After 30 years of visiting and 3 years living here, I really think SJ has changed but it is what you make of it. All mongers come to Gringo Gultch, go to the Rey or SL, pay a cien for chicas for 50 minutes, and bang the same workhorses like Luna (God bless her.) I simple go a little further, go to the pensiones and bars where there is not a Gringo in sight, and bang chicas 50 years younger than me for a third the cost of the Rey. Different experience completely. You encounter a different type of chica mentality. Get out and explore a little, and leave the sandals and cargo shorts at home.
Good advice. I couldn't agree more. I don't know when or if I'll get down to Costa Rica again, but if and/or when I do, I'm going to stick with the pensiones and girls I know from the past who are not scamming me. Del Rey and SL have become a pain in the ass. It's full of girls demanding cien who don't want to kiss or offer blowjobs without the condom. A lot of them can be negotiated down, but it's often lackluster. At the pensiones, it will often cost you less than half than what the del rey or SL cost, plus with tips bare back blowjobs and kisses are guaranteed.
