Right next to the Del Rey hotel is what looks almost like a residential house, white with blue (I think) trim. Does anybody know what it is?

Ok then, since some of you seem to think you know something about everything,,why don't you just stop by and figure it out ? Let us know...

Is that the old Chinese Place next to the sleep in parking lot? I don't remember any house right next to the DR.

LK, there is a little house between the HDR and the Colonial Casino. I noticed it way back on my 1st trip (and still want to live there.) Talk about location, location, location.
It's very well kept and gated, I figure it's part of the HDR property, (pretty sure it's actually connected to the hotel) and maybe where the one of owners stays? I've heard the owners work in 3 month shifts and wondered if they just stayed in the casa while in town, although I'm sure they all have a palace in the hills somewhere aound SJO too.
Shouldn't be too hard to find out, somebody down there ask the bartenders.
And see if it's for sale!

In my 25+ trips to CR, I have never even noticed the place. And I've walked to the Colonial uncountable number of times. But, now that it is mentioned, I know where you are all talking about. Be interested to know what the place is.

Okay, I will make it my mission in life to find out. Then I can die happy.

I have noticed it before and thought it would be a great spot for the Policia to have a Sattelite station

Thought I had a pic of it, I'll post if I find it, must be one somewhere. It has nice landscaping and I think even a tiny manicured grass lawn and red tile roof. I'd be surprised if it's over 1000 sq. ft. but hard to tell how deep it goes back towards the Sleep Inn.
Maybe that's where the well-dressed shoe shine guy lives?
We're counting on you Bilko!

It is not for sale guys believe me . At least not when I looked into it. I looked into this long ago & the guy will not sell to anyone I heard. Cool Idea Pacoloco but I lhad the same one years ago. I thought it would be a perfect location for my fur lined Zippy's Glazed Donut shop. Just the right size & heavenly location ! Just think when you die what a short trip to heaven you would have .

In my inimitable style, I put it on the back burner and forgot about it. HOWEVER, having been reminded, I shall try to make some inquiries. I'm too shy to go knock on the door, though. But I will ask bartenders and so forth.

Well I solved a little bit of the mystery today about the house in between the Del Rey and Colonial. As I was walking out of the Colonial this afternoon there were two men at the gate to the house. I stopped and asked in my Spanglish who the hell lives there. He said the the man that lives there is not affliated with either the hotel or casino. As he was telling me this a black SUV Isuzu drove up and out walks this 50'ish Costa Rican I said Hola and he said Hola and the gentelmen at the front gate walked him up to his door. So it appears to be just a residential house in a great location. I wonder what that house is worth????$$$$$$
