San Jose General Reports

[Mr Jetsetter]

In my opinion, the Castillo is the best hotel on the lower price point group. Nice rooms, cheap, and close to everything. Next door to the Hemingway. It is actually in the gringo gulch.

I've stayed at the Castillo a number of times. I found the rooms overlooking Avenida 9 to be EXTREMELY noisy, for reasons of both street noise and hard wood floors. I was much more pleased with the 2nd-floor rooms in the back wing, #s 20-23, I believe. Pleasant management and a good vibe there.

You say you want to try somewhere different. My advice is for you to do it. Life tends to pass quickly by. Myself I try to limit my regrets to a minimum. Sure you will find some curvy thicker girls with big butts and meaty thighs in Costa Rica. The problem is these Gorditas want the same price as the Spinners. A true monger should make at least one trip to CR. A walk thru the Del Ray is an experience in itself.

You only live once! I went ahead and booked it for Jan 10th, hopefully all the chicas are back from the holiday break by then. Still not sure which hotel I'm going to go with. I've narrowed it down to Dunn, Amistad, or Morazon. My wing wants to stay in Del Rey and never leave the hotel LOL. I checked the prices for DelRey and its $62 a night including tax. Not bad at all. Any downsides to Delrey besides the chica fee?

[Kelso1]

Hey guys, I'm debating whether or not to check out Costa rica in January. I've always heard about it but never went. I was wondering if there are many curvy thicker girls with big butts and meaty thighs like you would find in places like DR or Brazil. Am I just wasting my time going there? I could always go back to Brazil or DR but I want to try somewhere different.

[El Greco]

My next destination: I have no clue. I'm burned out on the Latin America scene. Is there a small (or large) town in Latin America that's been unaffected by visitors and has a mongering scene? I have a feeling the Philippines is still good, I just don't think I can find the time to go all the way over there.

Many thanks for your report.

Ask your question to "SPERTO" on the RIO DE JANEIRO forum. He knows all the hidden treasures in Brasil

Hi Guys,

Has anyone stayed at Hemingway Inn in SJ? How far is it from Gringo Gultch?

Also, if anyone has any recommendations or phone number for particularly busty ticas in SJ, Jaco or Quepos I would really appreciate it. I prefer slim and stacked but if she's a little overweight it's ok. I prefer TLN and would consider takng her to MA Park for river rafting, etc, if she was a fun time. I'll be very nice to her.

Buenos suerte!

[John Gault]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the great information in recent posts. I'll be visiting CR in late Feb / early March for two weeks for the first time and want to maximize quality sex time. I've decided to rent a car because I'm attending a conference in Jaco and want to see Manuel Antonio Park, too.

I've got phone numbers and pics from beauties in PI if you want to trade.

Muchas gracias for any recommendations! Please PM if you do.

I stayed there for one night this Nov, and with the tax it was $57. 50. Good breakfast included. The room was not very nice, and the TV was not much bigger than 15 inches. In the daytime not a bad walk to the Gultch.

[Chris Long]

Chris Long Thanksgiving weekend in San Jose.

Had a great time down there, met up with a lot of old friends from previous trips and made a lot of new friends with the board members. This was my fourth trip down this year and sorry to say I think the price structure has only gotten worse. I believe there are too many guys paying cien for an hour or less of very limited sex. Went down with the Doctor on this trip and the Doctor hit the lottery with a hot little tica that he spent the vast majority of his time wifed up with (I hope I am invited to the wedding). I played the field had sex 22 times with 19 different women. Which is actually low for me, I'm trying to control sex addiction.

Sportsman's Lodge:

This was my first time staying at the Sportsman I had the basic single room, the Fiesta room to be exact and I was quite pleased with the place. The room had a little refrigerator which allowed me to buy food and juice and bring it back to my room. This saved me a great deal of money on meals as I just ate almost exclusively in my room. The Sportsman also has a gym it's pretty basic but has enough for me when I am vacationing. The room was quite for the most part but there is a train, the first morning I started hearing the whistle at about six in the morning and it seemed to go every ten minutes. However, I had left my bathroom window open, once I closed the bathroom window and closed the bathroom door the noise was not that bad and I didn't notice it on the following mornings. I would imagine staying at La Amistad has got to be hell as it is right next to the train tracks.

The women at the Sportsman are pretty hot for the most part I was very pleased with the quality and quantity of women I seen at the sportsman. The place has always reminded me of a miniature Del Ray. You will find that many of the girls will work both Sportsman and Del Ray. Many will just work Sportsman and not go to the Del Ray and many just work the Del Ray and don't go to the Sportsman. But I never had a problem bringing any girl back from the Del Ray to the Sportsman. The girls all seemed pretty despite for business but were foolishly asking for cien and not wanting to offer BBBJ. I refused to pay this amount and more than half of the girls at both Sportsman and Del Ray who initially turned me down for 80 and BBBJ by the end of the night or the next night were willing to accept my offer. These girls are despite for business and they will come down in price and offer better services you just have to hold your ground. If she doesn't go for your offer the first time by the end of the night or by the next night she will be chasing you down to accept your offer. I even had one sportsman girl who initially would not do BBBJ and wanted 100 the first night I arrived chase me down the next night more than willing to do the hour for 80 with BBBJ. I told her I was no longer interested in her and would only do it if I could also do her in the culo, she agreed. The problem is too many guys are giving in and paying too much and accepting substandard service.

Del Ray Chicas:

The Doctor was really put off by the Del Ray chicas on this trip. They all seemed to have a thinly veiled hard core attitude. On my first night they were all asking for cien both the Doctor and I were refusing to pay that amount on subsequent nights many who initially quoted me cien were willing to go for 80 (which is still too high) These girls will come down just hold your ground. This was my fourth trip there this year and there were many familiar faces along with some new faces. Looking at all of the girls at the Del Ray that weekend, between my four trips I must have done about a quarter of them.

I met two super-hot black Columbians on this trip. One I had seen before on previous trips at the Del Ray both initially quoted me cien both later came down to 80 and BBBJ. Both were perfect 10 in my book one worked out of the Sportsman and claimed to be an ex Medellin mansion girl the other one named Jackie worked out of the Del Ray. I was so taken with Jackie that I had her come back the next night and do a TLN with me for $200 (I know expensive but believe me I got my money's worth out of her that night)

Hotel Little Havana:

Stopped into the HLH one afternoon to check it out, Greg was no longer there and they had done some remodeling. The front desk is bigger and there is now a wall that separates the bar from the lounge room to the left of the bar, they seemed to have taken out some of the furniture that was in the room as well. Personally I didn't like the change. The chicas all seemed to be the same for the most part and the new ones that I seen I was not particularly interested in. I heard they were offering some pretty good deals on the room rates so this may be a good place to stay and save some money for the chicas.

New Fantasy:

Stopped in here a couple times found a hot 19 year $50 for the hour plus she wanted a $20 tip for BBBJ. This seems to be the norm for this place. Every time I've session in this place and gone back to the room with the girl there is the strong smell of marijuana, I believe the girls smoke marijuana in their break room.

Pirates Club:

Made it over to this place one night the super hottie who was working there on my last trip in August was no longer there. The chicas that were there were in the 7 to 8 range in my book. I took a little 18 year old, slightly plump but very youthful looking. Price was $35 for the half hour. The beds in the Pirates always suck, you practically fall into the mattress and the bed squeaks like hell. This place to my mind is badly laid out. There's a front area where the bar is and the girls hang out, then in the back there are booths but no one is ever back there. There seems to be a lot of wasted space. The pirates in my mind always dances along the line of either being a good place to get laid at a good price or just being a cheap clip joint trying to nickel and dime you out of your money. First time I went there in January all of the girls were allowing DATY and doing BBBJ. In August they would only do it for a $20 tip on this trip they would not do BBBJ at all. The girls also get a cut if you buy them a drink so in the past I have experienced high pressure to buy them drinks all night. On this trip when we were about to leave I went to pay for our drinks. I had a few small 1000 and 2000 colones and a 10, 000 colones. I wanted to pay the bill with the 10, 000 colones so I could save the smaller bills for the taxes (who never have change) the momason who works behind the bar seen what I had and claimed she didn't have any change for the 10, 000 (BS) and wanted me to pay the bill with my smaller bills. (Ken if you are reading this doing these cheap little things to your customers is what's going to kill your business)

San Jose:

I personally believe the place to be safe. I walked all around, over to calle 6 down to Illusions and La Mansion MP several times on my own and never had a problem. I walked between the Sportsman and Del Ray on my own at 2 and 3 O Clock in the morning and never had a problem. There are trannies out but I just crossed to the other side if I didn't feel comfortable and just smiled and waved my hand no when they made their cat calls. Had one who I thought was a tranny come up to me and tell me she was a women even pulled her pants down and showed me her pussy but she wasn't very attractive and I wasn't interested in her.

MP.

Poked my head into just about all of the MP in the gulch, jet set appears to be closed now. The majority of the women in these places are in the 6 to 7 range and below with a few in the negative numbers. However if you look into enough of them you will usually find one diamond. The prices are anywhere from $12 to $14 for the pensions on calle 6 to $24 to $30 for the half hour at the others. These places operate more on colones rather than dollars so you will want to take collones with you when you visit these places. When I asked almost all of the girls would agree to do BBBJ the only one where I was having trouble finding this was the fourth pension on calle 6 there were three or four cuties in here definitely worth doing given the price is only 6000 colones or $12 dollars, however practically none of the ones I talked with were willing to give BBBJ. Almost gave up and was about to leave when I spotted a cute little girl in her early 20s who turned out to be a great BB GFE experience. The rooms in these places are can be pretty rugged and the beds are little more than a wooden frame with a foam mat on top.

Final Thoughts:

San Jose can be a great place. The only problem is the pricing structure has gotten way out of control, which is surprising to me as these girls are all despite for business and customers. I believe too many guys have ruined the market by paying too much for substandard services. I also believe if we hold our ground and not pay these prices and expect better services the market price will come down.

Transportation: Most Cental / South American cities have frequent airport buses that are literally 5% or less than the cost of a taxi. San Jose is no exception. The bus picks-up and drops off on the main road directly in front of the airport. I don't know the exact cost. I gave 2 mil and got a lot of change. I think it was 400 colons. The San Jose pick-up / drop-off is on Ave 2 between calle 12 and 14. It's about a 15 minute walk along Central from the Del Rey hotel. The buses I took were direct and took exactly the same time as a taxi would have.

Hotel: Stayed at Morazon. It's a great deal. $39 per night if booked online. They would not give me that rate when I tried to extend in-person. Free breakfast, $50 match-play coupon, sportsbook on second floor, and no girl-fee. After visiting Sportsman, I think that's a great destination too. It just depends on whether you want to be away from the inner city chilling out at a nice sports bar (Sportsmen) or near the casinos and nightlife of Del Rey / Key Largo.

Poker: Played at Del Rey and the games were fairly easy. They have nice bonuses for hitting quads and bad beats. I hit quad 10's and they gave $100 bonus. Just remember, if you hit quads, don't force everyone out of the hand or you won't get the bonus.

Del Rey: Too hardcore and mindless for me. Every conversation started the same. What is your name? Vacation or business? Where are you from? Where are you staying? Same four questions every time. I was tempted to hand them a flash card that had the answers. The few 9's were way too full of themselves. The only success I had here was to find a 6 with the right attitude. 7's and higher seemed to have questionable personalities to me.

Pirate Club: Nice place, but the women there on Friday from 5:00pm-7:00pm were all 6's and below. It took 30 minutes to get there due to traffic. It was a big waste of time for me. If I were to go again, I would go there after 8:00pm to avoid the ridiculous traffic.

Fantasy: I went during the day. There was a nice selection there. There was a large group of obnoxious drunk Americans there so I decided to leave.

Night Clubs: I was taken to an area on the edge of town that had 3 strip clubs in a row. I didn't see any names for the clubs, just a sign that said 'Night Club'. There were some nice women in there. The drinks were a little expensive, but overall it was a nice time. They are full nude.

Taxis: Mostly fine. I got ripped off twice. First, got charged 5 mil to go to the Strip Clubs just at the edge of town. It was only 2. 5 mil coming back. Second, I grabbed a taxi and told him to go to Little Havana. I'the never been there. He dropped me off at some hotel and said it was Havana. After I paid, he drove off quickly only to find this hotel was far from Havana and didn't even have a similar name.

Sportsmen: Very nice bar, lively, low pressure. I came with a girl and couldn't shake her, so I didn't get a chance to speak to the other women. For me, it was the best place to hang-out.

Airport: The fastest entry / exit for any international airport I've been to. Maybe I just got lucky.

Food: Maybe the worst of any large city I've been to. The meats are just not very good. Their food does not have much flavor. Everyone says the fish is good, but I didn't try. I basically survived on rice / beans and Wendy's.

San Jose: This is probably my last trip here. I've been 3 times and I've never had a really bad time, yet never had a really good time. I will say, if you plan well, you can make it a very affordable trip (Spirit Air, Morazon Hotel, Bus to / from Airport, etc). My 3-day trip including air / hotel / car / food / girls was around $600.

My next destination: I have no clue. I'm burned out on the Latin America scene. Is there a small (or large) town in Latin America that's been unaffected by visitors and has a mongering scene? I have a feeling the Philippines is still good, I just don't think I can find the time to go all the way over there.

[Jonesie]

Both will run hot an cold. You have to remember, hookers are not the most stable employees / business people. Keeping stable talent in this industry is tricky.

That being said, the Pirate Club has a few hotties lately. They have a few notties as well, but nobody's perfect. The SL has its moments, and many others in between. You can find some nuggets in the rocks there if you're lucky.

How's the quality at the Sportsmen's Lodge and the Pirate Club lately? Anyone can chime in their opinion?

I got back last week from my trip to San Jose. I have been going on and off to CR since the mid 90's. I just spent 5 nights / 6 days during this last trip. In my humble opinion. This was the worse line up of women I have ever seen at the Del Rey. There are a couple of nice looking stunners, and a few cute / pretty one's, and alot of avarage one's, and many dogs. Again, this is just in comparison to all of my other previous trips (Between 12-15 trips in total). I am specifically speaking of Del Rey and Key Largo. Many of the hot colombiana stunners were not there.

Out of the five nights I was there, I only took one gal, and she was a young cute panamian gal. Thats all I took out in five nights at the Del Rey. Again, just comparing to previous trips. There is still fun to be had, but even though there are many choices, quality has dropped. I am not going to get into the reasons why many stunners are not there, but the bottom line is that there are few compared to the past. There has laways been a night or two when things are very slow or few stunners. However, this time it was during all 5 nights in a row were I was not impressed with the talent as I am accustomed to at the Del Rey.

Also, I noticed that the girls were much more aggressive during my last trip. Tapping me on the shoulder and saying "Vamonos" without even chatting or consulting. Asking for drinks from the get go. Particularly, the Dominicans were just a pain in the ass with bad attitudes. One last point. There have always been a couple of overweight lovers who are in there lloking for a cuntomer, but there were quite a few more this time around.

Again, there are still fun times to be had, but you have to reaaly do your homework and show apply lots of patience to be able to get a beautiful gal for the right price and good service. I just ended up taking advantage of the day time massage places. The are not many stunners, but at least I got good service. I will go back to CR one day, but I am really in no hurry after this trip. For the record, a few other gentlemen I met and spoke to on this trip had the same common opinions as I did.

I am not discouraging anyone to go. I am just saying that the quality has dropped for now. Hopefully, its just a hickup, and things will improve.

I had two super hot black Columbians over Thanksgiving weekend. I would consider both to be 10s in my book. Did a TLN with one for $200. I did not have a problem getting DATY from all the girls I took. Many were wanting 100 but I refused to pay that price. Later that same night or the next night everyone who who would not budge off of 100 were all happy to accept 80. It is a buyers market. Don't over pay these girls are desprite for business. Even had one offer up her culo for 80 if I would agree to take her a second time.

Chris

I saw two 9-10's at Del Rey last night, those were the two that refused DATY. Where did you pull your 10's?

I went to New Fantasy and Del Rey this afternoon. Still no Colombians. Maybe they go home early for Christmas season. I'll check-out Del Rey again tonight.
