Any suggestions on where we should stay or visit? I am thinking the Hotel Del Ray. As a women, I am thinking it is prob. safer to bring a lady back to our room then trying to grab a cab to another hotel. And, is there a one guest limit at most places? Is there a hotel that does not limit?
Why do you think it would be unsafe to bring a girl(s) from DR to another hotel? Everybody does it all the time. No worries there. The DR is a completely dump as far as the hotel, it's overpriced, and they charge a made up fee of $10 to bring a girl up to
YOUR room. I think Sportsmens Lodge (SL) would be a good place to stay. No stupid fees, no limits on guests, and good atmosphere. Good bar and restaurant onsite. Oh yea... and plenty of girls hanging out in the place looking to make money.

Book ASAP (they are popular so they book up fast). Try to get a room in the new wing or the mansion wing.

Was also wondering, if anyone had any idea how much is reasonable. Do massage parlors take couples? What's the closest beach? Etc...
It's negotiable. Many guys get quoted $100, but most negotiate down to $70-80, so you gotta figure a little more for a couple. I would say $120-150 for a couple of hours should do the trick. Stay away from the one-hour girls, mostly clock-watchers.
For a couple, the only massage parlor to visit is Hotel Little Havana (HLH). Go with Pamela and Lauren and the 4 of you can have a real good time. You will thank me later.

Not all girls will be into couple but plenty are. They actually enjoy it (while making money of course), not just doing it for the bucks. Make sure you talk with the girls a little to weed out the ones who don't like girls.
Do a search in the Trip Reports section for reports from couples. There have been a couple in the past few months, maybe they will respond to this thread.
If you sign up for a VIP card, you get discounts at hotels and restaurants (and other activities, even at an MP) all over town, it's $39 /yr.

https://costaricaticas.com/memberdiscounts.pdfAt HLH, as a VIP, you pay $46/hr per girl for a "massage". Double that for a couple. It's $55 without VIP. So just one session there with 1 girl saves you $18 ($92 instead of $110). Do a 2-girl session and you pretty much recooped your membership fee.
