but one place I've found I can USUALLY count on to get
FREE internet/WiFiis
McDonald's!!
Whether you like/eat their food or not, they DO know Customer Service and part of that is appealing to those that need to stay connected via the internet - be it for work or pleasure - as well as for families with little kids as most I've seen have
PLAY AREAS
you can drop your kids off at and get some semi peace and quiet/a break from the "MOMMY!!!" (I cheat - I bring my ear plugs and put a headband over my ears for extra quiet)
And now that they're all fixed up (and some still have the McCafe's which I hear have quite good coffee!! [I'm NOT a coffee drinkers so can't tell ya but some of my international traveler friends and some that can afford to drink coffee wherever they desire $$ wise have raved about it]) - it's nice to sit back in a nice padded chair for a few hours and work away!!!
For a list of where to find McDonald's in Costa Rica go to "Restaurants" at:
NOTE: Last year when I was in San Isidro de General, the McDonald's there did NOT have WiFi which shocked me as I thought it was a standard perk/service they offered. The manager at the Escazu location said they do so hopefully they've fixed it in SIDG/Perez Zeledon.
SIDE NOTE: I would like to hear from anyone that feels they might have experienced the internet going up/down at a McDonald's and feels that it MIGHT have been intentional. I've heard that from a few people lately. I hope that isn't the case as that would be QUITE short sited as most people on this planet - at some time in their life have given McDonald's a LOT of $$$.

I REALLY APPRECIATE KNOWING I can count on McDonald's when I'm traveling or the electricity goes down where I'm at!
Do you have a picture of yourself working at McDonald's or your kids playing in the play area? I'd love to add it here so send me a jpg or png to LivingLifeInCostaRica@gmail.com
Do you know of some other chains, restaurants, places people can get FREE WiFi (of course by buying SOMETHING!!)? Please share that with me also!!
