I loved the garden and the cold towel the front reception gives you upon arrival. I wish I could have stayed longer here, but my flight home was early in the morning. Beautiful property with views of the mountains. Restaurant was good and so were the drinks. Would love to come back.

This hotel checked a lot of boxes - close to the airport without being in the city, the villa we stayed in had a beautiful balcony overlooking the city, coffee and banana trees all around, with bird-watching/listening (saw a family of green parrots, too) first thing in the morning. The complimentary breakfast (choice of pancakes, huevos rancheros, traditional costa rican rice and beans) was small but adding coffee, juice, toast and sweet cornbread from the bread station made it sufficient. We had a rental car and were just barely able to park in the full parking lot. I highly recommend going out to eat at Restaurante El Mirador del Valle - a 3m drive or walk up the hill - which has an incredible view, a parking attendant, and was empty on Friday night before 8pm. The airport is a quick drive away depending on traffic. There is a very small playground, a short coffee trail, a small pool (which was just big enough for our small group), Britt espresso coffee pods and espresso machine in our villa. You can hear traffic from the nearby road at night, but it wasn't too disruptive. The staff was kind and helpful.

The king size bed was so heavenly! The room was spacious and clean. I didn't like the smell of the soaps and shampoos provided, but I had my own anyway. There is no countertop space in the bathroom but that wasn't much of an issue. We didn't get to explore the hotel much, but it was a nice stay. It was a 30 minute drive to the airport without traffic, but the driver told us it can take up to an hour and a half in heavy traffic!

Only 30 min from the airport, up in the coffee covered hills above the very vibrant Alajuela neighborhood, is the best, not too expensive hotel in San Jose. Wonderful staff, beautiful grounds and gardens, nice food and a very relaxing setting. We really enjoy spending our last night, after puddle jumping and before getting on that big old jet liner, just decompressing in affordable luxury. Go there, you'll be glad you did.
