This is a fantastic hotel if you need to spend a night or two in San Jose before moving on to explore Costa Rica. It's a very comfortable place, with great service, a nice bar and beautiful grounds. I wouldn't base a vacation here because there are many more interesting places in Costa Rica to explore, but it's a great... more

This hotel is a luxurious colonial style place. You are surrounded by lots of plants and there's fresh air and you can hear the birds chirping. The rooms are clean, nice colonial/contemporary decor and the beds are great (Marriot beds). The breakfast has a fantastic selection and the gall pinto is really delicious. The hotel has 2 pools and also... more

Really nice place if staying near airport. However if you are going to be going to San Jose a lot it is about $15 one way via taxi. You may want to stay in town if a lot of trips to town or rent a car. more

I read other reviews and can’t imagine that there is better, service excellent and property is spectacular. Can’t see how you can wrong, very close to Airport and signs will lead you there easily, yes its hard to get lost with all the signs. more

The hotel was very nice - the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The service is great and the spa is not to be missed. The pools are wonderful - clean and relaxing! The only negative was that one of the restaurants were closed and after three nights we were sick of eating dinner at the same restaurant. more

Serv ice was impecable and with... more

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we wanted to stay the first night of our trip close to the airport so we chose the San Jose Marriott. WOW... What a beautiful Hotel it was!!!! The layout of the hotel is open and charming! The rooms are extremely quiet and comfortable. The only problem we had was that... more

Facilities felt more like a business hotel situated in a hacienda. If you've been to Camino Reals in Mexico, that's what it is like. Bathrooms could be those of a Courtyard/Residence Marriott type. It didn't help that all we heard were American business people griping in every facility of the establishment, and the food on offer in the only places... more

Otherwise, skip this hotel. The pictures online make this hotel look great, in fact its mediocre. The central courtyard is nice and romantic at night but the pool is small and overcrowded. The rooms are also small and nothing more than average. The best part of this hotel is their New Year's Eve party. What a fantastic band - we... more
