10 hours ago, Tropicalsenior said:Indeed he was. His term was 10 years before I moved here but he was still talked about. He was quite controversial. Wanted to restore the Army to Costa Rica. Was it by Chance the Grand Hotel in the middle of San Jose, right next to the National Theater? That would have been the most popular tourist hotel at the time.
"-------------Originally owned by Rodrigo Carazo Odio, former president of Costa Rica, Villa Blanca is a respected rural hotel located within the Los Angeles Private Cloud Forest Reserve in the central region of Costa Rica. -----------------"
Back to food, the hotel was actually in the cloud forest, 85% of the time was in the clouds. Food was not the best (at that time) Beans, beans, beans for lunch, and more beans for dinner. However I was not disappointed, because it was an ecological vacation. But coffee was out of this world. They always serve coffee with hot milk. I did hope for some tropical fruits, but no. No local fruits around that time of the year. They had plenty of fancy imported US apples, which I had no interest in. I was from the "Big Apple" state, NY.😆
Villa Blanca's food has improved to first-class today.
