the hotel was well situated and the grounds were very nice. The room was comfortable and clean. The food was good. We stayed there overnight on our way home and it was very adequate. They arranged for us to be picked up at the airport, then taken to the hotel to drop off our luggage. We then proceeded to a... More

This was my second trip to Costa Rica and this hotel was number one on my list of places to return to. I will not go through all of the things that are repeated through all of the reviews: friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere, safe and secure, as I think this is well established. Instead I will mention some of the... More

Stayed here our first and last night of our Costa Rica vacation. Beautiful grounds, nice room, 15-20 minutes from the airport, and very friendly staff. And a good price. Highly recommend this hotel. Have dinner at Chery's around the corner. More

We stayed there with our 3 girls and my mom before she left for Canada (we are still here for 3 months) and had a family suite that was perfect for us. The furniture and bathroom is a bit old, but all was clean (and smelled pretty strongly of cleaners...). The pool was pretty cold adn breakfast was really average,... More

I began and ended my first trip to Costa Rica at Hotel La Rosa de American and highly recommend it! Our plane arrived late on the night of November 25 - around 11 pm, which meant we were arriving at the hotel after it had closed for the night. One of the great bonuses of this hotel is its close...

Thank you for your detailed review of La Rosa! We are happy that you and our banana bread became well acquainted! It was no problem to give you a late check-out.

This is the fourth time that the Cornell Wind Ensemble (@48 students) has stayed here as part of our performing and service-learning tours. It's proximity to the airport, friendly and accommodating staff, and secure and beautiful grounds make it a must when we visit. My only complaint would be the barking dogs late at night and early morning...but that's Costa... More
