Fellas how much spanish should I be learning before heading out there solo? I can speak very little and probably understand even less when spoken to but I do want to at least be able to connect with those I come across whether it be at the bar, restaurant or grocery store.The more you can learn the better. When are you heading down? If you have the ability to download torrents I would suggest the pimsleur series, its usually pretty readily available levels 1-5, with each lesson being about 30 minutes, extremely useful conversational dialogues, and you really learn by speaking. However, there are just some words like - "coger": to fuck; "nalgas": booty; "ponte en 4": get on all fours / get in doggystyle position; "chupame bien": suck it / suck me good. That you will learn from being in the scene.
I've been studying the language for 15 years and still learn new phrases and ways to say things all the time, just like any other language it is always evolving, the slang, etc. And the way to say something cool 10 years ago, might not be the same as it is today.
But Depending on where you spend most of your time, varying degrees of English will be understood / spoken. Lots of guys come down with little to no Spanish and have a blast, don't let it get you too flustered.

Plan to work on the extra stuff afterwards, It seems I didn't learn anything from Spanish 1 & 2 in middle school. Thanks for the advice.

Google translate is all you need! The girls in the gringo hangouts know more English that they let on, LOL!Completely agree!! Being from the deep South with only a public school education, I barely speak English much less another language. I have traveled (mongered) in 50+ countries and use Google Translate exclusively. While I readily admit it can be cumbersome at times, it certainly works well enough to get the point (s) across. You start waving money around, it's truly amazing how quickly the chicas become fluent in the language of choice.

Is it reasonably priced and easy to buy in san jose?

Is it reasonably priced and easy to buy in san jose?I've had experiences where pharmacies in more affluent or trendy expat neighborhoods like Escazu or Barrio Escalante or Rhormorser are less likely to sell a foreigner meds without a prescription. In more barrio type or inner city pharmacies I think you would have more luck. And paying a trusted local to go in and ask wouldn't hurt either. Like a taxi driver you use or security guard at a hotel etc.
Good luck!

Is it reasonably priced and easy to buy in san jose?I don't use viagra because it's too strong. I do on occasion use generic cialis (need some help after weeks of fucking and drinking) - all farmacias carry then (I prefer cr tadalafilo called "noflexx") one 20 MG pill cost 2400 colones (about 5 hee) and I split them in 2 (20 MG is way too much to take one shot). I'll ask my regular farmacia and find out the prices for you shortly.
You DO NOT need any prescriptions and it's super easy to buy from any of the 15 or so farmacias in SJ. Just come in and ask for it, they'll be more than happy to sell to you.

I don't use viagra because it's too strong.Ummm maybe take less?
Ok so my guy is Damien at farmacias salud global - 100 MG pill of generic viagra 2500 colones (5 $).I'm surprised it's that expensive. That's pretty similar to the price I pay in the US, but maybe I'm getting ripped off at home! LOL I typically pick-up some generic Cialis when I'm in SJ, and the price at the downtown pharmacies is always about 10% of the cost in the US price. I usually use the place across the street from the Morazon Hotel.

Thanks for replying and intel. Just as I expected it is about double than the cheapest I could find in medellin centro (About $2. 30). I usually cut it in 3 or 4.
Still won't mind knowing the address of farmacias salud global. Please let me know the address. Via DM if you wish.

Def try out other farmacias. I just like this guy because he speaks enough English and is very helpful.

N_R.Don't think those are great prices. I have bought them cheaper through an individual, but I believe they were imported generics.
As for addresses. Google may be your friend. But addresses are not much help in CR as in many cases there are none. The building I am in right now for example. There is no address. Well, there may be a descriptive one somewhere, but it is not available.
added - the farmacia he mentioned is a chain, so who knows which one he was talking about, but prices would be the same in all of them
the farmacia he mentioned is a chain, so who knows which one he was talking about, but prices would be the same in all of themThat would be logical, but is not the case in Latin America. Chain store prices frequently differ from one branch to another in Costa Rica and many other LatAm countries.

I have an easy question for those of you that have traveled recently or have the experience. I cannot make up my mind. I'm planning on traveling in the next couple of months. I've been to Columbia and had an awesome time. I know Columbia is always good, but I heard it got really expensive. I would like to go to Costa Rica but don't know if the Chicas compare to Columbia. Can anybody tell me prices and if the Chicas from Costa Rica are as nice as Columbia?

Can anybody tell me prices and if the Chicas from Costa Rica are as nice as Columbia?You can absolutely find many gems, and some of them may even be Colombianas. Price will be higher but depending on your style, Spanish level, and distance to travel, it could even out. Do your research and pick the one that best fits your wallet and style.
SJ is cheaper and easy to navigate, Jaco is more expensive but has a chill beach town vibe.
If I had to live in either Costa Rica or Colombia for the rest of my life, it would be Costa Rica for sure. If, on the other hand, I had just been told I had only a month or two to live, it would be Colombia for sure. Does that help?
Prices are higher in CR compared to Colombia. Chicas are easier to find in CR than Colombia. Doesn't mean there's more P4 P in CR, just that there are venues in San Jose and Jaco where the chicas are conveniently ready for you to browse the goodies. Colombia requires more effort and more Spanish. So, in effect, in CR you pay for the convenience. But if you've been successful in Colombia and enjoyed it, I would continue to go to Colombia.
Arriving in a couple weeks to SJO. Trying to determine if duty free wines at the airport are cheaper than what I may find in a local supermarket.
I hear bottles of wine can be expensive in San Jose due to import taxes.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?I doubt there is any significant price difference. Selection difference possibly. Wine in San Jose is probably a bit more than in the USA, but similar to prices I see in Canada. But overall it is a very small part of my costs.

Best Selection. AutoMercado.
Selection is heavily weighted toward South American an Spanish wine. If you are looking for a specific wine, search 'Bottega Costa Rica' or 'Vinum Store Escazu' to view their catalogs and relative prices.

I was in Taormina in May and the standard rate for one hour session is $80-$100. All of the girls I had sessions with did BBBJ. Of all the girls I talked to in the hotel, only one, a Dominican said she would not do BBBJ. So if things are slow for the girls you might get $80 but to make them happy and get quality service the standard is cien to get top girls there. I would usually pay for 1 1/2 hrs for 60 K colones which converts to $111. I paid 70 K colones to a girl for all night which converts to $130 but I did buy her dinner as well. To me to get excellent service I don't care whether I have to pay $80 or $100. In a week I had about 12 sessions with 5 different women and not a single one was bad. I didn't even bother to go to Sportsmens or HDR.Thanks for all this valuable info, and I'm glad a great time. Quick question: Did you meet all these fun girls at Taormina?
Anyone have a recent update on the Hotel Del Rey? I plan to be in CR mid August. If it's not "girl friendly" anymore, any recommendations? Tia.Probably girl friendly, although a fee to take them to your room if you stay there. But it is virtually empty. No one goes there any more. The Taormina is the place where there are the most chicas circulating through, and Sportsmens will have some of the same ones circulating through in afternoon and evening.

I've gotten generic V and see from Farmacia Dr. Lee, which is near the NW corner of the next intersection down the hill from the Del Rey.
WWMG+F3 San José, San José Province, Costa Rica.
I can't remember exact prices, but I think it was something in the neighborhood of $30 for 16 100 MG generic V. I could be off on that.
But I do remember going around to other pharmacies and asking about prices and he was always cheaper.

Anyone have a recent update on the Hotel Del Rey? I plan to be in CR mid August. If it's not "girl friendly" anymore, any recommendations? Tia.I was in the HDR for 10 days in June. They are definitely still "girl friendly". There are still working ticas there looking for customers like in the old days just not as many as in the old days and not quite the talent level as the old days. They of course still charge their tica fee when you take a girl up to your room, but that's always been the case with them.
Hit town yesterday for a weeks stay.
Landed at 12:30 pm and immigration was a little crowded, but only about 15 minutes. Stopped in the Duty Free and picked up, a couple bottles of wine for the hotel; Chilean merlot $13, Yellow Tail Chardonnay $12: $25 total. Had a driver waiting for me, $30, standard fare. No traffic to the hotel (unusual for the afternoon), was there in 30 minutes.
The little shop around the corner from the Dunn Inn has closed. I have a local friend who will pick up some refreshments from Walmart for me and bring this afternoon. She arranges my hotel stay, transportation and can arrange an prescriptions and debta care as well. She can get any prescription through her pharmacy contact. If you book at the Taormina through her, they waive the standard Chica fee at the Taormina; one girl.
Per day. Thereafter, is a charge of $12.
The Taormina is the place to stay nowadays. Girls started arriving about 2 pm. By 6 pm there were at least 30 girls who filtered through the bar and casino areas; a couple "8"s, mostly 5 - 7; some chunky, if that's your thing. One girl told me that she and her friends avoid the HDR got business and rotate between Sportsman's, Castillo and the Taormina. I finally settled on a slender Nica, nice body (one baby, 3), natural tits with 1/2" nipples, shaved pussy. C50,000 agreed for oil massage (Nica's are known for their massages), BBBJ, Covered sex with multiple positions. She took CIM without my asking. Very GFE in my mind. Before she left she got in the shower with me to wash all the oil off. Gave her an extra C10,000 for her great efforts. Will do her again before I leave. Will see what Friday afternoon and evening have to offer!
Stay thirsty my friends!
As far as ATMs go. In the airport I believe there is still one by the BCR kiosk in the departures terminal
.There is also 1 ATM by the luggage terminals, in the Right corner as you arrive. However, the exchange rate at this ATM is Horrible. Approximately 100 colones per dollar less than at other ATMs in Costa Rica.
Was lazy to post my report, but here it is.
Accommodation: I stayed for a month in San Jose from May 13 - June 14th. I took an Airbnb in Curridabat and kept all mongering activities in Hotel Castillo, based on recommendations here due to safety.I am headed down in September and also staying at an Airbnb and wondering how you kept your mongering activities in Hotel Castillo? Do they allow a short term room if you are not booked to stay there? Are you picking them up at HC and then going to a place like La Oficina or Hotel Asia? I have a few that I am already talking to on Tinder / WhatApp and Skokka / Wilas and might get to a point where I bring one of them back to the Airbnb if I feel comfortable with them, but for the day to day and quick fixes, I was thinking of the pensions / massage parlors and renting a room at the hourly places for a girl I want to meet or pull from one of the hotel bars, so they won't know where I am staying in case they are thieves or worse.

I wouldn't worry so much about them knowing where you are staying as long as there is security in the building you are staying in. And if you find an Airbnb that allows visitors that will be a bonus. Most don't.
Thanks for all this valuable info, and I'm glad a great time. Quick question: Did you meet all these fun girls at Taormina?Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yes, I met them all in Taormina.

Fellow Mongers,
I'm headed to SJO / Jaco for the next 8+ days, two days in SJO, and 6-7 days in Jaco. Primarily looking to relax and "re-acquaint" myself with the local talent as this is my first trip since the dreaded 'VID.
I'm staying at the Taormina on the first night and will certainly take a stroll (or two) around the bar area and see if anything piques my interest. I usually stay at the S / L; however, too many negative reports. My plane doesn't land until 1900, so a S / T on the first night will be just fine. The next day I plan to stop by Monica's for a session on my way to Jaco. I've been there previously; however, my primary has since "left the building". She was a sweetie and will be missed.
Lastly, if any of you have specific questions relative to any of the above, send them over and I will do my best to answer. As is customary, I will report back any findings to pay for those that have certainly helped me with my ventures.

Friday was a great night in the hotel sports bar; at least 50 girls filtering in and out. Saturday was slower, but still about 30 girls. The "Jungle Bar" is a good spot to take a girl and to get acquainted in a more private setting. Pulled a 24 yo tics last night, reddish hair, fair skin, skinny body with nice little titties. She was playfully grabbing my junk under the bar as I enjoyed my beer. Agreed to 50,000 colones and off we went, no guest fee included in my room rate.
Once in the room I opened some wine and put on some YouTube music as she did a slow striptease. She then got on her knees and showed her above average oral skills. Then it was my turn as I ate her for a good 20 minutes. Oh, the entirety of the BJ was condom free. Fucked her in multiple positions and came on her chest. All in all, a good selection with GFE treatment.
Didn't make it over to the HDR to check it our, but most of those girls are in the Taormina now anyway. May check it out this evening, Sunday is usually a slow night in the Taormina and HDR is usually more populated.

Re reading many reports questions of safety come up.
I have met women all over the country in person, and using tinder, and also meeting girls in the ol HDR, cocal, local bars and the beaches.
I speak ok Spanish but in the beginning I knew none.
In all that time I have never ever had a dealing with a woman where they put my safety in danger. At least that I knew of. I have had many in the apartments I have rented. I have not found the ladies to be advanced at running games.
The only time I can even think of was after I came back from a short time with a Nica in Jaco ant an st cabin near coral, and what I believe was her drunk boyfriend on the street. He was not making much sense and yelling, but I was able to avoid him easy enough and got in a cab and left.
Of course you have to pay attention but overall CR is a very safe place for us gringos. If you meet a girl and she likes you, rent a car and she will travel with you anywhere and be your eyes and ears. SJ I guess could be a place to proceed with extra caution but I have always found it safer than most bad parts in the avg Gringo city.
Only speaking from my own experience ymmv.

Hey All,
Looking for a little advice here as this is my first trip. I've read a lot of prior posts but still have a few questions.
I'm coming down shortly after Labor Day for 5 days 4 nights. It appears action is easy to find, I just may need help location the pensions. Hopefully I will run into some veterans who can show me around.
Anyhow, would it be a good idea to maybe take a day trip to Jaco or even stay 1 or 2 nights to see something different? I'm more of a beach person which is why I have been to DR on many occasions but want to see something different.
I've read a lot of the hotels in SJ do offer tours, so I may look into rafting or fishing. I just don't want to wind up staying to long and be board. I would consider taking a trip to one of the other beaches but my research shows they are 3+ hours away.
Looking to make a decision in the next few days and book some travel.
Thanks.

Thanks.With just 4 nights, I would either go to San Jose or Jaco for the entire trip. And from either location you can arrange a ton of day trips. White water rafting is always good this time of year (rainy season).
As a first timer, in SJ I would stay at one of the monger hotels, Sportsmens, Taormina or Castillo. All have their pros and cons as previous posters have noted.
I Jaco, the Cocal is ground central. Rooms are nice but pretty basic and a bit expensive. If you stay anywhere else be sure to confirm their guest rules as many places in Jaco do not allow unregistered guests.
Get it in writing.
Took a weekender down to San Jose this past Thurs-Sun. I stayed at the Sportsmens and spent time around the gulch venues. I've made many trips in the past, but this was my first visit since the pandemic and I was interested to see how the scene was.
There were at least several chicas available in the Sportsmens every day of the trip from early afternoon onwards. More in the night of course, and sometimes a couple earlier. I pulled three times from SL during my stay. As others have detailed, Taormina is definitely the best option. I enjoyed the bar and casino vibe. Nothing the scale of HDR a decade ago, but definitely fun and many chicas available. Pulled really good lookers both Fri and Sat nights there.
During the days I walked a lot and stopped at several spas that I've enjoyed in years past. I found Relax completely closed, apparently gone the way of Idem. Popped my head into a couple salas on Sixth, but no diamonds in the rough to be seen. I sessioned with Julia at Monicas. She was the only flaca in the line-up the morning that I stopped in. Great slam session for the price (BBBJ, CFS).
I stopped in at HDR twice during my trip. Once on Friday afternoon, and again on Saturday evening. The lobby bar and the blue marlin bar were both open. I was surprised to see that they have carpeted the floor in the lobby, and as reported by others, all the casino games are gone. There were several chicas available both visits. Many of the same bartenders are still working, and to my disbelief, they brought me my correct change after all of my drink orders. Friday there was no one to my liking, but Saturday I pulled a really nice looking flaca who I took back to Sportsmens to show me a good time.
For anyone that might be interested, I picked up a box of 8 generic cialis 20 mgs from the pharmacy across the street from the old Morazon hotel for 30 usd. So 3. 75/ pill.
All in all, I had a good time, and think San Jose is still a decent enough option.
Received a report that American John has passed and was buried recently. The report said that ownership would turn over to his family, who reported new things to come.
Sad to hear of his passing; he had a storied life for many years! Me and my wingman were fortunate to have stayed in the " owners suite" several years ago when John was out of the country.

J.I travel to CR every year and a half or so and seem to find fewer and fewer Colombianas with each visit. Maybe due in part to the uptick in mongering in Colombia. Lots of gringos down there these days. I can't image it would be worth it for the chicas to trek it all the way up to CR when they can stay closer to home. I had one during my last visit but she immigrated to CR as a teen after her mother married a Tico. Not sure what everyone else's experience has been over the years but I feel like I'm seeing fewer girls from other countries in Central and South America than in years past with a noticeably higher percentage of Ticas (especially post COVID). I'll be returning in a few months after an almost two year hiatus and curious to see if anything has changed.

And the place has been slow on paying taxes, etc. So it seems unlikely that anyone will be salvaging it to be the place it was.I was disappointed to see that the plaque that used to hang on the wall beside the lobby bar commemorating the founders of the HDR is no longer there. At least there were about a half dozen girls at each bar though. Without the casino though, I just don't see it having much chance of picking up much further.
I went to these clubs a few times. They are basically strip clubs with rooms upstairs for sex. If you're here for a quick vacation and don't speak Spanish, maybe the usual hotels are better, but if you want to try something else, these clubs can be interesting. In the main room, you can pay for drinks for the girls, to have them sit with / on you. So you can have some physical contact before deciding if you want more.
Alcazar: Cover: 5000 CRC, drinks for girls: 5000 CRC. 1/2 hour in room: 33 K.
Pantera Rosa: Cover: 5000. Drinks: 6000 or 12000 (for lap dance). 1/2 hour private: 32 K (I think). Rooms at Pantera Rosa are just a massage table. They had others with beds, and bathrooms, but they were asking alot more money for those.
I also went to Tango India and Elite, but they had higher cover changes and absurdly high prices for sex in the private rooms. I'm not sure what's going on there. I don't plan on returning. Tango India had 2 K CRC lap dances.
Some others on map I haven't checked out yet.
I met this girl last year at Taormina. Lost contact info and didn't see here there recently. Anyone seen her at a different location?

Spent the weekend in SJ. Had some success with dating apps. Sportsman hotel was nice but girls a bit pricey. Hotel Del Rey provided a night (or two) of entertainment. Plenty of nice girls to chat to and if one takes your fancy for US $100 will go to your nearby hotel or a cheap short stay hotel across the road.
Girl says I should give her 800 because that's what most men give her, she has family to take care of and will accept nothing less.

Girl says I should give her 800 because that's what most men give her, she has family to take care of and will accept nothing less.$80 per session is the settlement price for many of them. That may be a short time. Generally till you are done, or an hour, whichever is sooner. $800 is just a crazy shot at a payday. Perhaps for a couple of days that would be a number. Still high, but closer.
If you want to pay 800 to help her family go for it. I've done worse than that when I've fallen in love so to speak. But just be aware that there is no upper limit to what is needed when there is a family to take care of.

Thoughts and prayers for her family, LOL.

He sat down and bought a couple hundred dollars in chips and got dealt a hand as his three buddies looked on. Thing was, he didn't know what he was doing and was asking me how to play the game. I picked up my chips and left him to figure it out. That's kind of how they go about negotiating with a woman for sex.

I travel to CR every year and a half or so and seem to find fewer and fewer Colombianas with each visit. Maybe due in part to the uptick in mongering in Colombia. Lots of gringos down there these days. I can't image it would be worth it for the chicas to trek it all the way up to CR when they can stay closer to home. I had one during my last visit but she immigrated to CR as a teen after her mother married a Tico. Not sure what everyone else's experience has been over the years but I feel like I'm seeing fewer girls from other countries in Central and South America than in years past with a noticeably higher percentage of Ticas (especially post COVID). I'll be returning in a few months after an almost two year hiatus and curious to see if anything has changed.The main reason is because now Colombians need a visa to travel to Costa Rica. I believe they actually have to visit a Costa Rican embassy or consulate and sit for an interview. This applies to Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Cubans and Dominicans too.
A Colombiana can visit the Schengen area in Europe, and not have to jump through hoops to get a visa or run an appreciable risk of being turned back on arrival because the immigration officer thinks shes a hooker. And probably make more money than she would in Costa Rica. There are still lots of Colombian hookers in Panama, Spain, Mexico, and, as a % of the hooker population, St Maarten. You could find them in Singapore, Hong Kong and even Bangkok just before COVID. I'm not sure if they've returned to Asia.

Just returned from a short stay in San Jos. Stayed at the Taormina for three nights and two nights at Hotel Castillo. Thought I'the try something new at the Castillo. Very unimpressed. The no guest fee and all inclusive (food and drinks) are a plus, but the room was small, almost claustrophobic, and not as nice as rooms at the Taormina, which aren't that great but good enough for what you're there for.
A few women (I can't remember there ever being more than three, almost all on the mature side) were at the Castillo every now and then, but the Taormina was hopping. I was there in Feb / March and there was a good number in the upstairs bar but only a smattering in the Jungle Bar. This time the upstairs bar was packed and the Jungle Bar was hopping too. I would say almost twice as many women, which I wasn't expecting during the rainy season. There were even women there in the morning; I didn't see any until mid-afternoon in Feb / March.
There were a variety of women at the Taormina, in a range of ages, shapes, sizes, and shades.
Walked through the Del Rey a couple of times. A few women here and there, all older. All the machines are gone. I don't know why they are still open.
Biggest surprise was that during the rainy season, it didn't rain until my last night there. They're having a very dry wet season.

It's a bit of a shame really. I got to experience the tail end of the glory days in CR. I started going in 2017 and can't believe how packed HDR and the Cocal were with girls from all over Latin America relative to now. There are (fortunately) enough Ticas to bridge the gap, but part of the fun was the variety and better leverage with pricing. I'll be back down in a week's time to scope it out. I wonder if any Venezuelans are making their way onto the scene given the recent migratory crisis.

The only time I stayed there I got one of the "Penthouse Suites" ; very spacious with a covered outdoor sitting area. The suites tend to a bit noisy as parties move to them after the bar closes.
The Taormina and Sportsman's are the go to places for most of the girls now. October, November and December are very popular months for the Gringo hotels. In fact, the Taormina is increasing the nightly room rates for, Halloween and Super Bowl weekend because of their popularity.
I was last at the Taormina in July and from Wednesday to Saturday the bar was packed at night. It really drops off from Sunday through Tuesday.
I'll be back at the Taormina in a couple weeks and will provide an update.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"!LOL this one met up with me, didn't want to do anything but have sex because she was high off coke, kept running to the bathroom every sec to sniff cocaine. Came out with powder in her nose acting like she was loss and breathing heavily, wanted 150 for her time (I'm assuming to buy more drugs) but she didn't have a bank account so tried to follow me around until I got her cash, told her that wasn't happening then lost her in a bar when I went to get drinks, which was followed up by some very "threatening" messages the police read everything and took all her info down even her photos.

She runs with another girl named Jimena. Both gángster girls. They sniff either gato (ketamine) or Tusi. Bad news all around. If you're staying at the Taormina, put her name and pic on the list, they will ban her ass.

Let me tell you about those Indians. They get a room and stay 4-5 deep at a time. They pay the girl 600-800 and do a circle jerk while watching one or multiples fuck her. I'm tight with the front desk girls and they tell me the stories these girls relay to them. I've seen 4-5 Indians go up with one girl myself on several occasions. It's fucking disgusting and so are they. Stay away from girls that touch these Indian guys.My throat has felt funny since I've dealt with that girl, so maybe you're right. She was crying for her $800 saying I'm bad person for not giving it to her.

Has a tattoo of a 9 mm and brass knuckles on her right thigh; classy, right? I'm in the states and she tried to hit me up for money on WhatsApp so she could go to a dentist to get a wisdom tooth pulled. Might have had a wad of gum in her cheek in the photo of her swollen jaw for all I know. I laughed to myself and replied; "Well, you better get to the Taormina and shake that ass!" She didn't like that answer.
When you give a girl your WhatsApp number; she feels it's ok to message you out of the blue to ask you for money even when you're not in country anymore.

I'd say 8 out of 10 hot me up after to ask for cash. It's almost expected. These are tricks of the hoe trade. And there's always a sob story.

After the majority of girls will hit you up asking for cash if they feel comfortable with you and think they can get $$$ out of you. The nicer you are the thicker the line of bullshit will be.
Just tell them up front, you're here for a good time not for a long time. Nothing wrong with being generous but make no mistake they are also asking 4 or 5 other dudes for whatever amount they think they can get.
I just got a WhatsApp message today and I'm not even sure from which girl. I am expecting some kind of $$ request.
This is the game we are in and play. They are playing the same game just on the opposite side of the field.
Any tips on how to avoid this? I'm a novice to WhatsApp and do know that it's linked to my actual phone number.Only connect on WhatsApp with those you can trust. Don't accept or respond to any unknown contacts. Block anyone suspicious. Last, don't divulge a lot of personal info that someone can use to track you over the internet and use that against you. If you travel a lot, best to get a cheap burner phone that isn't tied to you, directly.

I've been going to CR for over 10 years now. Before I begin, I must just give a quick shotout to the man who helped me from the start. If you are a CRT member, then you will know him as POPS. I tried to keep a relatively low profile, but Pops was the person who from the start, up until my last and final trip was a friend. So thank you to all the members on CRT and especially to Pops for being the homie we all need.
Costa Rica is a beautiful place. There is so much I wish to share.
1. First, The Del Rey is no more. It closed before Covid If I recall correctly. I imagine this is what a THERMAE CAFE in Thailand is like. The Del Rey was a hotle where freelancers would come looking for clients in a casino. Now that its closed, lets move on.
2. My favorite spot, The Sportsmens Lodge which ill call SL. SL is the best place for us in CR. When I first was introduced to CR, I stumbled upon CRT. That's where Pops and I connected. What an awesome guy he was with his book. Hahaha. Anyways, the day I met pops online, he recommended I stay here. And I did, it was like $110 a night. Get the CRT card you get a discount. The cool thing with SL is its very much like Del Rey. Except way cleaner and better environment. TVs and a huge bar in the main lobby. All girls that enter must provide ID and not be on the banned list. The management of this spot does an amazing job of making sure everyone's safe and comfortable. In a good location and the rooms are pretty dope and unique in their own ways.
3. Massages: I have only went to 2 massage spots. 1 of them was owned by another CRT member. Anyways I don't like the massage scene I am more of a guy who likes to meet chicks and have good connections.
4. Chicks: Through the years, SJ has been my homebase. Meeting women and taking them on trips to Manuel Antonio, Arenal, etc. I will be brief with one review. This was MANY years ago. Her name was Karen, she was a regular at the SL. She used to be skinny, but got chubby. She was a very good GFE kinda gal. Very sensual and what we all crave. Anyways I met her in the lobby at SL. She saw me staring and came over for a drink. We immediately had fun. After 2 nights of fun in SJ, we decided she would join me to Manuel Antonio where we stayed at the Selena Hostel Villas. Private area with a private pool. It was beautiful. We had a great time, we took interbus shuttle there, we enjoyed 3 nights of pure romance and fun, and came back in one piece. Needless to say, that memory has stuck with me through the years.
5. Other places: Jaco Cocal Casino is like Hong Kong of Tijuanna. Except freelancers all around a pool. You can checkout the other many spots like Jaco Blue and other spots in Jaco for gals. Jaco is a pretty seedy spots. Guanacaste is beautiful. La Fortuna, Arenal, go white water rafting level 4. You can go up to for an ATV adventure. You can go to Nosara and Tamarindo for some escape and new scenery. Man I can't say enough good things about Costa Rica. I love it. I lived in Guanacaste for 8 months, as well as Alajuela for another 5.
6. Cost: From my memory, you can get girls overnight for $100 if you are good at negotiating. As a younger person, it was easy for me. But YMMV. I recommend $120 a night budget just in case. ST you can get for no more than $80.
If anyone is going and needs any further advice, please do not hesitate to ask. Pops was someone who taught me that helping and guiding others is a good thing. So in his memory, I will try to do the same for others.

If you see a particular girl in SL; you'll likely see her at the Taormina as well later on. SL is a ***** if you like to walk. The SL is also limited as to the number of rooms if you're traveling over a busy holiday.
No one will argue about the demise of the Hel Ray, but I believe it is still open; no casino though.
I'm back down there this Friday and a report will follow.
I saw this happen in Thailand a few times over the years. The girl agrees to one guy, or maybe two, but then she gets to the room and they come out of the bathroom or closets. Or else just show up at the door. Odd stuff. I didn't know it was happening in Latin America.Or, as I saw it one time, they negotiate the price for 5 people, and off they go, and come back and the chica is smiling with the money she got and everyone is happy. There was certainly no ambush by extra guys or anything negative or illegal. One time in Costa Rica is what I am referring to.

I just have respect for the lounge. Pops was a homie. He was definitely someone who would help out everyone on their first trips. I was young when I came solo for the first time. Pops respected me and treated me well. Sportsmens Lodge and the ladies at the bar, the front desk, the security guards, the whole thing. Love it.

In March I had the chance to spend a few days in San Jose on a layover between some international flights.
I prearranged the transit from the airport to the city center for 49 $, everything worked well and the driver welcomed me with a sign with my name.
The girl of the night shift was very attractive and nice and checked me in without problems. I stored my luggage in the room and went back down and asked her where to go for some drinks.
She mentioned the typical locations Hotel del Rey, Sportesmen Bar and so on. For security reasons she advised me to take a taxi and and told me the maximum price to pay for the short distance.
I went to the famous hotel Del Rey and had a drink, a lot of beautiful girls there, but all of them were too pushy to invite them directly for short term. It looked like it was the last round to make business for them before closure and they wanted to fix the short term business. Not my taste at all.
So I lost the mood and went back to the hotel.
The girl looked a little bit astonished that I was back so quickly alone and asked me what happened and why I did not come back with a girl. Just told her the truth and said something like "the girls there are not as beautiful as you and not as friendly" which made her smiling even more. She showed to the bar of the hotel and said we have also drinks, even cheaper than in the hotel del Rey. I answered but here I have to drink alone, she smiled and said you can drink with me as a joke. Anyway, she served me and declined the invitation for a drink due to her work, but stayed and talked with me. It was quite a good talking, with some flirting which to which she responded verbally and emotionally, but she kept distance. Anyway, good to kill the time until I was sleepy and went to the room. When I checked my cellphone there was a message. She wrote that she got the number from my booking and that she liked to talk with me also very much but could not come closer due to the video security system in the hotel, but that she had the next two days off. She finished that I can either respond if I like to see her again, otherwise she would delete my number for discretion and asked for apology for this.
Of course I told her that I would be keen to meet her again, then she told me that it is not possible in the hotel and suggested me to book another hotel for the next two days and proposed the hotel Vesuvio some streets away, which I booked through hotels.com at a good rate for the double room.
When I woke up her shift was finished and she left. I made an excuse at her colleague that I had to change my plans and it was possible to cancel the 2 more nights without problem and getting the money back.
Also the check in for a double room at Hotel Vesuvio was no problem, I just told them that my girlfriend arrives later, they never asked for her ID.
She arrived around 3 pm and started kissing and hugging me like she never had a man before. These led to some very hot and passionate Sex until it was time to go to dinner, for which she found a decent Restaurant. Afterwards we went back to my new hotel for another round of sex and fell both satisfied asleep.
The next morning she proposed a tour to the Volcano Poas and asked a cousin to bring us there. Concerning the money she said just drink and food for him and the gasoline. Quite a very good deal.
The only disadvantage, she asked for discretion and asked me to react like a customer who booked a tour with her. No kissing in front of him.
Anyway it was a nice tour, great sight at the volcano and during the trip. And of course we found some minutes alone for hugs and kissing. When we came back in the evening she went home again and came back to me just 11 pm. We had a few drinks next to the hotel together, good conversation and flirting and she came back to my room.
Another great night. I prefer to stay together over night than just short term sex.
The next morning it was time to say goodbye, and I politely asked her if she needs some moment for her studies, and she said that she has to pay about 200 $, but that I am not obliged to give her somethin. But of course I gave her the 200 $ and the rest of my local currency. She insisted that her cousin will bring me to the airport, which he did and he was astonished when I asked him how much, because he said that I already paid the transfer to her.
Anyway, as he was a good company the day before and I paid so few money for the trip to the volcano I gave him a tip of 20 $ which he liked very much.
So it was a wonderful time for me in Costa Rica with a real GFE. From time to time we still exchange WhatsApp.
Got to the hotel about 12 pm from the airport. About 15 minutes to get through immigration. If you get a flight with an arrival time of 1 pm; you will likely see long lines at immigration because 3 - 4 flights all arrive within minutes of each other. My Jet Blue flight arrived about 11:50 am, so no big lines. Headed to the duty free shop for some wine to take to the room; $48 total, not bad! My appointed driver was waiting for me and we made it to the Taormina in about 25 minutes with some congestion in the city. Due to my early arrival at the hotel, my check-in was delayed until 2 pm. After a quick unpack and shower, I headed down to the hotel bar to canvass the afternoon delights. To my surprise, there were a good 30 or so girls already at the bar from 3 pm - 6 pm. I took a break in my room for a bit, then headed back down about 8:30 pm. There were slightly fewer girls, but hard to tell because there is always an influx of new girls arriving throughout the night. I saw several of the older girls from the Del Ray in they bar. There were maybe 10 that looked very nice with no obvious baby bumps. Some girls looked a little coked out. In fact, there was a Tico in the bar who was asking if you wanted some "blow". I had a regular girl come to meet me, so no details about that other than to say; I tend to hook up with girls I've done in the past so I know what I'm getting, LOL.
The girls start filtering in about 12:00 noon with most afternoon girls arriving about 2 pm. There is usually a lull between 5 pm - 8 pm. The busiest time for night activity is 9 pm - 11 pm.
The Taormina has a very nice new gym that I used this morning. That's why the rates have and will go up in 2024.

In March I had the chance to spend a few days in San Jose on a layover between some international flights.
I prearranged the transit from the airport to the city center for 49 $, everything worked well and the driver welcomed me with a sign with my name.
The girl of the night shift was very attractive and nice and checked me in without problems. I stored my luggage in the room and went back down and asked her where to go for some drinks.
She mentioned the typical locations Hotel del Rey, Sportesmen Bar and so on. For security reasons she advised me to take a taxi and and told me the maximum price to pay for the short distance.
I went to the famous hotel Del Rey and had a drink, a lot of beautiful girls there, but all of them were too pushy to invite them directly for short term. It looked like it was the last round to make business for them before closure and they wanted to fix the short term business. Not my taste at all.
So I lost the mood and went back to the hotel.
The girl looked a little bit astonished that I was back so quickly alone and asked me what happened and why I did not come back with a girl. Just told her the truth and said something like "the girls there are not as beautiful as you and not as friendly" which made her smiling even more. She showed to the bar of the hotel and said we have also drinks, even cheaper than in the hotel del Rey. I answered but here I have to drink alone, she smiled and said you can drink with me as a joke. Anyway, she served me and declined the invitation for a drink due to her work, but stayed and talked with me. It was quite a good talking, with some flirting which to which she responded verbally and emotionally, but she kept distance. Anyway, good to kill the time until I was sleepy and went to the room. When I checked my cellphone there was a message. She wrote that she got the number from my booking and that she liked to talk with me also very much but could not come closer due to the video security system in the hotel, but that she had the next two days off. She finished that I can either respond if I like to see her again, otherwise she would delete my number for discretion and asked for apology for this.This poor guy is going to get blown up with questions and request for her WhatsApp, the hotel she works for, and much more LOL.
Oh yeah what hotel was the first one you checked into? Asking for my friends.
Just returned from a four night stay; Friday. Tuesday. This place is still thriving and getting better. The hotel sports bar and restaurant are now open 24-hours. The casino is now open from 8 am - 5 am! In addition, they have a very nice gym above the Jungle Bar. They are ramping up for big browns over Halloween and for the Super Bowl next year. Every afternoon and evening there were several girls before the night crew arrives. Though Wednesday through Saturday attract the most women.
Stopped in Sportsman's Lodge on Sunday late afternoon; only 3-4 girls all were lacking in quality. It's a great bar to get something to eat and watch sports.
The Del Ray is open, but still depleted of a casino and I hear the air conditioning is not currently working.
My contact who makes reservations for the Taormina, Dunn Inn and Cocal; tells me that the Coal is already full for January, February and March next year.

Hey everybody. I am in town for three weeks more. Just spent the first week in San Jose. Things I can tell you, Del rey is dead. Went last night bc Taormina was a little slow. Let me put slow into perspective. They were probably 50 to 75 girls there last night. Ranging from 3-9's. I was quoted $300, then $250, then $200, then $120. Honestly, the one that I left with. Was a California 8-9. Super hot. Natural banging body. Young. Fresh 20. The sex was like a rodeo. She rode me as hard as she could. I wasn't rushed, but it wasn't the best. She kept checking her phone. Left the bedroom maybe 3 times. Oral was covered.
Basically, you'll find what you want there. For everyone.
Going back tonight for a Friday night. Then off to Jacó tomorrow.
I hope that helps guys. Ask any questions you may have. Good luck and happy hunting.

Hey guys,
I'm planning a trip to Costa Rica and was wondering if you guys see any thick / curvy girls in San Jose? To give more of an example of what I mean, look up Sosua girls Pudo TV on Youtube and the ones featured in the thumbnails are generally what I mean by thick. Are there any girls built like that in San Jose? I'm looking at staying at Hotel Taoermina as well and am hoping there are some thick girls like that around that area. Please let me know.
Reads like an advertisement for Sportsman's Lodge. The bar is nice, but it's very noisy if you're looking to get some sleep. If you see a particular girl in SL; you'll likely see her at the Taormina as well later on. SL is a ***** if you like to walk. The SL is also limited as to the number of rooms if you're traveling over a busy holiday.
No one will argue about the demise of the Hel Ray, but I believe it is still open; no casino though.
I'm back down there this Friday and a report will follow.What happened to the del Ray. That place was a cash cow. Casino closed? Why?

Please let me know.There are plenty plenty of thick girls in Costa Rica, and a good number of thin ones as well. I'm partial to medium or thin and have never had an issue. But if you like thick you will be in the clover, there are many many many. You won't know who to choose. You'll find them all over San Jose and Jaco.
I love the whole aspect of grabbing a few drinks and sitting back knowing this whole room is mine for the taking. Hell this whole town of girls is mine for the taking.
What happened to the del Ray. That place was a cash cow. Casino closed? Why?Failed to pay their taxes. They can't get a license to run the casino. The Blue Marlin bar is the only thing keeping them open at all, but they have no girls or guests. They're dying a slow death.

Does anyone stay outside the hotel casinos, and is able to bring their guest back without a huge fee?
Does anyone stay outside the hotel casinos, and is able to bring their guest back without a huge fee?The hotels with casinos do not welcome working girl guests. The ways in which they do this varies, for example the guest fee for the Holiday Inn downtown is around $100 US last time I heard. Not sure about the other 2 or 3 but I expect they are the same.

And I did that route a few months aga and I was not asked. However I am a senior so I did not know if younger people were asked about it or not.The definitive answer from one of the CR Govt site is that it is required for all of Colombia but not for Medellin, Bogota, Cali etc.
And yes, people above 60 don't need it.

Over the last few years have started to use Seeking when I travel to mix my experiences especially to inlude semi-pros and also given I don't speak the local language well. Would Appreciate any insights.I had very good success with seeking two years ago. A mix of semi pros, students and older women. Free, $100 to $300. Every lady spoke English. Stayed a bit outside the city at Residence Inn San Jose Escazu. Met the lady at the coffee shop next door and up the elevator with no bother. Then, went to Jaco where. It is a total sex haven.
I've spent a lot of time living and working near San Jose the past 3 years. I've hit up mostly massage places and independent listings offering massage. I want to find a girl just for casual relations with, but not a stranger with a fast sales pitch. I've never been into the scene like that, always been through the way of massages.
But now I'm looking for like. A friend with benefits who I pay. Someone to take out for dinner but also fuck all night. Where the hell are these kind of tica girls? I've spent a year of my life in total in this country across various visits, and I'm really still lost as to how to flirt with these girls. I don't know if they are too bashful or if I am. My Spanish and tico-isms are great.
Where would you guys go looking?

Where would you guys go looking?Lots of expats have regulars. Working girls that they see once or twice a week, for an hour, and everyone has their own lives. But having someone that regularly stays over night is very different as most of these chicas have children and husbands or boyfriends and many times other jobs. But at the right price you may find that. If they like you and you put in a few thousand dollars per month I'm sure you could find someone.
I don't know any bit spanish other than gracias and mucho word. Used translator but plenty of options. I stayed in little havana. Bar attendars were very nice and I had plenty of offers. Most of them are nice. I treated one regular girl coming there by name Luna. Was very friendly. Took her for one session and then after that every time she sees me she comes from my back and showers kisses. I buy her some drinks. She kept messaging me every day for a week I was in San Jose. In general, other than the homeless sight people are very kind.
For two days, I stayed in hostals and made plenty of friends and they are open as well if you have time.
I stayed in Taormina for two days. Picked one or two from the lobby (one cuban as well). All of them very very friendly and were open to any meets. When next day I met them in hotel casino / lobby they came over and were always present besides me and every now and then they will check if I wanted to have them. Same with the other girl I took.
I am sure they are open for long terms with nice treatment to them. I never paid more than 30 k for any sessions in Taormina. I guess its heaven, may be business was slow. I have seen some staying till mornings without any client. This was in October.

Where would you guys go looking?Play the cards in your hand. Don't confuse ho's with friends (with ir without benefits).
1. Continue pulling your fuck buddies from the Sportsmina environment. You will pay tourist monger prices for tourist targeting putas. No problem there. BUT play with them away from where you live (Oficina, Solo Bueno, Fantasy Rooms, etc).
2. Live away from Amon, Otoya, Carmen. If you are under 40, try Escalante. Over 50, try Pavas, Escalante, Santa Ana. Live your life. Visit local restaurants, gyms, parks, etc. Keep your mongering separate from daily living. Don't hide it, but don't flaunt it.
3. Eventually, you may, or may not, develop acquaintances who are younger (IE students) who occasionally need money (tuition). Let them bring the subject up. The level of discretion needed will correspond to your age difference. It's ok to try social media but don't confuse sex workers with civilians. If she parties, has children or tats, is not in school and doesn't have a full time career, then she is a sex worker. Nothing wrong with that, just follow sex worker protocol.
4. Remember, you are always the rich gringo and it is always a game.

I visited there for 2 days over the weekend. And, some of the women are now delusional. 2 top women were asking for $200 and now even the average ones are asking for $200. Maybe they think they are in Jaco. But, please. Never pay that crazy amount around here. And, yes I know they can ask what they want. But, in over 6 years. I have never heard of these starting prices. Maybe I am just older now, LOL.

One girl was bragging that she was getting $500 from them, because that's what they were willing to pay. Whether it's naivety or foolishness, that what gringos are up against. If a tica tells me $200 in the Taormina, I smile, shake my head and move on. Chances are she'll eventually come down to "market prices"!

I have noticed an increase in the 'thug culture'. It becoming a biker bar without the bikers. The charming twist last Friday was that half the casino crowd was frumpy 50+ year old Ticas playing the slots.

Pension 69 was open. And the 2 new Pensions down the block from Taormina were open. But, I didn't see any I wanted.
Good luck fellas. Give them hell, LOL.
It does finally look to be the end of an era. First hand reports from two different forums, one gringo and one Tico, confirm that unescorted women are no longer allowed in the hotel. Also the Key Largo FB page, where is it called a "cultural center" announced an artsy "concert" that will be held in the Del Rey "ballroom" on December 15. Now of course there will be some that will laugh, claim it won't work and that the girls will be back, but there seems to be some powerful forces interested in revamping at least this area of Barrio Amon. Do recall that the Key Largo is a 19th century mansion and a national historic site.

I returned from Thailand two weeks ago and wasn't overly impressed with Bangkok or Pattaya. Perhaps it's because I don't find Thai women overly attractive. Perhaps it was the atmosphere. The 26 hours in airports and aircraft were brutal as was the time difference. Some of the cultural things proved quite interesting although flooded with tourists. Money goes a long way in Thailand, a very long way. Check one off the bucket list.
I am also not interested in returning to the Dominican Republic. Sosua now offers an unwanted experience and BlackBeard's closes at 9 PM on a good night.
This leaves me looking for another place close to the USA, or at least in a close time zone. Costa Rica tops the list right now. The forum states San Jose offers a sufficient quantity of women in the Gringo Gulch area despite the Del Ray closing. I have read where it's challenging to find housing that allows for guests and am trying to find a place that may allow that. My Spanish is rusty at best, but it gets me by in the Dominican. For those who have visited the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, what are the largest differences?
I pondered Cuba for a brief moment, but not much information exists on this board, and other travel forums indicated Cuba hasn't pulled out of the crisis after Covid.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help.Having been to both the DR and CR; I find CR generally safer and more girls in CR speak at least minimal English. The CR doesn't have the bar scene that the DR has; at least not bars that gringos would be safe going to. The CR doesn't have "casas" that you'll find in the DR, but the CR has a thriving massage environment. The DR is more of a beach environment, unless you're staying inland. San Jose is strictly urban; with the nearest beach about 90 minutes away (Jaco).
"Housing where guests are allowed" is hard to find in CR and is expensive as well. DR has the dark girls; CR has lighter skinned girls. DR is probably cheaper overall.
Last, with the Del Rey in the toilet, there are fewer places a gringo can go to get P4P ladies. The Taormina and Cocal are the two largest venues in CR.
The "Key Largo" is no longer owned or run by the Hotel Del Rey; the city controls it now.Then that makes it the more interesting that events to be held at the Del Rey are announced on the Key Largo Facebook page. Also the pictures of girls and casino games have been removed from the Del Rey website. The connection between the two is very difficult to deny.

Safety proves essential when traveling, so that comes first. I eliminated Columbia from possible countries based on all the safety concern expressed in ISG and other travel forums. I am familiar with inner cities in the US, but it seems like the inner city of San Jose might be more challenging based upon what others mention. Hopefully the inner city of San Jose improves during the day for things like finding restaurants, etc.
I am too old for the bar scene and never really go to it in the DR or even Thailand when visiting there. I really don't care much for the massage scene, so it may be best to find another location to visit other than Costa Rica. The great thing about this forum is forum members and reports help eliminate things one doesn't like.
I looked at Cuba, but it's in the midst of a huge crisis, so back to the drawing board.
If Brazil wasn't four times the price of Costa Rica for tickets and twice as far, it would be an easy choice.
Can someone refresh my memory of the name of this house slash hotel. It was owned or run by a couple brothers. Is it still open as a hotel. It's on the same street the del Rey is on but on the opposite side of the street.

https://hoteldelreycasino.com/photo-gallery/Yep. Starting to look like it was not just the Del Rey giving the Key Largo property back to the government, but something more that involves the Del Rey as well. Have no idea in reality, and I've heard all the stories. But reality is that there is art on display on the walls where the casino once was, and the bars have no one in them, and unaccompanied chicas are not allowed in, and there is a cultural event in the "ballroom" next weekend. So the Del Rey of the past is gone, and it seems very unlikely that it will ever be back.

Kind of a weirdo, some say gas been, who travels around the country. There was a bit of notoriety a while back with the griup / album Evolution. He is the artistic headliner for the evening before an announcement about a "game changing" development plan by someone hosting the event.
Have no idea what you are referring to. Calle or Avenida? Anyway, nothing there. Only thing close was Morazan and it is long gone, closed.When I say it's on the other side of the street, I don't mean literally. My bad on explaining. If you exit del Reys main larger entrance where all the hookers and blackjack tables were and walk left, you would go down that street a few blocks and it was on the right side. Street lights were minimum at the time. Dark area at that time. This was probably 15 years ago. BTW, what happened to morazon.
Thank you for the information. Safety proves essential when traveling, so that comes first. I eliminated Columbia from possible countries based on all the safety concern expressed in ISG and other travel forums. I am familiar with inner cities in the US, but it seems like the inner city of San Jose might be more challenging based upon what others mention. Hopefully the inner city of San Jose improves during the day for things like finding restaurants, etc.
I am too old for the bar scene and never really go to it in the DR or even Thailand when visiting there. I really don't care much for the massage scene, so it may be best to find another location to visit other than Costa Rica. The great thing about this forum is forum members and reports help eliminate things one doesn't like.
I looked at Cuba, but it's in the midst of a huge crisis, so back to the drawing board.
If Brazil wasn't four times the price of Costa Rica for tickets and twice as far, it would be an easy choice.For me from the USA; the trip to Pattaya is well worth the long flights. I've been going to Pattaya twice a year for the past 10 years. That place puts most all others to shame.

It was a " cheap Charlie" hotel for those who didn't want to pay Hotel Del Rey prices. No big loss; it was a dump. Though it did provide "short time" rooms.
I eliminated Columbia from possible countries based on the fact I couldn't even spell it so I was way scaredFixed that one for you.

I am headed to San Jose in a couple of days. I got on the Hotel Del Rey website and it appeared that I could book a room. Is the hotel open and is it back to business as usual?
I am headed to San Jose in a couple of days. I got on the Hotel Del Rey website and it appeared that I could book a room. Is the hotel open and is it back to business as usual?Wow. You can book a room, but the Del Rey is nothing like the past. No women on site, no casino, nada. But on the 15th there is a concert of some kind introducing the new era for the Del Rey which is as a cultural centre.
I am headed to San Jose in a couple of days. I got on the Hotel Del Rey website and it appeared that I could book a room. Is the hotel open and is it back to business as usual?When considered just as a hotel or place to stay, the Del Rey was never a good value and I can't imagine it is now either.
The Morazan was shuttered when Covid hit. It was a " cheap Charlie" hotel for those who didn't want to pay Hotel Del Rey prices. No big loss; it was a dump. Though it did provide "short time" rooms.There are decent rooms at Morazon when I stayed. Room included breakfast. Not any star level hotel. Casino downstairs was decent. Plenty of people at the bar in the evening. Mostly locals. I did hook up with couple of them. There were no chica fees like at Del Ray. I guess the place died along with Del Ray. I used to stay at Hotel Presidente around the corner till they got strict and would not allow any lady visitors. Initially they would allow anyone as long as they kept the cedula. Afterwards they allowed only one girl per day but I used to sneak in many because on the second level there was a way from their casino to the elevator bypassing security.
I am headed to San Jose in a couple of days. I got on the Hotel Del Rey website and it appeared that I could book a room. Is the hotel open and is it back to business as usual?With no casino or girls of any quality; I wouldn't stay there for free. With the casino gone, so is the currency exchange. In the last two years I've stopped in the HDR to see how the Blue Marlin Bar was doing on occasion and was not overly surprised to see some of the same girls that were regulars in there 10 - 15 years ago still there holding up the bar. All the good looking bartenders have aged and been forced out. For anyone who has been to the HDR the past 20 years; the good looking bartenders were well worth visiting the bar. I still have a couple of the yearly calendars of the HDR bartenders. Over the years the overall quality of the HDR has been in decline; from the letting Ticos into the bar, the decline of the sister property the Key Largo Bar, the contracting out of the casino, etc. The HDR will likely die a long slow death until the loans disappear and lack of maintenance accelerates. A sad but fitting ending.

A sad but fitting ending.I can confirm this. I went to the Del Rey yesterday, my first day in CR. The only people in the lobby were the people that worked there. The bar in the lobby near what used to be the hotel was completely dead. When I asked the lady at the front desk about room rates, she began the hard sell. I guess it is the same in CR as it is in the USA. "always be closing. " I had a beer at the Blue Marlin Bar, it was about 7 in the evening. It was just me and the bartender, who spoke no English at all. So I guess they are not planning for an American clientele. Completely dead. The cost for a standard room, according to their website, was $79 per night. Taormina is about $100 and you can get a basic room at Sportsman's for $75.
A decade and a half ago when I first came to CR, you could not move in the Blue Marlin, it was that packed. I met a woman at Key Largo who was drop dead hot. She looked like a super model. She wanted the standard $100 but dropped it to $50. I went to the Blue Marlin to get a internet connection one morning and there bar was full of hot older ladies cleaning up guys with the early morning hornies. Those were the days.

Are they all in Jaco' now? Or. ?Some have $2 or $3 per hour jobs. Better than nothing for the year or two when stuff was shut down. Many of the Del Rey gals were too old for the business any more so lots of "retirements". And many work at other venues such as those mentioned in other posts here. Jaco is an option for a few of them, many go down for weekends or multiday stints, but they can have a bad week there and spend money to get down there and stay there, and not get enough business to cover their costs.
But in a more general sense the ho business is not as compelling as it used to be. The hundred dollar ask, which has been around for a long time, buys a lot lot less than it did say 10 years ago. And while a few more may get that hundred dollar paycheck when they do get a customer, it goes half as far as it did about 8 years ago. So they find other life options.

I visited there for 2 days over the weekend. And, some of the women are now delusional. 2 top women were asking for $200 and now even the average ones are asking for $200. Maybe they think they are in Jaco. But, please. Never pay that crazy amount around here. And, yes I know they can ask what they want. But, in over 6 years. I have never heard of these starting prices. Maybe I am just older now, LOL.Was thinking about a visit in a few weeks. Right around the most $$ weekend of the year. Is the the average price of a session $100? Heard it was getting to $150. $200 could be a NYE supply and demand premium.
How is the pension, bar, casa scene these days? Are spots like New Fantasy still around?

Some girls won't do BBBJ, so a propina may suffice in that case. There are plenty of girls in SJ that will do it for $80; but are lesser quality. Jaco girls quote $200 as a base, because they figure the guys visiting the beach can afford it. It's all in the negotiations. Jaco girls can still, be had for $100 - $150. The quality in Jaco is generally better than San Jose. You can still get a decent girl and decent service at a SJ pension for $60.

You can still get a decent girl and decent service at a SJ pension for $60.I was talking to a guy in a downtown sports bar watching the Sunday Night Football blow out. Never thought I would feel bad for Dallas fans. He said that a girl at the Taormina quoted $500. When he asked her how she would ask that price he stated that she said "I'm beautiful", which he said she was. Being a wise man he said he sent her on her way. Having cocktails with a couple of guys later that night they were saying girls were asking $300 in Jaco but you could get them down to $150. What the hell is going on with pricing? A year ago at the Sportsmen's every girl was looking for $100. I was into a game and blew a couple of girls off. Later a pretty Nica said she would take $80 so I could not resist. I have been doing the pensions so far but what is going on at Taormina and Jaco these days?

I have been doing the pensions so far but what is going on at Taormina and Jaco these days?Nothing is going on that has not been going on for several years. Girls were asking $200 or $300 hundred in Jaco in past years, and once in a while in San Jose $150 or $200. Some hold out for their asking price, most will drop it, but the base rate is around $80 in San Jose although not all will take that. In Jaco, not sure, I haven't been there myself for a while, but I've heard that $150 is more the base rate, and sometimes they will take a bit less, perhaps later in the evening, or before they leave to go back to wherever they are from. But same girl in Jaco may hold out for $150 and yet happily take $100 in San Jose. They know the competition and how they rate as far as chance of success. Lots of the $200 and $300 dollar girls in Jaco actually get that as there are lots of visiting bachelor types down for parties, staying at fancy places, or wealthy people who don't know prices at all. So that becomes a price. Anyway, this is nothing that different than a few years ago. Perhaps on average the minimum has gone up $20 on the low end and $50 or so on the high end.
As for $500 at Taormina. If she is that beautiful I bet she gets that occasionally. Because there are those guys that just cannot resist the most beautiful one in the room, their ego whatever.
Some went to Taormina.Is it possible to pay for a room at the Taormina with cash? Don't want it on my credit card.
New Fantasy is a pile of rubble.I'm heading down for my 12th annual Super Bowl Vacation in San Jose. Have a fairly good handle on what's happening and pricing in Jaco, Sportsman's Lodge and Taoromina. But have been plowing through the thread and can't get a handle on what locations like New Fantasy are open? Closed? Are any of them still around?
Any word on anything good at the strip clubs? Alcazar etc?

Technically it should.
Maybe a e mail to the hotel directly might solve the issue.

One of the newly made bar buddies took me Calle 6 between Ave 5 and 3 I believe. There are a few local bars and 3 or 4 brothels for locals there. The going rate for a session was about $20,10,000 colones. Most of the women there big or old or both. I was able to find a diamond there, she was from Colombia and could be working in much better place or at the Sportsmen or Taormina. While drinking a beer in one of the local dive bars I got to see a girl fight in the street. One of the working girls was fighting with what appeared to be a drug addict. She took her earring off, chased her down and went to work on her. On the walk back my buddie and I stopped of at Pension / Massage Krysis. The women in there were not much better looking than the ones at the discount brothels on Calle 6. Krysis was in crisis. We checked out a few other places but nothing was really great.
I received a cut and paste whatsapp message from a HÉCTOR MENDEZ as I left San Jose. Wondering if anyone else got this? In my week stay I managed to meet two girls in Taormina (one good, one awful) and none from SA or Skokka.

If you don't want this to turn into a personal problem with you and your family, it would be best if we reach an agreement for good since I have my hitmen OPERATING ALL OVER THE AREA is nearby waiting for you to give me an answer because if you don't answer me or block me I will order you to bring him here to our ranch to make him pay the wrong way or to pick him up immediately and bring me his head, so that it remains It is very clear that here I DO NOT WANT TO INVOLVE YOUR FAMILY, I await your response if you want to FIX this in the GOOD way or PROCEED in the BAD way IMMEDIATELY WHERE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY FORGIVENESS.

The women in there were not much better looking than the ones at the discount brothels on Calle 6. Krysis was in crisis. We checked out a few other places but nothing was really great.I was at Krysis back in the Spring I think, or was it 2 Springs ago? And the left half of the building turned into a night club that night and there was a big party on a small crowded dance floor with bar service. Generally, the atmosphere felt unsafe and a lot of locals were telling me and each other who to be aware of. But the dance floor was hot and I think the danger level brought up the temperature for everyone. There were definitely a lot of shady characters. But so many young, hot chicks too. It was like a dance floor full of semi-pros or want to-bes.
Eventually someone asked me if I saw a girl I liked or whatever and it wasn't even apparent that any of them were "available" in that way. It seemed like we were all just dancing. Then they find this one chick and bring her to me to introduce us and we dance a little bit before we wind up walking off to one of the rooms upstairs and hooking up, for money of course.
She was one of the hottest chicks I've ever been with and so young and sweet looking, but also hot and edgy like you'd want to find at the club. But, one of the worst lays ever. She was genuinely not into it and we didn't have much fun. I could tell she was new to all this and I got her number, but it wound up that we were arguing and never met up.
Weird night and I've never seen that place alive with a party again, but mostly only shuttered during the day. Do they even really do massages in there? That night was like a fever dream.
I was asking what place "Like" New Fantasy still exist? New Strip Club updates. If any? But thank you!!There are pensiones which are more or less like what New Fantasy was. And there are still strip clubs, but I have not gone to any in a number of years. The pensiones are talked about in some previous posts but as the girls working in them change from day to day it is hard to say that any one is better than others. Monicas, Oasis, Pension 360, Muses, Relax, are a few of the ones that some gringos go to. They are a day time option and most are closed in the early evening. Most of the visiting mongers stay at either Sportsmens, Castillo, or Taormina, and there are various girls that work the bars in these hotels, and that would be the main way that visiting mongers hook up. The largest volume would be Taormina, then Sportsmens, then Castillo (it is smaller and often only a few chicas there at any given time).

The guy's supposedly in charge of the assassins for the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, a Mexican cartel, and he's attaching a notarized certification from the Public Security Ministry of Costa Rica saying you owe 700,000,000 colones? That's around $1. 3 million USD. Who would fall for that?

I'm landing in SJ tomorrow night and was planning to stroll the city. I have traveled to other places and frequent Tijuana zona roja solo. So I understand how to operate, eyes on swivel, wear nothing flashy. I just watched a you tube video of a local Costa Rican with a camera who was fairly "shook" and "scared" walking past what look like a main popular street with traffic and normal people. He then said I believe he was near Calle 8 and stated getting very nervous. The guy spoke Spanish in the video and he said he would not walk further to Calle 13. He filmed forward and it did not look any more scary than any of the streets he had just walked down and not much different from the main drag. He said. Don't be stupid and walk down that street "alone" because 1 or more people will basically put you in "Grandma's padlock" that's how it was translated in English LOL. It appears all these day time spots " Monica's" or "Oasis" massage parlors. Require some walking and exploring. Is this dude overhyping the situation? The video was 1 year ago. If I explore I only plan on bringing enough for the massage $150 ish. But I don't want to walk back to my hotel Toarmina bare foot:).

They are a long ways apart because the numbering is even numbers going west and odd numbers going east from Calle 0 whatever it is called. Daytime you can essentially walk anywhere. Nightime or after dark I would not walk in certain areas, but not based on whatever that video said. Monicas and Oasis are not in the same area, and if you are staying at Taramina you could easily walk to Monicas but Oasis is a bit further. But I walked it recently. More like half hour each way and on a nice day it was great.

Daytime you can essentially walk anywhere. Nightime or after dark I would not walk in certain areas, but not based on whatever that video said. Monicas and Oasis are not in the same area, and if you are staying at Taramina you could easily walk to Monicas but Oasis is a bit further. But I walked it recently. More like half hour each way and on a nice day it was great.Yes, I am going to throw the bullshit card on this one. Any local would know that Calle 8 is not 5 blocks from Calle 13. I think that would be 11 blocks and of course you would be walking back through centro and out the other side. Calle 8 is kinda gnarly though.
I'm landing in SJ tomorrow night and was planning to stroll the city. I have traveled to other places and frequent Tijuana zona roja solo. So I understand how to operate, eyes on swivel, wear nothing flashy. I just watched a you tube video of a local Costa Rican with a camera who was fairly "shook" and "scared" walking past what look like a main popular street with traffic and normal people. He then said I believe he was near Calle 8 and stated getting very nervous. The guy spoke Spanish in the video and he said he would not walk further to Calle 13. He filmed forward and it did not look any more scary than any of the streets he had just walked down and not much different from the main drag. He said. Don't be stupid and walk down that street "alone" because 1 or more people will basically put you in "Grandma's padlock" that's how it was translated in English LOL. It appears all these day time spots " Monica's" or "Oasis" massage parlors. Require some walking and exploring. Is this dude overhyping the situation? The video was 1 year ago. If I explore I only plan on bringing enough for the massage $150 ish. But I don't want to walk back to my hotel Toarmina bare foot:).You can walk pretty much anywhere during the day where there are plenty of people out and about. If you don't know where you're going and are seen alone and standing while snooping out sketchy areas; you may find yourself a sitting duck. I know many regular visitors to the "Gringo Gulch" area, myself included; who will walk between the Taormina to Sportsman's and Hotel Del Rey during the day, but wouldn't risk it at night.
There are pensiones which are more or less like what New Fantasy was. And there are still strip clubs, but I have not gone to any in a number of years. The pensiones are talked about in some previous posts but as the girls working in them change from day to day it is hard to say that any one is better than others. Monicas, Oasis, Pension 360, Muses, Relax, are a few of the ones that some gringos go to. They are a day time option and most are closed in the early evening. Most of the visiting mongers stay at either Sportsmens, Castillo, or Taormina, and there are various girls that work the bars in these hotels, and that would be the main way that visiting mongers hook up. The largest volume would be Taormina, then Sportsmens, then Castillo (it is smaller and often only a few chicas there at any given time).I haven't been to Pension 360 or Monicas in awhile. Glad to hear they're open. Might stop in and see what's going on!
On another note, I probably will never stay at Sportsmens again (after going there off and on since 2008). Booked two nights 2/9-11/2023. Received a "confirmed" reservation. Booked 5 nights for Super Bowl at Cocal beginning Superbowl Sunday. Received an email today cancelling my 2 day reservation and asking if I would like to book a 3 day stay because its Super Bowl Weekend literally a week after receiving the "confirmed" reservation. Called spoke with a guy named Flores. Taoromina is booked for the weekend. Cocal has nothing for the 9th and 10th. The only place I've ever stayed in San Jose is the Del Rey, Sportsmens and Taormina. Any suggestions for 2 nights in San Jose or Jaco?

Was just in SJ a week or two ago. First night, walked back to my Airbnb from Taormina at 3 am thinking it wouldn't be an issue. Saw two guys chase down someone in the middle of the road and beat him down. I ran to the street workers and even they moved quickly around the block.
I think by sundown, anytime after 6-7 pm, you'd be better off taking an Uber even if it's a short distance. Oh and if anyone asks you if this is your first time in CR, never say it is your first time.

WTF? The guy's supposedly in charge of the assassins for the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, a Mexican cartel, and he's attaching a notarized certification from the Public Security Ministry of Costa Rica saying you owe 700,000,000 colones? That's around $1. 3 million USD. Who would fall for that?I got it before, scammers, Told them to Fuck off. 😂.

I think they have a $30-$40 guest fee though, unless that has changed.
I am a first time poster to the Forum but have been an avid reader. I appreciate all the guidance from the members. I arrived in San Jose on Saturday the 6th of January and thought I would give an update.
- Elected to stay at the Hotel Castillo. Registration is very "simple". No issues with guests. They were friendly and helpful all the time. The room is pretty tired and could use a new mattress. You roll to the middle and sink in.
- Used Shuttlebug for the airport pick up. Valerie is friendly and had great advice. This is the only service to use when in San Jose.
Now on to the nights activities. I visited 3 places.
- First place was the bar at the Hotel Castillo. It was dead. One girl was there sitting at the bar. Three loud gringos berating the monger scene. I had one beer and left. The bar tender said very few people go there.
- Second place was the Sportsman Lodge. There were maybe 6 women there. What they lacked in looks they made up in years. Definitely a hang out for past prime talent. One thing I would like to say. Please put your pants on when you have a room on the hallway when your "date" leaves. There are just somethings a person should not have to see.
- Third and final place was Hotel and Casino Taormina (thanks to Valerie). They have a great bar and both the bar and casino were packed. There was a girl for every taste. The music was great and the bar was well decorated. Beers were reasonably priced.
That is it for now. I will try a few of the other standard places and let everyone know.

Thanks.Doing a search, it leads to the Hotel Del Rey website. I wonder if they're changing names. That said, there is no casino there at present and few girls go there anymore.
In fact, it's somewhat of a dump now.

Haven't been to Costa Rica in almost 2 years, and took a stroll after dinner to the Taormina last night with a buddy. Watched the 2nd half of the NCAA game then started looking around. Was only interested in two, then one exited with a guy. My buddy started chatting with a nice skinny chick, but was more interested in a different one. I said no problem, so I asked her to go grab to one he'the been looking at. We hung out for an hour with drinks and talking. The girls were humorously open in talking about being prostitutes. They said that $100-120 is normal in San Jose, but can up the price to $250-300 in Jaco. And $1000 for a weekend with a guy over in Jaco.
I took mine to Masion Doreen via taxi, and we had a room with a stripper pole, jacuzzi, fuck chair, king size bed and a bondage thing. Used all except the bondage thing. My Hotel doesn't allow chicks, so this was a good place to monger with music, beer, toys, etc. Everything covered but loved when she soaked the bed because she came so much. No, I'm not a sex god, but I think she just relaxed enough to enjoy it. $150 to her for almost 2 hours.
There were probably 4 of the 25 that I would've picked, so am still seeing possibilities for all there. Every shape and size, even for me who likes trim and fit.
Oh, and she says that Taormina is the only good place in town these days.
Read about 3 or 4 posts prior to this one. That covers it.The Taormina is a great hotel with a casino and a good number of girls; depending on the day of the week. Other than that; the noted massage parlors in previous notes.
The guest fee for the Taormina is $12; or you can pay an extra room rate that includes the chica fee.
Nothing is going on that has not been going on for several years. Girls were asking $200 or $300 hundred in Jaco in past years, and once in a while in San Jose $150 or $200. Some hold out for their asking price, most will drop it, but the base rate is around $80 in San Jose although not all will take that. In Jaco, not sure, I haven't been there myself for a while, but I've heard that $150 is more the base rate, and sometimes they will take a bit less, perhaps later in the evening, or before they leave to go back to wherever they are from. But same girl in Jaco may hold out for $150 and yet happily take $100 in San Jose. They know the competition and how they rate as far as chance of success. Lots of the $200 and $300 dollar girls in Jaco actually get that as there are lots of visiting bachelor types down for parties, staying at fancy places, or wealthy people who don't know prices at all. So that becomes a price. Anyway, this is nothing that different than a few years ago. Perhaps on average the minimum has gone up $20 on the low end and $50 or so on the high end.
As for $500 at Taormina. If she is that beautiful I bet she gets that occasionally. Because there are those guys that just cannot resist the most beautiful one in the room, their ego whatever.I could pay 50 K colones as a base rate which at current exchange rates is a little less than $100.50 K is an nice round number which most of the girls will accept as close enough to cien dollars.
The hotels with casinos do not welcome working girl guests. The ways in which they do this varies, for example the guest fee for the Holiday Inn downtown is around $100 US last time I heard. Not sure about the other 2 or 3 but I expect they are the same.I heard the Sleep Inn charges a $28 guest fee.
I received a cut and paste whatsapp message from a HCTOR MENDEZ as I left San Jose. Wondering if anyone else got this? In my week stay I managed to meet two girls in Taormina (one good, one awful) and none from SA or Skokka..LOL this happened to me in C. R, girl wanted some money, cash and no card, she was high off coke and some other drug, when I refused she said she was going to send the hittas after me, my flight was in the morning I just laughed.
I heard the Sleep Inn charges a $28 guest fee.That's correct.
Does anyone know if the massage location in the hotel is only professional?
Any good massage recommendations with he / extras as well?
Thanks for the info!
Hey guys making a trip next month. Was wondering of any notable massage places?
Also does anyone know if the massage place located in Hotel Taormina offers extra?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.The massage services at the Taormina are professional.
There are plenty of massage options on Skokka, both professional and with extras that offer in-home and outcall services.
In addition, all of the pension options in San Jose will offer full service.
Has any one had any luck with wilas or skokka or are majority of profiles fake? Thanks in advance.
I am planning a long stay that will include some extensive dental work. It will be my first visit, but I have followed this board off and on for 15 years.
How prevalent is smoking (cigarettes) among the ticas? Do most bars allow smoking? Hotel rooms?
How prevalent are piercings? I am not so interested in ear or belly button piercings. How common are tongue, face, lip, nipple and clit piercings? The best BBBJ I ever received was from a girl with a tongue piercing, but the piercing itself does not insure a good experience. Technique is most important.
I know tattoos are common. But how often do you see extensive tattooing?
Finally, how extensive is the hard drug problem? Is it "most" like at a US strip club?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thanks in advance for any responses.The only concrete answer to your questions is that the vast majority of gringo hotels do not allow smoking in the hotel.
The tattoo and jewelry piercings is hit or miss; I've encountered girls with both tattoos and piercings.
Some girls smoke, some don't. A lot of girls vape.
Hardcore drug use is pretty prevalent in Costa Rica, by a select few. I've been with girls who I'm certain were doing coke in the bathroom in my room.
How prevalent is smoking (cigarettes) among the ticas? Do most bars allow smoking? Hotel rooms?I am extremely pleased to inform you that Costa Rica has some of the best and most restrictive anti-smoking laws on the planet and it's not allowed indoors anywhere. Hence CR has a much lower percentage of smokers than most countries. Now that's not to say that a gringo bar like Bar Poa won't let you smoke but don't count on it.

Thanks in advance for any responses.Smoking is not allowed indoors. Huge penalties for allowing it. No bars, no hotel rooms.
Hard drugs. Not sure what your question is, but yes, they are around and you want absolutely nothing to do with them.
Tatoos, yep very common.
And strip clubs? Not sure what you mean by "like US strip clubs" but I think not. I'm not familiar with US strip clubs, but in Costa Rica you can usually take the stripper to a private room for sex, for a fee. It is very expensive at high end clubs, and less at low end clubs.

Thanks in advance for any responses.I'll be down Friday for ten days. In San Jose give Alcazar a try. Plenty of good looking girls. Its about 5-7 minute cab ride from the Old Del Rey. There is a manager? There that lived in the Bronx for many years. Will hook you up with the girl for an hour upstairs at about $200. Pricey for San Jose. The norm now in Jaco. Plan on visiting Tango India where I haven't been since COVID to see what's happening.

I would love to hear about Tango India for some late night options. And the club feel. I've been meaning to check that place out. What was it like before Covid.
Daytime I've only tried Pension Monicas and have had real nice experiences. BBBJ for slight upcharge like 10 k and deep DFK (deepfrenchkissing) included, base price must have changed since I've went. But remember it being reasonable. Walls are thin room is quite small. Some girls prefer to talk in low voice about extras.
I wonder if Taormina is the only main spot now. Has Sportsmen gotten busy on the weekends or evenings again and is it even worth staying there. I enjoy the sportsbar, food, pool table and no charge for bringing girls back to room. Does anyone know if its picked up and benefited from Del Rey changing its business model.
Castillo I think I pass all the time walking from one to the other but I've never stepped inside to see the action or lack there of. Thanks for any feedback and info why'all.
Hey fellas!
Planning a short getaway to CR, was planning for 3-4 days in Jaco. Been to Cocal several times and love it. I also remember the days when the Del Rey was running hot. That was great, but I hear it has since closed down. I once stopped by the Sportsmen's Lodge back in the day and was not impressed. And I heard its only gotten worse.
But now in preparation for my upcoming trip, I read about people's reports about the Taormina. It sounds promising, but I don't know how much is fluff. Been trying to decide whether its worth spending one of those 4 days in San Jose for the Taormina. It would be a late Saturday night arrival, then take the bus to Jaco on Monday morning. The advantage of the Taormina seems to be the lower prices. Jaco on a Sat night runs $200 session. I here that SJ is $100-150.
I have been looking to try something new. Alot of the destinations from days gone by are drying up. I have frequented Jaco because, of the places close to the US, its the most convenient.
For those experienced at both places, is the Taormina worth it? Or should I just go straight to Jaco?
Thanks in advance!

It's the same women they just charge more in Jaco since the johns there are less experienced than the patrons in gringo gulch. If you're there solely for chicas and are price sensitive than spend more time in SJ; however Jaco is an actual vacation destination whereas SJ is kind of a dump. The math is if its worth it to save $100/ night and be in a sewer instead of the beach. Tbh I actually prefer SJ because the pensions are a great value daytime option that doesn't exist in Jaco.
For those experienced at both places, is the Taormina worth it? Or should I just go straight to Jaco?
IME, Jaco and The Cocal are overrated. Most of the chicas in the Cocal are from out of town. This has impacts on pricing in Jaco. First, chicas have greater 'sunk costs' and are less likely to negotiate, especially early in their trip to Jaco. Second, chicas are more likely to rush the session, for the same reason. Time is money and they want to hunt for the next customer. Add in the fact that Jaco is now attracting less experienced mongers and you should expect to pay $50 - $100 more for the same chica you can get in San Jose. The Taormina has plenty of chicas for every taste. And honestly, Jaco's beach sucks. It's easily the worst beach in CR.

Thanks in advance!Read back a couple pages and you will have your answer. Yes, the Taormina is good, in fact it's now the best place to go. The chicks I talked with for a couple hours were very open about the trade, and said the $100-120 they get in SJ gets jacked to $300 or more in Jaco because they can charge that. If you just want sex, then the pensiones like Monica's is by far the best value. Taormina is next. Never been to Jaco so I can't comment on that except to point to what the hookers themselves say.
Thanks for all the replies!
I think my philosophy is a little more like SWG. Its a vacation too. There are some cities, like Medellin or Panama City, that don't have too much going on. In Medellin, you can go on the Pablo Escobar tour, and if you are so inclined, go to a coffee farm. In Panama City, you can see the canal. But on the second trips and thereafter, its been there done that, and then its ALL about the punting. When that's the case, then one or two bad sessions will just put me in a mood. Just read the forums. People don't only post bad reports to warn other johns. They are also venting. Its best to minimize that.
However, there are some destinations, like the original Del Rey, and the Medellin Mansion back in the day, that were worth a trip all on their own. They were that good. Just wondering if Taormina has become that as HDR fell by the wayside.
But if it really is the same girls, just charging more, then I'll pay the premium for Jaco. Its not the best beach, but it is a beach. And there are other beaches nearby. And you can zipline and hike. And its shooting fish in a barrel, which quite frankly, I like. Cruising the heart of the city and all its dark corners is, in my opinion, sometimes overrated. Besides, I have found that if you go during the weekdays, you can squeak by with 120-150. On Sat night, forget it.
Man, back in the day, Campo Alegre was THE BEST.

Castillo I think I pass all the time walking from one to the other but I've never stepped inside to see the action or lack there of. Thanks for any feedback and info why'all.So after I got hosed by the Sportsman (will never spend a dime in the place again) a longtime Costa Rican friend from Jaco hooked me up at La Sirenita for 2 Friday and Saturday night have never stayed there in many years of going to Jaco but seems nice online and is very Tica friendly according to my friend. Will head over to the Cocal Sunday thru Thursday. LOL amazingly noticed the same thing last year the Cocal was packed Friday and Saturday pre-Super Bowl and it was half full for the Super Bowl Game Sunday? Going to stay at Taoromina for 3 nights Thursday thru Sunday and plan to visit Tango India and probably Alcazar. Will report back.
So quite a bit of discussion about transportation from Airport to Jaco. My friend hooked me up with a Taxi driver taking people to the Airport from Jaco on Friday. Going to take me down for $75 USD which appears to be below the current norm of $100. But as he told me look for an Jaco taxi at the airport because the guy doesn't want to drive back empty.

No guest fee at the Castillo.The Castillo and Taormina look fairly close to each other. I'm sure the walk during the daytime is fine but what about night time even if they might only be five min away?
The Castillo and Taormina look fairly close to each other. I'm sure the walk during the daytime is fine but what about night time even if they might only be five min away?Easy walk although the Castillo is up a hill from the Taormina. My fitbit says it's about 5 floors higher. Nighttime the area is rough so plan to either walk in a group or take a cab. If you're staying at the Castillo and picking up a chica at the Taormina, you'll definitely want to take a cab back day or night. Half the chicas will say no way to the walk, the other half will be cussing you for making them walk up the hill in their FM heels.

Might as well not risk getting any lousy service from the ladies if I made them walk. The $12 guest fee at the Taormina might just be worth it after all rather than stay at the Castillo for it's no guest fee.
This is great. What was the guest fee at the Castillo?The ONLY good thing about the Castillo is that it is truly "all inclusive"; meals, drinks and guest fee all included in the room rate. Though the restaurant only serves during set hours for meals; it's not 24-hour. The rooms are kind of a dump and I was in the prime suites on the top floor! The girls are limited that hang out there and some are a little rough looking too. Whereas the Taormina is pretty much a regular flow of girls, especially later in the week and Friday and Saturday night. Plus you have a decent casino there, a gym and now the kitchen is open all night. The Taormina is worth it!

I've never been to Castillo but I've always preferred the energy and atmosphere of Sportsmen Lodge. Sorry Mike Mark that you had that terrible experience, definitely not professional. Almost how I get when I get screwed over by a cellular service provider swear them offf then get had by the other cell carriers as well and soon there are no more viable ones to use their services. Love the bartenders there. Security is friendly. Seems like they are stricter with who they let in and don't based on prior bad or shady behavior with clients.
At least you still have Taormina. Taormina has the most Holiday Inn or budget hotel feel. I do prefer their rooms and cleanliness over Sportsmen but I like that SL has no guest fee and you have options of rooms with jacuzzis. At Taormia if you book for two be sure to remind the lady at reception so she doesn't charge you for the first lady you bring up to your room. I'm used to seeing many girls bounce around in taxis from one location to the next when they get no takers at one. I've walked from Tao uphill to Sportmen passing Castillo many times and also over to Del Rey at night. I've never felt too shaded out. A few beggars or trannies on their corner that a quick no Gracias or "no tengo nada disculpe" gets them to quiet up. And usually police presence at the park / square you cross going toward Del Rey. Not sure if that has changed since Tao became the main spot. I've been recently, a little less than a year ago and forgot to even check out the Jungle Bar. I stayed in main Casino and bar area on main floor. Even met some nice talent in the mornings and midday something less likely at Sportsmen.
Thats why I was hoping someone could confirm that Sportsmen still gets good action at night or on the weekend. Planning to split my time between both next trip if it's worth it.
Sportsmen though be careful what rooms you choose. Better in the mansion wing or the new wing. Some rooms look great but if they are around the bar or worse in the front by the entrance where security sits the noise and privacy gets a score of zero.
Mike Mark please do give some feedback on Tango India or Pension Monicas if you end up going like prices and experince if you can. Thanks!
The ONLY good thing about the Castillo is that it is truly "all inclusive"; meals, drinks and guest fee all included in the room rate. Though the restaurant only serves during set hours for meals; it's not 24-hour. The rooms are kind of a dump and I was in the prime suites on the top floor! The girls are limited that hang out there and some are a little rough looking too. Whereas the Taormina is pretty much a regular flow of girls, especially later in the week and Friday and Saturday night. Plus you have a decent casino there, a gym and now the kitchen is open all night. The Taormina is worth it!I have read some posts on the above topic and seek clarification. I saw where some guys said they were charged a $10 fee per chica at the Taormina while others said they weren't charged anything. I've booked a room for two. Can anyone with reliable and recent experience weigh in on this? What's the deal? Thanks!

Thanks!They have an option where you pay $10 a night more on the room rate and the chica fee is included and you pay nothing extra. After the first trip up in a day, you're charged $12 per extra girl. So, if you just get the regular room rate, you'll be charged $12 for the girl. They have additional charges if you take two girls at the same time, or if the girl stays in the room more than a couple hours. I always pay the extra room rate where the girl fee is waived; but to each his own.

Also remember that booking for two includes two breakfasts in case you are convincing a lady to stay overnight. Or want to double up on breakfast yourself to get your calories in for afternoon romps. Haha.
After the first freebee I've always paid the 10 now 12 for the guest fee. Theyve never asked or clarified if girl is staying a few hrs or overnight. I need to clarify next time if there is a lesser rate for just an HR in room.
Also stupidly I've never tried the next day to get my freebee as well for paying the 2 guest reservation.

So if I choose to take only 1 girl to my room per day (night), then I guess I'll save only $2 per day if booking for two people. I plan to visit a massage casa for the daytime session which will be using their rooms.

Though the girls at the front desk are always nice when you stop by with a girl to go upstairs, the process becomes tedious of the girl with the Cedula and you signing the book. It was more problematic when I got to my room and Racquel showed me a picture of her knockout girlfriend who hadn't been "upstairs" all day and was willing to do a threesome for $100. I called down to the front desk and was told I would have to come down, log her in and pay an additional fee. Ugh!
Question? Is the ten dollar daily fee paid in advance for unlimited girls in the room per day? If you know?

Greetings. I've never visited CR but based on some information, I'm 90% sure I'll be visiting this year. My question: generally, are there fewer girls availale during the "green season?" I'm leaning towards splitting a week between San Jose and Jaco. And I have alot of research to do but most looking forward to places like Sportsman's and Cocal. Lots of research to do but I've yet to read anything about volumes of girls fluctuating one way or the other in the rainy season.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.May be a difference in numbers of gringos. Peak is Jan through March. Chicas may know that, so may base their strut on that, but who knows. Some have contacts who know how many guests the various hotels have in them, and this may influence whether they show up to fish, or stay home doing other things.

Thanks in advance.It's been a really long time since I've been to Costa Rica, but I remember that August used to be a favorite time for me to go. A very "fertile" time to be there. If you get my drift.

If you get my drift.Fertility is a scary word in this hobby. LMAO Not a concern for me though. Snip snip. Haha But I appreciate your response. I'm neither a fan of heat or rain, but it sounds like August may otherwise be a good time to visit. Thanks again!

Lower supply would hopefully keep prices lower. Though, I know chicanomics doesn't follow any sensible economic principles. I'm not a guy that loses sleep over spending $5 USD more. But I have avoided CR primarily because I've read consistently that it is expensive for the hobby. The prices are definitely higher than other countries I visit. But, I am a bit excited to venture to new destinations.
Thanks for the response!
They would like some colones regardless of the weather.
I wouldn't expect any weather conditions, except flooding in Jaco I suppose, to restrict your options enough to worry about. Prob more important to avoid Easter week & other religious and national holidays. Have a good time!
Does every strip club in San Jose offer take-out?? (and I'm not talking about food of course)
Does every strip club in San Jose offer take-out?? (and I'm not talking about food of course)I don't know that any do, I rather doubt it. Probably up to the individual girl although with some sort of payment to the house.
But most or all offer on site hookups.

But most or all offer on site hookups.That would be a big change from my active Costa Rica days then since back in those days the strip clubs absolutely offered "take out", and I don't mean Chinese food either. I took one of the hottest Colombian girls I have ever been with out of one of the strip clubs in San Jose back to my hotel room (don't recall the name of the club). In fact, she was the one who suggested it. Said, "Let's go back to your hotel for sex". She was a morena clara and easily in the 9/10 range on my optics scale, and she told me her real name versus her "nombre artistico" was "Xiomara". All these years later I still remember her LOL. She was just that fine and good in the sack. Girl had a phat ass on her too! Was squeezing my dick between her naked butt cheeks! My God. She's the one from whom I learned about a "buen polvo" (good fuck). Wonder where she is now? Probably a mom back in Colombia with a few kids.

But the strip clubs, especially the higher end ones, are very expensive to begin with and I just don't know anyone who has done takeout from them, or the lower price ones either. But as I say, I am no expert as far as the strip clubs here. Lots of guys take them to the rooms for full service, that I know.
There are so many options for meeting and sizing up a chica and then going to your room without going to strip clubs that it probably makes it a more unusual way of meeting.

It cost me 250 usd for tln and a bar fee. So it's def doable. If you plan on going Tango India it will be minimum double that. They charge a lot.
Last night in San Jose and planned a night out with a long time Costa Rican friend. He picked me up at the Taormina and we headed to La Cascada for a great steak dinner Perfect NY Strip for me, Porterhouse with salads and sides and a great bottle of Argentinian Red set me back $110. Incredible!
First stop Tango India. Entry fee was $28 US per person included two drinks. Great table by the stage. Hadn't been here since 2017. About 20-25 girls dancing and circulating, we ordered drinks and we are accosted immediately by a late 20's pair of 6's who we decline their company. We're scouting the entire place and it is about 2/3rd full of a mix of locals and gringos. The place for me is a total disappointment. I honestly didn't see a girl in the place better than an 8. My Tico friend is mildly interested in a girl who is tall thin mid 20's a 7 who speaks english. We buy her a drink and she gives us a rundown of the prices for FS in the boxes which start at $700 US according to her. We order a second drink. Take in a few more dancers on stage. The place isn't what it was. We pay the bill $100 and leave.
Next stop. Alcazar in downtown San Jose. I'm greeted at the door by my old friend, manager, waiter, bartender, part time pimpMeister Jaro. He waves the $10 entry fee and takes us to a ringside table. We order a couple of drinks and he introduces us to a few of the girls. Solid 7's but nothing that interests me but one cute early 20 TICA has my friend's radar humming. We buy her a couple of drinks and watch a parade of dancers come and go till about 130 am. In the end, my buddy declines Jaro's invitation to take her upstairs for $200 for the hour. I just didn't see anything that got me going. Total bill for me and my friend 4 drinks each and 2 for the Tica was $50 and I threw my old friend Jaro a $10 side tip.
We leave and are parked in the gaited parking lot across the street from Alcazar. As we are leaving, we spot what appears to be an underground bar, club, ? Across the street from the parking lot. A couple of very cute girls ring the bell, and a young guy opens the door and the door gate and looks around, letting the girls in. Looked very interesting. My friend doesn't know the place but the girls entering the place were dimes and dressed to party? Anyone know this place?
We head back toward the Taormina and stop up the street at VIP Club. Go inside for one drink and there are a 3 Nicaraguan girls at the bar. 2 were sub 5's and 1 was a mid 20's passable 6/7. My friend chats up the decent looking girl for about 20 minutes. She is looking for $50 to give him a BBBJ. He declines and I have no interest in the dregs in the rest of the place.
Back to the Taormina by 2 am. The place is rocking. I walk in the door. 2 steps inside. The beautiful Racquel greets me. A DFK. To the desk. Sign in and off to the room for the rest of the night for $250 till I leave at 830 am for Miami.
It was a great trip!
It was / is one of the often asked question. Is there any other place in western hemisphere or world like del ray where one can shop around all night long under one roof and partake as many as possible?
While there is no place in western hemisphere that I know of (with exception of FKKs), I did want to let everyone know that there is a much bigger, newer, bolder, upscale and cheaper delray in the east. It is on the other side of the planet though. Hotel Classic Jakarta. Starts at 2 PM and continues for 12 hours. About 30-40 girls at 4-5 PM, close to 100 every day around 10 PM. They have very good selection. All asians obviously, hardly any speak some english. Girls sit of sofas while punters size them up from bar tables. Live music on site. Not sure about drinks etc. The only -ve thing is that you can't talk about services with girls as they hardly speak english. They have very well appointed rooms on site, no need to even bring chicas to your hotel room although that is also an option. Just about thirty bucks for an hour of incredible GFE romps, 2/3 sessions were mind blowing GFEs for me. And there are quite a few other places in Jakarta as well including hotel travel which is similar to hotel classic. Keep in mind it is a muslim country after all and quite conservative. Jakarta is much bigger than SJ but like any big city like LA, is a terrible place to visit due too too many people, vehicles, pollution etc. But the all you can eat buffet selection made it a dream come true.
I miss delray and now I am missing hotel classic too LOL.

On another note, I started hitting the Del Rey circa 2010, I miss the early days there. Later not so much. There were a lot of fugly creatures inhabiting the place the year or so before they closed.
Got to say that the Taormina is doing a great job picking up the slack from the Glory Days of the Del Rey. Stayed there the weekend after the Superbowl this year and it was rocking Thursday when I arrived till I left Sunday morning. There was easily 40 girls in the place at 2 am on Sunday morning before I left. I walked in the door and Racquel early 20's 7/8 took me to my room and fucked me stupid till I left at for the airport for $250. The entire weekend the place was filled with dimes. The crowd was good. Bar staff friendlier than in past years. IMHO the place has gotten better and better over the past 3 years.

If it was on Av 7, it was probably a place called 'The Club'. Like many places, the music is deafening.
If it was on Av 7, it was probably a place called 'The Club'. Like many places, the music is deafening.Honestly not sure, there were iron bars in front of the door. When the young guy opened the door, then the iron grate to let the girls in. He was looking up and down the street before closing the door and gate behind him. We were in the parking lot directly across the street. I was trying to convince my Costa Rican friend to take a look. Although he didn't know anything about the place, he seemed very reluctant to go? I followed his lead but the girls that went in were pretty cute although we didn't get a real good look inside when the door opened.
I met a cute Columbian girl on Tinder. Her family immigrated to Costa Rica when she was young. She told me that she has a regular job but meets with men as a side income. She quoted $250 for an overnight and offered a discount for multiple days. We agreed on $1,300 for 7 days. Is that normal for a Costa Rican woman? I've never been to Costa Rica before and I am looking forward to meeting her. I booked an Airbnb for the two of us. Is there anything I should watch for?

Just a reminder if it is too good to be true?
If she is not old? Check her cedula my friend.
Good luck!

Do not agree to a week with a woman you have never met. If you can verify that she is legit at the meeting, that's when you consider all night. If all night goes well, that's when you consider all week. But honestly you should never commit to a whole week with one amiga. You won't be in Kentucky or Missouri, there are lots of great options. Watch out for women asking for full week rates.

What if she is smelly and dirty? What if her demeanor does not suite you? What if in bed she does not do this or that?
It is certainly alright to discuss plans in case you both hit it off. But I would suggest stay together one night at a hotel in San Jose. You can pick any hotel because you will be checking in with that girl. See how things go. If she GFE then take the next step. When a girl stays with you one week it will cost a lot for food and other things. So I would offer her $100-$150 a day for long term and you can take her shopping and spend some money. No girl refuses to go shopping.
Once I had a local tica stay with me four nights. It was cheaper then. Since I always rent a car we would go every day for sightseeing trip. Took in all the volcanoes and my favorite is Arenal and hot springs. We also did zip line etc and also went to the Atlantic side Puerto Limon. There we took a small boat to an isolated island. All this after having a great first night. I met her at Del Ray. Overall it was a nice GFE trip. Later I heard someone took her to Europe maybe married.
While it has become harder after the death of Del Ray and mercenary girls who command high prices it is good you met this girl. But test driving is a must before buying or making long term plans.

I heard that some girls try to charge $400 for an overnight. I had one girl offer that deal to me. I refused. She wasn't nearly as cute as this girl.

Based on her looks and online demeanor I decided to book a whole week. She doesn't smoke or do drugs and I don't see any tattoos in the photos and videos she's sent. We have been chatting every day for a couple of weeks. She has a regular job and does this on the side for extra money. I thought she was charging a low rate because I heard from other girls that they charge $400 for an overnight.

You say you booked her for a whole week, yet she has a job. The story is not 100% here. All I know is that for someone to agree to a week with someone they have never met and at that price is very unusual. I would be very careful. If money is required up front be prepared to walk away from it.

Sammon is absolutely correct: NEVER book someone you have never met for an entire week without a test drive. Don't know who these "other girls" you heard from are, but I consider $400 for an overnight to be far too high for a knowledgeable monger to pay in CR, even in Jaco.
I've never been to Jakarta but would definitely like to put it on my bucket list before I'm taking a dirt nap.
On another note, I started hitting the Del Rey circa 2010, I miss the early days there. Later not so much. There were a lot of fugly creatures inhabiting the place the year or so before they closed.
Got to say that the Taormina is doing a great job picking up the slack from the Glory Days of the Del Rey. Stayed there the weekend after the Superbowl this year and it was rocking Thursday when I arrived till I left Sunday morning. There was easily 40 girls in the place at 2 am on Sunday morning before I left. I walked in the door and Racquel early 20's 7/8 took me to my room and fucked me stupid till I left at for the airport for $250. The entire weekend the place was filled with dimes. The crowd was good. Bar staff friendlier than in past years. IMHO the place has gotten better and better over the past 3 years.$250! She took for a ride, my friend! [Deleted by Admin]
Last night in San Jose and planned a night out with a long time Costa Rican friend. He picked me up at the Taormina and we headed to La Cascada for a great steak dinner Perfect NY Strip for me, Porterhouse with salads and sides and a great bottle of Argentinian Red set me back $110. Incredible!
First stop Tango India. Entry fee was $28 US per person included two drinks. Great table by the stage. Hadn't been here since 2017. About 20-25 girls dancing and circulating, we ordered drinks and we are accosted immediately by a late 20's pair of 6's who we decline their company. We're scouting the entire place and it is about 2/3rd full of a mix of locals and gringos. The place for me is a total disappointment. I honestly didn't see a girl in the place better than an 8. My Tico friend is mildly interested in a girl who is tall thin mid 20's a 7 who speaks english. We buy her a drink and she gives us a rundown of the prices for FS in the boxes which start at $700 US according to her. We order a second drink. Take in a few more dancers on stage. The place isn't what it was. We pay the bill $100 and leave.
Next stop. Alcazar in downtown San Jose. I'm greeted at the door by my old friend, manager, waiter, bartender, part time pimpMeister Jaro. He waves the $10 entry fee and takes us to a ringside table. We order a couple of drinks and he introduces us to a few of the girls. Solid 7's but nothing that interests me but one cute early 20 TICA has my friend's radar humming. We buy her a couple of drinks and watch a parade of dancers come and go till about 130 am. In the end, my buddy declines Jaro's invitation to take her upstairs for $200 for the hour. I just didn't see anything that got me going. Total bill for me and my friend 4 drinks each and 2 for the Tica was $50 and I threw my old friend Jaro a $10 side tip.
We leave and are parked in the gaited parking lot across the street from Alcazar. As we are leaving, we spot what appears to be an underground bar, club, ? Across the street from the parking lot. A couple of very cute girls ring the bell, and a young guy opens the door and the door gate and looks around, letting the girls in. Looked very interesting. My friend doesn't know the place but the girls entering the place were dimes and dressed to party? Anyone know this place?He has been working at Alkazar for years, I always have a great time in that place, been to SJ many times and miss it, try Las Margaritas next trip.
Heading to Medellin in a few day, it fun but overrated IMO.

I'm about 50% complete with my research. August will be my firsr to CR. For many reasons, Sportsmen's Lodge feels like the right spot for me. I rarely do this but I used YouTube to get a feel for SL. I dislike Passport Bros and generally find YouTube to be a waste of time for my research purposes. And maybe this is the wrong way to look at it. But as far as the feel, the vibe, the process, would you say SL is similar to BB in the DR? Or maybe the Mansion in MDE? I'm not talking about the quality of the girls, as that is fairly subjective. But I'm getting the feel that it's a hotel with decent enough accomodations with girls onsite, very monger friendly staff. In the videos I saw, two things stuck out. It's fairly large and maybe it's just the videos I saw but the men seem to outnumber the women.
I really need to do more research for daytime options. My normal MO in other countries is to find nice massage places during the day. So my hope is SL is a nice place to party with the chicas at night. I'm only planning for maybe 4 nights on my first trip to CR.

I'm only planning for maybe 4 nights on my first trip to CR.I have not been to BB but SL is only vaguely similar to 'Casa Blanca' in MDE. Both are houses somewhat awkwardly cut up into rooms. In both places, the rooms vary in quality and selection is pretty important. This is reflected in the price much more at SL than at Casa Blanca, where last I heard, all rooms were the same price and the better rooms were first come, first serve. A couple of the rooms at the mansion are shared bathroom situations but none at SL.
The mansion serves breakfast, but has no restaurant, an important difference. SL serves food all day, decent food in fact, has a pool table, a crappy gym, a reading room, etc. The mansion has a bar with ever changing policies that is operated as a separate business.
Also, SL is located in a hood with other nearby venues and the mansion is a bit isolated. So, a plus factor for the SL is that chicas circulate more as opposed to showing up for the day and sitting around bored waiting for something to happen.
Hotel Taormina has a somewhat similar setup to SL, plus a casino if that appeals, and lots of reports say it's a bit better than SL right now. I observe that at SL, I can be gone for two or three years and when I come back, a lot of the same hookers are there. That can be good, or bad.

This whole scenario screams SCAM to me. Sammon is absolutely correct: NEVER book someone you have never met for an entire week without a test drive. Don't know who these "other girls" you heard from are, but I consider $400 for an overnight to be far too high for a knowledgeable monger to pay in CR, even in Jaco.She is meeting me at the hotel when I arrive. I'll give her one night to see how things go. I don't have a contract with her for the week. I can say no at any time.
I have experience with multiple women in Brazil but this is the first time in Costa Rica. We have been chatting on Whatsapp for at least a month. She seems legit.
I'll give an update afterward.

So my hope is SL is a nice place to party with the chicas at night. I'm only planning for maybe 4 nights on my first trip to CR.The S L is a hotel with a large bar / restaurant area, and is a good place to stay and lots of girls come and go, as long as they are not banned for some reason. Fine at night or in the daytime, and the number of girls there varies a lot, and when sports events etc. Are on there certainly are a lot more men there, but it is a sports bar crowd at times so there are lots of chicas for those who have a room there, or want to take them somewhere else. I eat there a lot, and hang out with friends there and almost never pick up a girl there, but there are lots and it's a great atmosphere. I'm not currently a guest there but that's not a problem, it is my go to place when I'm in San Jose.

Had some great times there. The place has gone completely sideways in the last couple of years. From cancelling confirmed reservations at the last minute (bc me for more details) to charging insane prices for Super Bowl Parties with terrible food and cheap liquor this past year. It has been beyond disappointing. The girls that hang out at the bar are a pack of abuellas now.
I made the switch this year to the Taormina, girls are better, food in the restaurant is better, the bar staff has really turned a corner on treating customers right from past years and the rooms are decent and reasonably priced. Plus if you're a poker player there is usually two good tables going on the weekends.

Was in San Jose last week and every night in Taormina.
The price for most of girls was 100 usd, some very cute asked for 200 usd I declined, you can really find decent girls in Taormina.
One told me that in Jaco all girls want 200 usd.
If you have a room in Taormina you must pay 20 usd to bring girls in your room.
You can come in Taormina at 7 pm no need to come later I think, no need to drink, (of course except if you want) just talk with the girl and move with her.
Hope this information will help you.
