Hotels in San Juan

"A great last night in Costa Rica! Beautiful hotel with very helpful staff. I had a slice of chocolate cake waiting for me in the room as a welcome gift and the room was well stocked with all necessities and a very comfortable bed.The mall next door looks better than the ones I see in the US. The pool is currently not warm due to a heater not working but still a beautiful view. Will stay here again as I fly into Costa Rica. Everything was perfect !"

"Everything was pristine clean, comfortable, quiet, great shower! The staff were friendly and always helped me and I found what I needed. With only a few hours to explore, front desk staff helped me with recommendations, which I followed and appreciated! Food was fantastic! Thank you to all the staff! "

"Serenity Ecolodge, which truly lives up to its name. Nestled in the lush mountains of San Pedro de Poás, this eco-retreat offers sweeping views of the forest and nearby Poás Volcano that feel straight out of a dream. The warm hospitality from the owners, who go above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit costa rica!"

"Sandro was amazing! It was beautiful and tranquil! We got a. Couple massage at the spa and it was definitely the best deep tissue massage I have ever had! Thank you"

"The property was lovely and the staff was very nice and helpful"

"Be aware they have rooms without AC, they gave us a fan only room. We were supposed to get a Junior suite and it was nothing like the picture. Not enough towels for the three guests, small beds, close to the reception so the noise early in the morning was not fun at all. Property is nice, cold water pool was been clean so we couldn’t use it for day and a half. Good food, decent drinks prices."

"Chris and Luisa were amazing they make you feel home great breakfast, I highly recommend it "

"It was just what we wanted, a romantic get away The food was delicious and the cabin comfy, hot water, fireplace… Definitely a hidden place in the mountain "

"Clean and brewery on site was awesome "

"We enjoyed our stay at Margarita's place. She is a very sweet lady. Her staff very respectful and attentive. Breakfast was delicious and plenty variety. The family room was spacious and confortable. Definitely we would stay in our next visit to Costa Rica "

"Amazing hotel in the hills, but proximal to SJO. Very comfortable, clean, gorgeous grounds. Staff is super friendly and the included breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend!!"

"Easy airport access. Homey stay "

"Simple place for simple stay. Easy check in. Nice patio area with a good free breakfast for guest. Easy walking to restaurants etc. Does the job you need."

"We were looking for an “off-tourist” spot since we flew in from nyc and were driving up to La fortuna. This was an absolute gem. Plenty space for kids to run/play, hot springs, gorgeous river stream. We only had one morning, but would’ve easily stayed for a couple nights if we didn’t have our next stop scheduled! Totally recommend this place - be prepared as this is more like a high-end “glamping”. Plenty beds and sleeping accommodations. Very respectful and accommodating staff. "

"Beautiful place, everything in order and clean. Great location. "

"Couldn’t say enough nice things. The staff is phenomenal! Kind as can be "

"Tiffany is so helpful for trip suggestions for local and nearby city like San Jose and Catargo. She help us find place for dilicious food, souvenir store, and place for coffee form CR. She also provide price info so we are assured. With affordablenprice, this place is 3 blocks away from market, central sqaure, and 5 blocks from bus station to San Jose. You can also take the bus to airport."

"Nice and clean, wonderful nature and excellent hot springs pools "

"Great stay for a great price. Breakfast was delicious."

"My family absolutely loved this place. Kiddos loved the playground, open space and of course the donkey. What a treasure this location is. Highly recommend. The hosts, food and rooms were all great. "

"I was not aware it was in a home like neighborhood but it was nice. Finding the front desk was difficult but over all good! "

"We only spent one night here and arrived very late, yet the owner was patiently waiting for us. They make you a fresh breakfast. It's very affordable and very close to the airport. They don’t offer transportation, but that didn’t affect us since we rented a car. 100% recommended.""

"I plan on returning. The hotel is nestled in the heart of San Jose, it's a huge property. I chose it for the decor/culture of Costa Rica. I swam in a pristine Olympic sized pool, I saw several iguanas, and I don't know how many bird species and in the ceiling of my room, what I thought was a mouse, was actually a bird nest with new hatchlings, which was a bit disturbing when I was sleeping. I was offered another room, it wasn't as nice, so I declined. Understanding Costa Rica embraces nature and tries not to disturb the natural habitats so they didn't remove the bird family. I adapted, it wasn't too bad. I will say bring/use insect repellent. There are few screens on any windows (in Costa Rica), which is the norm. Each day there were many insects dead in my room, I used spray to avoid bites. They conserve energy so the main building is open, no a/c just fresh air and fans. The building is open, anything may fly or crawl through the lobby or your room if you have your patio door open. The staff was beautiful, professional and so kind. The deep tissue massage was deep. The food was delicious and not expensive. Not sure if free refills were free, one said no, the others gave them to me. Caesar salad, calamari and a entree with ginger ale was $33.67. If you want to be as close to being a local, I suggest the location. Feels like the ambulance just made me want to sit and enjoy each moment. Bring washclothes they only give towels and hand towels. Older charming resort."

"Very good location. Price was great. Breakfast was good. Stayed here because it's near the airport. Free parking too"
