Xandari Resort & Spa

Brillasol Airport Hotel

"Very homely. The hotel was needed for a one-night stop near the airport. Delicious breakfasts. Green territory. Seeing a hummingbird at dawn is priceless))"

Asclepios Wellness & Healing Retreat

"It was a terrible experience. The massage was fine but, after that, the sauna had not been previously warmed, so we had to wait half an hour. After the sauna, same story: the jacuzzi had not been turned on, so we had to use it with cold water. Finally, the food was so, but so bad, that we did not eat it at all. The soup tasted like warm water. Unsavory salmon, vegetables did not even have salt, peper or butter, it was so bad that even though we had already paid for it, we did not eat it and had to go to another restaurant to eat."

Hotel 1915 Inn & Suites

"I stayed 3 nights at the hotel to meet nearby clients. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming even when I arrived quite late at night. The room was super clean, the mattress was perfect - just firm enough without being hard - and the shower always had hot water. The house is an absolute gem with lots of little nooks and crannies with comfortable seating and furnished in keeping with the historic setting. The breakfast was amazing: fresh juice, endless coffee, fresh fruit and a great plate of pinto with the works including a tiny homemade tortilla. No buffet here! Pleasant and prompt service with a smile and served in a little courtyard. Central location within a short walk of the Juan Santamaria Museum and park. I look forward to returning!"

Toucan Hostel

"My experience did not quite match the enthusiastic reviews left earlier here. I think it's fine as a cheap airport stopover place, with a few caveats. The main one: be sure you get the right room! I was given a room two doors down from the office and the entrance to the hotel and it was very noisy, especially as the walls are paper thin and there are large windows between rooms that have been covered with dark film for privacy but of course let a lot of sound through. Oh right: it was kinda warm also and only had a small fan to blow air in from the hallway for ventilation. When I asked to change rooms I was told the only other option was a bunk room. Having already paid (big mistake!) I thought I'd give it a go. After a while I realized there was no way I'd be able to sleep with the noise so I asked to cancel and for a refund. They said that was not possible and then finally said there was another open room upstairs so I moved to there. It was much better and had a quiet air conditioner, so things worked out. But it's worth noting that even upstairs in the better rooms you hear everything in the hallway so are likely to be woken up at times unless you sleep very soundly. Personally, I'd go for one of the similarly priced Airbnbs in Alueta next time, even as the Toucan is not unreasonable for what it is. Oh right: it is true that it's very clean, as others have said, so that's good!"

Hotel Bamboo Aeropuerto

Airport SJO5 min -Marianas Apartments

Velaz Guesthouse

Villa Calas

"Nice hotel with friendly staff. Early checkin (30min) was possible and they stowed our luggage before. The Junior Suite was directly to the street, you hear noise all the night (also with closed windows). No flyscreen against Moskito. Fire place has no glass window. Hiking trails on the area. Nice big shower, small kitchen just with coffee maker and fridge. Some plates and cutlery would be nice, but we got it in the restaurant. Second bed very soft, pillows hard and soft to choose - good. You can choose breakfast from the menu. We can recommend it."

Hotel la Guaria Inn & Suites

"Excellent cost benefit"

El Rodeo Estancia Boutique Hotel & Steakhouse

"Lovely hotel, very clean and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed our stay and the pool was a great bonus! The steak house is also great!"
