That incident at the SL sure sounds like the guest was trying to set up the SL. As far as I know, every guest room at the SL has a safe. I realize some people don't think room safes are really secure, but using a backpack instead!!!! Since the guest knew exactly what was missing from the safe, he must have made an intentional effort to put it in the backpack. This is a good example of the first-class operation Bill has in place.

i'm sure the same guy that was ready to ruin you will step up and admit his mistake on the board Bill. People of strong character are like that. :roll:
Quick someone get us a random link so we can all better understand the nuance of what transpired here.

I agree Bill has created a nice experience for guests and girls......I also think that almost all Bill's guests visit the del rey/key largo at some point in there stay.
I get it you hate the del rey but until something comes along that really competes with it that's where the majority of girls will work.



My points were simple - the HDR is not that great but the competition is worse

I confirm that Bill has done an excellent job, and deserves every bit of success he has achieved (its not easy to make a go of it in his business - anywhere - but he has and should be praised for what he achieved - period

My bitches against the HDR notwithstanding - I think its a shitty hotel, the last time the rooms were renovated and /or redecorated Jimmy Carter was in the Whitehouse (and not the one in Escazu :? :lol: :? ) :roll: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Plus, I think they charge US prices for their food and drinks - their right to do so, as so many business catering to the gringo do.

But my main gripe is really with guys that never expand their horizons past the HDR, and the KL - some of these guys would have you believe they "know" Costa Rica - they don't - I think - hell, I know - that so much exists outside of the walls of the pink palace that more guys should experience.

I've talked to jerks that (let me say.....if you like the HDR, that's your right - what I'm talking about here are guys that know nothing, but think they do) swear by the place - its the only place to meet girls in San Jose - its great, on and on ad naseum - its the idea that some will never expand past the place - and that's OK - just STFU about how great it is, and how much you know about CR - that is the thing that gets me about the place.

Why thank you very much, Mike :) :) :) don't be so surprised - some don't like what I post, or the way I do it, but few argue with the quality of the information, or the way its expressed (as far as proper English, etc)

(To paraphrase that line in the movie Die Hard, when the chief crook says to the Japanese executive, something about the joys of a classical education.....or some such)

Our brother Jazzbo would have a youtube link for this quote. I know, don't hit me, just trying to create harmony here on the board, and also for the greater good of CRT and also to preserve Our Precious Bodily Fluids.

Gentlemen,

An update...this guest sought me out tonight at the SL and asked forgiveness to me and my staff for his error.

I like happy endings and now for me it is a complete to my satisfaction... HAPPY ENDING. Did not expect or request an apology but he did.
Somehow through a few bottles of water and diet cokes today, he did indeed pay us this good will gesture. I do think he is a man like most of us who makes mistakes and like many of our CRT brethren a gentleman.

Bill

I always love happy endings too. Thanks Bill, for the update.
Sometimes too, too much drama here. Let's get back to the fun times in CR. Thanks for always running a good shop.

I wonder if the guest compensated Manfred for his time and expenses for having to return to the SL after he was home. If he is truly sorry, that is what he should do, IMO.

Gentlemen,

True story happened last night at Sportsmens Lodge...I will copy and paste the report I received this morning from my Hotel Manager Manfred Hernandez....

Bill,

We had an issue in El Tigre room, the guest in that room demand to talk to you because the SL is not a secure place, he accused us to be responsible for stole around $700 in cash, passport, credits cards, etc. Priscilla called me and I talked to him over the phone from my house, he insisted to talk to you, so I came and we watched cameras together, only Doris (our maid) and one working girl that we identified went to the room, he insisted to call you or call the police.

I did call the police and they came but police wanted him to go to the OIJ and have someone coming to take some fingerprints and compare with our maid and the working girl, he asked me to check his backpack, so I went with Ballardo and we put gloves and we found everything in a blue bag belonging to the guest in another backpack.

The whole story took us around two hours specially since I had to get the best procedure since Mona Lisa hotel is been accused of the same insecurity problem with no solution and this guy wanted to ruined us in CRT.

At the end problem solve, I´ll give you more details tomorrow when I get here.

Good night.

Manfred Hernandez

I am certainly and obviously not saying this may of been the case with Scubabum and The Mona Lisa, however as a process including viewing security cameras we ask for permission to check any guests room who has a similar claim as stated on this thread and what happened last night at SL.

Thanks,

Bill


I was quite the opposite in the way I handled my situation. I was very calm and 'matter of factly'. I never expected anyone to replace what I lost. I did expect someone to at least hear me besides the man who said "I'm just the beverage manager" with a shrug of his shoulders. If someone would have looked at video cameras, I would have been satisfied. Not happy, but that at least would have shown at least a little interest.

Understatement of the year. The HDR is a scum pit full of noxious trolls and lustful zombies seeking their next cut of sweaty flesh.

Don't you mean "ad nauseam"?

Jeez MH, don't hold back, tell us how ya really feel. :shock: I will say that in the midst of those trolls & zombies, over the last 10 years I have met a lot of attractive young women who happily came to my hotel room & showed me a great time in bed for a fair price. I've had a lot of great experiences & fantastic memories of the sessions I've had with women I've met @ the HDR :D
