D’Pelufos is located in San Padro, on the main highway, a short taxi ride from Gringo Gulch. It’s a small dedicated building designed for a strip-sex show. The small parking lot and entrance is dirt and desolate. You enter an interlock with a glass window where you pay $12. You are patted down by a lovely chica. I have heard that for an extra fee you can sit at the stage. I sat at the stage with no fee mentioned. No tipping takes place. The arrangement in the theatre is rows of small tables with a chair on each side. There are lots of waitress and bar maids. Also lots of drinking by a rowdy fun loving crowd. The long bar to the right of the stage fills up first. The hours are 10PM to 2AM. The show starts at 10 and ends at 2. The girls are very attractive and extraordinarily talented. The announcer is Mexican and terrific. He really adds to the show. This is a real show. There is a lot of pole work and dance. There are some sex toys and insertions in all orifices. The patrons are brought up to the high stage for hands on rubbing of lotions and lubricants. At midnight sharp the lesbian show starts. It is quite good. Then there is a break for lap dances for tips. If you give then two dollars you get a two dollar dance, more for five dollars and so on. This goes on for a long time until the dollars run out. Then back to the show. After a while a volunteer is selected ‘against his will’ to be humiliated on stage. This includes a chair some ropes and two girls.

There is a square room at the back of this small building with chairs lining the walls and a very small stage. This is where the dollar lap dances take place. There are two private rooms that are available during the show for god knows what. Usually small groups of men go back with one girl. They announce that these are private shows. But after all this is Costa Rica so I’m sure that anything goes. The place is mostly locals it seems safe. There is lots of security. I would strongly recommend this as a must see while in San Jose.
