CR is now implementing 4G. Many parts of SJO now have 4g and the rest will be converted soon. AT&T has also said they are coming to CR. No problems here with communications. And Joker99 you are correct, CR is not the USA. Everyone has a choice where to live. Your logic has precluded CR.

I don't understand the slow response, if you only have 8 rooms. You are either booked or checking emails to book. Here is another thought, Maybe due to DISNEY coming they are trying to change clientele to suit families. Anyone from Florida and between 30-55 years old knows what I am talking about! I have made a different arrangement as a back up. IMO they still haven't opened yet!

I got a email from them about 1 hour ago, stated booked.

2 weeks ago I had no problem making a reservation for February 2014.
Kim answered my email. Jason answered my PM and I spoke to Jenny in reception too.
Jeff Brant confirmed my reservation.
Do not understand why you are getting no response.

Phone and internet is fine and dandy in SJ? That's been my experience.

So, Scores not answering email requests for avails 2+ days is on them. Also, I called both their numbers last night at 8:30 and got a recorded message on their US area code MagicJack number and no answer at their CR #. The bloom is off the rose. To them, Email=gringos. I hope they do well with their new target.

But, out in the CR boonies, internet and cell is a different story even with the best phones. I think you saw a few months ago the CR govt overseeing agency (Sutel?) fined one of the carriers--I think Kolbi--for not delivering 3g like it claimed to certain areas.

Quepos is fine. Go to the nearby beach at Manuel Antonio eg, on the beach itself no problem, assuming you have a 3g phone, any phone earlier, completely forget about it. But up on the road depending where in MA you are, you can be standing or driving in one spot and get no bars. Move 100 feet, 3 bars. Common knowledge. It's up against a small mountain range. In Naranjito, 10 km east of Quepos, OK to very good. In Londres, 5 clicks further east but closer to the western slope of the major CR mountain range, good luck. People at times standing on their roofs to catch a little from Quepos.

And not limited to that area. Parts of Guanacaste the same. http://news.co.cr/sutel-promises-better ... ies/30455/

Don't mean to dump on CR. At my weekend place in the states, 0 bars inside the house, 1-2 bar outside after 5 minutes even though the ATT coverage map says I should get full coverage. Same for the few neighbors I have within a mile. We're roughly 2 miles from a major interstate which are target areas for cell providers. They are offering me a booster to hook into my non ATT wireless internet modem for $99 on 2 year contract. Yep, they want me to pay them to use my internet to deliver what they advertise I should be getting. But not just an ATT problem. Same with any other carrier at my location. I have to call forward my cell to my hard line at the farm when I get off the interstate.

The point is you can have 5g, but that doesn't do squat if you are in a "dimple"--radio engineers term for a hard to penetrate area--I'm heavily wooded in a hilly area. I don't know what the term is for if they deliberately don't try to cover an area.

So even when I am in the city, I presume that's why I sometimes don't get CR emails or why my foto's don't go thru (and vice versa) to/from rural CR, and very often cannot connect via telephone--either a straight busy signal or a computer message that says the country you are trying to reach is unavailable, or it goes straight to their voicemail, sometimes for 2-3 days. And that goes for both my cheapie MagicJack system or my major carrier landline. I am in one of those modes right now--3 days now straight to voicemail to 4 different rural CR people all of whom have 3g phones. Quepos? I always get thru to a landline or cell.

I heard the rumor as well.....

I heard you were the one giving Jason the BJ

IMHO, Admin 3 should deletes these comments. I think civility has its place here.

It not clear to me if the original posts are jokes or meant as an attack. However, I would caution posters to be careful that discussion not degrade into personal attacks.

The word I got today is Jason and Kim are in the states for Xmas. Someone (a Tico employee from what I understand) is posting on the "Foro de Costa Rica" for Scores. Nothing against Jeff, BUT!!!! He does not seem to be much of a "manage a business" type of guy. That, and the fact that he has from the time he became a owner/manager of HLH refused to post on CRT ( ). Some have defended him saying he was not "Computer savy" and did not like using them. Funny thing is he has a Facebook account which he uses often, and he has at least in the past, posted several times on a certain unmentionable other site!! Maybe he just does not like even answering emails or PMs form CRT members!!

It was a poor effort for a joke I thought to be funny and that any reasonable person should have caught when it was read. However , I now think that not all people interpret things with a like mind . So with that I apologize and I am going to move on.

Gentlemen,

I apologize for any slow response or missed emails. Yes, we are traveling and have been in and out of wifi, and yes I have had issues with PM, and unfortunately yes we've had on site phone issues and are applying for a new landline phone application. I believe I am caught up on my emails and will continue checking them, but for the fastest response please use reservations@costaricascores.com and either Jenny or Paola will respond to you in 24 hours or less. Jeff is still in CR and managing the hotel while we are traveling.

Saludos,

Kim
