I did one night at HDR, an 8-day adventure trip on the Caribbean side, and then three nights back at SJ, stayed at the SL. I did squeeze in a quick day trip to the Cocal during that visit. All in all, a good exposure and experience.
I'm in between gfs at the moment, so I'm considering my 2nd visit to CR during Thanksgiving week; Wednesday - Sunday. I'm weighing a return to SL or perhaps staying in Jaco.
If I stick with SJ and the SL, I know what to expect. I understand that they also have Thanksgiving dinner. For a quick 5-day, 4-night stay, certainly an affordable and solid option. My issue is that I may get bored during the day; I could obviously book one or two day trips.
If I opt for Jaco, I'm considering the Cocal or Copacabana. With this option, while I would spend more on transportation to/from Jaco, the beach is right there, as well as a pool at both hotels. However, it sounds like the ladies demand higher donations in Jaco vs SJ. When researching the Cocal vs Copacabana, I'm sort of leaning toward the Copacabana, but the idea and convenience of "one stop shopping" at Cocal is appealing.
I'd be flying solo.
Any thoughts or comments on one option over the other?
I am thinking of coming back around then
First day I would stay at the new Castillo or Amistad, lots of fellow CRT guys at both bars, you are a short walk to sportsmans, new fantacy, little Havana, zona, HDR. Theo's for dive bar atmosphere A good strip club in Alcasar
Few more blocks south relax, Idem had nice girls after 5:00pm hit HDR on the way back.
Next morning uber or short taxi ride to the nice mall/bus terminals 7-10 cheap $5 ride to jaco
Stay at basic hotel mango Marr right next to cocal or splurge at Americanised Crocs
I would return Sunday stay again at Castillo, HDR has been good Sunday for me or you could taxi $100 straight to the airport from Jaco.
Life is short, do it.
