Quepos

[Dabutt Man]

Magz0202,

Naomi is very friendly and is a Dominican Barbi Doll. I see here around there everytime we are in Quepos. My buddy and myself have had the pleasure of her company. She is one cool-ass chick.

[Magz0202]

Just to let you all know

I met a chica at wacky wandas recently and I was staying at the best western on the front and I took her back to my room no problems

I went up he side stairs not past reception I was over looking the pool at the kamuk and no one said a thing the guy stopped me and I said she was my fiancee

And he let us go WEY HEY WHAT A NIGHT her name was kimberly

I even gave her an england shirt

And the guy behind the bar in wacky wandas he is cool I also gave an england shirt to him because I promised it him last year

But wacky is the best place to pick up chicas in quepos without a doubt

Or you could try the night club over the bridge on the way out of quepos

Though id share my experience

Get some pics of chiicas from quepos up

Alot of the chicas will take you back to there place but its a bit unsafe

My frined did it and crapped himself

Has anyone here had naomi! She is allways outside wacky wandas

She is small and has a quite petite and baby face!

Post your thoughts

Thanks

Just wanted to let everybody know that La Sirena does not allow Ticas in your room. I was there last month and picked up this hottie at Wacky Whonda's and could not take her up to my room.

Just got back from Quepos.

La Sirena is a decent place to stay. There is a small pool; few guests, at least when I was there; its quiet, clean and well run. Like Prolijo said, about 13 rooms. Functioning A/C and tv. Pretty basic.

If I had it over, I would stay up in the hills on the road from Quepos to Manuel Antonio, rather than in the town itself, which, while safe, isn't as attractive as the MA area. The quality of the hotels and restaurants up there seems much nicer. The beach at Manuel Antonio is really nice with surfable waves, clear water and an uncrowded beach........free of touts!

I was told by one of the surfers at MA that a bar in Quepos called 'Los Pescadores' was the place to meet the working girls so I went there on two different nights. One night, there was a single wg there and the second night there were two girls; one of whom had accosted me on the street a half hour earlier. Neither were particularly attractive and I didn't partake so I didn't find out prices. Quepos doesn't seem like a monger's kind of place.

The surfer also mentioned 'Las Sirenas' which Prolijo correctly stated is a strip club on the road from Quepos to Manuel Antonio (distance:7km), but he said that he lived nearby, knew the place, and that the girls in Las Sirenas asked for $300us for an encounter. I never tried this place. Honestly, with the heat and surfing and white water rafting, I didn't have the energy for any other activities.


The heat was incredible. I'll guess it was over 90 every day with humidity to match. Quite uncomfortable. Being so close to the Equator, the locals refer to 'Dry and Wet season' rather than summer, winter etc. Depending on who you talk to, some say that the weather is ok from April to December: others say it is hot all year round. Then another told me that in Guanacaste, up north, it was drier. So I'm not sure. But it was damn hot. San Jose, was cool and comfortable, with an even nicer climate than Medellin in my opinion.

From San Jose to Quepos I took the bus, just to see the topography. At one point we crossed a bridge over a river and there were some large crocodiles lurking down below. Quite a sight!

On the way back, rather than take a four-five hour ride, I took the plane with Sansa Air which is a twelve seater with one propellor. The wind was incredible and even though the flight was only twenty minutes, we were bounced all over the sky...........I didn't think we'd make it! Dropping, dipping sideways... unbelievable! And this in a plane about the same size as an SUV! When we landed, the winds at the airport in San Jose were very strong making landing difficult. I was assured by a fellow passenger that this was a rare occurrence.

Some impressions of Costa Rica as it was my first visit:

The people are very friendly and the standard of living is quite high. Not even once did I detect an 'us and them' mentality when it came to how the local people deal with the foreigners. The Costa Ricans seem at peace and tranquil.

There is an amazing amount of things to do including, snorkeling; diving; surfing; jungle tours; white water rafting; animals to see; ultralighting............all withing a small area.

The local women are quite beautiful and very approachable, and many people speak English.....unusual for a Latin country.

The downside was the extreme heat on the Pacific coast.

I'll be there for three days and will be glad to post my impressions of Quepos and La Sirena.

[Dgfd]

Don, would you please post about the hotel after your stay. I prefer down at the beach but downtown Quepos does have some advantages.

Thanks

[Dgfd]

Please post on what u think of the place when you can. I think you might like staying nearer the beach than in town, but it has some advantages.

[Prolijo]

I believe the place you're referring to is La Sirena not Las Sirenas. Big difference. Its a small little (14 room) boutique hotel located in the center of Quepos. Las Sirenas is located way out on the outskirts of Quepos.

[Dashing Don]

Fellas, I've just booked my first trip to CR in January and arranged a hotel in Quepos through Tico Travel, Fort Lauderdale; my first time booking with them.
They put me in a hotel named Las Sirenas!! Tico Travel is for surfers and sports fishermen, so I sure hope that the strip club mentioned here and my hotel aren't one and the same LOL

I agree that you and I think differently about things and there is nothing wrong with that. However, I don't think you really understand how I think.

I'm definitely not all business, though I think you'll find many strippers are. However much many of us like to think it is a GFE, it is still at its core a business transaction for which we as customers try to get the best value. I'm sure even for you there is a price that you won't go beyond. You make it sound like I conduct interviews for travel companions, but I'd hardly characterize it that way myself. I go with different providers in SJ just in the regular course of my hobby. Some I really like, some don't pan out and I never see again some are great for an hour or two but I readily see that beyond the bedroom activities just hanging out with her would get taxing and some I just know from talking to them as people that an extended trip probably isn't in the cards (often because of their family responsibilities). Thats all fine because I'll either enjoy my time with them while in SJ or not. If they fall into the first category I might invite them on a extended trip either on that trip or filed away as a possibility on my next trip. I won't invite an untried provider (one I've never even had an hour session with) or one who I don't get the right vibe from. Its nothing as calculating as you depict and its not foolproof but it radically reduces that risk you spoke of.

You live in a city and so after visiting SJ once don't need to see it again. Using that logic, why keep returning to CR at all? I don't go to Quepos as often as I go to SJ but I've also been there more than once. I live in a city too and I'm sure SJ is not exactly like either of our hometowns. But its fair to say that SJ is not the highlight of most peoples trips to CR. That's why I usually use SJ as a base for visiting other parts of CR so that I can enjoy the better nightlife that it has and certainly the much better mongering while still being able to visit the country by day. I don't know exactly where you live but another point that makes each of our viewpoints right for each of us may be where each of us live. I live in Florida which has plenty of fun and sun and can go to the beach any day I want to. I definitely prefer the mountains and the cloudforests in CR which I definitely don't have back home.

You'd much rather fly solo and overpay when you get there. I have no problem flying solo and often do but I see no need to overpay when I get there. I can easily live without mongering every single night if the economics aren't right. After all I do that all the time back here in the states, as I'm sure you do too, and I see no need to monger just because I'm in CR if the advantages of mongering in CR aren't present where I happen to be. I go to CR for more than just mongering. When I'm in someplace like SJ or even Jaco, I'll take full advantage of the mongering opportunities. If I'm heading someplace else that doesn't have the same wealth of opportunities I'll take some along if the conditions are conducive to that or I'll go alone and forego of mongering for a little while with no problem.

[Samuel Heintz]

All valid points. I think we think about it different ways. You are all business I am more of a laid back hobbiest. Plus I live in a city so after visiting SJ once I don't need to see it again. I would rather head right down to Quepos/MA and enjoy the sun, fun and nightlife. Also, the last thing I can see myself doing is evaluating whether or not a provider and I are compatible enough to take with me. Much rather fly solo and overpay when I get there. It is more of a spontaneous thing for me as some nights i get the urge and I go for it.

I do you see your point but they just aren't relevant to me.

I'm sorry. I can appreciate your post as a warning on some place to avoid when going to Quepos but I just don't buy your rationalizations/excuses trying to justify it as a realistic and viable option.

a) "it costs a lot of money to nail strippers", yeah if they're good looking. Mediocre strippers like you described can be had for a helluva lot less in SJ. Even better ones than you described can be had for less. So if paying the stripper premium is worth it at all it is much more worthwhile in SJ.

b) "in a resort area it is always going to be pricey" if true is just another reason not to even bother with it in a resort area.

c) "in quepos there are not many". not sure what you mean by that. In SJ, its not 1000's of "girls providing which drives the price down". The SJ rates adjusted relative to the local average wage is not that different from prices in the US. If anything it is driven up by 1000's of gringo guys. You said there were 10 girls there. How many gringos? What was the ratio? I'm guessing no worse than in SJ and probably better. It wouldn't even surprise me if you were the only gringo (ie the only person that could afford that $200 rate) in that place while you were there. Sure, Quepos has wealthy tourists but how many of them bother with the seedy local adult nightlife? What it comes down to is that Quepos is not a location that either chicas or gringos generally go to for mongering, resort or not.

d) Not only do people not "go to Quepos solely for mongering", nearly all don't go to Quepos at ALL for mongering. They go to Quepos completely for other reasons and if some monger at all it is an completely an extra that most choose not to stomach.

e) Bringing your own entertainment can carry some element of risk. Careful pre-trip screening and selection can greatly reduce though not completely elimanate that risk. However, whether it can "ruin your whole trip" is another question. If I were in a position where my choice of travel companion wasn't working out, I'd just send her packing before it got to the point of ruining my whole trip. At worst you're no worse off than if you hadn't brought your own entertainment and you can still resort to the Sirenas thing if you're that desperate. However, if you DON'T bring your own entertainment there is no risk but a certainty that you will be limited to the dubious options you described.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but my own humble opinion on this matter is if you want to go to the beach and can't go without sex for the day or two you are there then you should either:
a) find a compatible chica and bring her
b) go to Jaco where the beaches may not be as nice but the local mongering options are a helluva lot better or
c) load up on getting your rocks off back in SJ and when you go to Quepos just concentrate solely on all the other GOOD reasons people go there.

[Prolijo]

As we all know it costs alot of money to nail strippers whether its worth it or not. Plus in a resort area it is always going to be pricey. In SJ there are thousands of girls providing which drives the price down. In Quepos there are not many. People go to Quepos not solely for mongering that is why they can stomach the 200 as it is an extra. Bringing your own entertainment is a risky proposition which can easily ruin your whole trip.

Damn! 20 buck lap dances? $200 for f/s? Mostly 5-6 quality range? You call that decent? I can do better than that here in the US. So why even bother while you're down there? Because its there? Save your money for SJ or Jaco or else bring your own entertainment with you when you go to MA.

[Prolijo]

Decent spot in the off season as you will get alot of attention. Can be pricey but if you don't mind you can get what you want. Lap dances are 20bucks behind a curtain. If you want to go all the way they have these rooms off to the side. that is 200. there are ab out 10 chicas in there most of them 5-6 range but a few 9'ers.

Has anyone heard anything about this place?

Where it is in Manuel Antonio and what the place is like - chica and services.
