Jaco / Jaco Beach

[Chris Peterson]

This is a review from my trip to Jaco in September last year.

We went to Cocal each night as it is the main place for girls. You'll see random hookers at other places in Jaco such as bars, restaurants etc. , but Cocal is the main spot. I was really surprised at the quantity of girls at Cocal and that there were plenty in the 8 to 9 range. The first night we picked up two beauties and wanted to get them to stay longer than an hour to use the hot tub on our roof deck so they talked us into 200 each for the longer time. Unfortunately, we hadn't used the hot tub before and when we got back it was freezing cold. We turned the heat on but it takes awhile so the girls took us straight back to our rooms in the condo. Performance was good but no BBBJ and the girls were eager to get down to it and then be on their way. They were at the condo for a total of about 45 minutes before they were on their way.

This seemed to be the norm for the rest of the trip. The girls were all very eager to get down to business so they could get back to Cocal to get another date. After the first night I'd ask up front about BBBJ and every girl would adamantly refuse, so I'd immediately say not interested then, thanks but no thanks, then they would immediately say ok to the BBBJ. It's annoying to have to ask that upfront and go through that each time but it's necessary. In general I'd say Jaco is really not a great destination for hookers compared to any of the other known spots like Columbia, Thailand, etc. Any of the other places I've been the girls are all about the GFE at a fraction of the cost, but I love Jaco because I like to do many of the other non-mongering activities in the area, Jaco is easy for me to get to, I've got money so don't mind the over priced girls for once a year and I really like Costa Rica so I will be back again this year.

As far as Monaco Condos go, I liked them a lot and had no problems getting security called on us as the previous poster, Eduardo did. I also did bring one girl, or rather she came to me, in the afternoon and I had no problem with security. However, it is annoying that you have to basically register with security every time you bring a girl back and pay $10. So Eduardo or anyone else, are there are any other girl-friendly-less hassle condos or rentals you can recommend for a small group of guys?

I'm staying at Monaco Condos with friends next week. They look amazing on the website. Hopefully in reality they are great. Is it possible to bring back girls to Monaco? We are thinking of having a bunch of girls over for a private party most days.

Monaco is a very nice condo but it is home to people who do not want you there. They call security to complain if you are on your balcony at night carrying on a normal conversation and they can hear it. Their balconies are directly across about 15 feet away. Security has to respond and threaten you. Thing is a conversation with security revealed that this couple complained every time the unit was rented to single adult males. Violation of any of their policies in the rental agreement and management can boot you without refund. About having a party with several girls, they do not allow guests before 8 pm and must be out before 5 am. They must be checked in and they charge you extra for each guest. Meet someone you would like to have visit you during the day, isn't going to happen. I would never pay to stay there.

Some of the guys that arrange fishing boats and bachelor parties should be able to help you out with this. Even if you can find the boat they might be able to help with the girls.

Anyone know of a place I can rent a yacht with some girls? Me and 3 buddies are coming in September.

Check Jaco VIP website or LOS Suenos Marina for boat rental. As far as the girls are concerned you will have to go to the Cocal and find your own or find one and get her to call her friends. It would be illegal here to provide girls as part of the rental agreement.

Do you think it was $150 because you were asking them to return to Crocs with you? In November, it was $80 or $100 but one chica who I thought was the best looking at Cocal refused to accept anything less than $150. I was staying at the Condo building next door to Cocal.

After the 2nd night I thought the same thing. So when they asked where I'm staying I said some small hotel, but was still getting the same prices. I'd say about half went down to 100 pretty easily.

Sorry for the short review, but I didn't get a chance to write it until a few weeks after I returned.

Jaco Review,

The Cocal was lively as ever, especially on Thurs, Fri. , Saturday nights. The pricing was kind of shitty this trip. Every chica was starting at $150 and a lot of them wouldn't budge from that price. I also noticed a new trend of older mamas walking around a pair of super cute, young chicas and introducing them to guys. I'm not sure if they are getting some kind of kickback, or what but its kinds of strange but also a good way to make sure you get what you want because the older ones seemed to speak better English and I could tell the younger one what I wanted.

Jaco Review,

I was back in CR for my 3rd trip earlier this month. I was debating on going to Jaco or SJ or Both and ended up staying in Jaco for my whole trip.

I stayed at Crocs for the whole trip which was a really nice experience. They had a great deal going on which was one of the main reasons I chose to stay in Jaco for the whole 5 days.

The Cocal was lively as ever, especially on Thurs, Fri. , Saturday nights. The action starts around 6 pm and really picks up around 9. The chica quality is through the roof, it seemed like some of the girls walked over from finishing up a sports illustrated photo shoot. There were plenty of GND types as well which is really what I'm more interested in. The pricing was kind of shitty this trip.

I found plenty of amazing chicas on this trip. I'm not going to describe them all but take my word, fun times were had. One interesting find that I'll mention was my second or third night, there was this young tica that was just all smiles and eyes in my direction while she was talking to another monger. I'm not one to try anything funny when a guy is trying to pick up a girl so I didn't really do anything to entice her, but 10 minutes later she is walking over to me and just latches on. I realize that she is really drunk (so am I) but we really hit it off, she was really young, slim and from Puntarenas. Once we got back to the room she went straight for a BBBJ and we went at it all night. Didn't talk about price until she left around 1 pm the next day, I gave her $300 which I thought was fair.

I also met up with a couple chicas from past trips. One from Orotina that I really liked before wasn't doing it for me this trip. She arrived around 4 pm and we had agreed for her to stay the night but I ended up telling her that I wasn't feeling well and kicked her out around 8 pm. We both said that we weren't going to Cocal later but we saw each other later that night of course. The other is now my all time favorita. She's from Zeledon which is quite a ways away, but so worth it (for me at least). She is super cute, 18 years old, amazing body and speaks OK English. We just get along so well that its fun to be with her. She stayed for about 24 hours, most of which were in the room, but I did parade her around the pool area at crocs for a bit where we got plenty of looks from the families there. We still talk now on what's app, she always asks when I'm coming down to see her again and sends me random selfies every day or 2. I wouldn't mind traveling the country for a week with her as a companion, maybe for trip 4?

The girls in Jaco were great, hopefully the price will come down (probably won't) to make it a bit more manageable. There is plenty to do, I was down there with a buddy that I had met on a previous trip and we went fishing, zip lining and a TV riding. I also really liked hanging around the crocs pool. It is really nice and just feels like your on a vacation.

Till next time.

Can anybody compare pricing between panama and Jaco / San Jose?

When I was in Panama last year I paid between $80-$100 for one hour service.

[Eduardo49]

Hey guys,

I'm considering going to Jaco for a week in June with a buddy. I've never been to Costa Rica so I was wondering how Jaco compares to Panama City.

Is one week too long to stay in Jaco? Should we spend the week in San Jose and go to Jaco only for the weekend?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to decide if we should try something new or go back to Panama where we had a blast.

Costa Rica has a lot to offer. It is considerably cooler in San Jose than in Panama. The scene is well known both in San Jose and Jaco and easy to get from hotels to venues. Panama has women from Panama, Colombia and Venezuela. Costa Rica has Ticas, Nicas, Dominicanas, Colombianas and a few from other countries. The women can be from fair skinned to dark complexion. Many speak English. I would split the time between San Jose and Jaco with Thursday through Sunday in Jaco. There are plenty of other activities available depending on your desires to see the country for regular tourism.

I'm will be making my first trip to Jaco Beach next month. I have several questions so I can finialize my trip. I arrive in San Jose airport at 11:36. What is a shuttle bus company that has buses that leave after this arrival time? How much should it cost me?

I want to stay an air-conditioned girl friendly hotel for around $70 a night if that is possible. Please suggest some hotels within walking distance of the action? Are their some hotels that are not girl friendly that I should definitely avoid?

Thank you for you help.

You didn't advise if this was am or pm arrival. Interbus would take you if it is an am arrival. It may get a little more expensive to get there at night. You should be able to get there for about a hundred dollars. Check One Lucky Dog. Try Hotel Mango Mar, It is next to the Cocal and chica friendly, Hotel Poseiden, and Hotel 9. They may be close to that price range.

Great post! Extremely informative and exactly what I needed to read as a first time visitor to Jaco and Costa Rica. I'll be posting my trip report after my trip. If anyone is going to be in Jaco April 27 - May 1 let me know.

I just got back from my second trip to Jaco, last time I was there it was May of 2014. I have to say I liked it better the second time. Things are alive and kicking in Jaco with the action centering at the Cocal Hotel and Casino. We got in early Wednesday morning into Juan Santamaria International Airport in Alajuela, Costa Rica. We had a shuttle driver waiting for us whom we hired and it cost us $100 which we split 4 ways to drive from the airport to Jaco. The ride is a short hour and forty five minutes, and is very pleasant. The weather was phenomenal at this time of the year and although it is in the Green Season which is the rainy season, we found it would rain only about 30 minutes to 1 hour max in the afternoon, then it would clear up at night. I strongly recommend mainly bringing cool clothing such as shorts, nice t shirts, or short sleeve polos. One can also wear jeans with a short sleeve short. It is very casual dress though in Jaco.

We rented our condo through Day Star Rentals and they set up with a gorgeous Modern condo at a building called Diamante Del Sol. 2 of us stayed there and 2 of my friends stayed at the Copacabana Hotel which they said was mediocre..

Try Interbus for a shuttle to Jaco. They pick up across the street from SJO at the Denny's Restaurant. Last time I used them it was $40 for a one way to Jaco.

Interbus sounds very good. I'll try them. Does anybody know if this hotel is girl friendly: Hotel Buddha House?
