Others will probably chime in here to advise you to use the Search function to find answers to your questions. the questions are fine, normal, acceptable and have been asked/answered about five hundred times...
But, in the interest of welcoming a new guy into our band of Merry Men, I will attempt to answer the questions and save you some time. I'm just a nice guy that way!
Hi everyone - This is my very first post as I am making my first trip to CRSJ. Most of my travels have been to Thailand and now I thought it be nice for a change in scenery. I will be there from May-25 to June-1
I do have some questions if you do not mind answering them.
1. Does anyone have contact info for Castillo's hotel
Sure. And if you're a VIP member of CRt, you'll get a fat discount at Hotel Castillo.
Read this:
https://costaricaticas.com/news.php?id=228The above link goes to an article with contact info, the hotel's website and information about the cash VIP discount.
2. How does CS compare to Thailand -
I've never been to LOS, however other guys have said that while Thailand is less expensive, more girls, GFE more common and generally the "Big League" of mongering, the flight is a killer by comparison. San Jose is much more compact than even Pataya, and the selection is smaller and slightly more expensive.
3. Where should I get a good quality massage with all the extras.
Any MP will offer what you want. Paola and Natasha at Zona Blue (if they're still there) both give wonderful massage in addition to sex. Again, your VIP membership helps at ZB; you'll get a substantial discount (around $4.00, if memory serves).
4. Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated.
Here's some advice. Read the forum thoroughly. You're an experienced hobbyist, but San Jose isn't Bangkok and it will help to learn about local customs, places and prices.
Another word of advice is to know some Spanish. It will help you have more fun.
Finally, pay the $39.00 and join VIP here at costaricaticas. You'll not only get fantastic discounts on hotels, nightclub admissions, MP sessions, meals, transportation and tours, but you'll also get access to the VIP section, with its wealth of photos, videos, insider information and recommendations. Most important, you'll be supporting this great website. I'm not a shill, by any means. I'm just a guy who has enjoyed VIP membership benefits for nearly two years. Believe me when I tell you, it's money well spent.
5. I have read as much info as I could on this forum
I doubt that very seriously. Doing so would be an impressive undertaking. Go back and read some more. Seriously. Yes, answers to specific questions can be hard to find and takes some perseverance, but it's well worth it.
Thanks from the Newbie to CR - BobSJ

Thanks Bob! Welcome to CRT. We're happy to help. Oh, and one more word of advice: Post a notice of your trip in the Roll Calls section. Be sure to put your trip dates/year in the subject line. A Roll Call announcement will make it easier for you to connect with other CRT guys, some of whom will be veterans who can really help you get the most out of your trip. Enjoy!
