Jaco / Jaco Beach

[Stevewxly]

I will be staying at the Dunn Inn in San Jose for 7 days Feb. 9 until 16th, but am thinking about one night in Jaco at the Hotel Los 4 Grandes. However I cannot find a web site or email, etc. Can anyone help me with info? Also, I would be up for staying somewhere else there. Medium priced close to the action, etc. Well, reasonably close, etc.

Thanks,

Red

Red,

I can help you with info on Hotel Los Four Grandes in Jaco, Beach.

It is right next to the Beatle Bar (and the other recent post says that the new greedy owner of the Beatle Bar is now charging guys 4 mil colones. About $ 8. 00 for a cover charge). As he says," screw that ". Just go down the road and go someplace else.

And the Los Four Grandes is about 50 yards from the Beatle Bar. It is a second floor only hotel, with retail shops on the bottom floor. It is up scale and usually runs about $ 75. 00 a night during the high season. But they seemingly do not have a great deal of business. So I have always gotten in for around $ 30-35. 00 a night.

Most all of the rooms are actually suites with a large master bedroom with a king bed and a great central air conditioning system with remote control, good large TV, decent bathroom.....and then this room also has a small adjoining room with a double bed with a door on it - for privacy.

Two guys can easily share this large room and split the cost.
Or what I've done several times is find another fellow at the Beatle Bar or elsewhereand tell him I am at the Los 4 G. And tell him I will sublet the small room for him to take a girl up for a pop for like $ 10-to 15.00. Which cuts down the price of my expense for the room.

I used to have a guy who hung out at the Beatle Bar....... Who stayed at another hotel- down the beach somewhere. He like the convienence (sp) of taking a gal up to the Los 4 G. (my room). So he would buy my drinks for the whole night at the Beatle Bar.
I only drank Cokes. So he got off pretty cheap......But it worked out well for both of us.
I would give him my room key, and he would take a gal up to the room- do his work, then come back down to the bar....and by that time I was usually ready to go up for a pop with different gal.

If there is no one in the office of the Los 4 G. when you get there to check in. Then go into the small convience (sp) store at the bottom of the steps. The girls there most all work at the hotel, and they will set you up with a room for the night.

I recommend this hotel. .........It is nice and clean, well located, well appointed, and fairly cheap if you can get the off season rate.

One other 'heads up'...I had a friend stay at the Dunn Inn last time there.....he used the room safe to put his excess money and valuables in...guess what...when he returned to his room later that night...the room safe had been cleaned out. It ruined his trip, as he lost around $ 700.00 cash, his passport, etc.
So be very careful with doing that.....after all the desk clerk has the keys to all the safes in all the rooms or the combination ------ if they are combo safes........and when you consider that those guys are making all of about $ 1.00 an hour...it would be very tempting for them to clean out the room safes on a regular basis...until they got caught !!!!

Hope this helps you.

Frankly, CR in general has changed in the last six years since I have been there. Many hotels in the gulch charge big guest fees. I hear the Holiday Inn wanted $85 per chica. Sleep Inn was $20. Not sure what HDR is at the moment. Compare this with my recent trip to Hong Kong where I was greeted by the concierge with smiles and welcomes (no fees) in the hotel lobby of the Hyatt Regency in TST at 2am while returning with a gorgeous Viet girl from a Wan Chai club.

Based on what I consider to be the deteriorating situation in CR I do not think I will be back for a long time, if ever. Good luck to you all.

There are a number of fine hotels in the gulch and close by that do not charge chica fees: e.g., the Sportsmens Lodge, Dunn Inn, La Amistad, Hotel Castillo, and The Presidente. It does appear that a number of major hotels have made a conscious effort to discourage us mongers from staying with them. No big deal, simply avoid them.

Was in Jaco for a couple of days 10/31-11/2. I stayed at the Hotel Cocal condos. Pricey but very nice. Only draw back was no Internet. Had to walk over to the hotel to get free wifi. Cocal has generally been remodeled. Regular rooms are reasonable. Pool bar had chicas there from just before lunch until the bars heated up much as Copacabana does. So if you are looking for daytime action check them out. Two pools no chica fees.

Beatles Bar on Halloween was nothing like HDR the night before. IMHO opinion this place has declined materially since it was an open air bar. The music was too loud. The intimate setting it used to be has been replaced by disco BS. Still many chicas ready and willing but I had more fun daytime drinking with the ladies by the Cocal pool.

Thanks to Stevewxly for giving me some info before going - I was there from Nov 3rd to Nov 7th. The weather was down right depressing as it rained for almost the first 3 days, only Sunday when I was leaving was it a nice day.

Now on the action:

Me and 3 other guys used the services of JacoVIP - and they were excellent and I would recommend to first timers who really want to live it up. Our first 4 bedroom villa was damaged due to the weather before arrive so we got upgraded to huge 6 bedroom Villa right on the beach with it's own pool, cabana, massive patio etc. We paid $400 a night or $100 each which I consider a great deal to rent a great party house which costs almost $3M.

Beetle Bar: I was a bit of disappointment with very few A list's - I my opinion only 5 or 6 girls I would a "8" - the rest were the B or C team for sure. The hot ones seem to get scooped up quick and on Fri & Sat things got worse with more Mongers in town. In total over 4 days I had 5 girls and never paid more $100 from the best 2 of the A team and others being the best of the B team.

Villa: That really made the trip as from the first night we started getting the girls numbers to come over from 3-7 pm when they really nothing to do and again we never paid more $100 for 3-4 hours. If you want the true GF experience in terms of having pool parties (despite the rain), getting massages, lapdances and partying with them - get your own place.

I've included a few of girls in the photo section.

I'm heading to Jaco this week. I guess there are no real good options down thre?

There may be a cover charge now at the Beatle Bar....as reported....but it should not be soo much to hamper your trip to Jaco. Granted the beach itself in Jaco Beach is not the best maintained or cleanest in the world...but it's OK, and the town has a good beach vibe to it....so you should still enjoy yourself there.

Look around and you will see alternatives places to monger instead of being at the Beatle Bar.......and if you just do not want to pay the cover charge.....I think you could do just as good sitting at the chairs and tables at the small convience store which is just right beside the Beatle Bar. And then also head down the street a couple of blocks to the Monkey Bar...there is some action going there...and so far no cover charge - that I heard about.

And here is good tip for some daytime action. Around 11 AM till about 2 PM (lunch time) go down to the Colonial Restaurant in the middle of town, and get yourself one of the outside tables (almost right on the sidewalk).....and it has been my experience that lots and lots of the working gals will be walking up and down the sidewalk there.....with no place else to go at that time.....( as many of them stay at the little cabinas within a couple of blocks of that location) and when they stroll by, you can make eye contact with them (when a good-looker passes by). chat her up a bit, and then offer to have her sit down with you for a drink. One thing leads to another......and just perhaps you can do some good doing that.

I have pulled countless Nooners from doing just that at that location....several times....and perhaps you will find that the afternoon sessions are somewhat cheaper than trying to pull them out of the Beatle Bar for a session in the evenings.

Have fun..........

The above is just one of the reasons that I have not been back to Jaco in about 1 1/2 years. A cover charge at a small club filled with P4P gals in Costa Rica. What a joke. I pretty much agree with the author of the report above. Boycott the place for a few weeks or months, and then perhaps the owner will rethink about charging a cover to get in.

I think the former owner who sold the Beatle Bar to the current owner really made him (them) pay thru the nose. So perhaps he is just trying to recoup some of his money. But if one wanted a cool bar / hangout for gringos in Jaco. Why pay a real big price to buy the Beatle Bar. Why not just go down the street and find a another suitable building, and put in a similar bar. Offer free drinks to the ladies for the first week of business. And then you would probably have all the business you needed to make a good living. My 2 cents.

The Beatle Bar raised admission prices to 4, 000colones for men and 2, 000 for women.

Three years ago there was no charge to get in.

The owner is a gringo and it appears that he is sticking it to the customers. Greedy bastard. Trying to jack up the prices. I hope fewer clients visit the place. The overall quality of the woman has gone way down and they still think they will get $100. Crazy. Fewer gringos coming to Jaco. Don't ever pay $100. I always pay $60 or less for one hour.

aBusiness is down all across Jaco. I say protest the place. Someone else should come to town and open up a place that does not charge a cover.

Missed Saturday the 30th in Beatle. I heard it was rocking. Went last night and there were some girls dressed up. Pretty hot. Catwoman, sexy nurses, hot costumes. Too bad I missed Saturday.

Next week I will be in Jaco for some days.

Does anybody know a good hotel with swimmingpool near by the beatle bar?

Thanks!

I went to the Beatle Bar on 10/3 and 10/4, each night about 10. 11 PM, the bar was crowded, about 60 girls and about 10 guys. For me, I would not want to bring a girl to my hotel room, when you can go next door to the Beatle Hotel, for $20, for an hour.

The Beatle Hotel has mirrors above the bed, rooms are clean and quiet.

Sure were a large variety to choose from; didn't see any 9's or 10's but not many worse than a 6. I was happy with Adrianna, Nica, a little aggressive but not in a bad way.
