San Jose - 2003 Reports

Bar Idem. It is a bar and a brothel. Not much of a bar atmosphere. Not much English spoken. Go in, buy a very cold beer if you wish, talk to the friendly English speaking manager named Roberto, ask his advice, and pick a girl from the seats along the wall and go upstairs. Give the girl C14000 or so and she will pay the cashier and return any change. It is probably more now. A bigger downstairs room is C17000 or more. Get down to one half hour of business and tip her if she is pleasing, which most all are. Expect to start with a BBBJ and end with a covered entry. There are no exact addresses in San Jose for anything. It is 50 meters South of the intersection of Ave. 10 and Calle 11,... across the street and 100 meters Southeast of the Tin Jo restaurant. Ask the taxi driver to take you to Tin Jo Restaurant at Ave 10 and Calle 11. Walk across the street and down a few doors. Search this site for a WSG map of San Jose and download and print it. Take a cab after dark, and to be safe, in the daytime too. The Idem which is in a bad, low rent area.

Wine and Spirits.
As a wino I can attest that the Max x Menos market, one block South and one and one half blocks East of the Del Rey, has reasonable priced wines from Spain, Chile and Agrentina and a few German and California ones thrown in. The Chilean wines are good values anytime especially the Cabernet Sav and Merlots. I also found a good value Chardonnay or two and an Asti sweet sparkler which the girls love. There are a few good sparkling Cavas from Spain but do not expect French Champagne. They do not have high end stuff nor exotic Alsacian or German wines.
If you like American or Scotch whiskey, bring it, as the import tax is very very high. Regionally produced vodka, gin, tequila and rum are good and good values, unless you insist on high end imported brands. The usual mixers are available, including fresh limes.
Other related stuff.
Bring a corkscrew in your checked luggage to San Jose or buy one locally. You may be able to bring it to SJO in your carry on, but you CANNOT take a corkscrew OUT of San Jose in your carry on bag, nor folding umbrellas. Absolutely different rules than for domestic US and Canada flights. Your CHECKED bag will be HAND searched as will your carry on bag.

Tipping the girls.
I tip about 10 percent or so (with a minimum of C1000 at the 747 which is cheap anyway... It costs about C4500 for F/S at the 474 plus C1000 tip.)
See abbreviations in black border above.
I also bring gifts to give instead of tips, such as perfumes, lingerie and CDs. They love it. If you give em lingerie they usually will agree to pose in it for your photos.

to npaul:

There are decent wines available at the local markets. They have some very good wines at the dutyfree store at the airport. Be sure to go to the dutyfree store BEFORE you go through immigration. They won`t let you back in once you have been cleared.

Walker:
The Morazon has no charge for the chicks.The President are del Rey would be the place to stay.
Lee

Purplengold: Price of all night.
Price of an all nighter (more like 8pm-6am).Low end would be us70 for two girls.(that is us35 each) That was my best price and a good night. High end would be us300. Moust will take us150-200. As for enthusiasm. Take them to dinner and make it more like a date and there enthusiasm will go up. DO Not give them all the money till the AM are they will bolt.

I had mentioned in an earlier post that I'd used my Visa at the Tango India - a strip club I really enjoyed.
I just received my credit card bill and all is well. I even got a better exchange rate on my Visa card than I expected.

Whistle

Studplayer,

You asked about places. Don't know what you are looking for specifically, but will mention a couple of options not often posted on this board.

I enjoy going to Olympus. It is within walking distance of the other places. They have never charged me a cover charge. they have some pretty hot babes in there, and they don't put the money push on you like they do at the other high profile strip clubs. Not all the babes are 10's, but they look decent on the stage, and there can occasionally be a hot one worth spending some time for. If I recall, they charge the same price for drinks for the babe as they do you, and give real drinks to the ladies..


The other thing I like about the Olympus is that connected to it is the massage parlor, with a Greek name. I forget the specific name. Anyway, when things are slow on that side, you will see ladies dressed in street clothes come in from the back. Those ladies work at the massage place. So, you get to look at them too. Or, you can go to the John in the back and see some of them and check them out. Also, those ladies work for themselves, so to speak, and they can come and go as they please..so, if you get lucky like I did one night, you can find a really hot one in there, sit down and talk to her with a drink while watching the other ladies get nasty on the dance floor...and cut yourself a deal...or just take her to the back room and pay to fuck like at Idem or other places.

Another place I like is Hollywood. It has changed over the years. It used to be a low rent place mainly for locals (I have never seen another gringo in there). But now, it is owned by a group that owns some of the other clubs in town. The drink prices are the same as the others, but it has some interesting ladies...Plus, you can negoitiate for on site services if you want...they have rooms in the back...or you can get lapdances back there...as well..all kinds of things are possible.

I like going to these other places just to get away and see a different scene...

Like I said, depends on what you want.

Also, at least in the past, I have found that hookers will hang in the discos up at el Pueblo during the week. On Fridays and Saturdays it is full of couples so the hookers aren't there..but en el Kokoloco and the other ones, you can find some ladies..of course it depends on you being able to spot them and talk to them...but those things are possible...again, depends on what you are seeking...

Studplayer, Hollywood is on the south side of the Sabana..just down the road just past the Tennis club (going west) from the McDonalds located on the southeast corner, .. Any taxi driver will know it...don't go before 10,

WilliamWalker - The Morazon os no longer as girl friendly as before. They now charge for a girl as of Nov. 2002

Snooky

Your question was:
What's the best was to get from the Del Rey/San Jose to Jaco Beach? Does the Del Rey have a bus or something to take you there? NPaul suggested the IRAZU JACO BEACH HOLIDAY INN but I think it is a Best Western from my google search. What is a good place to stay at in Jaco Beach that is close to the action but also a decent place to stay. Snooky


Response:
I stayed with in walking distance an right on the ocean at a cool place, the Copacobana Hotel. It is a one block walk to 2 of the 3 hottest club/bars in Jaco.

Depending on your budget, the Best Western is also only 1 to 2 blocks from the action, and is on the main drag.

Del Rey can arrange for a small comfortable, air conditioned bus to drive you to Jaco fro about $18 US and it will take you door to door. Or you can public transportation bus, which is nice, very large, and will cost $5, but you aren't taken door to door of your hotels.

Get to know the guys at the desk at th Morazan. Treat them nice and they will take care of you. Treat them bad and you will pay the $5 Girl fee. They are pretty much full, so what dose that tell you. SEAHAWK at the MORAZAN. The best sports bar in San Jose.

Has anyone subscribed to the Tico Times and/or AM Costa Rica? If so how expanded are the different sections compared to the free online version?

I am specifically interested in knowing if the classifed section under women seeking men has many ads in there?

If so, this may be a way to make contact with a Tica prior to a visit.

I'm in Jaco now, staying at Hotel Cocal, negotiated hard for $65 for a single. It's on the beach, 2 pools, pool bar,casino, breakfast, friendly people, chica friendly. It was $95 last week and Jaco was jammed. Now it's back to normal.

Hotel Cocal is between the Beatle Bar and the disco La Central, the 2 main places to hang out. Women are available in both. I also liked Hotel Flamboyant (?) a block or so North of Cocal. Just as nice, and cheaper (maybe $47).

The Best Western is a little too family oriented and too big for my liking, and probably more $$. It's also very far from disco La Central, most of the restaurants, shopping, food stores, etc.

Hotel Copacabana looked nice also, but I really like the location of the Cocal.

real thrill

I used to read the Tico times all the time...and the ads are substantially better in the print edition...there used to be many more running than the last copy I picked up while visting last August.

They offer maybe 30% online..just the main headlines.

However, as to the value of those ads as a quality medium for contacting ticas in advance of arrival depends on your objectives. A high percentage of those, it seems to me, are looking for a more long term arrangment.

There are a substantial number of ads for guys coming to visit and requesting that women contact them. If I were you, I would try that as well...you can be real honest up front, saying what you want, anglo visitor (or what ever you are) coming to Costa rRca for week, wanting a travel companion and country/cultural guide..bonus if spoke english (unless you are fluent in spanish). You will probably get enough answers to get some options to evaluate. A lot depends on how much time you have before you plan to visit...

and how you want them to contact you...by mail will take a lot longer. I know you can set up an answer box to the Tico Times and have them forward the mail to you..but don't don't what are the times for that option..

Good luck...

WW,
I have stayed at the Morazan since '98 and love it. I think they changed owners last year and when I was there last June, they had done some much needed renovations. Since they know me, now, I only take care of the front desk help and Ricardo the bellhop, when I'm leaving. They are always friendly and give helpful advice during my stay. Enjoy! I hope to be back there sometime between April and June.

real thrill...the pros do use the local newspapers...just look under the servicios section...or personales..if you don't speak excellent spanish, have the bell hop or somebody show them to you..there are ones than advertise that speak english...

I think that would be a worthwhile source, especially if looking for a week long or days companion to the coast.

The problems I encounter for finding those types in the normal pickup places are two or three:
1. They have kid(s) and need to make arrangements for them. Sometimes this isn't a problem, but for 8 out of ten that have kids, it is a problem. sometimes though, given 24 hours, they can work it out.
2. They have a daytiime job. there are less and less of these in these places, but several years ago, there were a high percentage that had a daytime job and would just show up every few days for some extra money. Those, in my mind, were the best. Nowdays, the pros have moved in, lots of Dominicans and Colombians as well that make this their full time job. Anyway, some of the very best GFE I have had with Ticas (and they are the best, forget what colombians and dominicans look like) has been these types. Trouble is, they are only available on saturday and sunday (beginning friday night) to leave town.

Another way to go about it is to find a girl at the beach location. The board has some very good tips on Jaco, Quepos, other places. If you are going to the south west coast (Tamarindo area), I would say, from what I have read, you better take something with you.

You can look up La Nacion and the other daily paper on line. You might scan the want ads there and see what pops up. You could always hire somebody where you live who speaks spanish to give them a call and see what you could set up. Just an option to think about.

One thing I think is certain. If you know what you want and you can explain it, there is no reason you can't find it. One of the techniques that I woud think I would use would be to find a girl at the Blue Marlin who speaks english and tell her what you are looking for. Assuming that she isn't what you want or she can't go, offer to pay her a tip for finding you a girl who can meet your conditions. They all know each other or enough around, that they can pass the word a helluva lot faster than you can interview them all to find out if they can make arrangements to leave for a few days.

Good luck..wish I was with you. I could find the chick for you. Have done it several times for others...

catch some fish too..the last time I went out, my partner and I had double doubles (both had sails on at the same time, twice). It was fast and furious.

Viajerotropico,

Thanks again, this is great information. I am going to be staying at a timeshare in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste. I know Playa Coco, which is nearby, may have some action at the bars, but it is definitely hit or miss.

My Spanish is so-so, I know most of the verbs and the important nouns. My problem comes with some of the irregular verbs, and conjugating in different tenses. If I stick with present perfect tense, I am pretty good. So I think I can communicate OK.

I think I am a pretty good looking guy, and pros here in the states can't understand why I visit with them. Some have actually said that they think I should work at the local ladies club.

My taste is for very beautiful women. I could give you links to ladies here in Houston and show you what I'm talking about. The lady will have to like being active (Diving/snorkeling, fishing, dancing at night, etc.) I'm not into sitting at a pool for 3-4 days doing nothing.

I was speaking with a captain in Playa Hermosa and he thinks I will easily have a chance at Sails, Tuna, Dorado, Roosterfish, and possibly Wahoo.

I will try the local paper sections to see what kind of talent is in there. If that goes belly up, then I think I have to play it smooth in Playa Coco, unless you know some trophies who wouldn't mind starting an email correspondence with me to see if we would be compatible.

A friend of a friend lives in CR on the SW coast someplace. I am going to see if he can help put me in touch via email with a model type semi-pro or pro ladies. I do want to spend my time with a Tica, not a Dominican or Columbian.

If you have any other ideas, please feel free to email me at real-thrill@excite.com

I was in CR in November and spent 3 days fishing at Mal Pais. There is a little fishing village south of the village of Mal Pais and the it's a bargain. I only paid $20.00 hr. and we had 2 or 3 lines going at all times. The fishing village is about as far as the road goes south on the peninsula so you can't miss it. There's also a canopy tour right there.
Our guides were Emilio and Andres - they are partners and co-own the boats. We spoke to some other fisherman but I wasn't impressed.
I caught 4 tuna and 2 magnificent Dorado (also known as Mahi-Mahi or Dolphin Fish). I also saw giant sea turtles swimming right by the boat and hundreds of sting-rays breaching the water.
Mal Pais is a surfer's village so, if you like the big waves, it's a bonus.

A canopy tour is where you are hoisted to tree-top level in the Jungle forest. Most people don't realize that about 90% of the wildlife in Costa Rica is up in the forest canopy (the upper tree level where the leaves and branches cover the sunlight).
CR has an incredible amount of wildlife so this is a must-do while you're there. Then if anyone asks you about your visit to CR, you can talk about blowjobs, 3-somes, the Del Rey, and howler monkeys.

Real-thrill

No, don't pay American prices for charter boats. That was one disappointing thing about CR - prices in American dollars. I'm a Canadian and, with our bad exchange rate, I don't appreciate having to put up with it in a non-US country.
I checked with some charter companies that wanted $650.00US for a day's fishing. Sure you get nicer equipment and all the beer you can drink, but I'd rather spend my money on women. Besides that, the fishermen in Mal Pais have one of the best fishing grounds I've ever seen.
I spent some time in San Jose, Mal Pais, Playa Coco (near Playa Hermosa) and Liberia. The only SW's I spotted were in San Jose. I didn't see any in the bars I visited either (besides the obvious Del Rey). I've travelled a lot and my impression is that you either need to make arrangements in advance or REALLY know where you're going - unless you speak good Spanish, which I don't.
I visited in November, just at the end of the low season - there weren't a lot of Americans around - mostly Europeans and Canadians - except at the Del Rey (God Bless America!). There I met a scammer who claimed to be a movie producer (took credit for "Enemy at the Gates") and said he was worth a Billion dollars.
If I were you, I'd start with the Blue Marlin bar at the Del Rey. I would look for someone who can hook you up with what you're looking for for a small commission and an extra bonus if everything works out well for you.
I also made friends with a Columbian girl at the Tango India. She might be able to hook you up with someone honest and friendly. If you're interested, email me at whistle830@aol.com and I'll pass on the info.

San Jose Gambling question. I've contacted a few of the hotels
with roulette questions. Most have said the "wheel" isn't used,
they play "canasta" (balls in glass like lottery). Can anyone
tell me exactly which casinos offer the roulette wheel, and also is
it American version (0,00) or European (0). Thanks. I'll be posting
sleazy stories from there in a month, but I like to gamble also.

NY Guy,

BBBJ is not the norm, without asking. I'd say about 25% give it off the bat. About 50% will give it if you mention a tip.

I'm sure the cleaner you look, the more likely you are to get it. I've also found some chicas that won't do it even with a condom. Ask before money changes hand.

Rocio at 747 gives a real nice one, for about $11 the last time I was there in August.

Am in San Jose at the Del Ray. The 24th was my first night this trip. Was with a lovely yong thing from the Blue Marlin.Yes have photo. She was new at what she was doing but she was so good looking.On the 25th I was with a girle I first saw on my last tripe. 26 petite good looking and experienced (a good thing ).Yes there is a photo this tme last time she would not leet me tak any.

Hey guys,

Where is the best place to exchange money? The airport? Where are the best rates at...also, where else besides the hotels can we exchange money since they charge such a substantial premium. Thanks.

NYGuy,

The airport isn't bad, but some hotels used to give a decent exchange. When I was there last May, I just went to the bank across from the Hotel Morazon. The bellhop help me to pick times when it wasn't too busy, so the wait wasn't long. Morazon didn't seem too anxious to exchange, since I wasn't gambling.

The bank is a block from the Del Rey.

enjoy.

Hit n Run;

I went into a number of casinos around San Jose and at some resorts in November. I didn't see any "regular" roulette tables anywhere - just the canasta version. From what I've read in the guide books, you're not likely to find one.

Exchanging money:
The hotels seemed to have the worst rates, banks had decent rates but some charged a fee - I went to the Bank of Nova Scotia in a mall thinking that I'd do okay with a Canadian bank but was charged $5.00US. Best to ask about service charges first but I'd been in a long line and needed cash. The local banks were the best bet.

ALSO: Note for non-US citizens. Use American cash and travelers cheques in CR. Even if you have to change from Canadian to US to colones, you'll still be ahead. All the exchange rates for Canadian dollars were out of sync with the actual rates. Even the Euro, which is worth more than the US dollar right now was exchanged at about 75% of the US buck.

Use the ATM machines. They will give you the current exchange rate.

San Jose Jan 2003 part two. The 26th I was with Victoria. First saw her in Feb 2002.Not what you would call a sweet yong thing.More like a skilled pro.But this girl is fun.Yes new photos of her. On the 27th made it over to New Fantasy.I am not much on massage parlors but this one could chang my mind. The night of the 27th I saw G from the Blue Marlin. This girl could kiss. The best I have had in Costa Rica (best kisser).Tell them you are in town for weeks not days and the Quality of serves will go up. Yes photo. Lee

San Jose Jan 2003 part 3:
What day is this? Must be the 29th.What is there to do in San Jose before 6pm? NEW FANTASY. Last night (28th?)was Dominican night. I love the Blue Marlin it is like a variety store all you could look for is there just learn to shop.My Dominican and I had a long night. Yes there will be photos. But no Photos of New Fantasy. I do not take anything of value to go exploring. Lee

San Jose Jan. 2003 part four.
All I am going to say is ( what a doll). The body is by mother nature and I have photos. This will be my last night will make the best of it.
Lee

HIt n Run - There are no "regular" roulette wheels in CR. Also, I would steer away from gambling at the Blue Marlin. The black jack deal tried screwing me when I asked for a hit (obvious call since I had a 9 showing against his 10 showing). He didn't give me a card. I asked him about it ...he ignored me. When I asked him to call a pit boss over he ignored me. Even everyone at the table told him I asked for a hit.

I finally called a pit boss over who agreed to look at the video tape after my coaxing. They did and found that it was very obvious that I asked for a hit. They gave me my bet back and paid me as if I had won.

Now, I am not saying I am a big better or anything (a $20 bet is not that much). However, the principal of the matter ticked me off.

At another time, I was sitting at an empty table (no dealer or anyone) waiting for my friend to come out of the bathroom and they got on my case telling me to move and that I couldn/t wait there.

I recommend the casino next to the Blue Marlin. It is a nice place, never seems to be very busy and I ran into nice friendly people there.

For NYGuy,

Yes, there are quite a few Pensions or small hotels such that run in the $15-$25 range. I've stayed in one before, and while it wasn't horrible, I'd spring the extra 10-15 and get a hotel.

I seem to recall people saying that the Morazon or the Presidente had a $35 special or such.

I never brought a girl back to my room, so not sure if any are girl friendly.

I'd recommend you buy one of the explore Costa Rica type books.

The noise levels can be pretty bad. I stayed in the Balmoral my first time, and along with an earthquake waking me up, the street noise was pretty bad.

Jaimito,

I appreciate the information...I will do some searching when I get down there....thanks.

I am certainly considering going to either CR or the dominican Republic in late February. I hope someone could just answer my few questions. I am hearing conflicting things about the Del Rey hotel and am hearing more Positive things about the Presidente hotel. Since I am a monger who will be possibly going to either CR or DR for only a few short days I want to have the best possible time. Any info from an experienced CR monger about the hotels, babes, food prices, etc would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks

Tanager,
Wish I could join you. Sounds like fun.

Almost anytime you go to SJO and hang out at the Blue Marlin or the Park Hotel bar on Fri or Sat nights, you will meet some good people to hang with. I know a lot of the names who post here and they know their stuff.

Somewhere here, someone posted 16 rules for San Jose and if you can find those stick with them.
Keep your cool, do not wander around drunk and act like you have common sense and you will do OK.

Good Luck, and have fun. Say hello to Roberto for me at IDEM. -WW.

Tanager,
See post by Ace00 dated 10-25-02, in this San Jose forum for the 16 rules.

2 questions:

1. What kind of cancellation policies do these hotels have? For example, what is hotel presidente's policy? Also, what's cheaper per night, hotel morazan or presidente?

2. Do girls negotiate in dollars or colones?

My five years of spanish classes only allows me to count up to 9999...anything above that, I am unsure, I would imagine it's a mouthful though.

Thanks

NYGUY:
Concellation Policies;just like the US you pay first night if a no show.Morazan is $39 and the Presidente is $45.Girls negotiate in dollars but will take colones.
Lee

Does anybody know what the layout of these "suites" look like? The hotel people said they are two rooms, one with two beds, and another with one.

thanks

KYJ and WW,

Thanx. The sixteen rules of ACE00 (posted 10-25-02 here) will guide me always. As far as I’m concerned, if you wander around drunk at night in a third world city, you DESERVE to be relieved of your cash. I’m not going to Costa Rica to DRINK; I can DRINK right here at home.

Claro que sí . . . I will give your regards to Roberto at IDEM. In fact, I may head straight to IDEM after checking in at the Presidente on Friday in the early evening (2/21). Maybe New Fantasy instead? I know that’s probably not the best time of day for IDEM, but I’ll be interested in some quality time before the much-storied show at the Park Hotel. On Saturday and Sunday I’ll do the grand tour . . . the circuit, remembering Don Gordo’s rule . . . that the tour is subject to unannounced delays by reason of meeting beautiful chicas.

I’m pysched, and I’m looking forward to meeting some fellow adventurers along the way.

Tanager

Dudes,whats the policy at the Presidente regarding bringing a girl to your room?

NYGUY:
It is two separate hotel rooms with a door that connects them to make a suite out of what was just two rooms.If it is the Presidente .

Hi All....To any first timers going to San Jose I would stay at the Del Rey as it is the hub of the gulch.Ask for Tom ...He is an American who grew up in CR ...He will set up fishing trips...escort you around...answer all questions.He is a good guy and will take care of you....especially if tu no habla espanol.As for the chicas I was there last month and the prices have gone down from my previous trips.Immigration is cracking down on the girls....Also remember you must get a pasport effective 5/1/03 to enter the country.....Have fun....Be careful.....Be nice....

Hotel Del Rel Bar is filled with mainly ugly girls. Many are fat and stupid (not personable) Some are outright nasty looking and acting.
After the 3rd or 4th mangy girl tried to get me to take the bait she asked me what I wanted; I replide 'Sofia Vergara" at which time she started cursing me out. (I am fluent in Spanish)

Many will not talk to you and just expect payment in full and "lets go"

It is good to talk to the girl to see if she is personable, happy, "into it" rather than give them what they demand and become a robot.

Some will roll their tongue and make other obscene gestures (in Latin culture very unladylike, unfeminine and RUDE)

I think some "gringo" moron once actually gave a girl 100 dollars and after that they all decided to ask for that. Utterly ridiculous. I would not get close to those girls if they paid ME.

Yes I know many will argue with what I say and yes for those people, the Blue Marllin girls DO SEEM wonderful. Guess it all has to do with perspective and relevance. If you speak Spanish and know Latin culture almost CERTAINLY you will not find the Blue Marlin girls attractive.

At shopping malls and associated restaurants and night clubs are MUCH better local women eager to meet you, dance, have fun.

CR indeed has many beautiful and sexy women, too bad they don't go to Del Rey Bar.

The few Colombian girls there are "nothing to write home about" although they were more amiable and friendly, and maybe good as lovers.

For women, Colombia is a world above CR. Smart, friendly, beautiful, HUNGRY and sweet!!

Sorry, but for pro's, you can keep Costa Rica.

For all those that are familiar with the scene in SJ, CR...can someone provide me with an email address so that I may inquire more questions with...I don't want to splatter the board with newbie questions. Also, if anyone wants info on Santo Domingo, DR, feel free to email me as I have pertinent information about those surroundings.

Hello NYGuy,
Don't know much about CR, but would
like to know more about DR. What is your
email? reach me 4strikes4@excite.com.
Thank you, Frank

-humilde-

Well considering that most of the "paying" customers in the Blue Marlin are Gringos, I'm not surprised if they do some tongue rolling.

I've never taken a girl from the Blue Marlin myself. It's not that they weren't attractive to me (a gringo, of course), but the value of $60-$100 a pop wasn't attractive to me.

I have gone in with Tico friends, and I can tell you that they were ignored totally. Where else would a really BIG guy get a dozen cute chicas all over him, and a studly Tico get ignored?

Most of the girls there are serious pros. They're not there to drink beer, they're there to bring home the money. It's always better to have a personal relationship with someone, rather than to just say "Suck Me".

Check out the other places, Bar Idem or the more Tico style Club 40, Molino Rojo or 747. I've been to the latter three and had some good times there.

Delta has another Delta website only, delta.com, sale to SJO. It is effective now thru June 1. No blackout dates. Not a bargain basement deal but far less than the usual fares. Seven day advance purchase required and stay three days including Sat nite. It is fifty dollars cheaper Mon thru Thursday. DO NOT GO during Holy Week of April 13 thru 20th. The bars are closed by law, and the girls go home. Yes the State has made a law concerning the establishment of a religion, I guess. In all likelyhood there will be a even more terrific airfare sale effective Holy Week because everyone is avoiding San Jose, at that time.
Reminds me of the story of the man who opened a wh*re house and before he had any girls in the place he had to run the place by hand. You will be doing yourself by hand too during holy week.
Back to Delta, the fare is $499 out of ATL on Mon thru Thurs after April 1 and $549 before that, will all bullsh!t taxes and fees included, I think. $50 more for weekend travel.

Get your hotel reservations early

Hola Jaimito Cartero,

Looks like you feel the same way I do. If you spend a few days/nights in Bogota you will not find many, if any Blue Marlin girls attractive at ANY price including FREE.

Que este bien

Hi all,

I am heading back to Costa Rica from feb 22 to march 4th. i will be staying at the delrey as i have for the last two trips, yes they are expensive but i like being able to roll out of bed at 3am and find women available. i am checking two other things out while i am there, and wonder if anyone has had any experiance with them. one is a thing called fantasy resorts which supplies everything including women for one inclusive price. the other is costarican escorts (50 bucks to join) has anyone used them, and what is one day price. will give some info on past trips, as well as a report on this upcomming trip.....thanks

drcr

Both are overexpensive rip-off. You can do lot better on your own and save money. You can get twice as many gals at one half price on your own. San jose does not require these escort services.

and, escort services are illegal in costa rico and the all inclusive resort may be illegal too, both under the prohibition on pimping as they define and interpert the law. i do not think the exact term pimp is used but the law is clear on the point.

one all inclusive resort was raided a few years ago. the authorities made a big deal about ****d females there. that made them look good whether or not it was true, as it sounded good in the press. the pimp aspect was played down.

i agree with tasty1 that these are very expensive rip-offs and you do not need them at all.

Regarding the escort sites. I may be taking one for the team, because thanks to the help of another monger, I joined costaricaescorts.net yesterday.

Opinions thus far:
Upon entering their "Members" section, there are pictures and descriptions of about 30 ladies total. You can see 2 photos of each lady. The description consists of their name, age, country of origin, and english speaking abilities.

If you see one that interests you, you can send her an email, flowers or candy through the service.

Now out of these 30 ladies, there are 10 that I would do, and 5 that I think are 7-8 in looks. The rest of the ladies move slowly down the scale. The web site claims that there are many other girls available, but they don't want their photo posted. To contact them you must contact the board with a description of you are looking for, and they will put you in touch. It doesn't say whether you will ever be provided a photo of these "shy" ladies.

The website costs $54.95 per month! Yikes.

Once the initial email is sent through member services, the service will ask the lady to contact us directly to make arrangements and negotiate a deal. THIS WILL BE KEY AS I DO NOT PLAN ON EXTENDING THIS SERVICE. In this way they avoid the "Pimping" scenario, because you are dealing directly with the lady. Yesterday, we sent a total of 5 letters to 5 different ladies. Now I have to hurry up and wait.

I will keep the board updated on how this progresses.

What we requested of the ladies:
We told the ladies that we thought they were special, and that we wanted to spend 5 days at the beach with them. Are they interested and how much. There was more flowery stuff in the email, but that is the meat of our request.

Here is why we joined:
I am arranging a trip for me and my friends to CR. We will be arriving in SJ at noon on a Wed., and we will be driving over to the coast later that afternoon. We are pretty picky in our choice of women, and I don't think we can find 3 quality (both looks and attitude) ladies, that will be able to go to the coast with a partial afternoon notice. So I took a $55 risk for my team and all of you. Hopefully this works out and we are able to line-up quality ladies ahead of time. Since I will be emailing directly with the ladies, I should get a feel for their personality, attitude, etc.

I will keep all of you informed as this deal progresses. I won't pay for a second month, so I basically have 27 days to line up 3 girls from this site that will have external conversations and keep the deal alive. I will also let you know how the negotiations go. My goal is to get to $150 or less per day for 5 days plus expenses. They get to hang out with guys that most ladies rate in the 7-8 range.

If it doesn't work out and turns out to be a rip-off, then everyone will know. I will be sure to post my findings at CH, WSG, CRSex, etc. I anticipate things to be on the up and up since this is the site that advertises on Ricardo's site so much.

And if I end up getting burned and educating all of us, then hopefully some of you regular CR mongers will help by giving up an email and photo of your favorita so I can contact her. A great (pleasant) attitude and hot looks are what I'm after.

Later,
Real

I lived in CR from 1991 to 2000 (still have a business there) and just visited with a couple buddies. This was my first time mongreling and I must say that El Presidente treated us well. Attentive bell-hops and the jacuzzi on the roof is great (be sure to reserve it). Arte Masaje girls are hit and miss, but when you hit it, the attention is great and I like the cleanliness of the place. The steam room is nice. Did not make it to New Fantasy though, how does that establishment compare?

I would like to know a few things about going to CR. Is it safe to go as just one person? What is the best way to find flights to there? Do you Need a Pass-Port if your coming from LA? ( I really neeed to know that question. I'm ready for a new adventure and CR is where I want to go.

I have traveled to CR alone several times (may even be going back in a few weeks). Fun place to go but like anywhere else,be careful. I recommend reading all the postings here. There is a web site ************.com and from there click on to the discussion board. There you will find many of the questions you have already answered. Check out Dongordo website. It is excellent , he included a map of the mongering places to visit including photos of women. Always take a cab, especially at night. There have been muggings and you can read about them
at the ************.com website discussion board. Fun place to go but use your head ( the one on your shoulders). It helps but it is not essential if you speak spanish. Go to the Blue Marlin and there are plenty of gringos there that can probably help you out over a beer or 2. Passport is required after May 1st , I recommend having one now, makes it easier to get throught customs. pura vida

Kidrock:
I make two or three trips to Costa Rica a year. I am over 50 and not a very big guy. Most of those trips it was just me. My advice would be as follows. Get a passport there's way too many advantages to having one. Make your reservations directly with the airline over the Internet. Have confirmed reservations with your hotel. Reconfirme that at least once. Ask your hotel to pick you up at the airport. Most are happy to send a taxi for you. As you exit the airport your driver will be there with a board with your name on it. Dressed down and be polite to others but firm. If you're going anywhere outside of Gringo Gulch take a taxi. If you are the least bit intoxicated stay put. Be nice to the girls you'll get much more than your moneys worth. Your money will get her to your room your attitude will keep her there.
Lee

Kid Rock....Lee is right on the money...I went 5 times last year the first time i went alone and had a great time! Use the net to reserve your room...I would suggest the Del Rey or the El Presidente....although the Morazon is nice and you can get a room for US$35....Del Rey is $55 ...It is the hub...You will love it!!Have Fun.....Mule69

I wish I was there right now, I also went by myself, but you can always ask if there are other members going around the same time and hang out. Also, there are Internet Cafe's there so you can still connect to the rest of the world.

Hi All,

I wanted to know if the Best Western downtown allowed you to have guests. I plan on being there in March and would like any info.

Thanks

thought i'd send in a report from a 1st time traveler to cr. this is my friend who went a week earlier than i e-mailing me. i will be arriving feb 24 and will report. both of us have mongered extensivly in se asia over the years but this is our first trip to central am. new perspectives from cr newbies.

day one:
you are going to love this place. i had a hard tine opening an acct down here. most everything is in spanish and getting it into english took some experimentation. which brings me to more important stuff. hundreds of poonies down here, all getting f'd while you freeze your ass up north. you and your deviant sidekick neely will have raging woodies just peeking out the window on the way from the airport!

prices are high compared to thailand but everything is negotiable. the del rey has beautiful girls, maybe 100 girls every night but they ask for 100 dollars and maybe you can get them to 50-70 dollars. idem has prettys for 16000c (there are 384c per dollar) so 40 dollars arty massage is the same. fantasy is 6000c for half an hr. the other massage places are the same but quality is so-so at all massage places. the girls have beautiful faces and big-big titties. but the are also a lot of chubbies. may be a problem for you. not a problem for me though. (by the way they all seem to have tight poony, i mean like your ring finger will be a tight fit!)

1st night i got a skinny little beauty who was great and the milk from her titties was sweet and excellent. later that night i got a chubby beauty with even more milk, it could squirt a foot or more, like a goddamed river! . anyhow i had another yesterday evevning, a dark little nicaraguan with 14 pounds of tit at idem and she was great(they all give incredible head). last night i took a big fun dominican girl for the whole night for 20 dollars. nailed her 4 times and ran out of steam. she told me i could f her back door but it was too tight for me, what a shame. all the girls have tight poon. 3 out of the first 4 have actually gotten off while doing it. this tropical climate must really make their poon itch, hell i dont know but they are really into it!

i am wasting valuable time writing this while on my way to try and pick up a non pro at the park. sometimes it can work i guess, then off to the park hotel for the first time and then maybe 747. tonight i may spend big money for a tall thin dominican (they are all blacks) and try my first viagra.

changing cash is no problem. i have been on the street after dark in the barrio w/out problems so far, it is possible to get robbed however. if you bring cash you will need a hotel with a safe. hotels are expensive. the del rey is about 60 d the morazon is 45d for 1 bed or 2. similar quality, meaning nice and newer are 55-70d. i found a good one called castillo for 35d cash and 8-23 d for scrappy places.you might not like them. save them for the end of the trip. if we leave i will leave the map and directions and helpful info at the morazan hotel for you. they are a good group at the desk. if i were you i would stay there the first night and get a feeling for the area and change to different hotel if you want on tuesday. the morazan is 1 blk from del rey and a perfect location for all action. taxi from airport to hotel is 12 dollars.if were not here when you arrive talk to the dudes at the bars and they will help you out. taxi drivers must be told exactly where to go. do not let them take you to their own massage place, will be too nuch money.

DAY 3-4

Got a 12 this afternoon at ***** the little Dominica 1.5 hrs for 12000c abt 32d. She was a horn dog and you will love her but get her soon as she is on her way to bigger n better things. Besides when I get back you will have to stand inline. 5' tall, 90lbs n 3' braided hair with beautiful face and figure you will recognize her no problem. She sucked me in the sauna n the steam room while another couple was in there. Back in the room she let me cum in her mouth while I ate her poon. It was clean sweet n tight, I thought my finger got stuck at the knuckle. The girl came while I was fingering her and couldnt get enough, she told me that 1 cum only per house rules but she was having fun so she decide 2 cums was fine and saved the rubber for the hosing.

After her mouth catch which she thought was f she brushed her teeth gave me a great massage with oil and lotion on both of us and I fucked her for 20 minutes all sweaty and oiled up with a big screen porno going. It was fucking incredible! Her poony is so tight even neely will feel it!

My father took a viagra and right now having sex for the first time in 5 yrs with a real cutie.

Rio Indio fishing trip in Nicwawa will cost about 100 r/t airfare 110 per night lodging in 1st class fishing lodge n boat is 475/day split 4 ways with guaranteed excellent fishing.

We will fish 1-2 days starting wed next week (after you arrv) in jaco for sailfish. We leave tommorow / sat morn for volcano / monteverde / jaco fishing trip delivering us to San Jose on Wed or Thurs night. We rented a car and driver to take us on this tour it was cheaper than an organized tour. Will check out action and Jaco supposed to be great at beetle bar.

Tips: buffet at Morazan Hotel basically all you can eat but ask first (2 plates /trips through line) from 1100am-200pm for 1000c (a steal) I think dinner buffet all you can eat at Key Largo from approx 900pm-on for 1000c. I heard the Park Hotel lezzie show is not that great, fatties.

I dont have my map with me so I will try and remember the walking route from my memory. 747 sucks. Bella donna sucks, Club 40 sucks.

This will be better description. The massage places basically suck based upon my exploring and I saw 80% of them between 4-700pm they all say more girls and better girls after 700pm, its possible but dont count on it. Basically the girls are fatties w/bad bellies/babeees. You should go check them out because they have shift changes new talent etc... besides its a fucking adventure. Better take turns being first through the door or else there will be a standout girl in a pool of shit and you will be penis number 2 after neely or vice versa!

Good places. Fantasy Club, Idem 40d, Eros sucks fatties n 65d art y sauna can be good one. At Art y sauna was the pretty / skinny /diamond nose stud n pierced tongue girl she was the first milker very tastee. Fun too name Nicole. She was not there last night so I nailed a chubby cutie. Other milker at fantasy with dyed red hair and huge titties but her belly is a road map she hides it with tight clothes (make them all stand up before deciding so you can get a good look!!!) but she sucks like no tomorrow and can squirt a river!

There is potential at cha cha cha next to 747 and Alcazar had a beauty and great rooms but 65d per hr.

Heard Europa was great but not when I looked. Vips was poor but Vips Grande (dont know which one) is supposed to be good for Dominicas. A club called The Dungeon is preferred by the local expats but I cant find it from the directions they gave and door has no sigh on it. Ask.

I am going to find a girl tonight at Del Rey because I will be 3-4 days without on nature tour. Another tip I heard today was try to strike up convaesation with local girls on the street / restaurant etc. Many will turn a trick for extra spending money.

Also go to Del Ray at night, it gets hopping at 1100-1200 or so. Then find a pretty ***** and ask for her phone number for the nexy day in afternoon and I heard they may do it for 10000c. At any rate they will be cheaper in afternoon when they dont have shit!

Stay away from strip/dancing bars or you will get fucked. If in doubt ask before you order anything. Don't carry anything you can't afford to lose after dark. i have not had a problem and I have been in the barrios after dark alone where I shouldnt be, but I like the thrill of a good foot chase.

Cameras are expensive here buy some instants before leave home. At Morazan you can get a double for same price as single 45d and take turns using the room or fuck the bitches at the same time if your not shy. Dont let anyone give you a drink in room as you can buy rolphies over the counter here!

There is a ton of addt'l shit to remember but I told you the most important stuff. More happy dreams to you god damned deviant bastards.

Gentlemen,

I am happy to be reporting live from San Jose on Avenida Central. All is well in paradise.

I paid $313 roudtrip out of Miami on LACSA through Orbitz.com, traveling on a Friday and a Monday, but you might get an even cheaper rate from TACA.com, the parent company of the airline.

Dont check any baggage unless you must. Customs was a breeze. Immediately upon exiting the airport I was greeted by male and female uniformed employees of the taxi company, who steered me to a ticket booth not ten paces from the airport doors. $12 to Hotel El Presidente... reddish orange compact taxis. It might take you 20 minutes to get there during rush hour. Sit in the front seat if you are alone.

The Prez is located at the corner of calle (street) 7 and Avenida Central. The avenues are numbered sequentially upwards from here, Odd avenues to the north and even avenues to the south, assuming Lumps map is oriented with North to the top (sorry I cant figure out the apostrophe on this spanish keyboard). Avenida Central is a pedestrian only shopping street. All very sensible, but for the lack of street signs (there are some posted directly on the corner of whatever building happens to be there, but dont count on it).
Also, some the taxi drivers are surprisingly uninformed. Carry Lumps map with you, and tell them by street and avenue. Be patient and overpay them (what, its a couple of bucks).

The News Cafe is part of the Prez, right on the corner, with open brick and railing vistas... perfect for watching a country full of beautiful women walk by. I have a junior suite (506), two rooms, $65 per night, reserved via email. High up and in the back is the quietest. First room has a couch and two chairs and a coffee table, plus another table and two chairs, a closet with a safe. The second room has a huge bed with nightstands and lamps and a TV with more channels (english and spanish) than I get at home. The bathroom is large and the shower will scald you. Its all very clean and modern, white tile floors. The staff is friendly and patient when dealing with clueless no hablo mucho espanol newbies like me.

I arrived on Friday evening a took a taxi to New Fantasy. At night take taxis everywhere... they are abundant and cheap (500 calones for every destination) They have taken down the large sign that was over their front door, but there is still a small sign beside the front door, so it doesnt look exactly like the picture on their website. My spanish is weak, but no problemo. The chica with the best english gave me a tour then took me to choose from about 10 chicas, ranging from sixes to eights. They have a sauna and steam room, and little bedrooms with low beds and a nightstand and a TV pumping out porn. I chose a 22 year old Tica. BBBJ (bare back blow job for you newbies), DATY (down at the Y, use your imagination), but no besos (kisses). I would rate her a 7, 7, 7 (face, body, attitude). 18,000 calones plus 3,000 tip. Bring your own preferred brand of condoms. Open nine to nine daily, but not Sundays (damn). I was going to do more, but I was exhausted, so I got a good nights sleep.

Breakfast excellente is included at the Prez in the News Cafe. Self'serve, fresh squeezed juices, custom omelettes.

Saturday morning is a big shopping time on the Avenida. Exit the Prez and turn right and walk about three blocks and on the opposite side of the street you will find the Mas o Menos (not to be confused with the closer Pague Menos). This is a supermarket with everything from toe nail clippers to fresh fruit, candles, candy, cookies, Bacardi. I recommend many small packages of goodies (not one big box)... unopened is fresh and assuring... can be given away.

Changing money can be a challenge, especially on a weekend. Bring twenties... I wouldnt worry with travelors checks. The Prez desk can do about $100 at a time. The casino next door can do some too. There seem to be long lines at the ATMs, and I would not trust the guys on the street offering to change money. So... exit the Prez and turn left and walk one block (to the square) and turn left again and you will find the Banco Interfin S.A., where there is zero wait and they gave me 383 calones to the dollar.

I walked into one of the many small Farmacias around and said Yo quisiera Viagra pero no tengo receta (I would like some Viagra but I dont have a prescription). No problemo. A little less than 5,000 calones for the 100 mg pfizer... the real deal.

Exit the Prez and turn left and keep walking and you will eventually come to a flower market, fresh and cheap and beautiful. Makes the room extra nice.

On Saturday morning at Arte y Sauna (exit the Prez, turn right, one block, turn right, two blocks on the right). I chose two chicas out of a selection of about eight, maybe of slightly less quality than New Fantasy, but close enough not to matter. I had a 20 year old (8,7,7) and a 27 year old (8,6,7) for 15,000 each. Arte is not as new as New Fantasy, but its cool. Taking two was a mistake, however, because when together they had to follow the rules (Im guessing). When both were present they would only give me little kisses, but when one was out of the room, the other was all mouth... very nice. The 20 year old was embarrased having never done a three way. CBJ, full service, 5,000 tip each... so a total of about $105 for a dream come true, on a rickety creaky tall massage table (not like the low beds at New Fantasy). Try to get a room away from the little lobby entrance, as the traffic and laughter can be a distraction.

I finally stopped by the Blue Marlin, the center of San Jose ***** culture, on Saturday afternoon, intending only to check it out and head to IDEM. Instead I took home a 22 year old Dominicana (9,7,8). She started at the obligatory $100, but we left on 25,000 calones with propina (tip). BBBJ, DATY, and a GFE (girl friend experience)... lots of besos largos, excellent enthusiasm. I paid her after (no problemo). She wanted dollars, so I gave her $80 plus 5,000 calones.

By the way, the dominicana had a petite columbiana friend who was the pick of the litter at the Marlin. Some too drunk gringo asshole was sending her free drinks, and even though he was an easy target she avoided him because he was so drunk. Instead she talked with me and the dominicana. He was mad. Dont be a drunk asshole and you will find that life is better. Everywhere in the world, you will get more bees with honey.

The Marlin is the top of the line for selection (and price), but honestly the selection is not THAT much better than at the other places. As the senior members have said many times... get out of gringo gulch!

Took a nap then headed to IDEM. Met Roberto and told him how I had found out about his place on the WSG and we talked about DonGordo and Rico and others. He runs a great place. I did not sample the goods, but only because I was not in the mood. This has got to be the best place in San Jose. Excellent selection of about 15 chicas. Zero pressure (unlike the hard sell at the Marlin). A very tight ship. Roberto is the man. Open every day until midnight, but not Sunday (damn, damn, damn). Well, Im gonna hafta come back... thats all there is to it.

Arrived at the world famous Park Hotel at about 830... the place is smaller than I imagined. Its kinda seedy, and it was a very slow night (not even every bar stool was taken). Imperials for 750 calones. Bill, the owner, collected 6,000 calones from each patron at about 930, we watched all 48 seconds of the Tyson fight, and the show FINALLY started at about 1030. Seven chicas... three that I would do. A must see lesbiana spectacular in San Jose. Three rules... you must participate, no penetration, and no photos. I won the free blow job afterward (because I had collected a bunch of tickets from other gringos who had left), but I gave it away to a guy I met there who seemed more into it than me... which prompted a lot of joking about me giving him a free blow job. I actually took home one of the girls from the Park (the most petite). I was tired, and all I really wanted was some company. Instead of negotiating everything up front, which is the safest course, we did the opposite and negotiated nothing at all. We stopped and got something to eat around midnight... very dangerous out there at night... you can actually watch the desperate as they case you... taxis only. Well, she was a 27 year old tica (8,7,9). BBBJ but no DATY and little sexo (she had some kind of medical, painful situation down there, which might explain why such a cutie is working at the Park Hotel). However, it was a total GFE... very tender. So nice. She asked for nothing... I gave her 30,000 calones.

On Sunday morning it is not so easy to get action. The Marlin is 24|7, but come on.... Walked to 747 (closed) and New Fantasy (closed)... ended up back at Arte y Sauna, which opened at 11 am. About five chicas to choose from, including two or three nice ones. Chose a 20 year old tica (8,7,7) for 15,000 calones. CBJ, full service, besitos only. 5,000 calones tip.

OK... I know Ive overpaid a bit, and I apologize for not helping to keep the prices down... but I did not come here to save money. I make pretty good money in the states, and these ticas need it more than I do. I have limits too, but Im not going to haggle with a fruit vendor in the street... so what if they charge me double (TWO dollars instead of one)... good for them and good for me.

I will file a concluding report upon my sad return tomorrow. Thanx again to all of the senior members who have posted such incredibly helpful information here at the WSG. I understand that a guy named Jackson is the WSG master and that he lives in Buenos Aires (or so the legend was told at the Park Hotel)... if that is so, thank you Jackson... your site is THE best.

Keep it safe and legal,

Tanager

The Best Western Hotel is located in a very bad part of town. I would advise everyone not to stay there. Panadero

Hey Tanager,

Good report!! Were you the guy in the gray shirt from Gainesville. I was the guy at the Park Hotel that told you about Jackson and the Thanksgiving party in Buenos Aires. Glad to hear you won the free BJ, with my luck it was probably the ticket I gave you. The place really emptied out quickly after the show. I left just as the girls were coming back into the bar. Which one did you end up with? Was it the one with dark hair, nice tits, and thin legs or was it the toned blonde with small tits and a great bunda? Inquiring minds want to know.

I went back to the Blue Marlin after the show and hooked up with a nice 22 year old local. I would rate her a 8,8,9. I may do her again but with so many to chose from probably not. Ha!Ha!

Again great report and I agree with you on everything. I think I will give the Arte y Sauna a try.

astroglide

Panadero, thanks for the info I wanted to know what other hotels would be better to stay in. I am looking for something safe but still within mongering distance. Any info would be great. Thanks.

hey kozak, the best western DT is very chica friendly no fee, don't worry to much about the neighborhood , i've stayed there twice and haven't had any problems!!! i'll be there again in June......i always think i'm gonna stay somewhere else....but i always go back the the BWDT.....they have a really great staff!!! good luck & have fun ........the rabbit

gentlemen,

yeah, astroglide, that was me, and i left with “the one with dark hair, nice tits, and thin legs.” ana is her name, i think. she was so sweet, in a jaded sort of way... like me i guess. was that a good time or what? that skinny gringo old-salt biker “ben” strongly recommended the other one too, “the toned blonde with small tits and a great bunda.” i believe her name is diana. i forgot to mention earlier... the park hotel show is especially great if you happen to like feet, because they start and finish by dancing on the bar. in between, they do everything else on the bar. the park girls were not so bad... and their attitudes are so much better than the pros at the blue marlin.

i agree with the posts from wanderlust1; if you like them a little bit chubby, especially in the belly and upper hips, with big generous tetas, then costa rica will truly be your paradise. i like ‘em tight and petite myself, which i think tends to drive up the price a bit (supply and demand). i was a very happy man in asia, but there is plenty of skinny happiness to be found in costa rica as well.

but dude, your friend who gets a thrill from taking risks at night in the barrios... like mom used to say... it’s all fun until somebody gets hurt. it’s not a game to them. i guess he can keep the sharks interested while i visit with the mermaids. you bait ‘em long enough and you’ll get bit.

comparison to nuevo laredo: there is a greater variety of girls in san jose. san jose is a much more interesting little city, and the prices are roughly equivalent. plus, for me, it's actually cheaper to get to san jose. maybe more english spoken in nl. i’ve had some excellent times in nl, but i’ll take san jose for the variety. i’ve got to check out dr now.

i just got back from cr (monday evening). i can tell you that your options are limited on a sunday afternoon. having already done arte y sauna that morning, i headed back to the blue marlin after walking all over san jose. (i think it’s safe to walk pretty much all around during the day, just keep your wits about you and walk like you know what the hell you're doing). took a double dream team back to the prez; a long and lean, blonde nicaraguan, 20 years old (8,8,8, “ilea”) and the petite brunette columbiana (9,9,7, silicon, “mare”) that i mentioned in the previous post (to my taste, the best at the blue marlin). the nica responded very nicely, but the awesome columbiana was a little too much the pro. they basically promised me the world at the bar, but as the deed was done, i had to re-negotiate a bit. still... i can die a happy man now. cbj, besitos (little kisses, but not real kisses), daty with the nica, multiple positions with each, and some very nice team work. check that fantasy off. i admit i paid too much again... they started at 40,000 calones each... we left on 30,000 each, but i tipped them 10,000 each. about 90 minutes in the room (i could have spent the rest of my life there).

good cheap food and flowers: exit the prez and turn right and walk one block and turn right and walk one block and you will find a very little restaurant on the corner with the word “sandwiches” on the windows. i’m not sure it is the cleanest place in the world, but you can get a great plate of food there fast for about 750 calones ($1.96). i had rice with a sort of beef stew. you could throw a baseball and hit arte y sauna from there. also, just up the avenida 2 from there, there are more flowers for sale (much closer than the flower market i mentioned in the previous post).

i also forgot to mention that there was a small fridge in my junior suite at the prez. next time i think i’m gonna get the very nicest room they have on the sixth floor (the top)... it’s only maybe ten dollars a night more, and why not live like a prince for a few days on vacation? plus, like women everywhere, the chicas practically can’t help but respond to luxury.

sunday evening i finally made it to the legendary key largo. unfortunately there was no live music on sunday, but it’s still a must see just for the architecture and detailing on the inside. some nice chicas in there too. maybe a little darker in general.

for my final experience i took another columbiana from the blue marlin. this 20-year- old, long and lean girl looked exactly like brandi, the african-american pop singer, except with silicon. long hair in tiny braids, probably a weave, (9,9,8 “camilla”) a rapper’s dream. cbj, besitos only, multiple positions. this girl was definitely into the daty. she nearly hurt me crushing her little man into my mouth. i paid her $100 plus 10,000 calones. again about 90 minutes in the room.

i like lacsa, but only because i am currently having a love-affair with all things costa rica. supposedly they have the most modern fleet in the americas, but they are not famous for being on time or for routing luggage. if you have to make a connection (which i did not), you may want to consider another airline.

ok, maybe i’m just a fool, but it sure seems to me that the girls start with some rules in their head, but if you play your cards right, you can get them to respond despite themselves. in other words, play to the gfe, and you have a much better shot at getting the gfe. after all, they are only human... chat them up as much as possible, treat them well, if you take them back to your room give them some chocolate or cookies or grapes or whatever (a lot of times they are hungry), go slowly at first, warm them up, let them realize that you really don’t want anything from them that they are not comfortable giving... and suddenly... they’re pulling you toward them with both hands and it’s all access.

again, i apologize for paying too much, and i promise to take my generosity to idem next time. i agree that idem must be “the best bang for the buck.”

i realize now, of course, that i am living in the wrong country.

three questions: when does the rainy season begin and end? does it typically rain all day or just in the afternoons? how much do the prices fall in the rainy season?

tanager

Tanager,

Listen to yourself. First of all, i'm glad you had fun. Second, you get all the information from people from this site and then you break the number one rule of overpaying? Just because you're well off? What does that do to everyone on this site? What if there were ten of you goofballs doing the same thing. You're a leech and anyone who disagrees with me is a hypocrite.

NYGuY,

You’re criticism is fair and on the mark. I apologize for overpaying, because that is the beginning of ruining a good thing for my fellow travelers, who have been so generous with their information. In fact, I’m NOT really well off (to say the least), and I am greatly pressed for time because I am running my own business here in the states. With very limited vacation time, I guess I felt I had to spend more to get what I wanted fast... but that is only an excuse and certainly no justification.

To make amends, I can only promise to try and correct this mistake in the future by, for example, taking my business to reasonably-priced venues such as IDEM and Arte y Sauna.

You are right. Please accept my apologies.

Tanager

Hoping Someone could help answer a few questions.

First time Poster here, I have posted to the Cuban board before and would be happy to give any information on Havana.

I am looking into a trip to San Jose, and in researching the Del Ray and Presidente, I have noticed that they are in the center of the city.

How are the beaches in the area are they easy to get to from the hotels?

Is there any action to be had on the beach?

One of the great feelings about being in Havana is that you know you can pretty much have any woman you want if you take the initiative to approach her, is the situation in San Jose at all similar?

Finally what is the best time of year for hobbying down there?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

havahopeful

San Jose is inland. It is hours from the beach. Look at the posts in Jaco and Quepos. Those are beach towns.

Havahopeful:
Take a look at (http://communities.msn.com/adayatthedelrey)it will show you much about San Jose.

Thanks for the information, and sorry about the stupid question about the beach, I saw the map right after I posted.

The Del Ray and the Presidente both sound great, I didn't see mention of a pool at either, I would think it would be nice to cool off and hang out with chicas around, is this possible?

I assume guests at these hotels are no problem per previous posts, but are girls hanging out there all the time or is most hunting done at other venues?

Finally, the idea of brining some chicas to the beach with me for 2 days sounds very appealing, does anyone have a reference for costs that can be expected?

My Spanish is sufficient to hold a decent one on one conversation.

Sorry for all the newbie questions.

HavaHopeful,

"I assume guests at these hotels are no problem per previous posts, but are girls hanging out there all the time or is most hunting done at other venues?"

That's the main difference between the Del Rey and the Prez. The Blue Marlin is on the first floor of the Del Rey, and the top-of-the-line action (and price) is 24/7 right on site. Ten dollars extra fee to the hotel for every chick you take up the elevator.

The Prez is two short blocks away. Walkable even at night. Just sign the girls in at the desk (in a special book they keep on the end of the desk facing the door). No fee.

El Prez es mas tranquilo... plus a delicious breakfast included.

Tanager

HavaHopeful,

Also, no pool at the Prez, and no chicas hanging around available in the Prez. There is a jacuzzi on the roof of the Prez which can be reserved in the evening. I don't think there is a pool at the Del Rey either, but you're right, that would be pretty nice.

Tanager

No pool at the Del Rey. You have to pay $10 for ***EACH*** girl you bring to your room, and they have to leave their ID (recommend you look at it if there is ANY doubt about their age). A lot of your questions could be answered by doing a search or simply reading the posts going back a few months. The Del Rey has hookers there, plenty of 'em. Casino there too. Do NOT let the girls talk you into taking them into the casino area.

Does anyone know if you can take girls from TangoIndia to your hotel?

If I arrive at 10:30PM in SJ, is there still some type to place to go to like IDEM that late. NEW FANTASY is closed by 9PM.

For one night I will be in transit in SJ at Marriott (arriving at 10:30PM), any suugestions.

Thanks in advance. You can e-mail me at wow@socal.rr.com or post here.

You are saying you are only there for one night and arriving at 10:30 PM? Then fuck the Marriott and stay at the Del Rey. If your flight gets in at 10:30 you should be all checked in and showered by midnight = perfect.

Dickhead:

It is part of a tour, so no choice about hotel or time. Therefore I will be spending three nights at the end of the tour in SJ. That night I just wanted to "activate" my dick before I return to SJ in ten days. Any suggestion appreciated.

Sorry, don't know how late IDEM is open but I'm sure some else does and will post the info right quick. If you get in a hurry, just hit the Del Rey and drag out the first three or four gals you see.

DH

Dickhead:

Would girls from KL or BM travel to Marriott (about 7 miles). Does anyone know a place like IDEM which is open until past midnight. Thanks in advance.

Can't find lump's map on costaricasec.com site. Does anyone know what happened to it.

Update for my post on the Costa Rica Escort Site.

Background:
Joined Feb. 11, posted initial impressions on Feb 12. Only about 20 ladies on the site. Best is a 7. Sent emails to 5 ladies, so far there is no response.

Update:
After 2 weeks of no response from any of the ladies selected, I sent an email to the costaricaescorts site owner, and they referred me to Venus Soul. Venus said she could arrange something for me, but it would be $250 per day. We negotiated a couple of times and I stopped at $125, and Venus is at $225.

Venus told me for $125 that I should go the Blue Marlin and possibly get ripped off by the druggies and bad ladies that work there. Didn't anyone ever tell her it is not good to bad mouth the competition? Especially since the competition has a much better track record than sites like hers?

I have since told Venus that I would not spend more than $150 per day for a lady. If she wants me as a customer and they want my money that is what I am willing to pay. Venus hasn't responded.

A couple of observations:
1. The website says you arrange dates directly with the ladies to avoid pimping. Results so far, NOT TRUE.

2. They don't collect fees from the ladies. MAYBE NOT, BUT THEY NEGOTIATE FOR THE LADIES AND YOU CAN'T ACCESS THEM.

Hopefully my posts on this escort site will stay around and other men will read them before spending their $55 for one month membership.

Consider the bullet taken and reported. If anyone has any questions put them out here, and I will answer them for you. My membership expires in about a week and a half, so ask quick.

Real

Havahopeful:
With your Spanish and a good attitude you should have no problem finding a girl to go to the beach with you for under $200 a day.
Guest or free at the hotel president and $10 each at the hotel Del Rey. You will find dozens of girls at the Del Rey from 9am -5am daily. There will not be much at the President. But the hotel Del Rey is only 100 yards away. Theres no pool at either hotel.
Feel free to ask questions.Dickhead is right about reading all old post. There is much information there but not all of it is 100 percent right and keep in mind some have their personal agendas and issues.

The girls from the Blue Marlin will be happy to go to the Marriott . I cannot help with IDM but most places like that closed about midnight. There is a link to the map at [url]http://communities.com/adayatthedelrey.or[/url] [url]http://lumpsluvscostarica.homestead.com/map.html[/url]

I will be going to San Jose in the next couple of months.
I was wondering if anybody has ever stayed at the Heminway Inn in San Jose? Do they allow women to be brought into the rooms? Are they ho friendly? Or just might stay at the Del Ray!

While there's no pool at the Presidente, there is a rooftop Jacuzzi that you can reserve for private fun with your chica(s).

real-thrill:

Thank you so much for enlighting us. Now we know these rip-off escorts services are rip-offs. Keep us posted. My hats off to you for sharing with us.

Tasty1, IDEM is open every day but Sunday until midnight. Be sure to ask for the owner Roberto. Also check out http://www.dongordo.com and http://lumpsluvscostarica.homestead.com/map.html.

Real-Thrill, Thanx for the warning.

T

Sauce,
The Hemingway is not guest friendly but is in a nearby location. Cab at night as usual is mandatory there. No Hos.
Try the available Del Rey. Action central.

I saw that you can get a jacuzzi at the President I have rooms booked for May and didn't see anything on their site how the charge does any one know?

What other places are there (other than BM and KL) to pick girls to take to your room? Can you take girls from places like IDEM to your hotel room? Any help appreciated.

this is a long winded and verbose trip report. i enjoyed it and hope you do too.

this was my first trip to costa rica since i was 13. now this was not my first mongering trip as i’m a veteran of asian travel for over 20 years. let me just preface this with the fact that my spanish sucks. all my negotiations were in english, if they didn’t speak it or have a friend translate it, it wasn’t going to happen. i know, my loss. on my next trip i will know spanish.

i was supposed to start on february 14th but with the impending blizzard on the way to the dc area i decided to start this trip a day earlier. god i love these buddy passes. well as it turns out a lot of other people had the same idea and i wasn’t able to get out of dc until after noon which was 4 hours past the connecting flight to sjo and had to spend the night in atlanta and try to catch my original flight to sjo.

leaving atlanta wasn’t that easy either the plane had an instrument malfunction and an hour delay on the tarmac. finally made it to sjo on saturday about 3:30 along with 4 other flights. sjo immigration really sucks (especially when a couple of flights are late and come in with others) and took another hour to get through that. i was picked up at the airport by my uncle who moved there 30 years ago, who somehow thought i wanted to have a party at his house with all my cousins. although enjoyable, there goes another 4 hours. finally get to the del rey at 8, check in with no problems. i got an inside room on the 5th floor, was very quiet and dark when i wanted to sleep. i unpacked my bags, pulled out my regalos for the girls. i like the perfume white diamonds so i bought a dozen small spray bottles under $10 each from a local discount store

1st night i pick up this beautiful panamanian girl named leah at the bm, body and face about a 9 kind of a britanny spears wannabe, she said she was 19. her breasts looked great but soon found out that her miracle bra was working overtime. doesn’t matter to me as i’m a leg and ass man anyways and she had all that going too. she wouldn’t come down off the $100 mark but it was my 1st night and i had won $300,000 colones on the tute table (4 of a kind baby and she barely qualified with an ak). gave her the white diamonds to use. very good in bed, coverd bj, not too much gfe but hung around a bit afterwards to raid the mini bar. was a good experience. took a couple pictures of her clothed.

2nd day, again a winner on the tute table not as big but enough to pay for mi amore for the evening. i had been watching this beautiful blonde sitting at a table in the front of the sports book area from the tute table. this woman was gorgeous, the best looking woman i saw the whole 10 days there a definite 10+. i’m pretty sure her name was lalayla (not sure of nationality) but others on the site tell me that her name was lacey, i’m positive she was introduced to me as lalayla by an american guy i had met at the tables. anyways, she has playboy looks, tall, great rack (store bought), great legs and ass. she spoke english as well as i did. she too quoted $100 but i wanted her and didn’t bother to haggle as i wanted her bad. we got to the room gave her the white diamonds to use. she gave me a little strip show to some spanish mtv show on the tube. gave great bbbjtc and swallow. then she wanted to have sex. so after a regroup and some gfe snuggling we got busy. she was great in bed. we were up in the room about 2 hours. was very photogenic.

3rd day i went on a canopy tour at san lorenz. if you haven’t done it, it is such a rush, especially the last four lines. a definite must for any trip to cr. after a shower went over to new fantasy, did an hour with jasmine. not much to look at, spoke no english but gave a great message 45 minutes and bbbjtc with a swallow. price was $12,000 colones. went to casino, treaded water for 3 hours and broke even but up about 8 bavaria’s. looked around the bm for something interesting but nothing tripped my trigger. went looking for my playboy blonde but she was nowhere to be found. decided to just go to bed.

4th day went on a solo walking tour of san jose. not a recommended thing to do, too many hills, 85 degrees, 80% humidity, street signs are limited, each barrio has their own sets of streets, and some neighborhoods are pretty dangerous looking. after 3 hours of being lost i ended up in front of new fantasy, what luck. i went in looking for wanda but she was busy, picked a nice looking girl name hali <sp?> not that good of a massage but good bbbj and nice sex. price 12,000 colones. went back to the del rey took a power nap and hit the bm. looked for my playboy blonde, not there. went over to key largo and hung out there for awhile. while sitting at the bar i met illiana, 28, black hair and a little on the heavy side but sexy lips and tongue. i wasn’t really interested but she said $40 for sex and bbbj she didn’t even start at $100 or anything like that. couldn’t beat that price so took her up on it. sex was ok, body was 6-7, and attitude was good until the end. finished with bbbjtc (not her choice) and spit and choke j. wanted me to tip another $40 for the spit and choke but i refused. she left, i did give her the perfume though before she left.

5th day, went on the 4 en 1 tour, all day, 6am wake up and all. well worth the money especially the riverboat tour. saw crocks, toucans, iguanas and monkeys. all the good stuff. this tour ended up being 14 hours and i was beat when i got back. took a power nap and went down to the bm and saw this cute blonde columbian with braces. must be a sale on braces in cr, a lot of girls have them. anyways, her name was claudia spoke english pretty well. negotiated down to $70. got to my room took some clothed pics. got her undressed and she was even better looking without clothes, definitely no signs of bambinos. nice firm, natural tits with great nips. gave a covered bj but the sex was great. very energetic, liked all positions. hung around snuggling, talking, watching some spanish variety show and raiding the mini bar. gave her the white diamonds and a tip.

6th day, slept in til noon went to new fantasy, wanda was busy again so i took jasmine again. still just as good as the 1st time. went back to the del rey and played a little tute and then went to dinner with my uncle. came back rested up and hit the key largo, not much happening there. went back to bm looked for my playboy blonde, where oh where did she go? i was going to ask her to go with me to jaco the next day, i wanna see that bod in a bikini. hung out at the doorway by the phone you can see all the girls making their laps around the bar. hung out there for about and saw nothing that interested me until claudia came by again, whooo she was wearing these low slung hip huggers, so low the pubs were peeking out over the top. we bs’d a little and she wanted to go with me again. i said only if she does a bbbj i would do it and we settled on the $70 price again. she agreed and boom, boom, boom off to my room. we sat around, talked, ordered room service, ate, and watched tv. we didn’t even start to have sex for 2 hours, she kept her promise on the bbbj. it was good but the sex was even better this time. i asked her to go to jaco with me but said she couldn’t but would spend the rest of the night with me if i wanted. i asked her how much and she said just give me whatever you thinks was fair. she spent the night but fell asleep in 10 minutes, lol but woke me up to a nice present.

7th day, we got up had breakfast and she went on her way. i went upstairs and packed up for my trip to jaco. someone recommended that i stay at the cocal, what a dump, went to the room the bed spread was stained, air conditioning didn’t work, it just sucked and for $98 a night. i went and got my money back and started walking down the street suitcase in tow to find another hotel when i happened across this travel agency who hooked me up with the best western. same price, all the food and drink is included although they do have a $25 guest fee. went to the beatle bar not as good of talent there as the bm but you gotta do what you gotta do. picked up a nica there, unmemorable experience can’t even remember her name. btw, the beatle bar is an open air bar and it is pretty muggy there day and night especially when it’s packed.

8th day, hung out at the beatle bar all day with all the local expats and around 3 oclock moved on to a little bar down the road past the best western where i met this beautiful dark haired columbiana named jaicinda who was the bartender. pretty face, great smile, green eyes, small boobs but a great butt and speaks pretty good english. when we left the bar i gave her my business card with my room number at the bw on it and asked her to stop by when she got off and i’d take her out to dinner. i didn’t think she would but thought i’d give it a try. low and behold, my room phone wakes me out of a deep drunken sleep/power nap at 8 to jaicinda’s voice saying she is in the lobby. i quickly brush my teeth and comb out the bed head. i go out there and meet her and bring her to the room so i can change and go out for dinner, i talk my way out of the $25 guest fee promising that i was just going to bring her there while i changed instead of leaving her in the lobby. i change and we are off to dinner. don’t know where we went but the civeche was great and they had my favorite dessert tres leches. it was good conversation, like a real date. she not a working girl we just hit it off at the bar. we went to a rock club across the street from the beatle bar then we went to the disco at the bw and i paid the $25 guest fee. we danced until the disco closed. it was fun night. i was going to take her home but she said she wanted to stay the night. well, that’s free piece i got on the trip. very sweet, not as experienced but good nonetheless.

9th day, spent the day at the bw pool with jaicinda, she looks great in the bikini i bought her (i guess it wasn’t free) then back to the del rey. cruised the bm for my playboy blonde but nowhere to be found. picked up a pretty dark skinned dominicana name jani again with braces for $50 but the whole time she complained that her pussy hurt from too many guys. real turn off. i gave up after 15 minutes. my one and only dud. i went down later on and ran into claudia again. i had to have someone i knew would get the job done. she definitely knows what to do. she spent the night again, ate breakfast and then off to the states.

even though i did a repeat and a threepeat and had a dud. i had a great time. i’ve already received e-mails from jaicinda (note to self, don’t give out business card with e-mail address on it). i plan to go back in july. i will go back and do claudia again, why not go for a good thing. i will still look for my playboy blonde. it’s not as cheap as bk or angeles but it also isn’t a 20 hour flight.

pura vida,

snooky

Snooky could you provide the names of the tours that you used?
[email]willysp@direcway.com[/email]. I am off for my frist trip to CR in mid May, and beside the women I wanted to try some of the tours.

They were all done at the Del Rey travel desk, not sure of the tour agency but I did the 4 in 1 tour and the canopy tour at San Lorenz. Both highly recommended. Snooky

Thanks Snooky I will check them out when I get there

Thanks for the info lotsafun

Hotel Park Show - Bar Idem

Well, I've heard about this for years, their "Lesbo Show" on Friday and Saturday nights. I went last week, and am glad I did.

I guess the starting time varies, depending on how many people you have. We stopped at 5:30pm or so, to find out when the start time was. We were told 8:30pm, but to get there at 7:30pm to get a "good" seat.

I had been wanting to check out Bar Idem for a looooooong time, so we grabbed some KFC quickly near Parque Central, and then walked down to Bar Idem.

Don Gordo has been raving about it for a long time, and the last time I was in San Jose, I went there at noon when they were closed. I ended up going to Eros across the street and was only 1/2 satisfied.

We got there and got some drinks. (The most expensive I've seen in CR. About $2.50 for a Coke). But the view was amazing. About 20 girls, all lined up in their chairs against the wall.

I talked to Roberto, and after I had cooled off from the walk, I had him introduce them all to me. It seemed about 45% Tica, 45% Nica and a Columbian and something else thrown in.

I got to meet the lovely Karla, and decided to take her upstairs. Cost is 16,000 colones.

We took a very nice shower together, and Karla was soaping up all the right places.

When we got back to the room, she asked what I wanted to do, and I opted for a short massage to relax me.

She has a really nice body, and I sucked her nipples and then when down south for some seafood. Que sabor!

Then she gave me a very nice BBBJ. She definitely doesn't like any come in her mouth, but I gave her fair warning, and all was well.

I'd rate her body an 8, and her attitude a 9, skill an 8 also. Very pleasant, and takes requests nicely.

My poor buddy was left downstairs sucking on a beer. Nothing worse than watching 20 delicious babes for an hour or so.

It was now after 8pm. I was afraid I'd miss the Hotel Park show, so we caught a taxi and got there at 8:15pm or so.

One of the guys at the Park said something about not letting my buddy in since he was a Tico. We went in anyways, and nobody said anything else.

The Park is a fairly old hooker bar I'm told. There are about 12-18 girls in there all the time I was there. Ranging from a 5-8 in looks.

8:30 goes by. 9:00. 9:30. 10:00. Bill finally comes around and collects the 6,000 colones, but doesn't give us raffle tickets. After about 20 minutes of reminding him, I finally get ours.

The show FINALLY starts at 10:30 or so.

8 girls walk out onto the bar, in bikinis. They put towels down on the bar. Everyone gets a small bottle of baby oil. Then the girls start gyrating to the music. Then the tops come off. Then the bottoms.

We' encouraged to rub lotion all over the girls. Real fun!

Then all the girls pair off and go down on each other. You're encouraged to keep rubbing that lotion in.

After that the girls dance in front of you, and give you some special attention. Then the girls get down on the bar again and use a double headed dildo on each other.

I help out by shoving it back and forth into the two girls in front of me.

After they're done with that, Bill pushes my mouth into the pussy of the girl in front of me. Not one to pass up such an invitation, I dive in.

Now I move down the line of other girls, and sample a nipple here, a pussy there. I oil up all 8 of the girls.

I'm just starting to grope the last one when the show ends (25 minutes?).

About 1/2 an hour after the show is over, they have the drawing for the free blow job. The first number drawn has already left the bar. He lost out!

However, the second time is the charm, and I win! Since Karla has tired me out quite a bit, I give it to my buddy and he disappears up stairs for at least an hour. (I think he upgraded the BJ).

The 8 dancers varied from a 19 year old looking girl (7.5 on looks), to a 40 year old (5 looks). I'd say there were 3 very nice ones, 3 so-so, and 2 past their prime. One even looked 4-5 months pregnant.

An exciting Friday night at the Bar Idem and the Park Hotel!

Was passing thru San Jose the other night and thought i'd check out the Blue Marlin for old times sake. Hadn't been there in a while (2 years).
It was a Tuesday night at about 11pm ... the quality was good as far as looks go ... but damn, most of these girls are "hard", personalities of ice.
Colombians in the Blue Marlin are nothing like the hunnies in Colombia and the prices ... GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!
Please! All of you that paid these ridiculous prices and ran the price up (even the ugly girls start at $100 now) ... PLEASE stay in Costa Rica and the US!!!!!! Don't go ruin all the other countries too!!
Unbelievable to pay a girl with the personality of a rock the prices they ask, I don't care how nice looking she is!

Remember ... south america is DANGEROUS!! DON't GO!!
Please don't go down and "gringoize" all the other hot spots.
STAY in COSTA RICA!!! YOU CAN HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you Ricker. A lot of these clowns pay the high prices cuz they "can." Ruins it for the rest of us. They do it everywhere, not just CR...they do it in the States too. I have more to say, but I should stop before some of you really get offended.

I'm tired of hearing people ***** and moan about the price of tail in CR! Let's break it down to what it would cost to get a non pro in bed - dinner movie etc = 100+ several times depending on the girl and your still not guaranteed to blow a nut. Shell out 100 and your guaranteed a nut as well as a bbbj most of the time. If you can't afford the 100 you should'nt be on vacation in CR.

Hope not to offend anyone but Whitedog misses the whole point of not paying the high prices and running up the price of pro-chicas in San Jose or any where else for that matter.
If he or guys like him don't "get it" by now, i won't even try to explain it. Trying to compare the price of a a chica in San Jose to his dates back home in the U.S. is ridiculous.
As for "vacationing" in San Jose, don't worry, i won't be returning and i think you and your over-paying pals have ruined that for quite a few others too.
Please - please - please !!!!! Continue all your vacations in Costa Rica though ... let's keep the rest of the world real. Thanks.

I do get it! The average worker in Costa Rica makes practically nothing in comparison to the girls. The issue is does that worker spread their legs for every old fat dude. It's all about supply and demand and if they can get the 100 bucks good for them.

Have fun in El Salvador or the other holes you may be talking about being uncorrupted -just make sure not to drink the water or walk the streets.

Economics 101.
Time to put this $100 issue a way. I am a frequent visitor to San Jose. First trip 1997. Last trip February 2003. Have Economic background. I'm going to create you an economic model of prostitution in San Jose. To set the model first fact is in February 1997 Key Largo was the big place. Asking price was 100 - quickly down to lowest 40 with some negotiation. Blue Marlin was only one-half the size it is now. Starting price was 100 but would take 60 with no fuss. Quality of the girls at each the same. It was the same girls. Difference in price - customer expectations. Other than the Blue Marlin and Key Largo they were places like Bar Idem and the park Hotel. Prices at these places were 20 to $40. Quality of the girls did not compare with the girls and Key Largo and Blue Marlin. Yes that is an opinion.
Over time 'with the help of the Internet' the prospect of making up to $300 a night at the Blue Marlin attracted more and better looking girls. The Blue Marlin doubled its size and for a number of reasons Key Largo lost its prestige e. With more and better looking girl showing up at the Blue Marlin and the Key Largo losing its traffic that displaced the marginal girls. The displaced girls begin to show up at places like the Park Hotel and Bar Idem. Much improving the quality for the girls and the value of the price. There are other contributing factors such as the troubles escort agencies are having.
The driving force in my model is price. As the price rises the quality of the girls rises. If you disagree with me on the quality and price issue take a look at my site ([url]http://groups.msn.com/adayatthedelrey[/url]). The girls from 97 ,98 and 99 or nice looking but do not compare to the girls of the last three years. Over that time I have paid the same price. The quality of the girls at the less priced places has increased the same. If it was not for the hundred dollars many of the girls you see at the blue Marlin would not even be in our economic model. So if you're $100 guy go to the blue Marlin if you're not do not complain you have many other markets in San Jose that will answer to your price.

Just returned from a week in CR... my family lives in San Jose and I have been going there since I was little. This was my first trip as a hobbiest. I ditched my 75 y/o aunt and had a long walk around San Jose.
First thing... Do not do what I did and walk around alone in downtown at night . I am hispanic, speak perfect spanish and weigh 230lbs. Downtown is FULL of unsavory types and not all of them are Americans! :) Several tourists have been mugged and/or beat up in the last few months. Taxis are dirt cheap and all interesting entertainment venues should be less than 700 Colones ($2) from any downtown hotel and 1000 Colones ($3) from most outlying resort hotels.
Prostitution is legal and well established in CR and has always be so, so you are less likely to be ripped off than in the US or Tijuana.
The easist fixed point to navigate from at a distance is the Downtown Holiday Inn. Most Hobbyest points are within 10 blocks of this reference point. The main problem for navigation is that San Jose has never had the need for numerical addresess or street signs, so addresses are hard to find. This map posted by others is invaluble for getting around downtown:
[url]http://lumpsluvscostarica.homestead.com/map.html[/url]

The tall Holiday Inn Building is #40 on the map and is visible from just about everywhere.
Went to Key Largo last Sunday and Tuesday. Generaly quiet. Sex rooms are available upstairs but the 15-25 girls were only from a 4-7 so I walked to the Del Rey/Blue Marlin only a block away (south then east past a small casino so relatively safe).
Del ReyHotel/Blue Marlin Bar was full of women of every shape and size both nights. From a 3 to a 9 were available. Stayed for several hours both nights. More then 50 women from all over latin America.
Did not find what I was looking for either night (my Aunt would be unhappy if a brought home a pro, I think) but talked with lots of women in Spanish both nights. They are mainly students, secretaries or whatever and alot of them have a sad/ mechanical attitude about what they do. The thing they seem to hate most is the drunk loud guy. A few of them said that guys have gotten mad with them because THEY had whiskey dick and acted like it was the girl's fault. Those women told me they will run away from any intoxicated Gringo from now on.
I twice saw security gently remove drunk 20-somethings and deposit them outside. Talked with several guys and was able to negociate $100, $100 and $80 for the whole night until 9am for three of them, with the girls they were interested in. The hardest part for the guys seemed to be from them to tell me what they wanted me to ask the girls to do!
The only 10 I saw both nights at BM was a tall WAITRESS with blonde hair. She dodged my question when I asked what she was doing after work, so I am unsure about her working status. The best Pro I saw was a ~33 y/o Columbian brunette named Laura who sits at the corner of the bar under the big boat for sale. She had a great attitude, smile, tits, brains and class with an awsome body for her age. The guy I fixed her up with ($100 all night) sang her praises the next time I saw him and ended up getting her for a second night.
IDEM/Eros are across the street from each other one block east and 5 blocks south from the DR/BM through a very tough area. Both were closed at 10pm on sunday and tuesday when I went by. But went by an awsome asian restaurant called Tin Jo 100 yards from IDEM/Eros that has food from every asian country (India, Japan, Thai, China, etc.) with high class decor (at normal American prices, however)
Finally, the strip clubs in San Jose allow you to get VERY thorough lap dance with fingers/tounges anywhere for $10- $20. Olympus was the best when I was there 4 years ago. My, soon to be married, Cousin is going to have his bachelor party at either Babes or Pitufos strip clubs but have not seen them personally.
As to the issue of price...In all the countries I have hobbied in, (6 of them) a polite, to the point guy will be able to negociate cheaper, longer lasting sessions than the loud obnoxious Gringo, any day. Places I have visited with heavy tourist traffic, St. Petersburg, Russia, Tijuana, Mex and San Jose, CR are ruined pricewise by juvenile assholes as much as overpaying.
Remember be safe and Taxis are cheap in CR!

I am moving here tempory from ************.com I am having problems getting thru. Any questions on San Jose, just ask. I am at the Del Rey. Seahawk

Anyone has phone numbers of semipros to share. Sometimes I may be too tired to hang out at BM etc. Please e-mail me. Any suggestion appreciated.

wow@socal.rr.com

Lee,

Thank you for your insightful historic/economic analysis of the market in San Jose. It is interesting to consider how the gradual inflation of prices has shaped the quality, the geography (both source of chicas and point-of-sale for chicas), and overall availability. I imagine that you are right; an increase in price at the top of the range has resulted in an increase in quality at the top of the range, with a corresponding increase in choices at the middle and lower parts of the range.

However, I still agree with NYGuY and Ricker that we should generally try to hold prices down as much as possible (because I am now well satisfied with the available quality). I bet the chicas talk together about getting the prices UP. All this collusion on prices would be an antitrust violation by both sides in the U.S., but hey... we’re talking Latina America here.

I believe there are more of them (working chicas) than there are of us (mongers), and we can take our dollars to any one of several markets, whereas the chicas are much less mobile. If we don’t overpay, we can use these advantages to maintain a more favorable pay-for-play exchange rate.

I have overpaid on occasion in the past, and I’m damn sure going to try to avoid that mistake in the future.

across69- Good report and summary of the situation. Stay relatively sober and be polite and you will get better mileage for your buck. Use common sense to get ahead...

lee- Good points. Only a fool pays the asking price at the Blue Marlin. We all know that prices for everything in Latin America are subject to negotiation. Same for most things in North America come to think about it.

Both posts have the same points. Use common sense, and use your big head to rule your little head.

I read in a travel booklet that in CR you cannot use US$100 bill because of high number of counterfit bills. Is it true?

Tasty,

Interesting issue of US currency in CR. Apparently, according to the hotel desk people who make change and accept cash to settle bills, only pristine US bills of any denomination are acceptable by their bank. They do not like any tears or missing edges at all. And do not like any marks on the bills. They will not accept them at all.

One friend had a chica reject his tender of payment because the bill had a 1/8 inch tear in the bottom edge.

Only bring crisp new new bills of any sort.

That being said, the Costa Rican colons look like they have been in a cesspool in general. They are in poor shape as a rule.

One Hundred dollar bills are very acceptable if pristine, as are all other bills.

It is easier to cash dollars for colons than change colons back into dollars, except at banks.

This is not really true if you are dealing with banks. I usually take a number of 100's and change them at a bank.

It might very well apply if you're trying to get a hotel or other retail establishment to change them.

Things to watch out for: Make sure that the bill is not torn, or have any writing or marks on it. Many banks will not accept these.

I always take the "new" $100 bills with the big picture of Franklin on them. I've had some problems with the bank not wanting the old style.

One thing to remember about banks. The lines can be a killer. Unless you're running through a lot of money, consider using an ATM to take $200-$400 per day out. I don't think that CR ATMs charge you any fee, just whatever your bank charges you in the US. You can find ATMs that dispense dollars or colones.

Many Ticos are now getting their paychecks deposited directly into their banking accounts. On a recent payday I saw 30 people lined up to use an ATM by the Burger King in Parque Central.

re money-
Bring only crisp bills in pristine condition. No red ink, no marks, no tears at all... None. US $100 are OK but most places have inadequate change. Use a casino change booth. Hotels cannot change large amounts of money for every guest. I bring lots of ones, fives, tens and twenties to pay the taxi to and from the hotel (always quoted in dollars), departure tax, tip to bellman upon registration, tip the maids upon arrival for extra towels in the room, tip the porters at the airport, buy snacks at the airport and buy duty free items at the airport.
Note- It is almost impossible to change colonies back to dollars so change only what you need.
Negotiate deals in colonies for the best advantage. It is harder for a Tica to refuse X amount of colonies for some reason. But they know the exchange rate better than you, in their heads.

To Jaimito Cartero...
I just came home from a San Jose vacation and I found a card in my wallet with YOUR name penciled in...Did I meet you there and was I so Drunk that I have no recollection of the meeting????I am drawing a complete blank.

Help me if you can.

Don Gordo

Wow, it must have been a very good vacation for you!

I saw the lovely Karla the day before you flew in. I told her to say hi to you. I had emailed you about Nicaragua before I went down in the middle of February.

A quick question. You have a picture of Anna on your page. Does she work at Idem, or??? I've enjoyed every one of your picks so far.

ATMs are everywhere in just about every country I have visited from Russia to Egypt to CR. I have had problems with even "new" 100's in other countires but not in CR. My advice to travelers in most countries, especially if you are in the major cities, is to carry little cash and use ATM's. You don't have to deal with lines, passport checks, running around to find the best rate and unpleasent exchange people.
You don't have to worry about hidding your money in your hotel room or risk carrying it on your person. Also, even with the $3-$7 ATM fee your bank will charge, you usually get a better exchange rate, as long as you get out more than the equvalent of $50 US each time. If you find a good exchange house and you exchange too much money you end up buying a whole bunch of crap in the airport on the way out trying to spend this extra currency. Finally, getting mugged or getting shaken down by cops for several hundred dollars, as happend to me in Russia, can really put a damper on your trip.

Now , I remember Karla writing your name on the back of my card...re Anna...believe it or not, you can find her afternoons at the Park Hotel.

DG

I could never understand why they accepted colones that we would sent to the incinerator long ago, but were so picky about US bills. So last May when I was there asked a banker. He said its because the US gives such a hard time if have to ship/exchange.

I've experienced the same problem with some US bills. A simple solution for the local banks would be to re-circulate them. But sooner or later they'ed look like of the colones and guess the US wouldn't touch them.

Any word on the current state of affairs. Unless things really heat up in the world, I'm planning another two-week trip in May.

DG-
Anna, the afternoon girl at the Park Hotel has always been one of my favoritas too. Let us keep her a secret.
I always see her on the afternoon of my arrival in SJO. She is a real sweetheart, and a good looker.

I saw the Friday night show there about a month ago. It was the first time I'd been to the Park. The taxi driver didn't even know where it was.

While the girls there were interesting, I'd only say that 5 out the 18 or so girls there were interesting looking enough.

I think one of the girls said that 13,000 colones was the standard girl and room charge. Is this about right? What time does Anna leave?

Jaimito C.
13000 Colonies sounds about correct. Some will agree to 10000 C but I always tip 2000 to 3000 for good service if earned. It usually is. The room is about 3500 Colonies.
Anna arrives about 12:30 PM and leaves about 6 PM. Never on Sunday. I dream about her T&A.

About the chicas in the Park show. Sometimes they are not paid in full and if you win a free BJ afterwards, remember that they are not paid much to do this so remember to tip them. If you do in advance you can get full service as well.

Some chicas in the show are overwieght, many are not 10s, but there are some real gems from time to time. Usually two or three each show. Reserve them early. Buy the girls drinks before hand and they are much friendlier during the show and afterwards...

I'm coming to San Jose for a quick stay next week. I usually just go out a few times, so don't have time to hit every place, or every girl!

I've gotten a couple of good candidates from Don Gordo and others here. Anna at the Park and Wanda at the massage place.

I'm looking for another one or two to check out while I'm there. Beauty isn't as important as great attitude and very good oral skills.

I don't stay at a hotel, so Blue Marlin girls and such are out of the picture. It doesn't matter if they're at 747 or Idem.

Thanks for the help!

Ok guys this is my first post, I come to Wsg often as I travel a lot. I'm early 30's and find this site very much usefull, I will try to make some add in other areas as well.

I was some time ago in CR for work and I had read about the Del Rey and BM so on my very first night I headed there and stay for about 2 or 3 hours, actually met a guy from my town and it was nice to talk my own language, which is not English nor Spanish. Finally I left with two girls form 120 USD both. Maybe it was even too much as it was not what I had expected. I'm fully aware that they are pros., but at the bar they somehow behaved more normally, so when we reached the hotel and they started to behave very much like pros., that disapointed me a bit, anyway it was fine and it was my first threesome. I should try it again!

I know there are some of you who want to know if it is possible to pull out a bartender from Blue Marlin, actually I do not know but I saw an Austrian guy who was at least very near to pull two of them, I didn't stay that long in that corner to see if he actually scored or not, but I guess he did.

I did score with one of them myself on the second night at Blue Marlin, but it was technically not in the BM, but from the Del Rey. So I can say I left the place with a very nice young girl and had sex for free !!!

marco, does sex for free mean you avoided talking money first and then stiffed her?

Ace 00

Just shot you an email. I cancelled my trip to BKK due to the SARS problem and have rescheduled for SJO, 14-28 Apr. I was really looking forward to the land of smiles and 10 million massage parlors, but I'll suffer through it.

Rod pipe,

No I mean that she is a bartender from Hotel del Rey BM and for sure not a professional, atleast she did not behave like that, it was more like having an affair rather than business, plus she did not at any time showed any hint of wanting something else (money) but having fun. Sorry other details about her I will keep them to myself.

O. K. marco I'm an asshole. Anything is possible with good Spanish, I guess... I'm working on it. You could probably give me some pointers on picking up latin women.
I recently spent a couple of three day streches staying at the Morazon( which is located accross the street from the Del Ray and is fully remodled and I would highly recommend) between trips to Jaco and Guanacate, and had some experiences of widely varying quality. Let me start with the low end. I picked up a nineteen year old Columbiana, very pretty slightly on the petite side. On her suggestion we smoked a joint beforehand, and this turned out to be an aid for her to block out the proceedings and she turned very uncooprative, ignoring me and just lying there while I did her. She was very tight however, and this kind of saved the situation, but the sounds she made during sex were akin to someone tolerating an uncomfortable medical procedure. As always the most pleasant and sexy girls were Ticas followed by a very nice Nica.
It the same night as the aforementioned Columbiana, I went back to the bar at the Del Ray, and had a couple beers and met a cute Tica who was maybe a 7+ petite had a long chat(english) and she gave me her cell to call her for the following night with a promise for an unrushed experience. The next day we met and had dinner, she was very afectionate during dinner and it was very date-like. Back to the Morazon we made out, did mutual massages, and her body, although she was not what you would call classicly proportioned, turned out to be great, with very firm natural breasts. The sex was great and I was glad I had chosen to call her even though I could have picked out a hotter girl at the Del Ray for the same money. The effort for her to keep up speaking English was evident, and I promised to learn some Spanish before I returned. In conclusion, even if they speak English they would rather not have to put out the effort, and that's where some of your money is going, so don't ***** about the hundred dollars especialy if your depending on thier English skills to communicate. They may be paying for lessons as this girl was.

Rodpipe, you are not an asshole, indeed knowing Spanish as fluently as I do is a help, but I look let's say European, not Latin so the girls in El Rey where quite puzzled, they approached me in English and I answer in Spanish, which is even better than their's. Anyhow, do not mess with Colombians, they just want your money and after that to get rid off you as soon as possible. Ticas are ten times better.

I do not usually go with professionals as I do not like the way they normally behave, I normally try to behave nicely with them, always tip them and do not ask for too wiered things, just normal joyful sex and I hardly get that from professionals, just only once or twice.

However the girl I met and had an affair (not business) with spoke english better than you and me, actually she has lived in the States, so that was not any inconvenience, we shifted from one language to another very easily and depending who was next to us and I repeat I did not pay a penny to have sex with her ! and she could be anything but a professional, so I feel myself lucky about having met her.

Rodpipe-

The common opinion is that if everyone pays $100, then they'll start asking for $200. Minimum wage in Costa Rica is about $1.25 an hour. Public doctors make less than $5 per hour.

I personally have never paid Blue Marlin prices. It's a personal choice. A lot of guys give way too much money so they can feel that they're not ripping a girl off, or are helping her.

I've had great service at 747 for a bit over $10. Did I tip the girl $90 to make up for the difference? Nope. I gave her a 2000 colon tip, and she was happy.

I also had one decent experience at vips 1 for 5000 colones. The girl was very nice. But this creates a situation where she's possibly doing allot of guys to earn a living and is on the fast track to HIV. I think if you pick one from the Del Ray you have a better shot at disease free. Of course there is no way to know. I did hear of a saliva strip test someone mentioned. Anybody else know of this or is it fantasy?

HIV free?

Well, it's all in the numbers, I suppose. If a girl gets screwed 20 times a day, she's more likely to have something.

However, all the girls are supposed to have a monthly medical check, I've been told.

A girl working in the Blue Marlin is not screwing many Ticos though. They're screwing all my fellow Mongers who who screwed every hole from here to Pakistan.

Who would you think more like to be a carrier?

Everyone keeps worrying about the girls being infected, but what about you guys? Try out some of those test kits on yourself. If you don't wear a condom, then you're taking a risk. And if she will do with you without a condom, she's done it with 100 other guys too.

Vips Molino Rojo isn't bad. Pretty basic rooms, but the female selection is pretty good. I haven't been to the #1 yet.

The Del Rey reminds me of people who only drink $50 bottles of wine. The did a test and replaced the wine with $4 wine, and everyone was just exclaiming about how good it was.

But it was really only $4 wine. So, it's mostly in your head. (The little or big one?)

I'm planning a "sightseeing" visit to SJ. Would like a suggestion for a good comfortable hotel in the downtown area. Doesn't have to be girl friendly.

Hotel Presidente is quite good and my favorite.

I agree with Jaimito Cartero about price controls and keeping our costs low. The Japanese have a real bad reputation these days for causing prices to go up, Americans are next. No need to spend lavisly, it will come back to haunt all of us.

Shamas

Am going for my first trip to CR next month, I don't speak Spanish - will this be a major problem? From some of the posts I have read you can get the lower prices and sometimes better service if you can speak the language.
I will be staying at the Presidente. Used to paying high prices at home and looking to get the best value for the money on this trip.
Any advice would be appreciated.

SHAMAS
Thank you for your recommendation of the Presidente. Made my reservation for next month.

SAL

Willy...Since you are staying at the El Presidente not speaking Spanish will not hinder you too much.They see many Americans and english is common to the people you will have contact with.It should not be a big issue...although you will most certainly run into a communication problem with the chicas....They understand$$ ..and believe me they can count!! Have fun...A good attitude always helps.....Mule

Sorry but I would stay at the Del Rey.

The Presidente has a new policy of only one guest at a time which means no two girls at the same time.
So if you think you want a threesome, avoid the Presidente and keep those rooms available for the many eco tourists groups... that are usually there and which stare at us hobbiests.

If you are not bringing girls to your room and using the local massage parlors etc or the quickie Asia hotel, which is around the corner from the Blue Marlin, stay at the Gran Hotel Costa Rica.

Mule69 and KYJ thanks for the advice. I am going to go ahead with the Presidente and take my chances with the guest situation. I will give details once I return.
Thanks again

Planning a return trip next month. Can anyone post the phone number or email for Hotel Morazan?


Thanks.

I get in Monday night real late, staying at the Prez, leaving the 28th. I'll do lunch at the BM sometimes and will do a few afternoons at the Park Hotel sipping on a beer. The Park does have some real nice girls at night and a few during the day, damn good bang for the buck.

Think I'll do some sight seeing outside the gulch (Northwest area and the volcanoes).

See y'all

Shamas

A friend and I are going to be at the Presidente from May 10 thru May 17. Any of you that will be there during that time period? I understand that the Presidente breakfast is a common time to meet other mongers.

Reamer

Shamas-

Just remember that the first week you're here, it's Semana Santa (Easter Week). Many places are going to be closed. Including the marvelous Fantasy Massage.

A big thanks to DG and everyone else who recommended Wanda. A warning though. If your heart is weak, do NOT see her. She'll kill ya!

At the risk of her becoming unavailable due to popularity, may I say that Danny at the New Fantasy massage is the ultimate in pleasure. She is great looking too.

I have not had the pleasure of being with Danny at New Fantasy but she is definitely on my "to-do" list right behind Wanda who will never disappoint any of you.
I will give further reports after my May 23- May 28 trip

DG

I will be at the Presidente May 9 - May 17.

Where is New Fantasy? I usually stop by Lucy's (Eros).

JC

Is New Fantasy closed all week, I was planning on hitting it Tuesday.

There's always action around, just not as plentiful.

Thanks for the heads up

Alcohol ban covers
Thursday and Friday
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Despite rumors to the contrary, Costa Rica will enforce a ban on alcohol Holy Thursday and Good Friday. These are key days in the Catholic religion, and the Ministerio de Gobernación, Policía y Seguridad Pública said that the ban was to allow the faithful to participate in religious celebrations without fear of problems generated by the sale and consumption of alcohol.

As is traditional, officers of the Fuerza Pública will seal off bars and the alcohol section of stores by midnight Wednesday.

And as is traditional, Costa Ricans will continue getting around the ban.

Bars will be physically closed with tape and Fuerza Pública stamps placed on the doors. Such establishments may not open until midnight Friday,

I get a lot of good information from this board in preparation for my first trip to San Jose.

Thanks, guys.

I am considering staying at the Hemmingway. Has anyone stayed here? Comments, please.

I will be staying at the Presidente and intend to try the New Fantasy Massage. Sounds really good. What are the normal rates and what is the regular tip for the girl. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone else.
SAL

Just the vacant ramblings of a drunken ole boy

I wonder why so little is said of the pure joys of toothless women. A BBBJ w/o teeth is a joy and wonder to besucked. You have no idea how much a set of teeth can foul up a playground. When I first meet a gal after I scope out her tits I look for the teeth, real or the gates to heaven.

Really guys, the gates to heaven.

Hay, I'm not talking about granny, but I'd do her in a pinch, they all look alike when you're looking at the top of their head.

One and a wake up till SJO time.

Shamas

Mongo-
The Hemmingway is very nice but not guest friendly.
Try the Del Rey if you want to bring a guest to your room.

Sal-
The rates are about C6000 for a half hour and C12000 for an hour. I tip about C2000 for a good time for the half hour and C3000 for a good time for an hour. Leave the tip out on the table and she gets the hint that you are generous and will usually give extra good service.

William Walker, you must be the bad gringo.

Regarding Friday, April 11:

Today is a holiday, the 147th anniversary of the Battle of Rivas in which Juan Santamaría distinguished himself by torching a building held by the forces of William Walker.

The battle, won by Costa Rican forces, is generally considered the beginning of the end for Walker, a U.S. adventurer who wanted to annex Central America to the United States.

All government offices are closed today, as is the U.S. Embassy.

Mongo,
If you're staying in the Gulch, keep in mind that there are several friendly hotels there, in addition to Del Rey. Del Rey is pretty much an institution. You also have Presidente, Hotel Morazan, (which I've tried to get info on), and I believe Hotel Balmoral. Those three are all walking distance from Del Rey.

This was my first trip to the Costa Rica. I am eternally thankful to the all "old-timers" (I mean that as a positive). However I will like to add my two colones worth as a new comer. This was my first trip to the Costa Rica and to the San Jose. So here are some observations. Please forgive me if your experiences were different.

1. Any girl working in sex services in San jose, over the age of 18 years, is a mother with at least one child. Thus you will not find one without stretch marks. Thank Pope for that (he does not believe in birth control)

2. Every P**** I had was shaved. I had 13 in a week. Some more than once.

3. If you pay before or after sex, it makes no difference to the quality of sex. A good company is a good company whether she asked for money before or not. Some girls have a hang-up if they don't get paid first. It is like "I got money, so now I can have fun." If you prefer "take in" go to New Fantasy, it is clean, price is very reasonable (12,000 col for one hour) and every girl will give you time of your life, not rushed and almost whatever you want. Had seven girls and ALL were perfect in service. Choose one who makes you horny and forget the rest.

4. For pick up and take out (fast paced) go to BM. Very good selection. Try your skills and you may get a gem. If not, you will get a good lay. But it is always crowded. You prefer little more slow pace go across the street to KL (they charge 1,000 col entry fee). Less selection, but good girls to talk and decide.

5. Almost all "take out" girls asked me if I had condoms ("Take in" places have enough condoms). As if good Catholic girls don't carry condoms. Thus take your own supply as a pack. All take in girls use oil for lubrication. I suggest take a bottle of Astroglide or other KY jelly. They will appreciate it.

6. My final comment is. Be yourself, don't drink too much, carry condoms and jelly in your pocket and always be a gentleman. Go to New Fantasy and skip all other "in places" if you want one hour of great time. For taking one to your room, go to BM (for slower action KL). Negotiate, without being cheap. All other places are dump. In Idem, I felt so disgusted (carpet was more discolored and gunky than my toilet) that I forced myself to f**k this poor gal.

7. My best experience was taking a gal from the BM. She was a beauty. No negotiations were held. We talked, went to a quiet place, went for dinner, came to hotel, had great gfe sex and I walked her over back to BM. Five hours and I gave her $150. We agreed, and she called me next day, we went to dinner, came back to the hotel and had almost three hours of sex and cuddling etc. I still miss her and would think of her for years to come.No reason, you can't enjoy same. If you need more specifics e-mail me at "wow@socal.rr.com"

8. I stayed at Presidente, mini-suite at $65, room 506. It was great with super-size king bed. It is one block from BM. I felt very safe. I say this is the place to stay unless you are walking from the BM to the Presidante at 2:00AM. It takes seven minutes to New Fantasy. Between New Fantasy and BM/KL you need nothing else but your pecker and wallet.

Happy f***ing. I am still hurting thinking of the ones I missed and the ones I had.

When this happened? Miguel is a personal friend of mine. I went there many times. My last visit was in November. I was never been charged an entrance fee.

I am glad you had a great time. But, I don't agree with few of your comments. I had at least seven girls between 18-19 years old who never experienced motherhood. Not all of them are shaved, although, I will generally agree with this point. "Idem" got several gorgous ladies, both in looks and service, that are very desirable. If you become a friend of "Roberto", he will provide you with a better room without any extra charge. You are right though that there are some rooms which are less desirable. "New Fanasy" is great but "Idem" is still the king of the brothels.

The last thing I like to do is to criticize somebody for paying $150 to a chica. As long as you know, this was way over the general going rate, including all those dinner time etc. and you spent it without being conned. I showered a 19 yr old with gifts, dinner, Champagne (Dom Perrione) filled after dinner extravaganza to celebrate her 19th birthday. It did cost me a lot that night. But I knew exactly what I was doing and I wanted to make her happy for that special moment. The funny thing was that I did not even have any session with her that night because she fell asleep the moment we entered the room. Of course, next morning was another matter. The point I am trying to make that $100 is good enough to get any chica, including columbians (most of my encounters) for whole night, which include dinner, dance and all other things. And generally they leave in the afternoon. For a short session of 2-3 Hrs, $50-60 is more than enough. Unless as I stated earlier, you want to give them more money out of generosity.

Bandy

This site is so very good and the information looks like it will prove priceless when I get to Costa Rica myself. Thank you so much for the information.

I have a few questions... I will be in CR from April 27 - May 3. I understand the May 1rst is called "International day of the Worker" is that like Labor Day and government and shops are closed? Is it true that Vitamin V is available over the counter and is completely legal? What is the price in US Dollars for Vitamin V? I am looking for a place to stay still and am looking at Pension De La Questa (http://www.suntoursandfun.com/lacuesta/) simply because of the price is right, does anyone know anything about them for visitors and hobbyists? I am sure I'll have a few more questions before I leave, and I can post about my experience in Toronto and Houston while I wait.

Thanks for the help,
Souprman

Bandy:

I was there week of April 6-13, 2003. At KL ,no more than five or six (not quality but numberwise) girls on three occsions. About 8-11PM. They were just not busy and I hated idea of having tp pay C1,000 colones for simply entering a bar.

For my sweetheart, money you give because you want to versus money demanded of you is two different things. Also no charge second night, so it comes to $75 per night. Very reasonable.

Hotel Balmoral is right across from the El Presidante. Close to everything. I do not know rates or guest fee, if any. Looked fine from outside.

New Fantasy - Danny - various reports

I saw Danny (Danielle) when I took a buddy to see Wanda. I didn't feel up to another session, but the manager (Arriana/Adriana?) talked me into a half hour with Danny.

She was fairly decent, but didn't seem to be too focused in my opinion. Her body was a bit better than Wandas, but she was still a few notches below in overall service.

Wanda was totally incredible, I have to say again. Overall, I'd rate her a 7 on looks, but a 9.8 on attitude and service.

Gentleman, before you die, you must see and experience Wanda. I almost chose someone else because Wanda was busy, but remembered Obi-Won Kenobi's advice, "Wait for Wanda". Maybe it was really DG, though!

My balls were still throbbing the next morning after Wanda. Talk about nice torture!

Everyone at New Fantasy seemed to be really friendly, and I felt really comfortable there. It's been many years since I've been to Arte Sauna (old location, actually), but New Fantasy was far better.

The Park was totally dead in the afternoon. Anna was nice (and has hair on her pussy!). I'd rate her a 6 1/2 on looks, and a 7 on service. The Park rooms are pretty rough though. A tiny bit better than Club 40 (which is pretty bad).

Speaking of the guy complaining about Idem. I saw Karla there 6 weeks ago, and I thought the room I was in (upstairs, in middle) was decent. It was better than the one I had in Eros across the street.

I'd say the worst ones I've been in are Molino Rojo and Club 40. These are still better than some I've been to in Mexico, though.

I've never heard of mongers staying at the Balmoral. I would assume there's a reason for this. I've stayed there a long time ago, and it was nothing special. I did not attempt to bring guests there.

For the person looking at the La Cuesta pension. The pricing seems good, but I would not depend on bringing any girls there. If the place is not close to the Del Rey, then they may be very hesitant to go there.

If you're looking to go to only incall places, you'll obviously have no problems.

If you just want cheap places, you can find other pensions for even less ($10-$15). I stayed at one once, but it wasn't exactly nice.

Vitamin V is same priced if you buy in US, Mexico, Canada or in Costa Rica. Anyone offering cheaper is selling fake ones. For 100 mg tabs. ( you need only 50 mg, half tab, unless you are deader than dead) it costs about 12-20 US dollars per tab. So it is $10 per 4-10 hours. I have been able to get one night and next morning worth of juice from 50 mg tab. You have to see for yourself. Please don't overdo it and NO No No Vitamin V if you are taking Nitrates fro heart. Good luck.

Hey Guys
Sorry to ask such a stupid question but, where is the New Fantasy located in regards to the Presidente Hotel. Is it within walking distance or will I need a taxi?
Thanks

Sal - New Fantasy Massage - walking.

Well, it's not too far. I'd guess 7 or 8 blocks. I wouldn't have a problem walking there during the day. The area around the Parque Morazon is a bit nasty at night, so I wouldn't walk then.

Taxi fare should be 220-300 colones. Possibly more late at night.

You can check out Lumps map. New Fantasy Massage is #55 on the map.

http://lumpsluvscostarica.homestead.com/map.html

I think New Fantasy hours are 9am-9pm. During the week. Wanda works 12-9. Friday-Saturday, all hours.

Don Gordo also has a "walking tour" of San Jose. I don't think he has New Fantasy in it, since it's relatively new. Also links to New Fantasy, plus other cool pictures. No picture of Wanda yet.

http://www.dongordo.com

Thanks, Jaimito,

For info on New Fantasy. I asked a while back and didn't get answer. I'll be in CR during the last two weeks in May and hope to check it out.

Sal:

New Fantasy is about four blocks from Presidente> It takes about seven minutes to walk. They are open 9-9. Until it becomes dark, it is absolutely ok to walk. Highly recommended.

To Sal & anyone else,

I'll be in CR again during the last two weeks of May. Not staying at the President, but can hook up for breakfast watch, or something. Also, planning to catch the Park show on Friday or Saturday. Let me know what time for breakfast.
Thanks.

An interesting arcticle in today's A.M. Costa Rica regarding San José strip clubs and a possible scale of fraud. Please be aware.

http://www.amcostarica.com/

Also noted in A. M. Costa Rica, there is an increase in the tourist exit tax of over 50 percent. Starting soon expect to pay $26 tax to just to leave the country. What do you get for your $26? Nothing.
That stinks.
-Ace

Ace,

You don't seem to get the whole picture. Costa Rica taxes are usually NOT added into the ticket. US taxes are.

Here's the fare for my last Costa Rica trip in April:

Base ticket cost: $422.

US Customs tax: $5. US immigration Fee: $7. US International Transportation tax: $26.80. US APHIS User Fee $3.10. Security Service Fee $7.50. Costa Rica $6.00. Passenger Facility Charge $4.50.

$59 in taxes, of which $6 is for Costa Rica, I think.

So which is fairer, $32 total in CR taxes, or $53 in US taxes?

The customer pays for the nice airport, security, runway and such. Right now Costa Rica charges it separately. If they didn't, you probably wouldn't be complaining.

CR is working on including this fee in the base ticket amount. This last time I went to Nicaragua and returned two days before my outbound trip. I paid only $2 at the airport!

Being stupid in a strip club.

Not too bright. No matter where you are, you will get taken big by giving them your credit card. Especially if you're stupid and drunk.

During my stupider days, I used an AMEX card in a strip bar in San Jose. They did not want to take it. I believe because AMEX usually sides on the cardholders behalf. After I told them, I had no other way of paying, they finally "figured" it out. Only $35, though.

I've never been to Panama and was wondering if anyone is doing a 1 or 2 day trip from CR to the Canal zone during the last two weeks of May? OR better yet is worth going?

What's the latest on pricing at El Presidente? Is it still easy to
get the TSM $45 rate? Any change on bringing more than one
girl up at a time? Can you bring up 2 at a time at Morazon?

At the Presidente you MUST request the TSM rate in advance when making your reservation. Upon arrival is too late.

You cannot register more than ONE guest at any one time.
Try the Morazon or Del Rey. Internet hookups at the Del Rey.

At the Del Rey you can just walk downstairs 24 hours a day for some hot action and a cold brew. The restaurant has 24 hour service or something similar. The restaurant at the Presidente closes tight at 10 PM.

The Del Rey has a nice lobby with multiple chairs and coffee tables, for people watching while the Presidente has limited seating.

Planning to travel to San Jose CR. Is there anyone that would like to go and show me the good places. email me rogmister@hotmail.com

Yo fellow mongers, just got home from two weeks in SJO. I'll post a more detailed report tomorrow, but today a shortie and a warning.

Saw two of three ladies that I have phone numbers for. E' came over three times and I'm just flat ass tickled pink with her. What a lady. A' came by once, but stood me up for our second date. Tried to contact R' three times but her phone was off each time.

Went to New Fantasy MP at Av 9 & C 9, just down the hill from the Hemingway Hotel. 12K Clones for a full hour. I got a BBBJ from Triania (I'll correct the spelling tomorrow) that is the best I've ever had, better the A'. That is saying something!.

WARNING

I have in the past seen Maria quite a few times on my past visits. She was a most trusted person and friends with my amigos also. Last year N' got a phone call from Maria's husband/boy friend. Basically the boy friend wanted to know about the relationship between his wife and N'. Maria told us that her sister had let the boy friend use her (Maria) cell phone when she was not at home and that her boy friend had gotten into the memory and got N's phone number and called him. I believed her. I waited seven months to contact her. Sent her an email and just let her know that I was coming to town and would look around for her.

I got to town a week before I told her that I would be there and tried to check with her old friends to see how she was doing and was she hooked up with the same guy. I could not get any info so I didn't follow up on looking for Maria. A few days into my second week I get a call at the Hotel from Maria's boy friend, again he was asking about our relationship.

Short of it is, Maria does not have a computer, she has to go to an internet cafe to check her mail. No way anyone would have known I was in town except to read her email, and that would have to be with her knowledge and cooperation.

Maria has worked the Park Hotel, BM and Piano Bars. There is a picture on her on the TSM board and I'll get an exact location so we can all see what she looks like.

One last thing, her boy friend had the name of some other guy he was looking for, again a contact of Maria.

This makes three times Maria has let out who she was seeing and so far two of us have been very lucky, I hope the third guy fares as well.

Maria has a very pretty face, almond shaped eyes, big tits and slightly over weigt. She speaks good English and is very nice to talk to. Again I'll find her picture and post it's location.

Shamas

shamas,
the girl you are warning us about is maria lourdes.
i got a call in my hotel room from her mother asking for her about a year and a half ago.
how the hell did her mother get my name and room number?
scares the [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord116][CodeWord116][/url] out of me. from now on out i am telling them my name is bill klinton.
thanks for the warning.
-k.

KYJ,

Yes your right about the name, she has also used Maria Revera and Maria Perez and Sylvia.

It's not appropriate for me to post a thread to her picture on another board, I'll try to get one and Jackson will post it for all of us to see.

I understand she is showing up at the Park Hotel after the show. I told Louis the Park bartender about her so anyone who goes to the Park can ask Louis about her.

This is the only person I've had problems with like this, shes one we all need to avoid at all costs.

Shamas

Hello All,

New Fantasy Question, I see hours are 9-9 Mon
-Sat. Are they open Sunday?

Any new talent other than Wanda?

Thank you, Frank

I could just cry. I spent half an hour typing a report and lost it when AOL droped me off the net. Any way met some great NICAs without papers that were happy with 5000c for two hours at 2000c short time hotel. The illegal NICAs spread the work and they always found me in my hotel casino.

[blue]Always compose long reports in a word processor (Microsoft Word, Word Pad, etc.) and then copy the it into the Forum. This way, you always have a backup copy of your report in the event of an internet or website problem.

Thank you, Frank New Fantacy Closed Sundays. SEAHAWK

New Fantasy has a web site, New Fantasy.net, look it up if you want to. According to the site they are closed on Sunday, I did not try them on Sunday, but I sure did the rest of the week. Girls worth a visit, Wanda, Daniella, Trianna and Sylvia. Trianna or Tiania (this is a monger board, not a spelling contest) is a young and slim black girl who is excellent. Gives a great rub down, has a great attitude and sucks with gusto.

I had a hard time finding it. If you use the Holiday Inn as a reference, go two street behind the HI and one street to the right. At the corner of Av 9 & C 9 are the Hemingway Hotel and Hotel Don Carlos, NF is just down the hill from both. It has a small sign on the door, easy to spot if I can find it.

Read me next report for some further news.

Readers Digest - Shamas trolls for pink snapper in SJO.

Sure did miss Ace and Nononsense this trip. Had some in calls from E and A, but R had her phone off the three times I tried to call her. E took the hook three times and we had great fun. A came by once, but stood me up for the second visit. I'll get a new casting technique and make sure I land her a few more times on my next excursion. All three ladies have ties to the Park Hotel and are very pretty but more so they are great people at heart and a true joy to be with. A is a petite bomb shell, the CR version of the briefcase nuke. Small with a hell of a blast. E is taller, great body and pretty face with a great smile. Life is good.
R could be in any mans magazine. She's not going to be a centerfold but she could be on anyother page and hold her own.

Went to Arte Sauna, first time I told the desk lady I was just looking around, she lowered the price from 12K to 10K Cs. I took it a few times and the price to talent level ratio was in line.

New Fantasy is in a nice neighborhood and they are remodeling the building. All of the facilities are new and clean. The rooms have electronic door locks so your valuables are safe. Your provider keeps the room card around her neck when you're at the shower or steam room. They are busy and I had to wait one time for 20 minutes for a room. Trianna played with me and started with her massage when we were waiting. This did not take off from my 1 hr time, it started when we got into the room.

IDEM, visited with Angie, yo mamma, yo mamma, yo mamma yo! They have a few really nice looking girls and a few less so, always worth a visit.

I'm not a BM fan. Went there and met Vegas Bob. I'd much rather spend time with guys like him there and drink a few beers and gawk than take any of the girls there. Lets not get a session going about how some of you love the BM, it's a thing about the price and talent level being unequal when compared to other establishments.

Key Largo. If you want to dance to a live band then this is the place, if not, don't waste your time, only had two pretty girls on Saturday night.

Got beers at the Piano Blanco bar and New York Bar quite often. Not much for talent at either place, but nice to sip a brew and waste away a few minutes.

Went to the Park Hotel a couple of afternoons. They usually have a few nice girls there for nooners. Not as pretty as the BM, but so much nicer and accomidating. Did the show on Friday the 25th. They had 11 girls on the bar. E was there and the prettiest of all. I met J there, he stays at the Park when he visits, very nice guy from NYC. G went with me for the show, he's a newbie from Fla. I won the second BJ give away after the show. E had left with her date for the night so none of the other girls did anything for me, I had two MP visits that day, the second just before I got to the Park that night. I asked Bill if he would let me give my winning ticket to another. The old pirate bitched but gave in. One of the newbies I had met from Fla got his rocks off with gusto.

I stayed at the Presidente. They are constantly upgrading the facilities, now they are painting the exterior. They have two terminals for guest to use for internet access. Both are in the second floor office.

I took most of my meals at the News Cafe. Usually took my last few beers of the night there also. The staff is great and the food is very good. My last day I told the owner just how much I liked his place and staff, he appreciated it.

Gotta go

First time poster. Sorry this is long, but it the way I write and I feel these boards are more useful with context. Some disagree I know, but this is me.

Just back from my first trip to CR. Overall I have some positive feelings and some negative. Let me say this was my first trip strictly for s#x. I have been to AMPs a few times but that is about it. Going through a bad breakup, I felt this was the right time to try.

I think the openness of the scene is a positive thing. Now on visiting I see how this fits the CR culture. A negative is the general quality. Now, don't take this the wrong way, I did have a good time, but I'm mixed about going back. I agree with one of the posters about most SW having babies. I did experience a few others without, but you should ask as part of the interview process. Here is my general report:

Arrived Wednesday evening. Not a bad flight and it was about 9:00PM when I got to the Gran Via. I tried for the Del Ray or Presidente but they were booked at least one of the nights. Just an aside, you may want to consider the Gran Via for your trip. Although the big negative is no AC, the nice part is a balcony which I used to sit and watch people below (alone and with chicas). Also, the staff is very cool about chicas. The night man basically was handling my itinerary for me. This was a big plus.

When I settled in, I decided to hit the BM. Met up with a guy I talked to on a plane. Anyway, we end up talking to a few chicas he knew from a previous trip. He mentioned to me that this one chica (Francesa?) was good (she was listening in which may have forced him into that). I knew she would ask for the $100, but figured I would offer it for more time. I know this was a mistake now but becuase this guy said she was "good" I felt like this was right. Well, let's say this experience sucked. Naked she looked kinda Olive Oil like. She had a nasty, rank smell and I ended up kicking her out after 15 minutes. A general note was that I found a lot of pussy that wasn't up to snuff. Don't know if these girls believe in douche or if it is the hot weather, but I demand showers for me and the girls and what I'm reporting is after the showers.

Was so upset with either her or myself, that I went to the Key Largo just to check it out and get something to eat. They have a cook and some basic Latin American fair, so I'm sitting and eating while watching a few people disco, when two chicas working as a team come up to me and start turning on the big "carinosa" (affection). DFK and group hugging. They were both chubby but not bad looking. Can't remember the names sorry, but the expereince was not great. Price $60 each and when in the room they acted like pigs (not in bed since CBJ, basic positions) but to each other calling each other putas and such. They ended up swiping all my flavored condoms. It just didn't do it for me, but at least I could come once.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I had an attempted robbery near Morazon park walking from Del Ray to Key largo. Two transvestites started walking along side me trying to turn me on. After saying "No Interesante" a few times both grabbed for a pocket of my pants, I grabbed one of their arms and pushed back and the other one started pulling away. Nothing taken, but not what I needed first night. Do be careful of these TV types, they are everywhere.

After the first night, I was starting to really wonder if this was a mistake. Could all the posters with positive experiences be talking about some other place. Went to sleep pondering my next move.

Slept about 2 hours and up at 7AM (gee, why didn't I sleep sound :). Anyway, Gran Via offers a breakfast option which is good. An old CR lady does all the serving and cooking. Not bad food like scrambled eggs and ham with pinto beans and rice. After breakfast, went to find the New Fantasy. Now I know everybody says ask for Wanda, but it was only 9AM and I heard she didn't start till later, so they chose a lady for me hearing it was my first time. Name was Piola. At first I was going to ask for a change since she was a little bigger than I like. She wasn't huge, but I wondered. She just had a very soft looking face with full lips so I said, ah I'll do an hour and see how it goes. Well it turned into 2 and a half hours. She is very affectionate, has very suave (soft) skin. [Btw, I'll mention I don't speak great spanish, but I know enoough to carry a reasonable conversation with chicas which as others have mentioned can not be underestimated. I have found a direct relationship to high quality with non-english speakers]. Anyway, Piola gives a nice massage with those soft, warm hands and has soft body kisses with those big lips. I kept wondering what the BJ would be like. Well, she is one of the finer. Worked her way from balls to shaft to head in excellent fashion and had some nice deep throat action moves. It was my first BBBJ from a pro and boys let me tell ya there is no going back. Also her body turned me on from behind since she is not huge, but has enough body fat to have a cute little ass shake when doing doggie. That kinda turned me on since her skin is so soft you can really feel it press against your body.

Now I was starting to feel like this was worth it. Went back to the BM that night and saw two cute chicas sitting on the lobby couch. Decided let me go to them since I really didn't want to sit at the bar after last night. First's name was Alexa and other can't remember now (you can guess I went with Alexa). We had a nice repoire and she speaks no english. Ended up taking out both dancing at La Plaza which was fun and then we went to Kareoke. Alexa and I had great DFK in cabs. Gave them 5,000 colones each (about $13 each) for evening and made a date with Alexa for the next afternoon.

Next afternoon, Friday, we went for lunch. Alexa has the kind of face I love, she always smiles softly at you without ever it feeling fake, and is petite and reminds me of that high school girl you always hoped you'd asked out. Turns out she has been though some bad troubles with An ex with which she had three kids and she has a knife wound in her stomach from ex. DFK in my room was outstanding and her BBBJ was great. The rest was not as great since I couldn't get over that knife wound and strechies. Bottom line is although I repeated with her for DFK and BBBJ only, you really can't tell overall naked body with some of these girls because of the tight CR dress. 30,000 colones ($75) which was what I offered becuase she didn't ask.

That night I went back to New Fantasy and really wanted a hard massage and asked for best. Since only CBJ was offered by this lady, just took the massage and steam.

Saturday, I went to Europa 2000 and had a session with Wendy. Looked OK sitting down based on selection of 4, but then noticed crooked teeth when in the room. Was going to ask for a change, but figured she had some big natural tits, so I figured I'd have her give me a starter HJ, and them f#ck her tits from a cowboy position. Gotta say with the right naturals, and appropriate chica pressure, this can be like a c#ndomless v#ginal experience.

Went to the Del Ray for lunch Saturday and then met some coked out porn film producer in the bar. He was so wired he scared off chicas that he was trying to pick up (you can imagine what it would take for chicas to refuse business). One who was scared away was Shirley who had a dark tica complexion and decent body. Decided to take her to lunch at Mariscos? that was mentioned as a good place on this board. Had a nice Spanish conversation and went back to the hotel for a nice BBBJ and multi-position action. Gave 25,000 ($60-65) colones + bought her a CD she wanted because she never talked money.

Decided to take a one day trip to Jaco on Sunday. Took the local bus for 1000 colones just for the experience. Hit the Beatle Bar that night. Have to say, I think the quality is higher here. Picked up a nice columbian with tight body. She loved that I could communicate in Spanish since she had basically no english. Had dancing at the disco with awesome carinosa. Decent session that night although she tended to grind me a little tighter than I like so had to grab her a#s and direct her on pace. Good BBBJ, but she wanted to leave after an hour. Couldn't really blame here since the cheaper room I got had no AC (bad choice in Jaco). Anyway she agreed to another round and recovered nicely with BBBJ/CIM. $100 + $20 tip.

Cab to San Jose early Mon. and decided to just do repeats. Had Piola two hours at New Fantasy. Made appointments with Alexa at 5PM and Shirley at 9PM. All was good except for Shirley who just had a bad meal at one of her cousins earlier and kept stopping the BBBJ too early. Back to the BM for final night since I fly out Tuesday and waited will 5AM since I was drinking with some people I met the other day. Ended up talking to this Nicauraguan team. They were cousins aged 20 (no kids) and 24 (one kid). My best bargain of the trip since they offered $100 for both. I figured based on my last threeway I wanted a recovery before I went home. A nice session with CBJ (only bad thing) from the younger and some cowgirl and doggie with her while the older provided DFK and body carressing. We ended up spending the end in three way embrace and almost dozed off, but I had an 8:30 cab and we were getting close to 7:30 and I hadn't packed.

Not a bad trip and got better at the end. I know I overpaid for some action and I think you just need to do it a bit to get better since I became a more firm about what I could afford. Once thing I found was it is good to say to their offer, you are definitely worth that, but I'm a little lean on plata (money). I also think I'm definetely a GFE type of guy and think Argentina sounds like the place for me. I also like to give little gifts to the chicas that gives it more a GFE feel.

Shamas and SeeksGoodTime,

Guys I like your long reports. In fact, I am heading down to this wonderful country for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. I too will post a long trip report.

I wish others would follow this lead and contribute in this manner.

Later,
Real

i was reading reports about new fantasy, a girl named wanda was mentioned by a reader, it said before you die & go to hell or heaven whatever the case may be, get wanda. so i got there & asked for wanda, she was busy, so i waited for her for about two hours, watching cnn unloading abraham lincoln & watching president bush giving the speech on economy & war.

i got wanda, and she is as good as the reader said. no lies, so gentleman i second the reader. vote for wanda.

intercontinental hotel is having a whole world half sale, but there price is $145 plus tax plus $4 after a seven days advance booking, which is way out of my budget, so forget that unless you are rich.

A Little Warning - Park Hotel

The new bartender at the Park Hotel, named Louis, is asking the chicas there for money and free sex for him to recommend them to customers. Most regular chicas refuse him. Do not trust Louis.
What a scumbag.

Seeksgoodtime

Dude you paid way too much for what you were getting. Throwing around money like you did ruins it for the rest who will follow. Skanky bitches are worth no more than 25 dollars, if they can find someone who will pay that.

You deserved what you paid for.Too bad you are ruining it for the rest of us.

This is not the USA, 100 dollars is NOT the going rate.

I know I made some mistakes this time. Things improved later in the trip. I think $50 is more than enough for a few hours. $25 is a little dicey for what you will get IMHO.

Key is to start your night late so these ladies are off their high horse. Rookie mistake that will not be repeated.

Penny-wise and pound foolish! SGT

It's weird how some guys will pay way too much for chicas, but won't spring the extra $10 a night for the AC room. Jaco is way hot and humid. You rode the Tico bus there, but took a taxi back? What'd the taxi cost $30-$60?

If you had really read all the messages, you would noticed all the warnings about walking around Parque Morazon.

And if you give the girl the money, before you see her body, then you're a bit of a retard. Go to the room, if she's not what you expected, then give her a few thousand colones (or nothing) and send her off. I think we've all made similar mistakes.

It's somewhat frustrating when people here have posted really good advice here, people don't go back a few pages to read it.

I do thank you for your longer response. I'm glad you found some good ones on your trip.

Oh, and if a BBBJ is that critical to you, I think you would ask the girl before you get into the room.

Louis - Park bartender

I had heard that the daytime bartender was a bit of an A-hole. I hadn't heard his name though. These girls work hard enough dealing with us... No money, no play!

Like I said, I now know some of the things I did wrong on this one. I was in a bit of an emotional state during this trip and this did cloud my judgement.

However, I want to clarify a few things and not be a total punching bag to the group. I did read the posts on CR pretty well, but I do think for a first time trip monger there is a big difference in practive on round one. Like I said, now I am confident that it won't happen again.

The $100 was done twice. The first was a total mistake. The second was for about 3 hours of dance/affection/sex and an added BBBJTC. Considering these woman were asking that rate por hora, I thought this was a better way to negotiate.

Now for the ones that didn't ask any money, I probably could have done $50 for a few hours, but I like that aspect of service where the money amount was not requested and added another $10-$20 for that. Maybe I was wrong, but that was how I felt at the time.

There was only one case where the money was asked up front and that was with the first poor quality threesome. That should have been my clue since I know I have read that on this board that that is a bad sign.

In terms of the bus, I took it as a local experience. I didn't even plan on getting a room in Jaco as I was going to take the 5AM return the next morning, and actually wasn't thinking of sexo unless the conditions were right. A guy I met on the bus, directed me to the Roblear hotel accross from the Beatle Bar and I said well a shower would be a necessity here. The AC didn't cross my mind for some reason. Hotel was $30 and return cab ride was $60 FYI (the bus was full next day).

I do think I improved later in the trip. As I say the second threeway for $100 ($80 + $20tip) for 2 1/2 hours) I thought wasn't bad for very good quality chicas. I'm curious if that was out of line as well. If so, then maybe I'm just totally out of whack. BTW, I was asking for the BBBJ (Prefiero sexo oral sin condom) with most but with these two I thought there was a different dimension to explore.

Anyway, sorry for some of the mistakes, but let's not get too personal in the return attacks. I'm still learning and I'm trying to do the right thing as I get more practical exposure to the trade.

We met Louis a few times outside of the Park, he was really nice and helpful. It's a shame he's trying to leach off the girls. We all know the Park ladies don't make that much money. I wonder if Bill will keep him around?

Shamas

Was in S.J. for first weekend in May. Sampled the fare almost exclusively at New Fantasy on Av.9 btw calles 7 & 9. A very sleek, ultra-modern set-up, with girls' time-in and time-out all registered by a computer. But the scientific organization of the sex/massage business, in this case at least, is to be applauded. Girls have been screened in advance for attitude and availability to perform the services (all girls are expected to provide BBBJ as a prelude the final act, and the 4 I sampled were all disposed to French kissing). I know that the reviewers have focused on the arts and skills of "Wanda", and there's no denying that she brings a degree of skill and professionalism to her work that can only come from true commitment to and passion for her art (she told me that she reads books on how to enhance corporal pleasure). Since, however, there is often a waiting line for her, here are my alternative picks: 1) Carol, shorter and younger than Wanda but very nicely proportioned and well-endowed, loves to frolic and roll about with you; 2) Jennifer (of Nica origin), more dark-complexioned and younger than Wanda and slightly taller than Carol, with very large rack--will go crazy for you if you say you're Italian-American (or better yet, Italian); 3) Valeska, about as dark and young as Jennifer, but taller and with a very graceful classy look to her (of all 4, I'd say she's the best looking), does everything the others do but with a tad less passion. I suggest going to the steam sauna AFTER you've finished up in the room--very relaxing and cleansing feeling you get. All in all I'd say that this is a premiere place--it's true that the score (6-7) on looks of the 25 odd girls puts them below what you could possibly find at IDEM or the Blue Marlin, but there's no beating the massage/sex combo for price (12,000 colones/hr=$30) and the quality of extra-sexual services available at the establishment such as the saunas (steam & dry) and showers. And, to sum up my appraisal of New Fantasy's scientific approach to the MP biz, I'd quote Lincoln Steffens (on the occasion of his visit to the USSR in the '30s): "I've seen the future and it works."

On another front, here's a cell phone number for a Nica cutey named Fatima on the short, but well-proportioned side (7-8 in looks) who was a hotty (BBBJ/DFK) in bed: 3583571. Picked her up in the Blue Marlin and got her for an hour in the Presidente at the unheard-of rate of 15,000
--say you heard of her from "Lorenzo."

what now on sunday?

the arte y sauna massage place within walking distance of everything, is closed, at least for a while, after a raid tuesday. guess what? no ****d chicas were found there. it was a political thing. any bets on when it will reopen? or is it already back in business?
it was the only action on sunday daytime until chicas made it up and into the infamous blue marlin. the sunday afternoon crowd of chicas did not turn my head as a rule. then again, neither did the chicas at the arte y sauna.

check out the Gringo news links that hint at certain events concerning Arte y Sauna:

as a reply to seeks good times post: I think that other members should value and critique detailed posts like yours with a kinder eye... as as far as I can tell you did well on your first trip. There is always a vast difference in hindsight( What do they say: monday quarterback?) Its all about reading personalities of the pros involved. And as a note to all u penny pinchers... work more ***** less... and diet and excercise for the beer belly does wonders too...

i haven't been to the new location of arte sauna, and don't have a lot of info on how the new setup is. however, as all massage places i've seen in cr are the same, this thing seems to be total bullshit.

they're having a child prostitution conference in town, and they need some local action to prove they're doing something.

i'm all for nailing people who go after kids. i've seen some steetwalkers that could have been ****d. i never stopped and asked. how about getting the kids some help?

oh, you ask, how many kids were working at arte sauna? none.

they got the managers for pimping. i doubt they were doing anything more than renting the rooms out, and taking their (probably half) commission on the deal.

seeksgoodtime

Ditto Rodpipe, he put it very well.

I hope you return to SJO, it's a great place. Like all newbies you learn as you go, some good, some bad.

Next trip post ahead of time and see who you can hook up with. Nononsence and Ace really helped me out and saved me lots of time and also lots of learning pains.

Shamas

I wanted to get some expert advice. I am headed down to CR for a friends bachelor party. We are planning on staying at the Hotel Del Rey. Do I have to make a special reservation like you do at the Presidente to bring girls up to the room?

Shamas and Rodpipe,

Thanks for the encouragement. It is a fun place and I think the more you go, the better you understand the mentality of the providers.

One more note for newbies to the scene in general is, it is hard to prepare for what you will experience with the liberal attitude and availability of booty all around you. I would recommend not even trying to get laid the first night and just watch and talk with the chicas. This will give you a better acclimation to the environment.

As far as pricing, I think in the future, the benchmark for pick-up chicas should be based on MP pricing. New fantasy runs about $30/hour and I think this is reasonable for any company for a chica in the 6-7 range. For a 9-10 add 25%. I actually found using this as a negotiating tool with one Panamenian in BM who was hitting on me. I said, I'm dry and just had a two hour session at New Fantasy. She asked how much, I told her, and she said that was doable for her also. So, it is a good idea to challenge their worth by using good ole free market concepts.

The one that pisses me off is that first $100 dollar screw-up. I should have at least forced her to finish up the time with massage or something or tried to reduce the rate becuase I wasn't into it. Well, just move on, everybody is allowed one bonehead move.

I think before I repeat in CR, I might try Dominican Republic since that might give me some better comparitive. I might like to do an extended trip to CR/Rio/BA in the fall if it can be arranged with other commitments. Like my post in the addiction section, this scene gets you thinking wierd first time through. Like a drug that agrees well to your body. Like has been said before, think with the big head first cannot be overestimated.

SGT

Just got an email from Delta airlines. They've got a great fare during May to Liberia (LIR), Costa Rica, check www.delta.com. Wed, Sat and Sun only. Most US cities are $309 tax included. The cheapest I've seen. Atlanta is less.

Nope. Pay the house $10, she leaves her ID, you take her up. Repeat as necessary.

I will be in costa rica at the end of May, and I would like some feedback, if any, about D'pelufo?

Their website looks great are the chicas game to take out?

D'pelufo - I've never heard of them before. In general, most of the dance places (Puro Platino, etc) are ripoffs. I would NEVER give these places my credit card. There was a story further down about some schmuck who had $11,000 charged on his credit card. Apperently he signed the credit card receipt or something.

Just to echo what Jaimito said and add my 2 clones worth, the strip clubs in SJO all have a bad reputation. All are very expensive and most are just pure rip off joints. Their prices are equal to US prices. BUT if this is what you want, just be forwarned.
DO NOT ever use a credit card anyplace outside of the US, unless you are very sure of the honesty of the person you're dealing with. The Hotel Presidente is safe.

Shamas

San Jose is a city of *****s.
Thank God, what a place.
Again,much thanks to this forum and all of your great posts guys.
I took much advice and went to New Fantasy...highly recommended...and saw WANDA.
One word...well two words:tongue bath.
She is all that and more.
I was a bit surprised at first,cuz she was not the hottest looking of the 20 or so young hotties on the other side of the two way mirror ( the place is full of hot young shit at 40bucks each...take 3!!!),but Wanda did not disapoint: great attitude and all tounge everywhere without hesitation or cover all the time non stop double pop,can't wait till my next stop.

Gentlemen,

I am considering my first visit to Costa Rica in July. I went to the DR last year. If any of you guys have visited both places, I would be grateful for a comparison, preferences and recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

OAH

Visited Sosua in North Dominican area last March and SJO, CR in May. I usually visit CR and that's my preference, the two are hard to compare, because they don't. The DR is a low cost, highly aggressive, one culture (pretty much) environment, while CR is a higher cost, less aggressive multi-culture (Ticas, Nicas, Columbians, Panamanians.) I enjoy both places, but prefer CR.

I did meet a couple of German tourists in DR that liked the darker tan, but I still like CR, and plan to be there next week.

BTW, I also found more things to do during the day in CR, than in DR.

Question for the CR experts. I have not been to CR before, mostly just Buenos Aires. I was thinking of trying to make a weekend visit to CR (much closer) and since I am near Atlanta I would probably do the Delta flight into Liberia. I was wondering where to go from there? I suspect that the area to be in is SJ but what is the best way to get there?

Thanks in advance.

CO2

It is pretty cheap to fly from Liberia to San Jose, maybe $40-$60. You fly on scary little six-seaters or perhaps a 17 seat Beechcraft. I rather like it; you see some great scenery.

But if you are in Liberia, you must definitely go to Parque Rincón de la Vieja, the most beautiful place I have seen so far in the world (although this has nothing to do with pussy). Get there early in the morning and hike to the lagoon, then hike back to the mud pots in the afternoon. If you are in [b]very, very[/b] good shape, hike over the crest to the other lagoons (to your right as you are heading to the Blue Lagoon).

This will make you a more rounded person than if you just screw a bunch of hookers down there, and you can compare the beauty of the hookers to that of the Parque.

My first trip kind of a long report.

Friday May 9
Arrived around 3 pm checked into the President. Walked around some and couldn’t get my directions straight.
Ended up at the Blue Marlin, met Mary from DR. Promised a great massage and BJ worked out $50 for the hour and went back to my room. Body was alright about 5, massage, and BJ were good have had better.

Saturday May 10
As it was my birthday I really wanted to treat myself. Finally started to find my way around, what a few street signs would do for this country, my only real complaint. Found New Fantasy was given a tour by Jennifer from Nicaragua, and chose her for a 2 hour session. A great breast, body overall 7 or 8, into French kissing, was very enthusiastic, did the steam room, sauna, and shower and tried every position she could think of.

Went back BM and met Sandra from Columbia, not the greatest experience, CBJ seemed to be in a hurry to get things over with, worked out for $60 but tried to up sell at the end. Body 6 nice ass, small breasts.

Sunday May 11
Went to BM met Anita, boy was she persistent, wouldn’t budge from $100 and wouldn’t leave me alone, finally started saying I didn’t like her and all kinds of bull so I just left. Wasn’t worth the trouble.

Monday May 12
Back to New Fantasy, with so many to choose from I just couldn’t stay away, that and 14000, Jennifer was busy so I choose Ale. Body 7 small breasts, but very good BBBJ, really used her tongue a lot, loved to play with your balls.
Went out at night to IDEM they wanted $60 for an hour, had a good selection of women available, but with the service and prices at New Fantasy, I didn’t want to settle for 1 hour when I could get 2.

Tuesday May 13
Back to the BM met Diana, couldn’t get past looking at her breasts, and made a bad choice on this one. Body 5, sex was less than enthusiastic. Wanted taxi money for later, didn’t give her anything for that, after paying $50, and the lack luster performance I wasn’t about to give her more money.

Wednesday May 14
New Fantasy again, this time Wanda, blond, with a great set of breasts, really got into the BBBJ, using her finger nails to tickle and play, really could drive you crazy. She had a cold but still performed well.

Thursday May 15
New Fantasy again this time Sam, hot little number about 5 feet tall body 7 or 8. Lots of eye contact during the BBBJ covered her body with oil and gave me massage with her body, good breasts, and nice ass.

Friday May 16
My last full day and tried to do as much as I could. Tried 4 or 5 pharmacies but couldn’t find one that would give out Viagra without a prescription.
Started the day at New Fantasy, just my luck again, Jennifer was busy again, would have really like to gotten her again. Oh well picked Laura, about 5’, great breasts, and spoke the most English of all the women I was with at NF, she was the only one who didn’t kiss or shower with me. She was very enthusiastic rode me so hard we moved the mattress half way off the bed, by the time we finished we were both half way off the end of the bed.

Off to BM and met Melaina from Columbia, 22, body 6, small breasts, said she needed silicone, and liposuction from her 2 bambinos. Again pressure to pay more at the end. Wanted taxi money when I wouldn’t give more for the sex, she was the only one who wanted my lubricant, rubbers, and to take all the chocolates.



Saturday May 17
Really debated going to NF before my flight, if I had realized I didn’t need 3 hours before the flight I would have gone. But as this was my first trip I didn’t want to take any chances on missing my flight.

I did a rain forest tour, and an all day country tour which was really great. I found the people to be very friendly and found plenty to do. Would like to explore both coasts on my next trip as well as more of San Jose.
Need to explore the other places in SJ for fun that I either couldn’t find or didn’t have time to visit. 747 was elusive, and the taxi driver didn’t seem to know where it was either. He was one of 2 who didn’t have change and wanted 1000 for a 3 block ride.
I need to learn more Spanish, as this would help with the basics as well as better success with the ladies.

Overall for my first adventure I would the country beautiful, the people very friendly and the women and fun were great. I look forward to my next trip. Overall my best experiences were at New Fantasy, was a welcome relief from home where the same service costs over $300 an hour.
Also found that most women didn’t want their pictures taken, did shoot a couple, but was really disappointed on not being able to take more pictures.

Arrived on yesterday afternoon. AFter a brief rest, went to New Fantasy. All the posts were on target. I was a little concerned when I saw el policio standing guard across the street, so I asked okay and he said yes. I picked a different one, Jackie, kinda petite, small breasts, good oil massage, along with everything else. Great double shower, also.

Staying at Morazan, but had breakfast at News Cafe. Will be here two weeks, maybe hook up for breakfast, or taxi ride to Park Hotel on Friday. Checking Emails daily.

Think I will run over and try New Fantasy again.

Hello.

I will be in SJ june 5-june 9. Since I will be traveling alone I would love to have a "wingman" or sort to go with me pick up chicks. I am 25, Asian American. If you will be in SJ during that time please leave a note.

Thanks and I can't wait to sample the p*ssies in CR.

Can anyone clue me in to the approximate start time of the Fri/Sat Park Hotel show? I know it varies, but I may be flying in to SJ at 8:40 pm on a Fri. I know I would miss the pre-activities, but would I miss the actual show? How long does it usually last for?

thanks

Caribbean Gringo

Caribean: You'll most likely miss the Friday show. The airport is
almost a 30 minute ride to San Jose. The show is Sat. also, get
there about 8:30-9:00. Go thru archives for more advise.

Park Show - What hours?

Well, the time I went there (February), they told me the show started at 8pm or so. I'd say it was close to 10:30pm before it actually did, so you might be able to make it there.

The show itself is only 20-30 minutes. I don't know if they don't start until they sell enough drinks, or paying customers...

New Fantasy! Idem $60?

Glad to hear everyone is doing well at New Fantasy. The girls are amazing. I don't recall hearing anyone have a bad experience there.

It's nice to go to a place where you don't need to be worried about being ripped off, and where service with a smile has a whole 'nother meaning!

The last time I was at Idem it was around $40. The only other add on was if you got one of the expensive downstairs rooms.

As a rule of thumb the Park show starts around 9:30pm, that is if they have a good crowd. Later if the crowd is thin.

Does anyone know if if the Balmoral still has coupons in the Tico times. If I remember right, they were about half off.

Ad says Balmoral $33 plus tax, for residents.
Also, Morazan says $39 plus tax.
(high season supposedly ends on 5/31, so others will go down also. Last year in June, I paid $32 at the Morazan. I came here two weeks early this year.)

Also, we went by the Park for Friday night show, about 8:15 pm. three customers, two girls and show would cost 6,000c, we left and decided on more hands on experience.

Thanks for looking that up. The ad for Balmoral didn't say for residents the last time I was there. Oh well.

Jaimito:

Last time I tried IDEM, Roberto wanted US$47 for regular room and US$57 for the better room. Why give him such a premium while New Fantasy is about $33 for same services. IDEM ought to reduce their prices.

What percentage of the chicas do anal? I haven't heard many of you talk about it. It's not a requirement or anything but I'm interested (mainly since the asians I usually see aren't into it at all).

I can't wait to go.

Anal in CR.

I'm not a real big on the anal thing, but I do ask for informational purposes... I'd say about 10-20% will do it, usually for a decent tip. Again, you've got to ask, and negotiate it for before you hit the room. If you've got a big dick, your percentage may go way down.

My experiences are only with Idem, New Fantasy, Park Hotel, etc. No Blue Marlin or independents.

Well I am heading down to CR next week (June 5-9) and I am really trying to stay at the Del Rey. For whatever reason I am striking out and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation. I have called a couple of places on the net and I have been getting every from they know longer accept reservations from us to they are sold out (could be the case). Anyhow as I keep trying a found one place that claimed they may be able to get me in at $67 a night. I guess the place appeals to me because of the Blue Marlin Bar and all of the woman that hang out there. A close second is the Presdidente but it doesn't look like they have a Blue Marlin type of bar. Wondering everyone’s thought......

For the record I enjoy a woman that can perform anal every now and then. I have never been to CR before but I have been to Bangkok a couple of times and it seemed like about 10% would perform the act. I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with the Cola?

Also if anyone is going to be down there (June 5-9) and wants to get together let me know.

There's only 3 major hotels, BM, Presidente, Morazan. If BM is full, the Morazon is across the street from BM. Presidente is fine as well, just another block away. For specific sex acts, go to Bar IDEM (brothel), ask Roberto for whatever you want. See www.dongordo.com for a map of brothels in the city. BM has the most girls, and cost is alot higher.

hola amigos...it's been awhile...but i will be at the del rey in july. ihave heard the government is cracking down on some of the spots such as the arte sauna....this is not good.i was at the del rey last dec. 28 when immigration raided the place and carted out the girls whose visas had expired....i guess my point is this...little by little this place is changing...the government is under pressure to stop the **** prostitution(which should be stopped))...but it's effects will also hurt the hobbyists. the government is making it tougher on the sex businesses and casinos....still a great place....but changing

If you're in downtown San Jose, don't forget New Fantasy Massage. I don't think I've heard of anyone having a bad experience there, and I know they do some kinky stuff there.

I, of course, am a big Wanda fan. I think there are lots of very nice chicas there too. I think it's 12000 colones for an hour, or 6000 for 1/2 an hour. Very good value for the money.

Thanks for all of the information !! I am looking forward to comparing it to Thailand although I hear that there is nowhere else in the world that will ever compare.

Well I finally made it in to the Del Rey and I am looking forward to doing a little pink snapper fishing as Don Gordo says. I have to tell everyone that Club ****** is an excellent source of information. It takes time to sift through it but it was exactly what I was looking for considering this is my first trip to CR.

As it stands I am looking forward to the Park hotel show on Friday night. Does anyone else have any recommendations on shows? I understand the strip clubs are out.

Also what is everyone’s experience on guests that spend the night? In Thailand it was referred to as long time versus short time. Reading all of the posts it seems like the woman are more short time. Is this true for the most part ticas? It is always nice to wake up and take care of things first thing in the morning. I hear if you are lucky enough to find a tica that spends the night it will typically run you around $100 after negotiations.

I think staying at the BM is a rip off. You have to pay a fee, I think it's ten bucks, everytime you bring a girl up to your room. I was much happier at the Presidente, where I could bring girls, it's just a block away from the bm, friendly staff, and no fee for guests.

I went to Costa Rica for the first time two years ago. I had a blast. I'm thinking of going back and wondering if anything has changed? Are there any new places I should check out? This place called the New Fantasy seems to get good reviews, I don't think it was there my las trip. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I would probably stay again at the Presidente, I liked it and there is no guest fee.

One more question: Any suggestions on how to find a real girfriend there, not just a strictly working girl?

Thanks, guys, and I promise a full report when I get back!

WillySP...

I think I had the Diana you mentioned. Iin your trip report during my last trip in January. The Diana I had was
a Tica, about 28 to 30 years old, maybe
5'4", shoulder-length dark brown hair,
great chest, spoke a lot of English,
and had somewhat squinted/slanted
eyes. Same chica?
Anyway...I remember seeing her at the BM on several previous trips, so in
January, upon seeing that nice rack,
I figured that I just had to have a session with her. Like you stated, it was a bad
choice. She asked for the money first.
I refused...told her after! I paid $80.
She said no kissing...no GFE. Was all business. No enthusiasm at all!
Like in your case, she wanted extra
money for a taxi. Said no way!
I would rate her body a little higher
than you did though...maybe an
'8', just because of her chest.

Hola Guys,

I have been reading the forum for quite some time and just joined. I am heading to San Jose and looking for more info on the New Fantasy Massage. How far will the girls go beyond a hand job and what can I expect to pay. I am looking forward to meeting Wanda since she has so many great reviews.

My first trip to the Land of the Ticas

My trip was between May 22nd and May 26th.

DAY 1
I landed and the first thing I noticed in my taxi ride to the hotel (Hotel Presidente) were the amazing women who reside in San Jose. I was awestruck at the beauty and phenomenal bodies that these Tica's possessed. As soon as I checked in, I met my buddy and we went to the bank to exchange money. We could not believe the beautiful women in the streets and believe it or not they are so friendly if you talk to them. I got the phone number of the bank teller although my Spanish is very limited (at best). I had received a e-mail of a local tica someone had given me so I called her up and set up an appointment. She came around 7 pm - met me at the News Cafe at the Presidente and we shared a drink and seemed to hit it off. This is one of the most beautiful women I have seen. Physically she is slim, 5'6", pretty but she spoke perfect english and had a great personality. GFE all the way. After finishing a 3hr session, My buddies and I hit El Pueblo where a lot of the local girls are there. We had fun dancing and then called it a night.

Day 2
Get up early to take a tour of the volcano Poas and some other crap. It is good since you get to see much of the country but it was from 7 am - 7 pm (long day) Anyway get back, sleep, shower and get ready for the Blue Marlin. We go in and I meet a Nicaraguan girl. she is cute and my buddies find some other girls to go out with. We all go to el pueblo and dance with the girls. The Ticas love dancing. Treat them with respect and show them a good time and they will extend their time with you con gusto. After I got this nica back to my room I realized why she wanted only $50 for the whole night. My 4 tequila shots numbed my senses and couldn't see her fatty tummy. I still tried with her but "sorry guys" that tummy turned me off. I shoved her out the door after paying her and had a long nap. ZZZZZZ

Day 3 - Saturday
This is party night and we were definitely going out of the GULCH today. We woke up had breakfast at the News CAfe (BTW - eat there just for the view of the TICA's running around town). We went to New Fantasy but it was packed with gringos and not good selection so we took a taxi to San Pedro Mall. If you are even half way charming and have command of the spanish language - YOU CANNOT FAIL. I speak no Spanish and I am about 29, handsome, but no Brad Pitt, and I got over 10 phone numbers from local girls - ages 19 - 25. They love a guy who is confident and most of all courteous. We ended up going back to the Blue Marlin and I picked up 2 girls who my buddies ended up stealing from me, but I got this hot Columbian who I took to my room - she did insist on a CBJ but was very,very good. I was very pleased and only paid $60. SHe also allowed me to take pictures and overall was a GFE experience. We later on went to El Pueblo and I was able to meet some of the girls from the mall. Just made out with some of them but still a great experience. Also a tip for you guys (bring trojans or your favorite brand of condoms, the condoms i picked up from costa rica (DUREX) are awful - it numbs the sensation and took me forever to ejaculate. Next time I will go TROJAN.

DAY 4 - Sunday
We went to new fantasy - was closed.

We went to IDEM - was closed

We went to EROS - open but limited selection so we passed.
We ended up back at Blue Marlin but on a rainy Sunday afternoon - slim pickings.

I finally saw after a couple hours this cute blonde tica. I struck up a conversation with her and found out she was a school teacher (WOW). Long story short. She gave me a BBBJ with some coaxing on my part, a nice long 2 hour love session and was GFE all the way. She really appreciated the amount of times I got her off and I need to move to Costa Rica because I think my skills work better on Latin women than American women, but overall a $80 3hour fun fest that I enjoyed greatly. Anyway, after dinner we hit El Pueblo again (you see a consistency huh.) Sunday is good since all the ticas go to relax and I met this cute blonde tica who I ended up making out with.
All in all, my first trip was superb because I did what some veterans told me - pace yourself, be nice to the girls, and get out of the gulch. I felt that even in the gulch you can live like a king but I enjoyed the whole experience. I definitely gotta make it back soon.

Senior Qucterra, does the Morzan Hotel have a web site? Is the rate still 35.00 US, plus tax, and the extra guest free?

I am planning another trip there, but will not not stay at the Del Rey again, ripped off to many times in this place.

Looking forward to your reply

Thanks..

Gringo Tim
Sounds like the same Diana, she did have a great rack, but I scored her low because of the overall experience. Most of the women were great and provided a wonderful time, she was by far the worst of my choices.

John Holmes
You will greatly enjoy New Fantasy, expect to pay 14000 for an hour, you will be able to get full service. They have a great selection of women, and everyone I was with provided excellant service, you can search back for my report to get some names.
I usually went just after they opened or a hour or so before they closed so I didn't have the customer problem Maverick207 spoke of.

4th of July long weekend.

Got my ticket with Delta, ETA SJO, 1225p, Thursday 3 July, ETD, 2p Monday, 7 July.

The place will be packed, don't wait and miss out on the fun.

All the bangs won't be firecrackers, it's us doing our patriotic duty to support the ladies of SJO.

Hope to see a town full of brother mongers.

Last Friday night 6 13 the police pulled a raid on the Blue Marlin and arrested and jailed otherwise legal gringo tourists who did not have their passport on them. An easy going friend of mine was jailed for several hours until he was allowed to return to his hotel room and show his valid passport and recent entry stamp.
Additionally foreign girls who overstayed their visas were arrested, jailed and are expected to be fined and deported. I guess their potential career with the Citibank executive training program is doomed due to a criminal record :-)
Raids were also conducted at several other tourist destinations in the country at the same time.
The Costa Rica police now claim that all tourists must have their valid passports with entry stamps less than 90 days old on their person at all times, or a certified copy, certified by a Co$ta Rican lawyer.
I guess that means after entering the country I must take a cab to my hotel, check in, go to a bank or casino to change my money, go to a store to buy bottled water, and then go to a lawyer to get a certified copy of my passport and entry stamp before I do tourist stuff.

I must reconsider coming to Costa Rica.
I understand that Rio and Bangkok are tourist friendly.

The raid that William Walker is refering to really sucked. :-(

This will open up a new market for the CR lawyers. At $5-$10 per certification a lawyer could make a fortune in the gulch. What are the requirements to be a CR lawyer?

Shamas

Snapper,

Sorry for the late response. I spent two great weeks in CR, came back to chill and hadn't logged for a while.

The Morazan does not have a website. You can call them at 506-222-4622 or email at info@hotelplazamorazan.com. (If you call, use 10-10-220, or use an ATT pre-paid card, to manage the cost. They can make you hold, if they are busy.)

They had a big sign outside for $39/night plus tax. When I checked in, I complained that I had paid $32 including tax last year. They didn't say anything, but had lowered my rate to $35 when I checked out. Also, claim to charge $5 for guests, but if you treat the desk clerks nice, (as I do), they won't charge every time. I had only one guest charge over the two weeks there.

BTW, they reminded me that I was there in June last year, and supposedly rates drop after May 31st.

As you know, it's centrally located and has been completely renovated. They, also have a cheap luncheon buffet for 1000c. Nothing to write home about, but it's filling, and is an option during the rainy season.\

Enjoy!!!

Need help! I'm planning to bring one of the ladies to US for 3-4 weeks. Can I prepay a ticket on American? Is the ticket price more for her coming out of CR?

Q

First thing, check to make sure she can get into the country. After 9-11 things changed for tourist visas. I'm not sure if it effects CR visitors.

Shamas

Qncterra,

Shamas is correct, first you need to check on visa availablity. While generally Costa Ricans are not considered in the same category as the rest of the Central Americans, and usually have a much easier time than others in the region, it may take some time for her to get the Visa. And, he is also correct that since 9-11 the rules have become more strict.


As far as a ticket, now with electronic ticketing, the price should be the same..place of origen does not matter. In the old days of having to get a paper ticket incountry, oftentimes the cost of purchase in country would be higher. Now, you can book online, or over the phone with stateside reservations and the ticket is electronic, easy to do.

That's ridiculous. I've been all over the world and I've never been asked for my passport. The few times I've been asked for ID, I just flash my driver's license and they are happy with that. Are the Costa Ricans actually trying to drive away tourists with hard currency? Oh well, there's aways Argentina where people are friendly.

Justgotback-
To make matters worse, if that is possible, now it turns out that some gringos were jailed who did have valid passports on their person, with valid recent entry stamps on them. One was a pilot for a US airline which serves SJO. The police excuse was that they had to check the validity of the documents.
That seems like BS to me and an excuse to make the single bar tourist feel unwelcome. One policeman told one of the gringos that that was the intent.
Thirty eight gringos were arrested in SJO that night according to one guy who wrote this up on a private (fee) board which deals with hombres in the s*x bar scene.

Thanks, guys. I'll work through the process and see where it leads.

gee! having just been there in may/june, the kind of tourist harassment that you are reporting is both frightening and sickening. would complaints to immigrations or the us embassy help? i believe that standard travel advisories suggest that you carry a copy of your passport.

btw, while i was in sjo (1st week of june), i did witness the arrest of a gringo and what appeared to be a pimp, outside of hotel morazan. an **** girl was nearby. don't know if that is what spark this sudden antagonism, or not.

i know that we probably shouldn't post rumors here, and jackson might want to edit it. however, names are not mentioned and the rumor isn't damaging. supposedly, the gringo asked the guy for younger girl, or the guy offered to find a younger girl. when he showed up with the ****, the gringo said, no!, but it was too late.

q,

the us embassy will not help. many of us have sent emails to the costa rican embassy in washington dc.

their web site is costarica-embassy.org, they list all of the contact info, email, fax and mailing addresses.

please do send a nice note and voice your concerns.

as far as the guy who you suspected of **** mongering, we can not have our brothers partaking in this activity. this type of abuse is both immoral and discusting. it will cause all of us trouble and deminish our image. on a thailand based board some scum bag posted pics of himself and six **** girls. the other board members blasted him and he was banned. we have to protect our little piece of paradise and uphold our standards. we are mongers, but we have to keep our standards up and practice our hobbie with ladies of age. for me i want one who's been around the block and knows tricks of the trade that will make me quake and quiver with delight.

4th of july weekend is coming up, i'll be there, hope to see you guys there also.

shamas

Shamas,

Thanks for the info. Will contact the embassy here. I agree with your other comments, as well. Can't back there so soon, so enjoy the 4th, for us who can't be there.

With all the crap going down in SJO, and all of CR for that matter over the past 6 months, it is not worth the hassle or risk anymore. Especially, when Rio and Buenos Aires have the beautiful latinas without any hassle. Overall costs are basically the same if you plan right.

My next trip to CR will be for fishing and meeting the local "non-pros" in those small towns. My most memorable experiences have been with them anyway.

I suggest greener pasteurs for CR mongers. I have and will never look back.

Don't get me wrong, I love CR and will return, just not for the SJO or Jaco mongering seen anymore. I prefer not to risk getting mixed up in the recent CR crackdown. The non-pros in fishing towns, Rio, and BA have served me well and may you also.

Vegas

Hello All,

I not sure that I understand the US passport requirement? In the Costa Rica Today, the article suggests that Canada and US citizens do not require passports, photo government documents are fine for entry to CR. My question, how is it that your are required to have a passport with you at all times? This is confusing. Does anyone have some better information?

Thanks,

Carry your passport at all times or get a certified photo copy at a CR Lawyers office. If your eating in your hotel, have one of the two documents on you, not in your room.

Shamas

I will be in San Jose July 11-22, and staying at the Hemingway. Are any you veteran mongers going to be there to show me the ropes.

[/i][/QUOTE]Dude, I don't think Hemmingway has a guest allowed policy - I would check with them or book a double room. I know the Presidente, Del Rey and the Morazan are okay.

Strikesforfun: AS of May 1, 2003 Costa Rica requires a passport for U.S. citizens...you will not be allowed in without one.Judging from recent reports the government is showing its ass at the sex traveler requiring you have it in your possesion. They will periodically stage a raid on the Del Rey looking for illegals and from what i am reading are also targeting gringos.I personally witnessed a raid at the Del Rey in December 2002 in which around 40 girls were taken away. A couple of months ago they shut down the Arte Sauna just down the calle. Looks like politics are coming in to play.By the way does anyone know if they have reopened Arte Sauna??....

Well they seem to be waffling on the passport requirement. Reports in the local English paper say that the extension for using the tourist cards has been extended for 6 months.

See the amcostarica or tico times daily papers earlier this week for more details.

I would, of course, recommend having a passport.

I've read on other boards where Arte Sauna is being gutted. They got busted for having illegal alien workers on premises.

I also read the AM Costa Rica thing too. But I think it would be wise to have a passport on you at all times.

Please if someone can post a summary of rates, guest policies, location etc and do brief comparison of each for -->

Holiday Inn
Hotel Morazon
Hotel Del Rey
Hotel Presidente

it will help us all make a decision about where to stay. These hotels are very close within the Del Rey, Blue Marlin area and casinos. Add more hotels if you like, but these ar the ones that I know of and I want to hear what other visitors have to say about this list.

Sex_God

See earlier posts in May/June from me and others. I would personally scratch the Holiday for all the reasons, scratch Del Rey just because, unless it's your first trip. only seriously coonsider the Presidente and Morazan.

Mongo,

Your only 100mts from New Fantasy. It's down the hill and on the same side of A9 as Hemmingway. I don't think H'way is guest friendly, ask. Your also on the other side of Morazon Park from the BM, KL and the rest of gulch, do NOT cross the park after dark and alone, some TVs prowl the area looking for an easy mark to mug. Two TVs, one made up like an old street lady (she/he did the set up) mugged an experienced brother and many others have reported attempts and harrowing experiences in this area. During the day it's safe as can be and a nice place, but not when the sun goes down. Take a cab, give the dude 500c and you'll both be happy and on the other side in a minute.

Snooky

Just read your posting on the other board, fully understand and support. This and the other board are such good places for us to swap info. Why can't we all just get along, and screw our brains out.

Hotels (sorry don't remember you handle)

Holiday Inn, if your a regular (HI card holder) the price isn't that high, but the most expensive of your choices. DR has a $10 per guest charge, factor this into your budget (can easily surpass the HI). Presidente has a one guest at a time rule, if your into multiple ladies you'll have to have some friends sign them in as their guests. Morazon has a bad reputation for not honoring thier reservations, other than that the best value. I like the Prez, so many good things. HI will be the most civilized, the other three can turn into big parties. One night I thought I heard someone trying to bore though the wall into my room, turned out to be multiple dildos in harmony.

One thing about the HI, it's across Morazon Park from the BM, KL and other fishing holes. Read my posting above to Mongo about the park.

July 4th weekend is getting close, hope to see some of you guys there. Looks we'll be meeting at the News Cafe around 9am for mongers breakfast, I'll be stopping by for coffee and tica pie news. I'll also hit Jocelyns in the early afternoon.

Shamas

Yea thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of the gulch, I shall fear not, for I have Lumps Map. It guideth me and makeist me to lay down with pretty Ticas.

All newbies, matter of fact all of us need a copy. So many places to go, so much info, all for free.

Jackson, hope you don't mind the thread, the map is priceless and a must have idem :-) for all of us.

Shamas

I wish to sincerely thank all contributors to this subject for making my two recent San Jose trips quite enjoyable. As a general rule these ladies beat American sex workers hands down. Yes, many will try to hustle you, goes with the territory, but I never had this sense that if I did not bow down and kiss their feet that a pack of bouncers were waiting to give me a new face. That is refreshing to say the least. Most really appreciate the American tourist.

I wish to revive the "$100 issue" as it relates to the Blue Marlin. Those that pay and defend paying this for one pop/ one hour, the standard asking arrangment, I suggest you reconsider. Yes, some chicas hold it there, but interestingly, I have seen many of these stand around all night and leave, quite possibly home to bed without making a dime. May well be a pride thing, not a product of themselves, but of ill-advised gringo influence. Well, $100 may be a good deal compared to America, but what isn`t? lol It is not a matter of who is or is not a tightwad, but it is a matter of spoiling and Americanizing the chicas. They will only turn more snobby, ask for even more money (ready for $150 a pop?), all while the level of service declines. On three occasions I took 9s/10s out of the Blue Marlin for $50. One was hands down the best looking girl in the bar at the time. And yes, they all initially wanted $100. On another occasion I took out a chica that was actually the finest one I ever have seen in there, $100 TLN (8 hours). I took many others out of the Blue Marlin and not once did I yield to their $100/one hour request, and I was usually shooting for the best of the crop. Those in the middle ranges will go for $50, no problem. There is no need to turn this place into a high priced, look at me, yuppie singles bar. You can find plenty of that at home. Please let Central America be Central America.

Also, I suggest never paying the girls from the bar in advance. That is not customary but some are starting to get "Americanized" in this regard. Assure them, but make them earn their colones first. Otherwise, many of their minds will be on the door. I called off a few deals because they would not bend on this issue. No regrets.

My take on the spots:

Blue Marlin. It is very good if played right. There are some jewels around, a good flux of new ones in and out. I ditto what others have said, spend some time talking to the girl before deciding to take her out.

747. The one I choose was great looking, an easy 9, slim, cute, 20 years old. Not real enthused but at 5000 colones ($12.50), who cares! I went for a second round and will look for her again.

New Fantasy. Great value, 14,000 colones ($35), very good service and extras (steam and sauna). One gave me a wonderful BJ in the steam room. I highly recommend this. Qualitywise, below the best at the Blue Marlin, though there may be some exceptions that I missed. Try Alaska and Cada.

IDEM. I apologize as names have escaped me. There is an overall quality jump upwards here from New Fantasy. In fact you will find some equal to the top rung at the Blue Marlin. Chose three here, very much enjoyed them all. Some have complained about the rooms here. I noticed no real problem. Sheets were clean, pillows just right, beds worked fine for the deed. That is what I was there for. :-) Look to spend around $50 total, plus a tip which these kind ladies will surely earn. And Roberto is a good guy.

Thanks again gentlemen, could not have done it without you. Look for further contributions, and if I can assist anyone, do not hesitate to call on me.

Hotel Del Rey
Hotel Presidente

These are the following review IMHO of these hotels

Presidente – website http://www.hotel-presidente.com/
I stayed here on my visit so I am slightly biased towards them…

Pros:
Reasonable Prices
Friendly Staff
No Guest Fee
Excellent Breakfast
Their restaurant (NewsCafe) is excellent dining and has a great view of the chicas walking in the street (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Maids are nice an accommodating.
Rooms are clean
Walking distance to Blue Marlin and New Fantasy
Very close to downtown San Jose – can walk in the afternoon and take in the sites. - CHICAS

Cons:
Not allowed more than one guests

Morazan – website http://www.1costaricalink.com/eng/hotels/hots/crmorazan/home.htm
My friend stayed here

Pros:
No guest limit in your room (Menage-a-trois possibility)
Clean Rooms
Friendly Staff
Reasonable Rates
Casino on premises
Walking distance to Blue Marlin and New Fantasy

Cons:
$5.00 per guest charge
Breakfast not as good as at NewsCafe and site not as good for looking at chicas

Del Rey – website http://www.hoteldelrey.com/bluemarlin/index.html
Pros:
Like Wal-Mart – go downstairs and pick up a girl at the Blue Marlin
No limit on guests in your room
Restaurant and Casino on premises
Walking distance New Fantasy

Cons:
$10.00 per guest charge
Rooms are a little pricier than other 2 hotels.

This hotel is a mongering hotel (EVERYONE knows it) No NON-PRO girl you pick up at the clubs or the malls will want to come back here but at Presidente they may since that hotel is on tourism sites for mongers as well as other “legitimate” tourists


Here is another one I found. Have no review of this place but someone said it is good and guest friendly http://www.apartotel-lasabana.com/

Remember to always take a taxi at night.

Enjoy.

Thanks. I wonder why New Fantasy Massage is a black instead of a red dot?

You can also try www.dongordo.com, there is a link to the map on this site. New Fantasy is a black dot as I believe that denotes a new place.

Has anybody tried the cheaper massage places? Looks are unimportant to me, so I don't care if the provider is fat. Toothless may be a plus. A skilled fellatio practitioner if a gem no matter her looks.

A while back some one mentioned a place called the Pension I think. Anyone been there lately?


You are right. I am a cheap sob. So you know how I feel about paying $100/hour.


How about Saturday night at the Park Hotel? That still going strong?


This board is the greatest.

Mongo

Try Rosario at 747. She's not ugly but not a spring chicken either. Jocelyn's is supposed to be good. The Park Hotel has a few good looking girls and a bunch who aren't. Some of the UFOs are really nice ladies who are very cost effective. I went to the Pension place with Giatano and we left quicker than we went in. Cheap as hell but the girls weren't up to that standard.

There are many places listed on Lumps Map that are inexpensive, cruise them all and pick if one rocks your boat.

Thanks, Shamas, for the valuable information. I will let you know how I made out.

Whassup y'all! How's it hangin? Has there been any change in the mongering scene after the raids and closures in San Jose? Arte Sauna is closed in S Jose. I heard the police in San Jose are now tough on everyone and they demand you to have valid papers on you. That means both the hobbyists and the ladies have to have valid papers to be in CR.

How has it affected the prices? Whats it doing to the flesh-trade? US dollar is sinking lower and lower, and this makes me nervous. I cant afford the European prices so I am always bargain hunting in CR, Mexico, Peru, Argentina...!

FYI: If they close New Fantasy Masajes in San Jose, that will be the end of this world for many of us. That place is a great bargain and a good place to enjoy your hobby for a half a day or so.

This board is slowing down. Come on folks add your reports, give us some advice. Lets go. Don't let the economy, war or anything else slow you down. We must continue the tradition of female enjoyment until our last breath. In fact I hope to die with a hooker in my bed. No, that does not mean she should shoot me in my head on my last day on this planet. :-)

Take care fellas!

She had a nice body, but she put in wery little effort. Though for ten dollars I didn't care. The buddy I went with had a great time for the same price with a different girl.

Has anyone noticed a bunch of scum SPAM after visiting the dongordo.com site? I'm not sure where its coming from because I visited that one and two others through a searchengine about six months ago. It took me about 3 1/2 months to clean up my inbox. About a week ago, I went there and low/behold it's happening all over again. Maybe there's an unknow link on the site that captures and shares the email address.

36 hours and I'll be in SJO.

A site cannot get your email address for spam from merely visiting a site unless you register it or give it to them. But you can experience pop-ups.

Hola ...The old mule heads south for the 4th! Anyone want to meet up at the Del Rey or News Cafe? Gotta admit I 'm a little paranoid about all the crackdown posts I 've been reading lately...Whats Up With all that,Oh hell can't be as bad as Cuba right!

How is everyone? This is my first post and I have seen this site for about a year now. I have never been to any massage palors but have been to a few strip clubs and done plenty of site seeing. CR is a wondeful place and my best club experienace has been D'Pelufo which has a web site. They offer two drinks with a 3500.00 colonie entry and a raffle ticket for a free pivate dance. There is no girls asking you to ever buy them drinks and the private dances are 6,000 colonies with up to 6 of your friends and lap dances 1,000 colonies. Many of my friends have gotten BBBj's from the dances in the private rooms for the 6,000. They also have two lesbian shows with two or more chicas but get there at 10pm or so. I spend most of my time getting tattoos here and 506 Tattoo is a clean place located on ave. 10 and calle 11 it is $100.00 for a three hour session and the artist Hiram is top quality very clean place. I guess after a year of watching I have somethings to say. The tourism is good here and I recommend Quepos for fishing, for four people it is like $130.00 each on Blue fin or flamigo, these are boats. Alot of people just go to the pier and get out there with the leftover boats for a discount but remember to tip if you do well. There is also to strip clubs/hotels out that way and the girls are 5-8 for a asking price of $100.00 for 1-1/2 hours. The girls will also fish with you at a price of $20.00 dollars to the captian for the extra food and beer. The girl will go for free. Anyway you guys keep it safe and keep your passports handy been here for a few years and they are really cracking down on illegals, drunk drivers and anything else you can think of that did not matter before.

Since I am now a member I would like to know if anyone knows
a good call in service and what would be the prices/quality?
Any names would be good if anyone has had a good time
with these type of services. Thank you.

JCartero,

I get in around 12:30pm Wednesday, I'll be staying at the Prez.

Look me up, I'll have breakfast each morning early at the News Cafe. I'm 6'2", heavy, short gray goatee with reallly long gray pony tail. I'll have on a CRS Shamas teeshirt.

A bunch of us are planning to meet Saturday 9-10am at the News Cafe.

Shamas

I just finished an all too brief 24 hours in San Jose, staying at the Real Inter-Continental. I´ve been here before, but still chose to have a hotel driver take me around. We first looked in on two higher class strip clubs: Pure Platinum and Elite. My impression is that they are just like the clubs in Turkey and Cyprus, designed to separate you from as much money as possible. It was too late for New Fantasy (which closes at 9 PM) and my driver strongly recommended against Idem, saying that the police are always being called in. Across the street is Eros, which I´ve been to before when it had no name at all. The cost is $60, but the girls definitely expect a tip. On the other hand they don´t watch the clock too closely and you can get in a few sessions. Be warned that the place is kind of run down. I lucked into one hot chick, an 18 year old blonde Colombian with a great body and an OK face named something like Jocelyn. Having read all the recent horror posts about the Blue Marlin, I decided to go there next. I can report unequivocally that it was full swing with the girls outnumbering the guys. For the uninitiated, it´s just like my favorite clubs in Dubai where every girl in the place is available. I have to echo the advice of others--take your time and review the selection and chat them up. Don´t be shy! You´ll find that the less attractive women are aggressive--one literally got right in my face and said "don´t you remember me" before admitting she was kidding. I was surprised by the recent arrival of some Chinese women. The going rate still seems to be $100 unless you´re a good negotiator. I had no hassel taking one back to my hotel.

I would tend to take that remark with a grain of salt. I have had great experiences at this place, high quality, good prices.

Look for your "going rate" to rise in the near future, if many more become of the same mind.

Keith,

When I went to Eros earlier this year (Feb, I think), it ran about $40.

The selection was sort of lame (6 girls), but it was earlier in the day, so that could be the reason. I don't think more than 15 could fit in there.

I'd almost say that your driver was getting a finders fee for bringing you there. I have heard of NO raids on Idem whatsoever.

New Fantasy is very nice, but Idem girls are on average, nicer looking. Karla is very nice there, and Don Gordo has some other good recomendations there.

The girls will try to get what they can get. Sit down at the bar for a few minutes and check them all out. I had so much ass rubbed against me as I sat there for 1/2 an hour, that it was like getting a lap dance for the complete time for free.

I think that some of Colombian girls are pretty rock solid on their $100 price, but go a little later, and you'll find the prices start dropping.

Jaimito,

A couple of weeks ago I went to Eros on a Saturday night, about 10 p.m, with a gringo I met at the Blue Marlin. The quoted price was 23,000 colones, 4 girls to choose from. We passed and walked across the street to Idem, 17,900 colones, were about 20 girls, several top shelf ones to choose from, we both left with smiles.

You are right about timing at Blue Marlin. Fewer girls than gringos, not good. But when they say $100 dollars, as always, I say "viente mille colones" (50 dollars). Often they jump on it, 8 to 10s in looks. Negoiation, is the way it is supposed to be. This is not America. This is not a regulated massage place or brothel. These are independany contractors. But if they are snobby or do not care to venture a counter offer, then it is probably not a girl I would want to take a chance on anyway, screening process... If the girl is really interesting and amiable, but dead set on a C note, I give them a chance to earn it TLN or in two hours, assuming I have not already been very active that day and am tired.

Afinidad

Keith, I agree with Jaimito, the cab driver was on the take...Idem has to be one of the best things going....prices; ease, laid back; quality of women for the price; everything...willingness to change dollars at the cash register (at a fair rate)....so, next time a cabbie says go here instead, figure he is looking for an insider piece of the action.

I went to Eros once too, and don't believe it anywhere competes with Idem, in fact, I walked in and walked out...

As far as BM and the ladies and what you learned, you are right on...remember that now the rainy season has started in full swing and things are much slower....girls can be negotiated; but it depends on the girl, how much money she has been making, all kinds of things...girls that are hot and have a lot of business hold their price; it all depends on lots of things..

Glad you enjoyed your trip...I am going in late July, will be interested to check out what you call Chinese...could they be Filipinas? Or, are they really Chinese? I will make a point to spend some time talking to one or two and get their story..will post here when I get back...

Keith

You got ripped off by your friendly taxi driver. $60 at Eros includes a commission for him . The reason that he steered you away from Idem is that Roberto will no longer pay any commission to taxi drivers. The price at Idem is 16000 colones or approx. $40 US. You will always get a better price by paying in colones rather than dollars.

I am gald Arte closed down. It was such a dump with filthy rooms and bored, smelly girls. I think New Fantasy did them in. Darwinism my friend, let the best survive.

I typically shower with mine first and enjoy helping them. Not a single smelly girl in CR out of about two dozen, and most smelled outright good. I have been more than pleased.

Question: Is anyone aware of any massage places or safe brothels that are open all night or to the wee hours of the morning? The Del Rey can turn into a sellers market at times and I`d like to be able to look at other options if they are there. Thanks.

Club 40 and Vips 2 Molino Rojo and Margarita Dos are tico operations that are open at least until midnight. I think Vips2 stays open longer than that.
These areclubs where you can get a drink and or a chica for a reasonable price. Check out lumps map for the locations. You can find a link to lumps map at my webpage: www.dongordo.com

DG

Molino Rojo is usually open until 4am or so. Some of the girls leave at 3 or 3:30 though. This was as of my last visit there, in December of 2002.

The rooms aren't much, but you can find some nice girls there. They used to get the standard half hour fee, and not bother you if you stayed over 10 or 20 minutes. The last time, however, they were knocking on the door at 30 minutes.

I've been "vacationing" in CR for over 10 years and never had a problem with the law like at the Del Rey the other night, I called the DR at their toll free number and was reassured that as long as I had my passport on me there would be NO problem. The guy said there were about 5 guys there without passports and they were taken down to the station and checked out and later brought back to the hotel. As long as you have it then no problem.I'd suggest some kind of pants with a deep pocket or like the Dockers they sell now with hidden pockets
See Y'all at the Prez in August.

Mujerero,

Deep or hidden pockets will not help if your pants are lying on the floor and your eyes are not on them.

My experience with international travel is minimal, but for some reason many strongly advise Americans to keep their passports stored in a hotel or room safe. The reason is obvious, if it does turn up missing, you are going to be subject to delays, and will have to go through a lot of trouble to get another so you can get home. I heard it suggested that you scan your important documents and e-mail them to yourself before leaving home. This helps.

I do not know how often passports get stolen or of the cash value of them. If someone knows more on this, please share.

It looks like the Costa Rica monger is left with three choices, carry it and take a chance on losing it, not carry it and take a chance of getting temporarily detained, or find a lawyer and have a certified photo-copy made. Sooner or later, perhaps someone will post information on an inexpensive and easily accessible lawyer to perform this service. They would, of course, be very unlike an American lawyer. lol

This could be a blessing in disguise, if it slows down the influx of over-paying gringos. Naaa, wishful thinking. lol

NO MORE TOPLESS BARBERSHOP

On my last trip to SJO, I discovered that the topless barbershop, (Peluqueria Bikini), no longer exists. There was a big fire and the entire block was burned to the ground. If they re-locate, I`ll post the location as soon as I find it.

What's the cheapest decent hotel in downtown San Jose to stay in if I don't care if I can bring a girl back to my room? I plan on hanging out at New Fantasy during the days. I only need a place to sleep.

guys,

there seems to be a deeper problem and we need to get to the bottom of this. in may there was some conference in costa rica to talk child abuse prevention. it seems some kids in cr have been exploited in the sex trade. its also true that too many hookers in cr are overstaying or illgally staying there without visas.

to show the public that they care, the police are using strong arm tactics. so you must do everything by the rules now. its not unusual in cr to find pimps who offer **** females to you. stay away from such pimps.

talking about places to find females, i still think blue marlin, new fantasy and el centro de pueblo are great places. idem and eros are great places too.

has anyone been to jaco? jaco has beetle bar where every night is like going to disney world. the quality of girls in jaco is not as good as in sj, but definitely worth at least 2 to 4 day visit. nice beaches, good restaurants, laid back atmosphere, good food, and yes some nice chicas for you. ideal place for a week's vacation, no more.

sex_god

Gentlemen,

I cannot help but observe that this is for the most part a quiet board. Trip reports come seldom, and if one wants the latest on the Costa Rica scene they pretty much need to buy a ticket and go see for themselves. This in spite of the fact that there are plenty of gringos down there every time I go that seem to know what they are doing. Maybe 98% of the users of this site are lurkers. Thanks to the site adminstrators for keeping it free, and again to all those that contribute. I would have been groping around encountering no telling what without you.

Hi Guys...Just returned from SJ and had the best time yet.Shamas sorry I missed you...went by News Cafe and some guys said I just missed you ..I was kinda busy Sat.at 9 a.m. ( ...but hey otra dias amigo).The Del Rey was totally full ...many girls.. and of course no shortage of drunken idiots.But hey that will never change.Took some wise WSG posters advice when I spotted a shy Tica by herself in the DR.He said "when they look away you got a winner" or something to that effect.BINGO!!GFE all night $60. Next night I made a rookie mistake..I was at the bar(BM) when this tica puts the make on me.Nice face ,teeth,breasts, so I say sure why not($50)...when she stood up I knew I fucked up....Fat ass. when she got naked I KNEW I fucked up. Her belly was fat and looked like Zorro had been there.Couldn't even fuck her so gotta BJ ( no orgasm) and sent her on her way.She even wanted taxi $ ...Yeah sure....So she said muy malo....whatever. O.K. enough of that....Now I went to New Fantasy Sat. around 10 a.m. and hooked up with Wanda because I had heard so much about her....It's all true and then some...What a blow job!!!Never got around to fucking her because she drained me.Try her you will not be dissappointed. DonGordo Wanda said tell you "hello"

A bit of a late report, but better late than never. I was in CR for 5 days over Memorial Day weekend. I had spent the better part of 6 months planning and using the resources from this web site and several others. The purpose of my trip was to deep sea fish on the Pacific coast and get laid. In doing my research, the problem I ran into was that the areas with good fishing in May didn't have chicas, so my buddies and I needed to bring them from SJ. We only had 4 days at the beach, so spending a day in SJ to pick just the right one wasn't an option. We had to line something up ahead of time, and that took time, patience, and lots of research, but itworked.

Now I know many of you guys are partial to Ticas, but I gotta tell you, I was with the most unbelievable Nica you could imagine. She was no more than 5'2" tall, weighed maybe 80 lbs, perfect white teeth and great oral hygene (brushed her teeth after every meal). She is 21 years old, and no kids. She is an active yoga student, and we contorted her body in ways I could only dream of. She was an aggressive kisser, wanted to hold my hand all the time in public, got jealous if I looked at other women, but she only paid attention to me. We fucked morning, afternoon and nights. The deal we arranged was $150 per day. On our trip together, she went fishing with me, we rented quattro ciclios (4-wheelers), we did a canopy tour, and she was game for all of it. Never bitched moaned or complained about anything. She was up for everything except a visit to the greece. (Side note: my buddies girl went on the rag the first night, and he told her he would keep her there if she would do anal, otherwise she was gone. Let's just say she got to stay and he pounded the chocolate starfish daily).

As for the different activities...Turo means harder (I thought she was trying to call me a bull by saying toro, boy was I wrong). I could move her feet behind her head and just have nothing but pussy looking up at me. She loved having her tits twisted and squeezed, while I am pounding her as hard as I can. Spanking her ass hard during doggie made her real wet. Going cowgirl, she just took the full length over and over and over again. Evertime we were together, we both had to shower afterwards from sweat pouring off of us. It was gymanstic style sex at its finest.

My last day in country was to be spent around San Jose. On the ride back from the beach, I told her she was free to go. She asked if she could stay with me. She said I don't want your money, I just want you. I said sure, no problem.

I had a cab take us to her apartment so she could pick up a change of clothes. She has a pretty nice place with security. This girl isn't doing bad. She told me about some of her regulars that gave her a computer and scanner/printer, another one that gives her the cell phone. She claimed she was the best actress in Costa Rica when it came to men. (That's a statement that never leaves you, was she acting with me? Nahhh, she couldn't be this good, could she?).

I checked into the Presidente with her (no TSM rate when you check in with a girlfriend, but this way she didn't have to sign the log book and she felt special flashing her own room key). Boy did that pay off in spades for me. She was telling people I was her boyfriend. We spent my last night there, fucking like rabbits and did the same the following morning.

Since then we have stayed in contact. She is totally hooked on me, and I could be on her. She told me that she is now my girlfriend and I can only spend time with her. When I come to visit again, I will stay at her apartment, no hotel. She said she will be my slave to be with me again. The best part is and I quote from her, "You are not business, you are my boyfriend."

Guys, when she works, she works the Beatle Bar in Jaco. Her English is pretty damn good, but she doesn't let all her customers know that she is fluent. She hates the Blue Marlin because there are too many drugs and the ladies can be bitches.

I am going to visit her next week. No hotel, no money. I used FF Miles to get there, she's picking me up at the airport, we're staying at her place. I'm bringing $300 cash for 5 days no credit cards. The $300 should cover food, exit tax and sightseeing. She said we are going to make tortillas together by hand and it will be very sexual. Dudes I can't wait to see if she is serious in all she says. She also told me that I will be the first to have her COMPLETE body, anywhere I want.

I don't want her to know about the boards or about my posts, but if any of you are in CR next week, let me know. We can make plans ahead of time to meet for lunch someplace. I will have her with me so we won't talk about the hobby or the boards since she would understand all of it. When asked how we know each other, the answer from me is always, "We emailed each other from postings on a CR vacation website. I was looking for different tourist sites and your email with information was there."

Follow-up post from next weeks trip, soon.

Real-Thrill - Nice report. It's good to see some new reports.

I believe the word you're looking for is "duro", not "turo". Nica pronuciation can slur stuff a bit.

I had a nice Nica in Managua earlier this year that was a great GFE. She was a non-pro that I picked up in dance place, and it worked out very nicely.

I guess I mostly subscribe to the FFF philosophy, but I do wish you really good luck with your novia.

A little word of precaution. If you do want to bring them back it can be VERY difficult. Even, if you marry them.

Thanks for the clarification. I asked her after our first session what she was trying to say and she said harder. Funny thing is no matter how hard I was pounding, she always wanted more. Thus the reason for the sweat.

I'm not planning on bringing anyone back. Now if she were to get her own tourist visa and come up here and need a place to stay, I'm cool with that. Then again, she gives up the chocolate starfish, swallows it all, and never asks me for a dime, then I may have to consider that. Just not in the cards right now. I'm about a 3rd of the way through a divorce, and am not interested in getting married again.

I'm just hoping that everytime I visit I have a free favorita waiting. I call her "Mi Novia de Costa Rica".

Now, I need to line up a Novia de Rio...de Buenos Aires, ...de Thailand, ....you get the idea.

Getting there for the first time on Friday 7/11.

Would love to meet up with you Real-Thrill. I am open except for Sunday when I am going on the catamarran(?).

One last question mavens: How much do I tip in the New Fantasy? I want to memorable to Wanda without being patronizing, ugly, or spoiling it for you guys.

Also, how about tips on other providers in the New Fantasy.

Can't wait!

Mongo-
2-5000 colones is plenty and incremental depending on service.

Real-thrill-
What dates are you there?
I'll be there 17-25

Afinidad-
I believe the reason for slowness is that there are a couple of active CR only or CR dominant sites that are seeing alot of action. Not going to spam for them here though.

Sex God--
You are right, enforecement is up for political reasons, and that is a good thing!!

JustGotBack--
Hotel Imperial is the best cheap hotel. About $4 on calle 8

Keith--
Eros is 16,000 unless you pay a taxi commission. Girls and service at IDEM blow this place away.

Jungle 1--
I've been wanting to try De'Pelufo--
those prices sound reasonable. How do you get the BBJ? Just ask for a private room for $20?

Thanks,

CG

Mongo -

I've never been pressured for a tip there. I'd say give 10-50 percent, depending on what kind of service you got. I think I gave her about $10 plus a few thousand colones I had.

Up until Argentina, Wanda was my best ever. If I were on a budget, a 1/2 with Wanda for $17 would be the best money I could spend, I think. Certainly in CR, anyway.

Caribbeangringo,

Thanks for the insight. I guess my heart is here as this is where I was first enlightened, plus it is very user friendly and I try to avoid pay sites. Things are picking up though, bravo gentlemen.

Mongo,

What I do on New Fantasy and tips. I usually go there during the day, first stop, when I will have the fastest recovery time. I skip the massage and shower and get right to the action. Once I blow I offer her 5000 colones for more action (the rest of the hour). Then it is time for a long bbbj in the steam room. Usually do not cum again, save it for the next stop.

If you want bargains, go to 747 but they close about 6 I think, 4000 colones 1/2 hour. Just any cabbie may not know where it is, but the ones around the Del Rey should. The 747 girls may not be as inspired as the New Fantasy Girls, depends of course. Take the "Lump`s Map," and try the VIPs places, also inexpensive.

Go to Idem, great quality, $50, enjoy, again, cabbies around the Del Rey know where it is. Late at night, go to the Del Rey, offer $50, be ready to let them walk. You`ll find something. Have fun.

I'm in CR on the 15th through the 19th. I'm going to use Cindy as my tour guide and my taxi negotiator. I need to bring her with, because I could never explain to a taxi how to get back to her apartment if I left there by myself. The street system outside of town is fucked up.

I went out in my home town last night with my hobby buddy to a local gentleman's club. Total spent on the night (from 8pm - 12am) $160. Services received: 12 ounce Filet Dinner, 3 Diet Cokes, my ass grabbed, and me grabbing ladies ass, dick fondling by the girls and pussy and tit fondling by me <grin>. Then I found this little Indonesian with a body to die for. $100 for Digital insertion in her pussy and ass, standing in the booth dancing naked together, a HJ and Fuck all in the club.

Shoes, pants, underwear, shirt off. Only wearing my socks cause you never know who's splooge is on the floor in these places. I love getting freaky in the clubs. More details in my local section coming up.

Later,
Real

Good post. I went to CR for the first time in May and I can't wait to get back.

Hey Folks!

I just came back from Thailand, and I loved it. I am about to start a Ph.D. program in Florida, and I think I want to go to Costa Rica for my next vacation (it will most likely be next summer).

How much does it cost to get a decent hotel there?

How much is food and beer?

Where are the best places to stay?

How much is companionship?

Are the people happy to have tourists?

Thanks for you information! Warm Regards all!

Chris

So I landed last night. Or early this morning depending on your point of view. I'm staying at the Gran Hotel for the first two nights. I was planning on moving to the Morazan to have the option of bringing someone back, but I've decided to go to the Royal Dutch. The Imperial was just far to far to walk in the middle of the night and I need my own bathroom to shower often during the coarse of a day. I decided against the Morazan for three reasons. First, I stopped by BM last night. As full as ever of chicas and ugly Americans. Come on guys, show some class. There weren't any stunners there I wanted for the asking price. Second, I went to New Fantasy this morning. About the same quality and a fixed price. And lastly but not least, Morazan was booked solid.

So I chose Azul this morning at NF. She says it was her first day working. Based on the fact that she didn't know there were lockers for you to use while in the Sauna, I believe it. I had to even show her where the shower room was. She's about 5'6", hazel eyes and blond her. She's going to 22 on Saturday and put in a good effort. Not the best I've had but good. She told me she had a 8 year old daughter which shocked me. Also, NF has only cold or really cold showers. I just quickly rinse and head straight back to the hotel to really shower. That oil is tough to get off.

I'm walking down to IDEM tonight. I read everyone's warnings about walking around at night and I just don't get it. I always wander all over the place in the middle of the night and I haven't had even a hint of trouble.

Here's an important question. Is there any place to go on Sunday? The last time I was here everything was closed and getting a girl from BM isn't an option since I think Royal Dutch is not chica friendly.

Also, are we sure Gran Hotel isn't chica friendly? It's not like anyone stops you on the way to the room. Half the time there's not even anyone at the front desk. A girl asked me last night where I was staying and I told her Gran Hotel. She didn't think it was a problem.

JustGotBack,

The Gran Hotel has always been chica friendly, at least since the early 1990's, just no AC.

But... if you ever want a good place to take a "date" or "dates" when your hotel isn't convenient or won't let you bring her or THEM in, get your Taxista to take you to the Motel Paraiso, a "no tell motel" with AC, Jacuzzi bathtub, pink lights under the bed, stereo and even TV if you want, and NOBODY ever sees your face, NO questions asked, no Cedula needed, just hand them the money through a little window and they hand you towels, refreshments, condoms, etc very convenient. I think its cash only, and also colones only. This place caters mostly to upscale locals. This isn't the only place like it, but as I recall it was really the nicest.The Taxi just drives in and finds an open garage door and you go in and pull the door down, then you go in and pay through the window in the room.
Get the taxista's phone # and call him when you're ready, or he'll come back when he's ready which isn't at all cool.

P.S. You should never pay the asking price at the key Largo or the Blue Marlin.

sundays are a little harder. i'd choose vips molino rojo, for a tico experience. about $15, for 1/2 an hour, i think. includes crummy room. not up to nf standards, but you can find some decent chicas in there.

most of the girls are not aggressive. if you see something you like, wave her over. usually 20-25 girls during the peak times, maybe 15 on sunday or during the week (mon-wed). the sometimes show porno on their tvs, and have a dancer every hour or so.

cover is usually one beer (500-600 colones), sometimes 2 beers (1000-1200) during the busy time. sunday should be one beer. you get a ticket or two at the door.

a little like tijuana in some ways. the neighborhood is a little rough. i'd take a taxi, i think. i usually drive there, but i have a car in cr, so it different for me.

the staff is pretty friendly, and looks out for you pretty well.

if you really want to scrape bottom, try margaritas. 4 or 5 girls, and a super crappy room. i only went there once a few years ago, and it was not worth the money ($10).

most of the girls are 3-7 range.

jsut got back:

I have taken a lady into the Gran Hotel more than once. I just had to register her and pay the extra person charge, approx $10 at the time..she had to leave an ID that she would recover on her way out....

There used to be working girls hanging around there, especially at the terrace cafe out in front, and in the plaza, but they have since cut out all the commotion of the little stands selling stuff there and reducing that volume of people around there, so I hven't seen as many in recent years..

And, it takes a trained eye to spot a working girl there....they have to be careful because the management doesn't want them there...needto approach them like they were just single girls, looking for a date and be careful..but they are there from tiime to time...

but bringing one back isn't a problem to Gran Hotel..

I went to Idem last night around 10 pm. There were about 6 girls there. I managed to hang out with a local monger and chat with him for a while. He recognized me from NF earlier in the day. After he started talking to me, I remembered he was the guy standing next to me while we were checking out the line up. He said that Columbia was much better. I should have just taken the hint when he didn't partake and left after an hour. I on the otherhand picked this cute 19 year old. She's about 5'6", brunette, cute face. Her name is Alejandra and she's been working for 3 months. The best thing I can say about her is that she has nice full firm tits that only a 19 year can have. They were natural and they reached out for you. Other than that she was horrible. I got the old rush job which is unusual in Idem. All the other times the girls will take up the full hour and massage you after your done. For a lack of a better description. She just seemmed a somewhat of a clean freak. I attribute it all to inexperience. When will I learn that the young ones just don't know what they are doing yet? It cost 17000 for the girl and 1100 for the drink. It also cost me 500 for the condom since I didn't bring one. All in all I don't see why I would pay an extra 10 bucks at Idem when I can get a better selection of girls, better rooms and a better experience at NF. Idem is open after 9 unlike NF.

I've only been to Idem once, but there were about 20 girls when I went there (Fri night).

Don Gordo recommended Karla and she was a nice selection. Ask Roberto for a recommendation, if you're not sure.

I do wish that NF was open to at least midnight.

I went to NF again today at around 4 pm. They greeted me like an old friend. My first time was yesterday. I asked if Wanda was available and one of the girls said yes and called her over. She's everything that people have said. She's great.

I have some sad news. Wanda told me that tomorrow, Saturday, is her last day giving massages. She's quitting that part of the business. I think we ruined it for her. She told me that while the money was great, all the clients coming in and asking for her was just too much. She specifically mentioned the internet as part of the problem. She said she didn't have time to relax, didn't have time to eat and she was so tired. She said that the owners are opening up another NF, NF II, and they offered her a management position. So she's going to do that instead. Let's all have a moment of silence.

I'm at the Royal Dutch hotel now. It's the opposite of Gran Hotel. The Gran has a great exterior but the rooms don't live up to that. The Dutch has a horrible, relatively, exterior but the rooms are much better. If they would invest in a few dollars of paint, the rooms would be great. It's $10 a night cheaper.

Justgotback....Sorry to hear Wanda is out.I was with her twice last week...the second time I could tell she was tired.She said her hands were hurting from all the "massages" and her internet noteriety . Guess thats the price she pays for her oral fame.Maybe she can instruct her new employees at NF2 on the art of the blowjob....God Bless Her

Slight delay on my 4th of July trip report. Got in on Thursday 3 July on Delta at 12:25pm. My check on bag stayed in Atlanta, other than that it was a great trip down. Checked in at the Presidente, had room 616 which was quite nice. Called "E" and arranged for her to show up at 5pm. Did the initial shopping and cleaning up and a quick nap. "E" was right on time and we were off. I can't say enough about her, pretty as can be, nice as all get out and very versitile. After our session we got a call from Nononsense, he was at the Royal Dutch and we set up a meeting. Had dinner with "E" in the News Cafe. Sadia waited on us, she's a sharp honey who gets hit on more times than any of our working ladies. We hooked up with Non' & "A" for a drink and some socializing at the RD's resturant. Wish Ace had been there, sure did miss him this trip. The RD is the sister hotel to the Morazon and I'll stay there next trip.

Hit a few of the bars that night and hit the bed early.

Friday morning met up with Non' for breakfast. Denver came by and joined us. That afternoon Non' and self went to Jocelyn's. They had a backhoe blocking the door that was digging up the sidewalk for new water lines. I figured the place was closed so I headed back to the hotel. Non' looked around and found out it was open. Denver had come by so the two of them jump the machine and went in. Non' found one of his favorites a short time later standing outside talking so he got her inside for a nooner. Denver took another lady and was most satisfied.

I was waiting on my bags and checked, Delta had them on the way to the hotel. It started to pour down rain so I stayed in. My bag showed up and the staff put it in my room, "Raq" showed up which surprized me. Her exit road floods easily during heavy rains but she made it. She was soaked to the bone. In the room she dried off and was walking around in her bra/panties with her hair up in a towel, remined me of being married. We took care of two things at once, she blew me while I used the hair dryer on her pants. Didn't want her to catch a cold going home. "Raq" is really pretty and this visit was our second. She does get better with each visit. Her oral skills are very good and our visit was as much as I could hope for. I offered dinner afterwards but she had to get home, no baby sitter.


Met up with Rovineye and two dudes from Chicago (can't remember their names). "R" from Hawaii came by and sat with us as did Denver. Nice little group for dinner. Rovineye and myself went to the Park Hotel show that night, the big boys from ChiTown got waylaid at the BM. At the show we met Buck and a few other guys. Show was pretty good and I only saw three of the old time girls, lots of new ones. Didn't win a free bj so we went out and hit a few bars and I ended up having my last beer at the Prez oogling Sadia.

Saturday morning we had our mongers breakfast. 11 guys showed up or 12 if you count the two times BH showed up. He's quite a characture and full of fun. He told us that he shops at the very exclusive jewlery stores in Fla. Yep the most exclusive, Dollar General Store. He had a new girl from the BM the day before, he had given her a gold necklace before their sessions and she loved it. During a break in the action she saw a watch BH had. She just had to have it and BH just had to have so butt. She traded even. BH got his butt for a buck and a half. My type of guy. Rovineye, Denver, Duce & the Cleveland buttnutts showed up as did Broker. The dudes from ChiTown came by also. Lots of tales told and notes passed. Got to do this more often. A girl I had a session with a year ago from the Key Largo came in with her escort. I hadn't seen her around and had wondered where she was, she told me she was working on the coast.

That afternoon Rovineye, Broker and self went to Jocelyn's. Some nice looking girls but we all passed. I'll hit it next time as Non' had some high praises for a few of them.

That night we had dinner at Tomy Paprikas out in San Padro. Non' & "A", me & "E" (her second visit) and "R" from the Hombra site with his buddy. They were stood up by their dates but they still had a great time. The food was delicious and the company was first class, a memorable meal. Took "E" to the room afterwards and again she did her 'thing' with me. I did mention how pretty and nice "E" is.

It was late when we finished but I still headed out for a few beers. Met up with SJO at the Key Largo and saw Buck again. Met up with Johnny Astro dot com, will look up his site in a few days. Saw a few old girls there that I know but was worn out so headed in.

I'll finish up the last two days tomorrow, it's late I need my rest.

God, we wore poor Wanda out. It almost makes me want to cry. She seemed like a really nice chica, I hope the other place turns out well. NF overall seems like a place that has a really good attitude for us guys.

When I saw her, I think she said she wanted to open a beauty salon at some time in the future. If she can teach some new girls her skills, NFII will always be a very popular place.

Shamas,

Where are you finding these girls? Internet sites, or previous dates? Prices would also be a help, so we can see what the going rates are.

Trip report continued
Sunday morning had breakfast with Denver and a few of the CleveOh guys. Since Arte Y Sauna is closed (now a hotel) didn't have anything to do that early. Saw SJO and his friend so I spent some time trading notes with them. SJO had done some escort services and had some good info on one nice looking girl. Saw Non' for a bit and had "A" in during the early afternoon. She was right on time. Now "A" is a petite baby doll who I have my most fun with. She is oh so nice and has great oral skills. As reported on my Memorial Day trip report, she will suck on and on and on and watch while she is working out to see what makes you twitch and jerk. We played in the shower for a while then hit the rack for her special sucking. Got some titty hunching along the way. Hated to see her leave but two hours are plenty for me.

Rovineye and Broker had gone to the country side that day, hope they had a good excursion.

That evening we had dinner at the Gran Hotel Cafe, Non', "E" and myself. "Raq" had her usual problem with a baby sitter and missed a great free meal. "E" was as pretty and sweet as always which just makes me melt. Non' treated as it was my birthday and the food was very good. I'll eat there more often on my future visits. We went back to the Prez after dinner, finally talked to "Raq" on the phone she was heading in. "E" was upset with her as was Non'. I gave "E" my CD/clock radio to take home (I take one down each trip for entertainment). She really appreciates the tokens.

Up early Monday and had my stuff ready to go. Hit NF at 9am for my last lick of the trip. Had two girls whos names I didn't catch. Had a first experience. When we had finished the massage I wanted a bbbj, sure enough. One of the girls got between my legs and sucked on my balls while the other one sucked on me. The ball sucking in concert with the dick sucking was great.

Got to the airport and saw SJO and another newbie I'd seen at the Park Hotel show. SJO had a girl standing outside the airport calling to him, oh baby I love you. Nice to have them follow you. Trip home was pretty good. SJO, newbie and myself spent the time reviewing SJOs pics in the smokers room.

Don't remember if I mentioned it but Non' had the suite at the RD. Great room! Has a glass enclosed shower/jacuzzi so you can lay in bed and watch the girls shower. Makes for very easy picture taking and entertainment. "BH" had the suite at the Morazon and he called it a football field.

JC

"E", "A" & "Raq" are all friends that I met through Nononsense & Ace. They have ties to the Park Hotel and still work there sometimes. They come to my hotel and spend at least two hours and NEVER rush or *****. They work real hard on the massage that I live for and when they leave I generally give them $60 and some voodoo packs of body wash. The two hours are anything and everything I can muster up, no limits.

A girl Rating - "Raq" is the prettiest of the three and very nice. "A" is pretty and a truely nice lady who everyone loves. "E" is the oldest (34), pretty, nice and just makes me melt. "E" is my favorite and I could just sit and talk with her for days on end. "A" is second by just a hair and "Raq" is just a nose behind. All three are the best I've met in CR and I'll continue to see them as long as they'll see me.

Time to go, planning on Labor Day (7days) and Thanksgiving (9days).

I'm going to try and talk Ace into staying at the RD also, if not will met him daily at the Prez and do our thing with Non'.

Life IS Good

Shamas O'Dognasty

A newbie here heading down in a few weeks on business mostly but was wondering if the master suite at the Presidente is good?

Thank for a reply and all the info I have readup on here over the last few months.

Hey Jaimito Cartero:

A few posts back you mentioned VIP's Molino Rojo. Do you know if it's possible to take girls out of that place or do you have to do them there? If they can leave before closing do you know if there is any fee for the salida? Have any idea what their hours are?

This is one of the places I want to check out on my next trip and would appreciate any input. Thanks,

Mexpat

Shamas,

I missed something...which hotel does RD stand for? Sounds great. Thanks.

Just Got back,

Any idea when and where NF2 will open?

Thanks all,

CG

I think Shamus is talking about the Royal Dutch when he says RD. That's where I'm staying now.

Wanda said the new place should be open in 2 to 3 weeks. She doesn't know where it is yet.

I forgot to mention this yesterday. But the quality of BM has totally risen since my first report. I think I was just there to late my first night after the flight.

I always stop by BM for a nightcap. Last night I also stopped by Key Largo. It's definitely hopping compared to a year ago when it was just dead. What kind of quality should you expect? The same as at the BM. And I do mean exactly the same since the girls are the same. They must have a secret tunnel entrance from BM to KL. When I left BM I smiled at a girl sitting there at the bar. By the time I got to KL, she was already there dancing with some guy. I noticed that a lot more BM girls showed up while I was there. They came in large groups by some back entrance.

JustGotBack,

Good Stuff.

What are the rates at the RD? Might have to switch from the Presidente.

Thanks,

CG

My buddy Real-Thrill and I were headed to Costa Rica. Real was our travel coordinator and told me we had to line something up, because there was nothing at the beach. He was correct, but I still ended up taking one for the team. Here's my review.

Real had lined up several different options. He had the name and email addy of his date, and he locked in on her real fast. He continued to line up other options for me, and I had to make a decision on which option I wanted. I decided on the sister of Real's date. Her name is Francis and she is 28 years old. She has a 5 year old in Nicaragua that she is supporting.

When I arrived at the hotel in Tamarindo, a day after Real and the ladies arrived, I was introduced to Francis. She was an average looking lady, and I would rate her a 6. Off to the room we went because I was tired of the all day travel and was ready to blow a load.

Not that I'm bragging, cause I'm not, but I have a hard time cumming. I don't have a problem getting hard or staying hard, it's just that I can fuck for an over an hour and not cum. American Ho's can't handle the time it takes to get me off, and always seem to want sessions to end as quick as possible. The Americans have to stop to take breaks or change positions. Well many times that just resets my clock. I did not encounter that problem at all in Costa Rica.

Francis, fucked and sucked me for as long as I needed, and never complained. Her English was passable and her sex skills were great. She aimed to please.

On the second day, I wake up and there's blood on the sheets. Her Red Tide came in during the night. Damn, I'm pissed. That is unacceptable when she knew this was the week we were to be together. If this was her rag time, she should have made other plans for me.

I told her I would pay her for 2 days and buy her a bus ticket back to San Jose. She begged and cried to stay. I said fine, but I'm not paying, and she agreed. That night, she was very cold since I had the AC cranked on high. She asked if she could come over to my bed, and I said sure, then she slowly progressed to a HJ, BJ, and a booty call.

Although she wasn't getting paid for sex, she was staying in the room, getting food from me, and she was giving up the chocolate starfish and humming on demand.

We both made the best of the rest of the long weekend. When we arrived back in San Jose, it was time for me to cut her loose, and start some serious fucking.

Off to the BM for my first round. Can't give you names, because I didn't care about the names of the ladies I was with. I walk in, pick the hottest looking chick in there, tell her let's go. Of to the Presidente for hour 1. Finish all the activiites with her, and back to the BM. Well guess who shows up in the bar? None other than Francis. She begs me to take her back with me. I tell her no thanks I'm on a mission. I then pick Chica #2. Of to the Presidente for an hour and then back to the BM. Time for chica #3, but Francis is right there next to me, no problem, I pick chica 3 and off we go.

This time the security guys at the Presidente are laughing their asses off at me. I finish with chica 3, and head back to the BM. Francis is still there and in near tears as I haven't taken her back, I'm pretty tired at this point, and tell her, come back but no money and no sex. She agrees. Well we get to the room, and guess what. The red tide is gone, and the fun is on. Fucked her long and hard in all sorts of different positions and passed out. Wake up in the morning and kick her out. No money no breakfast, just a great fuck.

I took one for the team in terms of looks, but had one with a great attitude considering the circumstances. I plan on heading back with Real in the near future, but I won't take another one for the team. I'll make sure I have exactly what I want this next trip.

Hey Folks, sorry I am new to the area, what is the difference between a Nika and a Tika?

Thanks for the input!

I read here that you need to make a reservation at the Presidente to bring a guest to your room. Is this correct.

Thank you for any info you can give.

CG, the rates at RD are $28 bucks for a single. It says $40 on the wall but they are advertising for $28 in the TT. You don't have to show them an ad. It's just the price. The wall says that the best rooms, suites are $60 but those are probably lower as well. I was on the 3rd floor right about the restaurant and bar. Music will play until the wee hours of the morning. I just pop in my ear plugs and it doesn't bother me. If it bothers you just ask for a 4th or 5th floor room. I don't know why anyone would pay $60 or more at Del Rey. Sure it's a few blocks away. The walk will do you good. I moved to the good old imperial for my last night. Most of you guys wouldn't touch this place with a ten foot pole. But I'm an old backpacker at heart and it's like coming home. A few minutes after being in my room and I couldn't even tell there was a smell anymore.

Yesterday I went back to NF. I picked a Columbian named Jasmine. The front desk lady said it was an excellent choice since she's a professional massuese. I picked her because while all the other girls are just staring at the wall or the TV, she was sitting there reading a book. She gave me as good a massage as I've gotten at any professional legit massage place. And the rest wasn't bad either. Highly recommended. Once again about 5'6", brunette, bluish eyes and 24 years old.

I forgot to mention this the last post. But Key Largo was charging a 1500 C cover charge the other night. When they asked for it I just turned around and started walking away. They called me back and said that I didn't have to pay it. Something to try for you cheapies like me.

I went for my nightcap at BM last night. Definitely dead compared to Friday. There were some really cute hotties there though. There was one in particular that looked like the naughty girl next door. I was tempted. There seemmed to be more guys than girls last night. I expect today, Sunday, to be an absolute horror. These good catholic girls have to go to church on Sunday. Jasmine had on her Sunday panties yesterday. For you new guys, these places in Latin and Sud American tend to be dead on the weekends. The weekdays are the best.

JustGotBack,

Glad you liked the Imperial--used to go there about 12 years ago. Definitely a backpackers hotel.

I'll be stopping into the RD--great price, thanks. Funny, cause their website says $50 for a single.

Think I'll be looking up Jasmine as I truly appreciate a massage--for me a massage parlor visit is for a true massage as much as anything.

Mike in Miami,

As a paying guest at the Presidente, you must "sign-in" any girls you bring (one at a time) at the front desk. No charge.

hey JustGot Back,

<<There were some really cute hotties there though. There was one in particular that looked like the naughty girl next door>>

Here we are, all picturing our own naughty girl next door. Mine's skinny, nubile and horny. But I wonder what your's look like. Care to share?

CaribbeanGringo,

How about if I have the master suite which has 2 rooms. A friend of mine is taking one of the rooms and I am taking the other room in the suite. I should assume that means 2 guests are allowed in the suite at one time since there are 2 rooms. You agree. Thanks

Ps otherwise I will change to 2 regular rooms LOL

Mexpat,

Well, you can arrange about anything there. I have arranged to spend a whole night with a Domicana from there, but have not actually taken a girl out in the middle of her shift.

I recall that it's no problem. I'd think $15-$30 should handle it, for the barfine.

I took the Domicana out for dinner and a comedy show, plus some DFK and BBBJ, about 8 hours in total for $50. If it seems more like a date, I think they really enjoy it more.

You can also wait until their shift is over, and just take them then, I think.

Keep in mind that there are no 10's, or 9's here. I think I've seen one or two 8's. But it is nice to be able to give 'em a quick romp, see if you like them, and arrange more time.

And of course, the lady who hands the girl the toilet paper roll and condom wants a tip, but they're all nice folks.

I've heard the place gets wild on paydays. Haven't seen anything out of control, myself. I've been there about 9 or 10 different times over the last 4 years.

I would like to know if anyone has any info on whether the disposable or short term cell-phones are available in CR. I'm going back in August and from experiemce I know cellphones the way to communicate there.

Thanks guys

mujerero - no throw away cell phones there. actually, unless you get a new gsm cellphone from a few providers, you will have to wait 6 months to a year to even get a cell phone.

the gsm is still being brought up to speed. service is real spotty in certain areas.

you can probably rent a cell phone, though i'm not sure how much it would cost. you might check the tico times or am costa rica sites for ads.

cellphones can be rented in Costa Rica. You can find flyers in most of the hotels, but one I used was "rent a phone solutions

tel 506-222-8074, cel 506-392-1205, However, I had to place a $500 deposit against the phone. this was two years ago; it was a week that I absolutely had to have cell service when there...normally I just use my sprint card for long distance out of country and buy a locall card to access public phones.

Two years later the rates may be better; and there may be less expensive companies. Ask people at the hotel where you will be going; they probably have contacts...good luck

I got back to the good ole US of A today. It still strikes me as strange that I can wake up in a backpacker hotel in Costa Rica and be sitting home at my computer on the same day.

Nothing much to report from last night. I just spent the night drinking beers and telling tales with a couple of college kids until the wee hours of the morning. I was in my 20's again and travelling the world. Not a bad way to spend a night, not a bad way at all.

[/i][/QUOTE]Everyone said there would be tricks here in Costa Rica. Trucos, watch out, don’t talk to strangers, that kind of thing. I, of course, could never fall for this sort of thing, the problem is I have an appetite for madness. I like the crazy people, the *****s, the hustlers, especially the *****s. I can’t resist when they offer me a walk inside their personal Hell.

I meet a guy named Mario, you don't need to go looking, he finds me. The ambassador of San Jose, carrying free rental car maps, a fountain of information. He wants to take my money and personally buy my calling card when I mention that I need to make a phone call. I ask about a hotel that has a bar where the women come in great numbers to suck cock and so on: the Blue Marlin Bar, he works there! Surprise! His hands are nervous grabbing machines. I try to keep him focused and after scoring me a small amount of marijuana for too much money he is gone. I go the Olympus Bar and Nite Club where I hope to find abundant, slutty women, great Cuban music but no women. I drink, it’s six-thirty p.m. I should be at New Fantasy but I'm not and I don't feel like trying to find it, not without a drink in me, or a couple of drinks. Two Imperial cervezas and two scotches on the rocks and the place shows some life, or maybe it’s just me. The owner, or part-time owner, as he tells me, says it will pick up, dancing, massages in back…nothing happens here until after 7:30…actually pretty early, relatively speaking

The Olympus operates under the guise of a "high class" strip club, with a sex room in back. I meet an ample girl, by her smile, I don’t know if she’s ready to shove a finger up my ass or kill me, maybe both. We sit in a booth. She stares at the mirror when not speaking to me. I find her immensely appealing. She says she will do the massage thing, in other words sex, for $170. I say the owner tells me massages cost 15,000 colones (about $37). She offers me a free dance, probably to change the subject. The price goes down and down but not low enough, I tell her I’m off to find an ATM. I lie.

Now, it's too late for New Fantasy. So, the Blue Marlin Bar it is, in the lobby of the Hotel Del Rey. Just like it’s supposed to be. Women of all shapes, sizes, dispositions and colors. I buy scotch and beer. It’s very crowded and the flesh is everywhere. Mostly all women. Loud, raucous. Like a frat party with hookers.

A Dominican girl urges me to put my hand above her breasts, over her heart. She is attractive but Satanic…I offer to buy her a drink…I believe I leave my drink with her at our table <b>(this is an important detail)</b> When I come back, she has a friend, would I like to do them both for an outrageous amount of money? Why the fuck would I want that, says my internal monologue. Here’s your white wine. Several minutes go by with no interesting conversation and I start to hate them both. I leave, forgetting my cigarettes and lighter: replaceable. I make eye contact with someone I like. I trust my instincts and they say she is good, I buy her a Bailey’s on ice.

Right away I tell her I want an all nighter. I'm done with the charlatans, So I give her 40000c (about $100) and we get in a cab.

I remember going down on her, she’s on top then I am, then she's on bottom getting fucked. I'm giving it all I’ve got, which is not much on this night, then everything's blank, completely blank. I wake up 5 or 6 hours later feeling better and ready for more sex, and it just so happens that she’s still there and does this for a living. The sex is not at all inspired, she won't give me a real kiss, it's like a kiss you give a dead body that you never liked when it was alive.

Afterwards, she makes comments about my drinking the night before and the drugs. I think, what drugs? I didn’t take drugs last night.

The next morning she prepares to leave. “You have money in your shirt pocket and your pants”, she says, inexplicably. "I put matches on the table for you…a friend gave them to me” Does she need help with getting a cab? No. Very professional and responsible. With her own driver.

She makes more comments about how I was a zombie after the sex. Too much drinking, too many drugs, she says.

Now, it’s true that I have pills. Lots of them. Codeine. Valium. I take them on plane trips and whenever else I feel like it. I have quite a tolerance. A small amount won’t touch me and a large amount makes me unpredictable and prone to narcolepsy. I tell her, again, that my blacking out and such was the result of scotch and beer, not yet realizing that something is wrong

I go back to sleep and dream of cockroaches on my shoulder.

I awake with a shocking realization: I don’t get these dreams. I don’t black out, unless, unless I’ve been taking opiates or valium and mixing them with alcohol. Someone gave me something, and then I remember the Dominican woman and her slug friend, at the Hotel Del Rey. I left my scotch at her table when I went to buy her wine. I believe she drugged me!

I put antifungal cream on my balls and try to figure it out. This doesn't help, so I eat breakfast. Later, I sleep most of the day. I feel weak.

I try a strip club, the one down the street from the Hotel Morazan. There are huge cocks being sucked on the t.v. monitor inside. Black cocks, white women.

A nice Dominican, Patricia, is able to make good conversation. After about an hour of talking with her—and paying 6000 colones for two of her watered down drinks, I wish I had pretended to speak English Only. We go upstairs and have uninspired sex—why do I do this? I wonder, as I flail away. She has something like a mushroom growing out of her thigh…

I ask the taxi driver for New Fantasy: he’s never heard of it, but soon finds out with the help of his radio buddies. It’s closed, we’ve arrived after nine, the hours are 9 to 9, by the way. The driver says he found a place that some Cuban tourists really liked and we go there. Luxurious, attractive women, I leave my cigarettes in the taxi and he is a real, honest citizen, he finds me twenty minutes later and comes into the club to bring them to me. No need to mention the strip club’s name…it’s the same thing, the girls want you to buy them watered-down drinks for $6 apiece. It’s virtually impossible to find anyone, they find YOU.. Nonetheless, I have a nice conversation with a Russian girl who licks my gums when giving little kisses…she makes me come by doing sweet little private dances, rubbing my cock with her big, powerful legs. A woman, a con-artist. I get her email address...why, I don't know.

I leave to explore the slimy yet tantalizing Blue Marlin Bar again. There are all kinds, many beautiful, others not…who cares? I resolve to ignore the ones who bother me.

I decide to wander, moving constantly like a shark. It’s the only way to avoid death. The girls are touching my ass, then looking away. It's playful and fun, you have to love ‘em. One with an interesting look tells me I seem “tranquilo”, which is a good thing to say, whether you believe it or not. She is constantly looking down and making funny expressions at the ironies of life…I don’t fully believe she can be a professional…is she a lost poet? We go.

I like her body—like my ex-wife’s but with this non-confrontational Nicaraguan head on it. I run my tongue up and down her pussy, spending more and more time on the clitoris, until she finishes herself with her fingers…be less gentle with my clit she says (sometimes it is nice to get feedback) she wonders if I have any condoms. I am not prepared for this: don’t they bring their own? This is disappointing, but I’m drunk and I no longer care. She works with her hands for at least twenty minutes (though it could have been an hour). I sleep.

We sleep in and this is good…I ask her how much she wants for last night. She says she needs 45000c to get her car out of the garage. It sounds reasonable or at least plausible. Not without an honest fuck, though, I say. She promises to come back in the afternoon.I want to believe, so I do.

After breakfast, I sleep, then I give Daniela a call. She has been thinking about me, she says. She will come over soon, with condoms, with beer. An excellent beginning to the night. I wish I brought anal lubricant. Darnit.

We end up drinking wine, not beer. Good sex, good conversation. We decide to go to the beach in the morning. Jaco.

More stories later.

Well, you know that I am challenged. Hence the new Name.

So far good trip. Saw Wanda Friday and Saturday. It was worth the trip just for that. Wish her wellm but wouold love to have jsut one more time.

Had two at the NF. \never done before. They spent a lot of the time talking to each other. Women, huh? Gotta love em.

Ripped off by cashier at Del Ray. But that always seem to happen to me.

Made for tonight with bargirl at New York. Gorgeous through surgery. Make flake, though.

Saw sleazy place called Maison Hotel. May try it.

HI,any information on flight sales to sjo would be appreciated.Thanks

Chocolate starfish: In order to see this elusive beast you need to bend your tica over and look down. A hint: Its the one thats usually output only, you can get input occationally but only with much lubrication (or mas lubrication)

I stayed in the presidente room 800 it had 2 rooms, 1 with a king bed and the other with a fold out couch. I had reserved it using my TSM discount ($45) as reccomended on this fine web site.

Not the pink hole, the chocolate hole. :)

Justgotback,

Did the same young chick, Alexjandra, at Idem in June. She rocked my world and seemed truly into it, and I am real in here, am not claiming to be any Brad Pitt or great stud. We know women, may well just depend on their mood at the time, or how tired they are. I have done repeats that were great the first time and terrible the second.

For the many newbies that must go, and they are coming, a lot reading on the net, many lurkers I think:

1. Keep in mind, many of you will not move in this culture as well as the guys who have been going there for years and are fluent in Spanish. The culture is quite different.

2. Believe little of what you hear and even be ready to question what you see. Cabbies will switch bills on you. A lot of the girls will tell you that you are "special" and "not business." You will meet all sorts of gringos there, some assholes, and some cool people to chat with. Do not assume that because someone is a fellow countryman that they are worthy of trust. Also, many of these women speak more English than they lead on. Their English skills are often better in the bar than in the room, can be a matter of convenience. And, personally, I do not buy the line that most of these women are just hard up cuties that need to support their children and sick grandmothers. I am convinced many are druggies and that a lot of the so called "free sex" that is reported on these types of sites involves feeding them such. If you must feel like you are getting it for free, buy them a bunch of drinks, promise them a shopping spree or even the world and stiff them, or just get on here and lie, but do not buy dope down there. Your gringo butt may well be in a jail that makes the American ones look like the Taj Mahal for a very long time, and I doubt much of anything but a well placed substantial bribe would get you out.

3. Stay alert, do not get caught up in the euphoria, do not get wasted, keep your cash in a room safe box. Yes, you are very liable to get robbed if you do not.

4. Everyone there is very polite and courteous. That is part of the culture, but it is fair to wonder what they really think of your gringo ass. lol Be careful. You may well be percieved as a rich American that is there to take advantage of cheap Latin pussy. Some may see a bit of payback as in order. Never forget that you are in a Third World country and subject to their laws, many of which you may be unaware of. Though this is probably the safest and least corrupt country in Latin America, it`s not home.

5. The best advice on here yet probably has been to "stay out of Gringo Gulch and learn the language." Never had time to learn the language well myself and did not get out of the Gulch enough. The two go hand in hand I think. But now I have pretty much gotten bored with the place, on to something else. Had a range of experiences, good, bad, and in between.

Good luck.

I failed to mention that the main reason that I am ripoff prone is my lack of Spanish. The need to learn has been noted several times here.

Had to pass NF on the way to sleazy hotel. Couldn't pass. Glad.

Hope this info. helps

It looks like someone was so grieved about Wanda not working anymore at New Fantasy, that they jumped out of the window at the Del Rey. This is my guess anyway. (morbid humor) Either that, or he had gotten his bill for the 200 chicas that brought up to his room, and didn't realize that he had to pay money to the Del Rey!

Did someone really fall out?

Actually it appears that he jumped. Tico Times and AM Costa Rica have slightly different stories. A guy went with a girl upstairs (perhaps found out it wasn't the right Wanda?) at about 1am, then proceeded to go to the wrong floor and break into a room.

The hotel employees calmed the guy down, and thought they had it handled, and then the guy jumped out the window. 4th floor is mighty high.

You can find more info the Ticotimes website, or AM Costa Rica.

Just got an email from my amiga from SJ. Hard to decipher with her bad english...but a gringo died there ..she said he was killed and the he was in rooom 412. The way I undersood it two guys wacked him...Rumours fly in a situation like this but she said the DEl Rey is too fucked up for her.I was there last week and all was cool..Was it a suicide or did the guy get killed....She said the putas are scared of the place and more goes on than we know....Any info???

I arrive in 22 hours and plan to head straight for the scene...I'm bringing along Watson and will report our findings ASAP...of course, if we are tasked with entertaining natives, the report may be delayed!!

Apparent Suicide Rocks Hotel
By Amanda Schoenberg
aschoenberg@ticotimes.net

Rover Constance Valdís, 29, a United States citizen from Texas, fell to his death Tuesday at 1:55 from a fourth-floor window of central San José's Hotel Del Rey, according to the Judicial Investigative Police (OIJ) press office.

According to one of the owners, Valdís, who had stayed the previous night at the hotel, had displayed no unusual behavior until he kicked down the door of another guest's room and began to destroy the contents.

Two managers arrived at the scene, but after they thought he had calmed down, watched in horror as he took a "flying leap from the window." As he fell, he hit one of the security guards and was dead within minutes.

An OIJ press spokesperson said Valdís was in the first-floor casino when he reportedly said he was going to his second-floor room with a woman. Inexplicably, he continued to the fourth floor.

The OIJ is questioning witnesses and the case is under investigation by the homicide squad to determine whether the fall was indeed a suicide.

Valdís had been traveling around Costa Rica for the past few weeks and had worked at Playa Hermosa as a bartender. He was apparently staying with a recent acquaintance made while traveling.

The Hotel Del Rey owner said drugs may have provoked what appeared to be a "momentary psychotic reaction."

William, an attendant at the parking lot which faces the hotel, said he was parking a car when Valís fell. He saw the body on the ground just in front of the hotel's green awning.

"All the police came immediately and investigated, just like in the movies," he said.

American Dies Falling from Hotel Room
Robert Constance Valdez, 36, a native from Texas, fell from the fourth floor of the Hotel Del Rey, in downtown San Jose, Tuesday morning.

Although initial indications are that the man committed suicide, homicide police will be investigating the case to discard the idea after a series of version arose around the death.

One of the version include that the man may have been pushed off by another individual.

Valdez entered Costa Rica last Sunday in the company of several friends, who had planned on staying until Tuesday.

At dawn yesterday, while the group conversed in the hotel lobby ready to leave, Valdez suddenly left the group and threw himself off the building's fourth floor. He was reported to have been distraught and seen crying moments before.

-------------------------------------------------------

Now, I wonder if he really jumped of was tossed out by the 2 owners during a fight...

I guess they would have to say it was a suicide because of the impact on tourism when those girls were killed in CR a few years ago.

It's strange to me that the two stories vary so much in some simple basic details. One says he's 29, the other that he's 36. One he's been in CR for weeks, the other he just got there a couple of days back. If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd be all over this. But having first hand experience with the incompentency of the press, it's just par for the course.

What happenned to the security guard who broke his fall?

Hey Everyone,

I just have a simple question. Why would a fellow monger go to pussy paradise and kill himself? Couldn't he have done that in Texas? Something isn't right here.

Anyone want to meet a the news cafe for breakfast on Monday? Compare notes?

Theone

The only person who can answer your question is not talking now.

Shamas...You got that right.. may he rest in peace. Man I just missed you during the fourth.I asked some dudes at News and they said i just missed you....Guess you were on a pussy patrol (It was around 11 am) Sounds like you had a good trip.I went to New Fantasy a couple of afternoons.. rained all over my ass as evey time i ventured out of the Del Rey it poured. Looking forward to next time....mule

Mule

I'll be back in SJO 28 Aug - 3 Sept, if your in town hope to see ya.

I'm going to stay at the Royal Dutch. Mi amigo had the suite, it was too good, the regular rooms are supposed to be better than the Prez and cheaper, got to try it.

Shamas

they should do a toxicology test to see if alcohol or drugs was in his system. I concur that makes no sense. He could have done that shit in Texas. Don't mess with Texas!

Shamas...Where is the Royal Dutch...Is it in the gulch and what is the rate? Any guest fee??? Mule

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mule69
[i]Shamas...Where is the Royal Dutch...Is it in the gulch and what is the rate? Any guest fee??? Mule [/i][/QUOTE]

It's on the far side of the gulch. Just one block away from Central Mercado.

$28 + tax for a single 5 days a week. $25 + tax on Sunday and Monday. Nice place. Nice rooms.

I don't know about a guest fee. I'm a good church going young lad who only goes to Costa Rica for the food.

Hello Gentlemen,

Appears to be a suicide. Why there and not Texas? People near the end of their mental and emotional rope often throw binges. He might of pissed away everything he had and decided to call it quits. I`d bet alcohol and/or drugs were in his system. I doubt he is the first gringo to die at that hotel. These of course are their decisions, not the hotel`s.

Questions please.

1. Does anyone know how long this hotel has had the bar with the hookers hanging out? I mean with the explicit aim to serve gringos. Recent situation or does it go way way back?

2. What kind of luck has anyone had with getting mail through down there? The addresses amount to discriptions of where a place is, across from this, that, the green house, etc. Is like the days of old, pretty primitive. The chick has no phone, computer, nothing. Yes, I know what some think, but out of 50 one over time has become a friend. I am not about to get taken.

Thanks guys

Afinidad

Afinidad,

1. In '93 when I first came down, the center of action was the Key Largo and we never heard of the Blue Marlin, but when the KL got shut down in the mid 90's the action shifted to the BM.

2. The mail system in CR is a disaster the only way worth a damn is if the person has an apartado postal. Like you, I have known one for 10 years and I still don't trust her "Trust but verify" just remember what you're dealing with.

L.O.L.

Came back from my second visit to SJO. I left last Tuesday and Returned Saturday. I can safely say I have a girlfriend in Costa Rica. Here's the scoop, as much as I will share.

I flew in and she met me at the airport. We went to her apartment, where we spent our time together as boyfriend and girlfriend. There was NO money exchange for this. I told her I would pay for cab rides, groceries, dinner and drinks.

The first afternoon was spent together wrapped in each others body. She made me a wonderful dinner that night, in the cutest little outfit.

The next day it was more good stuff in the morning, and then we went to the mall and saw Bruce Almighty. We window shopped and I offered to buy her something, but she said that she would rather not, and instead wanted to go have a drink with me. After our Boca and drinks we went back to her place for more good stuff.

The third day, we went and walked around downtown, took some photos together, and had a great time. We went to the BM and had lunch and drinks together. I told her that I wanted to see the legendary place and she obliged. The food there was good, and I was able to look at many of the ladies, becasue I told her when I come back, we need to find a lady for my buddy Rogue.

Friday we went grocery shopping, and I bought her about $50 worth of groceries. Then we spent the afternoon with more of the good stuff and watching cable TV in her apartment.

I used her computer to do email and stay caught up on work.

Saturday morning we woke up and had three more sessions together. Guys, she was awesome.

I was there for 5 total days and spent a total of $200 on groceries, movie, cabs and drinks. No regalos, she didn't want one. She never asked for a dime. She only wanted to know when I could come back and see her. I left her $120 saying it was the money she didn't want for gifts and told her it was hers to keep.

Some things that blew my mind away. She brought me my shoes when we were going out. She cooked for me anytime I was hungry. She cleaned the house and kitchen and didn't ask for help or expect me to do anything. She was ready to play in the bed ANYTIME I was for as long as I wanted/could stand it.

What's her angle? We both like each other. We are both attractive people, and have a lot of the same interests (Music, boating, sex, etc). Granted she wants to come to the US, and I am a way to get here.

After a couple of more visits like this, I may just try that. I want to see if this lasts, or if it is an act. I think I could see her every 2 months for the next 6 months to see if she stays true to her feelings for me. If things get better, then I'll start trying to get her up here.

Later,
Real

Frogger,

Great prose! Keep the reports coming.

Mujerero,

Thanks for the info. You should see this address, is literally a rough discription of how to find a place, mentions trees, doors, colors, among other things.

Also, thanks for the warning. She is one of these seemingly sad ones that genuinely comes across as wishing she was not doing what she is doing. Those can get me, hustlers, never get a twinge of feeling for. But do not worry. I have me head.

Real-Thrill,

Am real glad for you. Good luck. I think your biggest risk may be of her getting over here and finding what she perceives as a better deal. Enjoy. It seems like you are being careful to minimize your investments, wise.

Late trip Report, June:

I was going to skip this one as it sucked as a whole, but here goes.

Day 1

I arrive and take a nap, determined to stay sober that night. Hit the Blue Marlin and dismiss several, "mas tardes." Turned down several cigarette requests. They will clean out a half a pack in no time. No mas. Saw a chick from an earlier visit, did not think I would ever see her again, a truly horny chick, no act which is rare. The previous time I was wasted and fell asleep without ever plugging her. lol Well, sometimes life offers second chances. Got her to the room, went down on her and she proceeded to cream in my face. Damned. Slipped on a condom and plugged her in mish until she went dry. Added lube, put on top a while then back on her back. Blew a nice load. Rested a bit, decided to turn all the work over to her. Deep BBBJ, no rush, let her do her thing at least 20 minutes. Slipped on a condom and asked her to sit on it. This went on and on and it was obviously what she liked best. She eventually grinded herself off again. Enjoy yourself I told her. I then gave her 30,000 colones and dismissed her, was near 2 hours time. More? Not that night. To bed, slept very late.

Day 2

Went to 747 in the afternoon and hired a blow up doll. Timed out without cumming, almost did but no cigar. Buy another 1/2 and try to cum? Only $12.50. No, I walked. That night saw Alexajra at IDEM. Had seen her before. She was not too inspired the first time but had to give it another try. Her face is so fine. She screwed my brains out. Hit it in mish, worked her in doggie, then she assumes the top. Still having trouble cumming. It is the damn viagra. But this was one determined little trooper. She works it from the top from various angles, repositioning herself for comfort at times, as she pants and moans more and more. I pop. Thanks chica. You almost made the trip. Almost... Later, did an all nighter with a regular of mine, a cutie, but tends to be less than inspired. I always forgive her. She is good people.

Day 3

The partying really kicks in. So I party, too much. Went to IDEM, picked one that was okay, but timed out before I could get off, damn viagra again, plus the alcohol surely. Went to the Blue Marlin and took a Columbian hustler to the room but she was so obnoxious that I dismissed her without doing anything. She got 1000 colones for her trouble.

Day 4

Partying continues, started to feel sick with what I do not know, to bed early, slept in, got up and went to the airport. Did not do enough chicas to warrant the expense of this trip, but we live and learn. lol Should have stayed more sober and went to New Fantasy every day, next time...

Afinidad

I would never send any cash through the mail to CR. I had done this a few times in the late 80's and early 90's, and only had a 50% arrival rate.

I even had a $100 check that never even made it out of the US. It was cashed by a person in Miami. Took a month or so to get my bank to refund the money.

Apartados (mail boxes) are the best way to go. Much safer, but still not foolproof. Some places you may have to wait for years to get one.

A common thing to do is to get a savings account in the US that has no ATM fee (or very low), and give the person the card the next time you see them. Tell them you'll put X amount in a month, or such.

You can also do this with a credit card with a low limit, it's good to see what they're spending money on if you can check the account online.

Real - Well, you could always tell her that you love her so much that YOU want to come to live in CR. You don't have any money, but you have her, and love her, so that is enough.

Mention the word campesino a few times. Tell her how much you love rice and beans and platanos.

Anything is possible, but don't get in too deep. I did about the same thing as you 15 years ago. I'm happy with some of my choices, but would be a totally different person now if WSG would have existed then.

If you do go the route of bringing her to the US, do it on a Fiance Visa first. I think it's for 6 months. That should be enough time to find out if you really click or not.

And a final note... Unless she has a lot of money, connections, or a visa already, be prepared for a long wait, or her never being able to come to the US (Until she is 50 or 55, at which point, Immigration decides they're not coming just for work).

If possible apply for any and all paperwork *in* the USA. I applied in CR, and was immediately rejected. I appealed to the nearest Immigration office (Mexico City), and while I was waiting, called my US Senator. They told me to reapply here. 2 years later Mexico City sent me a rejection letter. My Tica wife had been in the US for 18 months by that time.

Just got back to Vegas last night.

Had a GREAT time in San Jose, mostly at the New Fantasy. Wanda is as good as advertised. Last session was 2 days ago.

The first time this old man had five orgasms with her (three wet, tow dry) in an hour. Never thought possible.

Recommend the NF. Even got a refund, when I didn't use all my time.

Stayed at the Hemingway. Great place. Convenient. English spoken. $13.00 chica fee (I didn't use this).

The New York seems to be a good place at night. Not high pressure sales tactics like in the Del Rey. Food is good too.

Thanks, guys, for all the info.

Yo Mongo. Wanda told me she was quitting giving massages about a week and a half ago. She said she was going to be the manager of NF II. Did she lie to me? I can't believe a working girl would lie.

Wanda

Well, perhaps her situation changed, or she wanted you to post it online so she could get a *little* rest.

If she does retire to a managers job, imagine if any other girl named Wanda ever comes to work there... She'll be busy, no matter what.

Jaimito,

Thanks for the advice. I am taking these steps slowly because of all the research I've done on this and other sites.

I am not going to jump into anything too deep, but I am having lots of fun exploring this avenue. Who knows what will come of it, but I want to see where this road leads me.

I haven't started to look into the visa process, although a co-worker brought a lady up form Brazil not too long ago. It took them about 7 months total time to get the fiance visa. She is due to have their first child this week.

Here is a bit of a different question.

How many of you think we mongers are sex addicts?

I mean, think about this...many of us are married or have significant others, but we still go out and look for additional women on the side. I think most of us choose the pro's because there really is no skill needed, there is no emotional attachment (most of the time), and you don't have to invest in a lot of time to score.

So guys, are we hooked on just popping the nut (addicts), or do you think it's something else like animal instinct?

Real-Thrill,

I enjoy those sort of questions. I think addiction involves obsession. Symptoms may involve a state of mind of always planning the next trip, neglecting important responsibilities, like family and work, spending money you cannot afford to spend, a general lose of control. Look at the needle junkie, they live for the next fix.

As to animal instincts, of course we have them, but many are successful at controling them, or at least practicing moderation. It seems in our best interest. Having said this, I have personally taken more of these trips than I could afford, spent too much time planning them in between, and on a couple of occasions, got out the calculator and found out that I could have skipped the travel and done escorts in my own back yard and come out cheaper. LOL, can these sex vacations be addictive? Yes. I am sure many on here would agree. lol

As to bringing a girl back, if you marry her overseas, I think they have to let her in, after all, she would be your wife. I cannot imagine there being a lot of red tape, but maybe there is.

It was mentioned that many mongers are married. I am only curious, how do you explain these trips? Do you say you are going to Central America with the buddies for fishing, then make sure you get a tan? What if they want to see pictures of the fish you caught? lol Do the other halves not start to get suspicious after a while? Most people I know were aware that Costa Rica is a prime destination for whoring, without me ever saying anything. It is not that big of a secret.

Afinidad

real...I am in Costa Rica today...a little bit obligaed with business, but I will send you my opinion on much of what you wrote via email....bottom line is though...you are getting a taste of latin, no, Central American women who know what it is to be a women...you see, their heads haven't been all fucked up with stuff....later, V

Viajerotropico or Jaimito,

Email me at [email]real-thrill@excite.com[/email].

My hobby buddy thinks I've fallen off my rocker. I think I'm taking a road less travelled.

Later guys,
Real

Wanda is not that thrilled that she has become famous via this site...Poor girl is working her ass off and she probably wanted to send a message that she has retired.The girl has mongers waiting in line and there is probably some resentment with the other girls..My bet is she is still working but wants it to slow down a bit..By the way her real name is rosarxxx and she supports her mom and son.She propably got someone to post she is through but i think not.She has great oral skills...but try some of the other girls ...Any suggestions....Mule

fiance visa...is valid for 90 days...I know all about it..that is how I got mine into the country 24 years, 10 months ago....

fiancee visa..further clarifications...90 days to get married, after that one gets a temporary residency until one´s application for green card is approved, which in our case took about 8 months...

Real-Thrill,

If you’re talking about being with your Tica forever, then there certainly is no hurry. Speaking from experience, do not underestimate the challenges inherent in a cross-cultural marriage. Jaimito Cartero’s suggestions are good ones. Do you want to introduce this Tica to your family and friends and co-workers? Do you want her seated at the family dinner table on holidays? Maybe yes, maybe no...

Sex addicts? Men who travel to foreign countries for the express purpose of mongering apparently have a higher sex drive than most other men, but the word “addiction” implies dysfunction. If you’re suffering and your life is disintegrating because of uncontrollable cravings, then you are an addict. But if you are not suffering... if you are loving every minute of it and keeping it together like most of the guys you read on this board... then you are not an addict, you are simply an enthusiast (a connoisseur?).

Tanager

Tanager..

What good points you make...had I totally understood the work and effort required for a cross-cultural marriage, I wonder if I would have done it....more to the point...it is more work than a normal marriage, and that is difficult enough...well stated, and I also think that your comment concern addiciton dysfunction, etc, was right on the mark..

Hola...Read this yesterday in A.M. Costa Rica via their website article in part reads as follows "officials have generally looked the other way in matters of massage parlors,places of prostitutionhowever the Pachecho administration has adopted a moralistic tone and has used existing laws to clean up areas known for such activities.The continual weekend searches by the immigration police are directed at bars and hotels that cater to sexual contact".....Article uses Arte Sauna as an example....Damn I hope this shit cools off.....Mule

what i learned cruising gringo gulch last night, and then an opinion.

first, spent some time in both pickup places, kl and bm. sat at length with a colombian, who just started her bm cruising in recent months, just about the time the authourities started getting tough. she has been in costa rica three years, got in on an asylum basis. that has run out...

anyway, she says that tourism is considered a number one tourist attraction, and recent fame and activities regarding the sex tourism destination was getting to be too much (plus this report possibly given on this board ealier regarding **** activities by some). without a doubt, any of us that have been monitoring this in the last decade could testify with regard to the significant number of domincans and nicaraguans that had been coming into the trade...

anyway, yes there has been a huge crackdown on dcoumentation..it freaked her out...she fixed her probelm by getting married to a tico...on paper only...nice trick.

anyway took her for a session, and although she wanted to, it wasn{t that good...i give it a five, only because she had a very sexy body, and once we did start sroking the hole she appeared to really enjoy it...this was one of those times i wish i had viagra or just a dildo...this lady really got off on penetration...

now an opionion. key largo is all remodeled, and yes they have created the back door so that they girls can run over from one side to the other real easy. it appears the only may be trying to get kl back to its glory days when it was pretty cool...besides having the ladies in there, it had a lot of tourist couples dancing, etc...somewhat of a more cloaked pickup meat market for pros..more of a night club with activiy than just a way station....

early in the night there was no cover, but when the music started, they wanted a cover...i refused to pay and they would let me pass...however, on a friday or saturday that might not fly...

the thing that struck me most about the scene was the huge number of 19 to 22 year olds cruising the bm...there were no tropies...i mean maybe a couple here and there...but not that many years ago, one could spot a just a really sexy lady...a 9-10, with class, ..now it seems the style is wear hip huggers and show midriff and you are sexy...very dsappointing.

another thing i saw was a disproportionate amount of ladies just sitting and hanging out on the restaurant side..with that little bar now over there...that was never that way in the glory days...it may have been because there wasn{t enough space on the other side, but it appeared to me more to be a thing of refuge and positioning if something happened...because there was a lot space at the time in the bm bar where those tables are...

perhaps things will mellow out...and this business will settle down...but for the moment i see this as waters fulll of minnow or shad, and the big lunkers have gone down to deeper water...spooked for awhile. by that i refer to tryly beatuiful ladies who were just woking on the side for a little extra income who knew how to please a guy....

sounds like new fantasy and other places is a place that offers a bit more security and some good ones are seeking refuge there,...but i didn´t go there to evaluate..just taking the opinion of those who recently report the quality being high there....

good luck on seeking out...i willl be back here in 3 months or so, and shall compare there...

viajererotropico,

look on the bright side, bare midriffs help to expose whether they have a lot of stretch marks. besides i've had some pretty good times with 19 to 22 year olds. face it how likely is a 40+ year old to get something like that in the sack up in femi-nazi-land? it's a dirty old man's paradise."disneyland for men"i don't care if they wear jeans or stilleto heels and a garter belt, i'm gonna get 'em out of either, with all deliberate speed.

Mujerero,

I don't disagree with you one bit...my comments were more to compare what the fishing was like during the prime time of KL.., (I reference 1989 until the big demise in mid to late nineties) and more than the last 3-4 years at BM; there were some very fine trophies in these places, very fine, and as a much higher percentage as to what is there now. They were in their mid-twenties (sometimes a bit more) that didn't appear to have just gotten out of (or maybe still in high school)...

I really have no opinion as to whether this present situation isn't still good. You make a very good point: compare this to northern fishing grounds and there is no comparison, especially as you say for 40+ dudes who don't have tons of change to support high maintenance stock....

Real-Thrill,

A buddy of mine is an immigration lawyer. I asked him once (after a trip to Mexico) what it would take to get a visa for this girl to visit. He said it depends on where she's from. South and Central America are my thing and he said most countries down there are not easy.

One thing he suggested was to get my girl a visa to come visit like a tourist. If she gets that she can come and stay for 6 months before she leaves. After that she can go home and come back again later. He suggested I do that once or twice before making any moves towards marriage.

I don't know if this will happen to you but I was so eager to make it happen when I got back. But after a while the idea started to sink in. A month later I decided not to go through with it. Looking back I have no real regrets. I still travel for the "thrills." And maybe some day some lovely lady will catch my eye and hold it this time.

Good luck. If you want a good lawyer let me know.

Ed

To all who may be in town.
Will be at the hotel Del Rey August 24th through August 31st. Would be happy to have a drink with and compare notes with anyone in town. Not my first trip to San Jose. From 1997 I've been making this trip about three times a year.
My last trip was in January. I like being there for Super Bowl weekend. Would like to take this opportunity to think all those who have posted since January for keeping me up-to-date. The last few posts have made reference to the quality of the girls. In the time I have been going to Costa Rica I would have to disagree with the posted that the quality of the girls have gone down. I would agree that the average age has decreased. And that may be why I consider the quality improvement. I do like that 19 to 24 group.
Not wishing to start any arguments I will qualify my statements by saying that I like short-term relationships. Two - three hours and I'm ready to move on. Not to say that I have not taken a girl for two or three days off to someplace.
I find Costa Rica and enjoyable place to visit. The people are nice to me and I do my best to be nice back. I believe in treating the girls with respect are as I like to put it( your money gets them to your room your attitude keeps them there).

Trip Report 7/17-7/25

The situation:

Brought down a newbie to CR and mongering (lets call him SC). For old-hands, please bare with much of this. Also, I’m a bit behind on viewing recent posts, so some of this may have been covered off lately.

Day 1—Thursday

Flew out of SJC. Practiced Pai Gow and Tute between us. SC took me for $10. Equipped with a 1 Liter bottle of Vodka disguised as a water bottle, we mixed it with OJ the whole way.
During Dallas layover we hit TGIF bar and had a few drafts. A blond sat down next to us and upon discovering our destination said, “watch out, CR women don’t care if you are married or not, they will be all over you!” I played innocent and said we were just going there to take care of some business and see the wildlife…lol
Dallas flight to SJO on time. More Vodka with cokes on the plane. Unfortunately, my friend in CR supposed to pick us up was not there. Oh well, taxied to el Presidente instead.
Rooms 800 and 801 ready for us—as promised, those suites are enormous (thanks Dallasman!!). 801 is the better choice as it has an outward facing balcony. In any case, both suites huge and well priced at $79 (this was a discounted rate as they were unable to provide us with the master suite due to renovation). All the newly renovated rooms are coming out really nice, and as usual the service at the hotel was flawless.
After unpacking we went straight for ground zero—the BM. At about 10pm the gauntlet was packed with about a 10 to 1 female/male ratio. SC had never experienced anything like this and played it shy. I worked it real slow, and copped about 10 feels on each pass. The girls were really hungry and aggressive. I fought hard to not jump on the first hotties.
We settled down at the second table (Tute) as it offers the best view of the girls coming off the gauntlet stairs. At the same time you can turn around and check the girls by the sportsbook.
A ton of girls just hung on the edge making eye contact with big smiles and I called them over one at a time to cop a feel and get to know them a bit. Fluent Spanish and ability to speak local slang was a huge plus throughout the trip.
Next we hit Key Largo as I really wanted to dance. I spun about 20 different girls around the dance floor, many of them in groups. Again the girl/guy ratio was awesome.
Back to BM to pick out a keeper, we started getting serious about narrowing them down. Two different pairs of Columbians were the hottest thing going, and I had sworn to myself that I would not pay $100 anytime during the trip. The one pair of sisters well known on this board would not come off the price, so we shined them off. The other pair, who are friends tried to hold firm, but we just walked away from them. The kept coming back to us and I got them down to 25,000 each ($62). Problem was, my friend really wanted one of them, and I didn’t get a good feeling from the other one—she seemed like she was just going to pop me as fast as possible and not be any where a GFE, so I blew her off and made a quick perimeter sweep of the place, finally walked right up to a tall mulatto Columbian (about 6ft, tight body) and said, lets go right now, 25,000. She jumped right on it and we were off.
In the suite we put on the video channel and she gave me a nice dance/striptease. Took our time in multiple positions and finished off with a BBBJ cum on tits. Good body, decent perfomance, but not real into it—definitely not a GFE and really would not endorse her—can’t remember he name anyay…Gave her some perfume and sent her on her way. Asleep-4 am.

Day 2--Friday
Still excited, up at 6am. Freshened up, and down to News Café. SC up too. Said his Columbian was real sweet. Could not get the smile off his face. Welcome to dreamland!
Hit up the Farmacia Isabella—its more like 6 blocks directly down from the DR, on the same Calle, on the left hand side—past the old Arte Suana. A 100mg for 4400 colones. Easy in/out.
Stopped in at the Arte Sauna to get the scoop. It is now called Pension San Jose. Rooms have been converted to bedrooms. 5500 colones for a room with bath. 3500 for a room with shared bath. You can still use the vaporroom. Girl friendly. Would recommend this place to someone mongering on the cheap. Story is, it is still Gringo owned, but he is out of the massage business. Management is real nice, but I lost the card with phone number.
9am hit New Fantasy. I grabbed Triany and forgot name of SC’s girl. Triany worked me over for an hour. About 15 massage, 30 hot sex, and 15 vapor room. She is sooo good. No complaints here. Ultra-sexy and aims to please. Seems that she truly enjoys sex. Triany has one kid and an absentee father.
Walked back to the BM and hit the card tables, then to the Morazon and the Horseshoe for some of the same. Got to love the minimum bets (500-2000). My friend just laughing at the prices, after being a LV player.
Back to the Presidente to check e-mail (you can get a code for 15 minutes free about as often as you want during their business office hours). Got a hold of my friend who missed us at the airport (D--he had his dates wrong—welcome to CR). Went and picked up a rental car and parked it in the hotel. D showed up, we hit his stash of green mota and at 7:30 went to the Park Hotel for the Friday show. Had a great time talking to the boys, but the chica situation was looking ugly. All 5’s/6’s. One of them real aggressive and skanky. Would not touch herewith a 10-ft pole. She kept trying to jump on us and was pulling out her tits. After being spoiled at NF and DR, we really did not want to see any of this bunch get naked, so we bailed and hit the DR. After about 15 min D had pulled 2 chicas and wanted to go to his place. One was a Rasta chick, the other a lithe youngie with a pink outfit and matching hat. Both Tica. Made the 5 min drive and next thing I knew D and SC were making out and I was the stooge. I said later guys, and hopped a taxi to Key Largo and worked the dance floor. SC showed up soon and said that both girls were 18—they checked their cards and they had given them 25,000 each. My friend commended me for being the perfect point man so far—so far he had been getting the long end of the stick, but really I wanted to stoke him out on this trip, and I was just grooving by dancing and copping feels along the gauntlet, and talking up all the eye-candy.
Don’t know what happened, but I got real tired and decided to go home alone. This was not part of the plan, but still many days ahead!! Hit bed around 1am solo.

Day 3—Saturday
Had to be in Limon at 1pm to sign over a property at a lawyers office, so we were up at 7am, packed, breakfast at the News Café, and on the NF doorstep at 9 am. Said hi to Adrianna for everybody. She had a new tattoo done the day before on her lower back just above the pantie line and was real sensitive, so had to keep my hands off her there. I did not want to cut my timeline too tight, so I grabbed Jasmine for a ½ quickie. Had heard she was the best masseuse, and I really needed it after a hectic week leading up to the trip. Her technique is awesome and she looks ok from the tits up. Avoid looking below them though. She too is supporting 1 kid solo, and it shows on her body. She is a real masseuse and gave me an awesome workover—would love to have her do that for about 4 hours, but was not in the schedule. After 25 minutes I rolled over and had her finish me up with a HJ, BBJ, tit combo—shot all over them and cleaned up.
Made such good time to Limon that I could have had another hour at the NF—oh well!! So we drove up to Playa Bonita and had lunch on the point watching the waves and our waitress. About 18 with the sexiest outfit. A thong with a see-through cover over it and just a bikini top. Knows how to move that body… Wow!! Someone might have to check this one out, as she is a real cutie—Tica with nice brown skin and tight body.
Made the appointment at 1 and then headed to Puerto Viejo—stayed at the cabins I had just sold, took care of some business, and hit the discos that night. Stanfords and Johnny’s were really happening. Tons of Ticas and Gringas. But after the scene in SJ, I was just not up to working it. Did not want to put out the effort of hooking up with amateurs. Plus I know everyone in this small town and don’t need anything getting back to my wife at home.
Day 4—Sunday
Worked on my property. Surfed. Talked story with the locals. Discos slow this night compared to the previous. Drove to Manzanillo for drinks—quiet down there. To bed early.
Day 5—Monday
Worked on my property. Talked story. Hit Reggae night at the Bar Bambu. A local pro, Jisella has always wanted to hop me and we danced hard all night. She was super horny and kept saying lets go, for free. But she has been around way to much, likes her drugs, and I said no thanks, I just want to dance. Was pretty funny, cause she was all sexually frustrated and couldn’t believe I was turning her down. I just dirty danced, copped a few feels, and said see ya. She was pretty pissed, but my integrity was intact. I would not recommend anyone try her, as I don’t think she is a safe practictioner. She is pretty sexy though, so maybe a HJ would do.
Day 6—Tuesday
Up at 4:30, had to wrap up some business and hit the road early. Made it to NF about 12:00 and grabbed Triany for a 2-hour session. Sex was so hot with her that I skipped the massage and only made it to the steam room for the last 15 min. She really knows how to service a guy…cleans you up and wont let you lift a finger. I love black girls and have an affinity for tight ones like her. Funny thing was that Adrianna has a bit of a crush on me and in the middle of our session she was knocking on the door. Triany was so into it that she did not even notice and I finally had to tell her to answer the door. Adrianna bursts right in and comes over to check out my member and gives a big “ooohhh…”. Triany kicks her out and gives the bird to her back….
At 2:00 headed for Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste. Had a business contact to meet there. Nice small town with just a couple bars. Had a good dinner and drinks at El Pescado something or another. Early to bed.
Day 7—Wednesday
Up early—ran on the beach and went for a swim.
Toured the Peninsula Papagayo project. This is going to be CR’s premier resort/residence community. It is a 15 year project, currently in year 7. Four Seasons hotel to open in December. There is an Arnold Palmer golf course near completion. For big players, this will be the place to be.
Drove down to Tamarindo to look up some friends. Stayed at the Diria—great hotel on the beach. Awesome service. Checked the casino across the street—only a couple tables plus roulette. Passed on it. Ate a great dinner at Las Olas. Checked out “Why Not” which has pro girls, a pool table, and rooms. The girls were so/so. Three 6’s and one 7. Didn’t ask for rates, as none of them struck our fancy. To bed midnight.

Day 8—Thursday
Up early and made the drive back to SJ. Checked back in to the Presidente. Got a couple of the standard rooms and had negotiated a rate of $48—60 is rack rate. Rooms 406 and 407. Worked for us. Clean and pretty quiet. Hit the DR tute tables. After a couple, hit NF and tried Jennifer. Now Jennifer is a character and some might get a kick out of her. She is high energy, very positive attitude. She studied biology and psychology. She is 19 and has a 7 month old boy, Julian. Her body is pretty tight except he tits are still full of milk and a little stretched, though the nipples are often. I went to town on her tits, literally milking them and spraying milk all over her, then licking it off. She really was into me and we went for 3 hours of full-on love-making. Triany is hot, but Jennifer is sweet. Not for everyone, but just right for me.
Now here is where I made my one fuck-up on the trip. Jennifer was really hot for me and wanted to spend the rest of the night with me for free. I envisioned a full on GFE, the perfect ending for what was a pretty mellow trip. I had not hit it particularly hard, but was just grooving on showing my friend a good time. So I arranged to meet Jennifer at Key Largo for dancing to begin.
I went back to DR, found SC at the tables, and started playing. Problem was, the drinks kept coming, and REALLY strong. Next thing I knew it was 9:30 and I was drunk. We went to Key Largo and Jennnifer was there, overjoyed to see me. But I swear to god, it was as though someone put a brain killer mickey in my drink at the DR, cause I really don’t remember the next 3 hours. My friend said I was just spacing out and next thing I know Jennifer was telling me good-bye and bailed out of there. I cant blame her. I had lost my cool, could not keep my good conversation going with her, and was not a joy to be with, so she left. Somehow I snapped out of it, realized I had let a good one go, and was a bit bummed. But I got my wind back and hit the dance floor. Once again, the place was packed with hotties and hardly any guys. Literally every girl was giving me the look and wanted to dance and go. SC was captivated by the Columbian bar girl everyone has spoken of, and yes, she is INSANE!! (I think either Gamblingman or Dallasman said they have a line on this one). I have to give her a 9.9 as I think 10 does not exist as there is always room for improvement. End of story is that he made his desires known to here through a Tica friend of hers who works at NF. They said she doesn’t do that kind of thing. He persisted. They came up with $300 for an hour. He offered $200 for a couple hours since we had to get up soon for our flight. Finally she said ok, when she got off. I finally settled on a Tica named Yvette—kinda bigbodyied but nice lips and really holding onto me hard. Still a bit drunk, it didn’t really matter at this point. Off I went at about 3, SC to follow soon. I hit her hard for probably about an hour and passed out. She stayed. At 5, SC was banging on my door—he thought it was 6—our wake up time. I cursed him and went back to bed for a quickie second round with Yvette. Paid her 25,000 and sent her packing. Freshened up and off to the airport.
SC said that the Columbian was as insane as she looks. She gave him the sexy dance and a striptease and then good sex. Her body is as tight as it looks. No underwear under those tight pants. Tits firm as they look. She is 21. So yes everybody, she is available, but only for a high price. Guess the question now is how far anyone can bargain her down. I don’t think she does this very often, but the money was too hard to turn down. My friend worked real hard to get her, as he had flirted with her the previous times in there. Good luck all on this one.
Day 9-Friday
Fuck I hate flying out. Too short and quick as usual. Tons of hot Latins in the airport. Why didn’t I do more? Oh well….Flights went well. Slept most of the way.

Synopsis
It is a buyers market in SJ right now. Don’t hurry, and no need to overpay except for that one trophy Columbian.
This really was a business trip more than a vacation, so even though I didn’t get to hit it as much as I wanted to, my primary missions were accomplished.
Biggest find for me—Jennifer for her spirit.
Biggest loss for me—not keeping her for the night.
No regrets though except its going to be a while before I have a legitimate excuse for another trip.
Hope some of this helps someone out there!! Peace all…

CaribbeanGringo,

Great report... thanks for the detailed information. No visit to Idem?

I'm still plotting my next excursion....

T-Bird

Starting to plan my next visit...Probably at the end of September. I plan on going to Manuel Antonio for 3 days and then spend another 2 days in San Jose.

I plan on starting full research for a hotel in Manuel A. next week. If anyone has a good recommendation on hotels in the area, let me know so my research is simplified.

I am looking for a place that will have a bar and restaurant, nice pool, on or very near the beach, clean rooms with a view.

Later,
Real

Tanager--

I stopped in IDEM and as usual the girls were hot--better than New Fantasy. Thing was that after NF I didn't want a slam/bam experience in a room without amenities. I'd rather enjoy the vapor room/nicer rooms at the NF. There are some really nice girls at IDEM I wanted to take out, and even though it was just before closing, Roberto wouldn't let me take any out. I'm sure if I had offered enough I could have. So yes, the selection at Idem was really good--about 12 girls and 8 of them 7+, I just didnt feel like an in-room experience at the time.

I will be in San Jose Augest 25 thru late October. Anyone needing a complete daylight tour of downtown San Jose, Mayby buy me lunch? Email me sanjoseseahawk@hotmail.com

Gentlemen,

Your insights please, "San Jose on a budget." I have about $2000 to spend, total, airfare, hotel, cabs, everything, finally can get away for about 12 days in Nov or Dec. A cheapskate? No, about all the budget will be able to spare at that time.

Requirements:

1. Chica friendly hotel WITH AC. By the way, does the Royal Dutch have AC? Safe box a big plus, care nothing about cable tv.

2. Plenty of beers but no need to get smashed, food occasionally. Beers must be a lot cheaper outside the "gringo gulch" but maybe not.

3. 2 to 3 chicas a day, no older gorditas, and preferably many that are not like hiring blow up dolls.

4. Minimal chances of getting a knife in my back.

Nice folks that run the Del Rey, but the only thing cheaper around there than in America is the tail, and these are usually over-priced.

Can I get there and back, fuck decent looking women, drink a lot, and sleep with AC on this kind of money or should I wait?
Hope this helps some others. Fact is, in spite of popular opinion, most of us gringos are not loaded.

Thanks in advance.

Another death in Gringo Gulch...This time the victim was found in his room at the El Presidente.The victim was a 57 year old American and the case is being investigated by the police as the man was reputedly in an altercation earlier.Mgmt of the hotel regret the incident but sat the fight did noy take place at their hotel.....The attrition is getting to be like Baghdad!!

Wait for what? Chica's will not run a "sale" or all other things suddenly are not going to be cheaper, except probably the air fare. $2000.00 for 12 days is not a chump change. You can easily do it, provided your expectations are reasonable. For cheap chica encounters, you can choose 747 or cha cha cha (about $10-15). For little higher products, you can visit New Fantasy or Idem (about $45). Incall from Park Hotel can be done for $35. BM girls will cost you money, but not more than $60. There are many hotels with A/C, that should not cost you more than $50 (I get this rate at Del Rey). There are also many dern cheap places to stay which will run you about $150 a month. Food is not that expensive and very managable within your budget. Go for it.

Go for it!! There is enough info on this board to help you stay in budget.
As long as you bargain well with the girls, your budget is doable. Just don't let beer goggles and mind make you throw out any $100's, as chica fees are the largest controllable expense.

Its the low season now, so don't wait any longer!!

Also, VIPS Molino rojo for $5,00-6000 Colones a shot, at least wehn I was there a year and a half ago. But prices have gone up a bit. There was one chica at the Bikini Bar that was very doable (1 of 8), 5K colones per shot. Unfortunately, I didn't want to wait for the ride as there were several in line ahead of me. funny thing, though, there was no line for any of the other not so doable chicas.

Molino Rojo was 5500 colones for 1/2 an hour last December. I'd figure 6000 colones by now.

There are some real gems there, not agressive at all, and although it's a bit of a dive, I've had a lot of enjoyable nights there.

Gentlemen,

Especially the last three posters, thanks for your input. You all seem like guys I`d really enjoy meeting and having a few beers with. Perhaps our paths can cross.

I am going to plan the trip, 747, VIPs, Cha Cha Cha, Park Hotel, bars outside the gulch, beans, rice and a bit of fish, all with much improved Spanish which I have been working on with some Mexican amigos. New Fantasy a few times to splurge, mainly because they are determined to pamper customers.

The Royal Dutch sounds very interesting, $28 a night. Maybe Shamas will come back soon and tell us more. They have a website, spacious rooms. The Del Rey is convenient, and the staff goes beyond the call of duty, always, but I just drink too much there and spend too much time and money haggling with the chicas over this, that, and the other. I want to experience the heart of the city. I will confess my few trips there have not been well planned or cost efficient. But it is no fault of any of the vets on the board. Just like a lot of people, I have to learn many things the hard way. Thanks again.

I hate to say this, but I have never spent more than $200 on chicas on any of my 20 or so trips to CR. Now, I don't come JUST for the chicas, so I will see between 3-8 per trip.

I haven't found a $75 girl that was 7 times better than Rocio at 747. The Ticos have some very good girls around, and if you go to normal Tico places you don't get "gringoed" to death.

I'd say 747 is better than Club 40, and Molino Rojo is also better than Club 40. There is one dive that I went to 4 or 5 years ago (Margaritas?), that I wouldn't bother with. Even cheaper than Molino Rojo, but sucky (unsucky, perhaps?) service.

I enjoyed NF and Idem a lot. Eros was a step or two down in service. Given $100 in my pocket, I'd go to NF 3 times, instead of Idem twice. If I had $120, I'd go Idem once, NF 2.... Variety is nice.

I wish I had enough control on my budget like you have. I always stay at Del Rey, and at the end of the evening I always pull somebody for TLN....and they don't come cheap. Also, I like to treat them to dinner, dance etc. which somehow adds up. And of course, there are several trips to 747, NF, Idem etc. But what the heck, I generally have good time.

I agree with you about Rocio. I have been with her severel times and never had a bad time. But she is approaching 30 and I discovered a new sweetheart there last time. Myela, a 20 yr. old Tica. A great experience. She went with me 20 min overtime (severel knocks on the door) without having to pay any extra. Can't wait to see her again.

Hi Guys,

Anybody familiar with the poker scene in CR please drop me a line at eze_amante at yahoo dot com. I'm interested in tournaments and where I can obtain a schedule to plan my mongering trips around a little gaming.

Thanks,

How does CR compared with Panama City?

CR is much better to me. It's safer, cleaner, cheaper, better girls, more girls, more MP's. It has better weather (meaning it's 75deg in the day instead of 95deg with 99 percent humidity). It's also closer the the States. However you can get by better in PTY if you don't speak Spanish.

I am planning my first trip to Costa Rica later this year. My tentative dates are December 30 through January 5. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if the demand/price hotels goes up during this time frame because of the holiday season. I am also wondering if I will need to make credit card reservations for a room in advance, or can a guy just get a room anywhere? At this point, Del Rey, the Presidente or something clean & tica friendly that is close to New Fantasy would be my first choice for accomodations.

Any info from experienced winter travelers would be greatly appreciated.

Panama City ...probably nicer and more upscale=$$$....San jose Gringo Gulch= sex cenrtral....How can you top the del Rey?

I'm not trying to stir up a mess, DR has it's points and I know many guys swear by it. I like Idem and New Fantasy. Park Hotel usually has a few good local girls as does Jochlyns. DRs big selling point is the large and deversified assortment of ladies there. Key Largo has a few good ones. Some of the prettiest ladies at DR are the bartenders. That's why I like to have a few beers there late at night.

Most of the DR girls glitz it up more than the girls at the other places, but I'm not a glitz type of person.

Some of the small bars, New York, Nashville, noPiano and News Cafe have pretty bartenders/waitresses. One Sunday the Piano Bar had a true honey tending bar. I oogled her for four beers.

Thats my two Colones worth

Was that Hazel at the Piano Bar??
She is really something special.

I agree with your overall assessment of the chica situation. Over the last few years, I have also gravitated to the smaller bars and the on-premise brothels / massage parlors. The Blue Marlin is a great place to have a few drinks, but the chicas are all looking for too much $$. I will take Idem and New Fantasy girls anytime .


The countdown has begun for the Don Gordo Birthday Bash on Aug 28. There is gonna be a good group in town and a graet time will be had.

DG

DonGordo

My name for her is Yo Hot Mama. I don't remember her name, just a really hot local girl.

I plan to stop by on the 28th for your Tica Stabbing Fest. Is it a BYOT or will you have an open wet bed ?

I'm planning on going to the Massing of the Mongers at the DR the next day, should be quite interesting swapping notes with all the guys.

Shamas

Hey DonGordo & Shamas,

I will be in the land of milk & honeys on Labor Day weekend. I will meet you guys at the BM for the big monger convention - lol.

Can you guys elaborate on where some of these small bars you are talking about are. I like some of the girls at the BM but you are so right their prices are exorbitant at times. Also what are the qualities of the girls at these other bars and is it open during the day and till what time at night.

Thanks.

I will be staying at the Presidente.

Coxslinger,

In Costa Rica anyone who can goes to the beaches from the day after Christmas until the day after New Years day (this is one of the 2 biggest vacation times of the year), so you will find it dead in San Jose upon arrival and until the 2nd (meaning few if any girls).

While you will find it no problem to get a hotel in San Jose, you will find it difficult to find a room on the beach.

If your sole intention is to stay in San Jose and enjoy girls, I would highly recommend you change your travel itinerary to before Christmas or after New Years.

If you don't mind crowds at the beaches and a non-pro party scene at those locations, the this time period can be fun.

If it was me, I would change my dates.

What's the best way to call from the States to San Jose? I'm thinking the right calling card would be much better than my normal long distance service.

Any suggestions? Thanks, guys.

If you live near a 7-Eleven they have a "World Card" that I think gives about a 42 cents per minute flat rate with no hidden surcharges--other retailers have similar cards...

Thanks CaribbeanGringo,

That explains why our flight would have cost $350 more for that week when compared to one week before or after. The problem that we have is that my buddy is a commercial driver and will be working his tail off right up unitl X-mas. Going early is not an option for him. The problem I have is that I am a graduate student and will be starting the Spring semester on the 6th of January. What to do? I guess that I will just have to miss the first week of classes.

But seriously, I will pass this info on to my buddy. I appreciate your assistance. We would have been very disapointed had we gone down there when all the girls are on a holiday.

A similar situation actually happened to us in Mazatlan a few months ago in the week leading up to Cinco de Mayo. Appearently they had a national holiday called (in English) "The day of the children" the Thursday we were down there. Instead of college co-eds, the beach was filled with local families for four of our five days in country. Very disapointing, but we ended up getting some massage action and even got lucky with two local women in their late-20s (for free) that we met at a dance club. We also nailed a couple of 40 year-old divorced gals from Idaho on our third night.

We won't make the same mistake in Costa Rica. Thanks again.

Coxslinger

Sandrabbit

8-28, Delta flight 375,I have seat 27F. See ya.

Shamas

DBoy,

Search the web. There are several calling cards available for $.08 per minute to Costa Rica.

Nobelcom, the link below advertises $.059 per minute to CR with no connection fee. That's almost as cheap as long distance here in the US.

http://www.nobelcom.com/nobelcom/jsp/productselection/productselection.jsp?from_country=1&to_country=76&AFFN=118048902

That's 339 minutes for $20

I know that this type of post will not help me obtain "Senior Membership" status, but all of us rookies to Costa Rica could use the information.

Can any of the experts on San Jose post the business hours of the following places?

Arte Y Sauna:

747:

Idem:

Club 40:

VIPs:

Also, are there any massage parlors open on Sundays? I would love to take a 3 day weekend down as soon as possible, there but I'm afraid that all the nice working girls might have Sundays off. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Coxslinger

Real-Thrill - Thanks,

I used the url you suggested to buy a Noble calling card for calls from the US or Canada to CR (and other int'l calls to, I guess). I used a credit card and got a PIN emailed to me in a few minutes.

Around 250-340 minutes for $20, depending on length of call:

5.9 cents/min, 4 minute increments, $1/week fee
6.9 cents/min, 2 minute increments, $?/week
8 cents/min, 1 minute increments, 50 cents/week fee


I chose the last one. The card expires in 3 months and can also be used for domestic calls at 4-5 cents/min.

Immigration Raids Continue- New Fantasy, and Quepos.

AM Costa Rica, the on-line newspaper, reports immigration police raided the massage place in the Bario Amon which must be the New Fantasy, and detained several women and one U.S. citizen. This was in response to "neighborhood street crime".

The Sex police also raided a bar in Quepos for illegal immigrants and arrested the owner on pimping charges because the fees paid included both the room rental and the price of the girl, according to the same newspaper.

Coxslinger,

Quick summary of the hours of business, which can be obtained by reading the previous post on this forum:

Arte y Sauna: Closed forever. Raided by police for pimping.
747: About 10:30 or 11 A.M. till ?? early evening??
Idem: 3 P.M. till about 11 P.M. ? Selection improves at 7 P.M.
Club 40 (ripoff) supposed to open at 4 P.M. till ?
VIPs: Do not know, do not care, I would not bother.

Try the Blue Marlin (bring your passport)- 24/7, Park Hotel- with action Noon to Midnite., New Fantasy massage (bring your passport) which opens at 9 A.M. till 9 P.M.?, Joselyns- daytime, the purple place next to the 747- same hours as 747?.

see our friend's site at dongordo.com for more info and tips.

No more connections, layovers! Isn't this Great?

Just want to say that I am looking forward to any Labor Day Weekend reports that anyone decides to post. Wish I could have made it. Have been watching the Blue Marlin webcam. Have not learned much. Are at least a few loud gringos in there. As to the rest, I already know what kind of music they play and what the bartender looks like when she is walking around taking orders and giving change. lol

The BM webcam site, a frustrating little toy now that I have it working. lol I conclude that the place is packed at 1 a.m. Labor Day, 4 bartenders in view, all working hard. The rest of the scene is out of view to protect the innocent. <grin> Wish I could have made it, look forward to reading reports.

it was another great trip to CR, got to meet & see some great guys, shamas, ace, foxhunter, DG, mexpat, g-man and others. didn't get a chance to meet everyone, but the rabbitman had a special chica he needed to see, over & over & over!!!!

I have recently learned of a relatively new place in San Joese called "Oasis Massage."

It is accross the street from Machu Pichu resurant. The street might be Paseo Colon, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the place appears to be above average and clean. Full service is quoted at 10,000 colones (about $25US).

I was told that New Fantasy is becoming way too popular and other locations will become more convienient. Has anyone been to Oasis who can comment?

Coxslinger

The reports about the new Oasis are correct. Good alternative place. Since the expansion I do not think the New Fantasy is too crowded but that is a matter of opinion. I like it.

Do not forget about the 747 and the next door purple place at about 6000 to 10000 colones. Opens before "lunch" for your daytime pleasure.

Re: Oasis

I just posted a couple of photos from Oasis on the new photo page.

Trip report

Got in on Thursday with Ace, SandRabbit & Horsetrader all on Delta.

Checked in the Royal Dutch, got a small room w/poor AC. About 45 minutes later, Helena called and had the day shift desk guy come up and move me to a larger room. Second room was very large, 2 king beds with plenty of space all around them.

Moved to the Presidente when rooms opened up. Ace and myself got new rooms and used them with gusto.

Firday afternoon we had the massing of the mongers, Ace, DonGordo, Acatman, Dino, Jeffnew, Gamlinman, TMan and about 25 others showed up. Sandrabbit did hop in and out quickly, can't blame him a bit.

Saw my three favorites, E, A & R, all three are so pretty and relaxed, mi amigos. Had a date with LB for the first time, she's a good ole gal, no beauty but has a golden heart and really really gets into her service. Found out that her sister S was open for a visit so had both of them come by a few days later.

Had meals with E, R and Y at the News Cafe, quite nice :-)

Also met Y, A's cousin. Great looks and gives an excellent professional massage. Will massage every muscle and will bbbj and titty massage. Very active tongue that really knows where to flick and lick. Saw her a total of six times.

Got the news on Oasis, but never had a chance to check it out.

Went to d'whateveritis strip club it's much better than the Park show. I will go back.

Speaking of the Park Hotel, I went there a few afternoons, saw An there, she's one of Ace's favorites. She's a sweetie who I need to see. I spent a few hours there each time and always saw a few really hot babes. Night time is different, wild M is a sight to see, a spark plug who will ignite the whole place. At the Friday night show, two guys who were celebrating their birthdays got free bbbj at the bar. Haaaappy Birrrrthdayyyyyyy

The New York Bar was a nice place to slosh down a few beers. Met J there, he's a great Irishman with a voice that was absolutely great to listen to. Got to hear Don Gordo sing My Way, he's better than Old Blue Eyes ever was.

Going back again and again

Shamas

Nice to see the Shamas report. Hope the other 30 mongers will report in soon. I have a question for you gentlemen.

Planning first trip to CR in a couple months. After reading through so many great reports I'm itching to get my ass grabbed by some of these lovely ticas.

I see some have success picking up a beauty in SJ and going out into the country with her. Some other's had less success. Any good tips for finding the right kind of professional woman and keeping her happy for a few days of adventure/lovemaking in a resort area?

Also, any opinions on where to find the hands down most beautiful girls for a once in a lifetime experience? Obviously, bargain pricing is not the object in this case, but can't risk a total strikeout either. Is BM the best spot for this kind of, ya know, fishing for the big one?

Megu Pechu

I am planning to visit CR within the next couple of months. Just a short R&R trip for a few days. Any holidays (aside from the obvious ones like Xmas) when the fun places close up and the chicas head for home? I've spent quite a bit of time in China over the past three years and have learned to plan around this.

By the way, this is a great board. All of the info here will make the trip a no-brainer for anyone with a taste for mongering. I will reciprocate with a detailed report of the debauchery.

At the beginning of December, most employees get their bonus (aguinaldo, I think) for the year. While most girls don't get this check, they may take off in mid December, and not come back for 3 or 4 weeks.

I looked on one guide I use, and I don't see any other "major" holidays until Christmas.

KYJ - I read some of your reports about different places, and I'd ask for a bit of clarification. I've been to most of the ones you list, and I don't see why you say Club 40 is a rip-off?

I went early this year, and while I don't think it's great, and the rooms upstairs reminded me of Tijuana, for the money it was fine.

Also, while VIPS Molino Rojo (Which I assume you're referring to) is a more Tico place, I've almost always had some good times there. Especially for the budget minded.

Megu, if money isn't a major issue, you should do pretty well at the Blue Marlin - as far as looks go; there are some major-league stunners there. Here are a few keys that you should adhere to when 'fishing' at BM:

(1) Try to find the girl that isn't really mingling with the others. It's best to find one who is not a regular, who - perhaps - is a student who infrequently goes to BM for some extra cash.

(2) Even if you have sufficient cash, it's best to get a reasonable deal at BM. Say 'no' to "wan-hundreed doh-lars" ... and stick firm to a 20/30-k colones. They'll realize that you're not to 'be had.'

(3) Even if you're staying there for only a week, tell them that you'll be there for 'weeks/months' and will be returning for sure.

(4) Speak some Spanish ... especially if you're interested in seeing a bit of the country with the girl. Pimsleur language lessons are the best.

(5) No - you are NOT married. No - you do NOT frequent the Blue Marlin. That's what they want to hear ... in looking for someone of potential boyfriend/cash-tool prospects.

(6) Find a TICA.

(7) Rather than offering to pay her way to go to places like Arenal or other touristy destinations, ask her what she'd want to do. You could make a true adventure out of this and see some places that you would not have had a chance to see if you went with a Tica.

I spent a week in Quepos/San Jose with a Tica who told me that (supposedly) she had only worked at Blue Marlin twice ... although I sincerely suspect otherwise. She was the second girl that I hooked with at the BM, and toured San Jose's clubs, the countryside of CR, and Quepos and the beach area. I stayed at the girl's home and her friends' homes as we traveled as well ... she'd even insist on paying at certain points. And ... of course, I had play numerous times a day for free (only time I payed was the first time). Although this was my first visit to CR, from what I've read, this isn't necessarily the norm, but it can be had. Just hook up and, after a session at your place, ask her what she had planned for the rest of the week and if she wanted to hang with you. The clubs at "El Pueblo" in San Jose would be a great start. Also, it's important to make friends with her friends (guys and girls) and even her family. You never know ... but you may be able to meet another fine(r) Tica along the way ...

Of interest ... though ... I did notice how she had pics of about a dozen other different gringos at her home.

Don't get me wrong - but it wasn't all fun and games. For example, with her friends in Quepos, I also had to endure seeing a couple girl-girl/half-drunken cat-fights, and some of her friends passing around a bag of the white powder. Nonetheless, it was an amazing experience ...


I should probably get together a better trip report when I get the time.

Muy aprecio, Player 2. Pimsleur es bueno, si, pero soy estúpido.

I'll be glad when I've had my couple weeks of pura vida and can begin to sort out the fantasies from the realities. Any place where there is no military, and few prohibitions against responsible sex, is my kind of place. I only hope it all lasts long enough for me to figure out how to retire there.

I've heard the US is meddling with immigration down there, causing headaches for the girls who's visitor's status is not totally up to date. The mighty Christian oppressors trying to ruin every corner of the world they can possbily reach. Hey, I can criticize because it's my country.

Maybe there is a kind of turismo sexual that will work in CR and keep it different from all the other overrun rats nests of the world. Could even change the world, or am I dreaming.

Soño estoy en paraÃ_so.
Sonreo. Lo beso. Ha desaparaciado.

Megu

Jamito- Re Club 40:
You are correct and I was mistaken. I was thinking of the Tentaciones strip club as being the rip off. Club 40 is a nice low key bar east of Jocelyns. Both on Avenue 7 between Calle 0/1 and 3/5. Both are primarily Tico places with nice low key reasonable cost companions. Best if you speak some Spanish and last month, Jocelyns had lost its alcohol license so you better like CocaCola. There are some gems among the rough stones there.
Note to Gringos...do not go into either of these places with an attitude or expecting Blue Marlin type Colombian girls. Be cool and be nice. It will get you everything.

Thanks Jaimito. I appreciate the info. Good to know that there aren't any unusual closures. I've had the unfortunate experience of being in Asia when there were weeklong national holidays that leave the mongers high and dry with service providers going home for even longer than a week. Nice to know that no such situation exists in CR.

Megu P

As far as hooking up with a girl for an extended trip this can be an excellent trip or it can end up in the crapper. I would strongly suggest you try her out and spend time with her before taking off for the hills. I'm not a Blue Marlin fan (as stated many times), some of the girls have an attitude lurking just under that thin vaneer of beauty. Shop with caution. As others have stated, please don't go for the $100 deals. Also remember the three rules of mongering. 1. Never pay up front. 2. Always agree ahead of time on everything you want. 3. Remember the first two rules.

One of the other guys hit on a good point, the harder a girl comes on to you, the better the chances are your not going to have a good time with her. Don't let them know your really interested in them either. Don Gordo just pulls out some Colones and asks "who wants to make some money?"

Dino had a reallllly hot Columbian babe this past trip. She doesn't show up at the BM till around midnight. I guess she's overstayed her visa.

Many good places have been mentioned below plus BM & Key Largo. A new massage operation just opened, Oasis. There is also a strip club out in San Padro, d'something. It's the only strip club in town with a decent reputation and decent prices. I'll look up the spelling and get back. They have lesbian shows and the costs are lower than the Park Hotel show and the girl quality is much higher.

Don Gordo has his own web site, dongordo dot com, look it up. He has many good pics and a link to Lump map of SJO. Lumps map is a must have for all mongers.

Shamas

That's right ,Dont go for the $100.00 gig , The average price for a lay down southshould'nt be over $15.00 -20.00(seriously) A banana picker down south makes anywhere from $8.00 - $12.00 a day ., So I guess some tourist with a woody gets quoated $100.00 for FS and goes for it ,that sets the price average for snatch . And be for real . Why even let some chic know you got $100.00 . I want to see some awesome postings !!!! And soon Too... Later

There aren't too many "banana pickers" in the San Jose area, so your analogy isn't helpful.

People pay what they think it's worth. I know a girl who got $100 for an hour with gringos 15 years ago in San Jose. It's a magical figure.

I believe the most I ever paid for a normal session was the $42 or $45 at Idem. It was quite nice and worth it to me a the time. Was is better than the $32 I paid at New Fantasy? No.

I've had some really good times at 747. Rocio for $10 for half and hour. $15 for 1/2 an hour at VIP Molino Rojo.

Some guys think that a nice looking girl like Rocio or Wanda from New Fantasy is sub par because they're not charging $100 is crazy. If you only want to hang out at BM, great. But if you explore a bit, you'll find a lot of real gems. (As long as you stay out of the tranny strolls!)

Sale on CO (Continental) today only to SJO and other places. Check their web site. Good for next few months except holidays which are dead in SJO anyway.

Shamas-
Is your strip club D'Pelufo or something like that? I will go with you next time. I have the directions somewhere.

Photo of Headquarters central attached. A work in progress.

Ace - I checked out the "sales" on CO and found nothing worthwhile at all, at least not from the west coast, and in December.

I fly to SJO 2-4 times a year, and have been stuck with CO for a lot of years. Now, I actually do go at Christmas time, as I have family there.

If you try to book a ticket after December 13, and a return any sooner than January 12, you're hit with huge prices (double at least).

America West is going to start flying to SJO on December 1st. It's perfect for me, since I'm going from Phoenix. A direct flight! They do have some days blacked out, but still lots of available days. And they're still less than American, around $450-$500.

I know that their introductary sale ends today, but I don't know what they're pricing is going to be afterwards. Hopefully they'll keep being competitive.

I had to call up AWA to look up my FF number. I had to wait about 10 minutes on hold, but then I had the most pleasant and relaxed conversation with an agent in years!

It will be interesting to see if they'll be doing any weekend specials to SJO later on. I wonder if Wanda is still working?

I hear you guys about the $100 sucker bid. I actually have a few different encounters in mind. Some hot, quick and cheap for sure, just to score the experience and get as much variety as possible. But I can actually get that around here (minus the cheap part).

What I can't get here is the lingering one, two or three hours of unhurried exploration with a girl I really want that with. I'd only go to $100 for three hours of unlimited repeats with a truely hot one with a great personality. Also some pictures to take home. To be paid at the end. So hopefully BM will be a good venue for those few experiences, even if I can't find a good travel partner. And then I can spice it up at New Fantasy, Oasis, Idem, 747,etc. Not that I'm going for the sex, of course. I just like to keep busy.

More questions:
I read somewhere a vague discription of where Oasis is located. Best I can figure it is on Calle 32 on the right going from Av. 1 to 3. I realize those streets might not have signs, but I want to mark it on my map.

I read in one guide book that "Zona Roja" south of Parque Central is a high crime area. In Tijuana, Zona Roja is one of the best places for Gringos to go (Adelitas & Chicago Club). But I haven't noticed any mention of mongering in SJ's Zona Roja. Anyone know about it?

When in a tourist town like La Fortuna, is it okay to ask at the hotel where to find a local club or brothel? Or are you going to be pegged as an undesirable type?

One last thought. Where does a local wealthy businessman or politician take a client to grease his wheels? Again the Del Rey? I keep thinking there must be some truely high class action reserved for the resident hogs. Any insights?

I will be heading out again to San Jose this Wed if anyone wants to have a beer or something. I will be staying at the Presidente but hanging out at the Del Rey Bar. I will try to post a report on my adventures.

Megu Pechu,

I'd take your "politicians" and "wealthy businessmen" to the Del Rey. I do suggest they adopt your attitude on pricing. No matter how much money you have, is not point in throwing it out the window and messing things up for other mongers. If the girl has to have "one hun dreed dolars" then she should have to work a good while for it. If she will not do that, probably is not worth having anyway. $100 is a lot of $ down there.

And, I have a question for anyone that may know. Does the Morazon have electronic room safe boxes? Yes the Del Rey can be expensive but having a very good way to keep sticky fingers off your valuables goes a long way with me.

Thanks:-)

I've never gotten a SW in Costa Rica in the almost 15 years I've been going there.

A few reasons: There's plenty of good stuff inside bars, MP, clubs, etc. You might find something nice just outside the door, but you'd best be careful. You're much more likely to get ripped off. Remember that if they're on the street they probably don't have a health card.

There are a couple of tranny walks in the central part of the city, and you'd better make sure you didn't pick up one. Parque Morazon has had a lot of attention lately, and you should be very careful around there at night.

I've seen DG and others talk about Oasis. Is it similar to New Fantasy?

I'll be coming for a few weeks in December and want to plan out a few adventures while I'm there.

Is Wanda (from NF) still working?

afinidad,

thanks, but if you don't mind, do not accuse me of taking "politicians" and "wealthy businessmen" anywhere. i have no taste for them. all i want is beautiful women. power, unfortunately, attracts beautiful women. i listen to someone like our american president, declaring a war against us mongers. (if you didn't hear it, you better start paying attention!) according to him, if you pay a woman for sex, you are interested in abusing **** girls.

to me this is like looking at elvis presely, who married a 14 year old (i think), and using this as an excuse for attacking the institution of marriage. it is absurde!

but we live in a world of ignorance and absurdity, and we are all vulnerable. i will show you all how to combat the abuse of **** girls. let us ban together and denounce it. if this president where honest, he would be enlisting us anyway, so i declare, right here, that anyone of us who has sex with a girl under 18 years old is not to be tolerated. such an act must not be allowed. all others who claim moral or legal high ground shall follow us.

there. done. now leave the rest of us alone, please, mr. presendent, and mr. afinidad, who is probably wondering whether to be insulted or pleased that i am comparing him to the president of the united states. let's call it a complement and call it even. (i'm smiling when i say that)

megusta

MP - I think you're confused about a few things. I don't think Elvis married a 14 year old. I think you're thinking about Jerry Lee Lewis. At the time JLL did it, there was nothing illegal about it, that I recall.

It's starting the presidential season, so you'll get campaigns about stuff that they know that people are behind. Instead of press questioins like, "How many troops have been killed in Iraq" it's, "How many people have we arrested for molesting poor children". Anything to divert attention from some of the most serious problems.

One question about dictating behavior in foreign countries, if the age of consent is 16 in a country, I don't think that they can legally do anything. The age of consent in some US states is 15 or 16. I don't know how the law is interpreted with people 18 or over, but will NY prosecute you for doing something in AL that is legal in AL? Doesn't make sense to me.

Jaimito Cartero,

You asked: "One question about dictating behavior in foreign countries, if the age of consent is 16 in a country, I don't think that they can legally do anything. The age of consent in some US states is 15 or 16. I don't know how the law is interpreted with people 18 or over, but will NY prosecute you for doing something in AL that is legal in AL?"

One state (of the United States) can not prosecute you for breaking the laws of another state or another country, but, for example, if your conduct breaks a New York state law and New York can show that some part of your alleged crime occured in New York, then New York can prosecute you. So if you arrange by e-mail from New York to pay for sex in Costa Rica, then you are likely liable for a prostitution charge in New York, or conspiracy, or more, depending on how creative the prosecutor gets.

The more serious threat of prosecution at home for activity overseas comes from the United States government (the feds). This is a bit of gray area that the laws and courts of the US are still working out, but the Department of Justice under Attorney General John Ashcroft currently asserts that they can prosecute anybody for breaking any federal law anywhere.

Sex tourism is an easy target for the politicians, and sexual exploitation of minors is easily equated in the public mind with legitimate prostitution.

Best to keep it safe and legal, and just fly under the radar by keeping your mongering activities to yourself.

T-Bird

Ace,
Yes that is the place, I can never remember how to spell it. I'll send you a few pics shortly.

Oasis, per DG is better than NF. Cheaper, prettier girls and as clean.

You mentioned SWers. I've seen a few but I'm better looking than they were.

Take care all

Shamas

<<one last thought. where does a local wealthy businessman or politician take a client to grease his wheels? again the del rey? i keep thinking there must be some truely high class action reserved for the resident hogs. any insights?>>

mechu,

i am a bit baffled to say the least. i was attempting to answer your question here. you then spring boarded into discussions about elvis presley and **** sex. then george w. with comparsions to made to me?? okay, yea i am afraid that i mind. lol

but since we changed the subject, let me offer a point of correction. it was in fact jerry lee lewis that married the young girl, his cousin, 12 years old and still sucking lolly pops.

as to keeping it 18, i am on board all the way. but how many fake ids are circulating around san jose? how closely is age monitored in the massage places and brothels? doubt we will get any concrete answers to this one... for me, they got to well look old enough, irregardless of id.

Well, I'll be in SJO in December. A place better than NF. Wow, that should be a fun place to explore. Has anyone seen Wanda at NF in the last few months?

Quote from Shamas:
"Oasis, per DG is better than NF."

I never said that. It is a totally different place than New Fantasy.The girls are pretty and the prices are low, and it is worth checking out,
but in no way is it better than New Fantasy.

DG

Being confused is half the fun. Speaking of which, can anyone tell me if I have to be a TSM member to get the TSM rate at El Presidente?

I'm planning on coming in December too Jaimito. Many have told me the first 2 weeks are okay but the week before,during and after christmas sucks because all the girls are home with their families. Christmas is huge in this Catholic country. I hope the girls will be out in droves the first 2 weeks as I am sure they will be working hard to make money for regallos for the Christmas holiday. If you are there maybe we can hook up
Maverick.

Megu Pechu

Just ask for the TSM rate and they`ll give it to you.

DG

DonGordo,

Sorry for the misquote, I must have misunderstood you. Altitude and alcahol don't help my memory one bit.

Shamas

Mav - Well, I don't know how much action I'll be getting, but hopefully some, at least.

I haven't been to SJO since earlier this year, so need to check out Oasis and make a visit or two to NF. I also haven't tried the new place next to 747 yet.

Hey Pilgrims , can anyone tell me where I can rent a small 125-250 cc motorbike in the San Jose area ? Oh, also any economical places ladies can be found .. Nothin fancy.

Thanks.

I don't know of any place that rents bikes, though I'm sure there's some place that does. I would probably contact a normal rental agency and see if they have an referrals.

For lower priced encounters, I'd check out 747, VIPS Molino Rojo and New Fantasy Massage. These are all between $10-20 for 1/2 an hour. There are also a number of clubs and bars that you can get inexpensive FS. Club 40 and Park Hotel are two that I've tried.

A little more expensive is Bar Idem, which is $40-$50 an hour, I think. If you search this forum, you'll find reference to Don Gordos webpage. He has a link on his site for Lumps map of San Jose, which has a lot of good info on it.

Hey Jaimito, That'll work., no doubt i'll check it out .I will have to look around for a moto rental. , not goin down until January .

Keep up the good reports ! Thanks.

Hi,

I just got back from SJO and had loads of fun. The Del Rey is exactly the same from my visit last November. The more attractive women show up around 8-9PM and most of them are taken out by 11-12PM. Of course, since the BM was my first stop after I got off the plane, I got hooked by the prettiest girl there for a C note (thinking with the horny head). Afterwards, I was in the right frame of mind to negoiate a better rate to about $60.

I did notice something different this time around. I had a late lunch at the Cafe Rey, after a session at NF, and noticed a lot of younger women walking in. I think they just finished with their classes at the university and was getting a little spending cash for the night or weekend.

My favorite steak house at the Pueblo closed down, so that was a disappointment.

I brought a couple of neo's with me and even before the day was out, they were planning on the next trip back. A good time was had by all.

Pura vida,

Chowder

What are the positives and negatives of DR and Pres? Will be in CR in Nov.

I have been reading the archive on CR and have decided that I am ready for a visit. I have a few questions for you old hands and apologize in advance for asking questions that have been asked here before. I did search the archive already and still have some unanswered questions.

First, what is the "best" time of year to plan a visit. I suspect the weather varies from hot to hotter to even hotter, I would prefer not to hit the hottest time of the year, or the rainiest. But if planning a trip during one of the lesser favorable times, from a climate standpoint, would result in more available chicas at a better value, I would also be open to that idea. I just don't want to hit the absolute worst time of year weatherwise. I know they have hurricaines and stuff and would prefer to avoid that sort of thing as well.

Secondly, what are the visa requirements, if any, for an American citizen. I have a passport already, is it necessary to obtain a tourist visa ahead of time or is this something that can be taken care of on arrival??

Thirdly, since I am a prospective newbie (not even an actual newbie yet) to the CR scene, I plan to stay at the Hotel Delrey. Is it necessary to book reservations ahead of time or is it possible to just show up and expect there to be rooms available? Is the staff of the Delrey pretty good with English, because my Spanish is not all that great. I would hate for a miscommunication to result in my showing up and having no place to stay.

And anything else you think I might want to know but have overlooked would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dougie,

I'm an old hand at this. First rule is, only newbies answer questions. Second rule is don't believe what anyone says.

Fortunately, your questions are good ones and easy to answer.

[quote]First, what is the "best" time of year to plan a visit. I suspect the weather varies from hot to hotter to even hotter, I would prefer not to hit the hottest time of the year, or the rainiest. But if planning a trip during one of the lesser favorable times, from a climate standpoint, would result in more available chicas at a better value, I would also be open to that idea. I just don't want to hit the absolute worst time of year weatherwise. I know they have hurricaines and stuff and would prefer to avoid that sort of thing as well.[/quote]Don't think of Costa Rica weather as being like Florida weather. Costa Rica has many mountains and most of the people live in an area that has a fairly high elevation. In those areas, such as San Jose, the weather tends to be mild year round. Meanwhile, down by the ocean, or in the lowlands, the weather is always hot. If it's too hot where you are, just start going up hill. SJ is mild all year, so if you're looking for girls you just have to avoid major holidays like Christmas.

As for rain, from mid December to April is considered dry season for most of the country, and that is when most of the tourist areas get crowded. That applies to the central highlands and the west and north. The east coast is rainier than the rest of the country, and has a different rainy season all together, so if you go to the Carribean side, just expect daily showers in the afternoon and heat, and bring bug spray.

[quote]Secondly, what are the visa requirements, if any, for an American citizen?[/quote]None. Passport is all you need. There is an exit fee of a little over $20 when you leave the country.

[quote]Thirdly, since I am a prospective newbie (not even an actual newbie yet) to the CR scene, I plan to stay at the Hotel Delrey. Is it necessary to book reservations ahead of time or is it possible to just show up and expect there to be rooms available?

I would hate for a miscommunication to result in my showing up and having no place to stay.[/quote]Del Rey is popular largely because English is the first language there. As for reservations, you're probably safer if you get them, but you also probably will be okay just showing up. Still, you can get better rates at some other hotels in the area if you reserve special bargain rates ahead of time. Some internet sites may help you find these rates, but don't ask me.

[quote]And anything else you think I might want to know but have overlooked would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.[/quote]Just go and have fun. San Jose is more dangerous than the rest of the country, but there are many worse places in the world. Be more careful walking around at night. Beyond that, just remember that most people down there think you owe them money before you get there. They'll be nice to you, but if you start giving your money away expecting special treatment in return, they'll gladly take as much as they can get from you just for being such a foolish gringo. Show people respect and make an effort to understand their point of view and you should be well on your way to having a fantastic time in Costa Rica.

Oh yeah, and if you see officials rounding people up in a bar, run the other way if you can. They have been known to do this from time to time over the last year or so and it ruins your whole night if they get you.

Hey Pilgrims, I keep hearing about Russian chics in CR ,has anyone spotted any Romanian, Bulgarian ,Hungarian or Yugoslavian ladies there?, And does anyone have any stories of bars or roadside houses on the truck routes or places in smaller towns ? Also a good steakhouse that cooks over wood/carbon . Thanks

Dougie and newbies,

Read the board first and you will find that all your questions have been already answered here.
The weather is cool year round, the only bad time to visit is Easter week and Christmas. Get hotel reservations in advance, they speak English. Go to the Del Rey for your first visit. No visa required but a passport is.

Photo of SuperBowl Sunday at the Del Rey sportsbook with live radio sports talk show in progress.

Chango,

Avoid East European chicas in CR at all costs.
Beware of the Translavania Twit. Avoid her.
See: http://www.geocities.com/piddweb/lstt.html
Stick with Costaricachicas.
A word to the wise...

No "roadhouses" nor "truckroutes" in CR. As a matter of fact no roads in CR, only unmarked potholed paths with some concrete in spots. Careful, because old buses are used for fill in the potholes.

Please Read The Fine Board before asking questions for they all have been answered in detail.

Thank you.

"Coming to Costa Rica Again"

KYJ - Good information about when not to come.

Dougie - Another thing, when ever this is an election (City, or country), they close the bars down for a couple of days. Sometimes the bars will sneak stuff out for you, but don't count on it.

If you want to spend a LOT of money the Del Rey isn't a bad way to go. I prefer not to encoure the higher fees they charge though.

There are a couple of other hotels that are very close and don't charge a "joiner" fee. I think the Presidente and another one. They only a couple of blocks away, so it's no problem.

Central Costa Rica has two seasons. Winter and Summer. It rains more in Winter. Not much else different. No huge temperature variations in the Central Valley (San Jose, etc).

If you go to the Pacific side (Jaco, Manuel Antonio) it is much more humid and hot. There are some nice beaches to explore.

To further clarify the weather in CR...

There are two seasons.
From mid December to mid April it is dry, and sometimes called "Summer".
From mid April to mid December it rains every day in the afternoon for an hour or so. Thus sometimes called "Winter".

San Jose is in the Central Valley which is about 3000 feet high surrounded by high volcanic mountains, and thus cool year round like Mexico City and the rest of the Central American highlands. About 78 degrees F in the day and 65 degrees at night.

The lowlands are warm and moist and thus you have rainforests. The beaches are at...sea level and thus hot year round. Nice for growing bananas. Halfway up the mountains is coffee plantation country. (Mountain grown Folgers?) See Photo.
By most people the sandy West coast is nicer than the banana plantation East coast.

The everyday rain is what makes the Panama Canal work. Rain fills the lakes and reservors used to fill the middle of the canal and float the boats. Gravity and Nature are harnessed to move tons.

Hey William, If the roads are that bad . , sounds good to me .Is the CR sektion of CA-1 (Pan American ) in that bad of shape ? The kaffee sounds good too . Good Pic of the finca. I would like to see some new pics in the foto gallery !

I don't think that Costa Rican roads are that bad on average. On the coasts there are some very bad sections, but in most metroplitan areas they're fine. Potholes, construction and other normal hazards you'll find some.

I drive in Costa Rica for about a month every year. I would prefer not to drive in the San Jose area since it's so congested. When driving to Limon or Puntarenas it's much easier, but Ticos drive a bit crazy. They'll drive 70 miles an hour through fog, when they can only see 20 feet in front of their cars.

Most guides will tell you not to drive in poorer countries at night. Or not to drive fast. I remember the first time in the late 80's that I drove from San Jose to Manuel Antonio at night. There was one section that was newly paved, and then after that was original road which was spotty. I was going 60mph and saw what looked like a big black spot up ahead. I stomped the brake and ended up in a 15 foot wide pothole about 6-12" deep. I slowed down after that.

For those in the NYC area, Continental has a weekend special to San Jose for $299 plus taxes. Flies out of Newark, I believe.

I am going back to San Jose on the 23rd for three weeks. Staying at the Hemingway (my favorite and it is 100 yards from New Fantasy). Hemingway has a 13 dollar guest charge and a good tropical breakfast. There is a new restaurant adjoining which should add to the experience. Barrio Amon is beautiful.

Would like to meet some of the legendary mongers.

Planning a side trip to Limon, and will post about cruise ships and service providers.

Question: I was told that I would not be welcome in the Park because I am Black. this doesn't make any sense to me, but ......

Does anybody know whether this is true or not?

Mexpat: " Ain't no such thing as romance without finance"

Mongo - I've been in the Park (for the show), but don't recall seeing any black customers. I can't think of ANY reason why they should refuse you, though.

I would personally not stay anyplace where they charged you for bringing in a guest. It's just a rip off fee. I don't think Morazon or Presidente charge this.

Mongo

I`ve been to too many Park Hotel shows and there have been black guys present for many of them. Race is not a problem at the Park Hotel. As long as you have the money to pay the cover charge for the show, they will let you in the door.

DG

Hey Mongo,

Tell us a little more about the Hemingway. I sure would like to find a nice place to stay that was QUIET, and CLASSY. and DOWNTOWN!! So many of the monger hotels are too noisy and just not nice enough.

I have stayed at the Best Western Irazu hotel but it is not downtown and too far from the action. I don't mind paying a few bucks for the chicas if the place is nice.

Thanks

Looks like the annual price hike has come to Hotel Presidente:

[quote]Thanks for your e-mail. The TSM rate for single room is $ 48+tax[/quote]

Mongo,
You will not only be welcomed at the Park Hotel show but will be asked to participate, if you have the admission fee like everyone else.
At the Friday night show over the Labor Day weekend, one black guy was having a birthday so he got a (covered) blow job in his seat at the bar from the show girls during the show.

I should add that some, and maybe many of the chicas have some black blood in their roots. Some more than others.
Some of the chicas are pure Indian, which they refer to as indigenious.
Some are of pure European decent.
MOST are a mixture of Indian, European, and Black, in various degrees, with a little Asian thrown in from time to time.

Some guys say "The darker the meat, the hotter the sex"
You decide.

-KYJ

Thanks for information, fellow mongers.

I will definitely make at least one lesbian show and one Tuesday at the Park.

In Costa Rica - the only color that is important to the Chicas is the color of your money. I don't remember any time when I have been there where "black" men were considered not to be preferred. It does help in bargaining if you are good looking, practice good hygiene and are polite to these chicas. But I have never seen any girl turn down a customer.

Hey Clod,

Just to give you a quick scoop on the Hemmingway. It is very quiet. A small place about a 5 + minute walk from the Del Rey, and other locales. The rooms are small and NOT as nice as even the monger hotels.

I found the rooms to be better in the DR, Morazon and Presidente. Also at night you would almost have to take a cab back to this hotel. It is in the other side of the park and should be avoided at night.

The place is small and kind of nice--the breakfast is good.

The other downside is that they don't have safe's in the rooms. If you are looking for impressive rooms--you should look elsewhere.

Just my opinion.

Cheers!

It looks like American Airlines is trying to compete with America Wests new flights to San Jose. Right now they have flights from LAX or PHX for about $337 plus tax. Runs about $400 or so total.

Flights leaving Dec 1 or later. (To match start of America West service). Some blackouts around around Christmas and New Years.

I'm going to try the America West direct flight from Phoenix in December. It will the first time I've ever been able to take a direct flight there.

I have a question , as I need some input and help that maybe someone can supply.
Last year in August, I married a Columbian girl while in Costa Rica. I had spent about two months with her down there after meeting her. (before the flaming starts, let me state I have not been sending her money or anything.) We were married in a lawyers office ,had a party with the staff of the hotel and some friends and witnesses, the marriage is legal in Costa Rica.
After what was supposed to be a quick return trip home to the states, I encountered financial difficulties, and was unable to return to CR.
M(the girl I married) does not have bank accounts or anything like that in Columbia or CR. Now that my financial situation has changed, I do not have much either.
I have been told that to get her a visitor,tourist, etc...visa to the U.S. is immpossible because she is an illegal in CR,has no money, no documented job,etc...and that I do not make enough, etc... to bring her here.
M and I cannot afford to go to her home in Columbia and do all kinds of paperwork there either. She is also scared to go back to Columbia because her father was killed there and she is not from the best of places there.
I have been told (non-professionally) that since she is my wife in CR that I should just go there, and fly back with her, I have been told to sneak her in through Mexico, I have been told to do all kinds of crap. Lawyers are useless info here in the states because they are afraid to recommend anything because they dont want to be liable.
I have not tried to do much about it in the US because they would want to see all sorts of proof of income, tax returns, etc..and I just am not that "up" on all that crap.

What would happen if I flew down, bought us return tickets and just flew into the states with her?
What can I do legally, or semi-legally to get her here without any government agency wanting to see my tax returns , bank accounts, etc?

I have been told by an immegration lawyer in California, that once I get her here...no matter how...that it is 99% of the battle, and we could work it out from there. Of course the lawyer could not make any recomondations about getting her in here.(cover your ass syndrome again)

Can anyone here give me some non-hearsay advise on what to do? Shes a really good girl, even offered to send back the ring and all to help me money-wise...never asked me for a cent....I know she's still "working"...and she hates it. But people do what they have to in order to survive.
Thanks guys
Dan

Dan - Well you've got a hard road in front of you. I'm very familar with part of your problem, but not all. One word up front: If you really care for this girl I would not try to smuggle her into the country. It's quite dangerous, and if something bad happened to her, I don't think you would be able to face yourself.

There are a number of legal hoops to jump through. First of all, you need to file in the US for her to come. Here's a link from the Homeland Security page.

http://www.bcis.gov/graphics/howdoi/spouselive.htm

Whatever you do, don't go to the US Consulate in CR to apply for her to come. It will be a waste of time and money. Only apply in the US.

There are certain things that have to be agreed to before she can come. Like you being able to support her, that she is HIV free, and not a prostitute. So you would have to fudge the facts on at least one thing. It is likely that you will have to show that you can support her, via W2 or your latest tax returns.

If you married her, then why should there be a problem with sending her money? She is your wife afterall, and she's there for your money like all other wives. :)

If at this point, you look back and realize that it was more lust than love, then it may just not work for you.

Dan,

In regards to "What would happen if I flew down, bought us return tickets and just flew into the states with her?"

Normally, prior to departing San Jose to U.S, agent at the airport in addition to asking for her passport, will also ask to see her visa.
If by great chance they fail, then first point of contact in the U.S. will most certainly demand it. She would be detained and possibly sent back to C.R. on the next flight. They actually have facilities at Customs at the airport to handle over-night accomadations, if a return flight is not offered again until the following day. No way would they let you both pass thru together and continue on as normal. It'll be a hassel.

good luck
eric7

the hemingway does have safes in the rooms, although there is a $3.00/day charge for the key. since my credit card doesn't work at atm's there, safes are indispensible.

the rooms are not up to the level of holiday inns, but they are clean. some rooms are better than others. it is an old house so there are quirks.

free internet access.

the comment about taxis to/from gringo gulch at night is correct. there are huge transvestites than roam the streets and parks in this area that rob men. taxi is about $1.25. daytime or walking in groups is ok.

the desk people are fantastic. they call taxis, arrange tours, give information about all sorts of things (manicures, pedicures, therapeutic in-room massages, just about anything). they are all fluent in english and spanish.

Danny,

Wow! You have a lot of guts my man. But do not do anyting that is illegal to our immigration laws. She, your wife, will get the short end of the stick at the end of the day, if you bring her over illegally.

LOVE needs to have food and housing as well. If I were you, I would try to get my finance in order first prior attempting to bring her over to the State - that is if you want the marriage to last.

Look, she survives in CR for all these years without your help; she is a survivor. I am sure she will not have much problems of taking care of herself for a few more years to come without much of your assistance. However, it would be nice if you can help her out now and than.

Dude, much of luck to your endeavor.

Megu Pichu, and others, thanks for the info.


KYJ, I ain't a newbie but I ain't been everywhere yet so I consider myself a pseudo-newbie when venturing into uncharted (for me) territory. And there over 1000 messages just on the San Jose board alone. I will do multiple searches using keywords and sometimes will read an entire archive from start to finish but with over 1k messages in the arc, saying "read the board first" before asking a few simple questions is being a bit jerky, don't ya think? I will stop after reading a couple of hundred messages and just ask the f'ing questions if I ain't found what I am looking for by then.

First trip to The Park and won the raffle.

Haven't found Wanda.

That's weird. I won it my first time too, and gave it to a buddy.

Where in the world is Wanda? :) If you find her, you'll have gotten the prize.

Your chances of winning a free Blow Job at the Park Hotel after the sex show on the bar on Friday and Saturday nights are actually very good odds. What happens is that lots of ticket holders leave the bar right after the show the if their ticket number is called and they are not there, another number is immediately drawn. Some other show attendees have already picked out a girl and gone to a room upstairs with her for action.
Thus there are really very few guys hanging around for the drawings...usually. Saturday night your chances are even greater because there are fewer in attendance. But sometimes Bill, the owner, draws fewer numbers. He draws a number about every 15 or 20 minutes so hang around like he wants you to and drink up.

If you do win a free blow job tip the chica a tip, because Bill does not pay them much to give you the BJ. He gives them about $10 to $12. At least give them a $10 or $12 tip.
Or a 2000C tip and some gift like panties or perfume. Especially if they agree to give a BBBJ and pose for PRIVATE photos which many will do. Do not post photos without permission, please.

One more tip. I always buy the girls at the bar a drink prior to the show without expecting anything in return. It costs me about $2 or $3 per drink and there are usually ten to fifteen chicas there. Without asking or expecting it, I get love and attention you cannot believe in return at the times I am there and when I return. They remember me and always say hello.
If you do not wish to buy all the chicas a drink, buy some for a select few you like or would like to know. Watch what happens.
In general these girls have nobody ever do anything for them.

They are not paid well at all for participation in the show. About $15 each if they are lucky.

I know this because I have become friends with several of the chicas who hang out there. They tell me the inside scoop on who is doing what with who and who has a drinking or drug problem and who is pregnant and who is having a hard time and so on. I get the same stories on what they are paid. They also give me their viewpoint on the bar, management and the visiting gringos. They lead a hard life. They can be fun..

Some are 3s and 4s and others are 7s and 9s. Hot and not. Gems and not. Your luck will vary greatly.

Enough of this -- have fun. Go there.

OK, guys. Where is the Oasis?

Here is a tip. There is a bank in the INS building second floor that is not crowded and has chairs. Great for exchange.

Had a bad experience with service at the Colonial. Was told by a fellow hobbyist / gambler that the Horseshoe is better.

Keep up the good info.

WW,

Thanks for the excellent inside info. I wish I had your Spanish skills.

I won the BJ my first time at the Park as well, because I collected all the tickets from the guys who split after the show.

The Park is a cool little hole-in-the-wall, neighborhood type bar in a not-so-great neighborhood (take a taxi). All CR mongers should see the show at least once, just to say they did, and there are some diamonds to be found in that rough.

Hello Gents,

I am a new member, and a bit of a newbie. Looking to go to Costa Rica in January, but I have a few questions. I want to spend a few nights in San Jose and some at the beach. Which is better Jaco/ Tam? Also I don't know if I can get any of my buddies to join me. Is the trip doable solo? I appreciate any tips.

Greetings,

I went to CR this past March, and had a nice time. Split up the trip between San Jose, and down to the beach. Beautiful country, but the girls were disappointing. Some cute, but no models as I found at the Campo Allegre in Curacao. Would I return to Costa Rica, yes. When you're downtown right up the street from the Blue Marlin is Gordy's. Fantastic food, fantastic prices. Didn't get a bad meal in that country, but for sure try Gordy's. Fantastic! Prices were high. 80 to 100, and it seemed if you weren't an older, heavier man, some of the girls could be snobby. Just some, not all. An honest unbiased opinon. By the way, watch the Delta webiste. They always have fare deals to San Jose. And Travelocity.com has a fare watcher that will alert you if a price drop occurs to a particular destination you've specified.

Best,

J Stem

Went to the Mansion on nueve. It has a bar to meet the ladies. There are some transfers here from the new fantasy. Was told that Wanda has indeed retired.

Well, I will be out in paradise also sometimes called Costa Rica again in early Dec 2003. By the way, I now live in the USA with a Costa Rican girlfriend I met using e-mail personals from one of those International personal sites, but I did have alot of fun 1st the prior year. I also sent $ 5.00 to the WSG chariy since this site has helped make my life alot better than it used to be.

As for the girls in Costa Rica, the most expensive can be found in the Blue Marlin bar in the Hotel Del Rey, by expensive I mean you are looking at $ 100.00. However, I would recommend that you choose a girl that you like who also likes you, and you will have a good time. Spend a little money buying her drinks at the bar and see if there is some chemistry. You are on vacation. Have fun, I did. Good luck. Party hard, but party safe.

I'll be in San Jose from Dec 12th to the end of the year. If anyone wants to get together (especially on the weekends), let me know.

Blanco,

Solo is definitely doable...kind of better in a way because you are in control of your time. You'll meet a ton of guys and potential travel partners at places like the Presidente and DR anyway.

I'm not big on either Tamarindo or Jaco--too touristy for me. Which beach to go to depends on what you are looking for. If you want action then Jaco has it, if you want beauty Manuel Antonio has it. Read the guide books and have a great trip!

CaribbeanGringo,

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to make the trip with or without my buddies. I would appreciate if anyone can give me the bare essentials: prices, bars, ect. I'll be sure to give everyone the report of my virgen voyage.

Never pay 100 dollars..repeat this when necessary.It is a buyers market ...even at the Del Rey.Even the top chicas there can be got for 70 tops.If not let em walk.It has been a slow season and you can negotiate,paying 100 only spoils them.Girls at VIPs,747 or Idem are available for 20-40 short time.Lecture over! Anyone going Thanksgiving there will be a monger meeting 11/27 5p.m. place-Blue Marlin tables by the windows...Drinking,lying,best blowjobs,worst fucks,ex wives,war stories etc will be discussed. pura vida.........Mule69

Hello Friends:

I am planning to go down to CR for the first time, in January. If you are a veteran, or a newbie, and interested in meeting up down there to check out the local action, please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.

<<Prices were high. 80 to 100, and it seemed if you weren't an older, heavier man, some of the girls could be snobby.>>

Stern I love it. LOL Bias toward the heavier older men. Well, I am older, but got some work to do on my belly. Got time though before my next trip.-)

Go ahead and pay 80 to $100 if they are dead set on it and it is a girl you really want. BUT, tell them "toda la noche" For all night. Hold your ground, but if they balk, settle for two or three hours, two pops. If that isn`t good enough, then walk, chances are they would have been just as uncooperative in the room. Many of these end up going home empty handed. But I guess they figure it is only a matter of time before a newbie or someone with money to burn comes in, keeps them for a few days, and spends a bundle on them.

Greetings,

Well my curiosity is piqued and am beginning my research into whether I should do this little adventure or not. I have been going to Germany this last year for the hobby and even though it is a longer flight, it really is so much more organized over there, it seems to me.

A couple of questions I have not noticed posed are currency exchange and travel to and from the airport. Does the airport have atm machines where I can use my card before setting out?

I'm looking to stay at the Comfort Hotel Real San Jose which advertises itself to be in the business district. I have no clue how far away it is from the action, but it seems clean, safe, and they do cover the transportation to and from the airport so that should take care of that.

I also noticed in the posts many cautions not to walk around alone at night. Is this still a problem? Someone also recommended bringing bug spray. Is that still needed this time of year? And funny as it may seem, the State Dept. website recommends getting all kinds of shots before going over there, but my main concern would be dysentery although several posts have said the food is excellent.

I have read Don Gordo's walking tour and that sounds like a great way to sample the wares and be economical about it as well. Rest assured, I will not pay $100. Too bad about Arte Sauna, that sounded pretty good. I am really more into quantity at a lower price, but definately will not sacrifice safety to get it.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions. If this is as good as Deutschland, then it will really cut down on some flying time.

NB

I think you really need to clarify why you're going. If you're going just for chicas, I would stay near the action. The Presidente has always gotten good reviews without having the outrageous $10-$12 joiner fee (like the Del Rey).

I walk alone all the time in San Jose. Day, night, anytime. I've never had any problems in 14 years. You do need to use your common sense. Parque Morazon is dangerous at night, and don't bring more money than you'd want to lose.

I personally go to Costa Rica to relax, and see as many chicas as my free time allows. Usually 3 or so a week. I go for 2-4 weeks at a time, so it's not like a free for all like Thailand or Argentina. I also have a house there, so slightly different than most people going.

There are airport taxis (orange in color) that have the concession at the airport. You can also have people pick you up. The airport is roughly 10 miles from most of the action. I think it would cost $15-$20 to get into San Jose.

I've never used an ATM at the airport, but have used plenty in San Jose. I'm pretty certain there are some at the airport. Dollars are accepted quite readily by taxi folk and many others. (Not as freely as Nicaragua or Panama, but widely).

I'm not sure how CR compares to the FKK places and such. However in the 6 countries I've mongered in, it has some very nice girls. I would guess that you could easily save 50% or more if you stay away from the $100 figures. There are nice places for $10-$50. Or get the whole night with an independent for $40-$80.

Kdog - You may also want to check Copa airlines. I think they're owned by Continental. They have some nice fares to the areas you're looking for too.

I'd say that San Jose has the most open p4p scene. Colombia is interesting, but there is a higher danger factor that some won't risk in going there.

Jaimito

Thanks for the tip on Copa airlines. One more question, did you find it easy to have a GFE in San Jose or do they act more like pros down there? Thanks - Kdog

Jaimito,

Muchas gracias....thanks very much for the positive report. I would be visiting for the senoritas for sure. I'm a true monger @ heart and the more the merrier.

I'll have to ask you about buying property later, but I have seen on some sites to avoid it because of title clearance. But, first things first.

Never done the FKK scene? It's a modern day Roman Bath type experience. The men walk around with towels around their wastes, and the babes all walk around naked. The facilities include everything from saunas to swimming pools. But what I like most about it is that it is a regulated industry, so most of the picayune stuff is handled for you. It's 30 Euros for a half hour with bbbj and fs. Entry into the better clubs is approx. 65.

Thanks again.
NB

Nasty Boy,

Forgive my ignorance but what is a FKK experience and where were you talking about a Roman Bath type experience?

John

NB/Kdog - Well, I certainly wouldn't rule out the FKK clubs. The few times I've looked into the forums there, I saw an extra 20-30 euro charge for BBBJ. Seemed a bit more expensive than I'd normally spend. (I'm a bit thrifty. Value for the money and such.)

You can find some good GFEs in CR. I've taken girls out of the clubs for trips to the beach, a night on the town and such. However, the Hotel Del Rey was not the spot when I first went (Late 80's), so I've never gotten a BM girl.

Learn to say Pura Vida a lot, and don't be too uptight about stuff. Most Blue Marlin chicas will probably be pro's. If you know Spanish you'll get much more mileage.

I fell in love/lust with a Tica when I first went there, so that's why I have property there. Unless you're going to be there a lot, it's not worth it. I wish I would have had $100,000 to buy property and land when I first went there. I'd easily be worth a couple of million now.

The only property I did buy was a "mother in law" house, which is worth about 10 times what I paid for it. In the mid to late 90's, I bought some land and a Gringo house, but by then prices had soared.

just fyi. i don't know if things are heating up down there since this past weekend, but america's most wanted posted some negative news because a retired doctor monger, who went after **** girls was hiding out and picked up in quespos or jaco.

i'll be heading that way again soon, possibly after the holidays.

Does anyone knows if Rocio is still at 747???

DWC - I saw her there about a year ago. Haven't been back since. I can check on it for you next month. :)

Don Gordo may know.

QNCT - I think this is kind of old news. I think the actual crime happened a few years back.

It's strange, because I've never been offered a less than 18 year old girl in CR. Almost everywhere in the world I've been, they're always asking if I want "young" girls. I tell them, "I want older *experience* girls".

Jaime,

Thanks again. I think I will wait till March before I visit. I have been watching the weather reports for down there, and it rains too much for me right now. American Airlines has an excellent deal out of Miami for Thanksgiving weekend, which is what I had in mind, but Frommers says this is the rainy season, so I'll just wait till March. Hopefully I can still get the same airline rates.

Si, yo puedo hablar un poco de Espanol......busco la vida loca...:-)

NB

Rocio is still available at 747...She also will come to your hotel and give a great massage and full service for a very reasonable rate.

DG

I was in San Jose a couple of months ago and stayed at the Presidente. I'm interested in going back and staying for a couple of months.
Can anyone recommend a pretty good residential hotel or who I can contact to rent an apartment for that time. I'd like one that's pretty centrally located.

DonGordo,

Thanks for posting the picture of Rocio. The first time I was with her was about three years ago, and I may have played a small role in launching her to "stardom" by posting about her and 747 (using the name Sinner).

I was back in San Jose and saw her in January. Still a great experience, and she had gotten the bolt-ons, but a little more professional and mechanical.

Funny about the in-calls. When I first was with her in 99 or 2000, I tried to convince her to come to my room, but she stood me up. This January, she told me that she liked to come to the Hotel Presidente (she remembered my hotel of choice!), and that she now offered the massage service, etc., but for about 5 times the typical charge at 747, though that would price her about the same as a BM girl. I didn't take her up on it, but I did happen to see her in her street clothes from my window at the Presidente as she was heading over to meet a client and I was sorely tempted to waylay her and make a better offer. Damn, that woman has hips!

Yeah, Rocio definitly have some hips...
Her best quality is in the oral department...
She is goood!!!
I know 747 was 4500 colones a couple of years ago.
Anyone knows their current rate, Also Rocio rate for
an outcall and a nighter?

I think she was C4000 when I saw her last year. I'd guess 5000 now. Novio said 5x normal rate, so I'd figure 20 or 25k. I'm a bit amazed she's still working there.

I think she keeps busy most of the time there, and she gets 1/2 the fee. $5 for half an hour isn't much. She was very enthusastic and did a great job when I saw her. (Sometime last year.)

Rocio lives out in the suburbs and is raising a son, so she doesn't want to work nights. That's probably why she's still at 747. Don Gordo can probably confirm this, but she said her asking price to come to your hotel is USD 70 or so. Again, because of her son, I doubt she does all nighters.

I agree that her oral skills are unparalleled in SJ, though the last times I saw her she no longer did bbbj (though I didn't insist). She's a smart cookie. The first time I saw her at 747 about three years ago, she was sitting there in her lingerie sucking on a lollypop as a form of subtle or not so subtle advertising. Hard to resist!

Novio - My first and only time with Rocio last year was bbbj. Not sure how long ago you saw her. I thought Wanda was a bit better in the oral department, but I could have been swayed by her "total" experience.

I'm sure she still makes excellent money for CR. I'd bet she's got a house, and will probably have enough money to retire within a few years.

I am thinking about going to Curacao OR Costa Rica from 12-22-03 to 01-02-04. Are there many working girls in San jose during this holiday season? And are the hotel rates high or low during this period?

My first session with Rocio was truly great. She simply
devoured me with so much gusto!
The second time (a year or so later) It was just as good
but I remember she doing so towel/cream cleaning and
in general, more inspective of the situation...
Probably by now she is only doing it with a hat....
For those who know: when you get out of 747 and turn right,
and then turn left at the corner. Up the hill, 2 and 3
blocks respectively there are 2 other places.
I don't know the name of these places (if they have one)
they are on the right side.
Anyway know what I am talking about?
Any reports?
DWC

Hola mis amigos, soy Kosher Cowboy from the MX forum. Kosher is headed to Kosta Rika Dec 12-22 and is very excited. he will now research all the good info here as well as other spots on the net. Kosher is very koncerned about hotels that will not only not be booked but also allow ladies to the room on these dates. What kan Kosher expect to pay for hotels?

KosherCowboy: Will get to use his spanish and monger in a new and safe klean spot.

OK. Now you gus are scaring me. I carry a third world country passport and there is no embassy or consulate in Costa Rica. So my passport is very precious to me and do not want to carry it around. I would like to carry a copy. Will this work or should I just stay in my hote room :-) ? Any advise is appreciated.

Mad - Just carry a photocopy. I've never been asked for one, personally.

john holmes,

sorry it took so long to reply...i did not see ur question.

on this forum, click on europe, then click on germany fkk clubs and you will learn enough to become an expert.

an fkk club is a health club with saunas, massages, swimming pools, weight room, etc. there are some that are adults only vs family fkks. my favorite is atlantis just north of frankfurt. http://www.fkk-atlantis.com the reason i say that it is a roman bath type experience is because i picture a big sauna in luxurios surroundings with lots of naked girls feeding men grapes, :-) well they don't feed u the grapes anymore, but on a good night you'll find women from all over europe, beautiful as can be, walking around showing you there pussy. some even pose in doggie position so u can get a good look at the merchandise as u walk by.

like i said, it's a regulated industry and there are many all over germany. some, of course, are better than others. check out the message boards for more information.

nb

Having been to SJO, Blue Marlin, etc., 10x, I want to suggest you guys go one more country down: i.e. Panama. Cheaper, cleaner, safer, just as pretty, nicer people, and the Colombian girls in Panama will knock your socks off!

And... American Airlines has a Thanksgiving weekend sale to Panama City Panama at $209 round trip.
If you go, post a report.

Kosher Kowboy,
Try the Morazon hotel or the Del Rey which has a website at www.hoteldelrey.com. About $69 a night.
On the lower price scale the Royal Dutch is about $29 a night if you call and ask for a discount.
Likewise call the Morazon and ask Lorenzo, in the mornings only, for a special discount.
All the hotels have websites and telephone numbers or email addresses.
Have fun.

Thanks, Kosher got lucky yesterday and through an amigo was able to get a rate of 48 buks a night at the Presidente, which is chika friednly with no extra room charges :) Koshers only pices of the puzzle to fill in are the nights of the 18-19th when Kosher wants to stay in Quepas or Jacó, and try another city out.^6 nights in San Jose and 2 in others.

KosherCowboy: Will post daily reports from internet kafés in SJ

Gents,

I have been reading the message board for a little bit now. I'm about to venture out on my first trip to Costa Rica. Actually this is only my second trip out of the US. I have been gathering all the info I can on this site and I also looked up dongordo.com. I am looking to stay a few days in San Jose and then a few in Jaco. Can anyone tell me about Jaco? I don't see a Jaco message board. I need the following info: where to stay(close to the beach and all the action, cheap, chica friendly), Transportation from SJ to Jaco, and any info about bars or clubs to meet chicas in Jaco. Your info is much appriciated.

Just a quick note, I'll be in SJO this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday, staying at the Holiday Inn this time. Except for meals my only bar hopping will be to the BM on Saturday at noon time to hook up with some of the guys. I have dinner & dates lined up which completely fills my calendar.

Life IS Good

Shamas O'Dognasty
pinch me, bite me, slap me, suck me

Blanco...I recommend the Cococabana in Jaco beach.It is on the beach and very nice.It is also 200 yards from the Beatle Bar where the action is. It is the del rey of jaco...many fine chicas there at night.Leo the owner also knows some fine babes.Mention WSA and get a discount.The rooms are 50-80 a nite.........Mule69

Hey Team,

Can someone please help me with the San Jose scene. I visited every massage palor I could find some were good. But this whole area looks dangerous. The taxi driver told me not to walk around at night unless I want to be robbed. I guess there are obviously certain bar to go to that have working girls. My question is this. Do you guys walk around the city at night time going from bar to bar? I think this is an extremely dangerous place? Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Chi-Man - You really need to read the forums. There are certain areas that are dangerous, but if you're careful and not going around drunk, you should be fine.

Pick one or two bars and stick to them.

ChiMan

To expand a bit more, SJO had some posting lately on another board that give reason to be alert and very concious of your surroundings. Parque Morazon after dark has a bad reputation. The walk from the Presidente to the Del Ray to the Hotel Morazon is usually safe, but as JC stated, don't do it if you're drunk.

Taking a cab is the best way after dark, other than that travel with a companion.

Be very alert for pickpockets. Two women, one older the other in her late 30s tried to pick William Walker's fanny pack last trip. They were working Ave 2 around Cal 3, we saw them many times going in and out of the crowds of people on the street corners and bus stops.

One guy reported his wallet was lifted at the BM while sitting at the horse shoe bar. He wallet was found later in the bathroom minus money.

If you do see something going down, point at the culprits and make alot of noise, it does work.

Shamas

I will be at the BM on 02/12 if any one want to join for beers.

Kosher will be in KR from Dec 14-22, if anyone else is around and wishes to drink/***** with Kosher, feel free to let him know :) Kosher will be a guest of the Presidente Hotel for 6 of those nights and will stay at the Kopakabana in Jacó for two nights

KosherCowboy: Is kurious how much it will be to ' rent a girl in SJ for the day'

Is that Kazurkistan, Kosher? You seem to overfavor the letter K on your Keyboard. Your posts remind me of a certain Chris Rock (Or is that Kris Rock in your case?) routine I've heard.

I'll be making my first visit to Costa Rica SJO, staying at El Presidente, December 7-11. I'm sure to have some questions, but am still about 30 pages away from having read through the posts for the past 18 months, and I'm trying to avoid asking the same questions as everyone else.

I hope some of you will be in town at that time for the breakfasts; after reading all of these posts it seems like I know people there already.

Ace Box

ChiMan
As said by Don Gordo of dongordo.com fame, take a cab after dark as you go to a bar or from bar to bar.
They are generally available except real late in the early morning hours.
After dark the taxis are free to turn off the meter and so you should negotiate or expect to pay C500 for a short downtown ride.

ChiMan

As Ace stated, take a cab. I stayed at the Holiday Inn this trip and took a cab each night back from the gulch. It was three blocks but worth all 400c. I grabbed a metered cab on the street, not one of the cabs that work the hotels.

I just edited my last posting, in error I used Capt Morgans handle, changed it to William Walker, I was tired and realized my oops while in SJO.

I spent Fri, Sat & Sun in SJO (best I could do as I had to give up Thanksgiving so one of my guys could go to Thailand and see his true love). The rest of Dec got taken by the rest of my crew so I took this weekend and made the most of it.

Has "Y" come by Friday evening, she showed up with a friend and the two of them gave me an excellent massage with bbbj/bbns (nut sucking) to finish off. Got her friend paid off and out the door then I took "Y" to eat at the Holiday Inn resturant on the 17th floor, she loved the view. We had some fireworks to watch while dining.

Saturday I went to the Colonial and watched some of the Michigan/Ohio St football game with Tman. Later I hooked up with an old fried of mine. That evening "E" & "R" came by, we went out for "E"s birthday dinner. We went out to Savanna and ate at a Mexican place which was very good.

I rarely do double girls, the night before with "Y" and her friend was not planned, the friend showing up was unexpected but I did it anyways. Well, "E" & "R" well know my single preference so when we got back to the hotel "R" was ready to leave. It took a minute to explaine to them that I had planned on a double session with them. E Gad Zooks, what great fun. I will do the two of them again.

Sunday "A" was supposed to come by for an early morning send off. She couldn't make it due to baby sitter conflicts, deep dark depressions, excessive misery, but I got over it. When I got home last night, I hit my favority massage parlor to make up for missing "A".

I'll be back in SJO 4-10 Feb and will be staying at the Prez. It's superior to the Holiday when you consider all the points. Matter of fact I don't think the HI has anything on the Prez except you can take multiple girls in. I'll make it a point to get "A" to come by on this trip.

Shamas

Ace - It's not legal to NOT use the meter (Maria) at night. The only time you should have to negotiate is if you're going a long distance (15 or more kilometers?). After 11pm or midnight there is a surcharge placed one fares. I don't recall the exact amount.

Sometimes if it's a medium distance (7-10 kilometers) and you're going from one city to another (Say Sabana area to Alajuela) you might get hit for a bit more.

If you're stuck in the middle of nowhere and you don't have taxi's coming I guess you may have to go with the flow. Shamas is right about taxi's at most hotels. They want double or triple the money.

From my experience the cabbies will never start the meter when their fare is a gringo.I go there often and can tell you they will try to get all they can and the difference between fares varies according to the cabbie.It is true the Hotel cabbies (ie Del Rey ) charge more .They even admit to it.My advice hail a cab....say "ponga la maria"(start the meter).They do this automatically for the ticos.........mule

Happy Thanksgiving to all, hoping you're all safe and have a drumstick on each ear.

Shamas

In two weeks I am going to be in C.R.

Where should I stay, Del Rey or Presidente ?

Please let me know your comments.

I prefer the Presidente. Only advantage to the DR is you can take multiple girls to your room, with a $10 fee per girl. Pres limits you to one at a time with no fee.

Shamas

Looking for some help! I am planning a little family vacation and wondering if there is good places to take a family ages 5, 7, 13, 16 and the wife to have family fun in C.R.? Beach and tour stuff? But also is there any day time action that a father can go have some fun on his own? M.P., Bars and Short time house? What are some good places to stay? Any help would be great?

Please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.

Dec 2002

HackeBeck,
I do not recommend the Presidente. Too much noise from the street and their remodeling. And the service in the cafe takes forever. Every morning some jerk plays annoying music on a flute outside the cafe. Forget it.

Go with the Del Rey.
It is so easy with their on web site reservation system and they will pick you up at the airport. Who else does that?
If you look on the HotelDelRey website they have a live webcam of the bar area. You may have to download some safe software to make it play on your computer.
Just do it.

The Holiday Inn central is nice too and reservations are so easy. Last time someone was there they said it was half empty so rooms should not be a problem to reserve. Ask for the Priority Club discount if you are a member.

Of course you can call the Hotel Morazon and ask the morning guy, Lorenzo, for a discount. That is what I would do. They have new rooms and it is so convenient.

Let me preface this by saying I've never stayed at the Del Rey. In all my mongering years I will always shy away from enriching scamming hotels. Whether it's $10 for a 5 minute local call, or $10 for bringing a guest to your room. If it's the difference between booking a single room and a double, it's understandable. Otherwise it's just a rip off.

Downtown I've only stayed at the Balmoral as part of a package on my first trip. There are 2-3 other decent hotels around that don't charge a rip off fee though. Presidente, Morazon and such.

Jim - Lots of things to do in San Jose. I'd try to get the family involved in a city tour or such, and if you golf, then you go off and do that yourself. (Plus a little side trip).

Massage places are open during the day, plus 747 and other more Tico places. New Fantasy is very nice. Bar Idem is good, but I don't think they open until 3 or 4pm. I've only seen Karla there, but she was quite nice. It's a wonderful thing to go through the whole line at Idem and meet all the beautiful chicas.

Prices will range from $11 (for 30 min) at 747 to $50 or so at Idem for an hour.

Post what you do on here so you can give other guys ideas. I have to sneak out myself sometimes, so any new ways would be interesting. :)

Help!

I was considering a trip to CR the week after next, Dec 15th-22nd, but am now leaning against it based on feedback I read on this board which indicated that it is slow that week since many of the girls pack up to go stay with their families for Christmas.

Agree? Disagree? I'd hate to go fishing when there ain't no fish.

Thanks, and by the way, if anyone needs any input on Havanna, I'd be happy to help you.

Dec 2002

Thanks For the info WilliamWalker,

I made my reservation in the Del Rey.

Can you also recomend me where is the best place to hang out between 2 and 6 pm , 747, idem, or where else would you recommend, where are the better looking girls? And better rates?

What can I expect in 747 and Idem? Can somebody help me, how does it function?

Thanks a lot

Fellow Mongers,

I may be able to fly into San Jose on 5 December. If things go my way, I'll land at 2200 - hopefully early enough to still be able to watch the Park Hotel Show. Anyone interested in going?

Hacke Beck
You asked about the best places to go between 2 P.M. and 6 P.M.
I think the best thing is a walk to the New Fantasy Massage place a couple of blocks behind the Holiday Inn. They have the best daytime selection at a fixed price of about $40.
On the next lower level is the 747 and the purple place next to it.
The fixed price is lower and the quality of the selections is lower.
A new nice place is called the Oasis which is another upscale massage place in the $40 price range. The chicas are worth it from reports. It is located across from Restaurant Manchu Pichu and has a black gate front.
An interesting day hang out is the bar at the Park Hotel. It is real hit or miss as to quality but the price is $25 for action and $10 for the room if you take a room upstairs for an hour. Add $2 for a beer while you take your time and check it out.
The Idem does not open until at least 3 P.M. and it does not really get a good selection of girls until 6 P.M. I think the girls work regular jobs and come there after work to work for some easy money.

-Have fun.

The pictures posted by Dapbas are the ones of some
of the tranvesties that hang outside Key Largo.
I don't understand what business they have in this board??
DWC

Dapbas,

We don't want any ladyboys pics on this board. But then on the other hand, maybe you did not know she was a he.

Looking for some help! I am looking to make a trip to C.R. sometime in the near future and I am looking for some information. What I am looking for is a good site with great infor on the scene in C.R.

I have played in D.R. 3 times and 20 years of playing in Asia. I am looking for a site like stickmanbangkok.com which is on Bangkok; I would like to find one like this for C.R.

I have been reading the posting here and I am back about 3 monthes now and not seeing some of the infor that I am looking for.

What is a good guest friendly hotel, 4 or 5 star?
What is the cost?
Are the guest friendly hotels like the ones in D.R., where there are girls hanging out at the hotel?
Which hotels do Monger hang-out at?

I see the costs of a Short Time with the girls. But what is the cost of all night with a girl?
The girls in the bars, do the girls work for the bar or on there own?
Bar Fines?

Has any played in D.R. and C.R., which one is better?

Are the taxi easy to get in the club areas?
How close are the good monger clubs to each other?


Any help would be great!

All Woman again

I have been to San jose 10 times Dominican Republic 1 time no secret my preference.To answer your questions.Stay at the Presidente..if you want luxury get room 507 Presidential suite it is awesome.You will be a block from the Del Rey which has some of the hottest women you will ever see around 100 on any night.The Columbianas are awesome...no salida or bar fine as the girls are independents.Pussy cost more in Costa Rica but the quality is better than Sosua..so I can not compare Santo Domingo as I have never been there but heard it is full of hotties.Taxis every where,hell I just walk from Prez to Del Rey...1 block..Many casinos,bars in the "gringo gulch" area..You will pay 50-100 depends on the girl..............mule69

I am trying to decided between Costa Rica and D.R.? I need some help to figure which is the better location. Waiting to hear any information from people on which is better.

Is anybody going to be in town Jan 27 thru 30?

Please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.

Hey Jim - You've posted a few times here asking the same question. Once it was a family trip, and now I assume it's not. You need to go back further than 3 months to get a total read. Standard rooms in the Gringo Gulch area are $35-$60. Del Rey, Presidente, Morazon are the major contenders. The Del Rey charges a joiner fee of $11 or $12 per girl, per occurance.

Everything is subjective, of course. Costa Rica is quite a bit of fun, there is everything from a nice $10 chica to a $100 girl. I haven't been to the DR, but from what Jimmy DR says, it can be a lot of fun too.

Read the forums some, check out the pictures and roll the dice. Costa Rica has lots of affordable flights, many in the $350 range right now.

I won't be in CR at that time (going on Thursday), but there's almost always something going on. No major holidays at that time.

On a final note, I think that asking for more info only via email is a disservice to WSG. How can other people who haven't come to CR judge for themselves if it's the destination for them or not?

Jim,

I haven't been to the D.R., but based on photos of women, I prefer the look of women in C.R. I'm not into the darker skin women that seem to be prevalent on D.R. Now I understand there are probably fairer skinned women in the D.R., but based on photos I've seen, I make that judgement call.

Like Jaimito, says, CR has 2 extremes and everything in between.

My trips to CR have been different than most mongers. My first trip, I picked what I consider an extremely attractive lady, and spent 5 days with her. She is about 5'4" tall, a size 0/1 waist, long dark hair, a natural C-Cup, and speaks fluent English. We went to the beach for our first visit. When I return it is always to see her. She is my girlfreind down there when I visit.

I am ALWAYS assured of having a place to stay (her apartment), she cooks for me and she does my laundry. In her words, this is women's work, a man shouldn't do these things. I LOVE THIS MENTALITY! But she, like many Latinas, is very jealous and protective of her man.

I have gone with friends, and their approach is totally different. They pull as many women out of the bars as possible. One friend pulled 5 girls out of the Del Rey in one night. And he had the 5th one for free. She saw him leave with 4 other women, and said there is no way you could do this again. He said if he could do it again she would have to do it for free. If he couldn't nut, he said he would pay her $100. He nutted. When done she asked for the money and he said no that wasn't our deal.

Stay at one of the hotels mentioned below. Take cabs around the city, and enjoy yourself. Don't be stupid and walk around alone at night. And if by chance you just can't find something to your liking, you can always gamble and drink your time away at one of the casinos.

I am planning a solo trip to either Thailand or CR. Was wondering if anyone was into a group thing on one girl. Is this possible and where?

Thanks

Well I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to drive to my favorite Tico place, Vips Molino Rojo. It was a bit after 1am when I got there. The main street through San Jose was being set up with the seating for the Festival of Light parade today at 6pm.

The place was totally packed. Fuller than I've ever seen it before, actually. There was a two drink minimum of 700 colones per drink. They were actually not letting more people in at one point when I was there. Too packed.

The usual porn was being showed on the monitors, and it was dark and smokey like normal. The shows are pretty sporadic. There was no show for over an hour, and the 3 of them within an hour. The show is nothing special, the lighting is so low, that it's hard to see the girls. Mostly neon and black lights in the place.

There were about 50 women there, ranging from chicas that *I* wouldn't even do, to girls that I'd rate a 9 or so. There were from 70-120 guys in there during the three hours I was there.

Every time I find a chica that I'd like, someone else would grab her. I ended up waiting by the rooms, to grab a nice one when she was coming out.

The pricing hasn't changed much. 6000 colones for the girl and room for 1/2 an hour. A little less than $15. I did find that most of the girls wanted a hefty tip to do a BBBJ or wouldn't do it all. (The four that I talked to any way).

One 20 year old, super slim blonde (Sasha) wanted 5000 colones extra, which is almost as much as the whole session, so I passed.

I ended up with Vilma, a blonde 20 year old Nica who has super nice natural D cups. About 5'8", not slim, but very nice overall. In Thailand I had been looking for girls with pierced tongues, clits, etc. Well I hit the jackpot with Vilma. Everything pierced, except her nipples (which she had taken out awhile back). Two rose tattoos, one on her lower back, one on her thigh.

Decent service, a bit much with the fake moaning, but a decent CBJ. Didn't ask for tips, some medium strength kissing and a good solid experience overall.

I spent under 10,000 colones ($25) for the whole 3 hours I was there, including drinks to get in, lady drinks and room/chica.

I have a feeling that a lot Ticos who were there were spending their alguinaldo (Christmas bonus), so a lot more guys than normal. This was the first time I also saw so many Nicaraguans. Usually just Ticas and Dominicans.

Now the rooms are totally crap. A mattress with a thin sheet over it. In the past, I've just found a girl I like, give her a road test, and if she's good, arrange to take her out the next night. Less money, no bar fine if you get her before she gets to work.

I just made it back from a week long trip to San Jose. Maverick207, it was great meeting you there and thank you for the advice. Like I said, I wish I could have run into you at the beginning of my trip.

I must say that Costa Rica is everything that everyone raves about. The women there are awesome: firm ass, perky tits and they way they dress- goddamn! I think I may actually immigrate to Costa Rica!

Here are my two cents: The women at the Blue Marilin, are indeed hot, but why go there and pay $80, when you can go to New Fantasy or IDEM for under $50??? In fact, I stayed away from the Blue Marlin altogether.

I went to New Fantasy several times, and it was worth every penny I spent there. The costs are $40/h for full service. The great thing about that place is that they have steam rooms and Saunas. The NF is open from 9:00 to 21:00 everyday except Sunday. At the entrance there is the reception, to the left, there is a one way window, where you can check out the women. They have a website, but it is currently not accesible. I have heard that they tip cap drivers to bring you there - which of course gets gets passed onto you in the form of higher prices - so my suggestion is for you to take a cap to the hemmingway hotel and walk half a block downhill to the NF.

INHO the best kept secret of San Jose is the bar IDEM. At current exchange rate of 410 colones to a doller the all inclusive prices are $47 for a room upstairs. For $57 you can have a room downstairs. The only difference is that upstairs you will have to wrap up and walk town the hallway to the showers. Who cares about that? I went upstairs.

There is a bar to the far left inside Bar Idem. The women sit along the wall. They don't pester you for drinks, the most they do is try to make eye contact. This may actually be good, because beers cost 1200 colones ($3.00) and drinks for the girls are 2800 colones ($7.00). Service is great, and I think that they have the best looking women there.

Their hours of operation are about 15:00 till midnight. They are closed on Sundays.

I'll definitely be going back to Costa Rica. I think it is better than Amsterdam and Montreal. Service is straightforward and honest. At the very worse the service was business like. The experience was definitely an A+ in my books. I'll write about my experiences at the places where the Ticos go to in later reports. Have fun!

I did it! I bought the airline tickets for my first trip to CR. I have about a month I did not book a hotel yet. Has anyone heard of the Hotel Centroamericano? If not I guess I'll stay at the Presidente. But from what i've read you can't take multiple girls to your room. This being my first trip I definitley wanted to indulge. Can't you just give the guy at the front desk a little cash, and forget about that rule? I have a lot of reading to do, trying to get all the info I can before my trip. If anybody has any info that hasn't been posted in awhile let me know with a PM.

Thanks gents and as they say Pura Vida!

Hey,

Nice report Exodus, very valuable advice. I'm heading down to CR in a couple of days, my first time down. Glad I read your report, any other advice would also be appreciated!

Will be in San Jose until the weekend, then heading out to the pacific coast. Anyone else down there want to meet up for a beer and compare notes?

Already booked a room at the Hotel del Rey, so you're report about spots other than the Blue Marlin were nice tips.

Can't wait,

Keg

Blanco,

When I first lived in CR I would stay at the Centroamericano. Good prices, very friendly staff, and your stuff is safe in storage when traveling. Downside are it is on the edge of a shady area (calle 8), pretty noisy (but most hotels downtown are), and a bit of a walk to the gulch. I never used it for hobbying, so can't speak to whether it is chica friendly or not.

Depending on when you arrive, you may not want to book a hotel yet, as generally you can find space in just about any. Maybe just make a reservation for one night and then check all the places out the next morning. Considering you have a month, don't lock yourself in on anything.

Best,

CG

A couple of questions here from someone who is not familiar with this part of the world. What is the difference between chica and tico? Also, for anybody that has experienced both, which is better, C.R or Cuba? How would you compare the two? Have spent over the last twenty years eating oriental, and am looking to sample some new dishes.

Thanks for any help.

Celante

I will be in San Jose, Costa Rica from January 2-6, 2004. This will be my first trip. I appreciate the tidbit of information that I have read on this board. I hope to be able to make a small contribution when I return.

Cigan - No idea on actual group sex. The closest I can think of that I've experienced is the Friday-Saturday show at the Park hotel. You get 6-9 chicas, dildos, oil and everyone gets to do everything *except* penetration and a bj for you. (Though a free one is given away, in a raffle)

Klyde - Well chica is girl, and tico is what the Costa Rican's call themselves. Usually you say Tica for the female. Here they call a Nicaraguan a Nica. Not sure if the Nicaraguans consider this a slight or not.

I think that there are a lot less hassles looking for girls in CR. Cheap flights, a wide range of girls ($10-$100) and lots of other interesting things to do.

One minor correction to the record: I have taken more than one female at a time to my room at the Hotel Presidente. I just signed them both in at the same time in the registry they keep for that purpose at the little end of the main desk as required, with the assistance of the ever-helpful Presidente staff of course. Both girls had ID. The brunette was from Colombia and the blonde was from Nicaragua. At that time (approximately 10 months ago now) nobody indicated that multiple females was a problem. I tipped the housekeeping staff and the waitresses in the cafe and maybe the doorman, but I never tipped the desk clerks.

CG,

Thanks for you info once again. I think I'll book the first night at Presidente and then look for something cheaper if possible. They quoted a price of $78 a night. I would like a clean, safe, cheap place to stay. I think I will make a trip to Jaco for two of the seven days that I am going. I have heard Copacaban is good. I'll be sure to post what I can, maybe even some pics.

Well it's been 8 months since I've seen my wonderful Wanda at the New Fantasy massage. I've tried to find out if she is still working some place, but nobody has any real answers.

I went on a quest yesterday to New Fantasy hoping to get some info.

I went around 1pm. As others have reported, no neon sign out front. They've remodeled the place, replaced one room, with a bigger waiting room for the chicas. I saw about 17 girls there, but supposedly there are 30.

I asked for Wanda and got a blank look. Most of the girls didn't look familar to me. They did open the back, and now have a lot more rooms, though you have to go up and down some stairs to get to them.

I got the 25 cent tour, and then started viewing the girls. There were a couple that went out and a few that got back into the room while I was taking the tour. Seemed like they had a fair business going.

Prices are 14,000 colones or $40 for an hour. Bring colones, as the colones price is over $6 less!

I asked for a recommendation, but turned down the first couple cause they just didn't look my type. I went with Amanda. A 24 year old Tica. Light skinned, medium height, medium breasts, but beautiful greenish blue eyes. She has a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor dolphin tattoo on her abdomen, somewhat covering an appendicitis or gall bladder operation scar.

I went to the steam room with her for 5 minutes. She offered to give me a massage in there, but I opted for the room. Both the TV and music were on, which was very distracting. I had her turn off the TV. The music was a mix, including relaxing music and then thumping techno.

I got a so-so massage, and then she started giving me a nice hand job with lotion. After a bit, I had her switch to to oral, but she wanted it covered. I wasn't in the mood to argue, so just sat back and relaxed.

She was pretty decent on the CBJ, but lost steam after about 10 minutes. I took a break and then proceeded to the Y. She was shaven, clean, and had nice perky lips. She responded nicely, and after she was thoroughly warmed up, I moved to the main course.

As always, I asked her how busy they were. She says she normally does 4-5 per day. She works 9am-6pm. And mostly gringo clients. Has 2 kids, father took off about a year ago. It seems that everywhere I go in the "third" world, prostitution is what single mothers end up with.

My main disappointments was the CBJ (being covered), and that she wouldn't french kiss. I'd rate a 6 out of 10.

I would stay away from any rooms right next to the steam room. It's very noisy and a bit distracting as well. I found that the person who helped you choose the girls wasn't anywhere as nice as the lady I saw before. (Heck the old one even came in and helped on a three way for 5 minutes! Yummm!)

I knew there was little chance of Wanda being there, but I was a bit disappointed, none the less. I guess she might be one of my "Once in a lifetime" chicas.

Jaimito...I have had the pleasure of meeting Wanda on two occasions.In July she told me she was quitting and she must have moved on.Her real name is not "Wanda" all those girls use fake names like the strippers here.I was there 3 weeks ago and the NF sucked.There were only 3 girls there behind the window and I was dissapointed at the quality...Yeah Wanda was the best......mule69

Mule - Well DG has said she was going to be the manager of another New Fantasy. Never heard any confirmation or such.

Yeah, well the girls are like us. Not many of us use our real names, either. Well if she got out of it, I hope she's doing good. She told me she wanted to start a beauty salon. What a talented chica she is!

Blanco
Ask for the TSM rate at the Presidente, you don't actually have to be a TSM member but you should get a discounted rate.

Ditto,

Should be able to get a room at the Prez for $48+ approx

Ok all looking for Wanda and an alternative to New Fantasy--

Its called Zona Blue and she is the madam--located on the corner of Calle 3B and Avenida 9; the front entrance is off of Calle 3. $48 or 19,000 colones.

website is (but not running fully yet, for me at least)


www.zonablue.com


Haven't tried it yet, but should be a similar set-up to NF

Carribean Gringo - I saw the link on Don Gordos webpage for Zona Blue, but only got some flash animation, and nothing more. Something about locations in New York and elsewhere. Wasn't sure it was the right place.

I'll check it out. If Wanda "trains" the girls right, it should be interesting. Thanks for the info.

Delta sale: ATL to SJO. $419, eff 5 Jan - 12 Feb.

For those of you new to Costa Rica, do keep a copy of your passport on you. I didn't think it was necessary, and got stopped by the cops. They wanted to charge me a gringo tax, but was able to talk my way out of the situation.

I wouldn't recommend carrying the original with you, due to the threat of it getting stolen. A copy of the original should suffice.

A couple of SJO questions from a newbie. I usually monger in Asia but will begin doing travel to SJO in feb. What a shame!

What is the latest on the guest policy at the Holiday Inn?

Has anyone visited Zona Blue?

I am not interested in staying a DR. If Holiday Inn is not guest friendly, which is a better place - Presidente of Morazon?

Ace - West Coast (esp Phx) fares have been a lot lower than your sale price since America West starting flying. United for $337 plus tax, Delta for $352. I love competition!

well, after an exhausting search, i located wanda's sex-o-rama, or zona blue. (i like my name better).

it's the huge 2 story baby blue house on the corner of avenida 9 and calle 3b. there is a huge yellow multistory building just across the street from it.

no sign up yet, not even a name on the front door. i was wandering up and down the streets since i thought they would have their name on something. after about 10 minutes, i felt a tug on my arm, and there was wanda! she knew why i was there, and she took me back to the place.

before we got back, i did try to convince her to take one for the team, but she seems to be offically retired. i did throw her over my shoulder and try to run off with her. i figured i'd only get a block or two though, so i let her excape while she was still giggling.

the setup is pretty nice overall. a few problems, but since they've only been open since monday, i can't be too critical.

they have a reception area, with the girl's area to the right. same glass windows as nf. 10 girls total.

wanda took me on the complete tour. there are still workman working on showers and other stuff. there are 10 rooms (wow, matches the girls!), each a fairly small one, with a massage only sized bed in each.

they do have a shower in each one though, and wonderful mirrors on the ceiling and beside the bed. these would come in very handy just a little later. no tvs to bother you in the room.

i then went to check out the chicas. while not as big a selection as nf, all seemed very doable to me. a nice mix of ticas with a sprinkiling of nicas, colombianas and dominicanas. all looked in the 19-29 range.

price is as described, $48 or c19,000. it's better to pay in colones, as it comes to $45.50 with the current exchange. they told me $30 for 1/2 an hour, i didn't get the colones price.

i let wanda choose my chica for me. she chose one of the ones that i thought was very cute. usually *too* cute to get a really good performance.

her name is natalie, and is 19 years old. dark raven hair, a beautiful tica with long hair, and nice b cup. pearshaped and sized. it seems like it's been awhile since i've been with a girl who isn't a mother. no stretch marks, just a beautiful body. yummm.

we started off with a shower, and then moved to the bed. i opted for a real massage, or 20 minutes of what a real massage is, anyway.

when i flipped over, she kept massaging, and then started working on the important part. very nice technique. i then told her to switch to oral. now, i thought that she'd whip the condom out, and i'd try to convince her otherwise. no such problem.

she started in with really good gusto. nicely skilled, and she complied with every request i gave her.

i decided that i wanted to eat some pescado, so i switched positions with her. she seemed mostly shaved (but had a tiny landing strip up top), and was really responsive. no nibbling though.

i always take all moaning with a grain of salt, but she seemed real all the time.

her pussy looked quite tight, so i wanted to check it out first hand. it was indeed! very, very nice. after we finished, i wanted to try out the sauna for a bit. since our time had already run out, she went to talk to wanda for a minute. she was smiling when she came back and went with me, no problem.

she gave me a face massage and a back massage while we were inside. the sauna wasn't quite up to speed yet, but wasn't too bad. it was fun covering yourself with the towel, so you wouldn't shock the workman when you came out of the sauna!

we then went back to the room, took a shower together and had some chitchat. i'm sure this isn't normal, but a total of 90 minutes.

apparently there is an upstairs area that they can build into and use if they get real popular. there are some funky blue spotlights mounted on the floor right now. be careful when you're walking on the way to your room. they'd be easy to trip on.

i got pictures of the rooms, building and wanda and natalie. i don't have my cable for my camera, so i may have to wait until i get back to upload them.

a final conclusion. if wanda has trained these girls (as she says), then i would have no problem ponying up $48 or so for these girls. this is the best session i've ever had with an under 20 girl, and in the top ten for all chicas.

even though my heart (or perhaps dick?) is broken that wanda is no longer working, it should be a lot of fun checking out the other chicas.

the smaller bed even turned out okay. smaller, but still good and strong for my big ass. :)

they also have a vip room in the back, with tv and very comfortable chairs.

no business cards yet. i think they'll have some, plus a sign out front soon. i definitely won't be going back to nf if wanda's sex-o-rama is open!

(zona blue isn't too far away from parque morazon. the aurola hotel is easily seen from the front door.)

Is anybody going to be in town January 26 thru 30th? American Airlines is $429 from Minnepolis thru Houston to San Jose RT.

Did Wanda say when her site is going to be finished? Just her home page is working.

Do GSM cell phones with service with AT&T or other U.S. Companies; that has international service, work in San Jose?

Well, I found another cable that worked, so here is a picture of the lovely Wanda in one of her rooms.

Here is the picture of Zona Blue. No signs yet, but hopefully soon. 19,000 colones for one hour. Well worth it.

Others have reported on it before, but I thought I'd give a quick report on the Tango India strip club in Uruca.

A few of my Tico friends have wanted me to go there for awhile. It's pretty hard to find (Near the freeway to the airport, behind the Costa Rica Passport office or something.) They advertise heavily on the english radio.

Cost is still 2000 colones (under $5), for 4 drinks. However if you want a beer, or a bottled water, they count as two.

They have a mostly complete airplane inside. They said it was a 240. Which may be a Convair 240. (Which is the aircraft Lynyrd Skynrd was in when they crashed).

They do a two set show in there at least once a night. 2000 colones. They have 6 chicas who take care of 24 or so guys. One dance in little uniforms, the last nude. A pretty good value for the money. Most girls would let you touch and fondle. Good grinding action, and mostly nice chicas.

They also go down the aisle giving you a shot of something from the bottle (tequila?) right before the nude section starts.

The stage shows are decent. Normal two song set. First clothed, second nude. You can't get close the stage however. They do have couches for people who want to spend the bigger dollars (buying lady drinks and such). I saw a few sitting there without chicas, but mostly people were on bar stools, or further back.

Sometimes they have girls dancing on the bar in the back, and a tiny stage over in the lap dance lounge. (Lap dance 2000 colones)

There is a jacuzzi room where they say they have lesbian shows. They didn't have one while I was there. They do have private lesbian shows, but they're $300 (US!). That's the same price they quoted a Tico for sex. Waaaaaay too much.

They have a VIP section upstairs. 7,000 colones for a private dance. They also have a small stage upstairs, and the rooms seemed nice. I didn't see anything that I'd pay more than sex at Vips Molino Rojo though.

You can have some fun without spending too much money here, as long as you're not set on having sex. The quality of girls was very good. I saw many young, petite girls here, plus some larger busted ones, in all attractive shapes and sizes.

Well for the total price of $250, how could I turn down the christmas morning flight to SJO from Miami. Hopefully the town doesn't close down for the holidays. I'll scan the prior reports for info since this will be my first trip down. It appears to me thus far that it is a toss up between the Presidente and Del Rey for lodging. Any new advice would be appreciated. If anyone else is in town let me know or drop me a pm.

I am also considering coming to CR Dec 25-Jan 2.
Is the town dead at that point?

From a mongering perspective I may not have thought this one through. I guess if the chicas all go home it makes no sense to book a hotel for the duration. At least I know the rivers, jungles,volcano,and beaches aren't going anywhere and I just might have to alter the focus a tad. Since the ticket allows no changes I am in and I'll just have to play it by ear.

Man,

If your still going let me know and we'll meet up for a beer or two.

Jaimito Cartero,

NEWSFLASH...just got back (7pm) from walking by Wanda's Zona Blue and there were numerous Policia at the place. Several Policia cars parked out front, and about ten of them in and out of the place. Not sure why?

I read your post, and unfortunately I wasted quite a bit of time walking back and forth on Calle 3 and Avenida 9, didn't realize there was a "Calle 3B", put know I know. Nevertheless, imagine my shock when walking down the street to finally get there, and then seeing the Policia. I didn't go in of course, just went back to the Hotel del Rey.

The New Fantasy seemed a bit lame each time I stopped by, during they afternoon, so maybe it's just my bad timing. I just left after looking into the room to see the quality.

When you know more about the Zona Blue, I'd be interested in hearing.

Adios,

Keg

We met at Jackson's Thanksgiving dinner and the Clarin Experiment. Buenos Aires is amazing!!

I'm arriving in SJO very late 12/24. I'll probably stay at Hotel Morazan, 1 block from the Del Rey, and 1 block from the Presidente.

I know SJO well, and we'll find some cuties, no problem. My buddies and I are heading to the beach (Jaco) on Friday. You're welcome to join us.

Yes, SJO is dead around Christmas in the normal haunts, but we know enough chicas and places to enjoy the Holiday.

Hey Dboy,

No explanation needed. I remember you very well. How could I not help but smile remembering you and Stormy with the lesbians in my apt. in BA. I look forward to meeting up again in CR. Thanks for the invite,I arrive early morning on Xmas and will book that night in the area of the Del Rey. Chicas or not we will make the most of it. See you then.

CERRADO!

Walked by the Zona Blue this afternoon (saturday), to see if they were open after what I saw last night.

The Policia have closed it down, and sealed the door with "Cerrado" stickers. REAL BUMMER, since I was looking forward to sampling this new spot.

Guess I will head back to the Marlin Bar to check out the afternoon selection.

Keg

Well, I hope nothing happened to Wanda's place. Would be a very big shame. They're normally closed on Sundays. But will be open from the 26-27 and 29-31, I think. 9am-9pm, I think.

I'll be here until the 1st, so if anyone wants to check out some of the Tico places, PM me.

I went to Vips #1 the other day (before the chicas arrived), and I'll post those pictures later on.

JC,

Can you tell me where IDEM is located, (an address or cross-streets).

I asked a few taxi drivers and none seemed to know what I was talking about, but offered to take me someplace else nevertheless.

At this point I've just been doing the Marlin Bar action, haven't been impressed with the New Fantasy selection, and no luck finding IDEM.

THanks,

Keg

Wanda posted on another board that one of her permits had the wrong name on it. That's what caused the closing. I'm arriving Christmas Day and hoping she'll have her place open on the 26th and/or the 27th.

She's a sweetie.

Keg,
IDEM is at Avenida (Avenue) 10 at Calle (street) 11, just across and South of Tin Jo Chinese restaurant.
Ask the taxi if he knows "Ten Ho" restaurant.

Wanda's Zona Blue will reopen after administrative things are back in order with the local official$. Opps, did I insert a money sign? Must have been a Freudian slip.

I'm glad to hear it's something minor. I walked by at 1am on Saturday morning (I was at Vips #1, two blocks away), and took this picture of it. I've seen these stickers on other doors. It does seem draconian to close everything down like that.

Keg - The map I use is from Lumps (available on DG's site - dongordo.com ) It's a little bit out of date, but has most of the good places.

After leaving Wanda's on Wednesday, I had gone by Vips #1 (Same owners as Vips #2-Molino Rojo one of my favorites). It was only 4:30pm or so, so no chicas yet.

Entrance during the week is one drink (600 colones, I think), weekend is 2 drink entry.

I stayed for an hour, hoping to see some girls, but when I was leaving, one girl finally came. Sasha, who I had talked with at Molino Rojo came by and we talked for a minute. This was not to be my last encounter with Sasha.

The were very accomodating, and I took pictures of the bar and rooms. Here's the first one of the outside and one inside.

The rooms are about the same size as Molino Rojo. They're a little cheaper. 5500 colones for room and girl for 1/2 an hour.

I went there on Saturday night about midnight. The place was very crowded. About 4 guys for every girl. About 15-20 girls total. This place is 1/2 the size as Molino Rojo, so not much wiggle room. Lady drinks are about 1200 colones.

About 20-30% of the girls work at both Molino Rojo and Vips
#1. Some of the girls told me that they'll start out at Vips #1 at 6pm, and then come over the Molino Rojo a bit later.

This is a very Tico place. I was the only Gringo in there that I was aware of. The waiter on my first visit said he does get a lot of Gringos in, because there's a tourist hotel across the street.

They have their stage at the end of the building. When a girl dances, almost everyone jams down at that end. The one dancer I saw was decent. They still have no extra lights on the dancer, so when she is naked, it's difficult to see her.

I didn't take a girl here, but here is the picture of a room, and the front counter where you pay for the room. At $13 and some change, it's not a bad deal.

You can also easily catch a taxi out front when you want to leave. Not a great neighborhood, but I felt secure there.

Last night was my "out all night" night for this trip. I started at a bit before ten at the Hotel Park lesbian show. I'll cover that first.

I brought my Tico friend with me, and we got there just before 10pm. They had the door locked, and the curtains up already. Earlier this year, I had listened to Bill and gotten there at 8:15pm, and then just sat around for 2 hours before the show started.

We knocked on the door, and they let us in. The show was just about to start. The price has increased to 7000 colones now. When the girls came out, I was a bit disappointed that there were only 4 girls there. I think if we had come earlier, they would have added one or two more girls. Only 5 guys before we got there.

There were two decent girls, and two a bit past their prime. In my eyes, Iris, who looks 22-24 was the nicest looking. Medium height, nice breasts, nice shaved pussy. One chubby big breasted blonde, and two skinny (past their prime) chicas. They did the normal show, but since Bill wasn't there urging people on (they said he hurt his back), it didn't have the same flavor.

Even though they brought the dildos out, they never even used them. I wacked my buddy with one a few times, but that was all the use we got out of them.

It was nice to see a guy in a wheelchair there getting some good attention. Everyone seemed to have a decent amount of fun.

When Iris came down to me, I told her that I wanted to "Tome leche", which I think means to drink milk. She asked, "verdad"? Really? I said "claro". Sure.

She then squeezed her nipple and milk started coming out. Now, I guess I never got enough milk as a child, so it's alway exciting to me. She bent down, and I got a mouthful of milk straight from the source. Yummmm. I'm sure I'll get comments on this! The Park doesn't allow any pictures, unfortunately.

From there, we went to Vips #1, which I've already reported on. After we left Vips #1, we walked the two blocks to Wanda's place, and saw that it was indeed closed.

We had to walk back down to Avenida 11 to catch a cab, as there were no empty one's coming on our street. The next stop in the next report!

A Tico had told me about Flamingo night club. It's very close to Parque Central, on the same street as Molino Rojo. We took a taxi, though we got mildly ripped off (500 colones). We arrived about 1am or so.

There is a 1000 entry charge, which includes 1 drink. This is a smallish sized strip club. Most of the girls look pretty nice. I'd guess there were a total of 12-14 girls there. Totally packed with guys when we came in.

Just as we started to sit down they started a lesbian show! A large busted blonde and a petite brunette started going at it. The blonde put a strap on, and started to pump the brunette with gusto.

Every ringside seat was taken, and they wouldn't allow you to stand up or come close the stage. About 2/3 of the audience tried this, and they told everyone to sit down or they'd stop the show.

I'd try to get there a bit earlier. They say they have the lesbian shows on Friday and Saturday nights only. Lady drink is 3000 colones, table dance is 7000 colones. A bit much, but either one of these will get you some good attention for 2-5 songs. I had my tico buddy ask about sex, and he was quoted 20,000 colones ($49). Kind of pricey, but there are one of two in there it might be worth.

They follow the normal CR dance routine. One clothed, and one disrobing. Some girls had their clothes off for only 10 seconds, and then left before the song was totally done. At least there was more light here, so you could see the nekkidness. :)

It's funny to see some of the Ticos who are sitting at the stage (like I was, after the Lesbian show). There was this one older guy, who everytime the bottom came off, he would stretch as far as he could over the rail to get a good look. Pretty funny.

There are girls dancing 75% of the time, so a decent show. Some of the girls will ask for a drink, but no pressure. I saw one DR girl (Jessica), the rest were Ticas or Nicas.

I spent less than $2.50 here in 2 hours.

We left the Flamingo Night Club a bit before 3am, and then walked the three blocks down to Molino Rojo. The doorman at Arcadas night club tried to get us to come in there, but they wanted 7100 colones for a girl/room. I poked my head in and didn't see anything that great.

I had drunk about 8 drinks that night, so didn't need any more. I ended up just giving the doorman 2000 colones for two drink tickets at Molino Rojo (for me and my buddy). It's a good think I wasn't drinking any alcohol, or I'd be on the floor.

It was about 2/3 full, but still some nice chicas. My balls were throbbing from all the other stimulation that night, so I just wanted a good bbbj. I had seen a girl another night (Alejandra), who had told me I could do ANYTHING to her. No extra charges.

So she came up to me again, and I said, "what the hell". She's not very pretty, about 30ish, with nothing exciting for the most part. I figure she should know how to finish me off. When we went to pay for the room, she started in. "Let's get an hour". I should have turned around and walked out.

I said, no, half an hour. We went upstairs to a room (another 10 rooms upstairs, for a total of 20 rooms, I think.), Sasha was sitting up there, and I said hi to her. As soon as the door closes, she starts asking for a propina (tip). I start to leave the room. She says, no problem, no problem. She then pulls out the condom for the bj. I remind her about the BB part. She then starts whining about not cumming in her mouth. I tell her no problem.

She gives a halfhearted attempt for a few minutes, and then wants to put condom on so she won't get cum in her mouth. I tell her no. She keeps going on for 5 minutes, but once I get going good, she stops, and then starts teething on my dick. Ever since Lorena Bobbit, I'm not excited about teeth or anything sharp chomping on my dick.

After another few minutes of a sort of bj, I let her put the condom on. She then does a shitty job, and I'm fed up. I just get up, rip the condom off and start dressing. She's now worried that she might get in trouble, but I just tell her "no problem" and leave.

She's a bit of a psycho, and I just want to get out of there. My balls are throbbing like the eggs in Alien before they hatch. I'm really pissed off.

I decide to find someone who I at least like to finish me off.

I had seen Sasha at Vips #1 and Vips #2 (Molino Rojo). While she wasn't quite my type (too young, and wanted 5,000 extra for a bbbj), I had been friendly with her, and she had seemed friendly back every time. I had bought her a drink and some cigarettes, so perhaps that's why.

I wasn't going to pay the 5000 colones for a BBBJ, but 6000 for a normal service should be fine.

I find her and tell her that Alejandra was horrible. I ask her is she is good at "mamar" (sucking), and she says yes. We go upstairs, and start undressing. I want to give her a kiss and at first she says no. Then she quickly changes her mind and really gets into it. Almost as good a DFK as I had with Natalie at Zona Blue.

Sasha is very petite, 20 years old and a Tica. I think the most petite I've been with in CR. Not an ounce of fat that I could see. About 5' 3", blonde. Has a tattoo that says "raffa" on her hand. (Say it's her boyfriend). She has smaller tits than most Thai girls, even.

She was a bit better than I had expected. Did a good job of the CBJ. She had a nice shaved pussy, and I did a bit of DATY, and then started in on the good action. Quite tight, and a good time overall. No complaining, no asking for tips, and pretty friendly. I even took a picture I'll post here. This was the first time I had my camera with me at Molino Rojo.

And while Sasha isn't great, she was a decent finish to my mostly exciting night in San Jose.

My buddy was eyeing a platinum blonde another friend had gone with a couple of nights ago. (Ginger). She has a lip piercing and maybe one or two others. She's dressed to the hilt and appears to be in her early to mid 20's. I'm not sure how high her heels were, but she seemed moderately tall. Both amigos reported very good results (CBJ, open to anal and good service). This girl probably had 2-3 times more clients than the closest girl. I only saw her outside for a few minutes in the 2+ hours we were there.

We finally left at 5:15am or so, just as the sky was starting to get light. A "pirate taxi" gave us a ride home for 1200 colones (we probably save 200 colones). My tico friend slept for an hour, and then went to work!

I'm happy to see that Wanda is now aboard WSG! I hope that Jackson will allow her to post her re-opening, and other tidbits. I've seen a lot of chicas in my life, but she is one super special one!

Whoever says there's no "Rockin' and Rollin" during Christmas wasn't here yesterday morning. There was a 6.3 earthquake near the Panama border. Even here in San Jose, it woke me out of a sound sleep. It seemed to last about 20 seconds. This is the second time I've been here during an earthquake that I felt in the last 15 years!

I am actually looking for a little help on my first trip. I have $$ to spend so that should not be a problem for me. I am actually looking to find the best looking girls that offer good service. I would perfer BBBJ and Greek lessons, the first is te priority. By reading the board I see that looks like the Blue Marlin is the only place that fits the bill. Does anyone have any suggestions/contact #'s? There are some beautiful women in the photo gallery. I would perfer my hotel to an incall place.

I can give good info about Chicago, some in Tampa and Vegas if you PM Me. Thanks in advance.

i went out for what i figure is one of my last nights out before i go back to the states. it is a sort of holiday time, so i wasn't too surprised at the lower numbers of chicas.

i wanted to check out a few new places, but only went to one new strip club, alcasar. it's at calle central and avenida 7. across from the old olympus (now hot lips).

i actually walked to all the places within 6 blocks of this place. most wanted 2000 colones minimum consumption. they were also light on girls, and heavy on guys.

la bella mansion is now asking for 7000 colones for the girls, 1300 minimum consumption. they also use a metal detector wand on you.

i remember something negative about josephine's, so other than asking the consumption fee (2000 colones), i didn't go in. they wouldn't quote the prices for the girls. often a bad sign.

there was a little bar next to josephines, (bar la tanga?), they said the girls were 6000 colones, but wouldn't let take a peek without buying drink coupons.

club 40 was packed with guys and maybe 6 girls. door guy says there were 3 upstairs. it's way too smokey in there for me. a few doable girls though.

this neighborhood is rough, so make sure you have some non-drunk backup with you. i walked about a mile and a half from 11pm to midnight with no real problems. there are some scary looking guys out. (i had my tico buddy with me.)

we kept going another two blocks, and there is a bar with girls in it. i forget the name right now (monaco?). the owner of the bar thought i was interested in buying it. not.

i did see the nice nica that i saw at molino rojo the first time in monaco. i had some little presents to give out, so i gave her one. i only took two with me this night, but they were very popular.

i ended up back at alcasar. they'd let me look inside, without paying. pretty nice girls - i'd guess 15 in total. looks similar to tango india. 2000 colone minimum consumption. (but drinks are 1200 colones each!). i only had one drink, but they didn't hassle me.

good shows, okay lighting. pricing still too high for costa rica. 4400 colone lady drink. $150 for 1 hour of sex. dollars! there were some there that were worth $50 in my estimation. (if i wanted to spend that much, i go to the bm.)

i don't understand how the places like this (mostly strip clubs) can really make money. i've never seen anyone take a girl out. maybe they make it on drinks.

after i'd seen all the girls dance, i took off to molino rojo. i saw sasha there. she changed her hair color (blonde highlights in front, brown for the rest), and has lipstick and a nice outfit now. i gave her my last gift (lipstick), and she seemed to like it.

i had a couple girls in mind, but they either didn't like me, or were tired. i'm betting on the former. i ended up going with maribel, a chica that wasn't great looking, but had a certain sparkle in her eye.

she was about what i expected. average, average, average. my buddy took the nica who was at molino rojo by then. he was very happy with her.

the only problem with bringing presents is the girl i went with was expecting one too. i'll need to have an extra one or two in my pockets.

the doorman at molino rojo never gives me my change. costs me 200-300 colones almost every time. get's old after awhile.

While I was driving around looking for places on Lump's map (Europa 2000 - Closed at 9pm), I saw a lot of streetwalkers around Wanda's place.

I was pretty sure they were transvetites, but my Tico buddy said they weren't. Time for some in depth investigation. (But not TOO deep.)

I parked the car, and we headed around. First one was obviously male, but I asked anyway. Yup, tiene picha. For the hell of it, I asked for prices, and was quoted 20,000 colones. $50!

Went down Wanda's street, and there were 4 girls in front of the lovely blue house. The stickers were off Wanda's door (Step 1! Yeah.), and they all looked very feminine and nice. Of course they all had dicks too. Only 5000 colones. No thanks.

I hate to say this, but if I saw most of these "girls" in a club, I'd be fooled about 1/2 the time. (Before the unveiling). I had seen plenty of these "girls" around Parque Morazon, and by the Clinica Biblica before, but never near Calle 3/3b, Avenida 9.

I've never taken a girl off the street, and I don't think I'll start here. I have seen some druggie type girls around the Mercado Central, but I'll stay away from those too. (My Tico friend works near there. He says they ask for 2500-4000).

This whole post is NOT about finding transvestites (I know the rules), but about never taking a chance on the streets of San Jose. I asked for prices to compare with the real thing.

I decided to go out for a just a few hours tonight. I didn't feel like the Park show, so thought I'd check out some other places near Molino Rojo. Since this is the Christmas season, may places are low on chicas, but should be up to normal amounts within a week. On a Friday or Saturday night there are 60-100 girls within one block.

First there's Miss Caribe. A nightclub that as far as I can tell has no cover charge. Only three girls there tonight. Normally 10 or so. 1/2 hoiur with girl is 7000 colones.

It has a stage, but with 3 girls, but none dancing tonight. A fairly small place.

I had poked my head into Arcadas nightclub the other night. I decided to check it out fully tonight. Entry is 1000 colones, and includes 1 drink. They had a promotion where you could get 2 Heinkens with your entry. Not sure how long this will last.

This place is about 1/2 the size of Molino Rojos. There were about a dozen girls here. A mix of Ticas and Nicas. The quality was a bit better than Molino Rojos (I'd rate them at 5-8 on looks). No real low-end girls.

Lady drinks are 2200 colones, a table dance is 5000, and a room with girl for half an hour is 7300.

The table dance designation is a bit different than the US. If you pay that fee, you get the girl for 10-20 minutes. Even if you just buy her a drink, she'll grind your crotch and sit with you for 10 minutes.

They have dancers more than 50% of the songs. 8 seats close up to the stage, and the pole less than 2 feet from the edge of the stage. If you want the best seat in the house, sit right in front of the pole. If you're not careful, the girls will spill your beer if they swing right in front of you.

Good shows overall, the standard 1 song clothed, 1 song disrobing. Unlike almost every other club, they stay to the end of the song on the naked set, and some will finger themselves, and spread wide right in front of you. I think Electra was the best dancer, but most were pretty good.

I had a few girls come over to me and ask for drinks. I got one for Jessyca, a 19 year old, with pierced nose, lip and tongue. Dark haired, medium height. Very attentive and good service.

I wanted to watch the show for awhile, but when she came over an hour later to ask for a drink, I told her that I'd rather just go to the room.

This place only has 3 small rooms. The two normal ones were full, so we went into what is basically a storage room with a bed (underneath the stairs!). There were bags of concrete, and a TV box in there too.

She would only provide CBJ, but did a decent job of it. She provided some limited DFK, but seemed to want to get to the action quickly. I slowed her down and told her I want DATY, but she said she didn't do it.

I had given her one of the little presents I'm carrying around (lipstick this time) earlier, so after a little convincing she said I could graze for a couple of minutes. She has a nice shaved pussy that was really nice! It's got to be clean or I won't go there.

Well 15 minutes later (She didn't stop me after 2 minutes...) I was ready for the good action. (Her legs had been quivering so much I thought she was having a stroke.) The nice thing about being under the stairs, is that the roof in the room is slanted. So I could place my hands on the roof while pumping away.

I'd rate Jessyca a 6 on looks (somewhat of a stomach, had one kid, I'd say), 7 on service and 8 on attitude.

I spent about $28 for the night including drinks and taxi ride back. Arcadas is a very good alternative to Molino Rojo, especially if you like a good show. They have the same porno channel (from Argentina, I think) that Molino Rojo and Miss Caribe have. Others have said it's illegal to have in a place that sells liquor. This may be true, but I saw the cops come in a few times, and they have no problem with it.

Depending on the girl you pick, if you buy her a drink, you can pull her top down, suck her nipples and quite a bit more.

My camera is messed up, so I wasn't able to take any pictures.

Greetings all,

I have been frequenting WSG for awhile now due to my travel (all over the US). I get a significant number of ideas as to where the action is.

I have just recently found out that I will be going to SJ on a regular basis for the next 1.5 years and thought I would investigate it beforehand.

Being completely unfamiliar with CR and not speaking spanish where would I get the best benefits for the buck? I will essentially be a tourista until I figure my way around.

Is picking up one semi-permanent an option?

Whatever help you can throw at me would be appreciated.

Thanks

I went out for a couple of hours this afternoon to check out some of the daytime places in San Jose.

I went to 747, and there were about 10 girls there. I saw Rocio come out for about 30 seconds, grab a guy and go back in. She looked a bit worn out to me. I stayed for 10 minutes to see if anything else nice came out, but nothing did.

I went next door to the purple house (Casa Lila - Sala de Masajes 258-2604). They're open Mon-Sat 10am-8pm. This is the first time I had actually been inside. They had 4 girls there, with one coming in later. Decent quality. They quoted a price of 6000 colones for 1/2 an hour. This is the gringo price, as I found out later.

They have fairly comfortable couches, and had a tv on sometimes. I came during lunchtime, and the girls were getting their chicken lunches delivered. A very relaxed atmosphere, with the girls joking with each other and you. A couple of the girls went back for their sessions, but it was pretty slow going.

Any of the girls were doable. Alexia was probably the least attractive. She seems to be a lesbian as she kept asking the petite blonde permission to DATU/ I kept teasing the blonde and telling here that Alexia just wanted some fish for lunch.

Here is a picture of 747 (gray house) and Casa Lila (purple). I didn't ask the price at 747. It was 4000 colones when I went over a year ago. Should be 4500 or 5000 colones now.

They say that there is normally 10-12 girls in Casa Lila. Many girls take 2-3 weeks off around Christmas. They said it should be back to full strength by the beginning of February.

I chose Karin, a 19 year old Tica. She had a nice body, and seemed pretty pleasant while I talked to her in the room with the couches.

The actual address given on the business card is: De los semaforos de la entrada del Museo de los Ninos, 25 metros sur.

Here's a picture of the front, along with a pic of the room.
