It is right in the center of CR. Lookout when you drive there as there are many trucks that are too long to make some of the curves & start laying on the horn so be ready! :? Some can not make the curve even swinging into the other lane as far as they can & have to back up once or twice to make it so again be careful. It is a great place for all ages & I have seen some real hotties there. It is a good Idea to take rain gear with you but they do sell cheap plastic ponchos & umbrellas if needed. This place is very well done & run. The rooms are perfect for me & I like this much more than the beach to take some real quality company because it has everything & more that you need plus it stays cool especially at night where you have a push button fire place & can get oh so close to share that body HEAT! :shock: The Chicas love it but reserve your room in advance since they are very limited.

I agree that it's a worthwhile tour. I did it as part of a "highlights" tour a few years ago. At that time, at the end of the waterfall walk (up/down but mostly down), our tour bus was waiting to return us to the top. If you go on your own do you have to climb back up?

Sounds great but everything I have heard and read indicates that the average room rate with tax is about $300.00 per night. Did you think it was worth the price considering places you can go for a lot less money?

Think you misread my comment.

I was not concerned about your financial position.

Many times people book a hotel at a price and after the stay think it was overpriced.

If you got a better rate why not share it and tell the board how to do so?

Does that clarify my post?

Senordos,

Thanks for the link. The rooms are pricey but looking at the pictures of them and reading the description they do not seem to overpriced at all.

I to recomend it. I thought it was great. The frogs, little birds, and butterflys did not do anything for me.

But the 5 or 6 teir watterfall is good. And after a couple of hours walking down the side of the mountain next to the falls. They send a bus to get you. For use middle aged guys

Irish,

Look at this place there is not much like it that I have seen. It is first class at a fair price. The rooms are Excellent to me. Take a tour of them they like to show them off & I don't blame them. The guy is very artistic with great taste & design. Their is nothing close to this place in that area & it is not that bad of drive. You have a Jacuzzi & total TV link, free internet, a nice restaurant with fire place. Music & CDs of your choice with quality sound to help that oh so important atmosphere. :wink:

If you have a quality mature type of chica this place has worked well for me with NO phucking mosquitoes,salt,sand,heat & sunburn to phuck with along with NO BEGGARS or pests of any kind :P . I like the peaceful quite place for my own R&R & am mainly paying for that but it is more fun with the right Chica on those cool nights. Many of the Chicas like the peace this place has to offer as they do have very choatic hectic lives. This type of setting is perfect I feel for women. They love to dream & feel the fantasy of a luxury life. They simply put out more & get googy eyed very easy in this type of environment. It tends to create their own form of the GFFE (gringo fun fantasy experience) & they don’t like to see it end but such is life & at least all seem to enjoy the moment with heightened senses. It makes a memorable moment for them as many can not afford to do this. I love to see them enjoying the moment, the smiles & expressions are all too real. I hope they remember me I know I will remember them? :roll: It really is a healthy fantasy I feel as we all escape the seriousness of our daily grind in life.

By the way the tour was included with the room stay.

Great name PEACE LODGE!! This is a great break from HDR & the entire BS that goes on there. I know of nothing better on this earth than this type of fantasy that fulfills all involved at that moment when pure joy is achieved it is heaven on earth. I just wish fantasy lasted longer than the pain of reality but keeping both concepts in their proper place lets me live a life of balance & harmony. It is when I have blurred these lines I have phucked myself. :?
