Serpento
About
Serpento in Costa Rica sits at Detrás del Monge, Rotonda de las Garantías Sociales, San José, Yoses Sur, placing it in the capital's eastern quarter. A 2.4 out of 5 average from 116 reviews gives it a mixed reputation among those who have been. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, which visitors will hear throughout San José. Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations, so day trips from the capital are feasible.
The setting on the Rotonda de las Garantías Sociales puts it close to a major junction, with Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all reachable by road from San José. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast.
First-time visitors should expect a San José address rather than a resort one, with the usual city traffic and noise nearby. Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings.
Given the low average rating, it is worth setting expectations accordingly and treating the visit as a city stop. The location near the rotonda makes it easy to find by taxi or bus.
