Posts: 57I've always preferred vibe and atmosphere of Sportsmen
I've never been to Castillo but I've always preferred the energy and atmosphere of Sportsmen Lodge. Sorry Mike Mark that you had that terrible experience, definitely not professional. Almost how I get when I get screwed over by a cellular service provider swear them offf then get had by the other cell carriers as well and soon there are no more viable ones to use their services. Love the bartenders there. Security is friendly. Seems like they are stricter with who they let in and don't based on prior bad or shady behavior with clients.
At least you still have Taormina. Taormina has the most Holiday Inn or budget hotel feel. I do prefer their rooms and cleanliness over Sportsmen but I like that SL has no guest fee and you have options of rooms with jacuzzis. At Taormia if you book for two be sure to remind the lady at reception so she doesn't charge you for the first lady you bring up to your room. I'm used to seeing many girls bounce around in taxis from one location to the next when they get no takers at one. I've walked from Tao uphill to Sportmen passing Castillo many times and also over to Del Rey at night. I've never felt too shaded out. A few beggars or trannies on their corner that a quick no Gracias or "no tengo nada disculpe" gets them to quiet up. And usually police presence at the park / square you cross going toward Del Rey. Not sure if that has changed since Tao became the main spot. I've been recently, a little less than a year ago and forgot to even check out the Jungle Bar. I stayed in main Casino and bar area on main floor. Even met some nice talent in the mornings and midday something less likely at Sportsmen.
Thats why I was hoping someone could confirm that Sportsmen still gets good action at night or on the weekend. Planning to split my time between both next trip if it's worth it.
Sportsmen though be careful what rooms you choose. Better in the mansion wing or the new wing. Some rooms look great but if they are around the bar or worse in the front by the entrance where security sits the noise and privacy gets a score of zero.
Mike Mark please do give some feedback on Tango India or Pension Monicas if you end up going like prices and experince if you can. Thanks!

So quite a bit of discussion about transportation from Airport to Jaco. My friend hooked me up with a Taxi driver taking people to the Airport from Jaco on Friday. Going to take me down for $75 USD which appears to be below the current norm of $100. But as he told me look for an Jaco taxi at the airport because the guy doesn't want to drive back empty.

Posts: 957Taormina?
Thanks for all the replies!
I think my philosophy is a little more like SWG. Its a vacation too. There are some cities, like Medellin or Panama City, that don't have too much going on. In Medellin, you can go on the Pablo Escobar tour, and if you are so inclined, go to a coffee farm. In Panama City, you can see the canal. But on the second trips and thereafter, its been there done that, and then its ALL about the punting. When that's the case, then one or two bad sessions will just put me in a mood. Just read the forums. People don't only post bad reports to warn other johns. They are also venting. Its best to minimize that.
However, there are some destinations, like the original Del Rey, and the Medellin Mansion back in the day, that were worth a trip all on their own. They were that good. Just wondering if Taormina has become that as HDR fell by the wayside.
But if it really is the same girls, just charging more, then I'll pay the premium for Jaco. Its not the best beach, but it is a beach. And there are other beaches nearby. And you can zipline and hike. And its shooting fish in a barrel, which quite frankly, I like. Cruising the heart of the city and all its dark corners is, in my opinion, sometimes overrated. Besides, I have found that if you go during the weekdays, you can squeak by with 120-150. On Sat night, forget it.
Man, back in the day, Campo Alegre was THE BEST.

Posts: 957Taormina worth a trip?
Hey fellas!
Planning a short getaway to CR, was planning for 3-4 days in Jaco. Been to Cocal several times and love it. I also remember the days when the Del Rey was running hot. That was great, but I hear it has since closed down. I once stopped by the Sportsmen's Lodge back in the day and was not impressed. And I heard its only gotten worse.
But now in preparation for my upcoming trip, I read about people's reports about the Taormina. It sounds promising, but I don't know how much is fluff. Been trying to decide whether its worth spending one of those 4 days in San Jose for the Taormina. It would be a late Saturday night arrival, then take the bus to Jaco on Monday morning. The advantage of the Taormina seems to be the lower prices. Jaco on a Sat night runs $200 session. I here that SJ is $100-150.
I have been looking to try something new. Alot of the destinations from days gone by are drying up. I have frequented Jaco because, of the places close to the US, its the most convenient.
For those experienced at both places, is the Taormina worth it? Or should I just go straight to Jaco?
Thanks in advance!

Daytime I've only tried Pension Monicas and have had real nice experiences. BBBJ for slight upcharge like 10 k and deep DFK (deepfrenchkissing) included, base price must have changed since I've went. But remember it being reasonable. Walls are thin room is quite small. Some girls prefer to talk in low voice about extras.
I wonder if Taormina is the only main spot now. Has Sportsmen gotten busy on the weekends or evenings again and is it even worth staying there. I enjoy the sportsbar, food, pool table and no charge for bringing girls back to room. Does anyone know if its picked up and benefited from Del Rey changing its business model.
Castillo I think I pass all the time walking from one to the other but I've never stepped inside to see the action or lack there of. Thanks for any feedback and info why'all.
