Jaco / Jaco Beach

[YellowPaul]

Everything you need to know about Jaco. Very thorough.

But regarding what you call the "busy season" which they call the "Green Season", September to December, worst Oct & Nov, it's not "busy" because it rains, alot, all over CR, so tourism is way down.

Those are the months you really don't want to go to Jaco or any beach town in CR. Your wing told me 6 months ago? You were going to Jaco for Labor Day, and I told him to forget Jaco those months. You may get lucky with a nice few hours or a day here and there but not many other options when it's raining in Jaco, and the # of chica's are down. OK for SJ because there alot of other things to do and places to play and the girls are as good (same girls more often then not) , numerous rain or shine, cheaper, and very very few ask for $$ up front.

Everyone has a theory on why Jaco chicks stick to their guns and at much higher prices. One theory is the high roller fisherman from Los Suenos resort coming in during high season and don't care about another $50-75, or like you say newb's only going to hit it once or twice so they don't care. Or the girls, since they are fewer in number, are sticking together like a union, Jaco Puta Local 1. Who knows, but I agree it makes little sense, especially in the rainy season for them to turn down a $100 and stick at $150 and go home broke.

In any event, paying up front is a no-no and should be clarified during the negotiations stage at the bar and not after you get her to you're room.

Unfortunately, other then Jaco, the rest of the CR beach towns are bring your own for the most part.

A much nicer beach then Jaco Beach is just 10 minutes away to the south by taxi, Playa Hermosa, a few bars but not really any action, but something to do on a nice day and then play at Jaco at night.

I was there a few years ago in November and it rained like 3 days straight. Your right about the higher prices there. My strategy was to get some numbers at night of the better looking Columbians call them over for 4-5 hours during the day since they had nothing to do. I never paid more then $50- $100 depending the on the attractiveness of the and how long she stayed.

I was in Jaco years ago, like 7. Just wanted to post a pic of this girl I fell in love with and wanted to know if anyone here knows her, has seen her recently, has any info on her, etc.

[QUOTE=Chris Long; 1475233]Hi Chris, your report is excellent, comprehensive and accurate as usual. I was in Jaco for four days earlier this year (February). Quepos and San Jose, too. I'm glad I went and had a good time at Cocal and Gringo Gulch but, yes, expensive compared to other countries. I'm looking forward to following your advice for Indonesia and Dominican Republic. Hope to run into you one of these times and buy you some beer.

Great report and finally an unbiased report. Jaco sounds like a place for a day trip or overnight on down time. I would go to breakup the monotony of SJ after I busted enough nutts where I wouldn't be pressed in Jaco.

Airport:

The airport that you fly into when visiting Jaco is the San Jose airport SJO. The airport is fairly well laid out easy to follow, easy to get through immigration and customs no major hitches. There is a $28 dollar exit tax that you pay when you exit at the departure level. Many people chose to pay the tax upon arrival. There is also a money exchange upstairs at the departure level next to where you pay your departure tax that gives a fairly good exchange rate. Once arriving and clearing customs exit the building and cross the street to the parking garage and walk up stairs to the departure level cross the street and once you enter the desk to pay your departure tax and the money exchange will be on your right.

Transportation:

There are several different transportation services and companies that will take you to Jaco. There is also a local bus service you can use as well which is relatively inexpensive. The service I use is is Kelvin Pinnoch SJ vets will all know him bbexecutivepro@yahoo.com (contact information posted with his permission) he charges $85 one way to Jaco and $20 for an airport pick up to your hotel in SJ. He is also available for brothel and night life tours as well. I've known Kelvin and use him every time I go to the CR. Once in Jaco you can walk just about everywhere. The only time I use taxis in Jaco is when I pick up a chica. Taxis in Jaco on the norm are pretty honest and will turn the meters on. Transportation around Jaco should be around two dollars max.

Hotels:

I rented a condo at Paradise villas $50 a night plus a $40 cleaning fee. Personally I would not recommend staying at this place. It's in a gated community swimming pool, nice accommodations, Wi-Fi was week to nonexistent in my condo but my wingman had great Wi-Fi in his condo. What kills the deal on staying on staying at this place is you are only allowed five guests during your entire stay which if you are a high volume monger this will not be enough.

Checked out the Hotel Canciones Del Mar the hotel owned by the Del Ray, http://www.cancionesdelmar.com/ The place was exquisite all the rooms had separate bedroom and kitchenette the ocean front rooms had an ocean balcony. Nice pool and restaurant palm trees along the beach and a great ocean breeze blowing in, was told it is chica friendly. But there were no chicas available on premises, stoped in a couple times in the afternoon and in the evening and no chicas available. When I looked at the hotel I was quoted $55 dollars a night no chica fee, however rates listed in the web site are much higher.

The main hotel in Jaco for P4P is the Hotel Cocal http://hotelcocalandcasino.com/ It's an ocean front hotel and casino, very exquisite hotel. This is the main gathering spot for chicas you could even say it's the only gathering spot for P4P chicas.

Another option is the Cadillac Rock Hotel http://cadillacrock.com/en/about-us This is the old beetle hotel. The hotel is located right on the strip it's easy to find look for the building that has a cut out of the beetles performing on top of the room. I took a look at the place and it isn't bad the rates posted at the front desk were $60 for a double room and I was told if you book a double room there is no chica fee if you book a single room which was cheaper there is a chica fee every time you bring a girl up. I was also told there is Wi-Fi along the front balcony but it may not be strong enough in the rooms. I took a look at some of the rooms and they all looked nice clean and comfortable.

All of these hotels are close to one another in a good location and walking distance to one another.

Jaco:

Jaco is a beach town along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is somewhat of a meca for surfers. The action in Jaco is along the main strip its one long street of surf shops restaurants art galleries bars restaurants and other various stores. The hotels and the location for finding P4P chicas is also along the strip or one block off the strip. The strip in my opinion is easily walkable and all of the important P4P venues are easily walkable as well. The place I feel is very safe I walked the strip alone at night from my condo at one end of the strip to the Cocal at the other end a few nights and never had a problem. During the day time while walking I must have had a dozen people a day offer to sell me Marijuana. The strip seemed kind of slow to me especially at night. I was told this is the rainy season and the place becomes much livelier and busier during the busy season which is the winter months for the USA.

Locations to find Chicas:

The Cocal is the main watering hole for P4P chicas, they start to gather around 1 or 2. M not many at first maybe a half dozen or so, by the early evening the place becomes packed with chicas. During the weekdays it had to be five to ten chicas for every guy. On the weekends the numbers became a little more even however the chicas always outnumbered the guys every time I was there day and night and no matter what day of the week. They gather around the outdoor bar next to the pool and walk out to the beach where the hotel has a smoking area. The outdoor bar closes at midnight and after that time the chicas start to leave.

The other locations for finding P4P chicas are the discos after the Cocal closes. After midnight and the patio bar in the Cocal closes the chicas will gather in three discos, the Loft being the main disco. It's a three story red building on the corner of the street where the Cocal is located. The loft has an $8 cover charge to enter. Anther disco is the orange disco along the strip down a bit from the loft on the other side of the street. The other disco where you can find chicas is the Monkey bar after the Cocal patio bar closes this bar is on the same side of the street the Orange disco is on a little further down the street. Of the three discos the loft had the majority of the P4P Cocal chicas after midnight. All of these discos are regular discos with many none or possible semi P4P regular ticas there is also a lot of ticos in these discos and like most discos every time I was there the men outnumbered the women.

The final spot to find P4P chicas is the Patio bar which is in front of the Cadillac Hotel, this is the old Beatle bar it's an outdoor bar and it closes around 1:am never at any time did I see more than five or six available chicas and in my opinion they were a little older than what you will find at the Cocal and again in my opinion in the six to seven range.

Services:

This is the deal killer for me when it comes to Jaco. Many of the chicas can be quite haughty in attitude and have a cheap plastic come on that you know once in the room the attitude is going to change 190 degrees. What was surprising is that many will not lower there price even though the chica to guy ratio is ten to one, many would prefer to go home with nothing rather than lower there price and make a little money. None and I mean none from no matter what venue I picked them up at would agree to BBBJ all insisted upon CBJ and very, very few allowed DATY, as for DFK forget about it. What was another major issue is the insistence upon the chicas to be paid first. This was an issue with every and I mean every chica I picked up, every session started with a five to fifteen minute debate about getting paid first. I had three chicas walk away because I would not pay first. I never pay first and you should never pay first. Every monger I know and I mean every MONGER I know who has paid a freelancer first has been burned at least once. I have never paid first and I have never been burned it is better to let her walk away than to pay first and end up getting burned.

After the Cocal closes the chicas will migrate to the discos, I found the scene and the situation changed as the chicas seemed to be off duty in a since. Many where hanging with local ticos or with local friends and were not giving you the Parana hooker look or come on as they do in the Cocal. It was a little more like a regular disco in the since they don't pay much attention to you and can be somewhat difficult to approach.

Many of the Jaco Cocal chicas claim they never work San Jose, however when I went to San Jose a few days later I seen a few of the chicas at the Del Ray I had seen at the Cocal and when was at the Cocal I ran into a couple chicas I had met at the Del Ray in San Jose on previous trips. I personally believe the chicas are interchangeable and go to both locations to work.

As far as quality of looks go I had heard the P4P chicas in Jaco were generally better looking than the P4P chicas in San Jose. In my opinion that is not true and I felt the quality in looks was the same at either venue.

Prices:

Most chicas start out asking for $150 for an hour many will not lower there price. I found during the day time you could generally get better deals. I paid anywhere from $80 to $100 for an hour and never paid more, had several chicas turn their nose up and walk away when I offered them $100. At the Patio bar and at the Monkey bar I was able to get chicas for $60, I may have been able to get them cheaper but I opened up negotiations at $60, however these women in my opinion were in the seven range. I inquired about the prices at the strip club and was told it was $200 in house or to take the chica out of house.

During the day I found it a little easier to get chicas for $80 at night the less popular chicas are easier to get for $80. To my surprise I found once at the discos the chicas do not lower there price but instead insist upon the higher price. There is a certain since by the chicas that they are off duty now with their friends and if you want them you will have to pay the higher price.

Money:

Jaco is just like gringo gulch in San Jose dollars are accepted everywhere. There really is no need to exchange your money as almost all places accept either dollars or colones the Costa Rican currency and the cash registers are programed to know the current exchange rate. So if you buy something at the store and pay in dollars they will give you the change back in Colones at the proper exchange rate. The chcias all operate on dollars quote you there price in dollars and want to be paid in dollars.

Safety:

I felt very safe in Jaco, I walked the strip as late as one or two in the morning by myself and never had a problem. I heard it was not safe to walke the beach late at night, but I never tried, there are no P4P chicas there so no reason to walk the beach late at night.

Language:

Spanish is the official language, however, many people there speak English and the language will never be a problem for you. Many chicas do not speak English however, they know what you are there for and they will know enough words for the two of you to come to a deal.

Final Thoughts:

You will find many attractive women in Jaco to have sex with. However, you will also find a stronger attitude among many of the chicas than you will find at other P4P venues throughout the world. You will probably pay more in Jaco than you will in other venues throughout the world and you will probably receive slightly less services than you will in other venues throughout the world. In my opinion the guys who go to Jaco for P4P don't know what else is available to them in other venues throughout the world. They either somehow stumbled upon the P4P scene in Jaco or someone told them about it so they went and they don't know about any other venue like this in the world so they think this is all there is. Or these are guys who are going to Jaco to surf, fish, diving ATVing or other type of sports and mongering is just a foot note to their vacation, they may only get one or two chicas during their entire stay so the attitude and the price is ok with them.

On another note I went during the off season, I can only imagine during the busy season when it is more crowded the attitude and prices get even worse. Jaco is the only monger location that I chose to leave early, usually I'm depressed anger and sad when it gets close to me leaving a monger location but in Jaco I chose to lose money because I could not get a refund on the condo I paid for and leave early. My original intent was to spend a week in Jaco. However, the high prices the lack of services the haughty attitude from many of the chicas and the constant debate with every chica about being paid first made me want to leave Jaco after only a few day and go to San Jose instead.

I was in Jaco yesterday and had a little time to kill before I picked up some clients to head on a tour. I stopped by my favorite breakfast restaurant to eat breakfast and to get any info I could on a rumor I heard. Turns out it's not a rumor but fact. It looks like Del Rey's Big John is not sitting back in his rocking chair. It appears he has bought a 2nd property in Jaco, the South Beach Hotel I was just by there and took a look around the 34 room facility. Prices of the rooms are ranging between $79 for a standard double to $249 for the Ocean front suite. Price includes taxes and a killer breakfast. They have a huge pool area with a small waterfall. Also, they are doing a lot of renovations to the property and it appears Big John is pulling out all the stops to compete with the Cocal. I was escourted around the property and allowed to take photo's. Stay tuned for more info.

If I go to a mongering destination I want the GFE longtime. Philippines and Thailand being the best of these however a long trip that you need not make if you only got 1 week its not worth it. I can get ST here in the US wam bam thank you ma'am. for 40-50 a pop so why go to CR . I would like to find a good girl I can travel with But I don; t want to pay her 150-200 a day. More like 50 a day maybe 400 for a week all in stay with me the whole time like a girlfriend Me thinking I could not do this in CR but can in DR so convince me otherwise to pick CR

Some girls will go for $50 a day for 3 days. A week? I do not know. Once I kept a nice girl for three days and we traveled every day to sightseeing places. I always rent a car. This girl was young and she lived close to Puerto Limon.

Nice body and boobs to die for. Moreover she likes to get on top and hammer me long time. Very pleasant daytime company as well. One day we took her friend as well for a trip. No payment for her, just lunch.

Before that I had another 18 year old blond (natural) tica who would stay with me for three days. Only problem with her is she likes to gamble all night and sleep all day. However she was good in sex teaching me how to do steady and slow stroke in the begining and alternate between hard thrusts and soft till she came. I was fascinated such a young girl who knows how she likes it. Must have started early. LOL.

In fact on another trip I saw her in Jaco and brought her back to San Jose to her house. But that night she failed to show up for dinner and I took another girl. Next morning she shows up unannounced to Presidente Hotel.

I went down and told her to come back after two hours till I fuck the other girl and let other girl go.

I am sure nothing is impossible. Maybe $400+ $100 tip might do the trick.

Mongers,

Can anyone please recommend a good hotel for a weekend in Jaco? I am willing to pay up to $140 per night. I don't want anything too cheap, but nothing extremely expensive. My priorities are great view, internet and girl friendly. Hopefully something close where the girls are. Thanks.

Cocal is great, even the parking lot rooms. Best show in town is the lounge chairs in front of your room, parking lot. If you have a friend, why not split the bill on an upgrade on a condo? The Vista Mar behind the Cocal, same managing company. Same free breakfast but a private pool and a killer condo. Indulge yourself. You deserve it.

I would say go to the Cocal. I just got back from a week there and it was fantastic. You can choose from ocean front rooms or poolside rooms. If you want wifi they have it for free in the pool / bar area so grab a poolside room or a room behind the bar if you want a strong signal.

There is usually a few girls for early morning action (nothing special). But around 3-4pm the daytime action picks up and by nightfall the place is banging with ticas, nicas, Dominicanas, and Colombians. A few Peruvians also. Try not to pay more than the hundred or so, don't ruin the scene.

If you need supplies there is a pharmacy a few steps from the hotel and some restaurants for breakfast / lunch / dinner. Although the food at the cocal is quite edible.

Good luck

[Jonesie]

Hotel Cocal is the monger center in Jaco. And well within your budget. I prefer the ocean front rooms to the left (7-11?). Much quieter and away from the restaurant. But you may like something else.

S. L.,

Guess you have never been to Costa Rica, home to some of the most beautiful, hot bloodied Latinas in the world. While you can find them for $50 an hour and good deals for TLN, you are going to be hard pressed to find one for $400 a week. Good luck and let me know how you came out.

I believe I have to somewhat respectfully disagree with Onibmab. I really can't see how Europe is cheaper. Airfare from Chicago to SJO is $384. From Houston $554 from Miami around $300, L. A. About $550. What is the price of airfare are. T. Form the USA to Copenhagen? How long does it take you to get there? Jet lag is involved. Costa Rica is on mountain time therefore there is never jet-lag and you can get here in 2.5 hours from Miami. Expensive? Naw, don't think so. It is if you live here but not for vacationers. You can still get a good Jaco hotel for $45 a night. Same in San Jose. Cocal for $90 a night and the All inclusive Amistad deal in San Jose, all you can eat, all you can drink, with your room for only $79 a night. Try getting that in Europe. And the Chicas, man. So many by the pool in Jaco. Del rey and the Soprtsmen still has a 5-1 ratio. I agree about the beach in Jaco. Not a shithole as you labeled it, but it is a lot cleaner than years ago. Not may favorite beach. If I wanted to go to the beach for the day, it would be Manuel Antonio. But let's face it fellows, most of you don't come here for the swimming. As I always say, your mileage will very. If Jaco and San Jose was a shithole, then why do I get so many repeat customers. Guess they have not found out about the Paris, London and Munich mongering. Have fun on your next trip fellows.

Lucky Dog, I respect your opinions here (and on another board) and you give a lot of valuable information. However, I do disagree with you on pricing here. San Jose has become very expensive; ten years ago a great meal at a Soda was 2 bucks. Factoring in inflation, that meal should now be 3 dollars; try double that, even in the Mercado central. Most food is far more than that, and the quality is just "ok". For those who love TLN (all night, or long time) , the average price seems to be about 120-140, if you negotiate well, are going for a hotie, and know what you are doing. Most chicas for all night try for a lot more than that. Also, what "good" hotel that is chica friendly is 45 bucks all in? Castillo's cheaper rooms, Mona Lisa I guess, if that survives. Those are fine rooms, not great though (and I have stayed in, and enjoy, the Castillo several times).

CR is now great if you are into MPs and short time; even MPs have gone through the roof. I used to get five girls at the Dundeon (ok, I'm a sick bastard) for 35 bucks for a quick orgy / BBBJ. The MPs in Paseo Colon were about half price even 7 years ago; that is way above inflation.

I am not a member of the CR sucks club; I will be back in November, and actually plan on using your services. However, I would suggest that the reason so many guys go back to San Jose is not for a love of the town, but for the short flight, convience / user friendly quality of the scene. Many guys who used to go there a lot have moved on to other places.

So, my only reason for writing this is to say, it is indeed fairly expensive, compared to other mongering venues, IF you are into all night, and food and such.

IMHO.
