San Jose General Reports

[Tiger Guy X]

Got selected for a somewhat last minute trip work trip to Cost Rica and I want to take full advantage of things. Since it's work related they have a hotel (the boring kind) that I was expected to stay at so none of the fun places Most of the talk about places seem to be hotels with on-site girls. I'd like to know of any decent and reasonably priced places (as I certainly like to visit a few during my week there) where I can show up and have fun on-site there in private room for an hour or a few then head back to my boring hotel for the night.

Thanks

I meant to say that La Amistad and Sportsman's are very close to each other, not Zona II and La Amistad. Zona II and the Dunn Inn are very close to each other.

Hi guys,

Hoping I could get some last minute advice for a last minute trip to SJ for this weekend. Trying to pick a hotel. I have only been to SJ once, five years ago, and don't remember much. Stayed at the HDR, at that time. I have read the forums back about 1. 5 years, but still can't get a clear picture. Disappointingly, no good ROD for some time.

Trying to decide between the most commonly mentioned options: HDR, La Amistad, Sportsman, and Zona 2.

The problem is, I don't have a good idea about how far things are. Are Sportsmans, La Amistad, and Zona 2 close enough that you can pick up a girl from HDR and walk back to your hotel? Somebody else asked this question, but the answer wasn't clear to me.

If possible, I want to take advantage of the Amistad free ride to Jaco. But it would also be nice to stay in a hotel with action at the bar, like the other 3. Reports on girl quality are all over the place, so I'll have to see for myself. Would like to avoid the $10 fee at HDR if possible.

Finally, the room descriptions at sportsman lodge talk about rooms in the "modern wing, courtyard, and clubhouse". Recommendations?

They all seem to cost $100/ night. I don't think that there is a price difference.

Thanks in advance!

It's an easy walk to Sportsman's or La Amistad (or Zona II for that matter). But the girls are not keen on making the walk. High heels. Plus the added time expediter is my guess. Anyway, dole out the $2 and take a cab back if your with a girl. It will be money well spent.

I'm a fan of La Amsted...price includes the food and drink, as well as NO joiner fee (there's not one at Sportsman's or Zona II either).

I've never stayed at Zona II, but in told that "set" price for the girls goes down to like $22-23 if you stay there...that's a pretty drastic discount.

Sorry guys,

Is the Hotel Presidente chica friendly?

Thanks!

I have never been to San Jose, so take my comments with that in mind. After reading this thread, I saw that someone recommended the Hotel Morazon, just across the street from the Del Rey, as quieter, so I inquired about their chica status, and they charge nothing for the first woman ($25 if you bring 2). That seemed perfect to me, so I have booked a few nights there when I will pass through in July.

[Dickhead]

All those hotels you mention are 10 to 12 blocks from the Del Rey. Not too many chicas will want to do that walk. Sportsman's is also uphill. If you stay at Sportsman's, avoid the rooms by the bar. Zona 2 has its own women so I personally would not see a reason to bring a woman there from the Del Rey. La Amistad and Zona II are very close to each other. The Presidente is not chica friendly, has not been for several years unless something has changed again.

Hi guys!

Considering a last second trip to CR this weekend. Haven't been there in about 5 years, and although I have been to Domenical and Manual Antonio, never to Jaco. Since I like to surf, normally I would go to Jaco, but the weather report is for severe thunderstorms all week. Not sure its worth hauling my ass down there if I will be indoors the whole time anyway.

So if its just punting, and few outdoor extracurriculars, which reigns supreme and why? I guess its slow / rainy season now. For guys in CR now, what are the going rates at HDR and Cocal? Chica quality?

Thanks!

Manny, there is never a bad time to come to see. Are. For some p4 p action. A little slow at Easter and Christmas, that's it. Jaco is always happening on the weekends. The problem you are going to have in Jaco is getting a room, since you are waiting until the last second. Don't confused the green season afternoon rains with the monsoon rains of Asia. Most every morning is clean and there is plenty of surfing to be had in Jaco, not to mention world class surf in Hermosa 5 minutes away. The going rates at HDR is starting at $100 but will settle for $60-$80 and the Cocal it's $150 but will settle for $80-$100 (world class chicas).

Vrubel, even if you do pick up a lady say at the Fiesta Casino next door, the Holiday Inn won't let you take her to your room. All the p4 p action is 20 minutes south in the Gringo Gulch area of San Jose. I personally would not worry about an early morning flight as transport from San Jose to the airport is on 20 minutes in the early morning. I pick up guys all the time at 3 - 4 am For those early flights.

Thank you, O. L. D. - can you offer me some advice on a good place to go that first afternoon / evening, for an erotic massage where all services are offered on-site?

AAhhh, I was just reading about the recent volcano eruptions. NOW I know why tickets are so cheap. Anybody in San Jose now? Is their volcanic ash in the air? Just worried if my return flights could get cancelled.

Hi,

I will be coming to Costa Rica in July, and spending one night at airport Holiday Inn Express before leaving early the next morning on a short flight to one of the national parks, where I'll hike for a week. After that I am heading back up to San Jose for a few nights, staying in one of the chica friendly hotels that I have learned about thanks to this forum. My question is this. I picked the Holiday Inn Express because my priority that first night is to not mess up my early departure the next morning. BUT. I'm curious if there any good chica pick-up spots right there. The casino next door? I wouldn't mind getting a little recreation in before I head down to the jungle, but I'd rather not head into the city until I get back. Advice?

Thanks for the info. Are there any hotels in Escazu that you know of that are both chica friendly and reasonably civilized? The person handling the booking of this trip for me is a female so I think she is purposely placing me out of San Jose center. And the gringo gulch.

The only one I know of is the Holiday Inn Escazu. I had a client who stayed there by mistake one time. It however did have a $50 guest fee. Tell your lady who is doing the booking that you want to stay at the new Taormini in San Jose. She won't know anything about that hotel. Like I always say, "if you don't know your country, better know your tour company. ".

No, it is not unless you register the guest before your arrival.
