Jaco / Jaco Beach

[Plan77]

Awesome report GringoItaliano. Thanks a lot for your time in writing and sharing such a detailed, informative report.

I agree with you on many points, I too love CR for its nature centric trips. I prefer SJO over Jaco for the ease of travel, sightseeing and weather.

I am shocked by your report on putas asking for money to left on nightstands. This is a no no and I recently had a bad experience in SJO due to it. Paying in advance is practically a disaster in the waiting I think. I never had to do it in Jaco few years ago. Can others please comment if things have changed now?

And since you are well familiar with mongering in Philipines, can you please advise me if it is possible to combine mongering and nature sightseeing (volcanos etc) in Phili? Will I have to stay in Manila or can it be done from AC?

Thanks in advance.

Summary.

This first trip of mine to Jaco was enjoyable enough for one visit but did not leave me with a strong desire to return there for primarily mongering purposes. In my opinion, the main advantage of Jaco over San Jose (SJO) and other popular mongering destinations in the Western Hemisphere is the more pleasant and interesting environment for a multifaceted vacation for those that enjoy outdoor activities. The average visual quality of the talent at the Hotel Cocal was clearly higher than that of SJO and arguably as good as I have seen in any non-Colombian or non-Brazilian talent pool. I found some good performers, but the overall atmosphere at the Cocal, the attitudes and behaviors of many of the chicas, and the quality of some of the service often left much to be desired and yielded relatively low value for the relatively high prices. If and when I return to Costa Rica, it would probably be for a multifaceted and outdoors-centric trip, and I would probably do most of my mongering in SJO, rather than Jaco.

Summary.

This first trip of mine to Jaco was enjoyable enough for one visit but did not leave me with a strong desire to return there for primarily mongering purposes. In my opinion, the main advantage of Jaco over San Jose (SJO) and other popular mongering destinations in the Western Hemisphere is the more pleasant and interesting environment for a multifaceted vacation for those that enjoy outdoor activities. The average visual quality of the talent at the Hotel Cocal was clearly higher than that of SJO and arguably as good as I have seen in any non-Colombian or non-Brazilian talent pool. I found some good performers, but the overall atmosphere at the Cocal, the attitudes and behaviors of many of the chicas, and the quality of some of the service often left much to be desired and yielded relatively low value for the relatively high prices. If and when I return to Costa Rica, it would probably be for a multifaceted and outdoors-centric trip, and I would probably do most of my mongering in SJO, rather than Jaco.

Genesis, Planning, and Logistics.

I decided to return to Costa Rica after a few years, during which I have explored other mongering destinations, such as Colombia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Argentina, the Dutch Caribbean, and the Philippines. I chose SJO for my first Latin American mongering trip years ago because it seemed like an easy enough and sufficiently "gringo-friendly" place to pop my mongering cherry. That trip was enjoyable enough to persuade me to pursue this hobby further by trying other places. I had chosen to limit my first trip to SJO and excluded Jaco for several reasons, including SJO's wider variety of mongering options and lower prices and my preference for urban environments at that point in my life. I nonetheless told myself that I would return to visit Jaco at some point in the future.

I reached that point earlier this year, realizing that I had covered most of the other top mongering spots in the Western Hemisphere except Cuba, Tijuana, and Jaco. I had been reading about the slow and painful death of the Del Rey scene and decided to seize the day and sample the Cocal scene before something happened to it too life is short. The higher prices had also been a deterrent, but after my visit to Rio de Janeiro, which was in the same higher price range, that deterrent was less of a factor.

Another key factor was my desire for non-mongering activities during the day. Places like Medellin (MDE) and Angeles City have world-class mongering, but they are poor in non-mongering attractions. My SJO trip not only furthered my interest in mongering, it also sparked my interest in the outdoors, which had been non-existent up to that point. A few nature-centric day trips from SJO persuaded me to pursue this interest further in other mongering destinations, such as Sosua, Cartagena, Curaao, Rio de Janeiro, and the Philippines. My mongering trips led me to take up scuba diving as another reason to travel, which I have tried to combine with mongering wherever possible. The waters around Jaco are not that good for scuba diving but better for surfing and sport fishing. Having acquired a taste for nature underwater, I wanted to explore nature on land a bit more. Jaco was perfect for that purpose, as it is close enough to two national parks and several other such attractions for day trips.

Jaco is harder to reach from New York than many other mongering destinations in the Western Hemisphere. (I had similar issues with flights to other Central American airports for scuba diving.) Most of the flights to SJO leave Florida or Texas at times that are convenient for residents of those states but required me to take flights from New York at ungodly hours of the morning in order to ensure that I could arrive in time for the connecting flights. There was only one direct flight from Newark to SJO on United (ugh); it arrived so late that I would have missed the Cocal action for that night, and the return flights would have left SJO far too early. I decided on Southwest, which was a few hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives (JetBlue and American). The trip takes nearly 10 hours altogether: a three-hour flight from New York to Fort Lauderdale, a two-hour layover in Fort Lauderdale, another three-hour flight to SJO, and then two hours to get out of the airport and for the drive to Jaco.

I stayed at the Cocal in order to be at ground zero. I like the convenience of having girls on-site, as I did at the Del Rey, at the Mansion in MDE, and even at Campo Alegre in Curaao, where I rented a room. Cocal room rates were on the higher end but within reason and justifiable to me for the convenience, and the rooms were nice. I chose a room near the parking lot, which was probably a wise decision due to the noisy courtyard. There was still some noise in the parking lot as guys and chicas trickled out of the courtyard after they shut down that area after midnight. The room rate included breakfast, and I ate most of my lunches and all of my dinners on-site too. Meal prices were reasonable, and the food was good. My total bill for food and drinks for seven nights and six days was about $300. The maid always provided me with more than enough towels for two or more sessions a day.

Everything that I had read about the Cocal scene indicated that it was heavily weekend-centric, even more so than that of, say, Sosua. I would normally leave on a Saturday and return on a Saturday, in order to minimize the amount of my finite vacation time that I would have to use, so the weekend-centric dynamic was not as good of a fit for my preferences. I finally decided to try something different and bite the bullet by arriving on a Thursday, in order to give myself time to adjust in preparation for the peak action on the weekend. I decided to stay a full week, leaving the following Thursday. The travel time was too long for just a long weekend trip, there were more non-mongering activities that I wanted to do during the day, and I wanted to sample the talent pool on off-peak days too. I have found in other destinations that slower or off-peak times, despite the often smaller selection, often yield better experiences for me, which turned out to be true in this case as well (more on that below). Two of my best sessions were on Monday night, and my two worst sessions were on Saturday night.

The Scene.

A recurring theme in the trip reports that I read was that visitors found the initial visual appeal of the Cocal talent pool quite impressive, and I would agree. It was certainly much greater than that of the Del Rey when I was there years ago, after its peak but before its slow and painful death, and probably better on average than that of the broader SJO talent pool. In other words, I would agree with the notion that the Cocal talent pool probably represents the "A Team" of Costa Rica, at least in terms of their clothed appearance. It was also probably better than that of Sosua, unless one has a special taste or preference for black or biracial girls. In fact, I would say that the Cocal talent pool appeared at first glance to be as good as I have seen in the Western Hemisphere outside of Brazil, Colombia, or other places with high proportions of Colombians and Venezuelans, such as Curaao or Sint Maarten.

With that said, many chicas that I pulled were less physically impressive once their clothes came off. I learned during my first trip to SJO that many chicas there had a knack for concealing their physical flaws with their clothing, and it appeared that many of the Jaco chicas had similar skills. I have occasionally encountered this phenomenon in Sosua and rarely with Colombians or in Brazil, where I would say that the girls on average had much better bodies than the ones in either SJO or Jaco. Common flaws included flabby asses, saggy tits, bellies, and questionable plastic surgery. I learned my lesson and prioritized chicas with more revealing outfits, but that tactic can only achieve so much.

One advantage of Costa Rica is the wider variety of chicas from other countries, such as Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. A few Nicas made a strong impression on me with their quality service during my SJO trip, and I had been looking forward to more Nicas in Jaco. The Cocal Nicas were, on average, not as easy on the eyes as most of the other girls, but I did pull two of them: one of them yielded one of my better sessions, and the other one yielded my worst session.

There were some Colombians, but most of them were older, and many were past their expiration dates. I suspect that they left Colombia because they had grown too old to compete there. I found it an interesting reflection of the discrepancy between the quality of the talent of the two countries that representatives of Colombia's "be Team" could compete in Jaco with what would arguably be representatives of Costa Rica's "A Team. " I pulled one MILF from MDE who provided some of the best service that I had in Jaco, as I would expect from a paisa. I did not encounter a single Dominican or Panamanian, but I did pull one Tica with Panamanian roots. All of my other pulls were Ticas.

The Cocal was significantly busier on the weekend, with the widest selection of chicas on Friday and Saturday, somewhat fewer chicas on Thursday and Sunday, and even fewer chicas on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. My pre-trip research had left me with the impression that the action might be too slow on weeknights, but I found that the selection of chicas was still more than adequate on those slower nights. Indeed, my results were better overall on those slower nights and not as good on those busier nights. I think that the higher volume of potential business and greater competition on busier nights changes the chicas' behaviors, encouraging them to rush their sales pitches and provide quicker, shoddier service in order to move on to the next potential client as soon as possible. In contrast, perhaps the slower nights encouraged them to invest more time and effort in actual or potential clients in the hopes of repeat business on such slower nights. I also sensed that the weekend-only crowd had less of an interest in repeat business than the all-week crowd, since they spent less time there.

The Cocal chicas were more aggressive and persistent than those that I have seen anywhere other than Buenos Aires. Their sales pitches were nonetheless often cold and unpersuasive, compared to other places. They were often abrupt, proposing sessions right off the bat or at a very early stage in the conversation. They often "popped the question" without asking the basic screening questions that chicas usually ask, such as where I am from, the length of my stay, my number of visits to the country, or even my name. Chicas ask such questions to assess one's potential value as a repeat client, which influences their motivation to provide quality service. I view the absence of these screening questions as a red flag, as it may indicate a lack of interest in repeat business (and thus shoddy service), and it does not establish a sound basis for GFE. Many of the hottest girls also had unappealing attitudes that probably stemmed from their hotness, as if they felt entitled to business solely because they are hot and saw no need to make an effort on the interpersonal level. I had to readjust to this phenomenon, which I had encountered before but have found to be rarer among Colombians and Brazilians. Perhaps because they come from countries where hot girls practically grow on trees and thus may not have such a sense of entitlement. The Cocal chicas were also typically less tactile than those in other destinations, and some of them also seemed a bit less comfortable with my own tactile attempts to check out their merchandise. In other destinations, I might interview two to three chicas before finding a suitable one, but in Jaco it occasionally took from six to eight tries before I found suitable pulls.

A higher proportion of Cocal chicas spoke English than I have encountered in any other destination, including SJO. Many found it remarkable that I was proficient in Spanish, or that I even bothered to speak Spanish at all. I have always presumed that proficiency in Spanish would be advantageous, but that did not appear to be the case here. In fact, one of the chicas that I pulled suggested that I should speak only English and pretend not to speak Spanish so that I could eavesdrop on the chicas if and when they spoke about me behind my back in Spanish. I eventually switched to English whenever possible, and it did yield better results, perhaps because it gave me a linguistic "home field advantage."

My pre-trip research and reading of trip reports did not prepare me for what appeared to be standard payment procedures at the Cocal. Almost every chica with whom I negotiated insisted during those negotiations that I place the agreed sum on the nightstand at the beginning of the session, for her to take at the end of the session. Not a single chica would agree to what is widely accepted among mongers as the best practice and, in my experience, has been the typical procedure for the majority of freelancers in other destinations (including SJO): to hold the money myself until the end of the session. If I had stuck to that best practice, I doubt that I would have had any sessions. It would appear that the "Jaco Puta Union" has not only succeeded in raising the typical price point but also in enforcing a practice that works to the advantage of the chicas and against mongers' interests. The chica can just grab the money, in which case the monger has effectively paid her in advance, leaving her with little or no motivation to perform well. Of the fifteen chicas that I pulled, thirteen of them respected this arrangement and left the money on the nightstand until the end of the session, but two of them did not, and those two were the worst performers. By the same token, I cannot help but wonder if this practice contributed to what I found to be, on average, a lower quality of service than that of freelancers in other destinations who performed with the money out of sight until the end of the session. Even those that respect this arrangement know that they can take the money at any time, which must decrease their motivation. I asked chicas the reason for this practice; some cited non-paying customers, but others noted that it was standard procedure for USA Escorts, and that they were simply following suit with USA Customers.

I had read in previous trip reports that CBJ was common in Jaco. Those trip reports did not prepare me for the full extent of its pervasiveness, which was greater than it was among freelancers in all of the other destinations that I have visited, including SJO. The only place where I found CBJ to be just as or more pervasive was in Mexican brothels or chica bars, where CBJ may be a house rule due to government regulations. In my experience, I have been able to negotiate BBBJ with a majority of freelancers that I have interviewed in other destinations, while a large minority insisted on CBJ; I would say that the ratio for me has been 60:40 or 2:1. In Jaco, I would say that one out of four chicas was amenable to BBBJ during negotiations, and many of them that initially agreed to it either did not honor that agreement or did so little BBBJ that I might as well have settled for a more thorough CBJ instead. I have heard of guys having similar problems with chicas reneging on BBBJ agreements in other destinations, but it had never happened to me before in all those other destinations that I visited until I came to Jaco. CBJ is, in my opinion, a hallmark of sub-standard service, and I normally reject CBJ-only chicas unless there is something else especially appealing about them.

Fifteen Chicas.

Below are notes on the fifteen chicas that I pulled. I have provided as much detail as possible in order to facilitate the identification of these chicas in person, including photos where available, but I am terrible at remembering names and prices. I stayed within the typical range of $100-150 and fluctuated within it based on the chica's visual appeal, the volume of activity on that night and at that time of night, and the available service items (E. G. CBJ vs. BBBJ). I have ranked them very roughly according to the quality of their service, from the better ones at the top to the worse ones at the bottom.

Paisa MILF This tall, slender Colombiana (see the attached photo) agreed to BBBJ without hesitation and delivered it quite voraciously, as if she wanted to devour my cock. She was quite athletic and displayed more energy and stamina than many of the younger Ticas, riding me vigorously in multiple variations of cowgirl and fucking me back in doggystyle. She nonetheless totally lacked GFE.

Angie This busty white (r) Tica (see the photo) said that she wanted to do "delicious things" (in English) to my cock and definitely delivered in that regard. She had a tongue piercing and used it, her tongue in general, and her lips to maximum effect. She rode my cock well and provided a bit of GFE.

Anna This petite Nica spinner (see the photo) distinguished herself by pulling me aside to the quieter oceanfront patio for our interview and taking the time for us to get to know each other before sealing the deal. She stuck firmly to CBJ but agreed to a lower rate. The CBJ was good enough but she rode my cock quite vigorously and used her pussy muscles to maximum effect. She provided more GFE. She usually sits at one of the slot machines at the far rear of the slots section of the Cocal casino.

Tanny This Tica (see the photo) described herself as a non-pro, and in retrospect I found that self-description credible. She seemed like the most GFE pull of the entire trip and distinguished herself by proactively offering me a second leche. She nonetheless backed out of BBBJ at the last minute due to what struck me as genuine cold feet and nervousness, rather than a deliberate bait and switch, and her lower rate was what I would have paid for CBJ anyway. She compensated for that shortcoming with a very vigorous use of her ample booty and by staying well beyond the originally agreed one hour.

Amanda This dime was one of my hottest pulls from the entire trip. This tall, slender blonde was even whiter than me and had an impeccable athletic body, unless one has a problem with high-quality breast implants. She was one of my few pulls that looked better naked. She stuck firmly to CBJ and wanted a high rate, but I relented because she was so smoking hot and seemed like she would deliver a good GFE. Which she did, staying long after my leche. She rode well and seemed to get into it quite a bit or did a very persuasive imitation thereof. She spoke excellent English because she used to live in Michigan but returned to Costa Rica after determining that Michigan was more dangerous than SJO. She is friends with Anna, the above-mentioned Nica spinner, but I met them both separately.

Flaquita rubia This Tica (see the photo) delivered well in the purely physical sense, including BBBJ, for which she had special flavored lube, and she was fun to smash because she was so small and tight. She was nonetheless totally lacking in GFE and left immediately after my leche.

Jocelyn This white (r) Tica would normally not have been my cup of tea, with obviously fake blonde hair, more than a few tattoos, and a face that would have been just average without her striking green eyes. I nonetheless liked her vibe and her ostensible comfort with BBBJ, which she delivered without question. She was a good lay, but her tits and ass turned out to be flabbier than I would have liked.

Kimberly I initially thought that this Tica (see the photo) was Dominican due to her enormous booty and curly black hair, which she instead attributed to Panamanian ancestors. She is deaf in one ear, so if her speech sounds unusual to you, that is why. She was a very nice girl, but the BBBJ was brief and token, as if she was just getting it out of the way before CFS. She was less vigorous and more passive in CFS than I would have expected from such a visibly athletic girl and I had to do a lot of the work, which I might have minded more if her enormous booty had not been such a great pleasure to smash.

Tica PAWG This one was physically similar to Tanny but whiter and with a bigger booty. She was almost as good with her booty as Tanny but was only somewhat GFE. She also backed out of the agreed BBBJ and only did CBJ instead, but I suspect that it was a deliberate bait and switch in her case. I would have protested if her rate had not been as low as what I would have paid for CBJ anyway, and I really wanted to hit that enormous booty more anyway.

Tatiana this early-stage Tica MILF had a very pretty voice and big tits and ass that sold me on her, along with her willingness to provide BBBJ, which she did deliver, but only on the condition that she could wash my dick in the shower beforehand. The BBBJ and the CFS were satisfactory but otherwise unremarkable, so I finished by fucking her big tits instead. She was totally lacking in GFE.

Busty MILF this one sold me with her enormous and well-made fake tits and an offer of tit fucking and BBBJ, which she did deliver reasonably well, with special flavored lube. CFS was part of the deal as well, but the CFS was lame as she would only do it in one position that was not my cup of tea.

Tica flaca this tall, slender, black-haired flaca agreed to BBBJ at a higher rate and did deliver, but then had the nerve to try to shake me down for more money for BBBJ after we had finished, which I refused. The BBBJ and CFS were of decent quality but otherwise unremarkable, and she was totally lacking in GFE even before she hit me up for more money. She was a seven or an eight when she was dressed but went down at least two points once she was naked, with a lot of scars, tattoos, and other marks, an ass that was way too flabby for such a slender girl, and hardly any tits. What was interesting was that she tried to pick me up again later that week and evidently did not remember our prior session.

Second Tica PAWG this one sold me with her enormous tits & ass and an offer of BBBJ. She tried to bait-and-switch and offer a CBJ instead, which I refused. I reminded her that we had specifically agreed to a higher rate for BBBJ, so she stuck to it but did it so half-assed that I might have been better off if I had settled for a more vigorous and thorough CBJ instead. Her big booty was nice to smash, but she was a lazy fuck and I had to finish by fucking her huge tits instead. She totally lacked GFE.

Busty blonde Tica this one was one of the hottest girls that I pulled, with a beautiful face, big eyes, juicy lips, huge natural tits, and a big booty. She seemed very GFE at first, but her attitude changed in the room and she grabbed the money that I had placed on the table at the beginning of the session. I thus had no leverage with which to challenge her bait-and-switch from the agreed BBBJ (at a higher rate) to CBJ, which was nonetheless decent by CBJ standards. The CFS was lame and she became impatient when I did not immediately finish because it was so lame. She tried to shake me down for more money because I was supposedly taking too long to finish (15-20 minutes into the session), which I refused. She finally finished me off with a handjob; her tits were off-limits for that. She then had the nerve to ask to exchange cell phone numbers for future sessions and acted offended when I refused.

Nica flaca this tall, slender, and swarthy Nica in a gray evening dress appeared at first to be one of the hottest girls that I pulled, but she had some of the worst implants that I have ever encountered; they felt like deflated water balloons. She grabbed the money that I had placed on the table at the beginning of the session, even though I had specifically told her not to do that when we had discussed the payment procedure. I realized that I was unlikely to get my money back if I protested and decided to go ahead with the session anyway, which was lame. She concocted an excuse to do CBJ instead of the agreed BBBJ, and the CFS was so lame that I could not finish. There was clearly something wrong with the feeling of her pussy that I could not identify. She gave up after about 20 minutes because I was supposedly taking too long to finish and just left.

The Great Outdoors.

The daytime, non-mongering half of the trip was more consistently fulfilling. I would encourage other mongers to try at least one or two of these attractions, if only in order to have something to do during the day. Among the closest such attractions are the crocodile boat tours of the Tarcoles River, which is a short ride north of Jaco. The boats leave every two hours or so, enabling you to sleep later if you want. The guides point out the crocodiles, which they know individually, and other wildlife along the river, particularly birds. If there is anyone in the Jaco area that deserves $100-$150 an hour, it is these guides that risk life and limb to feed chicken to 10-15 foot crocodiles for the amusement of gringo tourists.

Jaco is close enough to two national parks for day trips: Carara National Park, about half an hour north; and Manuel Antonio National Park, about an hour to the south. Carara National Park was dark and had few other visitors; it was better for smaller animals, such as frogs and birds. Manuel Antonio was well-lit and had many large crowds; it was better for larger mammals, such as monkeys and sloths. If anyone is interested in guided tours of these parks, please contact me for details on the company that provided my guide. I also took a Monkey Mangrove boat tour of the Damas Island Estuary near Manuel Antonio, where one can see many monkeys, lizards, birds, and other animals. I also did a boat trip to Tortuga Island, where one can snorkel, stroll along the beach, or hike on the hill trails. Also in Jaco itself is Neofauna, an animal sanctuary that also has an on-site waterfall tour and other tours in other places.

The route to and from Manuel Antonio passes through the town of Quepos, where I saw "Bar La Rosa," which appeared to be a strip club or a chica bar. On the way back from Puntarenas (where the boat to and from Tortuga Island docks), I saw chicas in tight dresses standing by the side of the road; perhaps they were trying to pick up the many truck drivers that pass through there. I understand that SJO and Jaco are the main mongering hubs in Costa Rica, but I wonder where the local guys who live outside of those places find their paid pussy. I find it hard to believe that the only Tica putas are in SJO and Jaco.

Conclusion.

I found some good performers at the Cocal and thus had a good time at the end of the day, but I also found more than a few mediocre or poor performers a higher proportion than I have found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere, except perhaps once in Sosua. Outperforming Sosua is not much of an accomplishment, especially when the travel time is two to three times as long and the trip can cost up to two to three times as much. Finding those good performers involved more hassle than I have encountered anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere and demanded more of my chica management skills than any other destination that I have visited, including Cartagena, which would come in second place in that regard. Perhaps the higher volumes of mainstream gringo tourism in both Jaco and Cartagena have not only driven up prices but also encouraged similar types of bad behavior and unfavorable attitudes among the chicas. In contrast, the scenes in MDE and Rio de Janeiro are largely bereft of such gringo hordes and thus remain relatively pristine sources of quality talent and service. The best chicas that I found in Jaco would be just about average in MDE or Rio.

I would say that the mongering component of my SJO trip was better in absolute terms and yielded significantly better value for the money. SJO has a wider range of options at lower prices, even with the slow and painful death of the Del Rey. Jaco was better than SJO only in terms of the chicas' clothed appearances, the overall pleasantness of the environment, and the daytime outdoor activities nearby. Those activities were my other reason for this trip, as there are few other destinations where one can do them and smash chicas in the same place, and in that regard the trip was a success. I knew that I was going to pay a premium for the convenience of having chicas in such a place and was comfortable with that. I did not, however, expect the average quality of the service to be that low, and the atmosphere and chicas' attitudes to be as they were, and I am accordingly hesitant to return there for those reasons.

Perhaps I could overlook those shortcomings if Jaco were as cheap and convenient as Sosua, but it is not. In fact, it was one of my most expensive mongering trips, in the same price range as Rio de Janeiro, where the physical quality of the talent is significantly higher and the consistent quality of the service is vastly superior. The only downside to the scene in Rio is the language barrier, but this experience in Jaco reminded me that sometimes the lack of a common language can be advantageous. The length of the total travel time to Rio de Janeiro was comparable but more convenient in the form of a direct overnight flight from JFK, albeit with significantly higher airfare. As for outdoor activities, Rio has the beach, hiking, and rock climbing, but the nature and wildlife that interest me would require a second leg of a Brazil trip in the Amazon or the Pantanal. In contrast, two Tico national parks are accessible from Jaco as day trips. Also in the higher price range is Cartagena, which would be easier for me to reach in a six-hour direct flight from New York and has a higher quality of talent and service. It is slightly less demanding in terms of chica management but is poorer in outdoor attractions.

After two visits to Costa Rica, I think that I like it more as a country overall than as a mongering destination per se. In contrast, Colombia and overseas Colombianas remain my gold standard for mongering, but Colombia itself is rather unappealing to me as a country overall. What both mongering and scuba diving have taught me is that you can rarely have your cake and eat it too. Top mongering spots, such as MDE, SJO, or Angeles City, may be otherwise unappealing places to visit. The best diving spots are often in remote areas with few or no other attractions, such as Costa Rica's Cocos Island, which is a 36-hour boat ride from Puntarenas. It is hard to find places that are good for both mongering and mainstream tourism, which often do no coexist well; the latter may undermine the former, as I believe to be the case in Jaco. My current "sweet spots" in that regard include Curaao and Sint Maarten, which are almost equally good for both mongering and scuba diving. I might return to Costa Rica if and when I want to see more terrestrial wildlife, in which case I would probably stop in SJO for a few days at either end of that trip for some mongering. I would only visit Jaco again if I wanted to see those two nearby national parks again, or on my way to or from the boat to Cocos Island.

Guys,

I am planning to be in Jaco in August with bunch of friends. Have a couple of Qs.

1) Do massage places in Jaco offer full service, like in San Jose and elsewhere? If not, what are my options in daytime?

2) Checking airbnb, vrbo. Anybody knows any other ways to search for 6 bed room or villa / house?

[LustDatAss]

First things first, I've been reading many, many reports for a while and gaining a bunch of "experience" via the shared knowledge of others. For that, I am grateful. I, too, will share my recent visit:

Logistics.

Guys trip. We all separate frequently.

SJO Airport.

Taxi prearranged via Airbnb. About $100 each way. Very high price but we paid extra for tours into and from Jacó.

Airbnb (not recommended for rookies or anybody that's just not hip).

- guest friendly Claro que si! Inquired beforehand, awesome owner hit me up for contact.

- 4 bd, 4 night, $190–250/ night variable on season.

- walking distance to everything (Casino, bars, clubs, food).

- safe location.

Transportation around:

Foot. Get your lazy ass up and walk 5 min. It's free LOL.

Uber is cheaper, but trash if you're not patient. You wait between 3 min and 30 min for Ride. ($2-3 for about up to 10 min ride).

Local taxi (indicated by small sedans (Nissan Sentra) hanging around almost everywhere) about $2-8 for 2-10 min ride.

Working women:

Quality: ranges from "LOL your old ass needs to give it up" to a 9.2. Everything from toothpick-stripper booty, A cup. G cup.

Quantity: 100 on a good night.

Rates: free (I'll explain later) to $200 (LMAO never pay $200).

Sessions: mind blowing.

Advice: They will highball you. Have finesse while negotiating.

Places:

Advice: Ask the locals where everybody is tonight. As with everything, communication helps if you. Speak the language.

Beach: I actually didn't find much here besides a couple folks actually enjoying the black sand.

Cocal Casino: This is the place where you go to hunt. Well, be hunted. During the day this place is dead, but you'll still find stragglers. Around 9 p a few early arrives then this place starts flooding with beautiful women. If you're wearing your social face and make eye contact, 4/5 she will walk up to you an introduce herself. Hang out near the pool if you're not spending money at the table.

Man Cave: Club. Dead on a Thursday around 9 but elbow to elbow with women on Saturday night. Very fun and lively environment on Saturday night.

LE Loft: was temporarily closed for a week or two.

Black Marlin: Went here on Sunday night. Note. The free session explained:

- Sunday is a very slower paced day in Jacó. Everybody is way more chill. Even the casino! I kept catching eyes with a beautiful Venezuelan here who was "off the clock", whatever that means. Well in my case, that meant she just wanted to literally hang out and smoke (and have some real fun of course). It helps if you're a cool dude. These girls are few and far in between though.

Overall:

I had a blast. 3-4 women every day. One of which I connected with and paid nothing for. I'll definitely be back.

I've been to a few countries but so far have not found anything similar to Cocal, where you can literally sit back and have 100+ girls to pick from and walk right over to your room. You can literally lay out in a beach chair on the property and just have girls come up to you. I'm looking to book an upcoming trip, anywhere worldwide. Does anyone know of a place similar to this? With the same type of relxed environment and convenience?

Have done a couple FKKs but nothing has compared to Cocal. Any suggestions? Brazil have something similar? Europe? Only thing that comes to mind is Dominican Rep but I don't particularly care for the quality at Blackbeard's.

The best comparison I can think of is Habano's Panama, although in my opinion the quality of girls and quantity is definitely 1 notch higher in Habano's than it is at Cocal. Easily 100 girls or more walk through the doors, and it has the most beautiful selection of freelance girls I have ever seen in my over 32 countries visited.

Within the past 60 days. I even confirmed with them via email that they no longer allow guests.

Not only that, but I strolled through the Croc's casino and went to the cage to exchange currency. They said I had to be a guest at the hotel to exchange currency. WTF! Me and my money left that shit storm, to never return! Croc of Shit if you ask me!

Since when is Crocs casino not chica friendly? Been going to Jaco yearly since it opened and they always have allowed girls to stay overnight. They would just present their cdula to the front desk and off we go. When did this no girls allowed happen?

Going down for a solo trip in July. Now that the Crocs Resort is no longer chica friendly, are t
here any solid recommendations for hotels?

Cocal is OK, but loud. Vista Mar is nice but expensive for solo trips.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Would love the contact info as well, will be in Costa Rica next month and could use a good referal.

Thanks.

Send me a PM for her contact info. She's still around ans sends me regular updates via Whatsapp.

Mango Mar was $70/ night last time I looked. It's around the corner from Cocal, and a decent little spot to bring chicas.

Not super fancy or anything.

From what I have read is that the best method is to ask before you book the room. I guest that if you book a non girl friendly hotel there will be some other options such as sort time hotels to pick up the girl.

Do you know any girl friendly hotels or apartments that cost less than 60 $?
