"Very convenient place to stay for our early connection the next morning up to La Fortuna. Clean, comfortable, and the breakfast was fabulous."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"Everything was nice… eggs were a little runny for scrambled and the fried plantain were over ripened which made them mushy. Todo estuvo bien… los huevos estaban un poco líquidos para ser revueltos y el plátano frito estaba demasiado maduro, lo que lo hizo blando."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Ok"

Poas Volcano Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The lodge is beautiful, and an impressive piece of architecture. Staff are super friendly and helpful, and food is very good. There's a pool table and game room downstairs in the lodge, which we definitely took advantage of with the weather turned against us. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained. Note that when you turn off the main road you drive past quite odiferous cow sheds and through a pasture...just have faith and keep driving to the lodge. The actual rooms appear to be the old bunkhouse, so they're a bit odd; the rooms are functional for the most part, but ceilings are quite low and the bathroom is sort of an elongated closet, so they have a weird feel. The walls are thin, but the other guests are quiet, so it all works out fine. WiFi is good in the rooms. No AC, but the elevation is high enough that we didn't need it. Good launching point to visit Poas Volcano early in the morning. We would stay again."

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Es gracias al personal de este Radisson que seguimos alojándonos aquí. Siempre son muy atentos y nos reciben con una sonrisa. Desde el personal de limpieza hasta el del restaurante, seguridad y recepción, todos son muy amables y cordiales. También apreciamos el excelente mantenimiento y la limpieza del hotel, así como su constante renovación y mejora del entorno."

Peace Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful resort. The bathroom is fabulous. The bed is comfortable and the fireplace takes a chill off in the evening. The food in the restaurants is good with lots of choices. The grounds are very well maintained. The view is awesome and the park is amazing."
