Puerto Limon is not a monger destination. The scene there is purely for local population and expats who live there.
I went there two times. Both times with girl I picked up at Del Ray. Both live near Limon and they wanted me to drive them near to their home. I had rented a car. But they made me stay on the main road and wait for them for obvious reasons. They did not want their family know what they do.
One of the time I went there was a fiesta going on which was lot of fun. Also there is a island you can visit and it was good.
There are no good hotels. Some young tourists go there for island hopping and beach fun. As for being dangerous , it used to be a major transfer point for drug traffic. But it has almost died down.
Took the bus from San Jose for 1,500. A beautiful 3 hour trip. Highly recommended for the majesty of the mountain rain forrest just as a day trip. Busses leave at least hourly between 5 am and 7 pm. Go there in the morning, have lunch, return in the afternoon for the price of a few beers at the Blue Marlin.
Got a room at the Park Hotel for $50 a night 2 double beds with A/C no breakfast included although a full service restaurant is open from 6am to 10 pm. ($50 was for 2 people) it may have been $25 per person. Nice room with a balcony overlooking the bay and Vargas Park. Stayed here two nights. Made friends with the desk clerk immediately and had no problem bringing back girls. Didn't really ask the policy.
On arrival, we walked from the bus terminal towards the park on the second street (walking street from the market to the park). I remembered from 10 years ago there were many bars and sodas along here, especially the last block before the park. Most of them had been converted to other enterprises. We stoped at one on the right in the last block. They were very accomodating and beers were 600. There was one more bar at the end of the street with a few working girls. We returned after checking into the hotel about 7pm.
It was my wingman's turn to buy and he got really pissed when we were charged 1,000. One of the working girls bummed a cigarette from me and he made a point by offering to buy here a beer. With coins in hand, he said how much. When she said 600, he said fine we are going next door and these chinese can go frig themselves. We left with two of them, went to the next bar (our earlier one), had a beer and cut the deal. 5,000 each.
By 9pm the streets are pretty deserted and erie. We were in a local bar about 6 blocks west of the hotel one night at this time. After making friends with the proprietor and waitresses he suggested we take a cab back. We walked but watched our backs the whole way. You need to score in the late afternoon / early evening on the walking street. 5,000 seems to be the going rate.
After a cruise visit to Puerto Limon, I gave this report in Other Areas (not knowing a Limon section existed):
Puerto Limon.
On a short cruise stop, I had no time to indulge. But putas seemed readily available in all the grogshops around the port. A tavern called "Washington" had a couple of tables full of them. Also around the nearby waterfront park. Language may be a problem. I spotted a truly fine older woman (early 40's) sitting alone at an outdoors table. We exchanged glances and smiles. She did not speak any English beyond telling me she was working and a "service woman. " Quoted $40 and hinted a "casa" was available. The language gap and lack of time kept me from finding out what was what.
Now let me add the following update. I'll be back in Limon in another year and look forward to it. I have an appetite to find out more. Limon is a fascinating city, with lots of history. During our one-day stop we took a nice tour in the morning (lunch included). Visited a banana plantation. took a short river tour. In the afternoon, I went to see the Black Star Line Restaurant, a remnant from the times when Marcus Garvey worked as a timekeeper on a United Fruit banana plantation. In this town where hardly anyone speaks English, it had a sidewalk sign that said: Fried Chicken. It was only on the way back, when time was short, that I met that fine older woman. My eternal regret. Muy linda. Who knows, maybe we meet again?
Is Limon dead? I see a few listing in [URL]https://cr.skokka.com/escorts/limon/[/URL] and figured it should be a good place.
[QUOTE=UnknownGuy;2627797]Is Limon dead? I see a few listing in [URL]https://cr.skokka.com/escorts/limon/[/URL] and figured it should be a good place.[/QUOTE]Limon is known to be dangerous. I would definitely think there are interesting times to be had but even driving through it during the day it is one of the poorest parts of CR. Also, the girls there are darker then other parts of CR as there is a mix of Afro DNA mixed in.
If you have a friend that knows the place it is probably a fun and inexpensive place, but otherwise swim at your own risk.

I am here today in Limon.
Unfortunately I must leave at 5:30 because I am on a cruise ship.
I have to report that the American bar, Bar Washington is closed.
The women I contacted on [URL]https://cr.skokka.com/escorts/limon/[/URL].
Had hot pictures and for a half hour wanted 30 to 50,000 colones depending on services. Unfortunately none of them were in central Limon but quite a distance away. So no luck!
It's been a year and I'll be back in Limon.
Any updates anybody?

Any updates anybody?[/QUOTE]I have met hundreds of mongers over the years in Costa Rica. I've never met one that I can recall that has been in Limon. Limon province, yes, but not Limon city. So don't hold your breath for an update.
