Are there any hotels near the San Jose airport where I can entertain a young lady without causing problems? My flight gets in late and I'm only in San Jose for one night. Thinking about staying near the airport rather than the Gulch.
Also, I've been looking at personal ads on Skokka and Wilas. Are the Ticas who advertise there usually a solid bet? Most of the Ticas are young, in their early, early 20s. Any issues engaging with a 21 year old? Are they usually professional, dependable and fun? I'm in my late 50s. Any other sites I should check?
Thanks
I usually stay at the Marriott Hacienda Belen (

Been there many times and never an issue, even in the middle of the night. I have even taken them to the nice bar downstairs and all good. Now, the families tend to give you a look, but no one else cares.
As for the age thing. It is surely an "it depends" think. I have had girls that are young that are fun, attentive, english speaking and wonderful. And of course, the pure opposite. So, it will always be an it depends. And also, everyone has a different perspective so what is great for one person may not be for another even if they seem to be looking for the same thing. But, in the end, I have been really lucky over the years to not have any bad issues.
Also, I have had some luck actually on instagram. I started with girls that are connected to things like the Orange Bar and Cocal, then went wider from there. There are also some on Facebook which is a fun get as well. The only app I used there to any success is Tinder. It worked well and found a few girls I met on Instagram on that app as well. So they cross over.
