San Jose General Reports

[QUOTE=Kingfish1]I was wondering does the SL have US based ESPN, or is it the regular spanish soccer showing ESPN?

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.[/QUOTE]


SL is perfect for you.

Sat tv and Bill will put on any game you want.

Nice girls in the am and pm.

Enjoy.

[QUOTE=World Travel 69]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?[/QUOTE]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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a great list. First time poster planning my cherry run to CR July 18th. This list will be very helpful.

I had a newbie question: Has anyone created a map that lists these places? I'm searching but haven't found one. Anyone know of one they can point in my direction?

Mnpnu, Go to following site and click on "Don Gordo's Map of San Jose."

Thanks Tiny

The map on CRT is superior, but I think you have to be a paying member to access it. I am an enormous fan of the ISG, but because CRT focuses solely on Costa Rica, it is simply a better resource. I am hitting San Jose this week and plan to post my experiences here. Maybe myself and others can help the ISG Costa Rica board catch up in the near future.

The List has been moved to it's own Thread.

It still needs work.


Are there any Brothels?

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.

Anyone know a girl by the name of Sandra who worked the DR.

Very pretty and cums like a volcano?
