Ask for the TSM rate at the Presidente, you don't actually have to be a TSM member but you should get a discounted rate.

Mule - Well DG has said she was going to be the manager of another New Fantasy. Never heard any confirmation or such.

Yeah, well the girls are like us. Not many of us use our real names, either. Well if she got out of it, I hope she's doing good. She told me she wanted to start a beauty salon. What a talented chica she is!

[Mule69]

Jaimito...I have had the pleasure of meeting Wanda on two occasions.In July she told me she was quitting and she must have moved on.Her real name is not "Wanda" all those girls use fake names like the strippers here.I was there 3 weeks ago and the NF sucked.There were only 3 girls there behind the window and I was dissapointed at the quality...Yeah Wanda was the best......mule69

Well it's been 8 months since I've seen my wonderful Wanda at the New Fantasy massage. I've tried to find out if she is still working some place, but nobody has any real answers.

I went on a quest yesterday to New Fantasy hoping to get some info.

I went around 1pm. As others have reported, no neon sign out front. They've remodeled the place, replaced one room, with a bigger waiting room for the chicas. I saw about 17 girls there, but supposedly there are 30.

I asked for Wanda and got a blank look. Most of the girls didn't look familar to me. They did open the back, and now have a lot more rooms, though you have to go up and down some stairs to get to them.

I got the 25 cent tour, and then started viewing the girls. There were a couple that went out and a few that got back into the room while I was taking the tour. Seemed like they had a fair business going.

Prices are 14,000 colones or $40 for an hour. Bring colones, as the colones price is over $6 less!

I asked for a recommendation, but turned down the first couple cause they just didn't look my type. I went with Amanda. A 24 year old Tica. Light skinned, medium height, medium breasts, but beautiful greenish blue eyes. She has a [CodeWord140] poor dolphin tattoo on her abdomen, somewhat covering an appendicitis or gall bladder operation scar.

I went to the steam room with her for 5 minutes. She offered to give me a massage in there, but I opted for the room. Both the TV and music were on, which was very distracting. I had her turn off the TV. The music was a mix, including relaxing music and then thumping techno.

I got a so-so massage, and then she started giving me a nice hand job with lotion. After a bit, I had her switch to to oral, but she wanted it covered. I wasn't in the mood to argue, so just sat back and relaxed.

She was pretty decent on the CBJ, but lost steam after about 10 minutes. I took a break and then proceeded to the Y. She was shaven, clean, and had nice perky lips. She responded nicely, and after she was thoroughly warmed up, I moved to the main course.

As always, I asked her how busy they were. She says she normally does 4-5 per day. She works 9am-6pm. And mostly gringo clients. Has 2 kids, father took off about a year ago. It seems that everywhere I go in the "third" world, prostitution is what single mothers end up with.

My main disappointments was the CBJ (being covered), and that she wouldn't french kiss. I'd rate a 6 out of 10.

I would stay away from any rooms right next to the steam room. It's very noisy and a bit distracting as well. I found that the person who helped you choose the girls wasn't anywhere as nice as the lady I saw before. (Heck the old one even came in and helped on a three way for 5 minutes! Yummm!)

I knew there was little chance of Wanda being there, but I was a bit disappointed, none the less. I guess she might be one of my "Once in a lifetime" chicas.

CG,

Thanks for you info once again. I think I'll book the first night at Presidente and then look for something cheaper if possible. They quoted a price of $78 a night. I would like a clean, safe, cheap place to stay. I think I will make a trip to Jaco for two of the seven days that I am going. I have heard Copacaban is good. I'll be sure to post what I can, maybe even some pics.

One minor correction to the record: I have taken more than one female at a time to my room at the Hotel Presidente. I just signed them both in at the same time in the registry they keep for that purpose at the little end of the main desk as required, with the assistance of the ever-helpful Presidente staff of course. Both girls had ID. The brunette was from Colombia and the blonde was from Nicaragua. At that time (approximately 10 months ago now) nobody indicated that multiple females was a problem. I tipped the housekeeping staff and the waitresses in the cafe and maybe the doorman, but I never tipped the desk clerks.

[Jaimito Cartero]

Klyde - Well chica is girl, and tico is what the Costa Rican's call themselves. Usually you say Tica for the female. Here they call a Nicaraguan a Nica. Not sure if the Nicaraguans consider this a slight or not.

I think that there are a lot less hassles looking for girls in CR. Cheap flights, a wide range of girls ($10-$100) and lots of other interesting things to do.

[Jaimito Cartero]

Cigan - No idea on actual group sex. The closest I can think of that I've experienced is the Friday-Saturday show at the Park hotel. You get 6-9 chicas, dildos, oil and everyone gets to do everything *except* penetration and a bj for you. (Though a free one is given away, in a raffle)

I will be in San Jose, Costa Rica from January 2-6, 2004. This will be my first trip. I appreciate the tidbit of information that I have read on this board. I hope to be able to make a small contribution when I return.

[Kool Klyde]

A couple of questions here from someone who is not familiar with this part of the world. What is the difference between chica and tico? Also, for anybody that has experienced both, which is better, C.R or Cuba? How would you compare the two? Have spent over the last twenty years eating oriental, and am looking to sample some new dishes.

Thanks for any help.

Blanco,

When I first lived in CR I would stay at the Centroamericano. Good prices, very friendly staff, and your stuff is safe in storage when traveling. Downside are it is on the edge of a shady area (calle 8), pretty noisy (but most hotels downtown are), and a bit of a walk to the gulch. I never used it for hobbying, so can't speak to whether it is chica friendly or not.

Depending on when you arrive, you may not want to book a hotel yet, as generally you can find space in just about any. Maybe just make a reservation for one night and then check all the places out the next morning. Considering you have a month, don't lock yourself in on anything.

Best,

CG

Hey,

Nice report Exodus, very valuable advice. I'm heading down to CR in a couple of days, my first time down. Glad I read your report, any other advice would also be appreciated!

Will be in San Jose until the weekend, then heading out to the pacific coast. Anyone else down there want to meet up for a beer and compare notes?

Already booked a room at the Hotel del Rey, so you're report about spots other than the Blue Marlin were nice tips.

Can't wait,

Keg

[Blanco]

I did it! I bought the airline tickets for my first trip to CR. I have about a month I did not book a hotel yet. Has anyone heard of the Hotel Centroamericano? If not I guess I'll stay at the Presidente. But from what i've read you can't take multiple girls to your room. This being my first trip I definitley wanted to indulge. Can't you just give the guy at the front desk a little cash, and forget about that rule? I have a lot of reading to do, trying to get all the info I can before my trip. If anybody has any info that hasn't been posted in awhile let me know with a PM.

Thanks gents and as they say Pura Vida!

I just made it back from a week long trip to San Jose. Maverick207, it was great meeting you there and thank you for the advice. Like I said, I wish I could have run into you at the beginning of my trip.

I must say that Costa Rica is everything that everyone raves about. The women there are awesome: firm ass, perky tits and they way they dress- goddamn! I think I may actually immigrate to Costa Rica!

Here are my two cents: The women at the Blue Marilin, are indeed hot, but why go there and pay $80, when you can go to New Fantasy or IDEM for under $50??? In fact, I stayed away from the Blue Marlin altogether.

I went to New Fantasy several times, and it was worth every penny I spent there. The costs are $40/h for full service. The great thing about that place is that they have steam rooms and Saunas. The NF is open from 9:00 to 21:00 everyday except Sunday. At the entrance there is the reception, to the left, there is a one way window, where you can check out the women. They have a website, but it is currently not accesible. I have heard that they tip cap drivers to bring you there - which of course gets gets passed onto you in the form of higher prices - so my suggestion is for you to take a cap to the hemmingway hotel and walk half a block downhill to the NF.

INHO the best kept secret of San Jose is the bar IDEM. At current exchange rate of 410 colones to a doller the all inclusive prices are $47 for a room upstairs. For $57 you can have a room downstairs. The only difference is that upstairs you will have to wrap up and walk town the hallway to the showers. Who cares about that? I went upstairs.

There is a bar to the far left inside Bar Idem. The women sit along the wall. They don't pester you for drinks, the most they do is try to make eye contact. This may actually be good, because beers cost 1200 colones ($3.00) and drinks for the girls are 2800 colones ($7.00). Service is great, and I think that they have the best looking women there.

Their hours of operation are about 15:00 till midnight. They are closed on Sundays.

I'll definitely be going back to Costa Rica. I think it is better than Amsterdam and Montreal. Service is straightforward and honest. At the very worse the service was business like. The experience was definitely an A+ in my books. I'll write about my experiences at the places where the Ticos go to in later reports. Have fun!

[Jaimito Cartero]

Well I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to drive to my favorite Tico place, Vips Molino Rojo. It was a bit after 1am when I got there. The main street through San Jose was being set up with the seating for the Festival of Light parade today at 6pm.

The place was totally packed. Fuller than I've ever seen it before, actually. There was a two drink minimum of 700 colones per drink. They were actually not letting more people in at one point when I was there. Too packed.

The usual porn was being showed on the monitors, and it was dark and smokey like normal. The shows are pretty sporadic. There was no show for over an hour, and the 3 of them within an hour. The show is nothing special, the lighting is so low, that it's hard to see the girls. Mostly neon and black lights in the place.

There were about 50 women there, ranging from chicas that *I* wouldn't even do, to girls that I'd rate a 9 or so. There were from 70-120 guys in there during the three hours I was there.

Every time I find a chica that I'd like, someone else would grab her. I ended up waiting by the rooms, to grab a nice one when she was coming out.

The pricing hasn't changed much. 6000 colones for the girl and room for 1/2 an hour. A little less than $15. I did find that most of the girls wanted a hefty tip to do a BBBJ or wouldn't do it all. (The four that I talked to any way).

One 20 year old, super slim blonde (Sasha) wanted 5000 colones extra, which is almost as much as the whole session, so I passed.

I ended up with Vilma, a blonde 20 year old Nica who has super nice natural D cups. About 5'8", not slim, but very nice overall. In Thailand I had been looking for girls with pierced tongues, clits, etc. Well I hit the jackpot with Vilma. Everything pierced, except her nipples (which she had taken out awhile back). Two rose tattoos, one on her lower back, one on her thigh.

Decent service, a bit much with the fake moaning, but a decent CBJ. Didn't ask for tips, some medium strength kissing and a good solid experience overall.

I spent under 10,000 colones ($25) for the whole 3 hours I was there, including drinks to get in, lady drinks and room/chica.

I have a feeling that a lot Ticos who were there were spending their alguinaldo (Christmas bonus), so a lot more guys than normal. This was the first time I also saw so many Nicaraguans. Usually just Ticas and Dominicans.

Now the rooms are totally crap. A mattress with a thin sheet over it. In the past, I've just found a girl I like, give her a road test, and if she's good, arrange to take her out the next night. Less money, no bar fine if you get her before she gets to work.
