Hi Guys. I've been travelling around Central America and Cuba for the last 6 weeks with some non Mongering friends. It looks lime I'm gonna have 5 days to kill before I have to be in LA so I'm considering a last minute trip to CR. problem is I know nothing of mongering in this part of the world. I do however have 15 trips to Thailand and a couple to PI under my belt so I'm not a newbie to P4P. I'm currently in Belize where Internet access is consistently inconsistent and I'm going to Guatemala tomorrow where it will be worse. This means researching stuff on your excellent board is difficult. Any suggestions on where to stay and few newbie friendly places would be much appreciated. Hoping to get there on the 10th of June. Happy to buy a beer or two for anyone who is in town at the time and is willing to show me around.
In a nutshell. P4P revolves around the Hotel Del Rey in San Jose. There are other hotels which have chicas with the main being the Sportsmens Lodge. There are also plenty of massage parlors. Everything is located within a fairly small area and it is known as gringo gulch.
As to hotels:
http://www.sportsmenscr.com/ My favorite but it is sometimes difficult to get a room on short notice.
http://www.delreyhotel.com/ Hotel where most of the night action takes place.
http://hotellittlehavana.com/ Massage Parlor with hotel rooms also. Currently one of best values.
http://www.hotelamistad.com/ Hotel which has decent rates and is close to Sportsmens Lodge
http://www.monalisacr.com/ Newer hotel which was a Clarion. Not much action going on there.
http://www.hotelcastillo.biz/ Older hotel. Kinda run down but decent.
Take a look at the hotel websites. I would stay at Sportsmens for your first time. You will be able to meet up with somebody to give you the rundown on San Jose.
Enjoy
