Hi guys,

Been lurking here awhile soaking up the information. I visit Thailand once per year in January but have the opportunity to fly to CR for free on my air miles.

Planning on arriving May 24th departing on May 30th

I was gonna list all my questions in one post but here is one I have.

From doing my research I know the smoking laws are very strict in CR.

I've always been respectful smoker around others to not bother anyone.

Does the Sportsmans Lodge or Hotel Castillo have a smoking area?

Thanks!

Smoking area is outside the front doors on the sidewalk

It is also probably ok to smoke in the little yard outside the clubhouse rooms and the patio outside the mansion wing.

Thanks for all the replies gents.

I will just go stand out front where I am supposed to.

Going to book my award ticket now and see how that goes.

Technically you are supposed to be 15 meters from a building entrance (or so our attorney said).

And, that 15 meters is from the front gate, not from the doors into the actual hotel. Under the C.R. smoking ban, anything within the property (i.e. inside the walls) is a no smoking area. Therefore, you'd need to be halfway between the SL gate and either corner to be "legal."

I was told that the little patio off the clubhouse, and the deck outside the Mansion are no smoking zones....that being said, I have smoked a time or two in those areas...

Technically, the rooms are also supposed to be non-smoking, but many hotels simply look the other way.

What really bugs me is that you can't sit in a city park and have a smoke. Supposedly, the only outdoor smoking allowed is when a pedestrian is walking and smoking at the same time (i.e. you're not supposed to loiter in one place and smoke, even if it's out on the sidewalk).

Hope this helps. I smoke cigarettes, the occasional cigar and even an occasional pipeful; I haven't really been hassled, although a couple times police officers have politely explained the rules to me.

Sweet slender lady named Tatiana won the top prize of $250 plus bragging rights for the year.
No public photos of the event due to "local social media concerns" of the contestants. 12 beauties and a packed house made it a great event. Try to make it in person next year!

I really want to attend one of these events. Totally understand about the photos. Is there a date for MISS SL which usually is in late August?
