Guys,

I'm planning a trip next month to Central America and I cant make up my mind where to go.

I'm mostly attracted to lighter skinned girls, so which of the 2 Panama or Costa Rica has more lighter skinned girls?

Or are they about even?

Please help me out,

Cheers!

Budget chica friendly hotels in San Jose close to the action? The Nuevo Johnson just south of the Central Market is decent andonly $10/nt. It is also chica friendly as would be all hotels in that price class. Or did you want something a little nicer?

Is the best action downtown? Yes, but that doesn't just mean the Gulch.

Is the best clubs BM and DR? Thats a subjective opinion. They certainly have the most action but a lot of the more seasoned veterans have come to refer other places (in large part because of the answer to your next question). Despite, most guys including vets still go to the HDR/BM. How can you not at least stop in and check it out when you go to SJ for mongering?

Are the chicas still asking $100? At the HDR/BM thats definitely what all of them start out asking for (doesn't mean thats what you should pay). Chicas at other places tend to be more reasonable from the outset (which explains my answer above). It is important to realize that the $100 is definitely not hard and fast. Some chicas won't budge from it. Some guys will readily pay it (mostly newbies) if the girl is extra special hot. But one should also keep in mind that there is more to a good session than what the chica looks like. If she can get $100 from a newbie that easily, very often she will be in a rush to get back to the HDR/BM so she can do it again. That $100 may be for an hour but it is sad to see how often those chicas are back in the bar much before that. When a vet goes for a chica for that high, he at least carefully negotiates the terms which might include a 2hour or more minimum for that $100 plus clarifies which services must be included (e.g. BBBJ, multiple shots, DFK, possibly pics, spanking or whatever your kink happens to be). More often if a guy has any clue about what he's doing and all he wants is an hour he can negotiate the girl down significantly (not all girls, but many, so why bother with the primadonnas). It is certainly not too hard to find a decent looking chica who will agree to $60/hour fairly readily and possibly much lower than that if your negotiating skills (including spanish) are any good

Does that $100 include the room? No, it certainly doesn't. The HDR/BM is exclusively outcall unless you already have a room at that hotel (which I personally wouldn't recommend) and then you pay the HDR $10 chica fee each time you go upstairs. It also doesn't include any taxi fares which the chica will often ask for at the end of the session. If all you want is an hour session with a room apart from your hotel to go to, maybe you should be visiting MP's those are only about $40 room included (or ~$20 or less for the tico places).

Based on some of your questions, I think you really need to do a lot more research here and not just about hotels.

I looked on the site and couldn't find the info I needed. Could anyone please recommend budget chica friendly hotels in San Jose close to the action? Is the best action downtown? Is the best clubs BM and DR? Are the chicas still asking $100? Does that $100 include the room? Thanks.

Had a good time at Zona Blue and New Fantasy last Dec., going this Dec. What is the name of the massage parlor on Calle 32 across from the Manchu Pichu Peruvian restaurant and is it still open?

I had read police were cracking down on crime downtown by the Del Rey/El Presidente. Any better now?

Oasis. Haven't heard of it closing.

What's the best way to handle money in CR? It seems that most places, if not all, accept US dollars, so is it necessary at all to have colones? Is the ATM the best way to get them if I do need them? Thanks.

A few of the expert mongerers here told me it's best to use the ATM.
If you use dollars it it will usually be calculated as 1 USD = 500 colones.
But you will get a much better rate using the ATM. However my bank charges me one dollar plus a 1 pecrcent international transaction fee. I still come out ahead as long as I pull out a decent amount of cash.

For currency rates I use www.xe.com or www.oanda.com

For all of those considering staying at the Hotel Presidente, let me state that, IMHO, they are NOT chica friendly. I was fully aware that they had a dress code when I brought a chica to the hotel. I even paid her friend an extra $20 to let her borrow a jacket. She had a denim skirt on that was about 2-3 inches above her knee. I never thought this would even be close to an issue. When I got to the hotel, the doorman gave me a big hassle. I managed to talk some sense to him. However when I went to check her in at the front desk, they said her skirt was too short. I tried talking sense to them, but all he would repeat was 'we have a dress policy'. I went to Catholic school and they wore skirts much shorter than this. So, in the future, I don't think its worth staying at the Presidente, since 99% of the girls in the Del Rey would not meet their 'dress code'.

Thought you guys may want to know.

When is the best time to visit CR? Should Christmas time be avoided?

as soon as you can get there

[Tuna Man]

I always liked going between Labor Day and the week before Christmas.

The weather is not too bad and there are not that many tourists around, making a buyers market.

The only bad times I would say not to go would be between Dec 25 and Jan 1.

Also, Semana Santo or Holy Week before Easter are dead.

That is the time of year the locals go on vacation, so the cities ONLY have tourists in them.

In colombia, you may not have as good as luck..... But Costa Rica, it is always about the money, Pro or non-pro, Don't be fooled......

Yes, don't be fooled! The chicas in Colombia are just as much into "green" as the chicas in San Jose! Don't be fooled! LOL!!

[QUOTE=Capt Crunch]Enigma,

My buddy and i are dark skin brothas and we have taken several trips to San Jose within the last 2 years.

The Chicas love us! Just go and have fun.

The chicas could give a shit about what color you are. They see you as gringo, which equates to the color of " Green".

Cool , Good basic rule is stick to places that have chicas in house. On paying you pay independents after services are rendered but in MP's and brothels and strip palces you pay up front for in house services.rbc100
