A friend and I stopped at La Amistad twice during our trip to Costa Rice - one night upon arrival and the last night before we returned to the US. During both stays, we had excellent service from the waitstaff, bartender, and front desk. Everyone was friendly and courteous. The owner was entertaining during our last breakfast, and Cesar was... more

I recently stayed at this hotel on my trip to Costa Rica. I stayed twice bookending my trip (at the beginning and the end). I thought the hotel was pretty nice. The bar and the food were very good. Asta, the person who runs the bar and the restaurant (I think), was super friendly and keeps the menu tasty. The... more

This was one of the worst hotel experiences that I have ever had. In fact, I'm surprised that this hotel is ranked as high as it is. While prostitution is legal in Costa Rica its nice to be able to walk in to a hotel and feel like you're not at a brothel. While we were having dinner at the... more

Hotel is quiet, very clean and has easy internet access. The owner Matt was great and had fabulous recommendations whenever we needed one. I would definitely stay there again! more

My brother, sister-in-law, and myself stayed one night in the Amistad. I found it centrally located, easy to travel from via taxi. The food was most excellent, service equally so. Continental breakfast was ready at the crack of dawn, a plus if you are an very early riser like myself.All staff were most hospitable and eager to help us out... more

The hospitality was unbeatable, Alex Palma set us up with a once in a lifetime private tour with Luis our driver who did a fabulous job and the tour was awesome! Matthew, the owner was very personable. They all made us feel very... more

I have actually stayed there twice, once during the renovations and recently. I am a business owner and previously traveled extensively for 10 years within and outside the USA. One thing I noticed which makes this place different. The OWNER is there during the day and his cell phone number is on the hotel card. First, I would like to... more

I recently stayed here for several nights and first impression was that it was a very nice hotel. I had a suite which was large and comfortable. The location of the hotel is just a ten minute walk to the downtown. It was suggested at night to take a taxi but I walked back and forth from downtown as late... more

I have stayed at the Hotel La Amistad on two different occasions. My first stay was in early July 2009. My most recent stay was in September 2009. I have stayed at other hotels in Costa Rica, but nothing compares to the value and attention you will receive at the Hotel La Amistad I have decided that when I travel... more
