I am 85% sure I will be there. Work has already screwed me a little. I was staying until Wed. now i can stay until Monday morning at the latest. I am waiting another week or two to finalize my trip. I bought my trip as Friday morn Midnight til Wed Morning, Now if i can still make it it will be Thurs at Midnight til Monday Morning. $100 change of ticket fee already, so I am waiting another week or so to make the change. Need a place Wed night and thurs still looking for suggestions.

Changing my reservation....200 less!

I have just returned from my first trip. Personally, if it were not for The Sportsmen’s Lodge it would be my last. I’d rather vacation in Baghdad than stay at some of the alternatives I had a chance to visit.

To get an idea what the SL is like think of a Central American version of Cheers, a place “where everybody knows your name”. Then add a great "bed and breakfast" atmosphere, and top off with anywhere from six to twenty-six accommodating female patrons eager, but not desperate for, your companionship.

Unlike what I experienced elsewhere, not one of the women at the SL ever begged me to engage her services. Not one of them grabbed my gonads unless invited to do so. And I was not tackled even once by any of them.

It has been mentioned by other members that the SL attracts a higher class of woman. This is absolutely true but it also no accident.
Bill and Johanna have created an atmosphere that tends to attract the kind of warm, friendly, and accommodating women many of us are seeking on a vacation of this kind.

Costa Rica, like the US, is a free country. Any woman of legal age can hang out pretty much anywhere she wants. As Bill will tell you they are all independent contractors. He and Johanna can’t keep any girl out, but those who are dishonest, aggressive, or generally unpleasant quickly get the idea that the welcome mat is not intended for them.

When I say, “everybody knows your name” it is absolutely true.
I arrived on a Sunday afternoon. All of the NFL games were on the multiple televisions in the bar and lobby. Heidi, and Marjorie are both immediately calling me Jim, and Bill has phoned a woman I had previously expressed an interest in to see if she would come over and join me.

Ray, the Manager is also your personal concierge. He’ll arrange everything from tours of the rain forest to low cost car rentals, and make sure you have everything you need. Beyond that he is an all around great guy.

The SL has another wonderful asset, though she is not officially an employee. Karen is a freelance masseuse of the legitimate variety who will give you the best massage, pedicure and manicure you have ever had. If your life experience does not include a pedicure get her to give you one. My feet haven’t looked or felt this good since I was six years old.

Beyond that, Karen knows EVERYTHING that is going on. She speaks perfect English and if she likes you she will not only protect your ass but might even introduce you to special ladies she knows will make you happy. Whether you speak no Spanish, or are fluent, you will find Karen an invaluable friend to have.

Previous reports have mentioned the lack of air conditioning. I know Bill is adding more rooms and upgrading others. Presumably air conditioning is coming soon. Being from Vermont I found no problems with the temperature. All of the rooms have ceiling fans and most of the time I had mine off.

In my opinion the lack of air conditioning is more than made up for with the free wireless internet and the free use of the four or five computers in the bar and lobby.

I realize that this report sounds a bit like I am shilling, but be assured that is not the case. By nature I am difficult to please and ornery when irritated. If there were a single thing I could find wrong it would be included.

That’s why on any future trip to Costa Rica I’ll be staying at The Sportsman’s Lodge or else I won’t be in Costa Rica at all.

Arriving Thursday and staying at the Marriot...leaving Sunday PM

Down for it all

[Extra Innings]

Update:

Got off the phone with Sportsmen...the receptionist was very nice but they are booked 89 and higher....Considering they are about 20 miles out compared to 3 or so for the Marriott...it's a no-go for me.

[opie1988]

Just confirmed that I will be staying with Loshak while in CR. Apparently, Diego has moved out of the hut they were co-habitating in!

Whatever.....your personal life is none of my concern, pal.

Losher.......check your p.m.'s guy. Sent you a small list of various sundry items I will require. Many thanks in advance, chief!

Confused me, please explain. Thanks

Confused me, please explain. Thanks

I booked at the Marriott @ 149 night. I saw that many were staying at the sportsmen lounge which has rooms which start @ 59. I called and they stated everything was booked except 89 and up. With the sportsmen being 20 miles from SJO vs. Marriott @ 3 miles I decided to keep my reservations at the Marriott. I think either place is good but no doubt I will know what to expect with my Marriott San Jose reservations. 5*
