Jaco / Jaco Beach

[Locco76]

Anyone stayed at Club Del Sol condominiums at the south end of the beach?

Wanita friendly or not?

Great apartments and great lastminute deals.

Hi Gents,

I've posted this in another forum, so forgive the duplicity.

Getting ready for my first Jaco trip and trying to finalize my accommodations. Does any have info on Villas Estrellamar? They have the villa I like but haven't read anything about being chica friendly. I certainly don't want any problems!

Also, is this hotel close to the clubs?

How are these situations typically addressed? Do I need to tip someone beforehand? Do I bring it up when I make the reservations? Please advise.

Any info here is most appreciated.

Says on the website taxis are available. The website has a map, or orts. There are plenty of other maps on 'the internets.'

Easiest thing in the world to get a taxi anytime from Hermosa or back and cheap.

Sup guys--how far is playa Hermosa from Jaco Beach. The reason I ask is because their is an awesome flight/hotel combo from chicago for under 5oo dollars! For 5 nights--anyway the hotel is called Cabinas las Arenas which is in Playa Hermosa. Checked out the photo of the hotel--very basic--which describes me-single young guy use to hostels, bareback lodgings. Anyway is much of a hassle (taxis) to travel to Beatle bar from play Hermosa? I have to weigh the pros and cons for everything. Is there a map on the ISG? Of Jaco Beach, play Hermosa and Beatle bar? Thanks for any valuable info guys.

I don't know about what security they have at the Vistamar, however I would view any security they might have as a real plus rather than a potential problem.

Any security they might have will not prevent you from bringing back any guests you want as long as they come in with you or you tell the guard to let them in if they come to you while you're at home and he buzzes you. The only negative would be that they WON'T have to be signed in or surrender their cedula at the gate, OTOH, unlike some hotels, you won't have any chica guest fee either.

If you're really lucky, you'll have a conscientious guard who will really look out for you, although I wouldn't count on that at all. More likely you'll be lucky to get one who doesn't sleep on duty or even tip off the crooks which place to break into. When I was staying at an apartment in SJ, one time I brought back a chica from the BM. Shortly after I got her up to my room, I got a call from the guy at the front gate to discreetly warn me that he recognized that chica and to watch out because she was known to have sticky fingers (tendency to steal things that weren't nailed down). After that, I still had a pretty decent session with her but you can be sure I was extra careful to keep my eyes out never turning my back on her while she was there.

I'm planning to rent an apartment for couple of weeks I Jaco Beach. Can anyone tell we the security facts for bring a chica back to a rental apartment. Are these condos patroled by security people that only let apartment guest in?

We are planning to use Vistamar in Jaco.

We are three guys from sweden who will arrive around 2nd of dec. Please pm us if you want to grab a beer with us at beatle bar.

I've always had good luck at Beatle Bar, leading me to think I was a good judge of talent there or that all the girls were good.

WRONG. A couple beers, pick out a girl after talking to half a dozen, make it very clear I can't have sex without kissing. Back at the room, a little bit of kissing, then: What, you no want sexo? Gave her some money and drove her back. A couple beers, pick out another, but bad vibes walking to the car. A couple beers, pick out a Dominicana, good English, hot body, understands the rules, but just so-so sex (plus fake boobs, which I didn't suspect (beers)).

So I bring her back. Have a beer, make a plan for next night (too old for more than once a night).

Driving back to my hotel (almost a whole mile) the police stop me about 100 yards north of beatle bar and do a breath test. 06 so I think I'm good, but they say the max in CR is. 049 and start doing paperwork. They start by saying its 20K ($40) plus there's a 40% tax on tickets for "los ninyos" but as we bullshit about that's almost as much as a chica and I don't have to drive very far, they lower it to 10K (a pretty cheap DUI except I didn't feel very Influenced). While they were doing the paperwork they tried to stop another car, which drove right by, and they just shrugged.

Next night I went with a sure thing Panamanian I knew from previous years and all was well.

I gave Hertz the money for the ticket (they looked at it and said: I was really lucky, sometimes we have to come and un-impound the car and it takes days)

Advice if you are driving: make a mental note if there are police north of beetle bar. 049 isn't hard to get to, especially on a bad night. If you're stopped, be cool, it might help. But it might work to drive past as well, they didn't seem set up to track someone down.

The legend of this road is about ten years old now. I heard about it when I first started going to Jaco in 2002. Construction has started and stopped on it dozens of times. With the boom in construction in the Jaco area and all the American companies(Wyndham, Ramada, etc) building there, construction is back under way however from what i've heard it's still 2 years from being completed. Hope this helps.

FYI, I was considering buying property near Jaco about 3 years ago. The road was supposedly 2 years from completion even then. Some things never change - and I'm glad I didn't buy the place I was looking at - an upscale Dutch development about 4 miles up the road from Jaco.

Bloody idiot gringo GFE with prostitutes don't exist.

Galitob,
As a discussion forum, each member will have individual and unique experiences. Then based on their expectations, background and range of emotions, a member will form opinions and feelings about what he has seen, felt and learned. Then he relates that experience to the rest of us as best he can.
As the rest of us read his story, we each will have individual and unique feelings and reactions.
As a code of courtesy to other members, and to encourage continued contributions (rather than discourage), try to comment on the story itself, not the person who wrote it. That includes avoiding the use of labels or names when addressing the other member. I know, sometimes it's hard because there are "all types" out there. For example, rather than attacking you with labels that come to mind for *your* reply to Lukasek, I choose instead to take the high road. (I have a feeling you're going to critique me as well, but that will only serve to prove my points.)

Side-note: I apologize to other members who are in this Jaco sub-forum hoping to get hobby-relevant information and are reading this instead.

Myself and many other forum members have had plenty of GFEs with service providers - just browse the forum long enough and you'll find those reports. It sounds like you never have, but don't give up - they are out there! Most of us have learned that in order to get a GFE you also must, in a sense, be a BFE to them. Kindness, respect, courtesy, generosity, etc. Granted, that will not always result in a GFE, but it's hard for me to imagine getting a GFE without demonstrating at least some of those qualities, to some degree.

In fact, and this apparently has happened not only to me, I have had situations where the girl really does fall "in like" with me and then I feel bad because I can't be in a relationship with her (i.e., spouse would not approve, and most certainly would find out eventually!).

Anyway, I hope this hasn't sounded harsh - - did not intend for it to be.

It get me a bit stressed to ask everytime if she likes my milk or not or if she is into anal, cause many will answer no, but it is true that if they answer yes, the chance to get GFE are much much higher.

My little head is the same as yours, at least for the first week of my holiday, later I get more wisdom and usually it is when I have more chance to get GFE.

However for 2 nights, I agree it is hard to get real fun. But I think stay there about one month can increase a lot the chances.

Good that the prices of food are so cheap.
