Jaco / Jaco Beach

[Psychman]

I believe I have to somewhat respectfully disagree with Onibmab. I really can't see how Europe is cheaper. Airfare from Chicago to SJO is $384. From Houston $554 from Miami around $300, L. A. About $550. What is the price of airfare are. T. Form the USA to Copenhagen? How long does it take you to get there? Jet lag is involved. Costa Rica is on mountain time therefore there is never jet-lag and you can get here in 2.5 hours from Miami. Expensive? Naw, don't think so. It is if you live here but not for vacationers. You can still get a good Jaco hotel for $45 a night. Same in San Jose. Cocal for $90 a night and the All inclusive Amistad deal in San Jose, all you can eat, all you can drink, with your room for only $79 a night. Try getting that in Europe. And the Chicas, man. So many by the pool in Jaco. Del rey and the Soprtsmen still has a 5-1 ratio. I agree about the beach in Jaco. Not a shithole as you labeled it, but it is a lot cleaner than years ago. Not may favorite beach. If I wanted to go to the beach for the day, it would be Manuel Antonio. But let's face it fellows, most of you don't come here for the swimming. As I always say, your mileage will very. If Jaco and San Jose was a shithole, then why do I get so many repeat customers. Guess they have not found out about the Paris, London and Munich mongering. Have fun on your next trip fellows.

Lucky Dog, I respect your opinions here (and on another board) and you give a lot of valuable information. However, I do disagree with you on pricing here. San Jose has become very expensive; ten years ago a great meal at a Soda was 2 bucks. Factoring in inflation, that meal should now be 3 dollars; try double that, even in the Mercado central. Most food is far more than that, and the quality is just "ok". For those who love TLN (all night, or long time) , the average price seems to be about 120-140, if you negotiate well, are going for a hotie, and know what you are doing. Most chicas for all night try for a lot more than that. Also, what "good" hotel that is chica friendly is 45 bucks all in? Castillo's cheaper rooms, Mona Lisa I guess, if that survives. Those are fine rooms, not great though (and I have stayed in, and enjoy, the Castillo several times).

CR is now great if you are into MPs and short time; even MPs have gone through the roof. I used to get five girls at the Dundeon (ok, I'm a sick bastard) for 35 bucks for a quick orgy / BBBJ. The MPs in Paseo Colon were about half price even 7 years ago; that is way above inflation.

I am not a member of the CR sucks club; I will be back in November, and actually plan on using your services. However, I would suggest that the reason so many guys go back to San Jose is not for a love of the town, but for the short flight, convience / user friendly quality of the scene. Many guys who used to go there a lot have moved on to other places.

So, my only reason for writing this is to say, it is indeed fairly expensive, compared to other mongering venues, IF you are into all night, and food and such.

IMHO.

I arrive tomorrow at noon in San Jose, can someone please advise me on the best itenerary to set? I leave Monday at noon from San Jose. I was thinking, catch a shuttle to Jaco tomorrow, (8/8). Spend a night in Jaco. Friday (8/9) catch a shuttle to Manuel Antonio, check out the national park, and then enjoy some afternoon exploring around the beach. Saturday or Sunday make my way back to San Jose. I hear San Jose is bad for having a good time and they have the gold museum. My goal is do the beach, the women, the rain / cloud forrest, party, and see the museum.

Please advise.

Must see in Costa rica.

1. Volcanoes, famous one is Arenal. Roughly 3 hour ride from San Jose. Do not miss dipping into Sulphur volcanic water pools there. There are other minor volcanoes half hour ride from San Jose.

2. There are tours every day from san Jose to see rain forest, plantations, wild life etc.

3. Jaco is on pacific coast. Not much of a beach but many surfers go there. Manuel Antonio is good national park. There are tours for fishing, scuba diving etc. Jaco is essentially a puta town.

No point in taking tours from there to the volcanoes because it is far or same distance from san jose. Many girls (well dressed I might add) hang around bars and the casino there. Some are real GFE and cost approx $75-$100 All these girls essentially asleep during daytime but very few are out and about doing their chores.

I usually rent a car and likewise have the freedom to go anywhere. Many a time I have taken GFE girls on sightseeing.

CR is not all bad. The country has great weather.

Fair enough. I definitely would agree that Europe is more expensive on average in terms of hotels and traveling there, especially in Germany. Although I have never been there, I'd imagine German hotel prices are at least the equivalent of about 100 a night, although that is close to Cocal. But then again you can stay in lower quality hotels in Europe too. Hell, you can even stay in a hostel and then do all "outcall style" mongering.

I definitely agree that it also depends on where you are coming from. Especially if you are in Miami or Houston with a cheap direct flight. For example, If you are a European monger, it makes no sense to come to Costa Rica, although it would make sense to go from Europe to, say, Haiti or Dominican Republic like a lot of Germans and Italians do. Come to think of it I didn't see any Germans in Costa Rica. But maybe that's because they all like black girls haha.

However, if you have to make a connection to get to San Jose and then bus over to Jaco, you could be looking at 8-10 hours of travel. That was actually my situation. Your looking at about an 8-10 hour flight to most major European cities and flights are usually direct and frequent.

All in all, CR can be done on a budget Europe also has the advantage of tons of cities and diverse mongering opportunities. You can go from Germany to Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania. The Europeans are lucky even though there continent is falling apart. Who knows, the collapse of the Euro could make a monger's dream come true.

I'd actually like to check out Barcelona to compare it to Jaco. From NY to Spain is 8 hours. New York to SJ 4. 5 + 1.5 to Jaco.

CR has the hottest girls in Central America / Caribbean but they are also incredibly expensive. Europe is cheaper in many aspects for ST. TLN in CR is not really worth it and hard to get. San Jose is a shithole and Jaco has a shitty beach and takes an extra 1. 5 hours to get to from San Jose airport. It's also not cheap to fly into. Very safe though and developed (relative to other countries).

I enjoyed my time there and thought the women were gorgeous but I wouldn't go unless I had a really big budget and didn't care.

This webcam is from Playa Hermosa. 10 minutes min south of Jaco. Of course only good 6 to 6:30, sunrise to sunset. You'll be able to monitor the weather and see for yourself what the weather is like. I looked at it at 0840 CR time today and it was mostly cloudy with no sun. But not raining, guys surfing.

It's going to rain Sept thru early December sometime during the day, a. M or p. M, or maybe all day, or maybe off and on all day, and often all evening into the night. Sometimes hard, sometimes very very hard. When it is not raining, periods of sun but usually partly to mostly cloudy all day, sun in and out. 5 minutes. 20 minutes. The rare days when it is full sun for long periods are few.

When I am in Jaco in the green season, I'll set on my deck when it is pouring and admire it, never saw rain like that where I am from.

Still a lot of fun to be had but don't count on getting tan and keep a loose schedule for getting things done.

When I hear monger compare Costa Rica to another country based on price and the quality / beauty of the women it's always Colombia and not the D. R.

So, don't sell Costa Rica Short. It's still one of the top sex tourist countries in the world. Don't knock them until you've tried them.

Just to remind everyone that the rainy season, is not like the monsoon season like in S. E. Asia.

I've been during the rainy season. There were times when everything was wet and gloomy. I've also been during the dry season and the weather was a lot better. You never know how much rain you are going to get, but why take that chance when I can go after the rainy season when its much less of an issue?

September through mid November is the rainiest time of the year. http://gocentralamerica.about.com/od...Costa-Rica.htm

Hello all

Planning a trip to CR next month. Has anyone used JacoVIP to handle lodging, transportation services? Any experiences with them would be greatly appreciated.

[One Lucky Dogg]

Good reporting and pics. I plan on hitting CR when the rainy season is over.

Just to remind everyone that the rainy season, is not like the monsoon season like in S. E. Asia. Most days are like this. Mornings are beautiful and clear. Starts clouding up at 11-12. By 2 the showers hit until 4-5. 6 pm beautiful postcard sunset on the beach. The last week, we have had very little rain. Sept. And Oct. Are out rainiest months. The greatest thing about the green season is, less tourist and better prices on everything, including the ladies. I will say the last of Oct. Is when we have the most mongers are down here. Keep in mind, mongering is an indoor activity. Have fun on your next trip. Let me know if I can assist in discount rates.

Anyways we ate, walked around Jaco and went to to one of my favorite pubs, the Patio and had a couple of beverages. At about 7 pm we headed back to the Cocal. Just as always, the parade of women started to flow in. One right after another. So many gorgeous women. Wow! When we I left at about 8:30, I counted about 50 quality women and probably 15 guys.

I am an SJ vet who has never been to Jaco. Looking for info including best places to stay and approx. Prices plus usual chca fees. Also the best places to find day time action. Also can I find a map of the place. I know alot of this has been posted but there seems to have been a lot of changes and I am looking for current info.

Here's my advise. Keep in mind that I transport gringos to a from Jaco 2-4 times a week and San Jose every day of the week. Jaco is best Thurs, Friday and Saturday nights for mongering. There is more to do non mongering in Jaco. So, if you want to go to Manuel Antonio, (highly recommended and listed as the best beach in all of Central America) do it. You will be glad you did. Hire a personal Manuel Antonio tour guide, it will set you back all of $20, well worth it. White water rafting, ATV tours, horse back rides, fishing is all right there in Jaco. If by chance you are only interested in the chicas day and night, then stay in San Jose. The are 100 day time M. P's for the partaking, Jaco has none. Day trips out of San Jose include, Volcano's, Waterfalls, butterfly gardens, coffee plantations and museums. To each their own. I like both places and suggest you go to both places to see what you prefer. If I can assist you further, please do not hesitate in letting me know.

I had the pleasure of taking one of our ISG brothers to Jaco and to the Cocal hotel & Casino today and what a great trip. I usually have 3-4 trips per week to Jaco but I really have not been there for the night action. Again, the Cocal did not disappoint. A few girls were there when we arrived at 4:30 so we opted to get something to eat. We headed over to Los Amigos for an early dinner and I had to try the 1/2 lb. All american beef hamburger. Nice burger. Anyways we ate, walked around Jaco and went to to one of my favorite pubs, the Patio and had a couple of beverages. At about 7 pm we headed back to the Cocal. Just as always, the parade of women started to flow in. One right after another. So many gorgeous women. Wow! When we I left at about 8:30, I counted about 50 quality women and probably 15 guys. There we local C. R. Women, Colombian, Nicaraguan, Dominican and Panamanian women there as well. A lot more beautiful women per square foot than you will find at the Del Rey in San Jose. No telling how many was there at it's peak last night at 10 or 11 pm. To me, this is the absolute best time of year to come to Costa Rica. Less tourist, more women to men ratio mean you have the upper hand with negotiations. Come on down, you will be glad you did. I see United is running a special from Houston to San Jose this weekend for $501. 92 are. T.

I keep reading about the "sticker shock", is it really that much of a difference? When I was in DR (in Santo Domingo Area not Sosua) I was paying btwn $60-$100. So is CR that much more expensive relative to what I was paying in DR? Like I could understand if someone was in the Sosua area (I've never been) paying lets say $50ish and then going to CR and the prices are around $100 so basically double, then yes big jump. But if I was paying $70-100 anyways in DR I won't be too shocked with $80-100. Now if it were like $120+ then yeah I might be like wow.

This is the Jaco / Jaco Beach thread. The ladies at the Hotel Cocal, the current epicenter of the Jaco mongering scene, will generally hit you up with higher initial quotes than you will generally encounter in San Jose. This does not mean you cannot bargain them down to a more reasonable price. I am not saying you shouldn't visit and check out the scene for yourself. I will advise you to avoid swimming in the ocean in the immediate Jaco area, as the waters there are virtually an open sewer. Check out the beaches a few kilometers south, such as Playa Hermosa.
