Shaddai
About
In Costa Rica, Shaddai sits in San Rafael within Provincia de Alajuela, a setting in the country's central highlands rather than on either coast. The surrounding towns and resorts, from San José to Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde, are spread across the country's varied regions.
A 4.5 out of 5 average across 38 reviews reflects a modest but steady stream of feedback from those who have stopped here. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the everyday phrase pura vida, which visitors hear constantly.
San Rafael sits within Provincia de Alajuela, and the wider province stretches from the highlands toward the northern lowlands, so the surroundings shift noticeably over short distances. A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is a reliable way to eat well during the day.
Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations, so moving between regions takes some planning. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year.
