San Jose General Reports

[JunkJock]

Hey all,

Thanks kindly for making this forum as informative as it is. It definitely came in handy!

Here's my contribution. I included a 'travel advice' section, and a separate 'mongering' section for those already familiar.

Travel Advice.

I arrived Friday (the 26th) in the morning on a red-eye. I exited the airport, went to the parking structure, took the stairs to the second floor and re-entered the Departures area. Walked all the way down to the left and found the bank (not the exchange counters) and withdrew money at the ATM. Had to pay a 3% fee which amounted to an exchange rate of 550/1 rather than the official 568/1. It was the best deal I was going to get. There were fees on top of that from my ATM card issuer (Chase), but they reversed those in a single phone call once I got back.

I took an Interbus Shuttle from the Airport directly to the Del Rey Hotel for $10 (booked in advance). It's the best deal for convenience's sake. One the way back I would eventually take a $2 cab from the Del Rey to the Tuasa Bus Terminal and then a $1 (red) Tuasa bus to the airport. It's probably what I'd do going forward.

The Del Rey (at about $68/ night) was way better than I expected in both facilities and staff, as was the rest of the country. I originally selected Costa Rica as my vacation spot since it made so many mongering top-ten lists. Shortly after I started telling people I was headed down, I got all the book-several-days-in-the-jungle advice. Boy am I glad I did! I spent three days in Arenal at a hostel doing some genuinely life-changing adventuring that put the (decent) mongering to shame! Costa Rica is one of the best kept tourist secrets in the world, and everyone should see it. There isn't much to San Jose beyond mongering, honestly, but you can spend a month seeing nature at it's best, and it would only get better each day.

Mongering.

I got sick on my first day, probably from the red-eye travel and lack of sleep, so my first Del Rey night (a Fri) was a bust. I was in no shape for action, and spending an hour walking the lobby took everything out of me. I found a natural-looking dark haired Tica named Jaehayra with a beautiful chiseled face, and a cute if not perfect body. She asked me $80 off the bat, and would be the only one to not ask $100. She even sat with me in the lobby for a half hour while I got the shakes, but I was too sick to take her up on her offer. I cringe with regret thinking about it, since she was a truly sweet and sexy girl.

On Sat I did a scouting trip of pensions during the day from about 2 to 4 pm. I hit up IDEM (bolted shut), Relax, Pension 69, Monica's, Erotico, Little Havana, and Zona II. They all sucked. Honestly, only Relax had ONE girl I considered do-able. I'm a Tijuana veteran (the only destination I've been to in Latin America) and consider Tijuana a fairly middling spot in the global scheme. But the offering in San Jose (including most of the Del Rey) was really no better talent-wise (only logistically).

That night (Sat) I hunkered down in the Del Rey lobby and decided to find the best diamond in the rough. I found two. Both were 22-23 year old, white Ticas, and among the most beautiful girls I've ever been with. Both had spinner bodies and rockstar faces to go with them. The first one, Anny (pronounced like Amy with an 'and') gave me near-perfect GFE sex. It included one of the best and longest, uncovered blowjobs I've had in this lifetime. We got it on in several positions for truly exerting sex that had her moaning and rubbing herself furiously, while my thighs screamed for help. It put real girlfriend sex from my past to shame LOL! When all was said and done, we spent 90 mins together in bed and in the shower. I blew two loads on her chin / chest, and we went from sensual fondling to Game Of Thrones worthy romping and back again. I ended up giving her 60,000 colones, a bit more than the $100 she originally asked for, and didn't budge from.

Afterwards I discovered her friend Kimberly, the other aforementioned gem, who had quite a bit of tattoos (not a fan) but still plenty of talent to burn. I agreed to the same $100 as she was that fine-looking, but the sex wasn't nearly as inspired. She had far more rules and wouldn't get nearly as into it, but she was so hot it almost didn't matter. It's the reason I'm such a stickler to top-notch looks in the mongering world. When all else fails, it's the only guaranteed return. I blew one load rubbing against her tight ass in the shower, and managed to walk away satisfied.

I mongered in San Jose again the following Wed (the 31st) after returning from the jungle. I checked out the Del Rey lobby (where the kindly bellman Oscar watched over my luggage) at about noon. There was one stellar hottie named Yvonne who looked like a genuine 18/19-yo. She spoke Spanish only and wanted $100 for a single-shot romp. Since I didn't have my Del Rey room anymore (was heading to airport later) I offered to take her to Hotel Asia around the corner in my barely-there Spanish. She didn't seem enthused and I stopped wasting my time. What really soured me was some unshaven leg-hair though the hole in her jeans. No clearer sign of a poor attitude.

I did another short pension-circuit, hitting up Monicas, Erotico, Pension Erotica #3, Pension 69, IDEM (still shut) and finally Relax, where once again there was one decent girl. This one was a Nica named Laura (La-ooh-ra) with a pretty and wholesome face, and a decent body marred only by unfortunate belly stretch marks (oh well.) For the $31 I spent total it was a bargain, and I rushed it way more than she ever could (I needed to catch a plane).

In the overall it was a worthwhile mongering trip, but still paled in comparison to the rest of my Costa Rican experience. Even a small lick of Spanish did indeed help, BTW. I would certainly make a repeat visit, but not if it was solely for mongering. Despite the incredible sex I had with Anny, and the other reasonable experiences, the scene wouldn't rank as a world-class mongering spot in my mind. But to each his own. Otherwise, everyone should see Costa Rica once in their lifetimes!

Thanks for reading, happy hobbying, and stay safe!

Hi,

I am visiting San Jose in 2 weeks time, I like a club with lots of beautiful woman. What is best club in San jose? Or clubs? Thanks for helping out.

Super.

But, just recently you can now apply for the visa online as an E-Visa or something like that.

Good to know. Now if they would do something about the heat and crime and stop talking funny, I might consider it.

[Gagoo]

Plus you need to apply for a visa, if you are a citizen of the Divided States. An additional hassle as compared to CR or Colombia.

I would have been to Brazil many times now if I didn't need to apply for a visa. I went during the Olympics when I didn't need a visa. But, just recently you can now apply for the visa online as an E-Visa or something like that. I would have maybe tried this out this year but I'm moving in the opposite direction at the moment.

[Gagoo]

Word on the street is that the Del Rey has an abundance of chicas and it is a buyers market right now.

If your name used to start with Cuba, don't go back to Costa Rica. LOL They might not even let you in. I don't know.

Mail passport to visahq.com or apply online for e-visa. Big deal. A hassle is settling for third rate quality when you could be in Rio.

Errrr wrong city.

I heard Brazil was best but that IS a longer more expensive flight from CR or from USA.

There is no chica fee at the Taormina. Plus, a quick taxi ride to Taormina from the Del Rey and back is actually cheaper than the Del Rey elevator fee. When entering Taormina, the girl will have to leave her cedula at Reception.

The Taormina is way nicer than HDR. Costs just a little more, but worth it in my opinion. The rooms at HDR have gotten too run down now in my opinion. The breakfast buffer at Taormina is great too. Even if you aren't staying at Taormina, visiting their breakfast buffet is always a good idea.

Thanks for this info. I've been trying to get it!

Interesting assessment [re Colombia and Brazil] given you have not been.

For many, it is really only an hour and change more in the air. I would argue (as someone who has been to CR perhaps 12 times and Colombia 6 or so) is saving an hour really worth it?

I am not a member of the Costa Rica sucks club, but I would rate it, at this point, just an average mongering destination. If you want familiar, easy, point and shoot, its a great option in North America. If nearly constant GFE, Todo la Noche, with little issue or negotiation is a priority to you, then most of Colombia, and certainly still Medellin, are far superior.

I have not been to Colombia nor Brazil but was referring to the flight being too long to Brazil.
As for Colombia I hope to check it out.

I heard Brazil was best but that IS a longer more expensive flight from CR or from USA.
Costa Rica mongering has gone a little downhill but I have never once had a problem in finding someone worth taking up to my room, not now, not ever.
I do agree sometimes it takes longer than it used to, to find a girl I want; but if I'm patient and sit there for an hour or two I almost always find what I want.
By the way for newbies, the later you go the more girls there are, typically. A lot of girls don't arrive til 11pm.

Thanks for the reports! So how do you approach the sado room at Zona? Do the girls know what to do or do you have to tell them what to do? Is it awkward?

With April, I had no problem: in fact she was teaching me. I think (but I am not sure) all girls know what is expected of them, but as it is always the case, if they do not like you, and feel that you are vulnerable they may pretend they do not know and get away "easier" but I doubt: in this place they are professionals. Now you other question, " Is it awkward?" can be interpreted in 2 different ways. 1. It is not awkward to make sex with them while they are hanging at all: for me it was invigorating. You can adjust the girl if you need to. 2. Was it awkward to ask her do things -- April was very good and made you feel like a master. But if you still unsure ask the bartender -- she was very nice to me. In fact, to me (for the later visit) she even texted when "the girl of my dreams" arrived. I hope you will enjoy yourself (and post the experience here)! Have a great time.

Appreciate the replies to my recent post. Happy to hear everything is still cooking at HDR. Normally I fly in and stay at Sleep Inn. Walk over to HDR and find someone suitable and agreeable. Head over to the room rental across the street and have some fun.

I also like to do Veronicas. Never had a bad experience there. Oasis used to be a hot spot, but went downhill and then closed for renovations. I heard it's open again. Anybody been there since?

Colorado is fucking cold, boring and the Asian mps are a ripoff. Can't wait to get back to SJO.

NB.

My last exploratory day in Costa Rica was interesting. As I was somewhat disappointed with HDR yesterday (see previous report), I decided to explore other opportunities. As I started early (around 3 PM) Strip Clubs were still closed and I ventured into MPs. Importan: t they looked closed, but they were not: you have to ring a bell; I almost missed MP360 and then Zona 2 for this stupid thing as they looked closed under metal doors. So MP 360 was very disappointing: around 8 girls waiting, but not my test (and probably not many of those either). So I left and it felt rude, but I did not have any other choice. Then New Fantasy -- literally: no available girls. After my disappointment with MP360, I almost got excited: may be all pretty ones (IMHO) moved here, after all it is on the same street (and Zona 2 is on the same street just between them) , but when I asked ho wmany girls were working, two men at the front said in unison: one 5 and the other one 4 -- so I decided to leave and not to wait. Then I came to Zona 2 -- that is a bar I learned from one of us on the forum that it had special rooms -- and it does. But upon my arrival, I saw 2 heavy tattooed girls (not my thing) and after 2 previous disappointments my mood was not that great. Then 2 pretty girls arrived but they sat with another gentleman and let me understand that they were busy. And then a nice Nica April arrived. She said she wanted me and would do everything I would ask and we agreed on $80 USD for an hour with pictures (pictures are important to me). So the room had sauna, special chairs, large bed, and "a torture room" with all sort of equipment (handcuffs, whips, etc.). Because of the stupid blue light the pictures do not give the justice; the experience was incredible. Most is make-belief: I did not really incapacitate the girl, but she was a soldier and did not gave herself a break. She was hanged fully extended; handcuffed, and let me (very lightly) whip her during and before sex. And make pictures: tried to upload them here, but this forum has a very strict limit (my pictures are more than order of magnitude larger) so PM me: I got her permission to share with those who plan to hire her. After that returned to HDR to do some work, and left to investigate Strip Clubs in SJ First of all, the number of girls quadrupled and there were some very pretty one on my taste! But I decided to investigate strip clubs and came to Alcazar Strip Club. There were about 10-12 girls ages 21-28 and not one above 6 on my scale. Only one knew how to do pall dancing. Lap-dance is very different than in US. You pay for a drink (7 mills = $13.5 USD) and the girl dances on your laps while you give her a tip. I do not think tips are mandatory. They dance as long as they want (way better than in US) but it is up-to-them if they want to take off their clothes (way worse than in US, if a girl does not cooperate). I tried 2: one was bad and another was pretty good, so I took her up to the room to learn more about her. And it was worth it ($60 USD for 30 minutes including the room and the girl.) Warning: they had problems with watter (no watter) which made my experience way worse than it could be.

Finally after delays bcs of snowstorm in US North East and missing connecting flight, etc. Got to SJO at 10:30 instead of 4:30 PM, where the first time in my life I found a nice passport control guy. I was so exhausted that stood in a smaller line which turned out to be "Resident" but surprised officer instead of kicking me out (best case scenario) let me through with a smile "Welcome to Costa Rica!" Now Hotel del Rey -- I do not know who was talking about renovation and closure -- everything is in order. But I found 3 unexpected things: 1. Only 16 girls (Wednesday 11 PM, but still way fewer than I expected). From them 3 doable, I picked 25 yo Rachele who agreed to stay over night until 8 AM with any number of come shots, pictures and kisses are okay and. I had a very good GFE. Little English, but two phones made communication doable. The only problem was that I had to negotiate from $400 USD to $250, but tipped her $50 more ($300 all together) because she was so nice. (Originally I negotiated from $100 per hour asking price to $80, but once I heard that pictures were okay (reluctantly, but still), I wanted for the full night. 2. Very bad Internet in my room, but in the hallway (30 feet) all 5 bars. 3. When I went to try their "free" breakfast -- worth as much as I paid for it (nothing) -- at 8:30 AM in the morning, I was already eyed by 2 girls! I guess someone starts early -- no problem with that, but can not recall any other place where that happened. Today is massage and strip club day -- I want to find 18 yo -- I did not see any in HDR.
