Joey Smith.

I think you got me confused with Mr Gogo. I LIKE the San Jose scene!

Apologies. Stay horny my friend!

[Mr Jetsetter]

I respect your post and you seem like a seasoned traveler. But after the places you've been and the relationships you have made, if you somehow can find yourself in Del Rey to hang out impresses me.

Uh, I guess you missed my point about the Del Rey. I stated that "I avoid the Del Rey almost entirely, other than to occasionally grab a beer and 'people watch. '" I don't like the vibe there.

I do have a couple of friends who live in San Jose and frequently "shop" there, with great success, generally paying in the $40-50 range (no BS) for ST. Some guys love it there, and I don't begrudge their feelings. It isn't for everybody. It just seems a lot of people make sweeping judgements on the CR mongering scene based on their experiences at this one venue.

I notice you've been to Medellin. Making my first trip there this October and am just starting to do my homework. I freely admit I know a few CR vets who have fallen in love with Medellin and rarely make it back to San Jose. This might even happen to me!

[Mr Gogo]

Just got back from my second trip to LOS. 9 days in Pattaya and 5 in Bangkok. Had a really great time. Yet I'm still very much looking forward to my upcoming trip to CR, my 13th, I think, since 2005. Having paid my dues with some mistakes made in my first couple of trips and having developed a number of lasting friendships with both chicas and fellow mongers, I consistently have a great time every trip. I don't waste my time dealing with "hard core, clock watching chicas," and I NEVER pay cien. In fact, I avoid the Del Rey almost entirely, other than to occasionally grab a beer and "people watch." The great majority of the ladies I've dallied with have been super friendly and quite attractive. I've met them by hanging out at the Sportsmens Lodge, Bar Idem, HLH, other lesser known MPs, and via introductions from friends of mine.

My point is that even a veteran monger can have a great time in San Jose, without wasting his time and money. Is it comparable to Medellin or LOS? Not hardly. But it is definitely a viable mongering destination, particularly if one does his homework by spending time researching this board and others (particularly, CRT) and seeking advice, via PMs, from veterans of the CR scene.

My heartfelt two cents! And I'm sorry if anyone thinks I am misleading them!

Certainly don't agree with your assessment of action in CR. Its always been a Giant size Candy store with rewards and benefits for those who mine the gold nuggets that are in HDR, KL, SL and other places.

[Mr Jetsetter]

Good post, and your on point. After my initial visit two months ago I'm seriously pissed at guys missleading us. Hell, the chicas are more honest than us. They are orgainized and want 100usd per hour and get it.

If you want hard core, clock watching chicas with a boys club enviorment then CR is for you. I don't want to flame but members need honesty. I wasted time and money on this bullshit ass place, because my wingman liked it. He cool, but it wasnt what I thought. The chicas are overated, and over priced. The natives are nice. The food is average. And the Del Ray is bullshit hustling chicas. Now put this in your report of distinction so people understand not to waste their time or money. Or continue with the illusion, I don't care, but for those who do be warned.

Costa Rica is no place for point-and-shoot mongering. Not even in the MPs if you want to have something non-mechanical. You need to talk to them for a while and feel them out. It's pretty easy to see within a couple minutes if they're interested or not.

[Mr Gogo]

Since this is your first trip I think the last thing you should do is take a girl to the beach. If you want chicas at the beach you need to go to Jaco for a sure thing. The beach itself in Jaco sucks. It's not fun for swimming, the sand is black and rocky, there are strong currents, and it's attached to the skuzz hole city of Jaco. You can easily take a taxi, bus or find a van ride to Herradura or Hermosa the towns next to Jaco. They are cleaner, close and less populated.

Jaco has the Beatle Bar and Monkey Bar and you can talk to chicas outside, you'll see them at the supers or sodas before or after working. You can tell who they are by their clothing and are usually in groups of 2 or 3.

The previous report is right, Beatle Bar is more cut-throat than Del Rey. Those chicks land careless idiots on most days who over pay. Some of those guys will not even think about forking over 300 dollars. Chicas will all ask 100 for short time, most will go for 80, just hold your ground. It's a fun place, a lot of people hate it, but like anywhere it is what you make it. If you let street riff raff and hardcore chicas get to you, it's not a place for you. They will all go away if you say no though. Find yourself a condo to use versus a hotel. Usually they are cheaper and have everything you would want yet besides a free breakfast.

A nice beach with some avaliable chicas is Playas de Cocos. Of course, there is not close to the scale that you would find in Jaco, but on several of the clubs on the main drag there are certainly single, alone chicas that are more than avalaible. Not a place to go for major mongering, but if you want a nice beach experince, a classy town with good food, and have the options of pulling a chica, it has some appeal.

I am coming to Costa Rica for the first time on April 1st and was supposed to leave early on April 5th but due to some international flight cancellation, I will have to stay an additional 48 hours and I am really worried that I will get bored.

I've decided to stay at HDR to make things easy but don't know if I can take staying there this long.

Can anyone recommend a safe Beach place where I can stay for a couple of nights and do I have to take a girl from San Jose? Otherwise please recommend some local talent or mongering places.

IMHO jaco is a dirty hole of an experience. The beatle bar is fun but even more cutthroat than the dr chicas.

Manuel antonio is a real beach. A clean beach and if you venture outside of the dr you might hit it off enough with someone to consider taking them with. Lots of restaurants and the sunsets are not to be missed.

Just be careful there since two days can get very long with the wrong person.

[JayHighFive]

Hi is right. Try these places at Jaco beach. They also have drives at the Del Rey who can take you there. About 1. 5 hours away.

Jay.

Try Jaco Beach for your 2 day layover. There are P4P gals there. Check out the Beatle Bar. Like a mini Hotel Del Rey. Local bus from SJ to Jaco is safe and cheap. But watch your belongings. Several good hotels in Jaco, with cheap taxi's and good restaurants.

Best beach is Manual Antonio near the town of Quepos. But the P4P action there is somewhat slow. . But there are some local gals that hangout in the bars in Quepos.

And it is a great place to go to the beach (next to the national park) hangout, eat some good seafood, swim, etc. Again you can take the local bus there or you can get Grey Line or Interbus. Private small mini vans with AC and hotel pickup. You will need prior reservations for the mini vans though.

Have fun.
