Five of us (2 second timers and 3 newbies) in town. Any recommendations besides Del Ray/Key Largo, sportsmans, HLH? We had a wonderful guide NYC Robert last time. Have been reading the forums with great interest. TIA!

If your staying at the Presidente, I would recommend you stick to the Massage Parlors unfortunately. It has been well documented here that the Presidente does NOT want our business and has banned most if not all working girls...

You have many other options if you wish to change... See this thread...

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16357

Specifically this part....

Before going to CR, you should reserve a hotel room. While you may be able to get a room at many places just walking up, you will be locked out of the more popular (& monger friendly) hotels. Some of them fill up months in advance. Make sure the hotel allows female "guests" if you're planning to bring girls back to your room. Some hotels do not allow working girls at all, others charge high fees per "guest".

Some of the monger and chica-friendly hotels include (incomplete list):
1. Sportsmen’s Lodge (SL) http://www.sportsmenscr.com (Preferred hotel of many CRT'ers; frat like atmosphere; large sports bar; lots of tv's (incl all PPV events-boxings, MMA, football); rooms range from $60-150/night (less CRT VIP discount); indy chicas work the bar from morning till closing; free breakfast is only fresh fruit and toast)
2. Hotel La Amistad http://www.hotelamistad.com (a block from Sportsmens; very nice hotel; rooms start at $69 (less CRT VIP discount); also a favorite of many CRT'ers; no chicas working on-site; free breakfast is good)
3. Hotel Del Rey (HDR or DR) http://www.hoteldelrey.com (bars in the hotel are where chicas can be found literally 24 hours/day, the rooms are pretty bad, uncomfortable, old, most would not recommend staying there-only visit the bars to pick up chicas, no CRT discount)
4. Hotel Little Havana (HLH), formerly Zona Blue (ZB) http://www.hotellittlehavana.com (owned/operated by CRT'er, hotel attached to massage parlor, or vice versa, recently opened, rooms start at $69/night (less CRT VIP discount), 2br suites available, quickly becoming a favorite)
5. Hotel Castillo http://www.hotelcastillo.biz (budget hotel; starts at $38/nt (w CRT VIP discount); very basic; free breakfast sucks)
6. Hotel Dunn Inn http://www.hoteldunninn.com (renovated rooms, start at about $70; new large sportsbar opened feb 2011; good food but pricey; CRT discount)
7. The Freebird Hotel http://www.thefreebirdcr.com (nice hotel close to 2nd ave; 2 blocks from HDR; most rooms share bathrooms; but has 2 suites; rooms start at about $40/night (CRT discount))
8. Hotel Morazan http://www.costaricamorazan.com (budget place $45-50/night; ok rooms-basic; reports of smoke smell; no CRT discount)
9. Nuevo Johnson (budget hotel @ $15/night) http://www.hotelnuevojohnson.com (very very basic, bad part of town, not recommended unless on very tight budget)

-There a several hotels that offer discounts to VIP members. Staying only a few nights will save you enough $$$ for another session. Of the ones listed above, #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 offer a CRT discount. Also be advised that some hotels charge a “guest” fee (aka chica fee) to bring up a working girl to your room. It ranges from $10-25 per girl. In these hotels, you have to sign them with reception as you enter and they tack on the charges to your bill.

Chica fee hotels:
-Del Rey ($10)
-Sleep Inn (next to Del Rey) ($25)
-Holiday Inn ($80 :shock: :shock: :shock: )--they don't want guests bringing hookers in.
-Nuevo Johnson ($3-4)

No chica fee hotels:
-Sportsmens
-Amistad
-HLH
-Castillo
-Morazan
-Dunn Inn

Hotels that [b]DO NOT WANT
our kind of business include:
-Radison
-Hotel Grand Costa Rica-WORKING GIRLS NOT ALLOWED IN THE HOTEL AT ALL
-Holiday Inn-hence the $80 guest fee
-Balmoral
-Best Western
-Hotel Presidente (Prez)- No longer offering CRT discount. They have a dress code for chicas (no revealing clothing), and a 1 chica at a time rule. They don't want hookers in their hotel either.[/b]

Wow, big bad change :cry:

Tried getting through to HLH, but Verizon didn't like it. Does the website have a texting capability I missed? Only interactive part I found was for booking a room.

BTW, thanks for the information. You saved us from a potentially very unhappy CR visit.

my friend contacted el Presidente and they state they require pre-approval of any guests. I guess if they don't approve, it's a bad day. Still working on my friend about back up hotel reservations. :twisted:
