San Jose - 2004 Reports

[Snook]

i've been a long time lurker, but just started posting. i am in sj 4 or 5 times per year. run the gamut from the pensions to tico bars, to hotel park to key largo to bm. i knew the grapevine worked quickly in sj, but wow. the girl emailed about the photos the day after it was posted.

i'm sure some guy thought he would increase his stock with her by telling her and rescuing her virtue by writing the email to remove it. i appreciate that she might not want her picture flashed all over the world, but a better solution would have not told the girl (she will alert other girls and make it that much harder for any of us to get pics for our own view) and just pm'd that the girl has a problem with pictures on the net. the question should have never been brought up..

Just an observation.

In San Jose if the girl is from Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia and so on, she is usually here for short time (due to visa restrictions) and leaves kid(s) behind. Thus she is free to spend more time with you, do overnighters, hang out in the afternoon with you and so on. So while negotiating time duration, keep this in mind. Also Costa Rica cost of living is comparatively higher than Colombia, Gutemala and so on, and this should be taken into account during money discussion.

saint,

one rule that i always follow, if i take pics of a girl and plan on posting them, i get the girls permission. one of our bros posted some pics of my favorite girls without letting them know he planned to post them. the girls knew about the pics before we did (the grapevine is fast in sjo), ace00 contacted him directly and the pics were pulled. the girls have families and most of them try to keep a low profile about their jobs. understandable.

most of the girls at the bm know of this board and many others and check them. when they see a pic of one of the girls they let them know (for many reasons).

hope your girl isn't too pissed off, if so, take it with a grain of salt as a lesson learned.

Hey guys,

I received this email from one of the girls that I saw from the Blue Marlin. I emailed Jackson to take them down. Obviously one of you guys told her the pictures were posted. When you do this you are ruining it for all of us. Since this is a public board I had the courtesy of blocking out her face yet you still decided to tell her that it was up. She doesn't speak/write English so someone wrote this for her.


"Please remove the three photos of me from the *************.org site under the heading Costa Rica photos posted on March 2, 2004. I did not give you permission to post these photos and I am concerned for my family and my future. I am sure you can understand."

Second trip to San Jose. Tried New Fantasy. It was so much worse than last year. Overall quality (looks) was rather poor. Charge was 14,000 Col/hr. A/C in rooms did not work. Still chaep but not what it used to be. Was told better selection in afternoon. I was there at 10:30 AM.

Tried Blue Coyote (same street as NF). Nice and clean set up (because facilities are new). Beds are like message tables, not most accomodating for certain positions. Charge is 20,000 Col/hr. So it is about US$15 more per hour than New Fantasy. Tried a girl Estrella (calles herself STAR), blond, big boobs. Very good message and good personality. But wanted me to cum as quickly as possible. Would not slow down when asked. Reasonable English. Other selection also looked lot better than NF.

At BM hooked (no pun intended) up with a Panmanian who arrived to San Jose today (showed me passport stamp) but was also there last year. A petite Cindy Crawford lookalike. Speaks good English as well as Italian and some French (I mean language). Great girl, expensive but worth it. On top of that my first p...y in SJ who was not stretched by childbirth. She had no bambino at home.

Just wondering do a lot of people travel alone to these places? I am planning on making a trip but, I was wondering if it was a norm to travel alone. I don't speak the language well but, I am trying to learn now. Planning on a trip during green season. Around June sounds cool. Anybody planning on a trip around that time also, I'll buy the booze. I also heard marijauna is legal in CR. What you say? I heard that it really dies out during green season but, the prices also drop too. From what I gathered on this forum anybody paying $100+ for a short session from a BM tica is not doing the brotherhood justice.

Wow! I just returned from a week's visit and since I couldn't connect with my two regulars, I decided to do something a little different. I just went to a couple massage places for variety.

I arrived on Saturday and was expecting to stay at Morozan, as usual, but due to a communication error, I was referred to the larger Hotel Europa, which was a little out-of-the-way, but wasn't bad.

Hotel Europa:

Even though it was during high season, the Morazan mgr negotiated a rate of $42/day, plus tax, including American breakfast. I added the room safe to that, since they did not have free safe boxes, like I use at Morazan. So the total was a little over $360 for seven nights. They also have a pool, but it was too cold.

There were a few families in/out during my stay, but no real distractions.

I asked the beautiful chica at the front desk, if there was a guest charge and she looked around for families, then whispered, "It's $10."

The hotel staff, especially the bar/restaurant ladies were very friendly, but did not speak as much English as other gringo hotels there, but with my limited Spanish, it worked.

The formal evening menu was a bit pricey, but the baked/grilled corvina with cream sauce was excellent.

The Europa is about a block from Lipsticks, (the old Club Olympus), but I'd heard so many bad things about Olympus, I didn't go, and I think that it might be the same owners.

The Massages:

New Fantasy:

Brenda, a Tica was average, but was lactating, and so overly cautious that it took away from the experience.

Paula, another Tica, I believe. She's definitely worth a second trip. As a matter of fact, I did, but she was busy both times.

Carla, a newbie. Says she was a former bartender and her first day at Fantasy. The friendly hostess had recommended her. Also was average, but very passionate, which is good for me.

Also saw another at New Fantasy, who was consistent with Fantasy standards, but can't remember her name.

Eros:

Across from IDEM,

Their sessions are priced to match New Fantasy, at $40/hour. However, they are not as experienced, or attentive to details. Also, more clock watchers. Fortunately, the weather was cool, because one of the rooms was still rather warm.

In spite of this, it was good for variety and I had a couple of good experiences there. I would definitely stop by, when I return to CR.

BM:

Not into the BM scene but went to BM on Sunday, since there were few other options on Sunday. I met an expat friend there, who told me that Jocelyn's was closed, and that one was on my list for this trip. I met a blonde Tica, Elizabeth. She was not bad for $50.

Other food places:

If you are new to the SJ area, you might try La Campesina. It's a Chinese place, but the "rosty pollo" is their specialty. 1/2 chicken, with salad, side dish and 'refresco" is 1380c.

For a seafood experience, try La Princesa Marina, in Sabana. A taxi from Dtn SJ is about 780c. They serve a whole seabass or red snapper, head and tail attached, but deboned ("sin espinas"). You have choice of small, medium or large, a price accordingly. The medium was about 3000c. which is still a good price compared to the States.

All for now, until next time.

Ace-I used V on my trip. I surely couldn't have completed that volume without it. And i'll PM you before I go again this year. Thanks.

Jaime-I don't know how nice. No bugs is good enough for me. What are some of the average prices? Are there some bargains? I saw 3 Banderas resort shirts a couple of times while I was in SJ is that place any good. What's the story?

Maybe I should move this convo to the general CR board and not SJ.

Ciao,

L Dog

P.S. Hey Shamas, I never said I didn't spend alot of money brother. It was quite an expensive trip that's for sure. But I guess it doesn't have to be if I would watch my pocketbook a little tighter.

[Jaimito Cartero]

Muff - I haven't done been further than the airport in Guatamala, so I can't comment on how nice the girls are. However, $40-$60 will buy you a nice hour at Idem, Zona Blue and New Fantasy. And $20 will buy you a nice GF for the night at Polankos in Managua. (Downstairs, not the strippers upstairs).

[Muffdiver21]

Made it to Costa Rica, traveling around to see the sights before I go back to San Jose and blow to much money and have to go back to the States. Promise to do alott of mongering before I leave to try and find a good girl. Have seen some very pretty girls in other area of Costa Rica but have not asked for sex. Need to brush up on my Spanish.

I spent a night in Managua before I got here, Guatemala City has really good prices compared to other places. You can go to a really nice club in Guatemala City and get a girl for $40 to $60 bucks easy for 45 minutes in the club bedroom.

WilliamWalker:

Would you like to share her phone number? Send me an e-mail by this site. I will in SJ at Presidante from 3/1 to 3/4. Anyone wants to say hi, look for me, I am usually wearing a white polo sun visor.

[Ace00]

LDog,
You seem like a nice guy with more "drive" than I have even with help from vitamin V.
I was in the same business as you for a long while.
Next time you are going to make a trip to CR, private message me in advance. If I am going to be there I will let you know and meet you and introduce you to some friends.
In my opinion, staying at the Presidente and walking to the Del Rey is actually nice, even five times a day. There is always action at the Blue Marlin bar at the Del Rey as you know but it is nice and peaceful in your room at the Presidente when you wish to relax. Of course some cerveza helps, too. Most visitors prefer the Presidente, but I stayed at the Del Rey for my first three or four trips because my local pals that I travelled with, stayed there before. Some of my local pals still prefer it.

Yes, the city leaves a lot to be desired. I was in Narobi, the capitol of Kenya a few years ago, and talk about a hell hole. The situation is so bad the hotel is an armed compound. There was a shoot-out bank robbery across the alley from my hotel when I was sick in my room and I heard the shooting. Seven killed. None of the bullets hit my room. I was on a tour and about everyone got sick from the food or water sometime during the trip. Narobi makes San Jose feel like Salt Lake City, even with the recent shooting on Avenida 8 in SJO.

[Shamas]

LDog, 38/5 has a nice ring to it. Now what we need to do is get a good hotel that will support these numbers and not try to price us to poverty.

I'm working up my yearly travel schedule right now, looks like I'll have three short visits and a few longs ones this year. 38/5 is out at my age, but 14/7 will work.

Got to go, breakfast is calling

[Kosher Kowboy]

KosherCowboy must have made the walk from his room at Pesidente to Del Ray about 20 times in his 8 day stay in dec, piece of cake. Most of these walks were at night. It was safer than Chicago! Besides some beggers (ignore) there is nothing. Kosher always walks fast, is ready to run at any time, keeps his passport and wallet in front pockets, and carries no more than US equivelency of 200 on him, keeps rest in safe. Leave the jewelry behind too. Furthurmore, Kosher walked the Presidente to Bella Mansion and NF in the dark, looked for Zona Blue in dark, walked to and from Idem/Eros in dark, walked to and from Park Hotel to Presidente in middle of night, and walked through the Morazon Park a million times at night too. No problems anywhere! There is even a cop or two in Morazon Park at night as well as Parque Central.

Kosher also makes it a habit when he hears a street person "habla ingles" or "do you speak english" to ignore them. There is nothing positive about stopping your walk to talk to these people, its just a way to let trouble start. Kosher looks 2 blocks ahead at all times, and if you see soemthing ahead that doesnt look good, just cut off in to a bar or store or simply turn on another street. If one is that scared, take a cab, but kosher could not have felt safer or non-threatened on his trip.

KosherCowboy: Has ticket for March 11
