I have been a member of this board for about two years but I've just scheduled my first trip. A friend and I will be travelling first to Crocodile Bay Lodge for some fishing and then staying a few days in San Jose at the DelRey. My question is about the small town of Puerto Jimenez. Is there any nightlife there? Should we save our strength for San Jose?

Thanks to all of the long term members who have supplied tons of valuable tips and information to help me prepare for this trip.

Not sure about Jimenez but you can in Golfito good fishing down there good luck.

I have been to Puerto Jimenez twice. It is no San Jose. There are a few decent restaruants and one dance club that was filled with quite a few cute Ticas, but it is small, hot and crowded. From the main street you head down hill away from the waterfront and 3 blocks later you come to the club. It didn't get going until late. Sorry if my directions are inpercise, but I was being led there by the Tico Captain, and we had a few drinks already. If you ask around I'm sure someone can lead you there. It isn't a Del Ray situation either, You have to make some effort, speak some Spanish, and meet the girls. I'm in my twenties so I fit in pretty well age wise there, although I was the only Gringo. You could probably ask some local or fisherman to help make arrangments with a Tica for you, there are quite a few hotties around, but I never bothered to find out since I was enamoured with one I met in Golfito. I wish we could post pictures in the forum, I have a few from Jimenez floating around, but oh well.

The fishing in the area is fantastic !!!!! It is the best I have ever seen, and they say some of the best in the world. The area is also gorgeous as well.
