San Jose - 2003 Reports

[John Holmes]

Nasty Boy,

Forgive my ignorance but what is a FKK experience and where were you talking about a Roman Bath type experience?

John

Jaimito,

Muchas gracias....thanks very much for the positive report. I would be visiting for the senoritas for sure. I'm a true monger @ heart and the more the merrier.

I'll have to ask you about buying property later, but I have seen on some sites to avoid it because of title clearance. But, first things first.

Never done the FKK scene? It's a modern day Roman Bath type experience. The men walk around with towels around their wastes, and the babes all walk around naked. The facilities include everything from saunas to swimming pools. But what I like most about it is that it is a regulated industry, so most of the picayune stuff is handled for you. It's 30 Euros for a half hour with bbbj and fs. Entry into the better clubs is approx. 65.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the tip on Copa airlines. One more question, did you find it easy to have a GFE in San Jose or do they act more like pros down there? Thanks - Kdog

[Jaimito Cartero]

Kdog - You may also want to check Copa airlines. I think they're owned by Continental. They have some nice fares to the areas you're looking for too.

I'd say that San Jose has the most open p4p scene. Colombia is interesting, but there is a higher danger factor that some won't risk in going there.

I think you really need to clarify why you're going. If you're going just for chicas, I would stay near the action. The Presidente has always gotten good reviews without having the outrageous $10-$12 joiner fee (like the Del Rey).

I walk alone all the time in San Jose. Day, night, anytime. I've never had any problems in 14 years. You do need to use your common sense. Parque Morazon is dangerous at night, and don't bring more money than you'd want to lose.

I personally go to Costa Rica to relax, and see as many chicas as my free time allows. Usually 3 or so a week. I go for 2-4 weeks at a time, so it's not like a free for all like Thailand or Argentina. I also have a house there, so slightly different than most people going.

There are airport taxis (orange in color) that have the concession at the airport. You can also have people pick you up. The airport is roughly 10 miles from most of the action. I think it would cost $15-$20 to get into San Jose.

I've never used an ATM at the airport, but have used plenty in San Jose. I'm pretty certain there are some at the airport. Dollars are accepted quite readily by taxi folk and many others. (Not as freely as Nicaragua or Panama, but widely).

I'm not sure how CR compares to the FKK places and such. However in the 6 countries I've mongered in, it has some very nice girls. I would guess that you could easily save 50% or more if you stay away from the $100 figures. There are nice places for $10-$50. Or get the whole night with an independent for $40-$80.

Greetings,

Well my curiosity is piqued and am beginning my research into whether I should do this little adventure or not. I have been going to Germany this last year for the hobby and even though it is a longer flight, it really is so much more organized over there, it seems to me.

A couple of questions I have not noticed posed are currency exchange and travel to and from the airport. Does the airport have atm machines where I can use my card before setting out?

I'm looking to stay at the Comfort Hotel Real San Jose which advertises itself to be in the business district. I have no clue how far away it is from the action, but it seems clean, safe, and they do cover the transportation to and from the airport so that should take care of that.

I also noticed in the posts many cautions not to walk around alone at night. Is this still a problem? Someone also recommended bringing bug spray. Is that still needed this time of year? And funny as it may seem, the State Dept. website recommends getting all kinds of shots before going over there, but my main concern would be dysentery although several posts have said the food is excellent.

I have read Don Gordo's walking tour and that sounds like a great way to sample the wares and be economical about it as well. Rest assured, I will not pay $100. Too bad about Arte Sauna, that sounded pretty good. I am really more into quantity at a lower price, but definately will not sacrifice safety to get it.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions. If this is as good as Deutschland, then it will really cut down on some flying time.

<<Prices were high. 80 to 100, and it seemed if you weren't an older, heavier man, some of the girls could be snobby.>>

Stern I love it. LOL Bias toward the heavier older men. Well, I am older, but got some work to do on my belly. Got time though before my next trip.-)

Go ahead and pay 80 to $100 if they are dead set on it and it is a girl you really want. BUT, tell them "toda la noche" For all night. Hold your ground, but if they balk, settle for two or three hours, two pops. If that isn`t good enough, then walk, chances are they would have been just as uncooperative in the room. Many of these end up going home empty handed. But I guess they figure it is only a matter of time before a newbie or someone with money to burn comes in, keeps them for a few days, and spends a bundle on them.

Hello Friends:

I am planning to go down to CR for the first time, in January. If you are a veteran, or a newbie, and interested in meeting up down there to check out the local action, please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.

Never pay 100 dollars..repeat this when necessary.It is a buyers market ...even at the Del Rey.Even the top chicas there can be got for 70 tops.If not let em walk.It has been a slow season and you can negotiate,paying 100 only spoils them.Girls at VIPs,747 or Idem are available for 20-40 short time.Lecture over! Anyone going Thanksgiving there will be a monger meeting 11/27 5p.m. place-Blue Marlin tables by the windows...Drinking,lying,best blowjobs,worst fucks,ex wives,war stories etc will be discussed. pura vida.........Mule69

CaribbeanGringo,

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to make the trip with or without my buddies. I would appreciate if anyone can give me the bare essentials: prices, bars, ect. I'll be sure to give everyone the report of my virgen voyage.

[CaribbeanGringo]

Blanco,

Solo is definitely doable...kind of better in a way because you are in control of your time. You'll meet a ton of guys and potential travel partners at places like the Presidente and DR anyway.

I'm not big on either Tamarindo or Jaco--too touristy for me. Which beach to go to depends on what you are looking for. If you want action then Jaco has it, if you want beauty Manuel Antonio has it. Read the guide books and have a great trip!

[Jaimito Cartero]

I'll be in San Jose from Dec 12th to the end of the year. If anyone wants to get together (especially on the weekends), let me know.

[Player33]

Well, I will be out in paradise also sometimes called Costa Rica again in early Dec 2003. By the way, I now live in the USA with a Costa Rican girlfriend I met using e-mail personals from one of those International personal sites, but I did have alot of fun 1st the prior year. I also sent $ 5.00 to the WSG chariy since this site has helped make my life alot better than it used to be.

As for the girls in Costa Rica, the most expensive can be found in the Blue Marlin bar in the Hotel Del Rey, by expensive I mean you are looking at $ 100.00. However, I would recommend that you choose a girl that you like who also likes you, and you will have a good time. Spend a little money buying her drinks at the bar and see if there is some chemistry. You are on vacation. Have fun, I did. Good luck. Party hard, but party safe.

Went to the Mansion on nueve. It has a bar to meet the ladies. There are some transfers here from the new fantasy. Was told that Wanda has indeed retired.

Greetings,

I went to CR this past March, and had a nice time. Split up the trip between San Jose, and down to the beach. Beautiful country, but the girls were disappointing. Some cute, but no models as I found at the Campo Allegre in Curacao. Would I return to Costa Rica, yes. When you're downtown right up the street from the Blue Marlin is Gordy's. Fantastic food, fantastic prices. Didn't get a bad meal in that country, but for sure try Gordy's. Fantastic! Prices were high. 80 to 100, and it seemed if you weren't an older, heavier man, some of the girls could be snobby. Just some, not all. An honest unbiased opinon. By the way, watch the Delta webiste. They always have fare deals to San Jose. And Travelocity.com has a fare watcher that will alert you if a price drop occurs to a particular destination you've specified.

Best,
