Jaco / Jaco Beach

Anyone have any information on traveling by bus to jaco? Booked a flight to CR in January and would not prefer not to shell out $100 for a taxi to Jaco.

Checked Hotel Jaco on my dates and they were booked but I asked on their WhatsApp and they allowed "guests" for those interested. Diamante del Sol Does does as well but only after 10 pm. Otherwise it's a good spot to book if it's 2+ travelers.

Also during my trips to jaco the massage places during the day didn't have anyone interesting. The girls were. Not great.

Beyond that, any tips for places to book for solo travelers at jaco? Prefer a quiet place but close to Cocal.

What was cost for a room at the Jaco Hotel?

I'm planning to go to Jaco in July but don't won't to pay Cocal prices for a chica friendly hotel.[/QUOTE]Rates are on their web site.

Just be aware that the regular buses don't have A / C so it pays to get on early for a window seat. Once you get into Jaco proper, pay attention because there are two stops in town and you have to ding the bell or the driver will keep going. Heading back to San Jose, the bus station is on the edge of town and a long-ish walk but also a cheap cab ride.

Hope that helps.

[QUOTE=Xdhola777;2866756]I'm looking to split time between SJ, & Jaco. It's been 10 or so years since I stayed in SJ. From what I found via search.

-AT&T works fine in both SJ & Jaco assuming the $10 international pass fee / day added. Anyone had issues?

-Gyms / mongers hangout, Sportsmens or Taormina seem most abundant for like minded gents? Gym, both have a good one. 24 hours?

-Jaco hotels, seems a variety of places. What are the most affordable chica friendly places? Any monger hangouts in Jaco?

-Laundry service offered at hotels?

I am planning a few weeks with 3/4 days in Jaco with rest in SJ. Hoping January. Any other tips would be appreciated!

Thanks all![/QUOTE]I love the Sportsmens and am staying there early December. If you really need a gym, the Sportsmens is NOT the place. It is very lacking in equipment. I imagine it is open anytime though.

Can't speak to the gym at the Taormina. Have never seen it.

Does Hotel Jaco allow guests to bring guests into the room during the day?

Also I had a question about the Best Western. I've seen some contradicting reports. My girl and I are thinking of booking at the BW for various reasons, and will have a car.

If we pickup a girl in town and drive her into the resort ourselves, would that work? I know if the girls show up by themselves then they will not be allowed in. But what if I drive her in?

Thanks all.

[QUOTE=HardDrive;2868811]+1 on Hotel Jaco. Great location. Spacious rooms. Super pool area. And Quiet.

Only negatives. The bar / restaurant is pricey but a lot of good places to eat nearby.

Room rates really went up after the remodel.

But it is still my favorite place to stay in Jaco.[/QUOTE]

You can try sneak a girl into Best Western by car but if they notice then they will ask the guest to leave (and possibly you too! Seen it happen couple times.

Hey all, anyone around 12/31-1/20? I am staying at a guest friendly Airbnb. Being a newb to Jaco any pointers?

Cheers all!

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd be ok risking them not letting the girl in. But if we are also at risk of getting kicked out, that is not worth it. That is very helpful insight.

Looks like the better option is the pickup a girl at Cocal, and get a room there or nearby. Any suggestions for clean and safe places near Cocal? Cocal seems to be around $200 USD a day.

Can anyone speak to daytime action in jaco? I know night everything is at cocal, but what activities / prices exist during the day?

Also is it right that in general, women in Cocal are quoting $300-500 and that marketprice is $150?

And the prices are whatever you can negotiate at the Cocal. It is the marketplace. Nothing else in town really. Girls will ask whatever they think they might get at the time you ask. On a busy night with big spenders in the place they might not budge off of 200 or 250 or more for the high demand chicas, and sometimes later in the evening or during slower times might be open to less.

You could pick up a chica like at 7 or 8 in the evening, go fuck, then go out to dinner (on the monger of course) or listen to some live music or whatever you wanted to do. Then go back to the room and fuck again and go to sleep. Then one more fuck in the morning before the chica left for home. Is this kind of action no longer possible in Costa Rica for that price? At the time I was going the standard hourly rate was $100 per hour, but you could often get a chica for less in the daytime like maybe $50 for a quickie to around $70 for an hour. I only did toda del la noche with my favorites, and at $300 for the entire package with dinner or an inexpensive night out thrown in, I considered it a deal.

Daytime hunting in Jaco is limited. That said, most of the chicas are from out-of-town and the daytime is downtime for them. Get numbers in the evening then Whatsapp them during the day. Most will be amenable to some cheaper action than standard nighttime prices.

All were toda la noche. There were plenty of Colombians, Nicaraguans, Dominicans who enjoy a nice room and breakfast. I would pay some $50 to accompany me for sightseeing in my car and after return one more round before I took a nap and get ready for the night. Sometimes I keep them for another night for dinner and dancing at a local club. There was a nice French restaurant on top of a hill with nice views of the city. Not sure if it is still there. I took them to arenal hot springs for a dip ogled by locals seeing bazookas on a Colombian.

Will be making a trip next May and will report on current situation.

Jaco is definitely over hyped, if you are US based you are better off border towns or San Jose or in Tamarindo with dating scenes. Jaco is nothing but expensive "cheap" behaving place. Much different experience for mongers who wants to play it safe, and in more safer environment. Cocal is a definitely a place to avoid especially late in night after 11 pm as good ones don't come until 8 pm and bad ones remain after 10 pm. If you like she-males and like to tame the rough ones and play it rough with $150/ hour and $40/ room head to Jaco, in general this place is run-down and not a great place for mongering even worth spending time to look in expensive Costa Rica.

In 10 years of going to Jaco and Cocal, I've never pulled a girl from there. What I usually do is if the girl I like at Cocal is visiting the Cocal, I'll get her WhatsApp and arrange to meet her another day back in San Jose. I save at least $100 that way. My hotel of choice in Jaco is "Hotel South Beach"; a Hotel Del Rey run property that is girl friendly. Another act I've done is if I see a girl at Cocal that I've done before in San Jose, is to hit her up and see if she wants to come hang out at my hotel pool the next afternoon. Most girls will hop on some pool time, drinks at their tiki bar, some lunch and relaxing before they go back to the grind of Cocal later that night. A good majority of the girls at Cocal come from San Jose for a night with the hopes of big cash. Guess I'm just not a Cocal kinda guy other than to eye the candy and explore cheaper options. Back in the day, you used to find a hot girl at the HDR and take her to Jaco for the night. Now, I'd only do that with a girl I've had before, so I know what I'm getting.
