I was unaware that Brother Bilko acts as tour guide. He'd be great. Brother Pops makes a business as tour guide for all daytime/nighttime activities plus whatever downtime activities. He's not a cost, he's an investment in saving time, money and aggravation. Here's his genuine Website: http://www.popsguideservice.net/
Brother Orange's post is THE 1-stop source on how to conduct yourself in CR. Don't be put off by the title--I read it once a year to refresh my memory:

SL could be an easy spot to stay and not leave. Although you should get out and see other spots. I go by there most evenings now for a beer and it really is the perfect spot. Plenty of tv's with sports, good beer prices and quite a few hot chicas. Saw one last night that seemed like the total package. absolutely hot and attentive to the guy she was with. Down the hill at the HLH is the spot to go to stretch your legs and get a good mp experience. I hear the rooms are pretty nice too.
