Plaza Zapote
About
Plaza Zapote serves Costa Rica from its spot in the Zapote district of San José, and visitors rate it 4.4 out of 5 from 136 reviews.
C. 57A, San José, San Pedro, Zapote, 11801, Costa Rica puts the venue inside the capital's eastern quarter, close enough to the centre that anyone staying in San José can reach it without a long journey. From the coastal resorts, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó and Puerto Viejo all sit some distance away, while La Fortuna and Monteverde lie inland to the north-west. San José itself anchors the central valley, so the venue works as a stop for travellers passing through the capital on the way to or from the coasts.
Costa Rica's tropical climate divides into a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, which shapes when most visitors plan their trips.
The Pacific coast enjoys a marked dry season while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year, so conditions differ depending on which direction you travel.
