27 year old first timer in CR.. Have been here for a week and already accumulated a nice roster of local beauties that dont hook and also some other connections that make the trip a little more enjoyable. I have an apartment in Escazu until February and anyone looking for a wingman or someone to go to clubs with send me a PM...... unless you're a Michigan Wolverines fan, then you can just go to hell.... Go Buckeyes!

I'm well aware that Escazu is not the reality of life in Costa Rica. The girls I have met seemed generally interested. A bartender, a Hooters Escazu, and a girl i met in the Multiplaza. Regardless of their intentions I just simply mentioned that I will be in Escazu for a few months and that if they wanted to meet up for a drink or dinner it would be my pleasure. I've been in contact with all 3 by text and met up with the girl from Hooters Saturday at a club. I understand most on this site aren't interested in places Escazu night clubs, i was just speaking in general. I did meet a Russian girl online who allegedly translates for realtors and skyped before I met her down here. She hasn't seen a dime from me but I've seen all the places on her where a dime could go...... My post was just for anyone who traveled alone looking to watch a game or get drinks around beautiful women. If you're 21 or 85 it doesn't matter to me, I just know it's safer to go in groups.

If you like music check out the Jazz Café in Escazu.

No sir I wasn't offended in the least. I definitely appreciate your opinion and concern. I have spent most of my evenings in SJ so I meant anyone looking for a wingman in Escazu or SJ.. I'll be here for awhile and want as many experiences as possible. I enjoy the vibe of SJ more than Escazu, just happened to find a very accommodating, safe, and affordable apartment up in Escazu that was still close enough to allow me to get free rides to SJ from my dentist

That counts me out.

I just moved to Miami, from the west coast

Staying at the Real Intercontinental in January. Where can I find Ticas closeby in Escazu? Trying to avoid pricey cabs back and forth to HDR. MPs, ******* etc.

You will find ticas (and ticos, too) all around you in Costa Rica. "Tico/Tica" is a nickname for Costa Ricans... not prostitute.

Assuming you mean ho's, forget it, the only place in Escazu is high priced, I used to live in Escazu and I learned to take the bus downtown, they come every 1/2 hour and is a fun part of the culture, plus it's less than a dollar round trip.

You can check out 360 and other places around Paseo Colon, at 55 I used to walk to the brothels there (Oasis was my favorite way back when, $35.00 for 1 hour!) then take a cab home, not too pricey one way for a day of exercise and poonage...

Very good, Blue Devil, very good!

Lets see 'Dude:

You are staying in a very geographically undesirable area of the Central Valley (I formerly stayed at Pico Blanco in San Antonio de Escazu - which was even worse) - at least as far as proximity to downtow/the gulch

You are staying at a hotel that likely does not welcome "guests" - or in fact outright bans them (Lets face it - its not on the CRT approved list )

You are asking about "TICAS" - a term you are using to mean prostitute, when in fact it simply means Costa Rican female

You want closer action - you are in the wrong place for it.

I think its time to surrender and say:

"I don't know what I'm doing and trying to repair the Titanic, with a patch kit - or maybe by rearrainging the deck chairs"

Look, busting your balls a little; and my first few trips I did not know what I know at trip 45 - so I get it - but your post was just so clueless and lacking in any research that its like waiving a red flag in front of a bull.

You are not gonna create a red light district (like in Escazu) where one does not exist - good rest's, bars, sure - pu*sy.....not so much

For now, plan to stay where you are and visit the MP's, venues, that will provide you what you are seeing - I think you need to do some research, but if you like bars, the Delrey is world famour - I think the Sportsmans is better - I like Relax, as well as Zona II as far as massage parlors.

While none of these are really close to Escazu, the cab ride - avoid high traffic times of day - will not kill you, time wise or money wise. Next time stay at a place more suited to your activities, and bank the frequent stay points for another location Finally while you can't polish a turd, you can get some value and enjoyment out of where you are staying; its a simple cab ride away

Sorry, new to the posting on the board. I have been to SJ(I go for work so they pick the hotel) once before, stayed closer to downtown area. Hit an MP and HDR and took a pair back to my hotel. Now the company selected the IC out in Escazu, so was curious if it was worth venturing out near hotel for a quick MP visit or just suck up cab cost for the HDR. Again, sorry for the sh!tty first post, I will get better.

Escazu Update?

A buddy of mine is staying in Escazu next month and told me that there are clubs and pick-up bars in Escazu. This was news to me.

I wanted to reach out to the helpful punters here and ask if someone can offer any current info; MPs, bars, freelancer venues (a la Del Rey).

Lastly........ any recommendations for mid-priced hotels (USD $50 - $100).

Thanks in advance.
