“It meets our needs and is a great value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We stayed here on 1/24/12. Hotels in Costa Rica are pretty expensive in high season. We arrived one day early for our tour and needed a reasonably priced place to stay before moving to the designated hotel for the tour. We arrived San Jose pretty late in the evening so only needed to stay the night, have breakfast and then check out. The pros I see about this hotel are: free pick-up at the airport by a car service, fairly large and clean room, very cozy & quiet, friendly staff, great complimentary cook to order hot breakfast (pancakes, omelets...etc), free wi-fi, responsive reservation support (e-mail inquiries responded to within 24 hours), coziness of hotel AND PRICE.

PS: Cost of living in Costa Rica is quite high. At the supermarket within the new Multi-Plaza mall (in the expensive area of San Jose), I bought a bottle of water for around $1 and a local beer for $1.50. In the front desk area of the Adventure Inn is a small frig and similar items cost about $2.00 each. Not bad.

Thank you for your wonderful review. One thing I would just like to comment on is that our little tuck shop at the front desk (where we sell water, beer, soda, newspapers and snacks) is completely staff run and the proceeds go directly to them.

“Adventure Inn...Reasonably priced, clean and a safe place to start your own adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

This was my first trip to Costa Rica and Adventure Inn was reccommended to me. I am very happy with all their services. They picked my daughter and I up at the airport. We were 2 women traveling alone and it was wonderful to have somebody waiting for your arrival when you were not familiar with your surroundings. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and the food was also good. Breakfast is a perk and plentiful. The hotel dining room and lounge were very pleasant and a relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful pool and hot tub. We stayed here on our first night and last night. This was an excellent choice and we were able to make connections to our final destination which was Punta Uva. Transportation to and from the airport is complementary. I will be back next year for more fun and I will start at Adventure Inn!

“For the Price=Excellant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We stayed at adventure inn at the beginning of our Costa Ricain adventure and at the end. The rooms we got were great (comfortable beds, really clean), We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant of the hotel and we were really pleased.Great food!
We had booked our rental car via the hotel. When the guy showed up with the jeep it was a company we had asked a quote from while we were preparing our trip. The price we paid via the hotel for the same car we had got a quote for was 225$ cheaper...for the same car!
Don't hesitate to stay here. The staff are great, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the food was really good!

“Adventure Inn Hotel is beautiful, safe and spotless.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I am fortunate to be a guest at Adventure Inn Hotel. My reservations changed, and they were very accomodating. The Hotel is beautiful, and decorated in an ancient tropical fashion. From the whimsical statues, to the koi pond, an intriguing image awaits around every corner. They offer a full breakfast in the morning which includes fresh fruit, cheese, coffee, banana bread, and toast, as an appetizer with a full gourmet menu included. I had the banana pancakes for breakfast which were light and fluffy. For dinner I had their cheese burger and fries. The burger was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing flavor. The fries are hand cut and seasoned perfectly. The staff are very friendly and helpful and really make me feel safe and sound. The rooms are large, a safe is offered, there's a bidet by the toilet, and a kidney shaped pool and hot tub. Free Wi-Fi, international calls, and local calls are included. I rate this A++.

Room Tip: I don't think they have a bad room, the whole place is lovely.

“Don't agree this is a good hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I don't understand why this hotel gets such a high review. It is over priced, it is just a regular motel. Not worth the money,

Give us a break! What motel offers free international phone calls, four free high speed internet guest computers, a free library, free WiFi throughout the property, free airport transfers, accurate Costa Rican travel info and lowest cost arrangements for tours, transfers and car rentals, a concierge / security person to help with your luggage and show you your room, a lovely new outdoor solar heated pool and Jacuzzi, dozens of Mayan statues, Costa Rican art and exotic plants throughout, free guarded parking and full security cameras, a full complimentary all you can eat buffet and hot served breakfast, a great little restaurant and bar overlooking the pool, modern spacious A/C smoke-free rooms with remote control ceiling fans, comfortable new queen-size beds, cable T.V. with 60 channels, a direct-dial telephone, a coffee maker, a hair dryer, a large modern tiled bath, but more than anything, our honest, well-meaning friendly staff? All this for around $100 double occupancy including 13% tax and the reviewer thinks we are overpriced? Is this review is even legitimate?
