I've been to both a lot, and like both CR and BA for different reasons. BA is great but for only a week, I'd probably pass. It is a haul down there and although you don't have to deal with time changes, it is just tiring to travel that far, plus you lose 2 days of your week just in the air. The prices are actually about the same, the ladies in BA have a more euro look in some cases, some look very similar to the ticas, all types down there.
BA is really a beautiful city above and beyond the chicas, it is a walking city with lots to do. The night life is very late, dinner is 11:00 or later, drinks after last until whatever hour you can handle. I see people my age (50's) out until early morning, how they go to work I don't know.
I would wait until I have 10 to 14 days at least to go to BA, you'll get to enjoy it more. CR is great for a week trip, and you'll get there in a few hours instead of an all day trip.
