The property is close to the airport and San José, however already very quiet and surrounded by pure nature. The host are very lovely. They really take care about you, even before you arrive with very good recommendations. The rooms are very nice, clean and have a wonderful view into nature. The breakfast was very good. It was served at the hotel room. We enjoyed it sitting in the terrace

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

The hotelstaff are helpful and speak english well. The Hotel are perfect to stay when you arrive late in San Jose or when you have a early flight out. It is situated close to the airport. Breakfast are served early and it makes it nice for early departure.The free taxi service offered was a great incentive to stay in the hotel. Swimmingpool was a nice bonus after a long day spend in central town. Will definitely do the same drill next time when enter or exit Costa Rica.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

We stayed here while attending the OCR World Championships at the National Stadium in San Jose. (https://worldobstacle.org/2024-ocrwch/ ) The hotel was fantastic—we had the best night's sleep and felt completely relaxed after using the pool and playing some pool. The breakfast was delicious! Even better news—Harry Jeffery (uk_ocr_harry ) actually won the FISO World Championships and is now a WORLD CHAMPION! Thank you for a great stay
