San Jose General Reports

[Crusader560]

Last weekend. Went to Taormina, and Del ray. The talent was better at Taormina. But, when I didn't see something I wanted at one I went to the other. I wish I had more time, because I didn't get to hit the pension. Every now and then you can find a diamond. Del ray still doesn't have the casino open. I heard it might be political. It would be ashamed if we lose Del Rey. Competition is good for our hobby. The downstairs in Taormina is really nice. P.S. I suck at poker, LOL.

Taormina is the best place in these times for finding entertainment, but they do charge guest fees. Ask them directly for prices but there is a short time and overnight fee per guest. Sportsmens, Castillo, and Havana do not have these extra fees. All of these places are a sober walk or drunk uber away from Taormina. Taormina has good breakfast that is included I believe, but again check with them directly.

Book hotel and pay the extra fee for the girl if needed but safety will be taken care of.

Simplest. Just book a room in a guest friendly hotel. Lots of discussions in this forum about the Sportsmens, Castillo, and Taormina.

But I guess I'd rather book a hotel for safety's sake and not worry about my valuables.

Hey guys, would really appreciate your thoughts on safety bringing non-pros to your Airbnb. I mean how is it compared to Medillin? Is scoping common here? I was thinking it may be better to just book a room in a hotel and leave all valuables at the Aribnb a safer option, no?

Really appreciate any help.

The problem with violating the after 10 pm rule is that the host can and some do, give you the boot for violating the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. And this would be without any refund for your unused nights. I personally wouldn't risk it unless I was sure the security guard would turn a blind eye. As the previous pster said, you might be better off in on of the guest friendly hotels in the area. Or just plan your day around early encounters that end by 10 pm.

[Zeos1]

Thanks very much, Zeos1! Truly appreciate it. The rules say no guests after 10 pm So may be I can get away if I bring in someone before that time? I am staying here for a month so there should be some leeway, right? Can I give some gifts to the security guys? Will that make them turn a blind eye.

If they refer to guests and say none after 10 pm that is a good thing. At least they are ok with those before. I would not try to bribe the security guys. But there may be leeway if you had someone arrive before and leave a bit after 10. If the security gave you a hard time you could apologize and give them a bit for the trouble. That would probably work. Keep your valuables out of sight, and don't let the chica out of your sight. And your valuables will likely be fine.

First, is your Airbnb ok with bringing in guests. Most are not. Second, if she will do that the pro / non-pro label is meaningless.

And as far as I know scoping is not common in Costa Rica, but there have been working girls that have turned out to be multiple murderers. So there is no certainty. A hotel room, if you find a hotel that allows guests, is probably a great option as the hotels will require that the guest to at least show their ID (cedula) and will often keep it at the desk until she leaves.

Pension Monica's. As people say, decent deal.

Pension 360 - room was a bit hot but nice that they had furniture besides bed, like one of those S-shaped chairs.

Hotel Del Rey Bar. I saw a few better looking women, but a lot of them don't seem better than the ones in the pensiones, but they are asking 2-3 x as much. I guess some people like the experience of finding girls right in their hotel, or chatting at the bar first, so they pay the extra.

I met one girl at one of the hotel bars, but I wasn't staying there, so we went to this cheap hourly hotel nearby that she knew. It wasn't pretty, but it worked.

One negative about some pensiones is that they are on crappy streets. Literally. It doesn't help my mood to step by human feces on the road on the way there.

Beavis, thanks for the memories! That's the Park Hotel Bar I remember from about 20 years ago!

I have made 25 trips to Costa Rica. 17 of them I stayed at the Park Hotel. First Don was the owner, then Bill and Bill bought it together, then Bill bought out the other Bill. Last time I was there it had been torn down and a department store built there. I was there when they found about a 10 foot Boa Constrictor inside one of the walls of the patio. I have some more pictures of Bill somewhere but no idea where.

[Novio]

The first time he ever did that was for my birthday party. Gave bottles of oil to everyone that wanted to get involved. Not sure if Bill is around or not. Last time I was there was 2012.

Bill would "close" the bar on Friday and Saturday night for the show. All the girls on the bar and a free for all. Was the best of times. Park was my favorite bar back in the day. Last time I was in SJ, Bill was still alive but in poor health. Does anyone know if he is still around?

Snook.

I used to see him at the Castillo before the remodel but that's been a while. I'm sure one of the guys there the, M or the would know.

Gentlemen,

I will be mongering for the first time when I visit San Jose. I wanted to get a full GFE for whole day. Any recommendations? I plan to do some touristy things and grab food outside hotels so wanted some company when I travel. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you are staying in a Hotel like Taormina or Sportsmen Lodge depends how many days you have. Hopefully your their Thursday through the weekend to have more to pick from. If not you still might get lucky finding a gem Sun to Wed at those Hotels. Taormina will be busier than Sportsmen and not sure if Del Rey reopened. You can screen your girls the first day or two sport fuc*ing just make sure you keep your valuables in the Safe. And like always never leave your open drinks out unattended. Or smoke or take their stash of substances. Don't get too wasted and be extra vigilant when you have two girls in the room at same time. Once you find your girl ID take taxis to and from museums or restaurants. Ask the place or restaurant and they can hail you a red cab to get back to hotel or next destination. Like other members stated lots can go wrong walking the streets of San Jose with a girl you barely know so I wouldn't go that route Any Pro would be stoked to give you a day rate and GFE. Expect 300 to 500 for a daily rate if you are covering meals and entrance to activities. Try to negotiate for unlimited sex in the day or at least 3 times in the day. Novillo Alegre or Esquina de Buenos Aires are great for a nice steak dinner. Expect comparable pricing to a US steak house. Also Expect the day to end by nightfall unless you line up multiple days in a row. All girls love trips to Jaco Beach as well. Just stay at a well known hotel like Crocs, Cocal, or Villa Caletas. Some don't like to bring sand to the beach but if you vibe well with a girl from San Jose and like the service its not a bad idea because prices rise considerably once you're in Jaco meeting chicas. Speaking Spanish helps to receive more of a girlfriend experience Have fun. Be safe!!
