Hate to disagree with ya Orange, but here goes...

It's hot as balls all day and night, there is nothing to do during the day, and the town is filthy/shady.
Ton of stuff to do during the day, a LOT more than in San Jose (unless girls is the only thing that gives you pleasure). You can go on a ATV tour, play golf, horseback riding, waterfall rappelling, deep sea fishing and a ton more. It is hot but the town is much cleaner now with the rise in tourism and crime isn't much of a concern. As for the girl problem, most of my clients get phone numbers at night and call in the day. Works out great for both.

Next, chicas are charging more, almost double (from 70-80 in SJ) in Jaco.
I don't know why this myth keeps floating around when it's been disproven so many times. Girls ASK for $150 but will almost always go for $100, just like the hot girls in Del Rey. You've got to compare apples to apples (9s to 9s) not the 'average price' as the average girl in Jaco is much hotter than the average in Del Rey.

And the exchange rate has been holding shitty for years now.
The exchange rate has been climbing the last few months...it is now 543 versus the 500 they kept it pegged at for years so a 10% increase.
As for Cuba Dave...feel for the guy considering he was just a 'face'. But yes, he has hurt the scene here.
