San Jose General Reports

They have some underground parking. Don't know the cost. Fees as others have posted. They are quite security conscious and will check cedula and record for anyone going with you to your room. Which is good. It's a 16 minute walk from the old Del Rey. 18 back. Not sure why that would matter.

Hours, don't know current restrictions. And test requirements to go back to US is what I presume you are talking about. No problem if you are vaccinated. I think.

Somebody said they charge just like Del Ray $10 per guest. Sent a message to them about guest policy but did not receive a reply. Car parking is free. I will be arriving around 11 pm and they said that's fine.

Booked a trip to San Jose middle of June. Booked a room at Taormina hotel. Renting a car. On Expedia king room is $73 per night with breakfast for 2 and free parking.

My question is for people who stayed there. Is parking a problem? Or it should be pre reserved with a message to the hotel through Expedia?

Posts say it is extremely girlfriendly with no chica fee. Is it true you can take anyone up to your room? Is more than one allowed? I am sure they will check I. The which is good.

Is the casino and bar area open around the clock? How far is it from old Del Ray?

By that time test requirements will hopefully go away.

Thanks for the reply.

My understanding is there is a $10 chica fee, which can add up quickly. Here is the email I received from them when I asked about the guest fee.

Hello Mr.

Yes Sir. , there's a extra fee of $10.00 USD per visits.

At your orders.

Staying at Taormina past couple days. Chica fee is $15. Probably due to the Easter Holiday things are kinda slow but still 20+ talents normally showing up after 8 PM. Fun stuff.

Masajes are open for business regular hours. Went to Monica's yesterday, and Relax the day before. Both had 5+ Chicas of average quality. Requested CIM and Culo and with 100% acceptance rate. After some pleasant propina negotiations.

Leaving tomorrow morning. Hotel could not arrange COVID test over the weekend so they sent me to Lab this morning. Easy walk and results were emailed in about 2 hours. $50 todo.

Was surfing at Jaco Beach Thurs-Sat, and stayed at Cocal. Beach vibe is good but of course things are expensive and masajes were not satisfactory. Speaking from surfer's point of view I did it right this time. 2-3 days in Jaco and the rest in SJ.

Still think Rio is better overall, but appreciate CR a lot more after this trip. Will come back.

This was lifted form the hotels site "Hotel and Casino Taormina in order to provide an excellent service, we offer you the assistance to take the Covid-19 test".

So make your plans and go then tell us all about it.

"Hotel and Casino Taormina"; I was just quoted $60 with a two hour turnaround.

[Dave The Expl]

Is there access to get the required covid test to return to the US? Where and how much does it cost? Are the hotels making arrangements to have them done?

Happy hunting.

Could be true, but please no one hold their breath on this one, boots or no boots. I just checked the big Tico P4P forum and no one is talking about it. The last several years the Rey was primarily their venue.

+1. Hotel Del Rey is finished and has been for over 1 year. It's never coming back, forget about it. It was an overpriced hotel and bar and IMO a real shit hole.

Taormina is the spot. Nice rooms and facilities at a fair price.

Was in SJ end of January and got tested at one of the many LABIN labs in the city. Mine was located in a shopping center, they spoke English and knew the type of test I needed. My return flight was on a Sunday so I made a Thursday 9 am appointment. Cost was $96 and I got my results with a doctor's signature PDF via email around 7 pm on Thursday. United Airline's app let me upload the doc and about an hour later United sent me an email that I'm good to fly. Super easy process and you can probably call ahead to set up the appointment.

There will be an "all white" party at the Taormina the 30 of this month.

Right now due to covid "restrictions" they can only allow 25 girls inside the bar area.

By the 30 of this month the "restriction" changes and they will allow up to 40-50 girls inside.

The Taormina is "Del Rey" right now (party, sexy chicas, casino, restaurant and bar).

Open from 14:00 to 23:00.

Del Rey is gone; deal with it, and have fun man!

Anyone else here about this news of HDR open again as a working girl house again, if true that's headline braking news, who's this boots on the ground saying April 5th? Hope it's true!

Planning my return to SJO in May. I've heard good about both hotels. From differing vantage points:

Taormina: About the closest thing to HDR these days; quality of the girls? Guest fee?

Castillo's: I hear they have a $110/ night all inclusive? Was reported to have 12-15 girls in the bar area recently.

Also, boots on the ground are saying HDR will reopen Apr 5th as the same format is had been.
