For
a more intimate experience of the rain forest and rural life in
a Costa Rican pueblo, we suggest a stay at Angel Valley Farm,
located 4 km from San Ramon in the village of Los Angeles Sur.
The hotel is housed in a traditional 1950s Costa Rican farmhouse.
The American owner, Andrew, purchased and remodeled the 6 bedroom,
5 bath farmhouse in 2005. Kerri, the newly arrived manager, is
a personable host and we hear she makes great breakfasts. The
inn provides personal guided tours of the surrounding Los Angeles
Cloud Forest, horseback riding, and exceptional bird-watching.
In addition, the hotel staff will arrange for day tours to Arenal
Volcano, San Ramon, or specialized relocation and real estate
tours: 
This
hotel is situated in a beautiful spot in the center of the San
Lorenzo Cloud Forest midway between San Ramon and Volcano Arenal
(32 km North of San Ramon). It is owned and operated by a group
of young Israeli vegetarian, animal and nature lovers. The group
of friends spent a number of years searching the world before
finding this idyllic, peaceful spot to settle and create their
home, animal-friendly tourist resort and pet hotel. Since purchasing
the former Valle Escondido Lodge in 2006, the group has worked
hard to thoroughly renovate the buildings and grounds. Each time
we stop, we are awed by the work and care they take in all aspects
of this special place.
This
tourist lodge originally built by former Costa Rican President
Rodrigo Carazo, was recently purchased and renovated by Green
Hotels of Costa Rica re-opening in December of 2004. This exquisitely
outfitted and restored property is equivalent to a four star hotel.
There is no other hotel in the San Ramon area in this category,
Villa Blanca is located 20 km North of San Ramon at the center
of the 3,000-acre private Los Angeles Cloud Forest Reserve. The
resort’s restored large main lodge has two restaurants,
a lobby bar and spa facilities. Two elegantly furnished themed
sitting rooms feature panoramic views of the surrounding forest.
The stadium-seating private movie theater has nightly showings
of “An Inconvenient Truth” followed by first-run films.
Guests stay in one of 34 private Casitas (adobe cabins)
scattered around the property. Each casita features a traditional
open beamed cane ceiling, large private veranda, fireplace, hot
water bath, and kitchenette. The romantic wedding chapel built
by the former president to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary
is famous for its hand painted ceramic tile ceiling depicting
Costa Rican flora, fauna, and history. The hotel provides guided
tours of the surrounding Los Angeles Cloud Forest Private Reserve,
horseback riding, and exceptional bird-watching. In addition,
the hotel staff will arrange for day tours to Arenal Volcano &
hot springs, Poas Volcano & Sarchi or the town of San Ramon:
This
country lodge located 4 minutes from downtown San Ramon will be
a great addition to the local hotel choices. The 12 newly constructed
individual cabins are set on a landscaped hillside adjacent to a
stream. All cabinas feature handmade wood furnishings, cable TV
and individual tiled bathrooms, some with jacuzzi tubs. This spot
provides comfort, quiet, privacy and the fresh mountain breezes
San Ramon is famous for. The staff does not speak English and a
car is a necessity at this country lodge.
This
moderately priced hotel attracts a young crowd of tourists and Ticos.
Located on a busy commercial street 25 mts south of the San Ramon
bus terminal, the Hotel El Nuevo Jardin is a good choice for someone
interested in being in the heart of the action. The hotel features
free secure parking, internet, cable TV and coffee. The large tiled
lobby revolves around a lush central garden. The owner, Robin Cruz,
also owns the popular tourist stop El Jardin butterfly garden, souvenir
shop, and restaurant on the Pan-American Highway 5 kms West of San
Ramon.
The
recently remodeled Gran Hotel is very basic, yet clean. This is
a safe choice for the budget traveler. The hotel is centrally located
between the University of Costa Rica and San Ramon central on a
relatively quiet commercial street. Café Delicias, a popular
coffee shop offering good pastries, ice cream treats and American
breakfast is across the street. Internet café (50cents/C250
per hour) with relatively new machines and quick connections is
next door. The 24-rooms have interior windows to the central courtyard
and hot water showers.
