[QUOTE=Pussy Stroker;1518630]The Famous Hotel Del Rey is a place to pick up girls, but you can't really have sex with them there unless you have a room. If you do have a room, HDR charges and additional $10 to bring them up.[/QUOTE]The Queens is a 50 foot walk across the street for a $10 short time room. If you go down the block by the AM / PM where the music store is there is another shithole notel right around the corner.
All I can say is San Jose is the Bomb!
Hahaha nice! Anyway you can elaborate on your experience? Thanks for putting up the pics but an account if your trip would be great. Which hotel did you stay at? Any great chicks? Any problems? Hope you had fun man. I'm looking forward to going a lot, I'm fact it is what gets me thru the day.
Thanks guys!
Hi guys,
First time posting here and preparing for a trip in a couple three weeks. I was wondering what the rules are regarding banking rules? Can you open an account for a few days or open a safe deposit box?
Thanks in advance,

PS, I did do a search with no luck.
[QUOTE=FourRings;1527630]the rules are regarding banking rules? Can you open an account for a few days or open a safe deposit box?[/QUOTE]Easy Answer NO.
They have something called SUGEF which is relative to SEC and banking oversight. They are fastidious and pain in th b**t for the "you must know your client" part of the deal.
You will need paperwork and references and it will take time to open an account.
Deposit box might be different. As a resident I did not have any problems opening one, but had to show cedula. So for foreigner might be ok with passport. Would suggest you limit your search to San Jose banks, as the banks in the smaller centers really do not have anything available.
Enjoy.

Your best bet is to try the private banks and not the national ones. BAC or Scotia is where I would start, there are some others as well.

Hi guys,
So I am in a pretty bad predicament. I was suppose to go to Panama city for 5 days, but because of semana santa, I'm stuck in San Jose until Saturday and my trip to Panama is cut down to 2. 5 days. I didn't know that everything was closed (all buses) for Thursday and Friday for semana santa. My transit visa was only good for 12 hours, which means it will be a couple of days expired when I try to exit for Panama. I should have looked more closely at the visa, because my previous trip here before also said 12 on it, but it had "dia" circled versus this one says 12h. What kind of issues and problems and fines will I be looking at? What are my solutions? Also, the ticabus leaves here at 12:00pm on Saturday and my return ticket leaves Panama city at 11:00pm, which means I will on all technicality be out of the country for more than 72 hours if I get to the border by 6:00pm Saturday and get back to the border by Wednesday morning at around 10:00am. I'm on assignment in Honduras for a few months and have to get back by April 30th.
Regardless, anyone know if Hotel Little Havanna or New Fantasy or any of the other massage parlors will be open for Friday? I might as well make the most of my time here.
Thanks for any and all help.
ThomKatt. I don't think I would worry too much about leaving the country. They are not going to make you stay. I have never heard of a 12 hour visa. There is no rule saying you have to be out of the country for 72 hours. You can come back the same day if you like. The 72 hour rule is only for declaration of customs and only applies if you are going to Panama and bring goods back into the country. Hotel Little Havana, doesn't exist anymore. It was split into and 2 separate businesses were created, the Zona II and Scores. All will be open but slow. Everyone is at the beach in Jaco. This is where all of my clients and working ladies are this week. Pm me if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your reply and information. I think the 72 hour visa applies for renewals. I don't think it really applies to me since I'm just in transit to Panama and back to honduras. I'm a little worried, but I think I can explain that everything was shut down so it wasn't possible to get out of the country within the 12 hour time period. I'm sad that HLH doesn't exist. It was a great place. I'm probably going to just check out a few places early Saturday morning before my bus leaves at noon.
Thanks again
The 72 hour rule only applies to bringing purchased products back into the country. Not a bad deal that the HLH split. Now you have 2 well established venues instead of one. Jimmy at the Zona II and Jeff at Scores, (formally HLH) both do a wonderful job. You will still find action on Saturday and the buses will be running as normal. Tell them the Bigg Dogg sent you if you see Jimmy and Jeff.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in San Jose. It was only two blocks from the Hotel Del Rey, the rooms were big and modern with a clean King Bed. The price was about $85.00 USD so it is not the cheapest place but it made my stay great. The food in the hotel was good as well. FYI. The holiday Inn is behind the Del Rey on the other side of the park.

[QUOTE=Isc55;1562006]Is the hotel girl friendly?[/QUOTE]The Holiday Inn charges a significant chica fee and should be avoided.
[QUOTE=Qualude;1562050]The Holiday Inn charges a significant chica fee and should be avoided.[/QUOTE]I only use the H. I if I am with my favorita. Make the reservation for 2 people and register your girl at the desk and you won't have a chica fee. You will have to pay 20 or 30 dollars to bring a different girl up to the room.
