Again my friend who just came back from living there for 6 months, says the welcoming attitude of the Ticos in general is definitely waning. Its now F**K U let me see how much I can rip you for and why are you living in my country.
I've been to a lot of boards lately, some expat non-whore monger type and some related to whore mongering and I can tell you that most, for whatever reason, are filled with negative comments about the natives. It seems a lot of expats relocate to these third world countries and then do nothing but bitch about the native's attitude. Well, that attitude is deeply ingrained because a lot of it comes from culture so may as well either leave or stop bitching. It is like when someone foreign bitches to us about America, we are usually quick to say, if you don't like it, get the Phuck out.

Why go to C.R. and pay more than $80 esp. factoring in all the extra expenses?
Most will defend the extra expense as the cost associated with vacationing and partying with those who they connect with on this website.
I think the going rate around here at an Asian Massage Parlor is around 160 so I could go on a binge for 10 days and still only spend 1600 dollars by doing 1 a day. Something to think about. It isn't exactly the same, no where near it, since it is minus the beers and the bars, but still getting laid everyday.
