San Jose General Reports

[Dickhead]

Each taxista in SJO may hold only one medallion, so if you write down the number of your cab, you have probably better traceability than with Uber. And all the taxis are metered. So taxi ripoffs are less of a factor in SJO than in many other places.

Just got back from SJO. Don't have much to add to what is here except to shill for Uber. I used Uber to take a taxi from the airport to La Amistad for about $12 US a third of what I was told is the going rate. Around town used it often, never paid more than a buck or two to get around down town and felt safe that I wasn't going to get robbed (or gouged) as Uber would have a record of who the driver is. Here in the US use it for transfer to and from my local airport again for about 1/3 of the cost of a taxi.

This weekend I had a group who requested I find a private house in San Jose that could be used for lodging the group together. I found the Presidential Mansion, the best place I have seen in San Jose to host a wild party. It had 6 bedrooms, three with king beds, 3 with queen, a large common area with stereo system and big screen TV, huge bar, and kitchen. It is perfect for group privacy, security and centrally located in the Gulch. It is within minutes of hundreds of women, casinos, restaurants, strip clubs and the Del Rey. It was a perfect place for a bachelor party or crazy Superbowl party. It was as good a location as the old Hotel M, only more conveniently located. The group enjoyed the location but failed to take advantage of its potential. They were content with the talent at the local mps. For anyone wishing to throw a great party, PM me for details.

Flying out of San Jose on Monday, coming in from Jaco on Sunday and want to stay somewhere near Del Rey. Have narrowed down to Hotel Presidente, Balmoral and Holiday Inn Aurola. Whats the "guest fee" at each? And which do you recommend? All are within $10 of each other and seem to be 2 or 3 minutes walk from Del Rey.

Or do you recommend another? Appreciate any advice you can give a newbie.

Why would you not stay at the Del Rey?

[Dickhead]

Thanks I called each and Aurola is $80 per girl. Balmoral $40 per girl. And Presidente is a no go. Amy other high end hotels near Del Rey that you can recommend?

I don't personally think that any of the hotels in downtown SJ are at all high-end. The Presidente wants to think it is, which is why they banned hookers several years ago. The Sleep Inn isn't too bad, but isn't inexpensive at all and has some kind of a chica fee. You'd probably do just as well to stay at the Del Rey. Or, get one of the nicer rooms at Sportsman's Lodge.

What's the best way to negotiate a rate for the night?

I've read girls typically try and fit in multiple clients so if you show up between 12 and 1 am things slow down and they may be more open to accepting one price for the entire night, but don't want to miss out on the talent either.

Another option may be to offer say $70 per shot. So even if they take the entire night to help you finish 3 x that's still $210 plus tip in their pocket. Likely more than they'd make other wise in a night and this is guaranteed $.

Any other suggestions?

[ODB2016]

My advice would be to read the hotel recommendations thread. Two of your selections are not girl friendly (Presidente flat out no, Balmoral you must register her as your guest = only one possible chica per stay) and the third charges $70 per chica.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Aurola a few weeks ago and the guest fee was about $80.

I'm planning a trip in Dec for 4 nights. I was thinking of Tu-Wed night in San Jose and Th-FR night in Jaco, flying back on Saturday eve. I'm wondering if the HDR in San Jose would have enough chicas on a Wed night; any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

From reading your report, I can tell this is your first visit to San Jose. You are learning using the trial and error method. From the date of your report I assume your first day was either Monday or Tuesday. Mondays are usually slow days here. This is a day when the guys who come in for the weekend are on the way out. Girls take Mondays off. It is next to dead at Alcasar. The Hotel del Rey is the slowest it will be all week. Not only are things slow on Mondays, they are time of day sensitive. You are wasting your time going to venues that don't really get active until a certain time of day. They may be open but that doesn't mean that most of the girls have arrived yet. Trusting a taxi driver in San Jose usually gets you to one of two places, New Fantasy, MP in the Gulch or to Strip Club Tango India, in an industrial area of La Uruca. Both places give the taxi drivers a commission to bring in gullible tourists. Tango India has really hot women at top of the line USA strip club prices. In other words think $500 plus to get laid. New Fantasy is a Tico owned massage that has a good selection of women but is on the high end as far as price $60 for an hour of basic service and additional charges for other services (BBBJ, DATY, kissing). It is best visited after 11 am. The Hotel Del Rey is open 24/7 and has girls 24/7. It is time and day sensitive. You never know anymore when it will be mediocre or great. It is always worth checking out. If you go early and it is slow, try later. The price is negotiable and what you get for the price is negotiable. It all depends on the girl. It generally starts at $60 and goes up from there. The MPs, start at $25 for a half hour and go up from there. There are over 50 licensed MPs in San Jose, most not worth finding. Several of the better ones that generally have a good selection of girls include, New Fantasy, Zona II, 360, Relax, Idem and Monica's. I list these for quantity and quality of the girls, security and cleanliness of the location. They are not necessarily the cheapest.

Good report Ed, thanks.

I've just tried to walk around Tica bars on calle 2, av 10.

All of the mare cellulite exhibition. No point to stay.

After that came to Alcazar. Is similar, there are girls, but none is my dream.

Took a taxi an he brought me to "nice place where there are nice girls", the drive took 3000 C in the middle of nowhere. Same result.

After that Del Rey. This is a spot. The girls negotiate up to 60 $. You can choose there your dream. 50+ chicas.

Tomorrow I will check out the casas.

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to come on the forum to talk about the Pops Tour in Costa Rica. Pops aka Ed is one of the coolest mofo's I have ever met. Most of you may know him from Costa Rica Ticas. In any case I paid $50 bucks for his Costa Rica tour and I can tell you it was the best $50 I ever spent. One of the problems I have encountered while traveling is that when you travel to a new area there can be a steep learning curve as to what one should do and not do. Hanging out with Pops, I was able to avoid all the newbie problems and hit the ground running. I can not recommend Pops services enough.

I think from know on I will look for a recommended guide on this forum when I travel to new places. The amount of time I saved was immense.

If you are reading this. Thanks again Pops. You are the man.

Chaser.
