So i am planning my first trip to CR and i am very excited, not my first trip doing this kind of thing though. I had two friends that went a couple months ago but i couldnt go with them and i have have been kicking myself ever since. This is a last minute thing for me so i am going solo. I plan on staying at the Del Ray for a couple nights since its my first time. If anyone is willing to meet up and drink with me that would be cool.

I dont have any reservations yet as i am still waiting on final word on when i will start my vacation, i work in Afghanistan and its the Afghan way to do things last minute. Will i have problems getting reservations at the good spots?

thanks

probably, it's hard to get in at the popular spots last minute, but maybe they will have a cancellation

I would look at the Hotel sponsors on the website, like the Dunn, the sportsman, la amistad, etc....and send them some emails explaining your situation.

some of them may even respond here to this thread.

but try sending them emails for sure.

I bet you can get in to the Hotel Castillo. I'm typing this there right now. I just showed up, without any reservation, and they had several rooms to choose from.

Webvant,

I will be in Costa Rica from the 12th to 16th. Staying at the Del Ray.

My first trip also. My wingman and I would love to throw a few beers back at the Blue Marlin, while we oggle in utter fascination at what lays in store for us.

Safe travels,

Jonesy
