Need advice on hotel. Help me choose
OK so I just finished reading all 15 pages of this thread. I'm still a bit up in the air.
My buddy and I have booked our flights to CR. We plan on staying in SJ for 2 nights then somewhere in the jungle for 2nights and back again in SJ for our remaining 2 nights.
I have already contacted the SL, as it was my 1st choice in accomodations. Got an email back from Vanessa tonight telling me that they are booked for the duration of my stay in CR. So I have a list of other hotels, but I cannot decide on which. I'd like to poll some of you experts on your opinions. As I am a total green horn. 1st time in CR. As I mentioned I have read ALL 15 pages and these are the hotels I have picked. I am not looking for other recomendations. Though the gesture is greatly appreciated.
So here is my list. I'd like to know what the chica fine is if any for these locations. I know about the CRT rate with Nixon. Does it still stand?
Clarion Amon Plaza ( booked though casino)
Balmoral
Castillo
Europa
Morazon
Best Western Downtown
Personally I'm flip-flopping between the Amon and Europa.
I'd like feedback regarding chica fees, and location. Primarily distance to BM or ZB.
Thank You in advance!

note how they feel a little insecure because they charge for breakfast and "extra persons"! i don't know, but i sort of feel like that song advises "you better shop around"
