I recently traveled to Costa Rica for business trip and pleasure and I would have to say that it was a great atmosphere, their staff and owner treat you like family and make you feel very welcoming. Next time i am around Costa Rica i will stay at Villa Dolce and i would recommend this great Hotel to anyone traveling... More

This hotel was recommended to my wife and me as we were trying to avoid San Jose due to President Obama's impending trip and were afraid of traffic and blocked streets. We were a little apprehensive at first to stay in Alajuela as the neighborhoods we had seen were not that great, but were assured that the hotel and area... More

We stayed at Villa Dolce three times during our two week trip to Costa Rica and were glad that we chose this hotel. It was a treat to stay in such a lush little oasis. We stayed in three different rooms: two villas and a double room. Some people have mentioned road noise, but we weren't bothered by that in... More

We spent one night in the hotel Dolce Villa and had a lovely experience. The sitting area was nice and we had a great pizza for dinner. I loved the painted art painted in the lobby area and thought that the room was decorated nicely. Only draw back was the shower did not have very hot water. I would return.

This is our third trip to Costa Rica, our second in a row making Villa Dolce our first and last night in country. Randall is still great and on top of directions; the pizza is still our first and last night's dinner. We'll be booking again next year! Great place, great hosts and great location!

We stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica. There was no A/C, I fell down the steps outside due to a burned out light. When I complained about it they said it was because it had rained out. Pretty flimsy excuse for a country that gets rain 6 months out of the year. No appology was extended. The... More

Stayed for one night before leaving Costa Rica. The staff spoke english and were helpful. Got a room a little walk from the reception. There were no light outside the room and a little struggle to walk the path and find the keyhole after dark. Although they promise A/C we just got a ceiling fan and the wifi didn't reach... More

We ended our 2 week vacation in Costa Rica at the Hotel Villa Dolce and enjoyed our stay.The rate was very reasonable. It is close to the highway , but did not notice the noise in the evening while in the room. The property is beautifully maintained and the rooms and common areas are very clean. Loved the pool. The... More

I am a light sleeper and ear plugs were a must for me here. With ear plugs, it was fine. The hotel backs up to the Pan American highway – the main highway in Costa Rica. I stayed in room 4 which is about as far away from the highway as possible (@ 100 yds.). Large trucks and buses pass... More
