Posts: 625Vaccination Requirement
After a week in Medellin I plan to fly to San Jose for a week before returning home. I notice Costa Rica has some requirements regarding yellow fever vaccination for travelers from Colombia. But I'm not clear if it applies to travelers able to prove (with hotel receipts) they didn't visit infected areas. Anyone can help me on this?

And I gave you an unemotional answer. Maybe your response is just an attempt to camouflage the fact that your claims, like most of your posts, are not based in the real world.
Can you answer why, multiple times, you claim to have 25 years mongering experience in Tijuana, and another time you claim to be 23 years of age (and just dropped from an NFL team)? Do you even know the real world?!
Cheers

For example, I am sure that the Shangri-La in Global City, Manila would have extremely good safes and SOPs to protect guests' valuables. But the safes in many down-market hotels in the good ol' USA might be rather insecure! Get the idea? BTW, some of the safes in cheaper hotels can easily be opened by any intruder.

Posts: 38Guys, one more question:
#9: Does anyone know if the safes inside Mona Lisa Hotel are now secure? I refuse to stay anywhere if they can't guarantee nothing will get stolen. Thanks.

Posts: 38Guys, responses appreciated
Guys, making a little trip down to CR after several years away. Just a few questions:
1. I'm trying to get some insight on some other hotels besides the obvious selections. Does anyone know what the guest fee is at Balmoral in San Jose? Anyone ever stay there?
2. Does Hotel Santo Tomas ever let guests in for a fee? Or is just no guests ever?
3. Is Pirate Club still open and still good? I haven't heard of anything about it lately. Is is open in the early afternoon around 12:30 pm? Every day? I used to love this place.
4. Guys a ton of nice MP's in San Jose, but (other then zona2), what MP generally has the highest quality and selection? I have limited time, to explore all the options.
5. Did Scores close?
6. Guys, is strip club Kamur any good anymore? Still open?
7. I think there is one strip club in Jaco? What is the name / location? Price / quality of talent? Anyone recommend?
8. Any working talent in Playa Hermosa near Jaco, or in Montezuma?
I'll make report upon return. Thanks.

Posts: 14"'If you are in Costa Rica paying 60 bucks for a chica- I promise you are getting exactly what you are paying for. If you like to pay more-- you will certainly get higher quality and better girls. I go to Jaco about once every 6-7 weeks. I am telling you for a fact that 60 $ will not buy a 8-9-or10. You can get a 5 or a 6 for 60-80 $.
If you are an older guy who is perfectly happy with a 5 or 6 level chica then more power to you. ".
My dear brother: More $$ does not equal better service. I prefer the 5 or 6 with a great personality and attitude, than an 8 or 9 with a bad attitude. There are many stories of guys that have paid $100, $200, and even $300, and have had bad stories to tell. They complain that the chicas refuse to kiss them or give them a BBBJ. Money, for me, has value; therefore, I spend it wisely.

I am a bit younger- I like the 21-25 year old hard body Colombians. These girls are 100 to 150 on average. If you have good Spanish speaking skills your negotiations will go much smoother. As this poster stated- If you want top quality pussy and don't want to pay a lot of money then Medellin is the place to go. I have a novia in Medellin and get there as often as I can. The down side to Medellin for me is the fact that it is still a very dangerous city and I like the relaxed and laid back atmosphere of the beach at Jaco. Medellin is more of frenetic and crazy place. An American tourist was murdered right in Poblado within the last few weeks. You will almost never hear these kinds of stories in CR.
To each his own-- but I find the last 2 posters a little misleading to new guys coming to CR. If you are coming and looking for 60 $ girls its not going to be a fun or easy trip. If you have a pocket full of cash and don't mind spending 100's and 150's then you will have the time of your life. The sky is the limit!
Pura Vida!

Airport taxes: $25.

The airport tax is now included on MOST airline ticket prices.
Check it out before you might pay it a second time.
Agreed with the rest of your expose.
Enjoy.

Posts: 14The True Cost of Going to CR
I have learned a lot from this board over the years. I thought that I contribute my own two cents, for what its worth. I have visited CR seven times prior to 2005. I stopped going to CR in 2005 because the quality was down, and I also had a business to run. I am 62, with six figure home paid for, and son in college. Overall, life is fine. I work hard for my money and place value on dollars earned. So, I decided to pay a quick four day visit to CR when my wife decided to spend some time with her sister who is ill. I stayed at the Del Rey for the entire four days. The quality is definitely down, but there are still diamonds in the rough. I was disappointed in the mercenary attitude of some of the ladies. All services were negotiated up front and written and shown on my phone calculator. There were some that did not come off the $100. I simply passed by. I was able to get the be team with a pleasant and grateful attitude for $60 - $70. There were three chicas, that despite negotiations, tried to upsell me in the room. They gamble that because I had paid $11 for Del Rey guest fee, I will accept bullshit. They each tried to charge extra for kiss, BBBJ, even though all of these were negotiated upfront. I simply opened my room door and told each of them to leave. The mood had been killed by then. I can afford to pay $100 for a chica, but I refuse to do so, because once the bar is set, it keeps rising. Many of our follow brothers will be put out of the market. As a matter of fact, because of the decrease in quality and haggling of the chicas, the number of Americans at the Del Rey is sharply down. There are more ticos now. This was never the case a few years ago. For the person who travels once or twice a year for vacation, a $100 may seem to be nothing, but for a regular traveler, it becomes unaffordable and out of the reach for most. I will give a breakdown of my expense to put things in a true perspective:
Airfare: $800 (out of Newark, business class, because of arthritic knees. Direct flight).
Parking at Newark: $135.
Hotel Del Rey: $319.
Transportation to / from airport: $60.
Airport taxes: $25.
Meals / Drinks for 4 days: $400.
Taxis / Tips: $100.
We are nearly at $2 k, if you add $100/ chica for ten chicas over four days, you are looking at nearly $300/ chicas overall. At this rate, this is unsustainable for a regular traveler. There will be less of our buddies in CR, and the quality will continue to go down, because there are less travelers and therefore less business for the chicas. Some will say, it is my money and I can spend it however I want, but you have to look at the overall big picture. At $300/ chica, I can get a beautiful Latina escort from Colombia in Philly or DC, spend an hour with her, and be back at work the same day. The lure of CR will begin to wean. We need to keep a handle on cost for the good of the chicas and for all of us. Right now, I am brushing up on my Spanish; my next trip will probably be to Medellin. I have visited this city at least four times, but to truly enjoy it, you will need a working knowledge of Spanish. CR is close to the US, but prices and service are getting out of hand. My own two cents. Take it for what it is worth!
