Alfaro Vacation Rentals

"Great restaurant next door. Didn't get to try the pool. The road to/from a little awkward if you're driving yourself. Secure. "

"It was great, close and convenient to the airport, great breakfast and common areas"

"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! "

"Fairly basic rooms but clean and comfy beds and shower was good Lovely gardens, we enjoyed watching the army ants carry leaves along the path Pool was nice to sit by in the afternoon and for a refreshing dip Breakfast was delicious, good coffee Enjoyed cocktail hour with crisps and dips "

"Had a very pleasant 2 night stay. Excellent service and the staff were super friendly. Really enjoyed the breakfast. Would gladly stay here again."

"Very accommodating and clean. I used thier shuttle service and had a very late check in (2am) The free morning breakfast was a perfect start to the day. Would come again"

"Amazing is an understatement. The hosts were very gracious, attentive, pleasant, informative, & over all the best host we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. The bungalow was very clean, bed was comfy and firm & necessary toiletries were provided & up kept. Even with no AC it got so cold at night that it wasn’t needed. It is very high up in the mountains, if you have never been to Costa Rica just be prepared for very steep, thin, one roaded roadways going up to the cottage. The views and peaceful surrounding make everything worth wild. Over all we recommend and look forward to returning here someday. "

"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."
