One of the draws of this San Jose, Costa Rica hotel is a serve yourself buffet breakfast.
It is not only a buffet breakfast with choices, but you get famous Costa Rican coffee, deep, dark, flavorful, in a big cup. The breakfast runs from seven to nine every morning. Guests pick up their meal pass at the front desk, present it at the dining room door, and bring their appetites.
There is just about anything here a picky breakfast eater could want. You have rice and beans, omelets cooked on a grill with your favorite ingredients, papaya, pineapple, bananas, bread and sweetbreads, ham and cheese slices you can turn into sandwiches, fried banana slices, juices, hot coffee or tea, and other chef specialties to fill gaps on your plate. You can go back multiple times.
The times I have stayed here, in past visits, the menu has been different each day,but always with an eye on basics. Travelers need a good breakfast. Growing hungry in the morning, halfway up a rain forest mountain trail, is not where you want to be.
This morning is gratifying because food in Uruguay was not one of its stronger points..
Knowing what you are going to get at the Hotel Aranjuez buffet, and getting it the way you like it, is worth getting up at six thirty in the morning.
It is great. Have been a little food deprived the last month so this is like going to heaven. The food is less expensive and more to my liking, and the buffet makes the hotel cost even a better deal. You can go all day on this meal and it gets you ready for tours or whatever you want to do.
I don’t know about going all day on a big delicious breakfast…but it would sure get me thru till noon! Are you still getting up very early when nothing is open…or have you gotten more in sync with normal people?
no, doing much better with my time clock. leaving tomorrow at ten thirty so I will have breakfast here ,and then get a taxi to the airport. I do get
up by seven though and you would be surprised how few people are awake and active then. Looking forward to Mazatlan in January. That and Arizona will
be a shorter trip for me. I need to take a break from my break.
Yummmmm … looks good!
