I usually average about $120-150 per day. But like others have said, YMWV. I'm not one to have three rounds a day that often these days. Most trips I "wife" up with a favorita for 4 or 5 days and only go trying new girls 3 or 4 days. Some days I'll hit the HLH for an afternoon session then hit the HDR and KL late in the evening to go fishing.
Some things you can try to save cash is to stock up your room with food and booze when you arrive. At the airport, you can buy up to 10 bottles of liquor at duty free in the baggage area and be able to take it with you into San Jose. That's a huge savings. A 40 of Bacardi White was only like $10 last time I was there. And there's a Walmart (Mas X Menos) just a couple of blocks SE from the HDR where you can buy all sorts of food/snacks/booze.
I also tend not to hit the bars until pretty late... after 10:00pm most nights. Go too early and you'll just spend more on booze, get drunk, spend more on women... etc. LOL. A good Costa Rican day for me is breakfast at the hotel, maybe some reading or surfing in the morning over coffee, then a walk around town ending at the HLH for a few beers and a 30 min session with one the girls, then back to the hotel for an afternoon siesta, awake in time for a nice dinner somewhere and finally doing the stroll to the SL, HDR and KL.
Once you get to know the place a little bit and maybe get to know a favorita or two, you can start venturing out of the gulch, where it's a whole lot cheaper. I've had nights at some places in other areas of San Jose where I spent less then $40 on tapas (local snacks/finger foods), booze for 3 or 4 people and taxi. All depends on your comfort level.
