San Jose - 2003 Reports

[CaribbeanGringo]

I lived in CR from 1991 to 2000 (still have a business there) and just visited with a couple buddies. This was my first time mongreling and I must say that El Presidente treated us well. Attentive bell-hops and the jacuzzi on the roof is great (be sure to reserve it). Arte Masaje girls are hit and miss, but when you hit it, the attention is great and I like the cleanliness of the place. The steam room is nice. Did not make it to New Fantasy though, how does that establishment compare?

[Real-Thrill]

Regarding the escort sites. I may be taking one for the team, because thanks to the help of another monger, I joined costaricaescorts.net yesterday.

Opinions thus far:
Upon entering their "Members" section, there are pictures and descriptions of about 30 ladies total. You can see 2 photos of each lady. The description consists of their name, age, country of origin, and english speaking abilities.

If you see one that interests you, you can send her an email, flowers or candy through the service.

Now out of these 30 ladies, there are 10 that I would do, and 5 that I think are 7-8 in looks. The rest of the ladies move slowly down the scale. The web site claims that there are many other girls available, but they don't want their photo posted. To contact them you must contact the board with a description of you are looking for, and they will put you in touch. It doesn't say whether you will ever be provided a photo of these "shy" ladies.

The website costs $54.95 per month! Yikes.

Once the initial email is sent through member services, the service will ask the lady to contact us directly to make arrangements and negotiate a deal. THIS WILL BE KEY AS I DO NOT PLAN ON EXTENDING THIS SERVICE. In this way they avoid the "Pimping" scenario, because you are dealing directly with the lady. Yesterday, we sent a total of 5 letters to 5 different ladies. Now I have to hurry up and wait.

I will keep the board updated on how this progresses.

What we requested of the ladies:
We told the ladies that we thought they were special, and that we wanted to spend 5 days at the beach with them. Are they interested and how much. There was more flowery stuff in the email, but that is the meat of our request.

Here is why we joined:
I am arranging a trip for me and my friends to CR. We will be arriving in SJ at noon on a Wed., and we will be driving over to the coast later that afternoon. We are pretty picky in our choice of women, and I don't think we can find 3 quality (both looks and attitude) ladies, that will be able to go to the coast with a partial afternoon notice. So I took a $55 risk for my team and all of you. Hopefully this works out and we are able to line-up quality ladies ahead of time. Since I will be emailing directly with the ladies, I should get a feel for their personality, attitude, etc.

I will keep all of you informed as this deal progresses. I won't pay for a second month, so I basically have 27 days to line up 3 girls from this site that will have external conversations and keep the deal alive. I will also let you know how the negotiations go. My goal is to get to $150 or less per day for 5 days plus expenses. They get to hang out with guys that most ladies rate in the 7-8 range.

If it doesn't work out and turns out to be a rip-off, then everyone will know. I will be sure to post my findings at CH, WSG, CRSex, etc. I anticipate things to be on the up and up since this is the site that advertises on Ricardo's site so much.

And if I end up getting burned and educating all of us, then hopefully some of you regular CR mongers will help by giving up an email and photo of your favorita so I can contact her. A great (pleasant) attitude and hot looks are what I'm after.

Later,
Real

and, escort services are illegal in costa rico and the all inclusive resort may be illegal too, both under the prohibition on pimping as they define and interpert the law. i do not think the exact term pimp is used but the law is clear on the point.

one all inclusive resort was raided a few years ago. the authorities made a big deal about ****d females there. that made them look good whether or not it was true, as it sounded good in the press. the pimp aspect was played down.

i agree with tasty1 that these are very expensive rip-offs and you do not need them at all.

Both are overexpensive rip-off. You can do lot better on your own and save money. You can get twice as many gals at one half price on your own. San jose does not require these escort services.

Hi all,

I am heading back to Costa Rica from feb 22 to march 4th. i will be staying at the delrey as i have for the last two trips, yes they are expensive but i like being able to roll out of bed at 3am and find women available. i am checking two other things out while i am there, and wonder if anyone has had any experiance with them. one is a thing called fantasy resorts which supplies everything including women for one inclusive price. the other is costarican escorts (50 bucks to join) has anyone used them, and what is one day price. will give some info on past trips, as well as a report on this upcomming trip.....thanks

Hola Jaimito Cartero,

Looks like you feel the same way I do. If you spend a few days/nights in Bogota you will not find many, if any Blue Marlin girls attractive at ANY price including FREE.

Que este bien

Delta has another Delta website only, delta.com, sale to SJO. It is effective now thru June 1. No blackout dates. Not a bargain basement deal but far less than the usual fares. Seven day advance purchase required and stay three days including Sat nite. It is fifty dollars cheaper Mon thru Thursday. DO NOT GO during Holy Week of April 13 thru 20th. The bars are closed by law, and the girls go home. Yes the State has made a law concerning the establishment of a religion, I guess. In all likelyhood there will be a even more terrific airfare sale effective Holy Week because everyone is avoiding San Jose, at that time.
Reminds me of the story of the man who opened a wh*re house and before he had any girls in the place he had to run the place by hand. You will be doing yourself by hand too during holy week.
Back to Delta, the fare is $499 out of ATL on Mon thru Thurs after April 1 and $549 before that, will all bullsh!t taxes and fees included, I think. $50 more for weekend travel.

Get your hotel reservations early

Well considering that most of the "paying" customers in the Blue Marlin are Gringos, I'm not surprised if they do some tongue rolling.

I've never taken a girl from the Blue Marlin myself. It's not that they weren't attractive to me (a gringo, of course), but the value of $60-$100 a pop wasn't attractive to me.

I have gone in with Tico friends, and I can tell you that they were ignored totally. Where else would a really BIG guy get a dozen cute chicas all over him, and a studly Tico get ignored?

Most of the girls there are serious pros. They're not there to drink beer, they're there to bring home the money. It's always better to have a personal relationship with someone, rather than to just say "Suck Me".

Check out the other places, Bar Idem or the more Tico style Club 40, Molino Rojo or 747. I've been to the latter three and had some good times there.

Hello NYGuy,
Don't know much about CR, but would
like to know more about DR. What is your
email? reach me 4strikes4@excite.com.
Thank you, Frank

[NYGuY]

For all those that are familiar with the scene in SJ, CR...can someone provide me with an email address so that I may inquire more questions with...I don't want to splatter the board with newbie questions. Also, if anyone wants info on Santo Domingo, DR, feel free to email me as I have pertinent information about those surroundings.

Hotel Del Rel Bar is filled with mainly ugly girls. Many are fat and stupid (not personable) Some are outright nasty looking and acting.
After the 3rd or 4th mangy girl tried to get me to take the bait she asked me what I wanted; I replide 'Sofia Vergara" at which time she started cursing me out. (I am fluent in Spanish)

Many will not talk to you and just expect payment in full and "lets go"

It is good to talk to the girl to see if she is personable, happy, "into it" rather than give them what they demand and become a robot.

Some will roll their tongue and make other obscene gestures (in Latin culture very unladylike, unfeminine and RUDE)

I think some "gringo" moron once actually gave a girl 100 dollars and after that they all decided to ask for that. Utterly ridiculous. I would not get close to those girls if they paid ME.

Yes I know many will argue with what I say and yes for those people, the Blue Marllin girls DO SEEM wonderful. Guess it all has to do with perspective and relevance. If you speak Spanish and know Latin culture almost CERTAINLY you will not find the Blue Marlin girls attractive.

At shopping malls and associated restaurants and night clubs are MUCH better local women eager to meet you, dance, have fun.

CR indeed has many beautiful and sexy women, too bad they don't go to Del Rey Bar.

The few Colombian girls there are "nothing to write home about" although they were more amiable and friendly, and maybe good as lovers.

For women, Colombia is a world above CR. Smart, friendly, beautiful, HUNGRY and sweet!!

Sorry, but for pro's, you can keep Costa Rica.

Hi All....To any first timers going to San Jose I would stay at the Del Rey as it is the hub of the gulch.Ask for Tom ...He is an American who grew up in CR ...He will set up fishing trips...escort you around...answer all questions.He is a good guy and will take care of you....especially if tu no habla espanol.As for the chicas I was there last month and the prices have gone down from my previous trips.Immigration is cracking down on the girls....Also remember you must get a pasport effective 5/1/03 to enter the country.....Have fun....Be careful.....Be nice....
