Vina Romantica is located in the Las Pilas area of Alajuela which is a friendly and safe area. Its proximity to the airport is a plus. The staff arranges for taxi transportation to and from the airport for a nominal charge. Transportation for a day or two of sightseeing with an English speaking guide can also be arranged. Myself and... more

At first I wondered if we had the wrong hotel as our experience did not match the descriptions found on trip advisor. On arrival the thick iron door were off putting and made us wonder how safe the area was? When we arrived we were shown to the wrong room, there seemed some confusion about our arrival. So we moved... more

I apologized profusely to this guest for the behavior of the other guest who upset them and the dogs. My staff did go out of their way to prepare an extra early breakfast. Spa services are available upon request as advertised on the website and on the in-room information. I also refunded their money. The 6.2 earthquake whose epicenter was...

We arrived at the hotel on January 19,2010 at 3:30 pm after booking 2 weeks prior with another reputable search engine. We received a confirmation and this was our first night in Costa Rica. Upon arriving at 3:30 pm we noted the entire hotel appeared closed with the open sign off and all doors and gates closed. We knocked and... more

Vina Romantica was open on the date that was noted and all guests with reservations checked in. It seems some communication error happened between the booking agent and Vina Romantica. Please contact me directly through the website. I'll do my best to find out what went wrong and correct the error.

We stayed here our first night in Costa Rica. The room felt pretty basic, but was clean. The bed was comfy and the sheets were nice. There were some cracked tiles and the room felt a tad bit run down, like it might have been nicer at one point and hasn’t been maintained as well as it could have been.... more

As the owner, I wanted to say thank you to you for your help in translating for my staff while I was enjoying my first holiday in 4 years with my family and gorgeous 5 year old granddaughter in Seattle. I had hired an extra English speaking university student, but he could not be there all the time. Thanks again...

We stayed at the Vina Romantica for our first and last night of our Costa Rica trip. We stayed in different rooms the two nights, and both were very nice, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts each morning were great. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and we enjoyed the welcome drink. For our "hello" night we walked down the... more

We stayed at Vina Romantica after a week long visit. We had stayed in Arenal and also near Playa de Conchal, and were just looking for a place near the airport before our return flight. The price was right and the reviews were great, so we booked. The drive up the mountain was a little disconcerting, but once we arrived... more

AMAZING!

This small bed and breakfast was beautiful and a great way to end our trip in Costa Rica. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable! If you have a chance to have the cook make you dinner, it is a little pricey, but the fettuccine was outstanding! I highly recommend Vina Romantica! more

Very conveniently situated. Rooms a bit of the small size but clean and comfortable. We arrived late in the night and we were welcomed with excellent cocktails and a wonderful tropical fruit salad served in a lovely little terrace. The whole B&B has a very local cozy feeling to it, that is a perfect intorduction to Costa Rica. Owner very... more

We stayed here for two nights before heading to the coast. This was one of our top two favorite places to stay. Tim & Sherry were fabulous as were the rooms. I can't say enough about how lovely our stay was. We were greeted with welcome drinks after a rough drive to Alajuela which immediately helped us relax. The rooms... more

We stayed with Tim & Sherry in February at the front & back end of our two week Costa Rican vacation. The hotel is comfortable and clean. We very much enjoyed starting our day each morning on the outdoor patio area where we were welcomed by a delisciously prepared breakfast served with local coffee. Pros - close to the airport... more
