Hotel
La Posada is another popular choice. It is a large hotel in
central San Ramon. All rooms have private bath with hot water
and cable TV. The hotel is located on the northern edge of San
Ramon’s commercial district on the direct route from the
Inter-American Highway to Fortuna.
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.
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.
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:
If
you find yourself in the San Jose area, a good choice is Madeliene's
Hotel and Guest House. It is located in the San Pedro neighborhood
of San Jose, a nice safe spot near the University and shopping.
The owner, Madeleine, is a nice person that we met while we were
traveling. We are confident you will have a good experience with
her. She rents by the night, week, or month.:
