Thinking about meeting a friend in San Jose for New Years 2014. Has anyone been there before for New Years? Are the ladies still around, are things open?

Thanks for any information.

Thanks Chris, this is excellent info and makes my decision a no-brainer.

Will be posting next in Colombia forum.

1.) Just returend from a six day trip to CR. Split my time between Jaco and SJ. It only rained two days while I was in country and both times only for a little while. Jaco was warm and sunny almost every day I was there.

2.) $40 to $50 not even close, Jaco chicas all start out asking for $150. And many have that hardened "you're lucky I'm even considering talking to you" attitude. In Jaco I paid anywhere from $80 to $100 for short time had a few that would not budge from $150, turned their nose up and walked away when I offered $100. In SJ all chicas start out asking for $100 I paid anywhere from $60 to $80 attitudes and service where a little better in SJ than Jaco. Every girl and I mean every girl I had in Jaco wanted to be paid first and with every girl I had in Jaco it was a five to fifteen minute debate about getting paid first. I had three chicas leave because I would not pay first, I never pay upfront and you should never pay up front. There are some attractive women at both Jaco and SJ but in my opinion many of the women in the DR are just as equally attractive.

So far this year I've gone to the Philippines twice, twenty days in Thailand, two weeks in Rio, a week in Medellin at the Mansion, been to the boarder working girl towns along Texas three or four times and have been to the DR seven times, Sosua, Santo Domingo and Black Beards, and this trip to the CR was the first time I've had to accept a coverd blow job this year every place I've been to I've gotten BBBJ. In Jaco none and I mean none of the chicas would give a BBBJ all gave CBJ and very, very few allowed DATY, it was a little easier to get in SJ but still could not always get it there either.

By the way you are over paying in the DR, at least in Sosua, you should only pay $40 tops for short time and $80 tops for all night...

Thanks appreciate the info!

October in Costa Rica is a rainy month. I often tell people is to not confuse Costa Rica's rainy (green season) with S. E. Asia monsoon season. Sure it rains but just about every day starts off with a beautiful sunrise and clear. Plenty of time to go ATV, zip lining, white water rafting, fishing excursions or just chilling on the beach. Around noon time it starts to cloud up and by 2 it rains for a couple of hours, only the clear up for a chamber of commerce beach sunset. More common than not.

Jaco is going to cost you a little more than the D. R. You might find a few for the price you quoted but you will have to work at it. I have never been to the D. R. Myself but I hear the quality is better here. I have seen some gorgeous D. R. Girls working here. That might tell you something.

As far as petite, we have all types here. This is what makes C. R. So attractive. All types and all shapes and sizes. Gorgeous Latin hot bloodied ladies for the pickings.

The women in San Jose will tend to be lighter skinned than in Jaco. Jaco has a beach and San Jose is in the mountainous central valley 3, 200 feet up.

My suggestion is always this for first timers. If you are going to have a week or so for vacation and want to truly experience...

Very well written. Every point is spot on. I lived in Costa Rica for 3 months per year for 5 years. Average trip length about 3 weeks. I have been currently living in Medellin for 5 months per year for the past 2 1/2 years. Average trip length over a month.

Costa Rica is a good place to take a short trip for someone who has limited or no Spanish. Costa Rica's positives are good infrastructure for mongering and relative safety. The Del Rey, Sportsman's, as well as other places are cool to hang out in and they have girls on the premises. Plenty of massage parlors close by. Costa Rica has limited disease, relative to most other mongering destinations, and nice weather also.

Chris. I enjoyed both your writeups on the Medellin and Rio boards. Looks like you are having fun. Good luck on your future journeys and stay safe.

Hello gents,

I am planning on a trip in October and have a few questions:

1. Know it is rainy season right now and in Oct, does it rain all day, or in short bursts? Unfortunately I cannot really change the dates. If I went to Jaco, could I find pockets of sunshine to hang out on the beach?

2. Have been to the DR, chicas go for $40-50 short time, $90-100 all night. How does CR compare?

3. One thing I liked about DR was picking up freelancers at the various clubs, Rumba, D'Latin, etc. Does CR have an equivalent or best to stick to established places like HDR? Can you pickup from clubs and / or is it worth it?

I have not booked anything as I am on the fence between CR and Colombia right now. CR seems to be a bit more established and monger friendly than Colombia.

The chicas in DR were mostly slim / petitie, what I prefer, but I also like a lighter skin hence why the switch in direction.

CR / Colombia seems to have the lighter skin chica, but it seems slim / petite is not the norm, am I right or off?

Thanks!

3.) HDR and the Sportsman in SJ and the Cocal in Jaco, similar to Rumba and D'Latin in that chicas hang out at these places try to make eye contact with you and try to get you to take them home. Not similar in that Rumba and D'Latin are / where outdoor bars / discos. The HDR is a hotel / casino and the Sportsman is a bar / hotel.

As far as the CR or Columbia goes, it's not even close, it's like getting accepted into your local community college and also getting accepted into Yale. Which one would you chose. In Columbia you will find women who in my opinion are just as hot if not hotter, price slightly less to substantially less and attitude and service that is a million times better than in CR. If it's your first time, stay at the Mansion, you won't regret it, it's similar to the Sportsman's or Del Ray only more tranquil and the quality control is great, girls have to be invited by the mansion they cannot just show up. You wake up go down stairs and there are these hot ass model type women purring around.

Having been to both places I would return to Medellin any day any time and already have my return trips booked. As for the CR, only if I come across a really super deal on air fare would I consider returning. It's not that the CR is bad, it isn't bad its actually pretty good, it's just that these other places are great.

What Costa Rica has to offer as far as the ladies go, try both San Jose and Jaco. Both are unique and different. San Jose has a ton of M. P. 's for short time visits $30-$50. Jaco has more activities in the day and the night life is great. Jaco is better on Thursday. Saturday nights. San Jose is better the rest of the days. Just remember, for the monger, there never is a bad time to come to Costa Rica. It's beautiful Latin women, close proximity to the USA and value is what makes it probably one of the top 3 mongering destinations for Gringos. Come on down, you'll be glad you did.

The duty free shop downstairs, as you exit the San Jose Airport, now has the Stoli's brand vodka. 1 ltr. In a nice collectable tin for only $10. A great value for you guys who like a good vodka.

[Jonesie]

What did I miss?

You missed it Jonsie. Again I said on the way out. Meaning out of the airport, meaning baggage claim area. One of the only one I know that has a duty free when you exit. Great price as well.

Happy flying.

[Dgfd]

If United says you can check it in upon arrival at your transfer flight city, I'm guessing it will be for $50 as an additional bag. Just guessing.

[Grandnash84]

As far as what you can bring back to the US:

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/190/

/bringing-alcohol- (including-homemade-wine). To-the-USA-for-personal-use. That's the US Customs website. 1 litre duty free the rest taxable. Not worth it. But, I've never been hassled about 2 litres though other then once with an admonishment to only bring 1 litre.

Maybe he meant this true fact: that CR is one of the few that you can buy duty free when you arrive there. (And take advantage of that-dirt cheap booze.) The problem with duty free on the way out of SJ is of course they deliver it to the gate. If you have a connecting flight in the US, you know you have to thru security again with your bags. So you are going to have to get your luggage and put your duty free purchases in your check in bags..

Thanks for the process of how it works leaving San Jose. It seems like they don't have hennessy white there. I frequent the dr a lot and you can buy cases comming or going there at duty free. Also no option of a direct flight for me, I called united and they said I could check it in when I connect. As long as they don't break I'm good with that.

You were responding to the original post about a guy wanting to take booze from "duty free departure","on the way out" of SJO, his words. He wasn't asking about out of the airport on arrival in SJ. No mistaking that. No, you got caught and now you are just trying to cover your occcasional mis-informing non sense and blabber just to post, really just to post spam with your website link, as many on another board have accused. Now that this board has provided you with a sub category as they have for other serial posters in the past, why don't you put your spam in there?

Really on occasional some of the stuff you post is good info for new guys, but a lot is just not true. Like routine gorgeous mornings and sunsets in Jaco in the rainy months / Green Season? Airplanes being diverted from SJO to Liberia due to lack of fuel? Your "free" rides from the airport "only for tips"?

[The Dirty Pirate]

Do they have hennessy white by the case at the duty free departure? I'm looking to buy a case on the way out, thanks in advance

Costa Rica will let you bring in 5 liters duty free and I have never seen hennessy white either, it's a small duty free shop.

[Dgfd]

. What I do know is SJO is one of the only airports that let you buy duty free on the way out. .

? What-am I misreading something-it's just the opposite. Every city in the US will allow duty free outbound to SJ from the leg that is direct to SJ. But buying is not allowed anywhere in the US when you get in to the US unless you are transferring to another international flight. Just google duty free and the airport you are leaving from and you'll get all the info you need, but no where in the US can you get off of an international flight as your last stop and buy something duty free. They are of course going to ask for your boarding pass for gate delivery.

As far as what you can bring back to the US:

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/190/

/bringing-alcohol- (including-homemade-wine). To-the-USA-for-personal-use. That's the US Customs website. 1 litre duty free the rest taxable. Not worth it. But, I've never been hassled about 2 litres though other then once with an admonishment to only bring 1 litre.

So you are going to have to get your luggage and put your duty free purchases in your check in bags. They aren't going to let you board with that size liquid.

But, I recently had a direct flight from SJ to a US city and a bunch of people had bought duty free stuff, including me. Stuff wasn't at the gate. People were buzzing. Captain wouldn't let SJO Duty Free do it, so everybody got refunded, late departure, and everyone was asking why is this different then any other international duty free purchase into the US. Have no reason why this happened, the 1st time for me, other then it was a flight that the airline had just started booking / flying direct to SJ that week and I think the crew was confounded?

Here's what I do when I get to SJ duty free because most times I can't get a non-stop going back to the US on the times I want. I buy everything I need for my stay, and I buy everything I plan to take back to the states. Customs doesn't care at SJO if you bring 15 bottles. That way when I leave SJ to return to the US I pack all the duty free stuff I bought and pack it in my check in bags and avoid all that hassle.
