Jaco / Jaco Beach

[ADObserver1]

Hi Guys,

I'm planning a trip to Jaco and I've really appreciated all the info on the thread. One question: In the San Jose threads I read about LT / over-night pricing. But I don't see any mention of it in Jaco. Are LT / Overnight deals available? If so, what is the reasonable pricing?

Any input appreciated.

Let me see if I can clear this up a little. In Costa Rica prostitution is legal. (pimping is not). There are thousands of working ladies in Ticalandia. Some are full time, some are part time. They still have to earn a living and feed their families. Their chosen profession does not stop because of rain. All the regular guys who come down here know this. As I have always said, mongering is an inside sport. Now what does happen during the green season in Jaco is, the regular bird watching, butterfly hunting and just plain regular tourist do seem to prefer the dry season. So do the fishermen. However, the Cocal, Beatle Bar, Monkey Bar and Le Loft is still packed with hot chica looking for the green backs or Euro's in your case. (make sure you exchange your Euro's for Colones because the ladies will not take them. Actually, they prefer Dollars now). Good thing is, in Jaco right now you can get some great hotel and restaurant deals, leaving you more money for the ladies. Also, the streets are not nearly as crowded with regular tourist. My business has not slowed down and I am still making about 3-4 trips a week from San Jose and SJO to Jaco. I see what is going on, on a regular basis. Come on down, you will be glad you did.

On a side not, I just checked the airlines and you can get a direct flight from Madrid (MAD) to San Jose (SJO on Iberia on Oct. 14th - 21st for $557.91 . Leaves at 11:40 am Madrid time and arrives here at 2:40 pm Dang good flight.

Man that is a great price. Less than MIA to SJO. Thanks for the pic of the chicas bonitas. I've never been to Jaco but started looking into that hotel Cocal. Really nice and very upscale. I imagine Jaco is probably more jumping than SJO. My question is. In SJO pics I notice a lot of grey haired dudes, while in surfer town it seems to be the younger set. Yes or no?

One barrier for me to getting to Jaco is the long drive.

I am seasoned traveler with 20+ trips to Brazil, Cuba and Thailand and currently planning my first trip to CR. I can probably make it around the end of September / beginning of October for app. 12 days. I will definitely do my "homework" and read all the reports here and on other sites, but the main question that bothers me for the time being, if the number, quality and availability of the working girls is affected in any way by the fact, that it is the middle of the rainy / low season? It will be a long flight from Europe and I really want the full "package" and don't want to miss out on anything! Thanks for your kind advice and input in advance!

At Lucky Dawg, how much is a half day of fishing?

$600 for the boat includes transportation to and from max 4 people. So If you have 4 guys or 2 guys, 2 girls, you are looking at $150 p. P.

Very interesting indeed, didn't know there was so much to do. Thanks a lot for the detailed reply.

Margaya, there is more to do in and out of Jaco, than there is San Jose. Activities are endless. Most of my clients go on ATV tours, zip lining, white water rafting, paddle boarding, horseback riding, surfing, jet skiing, crocodile river tours, fishing or just relaxing under a waterfall. Since it is the green season, (rains about 2 pm everyday) you will want to get started early with your activities. I also recommend going fishing for 1/2 day instead of a full day. The other day we boated 16 Mahi Mahi's in a half day.

As far as lodging, close to the action, a lot of my guys are booking the Monaco Jaco. If you have 2-3 guys, it's the very best value in all of Jaco. Each luxury condominium has 3 separate bedrooms and is everything you expect in a condo. It also has a jacuzzi and is a stones throw away from the Monkey bar and all the action. About $50 p. P. Based on 3 people.

Fishing starts at $600 for the boat for 5 hours. ($600 boat has a maximum of 4 fishermen) However, you can spend upwards of $3,200 for a 52' footer. Includes, transportation to and from, snacks, lunch, beer, sodas, water, bait and everything you need to have a good time. Because of the afternoon rains, I highly recommend 1/2 until November.

Been to SJ several times but just passed through Jaco once.

I am wondering if there is anything else to do in Jaco during the day other than enjoy surf and beach?

Also, overall, which hotel you guys recommend that is close to action but not too expensive / run down or noisy?

Airport:

The airport that you fly into when visiting Jaco is the San Jose airport SJO. The airport is fairly well laid out easy to follow, easy to get through immigration and customs no major hitches. There is a $28 dollar exit tax that you pay when you exit at the departure level. Many people chose to pay the tax upon arrival. There is also a money exchange upstairs at the departure level next to where you pay your departure tax that gives a fairly good exchange rate. Once arriving and clearing customs exit the building and cross the street to the parking garage and walk up stairs to the departure level cross the street...

I have Jaco Beach on the list with a stay at Cocal. I read lots of posts regarding good talent with the prices, but rarely a review with names and specific services. I presume the turnover is so high that names are irrelevant. But are the services pretty uniform? Is it usually CBJ, BBBJ, or BBBJTC? I'd Greek generally available and is there an upcharge? Are they generally okay with the customer supplying his own specialty condoms? Do the girls stay an exact hour with multiples allowed in the hour for the agreed upon price? Thanks for any input.

I don't think us giving names would be too relevant as the girls come and go, and are freelancers competing with each other. Furthermore, many of the girls use fake names or they have the same names. I think giving names would be more applicable to a massage parlor in San Jose or a Casa where regulars work, but this is not the case at the Cocal. Lastly, the Cocal goes from 6 pm to midnight, and the girls are getting serviced very quickly so your odds of you being there at the same time as someone recommended and the other competitive girls knowing her would be slim to none. My suggestion is to sarge up, get down there, and when you find the girl you are attracted to and have some chemistry, ask her what your menu preferences are. As far as services are concerned, it is usually CBJ and sex in any position you want. Greek and DATY are most likely off the menu with the Ticas and Colombianas, but the Dominicanas may be down for Greek with an extra tip. The girls all prefer short time, so they want to get you off as quickly as possible; therefore, I found the quality of service to be more businesslike as opposed to Sosua where the girls will go with you all night for less than the cost of short time with the girls in Jaco and San Jose.

A. T I think some are confused about airport exchange. When mentioning BAC San Jose, it's a Bank, not you normal currency exchange center. Everyone knows a currency exchange center, like you find in the baggage claim area is a rip off. BAC San Jose Bank is located upstairs in the departure area and is not a rip off. Their exchange rate is the same as it is in all of their banks located through Costa Rica. Sometimes they are a few colones higher than Banco National and BCR, sometimes they are not. However, I am not fond of their policies. Lines are long, they are slow and they ask stupid questions. This is why I recommend the Servimas at Walmart.

Dear O. L. the.

I went to the Servimas at Walmart. What a joke. It was only 11 am and they said they ran out of money to exchange and only could give me $200. Their rate was nothing special either. So we went out of our way to exchange money there, waited in line 10 minutes, and then found out they had hardly any money. I would not recommend this, and we ended up going to a Bank of Costa Rica location in the gulch on the 2nd floor of an office building and good a good rate of 546 colones to 1 dollar. There are not very many places in the Gulch that are dedicated to exchanging money (we did not see any) like casa de cambios or money exchange stands you see in most countries.
