Used these on one of my trips. Are they still a pain to cash?

Yes. The day of the debit card has rendered Traveler Checks almost obsolete.

ID is, as usual, correct - many places in CR will not accept TC's, period, for whatever reasons - I've been told some hotels, restrauants, merchants, et al feel uncomfortable because they can't "know" on the spot if the check(s) is good - easier to say no
