San Jose General Reports

[Manny51]

Hi guys!

Considering a last second trip to CR this weekend. Haven't been there in about 5 years, and although I have been to Domenical and Manual Antonio, never to Jaco. Since I like to surf, normally I would go to Jaco, but the weather report is for severe thunderstorms all week. Not sure its worth hauling my ass down there if I will be indoors the whole time anyway.

So if its just punting, and few outdoor extracurriculars, which reigns supreme and why? I guess its slow / rainy season now. For guys in CR now, what are the going rates at HDR and Cocal? Chica quality?

Thanks!

Hi,

I will be coming to Costa Rica in July, and spending one night at airport Holiday Inn Express before leaving early the next morning on a short flight to one of the national parks, where I'll hike for a week. After that I am heading back up to San Jose for a few nights, staying in one of the chica friendly hotels that I have learned about thanks to this forum. My question is this. I picked the Holiday Inn Express because my priority that first night is to not mess up my early departure the next morning. BUT. I'm curious if there any good chica pick-up spots right there. The casino next door? I wouldn't mind getting a little recreation in before I head down to the jungle, but I'd rather not head into the city until I get back. Advice?

Vrubel, even if you do pick up a lady say at the Fiesta Casino next door, the Holiday Inn won't let you take her to your room. All the p4 p action is 20 minutes south in the Gringo Gulch area of San Jose. I personally would not worry about an early morning flight as transport from San Jose to the airport is on 20 minutes in the early morning. I pick up guys all the time at 3 - 4 am For those early flights.

Thanks for the info. Are there any hotels in Escazu that you know of that are both chica friendly and reasonably civilized? The person handling the booking of this trip for me is a female so I think she is purposely placing me out of San Jose center. And the gringo gulch.

The only one I know of is the Holiday Inn Escazu. I had a client who stayed there by mistake one time. It however did have a $50 guest fee. Tell your lady who is doing the booking that you want to stay at the new Taormini in San Jose. She won't know anything about that hotel. Like I always say, "if you don't know your country, better know your tour company. ".

No, it is not unless you register the guest before your arrival.

Does anyone know if the Marriott in Escazu is chica friendly?

If not I am looking for a recommendation of a nice western style hotel in Escazu. Work is paying the tab so money is not an issue. It just has to be a quality hotel that allows guests.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.
