In Jaco, how far is the Poseidon hotel from the Beatle bar? Any closer hotels?

In Jaco, has anyone been to or seen the Backyard Hotel, or Hotel Pachoe Grande, or Hotel Paco Beach resort? Wondering how far these are from the action.

What is the Poseidon hotel on a scale of 1 to 4. Is it equal to worse than Hotel Del Rey?

This goes to people who have been to CR within the last 3 months. What are your top 5 places other than the Blue Marlin?

All hotels will take travelers checks or USD. Most girls prefer to be
paid in dollars. The Posidan Hotel in Jaco is owned by an American couple from Tennessee. It has an excellent resturant. I made reservations through thr Hotel del Rey. You can also make arraingements from them for transportation fron Interbus, for about 34 dollars round trip. There is a bar in Jaco called the Beatle Bar. There are alot of girls there.

Girls take both dollars and colognes.Travelers checks can be exchanged at most hotels and can be converted into any currency.The girls take cash! Request a superior room if you don't want a sardine can. Go online to find your hotel - I've found that bargaintravel.com has some good deals. The Blue Marlin does set up trips but I'd reccomend doing it direct to save some cash - search the web. Most charters provide food and beverages but check to make sure, I'd book your fishing trip prior to arrival because the Sailfish season is going to be kicking into high gear soon. As for the hotels you mentioned you better book now or you may not find a good place.

Thanks for the info Whitedog. Couple more questions.

1) I notice some people quote prices for girls in Colones and some in U.S. dollars. Are the independents paid in $, wihle the MP's, etc..are paid in colones?

2) Will hotel exchange traveler chacks or do I need to bo to the bank, etc... Also, should I get travlere's checks in U.S. dollars or Colones, if that is even possible.

3) Another thought, while highly unlikely it would be convenient, do the girls take traveler checks? wouldn't that be convenient.

4) What's best way to book and ensure a room at Hotel Presidente and in Jacko at Pisodan Hotel? ANy particular type of room size I should get at either place (I don't want to feel like a sardine), or any specific room numbers?

5) Is there a way to get a better than normal rate at either place?

6) Does the Blue Marlin set up fishing trips, or is there a better place to arrange that? Will any charters provide drinks and food or do I need to take my own?

7) Do i need to make reservatins for fishing before arriving or can I get a weekday trip scheudled while there?

Ok, with these questinos I shold be al set. Thanks again everyone.

Strikesfun,
They are open at 10 am (really 10:30 ) every morning except Sunday. You walk into a waiting room like a doctor's office. The girls are sitting on chairs and you pick one out and signal or nod to the back rooms and go in with her. Or you can wait until another selection appears from the back room when she has finished with a client. She points out her room and you pay her 4000 colones and get naked. She re-enters and bingo. Your price includes her and the room there. No take outs.
Tip her if she earned it. Bring a condom for FS. Expect a half and half with BBBJ.

KYJ, love that Kentucky Jelly.

Dondorgo, Iamlookin

747 Questions

Are they open in the afternoon 12-1? Open on Sunday?
How does the process work, Do you have to get a room? What is the room cost? Do you go back to your hotel?

Thanks, Frank

Ansers:

1. No STD''s here. I wear a rubber at all times and bring my own just to be safe. BBBJs are great but to be safe from herpes I'd stay clear of them. You maight get crabs but thats an easy fix.

2. You can do both... I'd recommend travelers checks..

3. You can use dollars in most places but I'd have some colognes on hand.

4. Travelers checks

5. Depends on who you are dealing with. Most of the hotel employees speak english as well as restaurants. The *****s know the important words but who cares do you actually want to talk to them anyway?

6. I'd reccomend getting out of San Jose for at least a couple of days. JAco Quepos Flamingo are all good places. The ***** action is a little slower but after acouple of days in SJ you should be dried up anyway.

7. Lock all your shit up and don't trust any of them. I had no problems on my trips ut better safe than sorry. Never carry your passport around but make a photocopy and carry that around.

8. Don't do drugs or [CodeWord140] in the street.

9. San Jose is pretty lame with the exception of banging *****s. I
whitewater raft the Pacuare every time I'm their which kills a day in SJ http://www.adventurecostarica.com/rivers/html/pacuare1.html
The fishing is unbelievable and I'd reccomend doing at least a day if your heading to Jaco.

Hi gents from a newbie. I have read all the postings in preparation for my first trip to CR for anything like this for that matter.

I am planning my trip in mid-Nov, just before the Thanksgiving rush, and based on my readings, I plan to stay at the Hotel Presidente. For those of you who I see will be there then also, I look fowrard to seeing you.

My questions are as follows and I appreciate any and all respones:

1) For those of you who have frequented CR, have you gotten any STD's and if so what kind and how prevalent?

2) ATM's, can you withraw cash using typical ATM card or do you need to do cash advance ona credit card?

3) Will I need any U.S. dollars there, or is everything typically negotiated in local currency?

4) Shoudl I take travelers checks or just lock up cash in room safe?

5) I know practically NO spanish, will that pose a problem in everyday transactions with the locals?

6) I thought of a trip to Jacko to hit the beach and clubs ther for a Saturady night stay - good or bad idea??

7) Do the girls ever try to steal money from your pockets or when sleeping?

8) Other than not to walk the streets at night are there any other pecautions to take??

9) Anything els to do in town during the day? Is a day fishing trip worth it?

Thanks so much for your help and I will do the same for the next guy.

DonGordo,
In reference to 747. I stopped in once but did not use their services. If I were to want 2 girls what should I be tipping them
or is the 4.000 colones good enough? Have you tried a duo before there?

**DonGordo** · 10-31-02 04:19

747 will cost 4000 col.(under $11)
this will get you a half hour with any of the chicas. At these prices it is a good spot to take 2 girls at the same time.There is a lot to be said for 4 hand massages, etc.

**Jaimito Cartero** · 10-30-02 09:15

$10 BBBJ.

You can get a might fine one at 747.

Don Gordo has posted this in the past, and there's why I went there.

A nice looking blonde nice Jocio, is the only one I tried, and she was mighty good.

It was just under $11 when I went there in September.

You can spend $40 and have a very nice time at Bar Idem, I've heard. There are many places where Ticos go and get good service for $15-$20 including room for 1/2 an hour.

Thickblackwood:
I must agree with Strikesfun on price.I am a Blue Marlin fisherman. I like to let the fish come to me and price is not critical to me. That is $100 us for 2Hr off fun with the best the BM has to offer is OK with me.But on the outh hand I have hade two girls up for all night for $70 us (that is $70 total).

**Strikesfun** · 10-30-02 00:05

Thickblackwood,
$10US, possible some location, but not likely at the DelRay, IDEM or likes. I am not sure one can do that good at the Park. That said, never go with the first offer, negotiate. Also, at $10 not sure I would go BB, but that is your call.

**Lee** · 10-29-02 23:46

Thickblackwood:
(http://www.hotel-presidente.com) for the best value.
(http://www.hoteldelrey.com for moust fun.

**thickblackwood** · 10-29-02 17:31

Ok. I've been convinced that CR will be our destination. Which guest - friendly hotels would you all suggest? What about some of the hot spots for the ladies? I'm under the assumption that BBBJ to FS should run from 10 - 50 USD. Is that correct?
