This place started originally under the Camacho Araya family and still, aiming to have a place where families and neighbors from around were able to celebrate birthdays and all kind of events or simply get out of San Ramon down town to chill. It´s not fuggy or cloudy all the time but when you are treated well, the rest is great and so it happens here with the service and the great meals. Veggie-Meat Lovers-Costarican & Kids friendly menu plus the Snack´s chart.

Ok, so I had the recent "pleasure" to stay at the Gran Hotel. It's a convenient, no frills, cheap hotel (motel). The room I got was clean and shared a bathroom which was clean also. The cost was $10,000 ($17.50 us)which was probably a little expensive. The area that the Gran Hotel is in, is close to the central park, bars, restaurants and just about anything else you might need. On my next visit to San Ramon, I will probably look for another place to try but wouldn't rule out staying at the Gran again.

The Central Church of San Ramón is a beautiful church located in the middle of San Ramon. On my recent visit to San Ramon, I had the pleasure of being with some one that was born and raised in San Ramon, so he knew a lot of history about the church. The story I got was that this church was originally destined for Brazil but ended up in San Ramon because of a mix up. The original church was destroyed by a earthquake in the early 1900's. If your in San Ramon, this is must see.

The Fiesta Casino is one of those places that's good to kill time before your flight. Strategically located by the San Jose Airport, in the same area as the rental car plaza and The Hampton Inn. The casino is on the small side but, is new and has all the games you might expect. They have a nice selection of Slot machines with the normal bells and whistles. If you're early for your flight, this will be good place to wait, otherwise, I'm not sure if I would make The Fiesta Casino a destination.

The Hampton Inn at the San Jose Airport is a great hotel to stay if you have one of the early flights leaving Costa Rica. The staff is friendly and it's super close to the Airport. There are couple of restaurants close by as well as a Casino (for killing a little time. It's a clean basic hotel at prices you would expect.

On my recent trip from the States to Costa Rica, I opted for a cheap flight on Mexicana Airlines. Besides having a layover in Mexico City, I can't remember the last time I had such a good experience flying. They served food and followed up with coffee after the food service. The flight attendants were friendly and attentive. Hopefully, I'll have the same opinion on my return flight.

Economy has some of the best deals on Rental Cars in Costa Rica. I've rented from them twice and have tried to find a better deal both times, but couldn't. The staff is super friendly and communicate well. This trip I had a flat tire coming from the Airport to San Jose, when I got back to my apartment, I called them and they sent someone out to bring me a new tire and take the flat one away. Good experiences so far. Check em out the next time you need a Rental Car in Costa Rica.

I used Thrifty Car Rental on my very first visit to Costa Rica. At the time I was unfamiliar with the ins and outs of renting a car in CR, even though I thought I had done my homework before I left home. But, I soon realized that my usual auto policy did not covered some of the demands of the car rental company, and I had to take out additional insurance. The experience was rather frustrating at the time but, thanks to the courteous and patient staff behind the counter there, they were accommodating and got me on my
