ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!
(see below other ways to show your appreciation)

DINNER SPECIALS • CENA ESPECIAL - All-You-Can-Eat Special Nights from the Costa Rica Eats Restaurant Guide

Dinner Special's • Ofertas Cena are few and far between in Costa Rica which is unfortunate - especially in these tougher economic times many (especially those not living off their credit cards).  Hopefully if restauranteurs can be true "business people" and they will see the importance in offering such specials (heck, Lunch specials [aka "Ejecutivo Almuerzos"] is a newer phenomenon in Costa Rica). 

"Early Bird" specials - I can't say I've seen one in ALL my years living in•traveling around Costa Rica!


So I'm starting this page and will share as I find
DINNER SPECIALS and ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT
specials available at Dinner time!
(NOTE:  If you see the word "Buffet" - I think most North American's think of All-You-Can-Eat - BUT - alas, that is NOT so in Costa Rica.  Costa Rican's version of a "Buffet" is what WE'D call "Cafeteria Style" - meaning there are a bunch of hot plates & a server & you can pick what you want).



(of course ALL are subject to change
so if you're going someplace JUST for the special, make sure you call ahead.  And if you find something that is discontinued - PLEASE help everyone by letting me know - LivingLifeInCostaRica@gmail.com)
