Ricardo was always helpful, yet annoying. He could make a ton more money, if he was a little more organized, and a shade smarter.
I had heard that his health improved, after his incident and he was back to work. Not sure if he also suffered a milfd stroke, too.
All very true - while I heard they are under <recent> new ownership, given their location I have always wondered why they never cleaned the place up and really made it a showplace - but maybe that's part of the charm.
I was just there, and I like that part of town - and, no, a block away from the HDR has zero bearing on why I post this.
Some random observations:
The bar on the 2nd floor looks good and is open air - the 2 girls they have running it are cute and efficient - I called for room service and it was there in what seemed like 3 min's!
The noon buffet looked good, was cheap (I forget how much but like $6?)
The rooms are now non smoking - so you want one with a balcony if you do smoke
Ricky is as fat as ever but recovered from his stroke - he is a dummy, but basically a nice person.
Being in sales for 35 years, I do admire his aggressiveness - most Costa Rican's are way too passive - but if he was a little smarter, he would do better.
I paid $48 a night including breakfast - don't recall if that included tax.
They hired a new night receptionist - I think she is really pretty, exotic looking - nice too - while a Nica, she even looked like she could be Indian - the ones from the Asian country (you know - with the dot
), not Native American.
I thought she was really pretty hot! Anyone else know who I'm talking about?
