Okay, amigo... algunos repuestos a tus preguntas....
1. The chicas do indeed mind where you stick it to them. Most will scream bloody murder, if you stick it to them in the nostril, ear canal or eye socket. Some however, will give up the tracero, especially the lovelies in Parque Morazan.
2. On a budget? Try Hotel Gran Via or Hotel Castillo. The Presidente, Sportsmen's Lodge, Hotel del Rey and Costa Rica Hotel Morazan are other possibilities. All except the Castillo and Sportsmen's are considered to be within the confines of "Gringo Gulch." All the ones I mentioned are friendly to guys bringing hookers up to their rooms.
3. Speaking Spanish will only help your game if you're a gentleman. A jerk is a jerk in any language. But yes, speaking castellano will help you negotiate more easily, relate your desires to the girls better and even find less hardcore, fresher girls.
4. Best place to scoop the coochie? For independents, the Blue Marlin Bar in the Hotel del rey, the Monkey Bar across the street and the New York bar down the block. Also local joints such as Bar Camelot, Bar Dandy, Bar Monaco. Nightclubs mentioned are good, so-called "strip clubs" are often overpriced. kamur is reported to be excellent, as are Pantera Rosa, le Grillion, Arkada, VIP's Molino Rojo. Use the search function to read more.
5. Read everything you can here, search on topics of interest, then return to this thread to ask more specific questions. Most guys here are more than wwilling to help out a newbie, but nobody here will tolerate laziness. We're not travel agents.
6. Check out Ace's lists for newbies. In this section, look for it.
7. Read other guys' trip reports, which often include useful information on where to find the hottest girls at the best prices.
8. Read RBC100's exhaustive list of bars, massage parlors and nightclubs.
9. Join as a CRT V.I.P. member, download and print the excellent maps available here, which show all the cool places. The V.I.P. membership is also your ticket to numerous discounts for restaurants, hotel stays, massage services, fishing and other good stuff.
10. Feel free to PM me personally with specific questions. But, doing a little research here will open up the wild world of Costa Rica and its erotic diversions to you, so use the Forums and do your homework.
$1500.00 will cover you, including $500.00 airfare, $250.00 hotels and +/- $150.00/day for food, drinks, taxis, sex...a four night trip is doable for $15K. Budget down a little bit, stay in a less expensive hotel, do more play in massage parlors etc. and you might even be able to stretch your trip to five nights. Oh, and don't forget to take at least one day to look outside San Jose. Costa Rica is a bounty of natural beauty, and even a short afternoon trip to La Paz Waterfall park will help make your trip even more memorable.
Buena suerte, y bienvenidos a CRT, pendejo...
