Hotel Choice in San Jose is Important to Vacation Plans

Welcome to the No Hookers Hotel

Obviously the choice of hotel is an important part of any vacation plan, and it is particularly so when planning the single male fantasy vacation in San Jose, Costa Rica.

International travel is not like domestic travel and you will rarely get a good deal when you use an online book system. In fact many of the hotels put their highest price on the Internet booking engine to make up for the commissions they will pay. Should you decide to cancel, then you will be depending on the Internet site to communicate with the hotel in Costa Rica, which will be a mess.

Check out the List of Recommended Hotels or read on to get the details on how to make a hotel selection.

Avoid Chain Hotels

Non Permissive Hotel in Bad Section of Town

Part of the reason why the Internet booking systems are a bad option is that they will likely steer you into a big chain hotel, which is almost certainly a poor choice for your fantasy vacation experience.

While some of the hotel brands respect policies against sex tourism the majority operate in the grey area, which means the policies will depend on the time of day, appearance of your date, and the whim of a desk clerk or manager.

At least the hotels with defined policies will be up front when you call and ask, however the others will say just about anything to book the room and then shut you down once you check in.

No to Prostitution is a program created and implemented by the Hotels Best Western Irazu and Best Western Jaco Beach Resort, which seeks to discourage any kind of sex tourism in Costa Rica, regardless of age.

Sorry, you are unlikely to be let out of your reservation and won’t get a refund because you were not allowed to bring a hooker to your hotel room.

There are also some chain hotels in San Jose that are looking for their piece of the action, meaning a few Chain Hotels in San Jose Charge for Company, and trust me there a few things worse than negotiating a $60 session only to be slapped with a $25 charge for each girl that you bring to your room.

Stay Out of the Suburbs

Are We on Vacation Yet?

Instead of walking a few blocks to pickup your next date or have a drink you will be spending a good deal of your vacation in a taxi, sucking automobile exhaust on the highway, and being overcharged by drivers with “special rates” for pickups at tourist hotels.

In fact if you stay in the suburbs then you likely will end up be one of those clueless types looking on craigslist for a date to come to your room. This is sort of thing will guarantee the most expensive, most experienced and least attentive talent. You might as well Look for Hookers in the United States.

If you must stay in the suburbs because your company has sent you to Costa Rica, then plan on coming to downtown after 7pm in order to escape rush hour, and possibly use the Short Term Hotels that charge about $10 for a couple hours.

Choose Close to Downtown San Jose

You can’t beat the downtown area for location when it comes to brothels, bars and casinos, and while it can be a bit noisy it is the place to be if you are looking for the single male experience. This area is commonly referred to as the Gringo Gulch, however the majority of Recommended Hotels are in the upscale area near downtown called Barrio Amon.

There are other areas near downtown that are perfectly suitable including Soledad, which is home to the Freebird Hotel, and San Pedro where you can find the very luxurious Hotel M. There are also an assortment of budget options near the Avenida Segunda.

Beware of Boutique Hotels

While technically some of the Recommend Hotels are boutique hotels in general these types of accommodation function as bed and breakfast lodging for budget tourists and families. Many do not have a 24 hour front desk and you aren’t likely to have a pleasant experience when you knock on the door at 2am and wake up the security guard or owner with a hooker in tow.

The good news is that you can generally call and ask if you will be allowed to bring prostitutes to your room. You are likely to get a very definite NO answer instead of the run around.

In Room Safe is a Must Have

Cash is King in Costa Rica

When you pick up Bargirls at places like the Hotel Del Rey you are not usually expected to pay until you bring her back to your room.

This is good because you won’t need to carry much cash while at the bar, however you will need a safe place to keep your Bankroll. You also will want to secure your passport, expensive cell phone, and other valuables while the girl is in your room.

The ideal approach is to get lockage luggage and leave the larger items locked in your bag with its key and other values in the safe. This way you can take a shower or in general your time in the bathroom without fear of being robbed.

If your hotel doesn’t have an in room safe, then you likely should not let any girls come over for the night, and unfortunately you might end up walking around San Jose at night with more money than is prudent. You also should not use the bathroom and leave a girl alone in your bedroom.
