San Jose General Reports

[HotelAl]

Airbnb all day in my opinion. On my last trip just before Covid. I stayed in CR for a week. I booked an Airbnb in both San Jose and Jaco. Both were very inexpensive (less than $45 a night) and the SJ place was in a really nice high rise condo. In both places I had zero issues brining girls back. Although I did get awkward smirks fork the guard at the condo! Hope this helps. Planning to go back soon. Wouldn't mind meeting a fellow monger. After years of going at this hobby solo. I'm comfortable enough to seek some hobby bros to navigate these destinations with.

Jay1307 which airbnb did you use? Am interested in trying one on my next trip.

[Mongo1]

Yep agree, I did one in Jaco for 5 nights which was a 10 minute stroll to the Cocal. If my memory serves me right it was closer to $90 per night for a 1 bedroom. But yeah, I have had my share of elevator / busboys give me the look before. It's the all knowing, I know what your up to look LOL.

Thanks, for the information. I have a few more questions, if you don't mind. Would you recommend staying at an airbnb? Or is it better just to stay at cocal, or the Vista Mar condo's? And is there a fee to enter cocal or Vista? P. s is there any place to get food, or order food after the curfew? Thanks.

Hey everyone,

Just adding a recent report as I'm currently in San Jose (but will be leaving soon).

SA has been my best bet so far. Granted I want to say I'm an above average looking male so that was in my favor. I've had 2 different girls stay overnight each for about $150 each. Had 3 pops with one, 2 with the other. However because Costa Rica is apparently one of the more expensive Latin American countries, this seems to get to the girl's heads and egos thinking that they can demand more.

I went to Monica's which is a daytime spot. Wasn't too impressed. Maybe 4-6 girls in there ranging from 3-4's to your average has been. I left and went to Sportsman Lodge. It has a big airy space that allows you to walk around and has various tables for seating. One of the bartenders are attractive (7), but that's where the fun ends. Most of the girls in there were just not up to my minimum standards and I quickly left after a beer.

From there I ventured into Taormina for 2 nights. If you don't have a room there, you can book one for an hour for $40 USD which is a bit steep IMO. The girls here are slightly more attractive averaging like a 6. However on my second evening there when I was about to give up all hope I met this pretty attractive Venezuelan girl (8) and we sparked up a conversation. Very basic English and we used a translator which wasn't an issue. She asked for $150 at first and I said no way. I think told her thank you and was going to leave but talked her down to $100. She was fun, but a bit feisty. In the end I got her WhatsApp but don't believe I'm coming back to Costa Rica anytime soon. Perhaps I might check out Jaco next time I'm back but I think South America (Colombia / Brazil) is calling me back home.

I just booked my 14 day trip to Costa Rica and will be arriving in San Jose on July 10th. I went ahead and booked the first 4 nights at the Sportsmen to get myself into the groove and also plan whatever other places to venture to. I was thinking about going down to Jaco for 4 nights at the Cocal. Any ideas on best way to get there? Last time I took the bus which was very affordable but a bit of a pain since the bus station is pretty far from the Cocal. Not only that but the bus ride was a little frightening LOL. If anyone is going to be in town and want to hang out and have some drinks and chase tail let me know.

In May I used costaricashuttle and it was about $100 each way from Airport to Jaco and driver was just outside of exit, I stayed at Castillo in SJ and if you stay 4 or more nights they offer free ride to airport and credit 50% of the cost off of your COVID test for departure (done in house) from your bill and have an all inclusive option for just $10 more a night and had a sign offering shuttles to Jaco but didn't ask price. Being only a block and a half away from Sportsman (but most nights Sportsman had better talent but often inline outside trying to get in so easy to sweep of to the Castillo).

Hi, friends. Sorry if this has been discussed before (I did do a quick search). I am looking for a reliable STD clinic in San Jose where I can get tested for STD's and receive treatments and prescriptions if needed. Preferably private clinic where english is spoken. Money is not an issue. Thanks in advance for any info.

Not sure what your plan is? Bareback in Costa Rica is rare. Maybe you are planning to have you and the girl tested and do bareback.

I think your best bet is hospitals.

[Mongo1]

Thanks for the advice, $125 is a little steep unless it included 1 hour GFE in my new room at the Cocal. Thanks for the Uber idea, I think $60 would be doable just for the simplicity of not taking 2 taxis and bus ride.

When I Uber around SJ I'll run it by the driver.

I know a girl who used to provide drives from San Jose to Jaco it was $125 but this was as of pre covid. She is legit car ride provider only. As far as I know. Nice car but that rate may be a bit expensive and again this info is all pre covid.

Otherwise you can take an uber and ask the driver what his rate is. I had a driver turn off the uber and just charge a flat $60 to Jaco from Belen in the airport area. This was is January so very recent. Guy was happy to do it. I asked the rate in Spanish with my novia and he quoted. Did not try to further bargain.

Actually though. If you are going to have more than a week and are adventurous rent a car. 4 x4 will probably be under $500 for the trip. Not too bad.

The drive to Jaco is super easy and safe as long as you are a good defensive driver. LOL.

I have rented a car and driven to every part of the country and obeyed all traffic laws and just cruised and never had a problem.

Hi,

I am sorry to hear about your problem. But, if you had it before, and know what it is. The pharmacies in San Jose do not require prescriptions. But, if it is your first time. Then, going to the doctor would be your best bet. Good luck.

[Crusader560]

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your problem. But, you can walk into any pharmacy and get some antibiotics to clear it up. No prescription needed, If you know what it is. But, if not. It is better to see a doctor. Good luck.

I will miss the Del Rey, loved sitting around that place partying and watching all the bootie walking by. I had some fine pussy while staying there and only 1 rip off. But yeah Medellin is the bomb for mongering, inexpensive beautiful Paisas who have never heard the word clock watching, hell lots of the time they are still there in the morning. I want to go back but think I'm going to go Costa Rica this round due to Covid and the political unrest going on in Colombia.

Was one of the best set ups back in the day, wow I'm showing my age I'm talking 35 yrs ago it was truly amazing city and set up in that whole area!

Medellin is alive and well, and 1/2 the price of way overrated costa! Being you been already try Medellin if you haven't already! Have fun, but del ray back in the day was lots and lots of good times, like being in the wild Wild West a group of us used to say! Very sad.
