On Ave. Larca. Only $70 a night. Small rooms but clean, new and great location near everything. Also chica friendly.

Canciones del Mar, South Beach Hotel, Girasol (all owned by the Del Rey group), also Bahia Encantada but only between the hours of 10 pm and 9 am.

Looking forward to reading your update next week.

I don't know what Croc's policy is but whenever I've walked through there I haven't seen any hookers.

That would be slow night there!

Based on my experience over the past few years, the quality is always better in Jaco. And if the Del Rey is closed now, that will only accelerate the trend.

For example, the place I've been staying permits girls with no "Chica Fee" but only between the hours of !0 pm and 9 am. That said, it's not really enforced. So check with the individual place....

1) The action at the Cocal happens at a low level during the afternoon but doesn't really get going until around 8. It peaks around 10 and the hotel shuts it down after 11:30 because the music is...

I've seen Cocal girls on their way out to go to a bar, (like LE Loft) so I know it happens. But I doubt any of the top girls who frequent the bars never go to the Cocal. I think nearly all of them...

When you check in, tell them you want a room on the side of the hotel facing the parking lot, not the Parque Morazon. There's a ton of traffic on the park side at all hours and the noise will keep...

1) As I said, I'm a newbie to Peru but an experienced monger in various parts of the US and in Costa Rica, with a bit of experience in Panama.

The Del does need a renovation (I stopped staying there in favor of the Sleep Inn a couple of years ago) but if the same group owns it, it's hard to believe they wouldn't allow prostitution. That...

Looks like it will be quite useful. I'm a bit confused about your crack about "5 minutes" of my time. I don't recall saying that, but maybe you assumed that's how long it took me to write my query....

I've stayed there. And, yes, it's a cheap cab ride. For me the main difference is there's nothing around it, so you need to walk or take a cab to shop or do anything else. Canciones is also Del Rey...

Tica poolside at the Cocal. Great ass.

South Beach is too far from the Cocal. A better place is Canciones del Mar on Calle Bribri, about a half a mile away. Nice little place with a pool right on the beach. Also owned by the Del Rey...

I've used several shuttle services from San Jose to Jaco and back and they generally cost about $40. I believe they are also faster than a bus, although most make a stop at a rest stop part way...

I stay at the Bahia Encantada condos next door and pay $600 colones for a ride there from the Cocal, or barely more than a dollar. Make sure to tell the driver to switch his meter on. It might cost...

Hi,

I'm new to the site but am very experienced in the US and Costa Rica. But I'm headed for Lima in a few weeks and could use some advice.

1) What are the best places to stay in Miraflores?

I've recently read several reports that the Del Rey has been sold and will be renovated and turned into a "family" hotel. Does anyone know if this is true? Most of the stories I've read have been in...
