What a delightful stay. The whole property is lush and beautiful and huge- an amazing retreat so close to the airport after a long flight. The bed was comfy, the staff were accommodating, the pool was great. I’ll definitely be coming again next time I’m passing through San Jose. A tranquil gem, just what I needed. Thank you!

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.

Alajuela is the area of metro San Jose that is next to the airport. Old central american town center with some old buildings and then various neighbouroods around it. Really not much to see. Main reason to be here is 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 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.

The location is very good. Only a short walk to the City Mall and a 7-10 minute drive to the airport. If you are even in a decent physical condition, you can walk to the airport with your backpack. There are numerous restaurants nearby and even more in the City Mall. Also a cheap (at least in costa rican prices) soda right outside the door. The place felt safe and there is a well locked main door into the hotel. Also a well equipped kitchen is in the house if you have time to cook by yourself. Coffee machine is also provided.

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
