In years past, some of the key hotels in the gulch have run summer specials. Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen any this year. It seems that now more than ever they would want to attract customers by lowering prices, especially during low summer season. Any info on this happening at any of the gulch hotels? (SL, Castillo, LA, etc.)
I am planning a trip now for the summer, and one influencing factor on how long I stay in San Jose versus elsewhere in CR is what it costs me to stay. The summer specials previously helped keep me in the gulch longer and spending more $$$ there in the process. And I doubt that I'm alone.
SL and Castillo are booked this weekend, and pretty full going forward a few weeks. I hear that Amistad may be opening soon to get the overflow. I wouldn't expect to see any specials for a while.
According to the SL website, while there are two rooms available this weekend, there are 17 of 29 available next weekend. That is a high season weekend occupancy rate of 41%. Prior years they would be running waiting list. The US State department also just issued a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" alert for Costa Rica.
Update: Today, Thursday, Costa Rica reported its highest daily new infection rate.
