The Hotel Ramada Plaza Herradura was first build in March 1975 by Exposiciones Agropecuarias Bonanza, to allocate the foreigner participants of agropecuarian events in Costa Rica with the name Hotel Herradura Americano. Later on, the name was modified to Hotel Herradura, which was, and still is a land mark in Costa Rica. In 1986 the Hotel was increased to 145 rooms and also became part of the group of the Hotel Sheraton Franchise and again changed its name to Hotel Sheraton Herradura. As a product of this integration, the Hotel increased its standards of quality and services to international standards for the national and foreigners’ tourists. Nonetheless, during the nineties, the franchise was eliminated and the Hotel was renamed Hotel Herradura Golf Resort & Conference Center. This new administration build 89 new rooms, a casino, a new swimming pool, a snack bar and build the Conference Center, which was finished in 1991, becoming the most extensive and modern Conference Center in Central America, which have distinguished Ramada Plaza Herradura as one of the best Hotels in Costa Rica. On 5th March 2001 a new group assumed the administration of the Hotel. On 7th December 2005 the new administration acquired the franchise owned by Cendant; named Ramada Plaza, thus the hotel changed the named to Hotel Ramada Plaza Herradura, keeping the tradition of the trademark “Herradura” because of the importance in Hotel history in Costa Rica.

Tirrenia restaurant: where surf and turf become one!
A fresh, relaxed ambiance, with excellent flavors and textures. We have a boutique wine bar, where your palate will awaken while we prepare your table.

It is a proven fact that Mediterranean food is one of the best ways to feed. It is full of health and flavor at the same time; each ingredient treated with importance and dedication when preparing, but also in a simple way… ingredients are not only valuable for their cost, but for their flavor and freshness. The original flavors of the ingredients are respected, but in a subtle combination that awakens the senses when you feel that crunchy asparagus slightly sautéed in olive oil… that oil… like brilliant liquid gold, with an emblematic flavor!

Now, at the Ramada Plaza Herradura, we have taken advantage of the ancient wit of the Mediterranean gastronomy, and we have made it available for people across the ocean. Here you will find juicy and mature greek olives, those who leave behind an intense mouth sensation… ideal to combine with a good wine! Roasted eggplant, stuffed tomatoes, and grilled zucchinis…

Here you can enjoy mouth-melting lamb chops, coupled with roasted garlic… left in very low heat, with deserved patience, until they soften… finally, a texture and a mix with olive oil that caramelizes… to a flavor fully appreciated by those who know a great dish! The freshest seafood and juiciest meat cuts, prepared with care on a delicate ritual… not to mention the almond-garlic-grape soup, a creation that will make your heart jump when touching your palate.

And then, a grand finale… sweets such as Baklava, where almonds and honey come together and form that alkemy of flavor… or that crème brulée, where caramelized sugar provides with a crunchy, yet soft consistency…

That’s what we are… Mediterranean feelings represented on its vegetables, meats and fish… every flavor coming from developed gastronomic cultures such as Spain, Italy, France, Morocco, Greece…

Open all week for lunch and dinner. See you soon!


Cual si fuera parte de la ancestral historia del Japón, el restaurante Sakura forma parte de la historia culinaria del Japón en Costa Rica. Antes del auge de la comida japonesa, específicamente del sushi, el restaurante Sakura ya contaba con años de experiencia con su chef japonés, deleitándonos con éstos manjares. Con productos importados y los mejores mariscos de nuestras costas, encontramos una mezcla de sabores que nos transportan a los palacios de los emperadores japoneses.

Nuestros famosos y tradicionales platos japoneses como el Shabu Shabu (lomito crudo con vegetales) o el Sukiyaki (lomito con la famosa salsa del mismo nombre) son una muestra de que la excelencia no esta solo reservada para unos pocos.

En un ambiente completamente japonés le ofrecemos nuestro “Sushi Bar” con los mejores sabores y el exquisito toque de nuestros cocineros que lo deleitarán con el famoso California Roll, Philadelphia maki o Rainbow maki.

O bien, si su necesidad es realizar negocios en la tradicional forma japonesa le ofrecemos nuestros cuartos reservados de Tatami donde de la forma más tradicional podrá compartir uno de nuestros famosos barcos de combinación de sushi con sashimi, acompañado de un delicioso Sake, frío o caliente. Pero si su idea es transportar a su familia a una experiencia donde no solo los sabores y los olores son parte importante, sino también el arte de la buena cocina japonesa, no dude en visitar el Teppan Yaki donde nuestro expertos cocineros le ofrecerán una magistral clase de cocina, cocinándole en su mesa y mostrando sus destrezas.

Para finalizar esta fiesta de sabores no puede retirarse sin antes degustar el famoso helado Tempura o la Banana Fujiya que darán el punto final a esta nueva experiencia.
