Add another one to the list that will be making my way down to Costa Rica in 12 days . I've been browsing the boards absorbing plenty of info but now I decided to make my presence known. This will be my first trip to the CR as I'm meeting friends where two of them has been there before. They are staying at the Del Rey and the Sleep Inn. I originally made reservations at the DR. Between my experience of being a frequent traveler to Rio de Janeiro and reading these forums...... I decided to relocate to the SL. The apartment that I rented while in Rio on my very first trip was in the belly of the beast being right next to Help Discoteca (R.I.P as the government had it shut down in Jan), I'm fully aware of the nuisances that can occur. The room I want (El Rey) was booked. Only the standard large rooms by the courtyard were available (is this a good room?). Well enough typing, any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sr, Safado jaja

DNice757: I am partial to the SL chicas over those at DR..just a better vibe there for me.

I think you made a wise choice moving. The SL bar closes at midnight so...... any self respecting monger isn't going to be sleeping at midnight anyhow so the noise.... I wouldn't think is a problem. If any thing the noise from the bar may help cover the screams coming from inside your room! LOL

I agree with everyone, I walk, during daylight, from the SL to DR all the time when I'm down there never had any kind of problem or even seen a problem. Try not to wear shorts, flowered shirts and socks with sandels. Don't look around in bewidlerment and act like you know where you are going and what you are doing even if you don't. You'll be fine.

As for the "looks" of the DR chicas compared to the SL chicas. There are just more chicas at the DR. I, personally, like the vibe and the more "user friendly" attitude of the SL girls compared to the "show me the money" attitude of the Columbian hotties at the DR. Bide your time and don't just hop on the first thing that comes along and you'll find your hottie at SL and chances are you'll have a better time.

Don't listen to a thing I've said. I don't even listen to me but if you do..... You'll be fine.
