Hotels With Airport pickup service in Alajuela, Costa Rica

We absolutely appreciated this hotel on our way in and our way out of the country. Clean, crisp, cool, and comfortable. The shuttle to the airport takes just a couple of minutes and is incredibly easy to use. The breakfast we plentiful and the coffee hot and fresh. There are a few places around to eat, but mostly we were here to sleep and shower in comfort and cleanliness.

My tour operator booked me at Magic Mountain for the weekend on the last part of my trip after I came from Monteverde by ferry in Lake Arenal. The receptionists for all the days were great to me and helpful. My room was taken care of each day. A fridge was available to keep my drinks cold. The room had air conditioning when you need to turn it on. The bathroom had what I needed in fresh towels and a hair dryer, but my one criticism which I already let the receptionist know on my last day is that there needs to be a soap/shampoo/conditioner rack or holder in the shower as the only place to put these items is either on the floor or in a window ledge above you which is not ideal. The balcony view of the back of the hotel was really something when you can see Arenal Volcano in the background on clear days. The swimming pool area (with a bar right beside it) and hot tubs were nice to relax if you were not going out and wanted to hang around the hotel. Their restaurant is a nice place to eat if you did not want to go out, but at least the breakfast choices and service such as asking for a chef to make custom omelettes were very good. I think that sums up what I remember since a week ago. I can say overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

If you’re arriving late at San Jose Airport and have an early flight in the morning, I would without a doubt stay here again. The complementary shuttle service that runs every 30min is so convenient and the location is excellent with a Walmart right across the street for your last minute necessities. The staff is super friendly, the bed is comfy and the rooms are clean. The shower pressure is quite low though but apart from that there’s nothing I can think of. Taking into account the time of the year the room cost more than I wanted to spend, but given the overall convenience and experience all in all it was worth it and I’m looking forward to staying here again when I fly out from San José.

Really a very old hotel! The layout and facilities of the room are really old! But still very clean! The surrounding area is very desolate, there is nothing to visit, and there is no way to go out. The better is the hotel charter. For transiting near the temporary airport, you can make a night out!

We stayed here on our first night after we landed in San Jose. It is a great location only 60 min away from the airport. They pay attention to all the small details like having an umbrella outside your room. Nestled in the countryside they have multiple trails to choose from.

Liked the convenience and experience of the hot pools. Nice separate cabins and good breakfast and pleasant staff.

Wow....I can't say enough good things about this location. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left this was 5 star all the way....we wish we had stayed longer and will definitely come back. The drinks at the bar were phenomenal and the Guaro Sour drink itself is enough to make you want to stay. The view from the room is something out of a dream. I do know we were lucky and no rain and could see the volcano all day all 3 days we were there. The rooms were immaculate and the hot tub is a nice touch. Might not be the best place for a family vacation as there are no activities for kids but for couples you couldn't find a more romantic place. Nonetheless our 14 year boy enjoyed his time there and spent more time admiring the views and wildlife than playing on his phone....even without being forced. Speaking of wildife we saw dozens of bird species, coatis, reptiles & the highlight....a friendly armadillo paid us a visit! I could go on and on but you get the picture.....lastly a special shout out to Jorge at the front desk....he knew and did all to make our trip even better. Thank you Jorge and the rest of the staff for making the first part of our trip unforgettable!

I was here for coworking for about 3 weeks so got to know the place pretty well. I do not think CoLive is worth the value, was told I get discounts on food and drink and that was never honored. And got just as good WiFi in my room and shared spaces so no need to pay extra. The real gem of my stay was Charles, his yoga classes were more advanced depending on his am or pm class but amazing and accommodating to all skill levels. Best Selina yoga classes I had my whole trip. The staff was friendly even with their limited English, knew me by name. My standard room smelled of mildew and the kitchen cook wears need replacing and please get new knifes. Bummed that the social spaces closed at 10pm. Left us with no where to go because night life isn’t abundant in La Fortuna. Loved the layout of this Selina. One main social space right by the pool where everyone would gather there. Locals even came to enjoy the pool on hot days and never felt crowed, fun social events even if they were not always busy I’m glad they were available to solo travelers like me! The music they booked and played was surprisingly really good. Definitely worth a stay at this location

As a family of 6 french people, we spent 2 days there in 3 rooms. Even if it was cloudy and so did not have the luck to see the volcano facing our room in full size; the landscape, the colors and the wildlife were amazing. Muchachos are friendly and helpful. Breakfast typical or continental is good too. It is possible to have lunch or dinner from fast food to local type that are ok too. I really liked the casados. Our bedroom were clean and typical, the mattress was ok for me and my wife, not too hard nor too soft. The problem came from the main road below the accomodations. Due to the lack of soundproofing, it was really noisy. And even if it was quiet between let say midnight and five; the rest of the time, it was really annoying. That is a point they have to improve. For this I give 4 star instead of 5. Another point, tripadvisor says it is a french speaking hotel, but it's not, at least the crew we met. Even if one of them really friendly knew some few words.

The room, service, and location where great! The breakfast buffet was very good!

We stayed just one night at the hotel and were impressed by the lush grounds, beautiful pools and stunning views of the Arenal Volcano. The check-in process was smooth and the staff we interacted with were very pleasant. The bungalow was nicely appointed, rustic, with beautiful gardens surrounding it. The space was quite large with lots of storage, a small table, sitting area, large bathroom and a small kitchenette area with fridge, microwave and coffee maker. And the price - WOW! The grounds were full of tropical plants and we saw many birds and were visited by hummingbirds on our porch. The back of the property has a large pasture with great views of the volcano. We walked back there in the early morning to take in the surroundings - volcano views, parrots, monkeys - just perfect. Breakfast was a HUGE typical breakfast, a great way to start the day. For the price, this location is awesome! It’s a bit out of town and one would need a car or taxi. We dined at Jalapas, enjoyed a day pass at The Springs, did the Don Juan Coffee & Chocolate Tour and the Sloth Walk at Bogarin Trail. All excellent! We had bungalow #38, which was quiet and situated away from the pools. Next time I would choose a bungalow further back from the main entry as you do hear some road noise (mostly large trucks gearing down). For those on an even smaller budget, rooms 13 and 19, in the buildings at the back of the property have STUNNING views of the volcano.

With friendly and helpful staff, this hotel is sweet, easy to get to, and shuttle every half hour for domestic and international terminals. The food was pretty good - though breakfast is expensive. It would be nice if you could order ala carte.

Very caring people, beautiful and safe hostel. Yami is soooo nice and fun! She cooks breakfast and is so loving! The breakfast is included. I highly recommend staying here! Everything was clean and organized. Very very close to the airport also!

I appreciated that the room was spotlessly clean, with all sorts of amenities. The staff was very proactive and helpful, and the location right across from the airport was the main reason I chose it. The problem, though, is that our room (#135) had no window curtains to block out light. All it had was a flimsy screen that you could easily see through. I imagine anyone passing by the first floor room would have been able to see inside the room, because it was easy to see outside through the screen. At night-which comes very early in the tropics-the light from eight powerfully bright lights in the parking lot lit up our room. There was no way to darken the room, the light was so bright you could have read by it. None. Hence I got NO sleep because the room was lit up. Please, put up black out curtains.
