planning my 1st trip to cr in feb, hitting the big 50 and want to celebrate in style. some of the posts i read says stay at hdr because thats where i might be spending most of my time , considering i'm a newbie.
will be making reserv. soon, ck'd the rates what should i be expecting for a 4-5 night stay in late feb? thanks .

Newbie? First visit? Stay at HDR. Its not even a question. Gotta go to the belly of the beast and get the full experience.

Once you get another trip under your belt, venture out. I havent stayed there for over a year, but I think rooms are 90-100 bucks, nothing special.

Definitely not HLH for a first timer, IMHO.

SL may not be an option for your dates this close now except for courtyard, but I would try if I were you. Depends on what you want. If you want the full newbie experience, it has been said go with the HDR. If you like to chill more, than the atmosphere at SL is perfect. YMMV

If you have led a sheltered life, the DR may be a huge shock to your body and brain to take for 24 hours a day for 5 days. So unless you have some experience in mongering , or are going with a experienced wing man the SL or Armistead may be better choices to get your feet wet, and it would be easer to find a wing man at those places. But even if you stay at DR, print out the map and stop at a few other places for at least some fresh air and beer.

Sportsman's all the way. There, you can find friends with similar interests who can help you navigate the many "attractions". Plus, many of the best girls are already there!

I have to agree with Pacifica55. SL was a great experience. 2 of the hottest ladies I connected came from the SL. You want an inexpensive lay, the Little Havana is a good place to stay. The Del Rey is just too busy for me.

I used to agree that HDR was the best place for a newbie, but I think Amon Plaza (Clarion) would be ok too, IF a newbie would use a taxi. Laid back, no puta's in your face 24/7. It's my choice between HDR, SL, y Morazon. Good place for a newbie to hide from the devils if he gets a lil scared .

Be a man:

don't splash around in the shallow end to the pool. Proudly walk up to the deep end scale the latter to the highest board and do a header right into the deep. Stay at the Del Rey.
