4 Star Hotels in Palmares, Alajuela Province

"This lodge and spa is located in a valley between two mountain ranges at about 5000 feet (compared to Monte Verde 4300 feet) and is considered to be within the range of cloud forest. When we arrived, we were checked in and the host was very nice but failed to give us clear information of how to navigate the privately owned cloud forest with very hilly resort location and four water falls all within the property. Even though we mentioned that my wife is just recovering from knee surgery he...

"Very comfortable, great view, and great value."

"We stayed 3 nights at Finca Vibran. The grounds and flowers are gorgeous and the views of the valley are amazing. Our room was very nice and comfortable. My only issue is that it was very warm in our room and only a small bathroom window for ventilation. Our only other option was to open our door at night (not worried about our safety at all) but the issue was bugs. There is mosquito netting over the bed, but I don't want to let all those bugs into our room. Lots of bugs anyway--beetles...

"My partner and I enjoyed our week stay at the Studio Hotel Boutique. This property has a very cozy, warm and artistic ambience - sculpture, paintings, sketches, lithographs are generously displayed. Breakfast has the traditional Costarican & continental on offer. Staff were excellent across the board. Located approximately 30 mins. away from the downtown/central hustle & bustle of San Jose, Studio Hotel offers a suburban respite after a day of sightseeing & adventure. The only negative we...

"Modern, up-to-date apartmanets, great lay out, lots of light anf life, convieniently located, great dining places in the same block, one small market in the same mall area and bigger grocery store near by, fantastic service by every single staffer, Rebeca is a sweetheart, and Kellyana is on top of things. I go to CR every year once year and always go to a different place, but from now own, Apartamentos Cityzen will be my Tico-Home."

"It was a magical place with so much heart."

"Excellent property and great service."

"Tercera vez que me hospedo en estos apartamentos. De hecho, tercer apartamento distinto. En general muy conforme con el apartamento y sus servicios. Las almohadas y sábanas me gustaron, no tanto el colchón, demasiado suave para mi gusto. Incluye implementos de cocina y cocina completa, lavadora y secadora. El complejo cuenta con piscina y gimnasio. Volveré seguramente en más de una ocasión. "

"Staff was nice, I will definitely stay again!"

"Cute place with all the amenities, good if you want a functional kitchen and a little work space. The shower was decent. The bed was on the firm side. Unfortunately being on the road it’s quite noisy. "

"I loved the pool and the yoga platform above it with the Buddha ! Very peaceful and lots if attention to details that made it beautiful! Lots of love went into the place. Loved the hiking in the coffee plantation on the mantra trail and even the hike up and down the hill to La burra restaurant. Tho you can get a little shuttle down and up. Staff super friendly and welcoming."

"So I got two voicemails from Expedia before the reservation saying the hotel was closed . I called Expedia talked to an agent that then said no it’s open and the reservation is good. My son and I drove there got to the gate which was closed and there was no one to be found. No Expedia is not even refunding me . Not only should you not book this hotel but you should not book anything through Expedia . "

"This is a SCAM!! There was no address and no instructions for finding or check-in!!"
