Good information. Thank you.
I got VIP access and spent a couple days reading lots of old posts. There is some really good stuff here. I'm very appreciative. Good stuff. Thank you all.
It looks like I'm probably going to be more into the MP scene than shopping for local talent at SL. A post about experienced Ticas turning a long time into a short time and stealing from the mini bar struck home. I just might stick to Monica's, 360 and Relax, if things are still like that massive post. Paolo sounds interesting. I've always liked a cute chick in glasses, but I've always liked the smart ones. I loved the idea of negotiating in USD and paying in Colons
Question: a two mile walk from SL to Monica's is cool. I'd like to see a little of SJ. But is there any (good) MP closer to SL? Looking for 18+ to mid 20's. I can get older and experienced ladies at any local AMP in the states.
I know it's a long shot and I've seen/searched for it, but are there any places with Asian local talent. I preferred Thailand, but friend chose CR for fewer restrictions. Cool.
Lastly, who serves the leanest and best rare steak neat SL? Lobster mashed potatoes with the skin are also very worthy.
-ProductOfPrimes, CR rookie and noob. Please be gentle.
(1) No mini-bar at the Castillo. At the Sportsmens you can have them remove the mini-bar if you like (I always do). I don't remember if the Taormina has one or not but I don't think they do.
(2) The walk to Monicas doesn't take too long and an Uber would be less than 4 dollars. Relax is a little bit closer. Divas (old New Fantasy) is right down the street but I have heard that the quality (and price) isn't that great.
(3) I wouldn't negotiate in dollars and pay in colones as many of the girls I have encountered have a pretty good handle on the exchange rates (they change money every day) and they will round up in their favor not yours. Bars / restaurants, same thing. If you are going to be in country for more than a few days get and spend colones.
Now they may quote you a dollar figure and you can counter with a rounded figure in colones that is close but less expensive. For example the may say they want $100 (not suggesting you pay $100 but it's a round number for discussion). You can counter and say I always pay in colones and offer 60K (around $90). She might accept or she might counter with 70K ($104). Either way you are looking at plus or minus $10 on the exchange rates. Don't overthink it to save a couple of dollars. You are on vacation.
(4) There used to be an Asian MILF that worked the Rey maybe 10 to 15 years ago. In many trips, that is the only time I have seen an Asian woman working. There are might be some hidden pensiones that cater to Chinese only but I would not have a clue how to find one.
(5) The closest steak place I know of is La Esquina de Buenos Aires. It was pretty decent pre-Covid but I expect CR is having the some of the same issues we are in the states with their supply chains and the beef did come from Argentina. It's probably a 10 minute walk past the Del Rey. And if you are there early, Relax pension is very close. No idea on the lobster potatoes.
(6) I wouldn't just limit myself to the pensiones. There are reports of some bad behavior for some of the women that are taken back to the room but I have found that is the exception rather than the rule if you meet them in one of the gringo bars. Have a couple of drinks with them before you pull the trigger to get a feel for their personality. If things seem to click, go for it. Most of these women don't want to risk getting banned or suspended from the Sportsmens, Castillo or Taormina for bad behavior.
That said I have heard many bad things about women sourced from the ******* sites (Skokka, Wilas). If you are a newbie I would avoid.
Also very few women in San Jose are going to agree to an over night (a LT in SE Asia and TLN (toda la noche) in Costa Rica). Almost all of them have babysitters that need to be relieved. If you do find one, unless it is with a regular it is going to be at least double (maybe triple) their hourly rate. You best bet is to try to negotiate an addition hour or two at their hourly rate.
