San Jose Costa Rica

Ummmmm—There is a whole forum devoted to Costa Rica . . .

If you are worried about your SO...book a half day fishing trip. Take 3 sets of clothes and 3 sets of pics if you are going to be there 3 days. They won't know if you are holding up the same fish each time or not. The Del Rey is a Shit hole. If you stay at the Sportsman...book any of the rooms in the "Mansion" in the back of the hotel. There is also a nice little hotel 1/2 block away from the Sportsman. Can't remember the name but I'm sure someone here will chime in with it.

Amistad had a great selection and I never had a bad meal. Love the bar to hang out in and have a conversation with the guys while getting a break from the Chicas.

If you stay at La Amistad, get one of the king rooms and don't let people disuade you with warnings of the train or traffic. I never had a problem with noise.. just the small quarters in the Queen rooms.

Oh, and Tbone2 is right with the 3 changes of clothes and the fishing trip suggestion. I used that excuse on trips 2-5. The now x-SO never knew I was fishing for pink snapper.

Luv sjo man.heaven
