The Multiplaza has a new department store!

The Multiplaza is growing!  Over the past year we have watched the progress of growth as the largest shopping mall in San Jose has proceeded to grow even larger.  This double decker has added a new three level wing in addition to a large new parking deck.  We heard from a friend that it was now open so we decided it was time to go and check it out. 

WOW!  The mall was already huge and offered a large variety of specialty stores, a large theater (in Spanish of course) and a food court filled with American fast food chains but there were no large department stores like we have in the states.  Well they have now filled that void with the newest addition of Siman!  Clothing, Cosmetics, Shoes, Furniture, Housewares, Electronics......all in one great big department store!  And it is so beautiful!  Shiny and bright with relaxing music in the background it is a shoppers wonderland!

 

  

  

  

  

 
 

The lines you see on the photo

to the left are streams of water falling from the 

ceiling waterfall that falls three levels 

to a pool on the bottom floor!

It brings the Pura Vida feeling inside

to give you that relaxed cool feeling.

We browsed around, compared prices (not bad!),  got touchy feely with some shoes and purses, were greeted with big smiles by the make up artists in cosmetics and enjoyed the delicious smells coming from the perfume department.  Siman is located in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua and this is their first store in Costa Rica.  For more about this great store visit www.siman.com

We walked through the new wing of the mall to check out what new stores were added.  Oh My!  What a nice selection!  They have added 86 new stores and a nice new Food Court that includes a McDonalds, Inca Grill and several other interesting dining choices.  There is even a tot playground located under one of the escalators!  A new desert experience in the old food court called Rice 'n' Smile where you can get every flavor of rice pudding that you ever dreamed of plus a few more lured us in and I could not resist and tried the tiramisu along with a big cup of Costa Rican coffee!

The shopping experience is enhanced for parents

with their children in tow by

offering a train ride through the mall!

The Multiplaza is a great place to shop and dine

and the new  Autopistas del Sol

makes it a pleasant and quick drive to get there! 

                                                                                

Multiplaza Mall, is located in Guachipelín de Escazú, on the Santa Ana Freeway, adjacent to the Hotel Real Intercontinental Plaza Roble Corporate Center.

It was an exciting shopping day and made living in Costa del Sol even more desirable 

knowing that with the new shorter drive we can and enjoy a shopping in the newly improved Multiplaza and the Siman Department Store!
