What to do in Jaco during daytime?
Been to SJ several times but just passed through Jaco once.
I am wondering if there is anything else to do in Jaco during the day other than enjoy surf and beach?
Also, overall, which hotel you guys recommend that is close to action but not too expensive / run down or noisy?

Activities are endless. Most of my clients go on ATV tours, zip lining, white water rafting, paddle boarding, horseback riding, surfing, jet skiing, crocodile river tours, fishing or just relaxing under a waterfall. Since it is the green season, (rains about 2 pm everyday) you will want to get started early with your activities. I also recommend going fishing for 1/2 day instead of a full day. The other day we boated 16 Mahi Mahi's in a half day.
As far as lodging, close to the action, a lot of my guys are booking the Monaco Jaco. If you have 2-3 guys, it's the very best value in all of Jaco. Each luxury condominium has 3 separate bedrooms and is everything you expect in a condo. It also has a jacuzzi and is a stones throw away from the Monkey bar and all the action. About $50 p. P. Based on 3 people.
Best Value $50 and under in Jaco

Jaco scene in the rainy / low season?
I am seasoned traveler with 20+ trips to Brazil, Cuba and Thailand and currently planning my first trip to CR. I can probably make it around the end of September / beginning of October for app. 12 days. I will definitely do my "homework" and read all the reports here and on other sites, but the main question that bothers me for the time being, if the number, quality and availability of the working girls is affected in any way by the fact, that it is the middle of the rainy / low season? It will be a long flight from Europe and I really want the full "package" and don't want to miss out on anything! Thanks for your kind advice and input in advance!

Never a bad time to come to Jaco

There are thousands of working ladies in Ticalandia. Some are full time, some are part time. They still have to earn a living and feed their families. Their chosen profession does not stop because of rain. All the regular guys who come down here know this. As I have always said, mongering is an inside sport. Now what does happen during the green season in Jaco is, the regular bird watching, butterfly hunting and just plain regular tourist do seem to prefer the dry season. So do the fishermen. However, the Cocal, Beatle Bar, Monkey Bar and Le Loft is still packed with hot chica looking for the green backs or Euro's in your case. (make sure you exchange your Euro's for Colones because the ladies will not take them. Actually, they prefer Dollars now). Good thing is, in Jaco right now you can get some great hotel and restaurant deals, leaving you more money for the ladies. Also, the streets are not nearly as crowded with regular tourist. My business has not slowed down and I am still making about 3-4 trips a week from San Jose and SJO to Jaco. I see what is going on, on a regular basis. Come on down, you will be glad you did.
On a side not, I just checked the airlines and you can get a direct flight from Madrid (MAD) to San Jose (SJO on Iberia on Oct. 14th - 21st for $557.91 . Leaves at 11:40 am Madrid time and arrives here at 2:40 pm Dang good flight.
