If this is the Adventure Inn that I'm familiar with then it is not particularly close to downtown. In fact that Adventure Inn is located close to the Cariari and actually much closer to the airport...

Red,
IMHO, this topic might fit better under either the "CR Travel Advice" or the "Other Areas" threads. This section, in my view at least, is intended more for announcements of the "I'll be in town...

Maple,

First, I should say this discussion is really in the wrong thread but, just to answer these last few questions, I'll address them here.

If you can really get a car for just $20/day then...

Maple Red,
The reason you found virtually nothing is that there is virtually nothing there (at least as far as decent P4P). The Tamarindo Diria is the hotel ($120/nt?) I hear most mongers talking...

NB,
As I indicated, I wasn't really sure regarding that particular place. Thanks for "keeping me honest" and setting us straight. So we can add one more place to those where the registering your...

Nixon, I think it is YOU who needs to get a grip.

A) It's Prolijo (as in Prolific), not Projilo.

B) My life is QUITE full entirely apart from this little board (thank you for your concern)....

I don't know what the pricing policies at hotels in other countries you've stayed in might be, but from what I've seen in CR, the rate is usually NOT the same for 1 or 2 persons or at least certainly...

That has worked for me at some non-monger friendly hotels (e.g. the Don Carlos) but it does have certain drawbacks:

1) The chica might have to check-in with you when you first check-in.

2) Even...

Nixon, don't take this personally because this is no longer about the Balmoral and what they charge but rather the larger issue of "guest fees" in general, regardless of hotel.

At least, when a...

Nixon, not to belabor the point, but even if you only bring back ONE chica per day that $15-20 (+TAX) extra is not insignificant. That added amount that you pay to the hotel is not that much less...

Pro-Hobby vs. Anti-hobby is not black and white. They may not turn mongers completely away like they do at places like the BW Irazu or discourage them heavily with a ludicrous $40 chica fee as has...

I don't know what gringo owned hotel outside of SJ that starts with an R you're talking about, but you might want to check out the Hotel Castillo. It has a pool table and is much more conveniently...

Jeesh, is that all you want to know about? You really need to go out and buy a book or something. If you're going to ask questions here and expect guys to want to help, then you need to learn how to...

RIP OFF!!!!

Just RTFF.

Is that concise enough for everyone? :) (that's an inside joke, beachguy)

GOOD LUCK!!! Your best bet would be to bring your own "entertainment" from SJ as I doubt you'll find much there.

I think the place he's referring to is the Olivo (w/o the 2nd i). It is not far geographically from the Corobici but you actually have to go a couple blocks further back along the north side of the...

Bakea is not really new or at least not in the last 1-2 years. But it would be a decent option anyway if you were staying in Barrio Amon as it is only a short walking distance from such places as the...

Steve, Interbus IS door-to-door, but I believe he was referring to the public buses in that part of his post.

The bus will stop to drop off a few passengers at a few places, particularly once you...

Great post Steve. I never knew that little trick about using HDR drivers to get to the airport. I like the idea about getting there on their dime, since with the HDR normally the shoe is on the other...

Oh great and mighty one, I suspect you really managed to keep up okay and didn't hold TGAM DB back. Of course, DB doesn't really NEED anyone to show him around but there are OTHER reasons to have a...

DB, we're talking about having another local get together at Winghouse on the 29th. Check out the other site for details or remind me and I'll keep you abreast of any changes. I know at least a...

The Tica bus station is just north of the Soledad Church. From there it is just 3 blks north (across Ave 2) to the famous Blue Marlin Bar and all the other offerings of Gringo Gulch. New Fantasy...

That's an 8 day trip minimum (usually more) and I don't think there'd be many opportunities for surfing while there and certainly not any "pink snapper" fishing. Also, you're talking about at least...

I hope you mean Irazu rather than Arenal. Arenal is not a day trip from SJ, you can not go to the top (it is still very active) and I'm not aware of any bike rentals or tours in that area on the...

IMHO, taking a chica from SJ to Jaco is like taking sand to the beach. Why do it? You'll find a fine selection once you get there without all the possible complications of commiting yourself to a...
