Jaco / Jaco Beach

[QUOTE=Manny51;2824733]Hey guys,

I am planning a trip to Cocal for sometime in early July. The last time I went to Cocal was 4-5 years ago, before COVID. And I always went in high season, never in the rainier months.

The flights I am looking at land at about 8 pm in SJO. I rented a car in the past, and think its an easy drive. I am trying to decide whether to drive to Jaco from the airport after dark, versus just sleeping at an airport hotel and renting the car the next morning. But then that would be wasting a night.

What is the drive like after dark?

Anyone familiar with driving the route in July? Do roads get washed out by rainstorms often?

Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]July is in rainy season, and sometimes there are problems on the roads. Totally unpredictable though. Rainy season is actually the majority of the year. Roughly April-May to November-December. But there can be lots of good weather too. Often the rain is thunderstorms. But sometimes soakers that last for a few days. Anyway driving at night rain or no rain is a gamble and if you land at 8 pm you may not get out of the airport right away. So even if it goes well you will be on the road by 9:30 say. I would wait till morning, but that's just me.

[QUOTE=John2526;2828746]Check out St. Maarten (the Dutch side). Several brothels within a few blocks of each other. Overwhelming number of Columbian and Dominican girls. $50 per half hour. The local language is English and USD is the common currency. Nice beaches. Hotels are cheap. Supposed to be great restaurants on the French side.

It's hard for me to get motivated to try anywhere else.

There's an active forum on SXM here.[/QUOTE]I would agree with this, although I highly doubt that its still 50. The only reason that I think that Jaco rates a little higher is that it is easier to get to. Unless you live in New York, Miami or Houston, going there turns a 1 stop flight into a 2 or 3 stop flight. But if you have never been there before, I would definitely recommend visiting there at least once.

[QUOTE=MikeMark;2803851]Spent 5 days in Jaco:

Scorecard took 3 mid 20's girls home from the Cocal 8's on my scale. Was very crowded Super Bowl Weekend. Seems like the girls have unionized. Everyone was asking $200 for 2 +/- hours MSOG GFE. Had one girl let me upgrade to BBFS for $50 extra. Suprisingly the town emptied out BEFORE Super Bowl Sunday. Saturday the Cocal was packed to the rafters. We ended up sitting in the back with the band. It was great as all the girls circulated back there eventually.

Did two massages at the 2nd floor place (Dreams or Aroma Spa? North of the cocal on beach side of the street. Very hot girls. Pricey but good massages also with girl named Heather and another Heidi?? Do not take the two girl upsell! Massage was $30 for both. HJ was $60, CBJ asked $100 gave $80, FS (did not partake) both asked $200 probably could have negotiated $150 didn't try. Both girls offered outcall and upgraded services. Both were from towns north of Jaco. Very pretty and young early to mid 20's.[/QUOTE]Hey Great post. Must have been a great 5 days. MSOG is a nice upgrade. I usually spend my time in San Jose and travel to places with girls from there but would love to go solo to Jaco some time Curious what the unionized prices were for Todo La Noche in Cocal when you were there recently. Thanks.

Hey all. Heading to jaco beach this weekend for a bachelor. I've read about the cocal. Our airbnb is a 5 minute walk away. Whats the rate these days for MSOG or many hours or all night?

Fellas,

Jsut returned from an 8-day jaunt to SJO / Jaco and wanted to share some observations.

Transportation. Used Shuttlebug (Vanessa) on several occasions (To / FR Jaco) and she is truly awesome. Her prices are very competitive with other services and her vehicle is late model and kept very clean. Not to mention, she is a sweetheart of a lady. Please treat her well.

Colones. Having been to CR several times, I thought it sensible to pre-order $700 of colones prior to arriving. This worked out quite well except for the fact that my bank (BofA) sold me a mixture of new currency and old. It seems CR upgraded their colones 18 months ago and nobody thought to tell BofA prior to selling them to me. I tried at 3-4 venues and nobody would accept. The crisis was averted as I went to a local bank (SJO) and they exchanged for me. However, it took some explaining as I did not have an account at the local bank.

Cocal. Lots of talent of all shapes, ages and sizes. I have been to Cocal several times and never knew there was a smaller bar adjacent to the restaurant (beach-side). Truth be told, I prefer this bar location better than the main bar adjacent to the pool area as it was quiet and away from the "hustle". I was able to get 3 S / Ts for $80-$100 each. Service ran from average to above average.

Oz Sports Bar. Spent some time at this sports bar as I was looking for a change-up. The drinks and service are quite good. Certainly has a different vibe than the other places in Jaco. A great place to hang out after picking up talent from the local areas.

I went to the Cocal for gambling and curious to see what the bars were like. Holy crap, must have been 5 + girls for every guy, every kind of girl, looks, every color, size and shape a mongers paradise. Couldn't walk a step without a hey babe, etc. Did not participant because frankly after 3 days with non pro and at my age (53) I was glad of the night off. But worth going just for sights.

Oh on the gambling played about 100 hands of Rummy (basically blackjack without the blackjack bonus, but with other payouts) I lost 50 $.

4 nights at Cocal and 1 night in San Jose. All the reports here were spot on about the girls, the bars and the overall vibe. I would like to point out one thing that nobody mentioned that there is a bus service from SJO to Jaco every hour for about $7 one-way. All we had to do is buy tkt online with pickup location "Puente Villa Bonita" which is less than 5 minutes taxi ride from SJO. On return from Jaco to SJO, the bus will stop right outside of the airport. I took the return and it took exactly 2 hrs from Jaco Central Station to Airport. If you are solo and light on luggage, this is the best option to get to Jaco from the airport. Easy $200 savings on round trip.

Just came back from Jaco and it was great.

I have never felt like a piece of meat before, and it was kinda fun.

The second I walked in, I was groped, tugged, and forced to grab by the girls there.

My airbnb didn't allow guest, but according to some of the girls, they said it wouldn't be a problem. They mentioned they can talk to the security guard. You can also rent a room for 40 at Cocal for the duration if you don't already have a place.

Most were asking for 200 but there is room to haggle. Snagged a couple between 100-150.

I would totally go back for a boys trip when the wives are away.

Hey everyone!

Been following this forum for a few years but this is my first post!

Taking my 3rd trip to Jaco this December (First solo trip though! I'm hearing a few reports that quite a few girls try to do business over the dating apps now rather than standing around in a bar all evening. Anyone know if there is any truth in this? If so, what apps are they using?

How were your previous trips? Any tips you can share?

Any tips you can share?[/QUOTE]Just a few general things to consider; all should have been previously reported on:

-Make sure where you're staying is guest friendly.

-The girls will start high and most will ultimately settle for lower, rather than " stand around all night". It's always a good idea to discuss what you're paying for so there are no surprises. NEVER PAY UPFRONT! You may also consider to ask her if she has any "extras"; which will cost more.

-Jaco is typically a safe place, though there are some sketchy types outside the gates who know there are gringos inside who have cash on them. Keep your whits and don't get so sloppy drunk that makes you a target.

-If you make a connection and take a girl to wherever you're staying, don't let your guard down to valuables in your room or the potential that a girl could slip something into your drink.

If you have specific questions, best to ask.

Just a few tips.
