The Staff, are amazing nothing was too much for them and so friendly. The room was so comfortable, we had a great sleep and air-conditioning was icing on the cake. For the cost we can't recommend Casa Garitas highly enough.

The apartment was very cutely decorated, had plenty of places to sit, dishes, fans in both of the rooms, dressers and drawers to put your things away, and lots of outlets! Plus the WIFI was very strong, there were cold water bottles in the fridge upon arrival, and tea and coffee were available as well. Luis was very kind and picked me up from the airport when my flight arrived. He was very helpful!

It was actually a very comfortable stay. The owner was very helpful. I timed it, and it took 15 min to walk to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. Alajuela has cool nights, so lack of AC was not a problem. Great budget option for late arrivals or early morning departures.

We loved how close this property is to the airport but the best part was meeting Yadira, the very lovely owner. She is so friendly and welcoming. A great introduction to Costa Rica.
A convenient stay at the favorite hotel for travelers with complimentary transportation to and from the Juan Santamaria International Airport. Surrounded by a variety of dining options.

Very good location, close to SJO Airport, free and frequent shuttle to/from the airport, good airconditioned, quiet room, perfect for a good night sleep after a longhaul flight. Breakfast was really good, the gallo pinto and fried plantains were exceptional. Breakfast was available from early morning. Close to walmart and atm (as the one inside the airport didn't work).

Proximity to Airport!
Proximity to Airport! This facility standards were substandard. My wife hurt her foot on a dangerous doorstop, sewer gas was overwhelming, no hot water, air conditioner was not hooked up, pumping hot air back into the room. The stairs right from ground level were dangerous. English was non existent with staff. They were courteous and helpful. There were no privacy coverings on the windows. Open hole in Bathroom ceiling.

Nice little place with great restaurant on side and a parking, staff that is very friendly, nice garden and a pool. The beds could be better but room was nice and spacious. This was our second time and will be back. It is a good option for before or after airport night. Only downside is the sound of the airplanes and a construction noise from behind the rooms that starts from early morning.

This was a great place to stay for one night. For a small additional fee, I was picked up at the airport and very early the next morning I was taken to where I had to meet my tour bus. Also, after I left I discovered that I had left my phone charger in the room. I contacted them and they were kind enough to take it to the hotel in San Jose where I would be staying in a few days.

Cute little town near the airport. Probably not a destination, but, if you have a night to kill before flying out, it's fine. Otherwise, there isn't anything I know of to draw visitors. Couple cute restaurants on the main street. Felt safe walking around after dark.

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.

We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do.
We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do. The church in the center of town was welcoming, and there are a lot of restaurants with good food and service. The bussing to other areas (San Jose and Heredia) is well marked and has an appropriate schedule. Plus, the area felt safe to walk after sunset. Because of its convivence, we extended our hotel stay to stay in the area, and only bussed to San Jose for the day.
