San Jose General Reports

[DR Monger II]

I would go to massage parlors. Zona Blue, IDEM and etc for cheap play. It's a lot cheaper than HDR girls.

My buddy and I will be in the CR next Thursday for a few. I have learned a lot from here and thank all the contributers. I expect to get some hist for asking but. Was wondering towards the end of the trip we may be a little broke so if that happens where are the spots with the cheaper girls? I know they won't be supermodels but he wanted me to ask. Also, what are the better tours and such? Thanks all. We will be at the HDR.

Great photos and reports... we have some ladies in common!!!!

Next time you need a responsible wing man just let me know. You will still miss you flight but at least I can give you a doctor's note that will at least exempt you from additional fees.. ...
Happy hunting

I don't think there are very many flights getting in that late so it shouldn't take that long to get through C&I at that time. Shit, I've gone through in as little as 15 minutes during the day. By any chance are you flying Spirit Air? I think that is when their evening flight from FLL arrives. How pathetic is it when one starts to memorize all the various flight schedules? No guarantees if Spirit won't manage to screw up with the baggage claim, but you should be pretty good. Once you're out of the door, you could be at a hotel in downtown SJ in as little as 15 minutes, so you might even be squared away by as early as 12:30, much earlier than 2AM. Still I understand a little better where you're coming from now.

I agree that even 12:30 is still kinda late to meet her host family for the first time, but if you're going to a hotel that first night any way the real question is which hotel to go to and going downtown only adds another 15minutes to that equation. If you're with your daughter, sneaking out that night will also be a problem whereever you stay. I assume she'll be in another room, so maybe after she goes to sleep, which probably will make you timing later than 2AM.

At that time of night in Alajuela you're talking only bars and nightclubs. Any MP's will be closed at that hour. I don't think D'Pelufos offers any onsite f/s but that one may be different. And even if you could do some take-out (either by barfining, which I don't think they have either) or waiting until after the girl gets off of work, your still have the problem of sneaking her back to your hotel with your daughter in the next room. There may be some "down-home" local tico bars in Alajuela that are still open at that hour, but I suspect the talent will probably not be that great even if it is "more GFE". (Of course ugly women are more likely to provide "more GFE")The next morning, by the time any MP's open you could easily be in SJ, where there are plenty of "down-home" tico MP's to choose from if you know where to go.

Sights in and around Alajuela? Not much at all in town. Nearby you could take her to the Butterfly Farm just on the other side of the airport, Poas Volcano 30 minutes north of Alajuela, Zoo Ave heading away from SJ from Alajuela or detour to Cafe Britt just north of Heredia in Barva on your way into SJ.

If you head to downtown SJ to stay that first night, you could stay in the Paseo Colon area to be a little closer to the airport. For example, the Ambassador Hotel on Paseo Colon between Calle 26&28 is chica friendly but not that charming and it really only saves you less than 5 minutes vs something closer to the Gulch. OTOH, you may want to stay further out of the Gulch to keep your daughter from being exposed to what goes on there.

When I went to SJ once with my family, I stayed at the Don Carlos, which is a nice mainstream and very charming tourist B&B in Barrio Amon north of the Gulch. It also happens to be across the street from the NF, which makes it handy for sneaking away during the day, but I'm not sure I fooled everyone in my family with all my "going out walks". They also aren't girl friendly so any mongering done while staying there will have to be done somewhere else.

Once you're downtown, you can catch a cab to some club like Molino Rojo from some late-nite on-site down-home. Not sure how GFE that is though. All my sessions there have been good but fairly business like. I've had some great GFE sessions next door at Arcadas, but my favorita no longer works there. I've also heard that the chicas at Pirates are pretty fun and GFE, but the place is not so cheap and the chicas I've seen there not so bonita. You can also session on-site at someplace like Pantera Rosa or Kamur with some hot friendly chicas but the price goes up proportionately.

The next morning in the Paseo Colon area there is Oasis and at least 3-4 other "down-home" tico MP's within easy walking distance of the Ambassador. But I probably don't have to tell you about all the MP's in SJ.

BTW, I was just busting your balls about Nibu. He's definitely in a class by himself. So no offense meant.

[Masaje]

Prolijo,

I have read some of your previous posts and I can see that you are a valuable contributor to the forum. So, out of respect for your past work I will provide a few more details, rather than risk being accused of asking a dumb question like Nibu!

I arrive at 11:45, with my 16 year old daughter in tow. We'll be here for a week and will be staying in SJO with a Costan Rican family. I figure that by the time I get through customs it will be nearly 1 AM, after a long flight from the US. By the time we get a taxi and arrive at our destination, it will be approaching 2 AM. Rather than have her meet her "host" family for the first time in the middle of the night, I thought we could go to a nearby hotel and see some of the sights in and around Alajuela in the morning, before heading to SJO. Makes a lot more sense now doesn't it?

Having been to CR several times before, I am anxious to sample some of the local chica hospitality but opportunities will be limited due to having my daughter with me. I am sure that I read on this forum (but have been unable to find it) that others have claimed that Alajuela has "down home" versions of SJO's massage parlors, where a guy might get more of a GFE. That's what I remember anyway. Your comments make sense and perhaps I will just have to do without. I wasn't sure how I was going to slip anyway. Thanks for the input.

[Prolijo]

I will be in CR in a few weeks. Since I arrive late at night I am planning on spending the first night in Alajuela. I remember reading in the forum that there are plenty of chicas available in Alajuela but I can't seem to find the names of any MP's or clubs. Any help would be appreciated.

Where did you read that? There may be some small seedy tico places that you could go to in Alajuela if you could find them but I'm guessing the talent at any of them would be [CodeWord140] poor. Most Alajuela working chicas commute to SJ to ply their trade for at least 2 reasons. In a "catholic" country, most small (relatively speaking) town chicas don't want to be seen by their family, friends and neighbors working as prostitutes. In San Jose, they are further away from the eyes of folks that might know them and being a much larger city are able to do what they do in greater anonymity. Secondly, its not that long a commute, 30 minutes by public bus.

However, there is at least one adult venue of note, D'Pelufo's, sister club of the D'Pelufo's in San Pedro. Reportedly the chicas there are of similar quality of the chicas at the San Pedro club, which is pretty club. But, if it is anything like the San Pedro club, there is no on-site f/s available just graphic lap dances and the possibility of getting the digits of one of the dancers for getting together elsewhere later.

Let me ask you a question. Just how late are you getting in? The public buses from SJO to downtown SJ run at least until 11 or 12 and cabs will run as late as there are flights. The cab ride that late at night shouldn't take much longer than 15 minutes. Are you saying you are in such a rush to get to your hotel you can't wait that much longer to get there? If you are getting in so late, wouldn't it also be too late to go out at all? If you stay in the Gulch, you could grab a 15minute cab, check into your hotel, drop your bags and walk to where you could pick up chicas within 30 minutes of exiting the airport, so I just don't see any advantage of staying out by the airport.

No offense, but this is the sort of ridiculous question that I'd expect from Nibu Raphael, who seems fixated on mongering opportunities in small and often obscure towns in a region where most commercial activity (and hence sex work as well) migrates to the nations' capitals or at least their major tourist cities. Sure you have a few exceptions like a few of the major tourist cities in Colombia or Brazil or, in the case of CR, Jaco, but just about everywhere else the small town local pro action will be limited to the few ugly local skanks serving the local native markets.

I am traveling to C.R. the first week in August, was thinking of doing the same. Checking out the MP first. Great minds think alike. Staying at the Morazan, lurking around the D.R. Wave we can have a beer together.

[Member #2964]

You can spend as proilio says $250 +/- or $100.00.

my 2 cents is take what you have read here and else where; spend a few hours if not a day looking into the MP's. Your best bet will be the DR or if you get lucky ZB or NF.

It takes time and leg work to get the real deals. The most I have paid is $50 a day plus expences and as little as $35. And that was last December -January.

Try to find a girl with no kids or a girl who still lives with her mother if the girl your interested in has children. She will have to pay the baby sitter $50 - $60 a week. Mother a little less.

$100 a day will get you any decent chica without argument or questions. Its the rainy season and the girls are hungry.

Whatever you decide always have the girl spend the night with you before the morning you leave for the trip and if she wants any money up front, forgetaboutit. Move on to chica #2 or #3.

As far as cell phone. Its her security blanket and when you want some time alone its a great thing for her to have to play with. I will not take a girl who does not have a cell phone for a trip. Its great to not only have a willing sexual companion but also one who carries and pays for a phone YOU can use any time during the trip to ck on taxi's, Hotels, flights, resturants, fishing trips, etc.

Im headed to CR in August, and want a female escort for three nites since I am traveling alone. I've read all the posting here, most cover the massage and bar scene which Im not interested in. I am interested in some concise advise on how to obtain a decent girl at a fair price to be my "girlfriend" for a few nites. My goal is to experience the sceneic beauty of CR, and have some female "companionship" while doing so. Any concise tips/advice would be helpful(any advice on scams/places to avoid is great too)

Thanks so much.

Regardless of what you mean by "decent", I see a few problems with your strategy.

1) Generally speaking, you'll pay a fairly hefty premium for any escort service that you might be able to book in advance. The one escort service in CR that generally gets decent reviews for quality of service and value is G&G (www.costaricaggescorts.com check your PMs for member access info). In the case of G&G, I believe the rate is something like $250/day (before a CRT discount) and they're probably one of the cheaper ones. Independently, you shouldn't have to pay much more than $200/day (unless she's a "super model") and you might even find a chica who would do it for as little as $100/day (ie just enough to offset the 1-2 other tricks/day she might otherwise have made) or perhaps even less if she wants to get out of the Gulch and go on a little vacation to nice hotels, restaurants, activities and whatever other sundries you might spend on her.

2) The "quality" in terms of looks will usually be no better and probably a little worse than the chicas you can find on your own. Some of the escort chicas may even be the very same chicas you'll find at the BM and other places only through an agency you'll be paying someone else an extra cut, though certainly many others will be "students" or other types of semi-pros who just don't want to be seen going into or otherwise associated with notorious hooker bars like the BM or KL.

3) You might or might not be able to get a final "right of refusal" with an escort service. Many escort services post fake pics (G&G doesn't). Sometimes they'll bring out a few of their chicas to meet you after you arrive so you can make your final selection or otherwise let you change your selection after you meet your first pick, but your subsequent selection will still be limited to their "stable" of girls and you may not be overwhelmed with any of them.

4) At best you may get to meet the chica someplace for a few drinks beforehand but, unless you sign on for their hourly rates first, you probably won't get to really "try her out" before you take off on your travels through the countryside. If you do that, you might want to negotiate the right to convert your session to a 24hr one at their 24hr rate w/o having to pay the ST rate as well. OTOH, if you approach it something like that, how is that any different than just shopping around after you get there except for the fact that you've pre-limited your market selection?

5) Even if you hit it off for an hour of passion back in your room or a half an hour of conversation over drinks, how well will you hit it off with her being with her 24/7 (or in your case 24/3)? For example, a lot of girls can go 30-60 minutes without cellphoning in to check on her ninos or novias, but you might find that attachment to the side of her head a bit wearing after not too long. Or, the first time you meet her at a bar she may be ready to go when you are, but getting her to show up or be ready for anything after that will probably be a whole other story (aka "tica time"). In short, "mongers never really pay for sex, we pay them to leave". Are you sure your really want to spend 24/7, excuse me 24/3, with a relatively uneducated bargirl? Maybe you will, but spending more than a few lousy minutes with her before you hit the road will greatly improve your odds that you'll continue to hit off over the next few days together. And if you're going to spend that sort of time "qualifying" your selection after you get there, why bother trying to book it in advance?

Some other suggestions:
1) Plan to spend some time in SJ at the beginning of your trip and save your countrywide exploration for the end.
2) There's plenty of countryside around SJ that you can visit in day trips returning to SJ in the evening where you can do your "chica shopping" for the rest of you trip.
3) Even with your slightly more specific description, what is "decent" or "fairly attractive" is still just in the eye of the beholder. However, given your situation, I'd add a criteria that you didn't even mention. Look for a chica without any kids if at all possible. In fact, if I were looking for a travelling companion that would be the very first question I'd ask them. In CR, chicas w/o kids may be fairly rare since they seem to start popping them out before they even reach legal age, but it will greatly improve your chances that your ST trial chica will be able to get out of town for a few days (or if she can get out of town any way, that she won't be calling to check on them every 2 seconds)
4) If you do take a chica on the road, be prepared to send them home early if it doesn't work out. She'll probably ask for the air, taxi or shuttle fare to get back but you can bet she'll really be taking the public bus for $5.
5) Consider destinations that don't require you bringing a chica with you such as Jaco Beach or, god forbid, going for a couple of days without any female companionship.

[FKK Newbie]

I mean decent looking, someone fairly attractive. I prefer the fairer-skinned, tall, slim types with a friendly attitude.

What you mean with a “decent girl”?
Any girl that goes with you for the money for sure is not decent.

Be more specific.

[Professor 1]

So thats about it. From what I have now read here I know that 1) I should be able to get a girl for cheaper than that, and 2) I may be more likely to have fun at Zona Blue or IDEM. From what I read the prices there are about $45 US, but I am wondering whether that includes the use of a room for the hour?

I am sorry to hear of this bad experience. You can get girls at HDR for less than US$100. It appears that you hired a true pro, who earned quite a sum of $$ for not much work.

Try to reduce the alcohol intake, and bargain prior to departing. It you pay full fare for P4P, and you did, you do not need to provide taxi money.

[Intension]

Thanks for the info. I generally spend hours reading any board before I post (different boards seem to have different cultures so its often good to get a "lay of the land" so to speak), I just never happened to come across that post of yours. Will search for it now.

Intension,

The Clarion has a real nice no-limit hold'em game with $1-2 blinds. They also sometimes spread a $2-5 no-limit game. I touched upon this in my July 4th post. Assuming you are new to this board, I strongly suggest spending a couple of hours perusing past posts on this forum. It could really be helpful.
