Posts: 275QR Codes Wreaking Havoc
So, I am in Jaco now after a long awaited return after being here April of this year as well. Unfortunately, the government is now mandating that all persons entering the Hotel or hotel bars, which includes the Cocal, show an official QR code from the Costa Rican authorities. This QR Code requires proof of double vaccination for the girls and anyone wanting to stay and there are no exceptions. So, in short, this has affected the number of girls drastically from being able to come in. This past Saturday, where there would normally be 70-100 girls at any given time, there were maybe 30-40 gals max, and later on it dwindled down to maybe 20 girls. Sunday and Monday were absolutely abysmal and had maybe 10-15 girls at peak hour.
Many gals that are regulars here are a no show, and the girls are now forced to scramble to get their second shots or even first shot and the QR code which is a hassle for them apparently.
I would wait to come down at least for another month or 2 if possible. With that being said, there are always a few scragglers for those that really cannot change their plans but you have to work it and be a little more flexible.

Posts: 72Car rental?
I'll be in Jaco in January. Not doing the typical mongering vacation. Stuck with my family in a villa outside of town. Fortunately, I'll get a little mongering in San Jose before and after. My question is-- are Ubers readily available all over the place at all times of day, or would we be better off renting a car? I know the roads are difficult. I would lean towards just using uber. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

The change in December (or January, depending on some decisions and politics in CR) is that establishments that choose to restrict entry to only vaccinated people will be able to operated without capacity restrictions. But, a business that chooses not to implement this can operate at the current 50% capacity, with masking, distancing, etc. Then, perhaps, if it gets approved, in another month everything optional is to be restricted to vaccinated only.
I do not know what choice the Cocal and other establishments will make. Bars and clubs in San Jose are deciding now. Appears some will continue with restrictions but no vaccination requirement for entry, others will adopt the vaccine requirement and go back to normal 100%.

Once you arrive, pack your patience as it was over an hour to get through immigration with at least 3 check points for your QR code. They don't actually scan it until you get to the immigration desk.
Another observation is that I am amazed at how much English proficiency has improved. My Spanish sucks but I'm finding a lot of bartenders and staff that can speak English. Tons of Ex-pats living here. Enjoy!

Posts: 275GREAT NEWS- CURFEW GONE December 1
My buddies and I will be in Jaco Dec 4-12. I understand per the hotel Cocal front desk that the curfew will be back to normal or pre-Covid times beginning December 1. So bars, restaurants will close late. You do need a vaccination proof though to get into the bars, restaurants, etc. I also confirmed this with my friend who lives there part time.

Posts: 10Naive question
I am going in 2 weeks to CR for the first time. Kind of naive question: can / should I use $$ there or I have to change those to a local currency. Also, any helpful advice on what to do outside mongering in Jaco would be greatly appreciated.

Posts: 275Good news - 10 pm curfew now
Hello Gentlemen,
I just confirmed the curfew at the Cocal bar and other nightlife is now at 10 pm. Also, the front door person told me that if numbers stay low they will be allowed to stay open until 11 pm starting in November. This is great news.

Posts: 2759 PM Curfew Still
I just called the Cocal and the curfew is still at 9 pm sharp with no after hours party at the adjacent Monaco condo. Looks like we will not be going back soon until this changes. That curfew is just too early.
