Costa Rica hotels & accommodations
Excellent resort and great for the entire family. I would not settle for anything less. A definite 5 star facility. The hot springs were awesome and the Club Rio excursions were fun. Food was expensive though. I wish they offered an all inclusive price.
In our trip through Costa Rica, my dad and I repeated the place because we like it lots! the staff, the cleanliness, the facilities, the breakfast (included), the swimming pool area.... I would go again, thank you!
We ended our Costa Rica trip here, and loved coming to a modern, clean, beautiful place. The surrounding area is old, and a bit dirty (it's downtown San Jose), yet this is a little Oasis of greatness right in the middle of everything that you can see in San Jose (as there's not too much to see). Staff was very friendly, and the Hotel itself was quite nice.
Westin playa conchal Stay from 1/9-1/14 Room overrun by ants - asked them to spray but that didn't do anything. Ants were all over the sink and the wall. Tried to use our own spray which helped some but ants were back all over by the end of the week Got food poisoning on the first night that landed me in my room the whole next day. Didn't give us the Costa Rica res...
It was not good the first night. We had to stay in the handicap room after we booked a suite. It was very awkward and we were there on our honeymoon, but for work at the Walmart Expo. We literally did not even want to be there the first night. We had a bunch of work to do before our event and were extremely tired and only had a small desk and did not even supply a ...
Everything was excellent, except for the fact that we had phoned a day ahead to ask if we could leave some of our luggage at the hotel for 2 nights before our stay while we headed up to the volcanoes and were told that it definitely would not be a problem. Upon arriving we were told that was not true and that we would not be able to leave the luggage there. We did end ...
I enjoyed the stay here! great views from the hills, and there is a driving path to the top of the property with amazing views. Good breakfast and the hot tubs and slides are alot of fun. Tiles in the bathroom were broken and the bathroom needs an update, not bad but old
They didn't have a standard room ready so they upgraded us to business class. The staff spoke good English and were helpful when we asked them for assistance. We ate at the resturant and the food was superb. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Pool was so freezing that our kids cried. We had reserved 2 nights based on the pool so was a major disappointment. The gym only had 3 pieces of equipment and a few weight balls. Would be nice to have another treadmill (we waited multiple times) and some free weights. The staff was amazing- very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is also one of the best I’ve seen as f...
Great value for your money, breakfast was awesome
Deceiving description and pictures
This hotel was awesome except for one thing. It doesn't have a pool. Other than that it was great!
The rooms a spacious und very clean, we srayed with our two kids 9 and 12 at the 10th floor with a great view on San Jose. The highl for our boys was definitely the indoor pool on the third floor. Of all included breakfasts in Costa Rica during our three weeks journey this one was absolutely the best.
Bathroom needed updating, poor maintainence
Thought a return to airport area eould alliw a smooth transport to jaco..so i chose the hilton...while there i was very impressed the most with guys out front...a a plus group Prfessional Treating you with concern care..a number one group... Even the guy in coffee shop...i am age 71 hard to walk and he saw me stopling ast the short ramp in the lobby..immediately he ran...
Highly recommend Relax Natural Village. It's a lovely little place with a group of beautiful bungalows. Very private, very clean. Breakfast was great every day and Christian was an amazing host.
FIRST time staying at Hotel Mango. Chose it because of close proximity to SJO Airport as my sister had an early morning flight the next day. We had stayed up the street at the Holiday Inn Express upon arrival to San Jose and liked the location but decided to find something more affordable. Hotel Mango is a smaller, gated property. Much more quaint and Tico style t...
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay in Jaco for 4 night and we got lucky with the weather. Jaco Laguna Resort was only satisfactory compared to our hotel in Manuel Antonio. I thought that the JLR was okay, nothing great, nothing terrible. PROS: - SUNSET, SUNSET, SUNSET. Did I mention the SUNSET. - Location on south end of Jaco's beach with calmer waters and nice sof...
Hyatt Hotels are always nice, but I was truely empressed with this one. It was located in a great plaza with lots of nice restaurants and other facilities nearby. Everything was excellent except that the orange and pineapple juice at the breakfast bar was not made from fresh fruit and tasted terrible!
This place is a place you dont want to leave. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great view. Very good breakfast. Large rooms, good beds.... everything is perfect. But the best: They can take you on horseback riding tours, ATV tours, night walks with their own staff using their own facilities. One of the best hotels I stayed inn for many years. I recommend staying there...
Cannot beat the views - each room, situated at the base of the volcano offers stunning views. Rooms were much larger than appears in photos. Amazing service from staff - have never been treated so nicely and professionally. Very secure - gated security at entrance. Close to major attractions. Included buffet breakfast of tasty meats, egg station, fruits, along with lov...
This hotel is located a good distance from the little town, however, the grounds are absolutely beautiful, lots of flowers, birds and butterflies and a great view of the Volcano. Breakfast is great with lots of choices and local dishes included. If you want to experience hot springs, you have to go to specialized hot springs locations like Ecothermales and Tabacon. ...
Unit was full of aunts. They were on the chairs, and bit us when we unknowingly sat down on the chairs. Worst was waking up with bed bug bites all over body.
I absolutely loved everything about this hotel. From the dedicated and outrageously helpful staff, to the fantastic little cottage with a massive clean bathroom with loads of space to put your toiletries.. the hot water was HOT and the pressure excellent. They proved a hair drier which was so helpful. I loved my room, two double beds and a good sized fridge and plen...
Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends. The staff is fantastic, helping us to arrange dinners and other things. Also the hotel is across the street from one of the best restaurants in San Jose.
We are huge fans of AM resorts (Dreams, Secrets, etc.) and Costa Rica. This is our 3rd visit to this beautiful country and its kind sweet people. . Imagine our disappointment... This resorts is incredibly mismanaged. The workers in their majority look unhappy which probably explains the poor quality of service we received. The food and liquor are below the company stan...
Room: clean, big Net: foc and fast location: approx USD35 from airport and takes 35 mins Very close to mall New hotel - less than 3 mths old
Brought our 1 and 3 year old and loved breakfast, walks to the beach and coming back to a refreshing pool. The staff more professional than at any establishment we've seen in Costa Rica. Restaurant had reservations! That's a great sign for a place off the beaten path. It is quite the scene. They could use an easier high chair, but that's all I can say! It was great!
My girlfriend and I stayed here after 5 days in Tamarindo. I read reviews and had heard good things but did not know what to expect. How happy I was that I booked at TRYP! Staff was attentive and friendly. Hotel location was relatively off the beaten path so there was no excess noise on a Friday night. The room was HUGE! Room service was good (but not billable to my ro...
If you're staying a night in Liberia to rest up from your travel day... it's perfect. they pick you up from the airport and the son was waiting for me at the outside gate. the family is very pleasant, the rooms very clean and had all the things you need for a night... a/c, fan, cable, hot showers... and the villa is only 1km from the central park area. they even have a...
Cheap places to stay in Costa Rica
The staff are very welcoming and can help with most any question or comment, be it weird or sane. The location can't get any better for both beach and park. Even if you want party, maybe 10 mins up the hill you have it. Really clean, the dorm room felt heavenly both nights there. The kitchen is a most wonderful addition to this place too.
A sweet family run this place and i felt very welcome there. I had a large room that was very clean and had good WIFI. There were plenty of bathrooms with new facilities and the hotel is very central and very safe. I'll definitely stay again when in San Jose.
Room small and full. No place to put somethings! The shower is in the room! Where to put on your cloths??? Would maybe okay if this dorm would be only a female dorm, but not as a mixed dorm!
We stayed at Hostel Cattleya for 2 nights and it was great. Jonathan was very helpful and provided loads of suggestions of things to do and a very detailed map of the area. He helped us book our tours and onward transport too. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. The kitchen has recently been renovated and it is amazing! I would definitely recommend that you s...
The guesthouse was clean, comfortable, chill & fun. By far the best thing about Pura Visa Mini Hostel are the staff, extremely knowledgeable about the country, accommodating, kind, helpful, friendly & fun. The dorms were clean & comfortable & the main social deck area is set up with beanbags & rocking chairs to sit or snooze in. Its close to the beach and with in...
Good to Meet local people and Friendly personal
nice staffs and hostel
Friendly helpful staff, great location. Easy walk to museums and surrounded by tons of great restaurants and bars.
The hostel is cheap and has everything you need
super friendly staff that was more than willing to help out whenever I asked. I stayed in the single room which was clean and comfortable but had a kind of musty smell to it but it is an old building. They offer coffee in the morning and it is attached to a really yummy restaurant called The Corner - definitely stop by for breakfast you will not be disappointed. Ki...
The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I am not an advanced Spanish speaker, but they spoke clearly which made it easy for me to understand, which I greatly appreciated!Thank you!
The photo is a little deceiving considering it is missing the lamp post, utility box etc outside the building on the corner. It is also on a very busy intersection in the downtown core. (Something to be aware about if booking for a family). Our stay there, was very pleasant. For being a busy hostel it was relatively quiet, all patrons were respectful of the "quie...
You'll get a good room for a good price.
I am stayed in a double room for 2 nights and thought the standard was great for the price paid. Rooms are clean, comfy beds and good showers. There's also free coffee and the kitchen facilities were great and well used by guests. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, you can see iguanas and toucans there if you're lucky. The staff are also fantastic and cannot do enou...
Me and my fiancé had a great stay at the Tico Lindo Hotel. Nice air-con room and a great pool to cool of in :) The breakfast was super and the staff were really friendly and was always there to help.
Right in the middle of Tamarindo, a touristy surf-town is this awesome hostel. Great prices, awesome people, and tons to do nearby. You can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes, and surfboards can be rented for around $10 per day (ask the locals, not the shops). Such a great place to spend a few days!
My complaints are: Kitchen fumes/smell in my room every morning.. bad advice/help about transfer out from monteverde.. i relied on them to get me a shuttle to san jose, and wound up having to take the bus because their shuttle needed more than 1 person to run, whereas i could have gone with interbus... but they were fully booked once i found out Sloth couldn't delive...
We had been traveling in Costa Rica for three weeks this was our last night stop. Staff was helpful , room clean, airport shuttle on time. Enjoyed Alajuela town square on a Sunday afternoon just blocks away.
The room we received did not look like the one in the picture. It was acceptable but not very nice. It was ok, but just a bit disappointing.
We spent there 3 nights during Christmas - very busy time. The guy on the reception answered all our question and booked all the activities before we arrived to make sure that we got places during busy time. The room is clean, hor watter. Very close to the time. Kitchnen with all the equipment and drinking watter. Games 😀
There was a scorpio in the room at our first night. As we understand this is Costa Rica, they gave us a Raid can and nothing more was done. On the other hand, the site is well equiped and the staff is nice. It is near everything you need.
Great location, awesome hospitality! reccomemd the surfing class, great place to meet and make new friends!
Cool vibe, large room (we were in the double room with private bathroom) nice common space. The Orosi valley is so beautiful and the town very friendly. The only downside is that our room wasn’t very clean...but for the price it was ok!
All you need is here! Great facilities, great place, hammocks, chill people. Especially the owner was so nice and helpful that you feel at home right away. It was really a nice stay I recommend it.
Don’t doubt it! It’s spotless, the soda inside the hostel has amazing casados and ceviches!!! And the staff is awesome, the receptionist was very helpful giving us lots of tips about Costa Rica and specially about Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Buses schedules, connections... everything!
Location right by the beach, short walk to the centre of town, tour company recommended was amazing & the hostal breakfasts were made to order and really amazing value!
A bit of a walk from town but unless you need to use the atm, there’s an amazing Soda across the road. Everyone in the hostel ended up extending their stays (even sharing double beds with strangers). Definitely the best choice in town
We stayed in hostel plinio for 2 nights to visit Manuel Antonio national park. The pool and communal areas were nice and it was handy having a kitchen. Breakfast was very good and the staff were helpful! However we think that it is a quite overpriced hostel for what you get as it is fairly basic yet costs similar to more luxury accommodations. Also we would suggest pay...
The dorms are very small, but this explains the low price I guess. There's a kitchen that you can use, but no real common area. Only 2 showers and toilets, for about 20 people. The staff is really helpful and kind. I think that the price is fair.
Beautiful hostel surrounded by nature. Location is perfect if you have a car. If not, then you will have to walk 2km from the bus stop, with part of the path going really up, especially if you carry a backpack! Breakfast for 7USD is also worth it. Would definitely have stayed if it had been more central

Rooms are small but had everything I needed. Completely updated and clean. Worth more than the price. I stayed in other hotels across the area that were way more expensive but were awful dirty places. Staff was great. I didn’t eat there but the lil garden cafe is adorable and the menu looks great. My only complaint is that they were doing construction that started at ...
Friendly new hotel. There are a lot of different types of restaurants on walking distance. It isn't close to the city center of San Jose. That will take about 25min/$25-$30 by taxi. To start/finalize a trip to San Jose it is a perfect place to choose.
This is a reasonable hotel and decent enough place to stay for one night. We used it to get to the domestic Nature Air terminal early the next morning. Breakfast is offered by Denny's and is an American affair. When we arrived there was some sort of tournament going on which meant the place was full of adolecent youths... and can get pretty loud with the Casino there. ...
Was really nice, good place for adventure, nice canopy, hot spring water.
Location was incredible, tucked away in the cloud forest. The staff was top notch and the tours were amazing. We loved the casitas and the resort grounds. The resturant also had a variety of home grown options. Be sure to bring snacks if you don't want to eat at the restaurant. As there is nothing in walking distance. Perfect for a jungle retreat! ++breakfast was also ...
Quiet Oasis above San Jose. Enjoy the view and tasty breakfast
I alwasy use this hotel when i come to Costa Rica San Jose. Their gym is amazing big and equipped. Japanese restaurant Fuji is veny nice to have.
The hotel was okay. Very friendly staff, and nice restaurant/bar. Very thin walls, you can hear everything going on outside at the pool and the loud TV at the restaurant early in the morning.
Recommend this hotel to friends
Costa Rica Guesthouse was a good place to spend my last night before flying out back home. As almost all hotels in CR it is overpriced, but it was clean (though bedsheets had lots of old ink stains on them) and the bathrooms were nice.
What a wonderful stay we had here! Words cannot describe how beautiful this place is. The view is amazing! We saw a lot of tucans from outside our room. The room is amazing, clean and very spacious. The bed is probably the best bed we slept on our intire trip. It is so special to wake up in the middle of the jungle with all the jungle noises. Last but not least Michell...
Having read a couple of the more recent reviews, I was slightly apprehensive about our 1 night stay in Turrialba. I cannot stress enough how much you should ignore any bad reviews of the place and especially of Mark and Annabel the hosts- they are up there with the some of the most lovely and helpful people we’ve come across. Seriously, I can’t imagine any bad experien...
This hotel is a good option for those on vacation, mainly if you travel with your family. Location is good, since it's on a walking distance to downtown. Also nice to have a swiming pool and free internet. However, it's not a good option for business travelers: too noise. If you need a comfortable bad, also not the best option.
This is not a 4+ star hotel, and I'm very surprised at the ratings overall. The hotel is located at the south end of Jaco, which is more quiet than being in town, at the expense of requiring a taxi to go back and forth for restaurants, etc. The hotel is dated and feels it. It is right on the beach, and the pool is ok (not great, not bad). The staff are very helpful...
I loved the hotel! It's close to the airport and it's a quiet place to relax. It has a beautiful garden with many local species of plants. Rooms were large and clean. I will go back again soon!
I had a wonderful stay though it was only an overnight. Situated in a local neighborhood location that you feel you are really in a different place. The night was so relaxing, internet access was very fast. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and will definitely be the place where I will stay when I c...
The hotel was close to town, nice hotel, the facilities were great! The staff very helpful!
This was our first stop on our adventure across Costa Rica, and what a great introduction! The location is fairly good, although driving up the mountain, down unpaved roads and past cliffs for the better part of an hour would make anyone think twice about visiting Arenal, but i promise you, it was worth it! The hotel was located off a main road, just down the street f...

Have no complaints. The internet worked well, the staff was friendly, the view was terrific and so was the location on a hill high above the ocean
Under our expectation! The breakfast and dinner bad quality!
Pro: location. A few steps from the entrance of Manuel Antonio park or the beach. Cons: expensive. Lots of staff working but not run well. Under construction. Looks like it still needs more work. Chipped paint and cracks in walls. Bugs in our room. Room wasn't ready when we arrived.

Great rooms, a nice sojourn after th rainforests of Costa Rica
Awesome stay wife and I blown away. Hope to return soon
I called the hotel twice before booking with you Jose Vega was so professional. He found us a room even though the hotel was very full. I liked working with him. Idalie at the front desk was wonderful I forgot my phone charger and she helped me find one to use. She even offered to let me use hers. I so appreciated her. When checking in.

I really enjoyed my stay, I met some lovely and interesting fellow guests. The staff were really helpful and the was lovely. The New Years dinner was nice as well. I enjoyed the facilities and there is a zoo and bus stop right near the resort.
Our stay was awesome. The staff is fantastic. Special thanks to our Bellman Giovanni. The facility/grounds/accommodations are magical. I can't wait to come back. Pura vida!
Great cascading mineral water pools, pools with slides, good food. A slight problem with water was fixed immediately. Recommended, although a bit pricey
The hotel is situated next to a noisey road which has large trucks and motorbikes throughout the night. In addition the generators that keep the water flowing in the trout lake are also very noisey and run 24 hours a day. This all makes for very noisey rooms and we thought we had booked a peaceful hotel. So we suggest it is renamed the noisey hotel!
Everything was perfect
