eh I know just the basics on P4P. I've heard guys pulling something decent for as little as $40 or $50 at a really slow time and agencies ripping gringos off for as much as $300 an hour.
I was novia chasing and taking them out to dinner at the American restaurants was plenty expensive. 40 bucks at pizza hut for 2 people LOL. Spent way more on meals than the hotel. Smarter to cook at the hotel if you are budgeting.
no offense, but why take them to crappy American places when they should be able to show you their favs? I mixed a mongering trip with the novia search trip, and I took her to the places she wanted to go. I saw very little of Escazu, but it seems far more 'westernized' than the Barrios I was staying in. I preferred the downtown area.
