I recently got back for a quick 2 night stay at the Hotel La Amistad and I am writing this update because as you all well know that many many times places that become too popular lose the customer service that made it that way.
Good News!!!!

La Amistad is better than ever.

The menu has some great choices and I was as satisfied as before. ( PORK CHOPS BABY!!!) lol
I love the all inclusive package and I hope Matt does really well and keeps this going.
I did try Hazel's massage or whatever her name was

since it was half price. and to be honest this was my very first NON sexual Massage in all my years in Cost Rica.
at first all I could think about was
"NO HAPPY ENDING"
"NO HAPPY ENDING" 
which lasted about 13 min into the massage then I slowly drifted off into slumber land and experienced such a level of relaxation that I have not felt in years!!!
I awoke with a little embarrassment since I am positive I was snoring although she denied it.. sweet thing she is
My body felt so relaxed that my testicles descended if you can understand what I mean to say. my balls when I went to take a shower actually lowered and dangled instead of being so high up in the sac.
now that is relaxation my brothers!!!!!

It was a great experience and promised myself to make this the beginning of every return visit as well before I have to leave.
imagine being so excited about a NO HAPPY ENDING MASSAGE!!!!!
I could be wrong on this because I never measured but withing an hour i was getting a happy ending massage at HLH

and I felt I gushed more juice than I have in years.. don't know if relaxing adds to this at all.
now I just read that there will be a FREE shuttle service to Jaco so for $79 not only I have my room and free meals all day and drinks.. but now I can go to the beach for FREE???
how is this even possible???
I am beginning to think that La Amistad is Government subsidized.
sure enough I just booked my next trip
October 21-Nov 1st Halloween Hermanos!!!
not everything was perfect.. my air conditioner was on the fritz- but was upgraded to a new room A.S.A.P.
great customer service.
anyway.. La Amistad was the highlight of my trip with a few additional trips to HLH which were also pretty good.
thanks for a great time.
