Great option close to the airport
We flew in late and just need a place to stay for 1 night before we headed to La Fortuna. It was very close to the airport and had a few restaurant options to walk to which was great!

Best stay in San Jose!
One of the best hotels in terms of service we’ve ever stayed in. The most delicious breakfast with standard breakfast things plus a ton of local items (including the most delicious fruit)! Each staff member we met was incredibly helpful, kind and welcoming. 10/10!

Best choice to stay by airport
Amazing stay! Great experience from the moment you check in. Rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, great showers. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! Definitely better than most breakfasts that you have to pay premium for. Attendant was amazing and kept on bringing us fresh exotic fruits to try. Love their Gastronomy tour in the evenings were a bonus. Shuttle service to airport was great.

Great stay if you are flying in or out of San Jose. Shuttle runs every 15 or 20 minutes and only takes 5 minutes to get to airport. Breakfast is great for a chain hotel with lots of options. Nice staff. Clean snd comfortable

Pura Vida!
Thsi turned out to be perfect for our family of 7 to stay on the night of our arrival, and then again for the night before our departure. All of the staff was so kind and helpful, and having places to eat right next door, walking distance, was a bonus. Also, the car rental agency that we were getting our vehicle from was also right there for us to walk to, much easier than taking car rental shuttles. The hotel's 24 hour shuttle to and from the airport was great as well.
