What a ripoff.
Whores down there only cost $20 per day. That ain't no joke. Legal age whores - good looking ones too - are dirt cheap mainly because they can not compete with all the child prostitution that goes on down there. People pimp out kids for sex. If you think I am kidding, you will realize it as soon as you arrive at the airport and encounter big ass signs about 10 feet tall in multiple areas that instruct you not to have sex with children while down here.
I have been to Costa Rica multiple times and I have hired a twenty three year old for the day for $15. I didn't have sex with him as that was not my intent, but if I wanted to, I could have with no objections from him. He carried my bags, set up my beach gear, stayed there to watch after my stuff while I was in the water (the monkeys are thieves down there), rubbed oil on me, went to pick up my food when I ordered out at night and drove me around in his car. Like a slave.
