Lovely breakfast on the balcony was so special. The place was so peaceful! Around the garden we saw some small wildlife creatures and loved the plants everywhere. We felt very welcome and the staff was so helpful. This was a perfect way to start our holiday after long travel. Room was big with plenty of room for the luggage. We have traveled a lot but will remember this place for the rest of our lives, a hidden gem!

I loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

We really enjoyed that the room was really nice (we had the Junior suit), with a good AC, a king bed and a large bathroom (with a large shower that had a really good pressure 😁). The interior of the hotel was also really nice, with different areas to sit and a lot of greenery. The breakfast sitting area had an open roof, so we could enjoy the really nice breakfast (fruit and a full meal, coffee) while having some sun, a little breeze and hearing the birds chirping. We felt very safe in the hotel and the stuff was amazing - very kind, friendly and helpful! They had our towels changed every day (which is honestly so nice when being in this tropical country). The location was also good since it is in the north of the Alajuela center, which made it easy when we went on the different tours (volcano, coffee farm, La Paz etc.).

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!

Great location in the heart of downtown Alajuela. Friendly staff, albeit slow check-in process. That said, a great spot for an overnight before or after a flight. Certainly, one of the best options in Alajuela (going on 14 years of living in Costa Rica and flying in/out of SJO regularly) that isn't absurdly priced like a $200 Holiday Inn. Included transport to the airport and breakfast are a huge bonus for this price!

The transport to the hotel back and forth I paid a taxi. Because the hotel said that they only provided the Shuttle service until 13 Hrs. The breakfast was superb, very tasty and the best coffee. The staff was kind, friendly and attentive. I will return.
