Tips on Mongering in San Jose!
Here are my personal experiences on mongering in San Jose. I hope this info will help guys have a more enjoyable experience:
*If you are in Costa Rica specifically to monger, i suggest staying in San Jose at the Del Rey,Sportman's Lounge or Presidente. My personal favorite is the Del Rey due to the Blue Marlin Bar being right there.
*Communicate the ground rules before making any agreements with the girls.
*No Cien!(Do not pay over $100!)
*Control the market. Explain to the girls that they will have the oppourtunity to earn $30-$80 based on their performance & attitude. They might even receive trinkets or cab fare if they are extra nice. Offer four different prices.
*Make it clear to the girls that they will be paid after services are rendered.
*Any violation of your agreement should result in you clearly & politely declining the girls services.(You will only be out $10)
*The attitude you see downstairs(Blue Marlin Bar) is the attitude you will see upstairs. If a girl is boring and disinterested in the bar, she will most likely be that way upstairs. The sex still may or may not be good,but the chances are she will be an unenthusastic clockwatcher.
*Some girls that propose threesomes will not touch their friend. In the bar the girls act like they are bisexual, but they are just trying to get you to also pick their friend. The girls that are truly bisexual will passionatly kiss and fondle one another in the bar. Alcohol will help loosen them up. Again, explain clearly what you want the girls to do to one another. Let the girl choose a girl she is attracted to.
*The girls seem to accept less money if you pay them in pesos. Get familiar with the conversion from dollars to colones.
*Tell the girls that you will be in town for 3-4 weeks. If you tell them that you are in town for a few days, you will get substandard treatment. All of these girls talk to one another and share info. I would not be surprised if they have their own working girl forum on the internet. I used this method and i had girls i have never spoke to calling me by name and giving me neck massages,allowing me to fondle and kiss them in the bar area. These girls see you as a potential meal ticket for the next 3-4 weeks.
*Treat every girl with respect. You are in paradise and the customer is always right. Report any major problems immediately to the manager/ or security.
That's it for now. I will be returning to San Jose in about 45 days. I will report my trip and other helpful tips when i return.
Purda Vida!

Looking for fellow mongers in SJ/Jaco Jan 21-30
Well do to starting a new job Feb. 1st, I've decided to take my first solo mongering trip down to Costa Rica. I'm flying in on Sat. Afternoon Jan 21st to SJ, spending one night at the Del Rey then 6 in Jaco before my last 2 again at the Pink Palace. This is my sixth trip to CR which is why I'm comfortable going it alone this time. I was looking at Rio but with all the crime and only a 5 hour flight from NJ to SJ I'm sticking with CR this time. If any fellow mongers would like to meet up for drinks PM me. I'm 31, not unattractive and speak enough spanish to get by. I know lots of local ticas in Jaco from my friends that own a bar down there. I'll actually be staying at the Morazan next to the Del Rey. Much quieter, cheaper, and no guest fees. 5 Days and counting.
Morazan or La Gran Via or ?
Hope it's okay that I post this in this forum; no one seems to be reading or replying in the Travel forum.
I am trying to save money to spend on girls, not on hotel bills. Which would you recommend, the La Gran Via or the Morazan? Both seem to be in the $50/night range. Of course the Morazan is closer to the action which is what I like about it but I've never stayed there. Is it noisy? Are there quiet "interior" or backside rooms? (I'm a light sleeper, once I finally do get around to using the bed for sleep...)
I have stayed at the La Gran Via and although the "ambiance" of the lobby leaves much to be desired, I found the rooms very nice, quiet, and clean enough, and I like the free breakfast, and I found the desk clerks to be honest and helpful.
Anyone have an opinion on which of these is best? Please say why.
Also, I'm open to other possibilities in this price range.
morazan info you may find usefull
Hey johnny sax... i have stayed at the morazan 4 times in the last 10 months and plan to stay again on my next trip...Some pointers...1. If you make your resv. on line, call them direct or you will get a outfit that isnt part of the hotel ...just call them give them your dates and your card # and everything will be all set. 2.When you check in , tell them why you chose them was due to the fact they charge no chica fee( i tell them that every time i check in)3. When you are making any deal with the girls from b.m. or key largo it really helps on the price when they know you are so close . 4 You will save money (not much on taxi rides) but if you get drunk its a short walk(from b.m or key largo)5. The rooms are clean and the price is right 6.They have a cool little bar that is open 24 hours and has alot of local people in it ..i have found pro"s and non pro"s in there all the time.7 Nice little casino to kill some time and they have the best sports book in the town there( if you are interested)8. i feel safe there ...except for the time i took 2 lesbo back to my room and had to kick them out ..when they thought they had a dumb gringo and threaten to call the police on me...never have i had any trouble with the hotel itself...9 Also (hasnt happen yet) they have some knockouts working as maids, dealers and wait staff and i have got to know them so could be some non pro action for me on this trip... on my last trip i got the 30.00 a nite deal ( maybe 35.00) not sure what it is now i dont think for a single it evers goes higher than 49.00 , look in the tico times and you will find a coupon for 10.00 or 15.00 off the weekday price.If you need anymore info give me a shout as i have found much better places to go than the b.m ..but the key largo is still a great time, also go back thur the san jose forum and look for the "MAP" IT REALLY HELPS as i find it easy to get lost there and less than half of the cab drivers will understand what you are saying ...unless your spanish is better than mine.....good luck and we hope to read about your trip...
Are there TWO different Morazans near the BM or what?

I cannot find a home page for the Hotel Morazan, and the site I am looking on seems to have TWO different listings for the Morazan!
[url]http://*******.com/8vzms[/url]
AND:
[url]http://www.1costaricalink.com/eng/hotels/hots/crmorazan/rooms.htm[/url]
They both seem to have the same name , only it says one is $42 and the other is $65! Looking closer, the $42/nite page has a 2005 date at the bottom , and the $65/nite page has a 2006 date at the bottom. Is it possible that they raised their price from $42 to $65??!! If so, we should boycott this hotel, that is an outrageous price hike!
Anyone have a direct number to this hotel so I can call and straighten this out? If they have raised it $23/night, I will tell them that is ridiculous and I won't be staying there any more due to this gouging price hike.
The Gran Hotel de Costa Rica did this a few years ago. I stayed there one night, had a great room for $45/ night. Then the very next year I checked again and they were charging $60-something ($69, I think it was?) for the very same room! I let them know they had lost my business, and indeed I will never stay there again unless they lower their price.
But of course the unfortunate fact is people WILL PAY the higher prices, so they don't care...
