“Chica Friendly” hotels refers to those hotels that will not frown or refuse your sex social worker accompanying you. The term was coined years ago by a number of mongers who preferred the use of the word “chica” when referring to prostitutes.
A few, a handful, of hotels around the country actually count on the chicas patrolling their establishments, offering up their sexual services to customers, who come for the girls. Best to say these hotels are not “family oriented”.
While some of the chica friendly hotels insist on a dress code, others are not so strict. Though provocative clothing is a part of the role-playing, “too trashy” is not so welcome. For example, some years back a number of “gringo gulch” hotels stopped allowing working girls accompanying their guests. Under any circumstances. While others let it slide as long as the girl is “decently” dressed. Best to ask your hotel in advance of any dress code, and while you’re it, for any extra room charge.
Yes, extra charges. This can vary from hotel to hotel and place. The typical extra room charge is between US$10 and US$35 dollars. Some are higher, while some do not charge. And this charge is for every time you bring up a girl, even if more than one on the same night (or day).
All hotels will need the chica to presented her “cedula”, Costa Rican ID or passport, help at the front desk until she leaves. Some hotels will call up to your room to check if everything is OK before releasing the document.
There has been some controversy on the subject. The girls, however, prefer to hand over their document in lieu of actually having to sign the register.
As a customer, best not to interfere in this process. The hotel is following a protocol to ensure, one your safety and second the hotel’s liability.
One curious fact that still mystifies me, most hotels WILL NOT allow more than one girl to the at any one time. You can argue about this, killing the mood. Again, best to check hotel policy for this. If your thing is a group, best to check out the motels.
