Hi,
GREAT site, lots of info... ive been cramming it all in for the last few days.
I booked 2 nights at the Del Ray after reading the reviews on yahoo travel. Im goin with a buddy that was there once.. the next to days im thinkin the dunn or SL ( or should i cancel the Del Ray and just stay at the dunn or SL the whole time ? )
any last min advice, would be great
i CANT WAIT !!!
ty : )

You should just stay at the SL. But if you don't have a reservation by now, chances are its too late. Its worth checking though..

yes, stay at the Dunn or SL...

visit, just visit, the del rey.

in fact, stay at anyplace other than the del rey or presidente....


look at the sponsor hotels on this site....plus you get discounts at them....

if you join...it is worth it

you are already investing time and money

THANKYOU all 4 the great advise...


Before i start to panic ( gonna see if i can cancel DR reservation) Can someone please tell me why i wouldnt want to stay at the Del ray ???

besides the obvious reasons like supporting this site ( had i known eairler!)

ty ty ty !!!!

There is a chica fee to take a girl to your room. 10 bucks I think.

ydogi since you're only in town 2 nights- if you want to be in the center of the largest selection of women and saving a few bucks isn't a big deal then just stay at the HDR.

again THANKYOU !!! : )

i am staying 4 nights , thinkin of the dunn or SL, ( or possibly another part of CR) for the last 2 nights

u guys are great !!! i will report back and mostlikely become a member

the guys on independentgirls.com refferred me to here ( great site if your in S Florida ! )

i will read this site all day today...

u guys are great mucho ty's !

yes, the del rey has the 10 dollar chica fee and cannot compare to places like the Dunn Inn, Sportsmans, ect...for quality.

the del rey is the belly of the beast, but it is sort of like living/staying in the middle of a crowded area with all the hustlers, scumbags either inside or right outside the doors...and I do mean right outside the doors.

You won't be able to step outside the place without being besieged by the crowds of dirtballs waiting to harass you...blood pressure offers, fake cuban cigars, rip off taxis, drugs pushers, pickpockets, beggers, outright stickup dudes...you'll think you're in some sort of hell.

while it is always nice to see the first time, the novelty wears off fast.

on the other hand, staying at one of the other hotels, offers you the chance for a respite from all the crap..with the option of diving back in for a visit whenever you want too.

now, lots of guys swear by the del rey, visit San Jose, stay there all the time, in fact sometimes never even leave the place....they do have an excellent tour/excursion desk.

but believe me, there are tons and tons of little darlings all over San Jose; you do not have to suffer the del rey 24/7 to meet them....not to mention the insane (by CR standards) prices they will quote you.

but hey, try staying there a few days, then check out some of the other hotels....i can't believe there are not vacant rooms at any of them...the Sportsman is often booked, but if you give them enough notice, i'm sure they can find something.

you'll want to visit places like SL or the Dunn anyway for a drink, sometimes rooms become available due to cancellations/early departures, etc...

it's not like you will not have a good time at the del rey, it is just after you stay somewhere else, you will think 'why did i stay at the del rey in the first place?'

go for it, then you can (probably will) be advising others the same.

i seem to recall there was one brother that stayed at both and actually preferred the del rey...he said the Sportsmans was too sedate or something....oh no, now i remember,,,the coronas were flat!

and then there are some that would not stay at any of them...they prefer cheaper, more modest accomindations....say 10 dollars a night at some of the Tico Hotels like the Nuevo Johnson.

and, if you ever read enough of this website, you know you always have the option of staying at the CardBoard Inn, Inc.

remember, there is no such thing as a plan in CR and being able to stick to it...

have fun! and welcome.

We have afew rooms left during your trip if you want to do a couple of nights here at the Dunn INN after your DR stay. Just pm me, call 2222-3232 or stop by (about 5 blocks from the DR) and take a look at the rooms.

sounds great... i was just looking at the web site and the rooms were like 360$$ is that correct? i belive im payin like 12o at DR for a delux room

I am not sure how you got $360. Our deluxe queens are $59 and our suite is $99. You get a 10% discount on the room and food/beverage and no chica fess if you are a CRT VIP member. The $39 CRT membership pays for itself in two or three days down here for most guys.

BKTUNA/Boyd

great thanks ! maybe i was looking at the wrong site...hmmm...ill be calling u soon...

now im thinkin i should get my own room too... im gonna try to cancel Del Ray and book at your place... ill be back...

Ydogi
Join up get a room at the Dunn Inn Bk will help you out

And take a deep breath before you explode

Best of luck on your trip
