just wanted to say hi. got my vip membership and i am planning my first trip to costa rica, probably around the first week of october. i am gonna try to get a room at either the SL or DR. any question that i had was answered in "oranges" costa rica for dummies post, but if anybody has any info or more helpful advice, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

If you want a room at the SL, book now. Otherwise, Oranges post covers everything you need to know for a first trip.

If you stay in the HDR, go for a higher level floor so you won't hear as much casino noise.

Enjoy!

Welcome.

As a virtual newbie myself I can only say you will not be the same when you return stateside. If your experience is anything like mine was, you might as well start planning your return trip now.

One of the things I didn't do that I wish I had done more of my first trip was take the time to check out more lodging options than I did. You know, get a couple tours of places I didn't stay at. Seems my first choice for a return trip books pretty far in advance as far as lodging is concerned.

What a resource this board has proven to be. Read, read, read, if you haven't already. If you have, well, read some more, lol. This is a great group of guys, and the help doesn't stop here. You'll find CRT'ers lots of places you will visit in CR, and to a man, the ones I met were more than willing to share both information and camaraderie. Damned if I didn't score a couple GREAT free cigars to boot.

Welcome to the board. Keep a level head and you will enjoy!!!!! Hell, I never keep a level head......dive in, the water is great.

Welcome to CRT at the dr try to get room 321,421,521 these rooms are quiet the sl book early

A wise man once said on this forum, something similar to "Dont make any hard plans, Costa Rican has a way of changing your plans" . That thought played out in my head three or four times during my first trip to CR. What it means is go with the flo. Let the day unfold and enjoy. Dont be bound by any schedule. Welcome

again, thanks for the info. i got my plane ticket and my room at the SL. i will be heading there OCT. 3rd and leaving the 7nth (i know, short trip). now i am just counting down the days. thanks!

You think 4 nights is a short trip.
You will be lucky to get 5 hours of sleep total in these 4 nights.

You'll see why I say that real soon
