Morazon safe? I had just left their casino....this was back in around 2006. I got attacked by two men dressed up as women and a driver of a car. It was about 30 feet of the entrance on the ave central entrance to the hotel. He came up and grabbed me from behind and went into my back pocket. Fortunately, I did not lose a lot of my dinero since I kept most of it in my shoe. I had a small billy club in my pants and after I backed heeled his knee I was able to break the grip and then knocked the shit out of the second one's head that was trying to grab me. They then ran to the car parked at the curb.
Get this. There were bystanders on the street but no one came to offer assistance. Don't expect help from the locals....most do not want to get involved.
It's sad that CR has so much crime. When I traveled there in the 70's - 80's I could walk anywhere alone in the gulch at midnight to 2am and never have a problem. Be careful out there. Walk with friends and keep an eye out.
Agreed, my point exactly. This is a rookie asking for the SAFEST hotel, not the cheapest. If he and his crowd come down here and have their fun running around all over during the daytime then recuse themselves to the Del Rey at night in search of love, they don't have to find themselves fending off these types of attacks.
Even if no threat of this nature comes upon them, guaranteed they still will be hassled by thugs and beggars on that lonely dark stroll as they are trying to focus on the ho walking with them. For a few bucks more, stay in the center of the action, have a blast and minimize your risk of getting your ass beat and your wallet lifted as part of your vacation experience...
If you're an old pro on a budget or frugal by nature and are experienced in maneuvering these streets, by all means, the Morazon is an option, but enduring the hassle and danger of night time movement and staying in a dreary boring place is not a good choice for a rookie looking for the experience of a wild and crazy exciting vacation that gives him the greatest probability of returning home in one piece.
