At least you tried the search. A lot of guys don't. You just needed to broaden it a little. Here is a recent thread from the non-gulch section
http://www.costaricaticas.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7210, Short answer: was there w/novia so not sure about any extra fees but there appeared to be no prob bringing back chicas. As I recall it is only about a 5 or at most 10 minute drive away from Jaco. The beach IS much nicer. OTOH, it is more expensive than the Copa even IF they hit you with a chica fee. If you need more info you can PM me or, probably, surfdog.
