Two places I will never stay in again, Del Rey and Presidente, now added to my list is Mona Lisa.
Ha ha, ...don't get me started on Presidente, I had the misfortune of staying there once, the boss of our company paid for a group of us to go, and he liked Presidente because they had large suites, very luxurious, so we all had to stay there, he was paying.
I called and inquired about their chica rule, they said as long as she was wearing "respectable" clothes, they let them in. I brought one back wearing a mini skirt, not overly provocative, top covered her chest. They said no. I said I would go up to my room and bring a pair of sweatpants down and she can put them on outside (it was night) and then come in, the little runt said no, she must wear HER clothes...I am not a drinker but I was drunk that night and pissed, I let in on him and he called in the night manager, both of these shrimps were apx 5'4'', 130 to 140 lbs, even though I am in my 50's, I am a 6'0" tall 210 lb hot tempered ex joc, big and threatening to these little guys.
I ranted and raved and chewed them out for about 15 minutes, they were terrified but held their ground. I finally took her around the corner to that cheezy sleazy $10 an hour sh*t hole and released my tension...
I finally convinced the boss not to ask us to stay there ever again, we often come down in groups of 4 to 6 and stay at Del Rey or Dunn Inn, one day we'll try to stay at Sportsmans but NEVER AGAIN Presidente, and I've heard enough bad things about Mona Lisa to keep them off my list...
I don't wanna open the Presidente debate again, but what I will say is they were full of shit on their policy BEFORE it became their policy - sorry, not debataable - I know it for a fact.
No issue with a policy change - just don't continue to lie about it - and that's what they did; for months afterwards - you could not get a straight answer - until you were prevented from bringing in a guest.
Well, Phuck 'em - hope they are happy with the businessmen and ecotourists.
