[Nixonbd]

Thanks for the info. Also are there any nightclubs or strip clubs near Del Ray?

None of the above.

I am traveling to Costa Rica along with some family friends. We are going to stay in La fortuna area and on the beaches west. I will have some time to sneak out. Wondering if facebook is even an option or seeking? If there are any utr girls you recommend I am more than happy to book her travel and tag along with me. Just looking for means other than the typical hotel / bar scene. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!

It's Del Rey.

And no, you do not need to stay there to connect with a chica there. You can take them to your hotel, or to a short term room somewhere. There are no short term rooms at the Del Rey. The chicas know what is available for short term.

Sup guys I'm headed to San Jose in 3 weeks. Just had a general question about Del Ray Hotel. Do you have to be staying in the hotel to date one of the ladies? Any guidance is appreciated.

I am very surprised that haven't mentioned relax and Monica's.

Now that you mentioned, I totally forgot the map that World Travel made. There are a lot more on his map. I don't know how updated it is, but will use it as a reference and check them out if I get a chance, and some leche left, LOL.

I am planning a return trip to San Jose. My trip last year was somehow a success. I would normally head for Colombia where I always got great experiences. With the Covid situation there in the area where I frequented in BOG, I think San Jose is an easier choice. Can't afford to get infected and stocked in a foreign country even with 3 vaccine shots.

On my last trip, I brought up 2 girls from the hotel bar on 2 different nights, one did provide very good service but didn't want to complete the time agreed. The other is simply a disaster. Both were beautiful and young 8's in my book. I think hotel bars are still where you will find young candidates, and you can see what you are buying. Only it will take some efforts to weed out the bad apples.

Last time I also used cr. skokka.com with very good result. I will pursuit this venue again. I am in the process of selecting chicas I will visit. Knowing how they operate now, I am expecting even better result this time..

I went to both Golden and Oasis pensions last time. I only saw one doable chica out of the 2 establishments. With the intention to dine at Machu Pichu across the street, I will swing by Oasis this time just to see if the doable chica is still there. She was an 8. 5 actually, but I didn't get a chance to go with her. I know there are many pensions in the City, but I don't know others. If you guys want to share info of the other good ones, I will investigate and report back.

[The Critic]

Reminds me of when I traveled with my folks as a teenager. My dad would always want to see the room first. So the manager would show him rooms. Once, after seeing a room, he got back into the car and we drove to another motel.

When I asked why, he said "Well, the manager told me that the room would be $25 without the TV but $30 with a free TV. " "But that means the 'free TV' costs $5", said my Dad. He said that he argued with the manager for several minutes that the TV cost $5 but the manager insisted that it was free.

LOL, Simple Math. Always a fee.

The lack of a guest fee at the Taormina is more the inattention of the desk clerk and less the number of booked guests. I've booked two guests before and still had to pay the guest fee, after the first guest. I'm glad others had better luck, but it's a YMMV situation.

[Nixonbd]

But you must pay extra for the guest option. Therefore, there is a guest fee, no matter how you slice it. It may be a one time fixed charge, it may be small, it may be reasonable, but it's still a guest fee. Right?

Let's be clear: Pay a lower rate; guest fee for every guest you take up. Pay the higher rate; no guest fee, period. It's your preference.

[Margaya]

I just returned from San Jose yesterday, the mask is only needed to enter the hotel. Once inside, the mask can generally come off. No one was wearing a mask inside the HDR, other than the staff. In the Taormina, masks are still mandated in the lobby and casino. In Jaco, you have to be wearing a mask to enter the Cocal, but once inside, it can come off.

Thank you.

I did not like the mask in lobby policy at taormina last time, makes it impossible to figure out if I want to talk to girl or not.

no guest fee if your reservation includes the guest option

See the Jaco section for my trip report that pre-dates this entry:

Stayed at the Taormina for two nights; $90 a night, free breakfast and no Chica fee. Met my girl from the Cocal (the one I told I wasn't going to take that night) on Monday afternoon. We enjoyed several beers at the hotel bar and got reacquainted. Had a pizza at the bar, then played some slots before retiring to my room. She was 29 yo, one four old daughter. Great ass, smallish breasts with 1/2" nipples, shaved pussy. Note: The girls must give up their IDs at the reception desk and the guest signs off on the register; again, no guest fee if your reservation includes the guest option. Had another GFE experience with deep kissing, uncovered BJ, long oral on her sweet pussy and multiple positions. All in all, she spent four hours with me. I paid her $150 and I gave her 10,000 colones for her cab fares. We will get together again in my next trip.

Generally, there are nights where there are only 10 - 15 girls at the Taormina; other nights where there are 20 - 30. It's pretty hit or miss.

Sunday night was very slow at the Taormina, so me and my wingman took a taxi to the Del Rey. The HDR bar was more crowded but the girl talent was not very good. The casino is starting to come back, a few slots in operation. Bottled beers are 2,000 colones.

All in all a good trip. It seems the restrictions are continuing to ease. Both girls I hooked up with had two vaccines. Expect longish lines at immigration in SJO. No forms to fill out, they will ask a series of questions; where you stay, how many nights, what is your departure info. Have your departure flight info printed out or accessible on your phone. The week before Easter is a big holiday week for Costa Ricans: many families go to beach destinations for the week. You may see fewer girls at the usual meeting spots that week. That also applies to any CR holidays that may coincide with your trip. It's always to look at the holiday and voting schedules for international trips. I went to Ecuador one year during a presidential election and the bars were closed all weekend.
