10 Rules to Survive Jaco Beach the Cocal Hotel and Casino !!!

So you're visiting the country of Pura Vida. Well after spending 7 days there I got a crash course. In Hotel Cocal survival.

1st. Going rates of Hotel Cocal is $80 an hour to $150 for overnight or multiple hours . All negotiable. You have to clarify intensely what services you want BBBJ,DFK,Greek, Squirting, etc before leaving with them. I made the mistake twice assuming services and was disappointed even though I paid little for a hot Tica (Costa Rica hotty).

2nd. I wouldn't stay at Hotel Cocal if I were you because if those walls could talk they would have horror stories so I stayed at a Airbnb half a mile away and rented a golf cart for $55 a day running girls back and forth. But make sure if you go Airbnb to ask if they are guest friendly because some places and hotels charge extra up to $30 to bring girls to your room.

3. Buy your Liqour and Food from Grocery store. Saves money for the ladies and Jaco Beach restaurants aren't cheap. Also you can walk around with your mixed drink or beer in a coozie. Cocal charges alot for drinks.

4.Buy your own condoms . I found girls would take condom off often to hurry up session and use the no more sex without it excuse. I'm talking about buy a fishbowl if you can . You will see this happen that the girls have a delivery system to call taxis to drop off lube,condoms,etc within minutes. Quite fascinating.

5. The Waiting game is a vicious cycle I got caught in one night. It's when you waiting to find the perfect girl but the problem is that they are all perfect so you wait to see if 1 more come in ,which they do, but eventually time goes and you don't realize it's 2am.All the hotties have disappeared. Now your stuck with sloppy seconds are less unattractive chicks. Which some people find negotiation is easier. Have an idea on what you want before walking in and when you do and she says yes to all your requests. "Umm Bartender Check please..."

6.Daytime is boring as hell. I highly recommend booking some activity if fishing for half day,ATV tour,surfing lessons, hanging at beach, because the Cocal doesn't start peaking until 8:30p they do have a large amount of Massage parlors around Jaco with hot chicks that offer HJs and BBBjs for additional 40-60 dollars.

7. If you notice after 3 days or so that this can't be real . It is but with a catch. Everybody is working together from the Hotel Concierge giving out the occupancy numbers for the night to WhatsApp group all the way to the young guy in the smoking area selling jewelry for you to buy for the ladies just so they can give it back to him the next day to resale. So nothing to be alarmed about but better believe they are watching you more than you watching them. It will seem like even the girls you turn down know to send their friend over to give their team a try to get your money.

8. Colones vs Dollars. 50k Colones is about $100 so the trick is whatever the amount of Colones times 2 is the US $ amount . 4000 Colones is $8 . 10k Colones = $20 . I prefer using US dollars but everything you buy is Colones and Change is in Colones. So make sure you count it right before you leave a place.

9.The English for some girls is pretty good while others don't give a shit about learning English. No matter what , I used Google Translate app to make sure a conversation was understood. These Ticas most are in school and have knowledge of the game. Don't think your running game on them because they are smarter than you think no matter the age.

10. Pura Vida is the way of life for Costa Ricans they are friendly cool people that are there to make Money if you start catching feelings for the ladies which some guys did and actually were seen walking the beach with a chick that got tag teamed with DP days before. Remember it's all fucking and that's it. Don't think the ladies are willing to give up that life , even though they can make $$$$ in US. That's Pura Vida

If you guys want more info about Airbnb's that I stayed in which was decked out with all amenities and beach view that is guest friendly under $120 a night . or nice after hour spots that has action . Or the daytime scene questions let me know . I also have a Top 10 for San Jose and the infamous Del Rey which is a different beast. Have fun.

u hit the nail on the head. good info. I would b interested in the place u stayed plus the san jose info. thx
Great list. I found most Cocal chicas prefered dollars, and it was easier for my mental math so I went with USD. Side note: the ATM by the concierge was the only one I could find in Jaco that dispensed dollars (but I didn't look too hard).

Your #10 is right on. A girl I had a few sessions with got very friendly with me and we started having a coffee here, a dinner there, and then she invited me to her place for Christmas dinner. I thought wow, that's very personal and must be a sign that we're crossing that boundary. Not that I was looking to cross it- I like to keep things compartmentalized. Anyway when we got to the short-term after the huge Christmas dinner with her and her family guess what? Yulp, I was expected to pay. No biggie but as you said- it's business not personal.

You can Google map these places and save as a bookmark star on Google Maps

The Man Cave- Very nice place small on the outside but pretty spacious in the inside. It was a very nice spot. Nicely dress bartenders. Not the place for flip flops and swim trunks. This is a Clubbin spot for sure.

Le Loft- Is at the top of the only multi floor pink bldg. A lot of ladies and locals . The girls I saw from massage parlors were there and a few girls from Cocal as well. It's a after hour spot and free entry. Definitely a clubbin spot with VIP section and bottle service

Orange Pub-They had a shitload of US girls there in their 20s living it up and this was there hang out spot to dance the night away. Too young for me but if I was back in my college days I would have had a field day. Techno , Electronic, Hip hop, Reggae and all that shit.


The Beatle - Wow I sat next to a guy who had to be over 80 years old . I sat watching him take his meds at the bar I look around seeing old 6-8 veterans drink and converse with 40 year old ticas. That scene was depressing and dead.After my beer I ran out. It was around 4:30 pm but its not what people say it use to be any more.

Jaco Blu- Is a pool bar lounge club outside with a lot of locals . Very nice place with a few chicks running around . Some in the pool and some lounging in beach chairs listening to the dj . It's a nice place for a day party.

Jaco Golf Rental - He has golf carts for $55 a day and they come in handy especially or quick stops because parking a car and all can be burdensome. I highly recommend renting one because you can park them anywhere except in the sand .
