Calm down, get that first nut off at a secure MP such as Relax, then with that under your belt you will be better off facing HDR or Jaco with more confidence.

Sage advice...

Personally, I like Monicas with the in room showers.

La Amistad is your place in San Jose. Don't even question it. Food is great and bringing chicas back there is easy and better feel. But ... I never tell a newbie not to stay at Del Rey first time. We all have. Jaco/Cocal is crazy fees - but yes - better hotties.. Stay at La Amistad for the time you are talking and get a free free ride to Jaco.. Reading lots of thieves in Jaco so lock your shit and don't expect the GFE experience there unless you pay 150 plus. Give us a good report !!!

Don't pay 100 dollars at Del rey. Always negotiate. At most 80. Paying more does not make the experience better. Also, stand your ground in Jaco.

Last year in Jaco at Cocal they were hitting us for $200 to start. Guess they didn't realize most in our group had been there once a year for the last 10 years. Stick to your guns but be nice about it. They will come down quickly. If there is one you like that starts at 200 dont be afraid to buy a drink and talk. If you are nice about it you can usually get them down to the 80-100 you should be around.

$200 mothafuka! They are asking because someone is paying!

Saw so many stupid guys down there just throwing money around like it doesn't matter. The mindset has changed in Jaco a lot in 10 years, but it is still fun.
