I have a booking with the Holiday Inn but after more research, it looks like there’s an entry fee and the Castillo or sportsman Lodge or Taormino doesn’t, which is the best outta those 3? Is the castillo all inclusive worth it? Need answers asap
Stayed at The Amistad in one of their Kings between Christmas and New Years. It is about a block away from the Sportsmen's, it was inexpensive, nice, and quiet. I did hear I was lucky that it was quiet since the train runs right by there but wasn't running that week because of the Holidays.
https://hotelamistad.com/ Stayed at The Sportsmen's in El Lion room which was friggin spectacular! Loved that suite more than any place I've staying in CR so far. Worth the little extra per night for the quiet, roominess, hot tub, and a nice working desk area too.
Going to try the Castillo this time around next month (8 Feb to 12 Feb) with its all inclusive. Note that the owners of the Castillo also own The Amistad too. They will do a CASH discount too.
Taormina is really nice but I heard there's a fee to take a girl up to your room. $10? One of the locals told me this and I didn witness girls having to go to the front desk with guys before going to the elevator. Not positive on this though.
The Hotel Dunn Inn is across the street from the Taormina and does not charge for additional guests. It's very nice and has a nice restaurant downstairs too.
