BTW Sinistra. Just kidding about the receptionist, I'm not planning to ask her out. She's all yours!
Although it does occur to me, this place might have good potential for meeting women for outside dates. Working dates I mean. The women here struck me as having a more independant, entrepreneurial nature looking to make some good money in an upscale spa. This leads me to think they may be open to an outside date if the chemistry and compensation are right. This could also prove cost-effective compared to a Madahos chica for example, in that the women at Croix are probably not making more than 100-150 pesos per hour on average. An offer of a night on the town for 600 pesos might be well-received with some of them.

[QUOTE=Esten]Although it does occur to me, this place might have good potential for meeting women for outside dates. [/QUOTE]I've already done it. About a year ago there was a totally smokin' pampita that I met there and we totally hit it off—just a beautiful girl with an obvious desire to get out of the business, meet some rich guy and live the good life. We went out several times, at first for 500 pesos for dinner and a evening, but then she wanted to be my girlfriend. Like I said, she was one of the hottest girls ever, but this wasn't going to be some kind of Pretty Woman scenario. At heart she still was a girl from the Provincia, with a low-class accent and unrefined manners. There's no way I could have introduced her to my friends.
Wow, that really makes me sound like an a**hole, doesn't it?

No Money?
I actually prefer to pay them. It lets them know that it's just a business relationship. 500 pesos for a night out followed by an all-nighter is a small price to pay for a "had a great time, now please go."

Funny you already did it though not surprised. And your criteria for "girlfriend material" is perfectly valid and in any event your own, no need to defend or excuse it!
Sid your point is well taken. But when I'm in town I don't have much time. I want a sure thing and she needs to be attractive. Depending on the chica and the situation it's possible I could pursue an "unpaid" date. I just think the odds of finding/getting what I want with minimal time and effort are much higher in a paid scenario with a working chica.

[QUOTE=Esten]I just think the odds of finding / getting what I want with minimal time and effort are much higher in a paid scenario with a working chica.[/QUOTE]For that, I really do think that Croix is a good place. It's an upscale place and I think that the staff at Croix really tries to pick girls who are relatively (relatively! Higher class. There are also far more actual Porteñas working there because they pay more and are a "legit" estabilishment. For the most part I've found the girls who work there take their jobs relatively seriously and there's a much lower "skank" factor. Mind you, I don't mind shagging a sexy skank, but I don't necessarily want to have dinner with her.

What is the best time and day to go to Croix where you have the best choice of chicas?

Update
I know that I've reported on this place before, but now I'm not able to find my previous report. This report is based on an experience about two weeks ago and another maybe a year or two ago.
This place, [url]www.croixspa.com.ar[/url], is definitely upscale. And priced accordingly. The drop is $185 and I foolishly did not ask if that includes "relax". It would be interesting to know if you can negotiate services and their costs during the presentation.
Very clean, generously sized rooms. Each with its own shower. Wider than standard camillas (massage tables) but, in my experience, without a hole for your face. No beds in the rooms.
One drawback is that you pay that upfront fee of $185 before you get to see the girls available. I was told that they would at least tell you how many girls were available. But I had made an appointment with a girl recommended to me so none of that mattered. It was her last day, by the way, so no point in giving her name or reviewing her. Worse, the girls here do not appear on any web sites. So you have no idea even who you might see in the presentation.
I think that most of the receptionists here do not speak English, but one who does speak English, and very well, is Joregelina. As of a about two weeks ago she was working in the afternoon.
Not for bottom feeders, but depending on the value you place on the accommodations you might find it a decent value.

I found three on this date.
You must have reported on another place a few weeks ago.

To update this with today's experience:
The spa touch is definitely a nice side, it feels much more "proper" than most privados or other spas. The room I was in on the 5th floor was not overly nice, but not bad either. There was a shower in the room and the standard size massage table. I was presented with 3 chicas, one of which was undoable, one ok and one really hot. I chose the latter. The fee for the room (including one hour massage and manual relax) was 300 pesos. The chica took her robe off right at the start while she explained that sex would be 350 pesos (on top of the room). I had to ask for the fee for a CBJ (250). She spoke acceptable English.
I initially chose the BJ and then upgraded to full sex, which was ok but not great. The same goes for the uninspired massage. Ok, but nothing near to a real massage. Even the handjob (with which I asked her to finish me off since I wasn't getting off otherwise) was closer to a rapid movement jerking session than to the sensual massage as for example Naelia from Prana knows how to do it.
Obviously this may have been gringo prices, and obviously I might have negotiated them down more.
I will probably not repeat: For full sex there are better places with proper beds. For a massage with HJ there are other places to try. For both cases the prices at Croix are a bit too high for my taste.

I've been to Croix and like the physical place. Quiet. Very nice rooms. Each room having it's own shower is nice. But when I've been there I've always known which girl I want to see (from reports). When you were there and choose the girl had you already paid for the room and relax before you selected the girl? That IMHO would suck because once you have paid for the room the girl has a definite advantage. If I ever go back I am going to insist on choosing and negotiating with the girl before I part with any money.

Agreed. The quiet atmosphere is nice and the place looks and feels clean. The room was nothing special as mentioned, but far from bad and it didn't feel filthy in any way.
You pay the fee before entering the room and indeed could be disappointed by the selection of girls.

Save your money
I went today. Receptionist very professional and understood English. I explained I just wanted real massage with HE. She said no problem and it is included for 300 pesos. Inflation. 4 girls came in for intros. Looks 5,7,6,7. The first 7 just peaked around door And said Hello, in such A way to make it clear she had better things to do. I chose the second 7 although she was probably about 32, just my preference.
From here it sucked. The door closed and she explained thAt she is there for se, not massage and that if I want this to be good I need to pay 350 to 400 peso now and there will be no massage just sex and her clothes off. You pay before you see girls so at this point I know I'm screwed. Her name was Carmen by the way. So I tell her massage or get manager. She give 1/2 hearted And 1/2 body massage and then start HE 20 min in session. Her attitude sucks and now she just going through motion leaving me feeling like I found the first cyber HE cyborg. Next comes deme deme blah blah and roughly translated " why don't you play with yourself" to which I replied for 300 pesos. At 32 minutes we have condom for power jack with emotionless woman who now gave me PTSD memories of exwife: just what I was looking for. I told her I had better things to do like dental extraction and she said a lot of Spanish that I think was basically fu you if you don't pay more because everyone does. So here is the best part. I tell I'm so sorry and that I will pay her for whatever she can give: Bring it baby. She then says at 32 minutes in that it is too late for her to do more! I spoke to receptionist who offered me a phone number to a manager but not a refund. Of the probably 50 such places I have been I would the place itself gets an 8 but the girl gets a negative 2. The absolute worst and dumbest I have ever met. I am not cheap but I don't pay top dollar for cheesy wines. Bottom line is the management should either not advertise the service or should do some serious education of the providers. For the record I told them to make it right or I would need to post a negative review. YMMV but I doubt it.
