I've only been out of the country mongering to CR and never thought of this perspective but this is pretty true. But you could say the same for places like DR even though its cheaper and or Colombia even though its far more dangerous?

I checked in around 5 pm. OMG, blow my mind! There were dozens of gorgeous women all over the floor- around the lobby, at the tables, in the bars, restaurant, everywhere. And I don't know what other members have been reporting but 4 out of 5 were stunning. I showered up and head straight back down. I only had the one night.
I started off rather gingerly since it was my first time here and didn't know how things worked here. For reference, I do most of my holidays in Asia, so I'm more than familiar with Bangkok, Philippines, Jakarta, Cambodia, etc etc.
So I head to the bar counter, ordered a drink and then walked around a bit. I really didn't need to worry about anything. Just made eye contact and smiled at one that caught my interest. They'll approach you and make small talk for a minute before asking you to take them up to the room and how much it'll cost. All very straightforward. I made full use of the one night. I took the first girl up, she showered for a couple of minutes and then straight into bed. And she was super active and generous. No starfish action here. Chatty, sexy, did anything I asked for. No rush. She was fine taking a break mid way for me to catch my breath so I could make it last longer. Chatted and joked around. Unlike Bangkok girls who will just be on their phones if there's a break between shots.
I had the best night of all the naughty nights I've had anywhere else in the world! The women are friendly and sexy. Most of them speak english and the ones that did not were quite happy making an effort with apps. I don't speak any spanish beyond ordering food and "I don't speak spanish, do you speak english" and that was enough to get the conversation started.
What really blew my mind was the variety of women. There were light skinned, brown skinned, Caribbean flavour, tall and skinny, curvy, busty, sporty. Soooo much choice. I ended up trying out 3 since I had so much choice. I finished with one, took a break for a couple of hours and then headed down and chose another. And if you bumped into the last one you were with, they'd say Hello, chit chat, have a drink with you. I finished off around 1 am and there were still at least 50-60 women around. Amazing. There's nothing like this in Asia.
Cost were $100 USD for each. They weren't being difficult about money. One asked for $200 and I countered with $100 and they agreed immediately. That's pretty much Bangkok prices now for a good looking gogo girl or one of the hotter girls at the massage parlours.
The hotel knows the setup and it was all very straightforward. Girl goes with you to the front desk, shows them her ID, I sign a register acknowledging the guest. Oh, there was a guest fee for each girl. I can't remember how much- $15 or $20 or something like that for each one.
I like my women slim and 'modelly' and there was plenty of choice for me. I ended up trying a few different flavours- pale white, brown and Caribbean I didn't have a bad experience with any of them. All were great performers and friendly.
I had to check out around 6 am to get to my flight. And there were still a handful of girls around!
What an amazing night. If I had known, I would have booked at least two nights and spread myself out a bit. I can't wait to get back. I really would just fly in for the weekend and stay at the Taormina for two days and fly back out It was that good. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is close to Central America. I'm a good 8 hour flight away but I'd still make the effort to come back just for a couple nights in San Jose.
Hope this helps. Have fun in San Jose gents.
After a couple of days in San Jose, I came to the same thoughts as you. The Taormina is a pretty special place. Sadly there is little reason for me to visit Costa Rica and I came back complaining about San Jose. So I have to manufacture some sort of reason. I. e. Oh. I didn't get to visit the volcanos or the beach and try to be convincing.
I've played in 8 countries in east and southeast Asia, Mexico, Brazil, Dubai, Germany, Austria, US. I'm most familiar with the scenes in Tijuana, Germany and Hong Kong.
The closest analog I know of or have experience is Hong Kong Club in Tijuana Mexico. You have a hotel, bar, restaurant and a strip club. The biggest difference is that in the Taormina, the girls are just another patron. While in HK Tijuana, they are like independent contractors and must meet quotas to work there. They have to get customers to buy a certain amount of drinks and they have be at the club for certain hours to remain on the roster. At the same time, the management aggressively pressures you to buy drinks for yourself and whatever girl you are talking too. These two downward pressures creates quite a stressful environment for both the girls and patron, where there is a constant pressure to sell and buy. The customers are constantly being fleeced by both the girls and management whether you are in the club or in the hotel. In comparison The Taormina is so laid back and enjoyable compared to HK Tijuana without the downward pressure.
If there's another big factor I will say, it's the clientele. Tijuana is a border city with San Diego and then only 2 HR drive away from LOS AngelesThis makes it accessible to anyone with a few hundred bucks to blow. So when the warehouse clerk get's a paycheck, he and his warehouse buddies can drive across the border to spend a few hundred bucks and feel entitled. You can even take the Hong Kong shuttle from the border directly the club and back. Some guys never ever even go off the block. Fro the most part, you don't even need a passport to get into Mexico.
Costa Rica on the other hand, you have to be doing well in life to first have vacation time, plan a trip, get a passport, fly off to Costa Rica to indulge in the Taormina and navigate a foreign country. You're expending a pretty significant amount of mental overhead and hundreds a day in monetary overhead just to be in Costa Rica before you even start paying for the Ticas. This attracts a much different crowd and in turn this affects the Taormina treatment of us, the girls and their trust and treatment of you.
There are many places in Asia with a hotel restaurant and a mens spa. But they are not nearly the same as the Taormina.

One night in San Jose

Needing only 20 k miles to redeem a one way 6 hour flight this was a no brainer. I even upgrade to a business lie flat for an extra 15 k. I felt this was a bargain.
I am 100% convinced there is no better place to stay than the Taormina and I had a fabulous time. I never even bothered with pensions, strip clubs, or even the Sportsman's Lounge. I did walk up the street to the two chica bars, more so for curiosity than anything else. I have a couple of reports to give, but one topic I don't see mentioned is Spanish only vs English speaking girls.
For starters, I'm not Latin nor am I Caucasian, but I do speak elementary Spanish. Elementary Spanish, enough that I go to Tijuana and no problem communicating with the girls and doing what I do throughout the city. So my perspective might be a little unique, but I tend to think this would extend to any non Latin. You guys tell me if that's true or not after this.
What I quickly noticed is that ONLY English speaking girls would come up to me and usually these girls are annoying and are seasoned pros. You tend to seem them over multiple days. Some of them are still messaging me trying to get me to see them but I'm already long gone.
Spanish only girls never come up to me. Even if I smile at them, sit next to them, they will just ignore me until I start speaking Spanish to them and suddenly another avenue opens. I ended up pulling 5 girls, 4 of them were Spanish only girls. They were all amateurs, usually working a hair or nail salon. One of them was actually still wearing her salon frock! The 5th one. She may have been a semi pro, but yet she worked in a lash salon, was also studying and she did speak a little English. Enough to convince me at first, failed in the bedroom. Two of them were really embarrassed. On which one of them I think I was client her 4th client ever.
There were also other Spanish only girls that were obviously pros, but those girls wouldn't bother with me and I didn't bother with them.
So what's my take away?
Only English speaking girls will go up to non Latins. If you want a Spanish only speaking girl you got to make your move and more so, speak some Spanish and there's a high chance they are an amateur.
Let me know if this what you guys experience or if it's just me.
Lots of very seasoned long term professional working girls don't speak much English. They, and the customers, tend to just use translation apps. But perhaps the English speaking ones will be more willing to approach an obvious English speaking person. But the Spanish only ones are far from amateur. And some are less timid than others, I can't say I have noticed what your experience seemed to be.
They may have other jobs because the chances of steady income from sex work is low. And really the 100 dollars they get per session doesn't go far with cost of living in Costa Rica. Fill up your grocery cart at a supermarket, even a reasonably priced place, and you will be paying a couple of hundred dollars easily.
Anyway, if you were in Taormina the stories about it being the 4th time or whatever are mostly just stories. They know what stories sell, but in any case if they are renting their bodies they are not amateurs. Although the distinction is meaningless so you can think of them in whatever way you want.

Not my experience at all ever in Costa Rica. It's just you (for some strange reason).

English vs. Spanish only girls at the Taormina

Chicas are happy if you pay them in colones or dollars. They would choose colones all other things being equal, which saves them from having to change the dollars to colones. They quote in US dollars as most clients there use US dollars.

Hey ImTedKoppel,
I'd suggest staying at the Taormina. It's convenient and there are lots of Ticas available at almost all times of the day. I recently stayed there and I was surprised to find so many Ticas there at 10 am I tried a pension during the day once and was unimpressed. And I hear they're much worse now. Far better options are available at the Taormina during the day.
If you want a "cover story," just tell people you stayed at the Delta by Marriott San Jos Aurola, which is up the hill a few blocks from the Taormina. That way when you talk about things you saw around your hotel, they won't sound off to anyone who has been there. There's also ATMs at the very tall INS building three blocks from the Aurola. It has security guards around during the day, which makes it safer. I've heard airport ATMs have high fees.
If you're thinking about an Airbnb, be careful. Many are quite hostile to mongers, especially in area around the Taormina. Make sure to check the house rules. Some will outright say "absolutely no sex tourism allowed. " Many will require you to register all guests in advance, which can include submitting photos of their IDs. I recently stayed at one near the Sportsman and it said nothing about sex tourism in its house rules or anywhere else, but there were signs saying absolutely no prostitution once I got inside. Luckily I had "registered" the only Tica I see these days when I'm in Costa Rica. Even then, the woman that checked us in questioned me. I told her she was the one whose ID was submitted ahead of time and no more questions.
Best to be careful and not get a bad review from a host that will affect you ability to rent Airbnbs in the future.

San Jose Multiplaza Hotel
Visited San Jose after many years. Prices are higher. Found on milerotics options. Found each to be different then the photoshop images online. Got better luck on Tinder. Seems like all the girls on Tinder here are escorts. Give out thier whatsapp and then tell you they are escorts or Female Paid Companions. Asking for $100-$150 for an hour or $200 for two hours. One Shot and asking for extra for ubers. The hotel I was at had a bar and resturaunts so I asked to meet them there and then got a drink and walked up to my room. Security was tight and always watching for hookers trying to enter. They made each register and didn't allow you to bring a few a day. Thinking of Jaco or Taomirano but feel the quality in Costa Rica has changed. Didn't find a single one fit and one who would fit into a standard small or medium size dress. They were all like L or XL clothing ladies.

It always seemed like the major venues in San Jose and Jaco had what I call cartel pricing. It doesn't matter how few mongers there are relative to the number of girls. The girls are going to pressure each other to maintain the price level.
Your best bet was late at night when the place thinned out and the girl was looking at a nice, little payoff versus nada. Keep her away from what other girls remain and you will do better. There were also some smaller venues away from the major ones where the talent was less consistent, but not as rigid on price negotiations. At that point, it might not be worth the time to hunt.

I've talked to a couple of girls saying 250 was acceptable for an overnight. Looks like 250 is the deal to be had in SJ at the moment. Jaco. Haven't even checked there yet, I plan on getting round there while I'm down just to check out the scene.
50 mil is more like 100 US at the moment. At least most of the chicas will consider it close enough. Think the official rate was 515 this morning so $97 US per 50 mil colones. And with a commission for buying you probably will pay just very close to $100 US for 50 mil colones

Still looks like financing mongering in Costa Rica aint so cheap anymore. I will be down there for 3 weeks so I do plan on hitting up some other spots than san jose, like jaco and la fortuna. I just prefer to make a lump sum agreement so I don't have to worry about clock timers or anything. Helps to have a local and take her somewhere she don't live to help you with any cultural phenomena =P.

Women think their pussy is Gold, if you are stupid. They start out demanding at least double. Used to be the women wanted $100 for an hour at the Del Rey. I would never want to overnight with one of those smelly ass hoes, you can never trust them. They will take your wallet and sneak out the hotel room when you are fast asleep!

For a comparison. I picked up two ticas on Seeking for an entire weekend. They were in San Jose and took a bus to Jaco to meet me on Thursday afternoon. They stayed until Sunday morning and road back to SJO with me in my arranged ride. Cheap meals, fun times on the beach, even more fun in the bedroom whenever I (or they) were in the mood. For the entire time with me they each received $300 and were happy enough to stay in contact with me. I get fun sexy photos from them regularly and they have been eager to meet up again when I visit for $125-$150 for the entire evening.
I also have a regular I met on there that is $300 a week. Lunch w / Spanish Lesson. And 3 evenings a week. Every week I'm there. She's been my ride to / from the airport a number of times, taking me out shopping (Walmart / Food), and been with me on a number of trips.
There's a number of fantastic women on Seeking and as long as you treat them decently then you won't even be paying Taormina rates ($80-$140 an hour).
Hope that helps.
