What is the procedure for bringing a tica back to the hotel? Do you need to register them at the desk, or can you go straight up to the room? Likewise, do you need to escort them out when over? Can you just show your CRT card at check-in, or do you need to show it to them everytime you bring a guest? Thanks

You take the chica to the security desk, she shows her ID, and they enter her in the computer, and give her a vistor's badge. (If the girl is blacklisted, the computer warns them not to let her in, and you have to take her out of the hotel.)

On the way out, she turns in the badge. She can do that solo, but I always walk them out - back to the BM, or to a taxi.

Late at night, when the security desk is closed, you check them in at the front desk.

Only one girl at a time. No fee.

"Proper attire" required. There are dozens of threads discussing this issue, but the smart chicas carry a jacket or something that will let them get in. They know the drill.

If you don't show your CRT VIP card every time you take a chica to your room, a $25 charge per session will appear on your final bill !! Not really you won't need your CRT card at the Presidente except maybe at check in.

You have to check them in, no exceptions! CRT card means nothing. You can check them in as a visitor and they will receive a badge. If they stay for the night and you want them to have the free breakfast you have to register them as a guest. Be careful though...as a guest they can charge things to your room and come and go at will. You need to walk the visitor out at the end of your session.

I won't register them as a guest unless they are a repeat gal that you know well. If you have a true “novia” being a guest is the way to go…… enjoy, I love the Presidente!!!! Still my favorite hotel in San Jose.

Once they know you as a CRT VIP, you don't usually have to show your card at checkin. Last trip I never got it out, at all.

And there is no chica fee, either way.

Really no reason to ever have to show your VIP card. Presidente discount applies for all registered CRT members not just VIPs.
