8.3 Excellent
Pros: The gardens, the view, the fire pit, the donkeys. Ramiro was super helpful.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: I am writing a review for the Superior Double Room although originally i booked the suite. The room was comfortable,big,had everything we needed. It was not a suite as we wanted but a great value for money,and wonderful staff! really the best :-) helped us a lot! Very close to Poas volcano,a must see!
Cons: The suite is literally a spider horror house...Above all it is so dangerous,to have so many spiders in the room everywhere! I really wanted the suite,but the many spiders+moldy smell wasn't for us. It was our luck the hotel wasn't full and they helped us a lot by changing the room, but it would be another story if we had nowhere to go... I hope that they took care of the spider problem and no one will get bitten there.

Featured amenities include a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, and luggage storage.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: I loved the staff here. They were so friendly and welcoming. The grounds were unreal, and the hiking trails are a must! The rooms had a beautiful view as well!
Cons: In the rooms we had a lot of bugs, but other than that they were great. (Mostly rows of ants in the bathroom).
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Enjoyed a brief visit to Xandari. Beautiful views, wonderful comfortable rooms and facilities - we loved the colorful design and the "outdoor" showers in our rooms were awesome. Great food and friendly staff. The hike to waterfalls on the property was really nice too - good exercise, nice scenery.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Friendly people Wonderfull breakfast
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The property, grounds, view, and service were all outstanding. We only stayed one night on the tail end of our trip but I wish we had a few more days there!
Cons: We ate one dinner aside from the complimentary breakfast. The restaurant is expensive and while the food presentation was fun and creative, the quality was just mediocre .
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Amazing 'resort' type setting, very relaxed, pool was great as well as the trail walks to the waterfalls. Good food (a little pricey). The staff could not have been more helpful. It's a little trek from the airport/any amenities but worth it for a final relaxation of a holiday or the first sample of CR. Will
Cons: There is very little outside the hotel doors (without a major walk on a dodgy road or paying for a taxi) so you are restrained to the hotel grounds. Hefty uphill trek to the restaurant!
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Location was unbelievable. 40+ acres of landscaped grounds (including a waterfall), amazing views of the valley, and 3 pools. Their staff is so kind and accommodating and made the meals fun. Breakfast was a great variety and I appreciated the drink on arrival. It's really a beautiful place that feels eco conscious and celebrates the vibrancy of Costa Rican culture and environment. Didn't get to experience the spa, but it looked beautiful and the services offered seemed unique to Costa Rica.
Cons: The dinner prices were pretty steep. The food was delicious generally but my shrimp was a little overcooked and I would have like to see more authentic Costa Rican dishes on the menu. I barely noticed though because the view was so impressive.

Pros: Breakfast was basic and healthy, the location was stunning and the grounds and facilities were amazing

Pros: Airport Costa Rica bnb was the perfecr place to finish off our trip to Costa Rica! The room was clean and bright, our last gallo pinto breakfast was delicious, and we loved the quiet neighborhood and front room of our little casita with its huge windows. The staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us get situated and leave for the airport in the morning. I would highly recommend.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Beautiful B&B in an equally beautiful gated community. Spotlessly clean and everything seemed brand new. The owner/manager was wonderful--very welcoming and accommodating to our difficult schedule, which involved two very early mornings. I was concerned about needing a taxi at 3:45am on our second morning in order to catch our plane and the owner/manager not only arranged the taxi for us but got up to make sure that there were no problems. The B&B is in a residential community so we didn't have easy access on foot to restaurants but we ate wonderful dinners in the room both nights thanks to Uber Eats which was extremely easy to use and convenient. This is the fourth time we have stayed overnight near SJO and Airport Costa Rica B&B was by far the best airport hotel experience we've had. This will be our go-to spot from now on when we fly in and out of SJO!
Cons: Nothing---everything was wonderful!
6.7 Good
Pros: Nice room. Safe area. No time for breakfast. Owner answered all my questions and let my son borrow a soccer ball to play with on the soccer field across from the room.
Cons: We were there at the time of the town fiestas which meant a lot of loud music from the surrounding area. Not in the owners control but I would have stayed somewhere else had I known.

The Hampton Inn & Suites Airport-San Jose hotel in Costa Rica is located just a couple of minutes from the Juan Santa Maria International Airport in San Jose, which means it is also conveniently located close to several of the most important companies, the free trade zones and our national parks. Coming to San Jose, Costa Rica for business or leisure? Then look no further. Come and enjoy our hotel facilities such as our business center, conference rooms, exercise room, swimming pool and much more. And for your comfort, our hotel studio suites give you much more room for almost the same rate as a regular room. We love having you here in Costa Rica at the Hampton Inn & Suites Airport-San Jose hotel!

Cons: You will definitely need a car to get here.

Pros: A lovely garden and good restaurant. We always receive breakfast directly in the room.
Cons: We have been informed only a couple of days before arriving that the pool was being renovated and will be open again in 2020. There was no shampoo available.

Pros: Rooms very spacious and clean. The grouds, reception, restaurant and pool area have a very nice atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. There is a pool table (free of charge) and board games. The hotel is close to the airport
Cons: Alajuela is not a very nice city (not much to see, chaotic, less appealing compared to other parts of Costa Rica) . We ate 2 nights in the hotel as we could not find a nice restaurant closeby.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Great room and comfy bed. Pool was great as was the restaurant. the staff made this place - they were very helpful and seemed to enjoy helping in anyway they could.
Cons: Perhaps bigger towels as they were quite small (in bathroom) and tea/coffee facilities in room
9.2 Excellent
Pros: It is a nice place - with a lot of potential to be a great boutique hotel - the staff, especially the our waitress at dinner, is really nice and helpful. The pool area, the restaurant and the gardens (incl. the “trails” or so to say walkways ) are really nice, but there is room left to improve. We stayed here two nights - on the full day we did the Poas Vulcan - which is really close and easy to reach (by car) . We were able to stay longer, after the check -out in the “public-area” what was really nice and convenient as our flight was in the evening. The rooms are spacious, with a fridge and A/C etc.
Cons: It’s nothing big to improve - just cleaning the pool some more often (just falling leafs but nevertheless), the fruits on the walkways which are rotting time by time, the walkways which are partly blocked partly palms or Bambus. The rooms are nicely made but there is also the last bit of “heart” missing ... - and the “patio/veranda” on the same side as the outside of the A/C is located is just very inconvenient due to the noise and warm air ...

Pros: We stayed for 3 nights before going on a tour & so glad we did ! Beautiful grounds and pool with friendly staff who helped with organising taxis & transfers. Breakfast was fine and the beds comfortable. Highly recommended .

Cons: Limited activity options
7.9 Good
Pros: Hotel Buena Vista is a nice place to stay for airport arrivals/departures. The hotel is clean, comfortable and the staff are incredibly friendly. The location is remote and there is no where to walk around nor any shops nearby so you are slightly forced to remain on the hotel premises but they have a bar, restaurant and pool with sun loungers so that's no hardship. If you have a car, you can easily get around and visit more places.
Cons: The location is a little remote with nothing within walking distance. Whilst the hotel was lovely, I feel it was slightly overpriced and catered for the richer American tourist. As a result you can find better value places but for ease and comfort I cannot fault the place.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Hotel Buena Vista is hidden gem tucked up in the hills of Alajuela. It is only 20 minutes from the airport and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They provide a free airport shuttle and even picked us up from the airport after returning via bus from the beach. The property if beautiful and offers a great view of the city. Definitely recommend for a comfortable, quiet stay on either end of a Costa Rica adventure.

Pros: It was beautifully quiet and a good place to recover after a long flight. The garden is a delight
Cons: You really need a car. However the access to the lodge is very awkward and steep. The only other hotel within walking distance was very unwelcoming to us and kept us standing in the heat outside the security gate! So our only option for dinner was a taxi ride away.

Pros: Convenient complimentary pick up from the airport - hopped on the shuttle and it was very easy. Grounds are really well maintained and fun to explore. Nice outdoor seating and great breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was comfortable and easy to access from the airport and or day trips around san jose.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: We got to this place very late (around 12:30 am) on our first night in Costa Rica. It seemed to be a risky neigborhood, but when we got there, it was beautiful with a great parking area. There was someone there to greet us even though it was very late and made sure we were comfortable. The next morning (our first day in Costa Rica), we got up early and walked around the pool and the yard. We were in the pool before 7 am and the kids had a wonderful time (we did too). The breakfast was excellent (something for everyone) and we would have stayed longer!
Cons: By the beautiful swimming pool, there was a hottub, but no hot water in it! I just found this a little bizarre. There seems to be little else available around the hotel, in the neigborhood, but this might also be from a lack of time on our part to explore.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Nice small hotel with very nice, clean, comfortable rooms surrounded by dense landscaping that makes you feel like you're in the forest rather than in a residential neighborhood next to the airport. We took advantage of the pool and enjoyed that. Restaurant was nothing particularly special but had a good selection of well-presented, tasty food. Staff were very helpful. Since we had an early flight we couldn't take advantage of their breakfast, so they arranged for a bagged breakfast to go that we picked up before leaving. They also arranged for a taxi driver who arrived promptly at 4:30 am as requested.
Cons: No complaints - nice place for an overnight before a flight.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: All interactions with staff were extremely pleasant. The location is close to the airport and the property is secluded, quiet and actually very beautiful. The food at the restaurant was also very good.

It's close to the airport and downtown but in a safe and quiet spot that is not too remote. The staff is really warm and helpful. Great experience. Free airport shuttle as well.

7.1 Good
Pros: Location was awesome, breakfast was nice, property was quiet...everyone was nice!! This property was grand in it's day!!
Cons: I went to the Spa to get a much needed manicure, and although I appreciate the youg lady that did the manicure; she needs additional training. I asked several times if she had ever removed gel nail polish or worked with gel, her reply each time was yes. The conditions are unsanitary at best. She nearly destroyed 3 nails before I forced her to do it the correct way. She still tried removing before they were ready. Gel nails have to be removed with acetone and aluminum and carefully; it was as though she didn't want to use her product (acetone, aluminum) and the foil was used. She was so heavy handed with my cuticles that she caused 3 nail beds to bleed and I was afraid of infection; since it was very obvious she does not sterilize her tools. My advice...don't market a building as a "Spa" and then hire untrained people to take care of the clients. She either has never attended formal training ,or there is no oversight. Either way, I do not recommend getting a manicure or pedicure in the "Spa" , it is not enjoyable or relaxing ,and you are at risk of nail health.

Pros: The location of the restaurant was wonderful. Sitting in the morning and watching and listening to the birds was special. And when raining, it was even better. The grounds were beautiful.

Pros: Stunning view, Very calm place, beautiful rooms with elegant design.
Cons: The concept of "healing", very small portions of food (I asked for a second glas of juice- Sorry, not possible!), two tiny slices of bread with three small pieces of fruits and coffee with goat milk- thats the healing breakfast . There was no staff around... felt a little bit like on an other planet, but in a very strange way. The were no curtains at the window in the bathroom - felt little bit nudistic. The pool was not very clean und the jacuzzi was icecold - healing icecold?
