San Jose Club, Bars and Massage Parlors List

[Caffrey]

Good updated list. Wish you could include the zona map with all the hot spots (bars, clubs, monger hotels etc)

[Superman06]

I redid the PDF List to make it easier to print out.

Now if I only had some new info of the Blanks or updated prices, etc. I could have added it.

Great list! I'm going in December for trip two. I will carry this with me.

[Bilko]

Pro,

When I said 'those in the know' I was mostly referring to those who frequent the place. I like the place, think it's a decent deal and have a sentimental attachment to it, as it was where I lost my CR cherry, but I haven't sessioned there in a long time.

[World Travel 69]

I am working on 17 counties and their cities Lists. Mainly on Colombia, since I will be there next month.
I keep adding whatever you guys post. But I do not repost everyday.
That is why I ask you guys to help fill in the blanks and let me know what the new rates are?
Thanks

Bilko,

When I said the rate was for an hour I was referring to the supposed 17K rate that Caff was asking about in the preceding post. He in turn was referring to the list that WT69 put together here which listed the rates at "10000c 30 min., 17000c hour" (so I'm not sure why he was even asking whether 17K was for an hour). What we both missed and which DRM picked up on is that those are old prices. Last I knew the rate at NF was up to 22K/hour (although I've seen one unconfirmed report that it is now up to $50? which would be 27K). I'm not sure of the half hour rate but since that had been a little over half the hour rate I'd guess it must now be in the ~13K range (or possibly the ~15K range if the latest price increase rumor is true).

BTW, with the conversion currently being at ~540 c/$, 22K c still comes out to just a little over $40/hr. And, even if it really is now $50, with prices at ZB/LH now running $55 (actually its been that high all along only there is no longer any room discount for CRT) and IDEM up to $60 or above, NF is still a relative bargain for a full-service "gringo" style MP (provided you can find a decent chica there that can be bothered to stop filing her nails long enough to go in the back with you). Of course, the tico places are even cheaper still, but the selection at those are even more spotty and the facilities no where near as nice.

These recent price jumps at the various "gringo" MP's seems to fly in the face of economic sense given the down turn of the local economy. Perhaps due to increasing fame these places have decided to follow in the HDR business model (please, lets not get into that debate again). Regardless about how you feel about these places. Rising prices can only lead to fewer of the former regulars shelling out the money at the places, perhaps being somewhat replaced by "fresh meat" coming in, and more of those vets venturing forth as they discover the relative bargains of the "tico" places. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts on these issues from seasoned vets like yourself (Bilko, those "in the know" know that you've been around CR a long time and are as much "in the know" as any of them).

BTW, World Travel 69, you need to work some of this latest info into your list.

[DR Monger II]

I heard NF raised their prices. I'm not sure how much. It's now 20 something thousand colones for an hour. They always offered 1/2 hour. In fact when you get in the room the girl asks you whether you want 1/2 hour or 1 full hour.

[Bilko]

Those 'in the know' tell me that the NF also offers a half hour option. I am not sure of the price but it is pretty reasonable, according to those same sources.

[Prolijo]

Caff,
See my other post for a few tips on negotiations. In short, spanish always helps a lot, but it is not strictly necessary.

As for NF, the rates are for an hour, although if you pop early the most you can expect after that with most of the chicas is to finish the rest of your time with a nice backrub. So take your time, enjoy the steam rooms or sauna and work up to the main act with a nice backrub for you (or for you to give her). As for walking away, of course you can always walk away at any point until you pay (done at the beginning at NF) or even if for someone reason you want to leave early after the session starts (though don't expect any refund unless the girl did something really screwy and you're ready to argue with management). The NF has a really weird selection system with a one way mirror looking into the chica's waiting room that you can barely see through. I've always found it easier to look around the corner or even come into that room and talk to the chicas (who cares if they can see you). In fact, I find eye contact to be one important cue as to whether the chica is at all interested in me or whether she is simply too bored to bother (which a lto of them seem to be there), and that can't be accomplished if you're hiding behind the mirror. After you've made your initial selection but before you've paid, you can ask your chica a few quick questions while walking back to her room and if you don't like what you hear you can always say you've changed your mind and try your luck with a different girl.

As for CRT, we're not really supposed to promote the "competition" around here (or provide links) even though CRT is primarily just a CR board and ISG covers the whole world. However, if you google "Costa Rica Ticas", which is really what all of us are talking about both here in this forum section and over at that other site, then you should be able to figure it all out.

[Caffrey]

Thanks Prolijo. Are the prices posted for new fantasy current. Say for approx 17000c ($30) is that for an hour. How to become CRT member. If you do not like the girl can you walk away. Can non spanish speaker manage in those places. If I decide to pick a girl from BM how do you inquire in spanish that the hour includes multipops, and just not a single pop.

[Prolijo]

Caffrey,
The prices definitely include full sexo. Some places the girls may try to upcharge for a bbbj as opposed to cbj. You can try to ask in advance but once you've paid there is not much you can do about it. It is really an individual thing that all depends on the girl.

BTW, this thread has been dead for a while and the closings that were last reported are a thing of the past.

[Caffrey]

Temporarily.

Planning my first visit to CR in Nov. does the massage pricing posted here includes sex or do you have to pay seperately for sex.

Thx

[Smokers Rule]

Temporarily.

I hope you know that a lot of those massage parlors are closed by the police.

[DR Monger II]
