We stayed there last night and loved it, it was the perfect welcome to Costa Rica. The staff over there were very very helpful, they upgraded us to an executive junior suite. The room was huge and with all the amenities. If this is not enough, on arrival they give you a cookie which is surely the best I ever... More

We stayed here a total of 3 nights in January 2012: 1 night at the start of our 16 day stay in Costa Rica, and 2 nights at the end. The hotel is located half-way between the airport and San Jose, so there's traffic, but not as much as closer to the capital. We brought our own GPS from home... More

I liked the feel of the hotel, as it didn't look like a business hotel at all, and was more similar to a resort. It is located very close to the airport, which is great, and has a nice mall close by, with lots of decent looking restaurants. There's also a 'fresh market' as soon as you step out of... More

After spending three nights at the Royal Dutch hotel downtown San Jose, this was paradise. Attractive Courtyard, reasonably priced (I think I paid $149 per night), nice swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, and the food was good. Our room was clean, new, and good amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The courtyard where the pool is located is... More

After a long flight out of Vegas via Phoenix, we decided to spend a night in San Jose before our 3.5 hour trip to Gaia in Manuel Antonio. I was very surprised! Instead of a cookie cutter chain hotel this had quite a bit of ambience and friendly service. It's airport close and the balcony rooms are very nice with... More

This hotel bills itself as a resort, but it's also very convenient to San Jose International (Santamaria) Airport. The rooms are modern, clean, comfortable, and quite reasonably priced (quite a bit lower than the closer "airport hotels"). The restaurant serves good food, also at reasonable prices. The included breakfast was very good. There is no airport shuttle, but a taxi... More

Stayed here on a 6 day business trip to San Jose and I could not have been more pleased. Located less than a 10 min (~$10) cab ride from the airport, the property is beautiful and kept very well. The grounds and my room were pristine. Decor was warm and inviting and the room was very comfortable with all the... More

For being and older hotel, it was maintained very well and the Staff was one of the best that I have seen. The... More
