Does Costa Rica use the same kind of electrical sockets as the U.S. and have 110 current? Or do I have to buy an adapter/converter to use my chargers and small electrical items in SJO?

Same as US, but no ground (3rd plug) Everything will work as if in the US

CR has 110V ac current. The outlets are a slightly different style than in the US but accept standard US plugs. If your appliances have a ground prong you will need one of those 3 to 2 adapters.

Don't the new wing rooms at Sportsmens have the 3-prong outlets?

I know my apartment does.

At last stay over Labor Day the answer to this is no.....

Actuall, Yes, the new wing does have the 3 prong outlets, the style is different and accepts the US 3 prong plugs. I have used them in All the rooms so far. You will find the 2 prong outlets in bar, courtyard, and "old" rooms in the courtyard area and "house" area. The new "Mansion" area will have the new 3 prong outlets as well.

I retract my earlier statement, although I stayed in Ilusion and El Rey my last two trips and did not notice. The outlet by the bed were 2 pronged sockets

They are deceiving looking as well. I thought at first they were only 2 prongs and used my European adaptors. Then later to find they will take the 3 prong, but only 1 way, with the ground prong down.

The Presidente has 3-prong plugs, so does the Del Rey. I've always been able to plug in my laptop's cord with no problem.
