Top Zapote Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Le personnel"

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is extremely clean, beautiful, and comfortable to stay at with a young family of 5. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, modern and clean. The restaurant has great food. It’s a quick 3 minute ride to the airport and the hotel has a clean and easy shuttle that will take you. This hotel is very convenient and high end. Highly recommend"

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Presidente. The staff were very friendly and helpful; we even got a free room upgrade when we arrived. The room was beautiful as well. The location is hard to beat, being perfectly located in downtown San Jose, and it is gated and feels safe and secure. The only thing I wish was that it is quite pricey with limited amenities (no pool, and airport shuttle is $50, which is about $30 more than an Uber). Additionally, I didn't know, but apparently the breakfast is complimentary if you book directly through the hotel instead of Expedia (if not booked through them, it is $16/person). For the price of the hotel, I wish more amenities were included (like the airport shuttle and breakfast). Otherwise, the hotel is beautiful and wonderfully located, and the staff were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it as long as you don't mind the price."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Wonderful staff Public areas beautiful. Rooms could stand an upgraded. Our bathroom wasn't clean. Old soap in the soap dish and dust/ bugs in toilet. Maybe the room we had was empty for a while? But overall nice property with multiple pools and a great buffet breakfast with a huge selection."
