HISPALIS ( gay bathhouse)

A few blocks away from the museum if you are a tourist better take UBER. It is a nice area but I have been told to proceed with caution specially at night.the club opens at noon and closes at 9 pm. The bar sells alcoholic drinks. It is better if you bring your on lube and condoms. A lot of guys do BB others prefer condoms. There are not rooms for rent .14 rooms to play in and kind of always busy. The entrance fee 6000 colones (9$).It is closed on Monday and Tuesday .It opens on Wednesday thru Sunday. It has a swimming pool , jacuzzi. Sauna , maze , dry sauna , glory holes. You can hook up as soon as you get in. Lots of PYT’S if you are looking for those. The crowd from very young to very old. It is not a very diverse crowd . You will not find blacks or orientals maybe one here and there ( don’t know the reason). Mostly white costarricans not everybody in Latin America is brown. ( if you care about that stuff) There are visitors from other Latin American countries and USA and EUROPEAN tourists and by the screams coming from the rooms they are having a blast. The action really starts at 3 pm up until 7 pm. Lots of the guys carry huge packages. There is a lot of action in the steam maze . At times the maze is crowded with guys fucking and sucking . The glory holes sometimes is crowded other times is not. Thursdays is a so so day not many guys. There is no place for smoking. Naked days Wednesdays and Thursdays . Some really handsome guys and the not so handsome. If you visit Costa Rica and like bathhouses HISPALIS is a must.

Visited Hispalis on my trip to Costa Rica (ok, ok... I visited 3 times!), and I this is one of the most well-run saunas I have ever seen! Clean, safe, and a LOT of fun! Visiting San Jose? Make sure you stop by Hispalis!

There is a newer nicer place in town

Went to Hispalis which was ok but was told that there was a brand new place that just opened called Celsius Lounge. OMG it was amazing. Largest jacuzzi that I have ever seen. Steam room maze was gigantic. I have traveled all around the world and this place is the nicest I have ever seen.

ANNIVERSARYð

The same place, nothing new, bad music The facilities very clean. It is a big old house that was converted into a bathhouse .The clientele as I mention before paunchy old guys as in old saunas of the world but also young guys some attractive some not. I noticed that one of the screens for viewing porn in one of the corridors was turn off so one one of the saunas it was not in use There is no WEB SITE .All this I imagine to save money. As I mention before if you don't like Hispanics or other colors other than white don't waste your time coming and don't expect a sauna like the ones in the USA or EUROPE because it is not. If you don't care about all that more that likely you'll have a good time meaning a good shag in the times that I have been there I've seen no orientals and black guys maybe one.The main action ,the maze as it is very anonymous . The admission fee still 5500 ,drinks it depends on what you drink rum and coke $3.60 but basically everybody drinks beer because it is cheaper.The best that I can describe the place it is like foreigners who have never been out there countries imagine a whorehouse in THAILAND.The only difference is that is gay and sex is free.So if you want to clean up your pipes and don't care about nothing of the above you definetly must visit SAUNA HISPALIS
