Edward was so helpful. He picked us up at the airport and drove us back the next morning. He had lots of good tips from where to eat to when to arrive at the airport. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. All we needed.

Good meal at nearby restaurant, though it was not the Denny's near the casino. Owner Flor is excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. We would stay there again if and when we return to Costa Rica.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Rio Segundo is alright. Nothing wrong with the area at all. Good place to look into Costa Rican history. I'm just not much of a city person myself.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The area is not very nice, but the hotel security is very good and there was no need to get out

3/5 - Okay

Jim&Ruth

We spent two nights in Rio Segundo, when we first arrived in Costa Rica, and again, as we were leaving. Because of its proximity to the SJO Airport, Rio Segundo is a great jumping off spot for visiting the rest of the country.

5/5 - Excellent

Great place to crash on your way to Pavones to surf! 10 out 10 for surfing!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Close to airport. Nearby casino was really odd. Only let you bet max bet. Only way to fix it was get small denominations, then go ahead and max bet. After that you can repeat bet,
