"The hotel is in a secluded location, which is exactly what we were looking for. There is only one restaurant, but they offer enough variety for the four nights we stayed. The bungalows offer great privacy in beautiful grounds surrounded by the forest, and there are loads of fauna sighting opportunities."

"Cedrela is nestled in the mountains of Costa Rica. It was easy to navigate there. The accommodations are clean, but the standout of Cedrela is the restaurant, Al Mercat.

Barceló San José

10/10 Excellent

"Everything's was good, clean and quiet. Far from things tho, not walkable to anything. "

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a hidden gem tucked away in the city! The property gives off the vibe of an Oasis! It was very relaxing and the scenery was beautiful! The breakfast was delicious EVERYDAY! They had a buffet style with real fruit juice and coffee options. The staff were very pleasant and friendly! "

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Except for a young lady at the front at time of check in it was 1:50pm and I asked for f we can check in and she said at around 2:20-2:30 and I was fine with that till I saw so many couples checking in and they were never told no. I stayed right in front of her and she never said anything to me till I approached her at 2:30pm and she said I think I can do it now but a young guy jumped in and gave me the room in less that 5 minutes. She was never rude but that is not acceptable if the rooms are available even if I needed to pay extra! She even made my mother wait till then and my mom arrived at 9am but they had rooms available cause the hotel is not even full"

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my time at Doubletree Hotel in Carirari in Costa Rica. The property is really unique and the openness gave the hotel such an great vibe. While the property was a little dated, the hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was close enough to take an Uber to downtown San Jose to see some of the sites. The hotel has a shuttle for drop off and pick up at the airport. I highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in the San Jose area. "

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We are so glad we chose to stay here the night before flying home. It is located right next to Hertz which was a great coincidence for us to drop off our car and then walk over to the hotel rather than have to take a shuttle and/or figure out a taxi. Add on a nice hot free breakfast! Easy peasy, clean, quiet and safe…loved it!"
