Long Time Listener 1st Time Caller.
Been thinking about it for a couple months and finally broke down and booked a trip. 1st trip to Costa Rica was 5 years ago and my first ever mongering trip, had a fun time. Have since been to Amsterdam and the FKKs of Germany so hoping with a little more experience I make less rookie mistakes but my Spanish is still piss-poor. Have a couple questions below, would love if anyone who has had boots on the ground recently could help me out but if you tell me to go Phuck myself and use the search function, hey it's the internet and I probably deserved it.
1. Couldn't decide between SL or Taormina so I booked 2 nights in each. If there's rumors of HDR coming back will I regret staying at Taormina?
2. My online reservation at Taormina didn't require a credit card. Seemed kinda odd, has anyone had any issues?
3. Is the master suite at Taormina worth it? The description mentioned "an additional bathroom in living area", assuming that means jacuzzi and I love a good soak but there are no pictures so it could mean a pot to piss in for all I know.
Think of the rooms at the Taormina as an older looking Motel 6 but with some more cheap looking "updated" features. In fact, I would rather stay at a Motel 6 because the few times I did stay at the Taormina I found cockroaches in my room multiple times, the AC has been known to constantly have issues there, the hot water would go out frequently, and don't even get me started on their security guards there that love to stare you down like you are a hard core criminal. The overall atmosphere in that place is just dull. If I were you, I would just stay at the Sportsmens the full time, or just divide up your stay between the Sportsmens and maybe the Amistad or Castillo. They are way better than the Taormina in my opinion.
