Great story Netgems!!
Not that I care for Jaco, actually I think it's a sh*t hole, but now if I want to come to visit Cocal, I got a place to stay! First case of two guys becoming buds thru a chica, I believe.

Did you have a specific bad experience in Jaco or have you been and found it to always be shitty?
Just curious if it's worth going to Jaco. I hear about the girls being amazing but is the city itself so bad it's not worth leaving San Jose for?
LaD put it in pretty good excellent accurate prospective. I can't add much to his assessment.
I'm from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and in 2003 when I first visited Costa Rica, people were calling this sewer on the beach "The Fort Lauderdale of Costa Rica" and Cocal did not exist but the Beatle Bar did. Well, Ft. lauderdale is a beautiful and expensive tony wealthy giant sophisticated world city chock full of mostly unattainable unless you're young or rich stunning beautiful women.
Me and my first time bud, also from Ft. lauderdale, that's all we needed to hear, we rented a car and headed down there. The highway did not exist, the road there through the mountains and the trip there and back was beautiful, that was possibly worth the trip and the rental in and of itself. The other big thrill was parking and looking at the giant crocs under the bridge, they make our Florida gators look like lizards...
Once we got there, it was like, 'WTF"???? This one dusty road town of dirty bars, dirty retaurants and dirty tourist traps looks more like the "Tijuana" of Costa Rica, or if you know Ft. Lauderdale, the "Dixie Highway" of Costa Rica, and that's insulting Dixie Highway...
I actually was asking people "Are you sure this is the place???" In any event, we had booked a dumpy hotel close to the Beatle Bar, clean, but old and small, no a/c, cold showers, my buddies toilet didn't have a seat, just the rim, the hotel had no empty rooms for him to change to, like 6 units total and no spare toilet seats...but walking distance to the Beatle Bar. A light at the end of the tunnel...
Might as well make a bad situation good, in those days not too many Ticas there, lots of super hot babes from the Dominican Republic, they were cheap, fun and delivered, and they delivered big! Many Ticas have a network of family and friends, maybe even the baby daddy, they're not desperate. Diff story, here...if you've come to a foreign country to work as a hoe, you're desperate, you want business, you earrrrrn it...the good ones got repeat business, more propinas, more time, more breakfasts, lunches and dinners...
We picked two super hotties for bargain basement prices and in 2003, it was gawd awful cheap in San Jose...We then went back to the Beatle Bar with them after feasting on them initially and falling in lust, they had friends they said would join in. Now we're headed back to the no tell hotel with 2 each, Ft Lauderdale, whaaattt??? Who needs Ft. Lauderdale, I'll be in the real Ft. Lauderdale in a week, now we have this situation...
This doesn't end here, they inform us they have two other great friends. Long story short, me and my buddy in 2 nights and three days in two separate rooms banged 6 hot Dominicans in various combinations of two and a couple top performers competed for all night bigger paycheck and breakfast sessions...I look back now and kick myself at those prices not getting 3 plus me, that's on the bucket list and Costa Rica is the place to do it.
Of course if the Beatle Bar wasn't there, we would have headed out immediately, and if the Cocal didn't exist, what's the point of heading there when just about every other CR beach is clean or somewhat clean and many are mind numbing gorgeous?
I certainly will go there, but I'll come only for a couple days and stay at Cocal or maybe one of the immediate nearby places, enjoy some blistering heat and sun and pool and cocktails with those little umbrellas and lots of greasy tanning lotion and greasy food and hot poon as well for a day or two because I'm from Florida and we still have a need for that type of fun now and then, that's the reason we came to Florida and you can't get it out of your system...but if Cocal didn't exist I would never go there, and I'll put my face in my toilet and blow bubbles over going in the ocean there. Seriously.
I have a friend that has a mind boggling mountainside ocean view small house I call a "hut" in a place called Oso something, a community of homes on a mountainside with an ocean view, Oso Village, I remember now. Nice middle class resort-retiree-vacation area with millionaire views. That's where you should go to enjoy a beach and the beauty Costa Rica offers on the Pacific side, not Jaco.
It's south of Jaco. If I wasn't a monger, and I was driving from San Jose to visit him, I would only view Jaco as a place to pull over and take a piss and crap on the side of the road, my contribution to the ambiance it already holds so well, and is quite possibly the worst Costa Rica has to offer, possible exception being, of course, Pavas and Puteranus....
