Everything about this hotel was exactly what was described. Breakfast by the pool every morning at the time you desired was amazing. It's pretty close to alot of other things and really close to San Jose. The room was very clean and the hotel itself was very beautiful. The only Con I have is that it does not have air condition BUT it gets cool at night so having the windows open did it just fine!! Would most definitely rebook again!

Our room overlooked the main road with a view of Poas Volcano. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash as well as a hairdryer. The hotel was recently opened, so everything was nice and new. Had a meal from the restaurant which was great. Buffet breakfast was also very nice with lots of options. Great option if you need an overnight stay close to the airport (5 mins away). Next door to the City Mall which is handy if you want to do a little shopping. Also close enough to do a day trip to Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall and the Starbucks Coffee Farm.

The best place in San José ! We were impressed by the quality of the service, the beauty of the place (Well decorated, access to the pool and AC) and the professionalism of the person who work here. We strongly recommend it, the bed was comfortable, the area safe, and we could find lot of shops, parks and families living around. The Breakfast is fabulous, with fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juices and continental option (bread, cheese, ham, jam, butter, cereals...)

I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!
