We had a lovely stay—thank you so much to Melissa and to Claudia from the restaurant next door for all your help! The apartment was clean, secure, quiet, and very close to the airport, which was super convenient. We ended up needing to stay an extra night, and Claudia kindly made sure everything was sorted for us. Check-in and check-out were smooth and self-service, which made things really easy. We left the apartment just as we found it. Thank you again for a great stay in San José!

"Escondida" (hidden) is really not exaggerated. The Airbnb is really an oasis is an otherwise rather ordinary and rather busy city what Alajuela is. But within the Hacienda, it's all peace and quiet, with a wonderful view on a rather large garden an a swimming pool with the perfect temperature. The rooms are impeccably clean and spacy. But what interested me at least equally was the fact that I discovered actually flies of the fly family I am specialized in, which was a great surprise. Hence the score 10/10 for our residence.

Excellent location, just about 15 minutes from the airport. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great advice on everything we asked. Our room was very spacious, and the beds were super comfortable. We especially loved the terrace and the delicious breakfast served directly to our room, which we enjoyed with a lovely view of the jungle. Overall, everything was perfect, room was very clean and we would definitely recommend this place!

I loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.
