Before leaving the hotel room, I always got the cash I was going to pay the chica and put it into my pocket, and left my wallet and rest of my cash and other stuff back in the hotel room, then escorted the chica out of my room, locked the door, and either took the chica to my rental car if I was going to give her a ride somewhere, or outside in the general area of the hotel, or otherwise somewhere else, where there would be other third-party witnesses around, and preferably a few other gringos or hotel management people, rather than simply Dominican motoconcho guys, LOL, in case anything went awry and a chica was tempted to go crazy. Of course, I still had some problems, but no chica stole from me, broke anything of mine, or otherwise caused a scene after I paid her, and that was so even when I paid less because she had refused to perform as originally agreed. The worst problem I had was a chica wouldn't get out of my car right away. But she eventually did, and it was only a momentary delay.
The wisdom here of Beads, moshy2K, bentwire et al. should be followed as best as possible by newbies. I appreciate their advice much more after my first set of trips this past summer.
