San Jose General Reports

[Vern2020]

I was in San Jose the weekend of New Year's Eve, and then the next weekend before flying home. I sandwiched the week in between in Jaco, but I have no report for Jaco since I was with my family at that time. Made it into San Jose Thursday around noon. Sportsmen's let me check in early, which was nice. Set out by walking around San Jose. I went over to Pension Erotica, which is located off a tiny park at Calle 11 and Av. 14. When I was in San Jose four years ago, I nearly fell in love with a girl there. Needless to say, she was not working there anymore. They had only one girl and she was busy. Ducked my head into Pension Corte nearby. Only 2 girls, none was do-able. Went over to Monica's. Monica's was solid. 6-8 girls working, and a few good choices. In the few times I went over there, I saw the cutie pictured below most of the time. The other time I was there I saw a great Venezolana, but I don't have a picture of her. I poked my head in a few of the other pensions, but most were not that good. I did find a gem at Malibu, however. I think she was brand new to the job-- very shy. I really enjoyed my time with her on a couple of occasions. New Years Day before heading out to Jaco I went to Monica's, but they were closed. Right across the street is Pension Erotica 2, and I had an amazing time there. Really lucked out. They only cost 12,000 colones for a half hour, but they didn't have a shower. Sportsmen's was good. They upgraded the beds since I was there 4 years ago. Fewer girls than 4 years ago, but I was happy. See pic below of the 2 girls I did a 3-way with on New Years eve. For the second weekend, I stayed at Taormina. Room was not as nice as Sportsmen's. Most of the electrical outlets didn't work. I didn't like that they charged $10 to bring a girl up, even though I had a reservation for 2. More girls to choose from, though. However, the place has a little bit of a reputation that girls will try to scam you. Sure enough, one of the two girls I saw there tried to pull something. I nipped it in the bud early, and went ahead and fucked her rather than make a scene. She was absolutely gorgeous and her name was Karla, if you happen to run into her watch out. I ate at a gourmet restaurant right across the street from Taormina called Silvestri or something like that. It was amazing. All in all, not as jumping as when I was there 4 years ago, but I would say that Costa Rica is still a good mongering destination. I had another great time, and I look forward to going back again.

Try this hotel: I had no problem bring a chica in. They have a pool also.

The Santo Tomas is a nice little hotel. The little pool area is nice for relaxing and is really the only pool in the gulch area. They also have a nice outdoor gym by the pool. Their guest policy has bee inconsistent in the past so I would verify by email before making your reservation. The neighborhood can be a bit sketchy after dark so plan on taxis or ubers to get around. This is a popular area for transgendered street walkers. Hotel Little Havana is a short walk down the hill and the Taormina is just about one block further.

Across the street you will find Bar Poas. It is a hangout for old expats and Ticos. Some women, mostly past their sell by date hang out there. You can find the occasional gem there but it is rare. They have decent food at a reasonable price and drink prices are decent. Next door to Poas is a very good, inexpensive Colombian restaurant. It isn't open very late but a good spot for lunch or an early dinner.

If you are picky with hotels, meaning you want something better than the Taormina or Sportsmen, you will not be able to bring guests in. Or you will, but with a high fee.

Del Rey web site is back up and I think they are taking reservations soon.

Looks like I'll be in SJ in a few weeks. I'm a bit picky with hotels, and have no interest in staying at the Taormina or Sportsmen. My question is this: Can I bring girls back to my own hotel via Uber from the bars at these two establishments? Or can they only stay with hotel guests?

Thanks, and I'll post reports from SJ and Jaco.

The other part of the question. Yes, the girls can leave those places and go to your place if they agree to that. They are totally independent of the establishments they work in.

You may have two problems with this plan. First, getting into the SL or Taormina. Getting into the SL should be easier because they are checking for vax status so they can operate at 100% capacity. Taormina isn't so you may get turned away due to capacity issues. However, you'll probably get in.

The second issue is that most hotels in SJ are decidedly girl-unfriendly. If she's dressed inconspicuously (which she probably isn't if you've picked her up at the SL or Taormina), if you're quiet and nonchalant, if you don't have a parade of chicas going to your room all day, if the hotel has a bar you can go to first so that it's not so obvious, then you should be able to get her past the desk without getting hassled. Be prepared for it, though.

What drives the sentiment that "CR is a shadow of its former self" is that just a few years ago (5) the same type of hot girls that are asking and getting $200 today were asking and getting $80-$100. Sure there are plenty of hot chicas, but it ain't the bargain it used to be.

Well, inflation. $150-$200 is absolutely gone in the USA. $600 -$800 an hour is the norm, guaranteed, look on Eros.com its in black and white. An hour, they time it, and your sitting in a hotel room. So $150 for an evening walking around town, the beach, then back to the room is a bargain. An absolute 100% A++ bargain.

To be clear; the girls asking $200 are in Jaco. The girls in SJO will start at $100; but it's all in the negotiations.

If you are in a resort any such guests will be most unwelcome and they will not be allowed in.

Thank you for the heads up, anything within a cab ride for service providers?

[Zeos1]

Sry I'll be at the Planet Hollywood All-Inclusive Resort, Papagayo down on the coast and appears to be removed from all of the hot spots.

If I can't pickup a local girl, or staff I might pass on the trip. Please tell me there are some options within a cab ride or service that will send entertainment that the staff will turn a blind eye to.

Going on a trip early spring, would having a companion return to that property with me, or visit be allowed? Also any red light areas nearby?

Thanks all!

Jaco has a great club at the north end of the strip called G-Spot, was there in early December, plenty of action. Pick your dancer, there are VIP rooms upstairs where you can get all the extras at 200.

I fail to see what all this "shadow of its former self" is all about. I was just there in early December, 2 days in San Jose and the rest of the week in Jaco, had the time of my life. San Jose gringo area is not really a walking around type place, so 2 nights at sportsmans was fine. I had 4 gals in 2 nights, loved every one of them. I typically go for one a night, but the hot girls were there just sitting and waiting, so couldn't resist.

Jaco is much better cause its a beach town, and everything is all out in the open, you walk down the main strip and see all the clubs and massage parlors. Easy to go bar hopping with a wingman, all the clubs are back open. When I was there, there were lines (all girls! Guys go in right away) in front of Cocal (as always), LE Loft, and Orange pub. G-spot was a quick cab ride but worth it.

Maybe the previous posters hit Costa Rica post pandemic. To me the place has fully recovered, and since its "high season", the time to go is now.

There really are no strip clubs in San Jose; certainly not with Covid. The one's they did have were for the locals and weren't always in the best areas. Jaco has a "gentleman's club" on the main strip, not sure if its open or not. There are several decent massage parlors in SJO; as well as the hotels you mention. Safe travels!

I will be at the Taormina in a couple weeks and will provide an update on my travels.
