I did the San Jose, Costa Rico thing 3 times. I didn't visit Jaco but I was not fond of everything being centralized to just the casino hotels in San Jose. On top of that (and of course no offense to the earlier poster because I do not know their wifey) but I was not too keen in being in a country where the "badder chicks" were imports (Colombians). Of course, almost ALL of the import Colombian chicks are in the game. Don't get me wrong, I have the Colombian chicks ranked as "1A" behind Brazil...with D.R. chicks right behind Brazilians and Colombians.
With the D.R., I can do Cabarete, Cofresi, Santiago, La Vega and Santo Domingo...plus I like the golf course out in Rio San Juan. Also, the D.R. is only a 95 minute flight from Miami (I am in DC). I miss Brazil dearly, but for cost, flight time, condo deals and overall cost WITH very good-looking chicas, the D.R. is my spot right now.
