You say 'old news' but I heard it firsthand from folks two days ago. No one was date specific but when you hear enough people taking about it then you start to think there is some validity. The ownership is Taormina so not sure they would have one brother type hotel and not do the same to HDR. Without HDR the best talent even during the week is Jaco.
The links to the Hotel del Rey on TripAdvisor and Google funnel to the domain avenidadelrey was created in Feb 2020 and last updated in Feb 2021. The old domain delreyhotel is also active and responding to pings. The old nameservers NS1 snd NS2 are still registered at ENOM.com (a domain reseller) but avenidadelrey is with godaddy. There is absolutely no content to advertise or book a room, no activity except for a couple of guys sometimes sitting in the old lobby. The building has been sitting idle for 2 years, no AC, Electrical, or Plumbing maintenance. December is 25 days away and we are approaching national elections in February. But hey, it could happen, you know how fast things can happen in Costa Rica.
PS: Word on the sam streets is that La Fortuna will be hosting the Olympic Winter Games in 2030. (If enough people start talking about it, it might come true.)
