“If you are looking for a place nearby the airport, or just want to relax for a day in-between: this one is a no brainer”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2010

Utrecht, NL, 15-06-2010

If you are looking for a great place to start your trip to Costa Rica, a centralised place to overnight while travelling from north to south or east to west Costa Rica, this is it!

We spend several nights in perfect clean and large rooms. The hotel has a nice garden with swimming pool and simple bar. At arrival in CR we were picked up at arrival in CR. The next morning the owner Peter already arranged us a rental car. Perfect and no hassle.
During our stay in Costa Rica and Panama we returned here 2 more times, and spend our last day before travelling back home again.

If you are looking for a place nearby the airport, or want to relax for a day in-between travelling Costa Rica: this one is a no brainer…

“Great start of our holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2010

When we arrived at the airport the owner picked us up, good service when you arrive in a strange country. The rooms are nice and clean and there are great beds, also the breakfast the next morning was very good with fresh fruit and a lot of variety. We loved the pool and the nice garden with a lot of birds. We enjoyed our first 2 nights in this nice hotel with very kind owners and will stay there again when we return next year.

“service you will find nowhere!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2010

The owners of Dos Palmas are so friendly and they are specialists in facilitating. Dutch people like a good hotel for a good price and friendly people who know what you need especially when you have travelled a long day and that is what Peter and Flor understand. They arrange a taxi, a good rand cheap rental car, they give you all the information you want and they help you with everything you need. It is a small but cosy hotel, with large and nice rooms. You feel like being with a family, but with a lot of privacy. A nice swimming pool and tennis court to give you the right feeling of the beginning and ending of a nice holiday. We arrived in Costa Rica in the late evening of januari 31 th. There was a warm welcome at Dos Palmas, Peter had some firework, we got champagne and we got spontanious hugs from whole family!
On our way back we stayed 4 days becouse our passports were stolen and we had to arrange temporary passports and visa for our transfer in houston. Peter and Flor helped us with really everything! We could use their cellphone, we got the most beautifull room they have got, they wanted to borrow us money and they answerred all our questions with immense patience. We will never forget what they did for us and every vacation in the future will start and end at Dos Palmas!

“Little paradise near to the airport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010

We stayed in Dos Palpas from December 17 to 19 and from December 31 to January 2nd.
An ideal place to start our holiday in Costa Rica and to have some relaxed days at the end of our holiday.
Everything we already aranged from home by mail was ok:
The transfer from the airport. The car rental. And the biggest surprise: the "room" we rented was a real "house" only for our family...
Nice garden, swimming-pool and breakfast-corner/bar.
Peter and Flor were always verry helpful: thanks for a beautifull stay!
Lieze, Dries, Monique & Erik.
Tip: if possible: don't bring flowers with you to pleasure Peter (they have enough of them in their garden) but a bottle of "hollandse frietsaus"....

“A verry good start of my vacation in Costa Rica”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2010

Just when i landed , the owner Peter picked me up from the airport. A verry friendly person. It was a warm welcome and he showed me my room. Fixed me allready breakfast and arranged me a cab for the next morning because i had an early flight to Puerto Jeminez.(Pto J)The room was nice and clean, so i had a good sleep. After 8 days in Pto J i slept here an other night in casa rustica a verry nice traditional Costa rican stiled room. Perfect again! Here I met Peters hardwarming wife Flor. She was verry nice to us and is a really nice person. Peter is a lucky Guy ;) Definitly a place to come back when i'm in Costa Rica!

Greetings from,

Michel de Haan (i'll be back)
