Does anyone have any opinion about the deluxe rooms at HDR? I will be staying there next month and it seems like if you wanna stay there....everyone says get as close to the top as you can. The deluxe rooms are on the 6th floor. Your thoughts on:
Are they pretty decent rooms?
Are they very loud?
Any other thoughts?

I think the hotel Del Rey is a good place to stay. Others have different opinions and I respect them all.
The Delrey has been my hotel of choice since 1997. I will be staying there on my next trip.
As for a deluxe room. The only difference in a deluxe and a standard is floor space. The deluxe is a good bit bigger and comes with table and chairs.
The bathrooms are pretty much the same. The rooms on the 6th floor are not all deluxe rooms. The sixth floor is a unique floor.
More about that in a minute. The 2nd through 5th floors or exactly the same. By that I mean room 214 will be exactly the same as room 314 and so on up to the fifth floor.
The 6th is completely different. It contains two suites, a run of many sweets ( more accurately described as rooms with a balcony ) and an assortment of deluxe and standard. All floors also contain economy rooms. Very small no outside window.
As for how loud are they. Third floor and progressively so as you move up gets less noisy. Would still recommend earplugs what ever room you get. It's not a peaceful little hotel off in the hills you're in the center of the universe as for as pay for play in Central America goes. So you get what you would expect.
Are they decent rooms. Yes. Can you find a better room yes. Can you find a better place to have the decent room? No.
My opinion: it's a comfortable claim well staffed hotel with an unbeatable attraction on the ground floor. By the way you will love the 24 hour room service.
Any questions feel free to PM me. If I'm feeling energetic I may even send you some photographs of the different rooms. I've stayed in just about all of them.
Enjoy the good ones and forget about the bad ones.
