I've been to the Del Rey about four times and have had some good experiences as well as some bad ones. First and foremost, keep your belongings in your room safe. I've never had anything stolen from me and most of the women are pretty honest and kind, but every great now and then you run into a shady girl of course. The ladies have to behave since the doorman has her national id card in his possession the entire time you are with her in your room (I like that they hold on to it). If you have an issue with a girl, immediately tell the doorman. The girl will most likely be blocked from entering the hotel again. Which is bad for the girl who's blocked because the Del Rey get's them high wages from men ($100/hr which actually is more like 40 minutes depending on how fast you pump her lol). Don't fall for "I give good massages" as these "massages" feel great but only last like two minutes haha. Do not pay until you are finished. They will ask for the money upfront before any nooky but tell them you only pay after. Show her you have the money though. You call the shots! I once had a girl tell me one price only to raise it above the norm once we got back to the room. I told her to get out, went downstairs and grabbed one who was even hotter than her! One time this girl had drank so much that she passed out and slept for four hours in my bed. It was lame. As for the quality of women; I've experienced the Del Rey at almost all hours of the day at some time or another. In my experience the best time to find the most attractive women is Friday night between 6-9pm. Any later than that and all the pretty ones are already taken. When I say pretty, I really mean gorgeous. I once was with a lady who could have been Penelope Cruz's twin. No joke. Friday, Saturday, and I hear Wednesdays are the peak times for the best looking women (Penelope style).

If you are a first timer, head for the Del Rey to learn the ropes. Its a big hotel. You will feel a bit more comfortable there than in some of those other hole in the wall spots. If youre not comfortable with your surroundings how can you relax and enjoy. After a few twists at Del Rey you will be able to venture out and enjoy the ugly city. Some places will down right scare you( aka Lipstick) The #1 rule when in Costa Rica is to negociate all prices with these ladies. All the ladies in these spots are working for a living and remember you have the upper hand cause you got money. Rule# 2 / Remember these ladies dont really like you. So go there have a good time and leave with good memories and some money in your pocket.

Overall a great place to hang out they don't push drinks on you or hassle you for money. The girls are pretty with every type you can imagine. The girls always ask for $100 some are gorgeous and can get the $100 bucks. No thuggery they do have security guards and are always polite. Outside many men trying to sell you watches ,cigars ,ect there not hoodlums and have some good deals but bargain. Great place have fun be kind to people there. The girls are friendly and are sole support for there children and family.

I love Th Rey, a great place to hang out meet friends, look a the hundreds of pretty girls, and after a successful day of hunting, what a place to end the day, have a cold one and compare your day with others. But your a fool to pay the $100 fee for the average to a little above average working girl that will constantly hassle you to go with them, forget about eating there, the service is beyond bad, the food comes from across the street ( if you can believe that). The barmaids are a treat to look at, but sadly they are hired for their looks not their ability to serve you, if you manage to get a drink make sure you grab your change as the tip is included in the overpriced drink and without asking they will snatch it from you, now on the other hand if your lucky enough to get Mia, Lorna, Espy, and a couple other favorites feel free to buy them a shot and have a good time with them ( they are not all bad)- Remember look at the girls, but with all the $20 -$30 girls in San Jose, et your business over with before you go there.
