The rooms was extremely spacious and comfortable.
I am unsure if there were coffee pods for the coffee machine , this may be something to improve on.
The shuttle service for the airport was beneficial and convenient.

A good little place to stopover before a flight from San Jose. Nice leafy grounds (we saw an armadillo) and pretty old buildings. Comfortable room with a good bed and bedding. Nice hotel restaurant with friendly staff.

My stay was amazing!
From the airport shuttle, to the property with a fantastic view over the city, nice rooms/interieur, great breakfast menu to choose from to the super friendly and helpful staff.
Featuring 2 luxurious outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a gift shop, this hotel offers free Wi-Fi and 4 well-appointed meeting rooms to host events, receptions and weddings in San Jose.
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.

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.

For us La Rivera is a take off and arrival point, so the easy airport access is important. It is an easy walk to a phone store or Pali supermarket for some basics, and the local pista, church and park give you a safe introduction to Costa Rica. There is not much else to do in the immediate area.
This hotel was a gem! The photos did not do it justice. We booked it for our last night in Costa Rica and enjoyed it greatly. The surroundings and decor were tasteful. My husband also enjoyed a dip in the pool.
A big thank you to the staff members as they were exceptionally nice and helpful - I don't like coriander and the staff members did everything to make sure I would have no coriander in my food. If we go back to Costa Rica we will book a longer stay in this hotel as they also organise wildlife trips.
The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. She was also very kind to let us check into our room early. She also made sure to show us the room and made sure that everything was clean and working well inside. The room was also a great size and it included a full kitchen with appliances. That was a nice bonus. There is also an excellent local restaurant right across the street from the hotel, which was very convenient.
It was 15 min drive from the airport which made it comfortable after a long flight. Rooms were OK, the staff was nice and they had great Costa Rican breakfast option. Also, the hotel has side by side a good and cosy restaurant, for lunch or dinner options.
Finally, the garden was nice with great view. Highly recommend as it is great value for money, especially if you arrive after 5 pm in SJO and don’t want to drive at night.
The hotel grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and very lush. The views are nice since the hotel is on a hill. I was impressed by their greenhouse, and the pool area was very quiet. We spent one night here before our flight home after 8 days in Jaco. We walked to eat about 1 mile away in the Belen neighborhood and it is a very lovely area. Their staff were all super friendly and helpful. Airport shuttle was perfect!
Had to leave at 03.00 so no breakfast, but porter made us a coffee whilst we waited for taxi. The hotel had an old-world feel - was spacious and the room was comfortable and clean. There was a decent-sized pool which we didn't have time to use. We had dinner almost immediately after arrival which was tasty and plentiful. The staff were friendly and obliging.
We stayed in the hotel twice for arrival and departure. For us it’s highly recommend if you need a hotel close to the airport. Late check in and check out wasn’t a problem. The transfer from and to the airport is included and very flexible like you need it. The restaurant is also good and the breakfast very good with many options.
The staff is very friendly.
Felt very safe and looked after. As a 53 year old solo traveller this meant a lot to me. Staff were lovely Maura collected me from airport at home midnight and 15 mins we were at the hotel. Esteban on reception was very nice as were staff in the restaurant which had excellent food. Pool area was lovely as was the whole hotel.
We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.
Rachel the receptionist was just wonderful and the rooms were large and very well cleaned. In terms of proximity to the airport the hotel works - a short taxi ride. The hotel has a lovely pool and everything it needs to be a really great choice - yet I wouldn't choose it a second time.
Good location close to the airport, but not just a typical airport hotel. Good size rooms, super clean and friendly helpful staff. Decent complimentary breakfast too. We met an expat couple who always use this hotel when travelling in and out of the country and we could see why
The hotel is close to the airport. It has unlimited water and coffee at the reception. The staff is kind and helpful. I would suggestion learning some Spanish words here. The private room is quite big and has everything you may need as well as ventilation.
Ideal small boutique Hotel, awesome Restaurant on the property with Italian food. Excellent coffee, pastries, plus enjoyed a great dinner there before our flight home the next day. Transfer shuttle included to and from Airport!
1. The restaurant was very good, and there was also an excellent bakery immediately adjacent to the restaurant.
2. An adorable, friendly cat named "Sol" was at the reception area.
3. The hotel is very close to the airport.
The hotel is close to the airport and also has a restaurant next to it, therefore breakfast or any meal for that matter. The parking was great and staff also very nice. Pool looked pretty cool, did not get a chance to try it.
I arrived in the late afternoon and took dinner at the hotel. What I enjoyed most was Rachel practicing English with me while I practiced Spanish. Very courteous and pleasant young lady.
The hotel was close to the airport which was great after a long flight. The pool facilities looked nice however we didn’t get chance to use it as he had to be away early in the morning.
Loved it - could’ve stayed longer :-) Such a great hotel with lovely staff, incredibly spacious rooms and perfect location for an overnight stay ahead of an AM flight!
