I posted down below on this...but even if you stay at Amistad ..SL is a TWO minute walk and HDR is a 15 minute walk and 5 minute ride. And for a tip..I think you would enjoy the fellowship at Amistad better and you can always bring girls in and out no problem with ease. Trust me when I say after doing CR for a few years and 10 trips the break from getting trolled upon is welcome, however your first time will be exciting and I know you will want the action. Cross off El rey and cross off Morazán.

Hello fellas, I'm 24 years old, Spanish speaker, first time monger and currently planning a week long trip to San Jose this September! I know when I'm going, what I want to do, but not where to stay. From what little I have gathered so far, I have three options. El rey, Amistad, and Morazan.
La Amistad: The rooms look great, fair rates and a welcoming atmosphere, but the ticas are nowhere on the premises and I don't want to walk for more than 5 minutes with one or get a taxi every single round. This hotel was my first choice. I wanted to rent a master suite ( or any room with a Jacuzzi ) and whatsapp one or two ticas per day, but now that idea is losing its luster after reading some of your opinions about the CR backpage; please prove me wrong and show me that the backpage is a decent alternative.
Morazan: For its location, rates and superior room quality to the king next door, el morazan is a solid second choice, going for the gold if the backpage is all trash. Any intel on the morazan's master suite and overall experience is welcomed ( I NEED a room with a Jacuzzi lol ) . If I stay at the morazan , is it as easy as walking next door to del rey, pick a tica and walk out 2 minutes later?
El REY: Last but looking the least is the tica oasis of San Jose. The convenience factor is attractive, but the rooms aren't; the only decent one is the master suite but is way overpriced for what it offers. For those who frequent del rey, room-wise, was your stay bearable?
