San Jose General Reports

[NastyBoy]

What is the procedure at Oasis? Can you sit and visit with the girls for a while or do you have to make a pick immediately upon entering and you are swept back to a dumpy room? Are there any dancers at Oasis? What is the pricing structure?

First...you gotta be nice to the security guard....let him ring the bell to announce your arrival. He gets pissed if you ring the bell. I always slip him a couple of bucks just to make the dude smile and kiss my ass whenever I go there. It's the lowest price I've ever paid for ass kissing.

Second....Yes you have to pick right away. Once they let you in the girls will stand up for a few seconds. Not even a minute. To let you peruse, then they all sit down and go back to whatever the fuck they were doing before you got there.

Normal session is 10k colones. I used to interview them for the bbbj before going back, but one girl finally got tired of hearing my shit so she told me they all do bbbj for an extra 5k. So I pay the extra 5. Then I learned I can get anal for an extra 15k so I buy that too. At those prices I stay more than an hour. Sometimes I take two. Sometimes I pay for a couple of hours in advance for one. Sometimes I pay for one and if she isn't any good I tell her to go get me another one and I start with her and I never even leave the room. Once I finished a session but wasn't fulfilled so I said I wanted another one and they brought the whole fucking lineup into the room for me to choose all over again. On this occassion one girl volunteered that her and her girlfriend will suck each others pussy for you, but hell, I wasn't into paying for their fun. I was there for mine.

There are no dancing girls but they have radios in all the rooms so if you want her to dance just tell her to start dancing. It's your hour. I'm sure she'd rather dance than suck your dick.

No sitting around and bullshitting with the chicas. If your fave is busy and you wanna wait they give you chair in the lobby, but the girls don't come out to bullshit with you. I remember an occassion in another country when I asked one of the girls if they just talked.....she said...."Talk to your friends", lol....it's all business...

Oasis is a great place with fine, young babes. Harry the owner is a really pleasant guy that always ask how your session was and is genuinely interested in your repeat business. It's my second home when I am in San Jose.

Noguera:

I have good and bad news about Oasis. It is a daytime MP. The bad news first, no beds, just the "naugahyde massage tables" The good is that the quality of chicas (IMHO) is among the best in San Jose and the price is approx. $20.00 per hour. I think it is one of the best overall places for your money. It is located away from the "Gringo Glut" but it is only a couple of bucks by taxi. I am sure you can negociate with the chicas and meet them for a good session at your hotel.

Another two places you may try are Zona Blue and New Fantasy. They are a daytime combination of MP/ Sauna / etc. They have nice rooms, sauna, meeting area(ZB), internet(ZB) drinks, etc. They are well within your budget and the selection is good (of course YMMV).

If you are for "mid-level to a little bit dumpy of a strip club" you do not find many at SJ but plain bars(no stripping) are pleantifull with beds in the places and if you "hablas Español" it is not goin to be difficult for you to be succesfull in your quest. The bars are nocturnal and the MP are diurnal.

Key Largo is a Bar/Dancehall/Restaurant with the twist, ALL girls in there are available. Is just like Del Rey without the casino and with dancing.

I forgot to mention that both MP's and bars prices fluctuate from $12.00 to $25.00 per hr session. You can go to the hi-end strip places but the prices are absurd for CR. Del Rey and Key Largo prices can vary from$35.00 to $100 depending on your charm and negotiating skills. Spanish speaking is helpfull.

Locations for the MP's and bars can be found in Dongordo.com and I think there are web sites listed in this forum. PM me if you need more info.

One think I need to find is a job that takes me to SJ like yours.

Happy huntings and "Buena Suerte compañero"

PS If you have an option in where to stay Sportsman's Lodge is a good option because it also offers companionship at good prices and is far from the noise and close to the action.

I am headed down to San José for a few days of work. I have reviewed the last few months of posts, but still looking for some specific advice.

What I enjoy the most is a mid-level to a little bit dumpy of a strip club. I like to sit and chat-up the girls for an hour or so, before making my selection. My price range is around $50/hour for either the back room, or taking them back to my hotel for a couple of hours. Any recommendations guys? I don’t like the fancy, higher-class strip clubs.

I would like recommendations on a couple of casas (brothels/MPs) in the $30/hour range …… with beds and not those damn naugahyde massage tables. Again … I like the adventure of the mid- to lower-class places. Though not dangerous places or neighborhoods.

Can anyone give me more details on Oasis? Is this a strip club or an MP? What is the procedure at Oasis? Can you sit and visit with the girls for a while or do you have to make a pick immediately upon entering and you are swept back to a dumpy room? Are there any dancers at Oasis? What is the pricing structure?

You never hear anything about Key Largo any more? Can you pick up a decent looking girl there for $50 to take back to your hotel for a couple of hours?

Obviously, I speak fluent Spanish.

I have a week of vacation time coming up in April including Good Friday and Easter Sunday and my question is this:

Being a Catholic country how quiet does San Jose and Costa Rica in general get during Easter week and particularly the Friday and the Sunday. I have been twice in the last year and love it, but obviously not particularly intrested in going if all the girls have gone home!!

Any advice would be apreciated.

Sun Devil,
I read about Kamur's supposed new set rates on CRT. Maybe you have to let them know you are aware of them. You paid what I paid on my last visit there in July, when I sessioned with Sabrina in a room without a bed. Thanks for the info, and I will look into this matter further.

I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of sessions there last March with a lovely lady named Roxanna, a very slender and attractive woman who was a CRT "chica of the month." I'm wondering if this is the same individual you sessioned with. I actually posted a picture of her a couple of weeks ago in this "reports" section. Glad you had a good time!

[Orgasm Donor]

I just gotta give a shout-out for La Gran Via
Sure it isnt the most luxe place in SJ, but its clean, cheap, no chica fee.
But I really gotta hand it to the dude at the desk. I was juggling two Tica girlfriends, and they were calling the hotel and leaving messages. If I showed up with one chica and had messages from the other, He would be extremely discreet about giving the message to me. Hed either slip me a note with my key, or wait till I got to the elevator and call me back so I could give my chica the slip and quickly say the other chica called. He of course earned a tip.

When I was at Hotel Castillo, (nicer, quieter place, lil more expensive, no chica fee) last year Nov. 04, they did have a cute girl working the desk. One of my chicas "dropped in" unexpectedly while I was out and asked when I left, was I with a girl, and the desk girl blew my cover. Fortunately I was able to BS my way out of that. I cant hold it against the desk girl too much cuz one day a few of her amigas were hanging out with her at the desk and she said her friend thought I was hot and wanted to date me! (I love this country!)
IMHO Hotel Castillo is *somewhat* monger friendly, as long as you keep it on the down-low and after the eco-tourists have gone to bed. One more thing, breakfast "buffet" there is "Tipico Tico" which means hard-boiled eggs, gallo pinto, toast, fruit, juice and average coffee.

Hope it's okay that I post this in this forum; no one seems to be reading or replying in the Travel forum.

I am trying to save money to spend on girls, not on hotel bills. Which would you recommend, the La Gran Via or the Morazan? Both seem to be in the $50/night range. Of course the Morazan is closer to the action which is what I like about it but I've never stayed there. Is it noisy? Are there quiet "interior" or backside rooms? (I'm a light sleeper, once I finally do get around to using the bed for sleep...)

I have stayed at the La Gran Via and although the "ambiance" of the lobby leaves much to be desired, I found the rooms very nice, quiet, and clean enough, and I like the free breakfast, and I found the desk clerks to be honest and helpful.

Anyone have an opinion on which of these is best? Please say why.

Also, I'm open to other possibilities in this price range.

the big thing i didnt like about rummy....is the dealer waits to take his hole card AFTER the last player is done hitting...if you have played alot of blackjack , you are now having to think about that last move also...when the dealer has a ace up....its seems like a 80% chance they will have bj...i have won at the bm..playing rummy but just go across the street or next door and you will find blackjack....my first 2 trips i got killed in everytype of gambling..either bj, rummy, dice, or sportsook...didnt matter i lost...however my last 2 trips were much better i like to play caribbeen stud porker at the b.m. its cheap and fun and on my last trip i hit 4 nines ...easy game to make friends and drink free...and you can make some cash at it....thedifference in costa rica....forget about comps.....very hard to get ...most i got , besides free drinks ...when i buy in at the b.m. at the carb. stud poker with 100.00 they will give me 1000c (about 2.00) for the bonus game ...when i got the 4 nines and took about 2000.00 us off the table and quit for the nite the gang of pit bosses were not to happy to say the least ...since i been drinking ...they guessed i stay on the tables and raise my bets ...but i knew it would never get any better than that hand...so that was the nite and the only time in my 4 trips that i spent more than 60.00 on one girl ..i spent 100.00 and i must say she was worth it.....

I'm delighted to hear that Club Kamur is under new ownership and has instituted set rates for onsite chica sessions: $50 an hour for the lady and $25 for the room. I even hear they have re-installed actual beds in the rooms! I think these prices are fair for a strip club, even in San Jose.

I am not sure about this since I paid more than that at Kamur last night to party with one of the dancers, Roxanne. The house charged 50,000 colones and Roxanne 20,000 colones, about $140. This was for a room with a queen sized bed, television, bar, bathroom with shower. The $75 is probably for a room with only a couch or else I got my a** reamed big time.

In retrospect, I had one of my better sessions on this trip last night and, conversationally, she is pretty fun to talk, having a wide range of interest and a great personality. For those who are Spanish speaking challenged there is a tall girl working there named Monica who is bilingual since she is an American from LA.

There is a game called Rummy played in CR that is similar to Black jack. There are some basic differences. A black jack will pay one to one, if you make a 3 card strait or 3 of the same pays 3 to 1 (or 5 to 1 ??), you can hit after splitting aces, and you can surrender. There are few casinos you can play regular Black Jack (not Rummy) just ask the dealer. I know that at Fiesta Casino (by presidente hotel), Colonial Casino (by Del Rey), Hotel Costa Rica, and Paradiso Casino, regular Black Jack is available. Just try to be with the least number of people at the table as possible because even the basic strategy is forein for most Tico players and "uninteligent" plays are very common.

Happy huntings........

[Bandy]

The payment is even money for BJ.

I have seen people splitting 10's not only in Costa Rica, but also in Vegas, Atlantic City and anywhere and everywhere. There is no shortage of stupid people.

[Jaimito Cartero]

I never saw this anywhere before but I saw guys splitting 10's in blackjack in costa rica??? very weird.

You haven't played in Vegas very much, have you? I see this way too frequently, and it drives me crazy. Most of the variants of Blackjack that I've seen in CR are a slightly different game. (Rummy, perhaps?) I don't know if they pay 3-2 for a BJ or not. I know they pay you extra for 3 7's, and have some other weird payouts.

[Mr Jetsetter]

I think it is great that CRT and the merits of its VIP membership can be so freely discussed on this ISG board. I highly recommend becoming a CRT member even if one is only planning a single trip to San Jose. Chase Star is absolutely correct -- CRT discount savings can easily offset annual membership costs in one single trip. Chase Star and R Brandon are prime examples of people who post valuable advice and info on both the CRT and ISG boards, and we all benefit. I have been an ISG member for three years and a CRT member for a little over one, and I'm a big fan of both boards.

I'm hitting San Jose next week for 8 days and will post my experiences. I'm delighted to hear that Club Kamur is under new ownership and has instituted set rates for onsite chica sessions: $50 an hour for the lady and $25 for the room. I even hear they have re-installed actual beds in the rooms! I think these prices are fair for a strip club, even in San Jose.

[Prolijo]

Sleep Inn is not chica friendly at all. If you searched at CRT, you would have found out the full deal on the Sleep Inn.

[Tasty1]

Always stay in Presidenete. They are booked. Any suggestions to choose between Clarion Amon and Sleep Inn will be appreciated. Read all postings and could not find answers.

[Prolijo]

I may get some flak from my CR buddies on this but to be fair the $75/nt is really just the casino rate. You can also go to http://www.casino-paradiso.com/acco.htm for details. It is a Clarion Hotel which is part of the US based Choice Hotel chain and so has much more the ambiance of a US based hotel that some people might prefer. The casino is closes at 3AM but I don't think it opens until 4PM which might be an issue if you want to get some early gambling in. But then who (besides Nixon) says you always have to gamble where you stay. The Barrio Amon is a nice neighborhood but the Amon Plaza is really on the bad edge of it. Zona Blue is 1 block away, but its a long enough walk to the DR that you probably won't want to do it after dark. It doesn't charge chica fees, but its not like there aren't other hotels that cost much less per night that don't charge chica fees either (e.g. the Presidente, the SL, or even the Morazon most of the time)

As far as the Pink Panther is concerned, the CRT card actually gets you free admission PLUS your first drink. Not having paid the admission I'm not sure exactly what it is but I believe it is only something like $2. Also not sure about drink prices, since I'll nurse mine for quite a long time in places like this. Girl drinks are 3500c or about $7. My undersanding was that it is 22K colones or about $40 for a HALF and an hour and 40K colones for an hour. Maybe they don't watch the clock as carefully if it's a slow night. Para llevar can be pricey due to the 5 drink bar fine (5X3500) with the rest being between you and the chica. Getting a number and arranging to meet her elsewhere after hours may be your best bet.

Now is it worth it to get a CRT card just to save a couple of bucks at PT? Obviously not. But taking into account ALL the other places and ways you can save by becoming a CRT VIP, I would say it is definitely worth it. Maybe not for a short visit but certainly for anyone that plans to be very active there for an extended period or multiple trips. All the ways you can save money are too numerous to mention here but just to highlight a FEW other ones besides the PT; there are even more significant savings at Kamur (free admission and every 3rd drink free), Tango India (free admission and 15% of your entire bill), a REAL 10% discount off the normal SL rates that could save you the cost of membership by itself in less than a week, something like $5-10 off the prices EACH time you go to Zona Blue that could offset most of the membership cost in just one trip all by itself (granted you probably wouldn't go to the ZB as often if you had to pay full price), and discounts at some really good restaurants such as Costa de Sol (10% off your bill). You also get access to their photo gallery which not only includes often grainy muff shots like you'll find here but facial pics of recommended chicas and even more importantly chicas to avoid (one in particular is known for "roofing" unsuspecting drunken gamblers and rolling them for all their dough).

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits is often overlooked. You can get a lot of good advice for free before you go both here and at CRT, but that isn't nearly the same as the advice you can get on the spot by guys who can point out the actual girls who they know to be good or bad. I haven't run into nearly as many ISGers IN CR as I have fellow CRTers and the CRT guys are very often the best for getting the latest on the spot intel. They'll probably help you out if you're a ISGer too but are more likely to spend the time to point you in the right direction if they know you're one of them.
