Hey guys!

I stayed at Sportsmans Lodge in San Jose several times between 2008 and 2011. Since then I began visiting Medellin and in more recent years Thailand. I want to take a trip back but have no idea what the scene is like now. A couple questions:

- Is Sportsmans lodge still a popular place to stay? If not then where?

- How much are the chicas charging these days for 1 hr?

SL is still a great place to stay, and they now have a great breakfast buffet. Many of the girls are trying to raise the going rate but I never have a problem finding really good girls for $100. The selection of girls at SL is still hit or miss but it is a short downhill walk to Castillo and Toarmina to find that special someone. It is a cheap Uber ride back if you find a girl or don't want the uphill walk.

The reality is Manfred is running the place as he has been for a long time. It was a seamless transition after Bills passing. Bottom line is the place is still great and I believe it will remain so for a long time.

Still a great place, but with easy transport to Jaco, a lot of the nice ladies are going to Jaco for the weekend work and making more money there. So I do believe some of the quality may be a little lacking on the weekend from ladies working in Jaco. At least that is what it surely seems based on trip reports lately where the women at SL and other areas are not as nice as they were in the past. Obviously many women get cash in other digital ways, but there are still a lot of value for your time and money.

If you are okay with $200 for a lady and extra money for food and drinks, Jaco is hopping still down there. It is just a different vibe as they say.

I was in Jaco 15 years ago as well. It was a quiet town town. Sounds like it has changed a lot. $200 is too much. Id rather just stay in San Jose at Sportsmans and pay $100 for a girl. 15 years ago the girls at Sportsmans were charging $80 for an hour so $100 or even $120 sounds good.

Room prices at Sportsmans havent gone up much over the years either it seems.

How much for a beer at the bar?
