Super 99
The place to stock up. It is 7 minutes' drive from the apartment and sells almost everything, except Ron Abuelo rum. Super 99 does not carry it because of an old rivalry between two presidents, believe it or not.
Grand Deli Gourmet
A café and delicatessen inside Buenaventura, at Plaza del Corotú: empanadas, breakfast, coffee and lunch, plus imported groceries, frozen food, fruit and vegetables, wine and desserts. There is a play structure next to it, so the children can climb while you shop. Ours loves it.
Felipe Motta Wine Store & Deli
A good choice of wine, spirits and beer, with charcuterie, bread and cheese. At Plaza Mayor in Puntarena.
La Contenta Market
A market and taquería that delivers to the door from Thursday to Sunday.
