Not a Family Hotel (It's True)
If you are reading this you probably already know that the Hotel Delrey is for male travelers only but please allow me to give you a few pointers before you go there ALONE....trust me on this, if you are traveling with your family stay away from this hotel, go somewhere else. the lobby is full of prostitutes at all times of day, the hotel is no good even for couples, please do not take your wife or significant other to this place... do you really want the headache of your wife watching your every move, giving you jealous fits?. But if you're a single male traveling by yourself and hookers is your thing, this IS the place to stay at least for a couple of days before you go somewhere else in Costa Rica. A couple of rules though: in the scale of 1 to 10, do not haggle the price for girls that are 9 and 10, if they even talk to you that means they like you enough for your money but if want to go lower than 100 dollars they will walk away, DO negotiate for girls that are 7 and 8, they will ask for 100$ but they expect you to haggle the price, remember: the girl to man ratio is 10 to 1 so most likely they will want your business, and as it is true anywhere else, the more time you want to stay with a chica the more money you'll have to pay. Do not be rude to the girls, don't be the ugly american, politeness goes a long way especially if you know some Spanish. The casino in the lobby is decent-to-average, but don't expect Las Vegas odds and just know that if you play the tables and expect to break the house you're in for a surprise, just play small and have fun watching all the eye candy, the three bars are better than average and the all female bartenders are typically in the 8-9 range but they are not prostitutes so don't even try to pick them up unless you want to end your stay at the Delrey very short (that is from personal experience). The restaurant across the street its ok, I believe it doubles as a disco nightclub on the weekends, they play salsa music, merengue and reggeaton, it gets crowded but you'll have fun nonetheless. The rooms are clean and most of them are renovated, the housekeeping staff is very friendly and they will go out of their way to serve you in any way they can, just be curteous to them and they will treat you right. Hopefully I have given you something that you can use. Good Luck.
