Has ANYONE here EVER scored with a chica they hadn't brought with them or even a fellow tourist in the Arenal/Tabacon/La Fortuna area? I'm guessing this is an extremely low probability (near impossibility) plan of action. Personally I think your best bet may be to just enjoy the area's natural attractions an the time you get to spend with your family and wait until you get back to SJ to get your jollies.
I'm guessing you're probably going to be staying at one of the more expensive lodges outside of town that are closer to the volcano. If you stay there, unless you think you can score with the front desk clerk, your maid, waitress or masseuse, the only chicas you're likely to see are either going to be with their families or with their Gringo boyfriends. Similarly the foreign tourists at such places are much more likely to be family groups or couples than they are to be young single girls on the make. If you're looking for that type of female tourist, you're much more likely to find them at other types of places, such as at beach towns or even youth-oriented budget hotels or hostels such as in La Fortuna itself. When it comes to the fancy resorts, the female hotel staff may be your best bet, but I definitely wouldn't bet the farm on it.
This means that you're probably going to want to get away from the hotel (and your family) to do the hunting. I think the best bet is Nuck's idea about asking your cabby about local haunts with P4P or local ladies that are open to earning some extra bucks. Here are some other thoughts. La Fortuna does not strike me as a place where you're likely to pick up a local off the street and romance or bribe her into your bed in the 1-2 days that you have to spend there. They see plenty of tourists in La Fortuna and know you're just passing through. Romance isn't going to do it and unless you know where to go and what to look for are unlikely to distinguish the pro or semi-pro. Similarly, I don't think hitting on a female tourist at the local lunch counter is going to cut it either. You'll need to know where the local "party" places are.
La Fortuna is not a town with much in the way of nightlife, though that may have changed with all the relatively recent growth in the tourism market. The only place I have heard of is Volcan Look and is purported to be the largest disco in CR outside of SJ. Its about 5km west of town. It supposedly hops with all the locals on the weekends but is supposed to be pretty dead during the rest of the week.
