San Jose General Reports

[Johnny Sax]

Even a veteran monger who lives here can make a bad judgment call on occasion, and I am man enough to admit I did that recently.

It IS harder when you are going for "amateur types" and most of the time I have a great time with amateur girls, but on rare occasion I misread them. They're harder to read.

So with that I WARN YOU to watch out for this girl:

She goes by Jennifer, and she looks to be about 20 or younger. Super cute! That's how I got roped in.

Her real name is Rebecca are (I took a photo of her ID when I reported her as being a con artist to the hotel).

She has a Tazmanian Devil tattoo on her shoulder and a "petrroushka" (Russian symbol for "mom" on her leg. Ask her what it is and she'll tell you.

Kinda petite and super cute as I said. Her hair was brown but if she's smart she'll change her name and hair color. But I doubt she'll change her tattoo, she may just cover it up with sleeves. Ask any girl you're interested in, who fits this description, to show you her tattoos.

What she does is get you to agree to take her to your room, for, say 40 or 50 mil, and once there she tries to tell you that you are paying only for a massage and sex will cost more. She actually gets away with this crap, apparently! But not with me!

I kicked her ass out of my room and reported her to the hotel and they said they'd ban her, but who knows? That was the Taormina.

I spent an hour talking with her at the DR and was convinced she was a good service provider but yeah, I misjudged this one big time! It happens. Rarely but it happens.

So if you see this girl with a Tazmanian Devil cartoon tattoo on her shoulder, tell her to eff off, that you heard she's an "engañadora", (cheater) and if you see a male friend with her, warn him she's a con artist.

I told her in no uncertain terms that she's playing with fire and some horny guy is liable to beat the shit out of her some day for trying to rip him off. I told her to look for another job because she won't last at this one and is liable to get hurt.

I told the hotel the same, that she is trouble waiting to happen and so they should ban her. They said they would.

Sorry, but this is just silly. The same debate, cien or no cien, was live and raging in 2003. Never pay cien. Never pay cien. It might have had some value back then; that is usually what a TLN / LT c, aost. That was 15 year ago. 15 years.

Check out the inflation figures during that time (here is a chart that shows the ten year rate, you can see that it was almost 20% in 2008 alone https://tradingeconomics.com/costa-rica/inflation-cpi).

See what a price of a meal actually costs, not to mention rent and other expenses for the chicas. And cien is not the issue, for me. It is what you Get for the $100. If you have well honed negotiating skills, good selection criteria, and a bit of patience playing the game, you can increases in time / number of sessions instead of a small decrease in price. I would far rather pay 20 or 40 dollars more for a 3 or 4 hour, full GFE session than the lower amount with one pop.

If you know your business yes you can pay cien for more than an hour and I have no problem with that.

What I and other mongers have a problem with are amateurs who go in offering cien. Or more! - to every girl.

First of all no one should be negotiating in dollars! The dollar is worth 603 colones right now which means $100 is worth 60 mil colones!

So I offer and get girls for 40 mil which is generally speaking my top price. So 60 mil is 50% more than anyone should pay for just a room visit (an hour or two).

If you are negotiating for 3-5 hours that's a whole other ball game, and yes, GFE for that time is okay for cien. But for just an hour, cien is ridiculous!

And like I say, no one should negotiate in dollars, that's a newbie mistake.

Today, I visited Monica's. Its regarded as the best place. Owner remembered me from 4 years ago.

Arrived at 1000 am. 14 chicas. Average with tattoos. No smiling. Finally selected a newly arrived cute spinner named Daisy. Good attitude. Decent GFE. Licking balls was extra. 20 mil for one hour is great value. Nice ass. Great cowgirl performer.

Later numbered to HDR. There is a government worker strike. The government is trying to reduce pension benefits. Get this -- they are still getting PAID. They block traffic. My uber ride from the Sportsmen got jacked up to 3600 colons. The ride back was under 1000.

The chicas at hdr are too aggressive and hardened pros. Decent but not enough to get you to spend money. They all start at 100 and quickly drop to 80. There was a girl from Denmark seeking 300 us per hour.

Returned to SL. Younger and hotter chicas with nicer vibes. Accumulating numbers from young hotties. It's tough to pay their prices with Monica's around.

BTW some American amigo told me Alcazar strip club was incredible on a Tuesday.

I've been by Monicas 4 times. Every time I have checked it out it's got nothing but unattractive fat or ugly chicks there. Maybe I'm just unlucky? I doubt it. 4 times?! Never been there after midnight nor will I be: that's a dangerous area! And little police presence!

SL: Safe, at least. But in all my years of stopping by there I've never once found a girl that inspired me to go to my room with her.

DR: hardened pros? Some yes, but not all. The DR is still the best for anyone who knows how to deal with negotiating with the girls, IMHO. Sure it's a "most of the time you win but sometimes you lose" deal, but that's half the fun: choosing the right one and becoming good at it. Helps a lot if you speak Spanish. You can still get a good one if you don't but it's harder. If you don't speak Spanish and don't know how to negotiate, then maybe SL is okay for you. But the selection is 1/20th of what you get at the Del Rey.

Had some Southwest Airlines miles burning a hole in my account so decided to return to San Jose this past weekend after about a year and a half absence. While I had a decent time the first few days with an old favorita, I was on my own Saturday night and decided to check out the Halloween Party at Sportsmen's Lodge. Big disappointment. I would estimate there were at least three mongers for every chica, the majority of whom were very unfriendly. Attempted to salvage the night by taking a stroll through HDR. While the monger-chica ratio was somewhat better, I didn't see a single one that caught my eye or interested me whatsoever and I called it an evening around 11. It was great while it lasted, but San Jose is truly in terminal decline in my opinion, so I will stick with MDE, CTG, and PTY in the future.

Admittedly SJ is not what it used to be. But it ain't dead!

Here's the deal nowadays:

You got to pass a few hours there sometimes (not always! Depends on your luck and your pickiness) to find a girl.

If you get there around 8 pm and stay til 11 pm I can pretty much guarantee you can find what you are looking for!

In fact sometimes even more good ones come in after midnight. So you got to be patient. It's harder than it used to be to find a great one but it's still totally do-able!

I despise the Sportsmans Lodge! High priced shitty American food! WAY TOO LOUD MUSIC so I can't even hear myself f-ing think! Girls who are never as top notch as the top notch girls at the Del Rey (again, you got to be patient though.) And the manager of the SL kicks people off "that other forum" for giving any negative criticism. It happened to me just because I told the truth, that the waitress short changed me and the omelet I got was inedible, bathed in grease!

The Del Rey is the only game in town.

Key Largo. I heard they were going to close it. Unless they stop playing that HORRIBLE live music in the 2nd room and HORRIBLE dance music in the first room, they may as well close as far as I am concerned. I can't spend 5 min in there without it giving me a effin headache!

Also almost no good girls go in there any more, just chanchas.

[Johnny Sax]

I'm headed to S. J. For work in a couple weeks and will be staying far outside of the downtown area.

Getting to the Del Ray or elsewhere in the vicinity seems pretty unlikely, is there a reliable website that one can order room service from?

If there is, I don't know about it. Why not take a taxi to and from the Del Rey. Taxis or better yet. Uber - are very reasonable here.

You have a couple options: you can rent an hour at the Morazan if they're not too busy (so I've heard). And there are places around the Del Rey (not far) that you can rent for an hour for a few dollars. They're not the cleanest but "probably clean enough" for a fuck. I've used them, never caught a bug.

Otherwise just rent the cheapest room at one of the monger hotels just to have it there for your hour of use. ?

The other option might be to look for girls on a "outcall" kind of site but now that Trump's admin has killed Craigslist and Backpage, I don't know where people find traveling girls.

Good luck.

I was in San Jose last year at the end of November going into December. I hit most of the Pensions and was grossly over tipping the girls. One looked at me with amazement saying Muchas Gracias over and over. There was a little bar, I want to say on Calle 3, which was about was about 3 or 4 blocks from the Holiday Inn which was a great place to hang out and just drink a beer. This place had a lot of ex-pats hanging out there and one guy told me I was tipping way to much and the girls would expect that from other Yanks and I was setting a bad example. I went to the pension next door and tip the girl what he suggested and she was happy. It was just over $10 and felt like I was robbing her but she was happy with it.

Can anyone let me know what the going tip rate is so I am not acting like am in Mid-town Manhattan?

You do not have to tip at all. Some girls may not like it if you don't but others don't' expect it.

I live here and how I handle it is this:

If their service is good but nothing special I'll give them 2-3 mil extra ($3-5 at current exchange rates).

If their service is TOP NOTCH I will give them 5 mil which is about $8 if I feel like it, or whatever I have close to that.

If their service is average or less than average I'll give NO tip and if they ask I'll tell them why, as I never plan to see them again anyway.

[Johnny Sax]

I never (rarely ever) tip working girls it sets a bad precedent. Once in a blue moon for over the top service. For general dining I normally tip 10% when outside of US but that is probably too generous.

No one tips in Costa Rica at restaurants. If you go to a super high class one where the waiter hovers over you and tends to your every need, then okay, but most restaurants you never get that kind of service so just DO NOT TIP! PLease. It sets a bad precedent. Ticos never tip.

Keya today. She did good enough. Decent body cute face good performance.

I have asked this before. I know it is only a matter of time but would like to know if The Topical Gel for ED is available for sale in Costa Rica now.

Perhaps if this was posted in the "General Info" thread you might have received a response. Not exactly a trip report.

Jennifer was good with big tits. Warning though she has some major stretch marks, but it's all good cause I am not picky. Especially for those prices. I have one pull from sportsman so far this trip and 2 from del rey. I'm averaging 30 k colones to 40 k. So far haven't went higher than that. This is easy.

[PoonyD]

Took a chica named Brittany. Nice body, pretty face, good acting skills. Got the condom BJ. She offered BBBJ for extra but I declined. Gave her a 5000 colones tip for the good performance.

[PoonyD]

I am planning on checking out some of the MPs I will report back to you guys and let you know what I find.

[BlkPanther]

Selected a big natural tits mixed black chica. Nice face. Slight GFE. Multiple pops. Decent performance. Shall not repeat due to the numerous options. Many slim young and old chicas are available.

Older chicas at the Sportsman's Lodge? I'll be checking it out.
