San Jose General Reports

[Huacho]

Will be there tomorrow. If you have places you want a report on let me know. It will give me a place to start. Have not been here for 5 years.

Please start by finding out if the Del Rey has actually re-opened.

Any idea what the skokka chicas are charging?

After I posted the last response I took a look. And most do not post prices. Lots that post there are working out of massage places / pensiones, so the typical pricing for those places would apply (15 - 25 mil for 30 min, more with extras.) Look at Wilas to see more ads with pricing. They seem to range from 20 to 60 mil per date / hour generally.

They usually have the prices on their ads, right?

Appreciate it Zeos! I knew Del Rey was closed but used that as a way to saying these chicks all come out at night. I had no idea they're all around these other spots during the day. Good to know! I also came across this site that you guys likely know about. Independent escorts post their ad here.

For all intents and purposes a pension is a massage parlor. Seldom do they serve alcohol (but a couple have small bars setup).

When they use the term pension it means they have rooms, sort of like a small hotel. Their license is based on that, and the girls on site rent the rooms to do their business. So in reality you are paying the chica who then pays part of that for the room, and she keeps the rest. So the chicas are independent. But, in return for using the place the pension has the right to suggest their working hours and the range of what they charge. So in effect it functions like a brothel. Some also advertise as massage places, which are really no different.

So a 'pension' is a type of license that is no longer being issued, that allows bars to have rooms for sex on the premises. But most of them aren't really bars for hanging out, but are more like apartments with chicas working out of them. An example would be Monica's, while an exception is Bar Malibu, which is an actual bar with some stray hookers in it, and has a 'pension' license.

Will be traveling to Costa Rica very soon. Why are some bars listed as "pension?" What does it mean?

Just wanting to know how is Del ray, now that it's open? Is the 4th floor of Taormina still open? And is the place a ghost town at 12 ? Or, if proof of vaccination allows the places to stay open later? Thanks.

San Jose is *hot*. All the chicks run around with low cut tops or short shorts, and they're all big breasted and big-assed. The scene is really "punk rock". I didn't much go outside at night, but during the daytime enough action for me.

If you're coming here, Google Maps search for "Pension" and you'll see two places, Pension Monica's and Pension Relax. Both were recommended, I had all good experiences. Prices were 15000 - 20000 for sex, blowjob in addition anywhere between 6000 and 10000. Pension Monica's had enough decent girls in their mid 20's, they are open between 9-5.

Enjoy.

Well fellow mongers. I just called a few minutes ago. And it is officially open for business. He said it will be the same but better. I don't know if it is true about that. But, it is open.

It might happen. Or might happen sometime. But the HDR fans will be up in arms at $119 plus tax plus $20 chica fee.

Will be interesting. And I can't believe they (the authorities) are letting it reopen. Maybe someone did a real survey of the financial impact, not the tourist one they do continually.

I did find a website saying opening tomorrow, but number they give to call says }"card balance to low not available " weird if supposedly opening tomorrow, this Will be interesting.

Very nice! I will be on town first week of March for some work. I only stayed at the Taormina once and that a was when they had just first opened, a long time ago.

Verified on their website. My source tells me the cheapest room rate is $119 plus tax; chica fee is $20.

I arrive at the Taormina on 2/10, so I'll take a walk over there next weekend for a closer look. I doubt I'll go back to the HDR for a while. I'm more than happy with the Taormina at this point.
