More about Hotel Rincon De San Jose

Our first nights in San Jose

by ewinchester about Hotel Rincon de San Jose

We stayed our first two nights at the Hotel Rincon. I found out about it via an internet search and guidebook. It is only a couple of blocks from the Hotel Dunn Inn. The staff was extremely helpful and we had a nice conversation with the young guy that was working there. The breakfast is okay, nothing to get excited about. They offer a few drinks in the evening, but don't have much of a selection. The food and drinks were probably the least impressive part of staying there. People did not tend to sit around and socialize at this establishment. It was more of a place to drop of your stuff and hit the streets. It is in an area that I would not feel safe walking around in at night. Our only problem with this hotel was that they charged my credit card twice for our two nights stay. It took a couple of months to get it all straightened out. I would not have worried about that too much except that the hotel was very slow to acknowledge and/or reply to my repeated attempts to settle the problem without involving the credit card company - which I ultimately did and got results. The hotel did hook us up with an all day tour of a local coffee plantation, waterfalls and volcano. I was skeptical about going on a guided tour, but it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The tour guide was great, and the other people on the tour were very pleasant to spend a day with.

Help me Remember a great restaurant in San Jose

by islandatty

We were in San Jose a few years ago and had a fantastic meal at a restaurant recommended by someone from the north...it was a combination of a wonderful buffet and also many kinds of meats served by waiters at your table, as often and as plentifully as desired. Now I am sad and embarrased to have forgotten the name...it was in an odd location and I remember the taxi having trouble finding it. Is this familiar to any Virtualtourists? I would greatly appreciate help remembering the name.

It sounds like it may have been Brazillian. Try searching with terms like 'churrascaria' or 'churrasco'.

I agree with HB. It sounds like a Brasilian barbecue place. Could it be Fogo Brasil, All You Can Eat?

Take a look at sfphototraveller' Restaurant page on VT:

Could this be it?

I can't find a real web site for them but I bet it's this place in La Ribera be Belen not far from the Marriott Hotel.

Travel Tips for San José

Street Musicians

by zrim

Playing some hauntingly beautiful songs, this troupe drew quite a crowd on the Plaza de la Cultura. We stood and listened for a few minutes, but the jostling crowd and the lack of any place to sit on this busy Christmas Eve meant that we had to push on sooner than we would have liked. I'd say that this music performance, albeit very brief, was the highlight of the afternoon in San Jose.

Cafe Britt Coffee Tour

by grets

Although very touristy and commercial, I thoroughly enjoyed this theatrical tour.

Led by professional actors posing as plantation workers, you are guided through the whole process of coffee growing, harvesting, roasting, tasting and buying.

There is also a multimedia show, plant tour and tasting session, with the ubiquitous shopping experience at the end. Their coffee liqueur is to die for!

it can be silly but at first I didn't know exactly which flying companies go to Costa Rica and the one I found less expensive was Martin Air.
still about silly things: in case you have been given one of those headset by a flying companies, bring it with you, the Martin Air doesn't give it for free, even if they ask a little nothing for them...

by pollon about La Esquina del Café

you can get both tico and international dishes and in my pic the food is served on a banana leaf, well what I had read about they presenting well food à la carte is true but don't hope in a good light for taking the pic ;-), the tables are candle-lit...
