Arriving on Friday, booked a junior suite for 2 and asked if it was ok to bring girls and they said yes, but heard mixed reviews. Can someone who stayed there recently confirm if they are girl friendly? Thanks! |

Doubt it will get you very far but better then nothing when they turn your "guests" away.

The answer is no bueno on the chicas. I called reservations today to ask and they said no guests allowed in room for security reasons. Dunn Inn it is. |

Oh, so that's what its called      Glad you doubble checked and posted back - I went there in Jan to satisfy the doubting Thomas' in my group - and were recognised, greeted warmly, and they very sheepishly told my friends (I knew the deal....) sorry, no ladies allowed. Even based on your first post, I highly doubted things changed in 3 months - one of the problems in the past has been (as you experienced) getting an honest response to the question - lately, they have been telling the truth; as a rule, Costa Ricans dislike confrontation and telling a negative in absolutes - but they would have done you no favor by having you labor under a misconception. Thanks for posting back and doing yourself the bigest favor by changing hotels!

You'll like the Dunn Inn. I stayed at the Presidente a number of times awhile back. Nice but now I can say Dunn Inn is much more comfortable. |

The hotel itself is great, but I couldn't even bribe the security guy to let me bring a girl in. Consider the Sportsmaen's Lounge or the Freeebird or even the Del Ray, Morazan, or Sleep Inn. |
