San Rafael de Heredia Vacation Rentals

"Our flight landed at 11:00 a.m., but the hotel’s free shuttle would not pick us up until 1:00 p.m. due to check-in time. After being awake since 3:00 a.m. and with nowhere to go for two hours, we took an Uber to the hotel so we could eat and rest. The grounds are beautiful, and most of the staff were kind and professional. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once we reached our room. We were told no upgrades were available despite our Expedia VIP status. The assigned room had a strong, unpleasant odor, old dingy carpet, and felt very dated. After a short nap, I woke up with a severe headache and nausea from the smell. When we reported the issue, we were initially told we would need to pay for an upgrade. Thankfully, the manager, Brandon, was understanding and moved us to a room on the premium floor. The smell was gone, but the room was still dated, with a noticeable dip in the mattress. Linens were clean, and the view was nice. Food at the hotel was disappointing overall, though breakfast was acceptable and the café con leche helped. The lobby felt plain and lacked the atmosphere expected from a hotel that markets itself as five-star. Evening piano music was a nice touch, and drinks were reasonably priced. Housekeeping was inconsistent. After returning from a full-day tour, our room had not been serviced except for removed towels, and housekeeping knocked late in the afternoon instead. "

"Bathroom fixtures dirty No water bottles provided Furniture was old. One of the drawers came off when we opened it"

"I hate giving a poor rating for staff because most were very nice except for person working the front desk Saturday evening. We arrived back from a 14 hour excursion to find 3 of our 4 rooms the keys didn’t work. No apologies given. As far as cleanliness, they never cleaned toilet before we checked in. There was a floater. We had no refrigerator in the room and blinds to patio didn’t work. The one pro is that it’s close to the airport. "

"Very nice hotel "

"Great!!! If you need hotel near the airport. Very good breakfast. "

"Convenient location. "

"Just stayed for airport proximity. It was fine. Appreciated the shuttle pick up and drop off to the airport. Breakfast was good but can be improved. Rooms on the smaller side a bit tight for a family of four but since we were only there a short time it was fine."

"Great service in all areas, highly recommended, my second time in this hotel and of course will come back again! "

"Very short stay (1 night) before heading to the airport, would have liked to stay longer if time had permitted. Very nice property. "
