Sex tourism is a great embarrassment and considered very undesirable. Hotels have to decide whether they want normal tourists, or cater to mongers. Society in general finds it disgusting. Especially when it is public. And since reviews often are public information it only takes one of those American families checking in and seeing some fellow gringo bringing in a hooker and the hotel will be labelled as such. So they have to pick what market they will cater to. It is then a business decision.

It almost sounds like the implication is that most men in this lifestyle don't know how to be discreet about it? While I won't get into the exact number, I've seen over 75 strumpets in my lifetime. The ONLY time I've ever countered a problem was several years ago when I was in Vegas. I was staying at a hotel where they have a "guard" between the casino floor and the hallway that leads to the elevators, which go to the rooms. The guy there checks every single person who walks past, to make sure they have a room key. So I had to go down there and walk the girl past with me.

Other than that, I've never been stopped ONCE in all the time I've been doing this, nor have any of the girls who have come to my room. I don't see anything alarming about a man and woman walking together through a hotel lobby, or even a single woman or man walking through there alone. What would catch my eye if I'm a front desk clerk is if I see someone dressed like Dennis Hof, stumbling drunk out of his mind through the lobby, slobbering all over the floor, and grabbing the boobs and ass of the girl he has his arm around as he attempts to make his way back to his room, all while laughing at the top of his lungs. Of course that's going to attract unwanted attention.

I've seen girls all the way from Portugal to Australia, and I've always stayed in nice hotels. Most of the time there's not a guard, but there may be a bellhop or doorman. On a few rare occasions I've gone to incalls where the girl booked a place that certainly wasn't 5 star. But, it sounds like the cat has already been let out of the bag in this case. In that going back to being discreet isn't going to change the opinion of the hotels in Costa Rica at this point? I just don't understand why it's so hard for people to conduct their business in a respectful and inconspicuous manner. Though from the sound of things at SL, DL, and Castillo, the bigger issue there is the woman hanging around the hotels and approaching the men. That sticks out like a sore thumb, and any "regular" tourist is going to notice that. I guess CR isn't the best place to schedule meetings by the internet, and most business is conducted in person, where it's out in the open :(

Does anyone have suggestions for "standard" hotels in San Jose where I won't encounter trouble with getting chicas back to my room?

Also, any thoughts if it would make a difference on how you approach the situation? For instance, if I meet her a block away from the hotel, and walk back to the entrance with her arm around my shoulder, is security at the door going to assume she's "with me" once I show my ID? Or is walking hand and hand like that not going to fool the hotel staff into thinking she's my significant other?



I was told this one if I wanted a “tranquilo” experience, by a local. She sent me pictures and it looked nice “Hotel Barceló, San José” https://www.barcelo.com/en-us/

Families of five doing the ecotourist thing and regular business travelers on expense accounts generate a lot more revenue for the Costa Rican economy than we do. I remember back in the old days when the Hotel Presidente completely stopped allowing unregistered guests in their hotel (It used to be my favorite hotel in the gulch). Many folks on this forum predicted gloom and doom that the hotel would not be able to survive without our business. They seem to be doing pretty well.

Despite the fact that Costa Rica has legalized prostitution, it is still a very conservative country.

Personally, if I am engaging in P4P, I am much more comfortable staying in a place that not just tolerates the hobby but somewhat caters to it. Call me shy or overly sensitive but I really don't like getting the death stares from uptight women (and men) when I bring a scantily clad chica who is less than half my age through a hotel lobby and check her in at the front desk.

I understand folks that want to keep their playing somewhat on the DL whether due to work issues (expense reports, etc.) or not so inclined travel partners. That is the niche that the short time hotels / motels serve. They are relatively inexpensive for a couple of hours, totally discreet and some of them are surprisingly quite nice though I would avoid the two closest to the Del Rey (Hotel Asia and the one across the street).

You are seldom going to find a regular tourist in any of these hotels though the well-heeled neighbors that live near these hotels always complain to the police / government about the "unsavory" activities occurring in these venues. You will get the occasional couple but generally they are looking for the same thing we are.

Like you I have traveled a lot of places around the world and find that Costa Rica probably has the largest percentage of hotels that do not permit company unless you register them when you check in. Two other pretty restrictive countries are Panama and Vietnam. Even in Jaco, which is a major party town, you will find a lot of the nicer hotels not permitting guests or charging an outrageous fee for the priviledge.

It's just the way it is and based how attitudes everywhere are becoming more woke, it's probably going to get worse instead of better. In CR I know if I want to have a hassle free trip, I know to book a hotel or an AirBnB that will allow company. If I am staying at new place, I always get written confirmation of their guest policy. If I am going to Pattaya or Sosua or someplace similar, I don't bother as 99% of the hotel and condos will permit at least one guest.

The most important thing is to ACTUALLY come to CR. To stay at El Presidente, Barcelo, Asia, or Hotel Abajo del Puente you have to enter the country. The OP has decided not to.

I was just in San Jose and was staying at the Marriott Hacienda Belen by the airport. It is a bit away from the gulch, but has an airport shuttle and close to where I rent cars. My buddy and I went to the gulch, picked up a couple of girls and came back to the hotel. Went to the bar up front of the hotel (small one next to the gift shop) when we got there - no issues. Matter of fact, they wait staff and bartenders talked with the girls and treated them well. Then we went to the room for business and then went to another one of their bars in the back of the hotel and was treated well there as well. So no issues at the Marriott there.

I will say, the Marriott in Los Suenos (near Jaco) is not friendly at all as you need to pre-register guests when you check in. My buddy and I, in the past, have had security chase us down as we tried to get to our room with Ticas.

let me mention that a stop at the Marriott in Los Suenos is worth a stop for a drink or lunch, and a chance to get away from the Cocal for something different. Nice marina.i remember when they opened.

And the golf course is awesome especially if you get a cooler than usual day.

That is correct for the moment; that doesn't mean I'm not going in the future. I promised to report back here on my trip with the Colombiana when I return.

You might one day want to go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem, in that case take the "A" train.

'I promised to report back here on my trip with the Colombiana when I return.'

Also sounds like she is or could be viewed as a GF so why all the stress and consternation?
