Very clean hotel, good service and breakfast. Best value for hotels close to UCR. Recommend choosing a superior room....well worth the difference in price. More

We just enjoyed 3 days at Ave del Paraiso hosting a workshop for 42 people, The Event salon is gorgeous, full of beautiful art and with high wooden ceilings, it has the feel of a cathedral, but it´s quaint and warm. The owner Marek went out of his way to attend to our every need and request. Many of the... More

Nice, well decorated hotel close to the San Jose University and Barrio Escalante. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. A/C, bathroom, tv included. Hotel serves breakfast, if you want more to eat you can go to the Crakovia cafe which serves excellent cheesecake and other meals. More

I loved this hotel! Very convenient to the San Pedro area and the university, the hotel features gardens, free breakfast in an enclosed patio, a jacuzzi, and outdoor workout area.
