Just had a Tico I know got held up at gunpoint on his way to work at Santo Tomas in Barrio Amon at 8:30pm. He's ok but beware.

One of the things to remember is don't dress like a gringo, loud shirts, gold jewelry etc, I'm one of the white haired guys, I've walked back to the Sportsman from the Del Rey, Key Largo late at night 11pm, but I don't look like a target. Cops are every where in the Parque Morozan.

Don't get drunk, carry a copy of your passport and and a copy of the entry stamp page.

I walk everywhere, every day for 3 years, nothing bad has happened yet. I would say as long as you're not a white haired old timer, no offense, that is perfectly safe. Don't make yourself a target and don't look lost are the only things I go by. Definitely less than 50% have fake boobs.

thanks a lot for the info.

Cheers

I just got backfrom another nine day trip here.

This is the first time that I arrived at night (8:30 pm. Local). Had a friend who used to be a hotel taxi pick me up for $23, even though gas and diesel are out of sight.

HOTEL: I know that a lot of guys don't the morazan, or Ricardo at the door, but I have been staying for years, and prefer it over DR prices. I get the impression that about 25% of Morazon rooms are unrentable for various reasons, but I manage to get a good one for the price and guests are free. The hotel was practically empty until Memorial weekend. I did have to change mattress this time. Sleeping the first Monday night was like sleeping in a canoe, all sagging in the middle smile). It came with free breakfast. Which is so-so, and the lucnh buffet for 2, 900c is okay, but not something you you'd want every day.

DR: I found that Monday and Tuesday afternoons and early evenings were dead both weeks there. On Tuesday afternoon, May 22nd, there were only eight to pick from, so I just had a drink and read Tico Times. On Wedsnesdays forward, there was much more action. With economy becoming more depressed, food and shopping prices seemed higher, but my DR choices were negotiated at $50-$60. For a 7 or 8, it was worth it. My bud and I had a real hard time fighting off the old guard from years past, and one night an unknown drunk fugly one camped out at my table and would leave, so. I left her. I did not go to NF, since fishing was so good at DR.

I met my bud from Texas there, and he told me an interesting story. Around May 29th, two nice looking blondes (exchange students or researchers walked into DR from Hotel Europa to observe the activity, and asked him several questions about what was going on and how it works. He explained in detail and said that they seemed quite interested. I may be paranoid, but I suggested that with all of the attention Columbia, that they may have been research reporters looking at other Latin American countries, since that SS story is dying out. He didn't seem to concerned, but only say better him than me.

FOOD: I didn't get to La Princesa Marina this time. Other than Morazon, and DR Del Mar, there is a buffet in the food court 1/2 from DR and that was good. Reasonable and cooked fish fillet to order. I stopped having the Del Mar chicken soup, even tough it is the best that I've had. They now give a cup, instead a bowl, and still charge the same. I mentioned to Gabby and she only said that she had heard it before. Oh well. They do have a great Rancheros Heuvas, which tried this time. They are best when prepared in the afternoon by the primary chef.

Airport Taxi: If anyone wants to use the guy that I mentioned, then send me a PM, and I'll get his email address to you. He is going to $25 bucks now, is definitely trustworthy. I first met him six years ago when he was working for Morazon. Angie did the room check out and I walked away, leaving my credit card. She sent him after me. I don't know how he did it, but he got to airport and caught me walking from departure tax to airport checkin. I didn't recognize him, and he waved my credit card. I tipped him $20. Because he could have gone shopping, told Angie that he gave it to someone who looked like me, etc.

Finally, on Tuesday, May 29th around mid-day, there was a mild tremor that lasted about 15-20 seconds. We were having lunch at Morazon, and I asked about it. The waiter said, it's just a big bus. My bud said, it must be on the roof.

I've never had a problem at Pueblo. I think Trip Advisor can sometimes blow things out of proportion. That being said, use the same precaution you would in any other Latin American countries. Taxis are pretty cheap so you can take a cab there and back. Try to get a metered cab or pre-negotiate price, if you can. It is also a good place to go with a date, if you like to dance.

The National Theatre won't be hard to find and you will probably see more nice ladies walking around there on Avenida Central, shopping, eating, etc.

Also, there is 7-11 type place around the corner from the Del Rey (I forgot the name) that serves food on a steam table and makes pizza. If you go around lunch, you will run into regular working girls in business attire and students as well.

El Pueblo is only dangerous if you're a dumbass. When you leave El Pueblo walk to the corner to get a taxi versus those punks out front all trying to take you to Tango India (titty bar). If you want to actually talk to people inside of there though, I recommend it outside of the weekend as it is a lot more quiet.

Orgasmico,

One of your links took me to Trip Advisor. The reports said El Pueblo was a lively place with lots of bars, restaurants, dance halls and young people. The action starts around 9pm. However, many said it was dangerous and there were a lot of fights. I still plan to go, but I plan to be very careful and avoid trouble. I've been to similar places in the past, but I have always been safe, because I avoid trouble and watch out. While on TripAdvisor, I saw some areas in San Jose that I would like to visit. I like to do cultural things when I'm abroad, so I plan to see a performance at the National Theatre (Teatro Nacional) while I'm there and also visit the Museo Nacional. There were also reviews of the Universidad de Costa Rica that said it was the best university in the country. It said it was beautiful and had lots of green space and there were lots of cafes and restaurants around. I plan to visit the university and see if I can meet any students.

Thank you for the link, Orgasmico. El Pueblo sounds like the place.

Thank you for the comments. I do speak Spanish and I have no trouble meeting girls in the USA The reason I'm interested in meeting students is because they tend to be younger, not jaded, educated and interesting to talk with. I enjoy sex much more if I can relate to the chica on a personal level and I think this would be better with a student.

Sounds like you might want to check out El Pueblo. http://ticotimes.com/costa-rica/el-p...jose-nightlife

Bunda Man,

You compare the chicas at Del Ray and Sportsmen. I will be staying at the Sportsmen Lodge, but I understand there are more and better chicas at the

Del Rey. Can't yu just go to the Del Rey, pick a girl and take her back to the Sportsmen Lodge?

Actually, I didn't make any comparisons. To reiterate what everyone else is saying, YES you can bring in girls from anywhere to the Sportsmans Lodge. However, at the very least make sure she has government identification (cedula). Recently, the Sportsmans was issuing Sportsman's Identification cards to the girls with their name and personal Identification number on them for girls who come in on their own, but as long is she is accompanied by a SL guest she will be let in if she has gov't Identification. To be sure, if you are at the Del Rey confirm they have Identification before agreeing to go back to the room.

As for comparisons, the SL will usually have at least a few hotties around at any given time, especially early evening, but it doesn't come close to the Del Rey in terms of quantity and quality in the evenings. Best of luck, Bunda.
