The weather keeps me out of Jaco.

And that won't change either.

Of course violent crime isn`t exclusive to Jaco.

100 to 150 for rooms and clock watchers with a bunch of rules at a smelly beach is not a good option. And I don`t care how big a high roller one thinks they are. Real high rollers don`t have to leave the country to begin with. They have hot ass delivered in any shape, size or nationality of their choosing. For the average Joes there`s much better options than Jaco.

Perfect post
Same jaco haters sound like the del rey haters of present and years ago
Always bitching about mercenary /sharks rooms prices etc

Whenever there`s a criticism of Jaco you can count on Mike321 to come running to the defense. That`s while we are on the subject of "always" that is...

First off, I'm not really a Jaco fan. So many better beaches in CR. But it is very close to SJ.

Went there for three days back in 2004. If you think it is dangerous now, back then it was pretty darn scary. It's still got a pretty shitty (literally) beach, the temperature is Africa hot and the humidity makes it feel like a steam room.

That said, a three or four day jaunt to Jaco to break up a longer San Jose trip can be enjoyable. They have really cleaned up the main drag and there are plenty of pretty good restaurants and small bars. The prices will generally be higher than San Jose.

You will spend around $150+ for a hotel room if you stay at the Cocal or Crocs but bargains can be found. In a couple of weeks I will be in Jaco for four days and am paying $80 per night at the Hotel Mango Mar. That includes the 13% tax and breakfast. That ends up being less expensive than many of our favorite San Jose haunts. And it is right next door to the Cocal.

From a safety perspective just use common sense like you do in SJ. Don't go walking around drunk at 3 in the morning. Take taxis (one that you hail yourself). Don't do stupid stuff and stay away from drugs and drug people. Violent crime happens everywhere.

The girls in the Cocal can be mercenary but you can find a reasonably priced GFE if you are patient, look around and engage a lot of females and don't have to have the most beautiful girl in the bar. I have encountered a lot of very friendly Nicas in Jaco.

seriously?

Yup. The drug dealer was a businessman, not a serial killer. It's all about the money. I firmly believe he could have bought his way out of the situation. Of course, hindsight, and all that! easy to argue from the comfort of my chair.

Being the resident CRT blowhard it also easy for you to argue from a set of made up facts. Nobody who has posted on this thread knows for sure what happened. Your belief is based on nothing but pure speculation and conjecture, sort like 2/3 of your post just made up bs. How do you know he wanted to purchase drugs? How do you know he could have "bought his way out of the situation"? Your "hindsight" is based on what? You were not there. You have not spoken to anyone that was there. Do you know for sure what the argument was about? But you are the All Knowing Bashful Dwarf so you just know. Your a joke dude! Blame the victim with no evidence or facts to back you up just proves what a pathetic blowhard you really are. But for fate or luck you could be the one that died in that situation.

Thumbs up Mike. I got your back anytime.

I don't suppose you read the story, did you? Obviously you did not based upon the crap you just threw up here. No one said he was buying drugs, but then your selective reading skills are so damned sharp, I cannot challenge them.

Why you attack me for nothing is beyond me. I said that he should have tried to buy peace rather than try to use brute force. Every narrative of the story says that he challenged the shooter. How many times on this board have you been told that when someone threatens you, you DO NOT challenge them? I seem to recall even the great Loco Mike chiming in his support on those threads when someone gets killed in a botched robbery.

No one is blaming the victim here. But it is clear that he could have tried some other way of dealing with the situation. Someone with your limited comprehension skills may not be able to understand that.

Have you tried Hooked On Phonics? Reading is Fundamental, ya kno'.
