The name Alóki may sound Hawaiian but it is Bribri, an indigenous Costa Rican language, and it means “ray of sun.” Perhaps the North American owner was inspired by the morning sunlight that filters through the huge skylight covering the courtyard dining area.
As you enter, this formal central dining area almost steals the show from the magnificent hand-painted tile floors, antique furnishings, fresh tropical flowers and colonial ambience found in the guest rooms. It is a turn-of-the-century Spanish home in the true colonial style with rooms built around a center courtyard and a hall walkway surrounding.
In the case of the Alóki, the courtyard has been tiled and made into a restaurant with starched white linen and fine crystal. At back is a balcony overlooking the woods near the zoo. Here you’ll find a more informal but equally pleasing pub restaurant. Well worth a special meal out, even if you’re not in the hotel. Formerly called L’Ambiance.
