Hey I got a few questions Iam going to costa rica may 1st for five nights I have a few questions Iam staying at the del rey the prez was sold out for these times.

Here are my questions whats the going rate for the girls in the room is it still 10 and can I add it to the bill and be charged on my cc at checkout?

Does the del rey still have a good exchange rate for dollars vs colonials out of a atm?

Do you have to pay for tours in cash only or can you charge them at the agency in the del rey?

What is the current depature tax price and where can I pay it besides the airport?



Where is a good place to by snacks and beer water etc to stick it in the mini bar?

Also what it the current taxi to airport rate is it 18 still?

I know these have been answered in the past but things change from time to time so Iam asking for help from people who have been there recetnly thanks?

If any one wants to hook up for a drink Iam getting there tuesday night the first and leaving that sunday this is my first time mongering in costarica so Iam excited?

I have experince in rio in tj I live 20 minutes north of the border Iam expecting costarica to be somewhere in the middle of both those.

Last I heard was still $10.00. The security man at the elevator logs your vistors and you are charged at checkout

Rate of exchange from any ATM machine is established by the card issuer not the owner of the ATM machine. Your rate will be the same no matter what ATM you use. The exchange rate at the casino cashier booth to exchange dollars to colones is a rip off. Do not use it.

Do you have to pay for tours in cash only or can you charge them at the agency in the del rey?

Tour desks accept credit cards.

What is the current depature tax price and where can I pay it besides the airport?

Tax is $26.00 and can be payed at the Banco de Costa Rica across from the Morazan Hotel one block west of the HDR



Where is a good place to by snacks and beer water etc to stick it in the mini bar?

Walk one block south to Avenida Central and 2 blocks east. There is a Mas x Menos supermarket.

Also what it the current taxi to airport rate is it 18 still?

Might be able to negotiate a better rate with a red taxi from downtown to SJO. The $18.00 is the rate from airport to downtown in an Orange airport cab.
