Jaco February 16-19 Trip

(1/4) > >>

Ken.Apples:
Greetings fellas, just got back from Jaco and would like to share my experiences with those that may be thinking about taking that trip. I was able to book a room at the Republik which is directly across from the Cocal. They have a nightclub on site, fairly spacious rooms, 2 pools and is completely guest friendly. Their rooms were $100 a night compared to the $200 the Cocal charges for the cheapest room on Fridays and Saturdays. I had not been to CR since New Years eve 2020 and quite a bit has changed. The Cocal pool bar now closes at 2:00 am and most other places close at 2:30 even on weekends and Le Loft nightclub on the corner is permanently closed. There is however a place that continues to 5am I had no knowledge of called the Back Room which is across the street on the same block as Orange Pub. All the chicas from Cocal that weren't taken overnight ended their night there during my visit. Talent was good, I saw Nicaraguans, Costa Ricans, a few Dominicans and a lot of Colombians but the prices are high compared to what I was spending in Sosua in November. All the women, even the unattractive ones tried to throw out $200 as a starting point but most would quickly counter with $150 when you don't take the bait.

 From what I was able to gather through conversations with fellow travelers the bargains are to be had in San Jose during the week and a lot of these women have their money grabs on weekends in Jaco and it seems like a lot are getting it. The monger demographics are also very different to Sosua because the majority seemed to be free spending dudes who don't have a problem paying the kind of money being asked. I had a great time and there were plenty of beautiful women to be had but be prepared to pay top dollar and the chica union seems to be strong because I personally was never able to get any of the ones I sessioned with to go below $150. The overnight prices I was quoted ranged from $350 all the way to $500.

I was in Rio last September and a session at Centaurus, which is the most expensive brothel in Rio was $600 reals  which converted to $120 US at the time. Still cheaper than the average being asked in Jaco and if you negotiated to meet outside the club it was less because then they don't have to pay the establishment out.

I don't mean to bash Jaco in any way and I know every place has its loyalists, I'm just merely pointing out what I saw and experienced. Again a great time can be had but just make sure you budget accordingly. The one positive is they have a very strict camera policy so all the YouTubers talking about Jaco will be in for a surprise, not to mention the shock to the wallets

Yep. That’s Costa Rica, and it’s been known for a long time that if you wanna play over there, you’re gonna pay. Costa Rica, like a lot of other monger spots, deals mostly in USD, so that’s a red flag right off the bat, lol.

Spots like these don’t become “hot spots” or get overrun, because the cost is too high for the average weekend warrior and casual monger.

Speaking of Centaurus and Brazil overall, there’s nothing cheap about it at all. Throw in the admission charge just to enter Centaurus, flights and accommodations, etc., and you’re out of pocket by a whole lot of dollars before you even begin.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷they look good so you still end up with money well spent despite the headaches. Bad food, and dodgy accommodations at certain price points is a headache at times, but still worth it. I’d deal with a headache in Brazil than the ease in DR because of the quality I like, and feel a DR 9 is just a7.5 in Brazil if we talking straight up P4P, not regular civilians. Kinda how some might not want to spend up there in price, in a smaller Caribbean island with limited p4p and have to drop $100 ona 6 or below due to limited time/options(you do what you do if you really want it)  everything is relative. A 8 will become a dime if there’s no other options and it’s established she’s the best looker(not the most beautiful woman ever) is how I feel with DR, as it’s a small country with 10-12million people going against countries with easily over 40 million people aka Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, etc…

I was in Costa Rica in July, I loved the casino and set up, especially with the outdoor pool. I will not monger jaco, as it’s definitely not in my budget of how I like to spend my time or miney. I do like it’s nearby but not in your face because my lady could sleep in and I step out maybe an hour or 2 later just to sight see, and there’s a beach. Can’t put that in other countries because it’s too spread out unless I’m near a P4P zone and I don’t like staying near parque llere and no beach. CTG is off the boards most of the time. Likely not revisiting Jaco, but the military guys I know like it due to safety so no issue getting approved for the trip oppose Tia Colombia or Brazil where entry would be non existent due to current safety concerns. I definitely would return with some friends, but on a solo P4P mission, I don’t think any country would entice me to spend like that. However I know guys who love it and I understand why. I don’t even try to sway them because as you said that’s just how CR operate

WT3:
Man Costa Rica was the spot in the early to mid 2000s. You don't have to worry about it being overrun the real mongers already been there done that. Back when San Jose was the main spot.

I was in San Jose, CR for superbowl weekend. Chicas here are little more experienced in the negotiation, speak English (for the most part), and deal with alot of rookies who " heard the stories." Because of this, Chicas throw out wild ass numbers because they get enough suckers to agree to it. I got a quote for $350 from a chica I didnt even like. Said we can stay together all day and do what i want. She was sloppy drunk so I didnt even counter. Most common quote I got was $150. I counter at 40k colones 7/10 will take it, the other 3/10 will take 50k Colones. An older dude I met out there has a max of 20k Colones or $40. Most, immediately walked away, but he eventually left with someone. He said this is his number because that's what he pays in the local "casas."
