San Jose Club, Bars and Massage Parlors List

This is very helpful, MK. Thanks. I am planning a trip to Costa Rica for the first time next March. San Jose and Jaco. What do think of Jaco for action? I will try to learn some Spanish before then as I am also going to Medellin.

[QUOTE=MikeKelimir; 1279748]Hey guys. I've been on the site quite a bit over the last couple years, but never really posted.

I've been living here for several years now. For those of you who are visiting San Jose for the first time, here are some thoughts on the basics. You will find a LOT more...[/QUOTE]

[blue]The report originally posted here has been superceded by a new report posted later in this thread.[/blue]

IDEM Bar is now 23,000c upstairs and 26,000c downatairs.

[blue]The report originally posted here has been superceded by a new report posted later in this thread.[/blue]

IDEM bar is now 31,000 colones upstairs and 36,000 downstairs.

Josephines is nothing less then a rip off clip joint. BEWARE all who enter.

Europa 2000 is a dump BUT Angelo is a great host who manages to find and bring in some great GFE woman. Karen being just one. And if you ask he just might be able to get a girl out for your hotel enjoyment. But please have the curtisy to not do this behind his back. Also there are a lot more rooms in the hotel connected to Europa 2000

"Si Bo Ny", Always a mystery as to what you will find when you walk in But the girls change over quickly so its a worthwhile walk.

New one not listed here is across the street from Europa 2000; Hotel Marruecos, Senora Arias, propietaria, 221-0468

And don't forget Calle 6 and all the senorita's up-stairs and down.

Now someone please post directions to Bob's massage Parlor in Barrio Amon.

Is there more information about Karen at Europa 2000 or any other GFE?

What is the place (Marruecos) like across the street?

I have also heard about Si Bo Ny. You mentioned that it is hit and miss. What is the costs for an hour? Are there private showers?

I have gone to Veronica's recently but the talent has been not so good.

If you are still there check it out and let us know? My Buddy will be there and wants to know?

Muses is 12,500 per hour.

Pensiones is 10k per half hour and 15k per hour.

Cazador. Karen from Euopa 2000 is working the Del Ray as I write this.

Hostel Marruecos is actualy a Hotel / MP. LOL. You can spend the night. Not as fancy as ZB but then $20 +/- a night is a long way from $200 a night.

I do not know the current price of So B Ney.(SIC)

Can someone please provide directions to Europa 2000 and the other nearby Marrauecos MP.
I am familiar with SJ , so just an avenue and connecting street will do.

Thanks Steve

I can never remember the street numbers. Walk north from the fountain on ave central. That is where the national theater is. Walk about 3 blocks north until you get to the auto mercado which is on the west side of the street. Walk one more block north until you come to a hotel with flags on top. There is a little entry way witha dark mirrored door. There is a little sign on the door also. Europa 2000. Not much talent lately.

The other MP/hostel place is across the street and down a few doors. It has a yellow gate and bars which are painted yellow and a little courtyard. Walk up the steps and the girls are in the room on the left. Nice clean place.

Europa 2000 is on Calle 3 between Avenida 5 and 7 on the west side of the street. That's 4 blocks due north if you start at the National Theatre. It actually is pretty well signed for a tico MP with Europa 2000 written in large letters directly below each of 2 ground floor windows in front (ie extremely hard to miss). BTW, the hotel with the flags that Rzoll77 is talking about sounds like the Europa HOTEL and that is actually 2 blocks further over on Calle Central, not Calle 3.

The flags RZOLL is talking about are part of the hotel adjacent (Same building) to Europa 2000. The Hotel is in the north part of the building and the MP is on the south. If you do not like the rooms at the MP you can get a room at the adjacent hotel.

If you find the place just say hello to Angelo from his fellow puertorican.

Good luck, and happy huntings.....

[QUOTE=DR Monger II]I hope you know that a lot of those massage parlors are closed by the police.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Smokers Rule]Temporarily.[/QUOTE]Planning my first visit to CR in Nov. does the massage pricing posted here includes sex or do you have to pay seperately for sex.

Thx

Caffrey,
The prices definitely include full sexo. Some places the girls may try to upcharge for a bbbj as opposed to cbj. You can try to ask in advance but once you've paid there is not much you can do about it. It is really an individual thing that all depends on the girl.

BTW, this thread has been dead for a while and the closings that were last reported are a thing of the past.

Thanks Prolijo. Are the prices posted for new fantasy current. Say for approx 17000c ($30) is that for an hour. How to become CRT member. If you do not like the girl can you walk away. Can non spanish speaker manage in those places. If I decide to pick a girl from BM how do you inquire in spanish that the hour includes multipops, and just not a single pop.

Caff,
See my other post for a few tips on negotiations. In short, spanish always helps a lot, but it is not strictly necessary.

As for NF, the rates are for an hour, although if you pop early the most you can expect after that with most of the chicas is to finish the rest of your time with a nice backrub. So take your time, enjoy the steam rooms or sauna and work up to the main act with a nice backrub for you (or for you to give her). As for walking away, of course you can always walk away at any point until you pay (done at the beginning at NF) or even if for someone reason you want to leave early after the session starts (though don't expect any refund unless the girl did something really screwy and you're ready to argue with management). The NF has a really weird selection system with a one way mirror looking into the chica's waiting room that you can barely see through. I've always found it easier to look around the corner or even come into that room and talk to the chicas (who cares if they can see you). In fact, I find eye contact to be one important cue as to whether the chica is at all interested in me or whether she is simply too bored to bother (which a lto of them seem to be there), and that can't be accomplished if you're hiding behind the mirror. After you've made your initial selection but before you've paid, you can ask your chica a few quick questions while walking back to her room and if you don't like what you hear you can always say you've changed your mind and try your luck with a different girl.

As for CRT, we're not really supposed to promote the "competition" around here (or provide links) even though CRT is primarily just a CR board and ISG covers the whole world. However, if you google "Costa Rica Ticas", which is really what all of us are talking about both here in this forum section and over at that other site, then you should be able to figure it all out.

Those 'in the know' tell me that the NF also offers a half hour option. I am not sure of the price but it is pretty reasonable, according to those same sources.

I heard NF raised their prices. I'm not sure how much. It's now 20 something thousand colones for an hour. They always offered 1/2 hour. In fact when you get in the room the girl asks you whether you want 1/2 hour or 1 full hour.

Bilko,

When I said the rate was for an hour I was referring to the supposed 17K rate that Caff was asking about in the preceding post. He in turn was referring to the list that WT69 put together here which listed the rates at "10000c 30 min., 17000c hour" (so I'm not sure why he was even asking whether 17K was for an hour). What we both missed and which DRM picked up on is that those are old prices. Last I knew the rate at NF was up to 22K/hour (although I've seen one unconfirmed report that it is now up to $50? which would be 27K:(). I'm not sure of the half hour rate but since that had been a little over half the hour rate I'd guess it must now be in the ~13K range (or possibly the ~15K range if the latest price increase rumor is true).

BTW, with the conversion currently being at ~540 c/$, 22K c still comes out to just a little over $40/hr. And, even if it really is now $50, with prices at ZB/LH now running $55 (actually its been that high all along only there is no longer any room discount for CRT) and IDEM up to $60 or above, NF is still a relative bargain for a full-service "gringo" style MP (provided you can find a decent chica there that can be bothered to stop filing her nails long enough to go in the back with you). Of course, the tico places are even cheaper still, but the selection at those are even more spotty and the facilities no where near as nice.

These recent price jumps at the various "gringo" MP's seems to fly in the face of economic sense given the down turn of the local economy. Perhaps due to increasing fame these places have decided to follow in the HDR business model (please, lets not get into that debate again). Regardless about how you feel about these places. Rising prices can only lead to fewer of the former regulars shelling out the money at the places, perhaps being somewhat replaced by "fresh meat" coming in, and more of those vets venturing forth as they discover the relative bargains of the "tico" places. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts on these issues from seasoned vets like yourself (Bilko, those "in the know" know that you've been around CR a long time and are as much "in the know" as any of them:)).

BTW, World Travel 69, you need to work some of this latest info into your list.

I am working on 17 counties and their cities Lists. Mainly on Colombia, since I will be there next month.
I keep adding whatever you guys post. But I do not repost everyday.
That is why I ask you guys to help fill in the blanks and let me know what the new rates are?
Thanks

Pro,

When I said 'those in the know' I was mostly referring to those who frequent the place. I like the place, think it's a decent deal and have a sentimental attachment to it, as it was where I lost my CR cherry, but I haven't sessioned there in a long time.

[QUOTE=World Travel 69]I redid the PDF List to make it easier to print out.

Now if I only had some new info of the Blanks or updated prices, etc. I could have added it.[/QUOTE]
Great list! I'm going in December for trip two. I will carry this with me.

Good updated list. Wish you could include the zona map with all the hot spots (bars, clubs, monger hotels etc)

The list is updated?

Looking for a change of pace maybe one night - any Karaoke bars in downtown area - Staying at Presidente.

If you walk out of the P. hotel and turn to the left, you will see a street that that eventually runs into the morazan park. From the P. Hotel, walk one block down that way, when you get to the first corner, hang a left, go two blocks down, there will be a small hole in the wall restaurant called "La Visconia"

If you head torwards the rear on your way to the restroom, there will be a dark bar to your left that has Karaoke. I do not how good or bad it is, but it was packed. I did not stay cause there were some wierd characters in there, plus I am not a Karaoke fan. Good Luck!

Sounds like you skipped the curricula and spent too much time on the extra.

If I were you, I would try around the University. It seems to attract that group.

San Pedro would be the place. Ave 2 (PanAm Hwy) about 3 km East of City Center. Past the mall and cathedral turn left on Calle 3. Here you will find about 20 student bars and cafes in the 2 blocks leading to the University.

Take the bus marked San Pedro on Avenida Central (east end of the walking street) between Calle 9 and 11. It costs about 175c and takes about 15 minutes. A cab will take the same time and cost 1,500c.

World Traveler 69:

Do you have updated phone numbers for the guides with the extra 2 or 8 before the last 7 digits? Or should we assume all are cell numbers and add an 8?

I copied the numbers as the members posted them. They all show up on my computer as Skype numbers.
Which is most likely wrong, because it shows a Canadian Flag next to the number.

I haven't spent much time perusing all the details on World Travel 69's list, but I quickly discovered some inaccuracies that make me feel this list is either severely outdated or mistake-laden. For example, there is no membership fee to partake at Bar Idem, and the room prices are 31,000 colones for upstairs rooms and 36,000 for the two downstairs rooms. Haven't been to Pirate Club, but I do know they offer afternoon discounts for much less than $75 per hour. I have also sessioned at Krysis a handful of times over the past year, and the rate is $40/hour.

Re Hotel Little Havana, the CRT rate is $46 or 25,000 colones. They now have a number of rooms in the $100 range.

Thanks for the Update.
Now if they had been posted before I could have had them correct on the List.
What is the half hour rate at the Hotel Little Havana?
If you are there, how about filling in all the blanks?

Magraitas is a taxi ride of about $3 from downtown. All the rest are walking distance.

mongers that spend a significant amount of time during the year in/around San Jose and who partake of the non-"Gringo Gulch" club/MP sex trade!

Is this an "annual" event, as the article states and what, if any, is the "fallout" after these raids occur(the fact that the even the patrons are given a immigration legal status "shakedown' during the raids is especially disturbing to me)?

I hope I am wrong but my "gut" tells me that, with the installation of the new president at the beginning of May, these raids do not "bode well" for the future of the Costa Rican sex trade!

Bezz nezz Just Bezz nezz. Someone must have dropped a dime on Atlantis

As americans we forget that Its the Law to carry your ID / copy of your passport. With the copy of your passport you will also need a copy of your immigation entry stamp to avoid a trip to HEAD QUARTERS.

All the low end places raided have some affortable talant

I would like to know what the situation is. I already bought a plane ticket for april. Is it worth it or not ?

I have a laminated copy of my passport. Does that work ?

Thanks

There indeed has been raids lately, nothing to worry about, it's Samana Santa soon (Holy Week).. These things happen regularly as it is, but they can pick up during this time of year. No one should cancel their trip. You just need to carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp. The airport has a new entry system, the stamps have a serial number on them. There is no more crap of "this isn't good enough". Nothing to worry about folks, just expect things to be slow if you're here during Easter as most places shut down for a couple days.

Cheers

You have nothing to worry about. Nothing much has changed at this point and there will be PLENTY of mongering options available in at least the near future.

You will need a photocopy of your main passport page AND a copy of the page with the entrance stamp on it. There is a good chance your hotel can take care of this for you.

For more information.

An institution in San Jose for over thirty five years, The New York Bar closed its doors forever this week. A liquidation sale of all furnishings, fixtures, equipment and inventory was held. Even the fish on the wall were sold.

A very sad day for me as this was my hangout for many years and one of the few remaining reasons I had to come to Costa Rica. A great American neighborhood bar ambiance, the hottest bartenders in town, and lots of over the hill $20 hookers to choose from. What else could a man ask for?

Of recent history, first the Park Hotel, then the Nashville closed, then Las Palmas in the Castillo. Whose next? The Sportsmans? If the recession is this bad, then those $100 girls at the Del Rey should be had for $20.

Richard, may you retire in peace. You and the New York Bar and Andy Anderson and the Park Hotel shall forever live in our hearts as the Monarchs of Mongerdom.

The last time I walked into the front door, looked in the bar and said "Honey I'm home".

I remember the sign in the bathroom "Help me before I fuck myself to death." Somewhere I have a photo of that.

I miss the place.

[QUOTE=Bigmic;1112930]A sad sign of the times. The place will be missed. RIP NYB.[/QUOTE]What a shame. That is very suprising to me because the food and drinks were good and their seemed to be a loyal group of patrons. The times I went in their, it seemed to have between 5 to 15 people inside. It might be a oppurtunity for someone to take it over because that is a very good location. Maybe it was just not being managed properly?

I Searched for everyone of those massage places on the ISG Thread. Even on the Other World Guide.

I know the places do not have addresses, but cross streets would help.

Yes, I agree, that is a good club to join, but I travel to many other countries.

I was a Blue Collar Working Man, and can not afford the price.

I Pay Jackson for the use of his site.

The first Time I was in C. R. Was 2001, before another forum or ISG.

No Lists.

I STARTED the LIST, because my buddy talked me into Looking at a site, and I did not KNOW where to GO to get Laid.

For the World, Jackson only Charges $19.95.

My buddy had scraps of paper on napkins that he wrote, and could I not read his writing. So I started a List for myself and thought Why not POST it for All us horney guys to use.

I started the Lists in 2005.

All I am asking is for INFO from Some Of You Guys to Keep the up the SHORT CUT LIST TO GETTING LAID.

Like I said I had spend many Hours getting this Info for US.

I mean no disrespect to anyone.

Just Fill In The Blanks?

I am getting very OLD, would one of YOU like to take over The Lists.

I Am Not Getting Paid for This.

[/QUOTE]Just passing through, but I have to side with World Travel 69 on this one. If you do not know of the extreme effort he puts into these "list" the you should stop by the Colombia forum and witness the ongoing updates he does for the Medellin, Bogota, and Cali lists. They are no joke and very thorough and precise. I personally think he is a madman for all the work he does for no pay, LOL. But I have all of his PDF's!

I'm currently in Costa Rica San Jose but I'm quite disappointed with the level of girls here. I'm really picky and looking for 9-10. I've been to del rey a ton of times but only found a couple of girls I like and they're not even there on a regular basis. I've been to Tango India also and found some good looking girls, but the 400$ exit fee is ridiculous and it's a pain in the ass to get phone numbers, cause they risk their job if the administration find out.

I'm 26 why. O and I have healthy income so I don't mind spending in the 200-400$ range but I just can't just anyone!

I tried also an escort webpage but the girls I like are not available or won't come to my hotel (presidente) cause they're banned.

Massage parlors are not an option, went to one and quality is not good enough for me.

So what would you recommend for me to go in central / south america? I like thin girls w cute faces, tight ass, boobs not so important. And good in bed. In my experience the best I've experienced is Brazil. And Argentina is kind of good but my last trip there suxed, girls were not half as good as in 2008. I was thinking of Colombia, do you think it's the wisest option?

Thanks,

Try Club Idem, it's across the street from Masajes Relax. There are usually very pretty girls in there, maybe not 9's and 10's but 8's for sure. It's a bar with rooms upstairs. Meet the girls, order a few rounds for a few that you invite to your table and see who you connect with. I'd say it's a classy joint for the gultch and I've always had from good to great service there.

[QUOTE=Chris H;1119020]Are the prices $200-$400?[/QUOTE]Not hardly. One-hour Idem sessions in the rooms upstairs go for 31, 000 colones and 36, 000 colones for sessions in the two rooms downstairs, which feature greater and more private shower access. In dollars, a range of roughly $62-$72. I have had a lot of good times there.

BTW, Tango India is a total ripoff. And even thinking of paying $200-400 in this economy is incomprehensible to me, even for TLN. The lady will simply think you are a complete idiot. Finding 9s and 10s is admittedly not very easy, but they can be had for much less. I have occasionally broken my "no cien" rule in pursuit of them, with mixed results. Paying more in no way assures better service.

[QUOTE=Nmlfree; 1119113]I've been to idem but I couldn't find anything like. There was one cutie tough, but she didn't have really have a tight body. Would have taken her for a BBJJ, but it's not a standard here in CR and girls always ask en extra fee.

I wouldn't mind playing it, but even so, the ones I got were terrible at it so not worth it.

Does anyone have been to Colombia and can confirm they are more quality girls (in looks)? [/QUOTE]Yes, BBBJs are not necessarily a "standard" in CR, but I generally haven't had much of a problem getting them from most of the ladies I've dallied with, Idem ladies included. Sometimes, I've experienced some hesitancy in this regard during the very first session with a lady, and I take it in stride. But, I make it clear that any future encounters must include this "necessity," and this strategy often works. I also sometimes negotiate this service beforehand, but not always. BTW, ladies don't "always" demand a tip for this. Much too strong of a generalization. I've encountered plenty of ladies who naturally incorporate this into their "repertoire" without even mentioning a propina.

Idem, like any place, can be hit-or-miss. You might walk in at the wrong time and the hotties are all in the rooms. I have had great success there over the years and have sometimes met up with their ladies at my hotel before and after their shifts.

I will be going to Costa Rica for the first time next month, although I have been to Central America a number of times. I was wondering if any old hands can tell me if there are any "gold standard" strip clubs in San Jose that one should not miss. For example, I would probably have never known about "Lips" in San Salvador without this board, and that would be a real shame. I think it's one of the best damn strip clubs in the world! But a bunch of places around it suck pretty bad. Same goes for "Platinos" in Guatemala City. I wouldn't miss Platinos if I was going to GC, and I'd probably go out of my way to go to Lips in SS. Same with some clubs in Mexico. So, any place like that in San Jose that you would tell your buddies to visit at all costs? Some features of an awesome club for me:

-Lively atmosphere, safe, but plenty of people drinking beer and having a good time. Like a good American strip club.

-Constant stream of pretty girls dancing. No bullshit like I seem to find often, like a few bored girls fucking with their phones in the corner, once in a while a half assed dance on stage.

- Good prices; gringo prices are OK, Japanese business man clip joints are not. Cover is OK, as is $5ish beer and $20 lap dances max.

- on premise service is great, but optional. I think I've got that part figured out by reading the forums here.

-Full nude is a big plus.

Basically, looking for good bars, which happen to have a bunch of hot naked women around. For the two clubs I mentioned above, I've been to a bunch of shitty ones in those cities that were a waste of time.

I'm going to post something similar in the Managua section, as I'm going there too. Thanks very much for any advice.

I had a great time in san jose. We did 8 nights in JAco (I'd never go back. Report was posted in jaco section). And we did less than a week in san jose. The girls were outstanding in san jose. But very pricey. Lots of daytime action which I like (Idem, HLH. New Fantasy, etc.). Sporttmans was great for breakfast and great views. I would go back to san jose. But def not my first or second choice for a destination pick. Idem was too dark inside. You couldn't even see the girls. Good times was ghetto. HLH was good. Del ray was awesome. Just very expensive for takeout.

Delayed reply but I think Pantera Rosa is the best bang for your buck for a strip club. Especially since it has been redone! They have 3 poles, there is always a girl on stage, sometimes 3 on the weekends. 5000 colones cover (10 bucks) but comes with 2 beers or 3 rail drinks. 5000 colones for chica drinks which gets you a lap dance basically in the public area until her drink is gone. Privates (sexo in the little back rooms) go for like 15, 000 colones per 15 minutes. Don't pay more than that, some of those girls try to be sharks.

Thanks, [/QUOTE]I think you may be a little picky. You're going to find the same thing in any place you go to. I think I'm similar and I agree that in a bar full of 100 girls usually there is just 1 or maybe 2 that I'm interested in. You got to realize though anywhere you go it's going to be like that. There's probably 3-500 girls to choose from in all the places in San Jose, you just got to put in the leg work and check them all out. I generally get in the best shape of my life in CR from all the screwing and mainly the walking checking out every place. I think it would help also to know what your type of girls are. I'm not a big fan of asians or black girls so I know that I won't have as much fun in Thailand and Dom rep. But everything else is a bit better.

Is a nice place in San pedro, the private dance $ 15.

The girls $ 100 for fuck, suck $ 40, for my the best girls in night club.

As I have indicated, some of the best dancers the Tango india VIP came out to go Pelufo elite

I was a customer there, and several frecuentava as a valentine, onyx, Nadia and Paris.

IDEMS always has an excellent lineup of girls; no problems with Roberto's management; KAty is my personal favorite although I agree that Jimena has a sexy body. Marcella. Yup, the girl who has been around for years in different venues.

It's $60 per hour.

As has been posted they have the best lineup in SJ. When I went I thought the lineup at 3 was even better than the lineup at 6. I think the lineup at 3 might have been relative newbees while the lineup at 6 was known vets with great reps. If that's the case, they keep on recruiting great talent.

Took a girl upstairs, paid her 18, 000 for the full hour. When we started the action she told me that if I wanted a BBBJ it would cost me a extra 5, 000 colones.

Anyone been going to this new place called Candyland? They are spamming craigslist heavily.

Last night, as I was sipping a cappuccino and speaking poetry to my favorite putas, some folks came in to make a routine stop and make sure everyone was behaving themselves. When I say some, I mean about 100. When I say folks, I mean cops.

At about 9:30pm, prime time on a Friday night, the local gendarme conducted a raid of the Hotel Del Rey. They came in en masse, and blocked all the exits. Taking cedulas from the girls and shaking up, or rather, shaking down, the hotel management. We were not permitted to leave for at least 40-50 minutes while they got their point across to hotel management. Whatever that point would be.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]151385[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]151386[/ATTACH]

Outside, they had blocked the street off in several directions, preventing anyone from entering or exiting.

Always fun at the Rey.

Just for your information if you use ShuttleBus to get you from the airport to your hotel or for travel in CR you can pay the through Pay Pal which should be safe.

[QUOTE=AvidTraveler; 1264495]Does anyone have a good printable map of the Barrio Amon area? Ideally it shows where the hotels (HLH, SL, etc.) , bars, mps, and restaurants are.

It looks like Jackson's program censored part of your link.

To get around that just type each missing letter and add a space between each one.

Hey guys. I've been on the site quite a bit over the last couple years, but never really posted.

I've been living here for several years now. For those of you who are visiting San Jose for the first time, here are some thoughts on the basics. You will find a LOT more than what I mention here, but these are the places that seem to make every list and that have been around the longest. I've used this as the "intro" for the 50 or so people who've come to visit / party over the years, and this list has never let me down.

[B][U]GIRLS[/U][/B]

These are what I consider the 5 "staples". For me, I like a place that you can have a drink, sit bax, relax a little, talk to someone if you want, or just walk in and grab a girl. I HATE running around trying to remember which "black door to ring a doorbell" and I equally dislike the rat hole smell of some of these ultra cheap places. That's just me though.

1. For sheer quantity. 10-75 girls will be at Del Ray, most of them between 8pm and midnight (especially Fri / Sat). Quality is 0-8 (and a very, very rare 9 or 10)

2. For intimate bar / chatting. Little Havana in my opinion ranks pretty high because it usually has 4-10 girs and a bar to have a drink and chat if you want. So it's social or action, whichever you want. Quality is 0-6.

3. For relaxation. New Fantasy. Quality is 0-5 (and an occasional 6/7/8). However they now serve drinks and they have a sauna if you want to relax before / after.

4. For sports. Sportsmans Lodge is a great place to eat, have a drink and grab action. Very few girls during the day.

5. For fun. Key Largo (across from Del Ray). When it's open at night, it's fun and the girls rotate between Key Largo and Del Ray.

All of these places are within a mile of each other, or $3 taxi.

[B][U]HOTELS[/U][/B]

1. For comfort / value / convenience. * The Costa Rican Condo. Extremely nice, affordable, in the middle of everything and probably the single best value. It's a 3 bedroom. 2 bath, ultra-modern condo with bar, TV, internet, PS3, telescope (etc.) and a 24x7 security guard and it's less than $90 a night with zero guest fees. Google "the costa rican condo". I've sent a LOT of people here and it's a winner. It's a 3-minute/$3 taxi ride from any of the places listed here (except for the night clubs in escazu).

2. For comfort / convenience. Comfort Inn. It's nice, but the guest fees will kill you. I put this here because the Del Ray and 2. 4 million taxis are 50 feet out the front door.

3. For ultra-convenience (girls). Del Rey. Try it for at least a night if you plan on doing more than 3-5 girls in a 24 hour period.

4. For comfort / business (and an OCCASIONAL girl). Holiday Inn. They are NOT guest-friendly. If you are drunk and lost, the holiday inn seems to always be everyones "landmark"

5. Little Havana has VERY NICE rooms. A bit pricey, but nice. You get a discount on girls staying there. (This is located about 100 meters from the costa rican condo).

[B][U]NIGHT CLUBS[/U][/B]

1. For semi-grungy / semi-safe night clubs with a lot of people. Get in the taxi and say "El Pueblo". Fri / Sat nights. I say "semi safe" because there have been a few isolated incidents that give the place a bad name. But let's be real, if you are wanting to go clubbing on the weekend, that's just the life you have to deal with anywhere in latin america. This isn't ultra-safe, but there are a few thousand people, so it's not like it's a war-zone either. DRESS NORMAL to SEMI-NICE.

2. Also, (same as #1)."La Calle Armargura" (I think that's the name. Either way, the taxi driver will know it). * You can hit this place around 3pm, pay $30 for a bottle of vodka and watch the college girls roll in and out until 1am. The best place to get drunk and watch an assload of people come and go. It get's BUSY in this area on weekend nights, but it also stays steady through the week because it's next to the university. DRESS NORMAL to SEMI-NICE.

3. For EXPENSIVE but extremely upscale strip club with the hottest girls."Tengo India." I think it's a rip-off, but it's the nicest strip club I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen a LOT in about 15 different countries. This place has a retrofitted airplane for their VIP area. 4 upscale jacuzzi rooms, and a mega showroom. It's worth a visit one time.

4. For the most upscale nightclub / lounge in San Jose downtown, go to Rhapsodia or Vertigo (both are on Paseo Colon). DRESS NICE.

5. For the most upscale place just outside the city, try a place in Escazu called Dolce or Club Gaira. A little snobby, but some people like this. You can find hot local girls, but you'll need to game them a bit. DRESS TO IMPRESS.

[B][U]PRICES and GENERAL TIPS[/U][/B]

1. GIRLS: $30 hourly at the cheapest parlors to $90 hourly for the hottest girls at the del rey. They will start at $100-$150, but just ignore that and multiply their looks by $10. (a 7 would be $70 for an hour).

2. TAXIS. ALWAYS tell the driver to use the meter. Literally GET OUT of the taxi if they refuse. They wil rip you off every time.

3. PHARMACY. They all sell viagra. For pain killers, vics and oxy's do not exist. You will be stuck with codeine, but you can get it in ample supply.

4. LIQUOR. Get a bottle of vodka, rum, and tequila along with sprites and red bulls for your room. The girls will ALWAYS perform better if you give them a few drinks.

5. BAR TABS. NEVER DO THIS after 5pm. Everyone pads your tab.

6. TIPPING. DO NOT feel obligated ever to tip. If it's great service (sex, restaurant, or whatever) , then pay your bill and hand them them tip in cash while looking at them to let them know they did a good job. Also, remember that many places include a tip already on your tab and if you tip on top of that, then you look like a newbie.

7. AIRPORT. It's roughly $20 to get from the airport to downtown.

8. TRANNIES. The girls on the corners at night are trannies. A good joke to play on your male frields would be to have him approach one. But just be cautious as trannies can sometimes be a bit psycho.

9. HOOKERS STEAL. That is a fact of life. No matter how much one professes her love for you, she will swipe your droid or iphone. Hide your stuff when the girls are around.

For a great report so that any interested readers (like myself) can benefit from your experience!

This is very helpful, MK. Thanks. I am planning a trip to Costa Rica for the first time next March. San Jose and Jaco. What do think of Jaco for action? I will try to learn some Spanish before then as I am also going to Medellin.

You're constantly being heckled on the street by people if you are gringo, to buy drugs or chicas whatever it may be. On top of that the beach is disgusting, there is a lot of septic overflow going into the beach. There are also heavy currents / rip tides making it not very fun to swim, if you do get away from the shitrivers flowing in. I can however put you in touch with a guy who rents out condos, chica friendly, pool area. 24/7 security, yadda yadda. The price is great as well, PM me if you'd like the guy's phone number and email, he is gringo.

Thanks, Pirate, I am staying at a hotel for a conference there. Just looking for a slim and busty chica to spend the evenings with for 1 or 2 evenings.

Frankly, Mike's list of hotels is a bit "curious" to me. La Amistad is a chica friendly gem one block from the Sportsmans (which has a lot of chicas in the evenings, BTW). I love the Amistad, as it does not feel like a hooker hotel but it 100% chica freindly. I hate staying a the Del Rey- the rooms are rip off and the proximity to the del rey chicas actaully encourages quick sessions.

Not sure why only the new fantasy and the HLH (which is great) were the only one's mentioned by someone who lives there. There are dozens of mid range MPs with talent as good as New Fantasy, which many of us find over rated and overprices, with tons of upsell. You won't get upsell at Kama Sutra, Oasis, VIPs, ect.

I have always found Le Grillon to be the best strip club.

Not that I am going to take the time to type out a better one, LOL, New Fantasy is horrible. They have 2 pricing structures and Ticos only pay about 20 bucks for what costs a Gringo 55. The girl doesn't get the extra money neither from what I have been told.

Last time I was there the girls pricing difference between dollars and colones was so far off I attempted to walk out of the room and the girl broke down immediately and I ended up paying 10 mil for a half hour versus 28! How she was converting 35 dollars to 28, 000 colones (55 bucks) is beyond me. Add to that most of them have sour attitudes, upcharge for every single thing you could imagine, condoms included (who the fuck takes condoms to a brothel, that is like taking sand to the beach).

[QUOTE=Psychman; 1283595]I thought the same thing, for someone who lives in CR, pretty weak list. Not that I am going to take the time to type out a better one, LOL, New Fantasy is horrible.[/QUOTE]Is Amistad better? Depends on if you are looking for higher quality talent or a sauna / steam. NF has always been at the top for me because of that. The relative pricing and selection has gone down, but that doesn't mean it's not a great place to relax with clients after a massage and discuss work inside the steam room. If they could up the talent there, it'd be great, but again, it has it's role there (for me anyway).

I specifically said that my list was very basic and the main reason I mentioned only NF and LH was because the first has showers / steam / sauna and the second has a nice small bar and good atmosphere. Amistad is good (probably better for talent) as are others, but I think the idea was just to give an idea of different places vs. Different girls. In all reality, the girls seems to move around like seasonal birds anyway. When I bring clients down, there are a dozen places we can go for girls, but new fantasy seems to be the one that has the sauna, LH the one with the most social bar, SL the one to watch a game, and DR to find girls en masse. Amistad is fine, but for me it'd just be a place to find "more girls than a typical spot." Nice, and in the top grouping, but again, my point wasn't to create an exhaustive list. There are a lot of those around.

Most of them (and there are quite a few) have way too much useless info. Like the man said, its basic info.

Thank you.

What's the cost to take a chica out of the Pirate Club and bring her back to your hotel for a couple of hours?

Hi everyone,

I ll be in Costa Rica next August and I am looking for some massage parlour in San Jose and around the country near the beaches.

I went to CR about 3 years ago and I got a link to map with all the massage parlors and pretty much everything in town on it. Does anyone know where to get a map like this again? I will be in town with 3 buddies on Aug 3. Looking for MPs during the day. And some good strip clubs. I didn't go to one strip club when I was there. Do they exist? Help me out with any links to a map of some sort.

GS[/QUOTE]I will be in San Jose the first time Labor Day weekend and I have been working on a San Jose map using Google maps so I can have the maps on my phone and use the GPS and etc. I have decided to share the map for others to use. I will be staying at the Sportsmens Lodge so I have only added those places that are in walking distance from the hotel.

This is not original work and all credit goes to person who created the map at [url]http://adultcostarica.net/[/url]

Plenty of strip clubs, they're called night clubs in Costa Rica. I like Pantera Rosa. 5000 colones cover, comes with 3 rail drinks. 2 beers or 2 sodas. Lap dances (chica drinks) are 5000 colones, and the private rooms are 15, 500 for 15 minutes. 31, 000 for 30. Lesbian show every Friday and Saturday. Don't throw your money on stage, don't have to do that in CR.

I would say avoid Hollywood, Tango India and I think Atlantis got closed down so no big deal there. Might as well avoid D'pelufos as well it's super Tico. It can be fun but I only go with Ticos. If anyone else can add some clip joints to this list to avoid as well.

I don't have a map for you though, sorry.

I will be traveling in Sept. Are the prices provided current. I was last there in Jan 2008. It seem like the prices were a little higher when I was there?

Guys.

I could not find much information about MPs in SJ.

How is the scene now a days, how does it work?

Has anyone found any good looking girls there? Any english speaking ones?

Which ones are recommended and whats the best time to visit them etc?

Will appreciate any intel.

Thanks

Prices on your map are a bit out of date.

Recent prices I paid (2012 visit) :

Krysis massage parlor: C 12000 for 30 minutes.

Hotel Little Havana (old Zona Blue) : $50 USD for one hour.

Hotel Del Ray: $70 USD for full service one hour (CBJ, DATY, kissing)

Sportsman's Lodge: $70 USD full service (CBJ, DATY, kissing)

Pantera Rosa: C5000 entry (2 drinks) ; C5000 girl drink / dance; C31, 000 for 30 minutes room (CBJ, sex)

New Fantasy: C18000 for 30 minutes; C1000 condom if you do not bring your own.

Relax massage: C15000 for 30 minutes. I really liked Pamela (she speaks English)

Overall for this past trip, I had the most enjoyment from the girls at HDR. Negotiated all I wanted from them, no rush in the room. Lots of good looking girls in the lobby from which to choose.

Most of these massage places will have a better deal for the one hour price.

I was more interested in seeing how the girls would perform first before committing to a full hour.

Did you stay at Little Havena Ho.

Did you stay at Hotel Little Havana? Is Muses still opened?

Did you stay at Hotel Little Havana? Is Muses still opened?[/QUOTE]Is Muses the place around the corner from HLH with an OPEN sign in the window and nothing else? If so they appear to be open still.

just came back 2 weeks ago. good trip. a short review.

zona roja.

i went to the 4 brothels on calle 6. casa portuguesa. maison. paramount. lilliam. waste of time. about 5-8 girls in each one. no hot girls; unattractive. i went in the morning and didn't even want to ask for the price.

just around the corner and a block away is krysis brothel (pensione). a block away from that on avenida 7 is 70e (jet set?). anyway, both were a waste of time in that there were no hot girls. we're looking for beautiful, hot girls, right? not just service on the cheap.

tangas bar is right next to nicole's brothel and they had a few good lookers.

bella mansion is a bar with a couple tv sets showing porn. i saw 5 girls talking with customers. they were about a 6. i saw one 7, but she was already talking to someone. waste of time. lipsticks is about a block away on calle central, and it was similar in design and quality of girls. waste of time.

gringo gulch.

just a block away from the holiday inn is hotel little havana. the rooms are nice and clean. you get some kind of discount for the girls if you stay here. i didn't see a lot of girls because i was way too early, like lunch time.

new fantasy pensione. very hot girls. i saw about 15. i am told they have rotations and more would be available later.

2 blocks east of that is sportsman lodge, and of course there are lots of reviews of that. good looking girls.

hdr really does have a lot of hot girls. some of them walk over to the key largo, so you see the same girls, but kl is so dark, it's actually hard to see the girls unless you're right in front of them, or you peek at them coming out of the bathroom. you can talk down all the girls to $80. they start at $100. most of them are aged 20 to 23, and many of them are hot, especially on a weekend evening.

on a side note, i didn't see any sw nearby or near the morazan park.

paseo colon.

i went to veronica's. hard to find because so many of these brothels have no signs or addresses. it's next to a chinese restaurant called el favorito on calle 36 and avenida central. there were about 5 girls, average looking. they weren't ugly. they were 5-6 in looks. age 21-28. i was looking for better, so i left.

a few blocks away is oasis. it's on calle 32, near ave 1. this place is definitely worth going to (compared to other brothels). there were 8 girls. the girls ranged from 6 to 8 in looks. i took a redhead, daniella. 26 yo, for about $20 for fs. she had been doing this for 14 days. great body and a large tattoo on her back. she was very passionate and a good actress. haha. i first offered $10 for a bbbj, and then countered her no with a $20, which she gladly accepted. i finished in her mouth. gfe. would repeat.

I stayed at the Sportsman's Lodge during my recent trip. I was very happy with the security. Every girl who passed through the front door had her I'd carefully checked and recorded in a log book. As far as the girls available at SL during the evenings, I found them to be of average quality. There were perhaps 15-20 women around, mostly between 25-35 years old, and ranged from 4-7 in appearance. I really did not see any stunners at SL this time around. They will go to your room for about 70-80 USD, although you might negotiate a better rate midweek and earlier in the evening. During the weekend I stayed they had a live 2 person gringo guitar cover band. Good songs. Some of the patrons got up and did some karaoke with the band. Fun and nice environment. By the way, most of the rooms at SL are going to be noisy. If you want quiet before 2 AM, get a room in the new wing in the back. The courtyard rooms are right off the bar and are quite loud.

My experience at Hotel Little Havana was interesting. Very secure from the outside. You need to be buzzed in past the iron gate at the entrance. Once inside you walk to the back and ps some stairs to the bar. I was there in early afternoon. A bit quiet, but about 7-8 girls available, range 4-7 in appearance, all young. On the website the rooms for rent seem very nice. If you stay at HLH you get a disount on the girs, $35 USD per hour. All the girls will want tips. I looked around a bit then asked two girls for a double. I negotiated DFK and DATY. They seemed okay with that. I paid $100 USD to the bartender and we went to a room in the main corridor. The room was clean, but reminded me of a prison cell. Open shower area and large bed. The girls wasted a lot of time in the shower, then ultimately wanted to end early, even though I had not cum yet. So much for the hour. One of the girls was into the session a lot more, and did let me DATY, the other one not so much. CBJ, fucked both. During the session, the girls asked me if I wanted to smoke pot. I declined. They seemed upset, but I persoanlly do no drugs, and did not want to be in a situation where I am a foreigner and drugs are being used. After a mediocre session, they both wanted a $20 tip each. I declined, and against my better judgement gave them $10 each. They were unhappy with that. I would still recommended HLH, but just not those girls. Sorry I do not remember their names.

Muses is still open. The earlier poster is exactly right, it is the nondescript gray front, in the middle of the block, with a lighted window sign "OPEN" I have been there before, it is okay. Did not go this trip.

I can't believe it but it's been 12 years since I've been to Costa Rica. I recall having a good visit to the Bar Idem. Just wondering if anybody has been there lately and how is it? What is the current prices there?

Sportsman's Lodge: $70 USD full service (CBJ, DATY, kissing)

Pantera Rosa: C5000 entry (2 drinks) ; C5000 girl drink / dance; C31, 000 for 30 minutes room (CBJ, sex)

New Fantasy: C18000 for 30 minutes; C1000 condom if you do not bring your own.

Relax massage: C15000 for 30 minutes. I really liked Pamela (she speaks English)

Overall for this past trip, I had the most enjoyment from the girls at HDR. Negotiated all I wanted from them, no rush in the room. Lots of good looking girls in the lobby from which to choose.

Most of these massage places will have a better deal for the one hour price.

I was more interested in seeing how the girls would perform first before committing to a full hour.[/QUOTE]Pardon my ignorance but I've never been to the massage places. Are the prices you paid for complete full service (just like what you would get from HDR except you have 30 minutes)?

[QUOTE=Exoticspirit;1330978]I can't believe it but it's been 12 years since I've been to Costa Rica. I recall having a good visit to the Bar Idem. Just wondering if anybody has been there lately and how is it? What is the current prices there?[/QUOTE]I was there over labor day weekend and if I remember correctly they were charging 36000 colones for the hour. It can be kind of hit or miss in terms of talent, on this trip there was a hottie in there so I decided to session. She wanted a tip for BBBJ and DATY she was also offering her culo, we agreed on a full cien for everything, she was one of only two girls I paid a full cien to on this trip. Both times I did it, it was because both girls were offering up their culo.

For your other question, I usualy poke my head into all of the main MP in the gulch and the prices listed above seem pretty acurate however in most cases you will have to tip extra for BBBJ or DATY.

Please bear in mind that the US passport card is worthless in Costa Rica. It can ONLY be used for land or sea travel, and ONLY for Canada, México, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Furthermore, it won't prove to a Costa Rican cop that you are in the country legally.

Mongers you will notice that Dickhead never posts about which places are opened or closed.

He does not give a damn about helping anyone but himself.

I searched the threads to see what is open and what is closed. I did not find much information about the a lot of places.

Yes, the prices change, but it is a helpful guide.

PM Dickhead, I'm sure he will give you all the information you need to find places and tell you the all the latest prices.

[QUOTE=Dickhead; 1434352]World Traveler is an acid casualty from the 60s who spams with outdated information, and specializes in doing this in Latin American countries although he can't speak much Spanish. The net result is better when his information is outdated, because when it's current the prices are always Gringoflated because he does stuff like have bellhops and taxi drivers call the wh@rehouse To find out the "price" and then takes it as gospel. He may be the most gullible monger I have ever met, and I have met quite a few.

It would be nice if you would have looked at my OLD List and mentioned which places have closed? Now you can Tell Us which ones are closed on this latest List.

I spent hours researching this stuff.

[QUOTE=Jonesie;1434327]Tell my you copied and pasted this, I'd hate to think of you typing all that inaccurate information out by hand. Many of your listings are no longer there, and the info is incomplete at times, and missing altogether at others.[/QUOTE]

Have you used the passport card for ID in Costa Rica? Of course you haven't!

Perhaps you would care to peruse my reports from my latest trip to Mendoza where I reported on SEVERAL closed places. The last time I was in CR I did not encounter any closed places and so did not report on any. You could also peruse my reports from my previous trip to several of the provinces in Northern Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay where I checked up on numerous places that had been mentioned in prior years. Or, you could look at my report from Boquete, Panamá where everyone insisted there was no mongering but I found some. Or, you could keep on reporting obsolete third hand bullshit. That's probably a lot more likely. I've reported 50 times more valuable information over the years than you ever have.

[blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]

Some may enjoy my posts and some may not, but every place I have posted about, I have actually been to. It's a fairly basic concept.

I Like Your Stories, But,

But you somehow want to Put Down Mongers that want to help other Mongers.

Why?

Like I Said, The Card is a Good I'd.

And Yes in Buenos Aires I had someone copy my color passport of the first two pages. I had them laminate it, but they are toooo big two carry in your American Made Levi's pockets, or my Wranglers.

Come On, Help Our Monger Brothers, Stop Teaching Them Your Negatives.

What do have you to Lose?

Maybe they can Give your some Great Info.

I guest I need to Update My List On your Recommendations In B.A..
PM me Any Time You have Corrections That Would To Help Our Brothers Mongers.
So Far It Has Been None!!!

Yes I got my CC Cards used in Venezuela.
But Have Been there?
I know you got Fucked in Colombia, was that a Spanish Speaking Fuck Up?
Yes, my is Spanish is Passable, but yours Was Not. I Hope You Did Not Lose Any Teeth?

The only Bellhop I have used was in Mendoza was at a Five Star Hotel and that when I asked for for a massage.

The rest of the Privados my buddy found where by walking around asking were they were they.

All for the rest or information for my Lists, I went to them or I had a good Friend Spanish Speaking Friend Call them, my friends that spoke better Spanish than I did.

Dickhead was did not want to help You and Me Get the prices, that might screw him up on his Cheap bargaining Prices.

He is a Gringo, because he speaks somewhat Fair Spanish, and that you do not, well if you don't then What?

He Is better than than Us.

And he will not Help You?

Does That Get You Thinking About Yourself? DickHead?

Joneinse knows because he has been in Three foreign Countries.

Because you jumped on me for My List on this thread.

I guess you did not need or use them for the other countries that I posted them in?

[QUOTE=Jonesie;1435224]Try thirty, but I'm not sure what this has to do with me.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I have been to Venezuela and did not like it. In fact, it is my least favorite Latin American country. I would not say I got fucked in Colombia, just too many petty thefts and bullshit. None of it had anything to do with my Spanish-speaking abilities, which I guess are just fair since I have a bachelor's degree in it and got an A in every single course. Every single time I have reported on an actual mongering experience I have reported the price. Every. Single. Time. Unless, of course, nothing had changed from the last time I had reported the price at the exact same place. I report drink prices, food prices, Viagra prices, exchange rates, and bus prices. I report on how to get around on public transportation. I report on how to say things in Spanish.

So exactly what the fuck else is it that you would like me to report to help my fellow mongers? What you continue to fail to understand, probably due to all the LSD or the liberal Kool-Aid you drink on a regular basis, is that is THE OPPOSITE OF HELPFUL when you report inflated prices.

If you can find even one instance where I went to a new (to me) place and did not report the price, I will buy you a one-year subscription to Fox News.

Fellow mongers, [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue] but for everyone else, you do not want to copy the first two pages. You want to copy the declaration page and the PAGE WITH THE VISA STAMP, and you sure as fuck don't want to laminate it.

Jesus.

I hated Venezuela.

Where did I inflate the prices?

Those prices were posted by a monger or mongers.

Or in B. A. I walked, called or had a friend call about the prices.

Helpful, check out how helpful Zing123 is in Bogota. That is what I mean by being helpful.

Dude, I have patiently explained this to you many, many times over the years. You inflate the prices by calling with bad Spanish, showing up with bad Spanish, or using third parties who give you inflated prices in hopes of a commission. Now, I will admit it is possible that the prices that were posted by some monger you quoted were inflated for likely the same reasons. Or maybe you just don't like to negotiate. But I have pointed out, again many times over the years, specific instances where you have posted prices way higher than recent reports have quoted. Not everybody can learn Spanish or any other language, but if you aren't fairly fluent, then you are wasting your time passing yourself off as an expert on prices. You shouldn't post prices you got from some random monger. You should only post from personal experience following a completed session, not some price somebody gave you, especially if you don't know that person.

So no, I did not use your list in Colombia, or anywhere else. I used recent actual reports in Colombia (the RTFF approach). Basically, when you go into a privado, you don't want to ask any questions you don't already know the answer to (just as attorneys in court never want to get surprise answers). You want to already know the price the locals are paying. Some of my techniques for accomplishing that are:

1) Talking to locals in my "fair" Spanish. And I mean mongers, not cab drivers. Cab drivers are okay for places but never for prices.
2) Reading the local fora, using my "fair" Spanish.
3) Calling the privado and imitating the local accent in my "fair" Spanish, which was learned and polished in thirteen Spanish-speaking countries plus Puerto Rico, and supplemented by years of formal study.
4) Reading the local newspaper ads.
5) Going to the privado, and although I am barely able to understand what they say with my "fair" Spanish, and then when they tell me the price is X, saying:
A) 'No, I know the price is Y' even if I don't actually know that = bluffing, or
B) 'I can pay Y. '
C) 'Okay' and then starting to walk out, which will often miraculously lower the price.

In general, most Americans don't like to negotiate prices. I don't really like to either, but in Latin America, you have to get over that. And I have! That might be because I have lived in four different Spanish-speaking countries, for a total of nine years. But that means nothing to you. All you did when I told you years ago you were fucking things up was continue to do the same thing. I am sure you spent hours putting together your list. I could spend hours picking up needles with a pair of tweezers. This ain't a try-hard league; this is a do-good league.

Hope that helps! Oh yeah, and you have NO FUCKING IDEA how many dozens of mongers I have helped over the years, taking them places, translating for them, calling chicas for them, screening and interviewing chicas for them, and mediating disputes. In fact, once I helped a monger through the entire process of setting a chica up on the payroll with an ATM card and all that, all the while telling him what a terrible idea it was. My reward for that? He accused me of cheating him at cards. So it is a thankless job no matter what your approach is. So thank you for your efforts, but not for your results.

I am done now. Sorry for cluttering up the board.

I'll say that when I looked over the San Jose stuff, a bunch of it looked dated to me. Jonesie's site and I would assume CRT are much more recent and updated sources of information. Here are some of the issues I've got with the list:

1) No mention of Paseo Colon. KS and a bunch of the nearby places are typically grouped as PC. Prices for KS went up years ago.

2) Looking at your Calle 6 prices, Dickhead has a point because those are donkey prices right there. I think the real prices are like 6k / 30 mins.

3) There's like 12 casinos in SJ and you have one listed?

I could go on with a bunch of other criticisms, but I understand that you're just trying to help everyone out, but in this case, the ship has passed you by. CRT and Ticaland both already have a much better and more recent consolidation of information, in a more palatable format to boot. There are a bunch of blanks and inaccuracies in your report from making it useful as a one stop shop. I would personally much rather get information from someone who is on the ground directly than someone who is collecting hearsay.

One last thing: having traveled around the world, mostly non mongering, I can tell you that if you don't have a rudimentary grasp of the language, you're a donkey. If you can't have a simple conversation in Spanish, not only would I not trust you as a resource, but I would say that you've probably gotten victimized more often than you've realized.

I posted the first List in 2007 when I was there.

There was no List, only hundreds of pages with little information.

So, to make it easy for Newbies I made a List for all of us, as I have done in 13 other countries and some of their cities.

But, you could always ask a Cab driver.

Some mongers pointed out some changes on the first list.

But lately most of you pay CRT or Ticoland for the information, but a lot of other members don't.

I Don't either, I support ISG.

So you CRT members don't have to use my efforts.

Some guys jump on my List, but few care to say what places are closed and that the prices have gone up.

Yes, there are lots of Casinos, but my time was spent finding places to get laid, not fucked.

But, you welcome to tell Us Mongers what are the changes.

I guess I could I say I have in 20+ countries non mongering, and 51 mongering, but so what. The non Mongering was when I was married for a few years and with girl friends.

I got by in most, only Venezuela screwed up my credit card.

Since CRT is in Competition with Jackson, maybe CRT should be banded on this site.

Dickhead did not like my Lists in Buenos Aires either, but most others like and use it.
Check it out.

3) Calling the privado and imitating the local accent in my "fair" Spanish, which was learned and polished in thirteen Spanish-speaking countries plus Puerto Rico, and supplemented by years of formal study.

4) Reading the local newspaper ads.

5) Going to the privado, and although I am barely able to understand what they say with my "fair" Spanish, and then when they tell me the price is X, saying:

A) 'No, I know the price is Y' even if I don't actually know that = bluffing, or.

B) 'I can pay Y. '

C) 'Okay' and then starting to walk out, which will often miraculously lower the price.

In general, most Americans don't like to negotiate prices. I don't really like to either, but in Latin America, you have to get over that. And I have! That might be because I have lived in four different Spanish-speaking countries, for a total of nine years. But that means nothing to you. All you did when I told you years ago you were fucking things up was continue to do the same thing. I am sure you spent hours putting together your list. I could spend hours picking up needles with a pair of tweezers. This ain't a try-hard league; this is a do-good league.

Hope that helps! Oh yeah, and you have NO FUCKING IDEA how many dozens of mongers I have helped over the years, taking them places, translating for them, calling chicas for them, screening and interviewing chicas for them, and mediating disputes. In fact, once I helped a monger through the entire process of setting a chica up on the payroll with an ATM card and all that, all the while telling him what a terrible idea it was. My reward for that? He accused me of cheating him at cards. So it is a thankless job no matter what your approach is. So thank you for your efforts, but not for your results.

I am done now. Sorry for cluttering up the board.[/QUOTE]

World T,

I came across a little strong about your list, I didn't mean to. I've benefited from your other lists on trips to other places, and I'm grateful you do it. If you need a hand in the future, I'm happy to help.

[QUOTE=World Travel 69; 1435955]You made up all these words to say my Spanish is not as good as yours.

You are right.

So, why not make it easy and Help All of Us and [b]Just Put The Right Prices In! [/b]

Or is that too much to ask you to do?

Sounds simple to most of us.

Help Them, not me.[/QUOTE]

It is not easy to do lists for any country other than Buenos Aries, Argentina. In B. A. each place has its own thread, so when mongers talk about places and prices it is easier to find.

Plus, I have been to most of those places, in the 10 years I have been going there.

The problem now in B. A. is that government is cracking down on the places, claiming most places are using child or chicas that are forced to work in those places.

Thanks for your offer to help. I will not be able to the lists forever.

I personally am very glad that World Travel 69 has made his lists available to members of the ISG. I have used it many times in countries and cities in Central and South America from Guatemala down to Argentina. It gives me a reference point for certain places and names and addresses that I've forgotten a lot. Keep up the good work World Travel 69.

Okay guys, how about a little help.

I did get some new info from One Monger.

Thanks

After I posted all this useful information to help us Mongers, What do You all and Dickhead have nothing to say?

Come on Open Up and join in?

The Hotel List Should Help say some Shit or Not?

FWIW, I'll say that info like the PDFs posted by World Traveler 69 is much appreciated. Had a good trip to San Jose three years ago, but info from then is likely out of date now. So things like this really help. My usual areas are Thailand and the Philippines, but I'm working the system on Spirit more to do exploratory trips in this hemisphere (also have Cartagena coming up). Will do reports as always afterward.

I plan to visit CR for the first time in late October this year. I would not plan a mongering trip here except I will be going to san jose for some dental work. I admit I am now terribly spoiled by the Philippines and I have tried almost desperately to find alternative dental facilities in Thailand or Philippines without success. So CR here I come. I appreciate finding your list here and will probably use it to navigate my free time in the evenings when I'm free of the dentist's chair. If I notice anything significant to update on your list I will make an effort to send you any meaningful updates I can. Thanks for taking the time to compile and share your list here.

One thing I never seem to have time to try in the Philippines are their massage parlors. So I will do that in CR for a change of pace. It seems to me that massage in CR may be one of the better values since I know I will miss the overnight hospitality and bargain price of GFE I get in the Philippines.

Sad to say that this year's reviews are very underwhelming. It seems the only competition going in the Costa Rica massage parlor business is who could not give a shit less. A big departure from years past. Whereas a couple years ago, you were looking for the hottest girl to bang, these days, you're just looking for the leper with the most skin.

As with most reviews, this is my opinion based on my experience, others may differ.

1. 360: This place manages to do better than the others. They usually have 10-12 girls available between 5-8 in quality. Service seems to be decent, and the price is reasonable at 13k hh / 18k hour. In paseo colon.

2. Relax: I've found some gems in Relax. I've found my share of toads as well. They tend to have a good vibe between the girls and the service reflects it.

3. Zona II: The upscale half of the now defunct Little Havana. Great renovations, but this is a review of massage parlors, not construction. A couple of the prettier girls from HLH, and a couple more new girls that aren't that bad. Talent could be better, but is still higher than the abysmal norm.

4. La Mansion: Lower right corner of the Ticaland map. This place has fielded some winners. Has it's share of uglies as well. But back to the leper with the most skin approach.

5. Idem: Idem used to be a great place with the idea you pay a little more for top grade talent. The talent's gone, but the price has gone up anyway.

6. Monaco: Upper left side of the map, I've managed to do well here at times, but still batting about 20.

7. Krysis: This place can have pretty girls at times, and others can have an ugly festival. It really is a coin toss.

8. New Fantasy: This place actually fields decent talent and plenty of variety. But the racial tiered pricing still bothers me.

9. Arcadas: Across from Molina Rojo. About half the time, I've found a cute, nasty girl to bang here. Other times, not so much.

10. Scores: If this were only a place to watch sporting events, I'the give it high marks. As a massage place, it's downright horrible. Worst recruiting ever. Calle 6 quality girls, gringo pricing. All the same bad ideas of HLH, with half the square footage. I think the only way to wreck this place faster would be to set it on fire.

11. Eros: On occasion, I've found a cute girl here with good service. More often than not, a nasty attitude girl with bad service.

12. Muses: Around the corner from Zona and Scores. Never had a good session there, seems like they're trying to give you a bad time.

13. Calle 6: This place has some of the highest concentration of ugly per square foot in Costa Rica. Quantity isn't lacking. Does have freak-show value for the adventurous tourist looking to go dumpster diving.

14. Illusiones: This is the place I've done better than anywhere, up until 2011, when they took a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] and never recovered. These days, they don't even let you in half the time.

15. Mona Lisa 2nd Floor: Not sure what they were thinking here. When the average mp price point is $40 an hour, they started at $140. Varying account as to what the girl's cut was. Seems like just another odd idea hatched from the loins of this building.

There was a time when you could say the mp scene in San Jose was the true monger value of Costa Rica. Those days haven't been here for quite some time.

As I said, this is my opinion. Feel free to have a different one.

I've been to Scores a few times recently and enjoyed great service each time with a few different girls, all solidly in the 6-7 range for me. $40 is higher than $26 at 360 and $35 at NF, but still a good deal compared to Sportsmans and the Blue Marlin where you are in $60-80 plus a $10-$30 short stay room someplace. The rooms at Scores have clean sheets and attached baths with hot water, so that part is comfortable. Scores can get really slow depending on when you happen to be there, but with the good food, drink, and HDTV it's a comfortable place to hang out and see who shows up. I do agree with you that Jeff and his partners could do a better job recruiting to plus up the variety. The good news is if you can't find a chica you like there, you are only feet away from Zona II and a block from New Fantasy.

I am a senior member in the states and really appreciate this guide. Thank you for making my trips to Costa Rica outstanding. It is my current favorite destination. With that said where is 360?

Thank you so much.

It got busted maybe 2 weeks ago, both locations, only closed for 1 day but a regular customer has reported elsewhere 3-4 days ago that as a result they lost app 50% of its talent and had lost its current #1 rank.

I know I have heard of this place. When I looked on my 2 maps I was not able to locate. Would appreciate the location of 360.

Thought I would also contribute. I did go to Eros. It is across from bar Idem. I believe it was 40 for 1/2 hr. Plus a 10 bbj tip. Friendly staff esp for English speaking people. I will return.

After 2 trips and experimenting with all the great options offered my favorite place is the Del Ray. Always the best selection. I admit it may take some time to find the exact right person and right price for you. I have even pulled a girl out of there at 8am. The short stay is around the corner if needed.

I tend to like day time activety more than nights so the strip bar activity was limited. Also like eros and Club fantasy. The maps and reports that have been provided in the past have been most helpful.

Thanks guys

It is on Daniel's map.

Day One: 08 May 2014.

My first trip to Costa Rica was in April 2003 and over the span of eleven years I have travel there more than ten times. On this particular trip I traveled solo which left me free to manage my own time. I decided on this trip not to be such a stickler on the girls look as I am normally and basically had one criteria. No fat girls. So let me clarify the difference between fat and thick. When a large girl is walking either towards or away from you certain areas of her body should not giggle. Another test is when she is standing or sitting next to you touch an arm or leg, or give her a hug with a gentle squeeze if she is soft, fat if she is firm and tight, thick and this is a world of difference.

So if you are a newbie (first or second trip) stick to using taxi or hotel shuttle when leaving the airport simply because you do not know where you are going. For more seasoned travelers walk past the taxis down the ramp to the left to the main road then turn right you will see a bus stop. The buses have their route posted in the front window. Get on the Red bus that has "Alajuela San Jose" for less than a dollar this will get you to the central terminal in downtown San Jose, blocks from your hotel and all the action. I made the mistake of taking the red / tan bus with the same route that left me on the NW section of town with a bit longer walk.

I arrived at my hotel (more on that later) got settled and headed to MP 747. This is my favorite spot in San Jose. It used to be 4,500 col ($10 USD) for 30 min now it will run you 10,000 col ($20 USD). The quality of the girls has gone down a bit but the service is still very good. On this day I walk in and there was only one girl available. Wasn't bad, but a littler larger than I would have liked. I almost decided to go with her but two ticos walked in right behind me and one of them scooped her up immediately, no love lost. Instead of waiting to see who would come out next I decided to head up avendida 9 to find Muses but I could not remember were it was. After 30 min I head back to 747 but it was closed, so need a another "cheap" place to relax. Went to Krysis on Avendida 7. Only one girl, dark skinned slender, 20 K *$40 USD) for one hour. Started with a massage, she ask if I wanted bbj or CBJ. I requested bbj then she gave every excuse why bbj was a problem I did not offer tip and just took CBJ. Several positions no complaints, in all a good session complete with shower. Went back to hotel for several hours before heading out to Del Rey and Key Largo. When I go to DR and KL it is primarily to take in the eye candy, which quite a few of you have mentioned has diminished over the year (I will explain why later) but there are still gems to be had here and you can get what you came for for $60 USD if your timing is right and you negotiate effectively. I saw many very attractive 8 & 9 but my strategy here is to get girls that are attracted to me. So if the girl approaches you you have the upper hand in the negotiations. So, after a couple of hours two girls approached whom I ignored because one of them was just not my type. Later the other girl approached again, we conversed and settled on $80 USD. She had her own car so I did not have to deal with taxi. She was 5'7" a 7 on my scale olive skin black shoulder length hair and very accommodating. Paid up front no tip asked for and none given though our session lasted three hours and was worth every col.

Again had fun. Will return. Calle 9 South of Ave 10.

Can not find the address to this either.

Can anyone help?

I have been to Illusions, Relax, Muses, New Fantasy, and Hotel Little Havana. I have enjoyed all of them.

I am looking for MP that I have not been that is in the general area and has a good reputation for decent girls and decent experiences.

Can anyone make some recommendations?

[URL]http://www.latintravelvip.com/san-jose/candyland/[/URL]

But it could sure have moved. I was there in 2014 and it was off of Calle 3 A. Or, there could even be two places with that name.

Did you look on the Map?

2. Night Club Veronica’s Sala, Calle 36, S.W. between Paseo Colon and Avenida 2, near Oasis, adjacent to Favorita Restaurant. Narrow turquoise building with no sign, appears to be busy. 5+ Dancers. Prices: c12k 30 min., c15k hour. Tel: ______. Hours: ___.

[QUOTE=Bearyc;1684554]Can not find the address to this either.

Can anyone help?[/QUOTE]

It is important to remember, prior to attempting to find actual addresses that would be comprehensible to an ordinary English-speaking person, that no such thing as street numbers exists anywhere in the country. I think that is what our seemingly helpless poster is finding difficult. At least now a lot of San José has street [B]signs[/B], which actually amazed me. But if you are looking for 648 Elm Street, you aren't going to ever find it that way. And, you have to get used to the grid. 6th street is one block from 4th street and one block from 8th street and a fuck of a long way from 7th street!

The northeast quadrant has ODD numbered calles (números ímpares) and ODD numbered avenidas. The northwest quadrant has EVEN numbered (números pares) calles (streets) and ODD numbered avenidas (avenues). The southwest quadrant has even numbered calles and avenidas. The southeast quadrant has even numbered avenidas and odd numbered calles.

Hope that helps! ¡Pura Vida!

[QUOTE=Bearyc;1684721]What time does it open?[/QUOTE]

So far what has been working for me is of course Hotel Del Rey. Every time I walk in the door there is a nice selection. Of course the price is a bit higher. I had been paying between 50 and 80. The price at some of the more local places has been ranging from 40 to 60. I have done well at Muses, New Fantasy, and Illusions. The downside to me at these places is that there is very little English spoken.

Okay today I took a walk and found it. There are really no street signs. However if you had North on 3 a it merges with Ave 15 and then merges with a another main Street which I believe is 108. Again nothing is Marked. It is really not that hard to find because once it merges with the main Street you will see a sign on the left "Centro Comercial El Pueblo". Just a few buildings before you get to that sign. On the opposite side- Candyland is on the right-hand side. However it is not called Candyland anymore. I was told that it changed owners and I saw a sign that said Fantasy Island. However that sign was not hanging nor was it noticeable until I walked in. I arrived at 2 PM and it was open on a Saturday. I was told that no girls would arrive before 4 PM. The gentleman said that there would be between 15 and 20 girls on any given day. My gut tells me it will be about half that.

On the opposite side- Candyland is on the right-hand side. However it is not called Candyland anymore. I was told that it changed owners and I saw a sign that said Fantasy Island. However that sign was not hanging nor was it noticeable until I walked in. I arrived at 2 PM and it was open on a Saturday. I was told that no girls would arrive before 4 PM. The gentleman said that there would be between 15 and 20 girls on any given day. My gut tells me it will be about half that.[/QUOTE]

Over the past 3 years I have been working off of the maps that are several years old. They seem to be rather outdated. Some of the places do not exist anymore. I found some new places that are not on the map. One of the things that would be interested in is any of the local massage parlors (or whatever you call them here). Occasionally I find one or two gems in these little places. Does anybody have any updated info or maps. As I do every trip here I will post what I find.

Good vibe inside. Had to pay and extra 10 for BBBJ from nice thin tica with good attitude. Really did make an effort to please me. However she maintained her disconnection from the event. I will try someone else next time and try to remember names.

I hope that you are not talking about my map.

I made it last year.

I can only update it when someone tells what has closed or what is new.

Since I can not be in two places at once it would be great help if you told us which are opened or closed.

Right now I am doing research in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Sorry to say it is not a good place to get laid in anymore.

The girl told me it was $24 per half-hour everything.

Even though she was less than attractive then my preference- and the other girl who was there was worse- I decided that it was quick and easy to get a quick BBBJ on my way home.

By the time she added up the money for BB BJ without a condom in licking my balls and making out. She was higher than the pretty hot looking girl new fantasy.

I walked out. Perhaps. Another day and see what it's like.

I am getting to old.

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;1882842]I walked and walked to update this list.[/QUOTE]

I finally found this place open. A few weeks ago it was not.

Yesterday I went inside. A very nice clean place.

About six or so rooms.

It was noon and only one chica was working. The guys in charge said that there would more chicas in a little while.

I did not wait.

Some changes to my listing.

The Green Palace, Avenida 11, between Calles 5 and 7. 5-6 Chicas. Prices: US $40 k 30 min. , __k hour. Tel: +506 7198 9088.

Hours: 11 am to 7 pm. [URL]https://www.facebook.com/The-Green-Palace-1474284099547629/timeline[/URL].

They said if you want more time, that would depend on what you wanted to do. Then it would US $50.

1. [b]Pension Jet Set[/b], Avenida 11, between Calles 1 and 3, next door to VIP's Club/Taberna.
6 Masajistas. Prices: US$20 30 min. Tel: _____. Hours: Monday to Saturday 9 am to 10 pm.

I stopped by on my back to my hotel from checking out other places.

I said I would be back soon after I take my Viagra.

At the hotel took the pill and waited until I was ready.

Well It started to thunder and rain like hell.

I was ready, but had to wait until the rain stopped. It did not stop, so I put on my poncho and got wet.

There were about three or so chicas at around 4 pm. I took a Nica chica; bad, I forgot her name.

We had a good time. I got her off with a little DATY. She was happy, because not to many guys know how to do it right, so she said. I asked to pay me, she laughed.

I paid the c12 k for 30 minutes, plus c3 k for BBBJ.

The place is interesting because like the bar next door; Vips Club the bar is on the left and the rooms or pension is on the right.

But here in this bar there are three big half round windows looking into the Pension area.

You can see who walks in and out and some chicas walking around.

I had a beer, left and walked in next door.

1. [b]VIP's Club or Taberna VIP's 1[/b], Calle 3 and Avenida 11, NW corner, (Tico Bar).
15 Dancers. Prices: Cover charge, but you can exchange the ticket for a drink. There are a few seats at the bar and a few small tables and music. U$30 30 min. Tel: 2223-7110. Hours: Noon to Late, Open Sundays. Hints: Best time 7 pm to 10 pm. http://www.latintravelvip.com/san-jose/taverna-vips/

Vips Club not open until late, but I talked to the chica working there. She said about 15 chicas worked there.

The place looked nice and clean.

Like I said there are two doors, the bar on the left and the pension / rooms on the right.

Slight Changes.

The last one had the wrong date. It should have been 5-21.

Going back a few days, after a few weeks running around the country I needed a Massage.

Hotel Diana has a big banner that says "$20 Massage". Open 24 hours.

So, I thought I could use a massage with a happy finish.

I took a pill.

I laid down on my stomach, she started on my feet and worked her way up.

I dozed off. She said turn over, I did an had a big one, she covered it with a towel.

She did my front and then said finished. I asked no completo?, she was out the door.

So, what do I do? The closest place is Musa or Pension Malibu.

I have not been to Malibu, so I went there.

There was only one chica available, Candy.

We went upstairs, I paid my c12 k.

I said I like Candy. Got undressed, laid on the bed and asked if I could Chupar her, she said more money. Then I asked her to Chupar me sin condum, she said more money.

On goes the condum, I said Chupar now, she said more money.

So, she used her hand until I was ready to put it in.

I finished fast.

I think I should call her Salty.

I had gotten a massage in Jaco a few days earlier at a shop next to the Subway store by a curvy looking young Latina with a very pretty face. I was hoping for a Tug but l chickened out asking.

I randomly ventured into Hotel Diana a few days later and l was greeted by none other than the same curvy Latina!

This time l inquired about a Tug from the start and she proceeded to jerk me off twice in the 40 minute massage, l was a horny teenager. She was very sexy. I was less experienced in those days so l didn't inquire about any extras.

It was an experience l'll remember for a while and one of my first punting experiences.

Someone mentioned 360 and Monica pension. What third do you all suggest. I don't want to browse more than 3. Also. Is there a room fee at the MPs? If so, what's the average prices?

My GF and I sometimes like to go to strip clubs to check the dancers out and take them back to our hotel. Are the strip clubs in SJ safe to visit and are the girls allowed to leave? Is there a bar fine to pay?

Thanks much.

To the next-to-last poster: Calling Mónica's a 'massage parlor' is like spraying perfume on a hog. It is a straight-up, flat-out *****house. There is no 'room fee' as the room is included in the price. Last I heard the price for an hour of sex was 20,000 colones.

To Jimmy Di: I would say that the strip clubs are safe to visit in terms of nothing bad will happen to you while you are in the club. Some of them are in dangerous neighborhoods. And, what you propose to do by bringing a GF there is very uncommon, will be considered strange, and might make you a target. You're going to want to be extra careful when leaving the clubs, and may want to have a driver wait for you. I am thinking from your posts that you can afford this, and it would be good insurance.

Whether the dancers can leave depends on the individual clubs, and I can't speak to the bar fines. Very few of these women will speak any English, by the way. Don't know if that's an issue for you or not.

In Thailand and the Philippines, it's somewhat normal, but I can see that in some places, ie: San Jose, maybe not so. Also, the Spanish language part of it is not a problem.

Visited Relax MP on Calle 11 between avenidas 8 and 10. Directly opposite of the Idem Bar which is on the other side of the street. Somehow hidden entrance but showing a visible Abierto sign. You enter and a few pretty smiling girls surround you. On Friday evening around 5 pm 4 not too slim girls but all pretty. Today Saturday around 3 or 4 pm found one of them perfect, slim, 10. Name is Sophia. Had only half hour time, 13 k. Left very happy.

Open on Sundays as well.

Girl shows you to the upper floor where you pay her. Didn't use the shower on the floor. Rooms ok, look quite clean. No shower in the room.

Would recommend.

Will be visiting in near future, could someone suggest some bars, pensions or parlors that are open on Sundays.

Pretty much all of the venues are open on Sundays.

Visited ayer: ubicacion 125 mt norte del plaza calle 92 av 17.

20 media hora.

28 hora.

5 chicas all open to extras for tips.

Three men entered and went straight to rooms with women while I was at the front desk attempting to negotiate a better hourly rate.

After I got Andrea in a room I overheard from an adjacent room the negotiations for one of the others was asking 80 mil colones saying she was elite and knew how to please men.

Non GFE, full-service from Andrea was 20 on top of the house fee. It was unremarkable and unenthusiastic but got the job done.

Honestly I was glad she didn't go over the top with shrills of pleasure like we heard from another room while she was blowing me (covered).

Final recommendation: never returning here.

Just as in the map description, a guard at the entrance across from Machu Picchu restaurant buzzes you upstairs.

I was quoted house fee and service prices as follows:

16 media hora.

20 hora.

3 girls to choose from. Two flaquitas were slender and tall so I choose the short and youthful Amanda for her very large and firm breasts, soon found her pierced nipples +1.

Aside from her breasts, it is of note that she was not timid about open mouth kissing.

I fixed the location on the Map.

[QUOTE=PassportFirst;2102900]Visited ayer: ubicacion 125 mt norte del plaza calle 92 av 17.

20 media hora.

28 hora.

5 chicas all open to extras for tips.

Three men entered and went straight to rooms with women while I was at the front desk attempting to negotiate a better hourly rate.

After I got Andrea in a room I overheard from an adjacent room the negotiations for one of the others was asking 80 mil colones saying she was elite and knew how to please men.

Non GFE, full-service from Andrea was 20 on top of the house fee. It was unremarkable and unenthusiastic but got the job done.

Honestly I was glad she didn't go over the top with shrills of pleasure like we heard from another room while she was blowing me (covered).

Final recommendation: never returning here.[/QUOTE]

Take 40 bucks, leave with no sperm. Seriously those chicks in there are young and hot. 21 and maybe 25. And I was fine! Make it a stop on your trip.

It's on the bad side of town, in the bad side of town. That is, If a bad side of town had a side of itself that was also badder, then this place is smack dab in the middle of it.

But for all your courage you get.

Young pretty girls, I think I saw 1 over 25. One.

And one of those pretty girls told me that she'd be at the Sportsmen's Lounge Later on that night, and that she goes certain days a week.

So for $40 bucks I got with what some will pay $60-100+ for.

But its all about your comfort level. It's not for the scared or worried.

But it IS for the fleet of foot!

Don't. Just don't.

That place is a dump.

5 years ago I would have stayed there all day.

Young girls, lined up in lingerie and bikinis, offering massages and onsite steam room.

Ah the memories.

Now?

It could be called "Tim Burton's New Fantasy".

4-5 Chicks sitting on folding chairs, talking to 4-5 dudes (boyfriends) sitting on folding chairs.

The carpet / floor ripped up- bare ass half glue / half concrete floor.

Everybody fully dressed, maybe even provocatively dressed, couldn't tell, they were disinterested and in deep conversation with their boyfriends?

And just a feeling that if you go into that back room for any reason.

They will never find your body.

There was no fing way I was going through those black glass doors.

Not for a million dollars cash.

Sportsman lodge. Had about 15 girls at 3 pm. The most I have seen.

Pulled a cute new college student and had fun with her.

Stopped in several times the last few day. The number of girls seems to be about 1/2 of what I have experienced the last few years.

4 girls no customers.

The girls were ok. Just couldn't find one I felt good about so I left.

So that there is only 1 map that is updated as a place opens or closes?

Doesn't google allow you to make changes to google maps.

If so then we could always have a current map if people would update places as they opened and closed.

Had a thin hot girl there AR noon today. I enjoyed even though her skills were not so good.

Will be at the Taormina this Wednesday. Looking forward to providing info for my fellow mongers. The map looks like it will be quite helpful.

Does anyone know if the Peluqeria Bikini listed on The Map at Ave 10 and Calle 12 is still there? Topless haircut is kind of a fantasy for me.

I tried stopping by the area back when I was brand new to the country and couldn't find it.

Trip Report on some Costa Rica pensions. While I didn't come here for fun, I really just came here to escape my life in the states for a minute; I did manage to scoot around after locking myself up in my room for hours. I eventually, did get bored, and headed outside. Even with it being rainy season, it was nice to get out and see some of the old haunts.

Costa Rica has been hit hard by the pandemic, but there is still some action to be found for the walking dudes who like pensions.

Things have changed. I didn't get the chance to visit most of the places on this Google map but I do have the following updates. [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1CHIO2caAySeHsmGQQhMUsX2N_4U&ll=9.927165156838537%2C-84.07461880229835&z=18.[/URL] Guys if I violate some kind of tos with this link, it's not my intention, so please scrap it or hide it at your discretion.

Muses is gone! Gone! Poor Muses! Press F to pay respects. THAT was my reasoning for booking the hotel I did, as it would place me across the street from muses. I did that one time when I was younger and it felt like I found a cheat code. The girls where always cycling in and out, a day staff and a night staff, and I was less than 500 ft away. Man that felt like I had cracked the code and broke reality somewhere, somehow. THAT was my stomping ground, but the last time I was here was like 2017-2018.

My thing was stay at the Dunn inn, have breakfast, take an immediate walk up the hill to muses, THEN think about what I wanted to do with the rest of that day. And then when the day was over, If I had enough steam left in me, I would visit muses again and 9 pm for a nightcap. I feel like a proud chump saying this, but I salute you muses and I mourn your loss. It was like a piece of me is gone or I feel it missing every. Time. I walk by it and see the for rent sign in the window. Every time.

New developments! There are 2 new pensions not on the map right by Muses. On Calle 3 by Avenida 7 and between 7 and 9 Like the others now in Costa Rica, they are small, hole in the walls, and the chicas want business. I was on my way back from 360 when they tried to wrestle me in. The ones trying to get me in were classic middle age chicas (my thing), and the second one was little with only two girls but one was the kind I really liked.

Jet set 70 E has a new name. I didn't pay attention to what it is. The women are down to about 4-5 mostly older ladies but with sometimes one or 2 26-30 year olds. I recognized some faced and they recognized me. If you like them' hot, young, and thin, this may not be your bag. But the ladies here are still up for action. If you like getting your dick sucked like it has the antidote and the decor doesn't scare you away (very bare bones), then go in and ask for Elena and prepare to have to punch yourself in the stomach for an hour and afterwards, you'll be trying to get your balls to come back down out of your stomach. I like older spanish women. Beware. Some of the older women in here eat ass and lick balls WITHOUT you even asking for it. Pleasant surprise.

Krysis is in Crysis! This place only had 1 girl, for 1 hour only (about 25 mil), but the place was run down, and beaten up and there was only a older man and 1 girl inside with a door to the left that looked like it had 3 more college classes and the a final left before it could learn to lock.

Anita Jet set is gone, but it DID have chubby girls (another thing I'm into skinny pretty chicks are awesome, but they all look the same naked. Boring.).

Life-EX is gone, and is now lule pame umana. An infant psychology place?

The Taormina Looks like business as usual, with fewer girls than I remember and a little less hot. The Italian chef they had in back is gone. Either fired or quit so now the food tastes like applebees. I've been told several times you best bet is the spaghetti Bolognese, the prime rib, or the fish. If you get the sirloin, you'll still be chewing it when you go to bed that night. I guess all the action really is at Jaco. I only went there for the professional massages on the 3rd floor. Paola is a gem.

Hotel Little Havanna Has been carved up into 3 separate pieces. One cigar bar, one hotel by some other name, and a BAR sporting the name hotel little Havanna in what amounts to just the bar, the kitchen for food, maybe one our two rooms, and 1-2 bored looking chicas.

Penson 360 was the hit. It was just like old times, There were 7-10 girls everytime I walked in. All young. All cute. Various shapes and sizes. 5-7 were cute and to taste and 3 were hot. 360 is still rockin' but the to go price for half hours now is 16 mil, and they DO want to upcharge you 7 mil for extras, but hey, 1. I'm on vacation. 2. It ain't a cien.

Musas las Diosas del Placer. Up by the Auto mercado, is gone. Well. I didn't find it. Only shut buildings.

Again, it wasn't that kind of trip so I didn't step foot in the Del Rey. Also, my heart can only bear so much sadness. So I walked on by. I didn't even give it a second glance.

After that I toured Calle 11. I had to force myself to do it, cause I really wasn't here for that kind of vacation, but I had to know. Memories and all. So here's what I got.

La Mansion and Pension Erotica 3 are still going.

La Mansion had like 7 girls hanging out in their lobby looking for something to do. These are more your 5-6's local flavor type of girls (I love the local flavor). Again, everybody doing the 16 mil /25 mil thing, and charging 7 mil for extras.

Again, 1. I am on vacation and 2. It ain't a cien.

Pension Erotica 3 had 3 girls on tap and the one the answered the door was a chunky stunner. Blonde hair, black eyebrows, full hips, round everything, cute face. She wasn't my style, but she is somebody's 7. Again. For 16 mil, if your ready for your rubber to meet her road, you couldn't have gotten a better deal that 16 mil.

Note: The extras don't bother me because these girls are people and so am I. I don't know what bad circumstances got them into this job, and they don't know what bad circumstances got ME into visiting people working this kind of job. All jobs suck, so I try to be human and make my time with them fun. What is 7 mil after that? Also. I learned that I Liked taking hours. Sure it is crazy cost-effective to ball on a budget and orgasm yourself into a coma, but I find spending time with them (the human element once again) and just even spending 10 minutes talking, flirting, and understanding that we are both humans doing a perceived dark thing for reasons we both might not enjoy, buuuuttt. Since we're both here we might as well have fun.

Pension Illusions. Gone, or closed when I walked by. No sign at all. I went all the way up to a bar and had a beer and came back just to make sure I didn't miss it. I met the most beautiful combination of chunky and pretty (that's my thing) in illusions years ago. It will be missed.

Pension 69 is gone, closed when I walked by.

Pension Corte is Well, Alive, with about 3 girls, 1 young, and 2 middle aged. Due to my tastes there was still fun to be had. The 16 mil /25 mil 7 mil for extras rule is still in effect.

There is a new pension! Right across the street from Pension Corte is Pension Hotzguy (or Hatzguy)? Another local place where the women are local, the ticos are having beers and the women are 5-7's with your quirkiness making a 5 into a 7.

The bartender was cut and hit my quirk-bone, but I had already made my choice at Corte and was heading back.

Bar IDEM is nowhere to be seen. It looks like they moved the old skate park next to relax Acroos the street from it and into Bar IDEM's space. I could be wrong, but I didn't see any bar IDEM. Only locals lined up to go to "Skate park Teatro".

And Lastly on this Trip. Relax Massage is still in the house.

When I walked In there were only 2 girls, both black (as in dark skinned) While I wasn't taken aback, I was delightfully surprised. There were only 2 girls downstairs at the time and both were dark skinned, and I had just left the Cortex, so I was done with my evening. Just as I left a group of about 7-10 young guys showed up. Give'them hell young dudes.

So, Trip Report TLDR; I went on a Saturday at 3 pm.

Muses. Gone! From the 5/22 report till now 7/3 - Gone!

Two new pensions (names unknown) Right around the corner on C3 on the same block as Muses.

Jet Set. Has a new name (Same older women, they eating ass now. Times have changes.

Krysis. Is in crysis. Open, with 1 girl, and rickety door that is the Rudy of all portal accessories.

Hotel Little Havanna. Carved up into 3 parts. 1 cigar lounge. 1 hotel of a different name, and a bar with the name Hotel Little Havanna. The bar part has a kitchen and I think 2 rooms and 1-2 bored looking chicas hanging about.

The Taormina Looks like business as usual, with fewer girls than I remember and a little less hot. The Italian chef they had in back is gone. Tastes like applebees.

Pension 360 - gold (comparatively). Like the old days 7-10 girls, All young (none over 30) 5-7, several different tastes.

Anita Jet set. Gone.

Life-ex? Green mansion? - Gone. Infant psychology place now.

Way down Calle 11.

Pension La Mansion. Alive and well - 7 Local girls bored out of their mind. Take one? They want you to take another right after.

Pension Erotica 3 - Open - 3 girls. The one that opened the door was somebody's thicc barbie.

Pension Illusions. Closed.

Pension 69- Closed.

Pension Cortex. Open. 3 girls 1 young 2 middle aged. Local flavor 5-7's.

New pension. Hotzuys. Across the street from Pension Cortex. 3 girls. Local flavor. 5-7's.

Bar IDEM. Didn't see it. Saw a big theater skate park and a line. If that was it.

Pension relax. Open. 2 Black girls downstairs (unusual for my experience with relax but still welcome), I'm guessing the others were busy.

And that's that.

I will update the Map. But I need a few clearer locations on your first two.

Things have changed. I didn't get the chance to visit most of the places on this Google map but I do have the following updates.

Muses is gone! Gone! Poor Muses! Press F to pay respects. THAT was my reasoning for booking the hotel I did, as it would place me across the street from muses. I did that one time when I was younger and it felt like I found a cheat code. The girls where always cycling in and out, a day staff and a night staff, and I was less than 500 ft away. Man that felt like I had cracked the code and broke reality somewhere, somehow. THAT was my stomping ground, but the last time I was here was like 2017-2018..[/QUOTE]Very good Intel. Brings back many memories.

I'm trying to decide whether to return since the pandemic seems to change things quite a bit.

Sounds like good times can still be had just takes a lot longer to find.

If you have any other suggestions of any kind of love to hear.

Anyone have some suggestions for clubs and bars close to the gulch that are not full of working girls? La Concha de la Lora is my go to but looking for other ideas.

Guys now I need Your updates on the places you visit.

Are they still open? Worth going to if open now?

[QUOTE=MikeMark;2782875]Are they still open? Worth going to if open now?[/QUOTE]Never heard of Archemidas. But Tango India is open I hear.

This one was open yesterday.

300 meters east and 50 meters south from Migration Office. La Uruca. __ Chicas. Prices: _ Hours: 19:30 to 4 am. Tel: +506 8363 1414. [URL]https://www.facebook.com/tangoindiavip/[/URL].

Never heard of the other one.

Never heard of the other one.[/QUOTE]Tango India is great if you want to to drink a few beers and watch some very attractive ladies dance. If however you want to drink with one of the dancers or take things even farther, ring a whole lotta cash. It is very expensive.

And if you do go, take an Uber, not a taxi. The taxi driver will usually try to get a kick back from the club for bringing you there and very likely that cost will become part of your entrance fee.

Personally I like the Tico oriented nightclubs better. Pantera Rosa, LE Grillion (not sure it has reopened yet). They are not as upscale and can be a lot more hands on. Definitely a lot cheaper.

And try not to run a tab. Pay as you go to avoid any issues with the bill.

And never run a tab at a chica club anywhere in the world ever unless you go there all the time and are on good terms with everyone.

[QUOTE=MikeMark;2783203]Sorry had a brain Freeze. Alcazar not Archemdis.[/QUOTE]Ah. Okay. Alcazar is open, or has been recently anyway. And I would recommend it highly compared to Tango India. Take normal precautions with not running a tab, etc. But generally they seem to treat guests fairly, and it is much much more economical than Tango India (which is a clip joint).

[QUOTE=Pksyizzle;2715983]Trip Report on some Costa Rica pensions. While I didn't come here for fun, I really just came here to escape my life in the states for a minute; I did manage to scoot around after locking myself up in my room for hours. I eventually, did get bored, and headed outside. Even with it being rainy season, it was nice to get out and see some of the old haunts.

Muses is gone! Gone! Poor Muses! Press F to pay respects. THAT was my reasoning for booking the hotel I did, as it would place me across the street from muses. I did that one time when I was younger and it felt like I found a cheat code. The girls where always cycling in and out, a day staff and a night staff, and I was less than 500 ft away. Man that felt like I had cracked the code and broke reality somewhere, somehow. THAT was my stomping ground, but the last time I was here was like 2017-2018.

My thing was stay at the Dunn inn, have breakfast, take an immediate walk up the hill to muses, THEN think about what I wanted to do with the rest of that day. And then when the day was over, If I had enough steam left in me, I would visit muses again and 9 pm for a nightcap. I feel like a proud chump saying this, but I salute you muses and I mourn your loss. It was like a piece of me is gone or I feel it missing every. Time. I walk by it and see the for rent sign in the window. Every time.

New developments! There are 2 new pensions not on the map right by Muses. On Calle 3 by Avenida 7 and between 7 and 9 Like the others now in Costa Rica, they are small, hole in the walls, and the chicas want business. I was on my way back from 360 when they tried to wrestle me in. The ones trying to get me in were classic middle age chicas (my thing), and the second one was little with only two girls but one was the kind I really liked.

Jet set 70 E has a new name. I didn't pay attention to what it is. The women are down to about 4-5 mostly older ladies but with sometimes one or 2 26-30 year olds. I recognized some faced and they recognized me. If you like them' hot, young, and thin, this may not be your bag. But the ladies here are still up for action. If you like getting your dick sucked like it has the antidote and the decor doesn't scare you away (very bare bones), then go in and ask for Elena and prepare to have to punch yourself in the stomach for an hour and afterwards, you'll be trying to get your balls to come back down out of your stomach. I like older spanish women. Beware. Some of the older women in here eat ass and lick balls WITHOUT you even asking for it. Pleasant surprise.

Krysis is in Crysis! This place only had 1 girl, for 1 hour only (about 25 mil), but the place was run down, and beaten up and there was only a older man and 1 girl inside with a door to the left that looked like it had 3 more college classes and the a final left before it could learn to lock.

Anita Jet set is gone, but it DID have chubby girls (another thing I'm into skinny pretty chicks are awesome, but they all look the same naked. Boring.).

Life-EX is gone, and is now lule pame umana. An infant psychology place?

The Taormina Looks like business as usual, with fewer girls than I remember and a little less hot. The Italian chef they had in back is gone. Either fired or quit so now the food tastes like applebees. I've been told several times you best bet is the spaghetti Bolognese, the prime rib, or the fish. If you get the sirloin, you'll still be chewing it when you go to bed that night. I guess all the action really is at Jaco. I only went there for the professional massages on the 3rd floor. Paola is a gem.

Hotel Little Havanna Has been carved up into 3 separate pieces. One cigar bar, one hotel by some other name, and a BAR sporting the name hotel little Havanna in what amounts to just the bar, the kitchen for food, maybe one our two rooms, and 1-2 bored looking chicas.

Penson 360 was the hit. It was just like old times, There were 7-10 girls everytime I walked in. All young. All cute. Various shapes and sizes. 5-7 were cute and to taste and 3 were hot. 360 is still rockin' but the to go price for half hours now is 16 mil, and they DO want to upcharge you 7 mil for extras, but hey, 1. I'm on vacation. 2. It ain't a cien.

Musas las Diosas del Placer. Up by the Auto mercado, is gone. Well. I didn't find it. Only shut buildings.

Again, it wasn't that kind of trip so I didn't step foot in the Del Rey. Also, my heart can only bear so much sadness. So I walked on by. I didn't even give it a second glance.

After that I toured Calle 11. I had to force myself to do it, cause I really wasn't here for that kind of vacation, but I had to know. Memories and all. So here's what I got.

La Mansion and Pension Erotica 3 are still going.

La Mansion had like 7 girls hanging out in their lobby looking for something to do. These are more your 5-6's local flavor type of girls (I love the local flavor). Again, everybody doing the 16 mil /25 mil thing, and charging 7 mil for extras.

Again, 1. I am on vacation and 2. It ain't a cien.

Pension Erotica 3 had 3 girls on tap and the one the answered the door was a chunky stunner. Blonde hair, black eyebrows, full hips, round everything, cute face. She wasn't my style, but she is somebody's 7. Again. For 16 mil, if your ready for your rubber to meet her road, you couldn't have gotten a better deal that 16 mil.

Note: The extras don't bother me because these girls are people and so am I. I don't know what bad circumstances got them into this job, and they don't know what bad circumstances got ME into visiting people working this kind of job. All jobs suck, so I try to be human and make my time with them fun. What is 7 mil after that? Also. I learned that I Liked taking hours. Sure it is crazy cost-effective to ball on a budget and orgasm yourself into a coma, but I find spending time with them (the human element once again) and just even spending 10 minutes talking, flirting, and understanding that we are both humans doing a perceived dark thing for reasons we both might not enjoy, buuuuttt. Since we're both here we might as well have fun.

Pension Illusions. Gone, or closed when I walked by. No sign at all. I went all the way up to a bar and had a beer and came back just to make sure I didn't miss it. I met the most beautiful combination of chunky and pretty (that's my thing) in illusions years ago. It will be missed.

Pension 69 is gone, closed when I walked by.

Pension Corte is Well, Alive, with about 3 girls, 1 young, and 2 middle aged. Due to my tastes there was still fun to be had. The 16 mil /25 mil 7 mil for extras rule is still in effect.

There is a new pension! Right across the street from Pension Corte is Pension Hotzguy (or Hatzguy)? Another local place where the women are local, the ticos are having beers and the women are 5-7's with your quirkiness making a 5 into a 7.

The bartender was cut and hit my quirk-bone, but I had already made my choice at Corte and was heading back.

Bar IDEM is nowhere to be seen. It looks like they moved the old skate park next to relax Acroos the street from it and into Bar IDEM's space. I could be wrong, but I didn't see any bar IDEM. Only locals lined up to go to "Skate park Teatro".

And Lastly on this Trip. Relax Massage is still in the house.

When I walked In there were only 2 girls, both black (as in dark skinned) While I wasn't taken aback, I was delightfully surprised. There were only 2 girls downstairs at the time and both were dark skinned, and I had just left the Cortex, so I was done with my evening. Just as I left a group of about 7-10 young guys showed up. Give'them hell young dudes.

So, Trip Report TLDR; I went on a Saturday at 3 pm.

Muses. Gone! From the 5/22 report till now 7/3 - Gone!

Two new pensions (names unknown) Right around the corner on C3 on the same block as Muses.

Jet Set. Has a new name (Same older women, they eating ass now. Times have changes.

Krysis. Is in crysis. Open, with 1 girl, and rickety door that is the Rudy of all portal accessories.

Hotel Little Havanna. Carved up into 3 parts. 1 cigar lounge. 1 hotel of a different name, and a bar with the name Hotel Little Havanna. The bar part has a kitchen and I think 2 rooms and 1-2 bored looking chicas hanging about.

The Taormina Looks like business as usual, with fewer girls than I remember and a little less hot. The Italian chef they had in back is gone. Tastes like applebees.

Pension 360 - gold (comparatively). Like the old days 7-10 girls, All young (none over 30) 5-7, several different tastes.

Anita Jet set. Gone.

Life-ex? Green mansion? - Gone. Infant psychology place now.

Way down Calle 11.

Pension La Mansion. Alive and well - 7 Local girls bored out of their mind. Take one? They want you to take another right after.

Pension Erotica 3 - Open - 3 girls. The one that opened the door was somebody's thicc barbie.

Pension Illusions. Closed.

Pension 69- Closed.

Pension Cortex. Open. 3 girls 1 young 2 middle aged. Local flavor 5-7's.

New pension. Hotzuys. Across the street from Pension Cortex. 3 girls. Local flavor. 5-7's.

Bar IDEM. Didn't see it. Saw a big theater skate park and a line. If that was it.

Pension relax. Open. 2 Black girls downstairs (unusual for my experience with relax but still welcome), I'm guessing the others were busy.

And that's that.[/QUOTE]Great report fella. Thanks. When you say "16 mil" how much USD is that?

[QUOTE=Anzac;2784545]Great report fella. Thanks. When you say "16 mil" how much USD is that?[/QUOTE]16 mil is $28.

I wonder if anyone still goes to Bar Poas. It used to be a cool gringo and some ticos hangout. Mostly older expats and older former Del Rey girls, some of whom were fairly well kept and liked to party for much less.

[QUOTE=Anzac;2784683]Thanks for the reply.[/QUOTE]You are welcome. There are some good and free apps for your phone to convert currencies. You can also do a simple math in your head for approximate conversions depending on the rate. If you take 30,000 Colones and drop the last three 0's and multiply by 2 you get $60 which is a bit over $53 based on today's rate but gives you an idea. I would however suggest an app.

[QUOTE=Zeos1;2783318]Ah. Okay. Alcazar is open, or has been recently anyway. And I would recommend it highly compared to Tango India. Take normal precautions with not running a tab, etc. But generally they seem to treat guests fairly, and it is much much more economical than Tango India (which is a clip joint).[/QUOTE]Extraordinarily good advice. Gringos running tabs in this place do so at their own risk of getting a bill that Elon Musk couldn't pay. I always pay cash every drink ordered. On another note, last year and several years before the Pandemic there was a Costa Rican Doorman / Bouncer / Jack of all trades who worked here and spoke fluent English after spending many years living in the Bronx. A ten dollar tip when he seated me always went a long way toward a. Getting a good seat, be. Getting your bar tab straight / not ripped off and see.

Here is the latest Update of the City.

Guys now I need Your updates on the places you visit.[/QUOTE]

Hello Fellow Mongers.

I am new to the Costa Rica scene but have been around in other parts of the world for a long time.

A month ago I was sent to San Jose for work for a week, kind of a last minute trip so I was not able to prepare.

I found [URL]https://www.tantrik-by-mary.com[/URL] and [URL]https://www.gaiaspacr.com/[/URL] and was able to visit both of them.

Both experiences were great and the pricing was good.

I just got word that I am going back to San Jose CR for a follow-up week.

I am looking around for similar services like Tantric by Mary and Gaia Spa. I will have either car or uber for transportation but will be in the Cariari area which is closer to the airport.

I am checking out [URL]https://linktr.ee/daraspa[/URL] which seems promising and is VERY close to the hotel.

Does anyone have any recommendations on other places to try for massage, nuru or tantra? Or erotic massage?

My internet searches often end up on sites that are full of trans or $300-$400 USD.

Thanks in advance.

Now I do! I know you said you liked both places, but if you had to put one first which would it be? Also, hope you will report on any new experiences.
