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.

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.

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.
