00. NUNCA. NADA. NADA. NADA.

I learn more spanish every day. I bring regalo's for the special woman who have become amigas.

I sincerely have fun and treat the girls respectfuly and with consideration.

I have been invited to their homes and have met with their families.

In closing I am reminded of a joke: prolijo and kid brooklyn you can call me the Rabbi and you are the I.R.S.

"At the end of the tax year,the IRS Tax Office sent an inspector to
audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books the
turned
to
the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles.
>
>"What do you do with the candle drippings?"
>
>"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back
to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of
candles."
>
>"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way:
"What
about all these bread -wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"

>
>"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying
to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send
them
back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send us a free
box of mahtzos."
>
>"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster
the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with
all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
>
>"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save

all the foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year

they send us a complete dick."

Real nice, 2964! You've managed to turn a mean (and not that funny) ethnic joke (insulting to jews as well as IRS agents) into a backhanded way of calling me a dick? If you're going to flame why don't you just come right out and say it. You'll note that I've refrained thus far from such name calling, sticking instead to fairly and consistently pointing out the many factual and logical errors in your statements. I'm sorry if the truth bothers you.

BTW, if you were a rabbi you'd know that it is priests who deal with wafers and moyels that deal with foreskins. Also, they save up all the foreskins and at the end of the year send it to a leathercraftsman not the IRS. All they get back is a wallet, which may not seem like much, but if you rub it a little it turns into a suitcase.
I have to agree with 2666. He mades valid statements and adds helpful insight into suck-cessful CR mongering.Why am I not surprised? You guys are always agreeing with each other and slapping each other on the back when no one else will. You even practically share the same handle. What are you clones of each other or something else...?

This has nothing at all to do with getting out of SJ or away from the mongering scene. If that were the case, you're WAY off base in what you're suggesting about me. I've spent as much as a month at a time in CR. I know how old the usual monger scene can get. And in ALL my trips, I've always spent more time exploring the country than hanging out at newbie monger places like the Blue Marlin. Afraid of change or venturing out and taking the risk of no pussy for a day or two? I travel the country solo most of the time, rubbing elbows with ticos on public buses and practicing my spanish, staying in tico hotels and visiting tico bars. Last trip, I climbed Mt. Chirripo. How many people here have done that? And so what? I agree that getting out of the Gulch and away from mongering is a good thing. What does any of that have to do with being more effective while you ARE mongering?

I'll admit I haven't "experimented" as much as I'd like to have (who has?), but I think I've gone way beyond what you suggested in that regard too, and certainly more than the average gringo you run into down there. I've been travelling to CR since 2000 and have long since gone beyond the "ZB, SL, DR and KL". In fact, ZB and SL didn't even exist when I started going to CR. I've been in the Pensiones of Calle 6 where you can get a chica for less than 7K/hr and I wouldn't touch those skanks with your dick. And I've gotten the free blowjob after the Park Hotel Oil Show. Those chicas were pretty skanky too, but the price was right. And I know personally how realistic RBC's ventures are because I've actually been with him to places like Arcada's and Molino Rojo and even Miss Caribe across the street (which I also wouldn't recommend). I was taking chicas out of tico MP places like Arte's before you were even a member of this board and took my first mongering trip over 15 years ago before there were even boards like this to guide you.

If 2964 had specified that the 7K for 2-3 hours moonlighting with a pensiones whor, we wouldn't be having this discussion. If he had said that he was privey to some special deals with the ZB or NF chicas by virtue of being "willing to do the work and put in the time" (or as likely several sessions where you weren't getting special deals and possibly laying down heavy tips), then I'd even believe he could get them for below session price, just not anything near 7K which nowadays is a TIP at ZB. If he laid it out like that it would have been clear from the outset that hooking up with chicas like the 2 ZB gals in that picture for even the high end of the range mentioned (20K for 2-3 hours) would be very unlikely for the vast bulk of CR visitors who come to CR "for a long weekend or maybe a week or 10 days once or twice a year", REGARDLESS of their "mindset". Instead, he went on to argue using completely ridiculous calculations of even lower rates ($1.453/hr and $3.333/hr) by ignoring the fact that most of the time on those "dates" was really "downtime" (thereby completely eliminating any credibility in my mind)As it is, his posts are at best highly misleading to any newbies reading this board and at worst idle boasting and puffery.

Hey mongers...Needed advice on a first time trip to CR (and I have RTFF, so am a bit overwhelmed!)
Most of my mongering experience has been in Asia (so that's the framing I bring.)

I look for a slightly "upscale" experience. So what I gather from the forum is Marriott, thought a bit futher off, might be the most upscale, Chica friendly hotel.

Also, $100 or so is the going price. What was not clear to me is was this for Short time? OR all night? Typically, I like all nighter, GFE types.

Also, any recomendations for clubs which might have semi-pros available for P4P? Most of the places referred to here seemed to be pro oriented. Thanks in advance!

I arrived in SJ this morning after a traveling nightmare yesterday. After checking in at JFK airport two mornings ago I managed to fall asleep in the waiting lounge. (I'd had a big night out and a blowjob in a Manhattan club, and no sleep for 30 hours).

My flight was 630am, but I woke up in waiting lounge at 9am, dazed and repeatedly saying "Oh fuck". My flight and ALL my luggage had gone to SJ without me (I'd put my carry-on inside my suitcase). I reported my problem to the airline, then went back to New York City to stay a hotel to catch up on real sleep and nurse my wounds.

Finally arrived safely in SJ today. My accommodation is Sportsmens Lodge - nice place, and the owner is a nice guy. There's only a few girls here at the moment (it's a laid back place), but it's only 5pm. The girls are cute and hot.

This afternoon I went to Zona Blue to pick up a discount card I'd paid for online a week ago. It wasn't there. The manager said she would give me the discount prices anyway if I wanted a girl now. I said "Manana", as my cab was waiting outside to take me to HDR. I did walk inside the bar area for a few minutes to check about 10 young honeys. Not bad, but the place is set up like a regular brothel. Not my scene. Dubai has spoiled me.

Went to HDR about 2pm to have lunch (food was terrible. Nachos for godsake - how could they get that so wrong?). There were about 20 girls, ranging from "Yaaaaghk!" to a couple of 9s. Mostly 5s.

I invited myself to sit with two girls sitting chatting at a table - one of the '9's and her friend (a '7'). They offered 200 for both of them for three hours. If they were available tonight I would have negotiated, just to get Miss 9 home. (She looks way too fresh, young and slim to have a kid). Unfortunately they both have kids, so they only work until 6pm. I prefer night-time sessions, so gave my apologies and again said manana. Miss 9 gave me her phone number just in case. I may be tempted one afternoon.

I left HDR and walked a few blocks to buy some groceries, and fell in love with a few of the local girls doing their grocery shopping. There was a lot of eye contact from them, but maybe they were just wondering why I was looking at them. ;)

Not sure where I'll go tonight, but whereever, I do believe I may bring home a bad girl or two.

Tomorrow I may call one of the dating site girls.

"Also, $100 or so is the going price." WRONG. Cien is not the going price. It's the fools price. You can negotiate down to $50-$60 for an hour. Now, a TLN can run you cien. Best to screen your TLN's carefully beforehand.

Are you SURE your luggage went to SJ without you and wasn't taken off the plane? If so, this was a serious breach of security. Since 9/11 there has been an FAA regulation that no plane is to take off with unaccompanied luggage. I was once on an American Airlines flight out of Miami that was delayed for nearly an hour while they removed luggage that had been checked in but the passenger didn't show up. That's why I'm somewhat skeptical. What airline were you flying. I'll be sure to avoid them in the future!

I posted, some time back, my "first day of stupidity". Of course I am writing with some humility on my experiences in Costa Rica. Maybe some can learn from them. I am not, however, presenting the following as an authority on the subject. Again, if you would like to read how it all started, scroll back to my original post "my first day of stupidity"

I think it's important to state that I am a bodybuilder, not to be impressive, but I think it will explain what some of my expectations were.

1) I didn't go to Costa Rica to get laid, no more than a child goes to Disney World to watch cartoons. I get laid at home plenty. I did expect a chance to chose some very top quality, young (over 18), women that would be somewhat reasonably priced. What I found were girls that were in their mid-twenties on up, that all had children, and most had really stinky pussies. One girl that told me she was 26, actually was 32, when she presented her passport at the hotel counter. 2) Since I only went for what I considered 9-10s, and there were damm few of them, I found them unwilling to negotiate below $100. I would offer $60-$80 and they would walk away. One even offered to introduce me to "other ladies that would take $60. " So, some will say they got pussy cheaper, and I don't doubt them, but I wonder about the quality. I found the Blue Marlin full of women of all levels of quality, and I am not sure that's even a good place. I did go to New Fantasy and Zona Blue and found the women there to be less than acceptable and walked out. Maybe you if I did repeated visits I would find better, I don't know. Again, I wanted prime-cuts, not some passable chick to fuck for pennies on the dollar.

3) Everyone seemed to talk about how dangerous it was there, e. G. Muggings in Parque Morazon. I walked through that park at all hours and never once felt unsafe, nor did I on the streets, or when I got lost in the bad section of town. Nobody asked, but let's talk about safety. You shouldn't go to Costa Rica to get wasted. I don't drink and maybe I am bias, but do you "need" to drink there? Save the drinking for when you get back to your hotel room. No matter what part of the world you are in, NYC or San Jose, every thief looks for a drunk. When you are walking the streets, maintain a serious look, not a threatening one, but one that makes you appear alert and ready for business, walk with your hands in a fist. No thief wants a confrontation, and if you look like you'll kick ass, he'll/they'll avoid you. I had a knife at all times too, not a pocket knife, but a good stabbing one. But, I was in the Army and I know how to use it, it's not a hard technique to learn, but don't carry one unless you know how to use it. Also, do you really love that beer gut or wouldn't you be happier with some muscles? Work out for a few months and make your trip to Costa Rica you reward.

4) This maybe a little hardcore for some, but take alcohol wipes (70% or better). Wipe your scrotum, dick, and the whole pubic region after each session. Your balls are banging against that infected pussy and when you flaccid penis comes out of that condom, guess where it lays. Against your infected scrotum. It only burns about 20 seconds, be a man and suck it up. STDs hurt a lot worse. All the chicks I had, were so impressed they used my alcohol wipes too and I even let them take some. Do it!

5) Know your limit! I paid for two girls, $100 each, on separate occasions, and didn't cum! Felt kind of stupid, but there is a limit to the number of times you can cum in a certain period of time.

6) Never believe their claims about not rushing you and how they'll give you a good time. They all rushed! They are all sweet and full of promises until you get them to your room.

7) Darkness can fool you. At the Blue Marlin I turned down a chick because she didn't look very good, and ended up picking up somebody else. Guess what? The one I chose looked worse in full light, the one I turned down, I saw in the lobby the next day, she was much prettier in the light. I really regret that situation, but try and get the lady you are talking to, to go with you to a more lighted area, it doesn't hurt to make sure.

8) I stayed in over 7 hotels. The absolute best deal, cleanest room, etc. Was the Sleep Inn next to Hotel Del Rey.

9) Don't stay at the Hotel Del Rey. I wouldn't know from experience, but every hooker in the Blue Marlin told me that. I think they would know and I would heed their advice.

To answer some of the questions that people wrote about my original post.

1) I rented a car so I could drive around the country, not to drive over to the Blue Marlin bar.

2) I knew about a "tica tax" I didn't know it was $47 at the Holiday Inn. Besides, Holiday Inn sucked! I thought I could bribe the doorman to let the girl in. The girl waited until we got inside then she went to the desk and made me go with her. I guess I could've backed out then, but it was the first night.

Well, I'll probably think of more to say. I know some of the old hands will pick this apart, but I think the perspective of a first-timer, written in truthful humility, is very educational.

Are you SURE your luggage went to SJ without you and wasn't taken off the plane? ...That's why I'm somewhat skeptical. What airline were you flying. I'll be sure to avoid them in the future!

LorenzoI wanted to keep my post a readable length yesterday, but since it's a rainy afternoon in SJ, here is the longer version, just for you. ;)

Trust me Lorenzo, It happened, and it was no fun spending another day in NYC with only my passport, credit card and ATM card and a bit of cash. Plus wondering if I would ever see my luggage again - including my laptop, three USB drives, two cameras, and newly purchased sex accessories.

I flew Taca. You are right - they breached the regulations. By the time I woke up at the airport, there was no-one at their desk, so I called their 1800 number twice that day. On the first call I re-booked my flight for the next morning ($100 rebooking fee) and asked how I could track my luggage. The guy said it would be on the flight to SJ. I pointed out that they cannot take unaccompanied luggage. He said they would. Still concerned, I called later in the day, and was told by another guy that they absolutely would not take unaccompanied luggage. Now I was worried, as I would be in SJ next day and my luggage would still be in JFK. He told me the only thing to do was arrive at the airport extra early and ask the TACA guys.

This story is getting long, but bottom line is I arrived at JFK early, the TACA guys were confused but helpful. They made a few calls, and sure enough my luggage had gone to SJ without me. I pointed out it shouldn't have. They pointed out anything is possible. Not only that, but my e-ticket had been given to someone else!

I was a bit pissed off that they left without me, considering I was snoozing in the seat closest to the boarding gate. It should have been obvious I was the missing passenger.

When I boarded the plane, the lead agent checked my boarding pass and said with a smile "Ah! Mr. Piper! You decided to fly today." When I mentioned I had fallen asleep and no-one looked for me, he said they left 45 minutes late while they waited for me.
---------------

Epilogue.

I arrived at SJ airport, went to the TACA guys, and after 15 minutes they brought my luggage to me. I opened it to check it was all there, and the guy told me not to worry, he had already opened it yesterday and for security reasons had checked everything. With a sheepish grin, I asked "Everything?" and he showed me the inventory: laptop, two digital cameras, backpack, etc. He forgot to open the black plastic bag with a couple of vibrators, masks, lube, full-body stockings etc.

On another note: Played a bit of pool at Sportsmens Lodge last night. I enjoyed a few games with one cutie in particular, but she was being jealously guarded by a giant guy. I took the safe option and went to Blue Marlin Club around 10pm (6am Dubai time, and it sure felt like 6am to me - I was bushed but determined to have some fun). After chatting with a few honeys, I ended up taking home an 18 y.o. CR girl who spoke almost no English, sitting with an older woman who helped negotiate the deal.

Due to jetlag and a few drinks, I didnt think to take pics or use the accessories. Just good raw sex. After the first session I just wanted to sleep, but she stayed, roused me up later, and we had a second session. Great little body, passionate and noisy, but wouldnt kiss.

I slept most of today, so energy levels are coming back.

Well, I'm glad you clarified that. I don't doubt you, but I'm quite surprised. I've flown Taca many times and even have a ticket to do so in July, and they've always impressed me as being efficiently run. I hope they don't make a practice of this, because it really does put all the passengers in jeopardy.

If you don't mind, could you speak a bit about the masks and the full body stockings? How exactly do you use them? I'm really not up (no pun intended) on the latest sex paraphernalia.

If you don't mind, could you speak a bit about the masks and the full body stockings? How exactly do you use them? Sure. I bring the masks in case the girls are hesitant to let me take pics. Makes it fun for them, and they feel more anonymous. Never fails to make them camera-happy. They soon get into the fun and allow pics without the mask. The crotchless full-body stockings - first time I've bought them, but should be fun too. Girls enjoy modelling lingerie.

I didn't use the accessories with tonight's girl. Our deal was four hours, but after about two hours she cut the session short, saying she needed to go see her kids. She probably wanted to get back to HDR for the next customer, as it was only 10pm. I was okay with that, as I was still jet-lagged and wanted to catch up on sleep. I deducted $20 from her salary and let her on her way.

____

PS - I guess I shouldn't complain too much about tonight's girl. While I was trying to upload my photos on the Sportsmens Lodge PC around 3:30am, a drunk guy arrived with his girl for the night, and she left his room 30 minutes later, saying "Gracias gracias".

Driving around with a cabbie tonight looking for a pharmacia that would sell me a cialis or viagra (I was shagged and wanted a half-tab.) No luck - they wanted a prescription, so I had to find my inner reserves.

But I digress.

As we were driving somewhere behind Morazan Parque, I saw three gorgeous girls on a dark street corner. I asked the cabbie if they were working girls. He didn't understand, so I said "Prostituto?" (pardon my bad Spanish). He said they were policia, trapping guys looking for streetwalkers. Beware.

Later we drove past another three gorgeous girls standing on a dark street corner. I asked the cabbie "Policia?" He laughed and said "Transvestos". Beware.

They are definitely transvestites. But just avoid the park after dark.

1) I didn't go to Costa Rica to get laid, no more than a child goes to Disney World to watch cartoons. I get laid at home plenty. I did expect a chance to chose some very top quality, young (over 18), women that would be somewhat reasonably priced. What I found were girls that were in their mid-twenties on up, that all had children, and most had really stinky pussies. One girl that told me she was 26, actually was 32, when she presented her passport at the hotel counter. 2) Since I only went for what I considered 9-10s, and there were damm few of them, I found them unwilling to negotiate below $100. I would offer $60-$80 and they would walk away. One even offered to introduce me to "other ladies that would take $60. " So, some will say they got pussy cheaper, and I don't doubt them, but I wonder about the quality. I found the Blue Marlin full of women of all levels of quality, and I am not sure that's even a good place. I did go to New Fantasy and Zona Blue and found the women there to be less than acceptable and walked out. Maybe you if I did repeated visits I would find better, I don't know. Again, I wanted prime-cuts, not some passable chick to fuck for pennies on the dollar.

There are some really hot ones. The problem is that they are quite aware of their hotness, which is because they are probably about 1 in 100.

I am not the bodybuilder type, but I do "lift". Not huge or anything, but compared to their population, I stick out. Many of the girls simply wouldnt sleep with me since they assumed all of me would be just as proportionately large. (Well some like the idea, most dont.)

It seems to me that if the girl likes you, she'd go down to $60 or $80. $80 might be a neutral amount they're willing to compromise on, but $60 definitely means she wants you on some level, just not enough to skip the money.

$100 or $120 or $150 means they dont really want to have sex with you.

Of course they'll all say "$100" at the outset, but if you can't bargain downwards, she doesnt want to do it with you.

Most all of them have children, which is the main reason why they're out there. They probably cant get a guy to marry them, but they are attractive enough that they figure some middle-aged gringos would be glad to spend 5 mins with them.

I prefer the non-tourist chicas. They seem to love my gringo accent.

I went to Costa Rica thinking if I took a ton of Colones, I would be able to get better prices. First I got ripped-off on the exchange rate. I bought them from my bank and they really took me.

Then I go to Costa Rica and EVERYONE quoted me dollars, when I offered to pay in Colones, they pulled out a calculator to find the equivalent. Since I didn't have a calculator handy, nor did I want to question every single transaction, I just let it ride.

The only place that asked for Colones was KFC!

I would like to hear what everyone takes to Costa Rica when they go. What's the Cash/Colones/Traveler's Checks/etc ratios?

Many thanks!

I think they liked it. They all squeezed my arms and made comments about my "musculos". They also made comments about how "clean" I looked and how much they liked that I was "clean".

It seems to me that if the girl likes you, she'd go down to $60 or $80. $80 might be a neutral amount they're willing to compromise on, but $60 definitely means she wants you on some level, just not enough to skip the money.

I don't think any girl goes down because she "wants" to do you, they want $$$.

you are saying I have to see a doctor to get some Cialis????????????? Say it aint so!It was after 9pm, and only one nearby pharmacy was open. They definitely wouldn't sell cialis without a script - maybe other pharmacies do. I managed okay without a boost last night anyway. Miss J oozed natural cialis.

In the end I was glad I went natural, as last time I tried a half-tab of cialis I reacted badly.

EDIT IN: I bought cialis over the counter today on Avenue de Centrale. So little time, so many women.

Downtown SJ is a small world. I wandered around Central Avenue this afternoon, then settled into a street-side cafe where I could eat, drink and watch the lovely locals walk by. A guy sitting at the next table struck up a conversation - first trip here and he'd only been in SJ for an hour. When I asked him where he was staying, he said "Here". Turns out I was sitting at the News Cafe in Presidente Hotel. Good location.
If you are going to be around Del Rey or News Cafe and want company watching the crowd just let me know.We'll be at Del Rey around 10:30pm. Just look for the shagged-out looking 40-ish guy in jeans and black t-shirt, medium build and exotic Australian accent, and a wide-eyed lean balding Amercian guy around same age.

I think all the Porn I've watched has ruined my ability to reach a hard-on with little visual stimulation. The wild things the women do in the videos plus close ups that you never get to see in person cause your head isnt down there has numbed me. So I have to be extremely attracted to the woman to really get it up nowadays. :(

Without Cialis, how would I get it up?! lol

05-24-07, 23:34

I'd have to agree about poor quality (in the looks department). I was in BM and KL last night for over two hours. There were about 100 girls, but I seriously couldn't be bothered with any of them. Maybe I was just shagged out. There were a few gems, but I wasn't in a hurry, and they were soon snapped up.

The silicone implant doctors around here are making a very good living, but they over-do the boob-jobs. Some of the girls look like they are ready to explode.

One tall caramel-skinned DR girl nearly managed to hook me, by virtually giving me a hand-job in the busy main bar for about 30 minutes as we talked and snuggled while she looked into my eyes with her smouldering eyes. At that point I realized I didn't need the help of the cialis after all. ;) I should have taken her home, as she was an 8, no silicone, and hot.

For some reason I wanted to look around more, so I said I'd be back in 5 minutes and went to KL for 30 minutes. The 10 gem I've seen there the past two nights was constantly busy dancing with old guys. She gave me a hello and a cheeky smile as she walked past but sat at a table with one of the guys - she was taken again.

Miss J from yesterday's photos was at KL, and tried to talk me into another night in my hotel room, but I wanted a little more variety and a little less silicone.

Finally, I wandered back over to BM about 2am. Only about 40 girls, and overall very poor quality with a very tired atmosphere. A few girls dozing on their seats. Miss Handjob was gone, so I settled on a youngish CR girl (about 20 y.o. and a 6-7 in looks). Nice attitude, not a bad session, but nothing to write home about. I should've taken the night off, but my free nights here are coming to an end soon.

As I was sitting alone at a table last night at BM waiting for my new pal to arrive, several girls came and propositioned me. I mentioned I was waiting for a friend, so maybe later. Most just smiled and went on their way.

Suddenly I felt a girl caressing my shoulders from behind, saying "Hey baby, how are you, you want company?" I looked around and she was the ugliest girl I've ever seen. Obese, wearing a halter top, her stomach hanging over her mis-matching yellow mini-skirt, a hag of a face with clown make-up, and straggly messy hair. Despite my protests that I didn't want company, she kept persisting and wouldn't stop caressing me. In the end I firmly said "Please go away", and she did.

She really was a freak show. The girls were laughing at her as she hobbled around unsteadily on her high-heels. She clearly has problems.

Finally made it home to Dubai (38 hours travel door to door). Time to reminisce about the girls.
________________________

'India' from Hotel Del Rey:

My favorite girl during this trip was India. Not a stunner, but not ugly. A little on the Rubenesque side, but I like 'cuddly' girls from time to time. During the night she asked me why I chose her when there were many more beautiful girls in HDR. I told her she was one of the most beautiful girls there, and that I liked her natural looks. She liked my answer. (I was being honest, but truth be known, she also tickled my fetish for dark Indianesque girls).

Also, most of the girls at HDR seem a bit hardened and were aggressively "on the hunt", but she was sitting happily chatting with a stunning friend at the bar until I started chatting with her. I almost took her friend instead, purely for her looks, but I resisted.

As we chatted, India told me she didn't like HDR. She said it's too noisy and crowded, with too many drunk guys. I agreed, and took her across to the much more laid-back Key Largo where we played pool and danced to the great Latin American band for about two hours. Later, we went to a restaurant she recommended for another hour and a half. She was fun company, great dance teacher, happy personality, and lots of laughing.

At the restaurant, she told me a bit about her life. No sob stories - she's happy with what she has, and sees her part-time work for what it is - extra money for her family, and she gets to practice her English (!) She lives with her kids and her father, and works full-time on her father's flower farm in the mountains. She works a couple of times a week at HDR when she comes into town for college, and her father knows what she does when she's in town.

Neither of us mentioned money (or even a booking) during the night of chatting, dancing, playing pool and dining. But it was understood after a few hours that we would be going home together for the night. As I paid for the restaurant bill I brought up the issue. She asked for the usual Cien, and I didn't negotiate - we were beyond that point. By then she was relaxed and genuinely having a good night out (so was I), which meant that sex that night was pretty damn good.

As soon as we walked into the hotel room, she grabbed me and kissed deep and we played around a bit. She was already very wet before her clothes came off. Very passionate night, best GFE and best sex I had during the trip.
_____________________

Erica at ZB:

Erica was undoubtedly the best looking girl of the trip (and pretty good sex). She'd have to be close to a 10 in looks (young-looking, exotic face - she looks about 20, although she's 25). Very friendly personality. Just looking at her sultry face in the wall-mirror while shagging her from behind melted me.

I met her in Zona Blue on my final afternoon before heading for the airport, so only managed to spend an hour with her. If I'd met her earlier in the trip I would have tried to see her after her work for a night out and longer sessions (even though management of Zona Blue doesn't approve of moonlighting). ZB closes at 9pm, so I'm sure some of the girls privately moonlight later in the night.

One of the joys of travelling is bumping into interesting characters.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I found myself having a drink at News Cafe at Hotel Presidente last week, when a guy struck up a conversation with me. He was a great laugh. He's from New Orleans, and we had a bit in common professionally (plus he'd spent a lot of time in the Middle East, and I'd spent a bit of time in the Big Easy). Great guy, but he never stopped talking. Luckily I don't talk much and I'm a good listener.

We hit Blue Marlin Club together two nights running, and each time he fell in love with a girl within five minutes of arrival. He didn't make it easy for the girls, as he was a non-stop talker, and kept them listening to his tales at the bar for over two hours, while I walked around and checked in with him occasionally.

I remember on the second night, the girl he was ear-bashing for two hours looked at me in frustration, put her hands in prayer and rolled her eyes, nonverbally saying "For godsake I hope he takes me tonight after all the listening I had to do". With a wink and a re-assuring nod, I gave her the "Okay" hand-sign to let her know she'd be okay, as I was sure he'd take her home and she'd be paid for her hard work. As it turned out, I was right.

After the second night, he started his travels onto other parts of Central and South America, but he gave me his business card and made me promise to keep in touch (while repeatedly calling me 'Mofo'). I emailed him yesterday, but before I did, I googled his name. Turns out he's fresh out of jail for possessing Coke, and I'm not talking Cola.

He's not a big guy, but he has an interesting way of dealing with muggers.

So I just returned from a last minute 6 day excursion to Costa Rica. Spent the first 2 nights in San Jose and the last 4 in Jaco. Here is a brief summary of my trip. Arrived Monday night around 6pm. Checked in to my hotel, The Morazan, which for those who don't know, is next door to the Del Rey. It's a bit quieter then the Del Rey and rooms during the week run $45 per night. If you say you've stayed there before, they won't charge you to bring girls up to the room. The staff is always helpful(Especially if you throw a little propina at them). Took a walk over to the Del Rey and sat down at the blackjack table. The place was strangely quiet, even for 6 oclock. Turns out there was an immigration raid a couple hours before and they were harrasing and taking out the girls that did not have there papers in order. So I won a couple hundred bucks and decided to check out the massage parlor scene. Went to New Fantasy which was the first time I was there. The pickings were slim, only about 8 girls, but it was 8pm and they close at 9. Chose a Nica named Barbara. She had a beautiful face, but when she got undressed, she had the pouch. That being said, it was the best 45 minute massage I've ever had. When she was done, she finished me off with a BBBJCIM, cleaned me up, and sent me on my merry way. Went back to the hotel, took a little nap, then headed back to the DR. By 10:30, the place was hopping. Overall I would say the quality was pretty good. There were a lot of 6's and 7's, some 5's and under, and probably ten or so 9's and 10's. After visiting Rio on my last trip, I can see such a difference between the hardened DR girls and the Help girls. If you are looking for a GFE, I highly reccomend you fly the extra 6 hours to Rio. It's much harder to come by in Costa Rica. Anyway, I spent my time split between the bar and the blackjack table. I was exhausted from my day of flying and decided to call it a night without bringing home a girl. The going rate at the DR is $100 for an hour. I did some negotiating and got as low as $70 but it has gotten expensive. As on my previous trips, in my opinion, the best looking girls are definitely from Colombia. They know they're hot and command the most money and for the most part are very mechanic. I think my next excursion will be to Cali or Medillen.

Slept in kinda late the next morning. Not that there is much to do during the day in San Jose. The weather was rainy and San Jose isn't that exciting of a city to explore anyway. Went over to the DR around 1 oclock to check out the scene and do a little gambling. It was pretty quiet as expected. about 20 to 30 GDP's. Most low quality but a couple of decent ones. Lost some more money at the tables and split. About 6pm I went to check out Zona Blue. I had been there about two years ago when it had just been reopened but it's totally renovated now. The sitting room in the back has a nice bar and a bunch of couches on the lower level and then a loft above with more couches. They've added 2 hotel rooms upstairs that each have 2 bedrooms. From what I was told, the rooms are pretty nice and run about $200 per night. Sounds expensive but there's a good catch. You can come downstairs anytime and grab a girl for $20 bucks. At that rate I might take 4 at a time. Might have to try this out on my next trip. So I went in to the back room to check out the scene. About 15 girls there, ranging from 4's to 6's. I was very unimpressed after all the good things that I had heard. ZB is the most expensive of the MP's charging $60 for an hour. I saw one really hot spinner coming out of a room, but she was holding her jaw like she had just been in the ring with Tyson in his hay day. Was hoping she would come back but she left and with that, so did I. Took a quick walk by New Fantasty but the quality again was pretty low. I neglected in my first day post to include the price at NF. $40 house fee for the hour plus a $10 tip for Barbara. Around 9 pm, headed over to the DR for the festivities. The place was jumping with lots of girls. Again ranging from 2's to 10's. I saw 10 or so absolute beauties. Split my time between the bar and the tables and donated a substantial chunk of change to the BJ table. Met a lot of interesting guys at the bar and the tables. I still love the faces of the DR virgins. You can spot them a mile away. They have that deer in headlights look. I can remember my first time 5 years ago thinking, I can really have any of these girls. What a country!!! Anyway, was sitting at the Carribean stud poker table with a really cute Colombian girl named Anna. As usual, I was losing a lot of money and Anna suggested the money would be better spent on an hour with her. How could I argue with that. So we went back to my hotel room. Total cost was $100 for about an hour and a half. She had a killer body and I would never have known she had a kid. BBBJ and about 6 other positions. She was very personable, not hard like most Colombian girls I've dealt with. By the time we were finished, it was 3 am and I decided to call it a night. Overall, my impressions of the Del Rey have not changed. If you are looking for a quick lay without a GFE then this is your place. If you are looking for the GFE, then Rio is definitely your place to go. I prefer Rio but the flight and the cost of the flight can be brutal. I'm not sure where to post my day 3 through 6 since Jaco doesn't have it's own thread(Which it should Jackson... Hint, Hint) But I will preview it by saying I slept with the hottest GDP I've ever had in 10 years of mongering pulled straight out of the Beetle Bar.

Also are the "new" rooms nice? I have heard the room in the back are also loud?

Does any one know of a " jack of all trades" who has contacts and can introduce me to local girls.

I have been going to cr for almost 4 years adn I am tired of BM / ZB / Oasis etc.

I want a person who can hook me up to a new set of fish swimming in a deferent pool.

For example: some one who knows college girls/wifes need a little extra money that sort of thing.

Good place, rooms comfortable but no luxurious. Very chica friendly, in fact it's rather obvious the place caters to mongers. Nearly always some chicas hanging around the bar and lounge area, all screened by management. They will start out asking for US$100, but you should be able to get them down to $60. This is for a single encounter; don't know about TLN. Management very friendly and helpful. Will provide transportation to the airport. There is a restaurant that provides decent food, and of course a bar. Cable in every room. No chica fee, even if you bring in someone from outside. Downside: the place is very noisy every night until midnight, with drunken mongers whooping and guffawing in the bar. So if you need to retire early, this is not the place for you. The bar closes at midnight, then it abruptly becomes quiet. I will be going back there in July.

Yo Lance,

Sorry I couldnt meet up with you, I thought I sent an email through the system. I stayed in San Jose the whole time, although I had thought of going to Jaco.

Trip Report:
I certainly agree that the Colombian women were great this trip. While I did get two Tica's, one was good and another just o.k. The girls from Columbia I thought were much more fun. I commented to other guys there that the last time I was down at the DR the Colombians seemed a bit more business-focused, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find this new crowd.
The first one I was with was a really cute brunette with fair skin and green eyes, very nice body, and I couldn't believe that she wasn't busy. I scooped her up for drinks and she when it was time to negotiate she accepted an $80 rate and then we went up to my room. First of all, I'm always impressed when one of they girls gets naked and jumps into bed without asking for money up front, always an appreciated attitude. (Seems like the roles reversed this trip, the Tica's to me seemed to ask for the money up front first, more so than the Columbians).
Another noteworthy Columbian girl was a tall brunette, very beautiful, and a popular choice. I heard from a guy that her starting price was $120, and then adding on if she left to another hotel. My last night I finally caught here when she was free, had several drinks, and we went upstairs for a $100. She was a lot of fun, and also spent time after for a massage, very nice ending session to a relaxing week.

Hi All,

I'm going on a business trip to San Jose and will only have 3 days by myself to explore and find some ladies to have fun with. This is my first time to Costa Rica so I'm looking for some advice on how to hook up, quickly, with some ladies for two some or three some when I'm there. Any advice anyone. Don't want to pay much more that I'm suppose to. Thanks in advance.Thunderpants gave some great advice. The jist of it is that any one of the many MP's is probably your best bet. I would add a couple of points.

Hitting some place like the Del Rey or the Key Largo is not a bad place to go however the "problem" is that you'll have to take them back to your room. Normally this would not really be much of a problem at all. The reason it might be a problem in your case is that a) you basically don't know the girls AND b) you have more than one. If either of those were NOT the case, I would say no problem. But, IMHE, it gets exponentially harder to keep an eye on a chica, the more there are. It is far too easy for one chica to stick her hand into your pants pocket on the floor or go through your drawers or suitcase while you are otherwise distracted by the other chica. This would be SOMEWHAT less the case if it was a chica you had some history with and could "trust" to some degree, but probably could not be the case on a first-timer trip such as yours. First time around, I'd personally save the multi-girl sessions for the MP's which are better geared for that sort of thing and maybe look forward to a more private multi-girl session back at your room on a later trip. Of course, that doesn't mean you still can't go for some wonderful one on one sessions with the DR or KL chicas this trip. Also its a very good idea to have your stuff well-locked up no matter how many chicas you bring back to your room or how well you think you know them.

My second point is on how to pick out multiple chicas, which is not as straightforward as you might think. You may already have learned this from your multi-girl experiences elsewhere as it probably applies just as much in other places, but rather than simply pick out your 2-3 top picks and throwing them all together it is usually a better idea to make your first pick and let her decide on the other girl. First find out if your first top pick is even amenable to multi-girl sessions (some won't do them, some will but will only go 2 on 1 but not on each other and some you'll have to pry the girls apart). It might turn out that if your first picks reaction is only luke warm that you'd be better off going with your 2nd or 3rd pick. In other words, always do your prequalifying "interview" and don't be afraid to be specific about what you want and expect. Then, when you find a likely candidate, let her choose the second girl. Of course, you still have veto power. Most of these MP's don't have that many chicas. You may find what you want but you might not. Don't be afraid to walk out and check out another MP. You can always head back if you reconsider. Assuming her friend is not a real bow-wow, this will probably lead to a better time even if her firend is not as dropdead gorgeous as the one you might have picked since the 2 girls will be more likely to be relaxed and into each other (as well as you).

Isn't the $42 rate for CRT members only?

Try Zona Blue walk in pick as many as you want (there are usually 20) pay $42 each, go down the street to New Fantasy do the same, go to Oasis pay 20 each for as many as you like, go to 747 or Cha Cha, Jet Set, Pensiones pay 7,000 colones each for as many as you want later go to Pantera Rose, Monaco or others pay 50 dollars each for as many as you like even later go to Molino Rojo or Del Ray or Key Largo and pay from $40 to 100 each

Next day start at Veronicas, Kama Sportsmen Lodge and do the same for the same price or try Bar Idem for $50 there are enough places to go for 3 or 4 days and never repeat.

Guys, I copied most of your posts. But it is missing so much. I am not sure on a lot of places. Are they clubs or Massage or something else? Also missing lots of Prices.
And I am not sure which are Gringo Bars and which are Tico bars?
Is it safe to go into Tico bars?I'll try to get to a PM that addresses many of your places 1 by 1. But I'll answer some of your general questions here. You also might want to join CRT or at least check out their forum and do a search for RBC's (aka as Brandon here at ISG) MP List, which largely has already done what you're trying to do here and has most of the prices that you're missing.

The line between clubs, bars and MP's can get kinda blurry sometimes. For example, IDEM is a bar with on-premises action like a MP. So are a lot of other bars and nightclubs. In many ways it may be better to divide your list that way - take-out vs. on-site.

To the extent you have prices, that is a pretty good indication whether the place in question caters to primarily ticos or gringos. In general, places with prices in the 18-20K per hour range such as NF, ZB, IDEM etc. are really focused more at gringos (or a few rich ticos)while places with prices in the 10-12 range (or lower) get more locals (or a few more adventurous and savvy gringos).

Is it safe to go INTO tico bars? In general, I'd say so although it probably helps if you speak some spanish as much fewer people there will speak any english. The bigger question is whether it is safe to come OUT of those bars because a) you're more likely to be overly inebriated than you were going in and b) they tend to be in dicier areas. Always take cabs if drunk at night or even if you aren't if you are in an area that you are unsure of.

That is the best list for Costa Rica, that I have seen in the past five years.

Tiny 12

06-17-07, 21:22

Key Largo runs about $40 to $80 for short time.

Del Rey runs about $60 to $100 for short time.

Short time is the norm at both of the above. A hottie from the Del Rey (the 8's to 10's, mostly from Colombia) will typically charge $250 to $350 for overnight, maybe less if she likes you.

I don't think there are any rooms downstairs at Idem. The price is at least 21,000 colones.

Josephine's is now a gay bar; I think I recall seeing an advertisement for male strippers the last time I walked by it. You'll want to delete it from your list.

Zona Blue for an hour charges 21,000 colones for CRT and 24,000 colones for non-CRT.

Prolijo

06-17-07, 22:01

Tiny, of course you're correct that those $100 rates are just asking prices but I think you still err too much on the high side. Unless you don't have any negotiating skills at all the final rate one pays should normally be much closer to the bootm end of the ranges you provided than to the top. And the top colombiana hotties may be asking $250-350 per night but I doubt many but the most wet behind the ears newbie monger is paying. The reason they might ask that rate is because they'd much rather be nailing the suckers for $100/hr and wrapping up after the guy comes within 20 minutes of getting back to the room and undressed so they can head right back to the bar and do it again with some other sucker. It is not unusual for the more level headed chicas (in the 7-8 range) instead of holding out for $100/hr (which might not ever happen) to settle on $100 for 2-3 hours or perhaps a little more for all night, particularly if it is a little later in the evening and they don't plan on heading back to the bar any way. Or they may get their $100 but only afyer hours at the bar when they could have easily done 2-3 one hour sessions for $60 a pop. Besides, many are just happy for 1-2 sessions per day to make their nut and so you can often bargain more for time than for price.

Re: IDEM there is definitely a downstairs room. What you're paying extra for is the A/C (the ones upstairs only have fans).

I hadn't heard that about Josephines but I never go there anyway. Keep in mind that an ad for male strippers doesn't necessarily mean they don't still have chicas. It MIGHT be just a one night a week thing to bring in some extra business. Also, keep in mind that Kamur's has male strippers too - DOWNSTAIRS. Upstairs they always have some of the hottest chicas around.

Good point about Zona Blue. Without the CRT card, it is kinda pricey. With the card, it is many guys favorite place to go.

We could nitpick the list in post after post. There are actually MANY errors in it. Keep in mind his list is just a compilation from other 2nd hand sources. Despite its imperfections, I think it is a really good start and World should be commended for his efforts at putting it together. Rather than publicly tear it apart and take up more space here, why don't we all just send our comments to World, like he requested, and I'm sure he'll edit the list and make the corrections. You just might want to hold off for a little while. I've already sent about 3-4 PM's loaded with corrections and additional info.

Tiny 12

06-17-07, 22:27

Prolijo, irregardless of the strippers, Josephines is gay, unless things have changed in the last few weeks. WT69 should strike it from his list, else some of our fellow mongers may be in for a nasty surprise. We could argue all day about prices, and neither of us would necessarily be right or wrong. I've pulled women for as little as $25 from Key Largo and $50 from Del Rey, and am sure you've done better still. Both stayed for a couple of hours BTW. I'm sure you've run across some that wouldn't budge from $100. I have done as you suggested, and will ask for 2 hours if a "7" or "8" asks for $100. I've had good luck with this if the BM isn't particularly busy and if there's a little chemistry. That doesn't work so well with the real hotties though, especially around 9:00 PM to midnight. If a hottie doesn't bring up price, I probably won't either. Then I'll leave $100 close to her purse at the end. I think I've gotten more time and better service this way. I let her know I'm in Costa Rica for business a lot, want to repeat if there's chemistry, and get her phone number. My Spanish is pretty good, and I try to treat her like a date instead of a hooker. That approach has backfired on me with a couple of the sharks though -- she's out the door in 30 minutes and thinks she deserves a tip over the standard cien. I don't think the approach would work very well with a "5" or a "6" either -- she may think she's owed $100, so better to get the price straight up front.

I didn't intend to criticize WT69's efforts, just to point out a few inaccuracies. I think when you and others get finished with your comments, this is going to be valuable, and hope the administrator will create a unique thread for it so it won't get buried.

Thanks for the IDEM info. Next time I'm getting A/C.

a local taxi cab driver is your best bet. vicodin etc, the farmacia usually wont sell to gringos.

i've always had the policy of taking 2 tylenol with my dose of 25-50mg of viagra, for recreational purposes. the tylenol heads off the headache.

"experiment to find the lowest dose possible that works for you", is what my doctor told me. so i find that for me, 25-50mg is optimal. actually 33mg is my usual dose. i buy the 100mg tabs and cut them in 1/3's with a pill cutter.

also, i was told "if you take viagra with a little lemon or grapefruit juice, it gets into your system faster". others have said not to do this, but i'm not sure why. it works for me.

i have not tried cyalis. my doctor says "if viagra works well for you, then stay with it." one thing is that viagra also gives me a bit of a euphoria type high, as well as make me able to screw all night long! i like it.

In Reno, Nevada is cost $30. to get laid, but that is in the past.
But please tell us about a better place for all of us to get laid cheaper?
Please!

I have been to 70 countries that I can think of, that might be as the same or maybe slightly better once you visit them. At this point in life, I feel the safest is Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand, and Maybe Bali, but .... Oh yes Japan is safe, but... will you get laid?
So what do you think? Traveled Much?
I am open for lessons.

You have contributed a total of eight posts on ISG, two of them asking simple questions that you can look up easily if you RTFF.

Then your latest post gratuitously attacks chicas in CR for no discernible reason.

I am sure it made you feel like the big man since you are so much smarter and more knowledgeable than the others here who read the CR thread, right?

As you stated, it is extremely unfortunate that you have to spend two weeks in San Jose. But the solution is very simple: don't bother to get laid.

Good list.

On my last visit a few weeks ago I found a new novia (at least for the time being...) She's a gorgeous 30 y/o, middle class gal that speaks zero English, which has been challenging for me. Anyway, after our first date I asked if she wanted to go to a bar or nightclub for some vino.

She picked Lipstick three nights in a row. Good points: very gringo friendly (of course) with nice little enclaves with couches which were perfect for more private groping & cuddling. We could see the stage well but were pretty much out of view of most of the customers. Drinks are high - about like Atlantis - 2 drinks apiece was $40US. Interestingly one day 5 drinks were $40 and the next day 6 drinks were $60. Not cheap but well worth it in my case.

On the down side, IMHO most of the gals were a little sub-prime. It is totally nude but there's also a lot of dead time (again it didn't affect me).

Another night we headed to Josephines (thankfully the doorman told us it was now gay) and then on to Atlantis. We left Atlantis & returned to Lipstick because Atlantas was clearly set up for men only. There was only one couch & it was in a well-lighted walkway. No thanks, Lipstick was just fine. Pricing at Atlantis was $20 each for 2 drinks.

OK guys check them again.

[BTW....does "nightclub" mean "strip joint" in CR???]In Costa Rica "nightclub" means "strip club". If you want to go to a nightspot other than a strip joint, say you want to go to a bar or disco.

Am I missing something here? Why would you go out on a date with a woman and take her to a strip joint, 3 nights in a row no less, and be gouged for drinks? Isn't that like bringing takeout food to a banquet? Sorry, I don't get it.

....it was simply entertainment with a gal I like very much that's got the finest ass in town & gives me great sex. While watching the [inferior] dancers I was playing with ass & titties & making out in a quiet corner while we were enjoying our drinks. Hell of a lot more fun than most dates!

BTW - she picked the place, not me. Bottom line: $40-60 for 3 hours of fun. Good value IMO.

Is she your gf Dan?

You were not giving her extra $$$$ on the side like in the p4p world this site is for? Do you have any pics of this best ass in the world lady you speak so highly of?

Dan D Dick

07-03-07, 22:05

....I've got pics. And I do admit the "finest ass in town" comment might have been a bit biased.... And no, I didn't give her any money though I certainly spent some money on her (restaurants, baby doll outfits, lingerie, jeans, etc). What I spent was less than what my wing man was spending at the HDR for ST lovin'.

I guess my point is that GFE is readily avialable in SJO even for an old dog like me - hell she's 25 years my junior & her mother approves! My advantage over most is that I travel a lot for a living (I'm semi-retired) and am able to "stop by" San Jose once a month or more at essentially no cost to me.

My dos colones? Why Lipstixx? All you said was BAR or nightclub. What about old nightspot zones like El Pueblo or Calle Amargura (although those areas tend to have a much younger crowd than either of you)? Or, if those don't work, El Cuartel, Disco Castro, Salsa 54, Club Vertigo, Jazz Cafe, just to name a few more "normal" places?

Any chica that would come up with someplace like Lipstixx on her own (you said "she picked the place, not me"), let alone go in there with you, has to be at least a semi-pro if not full-time pro and not just some middle class girl like you made out. Tica girls of class just don't want to risk even being seen going in to such places let alone hanging out in one. Ticas, like most latinas, also tend to be very jealous. They may understand that "todos hombres estan perros" and chase other chicas but they're not about to actually encourage it themselves by taking any guy they're really interested in to stripjoint. You call her middle class, but she doesn't speak any english. Is she educated? Where does she say she makes her money?

Maybe you haven't given her any money YET (I have no idea how extensive your gift-giving has been or how much your wingman was paying back at the HDR where for many "cien" rules), but I see an RFM somewhere in your future if you keep going out with her. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if she already has made a little money off your dates only indirectly as kickbacks from Lipstixx for steering you in there 3 nights in a row. Just out of curiosity, did she seem to know anybody in there.

Or maybe she wasn't getting any kickbacks, then why Lipstixx? Because she likes to see you spend a lot of money taking her out? Believe me, no tica would choose to spend that type of money if it were her own. $40-60 for 3 hours of just making out may seem like a good deal to you, but you shouldn't have to take your girl to am essentially dead place with "sub-prime" dancers and overpriced drinks to do that. You could take her someplace where you could both have fun doing some real "dirty dancing" (with probably a fair amount of making out at the tables between dance sets as well) then take her back to your place for a helluva lot more than making out (which I certainly hope you also did anyway). For some chicas (at least the semi-pro types) guys spending a lot of money on them is an even more powerful aphrodisiac than taking them out dancing (which works more often for the genuine non-pros).

I don't mean to be entirely negative about your post. I agree that GFE is available in SJ even for old dogs like ourselves. How "readily" I'm not so sure. That last fact about being able to visit every month was one critical factor you had previously left out. And, in the case of your "novia", I strongly suspect that GFFE might be a better description - GirlFriend Fantasy Experience. Still who really cares as long as it at least feels like a real GFE and you're ready and able to turn down any RFM that turns up when the fantasy inevitably blows up.

They may understand that "todos hombres estan perros".................................

I see an RFM somewhere in your future if you keep going out with her.
1) What is RFM? Not on the abbreviation list.

2) In this case, you should use "son," not "estan." (The "is" of identity.) :)

"Request for Money" often comes in a phone call or e-mail to you while you're back home and not really getting anything for it (assuming you took the risk of giving her your contact info) with all the usual rationales but sometimes also outlandish ones ("mi mama es enfirmado", "mi papa es en el carcel", "el perro comió mi homework") and lots of reassuring "mi amors" and "mi corazons". If you already know she's a pro it might be how much she hates working at the BM or whereever and how if you wire her the money she won't have to work there anymore, even though she really will whenever you're not around and is probably e-mailing 1-2 other gringo sucker "novios" with the same scam.

BTW, I know my spanish is pretty bad and I'd like it to get better, but at least it gets me around. thanks for the correction.

Lorenzo

07-04-07, 17:36

"mi mama es enfirmado", "mi papa es en el carcel",
Thanks for the clarification on RFM. I have received a few of them. Of course any RFM should be ignored unless you have an ongoing relationship with a chica, in which case it's a matter of discretion. There must be a plethora of sick "mamas" and "abuelitas" throughout Latin America.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, in the above two sentences I quoted, you should use "esta" (sorry, my computer doesn't do accent marks) because they are temporary situations. Remember an oversimplified rule of thumb: permanent=ser; temporary=estar. Exception: place names, e.g., "San Jose esta en Costa Rica." This may sound trivial to us, but misusing these two verbs will be grating to a native speaker. (Not that it would keep you from getting laid, but using correct grammar may add to your charm.) Happy mongering,

Trip number 5 turned out to be by far the best yet, and I’m already chomping at the bit to go back. Alas, it looks like I will have to wait until early December. I’ve somehow managed a three-week trip to Peru and a 10-day, sex-drenched jaunt to San Jose all in the last three months, and this has definitely put a strain on this working boy’s budget (at 51, I love to refer to myself as a working boy).

A brief, categorized summary:

ZONA BLUE
By far the best time I have ever had there. I decided to concentrate on two-girl sessions, and it really paid off. There was a definite synergy involved with every session, as if the ladies were feeding off each other (sometimes, literally) and competing to see who could show me the best time. I enjoyed two sessions with Vanessa and Naomi, one with Pamela and Naomi, one with Pamela and Vanessa, one with Pamela and Andrea (smoking hot), and another with Andrea and Vanessa. Vanessa was the only lady I’d been with before (4 or 5 times), and I was absolutely stunned by the improvement in her energy, attitude and demeanor. I mean enthusiastic DFK and BBBJs and everything else, other than a reluctance to be photographed below the face. Pamela was absolutely outstanding – an incredible combination of hype (e.g., all the praise and acclaim on this board) AND substance. I mean, she REALLY delivered. What a great personality, accompanied by limitless energy and enthusiasm, and she’s a very attractive, shapely lady to boot. I’ll never forget taking photos of Naomi while Pamela was demonstrating her incredible oral skills. Ditto for Naomi. I thought she was an absolute doll. She went out of her way to treat me right, and she definitely has a sense of humor, enjoying playing the tease from time to time and hurling friendly little insults here and there.
While these ladies were truly magnificent, the ZB highpoint for me was getting down with Andrea, the newby with the super model looks and a super personality. Besides the two doubles with Andrea, I also hooked up with her for two one-on-one sessions, and they were fabulous. I feel EXTREMELY lucky I was able to spend a total of 4 hours with her before the inevitable word gets out. See my upcoming posts in the photo section for an idea of what I’m talking about. BTW, She used three different names while I was in town: Andrea, Andria, and Adrianna!
In sum, 4 magnificent ladies. I tipped them 10,000 colones apiece for every session, for absolutely exceptional service.

SPORTSMENS
I’ve stayed there every trip, and I still love the place. There seemed to be more available women this trip than any time in the past. I hooked up with Andrea on three separate occasions (NOT the ZB Andrea), a blond hottie with a smoking body (petite, lovely breasts) who speaks pretty good English and is obviously intelligent. She first quoted me $100, and we settled on $80. Other than CBJs, she was pretty fabulous (I guess ZB got me spoiled in this regard). I also hooked up a couple of times with Wanda, 26, a lovely, intelligent lady who looks a little better with her clothes on, but who is sexy and totally worthwhile nonetheless. I also sessioned a couple of times with Marta, a very slender, hot blond familiar to many CRT members. In truth, I enjoyed her company but was not overly impressed. She seemed to be in a slight hurry both times after spending what seemed like an eternity getting ready in the bathroom behind a closed door. Her performance was somewhat mechanical, and her CBJs were uninspiring. Oh well, a cute girl with a lovely behind and a nice smile, rating a C+ in my book. She asked for $100 as well, settling for $80. While I normally shoot for $60 short-time sessions, I really don’t mind paying $80, figuring that includes tip and potential taxi fare!

HOLD’EM AT THE CLARION
As stated, the weekly Sunday Hold’em tourney has moved from the SL to the Clarion, with Bktuna still supervising. They also have a nice daily no-limit game with $1 and $2 blinds. I played 5 sessions there my last week in town and encountered a mostly full table every time, yet there was always one open seat, and I never had to wait. I found the dealers to be professional and the place well-managed. I once played a lot of limit poker in Nevada, yet this was my first exposure to no-limit action, and I really enjoyed myself.
Yet another reason to return!

Your comments are valid. My gal lives with her Mom, her father died 5 years ago. I've been to her home (lower class by US standards, middle by L.A. standards, IMO). She dresses nice. I don't know that she was aware of what I spent at Lipstick.

We went back twice simply because we had a good time. On the last time we tried Josephines first (**BAD** choice) then Atlantis (also a poor choice) before falling back to Lipstick. I simply didn't know where else to go. She wasn't keen on El Pueblo - too many fights & drugs she said. And the times before I had been there it seemed to be a much younger, louder crowd.

Granted, I've only got a week under my belt with her. If the Requests of dollares comes through I'll be surprised but I'll own up to it. I'll take your list and try it in two weeks. BTW - which are close to the airport (we'll be at the Marriott on points)?

Thanks.

I like it there on Mondays myself.

If you're out by the airport and you want to try another stripclub you should check out D'Pelufos. They have another club in San Pedro that is very good but I don't know of anyone that has been to the one in Alajuela. If you go to that one, be sure to give us a report. You also can find some nice mature more upscale nightclubs or discos or whatever you want to call them (by which I don't mean stripclubs) in the Escazu area, but to be honest I can't really tell you anything about them.

Your GF probably has El Pueblo pegged pretty good. You might have noticed, I sort of similarly qualified my comments about that place and Calle Amargura in my earlier post. You get a lot of late teens early 20's kids at El P w/under 18 kids hanging and parading outside (and I'm sure often sneaking into the clubs, so be careful). and it can definitely get rowdy. Calle Amargura in San Pedro near UCR is more college-age (ie also young) and has also had problems but police have cracked way down on a lot of that. For a more mature and civilized night spot, I really like the Jazz Cafe just a couple of blocks past Calle Amargura. No dancing there but some really good music. El Cuartel, back towards downtown, gets a little more mature crowd of twenty and thirty somethings in a rambunctious meat market atmosphere (but no violence). And for serious salsa dancing try Salsa 54. Club Vertigo is also young but tightly managed with the best sound and light system in SJ and techno music that personally I can't take for any great length of time.

As for your stripclub choices, I don't think any of them are that great but you could have gone to far worse ones. You might want to try the Pantera Rosa on the south end of town the next time you go out or if its a sunday night go to D'Pelufos in San Pedro for their special floor show.

I arrived at the Blue Marlin about 3 PM and found it hopping, regardless of the fact that the taxista warned me it would be dead.

The inital stroll proved that this remains a target rich environment. If you can't find someone you like here, you're just not a red-blooded American male.

The girl who caught my eye was engaged in conversation with an older fellow, and it looked like they were about go off together. Instead, their conversation ended and I was able to call her over.

Leilany was pleasant and sweet, and looked younger than the 25 years she claimed. I asked her why her negotiations with the other fellow broke down. She told me he was a "mentiroso" (liar) and said he wouldn't pay her "cien" ($100).

So I used that opening to ask her how much she had made so far today (although it was still early) and the answer was zero.

I asked her how much she made last night, and the answer was zero.

Hmmm, sometimes some colones are better than no colones. She told me she didn't understand.

"Instead of sitting her your entire shift without earning anything, wouldn't it make sense to accept my price and know that you already have earned some money for the day? Wouldn't that feel good while you are working the rest of the night?

For example, I told her that I only pay 20,000 colones. Or maybe 25,000 for a girl who is really special. One girl is going to earn that that this afternoon. Maybe it is you, maybe it is another chica.

I think you are really special, so for you, I will pay 25,000. Okay?

"Okay." She didn't hesitate to agree.

Many chicas can't absorb an economics lesson, but thankfully Leilany did.

So when someone reports that none of the girls at Blue Marlin will budge off cien, take it for what it is. It's just bullshit.

True, there are some who won't. And if you just shoot a lowball offer without preparing her for it, you stand a good chance of rejection.

But use a little psychology on the girls and you are bound to find some hottie who will come back with you for a lot less than cien.

We had a great two hour session with mutual massages, DFK, the Pocket Rocket, and 69, numerous positions, etc.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leilany, who you will find at the Blue Marlin most days from 3-11.

Having had a great experience with Leilany in the afternoon, tonight I decided to go for some eye candy. I wanted to take someone home from the top of the pyramid at the Blue Marlin.

By 8 PM the place was packed with no shortage of 9s and 10s.

I already knew that I was jonesing for one with extremely long, jet black hair, when Andrea happened by. I watched her for a while and could see that she thought pretty highly of herself.

Nonetheless, I made my acquaintance, exchanged some small talk, and eventually got down to business. I balked at her asking price of "cien," but she would not come down. I wished her the best of luck and we parted ways.

Several hours later, and feeling the urge to act, I ran across Andrea again.

"Pienso" I said.

"Piensa?" she asked.

"Nos vamos" I explained.

"Que bueno" she replied, pleased I had agreed to her terms.

Andrea is a bit of a prima donna, and deservedly so, but she is a nice girl and I found it easy enough to break down her initial distance. While there is no doubt that she has a pro's attitude, she is not hardened, and proved to be pleasant and fun to be with.

She gave good service and is someone I will definite can repeat with.

Andrea is my idea of a Latin Barbie doll, with her killer abs and long beautiful hair. She's not really photogenic, and I submit that she is much better looking in person than these photos reveal. No way do they properly capture her flirtateous eyes.

You can find additional pics of Andrea posted in the photo thread:

i wandered around today checking out some old haunts. unfortunately, they came up lacking in what i was looking for.

first stop was at zona blue. since they changed the set up a couple years ago it has lost its appeal to me. the bar area is so small, with the girls sitting along the wall and the guys having five seats at the bar or being forced to stand. it feels ike a high school dance with the girls and guys across the room from each other. what a ridiculous setup.

the manager should instruct the girls not to all sit next to each other. leave some seats open for the customers. maybe a few should hang out upstairs, giving the men a reason to walk around a bit.

but the biggest problem is that the chicas here just aren't attractive. maybe three looked doable. i have no idea how the rest ever gain any business.

next stop was new fantasy. again, the whole setup is not conducive to finding someone interesting, at least for me. one looks through a smoke-glassed window to peer into a room full of chicas sitting down. you can't see them very well through the window, and certainly can't make out much about there bodies, especially their asses.

moreover, if one cares at all about a chica's personality or whether or not she might be friendly, it is impossible to gain that information through a window. it is just point and click, with less visual clarity than trying to pick out a partner from website or an ad in the back of a tabloid. no thanks.

besides they looked like a generic collection of chicas, as none of them stood out as having any special appeal.

finally, it was time to stop by sportsman's lodge. there were only two chicas when i went in for dinner, but maybe 6-8 others came in while i was there. i found two attractive, but didn't bother approaching them.

again, i have never found this to be a particularly target-rich environment. but the food and service were good, and i love that they serve an american breakfast all day long.

okay, i had made a reasonable effort to break out of my routine, and nothing had caught my fancy. in good conscious i could now return to the blue marlin to pick out my treat for the night.

You're dead right about New Fantasy man. The set-up is not conducive to conducting business, and when I went there I didn't see any pretty girls. And the set-up at ZB isn't very comfortable, and too many of the girls are sitting on their asses leaving little or no room for clients to sit. I only saw two doable girls when I was there. Pamela and Rachel (no longer there I understand), and I did them both. Now there's that "Andrea" there. So maybe the count still stands at two. It all depends on one's tastes of course.

Dodger Bulldog

07-07-07, 18:52

the talent level wasn't quite as high at the blue marlin on this friday night as it had been the night before. but there was certainly no shortage of hot chicas.

two of the hottest asked me for $150, and wouldn't budge. ridiculous!

one was from colombia and another from panama. interestingly enough, i remember the girl from panama from 1 1/2 years ago. at the time she would not drop her price from $100, so i let her walk. i always kind of regretted not doing her. we will see if i regret letting her go at $150 today.

eventually, i took notice of stacy, who probably has the narrowest waist i have ever seen, at least on a girl who stands 5/6. i am wondering if it is somewhere between 20-22 inches around. at only 48 kilos she is a tiny little thing, but very athletic and muscular.

it turns out that stacy is a full-time dance instructor, and she says she only works at the blue marlin once or twice a month when she needs some extra cash.

this girl was crazy fun! great personality, great sense of humor, we laughed our asses off at the bar before doing the same once she came home with me.

since stacy is a dancer, i put on some shakira and asked her to belly dance. she did not disappoint. she has such a fibrous, toned, supple body that it was a quite thrill watching her ab muscles undulate to the rhythm of the music.

stacy was totally gfe. she was into kissing, touching, foreplay. she said that no man had ever stuck their tongue up her ass before and she was amazed at how good it felt. i told her that shows her that she needs to open her mind up to trying anal, as i think she would love it.

this girl certainly did love the pocket rocket, and said it made her cum three times. she begged me to let her keep it, which is par for the course.

once stacy had achieved, she turned her attention to me. there is no better feeling than the anticipation one has after knowing your girl has just had several orgasms and feels the need to return the favor.

she gave a great bbj, one of the best i have ever had, followed by slow, deep, sensual sex in multiple positions, with absolutely no time constraints. my god, the view of her long torso and narrow waist was incredible when we were in the doggie position. stacy was a fantastic lover!

afterwards we talked about our families and our lives and our loves. she was open book and a fascinating person.

to give you a taste of the discussion, she pointed to her crotch in the nude photo and asked me "why do they call this a camel toe?" i'll let you just imagine how much fun we had as i explained that one to her...

when i felt a bit recuperated, i complimented stacy on her bbj skills, telling her that she is one of the best i've ever had. she actually seemed honored when i requested that she blow me again, and she did not hesitate to make me a happy boy.

after spending most of the night, about 5 am stacy told me that she had to get ready to be at work by seven as they were practicing for a dance contest that is going to be on tv in a few weeks. she gave me one more fabulous killer blow job for the road.

in all this time, we had never discussed price. it was up to me to decide what to pay her.

stacy had spent about 6 hours with me, made me cum three times, and was an absolute delight to be with. i had more belly laughs in my short time with her than i had in the past month combined.

call me a pushover, but i decided stacy was easily worth "cien." so i peeled off 50,000 colones, and a couple thousand more for taxi fare, and told her that i would be calling her again before i leave san jose.

what a sweetheart!

I have to agree with you somewhat about the ZB, but I dare you to say that on the CRT board. The way they talk about it, you'd think ZB was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've never understood what the big fuss was about. Sure they've had some pretty good girls, but you can't really fairly compare their chica quality to other MP's charging half as much and even then you'll still find some real hot chicas at other MP's too. And sure if you have a CRT card you get a great discount over their regular rate, but their regular rate is at least 5-6K colones higher than even the next most expensive MP's, so that discounted price is not that much different than anyplace else. In fact, I can't imagine why anyone would go there and pay the full rate. Add to that the fact that many of the best ZB chicas have moved on and the remaining ones, particularly their top ones, have been spoiled by all their starstruck CRT fans and their excessive tipping and ZB is not the deal it was if it ever was.

That said I can't agree about the small bar they've added. Whatever its shortcomings it offers more opportunity for mingling with the chicas than any of the other places. Have you been to IDEM? Talk about highschool dance, the chicas there definitely segregate themselves by lining up along the side wall. And you already mentioned the ridiculous smoky glass window at NF. Actually, at any of these places the amount of interaction before you make your selection is largely left up to the monger. Its not like the BM where half a dozen chicas will have walked up to you and grabbed your balls within minutes of walking in. As for NF, I have a simple solution to the stupid window. Don't use it. Don't be shy, just walk around the wall and take a good look and even step up to a girl and ask her a few questions. If you don't want to ask her a few questios with all the other chicas listening ask her for a tour of the facilities and then ask her your questions while you walk down the hall. If you don't like the answers, say "gracias, but I'd like to try someone else" and walk back with her and pick someone else or say you've changed your mind and say adios

Prolijo, a couple of years ago, the quality of the chicas at Zona Blue was head and shoulders above all the other MPs. IMHO, most of the ladies there at the time were better than all but the very hottest Blue Marlin chicas. I've not been to CR since then, so I cannot speak for now - other than to acknowledge that all of my favorites there have all apparently left the place, and since the place has also become a very expensive hotel, it seems like it's not nearly as good a deal, unless you are capable of going for 4-6 pops in a day.

Mr Jetsetter

07-08-07, 07:28

There is no question that Zona Blue can be decidedly "hit or miss." Yes, this last trip I indeed had a fabulous time there, but I found the pickings to be somewhat lame my two previous trips and didn't session there much. I fully realize it is somewhat expensive compared to MPs that cater more to ticos, and I confess I need to do a better job next trip of exploring these venues. I greatly admire the efforts of vets like Brandon and Prolijo who make the effort to survey the entire SJ scene and likely have great experiences for a lot less money.

Nonetheless, Zona Blue's proximity to the Sportsmens Lodge and the gulch itself is a definite plus for this lazy, over-worked vacationer, and I enjoy smoking a good cigar and hanging there from time to time. IMHO, it is a nice place for multi-girl sessions, as long as the big room with the king-sized bed is available and enthusiastically-delivered BBBJs are standard. Believe me, I don't normally overtip, but the service I received this last trip was truly awe-inspiring, and I rewarded them accordingly. These ladies receive 10,000 colones per hour session, and I was delighted to double their income.

As far as staying in one of their two-bedroom suites, I can understand the logic if you have a wingman sharing expenses and have a desire to get down with five women at a time for the grand price of $100. To each his own...

Our original plan was to spend the night at Bar Idem and then Pantera Rosa.

My friend wanted to stop by the Blue Marlin to kill some time until the others were busy. You should see the red marks on my arm from where he had to twist the hell out of it!

You all know what can happen to the best laid plans of mice and men. I guess we'll have to hit Bar Idem come Monday.

It seemed like every chica I opened up a conversation with tonight was a Colombiana. Maybe I find myself attracted to them.

When I was here in '05 I had some great sessions with some very sweet Colombianas, but times seem to have changed.

These girls were all land sharks. There was no effort whatsoever to provide "buen compania." It was directly to the money, all about "cien," and an unwillingness to even discuss the scope of their services.

"It is just work for me," I heard more than once. As if they had no concern whatsoever whether they do their job well or end up with a satisfied client.

I am sure that not all the Colombianas here are so mercenary, but after being bitten several times I decided to pull out a crucifix and vial of holy water each time I ran across one.

I did find a cute Tica with a gentle spirit so I sat down to join her. Eventually our negotiations stalled when I would not go above 30,000 and she would not take less than 35,000, so I let her walk.

As she did, I got a good look at her little ass for the first time, and decided that I had probably made a mistake letting her go.

Besides, getting her down to 35,000 on a Saturday night at 10 PM when the place was packed with hombres could have been considered a moral victory. Why did I quibble over a lousy 5000 colones?

Oh well, there are lots of chicas in the sea.

But it seemed like with each one something didn't look or feel quite right. I just wasn't getting the vibe that I needed to convince me to pull the trigger.

It was getting late, I was growing horny, and I spotted Andrea, who I had already decided I would do again sometime this trip. Not only was she easily the hottest one in the place in my opinion, but I already knew that she is one who would deliver the goods.

It suddenly occurred to me: Why wait until next week?

When we parted the other night, I had asked that she give me a reference to her hot girlfriends in order to provide an opening to my negotiations. So now as I walked up to greet her, she remembered the script and started singing my praises to a decent looking chica who was standing nearby.

I had to sort of interrupt her to let her know that, ummm, thank you for your efforts, but it is you who I want tonight, Andrea. She looked a little puzzled, reminding me that I told her I was going to do a different chica every day.

That's okay, Andrea. Tonight I want you. I want you again.

So we were off.

The second time can be a charm. She was much more relaxed. She was willing to spend more time, and feeling unrushed, I gave her the full Dodger experience, including an oiled body massage, the "besos negros," and a session with the Pocket Rocket, all as preliminaries to the main event.

Afterwards we got into a discussion about her goals in life, as it was clear to me that she knows exactly what she is doing as she works a man. It is cool to find an intelligent chica with good business sense (as opposed to an all-business attitude).

Andrea knows how to catch a man quickly, treat him well, satisfy him totally, leave him happy, add water and repeat. It is not hard to imagine that she makes far, far more dinero than most chicas at the Bue Marlin. The others there should follow her around and strive to copy her every move.

Again, I don't think these pics do her any justice. I guess she just isn't photogenic, as Andrea is much prettier and hotter in real life.

I think she kept trying to pose for a serious "portrait." When I suggested the Dodger photo she relaxed and had fun with it, so it comes the closest to capturing her true spirit.

So when someone reports that none of the girls at Blue Marlin will budge off cien, take it for what it is. It's just bullshit.I agree with you. I do not pay cien for anyone. When the girl quotes "cien, " I smile and very respectfully say, in Spanish, that Solamente los gringos paga cien. That is, only the gringos pay cien.

in many latin countries sunday is not the best day to be a monger.

so i kneeled down, closed my eyes, clasped my hands, and said my prayers.

"dear lord, please allow me to find a lovely young chica with the ass of an angel and the mind of a devil."

i must be living right, because my prayers were answered tonight.

it only took one quick trip around the del rey to i spot my target hanging out by the restrooms. i grabbed a stool in the bar and gave her a couple good, long looks.

soon enough she was standing right next to me fiddling with her purse. seemingly just minding her own business.

ahem, i cleared my throat. then i boldly declared, "hola. buenas noches."

angelina was a spirited little thing. as we made small talk i could see that she was another one all full of [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) and vinegar. she was going to be lots of fun.

i got us drinks and took her over to introduce her to my buddy. wishing to be helpful, angelina offered to find him a chica, and proceeded to bring over a columbiana who i had done when i was here during christmas '04.

i remembered her, of course, but i was surprised that she remembered me after all the men she has had. it made my friend a little uncomfortable, so angelina and i separated and went to our own table.

no need to tarry, we struck the deal and headed over to my place.

everything went quite well. this was an experienced chica, to the point that when i pulled out the pocket rocket she asked me to put it on the low speed.

unfortunately, i buy the cheap imitation brand which only has one speed, so she was forced to deal with it.

angelina managed to cope just fine, and afterwards said that it had been too long since she had cum like that.

by now i've learned that whichever position a chica suggests as her favorite is the one she is best at. so after an extended session of 69, i was happy to stand next to the bed and take her doggie style, just as she wished.

following her shower i asked if i could take some more photos. "desnuda?" she asked.

si, por favor.

"okay, claro." but she wanted some time to go do her hair and makeup first. so you will note that she looks a little more polished in those.

i thought she had a cute jacket and it would be a nice touch for her to wear it in the photos.

when i asked her to write down her digits i was pleased that she also wrote her real name, ana lucia. she told me to call her lucia from now on.

she is a lovely girl, inside and out.

p.s. you can find a few more pics of her on the photo thread:

]You lucky dog. What a Chica! I am drooling.

If I go to CR how would I locate this beauty and how much will she cost?

Would she go with an athletic but old guy (I am 67, but in great shape)?

After reading and more importantly "looking" at your posts, I can clearly see a few things. One, San Jose is still a relitively boring place aside from mongering as was evident by the length and detail of your daily reports. Two, By the quantity and quality or all your pictures, you have made the most of my little trick which I shared with you in Guatemala.
Amazing reports, I thank you. It will help me get through a busy summer.

Sorry guys.

No more reports or photos until after I leave CR. Maybe not then.

I was with a chica I was trying to pull out of the Blue Marlin when a girl came up and asked why I posted her photos on the internet.

I had a second one ask me if I was going to put HER photos on the internet. Word spreads.

I wonder who showed this board to a chica, what the hell are you thinking? Is it going to help you get better sex? Lower rates?

Does it make you feel like a big man?

I tried to report useful information and photos that are fun for all to see.

Go ahead and ruin it for everyone.

And put me at risk. Who knows if she has some jealous boyfriend who might want to take matters into his own hands.

It is hard to fathom why anyone would do such a thing.

Its called the Chica/Tica network. They watch the boards, keep tabs on us and what we say and do. It has been going on for a while. You got cought, your not the first or the last to post photos and get caught.
Believe me every girl you pull out goes back to the bar and fills them in on you.
So don't feel to bad, this stuff happens. Keep on posting if you like.

I agree about the network to the extent they talk. I doubt they can read English much less log in and view pictures. Of ten del ray girls I talked to none had email; none even know how to set up an account. Most can barely read or write.

More than likely one of our own is to blame. We got the same problem on the stateside board from time to time. Damn shame.

Well on to the good stuff, I got in late Sat nite at 2a and dropped my bag and caught a cab. He took me around and I got kind of re familairized with the area. I asked about Molino Rojo and we went by and he said it was a dangerous place etc. so off we go to another place Kamur then Pink Panther.

Then he showed me some pretty hot SW action south of av central. But I wasn't interested in that because I had fogot about the ST hotel option. Plus the SW action is very unstable in the service dept. because these girls do some serious drugs. But I thought the guy was pretty decent so I got his info. He knows all the good spots and I suppose he would have hooked me up had I asked. ALEX 8858727.

I knew I really wanted to go to M.R. because of what I read. But I had him run me over to VIPS Tabernas / Jet Set and drop me. He said the action was good there and safer. Action there is 8.5k / 7k. I scoped those two and about a half hour and didn't really see anthing tht good so I got a cab back to M.R.

This place is the shit and I got there at prime time. No problems with rowdy ticos in fact nobody bothered me. 2k door fee gets you two drink tickets I think it was. Dancer every 15 min or so would do a set of 3 or so dances.

No lap dance action but the guys were pretty frisky with the girls.

So after a while I picked out Kim an early 20's tica. Small petite bod brown hair in pony tails had the school girl short skirt with tall black boots and long heels.

8.5k gets you to a backroom with the girl of your choosing there so we got down to business; ok cbj then on to mish. I pounded her hard and since I just had my vitiman C she was making all kinds of noise I'm sure the guys in the street heard. She was into it and gave be something to drill. Flipped her over and finished up. Felt real good to get a nut and just didn't move fast enough to spray her ass. Looks 8-9 service 7-8 but I felt like 10 + afterwards.

So this other older one has been talking to me the entire time and she is like a madam and telling me this was the off weekend and next weekend would be better since everybody gets paid ther would be more action.

I did see another one smok'in hot bod blond big tits small frame only there Fri & Sat. I had already shot my wad and knew I needed to wait a few hours.
You guys help me on the spelling. Phonetically is JAHIDA she got an attitude when I couldn't write the name. But the important part is I do have a #. 3817531 so give her a ring and tell her your gringo friend said to call.

I left about 4a because I didn't want to get caught up in the mess a bar usually has a closing time with all the drunks & putting them out. Plus I wanted to be able to get a taxi out.

The cabbie did introduce me to the doorman when he dropped me off so the guy got me a cab quick when I left.

It's not a place to loiter around esp. late at night.

So off I wen to del ray just to look mind you. Big mistake.

Got there about 4:30a or so and hooked up with Danella. Oldest girl in the bar. So I got her for $30 USD plus the room at Asia (4k) as it was getting light. Well she gave me a half ass blow job and really pushed me back when I was on top of her. She said I was going to rip the condom yadayada. That C was kickin in.

I got off her got dressed and left her naked with the door to the room wide open so everybody could see what a thief looks like. Seems to me somebody posted a pic of her once. Ok looking clean, med body black straight hair nice talker, from Alajuela. Probably early to mid 40s. Gets my Avoid at all costs rating. Headed back to the hotel for some sleep. Been up 24+hrs.

Moved to Morazan. Bought a paper went to read it while eating breakfast. Local guy dies in ER. Stabbed Sat 4a during robbery. Died at 7a.

Well don't think bad shit don't happen. Be safe out there.

Later in the day I picked up damnit forgot her name around 7:30p. She hit me up and offered the standard fare with option to cum on her tits. I couldn't resist so we went to my room at the cost of $70 total. My price point of $50 had been busted already.

27, long brown hair with highlights and nice brown complexion. Med build and D size tits. No sag, tight body. No flab. Good attitude.

I needed to do my thing and get to bed early cause I had to get up early Mon. So it was a good compromise to get what I wanted at a good price on Sun without alot of grief.

Went to dinner with a fellow monger then to del rey for a farewell drink since he was leaving CR. This time I don't know why but I managed to pick up the biggest girl in the bar about 11:30p. Nice personality though really. $30 USD. I really though she was nice but she was big compared to the other girls.

Well this girl has I guess JJJ tits and my dick comletely disappeared doing the Russian thing which was alot of fun. She had not had any kids either. No marks or waves or dimples she was just a plus size. Went a round then we took a nap. Round two and send her home about 3a. She would have stayed all night. She is young about 21 or 22. She usually wears jean jacket and skirt.

Mon and Tues were much better than Sun. So many places closed on Sun, just not as many options. But back to HDR I went, because I was limited on time and only had an hour or so to play both days.

At HDR picked up an Andrea, from Alajuela. Nice small tica early 20s. Probably 120# 5' or so. Nice bod. Quiet personality. Good cbj and fuck. Forgot to get her # she is well worth the $50 I gave her.

Tues went to HDR again ait was packed with girls. Buyers market :). Found a real hard core pro. She was into it and we had a real good time. She can work that ass and she made sure I got a nut, as we were inturrupted by the maid banging on the door. She is typical brown hair and eyes tica with a big mouth. Talks loud. This is not the girl to spend any ammount of time with outside in the street. On the plus side she has an apt in Jaco and alternates between Jaco and HDR in SJO. $50 for her time; you might get it for less; give her a call and see what you can work out. 87904444 Angela.

Finally on Tues a fine looking 21 year old girl sat down for while as I was having my last drink in HDR. She could be a model for cover girl. White skin beautiful eyes at least a ten. Dressed conservatively. Not overly built, had a good figure. I'm betting no kids. I wish I could have test drove that. She is hot, but very nice personality, a rarity at HDR. I'm betting a total GFE. From Cuba. Nancy 3380139. Somebody do the deed and tell me what I missed out on.

More than likely one of our own is to blame. We got the same problem on the stateside board from time to time. Damn shame. If you run across a chica who doesn't lose her cell phone at least couple times a month you know you've found yourself a winner.

I have enough solid info to know that it was an American monger trying to impress a chica who showed this board to her.

Oh well, I'm back in the States. That is a story in itself. Over the weekend I'll try to post a few reports and maybe even a photo or two that you guys might like.

Its called the Chica/Tica network. Believe me every girl you pull out goes back to the bar and fills them in on you.Of course you are right about this, Armorer.

I owe the chica network credit for whatever measure of success I have managed to have from one session to the next. I think it is critical to understand what makes them click.

I wrote a report a couple years back on how to play their own game with them:

http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=335029&postcount=51

I had one chica jump up and down and come hug me when she saw me again this week. She reminded me how I had given her Christmas presents to take to her kids two and 1/2 years ago, and she went around telling the other chicas how I had been her "Santa."

She is hot, but very nice personality, a rarity at HDR.I've got to disagree with you violently on this one, Z. The Del Rey is the most romantic spot on the face of the earth and these chicas are the most wonderful girls I've ever had the privilege to meet!

And I am totally sincere when I say that.

For one thing, these girls develop a better understanding of men in a shorter period of time than all the women in the States put together.

After all, learning how to please us is the life's work for these chicas. The ones who refuse to do so, or aren't sharp enough to learn, or just come here thinking that they can rip us all off, usually wash out sooner or later.

There are exceptions of course, but mostly it is the quality providers who survive in this swamp.

If I may quote our friend Ford on the matter:

Dodger Bulldog, I agree, if you get to know these girls and get them to open up it is often surprising how much better the experience can be. My Spanish is quite strong so I very much enjoy starting off the evening back in my room with a few drinks and some engaging conversation. Ask these girls about their sueños (dreams) metas (goals) and pensamientos (thoughts) about their life and it is amazing how excited they get that someone actually gives a sh** what they have to say and what's on their mind. The "hobby" is so much more fun when it includes more than just getting "horizontal!" I love to talk to with the chicas for hours, picking their brains, getting their views on the world, and learning their life stories. I dare you to compare any of them, even the worst of them, to most of the arrogant b*****s back in the States.

I love these chicas with all my heart.

After reading and more importantly "looking" at your posts, I can clearly see a few things.

Two, By the quantity and quality or all your pictures, you have made the most of my little trick which I shared with you in Guatemala.Fantasy, I have been meaning to thank you profusely!

Most of the chica's respond in a way that reminds me of that old Xerox commercial. The one with the little old monk whose job was to make copies the Bible by hand, when he suddenly discovered that the copy machine had been invented:

"It's a miracle!"

Since you are the man who taught me, I will leave it to you if you wish to share your technique with the others.

i realize my san jose experiences are limited and totally anecdotal, but of the half-dozen or so ladies i've asked for email addresses, every one of them had one and supplied it to me. i've witnessed literally dozens of ladies surf the net with lightning speed at the sportsmens lodge. i also doubt zepplin's assertion that "most can barely read or write." perhaps this might be true of the dr colombianas (i don't know, as i rarely frequent the dr), but costa rica has a 90% literacy rate, and i have yet to encounter a tica who couldn't read or write. inherent in these kinds of assertions is the assumption that these p4p ladies are essentially ignorant, even stupid. i beg to differ...

Good discussion.

DB: I felt the same way about HDR girls and that's why I made a return trip (#4). But the girls I spoke to this trip were quick to cut to the chase and move on within five min if you're not talk'in money. If you entertain their 80-100 fees they will love you to death.

I guess I wasn't up to paying what is about is a week's wages there for an hour or two of fun. That's my experience.

Damn shame cause trip one and two were off the charts. In 2004 I had no problem getting girls out at 40. And for more than an hour. Now It's 50 and thats only some. It wasn't like that before. Either way I'm glad to hear your's was a better experience. Thanks for the info you posted.

The price was right for a ticket, so I jumped on it, but I know I need to move on to BA or Co. But CR is so close and still fun...

I could have prefaced with "that was my experience this trip" and what I say may not truly be reality.

Then again anybody's report is really their experience for that point and time and the golden rule does apply (ymmv).

I always try a little small talk to see where things go, but if the girl moves on because the money is not there before I can even offer a drink, etc. so be it. I call them like I see them.

Further, the girls now want to be paid up front which is something I never did before with HDR take out. This time we just negociated something in the room but that kind of spoils the moment and takes a min or two to get back in the groove so to speak.

As with M.R. it was business as usual and if I had more time I would have went to some other tico locales too.

It saddens me to share a less than a gleaming HDR chica report because I went there to have just such an experience as I had in the past, but I'm not gonna sugar coat what happened or try to fall in line and say how great it was when in my opinion it has gone downhill. Still good but not what it used to be either.

The going rate is way too high and paying up front is the last straw.

There is still alot beyond HDR to be had. I just didn't have as much time on Mon & Tues as I would have wanted to hit the other places. I had other stuff to do which made the trip better in a different way than the last.

NF ZB and Idem are all now much better options as their prices are still less than or about $40 hr. On previous trips I just never bothered because I always did at least as good from HDR for the same money or just a bit more.

If I do run across you or Ford I'd buy you a beer as you guys are the shazizle on L.A. info. Hats off to ya.

Actually about 12 to 15 places open on Sunday but hours shorter. Just a quick list of a few that come to mind:
Del Rey and Key Largo of course
Zona Blue
New Fantasy
The Dungeon
Europa 2000
Jet Set
Taberna VIPs
Margaritas last time I was there
Place next to Margaritas but forget name
Arcadas
Molino Rojo
Calle 6 brothels for brave and adventous but recommend daytime

Just a quick Sunday list for someone wheo wants to esacape the gulch.rbc100

Just because it's open doen't mean there's anything worthwhile. The tico joints are usually hit and miss anyway, more miss than hit on a Sunday. The others are minimally staffed as well. Not much daytime action. Been there done that.

Later Sun evening action does pick up. Less ticos out but less girls too.

HDR fills up pretty good.

Sunday is the day to be hooked up with a chica and go out of town. Mountains, beach etc. But I got in real late Sat. so that's my excuse for not following my own advice.

The very best thing to do on Sun is have it as a travel day.

I took my lunch to the plaza next to Gran Hotel and ate there. Nice scenery but did not get lucky.

I have always spoken highly of Pantera Rosa in the past as it was full of lovely young spinners at reasonable prices. They only negative was that the rooms had benches instead of beds and I ended up screwing on the floor.

However, the talent level has changed. I only saw one girl this week who was really hot, and she was intent on tryng to steal away some Tico who looked like Andre Agassi from the only other girl in the place who was a little bit hot.

Besides the lack of talent, the girls weren't especially friendly and did not mix much with the customers. In the meantime the stage for the strippers was empty more than half of the time.

The price used to be 14,000 colones for full service, but now I was told that it was US$80 for an hour. I said them I knew that was a gringo price and I would only pay the same as the Ticos, but I never could get a different quote from them.

It was a complete waste of time this trip.

I agree with Prolijo that Bar Idem has the high school sock hop feel with the men gathered around the bar and the chica sitting with their backs to the wall. However, the girls are easily approachable and readily respond to a nod or a smile.

The talent level here is far better than at Zona Blue, New Fantasy, or any place else I visited other than the Del Rey. I would guess that about 50% of the dozen or so chicas at Idem were easily doable.

I hit it off with Michell, (yes, she wrote it down that way), a 19 year old bleached blonde with a friendly smile and easy manner. She told me the cost here is 24,000 colones, of which the girls earn half.

She openly gave me her phone number and said that she would be happy come to my apartment for the same rate, which would allow her to keep it all for herself. Normally I would choose the second option, but my cell phone had been stolen so it was easier just to do her onsite.

Yes, I know I just made a sarcastic comment in another post about chicas losing their cell phones. Maybe I was a chica in a previous life, and came back reincarnated as a monger. That could explain why I like them so much.

You do pay up front here, but there is no risk of being ripped off. Originally Michell gave me 5000 change out of my 30,000. But when she saw that I had brought my own condoms, she went downstairs to get another 1000 change for me.

I thought that was a very responsible thing for her to do.

She seemed a bit inexperienced in bed, but was easily coachable and open to suggestions. Michell has the nice firm youthful tits as well as tightest pussy by far of any chica I was with on this trip to CR.

What's more, I just loved how she locked her ankles around my neck!

Michell is a very sweet and pleasant girl. I would not hesitate to repeat.

Sometimes I just enjoy doing a youngster like her.

After we came back downstairs I spotted an incredibly hot black-haired spinner who must have been ocupado when I first came in. I would love to have some time with this new girl but I didn't think that I could bounce back quite that quickly.

Which reminds one of the old rule that one needs to be patient and bide your time when you first enter a place. The odds are that the best ones are already busy in the back.

It only makes sense, right?

Yes, "Daiana" is how she spelled her name when she wrote it down. I know that some of these names come out looking pretty weird, but we don't need to get back to the discussion on literacy levels, do we?

Admittedly, Daiana goes a little against my usual type. Older and more voluptuous, but she is an old favorite from '05. Besides, a man can use a little variety.

It started when I saw a chica who looked pretty good from behind while sitting at a slot machine. I circled around to look at her face.

The minute I saw her eyes we instantly recognized each other and she ran over to give me hug.

I remember that Daina was full bore GFE and I didn't hesitate to do her again for old times sake. She has put on a little weight in two years, but I think her hair looks better this color than when it was blonde. Check out the last photo which is from '05, and decide for yourself.

More importantly, Daiana cracked the code on the Colombianas at the Del Rey for me. They all stand at the side of the bar in front of the hotel check in (across the aisle from the casino). We dubbed it "hottie corner."

They talk among themselves all night, refusing to make eye contact, and in general act as if they are better than anyone else in the place.

Being from Medellin herself, Daiana waltzed me over into their little clique to introduce me and tell them what a good man I am. The results of that little encounter will be detailed in my next report.

In my last report I mentioned how Daiana from Medellin introduced me to the other chicas from Colombia.

While she had accepted 70,000 from me, she begged me not to tell the others and warned me that they would just blow me off if I tried to pay them less than cien. Maybe it was b.s., but I am guessing that she knew what she is talking about.

Daiana told me that three Colombianas had been murdered in the past year when they went with men to apartments, so they are a scared bunch. She spent a lot of time telling them what a good man I am and explaining how my place had a double-locked gate and security guard at night, so that they would not be afraid to go with me.

After we chatted with the group a bit, she asked me which one I wanted. I picked Jenny, who I had spotted a few days ago but with whom I had never once been able to make eye contact.

Jenny looks quite elegant and comes across as very business like. She is a strong woman who likes to take charge of the situation, so we locked horns a couple times over the course of the next few hours.

I am not saying that she wasn't pleasant enough, and she is certainly intelligent and interesting to talk to. Among other things, she has a perfect mastery of English.

Jenny asked me what had prompted me to learn Spanish. I told her it was so I could speak with all of the chicas, not just the ones who knew English. She made me feel good by telling me that I was smarter than most of the other gringos who never even bother to give a shit about the girls.

I think that is how many of the chicas view us, guys. So if you make an effort to be different, it can't do anything but help you.

For example, when I asked which music she wanted to hear, she was surprised that I could put on some reggaeton for her. I'm sure that she wasn't expecting that from such an old gringo like me.

But if you want Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and Hector y Tito, that is exactly what you're going to get, baby. We aim to please.

She took a special interest in my iPod, asking me fifty questions about how it works, what it costs, and which one I would recommend for her to buy.

Now, when I promised her that I was going to give her an orgasm she kind of rolled her eyes and asked me how in the world I thought I was going to be able to do that.

I pulled out the Pocket Rocket and explained how it worked. She said okay, it sounded good to her, but that I would have to put a condom on it before she would let me use it on her.

I loved seeing her tough girl facade crumble once she started feeling it. It wasn't long before my prediction came true.

After she achieved her moment, she told me this was the only time a guy had focused on her first, instead of wanting her to go straight to doing him.

She also said that it was the first time she had ever cum in a session with a client. My guess is that there is a definite connection here.

Afterwards, she giggled a bit when she admitted that she actually came three times.

Maybe that is all just b.s. and she was just stroking my ego. If so, at least I did something that made her want to stroke it.

As we were about to trade positions in bed she went to take a shower first. Jenny commented that how thoughtful it was that I had a shower cap waiting so that she would not have to get her hair wet. Just one more little thing designed to please.

It had been clear to me from the beginning that this was going to be down and dirty mercenary sex, without a hint of GFE.

I had no unrealistic expectations, and I was good and ready for it.

I am confident that all those little things (along with that big "O" she had) combined to make a impact. I believe that when they were all added up, they encouraged Jenny to give me a little extra when my turn finally came. For one thing, we went way past the usual hour together, as it ran to more like two and 1/2 hours.

Jenny was unrushed with me, did everything skillfully, and looked even better with her clothes off than I had imagined she would.

Her ass looked absolutely perfect during doggie, and she agreed to fuck in every one of the half dozen postions that I proposed.

This was good sex with a gorgeous and sexy woman, nothing more, nothing less.

As we were winding down I realized that after a few hours together with Jenny I was not really longing for a whole lot more time with her.

She is very much a prima donna, and certainly is very high maintenance. She is also the only one who I was with this trip who refused to let me take any nude photos of her.

I am doubtful that I would have managed to get any pics of her at all if she hadn't seen Daiana passing around the photos I had taken of her amongst their Colombiana friends back at the Del Rey.

I fully expect that Jenny will make someone a great ex-wife someday.

Now, I don't mean to sound like I'm boasting as I talk about all the things that Jenny told me that she liked.

I am trying to share as many tips as I can that I have learned from my time bouncing around Latin America. These are the things that have helped me, and I hope that they will be useful for others.

It would be great if everyone can take advantage of them to gain better overall sessions for themselves.

I've learned many things, large and small, from guys like Noguera, Shtupp, Dickhead, Jak, Fantasy, Executive Talent, Eric 7, Christopherd, et.al. And Jackson, of course, who I credit for changing my entire life.

Every one of those guys will spot something in this report that I learned from him. Sharing is what makes this board great.

Here is the bottom line: I believe that the odds were real good that with someone like Jenny most guys will get one hour of mechanical and uneventful sex that would barely be memorable, albeit with a very hot girl.

It took all of the knowledge I have gained on how to melt a chica, along with good deal of effort on my part to soften her up, in order to turn what I expect would have been a very ordinary session at best into becoming a great sport fuck that stretched on for some time.

Would I recommend Jenny to you? That depends.

If you are looking for decent to good sex with an incredibly hot Colombiana who won't rip you off, and are willing to pay cien, then yes. Definitely.

If you are willing to really work it, and accept that YMMV, then you might be able to elicit a little more involvement from her, like I was able to do.

If GFE is your goal, or want to bargain for a lower cost, it would probably be best for you to look elsewhere. And I would guess that this advice applies for at least three fourths of the Colombianas who are currently working inside the Del Rey.

Jenny does like nice, though, doesn't she?

Dodger,
Fabulous reporting and fabulous pics. Seems as if Pantera Rosa is really going downhill, which is a damn shame. I've always gotten a thrill going to strip clubs where you could actually bang the ladies on site, something you obviously can't do here in the US. Much to my regret, I never sessioned there, but I had some great times at Kamur banging some of their hotties in their back bedrooms, but, alas, Kamur has headed south as well.
Great to hear that you were impressed with Bar Idem -- I'll definitely check it out again during my September trip. Didn't see much there during my two visits in June, but I didn't stay very long either time and didn't really give it a fair chance.
As stated in my recent trip report, I've never felt much of a desire to play the game at the Blue Marlin, although I've always felt it a great place for "people watching." I've had great luck at the Sportsmens, the MPs, and some private referrals from CRT members. Having said that, my June trip really opened my eyes to the inherent opportunities the Blue Marlin offers, and reports such as yours certainly reinforce this revelation. I will definitely enter the fray my next trip. Muchas gracias!

Hi everyone.

I am a newbie to this scene and as such can't offer an insightful report however given how much information I have gathered off this forum in the last day here is a report in the interest of "giving something back".

Before I arrived here a friend advised me that the Del Rey was a "must see" so Friday night being my first chance I ventured out in the hopes of finding somewhere to play some Texas Holdem Poker, and perhaps a little entertainment. Sadly the gambling at the DR was nothing like what I hoped for, though I did manage to blow $100 US in quick time on the roulette table after a run that included 2 0's in the space of 10 bets.

I ventured over to the Horseshoe to see if there was poker action there, but was informed that there is generally no holdem being played unless its between 4pm-9pm.

Back over to the Del Rey and the numerous drinks were starting to erode my self control. By this time it was about 1am and to be honest the very best on offer was a 7.5. If its more common to find the higher quality girls earlier in the night please let me know.

I noticed a girl by the bar and decided enough was enough (its been a rather lengthy "dry spell" for me so any final reluctance to pay for the entertainment was eroded by the incoming Jack Daniels tide). Her name I soon found out was Camilla, and she spoke enough english to get us by in conversation. The extent of my Spanish vocab is about 5 words, something I will be working hard to change ASAP. Anyhow we chat for a while, she tells me that I am "handsome" (just like any other potential client is no doubt) and that she loves the light colour of my eyes (blue/green). After some more chat and turning down her friends request for a 3some we head back to my hotel. Oh something I should point out - I tried to get some idea on price before going back - I was hoping $60 would be about right. Some research I had done indicated as much, but having not found this board at that time I didn't have the extensive reporting to go by so wasnt sure about the reliability of the information. Anyhow she basically found a way of not saying no, but not saying yes either, and I didnt force the issue.

We went outside and found a driver who was her friend. It was probably stupid of me to go with them instead of a cab, who knows who it could have been. We got back to the hotel and she requested $100. I think I objected once, but she seemed pretty firm on that number and I was damned if i was going all the way back to DR to find someone willing to budge. Lesson learned about settling on price before leaving! She also requested cab money to get back, which was about $20. I paid for that as well. I suspect some of you now have food and spit to wipe off your screen after screaming "sucker" at the monitor.

She then went into the bathroom for a while to get herself ready. After coming out and offering a little foreplay while we undressed it was into a covered BJ which probably only lasted for about 5 minutes. She then climbed up and started into cowgirl, before turning over and pulling me into mish. Here is where things start to come unstuck. I had a lot to drink, and while still able to "rise to attention" it appears she was expecting to only need to do about 15 minutes work, which was clearly not turning out to be the case. I will admit that while still quite in control and aware I wasn't at my most "sensitive" and it was most likely going to take a full hour (that i paid for) and a few personal favourites to be acted out to "milk" as she put it. Anyhow, I requested doggy for a while which she happily obliged, before I requested we go back to the bj which was more likely to get me off. Somewhere before this point she tried giving me a vigorous handjob while masterbating herself but that really wasnt going to be enough. She was not particularly enthusiastic about going back to bj but did so in the hope of pleasing the client. By this point we are about 30-35 minutes into proceedings and after about 5 minutes of BJ it would seem she basically gave up.

At this point I basically just told her to stop, as I could see she was taking offence to not getting me off and I really didnt know how much longer it would take. I told her to not worry about it and it really wasnt a reflection on how attractive I thought she was (that was certainly not the issue) and after that she got dressed and left. She also gave me her number hoping for an encounter when I was more sober, either for the fact that it was more business, or a chance to have it proved that it was "me, not her". Its not a number I will be calling, but I dont really have any hard feelings. She is a nice girl and attractive, but I am not really paying to have expectations placed on me and cumming in 35 minutes isn't something I should feel guilty for not doing, inebriation or no.

So thats about it. From what I have now read here I know that 1) I should be able to get a girl for cheaper than that, and 2) I may be more likely to have fun at Zona Blue or IDEM. From what I read the prices there are about $45 US, but I am wondering whether that includes the use of a room for the hour?

This is probably a bit lengthy so I will cut it off now, but do want to take this opportunity to say thanks for the reviews and pics posted by other members. I have found it to be a goldmine of information.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please Click Here (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?) for more information.

I recant all previous testimony. Stay away from the Hotel Del Rey and that demon Blue Marlin Lounge.

For my report on my final chica CR, I have only a sad tale to tell. One filled with of grief and woe.

I am such a stupid.

I ended up catching a bad case of one-itis. At my advanced age I should know better, as it can be very debilitating. Nonetheless, once I had hooked up with Maria I just couldn't get enough of her.

Over the next couple days she drained everything I had right out of me - my money, my semen, and all my common sense.

The first time she came home with me she was enamored with the regalos I had brought for all the chicas. She stuffed everything that was left into her purse - a half dozen bottles of nail polish, several tubes of body glitter, the eyeliners, the perfumes, the toothbrushes, even all of the coloring books.

She doesn't even have any niños. What the hell was she going to do with the coloring books?

"See? I take these so you have nothing left to give to the others. Now you can be only with me."

I went down for the count without so much as a whimper. My eyes were glazed over. I had kind of a hypnotized zombie look on my face, drooling and nodding, mumbling my consent.

Clearly, I had entered the greatest danger zone known under the Monger Security Advisory System.

Current Threat Level: Red - Under Attack!

I have never been with a woman who is 6" tall before. Do you still call a woman a "spinner" when she stares down at you from on high?

Plus, she has the razor-sharp hips and the abdominal cavity of my dreams. (See the fifth and sixth photos below)

Maria is pretty naive for a 22 year old, but very trusting and coachable and willing to do anything I asked of her. After I taught her the power of the Pocket Rocket she became insatiable. (See smile on face in the seventh photo)

It was a raining outside, so we spent the day having some indoor fun together.

I set up an email account and a MySpace page for her so that we can keep in touch.

She showed me photos of her parents, her little brother, her sister and herself when they were little girls. She even gave me a photo from one of her modeling jobs. (See the one where she is standing in front of the volcano)

We listened to music and played hangman in Spanish. We taught each other some new words. We had a staring contest, held several "thumb wars," and tickled each other silly.

We played hide and seek. I enjoyed hiding all of my favorite things up her ass.

Then she had to go to her class. So I rested for two hours, with plans to meet her later for dinner.

Can this girl ever eat!

I never saw a such a slender young thing pack down so much food. It is like she never ate before she met me. And everything she wanted was expensive - shrimp, lobster, pastel de tres leches, Red Bull, etc.

And when we got back home, she wiped out all of the chocolates I brought to treat the chicas, and devoured a bag of Oreos that she scared up from a kitchen cabinet.

I guess I am the naive one, not her. She sure knew how to play me.

Can this girl ever sleep!

Twelve hours she slept. Fully twelve hours. So I spent the night with those long legs wrapped around me and my hands hanging onto those razor sharp hips for dear life. I kept my nose buried into her long, lean torso so that I could lick those adorable abs while Maria gently snored away.

And one more thing:

Can this girl ever fuck!

Okay, maybe you can understand that when my tongue was stuck up her ass how I could go brain dead and lose all touch with reality. I have a reasonable excuse for spacing off my flight back to the States.

I completely forgot which night I was supposed to leave.

But what about my buddy? He was just shit-faced on vodka. What good is a wingman if he can't even get you to the airport on the right day?

When we showed up on the next night the airline people just smiled, as they knew they had us by the balls. If you count what they dinged me for a new one-way ticket home, Maria turned out to be a very expensive chica indeed.

Mother's don't let your babies grow up to be mongers...

Maria is a true chameleon, a chica with many looks and faces, and I love every one of them. You can see more of them on the photo thread:
